Two land subdivisions move ahead in Lower Heidelberg

by Steve Reinbrecht

A plan for four new housing lots in Lower Heidelberg moved forward Monday night at the planning commission meeting.

Planners also agreed to recommend a plan to subdivide an 8-acre wooded property at State Hill and Evans Hill roads.

In the first project, the planning committee voted 5-0 to recommend that supervisors give final approval to the Paper Mill Estates project at 3344 Paper Mill Road.

The owner, listed in county records as Sandia Partners LLC & RS Investment Group LLC, wants to subdivide four 1-acre residential lots along a cul-de-sac from about 43 acres. The property and an existing house sold for $1 million in October 2015.

In the other project, the owner, David Seip, wants to divide an 8–acre lot at 3440 State Hill and Evans Hill roads and sell about half to Leonard Liebman, an adjacent landowner. No construction is planned.

Planners decided that a potential driveway for the property, which plans show emerges precisely at the intersection of State Hill and Evans Hill Road, is permitted. They voted 5-0 to recommend that supervisors approve the plan.

The next supervisor’s meeting is Oct. 17.

Monday’s was the first meeting for new planner Dean Hartman. He replaced Seip, who resigned from the planning commission and board of supervisors in September.
