DRC endorses County Engineer comments on Garry Gilbert subdivision; drainage concerns noted
Summary
The Development Review Committee agreed with the County Engineer's requested revisions for the Garry Gilbert subdivision in Lower Township, including showing chevrons, reducing driveways on the county road, setting development back from the road and reconsidering frontage access; the County Engineer cautioned against flipping the infiltration basin due to site slope.
Jake Mericle, Senior Planning Aide, presented the Garry Gilbert subdivision (Block 422, Lots 2.02 and 2.03) for Lower Township, a proposal to create a net six new lots for seven single‑family homes and one duplex, with new stormwater facilities and a new road.
Robert Church, County Engineer, recommended a series of changes: show existing County chevrons on plans, set the proposed development further back from the County road, reduce the number of driveways facing the County road, and change frontage access to a proposed local road. William Whesper asked whether the chevrons were a sight issue and whether the infiltration basin could be flipped so a parcel would front the local road instead. Church said the chevrons likely are not movable and warned that "the site slopes to where the basin is so flipping it might lead to drainage issues." The DRC had no further comments and agreed with the County Engineer’s suggested comments for revisions.
