Bentley Homes - Saybrook - Residential - Single Family

The Saybrook project was very unique because it involved the development of a well known parcel where the horses from the Devon Horse show were kept during the show.  Adjoining neighbors were very active during the approval process, and D.L. Howell worked closely with both Bentley Homes and the Municipality to achieve a plan that was sensitive to the natural features of the site while also achieving the desired yield of new lots. D.L. Howell developed dozens of layouts and grading schemes for an area immediately adjacent to the existing stream before selecting the one that minimized grading along the stream bank and maximized the number of existing trees that were preserved.  The project today is one of the most beautiful communities in Chester County.
