Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 35 subject tags
The Moon Township Board of Supervisors approved Ordinance No. 678, a comprehensive rewrite of the township’s Stormwater Management Ordinance, to comply with the Allegheny County Stormwater Management Plan, NPDES and MS4 regulations. The board also passed Resolution No. R-21-2018, adopting a standard-form Stormwater Operations and Maintenance Agreement. Both votes were unanimous among the four members present, with a board member absent. The board then received updates on several rezoning and land development items. The Planning Commission recommended approval for a rezoning and text amendment to allow life care facilities in the Marketplace Boulevard TND, a rezoning of a trailer park from R-1 to C-1 for townhomes, and a rezoning of 1795 Brodhead Road from M-1 to R-4 for townhomes; public hearings for all three will be advertised for the December meeting. An ordinance to regulate keeping chickens and bees was tabled by the Planning Commission until December. The board also discussed a zoning amendment to create a historic overlay for the Mooncrest Historic District, which would allow administrative review for items like in-kind door and window replacements. The Planning Commission recommended approval and suggested no fee for window and door permits. The major land development plan for the Village at Marketplace was tabled at the applicant’s request. The minor land development plan for Zips Car Wash was recommended for approval by the Planning Commission and will go before the board in December. A resolution for the Crosswind Plan No. 2 road dedication was prepared for the December meeting. In the engineer’s report, the engineer noted that 2018 road improvements were complete except for Grant Drive, and that repairing two catch basins would cost about $16,000. The board also discussed a resident complaint about potholes on North Jamestown Road. The finance director confirmed payment of a $20,000 challenge grant to the Moon Township Public Library. The parks and recreation director reported on playground construction, the upcoming Light Up Night and Brunch with Santa, and requested to expand the Parks and Recreation Board from five to seven members. The board agreed to let the township manager participate in the Airport Authority’s Terminal Modernization Program Advisory Board, despite a non-disclosure agreement. The board also decided to return an Active Allegheny Grant for the Ohio River Trail after the trail council refused to sign the contribution agreement. Following a brief executive session on personnel, the board reconvened and approved a waiver of a conflict of interest to allow a law firm to represent the township in pending litigation.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors approved Ordinance No. 678, a comprehensive rewrite of the township’s Stormwater Management Ordinance, to comply with the Allegheny County Stormwater Management Plan, NPDES and MS4 regulations.
