Board Raises Fire-Access and Private-Road Compliance Concerns for Moh Views Subdivision

Town of Lumberland Planning Board · March 10, 2025

Summary

At a presentation on the Moh Views (Mohan Lake) subdivision, FCO Engineering reported a 1.91-acre disturbance and erosion-control measures; board members pressed the applicant to resolve private-road width and emergency-access issues and asked for technical reviews (including John Fuller’s comments) before the next submission.

Scott Boltz of FCO Engineering presented an updated sketch plan for the Moh Views subdivision at Mohan Lake, describing septic-system placements, home locations, grading changes and erosion-control measures. Boltz told the board the team had calculated "1.91 Acres of disturbance" and had prepared a slope analysis and additional submissions to respond to prior engineer comments.

Board members said the primary outstanding issue is access: the private road serving the proposed lots does not clearly meet town specifications for emergency equipment, and the board discussed options including upgrading the road to township standards, providing pull-offs, or requiring sprinklers with tanks that would carry inspection and maintenance obligations. The board asked the applicant to consult the highway and building departments, secure the road owner's cooperation if fixes are required, and provide written comments from John Fuller before the next submission. The board flagged code language limiting private drives that serve more than three single-family dwellings as a compliance concern.
