Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 22 subject tags
The Board of Supervisors approved Ordinance No. 674, amending the zoning code to define and clarify mixed-use buildings and developments within the Marketplace Boulevard Traditional Neighborhood Development District, following a continued public hearing that included testimony from a developer, who requested a reduction in the required 25% mixed-use component to 10% based on market conditions. The board also approved a conditional use application from MDM LLC on behalf of McDonald’s for a sidewalk waiver at 2805 Gracy Center Way, allowing a fee-in-lieu of sidewalk construction subject to the terms in the planning director’s memorandum, with the fee amount to be reviewed by the township engineer. Ordinance No. 675 was adopted, reducing the amusement admissions tax rate from 10% to 5%, a move a supervisor explained as preferring “5% of something is better than 10% of nothing.” The board approved a minor land development plan for a Peoples Natural Gas valve pad, subject to conditions in the planning director’s memorandum. Resolution R-17-2018 authorized the township manager to execute a grant agreement for the West Hills DUI Sobriety Checkpoint Program, and Resolution R-18-2018 approved a contribution and maintenance agreement with PennDOT for the Stoops Ferry Road and Flaugherty Run Road project. The board approved five separate road development agreements with property owners—KCP RE, LLC, Grant Brodhead Associates, Inc., Robert Morris University, MD Grant, LLC, and three residents—related to the conversion of Grant Drive from a private to a public road, with property owners contributing $108,000 and the township $72,000 for Phase 1. Bills were paid in two motions: all bills except the attorney's were approved, with a supervisor abstaining due to a conflict with Aqua Fresh, Inc.; the attorney's bill was approved 3-2 after debate over the quality of the work product. Public comment included a request for speed bumps on Rosemont and Convair Drive, which the police chief addressed by recommending traffic enforcement and a resident petition process.The Board of Supervisors approved Ordinance No. 674, amending the zoning code to define and clarify mixed-use buildings and developments within the Marketplace Boulevard Traditional Neighborhood Development District, following a continued public hearing that included testimony from a developer, who requested a reduction in the required 25% mixed-use component to 10% based on market conditions.
