The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council met Nov. 20 and approved minutes from its Oct. 9 meeting. Under new business, the council reviewed three land development plans. Rolling Hills developers, denied a zoning variance for an 83-townhouse project, are resubmitting as a planned residential development. Victoria Ridge, formerly Gilmary Ridge, will have 68 single-family homes. The Park at Luna Ridge, near the old Super K Mart, includes 596 apartments, 29,100 square feet of professional office space, a 200-bed life care facility, an athletic field and a pool. The council discussed the Dec. 10 Mingle and Jingle event at Moon Golf Club and set Earth Day for April 19, 2020, at Robin Hill, with a “Peace Love and Pine Cones” theme. In old business, volunteers planted 150 containerized trees behind Devenzio Field, 25 balled-and-burlap trees near the new parking area and barn, and 75 more containerized trees around Moon Park. Members helped Tree Pittsburgh plant 10 large trees around Nelson Pond on Oct. 11. The Nov. 9 glass recycling day with the Pennsylvania Resources Council drew 320 people and collected 7.5 tons of glass, bringing the year’s two-event total to 570 people and 12.9 tons. PRC proposed four 2020 dates, but they conflict with JVS electronics collection; a council member will ask JVS to shift dates and add glass recycling to the June 6 event. Members attended the Three Rivers Wet Weather conference Nov. 13-14. A council member presented a PRC proposal for a $3,000 “hard to recycle” collection event, which would charge customers for certain items and not restrict attendance to Moon residents; the council will make a recommendation in December. A council member also shared a draft stormwater fee ordinance establishing a $5.50 monthly charge to fund the first goal of removing 10% of solid waste from stormwater, estimated at $2.4 million, noting fees rather than taxes avoid burdening residents with non-profit entities that don’t pay taxes. The council discussed improving its website, welcomed a prospective member, and planned to coordinate RMU volunteer involvement.
