Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 36 subject tags
The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on June 29, 2016, beginning at 6:02 p.m. During public comment, a resident complained about stormwater flooding on his driveway after the June 16 storm and threatened legal action if the township did not help. The township engineer said they would investigate rerouting the water. The board heard a presentation from the Moon Transportation Authority on expanding the LERTA tax abatement district to include additional vacant land along Ewing Road, Portvue Drive, and Stevenson Mill Road, which would fund intersection improvements and a road extension. The board expressed support and directed staff to move forward with a planning commission recommendation and a public hearing in August. The board approved three performance security reductions: two for Pittsburgh International Business Park Building 400, reducing security from $1,841,440.70 to $1,288,278.75, and one for Scott Station Metro Office Park, reducing security from $7,400 to zero. The board also approved terminating Heart and Lung Act benefits for a police officer effective June 29. The planning director reported that the planning commission recommended approval of an Applebee’s restaurant to be built next to Eat n’ Park and the Hilton Garden Inn, and that the plan would come before the board on July 6. He also noted that Robert Morris University requested more time to coordinate a student drop-off location with Walmart as part of an amended conditional use for Yorktown Hall, with a public hearing scheduled for July 6. Other upcoming items included a lot consolidation on Beitsinger Road, a subdivision adjustment in Wiltshire Estates, and two zoning variance applications. The township engineer reported that the 2016 road paving program was about halfway done, with additional work on Boggs School Road estimated at $173,000 for the western portion, while the eastern portion requiring soil nailing would be deferred to 2017. He also outlined stormwater improvements planned for Sandhurst Drive and other areas, and requested board approval to submit a permit application for three pedestrian bridges over Meeks Run, with the township paying a $200 filing fee. The board also discussed accepting a $15,000 CDBG grant for ADA-compliant doors at the Senior Center and Municipal Building. The parks and recreation director reported on upcoming summer events, including the July 4 celebration and a 5K run, and recommended contracting Rightline Electrical Services for $5,700 to install electrical at the new Moon Pavilion. The township manager noted that bids for MCA-TV cameras were received and would be on the July 6 agenda, and the communications director presented four potential township slogans for board consideration. The meeting adjourned at 9:10 p.m. after an executive session.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on June 29, 2016, beginning at 6:02 p.m. During public comment, a resident complained about stormwater flooding on his driveway after the June 16 storm and threatened legal action if the township did not help.
