Commissioners approve Fox Farms public-works agreement for 247-unit Sellersville subdivision
Summary
As the Sanitary Commission, county officials approved a public‑works agreement with Fox Farm LLC to allocate water and sewer for a 247‑unit subdivision in Sellersville (171 single‑family homes, 76 townhouses); commissioners discussed county vs. town sewer capacity distinctions.
At a brief Sanitary Commission session May 12, commissioners voted to execute a public‑works agreement with Fox Farm LLC that formalizes the previously granted allocation of 61,750 gallons for a subdivision in the town identified in the transcript as Sellersville (the project description in the meeting states 171 single‑family homes and 76 townhouses, totaling 247 dwelling units).
Staff noted the Sanitary Commission had authorized the allocation at an April 14 meeting; the PWA under review at the May 12 session sets contract terms for the project's water and sewer allocation. Commissioners asked clarifying questions about county sewer capacity and explained that county sewer capacity is separate from most incorporated towns, which operate their own wastewater treatment plants.
A commissioner moved to execute the PWA; the motion was seconded and approved by the commissioners present. Commissioners also discussed whether portions of new allocations could be used for affordable housing and noted the developer said he was looking into that possibility.
The Sanitary Commission’s approval allows the developer to proceed under the agreed allocation; project approvals at the town and county planning stages remain subject to standard permitting and any additional conditions in the PWA.
