Regular Voting Meeting – Tuesday, March 19, 2024
The Municipality of Murrysville is seeking qualified applicants for the position of full-time Code
Enforcement Officer. Position is full-time with benefits. Go to www.murrysville.com to complete a job
application if interested.
CHIEF ADMINISTRATOR’S COMMENTS: Mr. Morrison was sitting in for Chief Administrator, Michael
Nestico, and stated that there were no comments.
COMMUNITY INPUT:
Deb Bucciero, 4974 Cline Hollow: Ms. Bucciero stated that in the middle of February, she was walking in
Duff Park, and someone had broken into her car. She had to get a new door with $3,500 damage. She
noted that it was partly her fault because her purse was on the passenger seat. She is asking Council if
there was an opportunity to put security cameras at the park. She feels safe in Murrysville and hasn’t
stopped walking in the park. Ms. Bucciero noted that they took her cash but did not take her cards – they
took pictures of them and tried to use her information. Maybe we need to look at our community and see
where we might need some security cameras. Mayor Synan noted that is a problem in multiple
communities right now within the parks. Our police are working with other departments to try to solve this.
Patrick Clevenger, 6970 Berkshire Drive: Mr. Clevenger had concerns about Caliber Collision. One of
Murrysville’s Ordinances states that setbacks for businesses next to residential properties should be 40
feet. The plans he was able to get shows 20 feet. There was a house on that plan years ago which burned
down. He wants to make sure that environmental concerns are taken care of for that property. Their
detention pond does not account for any sort of chemical treatment of the water. Detention ponds can
lower property values for the neighboring properties.
Melanie Mills, 6025 Forbes Hollow: Ms. Mills wanted to bring Council’s attention to Articles 3, 4, and 5 of
the Murrysville Code on land development. She sent Council a much more detailed assessment of these
articles in an email earlier today and encourages Council to read through this code thoroughly over the
next few days. The Code outlines at least 49 permits, documents, proposals, plans, etc. that are all required
to be included with the development application prior to the vote by Council. The developer also is
required to provide the location, type and approximate size of existing utilities to serve the development
and written verification from each utility that will service it. Has Council received written verification from
FTMSA that would grant the developer access to connecting to the existing sewer? Since the Municipality
owns the adjacent greenspace, the Municipality must grant an easement to the developer to access the
sewer line and tie-in. Therefore, Murrysville Council has the authority to prevent the development by
simply denying the necessary easement across this municipal-owned property. Has the Planning
Commission reviewed their Environment Impact Statement? There are potentially two locations of
hibernating bats on the proposed development. It is unlawful to disturb trees acting as their hibernaculum.
Has the developer asked the PA Game Commission to visit the site to assess for critically endangered
species? Has Council received a certification from a registered professional Geotechnical Engineer
regarding impact to her property for soil erosion, sedimentation, and runoff? Has the municipality received
a stormwater plan that correctly adheres to each of these obligations by the developer? Has the
Westmoreland Conservation District granted the NPDES permit? If approved, this development could cause
real harm to adjacent properties. As elected members of the Council and representatives of residents of
Murrysville, she asks that you do your due diligence in adhering to the documented land development
application process and all applicable codes.

Regular Voting Meeting – Tuesday, March 19, 2024
Joe Kiray, 6995 Berkshire Drive: Mr. Kiray stated that at the last meeting, the Vice President of Caliber
Collision said that the New Kensington location was a mistake. That none of their locations were like that
and that every location had a mat under every car to prevent leakage and would collect all the leakage. He
lied. Mr. Kiray stated that he went to five different locations and not one car had a matt or any protection
from leaking fluids. If this is approved, they need to be fined for every violation they have and the second
violation should be doubled. We want the zoning to go back to one property and not separated. The zoning
laws in Murrysville need to be brought up to date. He wants bushes at least 10 foot tall surrounding the
entire perimeter of the property. He wants a fence, not a chain link, all the way around and wants it to be
fireproof. The electric cars you can’t put out with water. Is our fire department able to handle this? A
decorative retaining wall should be put up to the level that the soil is right now with an additional six feet
barrier on top of that as a sound barrier. OSHA should be brought in to supervise the operation of removing
the buried house and horse manure to make sure there is no contamination. We want a double oil filter,
not a single one. These people don’t care about the residents of Manordale. This should not be built. Don’t
approve it.
Cynthia Smith, 6999 Berkshire Drive: She found online, a 10-year Community Vision printed in 2015 and
goes through 2025. The goals for the Comprehensive Plan are to identify what the community wants to
achieve in the coming decade. Two of the main goals of this plan are: 1) To balance development with
conservation to maintain the ambiance and quality of Murrysville neighborhoods; 2) To carefully manage
the community’s growth and promote responsible development by aligning appropriate development
opportunities with realistic infrastructure and services. She asks Councilmembers to think about the goals
of this plan. Some of the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan are: 1) To encourage in-fill and adaptive re-
use development to best utilize existing building stock and compliment appropriate neighborhood land
usage; 2) Encourage retention of long-term residents and attract a new generation of long-term residents;
3) Ensure that quality development compliments established community character and is environmentally
responsible through land-use controls. This development does not encourage in-fill development or
adaptive re-use development, nor does it compliment the existing residential neighborhood of Manordale
Farms. This development does not encourage retention of long-term residents. Would you want this in
your backyard? By voting in favor of this development, you are going against the objectives laid out in this
Comprehensive Plan and are voting against Murrysville’s desires for its community.
Troy Smith, 6999 Berkshire Drive: Mr. Smith stated that they have lived here 4-5 months, and it is very
frustrating for them. You all listen to us, but do you really hear us? If Caliber is able to build behind them,
they had talked about an 8-foot-high privacy fence. We would like it not only protecting in front of their
house but down around the corner, so their neighbors are not affected by it also. They would like more dirt
behind their house, so the trees are raised up higher. Are they going to put a retaining wall up so that the
land doesn’t subside? Since all of the trees are going to be taken down, there is going to be more noise if
something isn’t done back there. They don’t want any lights shining towards their homes. They are
concerned about people turning into Manordale Farms to make a U-turn in their yard. They want to be
protected from this place. They are concerned about hours of operation – no weekend hours and closed at
5:00 p.m. will be a help. When you vote, put yourself in their position. They have a right to build their
business, be we also have rights. There is plenty of space up and down Route 22.
Russ Cepko, 2414 Willow Drive: He sent Mr. Lemak a set of Conditions to be considered along with
additional conditions brought up by residents this evening. Even if all those Conditions were satisfied, the
primary preference for the neighborhood would still be for this not to be built.

Regular Voting Meeting – Tuesday, March 19, 2024
Dr. Alia Pustorino, 6970 Berkshire Drive: She understands the position Council is in as she was an elected
official for eight years in another municipality before moving to Murrysville. They chose Manordale Farms
because it is a safe community. After conversations with the neighbors and reviewing minutes and
proceedings, there is a collective consensus that several things need to happen. Council needs to look
through the ordinances now that you are seeing an intersection of residential and business entities going in
a space together. We are running out of space in Murrysville. A concern she has is related to noise. She
feels it is necessary to have a Traffic Study conducted to determine the noise flow that is existing on the
road because that is going to be compounded by the noise generated from the business. Most collision
centers operate at a minimum decibel level of 85 decibels. The maximum decibels is 65 in the Murrysville
Code. Also, based upon the Murrysville Ordinance under special provisions, any equipment that comes in
must comply with intrusive noise level limits. It is imperative for there to be conversations to think of ways
to proactively address this. She also has concerns about fire suppression systems and would like to see
revisions of their plan to address that.
Ken Bererger, 2411 Willow Drive: Mr. Bererger stated that he did hear a lot of emotion and Council bears
the brunt of that. Peoples’ homes are everything. You hear a lot of “I want, I want, I want” and there are
rights on each side. Instead of hearing “I want”, why don’t you hear “I deserve”. I deserve to have a clean
and safe neighborhood. I deserve to not have the home I bought fundamentally changed. Clearly there is a
ton of stuff to go through. The position Council found itself in is unable to vote NO for fear of this escalating
and Council being in the wrong and ending up in a big mess and it’s a no-win situation. He hopes that
Council can vote NO and be on the right side. We don’t want to be unfair to them, but we don’t want them
to be unfair to us. Please listen to these people and defend and protect the rights of the residents. We
were here first.
LIASONS COMMENTS AND COMMITTEE REPORTS:
Mr. Diacopoulos: He did not attend the Pension meeting, but Mr. Schultz did provide an update. The
invested assets delivered a strong February of gains which offsets some small losses in January. Year-to-
date growth is 2.3% on the Pension Fund. March is already up 1% month-to-date. The next meeting will be
April 11th.
Mrs. Lingg: She was unable to attend the last Planning Commission meeting, but Mr. Lemak subbed for her
and will give the report. The next meeting is April 9th.
Mr. McKenna: The Parks and Recreation meeting got changed and they met tonight. The Easter Egg Hunt
for the kids is going on. Make sure you are registered. The boy scouts will be doing some work at the
Kellman Reserve which has become overgrown. They are looking at different amenities to be added to the
parks and are looking for sponsors for things like concrete tables for chess tables, concrete soccer balls or
baseballs where teams can get their pictures taken, etc. People have sponsored benches for passed family
members. The Parks and Recreation Committee is staff members and volunteers that help with all the
projects and events. The Foundation was created to fund the projects that are needed in the parks. You will
be seeing a lot more and hearing a lot more about fundraising for the parks. Mr. McKenna showed a picture
of the new tent that they will be setting up at events with literature and information.
Mr. Stepanovich: Medic One meets on Thursday. Parks and Recreation Foundation meets on April 8th.

COUNCIL ACTION ITEMS

Ms. Milchak went over the annual insurance policy. Council must approval all contracts including those
covering property, casualty, auto, liability, and professional insurance coverages. The premium is broken
into four sections. 1) Commercial property, automobile, and general liability - $99,236 which is 4.2%
increase from last year. A 2023 dividend is expected from MRM that will help offset this cost by $2,270. 2)
Public Officials Liability is $25,715 – this is a 2.4% increase. 3) Police Professional Liability rate experienced a
decrease of 1.94% or $24,514. 4) Excess Public Officials is $8,586. The total change in premium rates
increased by 2.84%. This increase is lower than what the market is experiencing right now.

tractor, $5,194 for the Flex Wing mower, and $345 for the Brine Sprayer. He was very happy with the

WORKSHOP ITEMS
ADMINISTRATION: None
ENGINEERING: None
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT:
11.A. Discussion regarding SP-4-23, a major land development application, Caliber Collision 6037 William
Penn Highway, for a proposed 12,476 SF auto repair center, Tax Parcel 49-20-00-0-037, B-Business zoning.
Mr. Morrison stated that at the last meeting Council had requested that this meeting be setup to discuss
the proposed Conditions, which are in Council’s drop box. There are 26 Conditions based on discussions
with Caliber, Planning Commission and Council review process.
Mr. Morrison explained the application process. An application is completed by a proposed developer. As
part of the application process, provisions of Chapter 201-Subdivision Land Development Ordinance,
Chapter 220-Zoning Ordinance, and Chapter 93 of the Stormwater Management Ordinance are required to
be met. In order for the Municipality to accept an application, those studies that are required as part of
those ordinances must be completed and presented for review. Once the application is received and
deemed to be relatively complete, it is then forwarded to the reviewing agency and generates the briefing.
At that point, the applicant is then prepared to go to the Planning Commission for a review of the
information provided, which sometimes is several meetings. The Planning Commission reviews it and the
applicant makes the application. The Planning Commission’s responsibility is to make recommendations to
Council. In this case, that occurred sometime after the first of the year. Council then reviews the
recommendation and Conditions by the Planning Commission and add Conditions if so desired. Mr.
Morrison noted that there are different types of Land Use Applications (use by right, use by conditional use,
etc.) This is an application for permitted use in a B-District. Outlined in the Zoning Ordinance are the
provisions that an applicant must meet in order for it to be recommended by the Planning Commission and
considered for approval by Council. Additional Conditions, if applied by the Planning Commission or Council
have to be done by the agreement of the applicant and mutually agreed to. Those conditions are
negotiated and don’t have to be agreed to by the applicant. If Council would deny, those conditions may be
withdrawn. There are 26 proposed Conditions of approval that have been established by results of review
by the Planning Commission, staff, and Council.
Mr. Dice noted that something they have to remember, as Council, is that this is a permitted use. We are
asking the applicant to agree to these Conditions. This is a legal reality. Attorney Long agreed with what
Mr. Morrison and Mr. Dice have stated.
Mr. Morrison stated that Council will condition approval on a development application for items where
vmp -6-

Regular Voting Meeting – Tuesday, March 19, 2024
time is required for them to be received. For example, an NPDES permit, or approvals of the Water
Authority, or FTMSA. Once planning modules and designs are submitted and approved; if in fact they do
not meet those conditions, then work cannot begin. No waivers were used. Everything is by the book and
beyond.
Mr. Sittig stated that he received a copy of the Conditions of Approval. There are not going to be any
Conditions that they don’t accept. Mr. Dice noted that if Council votes no, all of these 26 Conditions are
gone. He wishes it wasn’t there, but he wants these Conditions to minimize the impact that this has on
residents to the best degree this Council can offer. The Conditions were then gone through one by one.
Conditions of Approval
1. The building will be constructed according to the specifications and materials identified in the updated
plans as approved at the April 3, 2024, regular meeting of Murrysville Council. Mr. Sittig noted that
there is not any minimum quality. This is a high quality, attractive building at a much greater expense.
2. A solid, eight (8) foot tall fence will be constructed and maintained on the west side of the property.
Mr. Sittig stated that the elevation of the fence will be built-up to provide the most screening. The
fence is not on the property line. It is the enclosure where the cars will be parked.
3. Additional landscape screening will be installed and maintained on the west side of the property.
4. Exterior building lighting during business hours will be on a timer and will turn on at dusk. Post business
hours, the lighting will be on motion sensors.
5. Exterior building lighting will be shielded to deflect light away from adjacent properties.
6. Grading for stormwater management will be relocated away from the westerly property line.
7. Signage will be consistent with Article VIII, Section 220-88.1 of the Murrysville Municipal Zoning Code
and no additional signage will be requested. Additionally, there shall be no illuminated wall signs on the
west building façade.
8. Vehicles will be stored in a neat and orderly fashion with adequate separation distances and drive
aisles. Mr. Lemak asked that if there is any sign of leakage, that a pad or tray be placed under the
vehicle while it is parked.
9. All vehicles will be stored only in designated parking stalls and will not block access to other stored
vehicles or structures.
10. Hours of operation will be limited to 7:30am to 7pm Monday through Friday and 8am to 1pm on
Saturdays. Mr. Sittig noted that it is unlikely that there will be Saturday hours or open till 7pm. This
would cover if someone needs to come in on a Saturday or if work runs over. These are maximum
hours. The hours of operation will conform with the ordinance.
11. The building will be equipped with garage-style doors to allow cars to enter and exit the facility for
repairs. The building will be served by central heating and air conditioning to facilitate closure of the
garage doors in all weather conditions. Employees will also be directed to minimize the length of time
that the garage doors on the west side of the building remain open during normal operational hours.

must be included. Mr. Sittig stated that they have done additional engineering to make this more
specific to that particular document as to what they are going to do.
18. Applicant is required to show evidence of availability letters for all utilities. Mr. Dice wanted to make
clear that if Murrysville denies the easement, they will still find a way to get sewage. The easement is
just the best way. Attorney Long stated that public sewage is available. It’s just a question of whether it
will go gravity through the parkland, or if it will go up along Route 22.
19. Applicant is to complete air quality study.
20. Applicant is required to provide financial security in the amount of 110% of the municipally-approved

from MAWC and the sanitary sewer service from FTMSA. The applicant will be required to secure all
necessary easements and permits for construction of the waterline and sanitary sewer.

26. If hazardous materials are encountered because of excavation at the site, the Developer shall notify the
Department of Environmental Resources and follow all necessary protocols outlined by DEP to properly
remove any hazardous waste above or below ground within the depth of disturbance prior to any

Mrs. Lingg read a document from Mr. Cepko with Conditions that he and the Manordale Farm residents
suggested.
1) Impact on Traffic - move the entrance further east. Mr. Sittig stated they met with PennDOT
regarding the best location of the driveway and where they are going to permit the driveway.
2) Quality of the stormwater discharge to the existing stream. Mr. Sittig stated that this is a dry basin.
This is not a high-volume discharge.
3) Site sounds and fire risks. Mr. Sitting stated that they have gone above and beyond with the fence
and shrubs. Mr. Stepanovich mentioned electric vehicles. Mr. Sittig stated that they will comply
with all the regulations that evolve from them. Mr. Morrison noted that any development plan
submitted is forwarded to the corresponding fire department and reviewed and commented on.
4) Lighting should be on a timer. Mr. Sittig noted that the lights will be out at 7:00 pm.
5) Increased truck traffic through their neighborhood. Mr. Sittig stated that they can’t control people
and keep them off of a public road. They can look into directional signage to the facility.
6) Compliance at this facility and they want a contract to lodge any complaints. Mr. Sittig stated that
they will provide a suggestion to response to that.
Mr. Dice stated that these were the 26 Conditions incorporated by the staff, Council, Planning Commission,
