The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on May 27, covering a range of development, financial, and administrative items. The Board unanimously approved a performance security reduction for the Pittsburgh International Business Park Building 300, lowering the amount from $1,531,603.95 to $976,717.07, an aggregate reduction of $554,886.88, as recommended by the consulting engineer. They also authorized Synergy Hospitality Moon, LLC to file a Highway Occupancy Permit application with PennDOT as co-applicant for stormwater improvements related to the proposed Hilton Garden Inn on University Boulevard. The Board reached consensus on several other items. They agreed to grant a $3,000 funding request from Ride ACTA for the shuttle service’s new funding year beginning July 1. For the fencing program, they awarded the base bid of $22,640 to Allegheny County Fence, plus Alternate No. 1 for the DeVenzio Field fence at $27,040, but declined the sliding electric gate alternate. They also directed staff to replace a retaining wall. A stop sign will be placed at Jordon Court and Duckhorn Drive per a resident request. A financial statement review was scheduled for July 22 at 6:00 p.m. In reports, the Township Engineer noted the Moon Park restroom project is on schedule for a July 4 opening, with Pay Application #6 for $134,847 upcoming. The 2015 road program is moving forward with paving planned for June. The Board discussed the MS4 program, noting DEP expectations are higher than current documentation. Robert Morris University provided updates on Yorktown Hall, requesting another one-year extension on conditional use conditions, and on the University Boulevard-Campus Drive intersection project, which faces delays due to a proposed event center. Public comment included a resident’s concerns about a solar panel system on Beaver Grade Road, with the Solicitor noting the Township must clarify which ordinance applies to the permit.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on May 27, covering a range of development, financial, and administrative items.
