The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a special meeting on July 22, 2013, at 7:00 PM, preceded by a 6:00 PM executive session to discuss litigation and obtain solicitor advice. The board continued a public hearing on a conditional use application from Robert Morris University to convert the former Holiday Inn at 8256 University Boulevard into a mixed-use educational development and dormitory. The solicitor detailed proposed conditions for approval; after discussion and a recess, an attorney for Robert Morris University accepted the conditions as stated. Public comment included a resident, who urged approval, noting the university’s economic contributions and diverse student body. A resident asked about a 50-foot buffer between Rosemont Drive and the property; the solicitor confirmed Robert Morris University cannot touch the bufferyard or access Rosemont Drive. The board closed the hearing and voted unanimously to approve the conditional use application subject to the conditions in the solicitor’s July 22, 2013 memorandum. The board then continued a public hearing on a proposed ordinance to amend Chapter 208 of the Moon Township Code, establishing a Mixed-Use Educational Overlay District with related regulations and definitions. No further applicant presentation or public comments were offered. The board closed the hearing and voted unanimously to approve Ordinance No. 648, enacting the overlay district. The meeting adjourned at 9:50 PM.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a special meeting on July 22, 2013, at 7:00 PM, preceded by a 6:00 PM executive session to discuss litigation and obtain solicitor advice.
