Planning Commission will begin the meeting by standing for the Pledge of Allegiance.

We're all the first item on the agenda is the approval of the minutes for the October 6, 2025 meeting.

These minutes were distributed to the commissioners in advance of today's meeting.

Do any of the commissioners have any changes to those minutes?

Okay, seeing none, uh I will uh make a motion to approve those minutes.

Do I have a second?

I'll uh I'll go with uh second by uh Commissioner Kunda.

All in favor.

Aye.

Abstain.

Uh so I think we have uh seven in favor and one abstention by uh Commissioner LaJoda Okay.

The next item on the agenda is consideration of application 216, two or excuse me, 216024 concerning 216 and 220 Radner Chester Road.

This is a minor subdivision lot line change, final subdivision application.

The project is located within the R1 zoning.

Uh one parcel contains 1.11 acres and the other contains 2.66 acres.

The project proposes a lot line change to transfer uh 10,048 square feet uh with associated impervious from 220 Radner Chester to 216 Radner Chester Road.

As part of our consideration, we've received letters from Gannett Fleming dated November 20, 2025, and from Gilmourne Associates dated November 24, 2025.

Notably, the Gannett Fleming letter concludes that the final submission, quote, adequately conforms to the Township of Radner Subdivision Land Development Zoning Municipal Code.

Uh the Gilmore letter states that one late uh waiver is requested, and that is for section 255-22 B1K concerning the requirement to show significant man-made features of the 500 feet.

Here the applicant has instead provided an aerial uh imagery uh beyond the boundaries.

The Gilmore letter concludes that the reference plan includes a property line adjustment and generates no transportation related comments.

So those letters seem to be about as clear as they get.

However, there's one issue that's noted that I noted, which is based on the property deeds that we received, the properties are owned by different persons.

The applicant is Barbara and Dwight Buchler, the owners of 220 Radner Chester Road, which is the property that would make the transfer.

I did not see in the papers that were circulated to the commissioners anything from the owners of 216 Radner Chester Road, such as an agreement of sale or other documentation from those owners uh that would be receiving the property from this land uh lot line change.

Uh based on the deed reviewed, the owners of that property are George and Barbara Rothiker.

Uh after the applicant presents, I would like for our solicitor, if he is here and he is, uh, to comment and opine on that issue.

Is there a representative for the applicant present?

Hello, Patrick Spellman, site engineering concepts.

Uh we represent both applicants.

The uh the owners of 216 are here tonight.

When you say both applicants, who are the applicants?

Uh uh we call them the uh the the two barbs.

So we have um uh trying to remember.

So Barb and George Rathaker are right here.

Okay.

Uh and then Barb and Dewite Buesler, uh, who were supposed to be here uh have not shown up yet.

Okay, but as far as I understand, the app who is the applicant on the papers is submitted.

Right.

So it would be the owners of 220 uh, yeah.

Uh would be the one since they're giving up the property.

Uh we're listed as the applicant.

Okay.

Okay.

Uh so uh the the property is located on Radner Chester Road, uh, in between Route 30 and Conestoga Road.

It uh there is a barn on 220 that has been uh used by the folks at 216 pretty much forever uh for for several decades.

Th this barn right here.

This is the existing property line coming between the two houses and back uh and front of the barn.

Uh the intent here is to, and they have been leasing this barn for several decades.

Um so the intent is to move the property line so it becomes officially part of 216 and the lease agreement would not be needed.

So here is the uh existing property line that would be extinguished.

Uh the property line coming down the side would be extended and then shoot over parallel to the back of the barn to create a uh a piece that would be part of 216.

Uh the property line was chosen excuse me, uh was chosen so that all the zoning parameters would be met, mainly the uh impervious coverage.

So this impervious coverage bringing with two sixteen, and this property meets the requirements.

The setbacks uh of course are are also met.

Um accessory setback.

Uh and lot areas, um one acre is required, both of them uh are are well over that uh before and and after the the transfer.

Um and it's is pretty much uh that simple okay.

Um Mr.

Phillips, just to just to confirm the impervious uh is is in line after this uh lot line.
