Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 31 subject tags
The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a meeting on September 2, 2020, acting on several land-use and rezoning matters. The board approved Ordinance No. 693, rezoning the former Elks Lodge property and adjacent MTMA land from M-1 Light Industrial to C-1 Neighborhood Commercial, clearing the way for a proposed 105-townhouse development. A separate rezoning request for properties owned by Pittsburgh Airport, Inc., along University Boulevard, was continued to a future meeting after a resident raised concerns about dumped contaminants on the site. The board closed a public hearing and approved a conditional use application for a bufferyard deviation at the Downes Fire Station, then approved the major land development plan for the station’s improvements, both subject to conditions in the planning director’s memo. The public hearing on the revised Wiltshire Estates Planned Residential Development was continued without a vote. The board also adopted Ordinance No. 695, amending the township’s grading code to add landscaping requirements for engineered slopes. An employee was appointed to the Mooncrest Historic Overlay Advisory Committee for a six-year term. The board authorized the purchase of 120 Mooncrest Drive and approved a resolution accepting an impaired driving grant for the West Hills DUI Sobriety Checkpoint Program. A bond reduction for Valvoline was approved, lowering it from $106,117 to $9,997. In new business, the board voted 4-1 to allow political events in the green space in front of the municipal building, with the township manager’s approval, but not to close the parking lot. Bills were paid from the General Fund ($69,615.32), Capital Reserve Fund ($37,729.47), and Stormwater Fund ($12,447.33). During audience comments, Game Commission representatives outlined the new archery hunt program in Moon Park, and the board directed that Sunday hunting not be permitted.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a meeting on September 2, 2020, acting on several land-use and rezoning matters.
