Happy Holiday from the Municipality of Murrysville! Celebrate the holidays carefully, especially on nights
like tonight. Slow down, take your time and enjoy the holidays.
Mr. Lorenz thanked the Mayor for his kind words. It has been a busy eight years in Murrysville. There have
been a lot of people who have contributed to many of the wonderful things that have been done in
Murrysville. Mr. Lorenz would like to thank Mayor Synan, who was a driving force behind many of the
projects mentioned; thank you to the former Mayor, Bob Brooks, the former members of Council and the
Solicitor, George Kotjarapoglus, who has guided Council behind the scenes; thank you to the current
Council members and a large thank you to the staff. We have a very unique group, a very talented group, a
group that goes above and beyond and looks forward, ahead and is proactive. They make everybody’s job
earlier. Thank you all.
CHIEF ADMINISTRATOR’S COMMENTS: Mr. Morrison stated that the Municipality has a new Public Works
Foreman who will be starting January 6th. Michael Jakub was formerly a Public Works Foreman for Moon
Township and wanted something a little closer to home.
The Comcast agreement will be on the January agenda.
The Dominion supplier project, the pipe line, will be starting sometime in January. If you see something
coming down over the hill on Wiestertown, that’s what it is. The compressor station will be fired up.
The staff wishes everyone happy holidays.
COMMUNITY INPUT: None
LIAISON COMMENTS AND COMMITTEE REPORTS:
Ms. Brockway: The Library Board meets tomorrow. There is an opening for the Library Board. If anyone is
interested, please go on the website and fill out an application.
Mr. Dice: Nothing to report from FTMSA.
Mrs. Lee Korns: Nothing to report from the Pension Board.
Mr. Kase: Murrysville Medic One meets tomorrow night
Mr. Stepanovich: Parks and Recreation Committee met on December 12. They accepted the project for the
Girl Scout Gold from Haley Nero, which will be a bat box at Staymates Cabin. There were no comments on
Villa Ciano. They were waiting for the Planning Commission to make their comments. The Santa at Sardis
was a success with over 500 attendees. A spring event was discussed. There is a possibility that the egg
hunt will be discontinued. There were some preliminary discussions of the Towne Square and bicentennial.
January 15, there will be a presentation by the Parks and Recreation Committee on park stewardship. The
Environmental Advisory Committee met last night and with respect to Villa Ciano; the Conservation District
passed consent with what was submitted to them. The EAC is recommending that there be a camera
inspection of sanitary sewer lines in that proposed plan. There are 23 lots, sizes of ½ to 2 acres off of Kline
Hollow Road. The geotechnical report is forthcoming. The Home Owners Association will be responsible for

maintaining the sedimentation control. The EAC will be requesting the status of the Sloan School water
quality. They also mentioned a conservation easement around the Titan Well Pad. The next meeting is
Tuesday, January 28th.
WORKSHOP ITEMS
ADMINISTRATION: None
ENGINEERING: None
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: None
PUBLIC WORKS AND PARKS:
12.A. A discussion concerning proposed repairs to the storm sewer off of Cypress Drive in the Heritage
Estates Plan of Lots
Mr. Paiano stated that the plan by Public Works was to try to camera that line. When the grate was taken
off, right where the corner is, it’s 27 feet deep. Mr. Paiano showed a drawing of where the pipe is located
and where the proposed repairs would take place. The pipe is a 36-inch pipe, which is crushed to the point
that they could not get a camera through it. A professional company was brought in to try to camera the
pipe and clean it. Insight Pipe Contracting was able to camera the pipe and indicated that the pipe is
compromised, crushed, and has dirt going into the pipe. The plan is to block that section of the pipe off, run
whatever water into a wet sump going into an inlet that is currently existing and will take the water back.
The pipe would be drilled and then grouted. There are two yards right now that are compromised and will
be fixed.
Mr. Morrison stated that the reason this is on the agenda tonight is that the work is beyond our abilities in
house. Staff solicited proposals from three different companies to provide cost estimates to do the drilling
and the grouting. Later on the agenda is an action item for the services, which is approximately $15,800.
Restoration of the lawns and purchase of the material for the grouting would be done by our public works.
It appears that the original pipe installed was not to specifications. There may be other situation there, but
this is the best alternative at this time. Mr. Paiano mentioned that they were also looking into prices for
relining the remainder of that pipe, which is also cracking. Right now it is functioning and in one piece, but
it is showing signs that it will fail at some point. The relining of the pipes will be brought to Council at a
later date.

13.E. Consider approval of Ordinance No. 1015-19, an ordinance amending Chapter 22 “Gifting Policy” of
the Code of the Municipality of Murrysville and Ordinance No. 614-02
Ms. Brockway made a motion to approve Ordinance No. 1015-19, an ordinance amending Chapter 22
“Gifting Policy” of the Code of the Municipality of Murrysville and Ordinance No. 614-02. Mr. Stepanovich
seconded.
Ms. Heming stated that the ordinance clarifies the existing Gifting Policy. All donations or gifts given to the
Municipality will flow through the Parks and Recreation Foundation. This will be brought back to Council,
probably in January, with a list of what they feel will be viable projects and then this Ordinance and Policy
will begin the process of how donations will be accepted and the funds processed.
Upon a roll call vote: Ms. Brockway – yes, Mr. Stepanovich – yes, Mr. Kase – yes, Mrs. Lee Korns – yes, Mr.
Lorenz – yes, and Mr. Dice – yes. Motion approved.

Committee
Mrs. Lee Korns made a motion to accept the resignation of Richard Rupnik from the Murrysville/Export
Emergency Management Committee and to send him a letter of thanks and gratitude for his years of
service. Mr. Dice seconded.
Mr. Lorenz stated that he wanted to thank Mr. Rupnik for his service and will miss his presence and his
talents, but we certainly understand work and family obligations that people have.
Upon a roll call vote: Ms. Brockway – yes, Mr. Stepanovich – yes, Mr. Kase – yes, Mrs. Lee Korns – yes, Mr.
Lorenz – yes, and Mr. Dice – yes. Motion approved.

Commission and send him a letter of gratitude for his years of service. Mr. Kase seconded.
Mr. Yant has been elected to the Franklin Regional School Board and, per the Home Rule Charter, one
cannot serve in both an elected official capacity as well as an un-appointed capacity. Therefore, Mr. Yant is
resigning from the Planning Commission. His knowledge and presence will be missed. Thank you, Bill, for
your many years of service, not only on the Planning Commission, but throughout the community.
Upon a roll call vote: Ms. Brockway – yes, Mr. Stepanovich – yes, Mr. Kase – yes, Mrs. Lee Korns – yes, Mr.
Lorenz – yes, and Mr. Dice – yes. Motion approved.

13.H. Consider the resignation of Zachary Kansler from the Murrysville Planning Commission
Mrs. Lee Korns made a motion to accept the resignation of Zachary Kansler from the Murrysville Planning
Commission and to send him a letter of gratitude for his service. Mr. Kase seconded.
Mr. Lorenz stated that because of other commitments, Mr. Kansler would like to resign his position on the
Planning Commission. Mr. Lorenz noted that there will be several openings for volunteers. If anyone is
interested in these or other positions that are open, please visit the Murrysville website and submit your
application.
Upon a roll call vote: Ms. Brockway – yes, Mr. Stepanovich – yes, Mr. Kase – yes, Mrs. Lee Korns – yes, Mr.
Lorenz – yes, and Mr. Dice – yes. Motion approved.
PUBLIC WORKS AND PARKS:
14.A. Consider approval of the hiring of Armstrong Drilling in the amount of $15,800 for the proposed
repairs to the storm sewer off of Cypress Drive in the Heritage Estates Plan of Lots
Mrs. Lee Korns made a motion to approve the hiring of Armstrong Drilling in the amount of $15,800 for the
proposed repairs to the storm sewer off of Cypress Drive in the Heritage Estates Plan of Lots. Ms. Brockway
seconded.
Mr. Paiano stated that they will get started after the first of the year, weather dependent. Mr. Kase asked
if other options were looked at for pricing. Mr. Paiano stated that two other bids were received: Suburban
Contracting $29,750 and Sardis Construction & Supply $23,850. The thing about Armstrong that makes
them unique is that they are going to use a small track drill, which is not very common. If a larger, water
well drill would be used, we would have to put a roadway in and there would be a lot more damage to the
properties.
Upon a roll call vote: Ms. Brockway – yes, Mr. Stepanovich – yes, Mr. Kase – yes, Mrs. Lee Korns – yes, Mr.
Lorenz – abstained, because he lives in the development and directly down the street from this area, and
Mr. Dice – yes. Motion approved.
ENGINEERING: None
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT:
16.A. Consider approval of CU-1-18 Conditional Use, CU-2-18 Major Excavation and SP-4-18 for
Construction and Operation of the Titan Well Pad, 6189 Bollinger Road
Mr. Morrison recommended that Council may want to go into Committee of the Whole. There is still
discussion on this particular item of the conditions. Staff did provide the latest iteration of those conditions
and are offered for Council’s review and comments.

THE MUNICIPALITY OF MURRYSVILLE
Regular Voting Meeting – Wednesday, December 18, 2019
Mr. Kase made a motion for Council to go to Committee of the Whole. Mr. Stepanovich seconded. All
present voted aye. Motion approved.
Mr. Sittig stated that these are the recommendations made as a result of discussions from the last Council
meeting. The conditions represent their best efforts at coming to acceptable conditions. The most difficult
and challenging was the condition of traffic during the completion phase and trying to account for
emergency situations or situations if the applicant for some reason cannot get all of the water piped. With
help from the staff, AVT, Mike Mudry, and the cooperation of Olympus and their consultants, we have
arrived at the best solution that we can with conditions.
Mr. Stepanovich stated that as far as Item 12, which states that if the applicant does not agree with an
amount proposed by the Municipality, the dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the Pennsylvania
Municipalities Planning Code 53 P.S. § 10509(g). Is that a sensible thing to do? Mr. Sittig stated that this
applies to typical bonding in land developments in the Municipality. The applicant’s engineer provides an
estimate. The Municipality’s engineer then reviews that and typically they come to an agreement. If they
don’t, then the mechanism is that they mutually agree on a third party engineer and that cost is shared by
each party equally and agree to accept the judgement of that third party engineer.
Mr. Stepanovich questioned the 3 years in Item 16(d). Olympus has 4 months for construction, 6 months
for drilling, and 6 months for completion, which would be 16 months. At the last meeting, 18 months and 2
years were discussed, which would still give Olympus a buffer. We’d like to get this done and over with in
as short a time as possible. Mr. Stepanovich stated that he objects to the 3 years and would like to see it
be 2 years. Mr. Sittig wanted to clarify that Olympus’ request was 0 limits. They have reluctantly agreed to
3 years. The explanation is that there are periods when they may cross over into seasons, or their
equipment and rigs could become unavailable. Mr. Richardson stated that they may complete construction
of the pad itself, but then there may be an issue with drilling rig availability. There could be an interval
between completion of pad construction and start of drilling. Olympus would prefer no time limit so they
would not have to worry about those intervals, but they recognize that there was a strong desire on the
part of Council to have an outside limit. Olympus thought 3 years was appropriate to provide for those
potential intervals between the stages. Mr. Sittig stated that he recommends giving Olympus room,
because once these conditions are set, they become firm, and then you are setting up a use variance
and/or a new application.
Mr. Kase stated that he was originally going down that same path; the impact on the community would still
be limited within the 3 stages with 120 days, 180 days and 180 days. Mr. Stepanovich stated that he can
see that point. In regards to the traffic study, Mr. Stepanovich wanted the applicant to know that if there is
a violation, we will know. We have the resources to monitor and check to make sure that what we agreed
to is what’s being done.
Mr. Stepanovich stated that the Environmental Advisory Committee indicated that there may be a benefit
to having a conservation easement about the well pad. The rationale is if someone builds close to that and
doesn’t realize that a well pad is going to be built. With an easement, you can protect someone from going
in there and building close to the well pad. Mr. Sittig stated that impacts that the Ordinance largely
protects against are the development impacts. When Council is defending those impacts, it is on the basis
of the construction and development impacts. It is not in the operations phase. The information is on
record and would be up to the builder or buyer to explore.

Regular Voting Meeting – Wednesday, December 18, 2019
Mr. Kase stated that his first comment was already addressed regarding the 3 year timeline. Based on the
limitations already imposed on the 3 stages, he is OK with that. In regards to Item 16(a. i.), Maximum three
heavy vehicle trips per day, what is a heavy truck? Mr. Sittig stated that it is something not in the pickup
category. It is in the licensing category. Mr. Richardson stated that in Item 16 (b), it indicates how the
trucks are classified in the Traffic Impact Study, which is where the numbers are coming from. The same
reference could be made in Item 16(a.i.). Mr. Kase said that would help clarify it.
Mr. Kase stated that just for clarification, Item 17 (not exceeding fourteen days per completion stage) shall
be permitted. What is the definition of that? Mr. Sittig stated that they are going to get a permit for each
well and each well will have these phases.
Mrs. Lee Korns stated that it’s in everyone’s best interested to finish the work as quickly as possible. If
things are forced to come back before Council, that could slow things down and be more of a nuisance than
it was in the beginning. Mrs. Lee Korns stated that she would not want this to be indefinite and appreciates
the applicant agreeing with three years. In regards to Item 17, she would like more clarification on
approval of the Chief Administrator of a traffic management plan. What would that look like, especially if
the Chief Administrator is having difficulty or the future Chief Administrator is having difficulty with coming
to terms on what the traffic management plan would be. Would that come back to Council? Mr. Morrison
stated that if it were him, he would not want the burden of that responsibility solely on his shoulders and
would bring it before Council. Mrs. Lee Korns asked if there should be a statement to include that the
approval must be obtained by the Chief Administrator and/or Council if needed. Mr. Sittig stated that this
would happen in an emergency situation, whether it is Mr. Morrison or his successor, and a quick decision
would need to be made at that time. Mr. Lorenz stated that if it’s a call that Mr. Morrison or whoever
doesn’t believe that he or she can make independent of Council’s input, it is incumbent upon that person to
come before Council in an appropriate time frame and appropriate manner to get that approval. The way
the condition is worded is acceptable. Mr. Sitting stated that the burden is still on the applicant and the
applicant has agreed to best standards.
Mrs. Lee Korns asked about Item 18(b). It is her understanding that there would be continuous noise
monitoring during the production stage. She reads that in the condition, it states that they can stop
monitoring after 30 days into the production stage. Mr. Sittig explained that data is going to be maintained
following commencement the production stage. There is no noise in the productions stage and this is
adding 30 days past that. The work activity, during the drilling stage where there is noise, is already
completed.
Mr. Dice stated that he feels everything has been answered that he was concerned about and feels that the
applicant has been very accommodating with the conditions that were presented.
Ms. Brockway stated that she also had a couple of questions that have already been answered. She wanted
to thank Olympus for trying to accommodate how strict and concerned that Council was in regards to
piping water to the site and the conditions implemented. Ms. Brockway asked if, for emergency purposes,
is there a way to have holding tanks on site? Ms. Hoffman answered that Olympus will have an above
ground storage tank on site that will hold a considerable amount of fresh water, but it won’t be enough to
handle more than a couple of stages. Mr. Stepanovich asked how that translates into hours or days. Ms.
Hoffman stated that you are able to get about 6 to 7 stages a day with piped water or about 4 stages with
trucked water. It would also depend on the size of the tank, which would be around 2 stages.

Mr. Morrison stated that this has been a good process and Council has done an excellent job. Staff has
tried to document as much as they can and look forward to working with Olympus on this very challenging
project. Mr. Morrison stated that he assures Council that his replacement will be professional,
knowledgeable and make every effort moving forward to ensure that our practices are carried on. A good
deal of thanks goes to Mr. Sittig in steering us though this and Olympus’ patience and professionalism
through this process. This has been challenging over a good many years, starting with an ordinance. There
is no more satisfaction than having a project approved as a result of that. This is the end product of all the
work put into the ordinance and everyone should be proud of that. The best interests of the residents will
be kept in mind during the process.
Mr. Stepanovich asked if anything has been heard from Protect PT. Mr. Sittig stated that Protect PT did a
submission from the proposed findings and conditions. All of that was taken into account and the first set
of conditions was a combination of recommendations and comments from Protect PT.
Mr. Stepanovich made a motion for Council to come out of the Committee of the Whole. Mr. Dice
seconded. All present voted aye. Motion approved.
Mr. Lorenz asked the applicant if they approve of the conditions this evening. Mr. Richardson answered
yes.
Mr. Morrison recommended that Council consider the waivers as part of the motion as they pertain to the
landscaping and sound to be incorporated.
Mr. Richardson noted that the address is actually 6109 Bollinger Road, not 6189 Bollinger Road.
Mrs. Lee Korns made a motion to approve CU-1-18 Conditional Use Application, Titan Well Pad, 6109
Bollinger Road, subject to the most recent conditions of December 17th, uploaded in Dropbox, including the
landscaping and noise waiver request, with the one noted addition of the definition of a heavy truck in Item
#16. Ms. Brockway seconded.
