West Deer supervisors deny Traditions of America PRD for 163 homes
Summary
After public opposition, the West Deer Township Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to deny tentative approval for the Traditions of America Pittsburgh National Golf Course Planned Residential Development, which proposed 163 single-family dwellings at Monier Road and Links Way.
The West Deer Township Board of Supervisors on April 15 denied tentative approval for the Traditions of America Pittsburgh National Golf Course Planned Residential Development, a proposal to build 163 single-family homes at Monier Road and Links Way.
Public commenters urged denial prior to the Board vote. Nelson Crooks of Nicklaus Way recommended denying the conditional use application; Neil McFadden of Links Way said he agreed with Crooks’ concerns. Both commenters later expressed satisfaction after the Board’s decision.
Supervisor Jeffrey Fleming moved to deny tentative approval and Supervisor William Payne seconded. The motion to deny, together with the Board’s associated findings of fact and conclusions of law, carried unanimously, 5-0.
The minutes record public concern during the meeting’s public-comment period and the formal denial later on the agenda. The record does not specify the detailed legal or planning reasons contained in the adopted findings of fact; the motion adopted those findings as part of the denial. The Board did not identify a follow-up action such as reopening the application or setting conditions for resubmittal at this meeting.
The denial is the latest step in West Deer’s review process for large residential developments; the Township’s review letters and any transcript of the adopted findings are on file at the Township building. Residents who spoke during public comment will continue to engage with Township staff as needed.
