The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council met March 8 and approved the minutes from its Feb. 8 meeting. Members reviewed a revised final development plan from Continental Real Estate Co. for a life care facility off Brodhead Road; the revision moves Alzheimer’s patient housing to a separate building from the third floor, and the council found no environmental concerns. The council prepared for Public Awareness Weekend on March 24-25 by reviewing talking points for an interview and adding topics including the upcoming Facebook page, a summary of collected “At Your Door” items, the new promotional magnet, and a reminder that only one television per vehicle is allowed on recycling day. For Earth Day on April 23, with the theme “What a Waterful Life,” members agreed to a “Raindrop Mystery Tour” where children follow a map to water-related stations for stickers, a poster with five to 10 water trivia questions, and a display of a celery or carnation experiment showing water absorption with dye. A council member ordered 220 mixed Lobelia Siphilitica plants from the Audubon Society for a giveaway. For Recycling Day on June 3, a council member received DEP grant registration approval, Global Links will send a truck for medical supply collection, and the revised flyer has been sent for reproduction. A meeting with the new parks director about the Smoke Free Parks initiative was rescheduled to Feb. 16. A council member will send final profile pictures for the council’s web page, using the old logo and theme, with publication expected before upcoming events; that member and another council member will serve as site administrators. A council member agreed to attend a rain barrel demonstration on April 27. That member also reported that the township’s Comprehensive Plan committee is nearing a draft ordinance for the Planning Commission, zoning areas around Marketplace Boulevard for residential, office and commercial use while incorporating historical architecture and restrictions on colors, materials and street lighting.
