Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 15 subject tags
The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a continued public hearing on October 22, 2024, for the conditional use application filed by Revival Today, Inc. for a place of worship at 1442 Coraopolis Heights Road. The chairman called the meeting to order at 6:01 p.m. with all five supervisors present. The solicitor identified additional parties. An attorney entered party status for adjacent property owners in opposition to the application. The solicitor entered three new exhibits: a letter from the applicant’s attorney requesting continuance, a letter from a resident opposing the continuance, and an email from an attorney joining the resident’s position that a bond should be posted if continuance is granted. The applicant’s attorney requested a continuance, stating they recently hired Langan Engineering for additional work and a traffic study, and the Planning Commission had tabled the application. A resident objected, noting the property has been used in violation of zoning ordinances since May and requesting the hearing proceed. An attorney, representing 13 neighboring families, added that the applicant faces pending citations for zoning, grading, and building code violations and is advertising another event for November 12-15. He argued the delay is deliberate. The Board recessed to executive session from 6:16 to 6:30 p.m. Upon return, the solicitor clarified the conditional use application concerns future use, while ongoing enforcement actions are separate. He asked if the applicant would voluntarily cease operations during the interim; the applicant’s attorney declined. A supervisor directly asked the applicant’s attorney if they would stop; the attorney again refused. The Board voted unanimously to continue the public hearing to December 9, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. at Moon Middle School. The meeting adjourned at 6:37 p.m.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a continued public hearing on October 22, 2024, for the conditional use application filed by Revival Today, Inc. for a place of worship at 1442 Coraopolis Heights Road.
