Planning Commission Meeting

Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 20 subject tags

The Moon Township Planning Commission met on October 15, 2014, with the vice-chairman presiding. Two commissioners were absent. The commission approved the September 17, 2014 minutes by a 3-0 vote.

The commission recommended approval of a conditional use application from DiCicco Development for Calgon Carbon to add an 860-square-foot laboratory at 3000 GSK Drive. The addition represents a half-percent increase in floor area, will remove three parking spaces but still meet requirements, and will include a green roof. Exhaust will be controlled by HEPA and seven-stage activated carbon filters. The motion passed 3-0, subject to conditions in the staff review letter dated October 13, 2014. The commission also approved the related Scott Station Metro Office Park Lots 2&3 PNRD Revised Final Land Development Plan, also 3-0.

The commission recommended approval of Patrick’s Pub’s conditional use application, which requests deviations from buffer yard and landscaping requirements. The applicant plans to tear down one adjacent house for parking and install a privacy fence. The commission’s 3-0 vote is subject to conditions in the staff review letter and requires the landscape plan to remain as submitted.

The commission tabled Foxwood Knolls PRD Phase I Revised Final Plan, submitted by Maronda Homes, due to unresolved issues with sewer and manhole miscalculations affecting five occupied houses. The developer will reconstruct pipes and a manhole for road stormwater, but the commission cited outstanding issues including road dedication, a stormwater agreement, maintenance inspections, HOA responsibilities, and homeowner notification. The vote was 3-0 to table.

The commission deferred approval of annual reports for 2011-2013 to the next meeting. The solicitor reported progress on the codification project, noting maps of road expansions, parks, and development areas will be included. An employee of EPD Consultants presented draft goals and objectives for the Comprehensive Plan update, including encouraging high-quality development, promoting multi-modal connectivity, and developing community identity. The commission will review and comment. The end-of-year meeting schedule will be set by email. The meeting adjourned at 8:00 p.m.
