Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 51 subject tags
The Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on January 30, 2013, with all members present. During public comment, a representative of Hollow Oak Land Trust requested the donation of a 16-acre township-owned parcel to connect two HOLT conservation areas, linking to Moon Park and the Montour Trail. The Board deferred action, seeking clarification on HOLT’s mission and deed restrictions to ensure public access for passive recreation and hunting. A representative of Stromberg Garrigan & Associates presented the final draft of the Moon Township Riverfront Park Master Plan; the Board approved sending it to the DCNR for review with no changes. Representatives from the Moon Area Softball Association requested fee assistance for a June tournament using three fields; the Board directed them to work with the Parks Department and set a $600 fee. The Board approved several action items: appointing a resident as an alternate on the UCC Board of Appeals for a two-year term; accepting a resident’s resignation from the Environmental Advisory Council; appointing a resident to fill the vacant EAC term; and approving bond reduction requests for Buildings 100 and 110 at Pittsburgh International Business Park. No action was taken on Library Board appointments or Traffic Impact Fee Advisory Committee nominations. Under Planning, the Board approved $5,900 for two optional items in the HARB preservation planning consultant’s scope. The rezoning of 1521 Coraopolis Heights Road was advertised for a February 6 hearing. The Pine Valley development, renamed Noble Woods, was scheduled for Board consideration with a Planning Commission recommendation for approval. A PennDOT meeting was reported as positive, with potential design assistance for the Montour Run/Beaver Grade Road intersection and sidewalk work on University Boulevard. Finance reports covered a state pension audit with minor findings and a draft personnel policy manual slated for adoption. The Board discussed 2013 capital projects, agreeing on five priorities and forming supervisor-staff groups for Moon Park maintenance, restroom, and municipal building improvements. Parks and Recreation reported on July 4th fireworks vendor negotiations and the Ohio River Trail project. The Board reviewed a tax collector resolution for 2014-2017 and approved donating a 1989 fire rescue vehicle to Breezy Point, N.J. The Engineer reported on the 2013 road program, Moon Park electrical improvements, stormwater MS4 compliance, and ongoing right-of-way issues in the Crosswinds development.The Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on January 30, 2013, with all members present.
