Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 21 subject tags
The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a special meeting on April 9, 2015, focused primarily on adopting a comprehensive codification of the township’s ordinances. After the solicitor summarized the project and the significant revisions to each chapter, the board held three separate public hearings. No members of the public spoke during the first hearing on the Construction Code, Floodplain, and Official Map regulations, and the board voted unanimously to close it and then approved Ordinance No. 656, adopting the entire codified "Moon Township Code of Ordinances." During the second hearing on the proposed Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance, a resident asked whether private roads would have to meet the same standards as public roads; the solicitor confirmed they would. The board closed that hearing and approved Ordinance No. 657, adopting the new subdivision and land development regulations as Chapter 22. The third hearing addressed the proposed Zoning Ordinance. A resident expressed concern that renaming "gas station" to "fuel sales" was confusing and could allow a situation similar to the Speedway case. The solicitor explained that the change only affected the C-1 District and that fuel sales elsewhere remained a permitted use. The board closed that hearing and approved Ordinance No. 658, adopting the new zoning ordinance as Chapter 27. Following the codification votes, the board approved several additional items. They passed Ordinance No. 659, amending the Township Manager position regulations. They adopted Resolution R-8-2015, authorizing the sale of surplus vehicles and equipment via the Municibid auction site; Resolution R-9-2015, establishing a Taxpayer Bill of Rights; and Resolution R-10-2015, adopting a standard-form development agreement. The board approved a $10,806 contract with Michael Baker Jr., Inc. for an NPDES permit application for Moon Township Park, and a $57,292 purchase of playground equipment for Olson Park, including a slide. They also passed Resolution R-11-2015, authorizing a DCNR grant application for playground redevelopment at Moon Parks. Finally, the board awarded a three-year park security services contract to Capital Asset Protection Inc. for a total of $101,490, and awarded the 2015 Road Improvement Program contract to Youngblood Paving, Inc. for $1,248,302.20, including all base bid and alternates.
