ESTATE OF KATHLEEN JEFFORDS – 2 Lot Subdivision and add-on plan on Newark Road.  This plan was presented by Jim Fritsch of Regester Associates.  The property is approximately 309 acres and is presently in three parcels.  This plan would change the property to be two parcels.  One parcel will be in Upper Oxford Township, Chester County and the other parcel would be in Salisbury Township, Lancaster County.  The center of the creek would be the property line.  In the event that the course of the creek changes throughout the years, the line would still be the center of the creek.  Mr. Fritsch will be seeking four waiver from the Board of Supervisors, as follows:

 

 

Additionally, we are still waiting for the Chester County Health Department review of the Form B – Non-Building Waiver.

 

               Motion was made by Karl Herr, seconded by Harold Bryson and carried unanimously to approve this 2-Lot Subdivision Plan contingent on Chester County Health Department approval.  MOTION CARRIED.

 

HICKMAN/HERITAGE BUILDING GROUP – 2 Lot Final Subdivision Plan on Baltimore Pike.  This plan was approved by the Planning Commission at the May 1, 2006 meeting, therefore it was appropriate to sign the plans.  Planning Commission signed 12 copies of the subdivision plan.

 

BRENDAN DOUGHERTY – 2 Lot Subdivision Plan.  Upper Oxford Township Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors waived the review process of this plan since most of the property was located in Lower Oxford Township.  The township of Lower Oxford approved this plan by Resolution at their last month’s meeting.  Upper Oxford Township Planning Commission signed 12 plans.

 

MALLET HILL ESTATES/ALFRED FORTUGNO – 77 Lot Preliminary Subdivision on Ewing and Forest Manor Road.  The review of the sewage facilities planning module was received from our consultant, Castle Valley.  Laura Swiski was present to discuss the possibility of a site-walk in October if agreeable to the Planning Commission.  Laura also discussed with the members the possibility of Mr. Fortugno revising his subdivision plan to include all on-site septic systems instead of the community system.  If this should happen, a new sewage module will be sent to Castle Valley for review by request of the Planning Commission. 

 

KINGS MILL I – 32 Lot Preliminary Subdivision Plan on Newark Road was discussed.  This plan will need an extension for next month.  Laura Swiski informed the members that she would get an extension by then or submit a letter to formally withdraw this plan since Kings Mill II is still being processed.
