The Keeler Road Subdivision would split a roughly 7-acre property at 695 Keeler Road in Towamencin Township into five lots for single-family detached homes. Four lots would face Keeler Road. A fifth "flag lot" would sit farther back and be reached by a narrow strip of land.
The existing house and spring house would stay. The detached garage and two kennel buildings would be torn down. All five lots would connect to public water and sewer.
Township planning commission and board of supervisors agendas and minutes show the plan under review from September 2025 into 2026. The records indicate the plan was first approved years earlier and then revived. No news coverage, organized opposition or builder project page was found. The sources do not say who would build or live in the homes.
What it could mean nearby
- Five homes, four of them on Keeler Road, would add some driveway entrances and daily car trips to that road.
- Public sewer is proposed, and township sewer review comments suggest the lots would connect to the Keeler Road sewer line using individual pumps.
- Removing the kennel buildings and garage would end that use of the property, and the historic house and spring house would remain.
- The few added households would put a small additional load on schools and utilities.
Where it stands
The plan is in township review as a combined preliminary/final subdivision plan. It reached the planning commission in September 2025 and the township supervisors' agenda in May 2026. Final approval and recording of the plan were not confirmed, so the next step is a supervisors' vote, then meeting any conditions before the plan is recorded and building permits are sought.
- May 2026 The supervisors' agenda lists a presentation on the 695 Keeler Road subdivision.
- May 2026 A planning commission record notes sewer and county sign-offs and lists commission action as the next step.
- Jan 2026 A time extension for the preliminary/final plans appears on a township agenda.
- Sep 19, 2025 Latest county planning filing.
- Sep 8, 2025 Planning commission reviews the plan and, per the minutes, recommends approval.
- Aug 11, 2025 Township sewer reviewer's letter asks for plan changes on the sewer connections.
