Supervisors conditionally approve increase to 31 units at Miranda Place, require stormwater, sewer and traffic conditions
Summary
The board granted Cherry Hills LP permission to increase Miranda Place from a 24‑unit duplex plan to a 31‑unit townhome development, subject to updated stormwater plans, FTMSA/DEP sanitary tap approvals, traffic‑calming measures recommended by the township engineer, and final plan revisions returned to the Planning Commission.
The Salem Township Board of Supervisors on Oct. 16 approved Cherry Hills LP’s request—successor to Mark Drive LLC—to increase the density of the approved Miranda Place development to 31 townhome units, with conditions.
Township Solicitor Atty. Falatovich reviewed the file and said the original 2021 board approval allowed a 24‑unit duplex‑style condominium development subject to items including stormwater (SWM) approval, NPDES approval and sanitary sewage tap allocations. Cherry Hills asked to increase density to 31 units; the supervisors’ conditional approval requires an updated Stormwater Management Plan (including PCSM, E&S, profiles and an impervious‑area comparison), FTMSA/DEP/Township approval of additional sanitary taps to match 31 units, and compliance with the township engineer’s recommendations, including traffic calming devices on Mark Drive.
Township Engineer Doug Regola recommended that the developer submit all plan updates so the township can determine whether a new hydrologic analysis is required and to locate any proposed stop signs or advance warning signs. The developer must provide a recordable revised plan and any homeowner‑association or deed restrictions needed to implement the approved plan; the Solicitor said once plan notations are prepared, the developer must return to the Planning Commission for final approval.
Resident Connie Mattei asked about procedural filing and fees; the Solicitor said the developer will submit a revised final plan for Planning Commission review. The motion carried unanimously.
