Commission recommends preliminary approval for Heinnickel subdivision; commercial lot‑size relief would require supervisor modification
Summary
The commission recommended preliminary approval to split parcel 57-16-00-0-013 into two lots, required revised plan notes on setbacks and minimum lot sizes, and noted that any deviation from the 2.0‑acre commercial minimum must be requested in writing to the Board of Supervisors.
The Salem Township Planning Commission reviewed a proposal by property owner Alquin Heinnickel to subdivide tax parcel 57-16-00-0-013 into two lots for future development. The commission required the plan notes be amended to specify a 30‑foot front building line setback; a 2.0‑acre minimum lot size for commercial developments (Section 601(B)(2)); and a 1.0‑acre minimum lot size with 125 feet minimum frontage for residential uses. The plan must also show a revision number and date before recording.
Commission Chair Connie Mattei noted the township's SALDO does not impose a separate frontage requirement for commercial properties and explained that if Lot 2 is intended for future commercial use the applicant must submit a written modification request to the Board of Supervisors; if sold as residential, land-development approval is not required and the mylar may be recorded once submitted. Motion by Paul Holleran, seconded by Connie Mattei, to recommend approval of the preliminary plan subject to the stated conditions passed by majority vote.
