The developer hopes to begin grading the land as soon as possible.
Upper St. Clair commissioners gave final approval for a cul-de-sac neighborhood off Morrow Road between Engelwood and Hidden Timber drives.

A series of underground detention tanks and a new inlet along Morrow Road will be installed for stormwater management. A homeowners association will maintain the systems. The developer, Dr. Andrew Zahalsky of Peters Township, will put 50 percent of the stormwater management construction costs in an escrow for maintenance.
