Penn Forest Planning Commission accepts minutes, tables multiple land‑development items

The Penn Forest Township Planning Commission opened its July 27, 2026 meeting at 6:00 p.m. and accepted the minutes from the June 22 meeting after a motion by Member James Denier and a second from Member Stacy Venetos; the motion carried. Attendance was recorded and Henry Doll was listed as absent.

Old business consumed most of the agenda. Several land‑development and subdivision proposals were tabled without substantive public discussion. For example, the reverse subdivision application P‑24‑9 (Mazzella) and land‑development plan P‑25‑8 (Gullone) were each tabled on motions by James Denier with seconds from Stacy Venetos; the minutes note only that the motions carried. The record shows repeated use of tabling motions to defer full plan reviews to later sessions.

Commissioners also handled routine procedural items: multiple applicants requested brief deadline extensions, most of which the commission approved. Township engineer Rock Stahovic appears repeatedly in the record providing review recommendations; several conditional approvals were tied to his review letters. The meeting closed following a brief discussion led by Member Jessica Seersma about distributing a community survey; the meeting adjourned at 7:46 p.m.
