Planning commission approves minor subdivision for Clayton Lappley with conditions and easement note
Summary
The Lower Paxton Township Planning Commission voted to approve a final minor subdivision dividing Clayton Lappley’s 86‑acre parcel into a 1.15‑acre building lot and an 84.89‑acre residual lot, approving several waivers and deferrals while requiring an easement note for future sidewalk/driveway access and review of final verbiage.
The Lower Paxton Township Planning Commission approved a final minor subdivision plan for lands of Clayton Lappley, creating Lot 1 (about 1.15 acres) and Lot 2 (about 84.89 acres) from the 86‑acre parent parcel. Planning staff described the plan, saying it "has a total area of 86 acres and create 2 separate lots," and noted the proposed Lot 1 would front Devonshire Road while vehicular access is proposed via a new driveway connection to Hampshire Road.
Commissioners voted to approve the plan with a package of waivers and deferrals recommended by staff and HRG, but explicitly excluded support for waivers to omit existing features, existing contours and conservation easements from the plan. The approval included a condition to add a note reserving a township right to a future easement along the Devonshire frontage for sidewalks if needed; staff reminded the commission that a plan would not be recorded until comments and conditions were satisfied. The motion was made by the mover who read the plan details into the record and was seconded; the commission approved the motion by voice vote.
