Blair Township conditionally approves Harker subdivision and signs sewage planning forms
Summary
Blair Township supervisors approved waivers for shared-driveway and plan-scale rules and granted conditional approval for the John M. Harker subdivision pending engineer comments; they also authorized signature of the Sewage Facilities Planning Module Component One and a Non-Build Declaration.
Chairman Paul Amigh and the Blair Township Board of Supervisors conditionally approved the John M. Harker subdivision plan on Jan. 6, 2025, after township engineer Eric Banks of Stiffler McGraw reviewed the submission and recommended approval pending resolution of engineering comments.
Banks told the board the developer had submitted waivers to the subdivision and land development ordinance (SALDO) for Section 350-36.A.3 (shared driveways), Section 350-30.G (lots crossing the Blair Township/Freedom Township municipal boundary), and Section 350-22 (plan scale). "I have no exception to the waiver of Section 350.G, or to the waiver of Section 350-22," Banks said, and recommended conditional approval once the engineer's review comments are addressed.
Supervisor Brad Germaux moved to approve each waiver and to conditionally approve the subdivision; Supervisor Lou Lusk seconded, and the motions passed unanimously. The board also authorized signatures on the Sewage Facilities Planning Module Component One and the Non-Build Declaration required for the plan.
The board noted the developer added a plan note stating that any additional lots created after approval would require the existing shared drive to be built to township roadway standards and dedicated to the township. The conditional approval requires all items in the Stiffler McGraw review letter (dated Dec. 20, 2024) be satisfactorily addressed before final signatures are recorded.
Next steps include resolution of the engineer's comments and completion of the planning-module paperwork before the subdivision plan is finalized.
