The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a lengthy workshop meeting on April 24, 2013, beginning with an executive session at 5:30 p.m. to discuss personnel matters. The board approved a modification request from Maronda Homes to use smooth-lined corrugated HDPE pipe for roof drain collectors in Phase 2 of the Foxwood Knolls Planned Residential Development, subject to conditions on pipe size and homeowner maintenance. Two bond reductions were approved for the Pittsburgh International Business Park: Building 100 was reduced from $12,478.36 to $937,815.45, and Building 110 from $66,069.25 to $1,347,732.65, both as recommended by the alternate township engineer. The board heard an update from the Moon Township Public Library Board of Trustees on the proposed library expansion. A working committee will be formed, and the township manager will coordinate with the solicitor and staff. Robert Morris University representatives presented a proposed zoning ordinance amendment to create a mixed-use educational development overlay district, allowing the Holiday Inn property at 8202 University Boulevard to be used as dormitories. The board discussed the amendment in detail and agreed to reschedule the July 3 meeting to July 1 to accommodate the timeline. A request from a resident to waive grading permit fees for 1215 Maple St. Ext. was discussed. The board had previously denied the waiver, and staff reported that no fees had been submitted. a supervisor suggested placing a waiver on the regular meeting agenda, but staff cautioned against setting a precedent. The board also reviewed a request from a resident for revisions to the Cimarron PRD tentative plan, including boundary changes to Phases 5 and 6, and a request to proceed with construction without performance security. In finance, the board reviewed the monthly capital check register and agreed to purchase a front-end loader for Public Works from Groff Tractor & Equipment using liquid fuels funds. The 2011 liquid fuels audit was reviewed, with two findings addressed. The engineer reported on the 2013 road program, noting that a pre-construction meeting with Youngblood Paving is scheduled for May 7. The board authorized the engineer to prepare easement exhibits for the Crosswinds development rather than waiting for the developer. The University Boulevard sidewalk project was tabled. The North Flaugherty Run Road bridge project is progressing, with beams installed and rebar in place. The board approved a Task Force Agreement with the DEA, subject to solicitor approval, following an executive session.
