Resident requests commission review of townhouse development near Boxwood Road
Summary
Resident Byron Trout asked the Planning Commission for an opinion on redeveloping a 3–3.5 acre parcel near Boxwood Road as townhouses; the commission discussed zoning history, wetland constraints and alternatives including subdivision or cluster development.
Byron Trout, a Red Lion resident, asked the Planning Commission for its opinion on developing a roughly 3–3.5 acre parcel off Boxwood Road as townhouses, saying he would prefer to keep the neighborhood consistent with the surrounding townhouse properties. "He would prefer to keep that type of residence to match the area surrounding," the minutes record.
Commission counsel suggested alternatives and asked staff to research the site's zoning history. "Atty Craley" told the commission cluster development would typically require 10–15 acres and offered subdividing the lot into two or three single-family parcels as a legal option. Trout said he would "accommodate all the necessary constraints for all wetlands," and the commission discussed the need to check when the area was rezoned (possibly 1988) and to locate any prior site plans before making a formal recommendation to borough council.
