Board requires buffers, construction-hour limits and DEP permits for Cool Valley project
Summary
Among conditions the board read were a 50-foot natural buffer along Maple Ridge, limits on construction hours with on-site dust control, private internal roads, and a condition that any stream or wetland work comply with DEP Chapter 105.
The board spelled out environmental and construction controls the developer must follow as part of the Cool Valley illustrative site plan. Condition 6 requires construction activities near Maple Ridge to follow township hours-of-work regulations and to have a water truck available to control dust; Condition 7 preserves a 50-foot natural buffer along the Maple Ridge boundary on the Cool Valley side. Condition 8 keeps internal roads private, and Condition 9 requires any maintenance or modification of streams and wetlands to occur only if permitted under DEP Chapter 105.
The board did not vote on these conditions at the continuation hearing; they appear intended as baseline requirements for future land-development approval and permit review. The conditions place environmental and operational constraints on the developer to minimize impacts on the Maple Ridge neighborhood and to ensure compliance with state wetland and stream permitting rules.
