Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 41 subject tags
The Board of Supervisors approved three bond reductions: Wiltshire Estates PRD Phase 2 from $25,804.40 to $22,392.40, Foxwood Knolls Plan 4 from $169,518 to $92,222.50, and Foxwood Knolls Plan 1 from $9,460 to $0 after the engineer revised his recommendation. The board also agreed to sponsor the Operation Family Military Carnival at the Commander level for $1,000. The Community Development Department reported on several upcoming rezoning and ordinance items. Three rezoning requests will go to public hearing in December: adding life care facilities as a permitted use in the Marketplace Boulevard TND, rezoning parcel 699-A-351 from R-1 to C-1 for townhome development, and rezoning 1795 Brodhead Road from M-1 to R-4. A draft ordinance for keeping chickens and apiaries will go to the Planning Commission next month. The Mooncrest Historic Overlay zoning amendment, which would allow administrative approval for minor renovations, is moving to Planning Commission review. A revised Stormwater Management Ordinance, required to comply with the countywide plan, will be on the November 28 workshop agenda. The board discussed a DCNR grant covenant that restricts Moon Park to outdoor recreation and prohibits leasing, with the solicitor researching potential payback penalties if the township later builds a community center there. The engineer reported that the Carnot Fire Station project is complete. The 2018 road improvements will include adding Grant Drive via Change Order No. 1 for $133,119.16. The apparent low bidder for stormwater pond mowing and tree clearing is Custom Contracting at $139,050, pending November approval. The board amended the Foxwood Knolls Plan 1 bond reduction to zero based on a revised engineer letter. The Finance Director reported that checks were issued for two new dump trucks, an LED street light conversion, and the Campus Drive traffic signal, with Robert Morris University contributing $312,000 for that signal. The board discussed a request for crosswalk markings between Grampion and Elgin Circles but staff recommended against it due to safety concerns from the curve location. The Ohio River Trail Council has refused to sign an agreement requiring them to repay grant-related fees, but the board insisted the agreement must be signed.
