Planning commission recommends conditional approval of Artman/Starrett subdivision spanning Salem Township and Murrysville
Summary
The commission recommended approval, subject to specified map and note edits, of a two-lot subdivision that would split property across Salem Township and the Municipality of Murrysville; the applicant must submit a sewage planning module and secure Murrysville approval.
The Planning Commission on Sept. 4 recommended approval of a 2-lot subdivision for property owned by Florence Jean Artman and Sara Starrett, subject to a set of textual and technical corrections and required intermunicipal approvals.
Surveyor Eugene Heald and property owner Sarah Starrett presented the reinstated plan, which was previously tabled and returned to the commission for additional revisions. The plan covers land partly in Salem Township (Tax Map Nos. 57-07-00-0-035 and -036) and partly in the Municipality of Murrysville (Tax Map No. 49-16-00-0-099). The commission instructed multiple changes to the plan language and notes, including renaming "Remaining Lot B" to "Residual Lot 2," revising the statement of purpose to describe which pieces lie in each municipality, removing blanket dedication language from the Owners' Certificate, and amending note language concerning acceptance of private roads and utilities.
The commission also required a clarified easement note establishing private permanent easements between Lot 1 and Residual Lot 2 to provide ingress, egress and regress to State Route 66 and to the existing home on Residual Lot 2. The plan must show pre- and post-subdivision acreages: the existing property area before subdivision is listed as 12.93 acres, Post-Subdivision Area of Lot 1 as 4.83 acres and Residual Lot 2 as 8.10 acres. The commission required submission of a Sewage Planning Module for Lot 1 and noted that SEO, township and DEP approvals are required; approval by the Municipality of Murrysville is also required before final action.
On a motion by Paul Holleran, seconded by Connie Mattei, the commission recommended approval subject to the conditions enumerated; the motion passed unanimously. The commission asked that a revision number and date be shown on the plan before further processing.
