Regular Voting Meeting – Wednesday, June 20, 2018 Council of the Municipality of Murrysville held a Regular Voting Meeting on Wednesday, June 20, 2018, at 7:00 p.m. in the Municipal Building. Present at the meeting were Council members Tony Spadaro, Dayne Dice, Toni Brockway, Josh Lorenz, Loren Kase, and Carl Stepanovich. Also present were Mayor Synan, Chief Administrator James Morrison, Scott Hilty, Amy Wengrzyn, Allen Cohen, Dave Jobe, and Solicitor George Kotjarapoglus. Council member Jamie Lee Korns was absent from the meeting. The Municipality of Murrysville Welcomes Sean Kertes, Westmoreland County Commissioner Charles Anderson’s Chief of Staff, “Re-Imagining Westmoreland County” Mr. Lorenz introduced Mr. Kertes. Mr. Kertes spoke about the Westmoreland County Comprehensive Plan. He stated that Mr. Morrison will be receiving a draft in August of things that Westmoreland County has found that need to be done, updated and improved upon. He explained how the County overall is affected. The population is drastically decreasing in Westmoreland County. As of right now, the largest age group is 50-70, and the second largest is 0-18. The 25-49 year olds are not here. The problem is, jobs are coming open and employers cannot find the individuals to fill them. The goal is to keep individuals here after high school and not leave. He thanked Council for everything they do. The feedback he receives is that the relationship between Murrysville and Export is positive. Also, the quality of life that the Municipality has for its residents is good, as well as the amount of growth. He encouraged building and making businesses stronger here and maintaining a strong relationship with the County. He left his business card and offered his help in the future. Mr. Lorenz stated that the Municipality has historically enjoyed a positive and fruitful relationship with the County and it looks forward to that going forward. Any ideas are welcome for making Murrysville even better. REGULAR VOTING MEETING AGENDA UNLISTED AMENDMENTS: None. Mr. Spadaro moved to approve the Agenda. Mr. Stepanovich seconded. All present voted aye. Motion approved. CONSENT CALENDAR ITEMS: A. Accounts Payable B. Cash Investments and Transfers Mr. Spadaro moved to approve the consent calendar items. Ms. Brockway seconded. All present voted aye. Motion approved. slh Regular Voting Meeting – Wednesday, June 20, 2018 MAYOR’S COMMENTS: Mayor Synan announced that there will be only 1 Council Meeting in July. It will be July 11. The normal 2 meetings will resume in August. Mayor Synan also reminded everyone to be careful and enjoy the 4th of July Holiday. He also thanked Joe Dietrick for all of his years of service. He has been a tremendous asset to the Municipality and he will be missed. CHIEF ADMINISTRATOR’S COMMENTS: Mr. Morrison stated that he was notified today that Dominion will be delivering a check in the amount of $204,000.00 to the Municipality tomorrow. In addition, he received notice from the Dominion Foundation that the Municipality has been successful in receiving a $25,000.00 Grant for the Riperian Buffer project. This equals $229,000.00 toward the Park Improvement Plan. COMMUNITY INPUT: Dick Kearns, of 4997 Longview Court, spoke about traffic, specifically involving the Sloan School project. He would like to address the issue of how this project will affect the community around the school. He asked how to determine if a traffic situation is acceptable or not. He stated that the Municipality is responsible for the health, safety and welfare of the citizens and traffic is an issue that affects that. He noted that he did some research and went to Municipal Code 955-16, Par. D. He read the Code and said he did a Google search for Pennsylvania Code Title 67, Chapter 201 and it is reserved. There is nothing there. He stated that some people have a fear that if you don’t stand up you will get sued. He asked what the cost of being sued is versus the cost of saving a life. How are the first responders going to get to the site to do their job with the traffic situation that the Municipality has. He asked each Council Member what their standard is for safety and added that he will return to ask each one how they made their decision on an acceptable traffic situation around the new project. If it is not acceptable, the Municipality will have to ask them to move it. Camelia Leon, of 2542 Pleasant Valley Road, spoke of the possible agreement with Penn Township regarding the proposed Turnpike Interchange. She said that there is enough traffic on Pleasant Valley Road already and that by next meeting she will have the signature of most people that live on Pleasant Valley Road and she hopes that is taken into consideration. Joan Kearns of 4997 Longview Court, spoke of two issues. First, Bruce Gazon’s letter to the editor regarding the signs at Tarr Hollow and Old William Penn. She fully supports his thoughts that the Municipality needs something there, and also that the electronic signs on Route 22 are dangerous and difficult to read when you are traveling 45 mph or faster, as most traffic does. She would like to find a way to have a sign area at Tarr Hollow without infiltrating it with garage sales, political signs, etc. Second, is the proposed Sloan School Project. She said there was some talk about having a Public Hearing before Council in July and Planning Commission is still mulling over conditions and has not yet reached a consensus on which way they want to go. She respectfully requested that Council wait until Planning Commission reaches some consensus and establishes whatever consensus they feel might help to ease the burden on the Municipality. slh Regular Voting Meeting – Wednesday, June 20, 2018 Mr. Lorenz spoke to both issues raised by Mrs. Kearns, as they are somewhat timely. He said the signage issue has been discussed and the Municipality is looking into other ways to have something there at the Tarr Hollow location. The current situation is not workable from many standpoints. As for the Public Hearing, this was discussed prior to the meeting and Council is looking to postpone the Public Hearing until such time as Planning Commission has had an opportunity to formally weigh in and give their thoughts to Council. LIAISON COMMENTS AND COMMITTEE REPORTS: Mr. Stepanovich stated that the Parks & Recreation Committee met last Tuesday, June 12, at Sardis Park. Bill Paiano will be the new Director of Public Works and was introduced by Bob Bell. He said that Mr. Bell spoke about the activity going on with the roads. Paving will start in about a week on Sardis Road, the playground equipment has been installed at Sardis, the metal roof at Duff Park has been completed, the pickleball lines have been painted at Chambers Park. There will be no fee associated with using the pickleball court unless it is a regular event. There was also a guest at the meeting who is the President of Miracle Field, Harold Hicks. He provided an overview of the history of the Miracle Field and requested that lights be installed there. The Committee agreed to look into that idea and how to do it, etc. He also advised that the facility provides for a wide age range of special needs individuals. Ms. Greene indicated that volunteers are needed for the Farmer’s Market, to assist in parking and monitoring a children’s area. The playground program has started throughout the Municipality. There is a Read, Start, Run Program for those people looking to eventually run a 5k race. There are about 35 people involved in that program. July 11 is a Special Needs Night between 6 and 8 p.m. There is progress being made on the Destination Playground and Splash Pad project. Jackie Stempfer spoke of providing articles to the Penn Franklin in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Parks. Also, volunteers are still needed for the weekends at the Roberts Trail Head. Mr. Spadaro reported that the Planning Commission had a meeting last evening. The entire meeting was on the Sloan School project. They were going over the Engineer review comments and all the conditions that were to be accepted, however, there were more conditions added to the conditions. These included water, traffic, lighting, roads. He stated they would like to wait for an EAC Report before moving this project on to Council. Mr. Mitall asked if anyone on the Planning Commission would like to reject the project. He got no response. Mr. Morrison added that he spoke with Mr. Mitall this afternoon and the plan is to have Staff put together the conditions as presented and discussed last evening. They will then be forwarded to Mr. Mitall sometime next week. He will forward those to the Planning Commission members for review and comment and will provide them back to Staff. They will be posted to the website at that point and Planning Commission will meet again on July 17. WORKSHOP ITEMS 9. Administration slh Regular Voting Meeting – Wednesday, June 20, 2018 A. A discussion concerning the traffic study completed by Markosky Engineering for the Sloan School project. Mr. Dietrick presented an overview of the traffic study. He explained that Markosky Engineering was asked to review the plan that was completed by Trans Associates for the School District and the improvements they are talking about and the way they conducted their Study. He did a PowerPoint presentation. The way they conducted their Study was consistent with what PennDOT does, as most Municipalities follow PennDOT guidelines. He believes their conclusions are very valid based on the Study. There was a question as to whether the Municipality could require a more stringent traffic review than what PennDOT does. He said yes. The Municipality could write its own requirements that exceed what PennDOT requires. He reviewed the circulation plan that is being proposed, showing an overview of the site. He said there was a meeting where they presented a new plan that showed that they could get the ladder truck behind the existing building. So, that issue has been taken care of. He reviewed what he thought might make for a better plan for traffic calming/speed control. See below: • A traffic circle at entrance off of Crowfoot opposite Longview - $410,000; • Redesign the upper end of Crowfoot – 3 options with this - $380,000; • Establish a School Zone, either with or without a speed limit. Any speed limit under 25 mph must be approved by PennDOT; • Turn lane on Sardis approaching Crowfoot - $210,000; • They also looked at what can be done to Crowfoot Bridge to assist the busses in making that turn easier. The bridge can be widened and center line moved to help with turning movements. However, there is a sidewalk on either side of the bridge that would not be able to stay (he noted that the existing sidewalks are below standard size now) - $75,000; • Turn lane at School Road South and Sardis - $225,000; • They also looked at what can be done with the Sloan Bridge. There is a weight limit now. The interior beams could be pumped up so the bridge could carry legal highway loads - $100,000; • Replacing the entire Superstructure - $190,000; • Widening the Sloan Bridge - $260,000. Mr. Dietrick also discussed travel times in a case where Sardis Road was closed and the detours associated with getting to Sardis Road north of Crowfoot. He said it would be about a 5 mile detour which would add about another 8 minutes of travel time. From an emergency standpoint, 8 minutes is a huge amount of time. Also, School Road North to Windover and back down Crowfoot would be a 3.5 mile detour, adding about 7 minutes of travel time. Again, this is a large amount of time from an emergency standpoint. He said they also looked at improving Crowfoot from Sardis the whole way to North Hills and what it would cost to meet the standards for a collector road (12ft wide travel lanes, 6ft shoulders). That would cost an estimated $1.5 Million, which does not include realigning the road at the top of the hill. With realigning, it would cost approximately $2 Million. That could be done from Sardis to Longview, and it would not be unreasonable to make the School District improve the entire frontage that they are dealing with. That entire frontage is School District property. It does fit with past practices as far as road improvement. There was no price slh Regular Voting Meeting – Wednesday, June 20, 2018 calculated for this. All of the cost estimates include utilities. Mr. Stepanovich asked if there were any safety violations found when looking at what Trans Associates had done. Mr. Dietrick said for the most part Trans Associates is maintaining the roads as they are today. They are safe today, but Markosky Engineering was looking at if they could be made safer….moving traffic safely, improving capacity of the roadways. What Trans Associates has proposed, for the most part, is keeping things the way they are, which is not unsafe. Markosky is looking at making them better. Mr. Kase asked if there was a reason to not widen the Crowfoot Bridge altogether, keeping the sidewalks. Mr. Dietrick explained that the Crowfoot Bridge is a unique one, a T-Frame. It would be very difficult to widen that bridge with this type of superstructure. He said you would almost have to put a new superstructure in. Mr. Dice asked how the increase in emergency response travel time was calculated. Mr. Dietrick said he drove it, going the speed limit. Emergency vehicles would probably go faster. However, on Bulltown, Windover, Hills Church roads you cannot drive very fast. That also does not take into account any increased traffic. Again, this is based on a road closure. Ms. Brockway asked if there was input from the emergency vehicle personnel regarding the timing. Mr. Dietrick said he discussed it with Mr. Yant at the Planning Commission meeting but did not go much further than that. He said it was also asked how difficult it would be to get from School Road North to Sloan entrance if they had to get through traffic. He said there isn’t much area that the emergency vehicles could not drive onto yards or over the curb, if needed. Mr. Stepanovich asked about total cost. Mr. Morrison replied that Markosky was not requested to do any detail review of the numbers. They were asked to do a “back of envelope” number to facilitate conversation. He believes the numbers would be more than the numbers provided with challenges such as utilities, property acquisitions, etc. Mr. Stepanovich then asked what Trans Associates’ task was. Mr. Morrison said Trans Associates was not charged with looking at alternatives for road improvements. They did a Transportation Review Study within the guidelines of the State. They looked at traffic, the impact of that traffic, turning radiuses, etc. Neither one looked at any other things as their responsibility. He added that what Trans Associates submitted is typical of any transportation study that is required by the Municipality as part of plan submission. Mr. Kase asked about the potential closing of Sardis Road and if there is a record kept of how often that has happened. Mr. Morrison replied that Trans was to review only reportable accidents. That is in their Study and is approximately 7-8 over a 3 year period. That is debated, however. He is not aware of any statistic available. 10. Engineering A. Discussion regarding the Municipality of Murrysville’s MS4 (Municipal Separate slh Regular Voting Meeting – Wednesday, June 20, 2018 Storm Sewer System) Pollution Reduction Plan. Mr. Hilty said that Murrysville is required by the Pa DEP to have an MS4 NPDS permit. The current permit was issued May 28, 2014. It is a 5-year cycle. The current permit is set to expire in May of 2019. The renewal application is due to be submitted in December of this year. As part of the renewal, there is a mandate for communities to develop a pollution reduction plan showing that they will reduce the sediment load that is being put into the Commonwealth’s water by 10% within the next 5-year cycle. The draft plan shows how that will be accomplished over the next several years. He explained the calculations/models for the urbanized areas in the community set forth in the Report. Murrysville uses the simplified method. Based on this method, Murrysville discharges about 4 Million lbs of sediment into the Commonwealth’s water. So, Murrysville has to show about 400,000 lbs reduction a year. He explained how that is being accomplished by 4 major projects over the next 5 years. There is also a requirement in the renewal that there is public participation. That means the report must be put out as a draft and receive public comment on it. The first step of that is to bring it to Council to see what the plan is. It would then be advertised for public comment. It will be in the Municipal building for review and also on the website. Public comment will be taken at both the July and August meetings and written comments will be taken until the end of August. If needed, there will be revisions made and comments will be submitted with the application. The authorization to advertise is on this Agenda so public comment can begin. The only cost involving the Municipality will be $25,000 cash and $25,000 in-kind for the Riperian Buffer project and that is already included in the CIP budget. All of this information is in Council packets and Dropbox. Mr. Morrison congratulated Mr. Hilty on a job well done in bringing this forward. It requires a tremendous amount of time and effort. There is also a significant cost to the Municipality going forward. Mr. Hilty added that going forward they will probably require testing to prove that there is not any contaminants being discharged and will get more stringent and costly as time goes on. Mr. Stepanovich asked about advertising and if that is suggested. Mr. Hilty replied that it must be advertised and put out for public comment. It is at Council’s discretion as to when that happens. It must be done at least 45 days prior to submission. 11. Community Development A. A discussion concerning SP-1-18, the proposed “First Watch” restaurant patio addition at the Blue Spruce Shoppes, the proposed “First Watch” restaurant to be located at the Blue Spruce Shoppes. Mr. Pollock passed out the plan and presented it. They are looking to add on to the East side of the East building, an 11ft 6in x 40 ft outdoor, unenclosed patio with a landscaped knee wall, faced on both sides with the same stone used on the balance of Blue Spruce Shoppes. This is for outdoor seasonal dining at First Watch Restaurant, which is a breakfast, lunch and brunch concept. They will be open every day of the week, closing at 3:00 p.m. each day. He stated that this is a national breakfast, lunch and brunch establishment and, out of all the tenants he has had come to Blue Spruce, this has been the most widely acclaimed and well- received from the community. slh Regular Voting Meeting – Wednesday, June 20, 2018 Mr. Kase asked if there is an elimination of a sidewalk at the side of the building. Mr. Pollock said there is not. There is currently landscaping up against the building now, and they will be simply replacing the landscaping at the exterior of the wall and adding a patio in between them. Mr. Spadaro said this will be a fine addition to Murrysville. It is a very fine restaurant, as he has been to a few of them. Mayor Synan said it looks great. Mr. Lorenz asked if it is still on tap to open in September. Mr. Pollock said it is. He added that, as a developer, the Staff at the Municipality has been incredible. The process between the developer and the Municipality on all projects in Murrysville over his last 7-8 years has always worked out well. They are hoping to start construction on First Watch as soon as Friday or Monday and work quickly to be able to open in September. Ms. Brockway asked if there will be any disruption to Blue Spruce Shoppes in the construction of First Watch. Mr. Pollock said all of the staging will be behind the building and because it is the end cap of the Center there is plenty of room to work without interfering with other tenants and traffic. Mr. Morrison added that this is before Council to help them understand the process. Mr. Jobe is in attendance, as he is the person responsible to get these projects moving forward once they leave Council. Mr. Morrison explained what is managed internally on a project such as this. He explained the parking requirements and showed a spreadsheet that Staff uses to calculate the demand for the parking in that area. This means that every time someone comes in and wants to make changes, Staff goes through that calculation to ensure it does not exceed the approved parking space requirement for that particular development. He felt it important to discuss this publicly, as Staff receives many complaints about parking. Mr. Lorenz added that where First Watch will be going is at the other end of the Center where there is more parking available - at the front, the end and in back of the building. There are also 4 charging stations for electric vehicles. Mr. Kase asked if the area directly to the left of First Watch is a pedestrian walkway. Mr. Pollock responded that it was a drive-thru lane for a bank that was to be there in the past. He is hoping to one day come back and be allowed to fill that in, as it is an eye sore and doesn’t look like it fits there. Mr. Spadaro asked if Mr. Pollock is buying the Hall property next door as it is an eye sore as well. Mr. Pollock said he has been trying to do so for about 9 years but has not received a reply (from the owner) to his phone calls, letters, and knocks at the door. 12. Public Works and Parks COUNCIL ACTION ITEMS 13. Administration A. Consider approval of Resolution #688-18, a resolution in support of the construction of a new Pennsylvania Turnpike Interchange located between exits 57 and 67 of the Turnpike in the vicinity of Rt. 130 in Penn Township. slh Regular Voting Meeting – Wednesday, June 20, 2018 Ms. Brockway made a motion to approve. Mr. Kase seconded. Mr. Morrison stated that Penn Township had requested the support of Murrysville in their journey to gain support and present that to the Pennsylvania Turnpike while the Turnpike Improvement Project is going on. The benefit to Murrysville is that it would provide an alternate access to the Turnpike and would also help with the truck traffic going to the landfill. Mr. Lorenz stated that this would be an Interchange between Irwin and Monroeville. Mr. Stepanovich asked the community input speaker, Ms. Leon, where her property is in relation to this area. Ms. Leon came to the podium and said that there is plenty of traffic on Pleasant Valley Road now and she read in the paper that if this project goes through it could possibly add another 8,000 vehicles. Mr. Morrison said that he believed the reference to the vehicle traffic was in the Penn Township section of Pleasant Valley Road. He added that he thought the only new traffic in Murrysville would be on the South end of the community. There would be no way that there would be 8,000 vehicles generated from Murrysville. Mr. Kase commented that he believes the goal is to minimize traffic, even on Pleasant Valley, and decrease the truck traffic to the landfill. Mr. Lorenz added that the trucks would use the new Interchange, instead of Monroeville, and use an alternate route which would go through Penn Township. Ms. Leon said the paper also said something about widening the road. Mr. Morrison replied that would also be in Penn Township. The increase in traffic is anticipated where the 130 Interchange is, not on the Murrysville side of Pleasant Valley. Mr. Lorenz asked Council what it would like to do with this at this meeting. Council members agreed to move it on. He stated that technically speaking, Murrysville has no power in this regard, whether the project happens or does not happen. It is not a Murrysville project. This is something that Penn Township has asked Murrysville to support them in, with the Pa Turnpike. Upon a roll call vote: Mr. Spadaro – yes, Ms. Brockway – yes, Mr. Dice – yes, Mr. Kase – yes, Mr. Stepanovich – yes, Mr. Lorenz - yes. Motion approved. B. Consider approval of the revisions to the alcohol policy for Townsend Park, Sardis Park and the Community Center. Ms. Wengrzyn stated that she left the age at 25, based on comments from Council at last meeting. She clarify that alcohol for High School graduation parties is not permitted. Glass bottles are not permitted, however, kegs are permitted. It was also added that alcohol permit applications will be completed by the Chief Administrator in no less than 3 business days, as there is currently no timeline on that. Mr. Stepanovich made a motion to amend the Policy as recommended. Mr. Dice seconded. Mr. Dice asked what the recourse is if someone violates the Policy. Mr. Morrison said that the police get a copy of the Permit and go through the area. If there are slh Regular Voting Meeting – Wednesday, June 20, 2018 violations, they will be cited. There was some debate among Council members regarding the age, 21 or 25. Mayor Synan suggested raising the security deposit, for additional protection. There was some additional discussion regarding the requirement to provide proof of homeowners insurance. Council agreed to make the age 21, with a higher security deposit. The security deposit amount was changed from $200.00 to $350.00. Mr. Lorenz requested a motion to amend the policy, changing the age requirement to 21 and raise the security deposit from $200.00 to $350.00. Mr. Stepanovich made a motion to amend the original motion to change the age requirement to 21, and raise the security deposit from $200.00 to $350.00. Mr. Spadaro seconded. Upon a roll call vote: Mr. Spadaro – yes, Ms. Brockway – yes, Mr. Dice – yes, Mr. Kase – yes, Mr. Stepanovich – yes, Mr. Lorenz - yes. Motion approved. There was no further discussion on the Motion as amended. Upon a roll call vote: Mr. Spadaro – yes, Ms. Brockway – yes, Mr. Dice – yes, Mr. Kase – yes, Mr. Stepanovich – yes, Mr. Lorenz - yes. Motion approved. 14. Community Development A. Consider approval of the SP-1-18, proposed “First Watch” restaurant patio addition at the Blue Spruce Shoppes. Ms. Brockway made a motion to approve, in accordance with the items set forth in the Staff Briefing. Mr. Spadaro seconded. Mr. Pollock accepted the landscaping conditions, as set forth in the Staff Briefing. Upon a roll call vote: Mr. Spadaro – yes, Ms. Brockway – yes, Mr. Dice – yes, Mr. Kase – yes, Mr. Stepanovich – yes, Mr. Lorenz - yes. Motion approved. 15. Engineering A. Consider authorization to advertise for Ordinance No. 998-18, an ordinance accepting property and storm water management facilities on Parcel E from Ronald J. Drowser and Donna J. Drowser ( Heritage Estates Phase III (Revision#2) Plan of Lots). Ms. Brockway made a motion to advertise. Mr. Kase seconded. Mr. Hilty showed drawings and explained where the stormwater facilities are located and contents of the Agenda Briefing which was provided to Council. slh Regular Voting Meeting – Wednesday, June 20, 2018 Upon a roll call vote: Mr. Spadaro – yes, Ms. Brockway – yes, Mr. Dice – yes, Mr. Kase – yes, Mr. Stepanovich – yes, Mr. Lorenz – abstain, as he lives in the development. Motion approved. B. Consider authorization to advertise DPW-5-18 2018, the Morosini Farm Court Improvement Project. Mr. Kase made a motion to advertise. Mr. Stepanovich seconded. Mr. Hilty explained that this was brought forward several meetings ago, as Murrysville had received a Grant through the Westmoreland County Conservation District for $35,300.00. Plans and specifications are still being finalized but Staff wanted to get this before Council for authorization to advertise as the next several meetings will be busy. It will be brought back for award in the August timeframe of the contract. He explained the improvements related to this project. There were no questions from Council.
