Granite Run Townhouse plan reviewed by township panel
A preliminary subdivision plan for 193 townhouse units on 35 acres off Baltimore Pike in Middletown is under review by the township planning commission. Media Clinic owns the site, zoned R-4B, with 386 parking spaces and 47 percent common open space. Residents raised concerns about buffer, environmental impact, flood plain, and landscaping. attorney Robert J. Jackson says the plan stays well below density limits and will incorporate prior concerns. The plan includes private interior roads maintained by a homeowners' association, and planners will reexamine before a council recommendation.

Rutledge zoning board confusion prompts scorecard needed
Rutledge residents watched planning commission and borough council clear up procedures while the zoning board faced confusion over member eligibility. Neighbors Weiss and Selletti recused from Zelinskie matters, Dell Orifice and Vent substituted, with McKinney disqualified on a fire company conflict. Zelinskie sought subdivision approval then a variance for a 14 foot rear yard, and for a larger one story house. The fire company sought to raze a ramshackle building for a larger cinder block garage near side yard and footprint. The council named Fred James Insurance as borough carrier and declined to appeal a remand in the DeCaria zoning dispute.
