Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 38 subject tags
The Board of Supervisors authorized the township manager and engineer to submit an application to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to register two 4,000-gallon underground fuel storage tanks at the Public Works facility. They also approved a PennDOT request for a waiver of construction hour limitations to allow milling, resurfacing, and drainage repairs on Broadhead Road between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m., starting on or after May 11, 2015, to reduce traffic congestion, provided residents and businesses are notified. During community development discussions, the Board heard that the Foxwood Road sanitary sewer project construction has been delayed until December, and residents will have 18 months from when letters are sent to tap into the line. Regarding the Foxwood Knolls PRD, the Board reached consensus to move forward with Maronda’s request to modify manhole depth requirements, leaving roof collector lines at their current depth, with the Homeowners’ Association assuming maintenance responsibility. The Board also agreed to move forward with stormwater easement agreements for Minton Drive residents in a form acceptable to the manager and solicitor. The Board voted unanimously to pay 100% of the Moon Volunteer Fire Company’s firefighter wellness exams, totaling $6,696, after learning that one firefighter was found to have an aortic aneurysm during screening and was sent directly for surgery. The finance director reported that the Capital Reserve and bond listing includes checks for the restroom and fuel tank projects, plus additional salt invoices. Discussion on the proposed Per Capita Tax Repeal Ordinance revealed that the tax cannot be broken out between renters and property owners, and the Board decided not to move forward with the repeal. The Property Tax Gentrification Program Amendment Ordinance, which would reduce the benefit from 45% to 30% but expand eligibility to widows, widowers over 50, and permanently disabled individuals 18 and older, was advertised for the next meeting. The township manager reported that the Comprehensive Plan will be presented to the Planning Commission in November and the draft should be before the Board in December. The Board also discussed the Impact Fee Advisory Committee’s recommendation to review zoning along Moon-Clinton Road before implementing impact fees. The solicitor noted that codification is on hold until tax issues are resolved, and a consultant agreement with a consultant for tax assessment appeals will be placed on the November 5 agenda.The Board of Supervisors authorized the township manager and engineer to submit an application to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to register two 4,000-gallon underground fuel storage tanks at the Public Works facility.
