Hatfield Walk would put eight townhomes on about 1.5 acres at 23 North Main Street in Hatfield Borough. The homes would sit in two buildings of four units each. The developer would combine two existing properties into one site and tear down a house that faces North Main Street.
The plan also includes parking, a shared community area, new sidewalks and stormwater facilities. These are systems that collect and slow rainwater runoff.
Borough planning commission minutes from September 2024 appear to show the developer presenting the plan. According to a search summary of those minutes, the project had already won relief from the Zoning Hearing Board. The relief came on the condition that the project meet the standards of the borough's R-4 residential zoning district. The same summary says a neighbor raised concerns about traffic. The minutes file could not be opened and read directly. No news coverage, developer project page or approval decision was found.
What it could mean nearby
- Access would be from North Main Street, so more cars would turn on and off that road. A neighbor raised traffic concerns at a 2024 planning meeting.
- Eight new households would be added close to the borough center.
- New sidewalks are part of the plan and could improve walking along the frontage.
- A community area is included, but its size and design were not found.
