Commonwealth Court has upheld a decision by the Luzerne County Court that overturned Dorrance Twp.âs denial of the Preserve at Blue Ridge Trailâs application to build a planned residential community around the existing Blue Ridge Trail golf course.
The order, filed Monday, upheld the Dec. 12, 2019 decision of Senior Judge Kenneth W. Seamans, Susquehanna County, who was specially appointed by the Luzerne County Court.
The Preserve plans to develop approximately 135 acres of its 546-acre property as single-family dwellings on one acre lots. A planned residential development allows a developer to meet overall density and land-use goals without being bound by rigid zoning requirements such as minimum lot size and use categories. It also encourages preservation of more open space than traditional developments.
