Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 28 subject tags
The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on December 18, 2023, where they conducted a public hearing and voted on a conditional use application for 200 Grant Drive. The applicant, represented by a representative and the owner, proposed converting an existing two-story building, formerly a Robert Morris University dormitory and office, into 29 apartments—27 one-bedroom and two two-bedroom units. The property is in a C-1 zoning district, where garden-type apartments are allowed as a conditional use, though the proposed development exceeds the maximum of 10 units per building. The Zoning Hearing Board had previously granted a variance for the project. The plan includes 63 parking spaces, exceeding the 58 required, a sidewalk, an outdoor gathering area, and a screened trash enclosure. The board closed the public hearing and then voted unanimously to approve the conditional use application as recommended by staff. The board also approved a bond reduction for Diamond Ridge Phase 1A, lowering the bond from $3,587,254.00 to $752,210.50, representing 110% of remaining improvements and 10% of completed work, as recommended by the township engineer. They approved a simple subdivision for Village at Marketplace Phase 2A Revision No. 5. The board ratified payment of bills from the General Fund totaling $1,594.95 for December 7–13, 2023. During reports, the finance director noted the approved 2024 budget and that the new senior staff accountant is performing well. The planning director reported that written decisions for the Forest Park Planned Residential Development and the Apex at Diamond Ridge Master Plan and Conditional Use are being drafted for board approval at the January 2, 2024 meeting. The engineer reported that the 2023 roadway program is complete and $40,000 under budget, the Rosemont stormwater contract should wrap up by year-end, and bids for the Glenmore Drive stormwater project and Philomena Drive stream restoration will open January 15, 2024. The township manager addressed a resident complaint about a hazardous steep entrance road in the Tiffany Ridge development and noted that the public works director has been consulted. The manager also reviewed upcoming conferences and vacancies for boards and committees to be addressed at the reorganization meeting.
