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.
During its May business meetings, Council authorized the advertising of the following pieces of legislation:
It is anticipated that a final vote on these matters will take place on June 22nd.
