Supervisors approve shed setback modification, Planning Commission tables Benzinger solar plan
Summary
Board approved an Alexander Lefever setback modification for a 10' x 24' shed after finding the current position yields a 13.25' rear setback; the Planning Commission tabled the Benzinger Solar Land Development pending resubmission addressing HRG comments.
The Jefferson Township Board of Supervisors approved a modification request related to a shed owned by Alexander Lefever. The shed, described as 10 by 24 feet, had neighbor permission and was moved; supervisors recorded a resulting setback of about 13.25 feet from the rear property line and approved the modification (motion by Ford Stepp, second by Lois Rankin).
Separately, the Planning Commission and two representatives from CVE USPA reviewed HRG, Inc.’s technical review letter dated Jan. 5, 2026 for the Benzinger Solar Land Development. The commission voted to table the plan until the developer submits a revised application that addresses HRG’s listed items; the township is awaiting a revised submission.
Why it matters: the shed modification resolves a localized zoning/setback dispute and avoids escalation to enforcement, while the solar development remains pending technical revisions — delaying any construction or permitting until the developer resubmits.
