New Business

• Summit Lake Acres Phase IV Subdivision - Representative from Ceco Associates represented the subdivision plans for Phase IV for the Summit Lake Acres for a four lot subdivision. The owners are requesting a waiver from the ordinance requiring a maximum 12% grade to a 16% grade for 85 feet. Haan stated that the code reads that no roadway over 12% and no driveway over 16%. This road would be dedicated to the Township. If the waiver is not granted then the property owners can go to three lots and a private road. The plans will be accepted tonight, however, the clock does not start running until the fees for the subdivision are received by the Township. Haan also requested that when the final plans are ready that the addresses be listed on the plans. Motion by Stemphoski to accept the preliminary plans, 2nd by Raino. Motion voted, all in favor.
• State Lands - John Seamans and Mr. DeGatta presented sketch plans to the Planning Commission to subdivide the prior State Hospital lands into seven lots. Four sketch plans were presented along with a copy of the deed. Mr. DeGatta stated that there is no where in the deed that states that they cannot subdivide the property. This would be a major subdivision with no new right-of-ways. The owners are requested a detailed review of the sketch plans.
• Selig Subdivision - Subdivision plans were received by the Township in advance to tonight’s meeting. A letter was sent to the Seligs stating that the plans would be presented to the Planning Commission tonight; however, there was no one here to represent the plans and answer the questions of the Planning Commission. Also, the review fees were not paid. Letter will be sent to the Seligs to state that the plans were not accepted tonight and they will need to be at the next meeting with the fees.

Unfinished Business
