830 Horseshoe Pike

The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026

The proposal would divide a 17-acre site in East Brandywine Township into seven lots for single-family homes. Township minutes from a neighboring municipality describe it as a cluster development. That means the homes sit on smaller lots of about 30,000 square feet (just under an acre) so more land can stay open. The plan is reported to preserve about 10.4 acres as open space.

The site has very little frontage on Horseshoe Pike. Access would therefore run through the neighboring Mi-Place community in Caln Township, using easements reserved when that community was approved. Two homes on the east side would share a 16-foot driveway. Each home would have its own on-site septic system because East Brandywine has no public sewer. Aqua would supply water, and stormwater would drain to basins on the site.

What it could mean nearby

• Traffic would reach Horseshoe Pike through the Mi-Place streets in Caln Township, not a new entrance on the pike, so residents of that community would see the added cars.
• Roughly 10.4 of the 17 acres are reported to stay as open space.
• Homes would use private on-lot septic systems and public water, so no new public sewer would be needed.
• Caln Township's homeowners association would maintain the shared roads, according to the minutes.
