Ridge Farm hearing postponed

The South Whitehall planning commission meeting scheduled for July 19 in the Parkland High School auditorium to discuss conditional use review of the portion of Ridge Farm, east of Cedar Crest Boulevard has been postponed.

Gregg Adams, planner from the township Department of Community Development, reports the applicant, Kay Builders, requested to have the meeting postponed.

The section of the development under consideration is comprised of 661 dwelling units in the Traditional Neighborhood Design Residential Cluster Overlay district on approximately 129 acres.

The proposal also includes commercial space, clubhouse, dog park, village plaza, and 16.78 acres of useable open space.

Adams reports the developer has reworked aspects of the plan, particularly the commercial layout at the northeast corner of Walbert Avenue and Cedar Crest Boulevard.

“There are so many moving parts,” Adams said. “The number of units hasn’t changed. The amount of commercial space is the same.

“They’re just moving things around.”

The total 190 acre Ridge Farm proposal includes both the east and west sides of Cedar Crest Boulevard, north of Walbert Avenue to Huckleberry Road.

The entire project consists of 741 dwelling units including singles, twins and apartments.

Adams noted township staff are working with Kay Builders but have not determined a date for the rescheduled meeting.
