Reservoir Estates is a proposal to divide a site of about 4.84 acres in Nether Providence Township, Delaware County, into four lots. Each lot would get one detached single-family house, so four new homes in total.
The county record is for a sketch plan. That is an early, informal drawing that lets the township and the county planning staff react before the developer spends money on detailed engineering. Howell Engineering, Inc is the firm named on the filing.
No developer website, news coverage, township meeting record or permit specific to this project was found. The records don't say what is on the land now, who will build the homes, or whether anyone has objected.
What it could mean nearby
- Four new detached houses would add a small number of households, so any added traffic would likely be modest. The records contain no traffic study.
- Splitting 4.84 acres into four lots would change how the land is used. The records don't say how much open space or tree cover would be kept.
- The records don't cover water, sewer or stormwater arrangements. These would be reviewed in later, more detailed plan stages.
Where it stands
As of the latest county filing on 2024-07-18, the project was at the early sketch-plan stage. Next, the developer would normally submit a formal subdivision plan for review by the township planning commission and township supervisors, and for county review. No later filing was found.
