Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 25 subject tags
The Mooncrest Historic Overlay Advisory Committee, also known as the Historical Architectural Review Board, held its reorganization meeting on January 18, 2017. The board unanimously reappointed the Chairperson, though members discussed term limits and a Township staff member agreed to research the issue. A board member was elected Vice Chairperson. The board set its regular meeting dates for the third Wednesday of each month at 5:30 p.m. in Conference Room A, with Conference Room B as an alternate when the Board of Supervisors needs the primary room. Minutes from November 16, 2016 were approved as amended. Under new business, an employee reported on property maintenance outreach to Mooncrest residents and reviewed the Hanson design recommendations, suggesting some items be incorporated into the design guidelines or overlay amendment. He confirmed the Mooncrest Design Guidelines need updating, describing them as wordy and repetitive. A Township staff member and an employee are drafting an overlay amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, expected for board review in February. Members discussed whether the guidelines would still be needed; a Township staff member and a board member agreed they are necessary but should be simplified to three or four pages and referenced in the overlay amendment. A board member asked about infrastructure improvements including signage, sidewalks, stairs and crosswalks, and who owns property along Mooncrest Drive, noting garbage needs cleanup. A Township staff member explained Public Works does not routinely pick up roadside garbage but will collect bagged trash gathered by volunteers. A board member suggested creating a long-range plan with a budget and reported hearing that some Mooncrest units are stealing utilities. A board member invited members to a joint Historical Societies dinner and presented a Beaver County Historical Pamphlet. A Township staff member announced the Board of Supervisors will recognize a board member at its February 1 meeting for his civic engagement. The Chairperson announced MCA-TV’s Public Awareness Weekend on March 24-25, 2017. Under old business, the board set goals for 2016: updating the Design Guidelines with a focus on property maintenance, creating a list of contractors and products for the historic district, and preparing a conservation overlay to replace the current Historic District Ordinance. A board member updated the board on the Comprehensive Plan Committee’s progress. The meeting adjourned at 6:45 p.m. The next meeting is scheduled for February 15, 2017 at 5:30 p.m. in Conference Room A.The Mooncrest Historic Overlay Advisory Committee, also known as the Historical Architectural Review Board, held its reorganization meeting on January 18, 2017.
