Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 30 subject tags
The Mooncrest Historic Overlay Advisory Committee—also acting as the Historical Architectural Review Board—met on April 9, 2014, with four members present and one member absent. The board approved the minutes from the March 12 meeting without debate. Under new business, an employee reported that the Mooncrest Advisory Board, chaired by Robert Morris University’s Director of Student Civic Engagement, has hired the Bayer Center for Nonprofit Management to prepare a strategic plan for the Mooncrest Community Center. The plan, expected by June, will focus on a more comprehensive approach to community needs. The employee said she asked the Advisory Board about adding a resident to the board, as a board member had previously requested, and was told the board will hold an open house for neighborhood input. A guest gave an update on the Old Moon Township Historical Society, noting a Korean War Bride presentation, a farm tour on April 26, a cemetery tour on May 12, and a June meeting with the Robinson Historical Society focused on Sharon Church history. In old business, the employee reported that a resident of 960 Thorn Run wants to join HARB meetings. A board member invited members to a Berkshire Hathaway Real Estate rebranding celebration. He displayed the Mooncrest History Booklet cover and said a school workbook is the project’s final part. Members reviewed the Preservation Plan’s action items, adopted by the Board on March 5; the employee suggested a 10-year timeline with annual reports. A board member worried the plan distracted from Mooncrest and design guideline updates, which another board member said are delayed due to the employee’s grant application. A resident raised the vacant Mooncrest lot where a fire destroyed a structure and suggested asking the owners to donate it for a parking lot with landscaping and lighting. The board also discussed auctioning the dollhouse from the Jockers repository and the employee noted the Boggs School project is still pending. The meeting adjourned at 7:00 p.m. The next meeting is set for May 14 at the Municipal Building.The Mooncrest Historic Overlay Advisory Committee—also acting as the Historical Architectural Review Board—met on April 9, 2014, with four members present and one member absent.
