A development of 49 small houses restricted to residents 55 and older is scheduled to go before the Voorhees zoning board on Thursday evening.

The two-bedroom houses would go on 13.75 acres of wooded land off Route 73 northbound and below Signal Hill Drive and sell for about $600,000, according to the plans by developer Tudor Development LLC of Moorestown.

Driveways to the "Legacy at Whispering Pines" development would connect to Route 73 and Terrace Boulevard, according to the zoning application.

The Zoning Board of Adjustment meeting is scheduled for an open caucus at 6:45 p.m. in the Voorhees Town Center on Thursday followed by a 7 p.m. meeting. The agenda is here.

Tudor Development's application notes the land at 116 Route 73 north is zoned for Major Business and the proposed age-restricted dwelling use it not permitted. A use variance and subdivision approval is sought from the zoning board.

An estimated 77 adults would live in the development, the application documents state. "Given the age restriction the residents of the development would not include any school-aged children," the documents state.

The development would add to local property taxes, the documents state: $231,419 for the municipal tax, $152,854 for the regional school tax and $354,783 for Voorhees schools.
