A 114-lot single-family housing development planned for nearly 86 acres of farmland along Rochester Road won unanimous approval from Cranberry Township's Planning Advisory Commission at a brief optional meeting on Feb. 2. The Henry Farm project, proposed by Gateway Engineers, would be built in four phases on approximately 85.7 acres bounded by Rochester Road, Powell Road, and Darlington Road in the R-2 residential zoning district. The commission voted 4-0 to recommend the tentative planned residential development to the Board of Supervisors, which scheduled a public hearing on the proposal for Feb. 27. Planning and Development Specialist Anna Richard presented the staff overview. Jonathan Garcziewski of Gateway Engineers and Ryan Lotus, attorney for the applicant, were available for questions. Three residents of nearby Jefferson Lane spoke during the public comment period. Deb Cooper of 218 Jefferson Lane raised concerns about speeding on Rochester Road and asked what type of stormwater management ponds are planned for the site. Chuck Heilman of 209 Jefferson Lane asked about the anticipated price point for the new homes. Don Nelson of 216 Jefferson Lane inquired about planned streetscape enhancements along Rochester Road. The project represents one of the larger residential developments to come before the commission in recent months. At full buildout, 114 single-family homes across four phases would add significant housing stock to the Rochester Road corridor, an area that has seen increasing development pressure as Cranberry Township continues to grow. The planned residential development designation allows for more flexible site planning than conventional subdivisions, potentially including variations in lot sizes, shared open space, and coordinated infrastructure. The R-2 zoning district permits single-family detached dwellings. Commission members Sharon Beck, Jim Feath, John Morgan, and Chair Susan Rusnak were present. Member Todd Bookwalter was excused. Planning Director Ron Henshaw provided updates on Board of Supervisors actions and an upcoming Neighborhood Forum meeting. The Board of Supervisors subsequently opened the public hearing on Feb. 26 during its agenda preparation meeting, voting 5-0 to accept public comment on the application with a recommendation to close the public hearing and take up consideration under Planning and Development Services. The meeting, which had only the single new business item on its agenda and no other public comment, adjourned at 6:39 p.m.
