About this project
The owners plan to split an 11.5-acre property on Mt. Pleasant Road in Lower Merion Township into two lots, with each lot keeping the single-family home already there. The only new work shown is a new on-site septic system for the home on the second lot, and both homes keep their existing driveways off Mt. Pleasant Road. Each lot would keep 60% of its net area as deed-restricted open space.

Issues raised: Sewer pipe to Lot 2 septic area crosses slopes of 25% or greater, Sidewalk waiver requested; deferral standards to be reviewed, Septic drain fields partly on 10-15% slopes, Drain field placement needs DEP and county health review
