Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in North Huntingdon public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
2021 International Property Maintenance Code Adoption
Recommended ordinance updates would cap front-yard fences at 48 inches, allow six-foot fences in side and rear yards, and clarify that accessory structures must sit on the same lot as the main building.
Meeting Decorum and Public Comment Time Limits
The board adopted a new decorum policy that limits individual public comments to three minutes. Commissioners debated whether three minutes is too short for residents unaccustomed to public speaking, but ultimately passed the policy 4-3.
Municipal Land Leasing Policy
North Huntingdon is finally writing official rules for leasing public land after a big Pittsburgh Riverhounds project stalled out. This means future deals on township property will have clear guidelines instead of being made up as they go.
Lake Dredging
Get ready for some heavy machinery at Indian Lake because the township is finally dredging the water. You might notice some temporary disruptions to the view and water access while they clean things up.
