The Planning Commission will hear a request for final major subdivision and land development at 7 p.m. at the Middletown Municipal Building. The meeting of the committee that advises the Board of Supervisors is open to the public.
Lennar Corporation, which is based in New Jersey, is presenting plans to construct 111 townhome units on a 15.86 acre property along Woodbourne Road. The site formerly was an orchard and farm that is situated off Woodbourne Road between the I-295 ramps, the railroad line and the Cornerstone office complex.
The 18-building development is proposed to have one entrance and exit along Woodbourne Road, across from Pickering Bend. The site would host a tot lot and two infiltration basins, according to plans.

According to a traffic review by engineer Philip Wursta, who is working with Middletown, a center left turn lane is being proposed for Woodbourne Road.
The development is coming before the planners only weeks after a 600-unit apartment complex plan was made public for the Oxford Valley Mall just off Woodbourne Road.
The orchard property was eyed for a townhome complex in the early 2000s, but those plans fell through at the time, Middletown Director of Zoning and Building Pat Duffy said earlier this year.
