1. Solicitor
1.1. Mi Place Request to Amend Final PRD Plan and Decision – For Board consideration, Ms. Camp explained that there was a specific condition of the final PRD decision, #36, which indicated that the final PRD plan depicted two 50 foot wide access and utility easements leading from the parcel in Caln to the parcel owned by the Applicant, which is in East Brandywine Township. At this time the Applicant did not propose any improvements within the access easement,mand they did not propose improvements on the East Brandywine Property. The way the condition was worded is that if, in the future, the Applicant or its successors intend to develop anything on the East Brandywine parcel and connect through the 2 access easements, then they need to get the Board’s approval. Mr. Furlong of Riley Riper & Colagreco explained that he is attending on behalf of the owner of 830 Horseshoe Pike. Arbor Hills Association is proposing to develop a 17-acre tract with 7 single family homes in a cluster development. The plan calls for the preservation of 10.4 acres of open space. In order to reach the property, due to its very minimal frontage on Horseshoe Pike, access has to come through the Mi-Place Development. Mr. Furlong also explained that there are 2 roadways in Caln Township that will have public water within a 50-foot-wide easement and storm sewer area. The 2 dwellings on the east side of the property will be served by a shared 16-foot-wide driveway which is currently on the plan. The road is 18 feet pursuant to one of the Township’s comments they will be widening the road by 22 feet to meet the Township‘s Zoning ordinance standard for minimum cartway width. Commissioner Young asked about the sewer and stormwater. Mr. Furlong explained that they are proposing on-lot sewer because East Brandywine does not have public sewer. The waterlines will be Aqua. The driveway on the east side of the property will send the stormwater northeast to the basin to the east of lot 6. Half of the northern cul-de-sac roadway will be captured by roadway inlets and sent via a storm drain to a stormwater management basin, which will be located south and east of lot 5. About 2,000 square feet of that road will have impervious runoff to a basin.
Mr. Furlong explained that Mi-Place’s declaration contemplated the fact that homes may be built on the East Brandywine site and contained a provision that allowed that declaration of pro rata share for snow plowing and maintenance of private roads and other common facilities. Commissioner Thomas asked if there is a reason why they are not coming off of Heritage Court in East Brandywine Township, which is directly to the northwest. Mr. Furlong replied that they do not have frontage on that road. The 2 single family homes on the cul-de-sac cover the entire roadway. Commissioner Mullin asked about the lot size and about trash removal. Mr. Furlong replied that the lot areas are 30,000 square feet, which is a little less than 1 ace. The trash removal is East Brandywine Township’s responsibility
Resident Mark DeYoung stated that the Board should be asking not to negotiate with Developers. Mr. DeYoung also asked why the Board is talking about easements. Ms. Camp explained that when Mi-Place was approved, they had already reserved these easements. The HOA will maintain both communities’ roads. Commissioner Young stated that the Board will consider Mr. DeYoung’s comments.
