It was discussed that it will be a 55+ community with 90 single family homes.  They are doing cul-de-sacs rather than the previous plan which was a loop.  They made this change due to the wetlands.
In their letter dated September 9, 2019.  There would be sidewalks in the community but as listed for SALDO relief request #3 to not provide sidewalks specifically along the existing streets of Blackhorse Hill Road and Moore Road.
#8 the applicant is requesting that the project be submitted and reviewed as a Preliminary/Final Plan.  ARRO does not support this due to the coordination and approval required from PennDOT, PADEP, Chester County Conservation District and CTMA.
 
Mr. Simon entered a motion to Recommend Preliminary Plan Approval to The Board supporting waivers 1, 2, 4,5,6,7 and 9 as presented in the September 11th 2019 letter.    The motion was so moved by Mr. Benko and seconded by Mr. Thomas.  Poll: all ayes Motion, passed.

  • Hills at Thorndale Woods Final LD 2015
 
It was discussed that it will be 87 single homes and 175 townhomes.  There will be multiple access points on Eggleston Blvd.    Because of slopes and topography they are trying to minimize the disturbance.  There are some significant retaining wall at the back of some of the lots so that they’re not grating those areas.  There is one that is in someone’s front yard that they are currently discussing.  They need to leave the wall so they don’t disturb the steep slope areas and the roads.  They’ve purchased sewer capacity on a payment plan and have already made the 1st of 3 payments.  Over the years they’ve done traffic studies and will do another in the next 30 days.  They are looking for Final Plan Approval. 
 
Mr. Simon entered a motion to Recommend Conditional Final Plan Approval based on the August 28th letter from Arro.    The motion was so moved by Mr. Robinson and seconded by Mr. Caporale.  Poll: all ayes Motion, passed.
