ITeam+Forward withdraws Athena Drive lot-consolidation plan after neighbor raises concerns about springs and septic disclosures

The Board read a set of proposed conditions for final approval of the ITeam+Forward lot-consolidation plan for Athena Drive, including requirements to identify springs or watercourses, to specify structures and demolition timetables, and to clarify septic and well connections for the new single-family home. Later in the meeting the Board accepted a written request from JT Hodil withdrawing the plan.

Resident Eric Hageder asserted that the applicant and its engineer had been dishonest about the property's contents: he said they "have been lying about the contents of the property for eight months" and reported that an adjacent owner told the township there is a spring house and spring. Solicitor Falatovich noted attorney-client privilege applies to some supervisor–attorney correspondence and said that identifying watercourses had been part of the removed agenda motion. The Board accepted the withdrawal unanimously; the withdrawal leaves open the possibility of future separate sewage-permit actions by the property owner if replacement sanitary systems are needed.

The withdrawn plan had included a number of substantive conditions (demolition timeline, conversion to a single three-bedroom home, septic and well changes and a required note that the new system would serve only a new single-family home). With the withdrawal, the Board removed the item from further action at that meeting and directed that the withdrawal notice be circulated to interested parties.
