Board conditionally approves Bash estate subdivision with multiple required revisions

The Salem Township Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to approve the Rebecca Johnston, Executrix of the Estate of Lawrence F. Bash, subdivision of Tax Map No. 57-06-00-0-001, approximately 212 acres, subject to a set of required plan revisions and approvals. The board enumerated detailed items the plan must address before final recording, including a revised Statement of Purpose, relocation of the Estate's title/contact information, consistent owner naming, acreage identification for areas crossing the municipal line, and a revised easement note specifying a 50-foot access and utility easement to benefit Lot 1.

The board also required that Lots 1 and 3 be removed from the Agricultural Security Area via a separate request and resolution and that planning modules for Lots 1 and 3 be submitted to the township SEO and DEP. The motion recorded unanimous votes (Bob Zundel, Ken Trumbetta, Kerry Jobe). The planning review included specific language the board requested be reflected on the plan; as an example, the Owner's Certification language was to be revised to read: "I, the undersigned, Rebecca Johnston, Executrix of the Estate of Lawrence F. Bash, being duly sworn and deposed according to law, state and acknowledge that the Estate is the Owner of property shown on the within plan, that the plan was prepared within the scope of my authority as Executrix and at my direction. I further acknowledge the same to be my act and deed and desire the plan to be recorded after final approval is received."

The board also instructed that the dividing line between Salem Township and Loyalhanna Township be shown on the plan, that road identification numbers for Bash and Fenneltown Roads be added, and that a non-buildable waiver for Lot 2 be prepared and submitted for approval.
