The plan for a seven-home subdivision along East Lynnwood Street has been tabled by the Salisbury Township Planning Commission.

Planners voted unanimously 7-0 at the April 24 meeting to table a project submitted by Thomas P. Williams Jr., who proposes to subdivide one lot at 621 E. Lynnwood St. into seven lots for the development of six twin dwellings and one single-family detached dwelling.

According to the meeting agenda review, the overall parcel is 40,800-square-feet. The twin lots will each be 5,400-square-feet. The single-family detached lot will be 8,400-square-feet.

The property is in the R4, medium density residential zoning district.

Attorney Ronald E. Corkery of Corkery & Almonti Attorneys at Law, represented Williams.

Driveways for the houses will be off Lynnwood Street.

Plans are for driveways to accommodate two vehicles for off-street parking.

Rear-yard swales, for which there would be easements, are planned along East Granite Street at the back, or north side, of the property.

“We will want to review the easements,” Attorney Jason A. Ulrich, partner, Gross McGinley Attorneys At Law, LLP, Salisbury Township solicitor, said.

The maximum impervious coverage would be 60% of the property.

Adding one or two fire hydrants for the project is under consideration.

Since the development is under one acre, a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Permit is not required.

Stan Wojcienchowski, department head, Municipal Engineering Services, Barry Isett & Associates, consulting engineers for Salisbury Township, said he would research the Pennsylvania Natural Diversity Inventory for the site.

The John K. Schaedel & Sons garden center, which is believed to have closed in 1995, was located on the property, but the address was listed as 1410 S. Gilmore St.

A previous development to build seven homes (five single homes and one twin home) by Rudy Amelio of JR Hamilton Properties LLC was tabled by township planners at the Nov. 13, 2018 meeting.

At that meeting, Robert Piligian, president, Bascom and Sieger, Inc., said because a greenhouse had been on the property, geological testing was done at the site for pesticides and none were found.

Also, during the approximate one-hour April 24 meeting, planners voted unanimously 7-0 to approve a land development project submitted by Williams, which proposes to maintain two prior nonapproved building additions, with a usage as an accessory apartment subject to zoning conditions and all supporting site improvements on a property at 2844 S. Pike Ave.

The property, in the C2, Neighborhood Commercial zoning district, is headquarters for Cityline Construction, which is owned and operated by Williams.

“Upon review, there’s no legal issue with the plan,” Ulrich said of the building additions.

The May meeting schedule in the municipal building at 2900 S. Pike Ave., includes: 7 p.m. May 9, board of commissioners; 7 p.m. May 22, planning commission and 7 p.m. May 23, board of commissioners.

The May 8 zoning hearing board meeting is canceled.

The April 24 board of commissioners meeting was canceled.
