The Mooncrest Historic Overlay Advisory Committee, also known as the Historical Architectural Review Board, met on March 7, 2018. The board approved the minutes from its February 7 meeting with a minor amendment. During new business, an employee reported on property maintenance issues, including junk cars, an RV that had not moved in a year, and a tent that had been standing for years. A resident offered to provide addresses of additional junk cars in the neighborhood. The resident also asked about the board’s work on parking layout. An employee explained that parking is being addressed as part of revising the Historic Guidelines, noting that streetscape is a key reason for the historic designation but parking requirements have changed since 1943. The board agreed that two- and three-bedroom units should have two paved spaces and one-bedroom units one paved space, with spaces separated by green space to avoid paving entire front lots. The employee said she would draft the parking language for the Design Details. Under old business, the board decided not to participate in MCA-TV’s Public Awareness Weekend on March 9-10, as all slots were full. An employee provided an update and photos on the Onstott Log Home, believed to be the oldest log cabin in Moon Township, and his report was made part of the minutes. The employee reviewed the board’s goals for the year, including next steps on a recommended zoning amendment and updated design guidelines. A resident asked about abandoning a walk-through right-of-way between two of his buildings, citing undesirable activity. The employee explained that the rights-of-way are part of the original subdivision and the township rarely abandons them, but she would look into the matter. Because the employee will be out of the office in early April, the board agreed to cancel the April 4 meeting if no public requests are received, and to reconvene on May 2. The meeting adjourned at 6:10 p.m.The Mooncrest Historic Overlay Advisory Committee, also known as the Historical Architectural Review Board, met on March 7, 2018.
