Supervisors back Holley setback request to be raised at Zoning Hearing Board

Springfield Township Board of Supervisors · October 22, 2024

Summary

The board agreed to support Mr. Holley's request for a 15-foot side-yard setback (instead of the required 25 feet) at a Nov. 20 Zoning Hearing Board hearing; four supervisors supported the variance, one opposed, and the solicitor will notify the Zoning Hearing Board of the Board's position.

Solicitor Scott MacNair briefed the Board about a forthcoming Zoning Hearing Board application from Mr. Holley, who is seeking a 15-foot side-yard setback where the ordinance requires 25 feet; the reduced setback would lie on Mr. Holley's own adjacent property.

Supervisors Jim Hopkins, Bill Ryker, Pete Kade and Dave Long indicated they supported the setback request; Supervisor Lorna Yearwood opposed it. MacNair said he would send a letter to Solicitor Reiss of the Zoning Hearing Board to advise of the Board of Supervisors' position ahead of the Nov. 20 hearing.

The minutes record the Board's preference but do not contain the full application materials or the Zoning Hearing Board's ultimate decision, which will be made at the Nov. 20 proceeding.
