Environmental Advisory Committee Meeting

Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 24 subject tags

The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council held its reorganization meeting on January 13, 2021, electing a Chairperson, a Vice Chairperson, a Secretary, a Treasurer, and a Historian. The council will continue meeting the second Wednesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. in Conference Room B of the Municipal Building. Minutes from November 18, 2020, were approved. Two new members were introduced and shared interests in recycling and community involvement. The Planning Director provided updates on several land development plans. The Diamond Ridge Development includes three office buildings totaling about 500 square feet off Market Place Boulevard, with the builder submitting a master plan after addressing traffic and stormwater improvements. The West Hills Commerce Center, on the old West Hills Par 3 golf course site, includes two new buildings of 144,000 and 169,000 square feet; the developer must improve Moon Enlow Road and address stormwater management, and the plan is on the next Planning Commission agenda. A small plan for a Moon Golf maintenance building near hole number 2 off Beaver Grade and Ewing Mills Heights roads was noted. The PNC Bank branch office plan was resubmitted after addressing stormwater concerns, and landscaping is being added on the slope. The council discussed forming a Flaugherty Run Watershed Association to address MS4 program requirements and flooding at Olson Park; the Treasurer moved to research the possibility, and the motion was approved. Earth Day 2021 is set for Sunday, April 25, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. at Moon Park, centered on tree planting and possibly a wildflower meadow. Recycling dates were set: April 3 electronics collection (open to all), June 5 Recycle Day (township residents only), and August 7 and October 2 electronics collections. Glass recycling remains under discussion, with a permanent site possible at the Public Works garage. The council will add recycling dates to its website and Facebook page. Other potential projects include Public Awareness Weekend, Flaugherty Run Watershed work, trunk-or-treat participation, road and park cleanups, and an Adopt-a-Drain program. The next meeting is February 10, 2021.
