Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 42 subject tags
The Moon Township Board of Supervisors approved a performance security reduction for Sonoma Ridge Estates Phases 1 through 5, dropping the total from $261,690 to $0, contingent on the developer reimbursing all outstanding review fees. The board also adopted the 2015 preliminary budget, which will be on public display for at least 20 days at the municipal building, public safety building, library, and online, with final adoption scheduled for December 17. The assistant manager was appointed as Assistant Secretary of the Township. During public comment, a resident complained about stormwater runoff from the golf course eroding his property, which he said had scuttled a potential sale. The township engineer agreed to inspect the property and report back. In community development matters, the board discussed Foxwood Knolls PRD Phase 1 revised final plan and modification request, which the Planning Commission now recommends approving; the item will appear on the December 3 agenda. The Miller/Johnson Plan of Lots, a simple subdivision resolving a boundary dispute, was also slated for December 3 approval. The township engineer reported that the developer of Noble Woods was permitted to pave a small road section out of sequence to build two speculation buildings over the winter, with Allegheny Conservation District approval in hand. The Comprehensive Plan update from EPD was presented to the Planning Commission on November 12; the board agreed to invite RMU and the Economic Development group to the December 17 presentation. A special planning consultant proposal from a consultant for the C1 District and Moon-Clinton Road Corridor projects was received, but the solicitor noted the flat fee must be amended to include a traffic impact fee review. Under the engineer’s report, a change order for green metal seam roofs on existing restrooms at Moon Park will come before the board on December 3. Pay Application One for the 2014 Road Improvement Program, totaling $1,212,524.39, was also set for December 3 approval. The Montour Run Road/Beaver Grade Road intersection project is complete, though the township engineer will investigate right-turn backup issues. On Grant Drive, Moon Plaza offered to pay for moving utility lines but not for bringing its road portion up to township standards; a meeting with all parties is planned. The board set a pension review meeting with PNC for February 9, 2015, and scheduled a special meeting on January 13, 2015, for presentations from the top three architectural firms for municipal building renovations. A meeting on restoring public transportation to Mooncrest will be held December 8. The solicitor reported that codification revisions are expected by end of December or early January, with public hearings likely in March. Deeds for two lots at the Carnot Fire Station property need board authorization on December 3 to transfer ownership before the January 1 tax exemption deadline. The board then adjourned into executive session to discuss litigation and personnel matters.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors approved a performance security reduction for Sonoma Ridge Estates Phases 1 through 5, dropping the total from $261,690 to $0, contingent on the developer reimbursing all outstanding review fees.
