Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 21 subject tags
The Mooncrest Historic Overlay Advisory Committee, formally the Historical Architectural Review Board (HARB), convened on February 17, 2016, with four members present and one member absent. The board acknowledged the absent member’s resignation and expressed support for a member who is seeking the Local Historian position; staff asked the member to submit a resume for the Board of Supervisors’ official approval. Minutes from January 13, 2016, were approved as amended. Under new business, a member presented the Historical Society’s 2016 program schedule and the Historic Sign Project, showcasing a Montour Run sign with historical references for sites including Olsen Park and the Montour Railroad. He also noted that a descendant of the Scott Station family requested use of the Dr. Jockers Memorial Archive room for genealogical research. A member announced MCA-TV’s Public Awareness Weekend on April 1-2, 2016, and members discussed reserving a time slot, possibly replaying a previously recorded session. The bulk of the meeting focused on 2016 goals. Updating the Design Guidelines was the top priority; members discussed concerns including front porch roof designs, excessive asphalt, coal shoots, dryer vents, and doors and storm doors. Members were asked to mark up their copies for next month’s discussion, with a member taking photos of features and another member offering layout assistance, recommending simpler, clearer language. Other goals included encouraging Mooncrest Neighborhood Association redevelopment, with an employee approaching a representative for recommendations, and creating lists of approved contractors and products for residents; a member will gather material information from a contractor renovating a building on Cedar. A member was asked for historic sign ideas. A member questioned the Historic Ordinance copy, noting removed definitions; an employee explained definitions are not repeated if already in the Codification’s front chapter, showing the revised April 2015 Codification with 27 chapters. The meeting adjourned at 7:00 pm; the next meeting is March 16, 2016.The Mooncrest Historic Overlay Advisory Committee, formally the Historical Architectural Review Board (HARB), convened on February 17, 2016, with four members present and one member absent.
