Representatives of national home builder Pulte Homes appeared before Skippack Township supervisors to open a discussion on the future development of multiple parcels of land comprising 57 acres at the intersection of Routes 73 and 113. The developer presented a sketch plan and a concept — 349 residential homes of three different varieties, and commercial storefronts along Skippack Pike. The residential housing is proposed to be a mix of condos, carriage homes, and townhomes with garages. Pulte Homes representatives Sam Carlo, vice president of land acquisitions, and John Kennedy, planner for the property, took questions and feedback from the supervisors and the public. The property is currently owned by Medical Components Inc. of Towamencin and, according to Kennedy, is split-zoned with the majority zoned SC-Shopping Center and the rest LI-Limited Industrial. Township solicitor Joe Kuhls reminded everyone in attendance that the presentation was “just a discussion” and that “the township is under no obligation to react in any way, at any period of time” to the plan. Township engineer Tim Woodrow, P.E., encouraged the public and staff to focus not so much on the plan, but instead on how the community envisions the corner being used in the future.
