Board approves two‑year extension for Village of Windsor land‑development, citing easement delays

The Montgomery Township Board of Supervisors on June 8 adopted Resolution 2026‑16 granting a two‑year extension of prior land‑development approvals for the Village of Windsor project, moving the approval expiration to July 25, 2028. Township Manager Carolyn McCreary outlined the project as a mixed senior‑living campus with independent living, assisted living, memory care, two medical office buildings and a restaurant and noted the original approvals required timely extension.

The extension request was presented by Wendy McKenna of Brandon Associates, counsel for the applicant, and Pat Smith of Airport Square Associates, the developer. McKenna said the applicants have obtained preliminary and final land‑development approvals but still need multiple easements. "There are easements, temporary construction easements, traffic signal easements, road widening improvements that are required for the project," she said, adding that negotiations with third‑party owners have delayed construction and that condemnation proceedings may become necessary.

Developer representative Pat Smith said the site has experienced heavy summer vegetation and that the developer would arrange for landscaper cleanup along the roadway frontages. "I've already notified our landscaper. He's going to be out there in the next couple days," Smith said.

The board asked for clarification about what would be condemned; McKenna described the affected parcels as partial takes needed for temporary construction, signal work and road widening and said three properties are impacted. The manager also asked that the applicant ensure the property is maintained for trash removal and overgrown vegetation while the extension is in effect.

After discussion the board moved and seconded the resolution. There was no public comment and the motion carried. The extension memorialized by Resolution 2026‑16 extends the prior resolutions (2022‑32 and 2024‑13) and sets the new expiration date as July 25, 2028.

What happens next: the developer continues easement negotiations with third parties; if those talks fail, the applicant indicated condemnation proceedings may be pursued, a process that can add months to the schedule. The board’s action grants the additional time but includes a staff request that the site be maintained until construction begins.
