CASE #741, VIOLET NOLL. - VARIANCE: The Chairman read the zoning notice for the application from Violet Noll, 1339 Dridge Hill Road, Lititz, PA 17543. The applicant is the owner of the property. The applicant is seeking a Variance to the Warwick Township Zoning Ordinance under Section 340-11.F.(2) maximum lot area and 340-11.G minimum lot frontage, pertaining to a subdivision and lot add-on in the Agricultural Zoning District. The applicant is seeking a Variance of Section 340-11.F.(2) to exceed the maximum lot area on lot 1 from 4.06 acres to 5.86 acres and a Variance of Section 340-11.G to allow the remaining lot 2 to be 14.94 acres without street frontage.

Michael Kotay, representing Diehm & Sons, was sworn in. He explained that he is representing the Noll family at this hearing and Mrs. Noll’s daughter, Linda Reed, is present. Kotay explained the project and used the Smart Board as part of his presentation. Lot 1 (the proposed 5.86 acre tract) is where Mrs. Noll and her daughter lives. The additional acreage is being requested to allow for future septic fields, if needed, and follows the existing farm lane. Lot 2 is a 24 acre tract, and 14.94 acres would continue to be owned by the Noll family. This lot does not have street frontage, but would have over 100' along the existing driveway separating Lots 1 and 2. A 9.08 acre portion would be removed from Lot 2 and added to the lands of Raymond Hurst on Brunnerville Road, resulting in a 29.26 acre tract.

The Chairman inquired whether anyone present wishes to comment on the case. No one present indicated their desire to comment on the case.

On a motion by Lefever, seconded by Goldman, the Board voted unanimously to grant the Variances requested under Section 340-11.F.(2) and 340-11.G, based on the testimony provided this evening.
