Upper Hanover supervisors decline dedication of Morgan Hill Drive; road remains private
Summary
The board unanimously decided not to accept dedication of Morgan Hill Drive after the HOA refused to sign new maintenance agreements; the township will notify the HOA and take no action to accept the road as public.
The Upper Hanover Township Board of Supervisors unanimously decided at its April 15, 2025 work session not to accept the offer of dedication for Morgan Hill Drive, meaning the roadway will remain private.
Board members said the Home Owners Association had refused to execute new agreements to memorialize that the HOA would remain responsible for maintenance. The boardrecord notes that, because the HOA and developer have not kept up maintenance responsibilities, the board will communicate its decision to the HOA and take no further action to accept dedication. The decision was described as unanimous among members present; Member Tim Woodward was absent.
Why it matters: a private designation maintains HOA maintenance obligations and keeps responsibility for repairs and snow removal with private parties rather than the township. The board did not record a formal roll-call vote in the minutes beyond noting unanimity among the members present. Next steps: the township will notify the HOA of the decision and solicitors were asked to prepare correspondence outlining the outcome.
