The Moon Township Board of Supervisors approved three performance security reductions at its July 29 workshop meeting. The board reduced the security for Wiltshire Estates Phase 1 from $129,200 to $123,400, for Pittsburgh International Business Park Building 300 from $653,140.79 to $584,171.89, and for Building 210 from $20,405 to $5,417.50. The board also agreed to sponsor the Montour Trail Council’s charity bicycle ride on Hassam Road on September 19 by submitting a special event permit to PennDOT, with the condition that the township be listed as an additional insured. An employee updated the board that the Synergy Rodeway Inn project had closed that day and construction would begin soon. The board discussed a July 7 storm that flooded the Thorn Hollow area; the township engineer reported that four retaining walls built too close to the stream contributed to the flooding, and notices of violation had been issued. Two property owners are removing their walls, one could not be reached, and one is appealing. The board heard that CNX Well Pad No. 5 at the airport received a conditional use and land development application, with a public hearing set for August 5. The Planning Commission recommended approval, and the applicant is requesting a waiver from sidewalk requirements with a fee in lieu. The board authorized the assistant township manager to draft a letter for the Airport Authority confirming that the Pittsburgh International Business Park Building 400 plan is consistent with the township’s long-range plan. The township engineer reported that the 2015 road program was underway, with Ewing Road being paved and 19 other roads to be completed by October 30. Moon Park basketball court fencing was installed, and the board discussed a change order for new foul poles at DeVenzio Field. The engineer also noted that PennDOT’s work on Brodhead Road was delayed by weather. The board went into executive session to discuss potential litigation with the Moon Area School District over the Moon Transportation Authority, solicitor transition issues, and Grant Drive. After reconvening, the board authorized the transfer of township files from Babst Calland to Dillon McCandless.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors approved three performance security reductions at its July 29 workshop meeting.
