Horsham Township Council Meeting 6.24.26
Published: Jun 24, 2026
Zoning Board to Review In-Law Suite, Shed, and Swimming Pool Applications with Impervious Coverage Concerns
The council reviewed three residential zoning applications for July hearings. The first is for a proposed in-law suite on Park Road, requiring variances for rear yard setback and impervious coverage. Staff recommended a neutral stance with the condition that the suite be used only for family. The second application is for a shed on Sun Valley Drive, also facing an impervious coverage issue. Staff recommended neutrality with conditions like planting a tree or shrubs, or adding a rain barrel. The third application is for a swimming pool on Balmora Way, again concerning impervious coverage. The applicant agreed to remove existing patio sections to mitigate this. Staff recommended neutrality with similar conditions regarding landscaping or rain barrels. For the Park Road and Sun Valley Drive applications, staff indicated the homeowners had not previously increased impervious coverage on their properties. The process for documenting impervious coverage limits through building permits was also discussed [cite: 483-692].
Council Authorizes Bids for Demolition and Paving Projects; Previous Paving Bids Invalidated Due to Advertising Error
The council authorized the solicitation of bids for two separate items. The first is for the demolition of structures at 449 Cedar Hill Road (Cedar Hill Road Park), as the existing house is a safety and liability issue and exceeds the $22,000 bid limit. The second authorization is for soliciting bids for contractor milling, paving, and line painting projects. This latter authorization is necessary because previously awarded bids for these paving projects were invalidated due to a legal advertising error where the notice was published one day short of the required ten-day period [cite: 749-815].
Town Place Suites Land Development Waiver Approved for Pool and Patio Replacement
The council considered a resolution for a waiver of land development with conditions for Town Place Suites at 198 Precision Road (Case No. 26-04-W). The project involves removing an existing in-ground swimming pool and concrete patio, replacing them with a PA patio. The resolution was reviewed at the previous meeting and was adopted unanimously following a roll call vote [cite: 453-477].
Upcoming Community Events Announced: Council Meeting, Farmers Market, Holiday Reading, and Concert in the Park
The council announced upcoming community events, including the next Horsham Township Council meeting on Wednesday, July 8th at 6 PM. The Horsham Farmers Market will run every Sunday from June through October, 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The council will also be at the library on Tuesday, June 30th at 7 PM to read the Declaration of Independence. Additionally, the first 'concert in the park' event was reported as successful and well-attended, with thanks extended to township staff. The next concert featuring Retro X Revival is scheduled for Thursday, July 16th at 6:30 PM in Lukens Park, with food trucks and attendees advised to bring their own lunches [cite: 816-852].
Agreement Proposed for Historical Architecture Review Services for Worth Farm Property
The council is considering a proposal from Wolston Home Architects for historical architecture review services for the Worth Farm property at 1336 Limell Pike. Larry Winrop, a historical consultant previously involved in the land development process for Toll Brothers, needs to review the historical preservation construction plan before it goes to the Historical Advisory Commission and subsequently inspect the construction work to ensure it meets preservation requirements. As Winrop has moved to a new firm, Wolston Home Architects, the council needs to approve an agreement with this new firm to retain his expertise. Toll Brothers aims to begin construction in August [cite: 685-738].
