Fox Lane Homes presented an updated plan for age-restricted housing on 53 acres bordering Shady Brook Farm in Middletown Township. The new plan calls for 150 carriage homes for residents 55 and older, which is down from the 161 units proposed in February. Joe Morrissey, founder of Fox Lane Homes, said the changes came after discussions with the township and nearby residents. The property is currently zoned R1, which allows for two dwellings per acre, and the Farm’s Edge project would require a zoning change from R1 to AQC (Age-Qualified Community) to proceed. Several supervisors were still concerned with the density of the project, and Morrisey countered by highlighting the financial benefits of an age-restricted community that will not add children into the school system and would generate more tax revenue than 32 single-family homes that are allowed by current zoning. The Farm’s Edge proposal is expected to return before the supervisors at their Monday, June 9, meeting for a full presentation and possible action.
