Phase I of Meadows of Ashcombe proposes 37 lots for single-family homes in Monroe Township, Cumberland County. It also sets aside 2 lots as open space, meaning land kept free of houses.
The county record says the new roads would be built to township standards and offered to the township to own and maintain. This is called dedication. Instead of building a park or play area, the developer would pay a fee to the township for recreation, which the township can spend on parks elsewhere.
No developer website, news coverage, township agenda or minutes, or state permit could be tied to this project by searching. The details of what is on the site now, the builder, and any opposition or approvals are not known from public web sources.
What it could mean nearby
- Thirty-seven new households would add traffic on the roads that serve the site. No traffic study was found.
- The two open space lots would keep some land undeveloped. The records do not say whether the public can use it.
- Paying a fee in place of recreation land means no new park is planned within the development itself.
- The township would take on upkeep of the new roads if it accepts them.
Where it stands
The latest county filing is dated 2026-10-09, so the plan appears to be under local review. Usually the township planning commission and supervisors review it, and the plan then needs final approval before lots can be sold and homes built.
