Mooncrest Historic Overlay Advisory Committee Meeting

Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 16 subject tags

The Mooncrest Historic Architectural Review Board (HARB) convened on November 15, 2017, with four members present and one member absent. The board unanimously approved the minutes from the May 17, 2017 meeting.

During new business, a township staff member reported receiving multiple property maintenance complaints and issuing violation letters. A property owner in attendance raised several concerns, noting a squatter in one unit and asking about acceptable paint colors for previously painted brick buildings; the board determined paint should match the original brick color. The property owner also questioned the stalled sidewalk replacement project and the status of the "Welcome to Historic Mooncrest" sign, offering to solicit donations. He requested additional street lighting, suggesting it be required during building renovations, and proposed a landlord meeting with the Township, inviting only property owners. An employee distributed updated Certified Local Government (CLG) program requirements, noting past grants for the Preservation Plan and Economic/Market Analysis Plan depended on the Township's CLG status. She asked the township staff member to compare the new requirements against the draft Overlay District and revised Guidelines for compliance.

Under old business, the board conducted a page-by-page review of the revised Design Guidelines, with a board member praising the document. The board discussed developing a one-page bullet-point summary of Historic District requirements. The meeting adjourned at 7:05 pm. The next meeting is scheduled for December 20, 2017, at 5:30 pm in Conference Room B of the Municipal Building.
