These funds should be able to target approximately 10-15 qualified homes within the City for rehabilitation. This program is very similar to awards received in the past and will be administered in the same manner.

PUBLIC COMMENTS  Mr. Piccirilli opened the public comments.  Lee DeVita, 398 Ellis Avenue, questioned how the mobile home or trailer came to be permitted on Meadowbrook Road. He interpreted the Hermitage Code and Zoning information as al home should be on a: foundation, not on wheels and with a basement and that no trailer should be on a vacant lot. He asked ifit is an issue with the language. He knows HUD changed the language in the 1980s. Attorney Stedman replied that the owner was issued a Certificate of Occupancy (COO). Meaning under the Uniform Construction Code you are permitted to occupy the premises in the manner for which you applied. No matter where in Pennsylvania - ifa manufactured home of any sort is moved onto the premises - that is regulated by federal regulations, and they are required to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy. Mr. Squatrito asked ifthe City'sb building codes state they have to be tied down. Mr. Stedman replied that the UCC requires that they are. The City staff did verify that. They follow the United States Housing and Urban Development regulations for manufactured home installation. Those regulations require that it cannot be installed on a floating pad, it cannot have wheels and it must be anchored to a permanent foundation - usually aj pier type foundation and is only installed by installers licensed through HUD. Afterinstallation, and before the City issues a COO, the installeri is required to submit a form stating the home was installed with regulations. In this case all oft that  was done.    There being no further comments, Mr. Piccirilli closed the public comments.  DEPARTMENT REPORTS  Mr. Hinkson reviewed the department reports and there were no questions.  Mr. Moder asked what will be built where they are clearing trees across from the Walmart entrance at the traffic light. Mr. Hinkson replied that that is the proposed McAlister's Deli site.

Piccirilli called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. in the Commissioners' Meeting Room in the Hermitage Municipal Building located at 800 North Hermitage Road, Hermitage, PA.  Members in attendance were:  Duane Piccirilli, President William J. Moder, III, Vice-President Louis E. Squatrito, Jr., Member Cameron S.

PUBLICC COMMENTS  Mr. Piccirilli opened the public comments.  Roger Briggs, 2505 Romar Drive, Hermitage commented on1 the City's Ordinance No. 2-2019 regarding inspection of property in the City. He believes it violates his civil rights and the State and Federal Constitution and asked for an explanation. He stated that (the City) does not have the right to goi intol homes. In his opinion the City needs to modify it into a form where it is legal. He: referenced the letter that went out in 2019 to all landlords and renters in the City that states the inspection will require each non-owner occupied unit to be inspected. He pays rent every month. He believes anyone with ai mortgage does not own their own home -1 the bank does. Attorney Stedman replied that he wrote the policy. He: is confident it is in compliance with local, state and federal law. John Styduhar, 590 Westinghouse Boulevard, Hermitage thanked the City and Commissioners for clearing an area at the end ofthe road where hel lives. He went on to express the primary reason for his attendance was to show the Commissioners three bullets that went through his garage, hit the front of1 his house and was found in his garden. He lives near the shooting range owned by the Sharon FOP. It has been there a long time, but there are problems with ricocheting bullets and errant firing from that range into his neighborhood. He has called the non-emergency 911 number when people were shooting there after hours and they sent a Hermitage police officer. The officer told him to contact the Sharon FOP. When he called the FOP they said it's within the City of] Hermitage jurisdiction SO whatever requirements they impose on the range the FOP will address them. He    believes the range has an insufficient backstop to capture bullets and iti is configured where they have an mini shooting area behind the main embankment. There is also a park with kids playing ball in the field next to shooting range. (Gun) permits can be obtained at Warehouse Sales and non-law enforcement people can go out there. The range has no on-site management. Mr. Styduhar feels there needs to be an on-site manager there ift the public is going to be allowed to shoot there. They are never going to get rid of the shooting range, but they could make it safer. A petition was signed in 1991 regarding the same concerns, but nothing was done about it. They can have a safer design and management. Gary Hinkson stated that the City could follow up and take a look at the range's access  and staffing with the Sharon FOP.  There being no further comments, Mr. Piccirilli closed the public comments.  AGENDA REVIEW  There were: no changes to the agenda.  COMMENTS  No additional comments were: made by the Commissioners. The work session adjourned at 6:17 p.m. to go into the regular meeting.  Respectfully submitted,  Gary P. Hinkson May 28, 2024
