Salem Township PC tables Tresco lot consolidation after plan and sewage concerns
Summary
The Planning Commission reviewed a multi‑parcel consolidation for Tresco Paving Corporation, issued extensive plan correction requirements, heard neighbor complaints about wastewater, and voted to table the plan pending deed clarification, SEO confirmation of septic systems, and corrected plan resubmission.
At its Dec. 3, 2025 meeting the Salem Township Planning Commission reviewed a proposed consolidation of multiple parcels into a single property for Tresco Paving Corporation. Commissioners provided detailed drafting corrections, raised a potential encroachment and tax‑parcel discrepancy concerning the private 'Plant Road,' and expressed concern about existing and proposed sanitary facilities.
Commissioner Paul Holleran moved to review the Tresco Lot Consolidation Plan; Commissioner John Durco seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. The commission asked that the application identify the owner name as a person (Vince Tresco) on the application, align the stated purpose on the application with the plan, indicate that a digital plan had been submitted, and provide missing tax map and deed references. Subsequent motions requested application updates and accepted the plan as administratively complete pending corrections.
The commission then enumerated a long list of required plan changes: amend owner's name to Tresco Paving Corporation to match deed language; add a formal Statement of Purpose describing the conveyance of Tax Map Parcel No. 57‑04‑00‑0‑184 from Damimo Storage, LLC to Tresco and the subsequent consolidation of parcels; show the edges of the right‑of‑way for Storey Road and Thorn Run Road and a forty‑foot front building setback along Storey Road; relabel the zoning/setback table to 'Salem Township Set Back Requirements'; show locations of all on‑lot sanitary facilities and water sources; depict utility easements and road identification numbers; and add or revise notes concerning a 50‑foot private easement over 'Plant Road' intended to benefit parcel 57‑04‑00‑0‑005.
Solicitor Gary Falatovich told the commission that county records suggest the area identified as Plant Road may still be in Damimo Storage’s name; he asked for recorded‑deed clarification. Neighbor Tom Frazzini complained that Tresco’s pond and wastewater runoff has entered adjacent yards for years. Owner Vince Tresco said he plans to install a holding tank and invited Frazzini to work directly with him to remedy the situation. The commission concluded it needed solicitor input on the Plant Road encroachment question and SEO verification of any existing septic systems before acting further.
On a motion by Holleran (second Durco), the commission tabled the consolidation and provided informal comments to the applicant; the motion passed unanimously. Follow‑up items are: provide corrected deeds/recording evidence for Plant Road/parcel ownership, SEO inspection letters confirming functioning systems (or required upgrades), and resubmission of a revised plan that incorporates the listed drafting changes.
The item was tabled; no final consolidation approval or recording occurred at this meeting.
