Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 29 subject tags
The Moon Township Board of Supervisors approved the revised tentative plan and related modification requests for the Cimarron Planned Residential Development, subject to conditions in the solicitor’s memorandum. They also approved the improvement construction agreement with Foltz Development for Phases 5 and 6 of that development. A simple subdivision plan for the Hoover Plan #2, on the boundary with Coraopolis, was approved subject to conditions. The board approved the final land development plan for Building 210 of the Pittsburgh International Business Park PNRD, with construction expected to start this summer. Two seismic permit requests from Seitel Data Ltd. were approved: one to conduct a seismic survey across township roads in the western area, and another to place geophones on the Whispering Woods Baseball Field. Both approvals are contingent on agreements with the township manager, solicitor, and engineer, and Seitel Data Ltd. must obtain necessary county and state approvals. The board adopted Resolution No. R-14-2013, updating township standard details for design and construction to align with current PennDOT and DEP standards. They authorized the purchase of a new Case 621FXT front-end loader from Groff Tractor & Equipment for up to $127,200, using the state piggyback purchasing program, to replace a 16-year-old loader needing over $15,000 in repairs. Two settlement agreements and mutual releases were approved to resolve litigation with Remington, Vernick & Beach Engineers, one involving the township alone and another also including Maronda Homes. The board approved payment of bills for the period April 3 through May 1, 2013. During public comment, a resident asked about the benefit of the seismic testing; the board explained it relates to state oil and gas law and that the township must balance resident protection with legal requirements. Another resident expressed concern about small business closures; the board acknowledged the issue but noted the tax revenue and high-paying jobs from large corporate buildings.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors approved the revised tentative plan and related modification requests for the Cimarron Planned Residential Development, subject to conditions in the solicitor’s memorandum.
