The Moon Township Planning Commission met June 15 and voted unanimously to table a tentative application for the River Ridge development, an 88-unit townhouse plan on 93.5 acres off Staunton Drive, after more than two hours of public comment and board discussion. Residents raised numerous concerns, including landslide risk, a single entrance and exit, traffic safety near a bus stop, the removal of a retention pond and active recreation space from the plan, and the impact of hauling an estimated 77,000 cubic yards of dirt. The developer said he would put all commitments in writing, including a five-year prefunded HOA maintenance account for stormwater basins, landscaping and trees at the entrance, a covenant barring sheds or additions to backyards, and a bond for road repairs. The board asked for a traffic study, an updated sidewalk map with ADA ramps, an aquifer assessment, and clarification on drainage, staging, and fire and police access. A commissioner said the board felt there were “gaps in the information.” The commission also approved the minutes of its April 20 meeting by a 4-0 vote. No sketch plans were presented.
