The Township’s Conservation Residential zoning district, created in 2008, covers the majority of the less developed western side. Much of the development in that area since has taken the form of cluster subdivisions, which minimize the footprint of development and permanently preserve environmental features.

Hello. It would be lovely to have a walking / biking trail from Markman Park Road to **** Hill Park. Thanks for all of your efforts.
very good point!
The water run off from these developments needs to be improved. Some of the plans built in the ‘80’s and 90’s have short run offs into dry rock wells. The overflow of water and the saturated ground every time it rains is causing property damage and top soil erosion. Water drainage after the rain needs to be addressed.
There needs to be zoning requirements for morel land per unit…Marshall township has no zoning regulations other than the ridiculous green space rule which actually creates MORE density. Current development is completely lackluster and it is townhomes after townhomes. The board should be taking into account the BEST use of every piece of land development before they approve. Also the township should be gobbling up as much land as they can and use it for parks and trails. The township is beginning to look like cranberry and Monroeville. It’s depressing
Please stop building more and more housing developments and shopping centers. Marshall Twp. is going to end up over crowded and lacking in green space / wildlife just like Cranberry Twp. and Wexford. We moved to Marshall Twp. because of the mix of green space/wildlife. Now that our kids will soon be graduating this year and next we are setting our sites on moving out of here to get away from what will soon result in over crowding and another Cranberry Twp.
Is there a way to view the doc not through Microsoft?
The new comprehensive plan lacks crucial information about the Big Sewickley Creek Watershed, a key issue and essentially the entire western area. The 2006 plan had watershed information necessary to making informed decisions but it was basically all cut out. We need that more than ever since the extreme weather patterns in the last 6 years in the watershed have resulted in severe flooding and high winds knocking over tall trees, exacerbated by clear cutting practices from developments. Steep slopes and water drainage in the watershed create a naturally unstable area that is more vulnerable to extreme natural or manmade changes.
