LIAISON COMMENTS AND COMMITTEE REPORTS:
Mr. Spadaro: There was a Planning Commission meeting last night. There were 4 new parcels up for
discussion. The Shevchek subdivision, 5.7 acres; they were trying to decide if it will be a private drive or
what the name of the street should be. The solicitor is looking into that. The Kistler Road project is
requesting a zoning change from business to mixed-use. They want to put offices and apartments with
parking accommodations for 18 to 20 people. Creative Bus Sales will have 3 to 7 employees and put 5 to 10
buses and RVs on the property site to sell. The site has the right zoning and a site plan was submitted. They

need to bring back more detailed information. The Muthappen building on 4480 William Penn Highway; he
wants to put a single professional medical office building there.
Mr. Stepanovich: The Environmental Advisory Council met on September 25th. There were four people in
attendance. A standard parking space is 9 feet wide by 18 feet long. There was a brief discussion about
Creative Bus and a preliminary discussion about a minor subdivision on the Kish property. He became
aware that If there is a grade greater than 40 degrees, you cannot build on it. If the grade is between 25
and 40 you have to have an engineering report on the suitability of that. The next meeting is October 30 th.
Mr. Kase: Nothing to report.
Mrs. Lee Korns: In response to the real estate RFPs for pension, the staff is working with the solicitor on
some language so they can move forward with reviewing documents and bring to a committee vote.
Mr. Dice: He was unable to attend the FTMSA meeting and unable to get ahold of Kevin or Bob as they
were both out of town on a conference for FTMSA. Mr. Dice stated that he will be ready next meeting with
a report from Thursday’s meeting.
Ms. Brockway: The Library Board met on Thursday, September 20th. There are many upcoming 2018 fall
children’s programs to sign up for. She encourages you if interested to go to the website at
www.murrysvillelibrary.org. The first joint annual Murrysville Library and Foundation Boards met on
September 25th. At this meeting was a recap of the year at large and a look at the direction of the library
moving forward with lots of exciting and creative thoughts and ideas for the library this year and years to
come. Shelby Cooper a Franklin Regional senior spoke of the wonderful projects she spearheaded this past
year. Thanks to Shelby, Franklin Regional and members of our community, there is now a Franklin Regional
Library in Kenya. She started early on being a part of the Murrysville Library Children’s Programs and has
used her love for books to help others. Congratulations on such a wonderful and noteworthy project.
COUNCIL ACTION ITEMS
ADMINISTRATION
9.A. Presentation of the new Murrysville website.
Mr. Morrison stated that Amy Wengrzyn will be giving us a presentation of the new website. It was nine
months in the making and being the resident millennial on staff, she was quite helpful in guiding us through
the technicalities. Ms. Wengrzyn handed out a sheet of key new features of the website and noted that
each of the web addresses are the same and were transferred over. The home page consists of four main
global navigation topics: About Us, Departments, Residents, and How Do I. There is a search bar where you
can search key words or terms if you are looking for something in particular. The graphic buttons are:
Notify Me, Volunteer, Agendas & Minutes, Public Notices, Bids & RFPs, and Report A Concern. The News
Flash section can have a number of items displayed. There is a Meeting & Events Calendar. In the footer
there are some quick links that are popular, contact information, and Murrysville Information Desk email. A
new feature is Notify Me, where residents can sign up with their information and email address on what

they want sent to them like newsletters and alerts. Alert Center sends out SMS text messages to residents.
This is in addition to Nixle that we have with the police department. This would be used if there was an
emergency with road conditions or other emergencies. Police and Recreation both have their own pages.
Mr. Morrison stated that the challenge is keeping the pages fresh. Each director is responsible for keeping
their department page up to date.
Mr. Lorenz noted to Amy that the website was a job well done. It was a significant improvement over the
website that we did have. It’s a lot more user friendly, it’s intuitive, the layout is nice, and feels that the
residents will get a lot more use and benefit from the new website.
9.B. Approval of the 2019 Minimum Municipal Obligation (MMO) for the Police and Non-Uniform Pension
Plan in the amount of $689,228.
Ms. Brockway made a motion to approve the 2019 Minimum Municipal Obligation (MMO) for the police
and non-uniform pension plan in the amount of $689,228. Mr. Dice seconded.
Ms. Heming noted that this is an annual calculation they have to do to provide a budgeted amount for the
pension plan. The minimum Municipal obligation is determined by the calculations that were made in the
Actuarial Valuations. The cost is $157,233 greater now, but it would be pretty stable over the next three
years. Estimated State Aid is $345,500 which leaves the Municipality with a cost of $343,728 in the 2019
Budget.
Upon a roll call vote: Mr. Stepanovich - yes, Mrs. Lee Korns - yes, Ms. Brockway - yes, Mr. Spadaro - yes,
Mr. Lorenz - yes, Mr. Dice - yes, and Mr. Kase - yes. Motion approved.
ENGINEERING
10.A. Consider award of a contract for DPW-5-18, Morosini Farm Court Improvement Project.
Mrs. Lee Korns made a motion to award the contract to Excavation Contracting by Eremic, Inc., not to
exceed $70,000 for DPW-5-18, Morosini Farm Court Improvement Project. Mr. Kase seconded.
Mr. Hilty stated that after re-advertising, they received two bids. The low bid was from Excavation
Contracting for $50,000. They also go by Ever Ready Contracting and have done storm water retrofit for the
Conservation District and did work at the MCP where they did some regrading of the soccer fields on Field
1. They provided all the required documentations, we’ve done their qualification checks, and we’re ready
to move forward with this project.
Upon a roll call vote: Mr. Stepanovich - yes, Mrs. Lee Korns - yes, Ms. Brockway - yes, Mr. Spadaro - yes,
Mr. Lorenz - yes, Mr. Dice - yes, and Mr. Kase - yes. Motion approved.

COMMUNITY INPUT
Mr. Lorenz reminded the audience this is their opportunity to talk to Council and they have a time limit of
three minutes. When you come up, please state your name and address for the record.
John J. Nagoda, 2916 Italy Road, Export: Mr. Nagoda stated that he and his wife Michele Nagoda are
representing the Borough of Export and are also property owners in the Municipality of Murrysville. Mrs.
Nagoda handed out a letter being submitted on behalf of Export Council. She read, On October 2, 2018, the
Export Borough Council voted unanimously against the new Franklin Regional School Project. We believe
the site is wrong, is a totally unnecessary building expense, as well as, a most unpopular endeavor district
wide. Great teachers and great curriculum create great students; not fancy buildings. We present this
letter tonight to formally voice the opposition of Export Council to the project. Mr. Nagoda said that his
family has lived here since the 1900’s. The School wants to build on springs, waterways, cattails, and
swamps. They have no consideration for nature. They are destroying a natural site there. If you build a
school there you are going to have flooding and mold and a congestion center.
Scott Weinman, 4023 Bender Circle, Murrysville: Did you ever hear the saying, “Once the toothpaste is out
of tube, it is awfully hard to put it back in”? The Sloan School Project is just like that. It’s going to make a
mess all over Sardis Road, Crowfoot Road and the Murry Woods Community. The increased traffic on roads
ill-equipped to handle the additional volume, increased sewage on property when rain occurs, to increase
EMS response times in the case of an incident, this project is toothpaste that wants out of the tube and will
not be cheap or easy to put back in. Thank you for your continued review of all the issues as they affect the
health, safety and welfare of not only the 1,500 elementary children who attend the Sloan School but also
any residents who travel or live in the vicinity of this school.
Val Mittereder, 105 Park Lane: You are trusted as Council members, within reason, to protect the citizens.
This is going to affect everybody, but mostly the people in Murry Woods and Crowfoot. You are traffic
locking or land locking the people in Murry Woods. That is a worse road than Sardis Road. We are going to
lose our pristine stream; we’re going to have mini-buses coming down with all the people from Export and
Delmont who are going to drive their kids. There is going to be excessive traffic, excessive noise, and
everyone north of the school is going to have an issue getting an ambulance, a fire truck, or police when it’s
AM or PM. Rather than bowing down to the school, this is a bad location. That’s all we’re saying. They
didn’t pick this location because it was best, best for the school or best for the community. They picked it
because they want to clear that property off to build a high school and sports center.
Sue O’Mahony, 5064 North Lawn Circle: At their July 17th meeting, the Planning Commission passed this
new school project along to Council. Not with a yes vote, but with conditions, “and a deep concern that we
do not feel is in the best interest of the community”. Various commission members told the district at that
meeting that the district threw their plan on the table and expected an approval. Any project that comes
vmp
THE MUNICIPALITY OF MURRYSVILLE
Regular Voting Meeting – Wednesday, October 3, 2018
before the Planning Commission works with them to find the obstacles and then finds the solution that is
satisfactory to all the parties. They also said that the Commission would make a suggestion and the
response from the district was “this is our plan”. The Commission said that 4 questions were asked to the
District and 3 were answered with “I don’t know” or “I’m not sure”. Agreements with the District were
made on the lighting, the screening and sound proofing of rooftop equipment, and garbage will not be
picked up before 7 AM. I’m sure that every member of Council is glad they do not live across from the
school property. Many of us have learned a lot about how our local government works throughout this
whole process. I thank you for the work you have put into this project, however, if you are not willing to
standup to developers who are not willing to work with the Municipality to protect the community and
nearby dwellings as the Conditional Use Zoning Codes require, why have those codes at all. Why not just
annul them?
Ron Wolfe, 3644 Forbes Trail Drive: Mr. Wolfe said that he recently returned home from vacation in
September to the third spillage of raw sewage in his backyard. A gentleman was sent down with a bag of
lime and spread it from about 10 feet from where the sewer spilled instead of his whole yard. Mr. Wolfe
showed him picture of his flooded yard and he didn’t seem to care, but I care. I don’t want raw sewage in
my yard. At the last FTMSA meeting, Kevin Kaplan was asked about hydraulically challenged sewer systems
and if he would recommend a tie-in. Mr. Kaplan said no, but at the end of the meeting asked if he would
not hook into a hydraulically challenged line, but approved Sloan School? The school district attorney said
Mr. Wolfe has litigation pending against us, you cannot answer that question. No more questions. That’s
the end of his comments.
Joan Kearns, 4997 Longview Court: At the last meeting she mentioned three words that are very important:
From the Comp Plan – complimentary, from the Municipal Codes – harmonious, and Josh had added –
mesh. What is complimentary, harmonious or meshes with a building that is 522 times larger than the
average 2200 square foot home in the area where this is to be built? Why is it complimentary, harmonious
or meshing when the service drive is 150 feet from residential properties? The backup drive which is the
only access for garbage trucks, delivery trucks, vans, etc. is 250 feet long. What is complimentary,
harmonious, or meshing about 120 daily bus trips, which is more than double the current number, or 1,000
new daily car trips past residential properties on a two-lane road – Crowfoot Road. The Planning
Commission spent a considerable amount of time developing their list of recommended conditions for this
monstrosity of a plan. Their recommendation requires full consideration from Council. The Municipality
received these plans last fall with a take it or leave it attitude from the District. The more we look at the
plans, the more problems we find. What happens to Veterans Field soccer area if a potential southbound
turning lane is built there? Something to consider because that soccer field is well used.
Richard Kearns, 4997 Longview Court: Mr. Kearns stated that last meeting he mentioned that a few of
them got legal representation to monitor the public hearing. As a result of that, he advised that we
concentrate on site, safety and sewage. He sent Council an email regarding sewage where all three entities
come together – the School District, FTMSA, and Council. The school wants to move 1,000 students across
the street where their affluent will flow into a pipe which flows down to the School Road pump station
which doesn’t work when it rains hard. There is a plan to try to correct some of these things, but no action
will be taken on construction as it sits right now for four years. The question for Council is that knowing
you are going to put more affluent flow into that pipe when it overflows, and the concentration is going to
be greater, are you going to allow this?

Russ Phillips, 5069 Northlawn: Mr. Phillips stated that the school has so much power and push around
their citizens. It’s very frustrating. In many states, it would be the people who decide if this proposal is
reasonable. The effects of tripling the school population on this environment, the traffic, the safety and
the overall harmony of the residential surroundings, it just doesn’t make sense. I’m tired of the School
Board bullying, using our money, and bullying Council by intimidation not to be sued and do what they
want so that our tax money won’t be used in court. I’m tired of the bullying. I expect that this Council will
not be bullied, will not make this a reality, that you will show courage and not allow the presence of this
School District’s attorney to sway you. I expect you to look at the facts to judge on how you evaluate the
conditions fairly. Consider how the two schools that would be built, each with the capacity to hold 800
students, plus all the staff would fit in an area that currently contains many wetlands, large woods, multiple
pristine streams, and is mostly residential. It doesn’t fit here. What is reasonable, what is common sense?
The community is counting on you. You are our last hope before we have to dig into our pockets to sue,
with the other side paying for their lawyers using our tax dollars.
Ed Mittereder, 105 Park Lane: We’re all in this together. Mr. Mittereder stated that he was in the
construction business for many years. The school buildings are not crumbling and falling down. They need
fixed. The fix would not cost over $100 million dollars. We don’t have the growth like up in the north
where hundreds of homes are being built. That property was given to the district for free. There’s a reason
why it was free. The property is a swamp. If you read and listen to the news, you’ll see that many schools
had been closed for weeks. Why? The big “M” word – Mold! Why are we going to build into an area that
we already know is a swamp? It is what it is. There has been a lot of planning, but planning is nothing but
words. He hears “we’ll re-evaluate it once we supposedly build”, but the damage is already done. How do
you fix something once the dyke has been broken? You folks have the opportunity to save all of us from
stupidity and there is nothing else to day.
Dennis Pavlic, 229 North Duane, Pittsburgh 15239: Mr. Pavlic stated that first of all, Sloan School is a 100-
acre site and was always meant for multiple buildings. The school project budget is $54 million dollars for
the Sloan Project. There has always been a Phase II. The last rehabilitations in the School District have been
1999 on Sloan and 1992 on the High School. A complete audit was done to see how much it was going to
cost to replace or actually do a new project. There were countless public meetings and public hearings
where people voiced their opinions. We met all the requirements for the traffic studies for the
Municipality. The Municipality has not been doing their due diligence as far as roads and road
maintenance. We are now told that the Crowfoot Bridge is too narrow, and the buses can’t get on it. Why
wasn’t that told to us so that it could have been fixed when it was rebuilt by the city. We’ve tried to work
with the Municipality and have made changes which we think were reasonable. There are certain changes
that this district has agreed to, which we think are valid and viable, in regard to the sewers and sewer
system. We are not putting any more water into the sewer system. We’re actually just moving it from the
other schools to here. The sewer system is more than adequate to handle it. The biggest problem is
terracotta lines. Terracotta will always fail. We will be using plastic lines where you get no infiltration or
overflow. We believe we have complied with all the original requirements and met all the goals of the
Municipality.

Elementary School Conditional Use, P-L Zoning, CU-8-17 Sloan Campus Major Excavation and CU-9-17 Sloan
Campus Wetland and Wetland Buffers, 4121 Sardis Road, Murrysville, PA
Mr. Morrison stated that the conditions discussed at the last meeting by Council are posted in the
supporting documents. He suggested that the architect who was requested to bring some samples of
building materials present those at this time.
Daniel Enge, Architect for the school, brought in samples of the exterior materials of building. He explained
what each was and passed them around to Council. The exterior of the building will have essentially two
shades of brick, a tan and lighter tan. Different shades are used to create shadow lines and dimension on
the building. Mostly masonry will be used and a wood like masonry panel. There are some accent, metal
areas that will be used and aluminum around the windows. The materials are all significant in their nature
and definitely meant to be around for a long time.
Ms. Brockway asked if anything complimentary was going to be done to the old building. Mr. Enge
answered yes, that basically the same essential materials were going to be used to create a campus effect
and similar motif.
Mr. Stepanovich asked about CPTED, Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design and if that was
something he was aware of that was taken into account. Mr. Enge answered yes, that all of the designs of
the two buildings has been worked on with the district, security has been involved. There are secure
vestibules, plans for future metal detectors, there is a security office for a security officer in a key location
in each building, there are exterior perimeter controls, there are windows on the first floor that can easily
be gotten out of if needed to, and other security measures that would rather not be made public. Mr.
Stepanovich asked if the prevailing wind and air flow was taken into account. Mr. Enge said that as
designers, they do pay attention to those things and they are taken into account.
Mr. Spadaro asked if there will be ramps going to each of the three stories or will there be elevators. Mr.
Enge stated that there is going to be an elevator in the new building. That is a requirement by law that they
have to be completely accessible.
Mr. Stepanovich asked about plumbing and electrical fixtures not being mounted on the inside of exterior
walls. Mr. Enge stated that they do avoid exterior walls. All of the restrooms are internal to the building
and doesn’t believe there are any on the exterior ways of the building.
Ms. Brockway said that one of the concerns people have addressed is mold. In this particular area mold
could be bad because of the water we have there. Do you look at certain materials that are better
protected against that? Mr. Enge explained that the new building is all modern design with the most
modern technology that we can build with currently. The control system for the building is all state of the
art digital controls. The School District is going to be able to monitor the temperature in every single room
and be able to adjust it on an as needed basis. The industry in general is doing better with building
materials that will stand the test of time. Every site has its own challenge. The existing Sloan building does
not have a flood problem; it’s on high ground. Behind the building is a slope of trees where there will be a
French drain going in to help improve the grassland area near the playground. It’s a solid building but will
vmp
THE MUNICIPALITY OF MURRYSVILLE

be replacing doors and windows along with replacing part of the roof as general maintenance.
Mr. Lorenz suggested that Council go thru the modified conditions that were discussed by Council, the
Municipal Solicitor and representatives of the School District.
1. Water Quality: There will be baseline testing at four different locations done monthly. The results
would be given to the Municipality for a period of one-year post-construction. If there were a negative
impact, we are looking to require corrective action. Mr. Kase suggested that a timeline should be
added so the correction action plan is not open-ended. Mr. Morrison suggested 30 days may be
reasonable and fair. Everyone agreed that a 30-day timeline would be reasonable to add to the
condition.
2. Lighting: Lighting should be installed per the approved plan and turned off between the hours of 6:30
pm and 6:30 am during non-event evenings with exception of emergency lighting. The lighting for
event evenings and the parking lot lighting will be turned off 30 minutes after the end of the event.
After some discussion about the safety of people leaving after an event and lighting, it was decided that
wording should be added to accommodate that. Mr. Morrison will add the language “or at the end of
an evening event, to extend lighting for a period of time to ensure the safety of those on campus.”
3. Traffic:
a. Mrs. Lee Korns wanted some additional context in regard to small or mini buses being used where
they were prohibiting bus traffic on Crowfoot. The engineer stated that this would be just in case a
student was living on Crowfoot Road and they would have to pick them up. They would use a
smaller vehicle to do that. That exception should be added to the condition. Mr. Morrison will add
“...except to the extent a student(s) on Crowfoot Road is to be picked up by a school vehicle”.
b. School Zone: If Council determines that a school zone is required on Sardis or Crowfoot Bridge, the
School District will be responsible for the cost of equipment and maintenance.
c. Post Occupancy Traffic Study: Once the school has been constructed, a post-occupancy traffic study
would be done to determine what issues need addressed. Council outlined what four potential
issues they think need addressed. A Bond in the amount of $2.3 million would be issued by the
School District for those potential improvements which is listed in the MPC and can be issued in
various forms.
Mr. Stepanovich stated that he is still concerned about Sardis and Crowfoot in the event of an incident
that there is a real safety concern. It’s going to be difficult for emergency vehicles to access the site in a
timely manner in the event of an incident and he feels this is the wrong site for this project.
4. Noise: The condition was changed to include that the public-address system could be used in the case
of an emergency.
5. Harrison Trail Easement along Crowfoot: This was a request that came from the Conservancy. Mr.
Lorenz suggested that Council include the map that the Conservancy provided.
6. Approval of the DEP Planning Module: The development would have to be approved by the DEP, the
planning module would have to be approved by the DEP, and Council would have to modify Act 537
vmp
THE MUNICIPALITY OF MURRYSVILLE
Regular Voting Meeting – Wednesday, October 3, 2018
Plan as well.
7. Compliance with Emergency Management Comments: The School District’s proposed plan for the
school project was provided to Emergency Management; specifically to the police, fire chiefs, and
Medic One. After review, there were some modifications and changes incorporated which are already
a part of the record.
8. Pickup and Delivery Hours: Nothing before 7 AM and nothing after 6 PM. Milk is delivered 2-3 times a
week and food once a week during regular hours. Trash pickup is every day, but after 7 AM and it’s
usually around 8 AM. Mrs. Lee Korns asked that the first work “refuse” be changed to all deliveries so
that it would include all deliveries. Mr. Kase noted that children being picked up and dropped off
shouldn’t be lumped into that. Mr. Morrison will change the working to “All pickup and deliveries with
the exception of dropping off and pickup of students
9. Standard Engineering Conditions: Nothing new there.
10. Architectural Design: The Condition there would be that all roof top equipment will be screened, and
sound proofed per the specifications submitted by the applicant and sufficient to meet the
requirements of the Municipal Sound Ordinance. There will be a pre and post development survey
completed by the School District to ensure compliance with the ordinance with the cost being the
responsibility of the School District.
Joan Kearns stated that the conditions gone over this evening are reasonable, but they do not address the
concerns of the residents of this area or in the community. Can the conditions please be posted on the
website? You can’t correct a mistake after you approved the plan. The traffic study does not address the
impact throughout the community. Mr. Morrison stated that the information will be posted as directed by
Council with the changes.
Dick Kearns stated that each Council member is going to have to tell us why you think this is a safe
condition to be in, in the case of an emergency after emergency people have been in here pleading with
you to consider that. The Police Chief didn’t address that at all or take any questions in that regard.
Mr. Spadaro said that he agrees with Mr. Stepanovich that emergency management is going to be a
lingering issue; the welfare of the kids, the backup of traffic, evacuation, etc.
Mrs. Lee Korns said that they have taken every single meeting as an opportunity to listen and gather as
much information as they can. They listen carefully, take notes, research and are saving their comments
for the voting meeting. She feels that’s what most of Council is doing and saving this meeting for
discussion of the conditions listed.
Mr. Lorenz stated that’s what the workshops are about – listening and learning and understanding.
Mr. Lorenz suggested that the October 10th Special Meeting be cancelled. We’ve heard a lot of testimony;
we read everything that was sent to us. We heard all the issues and concerns. At this point, the issues are
understood and taken into consideration. Council agreed. Mr. Morrison will cancel the October 10th
