Dunaway subdivision approved after board removes 30-foot setback requirement
Summary
The Board approved a subdivision for Jack Dunaway to create a 5.547-acre estate parcel, amended to remove a 30-foot front setback for Parcel 2 while retaining side and rear setbacks and several other required plan corrections.
The Salem Township Board approved the Dunaway Subdivision Plan on May 21, authorizing subdivision of a 5.547-acre parcel from Tax Map Parcel #57-08-00-0-168 for future estate purposes, subject to several plan conditions.
Applicant Jack Dunaway raised objections to four conditions on the draft plan, principally contesting a required 30-foot front building setback that he said would unnecessarily reduce the usable length of his property. Dunaway told the Board he believed he had complied with the other requirements and asked for relief. Solicitor Falatovich noted that the house fronts the woods and that a 50-foot right-of-way between the house and woods would effectively encompass the 30-foot setback; under those circumstances the solicitor said it would likely be appropriate to waive the requirement.
The Board voted to amend the approval to strike condition number five requiring the 30-foot front setback while retaining the required 10-foot side and rear setbacks; the amended motion passed unanimously. Remaining conditions include moving the owner's name and tax map number to Parcel 1 on the plan, clarifying current property use statements for Parcel 1 and Parcel 2, revising the 50-foot easement note, showing the Oak Hill Road right-of-way width, supplying an SEO-signed non-buildable waiver for Parcel 2, and adding a revision number/date to the plan.
The motion to approve the subdivision with those conditions passed unanimously.
