Planning Commission plan approved with condition; Rosenbauer objects and member abstains
Summary
The Planning Commission and supervisors approved the Jones/Shaw/Benzinger subdivision plan as it pertains to Jefferson Township contingent on a notation preventing future subdivision of the Benzinger 81.43-acre parcel without meeting code (§22-802.D(2)(c), §22-902.3, §22-903.8); PC chair Rosenbauer voted ‘nay’ and Jim Jones abstained due to a relative on the application.
The township's Planning Commission reviewed the Jones/Shaw/Benzinger subdivision plan and voted to approve it as it pertains to Jefferson Township, subject to a notation on the plan stating the Benzingers' 81.43-acre property cannot be subdivided or developed in the future without addressing the requirements of Chapter 22 §§22-802.D(2)(c), 22-902.3 and 22-903.8.
Graff Surveying, the owner's representative, told the commission the Benzingers are not interested in future development or changes to the narrow 16-foot right-of-way providing access. The commission approved the plan contingent on adding the notation; Manager and Planning Commission Chair Leo Rosenbauer voted 'nay' citing inconsistency with the cited code sections and a member (Jim Jones) abstained because William Jones is a relative. After the Planning Commission review, the Board of Supervisors approved the plan (motion by John Cypher, second by Lois Rankin) and carried the motion.
The commission also voted to adopt solicitor-recommended language to revise Chapter 22 Part 18 (Violation and Penalty) and reviewed proposed Chapter 15 changes related to grass and leaf debris; supervisors moved to advertise Chapter 15 and Chapter 22 revisions in tandem for adoption in April or May.
