Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 29 subject tags
The Mooncrest Historic Overlay Advisory Committee, also called the Historical Architectural Review Board, met May 18 and took several actions. Members approved the minutes from April 20. In new business, the board acknowledged receipt of a letter from residents at 290 Oak Drive, who had previously requested the board consider a half-moon window front door; the letter stated the doors will be replaced with compliant ones once the resident returns to work and remodeling resumes. The board also noted the Moon Township Historical Society will host a presentation by an artist and historian on D-Day on June 6. During old business, the board discussed the lack of progress in the Mooncrest neighborhood. Members noted that direct TV dishes should not be permitted on the front of buildings, as stated in the zoning ordinance and historic district regulations. They also urged the township to clean up along Mooncrest Drive, including sweeping sidewalks and picking up garbage, rather than only beautifying the community center. A board member reported on his meeting with the township manager, who offered to prepare an Excel spreadsheet with county information; the board member noted many business-owned units are assessed too low. The board agreed to send a letter to the Board of Supervisors requesting creation of an overlay district so permits can be issued for windows and doors, an additional property maintenance employee for more enforcement, township repair of stairs, installation of historical signage, completion of sidewalks, assistance in developing a list of contractors and suppliers, and help forming a Mooncrest Neighborhood Association. A board member also suggested approaching Home Depot or Lowe’s to keep 20 doors of correct size and style in stock. The board asked that the website be updated to include a board member. The June 15 meeting was canceled; the next regular meeting is July 20.The Mooncrest Historic Overlay Advisory Committee, also called the Historical Architectural Review Board, met May 18 and took several actions.
