Supervisors also unanimously approved an updated stormwater ordinance.

The board unanimously agreed to waive participation in the project, conditional on them being made a third party in the conservation easement, coordination being made with regards to the septic system, and future residents being bound by SLT requirements when modifying their backyards.

There is one septic system line going through South Londonderry Township. The remaining 1.5 acres are the backyards of houses built in Derry Township. Of the 21-acre project, only seven acres fall into South Londonderry Township, with 5.5 of those being dedicated open space.

The 2.9-acre parcel was rezoned from highway commercial to multifamily residential. Supervisors have previously noted that very few other properties zoned multifamily residential are an acre or more, so they feel it is unlikely to affect other properties. The 12 unit-per-acre limitation is similar to nearby residential properties. It was referred to the Lebanon County Planning Commission, which recommended approval, saying that the new unit-per-acre amount meets the county average. It also reduces the required amount of parking spaces from three per unit to two. The amendment increases the maximum units per acre within a multifamily residential zone from four units to 12 units when the property is an acre or more. Several members of the public also spoke out against the proposal, citing possible increased school taxes, reduction in available highway commercial property, and caution against changing original zoning maps as reasons for doing so. The amendment was approved two to one with Jack Custer in opposition.
