Planning commission recommends Koenig lot split with storage-use note, seeks septic records
Summary
The Salem Township Planning Commission recommended approval of John R. Koenig’s plan to create an 8.4801-acre Lot 4 from tax map 57-09-00-0-110, requiring a precise "Statement of Purpose" wording, a revision number/date on the plan, and clarification of septic-permit records. The commission noted a prior "Storage" restriction placed on the plan for sanitary-sewage enforcement.
The Salem Township Planning Commission on Nov. 6 recommended approval of a plan by property owner John Randall Koenig to create one new lot (Lot 4) containing 8.4801 acres from parcel 57-09-00-0-110, subject to plan edits and documentation.
Koenig, accompanied by surveyor Art Kromel, presented the plan and the commission required the Plan's Statement of Purpose be amended to read exactly: "The purpose of this Plan is to create one (1) new buildable Lot (Lot 4) containing 8.4801 acres from the lands of John Randall Koenig (Map No: 57-09-00-0-110) containing an existing building, septic system and cistern in the locations shown on the Plan." Township Solicitor Gary Falatovich noted that a "Storage" note had previously been added to the plan "for enforcement of the sanitary sewage facility," and Township SEO records show no permit paperwork for the originally installed septic system. The commission also required a revision number and date be added to the plan before final filing.
Chair Connie Mattei and Member Paul Holleran moved and seconded the recommendation; both voted for the motion. The commission’s recommendation conditions make clear that if the property's intended use changes from the storage limitation or if the septic system status is unresolved, the applicant will need to return to the commission for land-development review and soil testing. The commission additionally confirmed, in response to a resident question, that Falcom Lane will remain a private road.
