Salem Township Planning Commission recommends lot addition for Penn Home & Farm, with conditions
Summary
The Planning Commission recommended approving Penn Home & Farm LLC’s request to add Lot 1 as additional side yard for the Kilpatrick property, subject to technical plan revisions including setback lines, acreage disclosures, and documentation of corporate membership and access from 54 Mark Drive.
The Salem Township Planning Commission on Sept. 4, 2024 recommended approval of Penn Home & Farm LLC’s request to add Lot 1 to the property of John and Patricia Kilpatrick (Tax Map No. 57-12-00-0-021), subject to a list of technical conditions.
Tom Spears, identified in the record as the property owner and sole owner of Penn Home & Farm LLC, participated remotely and presented the application. Resident Ken Brozack questioned whether a right-of-way exists to access the rear parcel; Solicitor Gary Falatovich explained that the Garden Courts Plan of Lots from the 1960s referenced two proposed 50-foot streets that were never dedicated or opened and that no easement was reserved, and that Penn Home & Farm will access parcel 57-12-00-0-021 from its adjacent parcel 57-12-00-0-032.
The Commission’s required conditions include showing on the plan: a front building setback line of 30 feet from Mark Drive and side/rear setback lines of 10 feet, labeling the driveway to the Kilpatrick dwelling, adding Mark Drive right-of-way width and identification, showing pre- and post-subdivision acreage, and identifying any sanitary sewer easement affecting the property. The minutes also note that a Non-Buildable Waiver for Lot 1 was signed and submitted, and that documentation must be provided confirming Penn Home & Farm LLC’s registered address and member(s) with the Pennsylvania Department of State. The plan must include a note stating that Penn Home & Farm owns 54 Mark Drive (Tax Map Parcel No. 57-12-00-0-032) and that access to parcel -021 from Mark Drive is available through that property.
Paul Holleran moved and Chair Connie Mattei seconded a recommendation of approval “subject to the conditions mentioned above.” Holleran and Mattei voted for the motion and it passed unanimously.
