The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
A preliminary subdivision plan has been filed with York County to divide about 29.9 acres in West Manchester Township into 10 lots. Each lot would hold a single-family home, so the project would add 10 new houses.
The average is nearly 3 acres per lot, which is large for a subdivision. That may mean much of the land stays open or is used for yards, stormwater areas or farmland. The records do not say what is on the site now.
Gordon L Brown & Associates is the firm named on the filing. The county's latest filing is dated June 17, 2024. No news coverage, developer project page, meeting minutes or opposition could be clearly tied to this project, so this summary rests on the county records alone.
What it could mean nearby
- Ten new homes would add some traffic to nearby roads. The records do not include a traffic study or the access points.
- Roughly 3 acres per lot suggests a low-density layout, but the records do not say how much open space would be kept.
- Ten homes would add a small number of students to the local school district and a small demand on water, sewer or private wells and septic systems. The records do not say which utilities would serve the site.
Where it stands
The plan is at the preliminary stage, based on the county's June 2024 filing. No approval or denial could be confirmed. Next, the township planning commission and supervisors usually review it, and a final plan follows if the preliminary plan is approved.
