Planning Commission
Summary
The Halifax Township Planning Commission met on August 2, 2021, for a brief 15-minute session convening at 7:09 PM. Jake Gruver, Dwight Hoffman, and Flo Mallonee (joining by phone) were present, along with Solicitor Bruce Warshawsky and Engineer Cathy Lee; Randy Paul and Chad Lebo were absent. The meeting addressed two land-related matters with no public comments.
- Paul/Bowman subdivision plan accepted by default: Plans submitted by Randy and Candy Paul and Sandra Bowman on June 28 were automatically accepted as of July 28 under procedural timelines. No further action will be taken until comments are received from the Township Engineer.
- Nicholas Decker farm access request (Keiffer Road): Decker requested a farm access road to his parcel, part of the former Harteis Subdivision off Keiffer Road. The Commission directed him to bring the request to the Board of Supervisors the following week, with the condition that the access be used only for farming — any future road or driveway to a garage or dwelling would require separate approval. Decker acknowledged and accepted those conditions.
