Supervisors grant conditional approval for storage yard and concrete batch plant; abutter raises setback concerns
Summary
The board granted final approval of an existing conditions plan and preliminary approval of proposed site work for James Daniels' storage yard and concrete batch plant, subject to numerous engineering, permitting and setback modifications; an abutter questioned an as-built structure within the 40-foot front setback.
Salem Township supervisors amended and then approved the land-development submission from applicant James Daniels for a storage yard and concrete batch plant on Tax Map Parcel 57-19-00-0-090, granting final approval for the existing-conditions plan and preliminary approval for proposed improvements subject to a lengthy set of conditions.
Conditions recorded in the minutes include: adding a statement of purpose to the plan cover sheet; labeling existing structures and the 16-foot wall; showing fire hydrant locations and right-of-way edges; completing stormwater-engineer review and WCD erosion-and-sediment-control approvals; obtaining PennDOT Highway Occupancy Permit (HOP) and SEO/DEP approvals for on-lot sanitary facilities; adding front 40-foot setback lines and parking dimensions; Township driveway-permit approval for Boggs Hollow Road access; and submission of revised stormwater and erosion control plans that consider wall reconstruction and regrading.
Abutting property owner Lisa Segina raised concerns that an as-built structure appears to lie within the 40-foot front setback and asked when those issues would be addressed; Planning Commission Chair Connie Mattei and supervisors explained that a modification request and additional review were required and that some corrections will be addressed as conditions of approval. The motion to grant preliminary approval passed unanimously.
