Council approves waivers for Steelton Terminal Project subdivision after split roll call
Summary
Council voted to grant waivers for the Steelton Terminal Project subdivision—allowing temporary deferral of sidewalks and other procedural waivers—after representatives said the northern parcel subdivision follows ongoing litigation on an earlier proposal; the roll call showed Bowers, Johnson, and Paioletti in favor, Jenkins and Ross opposed, and House abstaining.
Representatives for the Steelton Terminal Project asked Steelton Borough Council to waive portions of the Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance related to preliminary plan submission, plan size, and sidewalk deferral so the applicant could proceed with a second proposal while litigation continues on the first.
Brianna Brown, representing the applicant, said the approximately 137-acre parcel spans three municipalities and crosses zoning districts; she described the most substantive waiver as a sidewalk deferral and said the applicant does not yet know what the proposed warehouses will store because the plan is to construct and then seek tenants. Engineer Randy Watts recommended the applicant present the plan and council vote on the waiver and the plan after review.
Council held a roll-call vote on the waiver: Vanessa Bowers — Yes; Denae House — Abstain; Vanessa Jenkins — No; Charles "CJ" Johnson — Yes; Juianna Paioletti — Yes; Nastashia Ross — No. The motion carried. Council then received the subdivision plan for consideration.
The discussion focused on jurisdictional complexity and a limited set of deferrals; council did not specify tenant uses for the warehouses and did not attach conditions about uses beyond standard zoning and subsequent plan review.
