Board hears waiver, buffer and environmental conditions tied to Maple Ridge plan
Summary
Supervisors reviewed a set of conditions for the Maple Ridge illustrative plan including a waiver from Cecil Township code (§2-10-17), a 50-foot natural buffer on the Cool Valley side, limits on wetland work under DEP Chapter 105, and construction-hour and dust-control requirements.
The board considered several conditions tied to the Maple Ridge illustrative site plan, including a formal waiver process and environmental safeguards. Chair (S1) read Condition 5: "Access road to residential land use will require waivers from section 2 10 dash 17 of Cecil Township code of ordinances," and said the final determination on any waiver would be made when the developer files a land-development application.
The chair also read that construction activities on parcels surrounding Maple Ridge "shall abide by township regulations regarding hours of work and a water truck to control dust shall be available at all times," and that a 50-foot natural buffer on the Cool Valley side "shall remain in its natural condition." The hearing record notes that streams and wetlands "shall be maintained and or modified only at permitted under DEP chapter 105 regulations." These conditions frame environmental and nuisance controls that will be enforced or reviewed in later application phases.
Board members and staff emphasized that the map presented is an illustrative site plan and that detailed engineering, buffer delineations, and wetland permitting will be part of subsequent application steps. The board did not take a final vote at the hearing; any waiver decisions and permitting determinations will occur during the formal land-development review process.
