Board waives public-frontage requirement for 13.29-acre lot on Route 24

The county zoning board approved waiver WAV2025-0007, a request by Brian Hoffman to waive a unified development ordinance provision requiring 60 feet of public road frontage for parcels created by a track survey of 10 acres or more. The approval allows a 13.29-acre parcel to be divided from a 19.42-acre parent parcel at 5713 West Route 24 in Hollis Township and to be served by an existing private drive, McKee Road, under a 50-foot-wide perpetual ingress and egress easement.

Andrew presented the staff report, explaining the waiver sought relief from the ordinance section specified in the agenda packet and that the private drive and existing easement would provide access to the northwest portion of the property. The board moved, seconded and approved the waiver unanimously.

The approval permits the parcel to be created with private access rather than the code-required public-road frontage; the easement will continue to serve future owners. Any future development on the new parcel will remain subject to applicable development standards and permitting.
