In the borough, it is estimated that roughly 10,000 parcels of land, or 20 percent of the total, may have been illegally subdivided during their history of ownership.
According to Assembly Member Barbara Haney, “It’s called ‘illegal subdivisions’, but they’re not. They were unauthorized. A lot of people kept calling them illegal. They weren’t. People had transferred them legally, lawfully, by deed, to other people. They just hadn’t gone through the borough platting process.”This allowed residents to divide their property without proper documentation.
While the borough has in recent years tried to be lenient toward these property owners, a new amendment to Title 17 in the borough code has cleared up much of the red tape faced by them when trying to develop or alter their property. The amendment, passed unanimously by the borough assembly on October 19, is designed to better allow development in the borough. Haney asked, “Is it a perfect process? No. But it’s a doggone sight better than what we had before.”In a statement, Ward said it goes a long way toward correcting issues facing landowners.
