Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 18 subject tags
At its January 20 meeting, the Moon Township Planning Commission first approved the minutes from its December 16, 2015, regular meeting. The commission then reorganized for the year, appointing a temporary chairman to oversee elections. By motion, members elected a permanent chairman, a vice-chairman, and—following the recommendation of the interim township manager and solicitor—appointed an employee as secretary to prepare minutes and attest plats. During public comment on agenda items, an employee of Continental Real Estate presented a sketch plan for a senior living facility that would require a zoning ordinance change. The commission discussed the proposal but took no formal action, treating the presentation as informational. The commission then moved to applications for review. It held a discussion on a major land development plan from Robert Morris University for Ridge Row Student Living. The commission offered feedback and deferred formal consideration to its February meeting pending staff review. In a key action item, the commission voted to recommend approval of a Target Range Text Amendment, which would update the zoning ordinance to regulate shooting ranges. The recommendation followed staff guidance. The commission also reviewed a draft Storm Water Management Ordinance, noting that revisions were required to comply with Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection rules and to incorporate modern infiltration techniques. This item was scheduled for further discussion and a possible vote at a later meeting. Under administrative business and monthly correspondence, the commission reported no items for discussion. The meeting concluded with general public comment and adjournment.At its January 20 meeting, the Moon Township Planning Commission first approved the minutes from its December 16, 2015, regular meeting.
