A project to build a single home and a twin town house along Broadway in Salisbury Township has been tabled.

The Salisbury Township Planning Commission voted unanimously 7-0 in separate votes at its Aug. 27 meeting to table the minor subdivision and grant a time extension for its review until Dec. 5.

Planners reviewed the minor subdivision at 1763 Broadway submitted by Green Hammer Properties, LLC, which proposes to subdivide the property into three lots and develop a single-family, detached dwelling on Lot No. 1 and semidetached (twin) units on Lots No. 2 and 3, as well as construct required infrastructure and site improvements.

The lot is 18,750-square-feet. Lot No. 1 is 8,750-square-feet. Lots No. 2 and 3 are each 5,000-square-feet. Each lot fronts Broadway.

The property is vacant land in the R4, Medium Density Residential zoning district.

Planning commission member Holly Weiss made the motion, seconded by planning commission vice chair Jessica Klocek, to bring to a vote the tabling of the project.

Klocek made the motion, seconded by Weiss, to bring to a vote an agreement for the extension of the project.

Planning commission members chose not to consider and vote at the Aug. 27 meeting on the project’s waiver requests.

Jonathan Rogers, project engineer, Keystone Consulting Engineers, Inc., representative for the developer, submitted an updated plan, projected on video screens in the municipal building meeting room.

Rogers, referring to an Aug. 22 review letter from Barry Isett & Associates, Salisbury Township engineer, said, “There were about 15 comments in the letter about the wall. The majority of the comments refer to the retaining wall, the majority of which concerns the southwest wall.”

Rogers said that, instead of constructing the retaining wall, a portion of the foundation of the house will be extended 3.5 feet.

By not constructing the retaining wall, Rogers said, “It really reduces our disturbance of that embankment.”

Planning commission chair Richard Schreiter expressed concern about the 3% slope at the back, or north, side of the property.

Attorney Jason A. Ulrich, partner, Gross McGinley, LLP, township solicitor firm, noted the location of a PPL electric utility pole on the property. “You want to make sure the easement is indicated,” Ulrich said to Rogers.

It was mentioned the township would take over the project’s storm sewer system upon its completion.

The Salisbury Township Planning Commission is next scheduled to meet 7 p.m. Sept. 24 in the meeting room of the municipal building, 2900 S. Pike Ave.
