Commission flags possible wetland buffer touch on Delsey Drive subdivision (2606)
Summary
Application 2606 (Block 2101, Lot 45) for a subdivision on Delsey Drive seeks frontage waivers and a shared driveway; commissioners identified a narrow wetlands strip that could touch the lot and agreed to alert planning staff and the commission engineer.
Franklin Township’s Environmental Commission reviewed application 2606 (Block 2101, Lot 45) on July 18 and agreed to flag a possible wetlands/buffer issue before the planning board reviews the subdivision.
Commissioners noted the parcel is long and narrow, with mapping that suggests a thin strip of wetlands running behind the row of homes on Fall Avenue that 'might be touching the property.' One commissioner said maps are for reference only and recommended that the engineer examine soil types and elevations to confirm any delineation. The commission agreed to include language in its report noting a 'possible wetland or wetland buffers' and to forward the file to the commission engineer for review prior to the planning-board schedule.
No variances were requested by the applicant; the discussion focused on whether mapping and elevations were legible enough on the submitted plans to determine the presence of wetlands.
