9 issues in development
Kenwood Estates residential lot creation
The Kenwood Estates plan would combine four existing parcels into two residential lots. Neighbors may be interested in how lot configurations and density in the area change.
Cellular Tower Ground Lease at Colonial Manor Road
Kendall Communications wants to build a cell tower on township property at 1221 Colonial Manor Road. Staff recommends rejecting the developer's 99-year easement offer in favor of a stricter 10-year lease with higher monthly rent and built-in annual increases.
Willow Glenn Boundary Line Revision
Two existing lots in the Willow Glenn plan could be reconfigured through a boundary line revision. Lot line changes like this set the stage for what can eventually be built on each parcel.
Westmoreland County Housing Authority Senior Housing Project
The housing authority is building 20 affordable senior rental homes on Banker Street. The board approved necessary layout and size variances because the property has difficult terrain, a creek, and sewer easements.
Watters Subdivision Lot Line Revision
The planning commission took up a proposal for a subdivision and lot line revision between two existing parcels.
Kalina Estate Plan Subdivision (S-07-2026)
A proposed subdivision along Cherry Lane and Shraders Lane was scheduled for discussion. New lots could bring additional homes and traffic to that area.
Kalina Estate lot line revision on Cherry Lane and Shraders Lane
Two existing parcels totaling about 0.80 acres would be reconfigured into two lots — 0.52 and 0.28 acres — with no new buildings or roads planned. The Planning Commission has recommended approval; the Board of Commissioners makes the final call.
Commercial building plan review gap
The township hasn't had a commercial plan reviewer since last year. A third-party reviewer would be used as needed, billed to applicants, until in-house staff get certified in about 90 days.
Trail Development
North Huntingdon and Irwin are planning a brand new Trolley Line Trail to make walking and biking between the two areas a breeze. Local leaders just need to give it the final green light to get things rolling.
