About this project
A 13-unit residential cluster subdivision is proposed at the northeast corner of Township Line Road and Store Road in Lower Salford. The project involves realigning Store Road and adding a paved path. The currently undeveloped property would require an on-site wastewater system and needs a zoning amendment to permit Regional Township Improvement Development in the R-1A district.
County planning commission: Supports, with comments
Issues raised: regional significance of RTI development questionable, road realignment appears local rather than regional in nature, potential impact on other R-1A district properties from amendment, use terminology clarification needed

The full picture AI research
A developer has proposed 13 single-family homes on about 13.5 acres at the northeast corner of Township Line Road and Store Road in Lower Salford. The land is undeveloped today.
The homes would be built as a "cluster" subdivision. Houses are grouped on smaller lots so more of the land can stay open. The plan would realign Store Road and add a paved path. With no public sewer, the homes would use an on-site wastewater system. The site's current R-1A zoning does not allow this type of development, so a zoning amendment is needed first.
The township's development list shows the project under review by the Planning Commission at the early "sketch plan" stage. No news coverage, developer project page, or hearing decision was found.
What it could mean nearby
- Realigning Store Road at the corner could change how drivers reach and cross the intersection. No traffic study was found.
- 13 new households would add some traffic and local demand for services.
- A paved path is proposed, which could improve walking access near the corner.
- Wastewater would be handled on site rather than by connecting to a public sewer.
Where it stands
The project is at the sketch plan stage, an early and non-binding review by the township Planning Commission. Next steps usually include a decision on whether to consider the zoning amendment, then formal subdivision plan submission, public meetings, and a vote by the township supervisors.
