Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 43 subject tags
The Board of Supervisors approved a performance security reduction for the Marrone Minor Land Development, lowering the bond from $7,590 to $1,980 after the engineer confirmed landscaping was complete and an erosion and sedimentation problem resolved. They denied a performance security release request for the Crosswinds development, citing mechanics liens on undedicated roads, $31,000 in outstanding review fees, and $4,300 in unpaid winter road maintenance; the solicitor recommended the developer recalculate financial security at 110% of improvement costs. A security reduction for Pittsburgh International Business Park Building 210 was approved, dropping from $526,082.98 to $256,694.53. The board authorized the purchase of two public works trucks from A & H Equipment for $80,033.30 and $113,270.80 under the CoStars program. The fire chief announced he would step down as Emergency Management Coordinator and recommended the township manager as his replacement; the board will vote on the appointment and on reimbursing the fire chief’s expenses for state committee meetings. The Moon Area School District presented a six-point framework to restructure the Thorn Run Interchange LERTA, proposing to settle MTA debt and require public votes on fund diversions; the board agreed to meet with the MTA next. A resident raised stormwater and road condition issues on Moreland Drive; the board directed that the road be swept, placed on a regular sweeping schedule, and considered for paving next year, with a stormwater study before paving. The board discussed the Corsi Management Group minor land development for a nursery at 443 Moon Clinton Road, including a sidewalk requirement and buffer yard deviation, with a public hearing scheduled. The Cimarron PRD Phase 5 final plan and Phase 6 construction agreement were debated; the developer sought security reductions for mobilization, storm sewers, and sidewalks, but the solicitor advised against setting precedent. The board approved the Foxwood Knolls PRD Phase 2 revised final plan, 4-1, with a supervisor dissenting, and discussed modification requests for Phase 1 regarding a deep manhole and roof drain collector lines. The Pittsburgh International Business Park Building 300 final plan and set-aside agreement were placed on the next agenda, with traffic study assumptions still unresolved. The engineer recommended awarding the Moon Park restroom project to Fleeher Contracting for $539,857.09, with the township providing footers and utility connections for an estimated $120,000. The 2014 road program may see a $175,000 increase for FedEx Drive work, offset by delaying Gilshire and Bertley Ridge drives. The board discussed the Moon-Findlay border, the impact fee advisory committee, library expansion, municipal building renovation proposals, and a firefighter health screening program request. The board entered executive session to discuss legal issues including the Speedway development, MTA/school district LERTA termination, Walmart litigation, code enforcement, and personnel matters including police and labor contract negotiations.The Board of Supervisors approved a performance security reduction for the Marrone Minor Land Development, lowering the bond from $7,590 to $1,980 after the engineer confirmed landscaping was complete and an erosion and sedimentation problem resolved.
