Commission recommends approval of Artman/Starrett two-lot subdivision with edits and approvals required
Summary
Salem Township Planning Commission recommended approval of a two-lot subdivision for Florence Jean Artman and Sara Starrett, requiring textual revisions, corrected parcel labeling, pre/post-acreage figures (existing 12.93 acres; Lot 1 = 4.83 acres; Residual Lot 2 = 8.10 acres), a Sewage Planning Module and Murrysville approval.
The Salem Township Planning Commission on Sept. 4, 2024 reviewed a reinstated subdivision plan for Florence Jean Artman and Sara Starrett that would consolidate parcels split between Salem Township and the Municipality of Murrysville into a two-lot subdivision.
Surveyor Eugene Heald and owner Sarah Starrett presented the plan. The commission required several textual modifications to the plan, including changing all references to "Remaining Lot B" to "Residual Lot 2," removing certain dedication language from the Owners' Certificate, amending note wording about dedication and acceptance of private roads, and replacing any "PID" references with "Tax Map Parcel No." The commission also required a specific Statement of Purpose be added, reflecting that the property was conveyed by deed dated June 5, 2015 and listing the three tax parcel numbers across the two municipalities.
The commission directed that the Pre- and Post-subdivision acreage be clearly shown on the plan: "Area of Existing Property Before Subdivision - 12.93 acres; Post-Subdivision Area of Lot 1 - 4.83 acres; Post-Subdivision Area of Residual Lot 2 - 8.10 acres." The commission also required a Sewage Planning Module for Lot 1 and noted that Township, SEO and DEP approvals, and approval by the Municipality of Murrysville, are required before final action.
A motion by Paul Holleran, seconded by Connie Mattei, recommended approval subject to the conditions; the motion passed unanimously. The commission further required a revision number and date be shown on the plan before final recording.
