Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 53 subject tags
The Moon Township Board of Supervisors approved a refund not to exceed $35,000 to Walmart from the Sidewalk Fee In Lieu Account to paint traffic signal poles at four locations along University Boulevard, Brodhead Road, and Beaver Grade Road, with a supervisor voting no. The board then approved reallocating an equal amount from Capital Reserve to replenish the Sidewalk Fee In Lieu Account. They also approved a performance security reduction for Foxwood Knolls, Phase 4, dropping the security from $410,600 to $180,000 as recommended by the township engineer. The board heard a presentation from the new Moon Library Director, who outlined summer reading kickoff on June 11 and the October 15 Moonshine fundraiser. An employee of Hollow Oak Land Trust presented a trail connectivity proposal linking Boggs Run, Olsen Park, RMU, Robin Hill Park, and Moon Park, with a suggestion to adopt the Greenways map; the board invited him to present at the June 1 regular meeting. The Planning Director reported that the Planning Commission recommended approval of a rezoning and text amendment for a 120-unit senior living facility at 1026 Brodhead Road, with a public hearing set for June 1. He also noted the commission recommended approval of a revised tentative plan for Wiltshire Estates PRD, reducing units from 164 to 162 and narrowing sidewalks from 5 to 4 feet. The board discussed a stormwater management plan and a conditional use deviation for bufferyard requirements for Buckeye Terminals, with staff recommending a fee in lieu of landscaping. The Planning Director said staff does not recommend a zoning text amendment for multifamily housing in the Mixed Use District until the Comprehensive Plan Implementation Committee completes its study. The board also discussed a sidewalk modification for Noble Woods, a planning module for sewer connections at 1379 Spring Run Road Ext., and several Zoning Hearing Board applications, including a request to expedite a variance for a family whose home burned down. The Planning Director recommended contracting with General Code for codification services, and the board expressed opposition to allowing target ranges on personal property, with the solicitor to consult the police chief. The engineer reported that the 2016 road improvement program is progressing, with work in Moon Park visible by early June, and that Walmart construction remains on track for a Thanksgiving opening. The Finance Director noted the April financial reports are available for review. The Parks and Recreation Director announced the Robin Hill Park lunchtime concert series, summer camps, and the Family Fun Night series starting June 3. He also recommended purchasing recycled-material tables for the new Moon Pavilion. The township manager reported that the township will participate in a survey on a shared MS4 coordinator and that the branding committee’s survey selected “Make It Moon” as the top slogan. The board previewed the June 1 regular meeting agenda, which includes a pay application for Youngblood Paving. The meeting adjourned at 8:03 p.m. after executive session.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors approved a refund not to exceed $35,000 to Walmart from the Sidewalk Fee In Lieu Account to paint traffic signal poles at four locations along University Boulevard, Brodhead Road, and Beaver Grade Road, with a supervisor voting no.
