Drive and um We, I just learned about this. plan to divide. Um, 00:08:13.949 --> 00:08:17.550
about this. plan to divide. Um, this plot into 3. And I don't
00:08:17.552 --> 00:08:19.219
this plot into 3. And I don't know if we get to vote on that
00:08:19.221 --> 00:08:21.221
know if we get to vote on that or not, but I don't agree with 00:08:21.223 --> 00:08:22.822
or not, but I don't agree with it. I don't think it just, it
00:08:22.824 --> 00:08:26.827
it. I don't think it just, it just came out of the blue, um,
00:08:26.829 --> 00:08:28.228
just came out of the blue, um, The area surrounding the
00:08:28.230 --> 00:08:30.831
The area surrounding the neighborhood um is changing, uh, 00:08:30.833 --> 00:08:32.665
neighborhood um is changing, uh, with no thought or connection
00:08:32.667 --> 00:08:34.568
with no thought or connection to wildlife and green space. I
00:08:34.570 --> 00:08:36.569
to wildlife and green space. I moved here for the green space
00:08:36.571 --> 00:08:39.706
moved here for the green space within the city. Um, as
00:08:39.708 --> 00:08:40.841
within the city. Um, as developers gobble up green 00:08:40.843 --> 00:08:43.576
developers gobble up green spaces, we are forced to live
00:08:43.578 --> 00:08:45.245
spaces, we are forced to live in urban areas that once were
00:08:45.247 --> 00:08:49.749
in urban areas that once were filled with beauty. Um The
00:08:49.751 --> 00:08:51.117
filled with beauty. Um The person that is applying for to 00:08:51.119 --> 00:08:54.254
person that is applying for to break it up into 3 plots bought
00:08:54.256 --> 00:08:56.990
break it up into 3 plots bought a 100 year old house with green
00:08:56.992 --> 00:09:00.260
a 100 year old house with green space. That is probably Way 00:09:00.262 --> 00:09:03.863
space. That is probably Way older. Then, before the house
00:09:03.865 --> 00:09:05.198
older. Then, before the house was even built, that place was
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:08.935
was even built, that place was there. Um Removing and chopping
00:09:08.937 --> 00:09:11.337
there. Um Removing and chopping away at the space to put 3 00:09:11.339 --> 00:09:12.939
away at the space to put 3 plots on it will encroach upon
00:09:12.941 --> 00:09:15.475
plots on it will encroach upon the neighbors. Destroy the
00:09:15.477 --> 00:09:17.410
the neighbors. Destroy the habitat and change. The makeup
00:09:17.412 --> 00:09:21.481
habitat and change. The makeup of the neighborhood. Greenhaven 00:09:21.483 --> 00:09:22.682
of the neighborhood. Greenhaven is a sanctuary from the hustle
00:09:22.684 --> 00:09:24.284
is a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of the city. Most
00:09:24.286 --> 00:09:25.485
and bustle of the city. Most people don't even know that
00:09:25.487 --> 00:09:28.488
people don't even know that it's there. When you come into
00:09:28.490 --> 00:09:30.156
it's there. When you come into our neighborhood, it's quiet, 00:09:30.158 --> 00:09:31.925
our neighborhood, it's quiet, it's beautiful. We have
00:09:31.927 --> 00:09:33.159
it's beautiful. We have wildlife that once you start
00:09:33.161 --> 00:09:36.096
wildlife that once you start tearing it up, We lose all that.
00:09:36.098 --> 00:09:42.368
tearing it up, We lose all that. I don't know why somebody would 00:09:42.370 --> 00:09:44.570
I don't know why somebody would want to move here. To our
00:09:44.572 --> 00:09:48.908
want to move here. To our neighborhood. To break it up.
00:09:48.910 --> 00:09:52.511
neighborhood. To break it up. And destroy all that. It's very 00:09:52.513 --> 00:09:57.784
And destroy all that. It's very emotional. It's not just A
00:09:57.786 --> 00:09:59.185
emotional. It's not just A bunch of people living Harry
00:09:59.187 --> 00:10:02.055
bunch of people living Harry Carey. We're just we're. We 00:10:02.057 --> 00:10:06.393
Carey. We're just we're. We want to maintain That Um, I
00:10:06.395 --> 00:10:08.261
want to maintain That Um, I consider this to be urban
00:10:08.263 --> 00:10:10.229
consider this to be urban sprawl coming into our 00:10:10.231 --> 00:10:11.331
sprawl coming into our neighborhood, um, and once the
00:10:11.333 --> 00:10:13.466
neighborhood, um, and once the damage is done, there's no
00:10:13.468 --> 00:10:16.502
damage is done, there's no return to that quiet. that
00:10:16.504 --> 00:10:18.605
return to that quiet. that beauty and a space for the
00:10:18.607 --> 00:10:20.539
beauty and a space for the animals, for us to step outside 00:10:20.541 --> 00:10:22.141
animals, for us to step outside that door and be in the middle
00:10:22.143 --> 00:10:23.343
that door and be in the middle of the wildlife, the turkeys,
00:10:23.345 --> 00:10:27.747
of the wildlife, the turkeys, the The woodpeckers, the Even
00:10:27.749 --> 00:10:29.148
the The woodpeckers, the Even the coyote and we'll lose that.
00:10:29.150 --> 00:10:30.817
the coyote and we'll lose that. We have enough of that with 81 00:10:30.819 --> 00:10:32.752
We have enough of that with 81 is being gobbled up. As we
00:10:32.754 --> 00:10:35.488
is being gobbled up. As we speak, we see it all the trees
00:10:35.490 --> 00:10:36.690
speak, we see it all the trees and all that being taken away.
00:10:36.692 --> 00:10:41.060
and all that being taken away. So. I hope there's a chance. 00:10:41.062 --> 00:10:42.495
So. I hope there's a chance. That this isn't already decided
00:10:42.497 --> 00:10:44.897
That this isn't already decided to allow this to happen because
00:10:44.899 --> 00:10:47.700
to allow this to happen because it's not just one person.
00:10:47.702 --> 00:10:49.602
it's not just one person. Living there. It's a whole
00:10:49.604 --> 00:10:50.637
Living there. It's a whole community, and it's important 00:10:50.639 --> 00:11:02.983
community, and it's important to us. That's all I have. All 00:11:02.985 --> 00:11:03.983
to us. That's all I have. All right. Anyone else, uh, would
00:11:03.985 --> 00:11:16.596
right. Anyone else, uh, would like to speak to this, Adam? 00:11:16.598 --> 00:11:17.997
like to speak to this, Adam? Hello, my name is Tasha Paika,
00:11:17.999 --> 00:11:20.400
Hello, my name is Tasha Paika, and I also live on Green Haven 00:11:20.402 --> 00:11:22.068
and I also live on Green Haven Drive, um, I've had the
00:11:22.070 --> 00:11:24.270
Drive, um, I've had the opportunity to live there for
00:11:24.272 --> 00:11:26.338
opportunity to live there for about 8 years now, and as
00:11:26.340 --> 00:11:30.076
about 8 years now, and as Nicole did say, it is a little 00:11:30.078 --> 00:11:31.344
Nicole did say, it is a little sanctuary in the urban area
00:11:31.346 --> 00:11:35.281
sanctuary in the urban area that we now live in. Uh, it's
00:11:35.283 --> 00:11:36.883
that we now live in. Uh, it's like coming home and not just
00:11:36.885 --> 00:11:40.153
like coming home and not just our house, but the area. Our 00:11:40.155 --> 00:11:41.754
our house, but the area. Our neighbors are very close, um,
00:11:41.756 --> 00:11:43.189
neighbors are very close, um, we consider each other family.
00:11:43.191 --> 00:11:47.427
we consider each other family. We are there for each other by
00:11:47.429 --> 00:11:49.796
We are there for each other by dividing up this neighborhood
00:11:49.798 --> 00:11:52.165
dividing up this neighborhood and this plot just brings in 00:11:52.167 --> 00:11:55.167
and this plot just brings in more and more. Development that
00:11:55.169 --> 00:11:56.369
more and more. Development that doesn't need to be done in this
00:11:56.371 --> 00:12:01.140
doesn't need to be done in this area. Unfortunately, Greenhaven 00:12:01.142 --> 00:12:04.077
area. Unfortunately, Greenhaven Drive is considered now a main
00:12:04.079 --> 00:12:05.979
Drive is considered now a main thoroughfare because it
00:12:05.981 --> 00:12:08.915
thoroughfare because it connects Brooklyn Boulevard and
00:12:08.917 --> 00:12:10.784
connects Brooklyn Boulevard and '81. And unfortunately, nobody 00:12:10.786 --> 00:12:13.386
'81. And unfortunately, nobody has ever seem to do anything
00:12:13.388 --> 00:12:14.254
has ever seem to do anything about this becoming a main
00:12:14.256 --> 00:12:17.590
about this becoming a main thoroughfare. Adding more
00:12:17.592 --> 00:12:19.058
thoroughfare. Adding more houses and more development to
00:12:19.060 --> 00:12:21.961
houses and more development to this neighborhood is only going 00:12:21.963 --> 00:12:23.997
this neighborhood is only going to increase the traffic and we
00:12:23.999 --> 00:12:25.531
to increase the traffic and we have children who are wanting
00:12:25.533 --> 00:12:28.734
have children who are wanting to walk. They are wanting to
00:12:28.736 --> 00:12:30.804
to walk. They are wanting to ride their bikes by splitting 00:12:30.806 --> 00:12:33.539
ride their bikes by splitting this up, it's only going to
00:12:33.541 --> 00:12:35.075
this up, it's only going to increase the likelihood of
00:12:35.077 --> 00:12:40.079
increase the likelihood of injury, not to mention the the 00:12:40.081 --> 00:12:44.684
injury, not to mention the the quietness that we have there.
00:12:44.686 --> 00:12:47.987
quietness that we have there. 8609 Greenhaven Drive. is
00:12:47.989 --> 00:12:49.455
8609 Greenhaven Drive. is slated for residential. However,
00:12:49.457 --> 00:12:50.490
slated for residential. However, there is a business running out 00:12:50.492 --> 00:12:54.360
there is a business running out of there. We have so much
00:12:54.362 --> 00:12:56.562
of there. We have so much traffic because of that one
00:12:56.564 --> 00:12:58.531
traffic because of that one business in a residential area
00:12:58.533 --> 00:13:00.933
business in a residential area that I'm afraid that once we 00:13:00.935 --> 00:13:02.368
that I'm afraid that once we start dividing this up, these
00:13:02.370 --> 00:13:04.403
start dividing this up, these other plats, we're just gonna
00:13:04.405 --> 00:13:07.240
other plats, we're just gonna add more traffic. It's already
00:13:07.242 --> 00:13:09.375
add more traffic. It's already difficult with so many people
00:13:09.377 --> 00:13:12.111
difficult with so many people parking on the street. If we 00:13:12.113 --> 00:13:14.113
parking on the street. If we start adding more, that just
00:13:14.115 --> 00:13:16.449
start adding more, that just increases the danger to our
00:13:16.451 --> 00:13:19.252
increases the danger to our children, to our pets, to our
00:13:19.254 --> 00:13:22.321
children, to our pets, to our family. I beg of you to please 00:13:22.323 --> 00:13:25.525
family. I beg of you to please reconsider this. It is not in
00:13:25.527 --> 00:13:27.593
reconsider this. It is not in the best interest of our
00:13:27.595 --> 00:13:29.929
the best interest of our neighborhood, and I want you to
00:13:29.931 --> 00:13:31.864
neighborhood, and I want you to please try to keep the best 00:13:31.866 --> 00:13:33.332
please try to keep the best interest of the neighborhood
00:13:33.334 --> 00:13:46.712
interest of the neighborhood and of the community in mind. 00:13:46.714 --> 00:13:48.615

people couldn't afford to own those lots anymore and pay 00:14:30.191 --> 00:14:31.590
those lots anymore and pay taxes on them, so they all got
00:14:31.592 --> 00:14:35.061
taxes on them, so they all got built. But this, that was done.
00:14:35.063 --> 00:14:36.495

spoken at great lengths with the property owner and I'm not
00:21:03.318 --> 00:21:06.251
the property owner and I'm not at liberty to discuss the
00:21:06.253 --> 00:21:06.852
at liberty to discuss the personal situation that
00:21:06.854 --> 00:21:08.721
personal situation that resulted in this, however,
00:21:08.723 --> 00:21:11.123
resulted in this, however, there was personal situations 00:21:11.125 --> 00:21:13.058
there was personal situations that she wished to maintain
00:21:13.060 --> 00:21:15.193

00:21:15.195 --> 00:21:16.462
residence in the home and needed to find a way to make

Commissioner Turner, members of the commission, you know, it's
00:21:35.149 --> 00:21:36.248
the commission, you know, it's also just important to add that,
00:21:36.250 --> 00:21:38.818
also just important to add that, you know, as you know, zoning
00:21:38.820 --> 00:21:40.119
you know, as you know, zoning regulations are independent of 00:21:40.121 --> 00:21:42.221
regulations are independent of ownership of the property, um,
00:21:42.223 --> 00:21:44.390
ownership of the property, um, and that, you know, um, It can
00:21:44.392 --> 00:21:46.958
and that, you know, um, It can be the first corner, the 300th
00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:48.761
be the first corner, the 300th owner, um, and the, the owner
00:21:48.763 --> 00:21:50.896
owner, um, and the, the owner after that, uh, those zoning 00:21:50.898 --> 00:21:51.564
after that, uh, those zoning zoning regulations don't go
00:21:51.566 --> 00:21:53.032
zoning regulations don't go with the person, they go with
00:21:53.034 --> 00:21:55.701
with the person, they go with the property, um, and so, you
00:21:55.703 --> 00:21:57.870
the property, um, and so, you know, the, the zoning
00:21:57.872 --> 00:21:59.338
know, the, the zoning regulations, the subdivision
00:21:59.340 --> 00:22:00.840
regulations, the subdivision regulations that that apply 00:22:00.842 --> 00:22:02.508
regulations that that apply here in the Soing district have
00:22:02.510 --> 00:22:03.709
here in the Soing district have essentially been there for
00:22:03.711 --> 00:22:07.379
essentially been there for decades, uh, and this property
00:22:07.381 --> 00:22:09.048
decades, uh, and this property has had um those regulations
00:22:09.050 --> 00:22:11.450
has had um those regulations applied to it for decades, and 00:22:11.452 --> 00:22:12.852
applied to it for decades, and therefore the right. That the
00:22:12.854 --> 00:22:14.753
therefore the right. That the property has, not the person,
00:22:14.755 --> 00:22:16.588
property has, not the person, that the property has to be
00:22:16.590 --> 00:22:17.923
that the property has to be subdivided, uh, according to
00:22:17.925 --> 00:22:19.124
subdivided, uh, according to the regulations of the zoning
00:22:19.126 --> 00:22:21.394
the regulations of the zoning deck, uh, zoning regulations, 00:22:21.396 --> 00:22:22.862
deck, uh, zoning regulations, uh, has been there for a long
00:22:22.864 --> 00:22:24.863
uh, has been there for a long time as well. Um, so it's, you
00:22:24.865 --> 00:22:28.067
time as well. Um, so it's, you know, this is really, um, it's
00:22:28.069 --> 00:22:29.167
know, this is really, um, it's obviously an emotional thing,
00:22:29.169 --> 00:22:31.603
obviously an emotional thing, uh, it's, it's a change to the 00:22:31.605 --> 00:22:34.406
uh, it's, it's a change to the neighborhood, um, but it's
00:22:34.408 --> 00:22:35.741
neighborhood, um, but it's something that is uh from uh
00:22:35.743 --> 00:22:36.875
something that is uh from uh the standpoint of the city and
00:22:36.877 --> 00:22:38.878
the standpoint of the city and your role as a commission is
00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:39.945
your role as a commission is quite objective. It doesn't
00:22:39.947 --> 00:22:41.414
quite objective. It doesn't meet the standards or not, uh, 00:22:41.416 --> 00:22:42.214

an agreement with something nearby. Did it say what nearby
00:38:51.951 --> 00:38:53.251
nearby. Did it say what nearby and what if that goes away,

the south, like on the bottom of the screen, um, so they have 00:39:21.615 --> 00:39:24.015
of the screen, um, so they have different times of day that the
00:39:24.017 --> 00:39:24.683
different times of day that the build the businesses operate so
00:39:24.685 --> 00:39:26.350
build the businesses operate so they have an agreement that the
00:39:26.352 --> 00:39:27.552
they have an agreement that the crematorium can use the
00:39:27.554 --> 00:39:28.886
crematorium can use the church's parking lot and vice
00:39:28.888 --> 00:39:29.954
church's parking lot and vice versa depending on the time of
00:39:29.956 --> 00:39:32.424
versa depending on the time of day that's being used. Um, I 00:39:32.426 --> 00:39:34.525
day that's being used. Um, I don't know what happens if the
00:39:34.527 --> 00:39:37.362
don't know what happens if the building were to be um.
00:39:37.364 --> 00:39:38.796
building were to be um. Redeveloped, but it was the
00:39:38.798 --> 00:39:39.430
Redeveloped, but it was the crematorium probably is not
00:39:39.432 --> 00:39:47.305
crematorium probably is not gonna go away, so. Commissioner 00:39:47.307 --> 00:39:49.240

the estimated. Uh, number of the congregation in the short
00:40:06.659 --> 00:40:10.394

run, um, period. Uh, and, uh, does it uh goes. Part one is
00:40:12.532 --> 00:40:14.465
does it uh goes. Part one is that it goes with any units of
00:40:14.467 --> 00:40:17.401
that it goes with any units of the parking lot, uh, if If yes,
00:40:17.403 --> 00:40:22.340
the parking lot, uh, if If yes, that's fine. If not, Like uh 00:40:22.342 --> 00:40:25.076
that's fine. If not, Like uh any uh modification or any plan
00:40:25.078 --> 00:40:28.747
any uh modification or any plan modification to meet. Um, the
00:40:28.749 --> 00:40:30.482
modification to meet. Um, the two, the number of congregation. 00:40:30.484 --> 00:40:35.887
two, the number of congregation. With, uh, like minimum. number
00:40:35.889 --> 00:40:38.589
With, uh, like minimum. number of parking that is required. Uh,
00:40:38.591 --> 00:40:42.026
of parking that is required. Uh, for the service. Thank you. um. 00:40:42.028 --> 00:40:44.496
for the service. Thank you. um. Church gave and members of the
00:40:44.498 --> 00:40:45.029
Church gave and members of the planning commission the
00:40:45.031 --> 00:40:46.364
planning commission the required, I don't know the
00:40:46.366 --> 00:40:48.366
required, I don't know the congregation size, but the
00:40:48.368 --> 00:40:50.367
congregation size, but the required parking is 115 pounds. 00:40:50.369 --> 00:40:52.203
required parking is 115 pounds. So between the 80 stalls um for
00:40:52.205 --> 00:40:53.705
So between the 80 stalls um for the applicant and then the 44
00:40:53.707 --> 00:40:55.173
the applicant and then the 44 for the crematorium, they do
00:40:55.175 --> 00:40:56.441
for the crematorium, they do meet their 115 parking stall
00:40:56.443 --> 00:41:00.445
meet their 115 parking stall requirement. Does that answer 00:41:00.447 --> 00:41:02.647
requirement. Does that answer your question? yeah, partially.
00:41:02.649 --> 00:41:05.383
your question? yeah, partially. So if it is a yeah, uh, it
00:41:05.385 --> 00:41:07.585
So if it is a yeah, uh, it gives some data, but it says,
00:41:07.587 --> 00:41:10.588
gives some data, but it says, uh, like on the page. I think 00:41:10.590 --> 00:41:11.856
uh, like on the page. I think the first page towards the
00:41:11.858 --> 00:41:13.391
the first page towards the bottom, the parking, the
00:41:13.393 --> 00:41:18.129
bottom, the parking, the parking is going to be reduced
00:41:18.131 --> 00:41:22.200
parking is going to be reduced from 98 to 80 parking spots. So, 00:41:22.202 --> 00:41:25.536
from 98 to 80 parking spots. So, so that doesn't uh meet with
00:41:25.538 --> 00:41:27.572
so that doesn't uh meet with your requirement. So do you
00:41:27.574 --> 00:41:32.544
your requirement. So do you guys have any plan? To modify, 00:41:32.546 --> 00:41:34.212
guys have any plan? To modify, uh, so that the minimum
00:41:34.214 --> 00:41:35.746
uh, so that the minimum requirement of a parking spot
00:41:35.748 --> 00:41:37.748
requirement of a parking spot would be available for Uh, this
00:41:37.750 --> 00:41:40.018
would be available for Uh, this development. members of the 00:41:40.020 --> 00:41:41.085
development. members of the planning commission, thank you
00:41:41.087 --> 00:41:43.220
planning commission, thank you for the question. I think the,
00:41:43.222 --> 00:41:46.390
for the question. I think the, the The number of parking
00:41:46.392 --> 00:41:47.358
the The number of parking stalls required is 115, and
00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:48.693
stalls required is 115, and they can meet that either on
00:41:48.695 --> 00:41:51.195
they can meet that either on site or with this cross parking 00:41:51.197 --> 00:41:51.896
site or with this cross parking agreement with the neighboring
00:41:51.898 --> 00:41:55.967
agreement with the neighboring um. The neighboring business
00:41:55.969 --> 00:41:56.901
um. The neighboring business and we do recommend cross
00:41:56.903 --> 00:41:57.869
and we do recommend cross parking agreements when we can
00:41:57.871 --> 00:41:59.837
parking agreements when we can because we don't want to have
00:41:59.839 --> 00:42:00.505
because we don't want to have additional pavement and 00:42:00.507 --> 00:42:01.372
additional pavement and additional parking that's not
00:42:01.374 --> 00:42:02.773
additional parking that's not needed. So this is actually
00:42:02.775 --> 00:42:03.508
needed. So this is actually something that we encourage as
00:42:03.510 --> 00:42:10.181
something that we encourage as a city. So yeah, they have 80 00:42:10.183 --> 00:42:11.716
a city. So yeah, they have 80 parking installs, but next door
00:42:11.718 --> 00:42:14.018
parking installs, but next door is the cremation, um, and they
00:42:14.020 --> 00:42:16.454
is the cremation, um, and they have an agreement, parking
00:42:16.456 --> 00:42:18.389
have an agreement, parking agreement which has 40 parking
00:42:18.391 --> 00:42:22.326
agreement which has 40 parking stalls, so 80 + 40 gets you up 00:42:22.328 --> 00:42:24.662
stalls, so 80 + 40 gets you up to 120 stalls. That's That can
00:42:24.664 --> 00:42:28.332
to 120 stalls. That's That can be used. I don't not the
00:42:28.334 --> 00:42:29.067
be used. I don't not the parking agreement is included
00:42:29.069 --> 00:42:30.534
parking agreement is included in the packet if you'd like to 00:42:30.536 --> 00:42:36.941
in the packet if you'd like to review that. Thank you You know,
00:42:36.943 --> 00:42:40.077
review that. Thank you You know, I do have, oh, go ahead, sorry. 00:42:40.079 --> 00:42:41.679
I do have, oh, go ahead, sorry. Commissioner Fraser. Yeah, just
00:42:41.681 --> 00:42:43.414
Commissioner Fraser. Yeah, just to follow up on the parking
00:42:43.416 --> 00:42:47.385
to follow up on the parking question. So with the addition
00:42:47.387 --> 00:42:50.354
question. So with the addition Is there a projected to be 00:42:50.356 --> 00:42:56.827
Is there a projected to be increased in um. The number of
00:42:56.829 --> 00:42:59.263
increased in um. The number of attendees and service that
00:42:59.265 --> 00:43:01.299
attendees and service that would push that parking 00:43:01.301 --> 00:43:03.568
would push that parking requirement up so I'm trying to
00:43:03.570 --> 00:43:06.871
requirement up so I'm trying to gauge whether the addition is
00:43:06.873 --> 00:43:09.707
gauge whether the addition is going to um increase the number
00:43:09.709 --> 00:43:11.376
going to um increase the number of parking spots that's 00:43:11.378 --> 00:43:11.843
of parking spots that's required to support the
00:43:11.845 --> 00:43:14.245
required to support the addition. Sure you and members
00:43:14.247 --> 00:43:15.646
addition. Sure you and members of the planning commission. I
00:43:15.648 --> 00:43:16.780
of the planning commission. I believe the applicant is here
00:43:16.782 --> 00:43:17.848
believe the applicant is here tonight to answer the question
00:43:17.850 --> 00:43:19.117
tonight to answer the question of, um, you have anything to
00:43:19.119 --> 00:43:21.419
of, um, you have anything to say, but I do not believe that 00:43:21.421 --> 00:43:22.453
say, but I do not believe that the congregation is expected to
00:43:22.455 --> 00:43:24.589
the congregation is expected to expand. This is to accommodate
00:43:24.591 --> 00:43:30.728
expand. This is to accommodate the existing, uh, congregation. 00:43:30.730 --> 00:43:36.000
the existing, uh, congregation. I mean, Uh, my question is
00:43:36.002 --> 00:43:39.203
I mean, Uh, my question is related to, um, The entry and
00:43:39.205 --> 00:43:44.375
related to, um, The entry and the exit. Um Will there be 00:43:44.377 --> 00:43:46.344
the exit. Um Will there be visible signs of like, do not
00:43:46.346 --> 00:43:48.346
visible signs of like, do not enter or you enter here just
00:43:48.348 --> 00:43:50.148
enter or you enter here just for the flow. Is there, are 00:43:50.150 --> 00:43:51.215
for the flow. Is there, are there current signs there?
00:43:51.217 --> 00:43:52.350
there current signs there? Cause it doesn't really, I
00:43:52.352 --> 00:43:55.086
Cause it doesn't really, I don't really see that on the,
00:43:55.088 --> 00:43:56.220
don't really see that on the, on the renderings, members of
00:43:56.222 --> 00:43:57.154
on the renderings, members of the planning commission, that's
00:43:57.156 --> 00:43:59.490
the planning commission, that's a good question. So access to
00:43:59.492 --> 00:44:01.492
a good question. So access to the site is through the shared 00:44:01.494 --> 00:44:02.293
the site is through the shared driveway on Broadway, which is
00:44:02.295 --> 00:44:03.761
driveway on Broadway, which is on the left side of the screen
00:44:03.763 --> 00:44:05.296
on the left side of the screen there. There is an access on
00:44:05.298 --> 00:44:06.898
there. There is an access on the south side on 76th Avenue,
00:44:06.900 --> 00:44:08.900
the south side on 76th Avenue, but they have a gate that the
00:44:08.902 --> 00:44:10.168
but they have a gate that the fire marshal has said is OK to 00:44:10.170 --> 00:44:12.302
fire marshal has said is OK to stay in place, so access to the
00:44:12.304 --> 00:44:12.971
stay in place, so access to the site is, uh, through the north.
00:44:12.973 --> 00:44:14.439
site is, uh, through the north. right now and they can open up
00:44:14.441 --> 00:44:16.040
right now and they can open up that gate on the south side if
00:44:16.042 --> 00:44:25.449
that gate on the south side if needed for flow of traffic. 00:44:25.451 --> 00:44:30.688
needed for flow of traffic. Michelle here. Your light is on, 00:44:30.690 --> 00:44:33.858
Michelle here. Your light is on, sorry I do have um. I assume,
00:44:33.860 --> 00:44:36.394
sorry I do have um. I assume, um, you know, with regards to
00:44:36.396 --> 00:44:38.662
um, you know, with regards to the parking question that we've
00:44:38.664 --> 00:44:42.366
the parking question that we've been having that um if Uh, 00:44:42.368 --> 00:44:43.667
been having that um if Uh, there's a situation in which
00:44:43.669 --> 00:44:46.337
there's a situation in which the congregation Uh, not the
00:44:46.339 --> 00:44:49.206
the congregation Uh, not the condition numbers grow, I
00:44:49.208 --> 00:44:51.008
condition numbers grow, I assume that the uh service will 00:44:51.010 --> 00:44:53.011
assume that the uh service will be staggered so that it can
00:44:53.013 --> 00:44:53.544
be staggered so that it can accommodate the parking
00:44:53.546 --> 00:44:54.545
accommodate the parking situation. Would that be
00:44:54.547 --> 00:44:58.883
situation. Would that be correct? I cannot speak on the
00:44:58.885 --> 00:44:59.817
correct? I cannot speak on the uh on that assumption I would
00:44:59.819 --> 00:45:03.687
uh on that assumption I would assume so. Thank you. Yeah, 00:45:03.689 --> 00:45:11.262
assume so. Thank you. Yeah, sure. Um, hi, I'm Chris 00:45:11.264 --> 00:45:13.697
sure. Um, hi, I'm Chris Cornelius. I'm the uh potential
00:45:13.699 --> 00:45:14.565
Cornelius. I'm the uh potential builder for the project that
00:45:14.567 --> 00:45:15.166
builder for the project that we're working on getting all
00:45:15.168 --> 00:45:16.767
we're working on getting all these plans and stuff put
00:45:16.769 --> 00:45:19.570
these plans and stuff put together for you. For the
00:45:19.572 --> 00:45:22.173
together for you. For the parking situation, um, the 00:45:22.175 --> 00:45:23.641
parking situation, um, the funeral home uses the parking
00:45:23.643 --> 00:45:25.442
funeral home uses the parking the most, uh, on the shared
00:45:25.444 --> 00:45:26.244
the most, uh, on the shared parking agreement because they
00:45:26.246 --> 00:45:28.513
parking agreement because they have a lot more services during
00:45:28.515 --> 00:45:30.714
have a lot more services during the week, uh, the church 00:45:30.716 --> 00:45:32.382
the week, uh, the church typically has a service on
00:45:32.384 --> 00:45:33.651
typically has a service on Saturday and then they have
00:45:33.653 --> 00:45:35.986
Saturday and then they have some small meetings during the
00:45:35.988 --> 00:45:38.856
some small meetings during the week, so they seldom use the
00:45:38.858 --> 00:45:39.523
week, so they seldom use the parking lot and unfortunately,
00:45:39.525 --> 00:45:41.392
parking lot and unfortunately, the church. was here, he had to 00:45:41.394 --> 00:45:43.194
the church. was here, he had to go to emergency for his kid,
00:45:43.196 --> 00:45:44.662
go to emergency for his kid, unfortunately, so, um, he could
00:45:44.664 --> 00:45:45.730
unfortunately, so, um, he could speak a little bit more on it,
00:45:45.732 --> 00:45:47.598
speak a little bit more on it, but, uh, it's very limited use
00:45:47.600 --> 00:45:49.266
but, uh, it's very limited use on the church side, the funeral
00:45:49.268 --> 00:45:50.067
on the church side, the funeral home uses a lot more than they 00:45:50.069 --> 00:45:55.873
home uses a lot more than they do. I do have a question for
00:45:55.875 --> 00:45:58.075
do. I do have a question for you, uh, uh, and, and maybe
00:45:58.077 --> 00:46:00.011
you, uh, uh, and, and maybe it's uh staff question as well. 00:46:00.013 --> 00:46:03.013
it's uh staff question as well. So I, I'm just looking at the
00:46:03.015 --> 00:46:03.881
So I, I'm just looking at the uh addition there it looks
00:46:03.883 --> 00:46:06.884
uh addition there it looks great, uh, inside, uh, uh, the
00:46:06.886 --> 00:46:11.822
great, uh, inside, uh, uh, the parking, you have a uh uh 00:46:11.824 --> 00:46:15.159
parking, you have a uh uh immersive uh baptism pool on
00:46:15.161 --> 00:46:19.930
immersive uh baptism pool on the stage that they'll be from,
00:46:19.932 --> 00:46:21.832
the stage that they'll be from, uh, uh, do you know if plummy? 00:46:21.834 --> 00:46:24.235
uh, uh, do you know if plummy? Uh, it will be a part of that.
00:46:24.237 --> 00:46:25.436
Uh, it will be a part of that. We're still working on the
00:46:25.438 --> 00:46:26.304
We're still working on the details how that's going to
00:46:26.306 --> 00:46:27.772
details how that's going to drain. We've seen other
00:46:27.774 --> 00:46:29.640
drain. We've seen other churches how they do theirs,
00:46:29.642 --> 00:46:31.475
churches how they do theirs, and we just now come down to 00:46:31.477 --> 00:46:32.176
and we just now come down to the building permit side of
00:46:32.178 --> 00:46:34.312
the building permit side of things of how we finalize that.
00:46:34.314 --> 00:46:36.447
things of how we finalize that. So you are planning on draining
00:46:36.449 --> 00:46:39.050
So you are planning on draining and maybe heating. Possibly
00:46:39.052 --> 00:46:40.718
and maybe heating. Possibly they haven't the church hasn't 00:46:40.720 --> 00:46:41.385
they haven't the church hasn't told us exactly what we're
00:46:41.387 --> 00:46:43.387
told us exactly what we're gonna do on that yet, um, and
00:46:43.389 --> 00:46:44.555
gonna do on that yet, um, and that's gonna come down to when
00:46:44.557 --> 00:46:46.590
that's gonna come down to when we submit our plans, uh, how we
00:46:46.592 --> 00:46:48.959
we submit our plans, uh, how we drain that. OK. Yeah. So I'm
00:46:48.961 --> 00:46:51.462
drain that. OK. Yeah. So I'm just curious on on those if uh 00:46:51.464 --> 00:46:54.065
just curious on on those if uh from a city perspective, if uh,
00:46:54.067 --> 00:46:59.904
from a city perspective, if uh, if that's regulated at all. The
00:46:59.906 --> 00:47:00.605
if that's regulated at all. The immersive pool the churches 00:47:00.607 --> 00:47:01.806
immersive pool the churches we've seen some of them just
00:47:01.808 --> 00:47:04.275
we've seen some of them just flow out. Daylight. That's
00:47:04.277 --> 00:47:06.611
flow out. Daylight. That's correct, yeah, yep, and I some
00:47:06.613 --> 00:47:08.880
correct, yeah, yep, and I some are tied in, so. I I've seen,
00:47:08.882 --> 00:47:11.282
are tied in, so. I I've seen, I've seen that as well. I 00:47:11.284 --> 00:47:14.619
I've seen that as well. I wonder if the, if, if I've even
00:47:14.621 --> 00:47:15.619
wonder if the, if, if I've even seen those without plumbing at
00:47:15.621 --> 00:47:18.055
seen those without plumbing at all. They just use a pump and
00:47:18.057 --> 00:47:20.524
all. They just use a pump and pump it to a a a sink or use a 00:47:20.526 --> 00:47:22.693
pump it to a a a sink or use a water hose to fill it. So I'm
00:47:22.695 --> 00:47:23.627
water hose to fill it. So I'm wondering if there are any
00:47:23.629 --> 00:47:28.699
wondering if there are any rules. Umur gave and members of
00:47:28.701 --> 00:47:30.301
rules. Umur gave and members of the planning commission, I can 00:47:30.303 --> 00:47:32.102
the planning commission, I can say that if there is a, as I
00:47:32.104 --> 00:47:34.171
say that if there is a, as I understand it, a pool on stage
00:47:34.173 --> 00:47:35.439
understand it, a pool on stage that that would be required to
00:47:35.441 --> 00:47:36.107
that that would be required to go through the sewer system,
00:47:36.109 --> 00:47:38.910
go through the sewer system, they would not be allowed to
00:47:38.912 --> 00:47:40.378
they would not be allowed to use stormwater access to drain 00:47:40.380 --> 00:47:41.846
use stormwater access to drain that if that's the question. OK.
00:47:41.848 --> 00:47:45.650
that if that's the question. OK. And you know, the, the filter
00:47:45.652 --> 00:47:46.584
And you know, the, the filter system or anything of that
00:47:46.586 --> 00:47:50.321
system or anything of that nature, you don't think that's 00:47:50.323 --> 00:47:51.389
nature, you don't think that's uh for sanitary reasons. I
00:47:51.391 --> 00:47:52.789
uh for sanitary reasons. I don't think so because the
00:47:52.791 --> 00:47:55.125
don't think so because the sewer system should accept that,
00:47:55.127 --> 00:47:56.527
sewer system should accept that, but our utilities will handle
00:47:56.529 --> 00:47:57.662
but our utilities will handle that when the building permit
00:47:57.664 --> 00:48:01.532
that when the building permit comes through. Sounds good. OK, 00:48:01.534 --> 00:48:06.270
comes through. Sounds good. OK, I can. Oh good. I, I can add to
00:48:06.272 --> 00:48:08.339
I can. Oh good. I, I can add to from my knowledge of it, uh,
00:48:08.341 --> 00:48:11.208
from my knowledge of it, uh, there will be no standing pool. 00:48:11.210 --> 00:48:14.078
there will be no standing pool. Uh, it's only during baptism
00:48:14.080 --> 00:48:17.314
Uh, it's only during baptism that the pool will be up and
00:48:17.316 --> 00:48:20.284
that the pool will be up and It's not also every service 00:48:20.286 --> 00:48:21.619
It's not also every service nowadays that happens. And so
00:48:21.621 --> 00:48:22.819
nowadays that happens. And so how does it drain and uh how do
00:48:22.821 --> 00:48:25.456
how does it drain and uh how do you get water in it? The water
00:48:25.458 --> 00:48:28.359
you get water in it? The water comes from the uh existing line
00:48:28.361 --> 00:48:31.295
comes from the uh existing line of um flow and then it gets, 00:48:31.297 --> 00:48:34.031
of um flow and then it gets, you know, drained out. So, I
00:48:34.033 --> 00:48:36.634
you know, drained out. So, I just, my question is more of a
00:48:36.636 --> 00:48:38.302
just, my question is more of a city, you know, cause I, I, I
00:48:38.304 --> 00:48:39.770
city, you know, cause I, I, I don't know if it's regulated. I
00:48:39.772 --> 00:48:42.239
don't know if it's regulated. I don't think it is and therefore, 00:48:42.241 --> 00:48:43.340
don't think it is and therefore, you know, you don't have to
00:48:43.342 --> 00:48:45.776
you know, you don't have to have any of that. It's my
00:48:45.778 --> 00:48:48.512
have any of that. It's my understanding, but I'm just.
00:48:48.514 --> 00:48:51.648
understanding, but I'm just. Speaking, you know, uh, my 00:48:51.650 --> 00:48:53.584
Speaking, you know, uh, my knowledge, so. OK, that's
00:48:53.586 --> 00:48:54.118
knowledge, so. OK, that's helpful. Thank you. I
00:48:54.120 --> 00:48:57.722

that the parking requirement, the off-street parking
00:50:35.988 --> 00:50:37.688
the off-street parking requirement, um, is something
00:50:37.690 --> 00:50:38.455
requirement, um, is something that's determined by the zoning
00:50:38.457 --> 00:50:39.957
that's determined by the zoning code. It's written very clearly
00:50:39.959 --> 00:50:41.825
code. It's written very clearly in the zoning code and it's 00:50:41.827 --> 00:50:43.761
in the zoning code and it's based on, uh, as, as, as Kara
00:50:43.763 --> 00:50:45.629
based on, uh, as, as, as Kara wrote in her staff report, it's
00:50:45.631 --> 00:50:47.631
wrote in her staff report, it's based on the number of seats,
00:50:47.633 --> 00:50:49.700
based on the number of seats, the the capacity of the seats
00:50:49.702 --> 00:50:51.568
the the capacity of the seats in the building, not the number 00:50:51.570 --> 00:50:52.903
in the building, not the number of people who actually show up.
00:50:52.905 --> 00:50:55.505

require them to report to us for the purposes of parking,
00:51:08.321 --> 00:51:09.987
for the purposes of parking, how many people are coming to
00:51:09.989 --> 00:51:11.655
how many people are coming to their services. OK, so we, we, 00:51:11.657 --> 00:51:12.989
their services. OK, so we, we, we really shouldn't be imposing
00:51:12.991 --> 00:51:16.393
we really shouldn't be imposing that condition on them. For
00:51:16.395 --> 00:51:21.098
that condition on them. For that, so the number of seats 00:51:21.100 --> 00:51:21.932
that, so the number of seats would match the parking, great,
00:51:21.934 --> 00:51:27.471

00:53:36.936 --> 00:53:38.335
vociferously to the city council that is, it is their
00:53:38.337 --> 00:53:40.070
council that is, it is their obligation to approve that 00:53:40.072 --> 00:53:41.138
obligation to approve that subdivision application because
00:53:41.140 --> 00:53:41.872
subdivision application because it meets the requirements of
00:53:41.874 --> 00:53:45.108
it meets the requirements of the code. You could choose, and
00:53:45.110 --> 00:53:46.577
the code. You could choose, and I wouldn't, would not know how
00:53:46.579 --> 00:53:49.947
I wouldn't, would not know how to advise you on this. Um, you
00:53:49.949 --> 00:53:53.817
to advise you on this. Um, you could choose to make a case to 00:53:53.819 --> 00:53:54.818
could choose to make a case to the city council that it does
00:53:54.820 --> 00:53:56.886
the city council that it does not meet. The requirements of
00:53:56.888 --> 00:53:59.690
not meet. The requirements of the zoning code, you'd have to
00:53:59.692 --> 00:54:02.859
the zoning code, you'd have to have some specifics there, um. 00:54:02.861 --> 00:54:05.029
have some specifics there, um. And they could consider that.
00:54:05.031 --> 00:54:06.630
And they could consider that. Um, but I just wanna, I wanna
00:54:06.632 --> 00:54:08.298
Um, but I just wanna, I wanna make sure I'm advising you, uh,
00:54:08.300 --> 00:54:10.033
make sure I'm advising you, uh, on what you, what, where you 00:54:10.035 --> 00:54:13.136
on what you, what, where you are now and what you could do.
00:54:13.138 --> 00:54:16.640
are now and what you could do. Um, you could also entertain
00:54:16.642 --> 00:54:17.374
Um, you could also entertain emotion to reconsider and take
00:54:17.376 --> 00:54:22.946
emotion to reconsider and take another vote. Right. May I ask, 00:54:22.948 --> 00:54:27.117
another vote. Right. May I ask, uh, uh, are there other
00:54:27.119 --> 00:54:29.252
uh, uh, are there other Implications uh for us, knowing
00:54:29.254 --> 00:54:32.789
Implications uh for us, knowing that, uh, uh, we did not follow, 00:54:32.791 --> 00:54:37.928
that, uh, uh, we did not follow, um, the If you will guiding
00:54:37.930 --> 00:54:38.528
um, the If you will guiding principles set by unders
00:54:38.530 --> 00:54:40.664
principles set by unders understood, Mr. Chair, um, 00:54:40.666 --> 00:54:44.067
understood, Mr. Chair, um, Members of the commission. If
00:54:44.069 --> 00:54:45.069
Members of the commission. If the outcome at the end of the
00:54:45.071 --> 00:54:47.805
the outcome at the end of the day is that the city council
00:54:47.807 --> 00:54:49.940
day is that the city council approves the subdivision. Um,
00:54:49.942 --> 00:54:51.575
approves the subdivision. Um, then I don't have any concerns. 00:54:51.577 --> 00:54:55.045
then I don't have any concerns. Um If the city council takes
00:54:55.047 --> 00:54:56.680
Um If the city council takes advice from the planning
00:54:56.682 --> 00:54:57.615
advice from the planning commission and denies the
00:54:57.617 --> 00:54:58.949
commission and denies the subdivision. I have very
00:54:58.951 --> 00:54:59.950
subdivision. I have very serious legal concerns about
00:54:59.952 --> 00:55:04.421
serious legal concerns about the city's exposure. That's 00:55:04.423 --> 00:55:05.622
the city's exposure. That's what I suspected. I have a
00:55:05.624 --> 00:55:09.626
what I suspected. I have a question. Because I think where
00:55:09.628 --> 00:55:12.496
question. Because I think where my concerns are. And just to be 00:55:12.498 --> 00:55:15.365
my concerns are. And just to be very frank. Mitigation should
00:55:15.367 --> 00:55:17.501
very frank. Mitigation should have been part of this verse is
00:55:17.503 --> 00:55:23.240
have been part of this verse is just what the rules are. 00:55:23.242 --> 00:55:24.441
just what the rules are. Outreach, have conversations,
00:55:24.443 --> 00:55:25.843
Outreach, have conversations, explain this to the neighbors
00:55:25.845 --> 00:55:30.547
explain this to the neighbors because If that was my block. I 00:55:30.549 --> 00:55:32.382
because If that was my block. I would want someone to explain
00:55:32.384 --> 00:55:33.851
would want someone to explain to me, or at least reach out to
00:55:33.853 --> 00:55:37.788
to me, or at least reach out to me. Just reach out to me, let
00:55:37.790 --> 00:55:39.456
me. Just reach out to me, let me know, like mitigation should
00:55:39.458 --> 00:55:42.592
me know, like mitigation should have been part of this. And I 00:55:42.594 --> 00:55:44.928
have been part of this. And I have concerns with just Moving
00:55:44.930 --> 00:55:47.330
have concerns with just Moving something through. And I don't
00:55:47.332 --> 00:55:50.267
something through. And I don't think it was fair. To the 00:55:50.269 --> 00:55:51.535
think it was fair. To the residents to not know what was
00:55:51.537 --> 00:55:55.872
residents to not know what was being moved through. I get it.
00:55:55.874 --> 00:55:57.774
being moved through. I get it. The the owner can do whatever
00:55:57.776 --> 00:56:00.277
The the owner can do whatever the owner wants to do. I 00:56:00.279 --> 00:56:01.311
the owner wants to do. I understand that, but if you're,
00:56:01.313 --> 00:56:02.079
understand that, but if you're, we're talking about being a
00:56:02.081 --> 00:56:05.482
we're talking about being a neighbor. There's mitigation.
00:56:05.484 --> 00:56:06.483
neighbor. There's mitigation. There's some things that we can
00:56:06.485 --> 00:56:09.553
There's some things that we can avoid. And I think maybe that's
00:56:09.555 --> 00:56:10.754
avoid. And I think maybe that's what the neighbor should have 00:56:10.756 --> 00:56:13.356
what the neighbor should have done, be neighborly. Know who
00:56:13.358 --> 00:56:14.758
done, be neighborly. Know who your your neighbors are.
00:56:14.760 --> 00:56:17.127
your your neighbors are. Explain this. If there was a
00:56:17.129 --> 00:56:18.661
Explain this. If there was a situation that forced her,
00:56:18.663 --> 00:56:21.231
situation that forced her, where she has to do this. I'm 00:56:21.233 --> 00:56:23.400
where she has to do this. I'm not saying that you have to go
00:56:23.402 --> 00:56:24.434
not saying that you have to go into detail about it, but at
00:56:24.436 --> 00:56:28.038
into detail about it, but at least Bring people along. If
00:56:28.040 --> 00:56:32.075
least Bring people along. If this is what you want to do. 00:56:32.077 --> 00:56:34.377
this is what you want to do. Cause that's what neighbors do.
00:56:34.379 --> 00:56:42.052
Cause that's what neighbors do. But Um, uh, thank you, uh, 00:56:42.054 --> 00:56:42.853
But Um, uh, thank you, uh, Commissioner, in a perfect
00:56:42.855 --> 00:56:45.122
Commissioner, in a perfect world. I would agree with you,
00:56:45.124 --> 00:56:47.725
world. I would agree with you, but this is not a perfect world.
00:56:47.727 --> 00:56:51.795
but this is not a perfect world. Um, this is a Maybe you might 00:56:51.797 --> 00:56:52.763
Um, this is a Maybe you might call it a complex as I would
00:56:52.765 --> 00:56:55.732
call it a complex as I would just, you know, situation.
00:56:55.734 --> 00:56:57.134
just, you know, situation. You've got the rights of the
00:56:57.136 --> 00:56:58.235
You've got the rights of the owner to do whatever they want
00:56:58.237 --> 00:57:00.470
owner to do whatever they want to do with their property. And 00:57:00.472 --> 00:57:02.806
to do with their property. And you've got, uh, you know, the
00:57:02.808 --> 00:57:03.741
you've got, uh, you know, the neighbors who've lived there
00:57:03.743 --> 00:57:05.675
neighbors who've lived there for a long time who want to
00:57:05.677 --> 00:57:06.343
for a long time who want to impose their own set up of
00:57:06.345 --> 00:57:08.411
impose their own set up of morality. And we're going to
00:57:08.413 --> 00:57:10.347
morality. And we're going to use that those strong words on 00:57:10.349 --> 00:57:11.481
use that those strong words on the propaganda. We, we don't
00:57:11.483 --> 00:57:14.151
the propaganda. We, we don't know what the owner. You know,
00:57:14.153 --> 00:57:16.153
know what the owner. You know, what the situation is, maybe we
00:57:16.155 --> 00:57:18.889
what the situation is, maybe we might have an aging parents, um,
00:57:18.891 --> 00:57:21.090
might have an aging parents, um, maybe, um. You know, uh, you 00:57:21.092 --> 00:57:22.492
maybe, um. You know, uh, you know, you know, uh, a child,
00:57:22.494 --> 00:57:26.296
know, you know, uh, a child, you know, that has a uh no no
00:57:26.298 --> 00:57:27.697
you know, that has a uh no no special needs. We don't know
00:57:27.699 --> 00:57:28.565
special needs. We don't know all that, you know, so that
00:57:28.567 --> 00:57:32.703
all that, you know, so that honor. Has to take care of him 00:57:32.705 --> 00:57:35.572
honor. Has to take care of him or herself before he listens to
00:57:35.574 --> 00:57:36.974
or herself before he listens to the uh uh the neighbors who,
00:57:36.976 --> 00:57:38.575
the uh uh the neighbors who, who wants to see Turkey. I mean,
00:57:38.577 --> 00:57:40.244
who wants to see Turkey. I mean, I, I, I do want to see Turkey 00:57:40.246 --> 00:57:42.512
I, I, I do want to see Turkey or wildlife. But then again,
00:57:42.514 --> 00:57:44.314
or wildlife. But then again, you know, you know, we, we, we,
00:57:44.316 --> 00:57:46.149
you know, you know, we, we, we, we, we have to look at that
00:57:46.151 --> 00:57:48.785
we, we have to look at that situation. And besides, If the
00:57:48.787 --> 00:57:49.453
situation. And besides, If the neighborhood has that kind of
00:57:49.455 --> 00:57:52.055
neighborhood has that kind of power. What makes you think 00:57:52.057 --> 00:57:53.323
power. What makes you think that excuse me, what what makes
00:57:53.325 --> 00:57:54.391
that excuse me, what what makes you think they they they won't
00:57:54.393 --> 00:57:57.060
you think they they they won't use it. And in other words,
00:57:57.062 --> 00:57:59.362
use it. And in other words, like, uh, we, we don't like the
00:57:59.364 --> 00:58:00.063
like, uh, we, we don't like the height of that person, you know, 00:58:00.065 --> 00:58:01.999
height of that person, you know, coming in. We don't like this.
00:58:02.001 --> 00:58:03.466
coming in. We don't like this. Let's make issues out of this
00:58:03.468 --> 00:58:04.801
Let's make issues out of this to get that, that, that, that,
00:58:04.803 --> 00:58:06.203
to get that, that, that, that, you know, trouble for that
00:58:06.205 --> 00:58:08.338
you know, trouble for that person to, to be out of there.
00:58:08.340 --> 00:58:11.074
person to, to be out of there. So, um, I am I understand, you 00:58:11.076 --> 00:58:12.142
So, um, I am I understand, you know, that, you know, and and
00:58:12.144 --> 00:58:14.144
know, that, you know, and and if I'm buying a house, I'm I'm
00:58:14.146 --> 00:58:15.746
if I'm buying a house, I'm I'm not gonna go check check with
00:58:15.748 --> 00:58:16.813
not gonna go check check with the neighbors, get, get, get,
00:58:16.815 --> 00:58:18.582
the neighbors, get, get, get, get that, you know, that, that
00:58:18.584 --> 00:58:20.050
get that, you know, that, that permission to live there or not 00:58:20.052 --> 00:58:21.551
permission to live there or not live there. I'll buy the house
00:58:21.553 --> 00:58:23.153
live there. I'll buy the house if they like me, that's fine.
00:58:23.155 --> 00:58:24.688
if they like me, that's fine. You know, that's that's the
00:58:24.690 --> 00:58:26.556
You know, that's that's the perfect world. If they don't,
00:58:26.558 --> 00:58:27.557
perfect world. If they don't, that's also fine. You know, I
00:58:27.559 --> 00:58:29.693
that's also fine. You know, I don't have to force anybody. So,
00:58:29.695 --> 00:58:32.696
don't have to force anybody. So, so my take is You know, um, if, 00:58:32.698 --> 00:58:34.497
so my take is You know, um, if, if the neighborhood have this
00:58:34.499 --> 00:58:36.900
if the neighborhood have this kind of passion. Why didn't
00:58:36.902 --> 00:58:37.834
kind of passion. Why didn't they go talk to the owner and
00:58:37.836 --> 00:58:38.969
they go talk to the owner and say, you know what, these are
00:58:38.971 --> 00:58:41.171
say, you know what, these are our concerns. Why, why do I 00:58:41.173 --> 00:58:44.574
our concerns. Why, why do I have to come in, so so so no,
00:58:44.576 --> 00:58:47.577
have to come in, so so so no, the owner so no, the owner to
00:58:47.579 --> 00:58:49.712
the owner so no, the owner to avoid this. Can I to avoid this.
00:58:49.714 --> 00:58:50.513
avoid this. Can I to avoid this. Can I to avoid this. Can I get, 00:58:50.515 --> 00:58:52.849
Can I to avoid this. Can I get, I get no, no, no, we, we're not
00:58:52.851 --> 00:58:55.652
I get no, no, no, we, we're not gonna, we, we can't go back and
00:58:55.654 --> 00:58:56.786
gonna, we, we can't go back and forth, yeah, you think we
00:58:56.788 --> 00:58:57.654
forth, yeah, you think we should look back on it, on it,
00:58:57.656 --> 00:58:59.189
should look back on it, on it, and I want to give the reason
00:58:59.191 --> 00:59:01.324
and I want to give the reason why I voted against it. I think 00:59:01.326 --> 00:59:04.461
why I voted against it. I think it, it, it does that uh owner
00:59:04.463 --> 00:59:05.462
it, it, it does that uh owner was actually interested in
00:59:05.464 --> 00:59:06.429
was actually interested in doing something that, that,
00:59:06.431 --> 00:59:07.997
doing something that, that, that, that is worthwhile. They
00:59:07.999 --> 00:59:09.065
that, that is worthwhile. They should have been here too, so
00:59:09.067 --> 00:59:09.733
should have been here too, so they can explain because I'm
00:59:09.735 --> 00:59:11.468
they can explain because I'm not gonna go get. I'm not gonna 00:59:11.470 --> 00:59:16.005
not gonna go get. I'm not gonna guess what they think. OK,
00:59:16.007 --> 00:59:16.806
guess what they think. OK, great. I vote against it
00:59:16.808 --> 00:59:17.841
great. I vote against it because I don't even know what
00:59:17.843 --> 00:59:19.809
because I don't even know what they're thinking, right? And I
00:59:19.811 --> 00:59:21.411
they're thinking, right? And I can imagine, I would sit down 00:59:21.413 --> 00:59:23.213
can imagine, I would sit down to make up what they think is,
00:59:23.215 --> 00:59:24.681
to make up what they think is, is the reason they are doing it
00:59:24.683 --> 00:59:29.086
is the reason they are doing it for. So when I see that, I
00:59:29.088 --> 00:59:29.953
for. So when I see that, I appreciate the comment in the
00:59:29.955 --> 00:59:31.021

00:59:56.048 --> 00:59:58.515
Action could be in the favor. Or in the know. There's no
00:59:58.517 --> 01:00:00.517
Or in the know. There's no option. If there is option 01:00:00.519 --> 01:00:01.384
option. If there is option already with expectation of
01:00:01.386 --> 01:00:03.753
already with expectation of just in the in the in the case
01:00:03.755 --> 01:00:05.121
just in the in the in the case of just positive affirmative,
01:00:05.123 --> 01:00:07.090
of just positive affirmative, then, you know, we are not
01:00:07.092 --> 01:00:08.725
then, you know, we are not doing a due diligence and
01:00:08.727 --> 01:00:10.260
doing a due diligence and making a, a conscious that may 01:00:10.262 --> 01:00:12.429
making a, a conscious that may be right, it may be wrong, but
01:00:12.431 --> 01:00:14.063
be right, it may be wrong, but we're making our conscious
01:00:14.065 --> 01:00:15.098
we're making our conscious decisions after deliberation.
01:00:15.100 --> 01:00:17.134
decisions after deliberation. So that's what we have done. It
01:00:17.136 --> 01:00:20.069
So that's what we have done. It may not be to the satisfactory 01:00:20.071 --> 01:00:22.606
may not be to the satisfactory of anybody. But the majority of
01:00:22.608 --> 01:00:25.342
of anybody. But the majority of these parties spoke. And we
01:00:25.344 --> 01:00:27.277
these parties spoke. And we cannot just go down the rabbit
01:00:27.279 --> 01:00:29.212
cannot just go down the rabbit hole and now why we did the way
01:00:29.214 --> 01:00:30.413
hole and now why we did the way we did and I think procedurally. 01:00:30.415 --> 01:00:33.951
we did and I think procedurally. That's not right to go there
01:00:33.953 --> 01:00:39.389
That's not right to go there right now and we have do. He
01:00:39.391 --> 01:00:40.023
right now and we have do. He deliberated, everybody made 01:00:40.025 --> 01:00:42.492
deliberated, everybody made their mind. And conscious with
01:00:42.494 --> 01:00:44.294
their mind. And conscious with full information. And made a
01:00:44.296 --> 01:00:46.062
full information. And made a decision. That's correct, and
01:00:46.064 --> 01:00:47.431
decision. That's correct, and we're gonna, we're gonna live
01:00:47.433 --> 01:00:49.999
we're gonna, we're gonna live if we're gonna revisit again, 01:00:50.001 --> 01:00:52.369
if we're gonna revisit again, that's in order if we're gonna
01:00:52.371 --> 01:00:53.870
that's in order if we're gonna and other than that, I think,
01:00:53.872 --> 01:00:56.306
and other than that, I think, uh, you know, uh, to rehash as
01:00:56.308 --> 01:00:58.108
uh, you know, uh, to rehash as to why I took certain actions,
01:00:58.110 --> 01:01:01.011
to why I took certain actions, why I did this, I think, I 01:01:01.013 --> 01:01:02.746
why I did this, I think, I think it's not procedurally.
01:01:02.748 --> 01:01:04.314
think it's not procedurally. Appropriate at this moment is
01:01:04.316 --> 01:01:06.650
Appropriate at this moment is what I feel. Thank you. Can I
01:01:06.652 --> 01:01:08.518
what I feel. Thank you. Can I ask a procedural Commissioner
01:01:08.520 --> 01:01:11.655
ask a procedural Commissioner Frasier, you wanna. Yes, so, um, 01:01:11.657 --> 01:01:13.523
Frasier, you wanna. Yes, so, um, I just want to say I, I
01:01:13.525 --> 01:01:16.860
I just want to say I, I understand that this was a an
01:01:16.862 --> 01:01:18.795
understand that this was a an emotional and complex situation.
01:01:18.797 --> 01:01:19.929
emotional and complex situation. I too enjoy green space. That's
01:01:19.931 --> 01:01:22.666
I too enjoy green space. That's why I moved to Brooklyn Park, 01:01:22.668 --> 01:01:24.334
why I moved to Brooklyn Park, so I definitely understood what
01:01:24.336 --> 01:01:25.201
so I definitely understood what the residents, where they were
01:01:25.203 --> 01:01:28.672
the residents, where they were coming from. I think our
01:01:28.674 --> 01:01:31.474
coming from. I think our responsibility as a planning 01:01:31.476 --> 01:01:33.209
responsibility as a planning commission is to um approve
01:01:33.211 --> 01:01:35.611
commission is to um approve things based on the zoning code
01:01:35.613 --> 01:01:37.080
things based on the zoning code and sometimes those are
01:01:37.082 --> 01:01:38.882
and sometimes those are difficult decisions that we
01:01:38.884 --> 01:01:40.750
difficult decisions that we have to make, um, with that 01:01:40.752 --> 01:01:43.420
have to make, um, with that said, I think in situations
01:01:43.422 --> 01:01:46.523
said, I think in situations like this, we need where we are
01:01:46.525 --> 01:01:49.459
like this, we need where we are not able to make a decision
01:01:49.461 --> 01:01:52.028
not able to make a decision based on what we've heard, I 01:01:52.030 --> 01:01:55.732
based on what we've heard, I think, um, In my opinion, it's
01:01:55.734 --> 01:01:59.602
think, um, In my opinion, it's best for us to defer that and
01:01:59.604 --> 01:02:02.039
best for us to defer that and recommend, uh, you know, and 01:02:02.041 --> 01:02:04.574
recommend, uh, you know, and come back to it because I. I
01:02:04.576 --> 01:02:09.879
come back to it because I. I think There could have been
01:02:09.881 --> 01:02:10.780
think There could have been deferment for more conversation 01:02:10.782 --> 01:02:13.616
deferment for more conversation cause I felt like the, the
01:02:13.618 --> 01:02:16.853
cause I felt like the, the residents were not as informed
01:02:16.855 --> 01:02:18.721
residents were not as informed of the situation and that kind
01:02:18.723 --> 01:02:20.457
of the situation and that kind of triggered some, some of the 01:02:20.459 --> 01:02:22.959
of triggered some, some of the things that we saw today. So I
01:02:22.961 --> 01:02:25.996
things that we saw today. So I think that in the future, uh,
01:02:25.998 --> 01:02:29.132
think that in the future, uh, it might be helpful to defer
01:02:29.134 --> 01:02:32.469
it might be helpful to defer until some of those 01:02:32.471 --> 01:02:34.071
until some of those conversations occur with the,
01:02:34.073 --> 01:02:35.905
conversations occur with the, the neighbor, not saying that
01:02:35.907 --> 01:02:38.541
the neighbor, not saying that it will change any decisions,
01:02:38.543 --> 01:02:41.010
it will change any decisions, but to make sure that people 01:02:41.012 --> 01:02:44.981
but to make sure that people are heard, um. And they
01:02:44.983 --> 01:02:46.683
are heard, um. And they understand what our obligations
01:02:46.685 --> 01:02:51.154
understand what our obligations are. OK, so thank you. I echo 01:02:51.156 --> 01:02:52.221
are. OK, so thank you. I echo what you were gonna say what
01:02:52.223 --> 01:02:54.424
what you were gonna say what you said and what you said is
01:02:54.426 --> 01:02:56.426
you said and what you said is to I feel like my obligation is
01:02:56.428 --> 01:02:57.760
to I feel like my obligation is to acknowledge that there's
01:02:57.762 --> 01:03:00.296
to acknowledge that there's rules in place, and we have a 01:03:00.298 --> 01:03:01.430
rules in place, and we have a community that we represent
01:03:01.432 --> 01:03:02.732
community that we represent that has concerns that they are
01:03:02.734 --> 01:03:04.767
that has concerns that they are here to speak of. And when we
01:03:04.769 --> 01:03:05.969
here to speak of. And when we can't answer that, whether it's
01:03:05.971 --> 01:03:07.570
can't answer that, whether it's in a different meeting or we
01:03:07.572 --> 01:03:10.507
in a different meeting or we give time, I'd be happy to 01:03:10.509 --> 01:03:11.174
give time, I'd be happy to entertain this conversation
01:03:11.176 --> 01:03:15.145
entertain this conversation again when When we have all the
01:03:15.147 --> 01:03:16.246
again when When we have all the information for, for me as a
01:03:16.248 --> 01:03:18.882
information for, for me as a representative of the people to
01:03:18.884 --> 01:03:20.784
representative of the people to have this many people giving me 01:03:20.786 --> 01:03:21.584
have this many people giving me feedback that something's wrong
01:03:21.586 --> 01:03:22.986
feedback that something's wrong here. I need to take a deep
01:03:22.988 --> 01:03:25.322
here. I need to take a deep breath and, and I'm curious
01:03:25.324 --> 01:03:26.322
breath and, and I'm curious procedurally, could this come
01:03:26.324 --> 01:03:28.057
procedurally, could this come back in front of us before it
01:03:28.059 --> 01:03:30.127
back in front of us before it goes to city council. When 01:03:30.129 --> 01:03:31.127
goes to city council. When something else happens for
01:03:31.129 --> 01:03:32.529
something else happens for whatever is the reason that we
01:03:32.531 --> 01:03:33.864
whatever is the reason that we have this many people. Um,
01:03:33.866 --> 01:03:35.331
have this many people. Um, that's what I feel is part of
01:03:35.333 --> 01:03:36.399
that's what I feel is part of that, that feeling of like, I
01:03:36.401 --> 01:03:37.934
that, that feeling of like, I can't move that forward when
01:03:37.936 --> 01:03:38.768
can't move that forward when there's something there there.
01:03:38.770 --> 01:03:43.940
there's something there there. Sounds great. Right, and then 01:03:43.942 --> 01:03:46.009
Sounds great. Right, and then again that's and I understand
01:03:46.011 --> 01:03:51.481
again that's and I understand all of that, you know, um. I, 01:03:51.483 --> 01:03:54.017
all of that, you know, um. I, uh, and, and I hear you, Paul.
01:03:54.019 --> 01:04:00.156
uh, and, and I hear you, Paul. Well, uh, uh, but I, uh, uh. 01:04:00.158 --> 01:04:04.560
Well, uh, uh, but I, uh, uh. Procedurally, uh, I think the,
01:04:04.562 --> 01:04:05.895
Procedurally, uh, I think the, uh, uh, the commissioners heard
01:04:05.897 --> 01:04:08.798
uh, uh, the commissioners heard the residents and they made a
01:04:08.800 --> 01:04:10.700
the residents and they made a decision and the decision was 01:04:10.702 --> 01:04:14.237
decision and the decision was not to uh uh approved. Uh, we
01:04:14.239 --> 01:04:16.039
not to uh uh approved. Uh, we understand your position that
01:04:16.041 --> 01:04:18.508
understand your position that you'll take that recommendation
01:04:18.510 --> 01:04:22.946
you'll take that recommendation to or let the city council know 01:04:22.948 --> 01:04:24.647
to or let the city council know and uh obviously uh let them
01:04:24.649 --> 01:04:26.249
and uh obviously uh let them know their role and
01:04:26.251 --> 01:04:27.183
know their role and responsibility and they will
01:04:27.185 --> 01:04:30.186
responsibility and they will decide. Accordingly, right? And 01:04:30.188 --> 01:04:32.789
decide. Accordingly, right? And so I think we've made our
01:04:32.791 --> 01:04:36.793
so I think we've made our decision, uh, and, uh, Uh, we
01:04:36.795 --> 01:04:39.128
decision, uh, and, uh, Uh, we understand your position. I go,
01:04:39.130 --> 01:04:40.730
understand your position. I go, Mr. Chair, I completely 01:04:40.732 --> 01:04:42.532
Mr. Chair, I completely appreciate that. My, my main
01:04:42.534 --> 01:04:43.900
appreciate that. My, my main intention was simply to make
01:04:43.902 --> 01:04:46.336
intention was simply to make sure because the parts that I
01:04:46.338 --> 01:04:47.804
sure because the parts that I neglected to say at right after
01:04:47.806 --> 01:04:50.206
neglected to say at right after the vote was, you may want to 01:04:50.208 --> 01:04:51.741
the vote was, you may want to take advantage of the
01:04:51.743 --> 01:04:54.143
take advantage of the opportunity you have to make,
01:04:54.145 --> 01:04:56.079
opportunity you have to make, uh, an affirmative case of some
01:04:56.081 --> 01:04:56.980
uh, an affirmative case of some sort to the planning commission,
01:04:56.982 --> 01:04:58.681
sort to the planning commission, because my, you know, uh, I'm a
01:04:58.683 --> 01:05:00.149
because my, you know, uh, I'm a big defender of the planning 01:05:00.151 --> 01:05:01.484
big defender of the planning commission. Uh, I love you all
01:05:01.486 --> 01:05:03.019
commission. Uh, I love you all as individuals and as a body,
01:05:03.021 --> 01:05:07.290
as individuals and as a body, and I, I want your voice to be
01:05:07.292 --> 01:05:08.024
and I, I want your voice to be inform informing the decisions
01:05:08.026 --> 01:05:10.693
inform informing the decisions that the that City council is 01:05:10.695 --> 01:05:14.364
that the that City council is making, um, and, um, so, and
01:05:14.366 --> 01:05:16.432
making, um, and, um, so, and that's and that's the typical
01:05:16.434 --> 01:05:18.901
that's and that's the typical way it goes, um, in any city in
01:05:18.903 --> 01:05:19.735
way it goes, um, in any city in a relationship between a
01:05:19.737 --> 01:05:22.105
a relationship between a planning commission and a city 01:05:22.107 --> 01:05:24.140
planning commission and a city council is, um, if the council,
01:05:24.142 --> 01:05:26.909
council is, um, if the council, or sorry, if the planning
01:05:26.911 --> 01:05:28.578
or sorry, if the planning commission is recommending, um,
01:05:28.580 --> 01:05:29.478
commission is recommending, um, denial of an application,
01:05:29.480 --> 01:05:31.114
denial of an application, they're going to include 01:05:31.116 --> 01:05:32.882
they're going to include reasons, um, you know, findings
01:05:32.884 --> 01:05:34.784
reasons, um, you know, findings of fact, uh, for the council to,
01:05:34.786 --> 01:05:36.753
of fact, uh, for the council to, to chew on uh in a way when
01:05:36.755 --> 01:05:37.853
to chew on uh in a way when they make their final decision.
01:05:37.855 --> 01:05:39.122
they make their final decision. So that that was. The main
01:05:39.124 --> 01:05:42.124
So that that was. The main intent of my, of what I was, um, 01:05:42.126 --> 01:05:42.992
intent of my, of what I was, um, suggesting to make sure you
01:05:42.994 --> 01:05:46.062
suggesting to make sure you understand you have the
01:05:46.064 --> 01:05:46.763
understand you have the opportunity to do that because
01:05:46.765 --> 01:05:48.064
opportunity to do that because that's what I was stumbling on,
01:05:48.066 --> 01:05:49.332
that's what I was stumbling on, where do I have that
01:05:49.334 --> 01:05:50.633
where do I have that opportunity to explain my vote. 01:05:50.635 --> 01:05:52.101
opportunity to explain my vote. Well, and so that, so that
01:05:52.103 --> 01:05:53.502
Well, and so that, so that would be something that the,
01:05:53.504 --> 01:05:54.570
would be something that the, the planning commission would,
01:05:54.572 --> 01:05:55.672
the planning commission would, you know, deliberate. Somebody
01:05:55.674 --> 01:05:56.939
you know, deliberate. Somebody would have to make a motion,
01:05:56.941 --> 01:05:59.008
would have to make a motion, you know, I hear the reasons
01:05:59.010 --> 01:06:01.678
you know, I hear the reasons I'm laying out about why this 01:06:01.680 --> 01:06:04.681
I'm laying out about why this doesn't um meet the, the
01:06:04.683 --> 01:06:05.682
doesn't um meet the, the subdivision regulations, um,
01:06:05.684 --> 01:06:07.083
subdivision regulations, um, and then you, you, you know,
01:06:07.085 --> 01:06:08.618
and then you, you, you know, just like any other motion, uh,
01:06:08.620 --> 01:06:10.086
just like any other motion, uh, you'd, you'd take about to 01:06:10.088 --> 01:06:11.287
you'd, you'd take about to forward that on. You don't have
01:06:11.289 --> 01:06:12.622
forward that on. You don't have to do it. I just wanted to make
01:06:12.624 --> 01:06:13.490
to do it. I just wanted to make sure you understood the
01:06:13.492 --> 01:06:17.627
sure you understood the opportunity to do that. So you,
01:06:17.629 --> 01:06:20.029
opportunity to do that. So you, you find a way to articulate 01:06:20.031 --> 01:06:28.871
you find a way to articulate why this doesn't meet the. to,
01:06:28.873 --> 01:06:30.840
why this doesn't meet the. to, um, you know, the city council. 01:06:30.842 --> 01:06:36.446
um, you know, the city council. Uh, to, um, To ourselves and to
01:06:36.448 --> 01:06:37.513
Uh, to, um, To ourselves and to the people, you know, who came

the people, you know, who came to us for, for guidance to 01:06:40.285 --> 01:06:42.251
to us for, for guidance to explain why we deviated from,
01:06:42.253 --> 01:06:44.120
explain why we deviated from, you know, you know, from, from
01:06:44.122 --> 01:06:48.725
you know, you know, from, from the letdown procedure. And and
01:06:48.727 --> 01:06:49.558
the letdown procedure. And and but otherwise. So I will, I
01:06:49.560 --> 01:07:02.472
but otherwise. So I will, I will make that motion. I don't 01:07:02.474 --> 01:07:04.540
will make that motion. I don't know if anyone here can, well,
01:07:04.542 --> 01:07:07.944
know if anyone here can, well, maybe I shouldn't speak, uh,
01:07:07.946 --> 01:07:09.412
maybe I shouldn't speak, uh, can articulate why this doesn't
01:07:09.414 --> 01:07:14.884
can articulate why this doesn't meet the zoning. Regulations, 01:07:14.886 --> 01:07:17.286
meet the zoning. Regulations, right? And so we're just going,
01:07:17.288 --> 01:07:18.755
right? And so we're just going, we're just going to, I know
01:07:18.757 --> 01:07:21.424
we're just going to, I know this is my opinion, we're just 01:07:21.426 --> 01:07:24.561
this is my opinion, we're just going to talk about what Staff
01:07:24.563 --> 01:07:26.363
going to talk about what Staff or what the the neighbors and
01:07:26.365 --> 01:07:27.963
or what the the neighbors and everyone else would say it
01:07:27.965 --> 01:07:32.101
everyone else would say it won't be based off. Rules and 01:07:32.103 --> 01:07:34.704
won't be based off. Rules and regulations. Well, we do have
01:07:34.706 --> 01:07:37.640
regulations. Well, we do have the rules and And this is a
01:07:37.642 --> 01:07:38.375
the rules and And this is a situation that has happened to
01:07:38.377 --> 01:07:41.244
situation that has happened to me. You know, I bought a piece 01:07:41.246 --> 01:07:43.446
me. You know, I bought a piece of land in Saint Francis. You
01:07:43.448 --> 01:07:47.049
of land in Saint Francis. You know, 3 or 4 acres. You know,
01:07:47.051 --> 01:07:48.985
know, 3 or 4 acres. You know, they never thought I was gonna
01:07:48.987 --> 01:07:49.853
they never thought I was gonna do some, some development with
01:07:49.855 --> 01:07:52.588
do some, some development with it or whatever. And they sent 01:07:52.590 --> 01:07:53.456
it or whatever. And they sent in some representatives to come
01:07:53.458 --> 01:07:54.857
in some representatives to come and talk to me, and that's what
01:07:54.859 --> 01:07:55.991
and talk to me, and that's what should have happened here. You
01:07:55.993 --> 01:07:57.060
should have happened here. You know, you know, they thought
01:07:57.062 --> 01:07:57.860
know, you know, they thought and I say, hey, you know, we,
01:07:57.862 --> 01:07:59.695
and I say, hey, you know, we, we, we like this land, um, you
01:07:59.697 --> 01:08:01.264
we, we like this land, um, you know, you know, and they are 01:08:01.266 --> 01:08:02.098
know, you know, and they are very nicely said, do you don't
01:08:02.100 --> 01:08:03.098
very nicely said, do you don't want to do anything with it,
01:08:03.100 --> 01:08:03.800
want to do anything with it, please don't do anything with
01:08:03.802 --> 01:08:05.201
please don't do anything with it. We like it this way. And I,
01:08:05.203 --> 01:08:07.136
it. We like it this way. And I, I, you know, luckily I didn't
01:08:07.138 --> 01:08:08.738
I, you know, luckily I didn't plan on doing anything with it.
01:08:08.740 --> 01:08:10.807
plan on doing anything with it. But, you know, I kind of played 01:08:10.809 --> 01:08:12.675
But, you know, I kind of played along, I know, you know, I did
01:08:12.677 --> 01:08:14.677
along, I know, you know, I did him a big favor and, you know,
01:08:14.679 --> 01:08:15.878
him a big favor and, you know, and he settled down, but that's
01:08:15.880 --> 01:08:16.812
and he settled down, but that's what should have happened here,
01:08:16.814 --> 01:08:18.013
what should have happened here, you know, this was not the form.
01:08:18.015 --> 01:08:23.820
you know, this was not the form. that to to to happen and we 01:08:23.822 --> 01:08:25.221
that to to to happen and we Went along with it instead of
01:08:25.223 --> 01:08:26.222
Went along with it instead of going to what we were supposed
01:08:26.224 --> 01:08:27.690
going to what we were supposed to do, which is said yes and no.
01:08:27.692 --> 01:08:29.292
to do, which is said yes and no. Does it meet the criteria? Yes,
01:08:29.294 --> 01:08:31.828
Does it meet the criteria? Yes, it doesn't, no. And then advise 01:08:31.830 --> 01:08:33.629
it doesn't, no. And then advise them to do some something
01:08:33.631 --> 01:08:35.364
them to do some something different or like she said,
01:08:35.366 --> 01:08:36.699
different or like she said, maybe say, hey. Go that live
01:08:36.701 --> 01:08:38.968
maybe say, hey. Go that live and come back. But since we did
01:08:38.970 --> 01:08:41.437
and come back. But since we did not do that, You know, and we 01:08:41.439 --> 01:08:42.505
not do that, You know, and we just sent a thing to the, to
01:08:42.507 --> 01:08:44.340
just sent a thing to the, to the council, the city council,
01:08:44.342 --> 01:08:47.243
the council, the city council, saying, OK. Um, the, the part
01:08:47.245 --> 01:08:51.447
saying, OK. Um, the, the part was we Um, did you know we 01:08:51.449 --> 01:08:52.849
was we Um, did you know we neglected to do what you said,
01:08:52.851 --> 01:08:53.649
neglected to do what you said, you know, that what was
01:08:53.651 --> 01:08:54.717
you know, that what was assigned to us, which is yes or
01:08:54.719 --> 01:08:57.720
assigned to us, which is yes or no. You know, we, we know we
01:08:57.722 --> 01:09:00.056
no. You know, we, we know we got to consider that even if it 01:09:00.058 --> 01:09:02.959
got to consider that even if it met the criteria. So we use
01:09:02.961 --> 01:09:04.427
met the criteria. So we use some other arbitrary cri
01:09:04.429 --> 01:09:05.461
some other arbitrary cri criteria and, and we, we, you
01:09:05.463 --> 01:09:07.530
criteria and, and we, we, you know, we, we rejected it. You
01:09:07.532 --> 01:09:09.132
know, we, we rejected it. You know, and, you know, if that
01:09:09.134 --> 01:09:10.433
know, and, you know, if that happened, then, you know, then 01:09:10.435 --> 01:09:11.868
happened, then, you know, then that's, there's some questions
01:09:11.870 --> 01:09:14.303
that's, there's some questions that may be asked, why do we do
01:09:14.305 --> 01:09:15.838
that may be asked, why do we do that? I think I don't know,
01:09:15.840 --> 01:09:17.273
that? I think I don't know, maybe you guys can correct me
01:09:17.275 --> 01:09:18.942
maybe you guys can correct me if I'm wrong, but you voted yes
01:09:18.944 --> 01:09:23.813
if I'm wrong, but you voted yes or no. My, they voted yes or no, 01:09:23.815 --> 01:09:30.052
or no. My, they voted yes or no, right? And so why we split in 01:09:30.054 --> 01:09:31.420
right? And so why we split in the past. OK. Why is this any
01:09:31.422 --> 01:09:36.893
the past. OK. Why is this any different? We split our votes
01:09:36.895 --> 01:09:39.696
different? We split our votes in the pad. We we were you know
01:09:39.698 --> 01:09:42.098
in the pad. We we were you know things that were not moved 01:09:42.100 --> 01:09:43.132
things that were not moved forward or recommended that it
01:09:43.134 --> 01:09:44.600
forward or recommended that it didn't, you know, we've done
01:09:44.602 --> 01:09:47.003
didn't, you know, we've done this in the past. Why is this
01:09:47.005 --> 01:09:49.972
this in the past. Why is this one different? I appreciate.
01:09:49.974 --> 01:09:52.107
one different? I appreciate. Can we go back and revisit this 01:09:52.109 --> 01:09:54.443
Can we go back and revisit this later. I, I still think
01:09:54.445 --> 01:09:57.714
later. I, I still think mitigation is important. You
01:09:57.716 --> 01:09:58.915
mitigation is important. You just said that. I agree with
01:09:58.917 --> 01:10:00.450
just said that. I agree with you. I don't know I don't know 01:10:00.452 --> 01:10:03.653
you. I don't know I don't know I, let's just come back to this
01:10:03.655 --> 01:10:06.923
I, let's just come back to this because I think this is a step
01:10:06.925 --> 01:10:09.858
because I think this is a step that was missed. So I'm not
01:10:09.860 --> 01:10:12.662
that was missed. So I'm not saying that it has to be. I'm 01:10:12.664 --> 01:10:14.697
saying that it has to be. I'm just saying what I'm saying is,
01:10:14.699 --> 01:10:16.866
just saying what I'm saying is, if we want to agree to move it
01:10:16.868 --> 01:10:19.602
if we want to agree to move it forward. At least in my
01:10:19.604 --> 01:10:21.003
forward. At least in my conscience, it would feel 01:10:21.005 --> 01:10:24.340
conscience, it would feel better. Because I'm not that
01:10:24.342 --> 01:10:31.180
better. Because I'm not that person who's just going to. OK 01:10:31.182 --> 01:10:34.551
person who's just going to. OK denied. Mhm. What people bring
01:10:34.553 --> 01:10:36.286
denied. Mhm. What people bring personal biases or whatever, it
01:10:36.288 --> 01:10:39.488
personal biases or whatever, it happens all the time. So why is
01:10:39.490 --> 01:10:40.957
happens all the time. So why is this any different? What I'm 01:10:40.959 --> 01:10:42.425
this any different? What I'm saying is that there is more
01:10:42.427 --> 01:10:48.164
saying is that there is more that needs to be done. Before.
01:10:48.166 --> 01:10:49.966
that needs to be done. Before. I get it. It's in black and
01:10:49.968 --> 01:10:51.768
I get it. It's in black and white. I understand that. But 01:10:51.770 --> 01:10:56.105
white. I understand that. But does it make it right? Yeah,
01:10:56.107 --> 01:10:58.040
does it make it right? Yeah, it's uh I think that's what
01:10:58.042 --> 01:11:00.776
it's uh I think that's what everyone is saying. Yeah, it 01:11:00.778 --> 01:11:10.986
everyone is saying. Yeah, it Yeah, it Yeah. But, but it, 01:11:10.988 --> 01:11:13.990
Yeah, it Yeah. But, but it, it's, it's not their property.
01:11:13.992 --> 01:11:15.658
it's, it's not their property. OK, uh, we can, we, we could be
01:11:15.660 --> 01:11:18.327
OK, uh, we can, we, we could be here on, we, we, we could be
01:11:18.329 --> 01:11:21.397

I can contribute to the conversation. I have discovered.
01:11:59.170 --> 01:12:00.236
conversation. I have discovered. I just can't vote. So I'd like 01:12:00.238 --> 01:12:02.839
I just can't vote. So I'd like to take a point of personal
01:12:02.841 --> 01:12:04.907
to take a point of personal privilege and simply point out.
01:12:04.909 --> 01:12:08.778
privilege and simply point out. Put this in context. When you,
01:12:08.780 --> 01:12:15.785
Put this in context. When you, when this body Voted yes or no. 01:12:15.787 --> 01:12:18.187
when this body Voted yes or no. On the legitimacy of the
01:12:18.189 --> 01:12:19.722
On the legitimacy of the request to subdivide the lot
01:12:19.724 --> 01:12:20.923
request to subdivide the lot across the street from my house. 01:12:20.925 --> 01:12:27.530
across the street from my house. And my wife came. And gave the
01:12:27.532 --> 01:12:28.598
And my wife came. And gave the same exact arguments that these
01:12:28.600 --> 01:12:31.534
same exact arguments that these people gave. It flew right 01:12:31.536 --> 01:12:34.503
people gave. It flew right through this committee. And
01:12:34.505 --> 01:12:36.405
through this committee. And Being on the city council, I
01:12:36.407 --> 01:12:37.339
Being on the city council, I recused myself because it
01:12:37.341 --> 01:12:41.277
recused myself because it affected me. But It had to go 01:12:41.279 --> 01:12:43.679
affected me. But It had to go through the city council. It
01:12:43.681 --> 01:12:45.681
through the city council. It had to pass because it did not,
01:12:45.683 --> 01:12:49.018
had to pass because it did not, nothing. We are in a, what is
01:12:49.020 --> 01:12:50.486
nothing. We are in a, what is it, a quasi-judicial role at 01:12:50.488 --> 01:12:52.555
it, a quasi-judicial role at that point as city council
01:12:52.557 --> 01:12:56.092
that point as city council members. We, we. Make a ruling
01:12:56.094 --> 01:12:57.960
members. We, we. Make a ruling as a judge would not based on
01:12:57.962 --> 01:13:00.262
as a judge would not based on opinion, not based on, I think 01:13:00.264 --> 01:13:02.665
opinion, not based on, I think the, the real crux of the issue
01:13:02.667 --> 01:13:04.032
the, the real crux of the issue here is a whole bunch of people
01:13:04.034 --> 01:13:08.303
here is a whole bunch of people showed up. And they made us all
01:13:08.305 --> 01:13:13.509
showed up. And they made us all very uncomfortable. Um, and I 01:13:13.511 --> 01:13:15.110
very uncomfortable. Um, and I understand, I understand their
01:13:15.112 --> 01:13:16.445
understand, I understand their frustration because I feel the
01:13:16.447 --> 01:13:17.914
frustration because I feel the same way about the lot across
01:13:17.916 --> 01:13:19.382
same way about the lot across the street from my house,
01:13:19.384 --> 01:13:20.916
the street from my house, however, none of this 01:13:20.918 --> 01:13:23.919
however, none of this conversation happened. When
01:13:23.921 --> 01:13:28.124
conversation happened. When that was taking place. Um Just
01:13:28.126 --> 01:13:30.059
that was taking place. Um Just for context is my point. I 01:13:30.061 --> 01:13:31.727
for context is my point. I think there was just a step in
01:13:31.729 --> 01:13:39.602
think there was just a step in my opinion. Yeah. In a neighbor
01:13:39.604 --> 01:13:43.472
my opinion. Yeah. In a neighbor Just have. That's all I'm 01:13:43.474 --> 01:13:46.209
Just have. That's all I'm saying, and we understand that
01:13:46.211 --> 01:13:47.610
saying, and we understand that that should have taken place,
01:13:47.612 --> 01:13:51.013
that should have taken place, um. Can we, uh, you know, I, I, 01:13:51.015 --> 01:13:52.615

the implications of the decision. I just want to say
01:19:37.095 --> 01:19:40.429
decision. I just want to say that I, um, firmly agree that 01:19:40.431 --> 01:19:42.364
that I, um, firmly agree that just as a person on this planet,
01:19:42.366 --> 01:19:43.766
just as a person on this planet, and a person who also has
01:19:43.768 --> 01:19:45.901
and a person who also has neighbors, you know, that, um,
01:19:45.903 --> 01:19:46.568
neighbors, you know, that, um, neighbors should talk to one
01:19:46.570 --> 01:19:47.836
neighbors should talk to one another, and if you're
01:19:47.838 --> 01:19:48.637
another, and if you're proposing a change, and again,
01:19:48.639 --> 01:19:50.705
proposing a change, and again, I'm not talking about city 01:19:50.707 --> 01:19:52.107
I'm not talking about city requirements, um, that this
01:19:52.109 --> 01:19:53.575
requirements, um, that this meets all the requirements, the
01:19:53.577 --> 01:19:54.243
meets all the requirements, the procedurally, everything went
01:19:54.245 --> 01:19:55.978
procedurally, everything went exactly. As it is supposed to
01:19:55.980 --> 01:19:58.314
exactly. As it is supposed to go, uh, so this is not me as
01:19:58.316 --> 01:19:59.381
go, uh, so this is not me as the planning director saying,
01:19:59.383 --> 01:20:00.382
the planning director saying, uh, this applicant didn't meet 01:20:00.384 --> 01:20:03.319
uh, this applicant didn't meet the requirements. They did, um,
01:20:03.321 --> 01:20:04.553
the requirements. They did, um, but I personally agree that
01:20:04.555 --> 01:20:05.721
but I personally agree that it's good to interact with your
01:20:05.723 --> 01:20:06.955
it's good to interact with your neighbors and explain what
01:20:06.957 --> 01:20:08.858
neighbors and explain what you're doing. Um, uh, I think
01:20:08.860 --> 01:20:10.859
you're doing. Um, uh, I think that would be better, uh, and 01:20:10.861 --> 01:20:12.328
that would be better, uh, and this may have gone at least
01:20:12.330 --> 01:20:15.797
this may have gone at least somewhat better, maybe not. Not
01:20:15.799 --> 01:20:17.066
somewhat better, maybe not. Not perfectly, uh, if that had
01:20:17.068 --> 01:20:19.401
perfectly, uh, if that had happened, so. Thank you for
01:20:19.403 --> 01:20:23.005
happened, so. Thank you for explaining. Yeah, that's a very 01:20:23.007 --> 01:20:24.740
explaining. Yeah, that's a very um very uh informative, and I
01:20:24.742 --> 01:20:28.476
um very uh informative, and I think we can uh Kind of, uh,
01:20:28.478 --> 01:20:30.746
think we can uh Kind of, uh, there is an argument that says 01:20:30.748 --> 01:20:31.747
there is an argument that says we already deliberated and
01:20:31.749 --> 01:20:34.883
we already deliberated and decided, but if we Need to
01:20:34.885 --> 01:20:39.822
decided, but if we Need to comment. I think we can uh add
01:20:39.824 --> 01:20:42.224
comment. I think we can uh add something um in that room of, 01:20:42.226 --> 01:20:43.225
something um in that room of, uh, you know, saying something,
01:20:43.227 --> 01:20:49.565

01:20:56.840 --> 01:21:07.983
the upcoming meeting, something like that. Yep. Uh. At this 01:21:07.985 --> 01:21:10.452
like that. Yep. Uh. At this rate, I don't think we'll agree 01:21:10.454 --> 01:21:11.753
rate, I don't think we'll agree on a comment on the statement.
01:21:11.755 --> 01:21:13.455
on a comment on the statement. So, so, so I, I, I said let,
01:21:13.457 --> 01:21:15.657
So, so, so I, I, I said let, let it go as it is and, and I
01:21:15.659 --> 01:21:19.394
let it go as it is and, and I will, we'll deal with it. You
01:21:19.396 --> 01:21:21.263
will, we'll deal with it. You know, we've got exactly, and I, 01:21:21.265 --> 01:21:25.267
know, we've got exactly, and I, you know. Uh, been a public
01:21:25.269 --> 01:21:29.872
you know. Uh, been a public body, uh. I would hate to have
01:21:29.874 --> 01:21:31.874
body, uh. I would hate to have another debate without the 01:21:31.876 --> 01:21:34.610
another debate without the public being here and um. You
01:21:34.612 --> 01:21:37.079
public being here and um. You know, we Said something, you
01:21:37.081 --> 01:21:38.413
know, we Said something, you know, I want to say something
01:21:38.415 --> 01:21:39.147
know, I want to say something different at the time, we
01:21:39.149 --> 01:21:40.649
different at the time, we should have said it, you know. 01:21:40.651 --> 01:21:43.986
should have said it, you know. Here, but we voted. That was
01:21:43.988 --> 01:21:46.088
Here, but we voted. That was our decision and uh we
01:21:46.090 --> 01:21:48.690
our decision and uh we understand what your next steps
01:21:48.692 --> 01:21:51.093
understand what your next steps are and uh. We'll deal with 01:21:51.095 --> 01:21:54.163
are and uh. We'll deal with that. You're comfortable with
01:21:54.165 --> 01:21:57.733
that. You're comfortable with that. Just a comment cause I, I
01:21:57.735 --> 01:22:01.637
that. Just a comment cause I, I heard that we have a couple of 01:22:01.639 --> 01:22:02.570
heard that we have a couple of public meetings that's
01:22:02.572 --> 01:22:06.642
public meetings that's happening after this. Um I
01:22:06.644 --> 01:22:08.711
happening after this. Um I guess maybe I'm looking for
01:22:08.713 --> 01:22:15.250
guess maybe I'm looking for some clarity, um, If we know 01:22:15.252 --> 01:22:19.087
some clarity, um, If we know How this is going to land. It's
01:22:19.089 --> 01:22:21.189
How this is going to land. It's almost like, you know, is it 01:22:21.191 --> 01:22:22.958
almost like, you know, is it false hope? You know, where
01:22:22.960 --> 01:22:24.526
false hope? You know, where you're giving people
01:22:24.528 --> 01:22:26.061
you're giving people opportunities to share and
01:22:26.063 --> 01:22:28.397
opportunities to share and comment and, and we know what
01:22:28.399 --> 01:22:29.798
comment and, and we know what the outcome is going to be.
01:22:29.800 --> 01:22:33.268
the outcome is going to be. Because The owner has rights, 01:22:33.270 --> 01:22:37.138
Because The owner has rights, right? So I just wonder, I'm
01:22:37.140 --> 01:22:39.007
right? So I just wonder, I'm just going to go back to
01:22:39.009 --> 01:22:40.876
just going to go back to mitigation. How do we make this 01:22:40.878 --> 01:22:42.745
mitigation. How do we make this right, where it's a win-win for
01:22:42.747 --> 01:22:46.048
right, where it's a win-win for everybody. Because I think
01:22:46.050 --> 01:22:49.285
everybody. Because I think that's what we can avoid. The
01:22:49.287 --> 01:22:52.754
that's what we can avoid. The bigger challenges. And this 01:22:52.756 --> 01:22:54.356
bigger challenges. And this just ties back into your
01:22:54.358 --> 01:22:55.624
just ties back into your comment, yours, and my original
01:22:55.626 --> 01:22:58.626
comment, yours, and my original comment. We just have to just
01:22:58.628 --> 01:23:01.030
comment. We just have to just make it right, and that's just 01:23:01.032 --> 01:23:01.563
make it right, and that's just communicating and being
01:23:01.565 --> 01:23:03.699
communicating and being transparent. But also
01:23:03.701 --> 01:23:07.569
transparent. But also empathizing. Empathizing with
01:23:07.571 --> 01:23:08.570
empathizing. Empathizing with the community, because we get
01:23:08.572 --> 01:23:12.908
the community, because we get it. And I understand, it was 01:23:12.910 --> 01:23:13.909
it. And I understand, it was just difficult for me to say
01:23:13.911 --> 01:23:15.577
just difficult for me to say yes, because I, I felt, I felt
01:23:15.579 --> 01:23:18.646
yes, because I, I felt, I felt it. And that's why we have
01:23:18.648 --> 01:23:20.382
it. And that's why we have public forums. That's why, 01:23:20.384 --> 01:23:21.850
public forums. That's why, because people want to express
01:23:21.852 --> 01:23:23.452
because people want to express their feelings and sometimes
01:23:23.454 --> 01:23:25.854
their feelings and sometimes you do empathize with that. But
01:23:25.856 --> 01:23:27.122
you do empathize with that. But I do wonder with the the two
01:23:27.124 --> 01:23:28.791
I do wonder with the the two meetings, I think I heard 2
01:23:28.793 --> 01:23:31.259
meetings, I think I heard 2 meetings. It's gonna happen 01:23:31.261 --> 01:23:33.795
meetings. It's gonna happen after this, um, there is an
01:23:33.797 --> 01:23:35.664
after this, um, there is an opportunity for perhaps The
01:23:35.666 --> 01:23:38.233
opportunity for perhaps The staff to kind of set the stage.
01:23:38.235 --> 01:23:41.202
staff to kind of set the stage. To just let people know. By law, 01:23:41.204 --> 01:23:44.005
To just let people know. By law, this is what the owner can do,
01:23:44.007 --> 01:23:47.342
this is what the owner can do, but also be empathetic. And
01:23:47.344 --> 01:23:49.010
but also be empathetic. And again, I, I agree and I, you
01:23:49.012 --> 01:23:53.548
again, I, I agree and I, you know, again, procedurally, it 01:23:53.550 --> 01:23:55.650
know, again, procedurally, it sounds like what I heard that
01:23:55.652 --> 01:23:58.620
sounds like what I heard that uh this is a. Somewhat of a
01:23:58.622 --> 01:24:00.088
uh this is a. Somewhat of a smart body of residents here. 01:24:00.090 --> 01:24:02.624
smart body of residents here. You know, you heard the one
01:24:02.626 --> 01:24:04.960
You know, you heard the one gentleman say he understands
01:24:04.962 --> 01:24:06.228
gentleman say he understands the procedure and he's willing
01:24:06.230 --> 01:24:08.963
the procedure and he's willing to buy the two parcels. It's
01:24:08.965 --> 01:24:11.199
to buy the two parcels. It's solved, right? And so he's not 01:24:11.201 --> 01:24:12.300
solved, right? And so he's not planning on doing anything, but
01:24:12.302 --> 01:24:13.635
planning on doing anything, but we can't sit here and predict
01:24:13.637 --> 01:24:15.104
we can't sit here and predict whether he's gonna buy that or
01:24:15.106 --> 01:24:17.839
whether he's gonna buy that or not or whatever it is. So there
01:24:17.841 --> 01:24:20.509
not or whatever it is. So there are smart body. They, you know, 01:24:20.511 --> 01:24:22.511
are smart body. They, you know, they have mitigation plans in
01:24:22.513 --> 01:24:24.313
they have mitigation plans in place if they want to, you know,
01:24:24.315 --> 01:24:26.849
place if they want to, you know, to solve this, so that's not
01:24:26.851 --> 01:24:31.386
to solve this, so that's not our job. I get it I think it's 01:24:31.388 --> 01:24:37.726
our job. I get it I think it's Sam. I mean, they, the the
01:24:37.728 --> 01:24:40.529
Sam. I mean, they, the the staff I guess the question, 01:24:40.531 --> 01:24:46.168
staff I guess the question, legally, when we come back to.
01:24:46.170 --> 01:24:49.204
legally, when we come back to. To this specific item, um, the
01:24:49.206 --> 01:24:52.607

01:27:47.284 --> 01:27:49.184
uh. I, I, I sum on this, you know, through an error because
01:27:49.186 --> 01:27:51.987
know, through an error because when I was when I was live in 01:27:51.989 --> 01:27:53.055
when I was when I was live in my apartment to move into a
01:27:53.057 --> 01:27:55.324
my apartment to move into a house I thought I was going to
01:27:55.326 --> 01:27:55.991
house I thought I was going to get every information from the
01:27:55.993 --> 01:28:00.028
get every information from the city. And I can receive almost, 01:28:00.030 --> 01:28:02.397
city. And I can receive almost, I think, even the park and
01:28:02.399 --> 01:28:03.732
I think, even the park and recreation, I've get emails
01:28:03.734 --> 01:28:07.802
recreation, I've get emails from them every day, so I get
01:28:07.804 --> 01:28:08.637
from them every day, so I get emails from everybody, so
01:28:08.639 --> 01:28:09.804

for those of you with good memories who have been here in
01:32:42.112 --> 01:32:42.811
memories who have been here in previous Januaries, you may
01:32:42.813 --> 01:32:44.946
previous Januaries, you may remember that. Often we use
01:32:44.948 --> 01:32:46.381
remember that. Often we use this meeting as the
01:32:46.383 --> 01:32:47.349
this meeting as the organizational meeting for the
01:32:47.351 --> 01:32:51.719
organizational meeting for the year, and we, um, review and 01:32:51.721 --> 01:32:53.622
year, and we, um, review and adopt bylaws and adopt a work
01:32:53.624 --> 01:32:56.558
adopt bylaws and adopt a work plan for the coming year. Um,
01:32:56.560 --> 01:32:58.092
plan for the coming year. Um, this year we're going to delay
01:32:58.094 --> 01:33:01.095
this year we're going to delay that a bit. Um, I feel like we 01:33:01.097 --> 01:33:02.497
that a bit. Um, I feel like we should actually discuss the
01:33:02.499 --> 01:33:04.099
should actually discuss the work plan together, uh, and
01:33:04.101 --> 01:33:05.733
work plan together, uh, and have it be something that the
01:33:05.735 --> 01:33:06.434
have it be something that the commission has some input on,
01:33:06.436 --> 01:33:07.569
commission has some input on, so I didn't want to just throw
01:33:07.571 --> 01:33:09.704
so I didn't want to just throw it on the first agenda and, and
01:33:09.706 --> 01:33:11.572
it on the first agenda and, and rubber stamp it and move on. So, 01:33:11.574 --> 01:33:12.707
rubber stamp it and move on. So, um, I don't know what the exact
01:33:12.709 --> 01:33:14.509
um, I don't know what the exact timing that will be. it, it may
01:33:14.511 --> 01:33:15.843
timing that will be. it, it may not be till April, it may be
01:33:15.845 --> 01:33:17.846
not be till April, it may be before that. Uh, you also
01:33:17.848 --> 01:33:19.514
before that. Uh, you also recall that we do an annual
01:33:19.516 --> 01:33:20.448
recall that we do an annual report in the first few months 01:33:20.450 --> 01:33:22.417
report in the first few months of the year, so I'm thinking
01:33:22.419 --> 01:33:24.419
of the year, so I'm thinking we'll, we'll kind of dovetail
01:33:24.421 --> 01:33:25.853
we'll, we'll kind of dovetail those together, so we look at
01:33:25.855 --> 01:33:27.255
those together, so we look at last year, uh, what happened
01:33:27.257 --> 01:33:29.390
last year, uh, what happened and then talk about what's in
01:33:29.392 --> 01:33:30.658
and then talk about what's in what's happening in the coming 01:33:30.660 --> 01:33:32.927
what's happening in the coming year, um. Talk about what the
01:33:32.929 --> 01:33:33.728
year, um. Talk about what the city council has been talking
01:33:33.730 --> 01:33:35.463
city council has been talking about, about their priorities
01:33:35.465 --> 01:33:36.398
about, about their priorities and then come to what the work
01:33:36.400 --> 01:33:38.400
and then come to what the work plan is for the year. Um, so,
01:33:38.402 --> 01:33:39.067
plan is for the year. Um, so, and then, you know, just take
01:33:39.069 --> 01:33:40.568
and then, you know, just take care of the bylaws and all that, 01:33:40.570 --> 01:33:41.336
care of the bylaws and all that, all that stuff that we have to
01:33:41.338 --> 01:33:43.404
all that stuff that we have to do as well. So we didn't forget
01:33:43.406 --> 01:33:45.407
do as well. So we didn't forget about it, um, it's an
01:33:45.409 --> 01:33:46.140
about it, um, it's an intentional, intentional change.

this whole discussion of subdivisions, I think we, we
01:35:01.818 --> 01:35:04.019
subdivisions, I think we, we should talk about it, not about,
01:35:04.021 --> 01:35:04.953
should talk about it, not about, not about any particular
01:35:04.955 --> 01:35:08.556
not about any particular subdivision, but the topic, uh,
01:35:08.558 --> 01:35:10.024
subdivision, but the topic, uh, we have some, uh, we will bring 01:35:10.026 --> 01:35:11.359
we have some, uh, we will bring that forward to, to try to kind
01:35:11.361 --> 01:35:12.794
that forward to, to try to kind of work through that and the
01:35:12.796 --> 01:35:13.495
of work through that and the role of the commission. Uh, we
01:35:13.497 --> 01:35:15.096
role of the commission. Uh, we have we've been doing some
01:35:15.098 --> 01:35:16.631

01:35:16.633 --> 01:35:18.499
thinking as staff about what we might recommend to you for, for,
01:35:18.501 --> 01:35:20.401
might recommend to you for, for, for changes about that role to 01:35:20.403 --> 01:35:21.436
for changes about that role to try to avoid these situations,
01:35:21.438 --> 01:35:22.937
try to avoid these situations, but let's not get into that now.
01:35:22.939 --> 01:35:23.972
but let's not get into that now. Um, we will have that
01:35:23.974 --> 01:35:25.774
Um, we will have that discussion at a at a coming
01:35:25.776 --> 01:35:28.676

February, um. For things like that, but also, you know,
01:35:36.386 --> 01:35:37.718
that, but also, you know, you'll recall on the 6, 10
01:35:37.720 --> 01:35:39.253
you'll recall on the 6, 10 corridor development study, we
01:35:39.255 --> 01:35:40.655
corridor development study, we had work sessions both with the 01:35:40.657 --> 01:35:41.555
had work sessions both with the planning commission but also
01:35:41.557 --> 01:35:43.124
planning commission but also jointly with the city council
01:35:43.126 --> 01:35:44.459
jointly with the city council on that work. I would, I
01:35:44.461 --> 01:35:45.893
on that work. I would, I envision us doing something
01:35:45.895 --> 01:35:47.395
envision us doing something similar for the Northwest
01:35:47.397 --> 01:35:48.930

01:35:52.335 --> 01:35:54.101

01:36:27.370 --> 01:36:28.870
in addition to, um, The Subdivision of lots. I'm

required green space cause, you know, uh, like me moved to 01:36:41.251 --> 01:36:42.249
know, uh, like me moved to Brooklyn Park because it was
01:36:42.251 --> 01:36:47.655
Brooklyn Park because it was very wooded area, very nature
01:36:47.657 --> 01:36:49.590
very wooded area, very nature friendly and with a lot of
01:36:49.592 --> 01:36:50.525
friendly and with a lot of developments, it just seems 01:36:50.527 --> 01:36:53.594
developments, it just seems like we're losing a lot of our
01:36:53.596 --> 01:36:55.896
like we're losing a lot of our green space and um. You know,
01:36:55.898 --> 01:36:58.933
green space and um. You know, how can we um talk about zoning
01:36:58.935 --> 01:37:05.273
