Applicant proposing to rezone 2 acres from RH-1 Residential to R-3A Residential to create 2 one acre lots to build a single family home or duplex within the next two years at 5781 Town Hall Drive. Chairman Fetterly opened discussion stating that the Township doesn't have a favorable opinion of duplexes in cases similar to this one. Chairman Fetterly also then suggested that a more appropriate rezone request would be from RH-1 to R-1A for both proposed lots. Chairman Fetterly made a motion to approve the rezone request amended to a conversion from RH-1 to R-1A for both lots. Member Stang seconded motion. Motion carried.

Applicant proposing issuance of a Conditional Use Permit for 2-3 acres of a 32.5 acre farm parcel currently zoned A-1 (Ex) Agriculture to allow construction of a house and shed for a Limited Family Business/Home Occupation site at the south end of Ridge Road Chairman Fetterly began discussion stating that a CUP wouldn't be appropriate in this case due to the applicant not having derived income from agricultural production. Chairman Fetterly also stated that approving such a request would result in fragmentation of valuable farmland. Chairman Fetterly made a motion to deny the motion. Member Havens seconded motion. Motion to deny carried.
