[7:37] community.
[7:38] We had a lunch and a proclamation in her honor.
[7:43] We start the public input.
[7:51] How many people do we have signed up?
[9:05] Is there anyone here?
[9:08] Is anyone here that would like to speak.
[9:11] And the rules are, please give your.
[9:17] Please as you approach, state your name and your address
[9:20] for record.
[9:22] And you have
[9:24] three minutes to speak.
[9:28] Thank you. Okay. Thank you.
[9:30] My name is Christina. Smithdale. I own 31 shackle drive.
[9:33] Shenkel drive I'm here today in support of STR and
[9:36] also to ask for a review of the code, allowing
[9:39] fences over access easements.
[9:42] Our house is only accessible by the deeded access easement
[9:45] through my neighbor at 39 shackle drive.
[9:48] Shenkel drive is a one lane private road. That's very
[9:51] steep and narrow.
[9:52] Our driveway is at the bottom and currently blocked by
[9:55] a gate owned by my neighbor.
[9:57] The gate requires you to park on the one lane
[9:59] road. Get out, unlock the stakes in the ground individually.
[10:02] Drive through park on the easement, then close each side.
[10:06] It's very dangerous, especially in the winter and restrictive of
[10:09] my rights.
[10:10] I've spoken with my neighbor about removing it or keeping
[10:13] it open numerous times and he will, will not oblige
[10:16] consistently.
[10:17] Initially, there was no permit for the gate.
[10:20] I called the town in a violation was issued.
[10:23] He applied for a permit and one was immediately issued
[10:25] by the town because it met code.
[10:28] Despite the fact he's got a corner lot.
[10:30] I was told I have no recourse.
[10:33] Homes only accessible by easement should have different specific codes
[10:37] related to fences and gates blocking their right of way.
[10:40] And ensuring unrestricted use of the property.
[10:43] Gates should not be allowed to impede an owner's access
[10:46] to their own property.
[10:48] Are deed that when we purchased in may of 2023
[10:52] states, we have unrestricted access.
[10:54] Through a 20 foot wide easement.
[10:57] This was first referred to a deed in 1990.
[11:01] And unrestricted right of access by any means, including vehicular
[11:05] and pedestrian.
[11:07] Was noted in the next deed in 2000.
[11:10] The unrestricted right of access by any means over the
[11:13] easement was granted and binding on all parties and future
[11:16] owners.
[11:17] In 2001 in order for a declaratory judgment for a
[11:21] permanent access, easement was issued by the 30.
[11:24] By the Supreme court, after the current owner of 31,
[11:28] snaggle alleged.
[11:29] The neighbor was blocking her access.
[11:31] The Supreme court intervened again.
[11:34] And stipulated not to obstruct the easement.
[11:37] Again, these incidents show. My neighbor's attempt to hinder the
[11:42] owner's use of the easement.
[11:44] It's very clear. I should have unrestricted access to my
[11:47] home and do not believe it's right for the town
[11:50] to issue a fence permit.
[11:52] Over this area, the former things I mentioned are all
[11:56] very important in regards to my property registered as an
[11:59] T R as I believe.
[12:01] It's the true reason for the harassment I've been experiencing.
[12:05] I support STR for numerous reasons. I use them when
[12:08] I travel.
[12:09] I like to use my home and supplement my income.
[12:13] STRs bring visitors and guests to Iran, decoy who otherwise
[12:16] wouldn't visit.
[12:17] This brings additional income to the town.
[12:20] In small businesses, STR are not affecting real estate negatively
[12:24] for local buyers. As I Ronda Coit was just named
[12:27] the best market in the.
[12:28] Nation for first time home buyers in 2024 by realtor.com.
[12:33] We have very strict rules, no parties, no events. And
[12:37] we clearly.
[12:37] Outline all of our expectations for our guests today.
[12:40] And we want nothing, but to make a round a
[12:42] quite better.
[12:43] My neighbor has been attempting to impede my use and
[12:46] enjoyment of the property.
[12:48] From the beginning due to his, the dis his dislike
[12:51] of his home, having an easement, I empathize with this.
[12:54] So we have a rule, only two cars in the.
[12:56] Driveway and try our best not to disturb him.
[13:01] I guess, can I have like a sum up time
[13:04] or would that be okay? Or 10 seconds?
[13:07] Okay. From small things like complaining about garbage, adding wind
[13:12] chimes lights, and invasive cameras.
[13:14] To telling my guests, they can't use the driveway calling
[13:18] false 9 1, 1 an Airbnb.
[13:20] Complaints and
[13:24] thank you very much. Okay. Thank you. Just for public.
[13:29] Knowledge STR short-term rentals. Yes, sir. Thank you. Thank you.
[13:34] Does anyone else wish to speak?
[13:43] Please state your name.
[13:44] Address for record and you have three minutes.
[13:47] Good evening board Mike Nolan. I square offices now at 500
[13:52] bakers park.
[13:53] I'm here again, to request a public meeting with you,
[13:56] the town board.
[13:58] To work toward a resolution of your lawsuit against I
[14:01] square.
[14:02] Last week I met with supervisor Evans and he stated
[14:05] that all the board members share the desire to see
[14:08] this resolved.
[14:10] Wendy. And I do also.
[14:12] We had a court hearing yesterday morning and the judge
[14:15] reiterated the court's position.
[14:18] Of encouraging us to work together towards a resolution.
[14:22] He also granted a continuance.
[14:25] On the case until early may to allow us time
[14:28] to work together.
[14:29] Toward an agreement.
[14:32] I speak with residents every day, both at ice square
[14:35] and around decoy beer company. And the feedback is always
[14:38] similar.
[14:39] But he has a desire to see us get along
[14:41] and work together.
[14:42] Rather than against one another.
[14:47] So the tone board.
[14:49] Would like this resolved, Wendy and I would like this
[14:52] resolved the judge presiding over the court.
[14:56] Case once this resolved, and most importantly, the residents of
[14:59] Aranda Kuwait wanna see this resolved.
[15:02] Why are we not meeting?
[15:04] Nothing's gonna get solved without conversation and talking.
[15:09] Isn't our government supposed to be open and transparent.
[15:13] Why can't we have an open and transparent meeting.
[15:17] The tone attorney seems to be the only person who
[15:20] doesn't wanna see us resolve this. She's given one reason
[15:23] after another.
[15:24] Reasons we can't meet and, and progress to come together
[15:29] for a solution. It's one red Heron after.
[15:32] Another, and I believe we're on eight or nine or
[15:36] 10 of them now.
[15:37] 'em now where just do this and we can do
[15:39] this and just do this and we can do this
[15:41] and it goes on and on and on.
[15:44] What is she afraid of?
[15:47] What's the worst thing that could happen by having a
[15:49] meeting together.
[15:51] Maybe we'll resolve it.
[15:53] Thank you. Thank you very much.
[15:56] Does anyone else watch to speak?
[16:04] Hi, my name is Marsha and Wright. I live at
[16:06] 75 clay avenue.
[16:08] I've been here for nine months now. Excuse me. Ma'am
[16:11] can you move the microphone towards your mouth? Yep. That's
[16:13] it. Thanks.
[16:16] I listened to everybody in November to public.
[16:19] Input telling you how uncomfortable it is to live next
[16:22] to a short term rental.
[16:25] I listened to how the repairing of zombie home scat
[16:29] transformed.
[16:30] And that could also have been done by first time
[16:32] home buyers.
[16:33] Who would've been a neighbor.
[16:36] I listened to owners, tell the board.
[16:38] Their guests go to local restaurants and businesses.
[16:42] So do homeowners. And so do long-term rental people.
[16:47] I listen to
[16:48] property managers say
[16:50] that these were great for his repair business.
[16:53] People saying they lived on the bay that have never
[16:56] spent a night there.
[16:58] Those houses could have children living in them.
[17:01] They could be going to school here. Their families could
[17:04] become part of the community.
[17:06] And those families could actually vote for you.
[17:09] I also realized that not one single complaint.
[17:13] Came to this board about a true bed and breakfast.
[17:16] Were the owner was on site.
[17:20] This seemed to police themselves well, and there's never a
[17:23] complaint about 'em.
[17:25] The complaints are only on the single.
[17:28] Family homes.
[17:31] I was also here the other night when I listened
[17:33] to label.
[17:35] Selling his
[17:36] wares about his world solving problems.
[17:40] The people in this town.
[17:42] Everybody in the room and all the firemen that just
[17:45] left.
[17:46] They elected you folks.
[17:49] To speak for them.
[17:51] To fulfill their desires.
[17:54] Label's name wasn't on a ballot. Yours were.
[17:57] It's up to you guys with your legal counsel of
[18:00] course, to solve this problem.
[18:03] I asked the board to vote.
[18:05] Exclusively, no. And anything rental less than 28 days.
[18:09] Thank you.
[18:11] Thank you. Does anyone wish I was wish to address
[18:15] the board?

[40:59] In the, the town of, in the fair town of
[41:01] Veronica coy, we're very excited to open a new, a
[41:04] new chapter with you.
[41:05] We fifth frame brewing aim to be an anchor to
[41:08] the community.
[41:09] To create development for the people to come down to
[41:12] the esteemed Somerville area.
[41:13] And also to revitalize the iconic Somerville rail location.
[41:18] We're making a significant investment into the community that we
[41:20] care about and who has supported us, especially during the
[41:24] pandemic.
[41:25] Yeah. And for the last seven years alongside of our
[41:28] downtown location,
[41:30] Somerville grill has been a long standing.
[41:32] Institution in a Sheriff's establishment that has served the community
[41:35] for over 25 years. We're looking to continue the, the
[41:38] legacy.
[41:40] We have a, we have a community base. I feel
[41:42] immense love from right from the get-go.
[41:45] Hearing how much this place means to the neighbors.
[41:48] The friendships that they forged, the memories that were created.
[41:51] And we know we want to provide the same friendly
[41:53] atmosphere and the connection that was otherwise there.
[41:57] We're asking for this special use permit.
[41:59] Be granted for 30 plus people. So we can ensure
[42:03] the fun times, the never ending summers.
[42:05] And, and to give the community what they've been asking
[42:08] for.
[42:09] For the last few months we've been working there.
[42:11] In addition, also being a destination to Somerville.
[42:15] You know, thank you for your time. And, and your
[42:17] consideration means a lot.
[42:33] Is there anyone else I'd like to speak to this
[42:35] issue?
[42:46] Hello. My name is rose Novak. I am president of
[42:49] the board at west edge at the Harbor.
[42:51] My concern, and I'm not sure with the.
[42:54] Variance being resolved.
[42:57] I'm concerned about third street and I don't know, I
[42:59] didn't don't know what your going to do regarding that.
[43:04] Has that, has that been.
[43:06] Taken off is that variance gone for the third street
[43:09] pergola?
[43:13] Yes.
[43:14] Yeah. The side. Yeah, because that's okay. So that's no
[43:19] longer an issue no longer.
[43:20] Okay. That's all I needed to know. Thank you.
[43:33] Good evening. Good evenings, bill James.
[43:35] 53 59 St. Paul Boulevard.
[43:39] I live across street from that bar for.
[43:42] 45 years and I had some concerns.
[43:47] There's two by zero already.
[43:49] In you're talking O Locklin's and the yacht center.
[43:52] That place should be a gym or a bar or
[43:55] a, a doctor's office or something that.
[43:57] Not a bar and, but it is so.
[44:01] I want to, you wanna increase the.
[44:03] Occupancy from 30 to what?
[44:07] I never, I heard another number.
[44:09] You can do it the 50, 60, 90.
[44:12] So that's one question.
[44:15] The second is
[44:16] it's been a noise machine for forever.
[44:19] And
[44:22] it's if they're gonna put chairs in, if the dining.
[44:25] Outside with the smoking cigars that stink weed, marijuana that
[44:30] that comes out of them, them places that place would.
[44:34] It
[44:35] prior to the pandemic.
[44:39] Let's see.
[44:45] It's gonna be lake heaven, a noisy neighbor.
[44:47] From noon until two in the morning.
[44:50] It's
[44:53] there's not, there's a lot, lot of.
[44:56] Noise coming from schooners and pelicans along the river.
[45:01] Which is noise. And then after midnight in the Charlotte
[45:04] parking lot with the squealing tires and the gunshots and
[45:07] everything else that comes from the other side of.
[45:09] The river it's it's just, I don't think we're we,
[45:14] we need another one.
[45:16] The main thing is what are you gonna park?
[45:19] There's no parking on. There's no stopping on Parkview. There's
[45:23] no stopping.
[45:24] On Somerville drive, you come out of the bar, you
[45:27] look across the street and there says no standing what
[45:30] arrow's going both way down. St. Paul Boulevard.
[45:34] The only parking they have is in that parking lot
[45:36] or on third street, which is.
[45:38] Not only by the town.
[45:40] S so
[45:43] what else?
[45:49] The little bit that I have to, when I have
[45:51] to cut the grass, I have to walk out there
[45:52] and make sure there's no bottles, cans, cups, and everything
[45:55] else from people who get out of the bar.
[45:57] Drinking and just toss it on the front lawn.
[46:00] Not all the time, but yeah, I gotta do that
[46:02] before I cut the grass.
[46:04] It's a residential neighborhood.
[46:06] It's not like
[46:08] Ridge road and racing like that.
[46:11] So it's like,
[46:13] since a bad pandemic, it's been a residential neighborhood. It's
[46:16] quiet, peaceful, and I'd like to keep it that way.
[46:19] But the way it is now.
[46:21] It's like, it's going to be that the, like, she
[46:24] should take that back. The way it was was there
[46:27] was no quality of life. I mean, it was like,
[46:30] I have a boiler. I don't have a hot water
[46:31] heater, so I have to have.
[46:33] The windows open.
[46:35] That was when, when it was just 30 people.
[46:39] Or through the occupancy.
[46:41] We'd have to close the window. Sometimes we'd call over
[46:44] there depending I wounded about five different owners have owned
[46:47] it over the course of those years.
[46:48] Some of them were great and some of them were
[46:50] just ignore us. So, you know, you call the police,
[46:54] police, do a good job. I always did. They come,
[46:56] but.
[46:58] They're gonna come all the way down to Somerville to
[47:00] tell them to.
[47:02] To calm down, but
[47:04] they got better things to do than do that.
[47:05] So, no, I'm not for this and I don't think
[47:08] it should be there.
[47:10] So, thanks. I appreciate it.
[47:14] Thank you very much, sir. No question. Okay.
[47:20] Does anyone like to speak to this issue?
[47:35] Hi, I'm Nancy.
[47:37] Griffin and I live on.
[47:39] 15 second street.
[47:42] My backyard backs up to their parking lot.
[47:49] I'm in favor of it.
[47:50] Except where it says over 30.
[47:57] Patrons.
[47:58] On the premise and if it's busy,
[48:02] there's no place to park.
[48:07] And
[48:08] because past owners.
[48:10] That used to be Friday night.
[48:12] Forget it St. Paul was full of.
[48:16] Cars all the way down and on my street.
[48:19] So I couldn't have any guests over cuz there was
[48:22] no place for 'em to park. .
[48:26] But other than that, I'm looking forward to the establishment.
[48:32] Thank you very much. Ma'am thank you.
[48:35] Does anyone else like to speak to this issue?
[48:46] Hi, I'm not a very good speaker. My name's Katie
[48:49] James.
[48:50] I live at 53 59 St. Paul.
[48:53] Across the street. Well, I'm all for.
[48:57] I like the idea of a restaurant.
[49:00] I don't like the idea of screaming people.
[49:02] Outside yelling all night long until two in the morning,
[49:05] I get up at four. I work at a hospital.
[49:07] There's little kids in the neighborhood and in the past,
[49:11] we've listened to unbelievable everything from domestic violence to.
[49:17] Gunshots to squealing tires to motorcycles.
[49:20] We've called police. They're wonderful. They come.
[49:23] But then 10 minutes later, they're back to shenanigans and
[49:27] it's, it gets old.
[49:28] Between all of the noise and all of the bars
[49:31] and all of the bikes.
[49:33] It, it, it starts wearing on the residence and we
[49:36] all.
[49:38] Want a community and get along and all that.
[49:41] So, I guess
[49:42] I'm for the restaurant and I'm for.
[49:45] You know, the development. I think it's great.
[49:48] But again, you know, enforcement of.
[49:51] Of behavior. And how, how do you, how do you
[49:54] manage that? What do you, what are we gonna do
[49:56] for that? The other thing is you, you cannot.
[50:00] Get an emergency vehicle down there. You had to get
[50:02] a firetruck down there.
[50:04] When you had people parks on both sides of the
[50:06] road, you couldn't.
[50:07] Little kids are running in between the cars. Cars are
[50:11] screeching jumping curves. Dogs are almost getting hit by cars
[50:15] cuz the speed down.
[50:16] There is incredible. I mean, people just come out of
[50:18] those bars and they.
[50:20] They're on it. They just.
[50:22] Whatever, whatever happens. They're having too much fun, I guess.
[50:26] So anyway.
[50:28] I'm, I'm not, it's a quiet place. It's a tiny
[50:32] residential neighborhood.
[50:34] We wanna keep it nice. We don't, we like the
[50:37] idea of having a little restaurant in there, but when
[50:39] you get people outside and they're drinking,
[50:41] and it's close to the sidewalk and they got a
[50:43] lot of cars parking. I'm not for that.
[50:46] And I mean, if it, if it can be developed
[50:49] in a manner that helps everyone and is good for
[50:52] everyone I'm for that. But it's.
[50:54] It's it, you know, we see this and we're like,
[50:56] here we go again. It's, it's one of those things.
[50:59] So.
[51:00] Thank you for listening. I just had to say my
[51:03] thing thanks very much. Ma'am yeah.
[51:08] Anyone else?
[51:12] With that.
[51:14] Can't get a motion to close the public hearing. Move
[51:17] it.
[51:17] Can I get a second, second.
[51:19] The public hearing is now ended.
[51:23] Madam clerk, you need a vote on that. I'm sorry.
[51:27] Okay, I'll get this right. One of these days mm-hmm
[51:29] .
[51:31] All in favor of CI. Aye. Aye. All oppose.
[51:38] The public hearing.
[51:39] Is no ended.
[51:42] Ma'am clerk. We have a resolution.
[51:45] Approving a special use permit for 5, 3, 7 St. Paul Boulevard
[51:50] in the sea business district.
[51:52] Motion to adopt. I'll move it.
[51:55] Can I get a second, second, an explanation.
[52:02] Thank you, Mr. Supervisor, this is again approving the special

[53:03] they complain. You know what I mean? And I know,
[53:05] listen, I know it's gonna, it's hard to keep things
[53:07] down. I mean, you're open at two o'clock.
[53:09] On Fridays and Saturdays, correct your hours.
[53:12] So, you know, just respect your neighbors. I would get
[53:14] to know 'em get a relationship with 'em and that'll
[53:16] help out a lot. So, and good luck. Really good
[53:19] luck to you.
[53:23] Any other questions or comments?
[53:26] I've been to fifth frame, honestly. And I, I think
[53:28] I went there for the food as well as the
[53:31] hazy IPA. So it is a, a dining.
[53:33] Establishment. And I know
[53:35] you know, the brewery part is, you know, a popular
[53:38] aspect that's associated with that. And you are in ironically
[53:41] resident and you've heard what the people say that.

[54:22] and, and how we communicate.
[54:24] And how you will communicate and.
[54:27] Take into account the residence surrounding your business.
[54:31] I think the residents will.
[54:34] Will be surprised that what they fear, isn't your clientele
[54:39] as I've been also the fifth frame several times.
[54:42] Investigating you, when you said you wanted to leave.

[55:28] Madam clerk, next item.
[55:30] Item number three.
[55:32] On the matter of providing opportunity for public comment on
[55:36] a conditional.
[55:36] Special use permit for Scott and Sandy Miller.
[55:40] To construct one additional in-law dwelling unit.
[55:44] On premises, 300 St. Paul street in an RR rural
[55:48] residential district.

[56:11] The public hearing is now open.
[56:16] Is there anyone I'd like to speak to this issue?
[56:30] Michelle to give an explanation. Okay, Michelle, can you give
[56:32] an explanation, please?
[56:36] Sure thing, Mr. Supervisor, thank you.
[56:38] This is in reference to 300 St. Joseph street in
[56:42] the residential, rural residential district.
[56:45] They have submitted an application for a special use permit.
[56:49] At their property located on 300 St. Joes Joseph street.
[56:53] Excuse me.
[56:54] To construct one additional in-law dwelling unit on the premises.
[57:01] And they was determined.
[57:03] Through seeker. It is a type two action pursuant to
[57:07] seeker purposes.
[57:08] Mr. And Mrs. Miller are both here. If you'd like
[57:10] to hear from them in regards to the additional.
[57:15] Dwelling unit.
[57:22] Mm-hmm yes.
[57:28] Good evening. Good evening.
[57:29] Sandy and Scott Miller, 300 St. Joseph street.
[57:33] As noted in the letter of intent that is included
[57:35] in the application.
[57:36] This year marks 130 years that our property has been
[57:39] in the Miller family.
[57:40] And our grandchildren will be the sixth generation to live
[57:43] on the property.
[57:44] The property was purchased by Scott's great-grandfather Charles in 1894.
[57:49] And the first generations of Millers farmed the land growing
[57:52] primarily tomatoes, celery, and of course around quite melons.
[57:56] Are proud and rich history in a Ronda KOIT includes
[57:59] Charles being one of the founders of Cenex school.
[58:02] As recognized on a plaque that hangs in its halls.
[58:05] Scott's grandfather, Henry and father Chuck.
[58:08] Being featured in numerous, locally published books and newspapers regarding
[58:12] the history of a, of Aranda, Kuwait and the flats.
[58:15] Chuck responding to the St. Paul fire. Department's very first
[58:18] ambulance call.
[58:20] In Scott speaking as the community representative at the rededication
[58:23] ceremony of Seneca school in 2003.
[58:27] And our younger daughter who was a student at Seneca
[58:29] at that time, cutting the ribbon.
[58:32] Since the very first generation, the goal of each generation
[58:35] has been to pass the property onto the next.
[58:37] And keep, what is affectionately known as the family farm
[58:40] and the Miller family?
[58:42] Construction of the in-law apartment. Not only meets the immediate
[58:45] need to keep our 85 year old mother safe.
[58:48] Mother's safe by eliminating her needs to navigate multiple sets
[58:51] of stairs.
[58:52] It is also a vital part of our plan to
[58:54] pass the property down to the next generations.
[58:57] Starting with our older daughter and her three children.
[59:00] Moving into the house on the property that her mother
[59:02] currently occupies.
[59:05] God willing Scott and I have a few decades left
[59:07] in this world.
[59:08] If that is the case and without the in-law apartment.
[59:11] Our younger daughter will not have the benefit of living
[59:14] on the property again, until we're gone.
[59:16] And she can move into the original farmhouse that we
[59:19] currently occupy.
[59:20] At that point, she would be in her fifties or
[59:22] sixties, her children would already have grown and left her
[59:25] home.
[59:26] And sadly her children would not have had the gift
[59:28] of growing up on the family farm.
[59:31] Alternatively with the existence of the in-law apartment when our
[59:34] mother's no longer with us.
[59:36] Scott and I will move into the in-law apartment and
[59:38] our younger daughter and her family will move into the
[59:40] farmhouse.
[59:43] In addition, since we are quickly approaching retirement age.
[59:46] Having both of our girls and their families on the
[59:48] property with us will be a huge help both financially
[59:51] and physically.
[59:52] Their ability to help pay taxes and upkeep costs.
[59:56] As well as provide the sweat equity needed to cut
[59:58] acres of grass.
[59:59] Pick up after dozens of trees and all the other
[1:00:02] maintenance that comes with the property and its many buildings.
[1:00:05] Will be much needed in our retirement years.
[1:00:08] Beyond that we envision the in-law apartment being a wonderful
[1:00:11] place for any of our grandchildren to live.
[1:00:14] When they're old enough to move out of their parents'
[1:00:16] home and the circle will continue.
[1:00:19] We do not anticipate non-family members ever living in the
[1:00:22] in-law apartment.
[1:00:24] The plan is that it will be strictly used by
[1:00:26] family members to help facilitate keeping our future generations on
[1:00:30] the property.
[1:00:31] While going through this process, we noticed that the motto
[1:00:34] of this amazing town is the town of a lifetime.
[1:00:37] For us and our family, the goal is that it
[1:00:40] continues to be the town of generations.
[1:00:44] Regarding the actual design and construction of the in-law apartment.
[1:00:47] We would like to note that our surveyor and site
[1:00:49] planner.
[1:00:50] Architect and builder are all around quite residents.
[1:00:54] We are happy and proud to support these three amazing
[1:00:56] local small businesses as part of this endeavor.
[1:01:01] We appreciate your time and consideration and look forward to
[1:01:04] the opportunity to work with the town on this project.
[1:01:07] Thank you. Thank you very much.
[1:01:17] Is there anyone else signed up to speak to this
[1:01:19] issue?
[1:01:26] With that, getting a motion to close.
[1:01:28] The public hearing moved. Can I get a second?

[1:18:45] Rochester works for.
[1:18:47] A job training internship.
[1:18:49] Program. So they provide, they do the vetting of interested
[1:18:54] parties that they would want to come and work for
[1:18:57] the town.
[1:18:57] And, and it's like a job training program.
[1:19:00] And I, I, I apologize. I came up last week,
[1:19:04] but this is a volunteer based program so that the
[1:19:06] employees that, that come to us.
[1:19:09] Through this program, our
[1:19:11] our volunteers and the way it works is if it.
[1:19:14] If they are, if it's interested on both parties to
[1:19:16] hire them, full-time in a later date, then we would
[1:19:19] be compensated partially for their employment.
[1:19:24] Any questions or comments? Yeah. I have a couple of
[1:19:27] questions. When, when it mentions here, Aaron.
[1:19:30] Sponsor is, is that one of our employees a sponsor?
[1:19:33] Yes. And there's someone that's Rochester works correct? That you,
[1:19:37] you know, you correct your.
[1:19:38] Correspond with, for what, whatever the reason is. Yes. Correct.
[1:19:42] First of all,
[1:19:44] you know, I've done my research, this, you know, I'm
[1:19:46] all I believe in workforce development. Absolutely. This is I'm
[1:19:51] glad we have a re.
[1:19:51] Resolution here, cuz we've never had a resolution for this.
[1:19:54] It looks for, for a year.
[1:19:57] And I think, and I've talked to some of the
[1:19:59] D P w.
[1:20:00] Over, you know, the past week, since this came about,
[1:20:03] I know we've had, I think we've had one or
[1:20:05] two employees come out of this.
[1:20:07] And became employees of the town, which is.
[1:20:10] That's a success success. Yes. The only question I have
[1:20:13] are, are, do we.
[1:20:14] When they come on, are we drug testing? Anyone?
[1:20:17] Do we drug test these people?
[1:20:19] That's a question I have.
[1:20:21] Jason, anybody know, do we drug test them?
[1:20:26] You know, if they're using our equipment and, and I
[1:20:28] read in here, if they have a driver's license, they
[1:20:30] could drive our vehicles. Correct.
[1:20:32] Are they allowed to drive our trucks? If they have
[1:20:34] a, a driver's license.
[1:20:36] I don't know that would have to be a departmental
[1:20:38] decision, but we drug test for if they're in the
[1:20:42] pool for the CDL.
[1:20:44] Random testing, but we don't do a pre-employment drug test.
[1:20:49] Okay. It's just a concern that if they're gonna use
[1:20:51] our equipment,
[1:20:52] drive our vehicles. It looks like.
[1:20:54] You know, they can drive our vehicles with a legitimate
[1:20:57] driver's license. So.
[1:20:59] I don't know how other board members feel about that,
[1:21:01] but.
[1:21:03] Just a concern of mine. I think the, the drug
[1:21:06] test should be part of this.
[1:21:08] Yeah, Mr. Perricone, and we probably can address that through
[1:21:11] policy.
[1:21:12] By sending a drug test policy.
[1:21:14] For internships and I'll work with legal and, and get
[1:21:19] the right wording on that. Yeah. Yeah. And I, I
[1:21:22] don't think that.
[1:21:22] Will we don't have to come back for a vote.
[1:21:26] Would just be part of the.
[1:21:28] The program of America? Well, I think, I think it'd
[1:21:30] be addressed. I think it should be addressed. I, I
[1:21:32] don't think we get pushed back from it, but they're
[1:21:35] gonna send employees here.
[1:21:36] Losing our, whatever they use, if they're over at the
[1:21:39] D P w tools, even if, especially if they're driving
[1:21:42] vehicles.
[1:21:43] If we have a policy in place, I, I, I
[1:21:45] would feel in, I'm glad we have a resolution here.
[1:21:47] I've never seen a resolution on this behalf. It's for
[1:21:50] a year. Really good.
[1:21:51] Listen, if it helps the department I've done my, you
[1:21:54] know, I've talked to D P w they like the
[1:21:55] program, so that's all I have to hear that it's
[1:21:58] a good program and it works.
[1:21:59] So strap this out work with yeah. With Madam commissioner
[1:22:03] and yeah, I would all, typically we, people.
[1:22:08] In this nature, we would also not have them alone.
[1:22:10] Mm-hmm so I understand you're concern. Yeah. There is
[1:22:12] supervision. Of course. Always. Of course. Yes. Okay.
[1:22:18] But I, you know, I'd like that you have a
[1:22:20] communication too with I'm assuming this is what Rochester works.
[1:22:23] Someone's there that.
[1:22:24] TNTs. Yep. And I don't, I don't know if this
[1:22:26] is the only town that does this. I, I don't
[1:22:29] wouldn't think maybe not. I don't know if other towns.
[1:22:32] Do this same program. I don't, I don't know. I'm
[1:22:34] I'm not sure. Yeah. I'm not sure either. So, but
[1:22:37] I'm not sure we don't really have, you know, I've
[1:22:39] read this. I.
[1:22:41] Mean, we can have to up the, what I heard
[1:22:42] we at one time we had like five or six.
[1:22:44] Right. Yes. Before you could have five or six, the
[1:22:46] pandemic, we did have times when we, yeah, yeah. Mm-hmm
[1:22:49] okay. And they could be here up to six
[1:22:51] months or, you know, it all depends on how they.
[1:22:53] Do so. Okay. Correct. But I'm glad we're gonna talk
[1:22:55] about a policy, cuz I would like to see that
[1:22:57] okay. Put into the, the thing. Okay. Absolutely. Thank you.
[1:23:03] Any other questions or comments?
[1:23:08] Would that all in favor? CI. Aye. Aye. Aye. All

[1:26:12] Motion to adopt hold.
[1:26:15] Can I get a second, second.
[1:26:18] May I have an explanation, Ella.
[1:26:21] Town engineer.
[1:26:30] Good evening, Wes petty from Lobel associates. Last week, we
[1:26:34] came with a.
[1:26:35] With a, a proposal for you guys to, to review
[1:26:39] a two-phase process for updating your zoning regulations.
[1:26:44] Really we, we feel, and I, I think the town
[1:26:47] staff would probably feel the same. And maybe even in
[1:26:49] planning board and zoning board members,
[1:26:50] the administrators of the, of the, of the code.
[1:26:54] Would feel that an update is.
[1:26:56] Is is needed here for the, for the town of
[1:26:58] Aranco with regard to your zoning. So.
[1:27:01] The first phase. I think that's something that can be
[1:27:03] done pretty quickly. Right. We can have, we can have
[1:27:07] results to you.
[1:27:08] And something to adopt in the near future to take
[1:27:11] care of some of the easier.
[1:27:12] Components administrative components of the zoning regula regulation. And then
[1:27:16] we would recommend that gearing up for the phase two
[1:27:20] component.
[1:27:21] Recommend that the town establish a zoning update committee.
[1:27:25] With maybe a member from the planning board member from
[1:27:27] the zoning board.
[1:27:29] Maybe a member of, of the town board.
[1:27:34] And we could talk about some other entities as well,
[1:27:36] but that would be.
[1:27:38] Helpful for the, for the zoning update. So.
[1:27:41] I dunno if you've got any questions for me. If
[1:27:43] you'd have an oppor, had an opportunity to look at
[1:27:45] the proposal.
[1:27:47] Happy to answer your questions. If you have any.
[1:27:51] Any questions or comments?
[1:27:54] Do you zoning review is something I've been asking for
[1:27:57] for quite a while. So I'm glad to see this
[1:28:00] possibility of this occurring.
[1:28:01] Yeah. Yeah.
[1:28:03] Well, we've, we we're happy to get involved because we've
[1:28:06] been working with intricately for past the past two years.
[1:28:10] And so we have a good idea of where things
[1:28:12] stand and, and where things could be improved.
[1:28:17] And this would be mainly on the zoning and planning
[1:28:20] side.
[1:28:21] And for the other
[1:28:24] portions of who I will. Yeah. This would be strictly
[1:28:26] chapter two regarding chapter 2 30, 5 of the existing town code,
[1:28:30] which is the zoning chapter.
[1:28:32] Yep. Any other questions or comments?
[1:28:35] No just that our residents have been asking for this
[1:28:38] as well. So I think this is long overdue.
[1:28:41] Okay, well, and what I, obviously it is long overdue
[1:28:45] and what I'd like too, it's in, it's in a
[1:28:46] resolution form too. That mm-hmm , you know, as we,
[1:28:49] as they move.
[1:28:49] On and, and do other tasks for the town that
[1:28:52] we have a resolution to approve.
[1:28:56] What they're doing in costs and everything. And so we're,
[1:28:58] we know what's going on. So I appreciate that too.
[1:29:01] Thanks, Wes. Yeah, absolutely. Sure. Yeah. I, I think you.
[1:29:03] Have a pretty much a fixed cost.
[1:29:06] For the entire, yeah. So we we've, we've suggested for
[1:29:10] phase one that it to exceed not to, not to
[1:29:12] exceed. Right. So it could be.
[1:29:13] Less than $10,000 and then a lump sum of.
[1:29:18] 78,300.
[1:29:20] For the remain the phase two, but if for some
[1:29:24] reason,
[1:29:24] through the public participation components and, and things come in,
[1:29:28] you know,
[1:29:29] really shy of what that is, you know, we can
[1:29:31] adjust that as necessary.
[1:29:33] So is this one resolution for both?
[1:29:36] For phase one and phase two phase two, phase one
[1:29:38] and phase two. Yeah. So phase one would be the
[1:29:40] immediate things that we can change now.
[1:29:42] And in phase two public comment. Yeah. I would like
[1:29:46] to get some of the developers in town.
[1:29:48] Involve some of the residents in residential.
[1:29:52] Input go back throughout historical.
[1:29:55] Passing got some of the problem areas.
[1:29:58] That we have look at parking environmental.
[1:30:02] Of the full impact, which would take mean that'll take
[1:30:05] some time. You, you mentioned it last week, too. West
[1:30:08] that'll that'll take some time. Should take a little bit
[1:30:10] over a.
[1:30:11] Year to do. Okay. Yep. We're anticipating 12 to 14
[1:30:13] months.
[1:30:15] For phase two.
[1:30:17] And we're gonna get updates, correct? Yep. You'll come and
[1:30:19] update. Absolutely. Especially once you get into that phase two,
[1:30:21] cuz that's, you know, that's gonna be time consuming as
[1:30:24] well too, but yes, Absolut.
[1:30:25] Absolutely. And that's also another reason why we might want
[1:30:27] to have a town board member be a part of
[1:30:30] the committee, or maybe just, just someone, a liaison to
[1:30:33] the committee.
[1:30:33] Okay, right. To stay, stay in touch with what's going
[1:30:36] on. Good idea. Okay. Thanks. Sure.
[1:30:39] And the other thing we would like to do, Mr.
[1:30:41] Perricone is.
[1:30:43] Is video all of it, cuz it won't be open
[1:30:45] meetings.
[1:30:46] But I think those discussions will be.
[1:30:49] Beneficial in our dovetail.
[1:30:52] With the improvements we were making on the it side.
[1:30:55] For both ICAT Facebook and, and the other communications with
[1:30:59] the public.
[1:31:01] And I don't wanna put you on the spot was
[1:31:02] after after this, do you see something else coming
[1:31:06] down the pike that needs, you know,
[1:31:08] attention for a code for a code update. Yeah. For
[1:31:11] anything, you know, after this, these two phases, anything comes
[1:31:15] to mind right now, not off the top of my
[1:31:17] head.
