It appears that Chadds Ford Township will be getting two new Italian restaurants. When they will open is uncertain.
Supervisors on Sept. 4 approved Historical and Architectural Review Board certificates of approval for Felini Café and Antica Restaurant.
The restaurants will be across the street from each other along Route 1 near Creek Road. Antica will move into the former Bistro on the Brandywine across the parking lot from Brandywine Prime. Felini, as previously reported in June, will be in the center across the street in the old Wawa location.
The café was approved for a new ventilation system, but nothing else. Supervisors said there are more approvals needed before it can open.
Antica, which will be a BYOB, was approved for new signage and owners said they hope to open in the second week of October.
Other business
Attorney John Jaros, representing K. Hovnanian Homes, told supervisors that since the proposed overlay is on the Planning Commission’s back burner, his client will be asking that the 20-acre parcel along Brandywine Drive be rezoned from PBC, Planned Business Center to R-M, Residential Multi-family.
He said he understands the need to go through the zoning hearing process and hopes to prove the idea is appropriate.
Supervisors’ Chairman Deborah Love reminded Jaros that the board would still want impact studies on traffic and how the proposed 114-unit townhouse development would affect the school district.
Supervisors George Thorpe and Keith Klaver said they agreed with Love, adding that they would need more information on the specifics of the plan before they could say whether they were comfortable with the proposal. Klaver added that he was disappointed that the Planning Commission was not working on the overlay at this time.
