exterior perit waiver for the period of
June 1st to August
31st and there is
a there is a dve um
letter and package to kind of identify
the same thing from the previous years
we just continue with the changing the
dates and and continue to carry this
program forward last year um we were
able to give back to our neighborhood
almost
$24,000 as incentive for encouraging
home owners to um pull permits which is
very important make sure they pull the
permit get it inspected by the our court
enforcement offic so make sure they are
doing the correct thing and applying the
code evenly across so I'm looking um to
continue this program and to continue
our give back to our neighborhood as
they continue to revitalize the neighood
across the
[Music]
city open for
questions go ahead please uh so thank
you definitely sounds like a wonderful
opportunity to offer our our homeowners
or individuals wanting to like do this
type of work in their homes um based on
the conversation we're able to have and
definitely I like to see a
substantiating documentation on the back
end to speak to some of the added
benefits to our community uh as we seek
to have more budgetary conversations
throughout the year leading up to this
upcoming budget season I just want to
make sure at least I am being consistent
and evaluating all um opportunities
where we are trying to make a
concessions with our community just so
we can speak to those in in further
detail when the question is ultimately
asked how do we pass a uh successful
budget that the mayor will approve
am questions go ahead please chairman
the wording
uh highlight have for the maximum permit
value of
$35,000 that for the construction value
of 35,000 not the value
of permit fees no no no that's a
construction value so and this applies
to residential construction that is
that's correct yes on one to four unit
residential property one to four
units for bullet on the
bottom go ahead please I just um wanted
to have you highlight I think that you
had told us how much it was that we
saved the residents last year it was
around yes I did mention that but I can
pull that last year on the the regular
permit that's the application fee wave
was
$4,280 for a total of
200 255 permits that was pulled within
that period of time that was weigh
$56 this back here and then the fencing
was U 24 permits Val
$1200 and Roofing $85 permits $8,500
totally
$23,988
uh this is the largest um incentive give
back to our community is the highest
year last
year and um know there homeowners are
looking forward for this um some of us
might say it's U we're losing Revenue
but at the same time we're giving back
to our community we're buying in to them
re having the houses and at the same
time this is our incentive towards them
continue to pull the permit rather than
them working without permits on weekends
and evening and not pulling a permit by
allowing them to pull the permit W up
the fees and get the work done
that's for
required go ahead please sorry okay so
um Mr M usually four um it's usually one
to three there res four units don't they
become commercial a four unit
residence I I would not be able to
answer but this is the same uh
information that we had from the
beginning so we just carrying power here
to years so there's been a lot of
discussion lately about commercial
versus residential so I mean it's I
don't have a problem changing it to one
to three I mean this is something that
we've been carrying year to year so as
we revisit it we can make changes as we
go along so if there is
a an agreement to to change to one to
three
I that um so president pfield is right
so there's been a lot about you know
four units become like a commercial
trash versus residential trash but you
probably just check what with code and Zoning just to make
sure and then change it to three if need
be
or I mean we can I'm up to I mean
changing it the want to me that's um the
council's direction I'm okay with
changing it 1 to three 1 to three okay
yeah so Mr M with this um it it it
increases the value of the home does
that also
increase assessment assessment on their
property well at some stage if an
extension is done or A change is done on
the property while they're doing
construction yeah that will take an
assessment
increase that's what Mr MO is saying
generally if it is a maintenance issue
it does not increase the value of the
property if it's an expansion
or increase in the functionality of the
property then the assessment would go
up go ahead please and then from our
conversation I don't know if I was
explicit in in this setting but I would
like to see um an account of how many uh
expansion efforts and then what was that
additional value added to our city just
so we can properly identify the full
impact of this program and then since it
has been year to year to here or it's
been here since I've been on the council
I think an appropriate conversation
would then be um how do we evaluate
maybe streamline this into into the
budget if that's an opportunity but uh I
think looking at the permanency of this
and then are there other facets of uh
coding that we can evaluate for these
types of gains as well if that's what
the data
reads go Mr M would this have already
then however been a part of our budget
planning for 202
for talk so that's something we can
consider to add this into the line as
a revenue reduction can I say give back
so we can account this in and out of the
budget on code's
Department I
am we will have to engage the assessor
office to look at the the 255 plus 2485
cor to see which one triggers an
expansion or a
change that uh would ultimately U adjust
the assessment
value that is something I can reach out
to and and see if we can get that done
thank
you go ahead so timing wise though we'll
put this back um because we'd have to
come back to our next committee meeting
is that what you wanting us to do we are you because we're looking to have
this start on June 1st is that some
information you wanted to to kind of get
on hand and then look at it over into
next year so I would say since it would
appear that many residents in the city
have functioned with this understanding
already in mind I think delaying that
especially you speak so confidently
about the program I'm not challenging
that I think for me I would like to ask
to kind of continue and then should we
identify any uh variations I I would
like to have the opportunity to kind of
readdress this at the council yes
absolutely we u i I do have notes and
that we'll follow up and get those
reports to all of us so will we have the
reports by um Friday are you saying
before we get to um not okay I been able to answer that
control with staff availability I will
send out request to the May sh and ask
the staff
to to get that report for us
okay I'm guessing it shouldn't be long
because the reports that reports appear
but it's just that they have to look at
the type of formats that was
pulled the type of work that was done
any other
comments no but next week is May 28th I
mean our our meeting is May 28 yes so
that's what we move forward with this
and we'll follow up with those reports
and make sure you have them in hand so
in the future I would ask for that going
forward along with the permit report I
would ask for also the expansion or
anything of maor impact thank you I just
do have one other comment about putting
in the budget um I'm not so sure that we could do that and make it work
because in the budget we give a uh
definite number like let's say 25,000
but if there are more people that take
advantage when we get to that $25,000
what happens then so we we want to keep
in mind if we give a definitive number
then when we get there what happens to
the people that may go over I know that
it's not something we need to discuss
today because we're not in budget season
yet but coming close um then you know we
can talk about then so I just want to
make sure that we consider that you know
we've made this work the normal
budgetary process would be is you have
to find some way to offset this
right
so I shouldn't say Rost
cost all right any other comments so but
I understood Mr M to say that there's
been return on investment based has
there any has there been a return on
investment with this program what what
the coun what the city has waved has
there been an increase in um well that's
the report we going to look at we never
looked at it nobody never has where
we're looking it as the incentive of
getting back 20 almost $24,000 so work
was performed 255 permit regular permit
was pulled within that that given time
period last year plus the 24 plus the 85
permits within that 3 months
time so a lot of work was done during
that that period of
time and then uh sorry
go ahead please and if I just lastly add
definitely looking forward to planning
my uh um shadowing of the Cod Department
in the near future really excited about
that um but I would love to hear from
this department um there after this
season uh just to understand to get a
better indication of if there are any
unforeseen hurdles or issues that they
notice when they're in but I always love
your information and sharing it with the
table and and I just would like to add
one other Mr M and since we have um new
uh person heading up the cod's
department I think it's make make sure
we get this information CU they're not
going to be familiar with it they
weren't here last year no I did have the
chief B request a meeting with him I met
with him a couple weeks ago okay because
when I asked for the report he asked so
he did submit a report and asked to have
a brief meeting so I high like the
program okay with him all right yes and
I walking through the detail of the
program so you get a better
understanding of this program that we
are running for the last several years
thank you
all right so the only change we're going
to have in this document here is that
the first bullet on the bottom section
is that residential property one to
three
units all right S have a motion to move
I'll make the motion so move second all in favor I I thank you the
next
item is a swimming pool operat agreement
with boys and
Club you going do that me
to I don't Council has any question that
this is just a basic renewal of our
operating agreement with the poison
Girls Club to run the swimming
pools uh they have submitted a uh
proposal just under
$200,000 uh it's
uh a little flexibility with Central
Park opening so playing around with what
those hours would be where might extend
them somewhat based on demand or
weather uh it's a good partnership and
relationship where they do the Staffing
for the lifeguards and related activity
and uh again we're looking forward to
having Central Park pool open up and
running question go ahead please so um
you said a little bit of FX ility would
made a change in the cost but maybe the
hours is the only thing the actual cost
I think went up a little bit in this
I'll give you the numbers from last year
this this is up a few th000 from what we
paid last year but it reflects the
hourly rate for the
lifeguards okay M how many years have
the boys and girls been doing this go
ahead please goe sorry how many years
have Bo
been any other
comments second second all in favor any
other business for
finance we have a motion to
adour move second all in
favor
governments I would like to call to
order government operation and for on to
request the authorization dep part
hydrochloric acid 2024 for the water
department I'll cover this uh so like it
say every year the water department
solists bid for hydrop forc acid for our
water wells um chemical is used in the
treatment of our Municipal Water um we
put it out the bid a low bid was
received from Univar Solutions and
$51,100 uh are Au recommending to
purchase the product from Universal
solutions for our Mr
water
questions seeing none I have a motion to
move so Mo second all in favor I I thank
you any other business for government
operation motions for second all in
favor I I thank you thank you I'd like
to call the order City development and
planning uh we have 17 items on the
agenda the first item is the discussion
a possible agreement regarding pad bolts
in Central Park I don't see Mr lefon
present is there anyone that's supposed
to be taking this over for him if not no
I'll address it this is a proposal that
has come in to operate paddle boats in
the
uh cities connect to zise
plake uh really I'm recommending that we
entertain this I don't have a
be structured
or uh look to charge people could be as
cheap as a few hundred might be
$1,000 the city council president gets a
discount uh to uh it's going back like
20 years ago we had paddle boats there
they went her to decline uh so this
would be a vendor coming in we would see
how it goes uh looking to get a little
revenue for the city but they would pick
up all the risk and assessment uh for
Staffing providing the equipment and uh
just managing the operation and so we'd
see how it is this year and then be able
to have a more formal uh relationship
next
year I do they because we have we just
have the lrs are they anticipating a
start time and we you know we'd like to
see the background information done the
company that they we look to get it
started as soon as possible sometime in
June running it through Labor Day uh and
again the question comes what's the
council think it's worth is it uh few
hundred $1,000 I don't think they're
going to participate if we set the
number too high and some of that
discussion could actually go into
executive session the council wants to
get
into the Min of
contract um what I'd like to see is
actually what they're offering you know
and all that without necessarily getting
to the price because that's going to
help us determine what the cost is going
to be so um I I have the woman's name
but not the name of the organization or
anything so I think if in two weeks we
could at least hear more about what
they're offering the uh organization and
you know have they done this before and those kind of things okay
other questions if they had a package
together and as soon be the number of
votes the type of votes
this business plan would the council
consider it for unanimous consent on
Monday M Patrick I I would I think it's
a great idea I you know heard many many
stories of um folks using the paddle
poats I think it would add yet another
you know feature to our beautiful
Central Park so um I definitely would be
in favor of but I'm hoping we'll bring
in $24,000 in Revenue um that was a Mr
mud that was
sorry I know you were coming but in any
case I I I think it would be a great a
great I'm not sure we can get it
together if we
could um get your hands up click in your
pen um I I really can't commit to you
set till I see the background I just
they want to make a promise and read
something and I like H so oh I did have
one more question Patrick so the other
thing I though uh question that I had
was um whether they would be also
responsible for taking reservations for
how that would handle be handled in
terms of you know not putting something
they're assum they're assuming the whole
responsibility for it
so yes Mr um so uh I know it was Tuesday
or Wednesday at the golf course I saw
arpad of bolts in the they're back there
by the by the sheds and I got thinking
of how much fun they were um when my
girls were little we'd always take the
paddle boats out Tuesday in the park the
fireworks so and there there were there
were constantly people on on the pond on
aoy Lake yeah with paddle boats I think
it's a good thing and without any
obligation or cost to us so I do in
favor of whatever you could put for and
if not to cast any aspersions over it
but if the council did consider it by an
animous consent Monday night they would
probably extend that discount for the
rides that's granted the council
president all the
council this is getting better not
taking any discounts I'll be in the
paper yeah I don't have a problem I mean
getting all the documents some this to
un consent part let me see if we can get
a package together it's or now it's
conceptual it sounds good
but we all know the devils in the
details and we have another council
member who's not here so that would mean
that everybody be up to be on board so
the sooner the better I know Mr um lefon
said he just kind of like there wasn't a
real they just approached them there was
nothing really hammered out yet so it
wouldn't matter to
me and we can consider for youit content
if we get all the
documentation
great okay uh the next item oh excuse me
item yeah item two to the award been in
contact with this connected police
locker and toilet room Renovations Mr
Wallen uh last session I came to you
with the award of three contracts for
the renovations sity police toilet and
locker room uh they were the mechanical
the electrical and the um General we did
not have a plumbing at the time as we
did not have anyone um put in actually
we had a plumbing not a mechanical so we
had to rebid the mechanical portion of
it fourth uh we did reach out to some
firms we did get uh a bid on it from eer
mechanical uh e mechanical um they seem
to be aggressively pursuing working in
the city they were also N Low on our
fire station and hbac maintenance
contracts so uh they have an idea of the
buildings and um we're comfortable
moving forward with it and this would be
our fourth contractor so that we can
move forward with the project as a whole
questions or comments entertain a motion
so second all those in favor thank you
item number three is being closed at the
request of Mr Wallen item number four to
authorize the issuance of vote permit
number 683 to MTX group yep uh we've
seen this one before um but working with
the law Department we discovered some
discrepancies but we want to make sure
is going forward that the applicant's
information is on the permanent not the
um installer of the sign so we went back
and we clarified that and we had them
add it we also had them uh add an email
that the certificate owner for the
insurance is going to be the property
owner which is uh scoa Holdings so now
that we have that documented we'd like
to um officially um issue the
revocable this is we didn't issue the
revocable correct Maxi before so this is
now the official issuance of it we'll
just act like we
never for 683 683 wasn't issue before
correct so we're going to move forward
now this is the insurance okay questions
or comments and a motion second all in
favor all right uh item number five the
issue authorization of issuance of a
vocable commit 684 to Maverick Quantum
Inc so uh same building simar shine same
Insurance holder different um company in
the building and same thing we had them
uh reapply for the correct applicant
information and signature of the
applicant not signature of the sign
company and that would be the standard
going forward when we do with vocables
to make sure that um usually it's like
an AJ sign they're very familiar we work
with them and they'll fill it out on
behalf but we would like to now see the
applicate signature and the applicant's
information and not do it as on behalf
of Mak sense questions or comments out a
motion so second all those in
favor thank you very
much uh item number six is discussion
seeker and Planning Commission
recommendation regarding the addition of
Section
26411 3 of connected city code regarding
the regulation and location of smoke
shops vape shops hook and VAP
consumption businesses there was a
public hearing that was held on April
22nd 2024 Mr
barage um yeah I'll take
this President um I think Jack Conelly
from the planning department is here as
well um as you know this was the public
hearing was held about a month ago um
it's part of the legislative process
we've been staff has been looking at the
proposed uh ordinance and uh has some
changes that need to be you know need
recommending to the proposed ordinance
and also giving you a way ahead here as
far as the
process um if as U Mr cin would go
through it in just a moment regarding
the the changes to the proposed
ordinance but since we're amending the zoning code this this needs to be
referred up to the County Planning
Department so if the changes as uh
discussed if there's changes to it then
the final draft you can transmit up to
the county on Monday via a resolution
saying that the proposed Vape ordinance
is attached for County's review and
pursuing to the state of law they have
30 days in which to do the
review because as you all know the the
more a atorium is coming up and expiring
in June pursuing to that then we need to
do a public hearing um prior to the
extension of that for another uh 3
months so um I would recommend that the
council pass a uh resolution calling for
a public hearing on for next week for
the 10th if it's necessary to extend
that
moratorium obviously it depends on what
you all do here tonight as far as
changing you know the the draft and then
subject to the County Planning
Department's review and
recommendations so that's the process
the big picture and Mr con will go
through some of the uh Provisions that
uh staff has been going through so the
first provision is pretty brief um in
section B location uh the only thing
that need to Chang is are to is not
included as one of the Z districts that
these will be prohibited in all the
other residential districts as long as
C1 2 3 and the I districts were included
C1 area R2 was just an oversight that
was not included um obviously I'm sure
we can all agree we'd like to see that
in there um the second ones the rest of
them are a little bit bigger we want to
change some of the radiuses um and I can
go through why we want to do that as
well um so in the next section c
restriction on location of H vate BR
smoke Andor vape shops um we decided to
take out paragraph 1 um in regards to
the radius regarding um residential uses
uh originally there was a th000 ft
radius in any residental in any
industrial Zone that was near uh within
1,000 ft of a residential district the
reason we decided to get rid of that is
because the majority of our uh
industrial districts are very small to
begin with um and pretty much all of
them have hes that are within 1,000 ft
of residential districts so I I pulled
the data
earlier uh M1 and M2 districts which is
which are our industrial manufacturing
districts are only about 11% of the of
the area of the city um to begin with
and the vast majority of those Parcels
that lie within those districts are
within the you know within the radius of
the residential so we'd effectively be
banning them from nearly all of the
industrial districts regard uh If This
Were to be enacted um given the fact
that the industrial is obviously very
clear and separate from the residential
um we didn't see that as necessary the
other reasons why we didn't see it as
necessary go with the next two items um
first of all there's going to be we
wanted to keep up the 1000 ft radius
with similar uses meaning if there's a
one smoke shop in that region that you
can't have another one within 1,000 ft
therefore if you have one in an M1
District unless things are very
perfectly situated which you're not
going to have a second in that
Industrial distri
um meaning there's only going to be one
per District close to Res relatively
close to residential I should say it's
not even going to be near residential um
but because of that we're going to
severely decrease the amount the density
of the smoke shops um there the last
thing in number
three um we wanted to switch it from
2,000 ft to 750 ft away from schools the
reason for that is again similar to what
I was saying before these are already
being
severely limited um 2,000 ft from as
it's currently listed right now would
effectively REM limit it completely um
and and it would effectively make it so
you cannot open one of these shops which
I understand is part of the purpose of
the moratorium however you know we need
to allow for some uses of it we can't
outright ban it completely um so the
goal was to get a 750 ft away from
schools um most of which are already
located in residential districts that
wouldn't
have any any use for this anyway there
are a few schools that I have listed
that that would be affected and that
would take that would uh eliminate some
of those business and Industrial
districts from uh consideration but for
the most part it would stay relatively
similar to how it is um again the
purposes written as it is um with the changes that I just detailed we
would still be severely limiting the the
smoke shops um but it would make it a
bit more accessible for them with that
was still making it completely uh
restricted for for our
purposes and just to follow on on Mr K's
comments uh regarding section two
currently section two there would
be a minor tweak there where would say
uh legal hookah lounge uh smoke shot and
vape lounge that's just added just to
make it
consistent and excuse me were you adding
that language it would be under two it
would be such legal Hooks and and vape
bounds in the original draft the smoke
shop was was deleted but was was not was
omitted and should have been in there so
that's just a corrective action okay and
then uh Madam president as you know the
council also got a a memo from the uh
from the Planning Commission regarding
uh this um while they didn't indicates
a a uh a uh specific percentage of the
floor area of a smoke shop Vape Shop
hooker Lounge um they did indicate that
it would be something some less than 40%
which the current draft has and just uh some localities have gone down as far
as
25% so I'm just giving you a range 25 to
propos was was take ordinance that
language was taken from the Town of
Babylon so other localities have G to
25 so just giving the council a range of
uh
numbers um so you were there with a
planning meeting do you want to talk
about that please uh effectively what
they said is they wanted to they thought
40% was too large of an area um because
you can their their main concern is you
could have 30 8% of the floor area be
dedicated to smoking materials and then
the rest just be filled with they call
it fluff items um so technically it's
not 40% of the floor area that's that's
we smoking um and they can be legally
operating but it would effectively be
operating as a smoke shop so that's why
they wanted that threshold uh lowered as Mr BR said they don't have a specific
number they wanted it something closer
to how a sparts operates um with you
know smoking products in the back and
speaking with uh Christine perano
upstairs we thought I mean clearly
stewards is not a smoke shop um so we
wanted it a bit more than that 25% in
our estimation seemed like a fair number
um as Mr BR said we got that was similar
to other municipalities in the
area so um my my only concern with that
is that smoke shops that's all they have
is so um it's not like STS where they
have ice cream and cigarettes smoke
shops that's that's all they have so
um I'm not sure if we I'm not saying
that we shouldn't lower it I just don't
want to make it so restrictive that
there we're essentially trying to tell
them they just can't have their products
um advertised not I don't both CHS but I
think we need to be fair and how we U
put this legislation together I think
that's fair yeah they uh the reason they
brought it up is there was a uh was a
convenience store opening up and when
they found out that it could be up to
40% they found that it would they were
effectively going to operate as a smoke
shop based on the conversation that was
had in the Planning Commission meeting
with with that applicant um so that
that's what spurred their
recommendation yes Mr Tor I did notice
one um convenience store that that did
um advertise as a smoke shop on half of
the store that smoke shop sign came down
so um I know there's been some um
enforcement out there as well so and it wasn't on our list of even legal
smoke shops so yeah off officers put a
lot of effort into restricting the
sence Mr WS so I had one question
and just not really sitting that well
with me in the section c uh
reducing the uh the the property around
schools from
2750 as you as you mentioned just
referencing just the intent with which
this was presented to the to the council
in 2008 says this ordinance this
ordinance is an athet regul land use and
to protect health and safety and the
welfare of our community pursuant can
you just speak to the reasoning behind a
identifying 2,000 as an appropriate
measure and I understood what you
speaking towards of reducing that to 750
so you're saying why was 2,000
originally considered 2000 was that was
the model that we used that was out of
the Town of Babylon that's where the
figure 2000 came from so upon further
review that's where we're we're looking
at now taking that those feet and
looking at the zoning map and where
these location where these these shops
are going to go and then regarding the
750 you Al that that would really just
affect the the commercial districts in
C4 and C5 is that pretty much there so I
went through all the schools in the city
um there are a couple that come within
750 ft of this as I said most schools
wouldn't be affected by this anyway
because they're in primarily residential
districts there would be a few schools
that earn that 7 50 foot buffer um
effectively what it would be looking
like is this a majority of our
industrial districts which I said after
these things are about 10% of our our
city would be able to have smoke shops
as as a freight if they have one there
can't be another within 1,000 ft M it
would be severely limiting there C4 and
C5 which is downtown in our business
districts it would be special use permit
again with the same rules applying with
1,000 ft um what that allows the
Planning Commission to do is have a lot
more leeway over what's allowed so even
though you might come into issues where
you know it's near residential areas
that are technically C4 um the Planning
Commission has the authority to view
that as a whole and take that into
consideration when passing approvals and
just okay would you be able to provide
us a listing of those schools that might
potentially be affected absolutely thank
you and just following on Mr K's remark
regarding the special use permit um the
uh section 2649
9 subb of of the code says the proposed
building that would be the Vape chop or
use will not have a substantial undo
adverse effecta on adjacent property the
character of the neighborhood traffic
conditions parking uh utility facilities
and other matters affecting public
health safety and general welfare so
those even though you're decreasing that
as far as the special use permit the
Planning Commission has to factor those
uh uh items into their decision and just
as a sort of a a standpoint right now I did the analysis for this obviously
this building would never be a smoke
shop let's hope um but a 500t radius
from here would take you down to
Broadway to Union Street and State
Street so in 1,000ft radius would you
know be twice that size so so having one
smoke shop there is going to severely
impact the rest of that neighborhood and
make it clear if any
others did you have hand up um that was
good clarified point I I mean I was
questioning the 750 as well and how we
got to that lower number from 2000 so
and also wasn't sure why you know we
just didn't say a thousand since we were
you know using a thousand as the marker
in the other in in the other bullet um
but cuz I mean my concern is having them
close to schools we don't want them
close to schools um
so you know but sounds like that's a
good enough distance
we felt as if it was we spent a lot of
time talking about it um 750 we thought
was a was a fair number um and like I
said I looked at all the schools the the
ones that would be affected are still
going to be you know a decent amount
away from the industrial districts and
again that's only also if things are
perfectly placed to be as close as
possible if there's one on the farther
end of the industrial district that's
closer to a th000 or more feet away from
the school that's going to make it so
there's nothing else that can get even
remotely close
so these are for the um like people that
are goinging to be applying so for the
existing VAP the existing legal vape and
smoke shops um these those will be taken
into account when you when somebody else
is trying to locate so those would take
into account let me pull up or something
it's
on section one
um those businesses according to this
legislation would be would cease to
exist after 1 year um of the city
council adopting the legislation now if
they are in an industrial district
already they can apply for site plan
approval again if they are in a c4 C5
District they can apply for a special
use permit um if they are in another
District as I I know one of the main
problem areas is Upper Union Street
which is C2 they could apply for a use
variant um which at the last page
details that it could be granted if they
showed that they have not received
Financial
you know the proper financial
repercussions for opening the business
in the first place and the use variants
would only be good until they get their
finances in order once they you know get
a return on their investment then the
business would cease to exist again and
could not reopen again unless there was
a used variance granted which would be
unlikely
mhm I I don't know telling people
they're going to do their business in
the year I'm not sure that
[Music]
I'm not 100% but they they would have
the ability to go before the zoning
board of appeals and make their case as
to why they should stay you know
additional because of huiz of their costs so the idea is to
um to allow the business
to recoup their Investments past that
onee deadline and this wasn't anything
that changed from the last time it was
here either that something the in the in
the original
draft
Yeah do do we know how many existing
shops that will impact I don't have a
number for
you that would be
important would you be able to provide
us with that information I could provide
you with rough with a rough number at I
you know getting an exact one would be
near possible we could look
[Music]
it Adam president just for you know as
followup from my earlier comments just
for you know the way
ahead if um based on Mr Conley's
comments and the other comments uh if
you want to move forward with this you
could amend it as we've just discussed
mhm um and we'll put it on the agenda
for Monday and that will have a cover
resolution for transmitt up to the
County Planning Department for their
comment and review and then subject to
their comments then uh it would it would
come back before the council for for for
final action or any any other amendments
based on the there there be an
opportunity to amend after we find
oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah and uh so if but
I would I think what we're looking to do
is move move this forward so the county
has something to look at from us a final
draft if you will and then and then uh
have that process move forward and as I
indicated earlier also have a resolution
calling for a public hearing extending M
moratorium has that June 10th today so
we're keeping everything along okay so
that so I just have one other I have one
other question under item c number uh
number four where the about the window
coverage of the 20% and all those so are
these are these numbers according to the
um I know there's some sep head gu
guidelines these These are actually out
of the the signage wage you see there is
out of the city of
Buffalo's uh ordinance dealing with Vape
Shops and and and the uh so that's where
that leg that's where those numbers can
and 20% is in our city code for all
businesses it is for bus for all
businesses so that's it's restating
what's already was already okay I'm that
is part of the
subra just want to make sure we're kind
of be
consistent okay mad president sir mayor
just I referen Monday and Mr O'Brien
reference Monday it's actually
Tuesday not that we don't all look
forward to getting together on Monday
and Tuesday
on
Tuesday absolutely so m p um I mean I
would like to move this forward so that
it can go to the county however um I
think the uh 25% piece needs to be
discussed um the recommendation of the
planing commission for
Section section
two
a 22 a yeah yeah under the uh definition
section of uh the substantial or
significant portion that goes through
it's a b c and d uh the 40% came from
the kind of babylon's code um other as
Mr Colin said in in my Research
indicates other locations have gone down
to
25% so that gives you a range that gives
the council a range to to work from MH
you can keep it at 40 or you can go down
to 25 or anything in between I mean it's
really up to you you feel comfortable
with it's just there's other as you in
that portion there other factors you
know how they
Define or described the operation of the
business so this is just
really narrowing and further so the um
Planning Commission recommends we lower
it just hasn't hasn't given a
recommendation as to what we lower too
they didn't give a specific number they
didn't have specific numbers on hand and
didn't want to throw stuff around
willy-nilly without you
knower
um discussion
[Music]
Council and again we're you know this we
can send this to the county and if then
we want to have more discussion or amend
it um maybe have some conversations with
the Planning Commission in terms of what
they're thinking because the memo that
they said doesn't really give a lot of
detail right okay so um have that
discussion and we could possibly change
it then or leave it as
is I mean if it's council's wish they you can put it up you can move it
forward with 40% then change it again
change it if you wish at you know when
you read get the comments from the from
the county were were amended in the
final Amendment form lower
mayor and the reality in these type of
things are you're going to get people
whatever number you pick and they're
going to be compliant there's also going
to be other people who will
be uh crafty clever
uh interesting in their design of their
floor space you know what's common area
what's a walkway what's
actual retail and so the wording there
howy have something has some kind of
sense that's enforceable and that we
want to be able to just manage it going
[Music]
forward anyone else okay um I mean I I I
think reducing it is the way to go just
based on everything we've been hearing
from for example the
um New York State toac Council
if the council chose a low
number is there a process where somebody
go to the zoning board of appeals or do
something where they had some unique set
of circumstances where they would then
have to
justify having additional space no no
it's it's it's it's it's from an
enforcement point of view as far as
what's your floor space what you got in
there as your inventory and product for
sale and it's way for the the zoning
inspector or the code enforcement person
to take a look make a make an assessment
on the floor space inventory what's this
business all
about
and um
40% substantial or significant it's 25%
you know 25% is
that significant or
substantial um like I said some
localities have gone down to 25% so
um
it's there's other factors that they
consider revenues dered advertising Etc
that that an inspector can can use but
it's just further defining the the the
uh the uh enforcement mechanism of
what's what's in that particular
store Mr Toro um having visited several
of them I mean it's the same they have
the same product store after store after
store I would say more than 40% of their
floor is dedicated to vape and smoka and
paraphernalia and things like that so um
40 and I mean 40 would I think a lot of
the stores I've been in would reduce
their inventory as it is now uh 25%
would even reduce it further um so again
I'd like to hear what um you know what
the Planning Commission recommends I can
see lowering it a little bit but the I
think the 25% would really limit what
they have in their shop and if we're
allowing their shops to be there then
they should at least be able to kind of
sell what they have I guess I 40% was a
number originally that was agreed upon
between the department of development
and the law office so that that was a
number that we took from a couple
different spots and and looked at um the
Planning Commission just agreed
so um I think we can move this forward
but we'd have to I still would like to
hear from the Planning Commission what
their um rationale was for that and we
could get that before um before it's
time to actually um within 30 days that
the council that the county would have
to send it back um I have to agree with
mror I think that we don't want to limit
it really too much so we're just
basically not giving people an
opportunity to run their business Mr you
suggested moving forward in
40% but that and amend it when we
receive the recommendation from the
county
exactly I'm good with that and okay also
Mr umbrian you want us to also move
ahead with the to call for a public
hearing for the extension of the more
20 so first should we U Move This
forward to the count do we have to move
this in a resolution to the county with
but and then do a second resolution um Madam president just so
I'm I'm tracking the changes here so
we're all on the same page so for
location we're adding uh R2 that's corrective action residential
area
R2 we're deleting in the section calling
for restrictions on location of hookah
lounges Vape lounges Etc we're deleting
one SE paragraph two would then become
paragraph one and paragraph three would
become paragraph two with the location
change to
750 750
ft and that you would remain at this
point 40% regarding the definition
portions that substantial or significant
portion is that is that
correct you would leave that at 40% at
this point but this is so I'll amend as
discussed and then um and then prepare
the resolution as the cover
resolution for the draft to go up to the
county yes
okay yeah we need to move yes we need to
move that so move as this disc okay
second all those in favor I okay now we
need a motion to um call for a public
hearing to discuss if needed the
extension on the
moratorium so second all those in
favor one final matter on this whole
packet Madam president there was a
Seeker I think that a Seeker resolution
declaring this as a non type two action
I think we should just wait on that
until we get the final product of the uh
ordinance ready to go and use that as a
companion piece of legislation once for
the final
okay anything else Mr thank you okay
thank you all right um

this SKC 40 project um I'll turn that
over to the
mayor thank you uh mam
president we've been fortunate done a
number of major announcements recently
on projects in the city uh this item
coming before you tonight I want to
thank
uh the landbank team ecni Community
Builders developers
Metroplex it will
have as big an impact or more than some
of the other things that have we've
announced and are getting bigger
headlines but it's going to clean up a
lot of blight within the area it's going
to create housing opportunities and
hopefully just continue the level of
excitement that we have on community on
this Community where people are making
Investments here and that they'll be
able to take advantage of your
moratorium on the price structure Mr
here but with that I turn it over to Mr
Gillan from uh Metroplex to go through
the uh proposal and the request we thank
the council it should be we thank the
council president for uh having us
tonight and for all of you for being
here I want to introduce Steve strikman
from our land bank love having backing
on our team s bua from Five Corners
development very involved in this
project Andy brick our legal
counsel Courtney Davis from LaBella
Associates and yon Thompson from
Community Builders who's already done so
much good work on the Aly Street
Corridor as the mayor said we're very
pleased to bring this forward this me
this is really we're riding on the
coattails of the great work done by the
legal team and the codes team here in
the city and the mayor and everyone in
this room to uh it kind of reminds me of
the wedgeway building we went after our
bad owner there we're able to collect a
huge fine get the building transferred
to a new owner we have a $20 million
project under way there with the help of
the restore theor program we want to do
the same here so first and foremost
though the cod's team the Leal Team Max
has been spectacular on this and she
joined the city team uh won a judgment
against the owner of this connected 40
properties of $760,000 that's the
biggest fine in the history of the city
as I understand it again I have nothing
to do with it I wish I could take credit
for it this it's so spectacular but I
can't and um with this so you not only
are you going to get $760,000 to put in
your budget but we're going to get these
blighted properties cleaned up which is
just so exciting and you see a couple
pictures there just go back to me if you
can the one building I've talked to the
council president on this upper left
many many times it's it's burned out
it's a disaster um you know you look at
the interior conditions of some of these
buildings along the Albany Street
quarter so it's it's really exciting
that uh this this judgment was levied uh
and now we're moving forward the plan to
clean up the pl
sites in addition this all of those
buildings are along the Aly Street
quarter adjacent to that Al Street
quarter of course is the Mohawk Honda
site which our partners at the county
agreed to buy and have closed on
purchased it for $980,000 and the county
has dedicated as you all know $3 million
to develop that site of arpa funding to
develop a grocery store at that site so
we've got all of this potential uh good
things happening on Aly Street and of
course the um Monda site is right next
to one of the great things about this
site it fronts both on Aly Street and on
State
Street next
slide when we looked at
developing uh the Monda site for um
retail and for new development it
quickly became apparent that you
couldn't do one project without the
other you had to run these projects in
tandem I didn't think of this I wasn't
smart enough but our team is is very
smart so they said You' got to run these
in tandem when we started showing the
Mohawk Honda site to to developers and
to uh interested retailers they said
what about all this BL on ay street
right next to s so you have to do them
in Tandem and that's why we're here to
talk about tonight we're moving them
forward at the same time we've put
together a great team commity Builders
Five Corners development Better
Community neighborhoods uh the
consultant team is very strong from our
environmental experts to CT mail laella
Andy brick Law Firm Jackson Demolition
and of course Metroplex of the
land this team has been very busy uh
over the last uh 6 to8 months surveys
have been completed phase one
environmental reviews completed Phase 2
is basically completed ongoing Geotech
so we're testing the soil ongoing
asbestos testing demolition budgets put
together asbestos abatement is underway
on these properties so we're getting
ready to develop the site this is the
same thing we did at the ALCO site this
is the same thing we've done time and
time again in this
community again not only did the county
buy Monda and get site control but we
went after and again the city uh was
super Cooperative on this uh we were
awarded a $2.75 million Grant from the
Restore New York program to demolish and
clean up this site and prep it for
development so we have that in hand so
again it's a development momentum we
have these properties on Aly street that
are coming under control we have the M
Honda side under control and now we have
this grant to help prep the M Honda site
for um development we're here tonight
because you need to play a key role in
moving this project before we want to
rezone and this is critical for this
project to go forward it's in a minor
change there's four Parcels on sken
street that are that need to be reson uh
and there are three Parcels on Albany
Street the four on all on sken street
two are owned by Sora and they're in the
process we're in the process of asking
those to be turned over to the land bank
the other two are part of this connected
40 the infamous connected 40 assemblage
all of the properties on Albany Street
are part of the uh uh the sk40
assemblage so you see uh on the first
Slide the current zoning see the red box
um on SKC Street see the small red box
on Aly street again four Parcels on
skincity three on on Albany we move
those into the green uh and um you can
see that all the adjacent areas are
already zoned uh you know as C4 so we're
making a very minor change with three
Parcels on ALB street that are part of
the sked 40 assemblage four on connected
Street what that allows us to do is move
forward with the project uh site a is
the Monda site to to demolish that
building almost an 18,000 ft building
clean it up remediate it site B there
are 10 Parcels there very blighted those
come down the buildings are unsafe Again
part of theu 40 assemblage site C
similar activity the parcels are cleaned
up they're heavily damaged that's the
fire damage parcel that you see in Aly
street now it has to come down it's very blighted and and dilapidated site
so we're able to clean up a lot of this
bried Corridor on ALB Street and here's
the good part uh what we are planning to
do with this great development team
we've put together is to build the new
grocery store of 16 000 ft um in site
a and build
125 housing units as well in site a in
site B on the lower left uh 80 units
site C 20 units so 225 units of new
affordable high quality
housing uh Fitness Center business
center community indoor outdoor space
you see all the green space on on the
map there's a lot of green space in this
project one of the things we talked to
the council president about many times
is having a very nice pathway from the
grocery store back to Albany Street
that's in the plan uh we have big buffer
areas around underground parking uh uh
you know first level parking of the
apartment buildings being uh first floor
parking so it's really a a very good
site plan and uh we're excited to move
it forward but we need to do this
uh zoning change this minor zoning
change in order to do this what does
this get us more more quality housing
removal of blighted and hazardous
buildings uh continue the the uh
development that we want to see in this
quarter provide access to Transit
provide walkable development and um a
tree line sidewalks we talked to the to many of you about you're concerned
that this be a walkable development have
good sidewalks have good landscaping and
really be a nice addition to our
community of course one of the reasons
we're doing this one of the drivers is
to improve access to fresh food enhance
food security improve quality of life
and and the store will create 25 to 30
new jobs as well so it's really a a very
creative development taking those
blighted buildings down that you won
this big judgment against this notorious
landlord who was um Breaking All the
Rules uh getting us 760,00 ,000 getting
those sites developed for quality
affordable housing taking the site that
the county purchased cleaning that up
knocking the building down and
developing it for
grocery to move this forward that's what
we're asking you to do declare your
intent that you often do to be lead
agency under Seeker which is required
for any project like this make a
referral to the Planning Commission uh
the evening on the zoning change and
they'll go through their usual process
and call for a public hearing as
well you see a couple of the skanky 40
properties there um they're really
blighted and um again they all get
cleaned up uh with this project and we
happy to answer any
questions um so you talked about the
grocery storees do you have has you
identified who that grocery store we're
under a non-disclosure right now but we
have a letter int of intent uh in place
we're working very diligently to
complete that transaction okay could you
give us a little bit information what
the timeline might would look like would
look like on this project the the
timeline is is we move this ahead take
the zone change to the Planning
Commission uh it's critical to allow um
uh this development to to move forward
uh and again it builds on the momentum
we've already seen on allby stre the
community Builder Hillside Crossings
project uh the Joe Allen
apartments and um uh some of the other
developments Hillside Crossing 2 um we
then move into the uh development stage
and bring the the project the building
designs and and other uh features of the
project back to the Planning Commission
for final review and move the project
forward overall do you know about and
the time onine I'm not trying to like
pin it down to the day we have been
meeting weekly for longer than I want to
tell you
we have a call every Friday with this
development team and we take notes and
uh it is moving forward um I would say
what would you think to me yeah Q2 Q3
2027 we would expect delivery so we
we're hoping to have all HCR approvals
by Q2 Q3 of this coming year and then
it's about a roughly a two-year build oh
okay the the key is getting the the
sites prepped and cleaned up uh getting
Monda cleaned up getting the building
down we have the restore Grant in hand
the developer the development team we
put together has the financing to
purchase these buildings from the
receiver that's has been appointed by
the courts to sell these properties so
you get your $960,000 this
year9 76 you got me all right and then
uh so that happens the demolition of
cond would happen this year the
demolition of the sky 40 properties
would happen this year hopefully this
year yep and then we'll have cleaned up
sites environmentally remediated like we
did look at the you know the the corner
of KRA all where we built that beautiful
new housing and cleaned up you know a
dry cleaner site that was very very
dirty you know so all of those things
take a little time but then we head into
the development phase and the
construction phase and it's a it's a very large exciting
project as a mayor said this Rivals some
of the larger developments that we've
seen happen in this community uh as a
result of our great partnership between
the county and the city and our unified
economic development team is it
conceivable that the the store the
grocery store will be open before all
the apartments are completed or there
like everything going if you want to if you wanted to add something to this
you could join Mr Gillan up here because
then you'd be on the cameras um is it
conceivable that the grocery store would
be open prior to that is it are you
planning just everything kind of launch
it at one time it's probably going to
happen all at the same time just CU part
of the funding from from the HCR is
going to include funding for helping to
support the grocery store okay so
realistically speaking it would all be
delivered around the same time I mean uh
the Monda site is obviously going to be
the first we're not necessarily phasing
it but it's going to be the first to be
built and then we're going to move on to
the other sites it's going to sites
after but it wouldn't be open until
everything else is finished even if yeah
okay thank
you Mr Wes uh so it's more of a comment
definitely scany winning and respect to
economic revitalization and
Redevelopment is definitely something
that I've come to just appreciate
whenever you come to our Council and
definitely is respective of the team and
its Collective work so to definitely
thank you for continuing to provide
these types of results um in that same
context I also want to say U taking a
Step Beyond that where it's apparent the
end users benefit from these types of
efforts where the grocery store and the
additional housing and some of the other
areas that you highlighted but also I
want to make sure there's considerable
Investments kind of speaking in in
spirit to what councilman Farley always
brings up um making sure that our small
business owners and our small business
contractors can see those wins as well
not to speak as though they do not um
but saying that we need to continue
making sure that there are also tangible
wins for those types of individuals
where having uh these developers come in
and help clean up definitely very
welcomed but I know we have some upand
cominging businesses within the
community who are truly prideful scant
dians that would love to be a part of
these efforts as well you know that's a
great point I'm glad you rais it we just
had an Outreach event up at the Mosaic
development on Crane Street inviting you
know the neighborhood in inviting the
local businesses in we'll do the same
thing here over and over inviting the
team in and I'm just comment on earlier
thrilled that you passed the pro housing
uh move that forward tonight thank you
because that's going to help us in so
many ways that is really be becoming
something that they they'll look at when
they're scoring these Grant applications
to the state so as your development
director said very well this evening
that's a very important that'll be
helpful to our grant applications that
we're applying
for Miss Patrick I just um wanted to
comment about the grocery store because
of course there's also the Electric City
grocery store going in at the other end
um and I'm just wondering if there was
ever consideration
of using this site for the Electric City
grocery store so that now in we'll have
two Grocery Stores um instead of one
both are still under development it's a
good question we have spoke spoken to
both groups they're both still under
development um um that's a question you
have to ask to call
up okay and I think this is fabulous I'm
very excited especially that the
demolition will happen within this year
is what I think I heard you say um so
the fence will be going up um the next
couple weeks around M Honda and um
you'll see the site remediated and the
other and the house and the demolition
as well we're just wait waiting on
closing the contract once that with the
housing once we close on that we'll demo
those Monda will come down sooner uh but
realistically speaking within the next
two or three months would be our V I
really want to thank the team the mayor
mat we've taken up a lot of your time
her time on preparing legal briefs and
other things for the development team
council president has been uh advising
us on this and working with us for
months now on this development you know
going back made some very good points
about when we should bring this forward
uh given the U the legal issues that
were surrounding this we're very
confident now this is the time and place
to move this project forward and and
clean up this this blight on Al Street
and and clean up the mwanda site as well
and again we should say Manda has been
nothing but Cooperative on this
abolutely great citizens of the
community held the option with the
county for 3 years so that all the
proper due diligence could be done with
the cleanup and Etc
so Mr M on the apartments are there
considerations for set aside low income
apartments yeah so the uh the entire uh
all of the buildings all four of the
buildings will be affordable affordable
in income regulated so so you have to
show
your your rent is based on your
income
okay there these are high quality units
Business Center Fitness Center
Parking uh Green Space uh these are
units every one of us would be proud to
live in they're made affordable by state
housing tax credits that are issued so
that um we don't price these out of the
range of hardworking connect idiot
basically and and that's a big part of
our our agenda as well you wouldn't know
the difference if this was a marker rate
or affordable housing it just happens to
be for affordable people who qualif yeah
thank you in terms of infrastructure um
you know we had this we had a similar
conversation when um the other Hills
side view went in terms of the sidewalks
essentially you know what the sidewalk
BLS look like and obviously walked it so
that is all built into this so that
we're it's going to become really
walkable yes absolutely it's all part of
our plan okay y a lot of green space
cleaning up light cleaning up
environmentally uh dirty sites and and
building quality units and uh making a a
walkable development okay we've spent a
lot of time we're viewing through the
complete streets program so we're very
familiar with what city wants and what
we need to deliver thank
you anyone else Chris Wen said to me be
short tonight be
quicket I have a tendency to go on but
we wanted to fully on this development
and we appreciate our whole team coming
out and U being here tonight we
appreciate you bearing with us this
exciting is there anything else you want
to add council members any other
questions statements okay so at this
time um the council would need to thank
you very much would to um need to
declare our intent act lead agency to
refer this to the Planning Commission
and who and we need to call the public
hearing yes public hearing call public
hearing but I would recommend until you
hear back from the Planning Commission
you want to wait yeah because what would
right so we need a time frame is okay so
um tonight we would need to
De I would like to request
right land just like to request that uh
the Planning Commission meets late this
month or in June because of juneth so
the meeting the last so they're meeting
the last one day of the month so I don't
think there's any requirement that you
have the public hearing before that but
I was hoping that the public hearing
could be either on June
14th dates June 10th or June 24th I mean
there will be public there people will
have the opportunity to speak publicly
the Planning Commission meeting they'll
have opportunity to speak at every one
of the council meetings as this gets
adopted down the road Madam president I
would recommend that the 24th because by
that time the Planning Commission would
have had their meeting and then there
you would have it on the 24th
and it would be draft legislation
perhaps for comment by that time based
on the actions of the Planning
Commission so you I'm saying putting it
out further um our public hearing our
public hearing on the 24th would be
based on that schedule would be by that
time there would be input from the
Planning Commission to we can work off
of that to draft an ordinance for the
public hearing for your review okay so
you can call for the public hearing hear
in now if you want but it will not be in
our regular cycle but it'll be put out a
little bit later okay thank you thank
you have do anything
please all right thank you so uh Mr o'ri
do we need to do these as three separate
resolutions um yes you do three separate
referral okay the seeker and the public
hearing all right first of all I would
uh entertain a motion to have the city
council declar as a leite agency second
all in favor I um I'd like to to uh have
the city council refer this to the
zoning um the zoning change to the
Planning Commission so second all those
in favor I I and third I'd like to ask
um city council to call for a public
hearing on June 24th so second all those
in favor I thank you very
much the remainder of our items are in
executive session so all members of the
public will have to leave
