Brentwood Borough Council will hold a pair of public hearings prior to its upcoming sessions. On August 17th, the body will hear testimony pertaining to a request by John Slater to amend the Brentwood Zoning Map. The applicant is specifically seeking to change the classification of the parcel at 201 Wainwright Avenue to the mixed-use district to facilitate the construction of a parking lot on the site of a single-family home. On August 24th, the board will review two matters. Ravish Gandhi is seeking a conditional use permit to operate an adult daycare facility in a commercial suite at 4411 Stilley Road. Comments will also be solicited on a proposed ordinance to regulate short-term rental units.

To quell the spread of the coronavirus, no more than 25 people, which includes Borough officials and the project applicants, may be physically present in Council Chambers. Individuals may remotely participate via video conferencing software or phone through Microsoft Teams. Additionally, written comment may be submitted in advance to epeccon @ brentwoodboro.com.

In order to protect our natural environment from harmful materials, regulations for the collection of refuse have been significantly tightened in recent decades. While these actions are vital from a public health perspective, they also make the disposal of certain common household goods difficult. Although several area nonprofit organizations work admirably to fill this service gap by offering periodic hard-to-recycle collection events, Brentwood recognizes that requiring residents to gather unwanted goods in a basement or garage and then to haul these items to an outlying municipality poses an inconvenience. The Borough additionally acknowledges that a lack of a local disposal option unfortunately encourages some individuals to discard these materials illegally. Beginning August 1st, a curbside solution is arriving in our community. Brentwood has contracted with Waste Management to offer a household hazardous waste collection program to residential customers. This initiative allows for the no cost disposal of automotive products, household chemicals, lawn & garden chemicals, pool chemicals, paint products, and electronics. Note that residents remain prohibited from placing these items at the curb on their regular refuse collection day. Rather, customers will contact Waste Management directly at 800-449-7587 or via www.wmatyourdoor.com to schedule an appointment. For more information, please view the attached flyer.

In order to assist municipalities with returning abandoned parcels to the tax rolls, the Allegheny County Department of Economic Development sponsors the Vacant Property Recovery Program. Through August 31, this agency will be waving its standard $3,000 application fee for any individual who seeks to purchase an adjoining lot that does not contain a building; the fee will be reduced to $1,400 for any property owner who proposes to rehabilitate a vacant structure. This program can only be utilized to procure properties that are less than ½ acre in size and that are at least three years delinquent on real estate taxes. Applicants must not be delinquent with taxes, sewage fees, or refuse fees on any property owned within the boundaries of Allegheny County; individuals are additionally ineligible if there are any outstanding code violations on such properties. A completed application, which is available here, must be returned to the Allegheny County Department of Economic Development by September 30th.

As better-than-exepcted news on the trajectory of the novel coronavirus has led to a general loosening of pandemic-related restrictions in Allegheny County, Brentwood Borough is also preparing to remove additional limitations to its operations.

  • Beginning June 9th, the municipal building lobby will be opened to visitors. The use of masks is a mandatory condition of entry. Face-to-face meetings with individual employees are strongly discouraged, and all business should be conducted at the administrative and/or police clerical counter to the greatest extent possible.
  • Members of the public may attend meetings of Council in person, but a remote option will remain available via Microsoft Teams. The Planning Commission and Zoning Hearing Board meetings will also return to their duties.
  • The Police Department has returned to its regular schedule. In order to limit officer exposure, individuals are still encouraged to submit non-emergency requests via Crimewatch and to utilize CrashDocs for accident reports.
  • Building inspections will now take place in person. The Borough will continue to use Microsoft Teams to conduct virtual occupancy inspections.
  • The majority of Brentwood Park was reopened on June 5th. Restrictions will be placed on the number of individuals that can utilize each facility at any one time. The playground and the pavilion remain closed. Exercise courses will resume June 8th. The community room will be available for rent at a reduced capacity.

During its May business meetings, Council authorized the advertising of the following pieces of legislation:

  • Ordinance No. 1289, which would update Chapter 162 of the Borough Code to confirm the municipality's use of the 2018 edition of the International Property Maintenance Code.
  • Ordinance No. 1290, which would update Chapter 186 of the Borough Code to remove inconsistencies between municipal and state swimming pool installation requirements.
  • Ordinance No. 1291, which would authorize the installation of five new stop signs.

It is anticipated that a final vote on these matters will take place on June 22nd.

As the effects of the novel coronavirus continue to cause profound economic stress, it is recognized than many families are now struggling to pay for basic necessities. Residents who are in need of assistance with maintaining access to food are encouraged to attend an upcoming drive-through distribution. The Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank and local nonprofit SHIM will be providing three prepackaged boxes of food to up to 1000 vehicles. The event will take place on Saturday, May 16th, from 11AM to 1PM at South Hills Village.
