The funeral was last week. We remain grateful to him for his many contributions to bettering life in Mt. Lebanon. Mr. Flynn said that Mt. Lebanon wants to communicate with you in many different ways so you’ll always have access to information about your town. We publish a free email newsletter called “Seven Ten” every other week. It’s full of important news you need to know, deadline reminders and links to needed resources, plus a little bit of fun. Sign up today at: www.MtLebanon.org/SevenTen (the words “Seven Ten”) Mr. Flynn announced that the Mt. Lebanon Police Department had to reschedule its annual Car Show due to storms. The rescheduled date is Sunday, September 13 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Minutes of the July 28, 2026 Adjourned Meeting of the Mt. Lebanon Commission Page 2 Washington Road.

Commission President Siegler made a statement about the increase in electric mobility devices in recent months in our community. There was a lot of input from residents asking for something to be done. Initially legislation was considered to restrict when and where these devices could be used. After further consideration, it was realized that our current legislation already addresses these concerns. The public hearing about this was removed from the agenda for those reasons. Mr. Siegler thanked everyone who worked on this matter. Police Chief Haberman spoke about an educational approach for everyone to learn the laws of micromobility devices. He emphasized the need for safety.

Becki Campanaro of 30 Carleton Drive appreciates all the work that went into the E-bike Ordinance, and she says her main concern is safety. Patty Lowe of 750 Washington Square said that she believes education on E-bike safety is important.

Minutes of the July 28, 2026 Adjourned Meeting of the Mt. Lebanon Commission Page 3 Kirill Tropin of 945 Margaretta Avenue said the underlying issue with bicycle safety is lack of bike lanes. Kate Sprehn of 254 Academy Avenue spoke in support of bikes. Marshal Eaton of 1379 Sylvandell Drive suggested a traffic garden. Enzo Zisma of 1050 Summer Place said that E-bikes are helpful on the hills in Mt. Lebanon. Morgan Sulik of 138 Sleepy Hollow Road supports education about E-bikes. Beth McCabe of 104 Shady Drive West supports safe biking suggests putting in a basic bike loop. John Ragan of 777 Shady Drive East says the biggest danger to biking are SUVs. Someone spoke on behalf of Nico Filippini Dull of 623 Oxford Boulevard. They stated that E-bikes are facing negative comments on social media for a few infractions but vehicles have many infractions daily that don’t trigger commentary.

During the public comment agenda item, the chair will recognize you. When recognized, be sure to un-mute your line and announce your name and address for the record. You will have five minutes to comment. BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT: David Hornicak, John Schrott (President), Paul Ostergaard (Vice President) not present, Matthew Clark, Seth Davis online. STAFF MEMBERS PRESENT: Municipal Planner Ian McMeans, Municipal Engineer Dan Deiseroth, Urban Planning and Sustainability Coordinator Greg Wharton, Commission Liaison Jeff Siegler (Absent) Meeting Procedures: The Pennsylvania Office of Open Records has advised that to ensure continued compliance with the Sunshine Act, the procedures for online meetings should be stated at the beginning of the meeting. Virtual attendees who wish to make a comment can use the raise hand function. Meeting Minutes Approval of minutes from June 16, 2026 meeting. David Hornicak moved, and David Hornicak seconded to approve the minutes of June 16, 2026, Planning Board meeting. The motion passed 3-0-1, with Matthew Clark abstaining. Old Business There was no old business on the agenda. New Business a. Request for preliminary approval and recommendation for final approval of a site plan. King Crust/ Treats and Beans is situated at 1105 Bower Hill Rd, in the C-1 Zoning District. The owner is requesting a partial change in the use of the first floor of the building for a kitchen production area. In 2017, this property was granted approval for a site plan, with the condition that any change in the usage and square footage of the building required a new approval. Brian Pagnotta was in attendance on behalf of the owner. There was no engineer’s letter as the application was use-related. Mt. Lebanon Planning Board Minutes June 16, 2026 Page 2 Ian McMeans summarized the previous approval for the site in 2017, noting the Commission approved the site plan with the condition that if the internal square footage of any uses changed, the property owner must obtain a revised site plan approval. Mr. McMeans summarized administrative comments on the plans. To move forward on the submitted applications, several items need to be addressed: i. Proof of ability to make application on behalf of the property owner. The application came from the owner of Treats and Beans, which is a tenant in the building at 1105 Bower Hill Road. Authorization from the property owner needs to be provided. ii. Plans accurately reflecting uses of building and associated parking requirements. Planning staff conducted a site visit and noted several items not accurately reflected in the submitted plans. The second story of the existing building is not being used for the uses permitted by the Commission in the 2017 approval. The October 30, 2017 letter specifically states the second floor could only be used for “company offices and storage area.” The space designated on the approved plans as “storage area” is being used as a dining room with tables, chairs, a sink, televisions, and table games. The space designated on the plans for “company offices,” intended to be used for the offices for King Crust (originally approved as “Pizza Care, LLC”), is being rented to another tenant who is conducting a notary and consulting business in this space. Sheet A-2 of the submitted site plan states “No change in use/occupancy, company offices and storage area”, which is not how these spaces are being used. iii. Proof of compliance with parking standards must be provided. Sheet A-0 of the submitted plans shows the parking tabulations for the square footage that was approved in 2017. The “Parking Tabulation” box shows what was originally approved for Life is Sweet Bakery in 2003 and the “Revised Parking Tabulation” shows what was approved in 2017 for the Pizza Care, LLC (now “King Crust”). This table shows the parking requirements for 234 square feet of retail area, 0 square feet of office area, and 312 square feet of seating area. These are the dimensions that were approved by the Commission in 2017 and noted in the October 30, 2017 letter. The submitted plan set does not detail the new square footages by use and the associated parking requirements as detailed in Chapter 20, Section 817 of the Municipal code. Given that the parking requirements for a property cover the entire building, the uses on the second floor must also be factored into the parking calculations. Proof of sufficient parking to meet the uses of the building must be provided. iv. Compliance with building and fire codes must be provided. On Sheet A-2 of the submitted plans, a table with seating is shown in front of an existing closet space. Additionally, a site visit by municipal staff revealed other seating is placed in front of doorways throughout the structure. v. Existing building and property maintenance code issues should be addressed. In a review of the application with Mt. Lebanon’s building inspection office, it was noted that the property has several existing building and code violations which have not been addressed. David Hornicak motioned and Matthew Clark seconded the motion to table preliminary approval to allow the applicant the opportunity to submit a revised site plan reflecting the actual uses of all Mt. Lebanon Planning Board Minutes June 16, 2026 Page 3 stories of the building, ability to file the site plan, accurate parking calculations based on uses, and to address outstanding building code violations, and other administrative comments which Ian McMeans previously addressed. The motion carried 4-0. Citizen Comments John Becker, 750 Washington Road, read a letter from the Washington Square Condo Association related to the upcoming South Garage reconstruction project. Next Meeting The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Mt. Lebanon Planning Board is Tuesday, August 18, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. All municipal meetings now have a Zoom webinar component to enable residents to attend meetings either virtually or in person. Adjournment Matthew Clark moved and Seth Davis seconded to adjourn the Planning Board meeting. The motion passed unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 7:18 p.m.
