The Moon Township Planning Commission convened August 16 and unanimously approved the June 21 meeting minutes. Commissioners then acted on three development applications. First, they unanimously recommended approval of a minor land development plan for a dentist at 956 Beaver Grade Road. The applicant will repave the lot, add ADA ramps and sidewalks, enhance landscaping, and add street lighting. The plan adds four second-floor exam rooms for a dentist, increasing capacity from two dentists to one full-time and one part-time, with 18 total parking spaces meeting code requirements. Approval was conditioned on the township staff memo and additional August 16 comments. Next, after extensive discussion, the commission voted 4-0 to table the revised Park at Luna Ridge final planned nonresidential development and conditional use application. The applicant proposes 640 apartments in three buildings, about 32,000 square feet of light retail, and a 29,000-square-foot public fitness center on Marketplace Boulevard. They requested 13 modifications, including reducing required parking from 1,662 to 1,373 spaces based on industry standards, permitting a five-story building instead of four, allowing solar arrays closer to the front property line, and reducing landscape screening height. Commissioners tabled the application to allow the applicant to address building architecture comments and provide an updated geotechnical report. The board asked that the next submission include a detailed plan and opportunity to review prior iterations. Finally, the commission unanimously recommended approval of the tentative planned residential development plan for Forest Park, formerly the Rubenstein property. The plan now includes three builders—Maronda, NVR, and DR Horton—constructing 269 total units across three sections: West (101), Center (119), and East (49). Features include 10 stormwater ponds, nature trails, playgrounds, dog parks, a three-acre recreation field, and ranch-style patio homes for empty nesters. The applicant agreed to connect to Becks Run Road. Approval was conditioned on the August 15 staff memo and geotechnical monitoring during construction.
