Adams Twp. development project gets kicked back

ADAMS TWP—The Mandera Subdivision project — nine family homes proposed near the Cranberry municipal line — has been sent back to the planning commission. This happened after environmental concerns were raised by both Adams Township residents and the board of supervisors.

Russel Ford, board of supervisors chairman, said his chief concern was getting all the necessary information before proceeding.

“We’re not folding anyone here, just the process,” Ford said. “The planning commission approved what was in front of them. There’s more information now that the commission didn’t know about (when it approved the project), so we’re sending it back to the commission.”

Preliminary approval of the Mandera Subdivision had been previously tabled at the Oct. 24 meeting. Residents near the site submitted a letter listing concerns about the project’s sewage system, a gravity sewer that flows into a Cranberry Township pumping station. Ford recommended residents, code enforcement, township engineers and Victor Wetzel Associates — the project’s developer — meet before considering the project again.
