Development News from the latest meeting
Board of Supervisors - Monday, July 13, 2026
Published: Jul 13, 2026
Historic Resources Review Authorized for Freight Station and Other Properties
The board considered authorizing several properties for class 2 historic resources review by the county and township planning commissions. The properties include the 1895 freight station (located at the Drexal Lodge park, though originally moved from another location), 4140 Westchester Pike, and 3400 Horton Road. Mr. Nice clarified that for the freight station, the review pertains to the structure itself, not the land it occupies, and noted its historical relocation within the township. The board voted to approve this authorization [cite: 421-458].
Demolition Agreement for New Town Square East Approved
The board approved an agreement for the demolition of structures at New Town Square East, located at the northwest corner of Route 3 and Route 252. The agreement addresses two buildings: one occupied by MVP Plumbing and an old surveyor's office, both in a dangerous condition. The owner agreed to improve the demolition sites with landscaping and ground cover, and in return, the township will not penalize them for removing existing impervious coverage when they redevelop. The agreement includes a five-year window for redevelopment or sale, with potential extensions. The board also heard from Supervisor Russo, who noted the long-standing resident concerns about this intersection and the positive step of demolition, while emphasizing the need for timely redevelopment to avoid new eyesores [cite: 459-533].
Lot Subdivision Approved for 2224 Boot Road
The board considered and approved the lot subdivision application for 2224 Boot Road, with applicant Rockhill Real Estate 22 LLC. The property is located on the west side of Boot Road near its intersection with Westchester Pike. The subdivision was conditionally approved, subject to several conditions: providing new legal descriptions and deeds for both parcels reflecting easements, coordinating with the post office and township for accurate addresses (plan shows 24 and 26 Boot Road, while application references 22 and 24), compliance with engineer and planning commission recommendations, obtaining all necessary permits before construction, and payment of all outstanding fees, including a fee in lieu of recreational land. Several waivers were also granted, including for a combined preliminary and final plan, omitting features within 300 ft of the subdivision (as no development is proposed), and omitting a steep slope conservation plan (also due to no proposed development) [cite: 534-937].
Sewage Facilities Planning Module Revision for Four Seasons Approved
The board considered approving the sewage facilities planning module revision Act 537 for the village of Four Seasons. This revision is necessary because the subdivision is asking for the sewage flow to go in a different direction, specifically into Marple before going to C CDCA, rather than directly through the township pipes. The revision is a formality as the township had already approved it in the land development phase. The board also considered approving Resolution 2026-27, which is a revision for the sewage facility plan Act 537 for the new land development Four Seasonsville Road Phase New Town. This resolution was adopted on July 13, 2026, and pertains to a plan revision submitted by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection [cite: 364-391, 398-411].
Township to Apply for Liquid Fuel Tax Funds for Pavement Marking Project
The board considered and approved Resolution 2026-26, authorizing an application to the Delaware County Council for an allocation of county liquid fuel tax funds in 2026. The requested amount is $13,331, which will be used towards the New Township 2026 pavement marking project. This project involves restriping bike lanes along Campus Boulevard and Stony Brook Boulevard, and at the intersection with Bishop Hollow. The resolution certifies that materials and work will conform to PennDOT specifications and be done within legal right-of-way or with owner permission [cite: 941-1001].
