407 Hallowell Avenue

About this project

A minor subdivision at 407 Hallowell Avenue in Horsham Township would split about 2.21 acres off the roughly 3.19-acre property to create a second lot for one new single-family home. The new home would be reached by a driveway through an access strip from Hallowell Avenue, and the existing house stays on the remaining lot. The county planning commission generally supports the plan but suggests adding sidewalks and keeping the house away from the riparian corridor.

County planning commission: Supports, with comments

Issues raised: no sidewalks along Hallowell Avenue frontage; county encourages providing them, conceptual house porch sits on riparian corridor conservation district boundary, possible grading and access within riparian corridor, county suggests relocating house to reduce riparian disturbance
