Developers propose 165 new homes in Richland

Richland Township supervisors heard a proposal from David Caracausa of Cornerstone Premier Homes and Brian Seidel of Seidel Planning and Design to rezone 80 acres of land to build 165 single-family homes. The developers are asking that the parcel be rezoned from a Residential Agriculture District to a Suburban Residential Medium District, with 14 acres left over for resource protection. Although the township has the area marked for potential development, the density and number of homes in the proposal surprised the supervisors. According to township engineer Mike Schwartz, the current zoning of the property only accommodates 30 homes. If the property were rezoned to a Suburban Residential Low District it could accommodate about 132 single-family homes. Caracausa said that the extra expense of bringing public water and sewer to the development requires a certain level of density to make the project financially viable. The board recommended that the developers consider its feedback, consult with township staff and return with a new proposal.
