Summary

Planners recommended approval of a two‑lot subdivision for tax parcel 57‑16‑00‑0‑013 but required amended plan notes on setback and minimum lot sizes and said any commercial use deviating from the 2.0‑acre minimum must be approved in writing.

Property owner Alquin Heinnickel and surveyor Ryan Jones presented a proposed subdivision to split tax parcel 57‑16‑00‑0‑013 into two lots for future development. Planning requested specific note changes: a 30‑foot front building line setback; a 2.0‑acre minimum lot size for commercial developments; and a 1.0‑acre minimum with at least 125 feet of frontage for residential developments.

Commissioners explained that any modification to the 2.0‑acre commercial minimum under Section 601(B)(2) must be requested in writing and, if approved, must appear as a note on the recorded plan. The commission offered to provide a time‑waiver so the Township would not be held to the 90‑day statutory action deadline while outstanding items are finalized. If the parcel is sold as residential, the applicant may submit a mylar for signature and record the subdivision; if the future use is commercial, a land‑development application and modification request will be required.

Paul Holleran moved and Chair Connie Mattei seconded a recommendation to approve the preliminary plan subject to the noted conditions; the motion passed by majority vote.
