Dallas Township Planning Commission grants conditional final approval for Newell Subdivision

The Dallas Township Planning Commission granted conditional final approval for the Newell Subdivision at its meeting on May 12, 2026. The subdivision was represented by Glenn Johnson of Glenn Johnson & Associates, LLC; the approval was made subject to adding a note on the plan and obtaining client and township signatures prior to recording.

"Mr. G. Johnson requested conditional final approval to allow time for obtaining the necessary signatures before recording the plan," the minutes state. Solicitor William McCall confirmed that outstanding concerns from a prior meeting had been addressed and that the township had received a review letter from the township engineer and a DEP non-building waiver letter.

Commissioner Samantha Zimmerman identified two waivers on the plans that lacked dates and noted confirmation that approvals related to structure dimensions and utility certifications were on file. The DEP planning waiver and nonbuilding declaration were recorded as completed on May 1, 2026; Mr. Johnson said he would add that date to the final plans before signatures were obtained.

Vice Chairman Robert Besecker Jr. moved for conditional final approval, Ryan Stoa seconded the motion, and the motion carried (tally not specified). The conditional approval allows the applicant to complete ministerial steps for recording the plan after the required signatures are added.
