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.

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.

And lots 2 or 3 and 3, the intent is to 00:24:16.043 --> 00:24:17.642 2 or 3 and 3, the intent is to sell. However, if she chose not 00:24:17.644 --> 00:24:20.312 sell. However, if she chose not to sell, that would also be 00:24:20.314 --> 00:24:22.314 to sell, that would also be valid and she could have just 00:24:22.316 --> 00:24:23.649 valid and she could have just continue owning the 3 lots as 00:24:23.651 --> 00:24:27.386 continue owning the 3 lots as they exist.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
