A homebuilder proposes to turn 28.92 acres of farmland at 169 School Road in Limerick Township into 13 new single-family homes. The homes would sit along a new internal street called Bellstone Drive. The existing house on the property would stay, so the neighborhood would have 14 homes in total.
The plan also includes walking trails and stormwater basins. These are low areas that collect and slowly release rainwater after storms. The land is now open farmland.
A web search found no news coverage, meeting agendas, or developer project page that clearly refer to this project. This explanation therefore relies on the county planning record alone.
What it could mean nearby
- Access would come from a new internal street, Bellstone Drive, which would connect to School Road. Traffic effects have not been studied in any source found.
- The 13 new homes would add housing, and the existing house would stay.
- Part of the former farmland would become trails and stormwater basins, but the records do not say how much open space would be preserved.
Where it stands
A filing was made with the county on 2026-05-19, which means the plan is under review. Local reviews usually come next, and the township planning commission and then the township supervisors typically weigh in before any approval.
