Planning Commission Meeting

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

The Moon Township Planning Commission met on November 12, 2014, with the chairman presiding and two members present. The commission approved the October 15, 2014 minutes after a member requested removal of a comment on page 5 that she said did not accurately reflect her thoughts; the motion passed 3-0.

The commission recommended approval of the Foxwood Knolls PRD Phase 1 Revised Final Plan, submitted by Maronda Homes, subject to conditions in the Township Solicitor’s November 12 memorandum, with Condition 7 removed after the Township Engineer determined it was unnecessary. The plan involves revisions to manhole depths required by Township Ordinances. Maronda Homes reported that a camera inspection showed no current problems with the deeper lines, and the homeowners association has a $15,000 capital fund for unanticipated issues, which the engineer deemed sufficient for potential future maintenance. The motion passed 3-0.

The commission authorized transmittal of the 2011, 2012, and 2013 Annual Reports to the Board of Supervisors, contingent on correcting the number of commissioners listed. The motion passed 3-0.

The Township Solicitor updated the commission on the codification project, noting the Board of Supervisors has authorized sending the codification version to the publisher, with a January review meeting and a February publicly advertised meeting before the Planning Commission anticipated. A member asked if changes made in the meantime would require re-advertising; the Township Solicitor confirmed they would.

The commission discussed two planning consultant projects the Board of Supervisors decided to pursue at an October 22 special meeting: reviewing C-1 Neighborhood Commercial zoning district areas to regulate development in sensitive residential areas and encourage development in targeted areas, and reviewing the Moon Clinton Road Corridor zoning regulations to promote development following the International Drive Interchange construction.

Environmental Planning & Design presented the Draft Comprehensive Plan, reviewing its structure, vision statement, goals, and key action items. A member asked about potential conflicts with the Official Map and whether ordinance changes would be needed; Environmental Planning & Design noted the Future Land Use Map is intentionally generalized and that ordinance improvements would follow. The member suggested annual joint meetings among advisory boards and the Board of Supervisors. The commission voted 3-0 to submit the draft to the Board of Supervisors subject to comments received by December 5.

The Miller/Johnson Plan of Lots, a simple lot line adjustment, was noted as requiring no commission action. The meeting adjourned at 7:40 p.m.
