Resident warned she likely needs Special Exception to subdivide for recreational use

Washington Township Board of Supervisors · June 16, 2025

Summary

Resident Susanne Sardino asked about subdividing parcel ID-20K to sell 10–14 acres for recreational, non-building use; Solicitor Sharon Myers said a Special Exception under Section 735 (Other Recreation Area of a Nonprofit Nature) would likely be required and the board did not act on a subdivision request at the meeting.

Resident Susanne Sardino, owner of parcel ID-20K, addressed the board about subdividing her property to sell a 10–14 acre portion for family recreational use only. "She is aware there are no building rights available if she subdivides," the minutes state; Sardino said her buyer intends only to park a camper on weekends and use the land for four-wheeler riding, picnicking and hunting.

Solicitor Sharon Myers reviewed the township ordinances and advised that the parcel’s proposed recreational use would likely require a Special Exception under Section 735, "Other Recreation Area of a Nonprofit Nature." The board did not grant any subdivision approval at the meeting; Solicitor Myers’ guidance was recorded for the record and any application would need to follow the township’s formal process.
