Commission OKs Heinnickel preliminary subdivision conditions, reserves commercial lot-size relief
Summary
The Commission recommended approval of a two‑lot subdivision for Alquin Heinnickel but required amended plan notes on setbacks and minimum lot sizes and instructed the owner to submit a written modification request for any commercial lot‑size reduction under SALDO Section 601(B)(2).
At the Nov. 6 meeting the Salem Township Planning Commission reviewed a proposal from property owner Alquin Heinnickel to subdivide tax parcel 57-16-00-0-013 into two lots for future development.
The commission required amended plan notes clarifying a 30‑foot front building‑line setback, a minimum lot size of 2.0 acres for commercial developments and 1.0 acre with at least 125 feet of frontage for residential developments. Commissioners instructed that, if the owner seeks modification of the minimum commercial lot size under Section 601(B)(2) of the SALDO, a written request must be submitted and, if granted, a specific note must appear on the plan documenting the Board of Supervisors' approval of that modification.
Connie Mattei, Planning Commission chair, said the proposed veterinary clinic configuration met side and rear setbacks as submitted, but the ultimate recording of the mylar is dependent on whether the lot is sold or designated for residential use; if the use is unknown, the mylar will be held until land‑development or use decisions are final. Paul Holleran moved and Mattei seconded a recommendation of approval subject to conditions; both voted in favor.
