824 00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:53,280 village has done anything to assess what 825 00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,599 um commitments to this plan is going to 826 00:43:55,599 --> 00:43:57,720 cost the village and what it's going to 827 00:43:57,720 --> 00:43:59,440 cost individuals I 828 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,400 mean like these M mitigation goals 829 00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,440 they're fine but you know it says reduce 830 00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:09,400 50% by 2030 how are we going to do that 831 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:12,559 um says U mitigation objectives 832 00:44:12,559 --> 00:44:14,680 decarbonize energy sources how are we 833 00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,800 going to do that um decarbonized 834 00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,760 transportation how are we going to do 835 00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,520 that um it just seems like this is very 836 00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:25,040 open-ended nobody's done as far as I 837 00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:28,440 know any cost benefit analysis on this 838 00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:30,400 um so I'm just wondering what the impact 839 00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,400 is going to be on the village 840 00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,880 taxpayers thank you Mr Conrad and I can 841 00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,079 tell you that I don't think we've done a 842 00:44:38,079 --> 00:44:40,200 comprehensive study of if we were to 843 00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,359 achieve all the goals uh how much it 844 00:44:42,359 --> 00:44:45,720 would cost in in in dollars and cents 845 00:44:45,720 --> 00:44:51,079 however when we do um individual things 846 00:44:51,079 --> 00:44:53,920 we always look at uh what is the cost an 847 00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:57,640 example is we're doing a pay 848 00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:00,920 blocks and next to at lot three which is 849 00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:03,680 the parking lot next to the elm and 850 00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:05,599 there's a substantial cost increase to 851 00:45:05,599 --> 00:45:08,160 do paper blocks versus asphalt and we 852 00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:10,680 looked at that we were able to obtain a 853 00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:15,119 grant um uh from mwrd that uh for the 854 00:45:15,119 --> 00:45:17,200 most part offsets the additional cost 855 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:20,440 for the village uh just recently we went 856 00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:24,680 out for uh purchase of electricity and 857 00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:27,680 there were different maybe uh manager n 858 00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:28,720 could give more of the detail but there 859 00:45:28,720 --> 00:45:32,000 were different plans um and we elected 860 00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:35,079 one that had I believe less of a 861 00:45:35,079 --> 00:45:37,079 negative environmental impact and there 862 00:45:37,079 --> 00:45:39,240 was a a cost of that but maybe you could 863 00:45:39,240 --> 00:45:41,920 give some more background yeah correct 864 00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:44,359 so on the consent agenda Item B uh 865 00:45:44,359 --> 00:45:46,240 refers to that Municipal aggregation 866 00:45:46,240 --> 00:45:47,920 program uh through that program we're 867 00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:49,680 able to aggregate the purchasing power 868 00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:52,040 of our residents residents don't pay any 869 00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:54,160 additional cost for electricity however 870 00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,000 we are able to go out to Market realize 871 00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:59,200 some savings with those savings uh we do 872 00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:01,839 uh purchase uh RAC so renewable energy 873 00:46:01,839 --> 00:46:04,119 credits so that's one example of several 874 00:46:04,119 --> 00:46:06,520 where we would look for options where we 875 00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:08,559 can reduce our environmental footprint 876 00:46:08,559 --> 00:46:11,200 without a cost to our 877 00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,710 residents 878 00:46:14,720 --> 00:46:17,920 sure if you sign on to this plan does 879 00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:22,480 the village

00:52:29,400 Building height and density the 1025 00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:30,799 applicant noted changes to the building 1026 00:52:30,799 --> 00:52:32,040 design and how the facade of the 1027 00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:33,480 building is articulated to provide 1028 00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:35,920 relief with each end being two stories 1029 00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:38,079 taller than its immediate neighbor the 1030 00:52:38,079 --> 00:52:39,559 applicant also noted that the project 1031 00:52:39,559 --> 00:52:41,079 will result in a reduction in total 1032 00:52:41,079 --> 00:52:43,520 commercial demand for public parking as 1033 00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:45,359 compared to the existing condition and 1034 00:52:45,359 --> 00:52:46,920 shared that they felt the project was 1035 00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:48,760 consistent with others in in and along 1036 00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,040 the BNSF Corridor and serves to support 1037 00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:52,720 the established Community Vision for the 1038 00:52:52,720 --> 00:52:54,599 area uh the plan commission was 1039 00:52:54,599 --> 00:52:56,520 supportive of the revised plans and 1040 00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:58,520 reiterated the importance of 1041 00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:01,000 revitalizing the West End Commissioners 1042 00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:02,920 noted the modifications through the plan 1043 00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:05,040 development process can provide uh 1044 00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:06,799 flexibility to code requirements to 1045 00:53:06,799 --> 00:53:08,680 achieve Go Achieve goals outlined in the 1046 00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:10,400 community Commissioners felt that 1047 00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:11,799 development could serve as a catalyst 1048 00:53:11,799 --> 00:53:13,640 for the area and affirmed the results of 1049 00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:17,760 the technical analysis that was done um 1050 00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:19,200 after deliberation the plan commission 1051 00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:21,480 voted 60 to recommend the application 1052 00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:23,280 with the following conditions uh parking 1053 00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:25,160 spots should be allocated number one 1054 00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:27,480 parking spot should be allocated lease 1055 00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:29,400 number two within the parking garage all 1056 00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:32,119 parking spaces except two most Northwest 1057 00:53:32,119 --> 00:53:34,000 parking spaces must be restricted to 1058 00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:36,200 compact vehicles snow must be removed 1059 00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,079 from the site and not stored on on the 1060 00:53:38,079 --> 00:53:40,839 property the photometric plan must be 1061 00:53:40,839 --> 00:53:42,200 revised to comply with the village 1062 00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:45,079 zoning code and a plat of consolidation 1063 00:53:45,079 --> 00:53:47,319 must be submitted staff worked with the 1064 00:53:47,319 --> 00:53:48,559 village attorney in developing the 1065 00:53:48,559 --> 00:53:51,040 attached ordinances um the applicant has 1066 00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:52,760 agreed to comply with the conditions of 1067 00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:54,200 the plan commission which have been 1068 00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:56,040 Incorporated in the attached ordinance 1069 00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:57,799 approving the plan development site plan 1070 00:53:57,799 --> 00:53:59,920 and design revieww permit and our staff 1071 00:53:59,920 --> 00:54:01,240 recommends approval of the attached 1072 00:54:01,240 --> 00:54:03,280 ordinances uh as reflective of the 1073 00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:05,040 recommended recommendation of the plan 1074 00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:07,960 commission and then attorney Schuster 1075 00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:10,240

00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:17,960 vote on the ordinances so I should uh 1079 00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:19,720 which one do we take first do we take 1080 00:54:19,720 --> 00:54:21,960 the or does it matter uh I would suggest 1081 00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:24,119 the text Amendment first because unless 1082 00:54:24,119 --> 00:54:27,200 that is adopted uh the plan development 1083 00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:32,000 ordinance cannot be adopted very good so first I will move for hold on make 1084 00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:33,760 sure I get the right one here uh an 1085 00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:35,319 ordinance approving a zoning code 1086 00:54:35,319 --> 00:54:38,160 Amendment so Mo move to amend the zoning 1087 00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:40,119 code to allow floor area ratio 1088 00:54:40,119 --> 00:54:41,760 adjustments for plan developments within 1089 00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:43,839 the C4 convenience commercial district 1090 00:54:43,839 --> 00:54:50,150 and we'd be changing it from one to 1091 00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:53,200 2.0 so I'm looking for a motion to 1092 00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:56,040 change the zoning code uh floor area 1093 00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:57,160 ratio 1094 00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:01,400 from 1 to 2.0 so moved thank you and a 1095 00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:05,280 second second thank you uh uh Tristy 1096 00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:08,119 Gale and Tristy Peterson um before we 1097 00:55:08,119 --> 00:55:13,160 begin can either um Ben or uh Deputy 1098 00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:17,240 Village manager Jones explain what far 1099 00:55:17,240 --> 00:55:20,520 is and what it means to go from one to 1100 00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:24,079 two sure so floor area measure floor 1101 00:55:24,079 --> 00:55:27,039 area ratio is a a measurement of bulk on 1102 00:55:27,039 --> 00:55:31,240 a property so an F of one could be a 1103 00:55:31,240 --> 00:55:33,880 one-story building covering 100% of the 1104 00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:37,079 lot or a two-story building covering 50% 1105 00:55:37,079 --> 00:55:39,680 of the lot or a three-story building 1106 00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:42,880 covering a third of the lot so it's just 1107 00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:44,680 a relation of the total square footage 1108 00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:46,079 of the building to the total square 1109 00:55:46,079 --> 00:55:48,520 footage of the 1110 00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:51,960 property so it can we assume that if 1111 00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:56,559 it's 2.0 it's covering 200% or or total 1112 00:55:56,559 --> 00:56:01,240 of 200 so it could be the full lot size 1113 00:56:01,240 --> 00:56:04,680 two stories or more akin to this 1114 00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:07,119 development about half of the lot and 1115 00:56:07,119 --> 00:56:10,799 about four stories and and for this I 1116 00:56:10,799 --> 00:56:12,760 know that that it'll be the next vote 1117 00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:15,440 but what is the far as 1118 00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:19,359 proposed the F for this project is 1119 00:56:19,359 --> 00:56:22,520 1.99 I think okay it's just under the 1120 00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:29,119 two okay um and I know I know that um 1121 00:56:29,119 --> 00:56:30,599 our code 1122 00:56:30,599 --> 00:56:35,400 said that the far could never exceed one 1123 00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:36,839 um and that wasn't even something like 1124 00:56:36,839 --> 00:56:39,039 we could do a variance on right so the 1125 00:56:39,039 --> 00:56:42,400 what the actual text amendment is is 1126 00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:46,720 allowing an increase in F in the C4 1127 00:56:46,720 --> 00:56:49,280 current for plan developments So 1128 00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:51,799 currently in the code the way the 1129 00:56:51,799 --> 00:56:55,079 ordinance reads that one of the things 1130 00:56:55,079 --> 00:56:56,839 that can be varied through the plan 1131 00:56:56,839 --> 00:56:59,440 development process is adjusting the 1132 00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:02,359 maximum floor area ratio and it 1133 00:57:02,359 --> 00:57:05,160 specifies for different districts to 1134 00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:07,680 what extent the village board can grant 1135 00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:11,400 a floor area ratio adjustment in the C4 1136 00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:13,480 the zoning code limits the board's 1137 00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:15,720 discretion to Grant floor area ratio 1138 00:57:15,720 --> 00:57:17,240 adjustments through the plan development 1139 00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:19,200 process this text Amendment would allow 1140 00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:21,799 the board to Grant a floor area ratio 1141 00:57:21,799 --> 00:57:23,680 adjustment up to 1142 00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:26,760 2.0 okay uh thank you 1143 00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:28,599 um I do have some comments but I'll wait 1144 00:57:28,599 --> 00:57:32,119 till hear from the trustees trust Gil 1145 00:57:32,119 --> 00:57:36,200 thank you Mr President um I I just I can 1146 00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:38,000 I have comments but I'll just break out 1147 00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:39,480 the f one because that's what we're 1148 00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:42,839 talking about now um I mean I it really 1149 00:57:42,839 --> 00:57:45,240 struck me as interesting that this 1150 00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:48,240 particular area has this particular 1151 00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:51,200 restriction that you cannot go above 1152 00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:55,760 1.0 uh in the C4 area and uh I noted 1153 00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:57,559 that because you know it seems 1154 00:57:57,559 --> 00:57:59,160 intentional like you can do it in other 1155 00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:01,680 spots but you can't do it here which 1156 00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:03,799 means to me that when when we thought 1157 00:58:03,799 --> 00:58:06,720 through you know the board not us 1158 00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:08,599 personally but this board thought 1159 00:58:08,599 --> 00:58:10,880 through uh where to put these zoning 1160 00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:12,720 requirements they specifically did not 1161 00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:15,200 want to allow increased dents and bulk 1162 00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:17,880 in that particular area um so that that 1163 00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:19,839 concerns me if if we're going to allow 1164 00:58:19,839 --> 00:58:23,119 it to go from from one to two I get that 1165 00:58:23,119 --> 00:58:24,760 with the text Amendment we're not saying 1166 00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:26,359 this development goes from one to two to 1167 00:58:26,359 --> 00:58:27,760 but I think that there was an 1168 00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:32,280 intentional Choice here to keep this more less bulky in this 1169 00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:35,240 smaller commercial area so I'm not in 1170 00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:37,520 favor of it thank you trusty 1171 00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:40,960 Gil trusty Thompson charity how old is 1172 00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:43,430 that 1173 00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:45,920 code this particular provision I don't 1174 00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:48,280 know if it's in the original 96 version 1175 00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:50,960 of 1996 version of the code or if it was 1176 00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:56,839 amended at some point along the way it hasn't been amended in the time that 1177 00:58:56,839 --> 00:58:59,280 I've worked here 1178 00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:03,520 so so we we agreed to a comprehensive 1179 00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:06,400 plan back in 2005 that allows for that 1180 00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:08,680 suggests and it's also the BNSF quarter 1181 00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:11,240 plan that says in this C4 District we 1182 00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:13,960 will bring in high density housing we 1183 00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:15,720 are in this process of doing a new 1184 00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:17,880 comprehensive plan the regional 1185 00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:19,559 transportation board has come to us and 1186 00:59:19,559 --> 00:59:21,319 asked for us to bring bring in higher 1187 00:59:21,319 --> 00:59:24,799 density housing and we just signed a 1188 00:59:24,799 --> 00:59:26,480 pack to complete was all this 1189 00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:29,000 environmental stuff is the citizen ask 1190 00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:30,440 what are we committing to we're actually 1191 00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:32,319 committing to bring in higher density 1192 00:59:32,319 --> 00:59:34,799 housing to reduce Transportation miles 1193 00:59:34,799 --> 00:59:37,960 reduce energy reduce carbon and if we 1194 00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:39,319 don't make these changes we're never 1195 00:59:39,319 --> 00:59:40,880 going to achieve that because the C4 1196 00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:42,319 business district is the area where you 1197 00:59:42,319 --> 00:59:44,640 need to have high density housing along 1198 00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:46,520 the railroad tracks I don't think in 1199 00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:48,839 1996 the board was ever thinking about 1200 00:59:48,839 --> 00:59:50,559 anything about what was going to come 1201 00:59:50,559 --> 00:59:52,880 but this is the way the BNSF rail 1202 00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:55,760 Corridor is being developed and I know 1203 00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:57,680 of two other developers are looking at 1204 00:59:57,680 --> 00:59:59,599 very similar lots and if this rule isn't 1205 00:59:59,599 --> 01:00:01,400 changed those two developments also will 1206 01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:03,799 go away and we will have no development 1207 01:00:03,799 --> 01:00:06,440 on the west end so if if we as a village 1208 01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:08,680 want to begin to develop the West End 1209 01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:11,400 vacant Lots currently we have to make 1210 01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:12,760 these changes or we're just going to 1211 01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:14,640 have vacant property sitting there 1212 01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:16,760 drawing very little taxes and never have 1213 01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:19,000 any more increased housing and for the 1214 01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:20,640 League of Women Voters never have a 1215 01:00:20,640 -->

01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:02,760 invited to be a part of a 1231 01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:05,280 pre-application meeting with this 1232 01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:07,559 applicant they came in to discuss their 1233 01:01:07,559 --> 01:01:10,440 idea before moving forward in this 1234 01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:12,160 meeting was our community development 1235 01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:15,039 staff Police Chief Fire Chief uh 1236 01:01:15,039 --> 01:01:16,680 chairman of the plan commission 1237 01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:19,400 president kler and possibly a few 1238 01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:21,760 others it's a kick the tires before 1239 01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:24,799 moving forward kind of meeting and the 1240 01:01:24,799 --> 01:01:26,359 applicant came in to find find out if 1241 01:01:26,359 --> 01:01:27,920 their plans were in line with our codes 1242 01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:29,319 and standards and ordinance and that 1243 01:01:29,319 --> 01:01:31,319 kind of 1244 01:01:31,319 --> 01:01:34,559 thing it was it's you know this kind of 1245 01:01:34,559 --> 01:01:37,039 thing it was my first and only so far uh 1246 01:01:37,039 --> 01:01:38,720 that kind of pre-application meeting and 1247 01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:40,640 I think it's a a great thing that we 1248 01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:43,000 offer um certainly can save everyone a 1249 01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:45,200 lot of time and aggravation but in this 1250 01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:46,799 particular preapplication meeting it 1251 01:01:46,799 --> 01:01:48,559 seemed to me that most everything was 1252 01:01:48,559 --> 01:01:50,720 understood and the meeting seemed to go 1253 01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:54,640 well and now tonight I get to vote on it 1254 01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:56,279 for me this is the first planed 1255 01:01:56,279 --> 01:01:58,720 residential development that I have that 1256 01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:01,000 I've come across since I've again as I 1257 01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:03,039 said been here and I've been here for 1258 01:02:03,039 --> 01:02:05,520 just going on five years now here on 1259 01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:09,559 this board um but I have curiously 1260 01:02:09,559 --> 01:02:11,960 followed and watched quite a few 1261 01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:15,039 development projects 1262 01:02:15,039 --> 01:02:17,480 unfold in the process from plan 1263 01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:20,279 commission to village board no single 1264 01:02:20,279 --> 01:02:23,720 development was a slam dunk all had 1265 01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:26,039 strong 1266 01:02:26,039 --> 01:02:28,720 residential push back Andor commissioner 1267 01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:31,440 concerns many had contentious moments 1268 01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:34,160 and some were frankly hard to watch but 1269 01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:38,000 they were full of lessons for future me 1270 01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:41,079 from the beds development to 40 South 1271 01:02:41,079 --> 01:02:44,319 Ashland to Uptown Jackson Square and 1272 01:02:44,319 --> 01:02:46,160 then most recently I think if I have my 1273 01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:47,550 order right Mason 1274 01:02:47,550 --> 01:02:48,960 [Music] 1275 01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:51,200 point there was a great deal of concern 1276 01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:53,079 for all of these developments at the 1277 01:02:53,079 --> 01:02:54,520 time that they were 1278 01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:56,359 discussed res 1279 01:02:56,359 --> 01:02:58,839 residents concerned about the problems 1280 01:02:58,839 --> 01:03:02,150 it could 1281 01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:04,440 create were there and they expressed 1282 01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:05,160 their 1283 01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:07,480 interests in the end all but one were 1284 01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:08,960 eventually 1285 01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:12,000 built and seemed to be serving us fairly 1286 01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:14,319 well the generation before these 1287 01:03:14,319 --> 01:03:15,799 developments that have happened in say 1288 01:03:15,799 --> 01:03:19,119 the last 5 to seven years we're part of 1289 01:03:19,119 --> 01:03:22,359 many of them our our Tiff our tax in 1290 01:03:22,359 --> 01:03:26,039 increment F financing phase uh the 1291 01:03:26,039 --> 01:03:27,920 triangle project that we know of some of 1292 01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:30,039 us remember the the Borders bookstore 1293 01:03:30,039 --> 01:03:32,440 and now it's AT&T but Trader Joe's I 1294 01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:34,880 think Illinois was the or lrange had the 1295 01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:36,760 second Trader Joe's in Illinois right 1296 01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:38,680 there and it's still there and we built 1297 01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:40,760 that tall tall building behind it that 1298 01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:42,799 was a new big development but it wasn't 1299 01:03:42,799 --> 01:03:44,039 around too many residential 1300 01:03:44,039 --> 01:03:45,839 neighborhoods and that probably got some 1301 01:03:45,839 --> 01:03:47,400 decent 1302 01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:51,279 support and then shortly thereafter two 1303 01:03:51,279 --> 01:03:54,039 new large but less less tall 1304 01:03:54,039 --> 01:03:56,319 developments at Kensington right by the 1305 01:03:56,319 --> 01:03:58,400 tracks just just north and just south of 1306 01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:01,079 the tracks are two huge developments in 1307 01:04:01,079 --> 01:04:02,480 L 1308 01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:06,119 range there's a big Condo building on 1309 01:04:06,119 --> 01:04:08,440 Ashland just south of the tracks facing 1310 01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:11,279 the calender lot I think those 1311 01:04:11,279 --> 01:04:13,920 structures are fairly massive in scale 1312 01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:15,880 certainly relative to what we we had 1313 01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:18,680 seen in lrange before some of them right 1314 01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:21,079 alongside homes others replacing old 1315 01:04:21,079 --> 01:04:23,799 retail Parcels one replacing an old car 1316 01:04:23,799 --> 01:04:26,119 dealership 1317 01:04:26,119 --> 01:04:28,799 these developments were no doubt also 1318 01:04:28,799 --> 01:04:29,799 met with 1319 01:04:29,799 --> 01:04:33,240 disapproval from some but all projects 1320 01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:36,200 eventually went through the same process 1321 01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:39,039 for approval that we have today and as 1322 01:04:39,039 --> 01:04:41,720 it turns out they seem to fit in quite 1323 01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:44,880 well so what I see here tonight with 1324 01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:45,920 this new 1325 01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:48,559 project is is is nothing new and and I 1326 01:04:48,559 --> 01:04:51,039 did attend the first of the two plan 1327 01:04:51,039 --> 01:04:52,480 commission meetings because I think this 1328 01:04:52,480 --> 01:04:55,039 is very important the neighbors there 1329 01:04:55,039 --> 01:04:56,920 were very passionate had some very 1330 01:04:56,920 --> 01:04:59,319 legitimate concerns and certainly fears 1331 01:04:59,319 --> 01:05:01,400 that this may disaffect their quality of 1332 01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:03,880 life if it is approved 1333 01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:06,559 tonight only time will tell but this 1334 01:05:06,559 --> 01:05:08,520 town has had a great track record on 1335 01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:10,839 this The Grange has been careful and 1336 01:05:10,839 --> 01:05:12,839 considerate in their review of 1337 01:05:12,839 --> 01:05:15,039 developments they ask for improvements 1338 01:05:15,039 --> 01:05:17,920 in any number of areas and only approve 1339 01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:20,319 the project when they have met those 1340 01:05:20,319 --> 01:05:22,400 standards in my opinion the plan 1341 01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:26,400 commission has been has been in a in in 1342 01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:28,480 no hurry or under no obligation to 1343 01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:30,680 recommend any development but when they 1344 01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:33,200 do those seem to have been very well 1345 01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:34,319 thought 1346 01:05:34,319 --> 01:05:37,799 through as an elect official I see first 1347 01:05:37,799 --> 01:05:39,119 firsthand the importance of Healthy 1348 01:05:39,119 --> 01:05:42,039 Growth and how it adds value to town to 1349 01:05:42,039 --> 01:05:44,880 our town as we grow we are obviously 1350 01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:46,640 landlocked so opportunities are few and 1351 01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:49,119 far between but opportunities are there 1352 01:05:49,119 --> 01:05:51,200 no one out no one out out there seems to 1353 01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:53,839 be screaming for more retail got a good 1354 01:05:53,839 --> 01:05:56,200 deal of that in some vacancies in those 1355 01:05:56,200 --> 01:05:58,440 spaces but homes condos and apartments 1356 01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:01,359 do very well here thanks to you know a 1357 01:06:01,359 --> 01:06:03,480 number of things our our great shops our 1358 01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:05,079 restaurants our reputation for school 1359 01:06:05,079 --> 01:06:07,279 safety and an exceptional sense of 1360 01:06:07,279 --> 01:06:10,119 community so when I saw that the plan 1361 01:06:10,119 --> 01:06:12,079 commission upon further review and 1362 01:06:12,079 --> 01:06:14,559 changes from the applicant voted 1363 01:06:14,559 --> 01:06:17,880 60 to recommend this plan that carried a 1364 01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:22,160 lot of weight for me so I am inclined to 1365 01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:26,119 support uh both both of uh both of the 1366 01:06:26,119 --> 01:06:28,480 items on the agenda tonight for this 1367 01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:31,839 development thank you trusty 1368 01:06:31,839 --> 01:06:34,760 Augustine um trust G thank you Mr 1369 01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:36,400 President I I neglected to say that the 1370 01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:38,160 applicants are here if anybody has any 1371 01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:39,920 questions I forgot to add that I think 1372 01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:42,039 everybody knew that but I just want to 1373 01:06:42,039 --> 01:06:44,119 make sure I pointed that out and and 1374 01:06:44,119 --> 01:06:46,319 that may come up more in the second one 1375 01:06:46,319 --> 01:06:54,960 than than the first is my guess but if the applicant wants to speak now I'm fine with that sure no problem take 1376 01:06:54,960 --> 01:06:58,269 your time 1377 01:06:58,279 --> 01:07:00,160 my name is Tim Foley I'm the attorney 1378 01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:02,319 for the petitioner um I just wanted to 1379 01:07:02,319 --> 01:07:04,920 speak briefly on the issue ofar um we 1380 01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:06,640 talked about the dates of the uh the 1381 01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:08,799 code I think it's important to to point 1382 01:07:08,799 --> 01:07:10,400 out though the comprehensive plan that 1383 01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:14,480 was approved and adopted in 2005 makes 1384 01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:16,920 clear that they wanted that the village 1385 01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:19,559 wanted to develop the West End and I 1386 01:07:19,559 --> 01:07:21,599 just want to read um it's in the various 1387 01:07:21,599 --> 01:07:23,440 agenda that I I filed but I just want to 1388 01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:26,279 read one small portion um this is from 1389 01:07:26,279 --> 01:07:28,319 the comprehensive plan The Village's 1390 01:07:28,319 --> 01:07:30,640 planning process established that the 1391 01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:32,880 West End should reposition itself in the 1392 01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:38,349 market and intensify with new mixed use 1393 01:07:38,359 --> 01:07:40,480 development this would largely consist 1394 01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:42,640 of retail uses on the first floor with 1395 01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:45,720 residential uses above accomp 1396 01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:47,760 accomplishing this objective will 1397 01:07:47,760 --> 01:07:50,559 require relaxing parking requirements in 1398 01:07:50,559 --> 01:07:54,400 the West End Zone I I think implied also 1399 01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:56,680 is the idea what they' have to 1400 01:07:56,680 --> 01:07:58,960 build higher buildings as well to 1401 01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:01,039 accommodate the commercial uses on the 1402 01:08:01,039 --> 01:08:03,240 first floor and residential on the upper 1403 01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:05,520 floors and I think one thing I just want 1404 01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:07,760 to and this can come up later but just 1405 01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:11,119 remind everybody that the the height of 1406 01:08:11,119 --> 01:08:14,279 the building the majority of it is 43 1407 01:08:14,279 --> 01:08:19,199 ft all residents will occupy a space 43 1408 01:08:19,199 --> 01:08:23,080 fet or below so and we can address that 1409 01:08:23,080 --> 01:08:25,960 uh further but I I believe that 1410 01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:27,400 when the village adopted the 1411 01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:29,040 comprehensive plan in 1412 01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:32,679 2005 it envisioned this and I I think 1413 01:08:32,679 --> 01:08:34,839 the fact that they Envision mixc use 1414 01:08:34,839 --> 01:08:36,759 development that's exactly what our 1415 01:08:36,759 --> 01:08:38,400 client brought to the village and I 1416 01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:40,719 think it's consistent with that so I 1417 01:08:40,719 --> 01:08:42,000 that's all I have to say for now but I'm 1418 01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:43,600 glad to answer any questions you may 1419 01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:45,279 have thank thank you attorney Foley we 1420 01:08:45,279 --> 01:08:46,759 appreciate it we appreciate your efforts 1421 01:08:46,759 --> 01:08:49,480 in this regard uh with that any other 1422 01:08:49,480 --> 01:08:53,719 trusty comments uh I'll be very brief 1423 01:08:53,719 --> 01:08:58,239 um I I I have a concern on on the far uh 1424 01:08:58,239 --> 01:09:01,560 going from one to to two um I personally 1425 01:09:01,560 --> 01:09:04,480 can can live with with two I I don't 1426 01:09:04,480 --> 01:09:06,440 vote unless it's a tie anyway but to 1427 01:09:06,440 --> 01:09:09,480 give my opinion I I can live with a two 1428 01:09:09,480 --> 01:09:11,719 um but I don't know that I could live 1429 01:09:11,719 --> 01:09:15,440 with higher than a two and um this is 1430 01:09:15,440 --> 01:09:17,400 really more directed towards the plan 1431 01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:21,000 commission or future developers that say 1432 01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,080 boy they seem pretty quick to switch 1433 01:09:23,080 --> 01:09:24,960 from one to two we probably can get them 1434 01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:30,239 go from two to four and that to me is uh 1435 01:09:30,239 --> 01:09:33,799 a step too far um I'd really like to see 1436 01:09:33,799 --> 01:09:38,480 how we do at two uh and and see how it's 1437 01:09:38,480 --> 01:09:41,359 um Incorporated within the village and 1438 01:09:41,359 --> 01:09:45,600 what problems if any develop uh so um 1439 01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:48,400 and and the way I'm able to get from one 1440 01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:52,319 to two uh has what trusty Thompson 1441 01:09:52,319 --> 01:09:55,520 alluded to or stated uh we do have sever 1442 01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:57,560 members of League of Women Voters here 1443 01:09:57,560 --> 01:10:01,280 who uh Advocate uh for affordable 1444 01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:03,000 housing and affordable housing has 1445 01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:05,320 different definitions uh but one of the 1446 01:10:05,320 --> 01:10:07,920 definitions clearly is a mix of housing 1447 01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:12,040 units uh this project uh and and part of 1448 01:10:12,040 --> 01:10:15,400 the reason the to of going from a far of 1449 01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:18,159 one to a far of two is because there's 1450 01:10:18,159 --> 01:10:21,640 going to be smaller units um than 1451 01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:24,480 traditionally are in lrange um that is 1452 01:10:24,480 --> 01:10:28,719 giving uh renters another option uh that 1453 01:10:28,719 --> 01:10:32,120 they don't have today and that is one of 1454 01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:34,520 the things that we have residents 1455 01:10:34,520 --> 01:10:39,239 advocating for um and so that's where I 1456 01:10:39,239 --> 01:10:42,400 personally uh uh line up on it and with 1457 01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:45,120 that I would ask uh clerk cadino for a 1458 01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:49,110 roll call 1459 01:10:49,120 --> 01:10:55,990 vote trusty Augustine 1460 01:10:56,000 -->

1469 01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:27,920 this is an ordinance approving uh 1470 01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:31,040 special use for a plan development site 1471 01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:35,000 plan and design review permit for 811 to 1472 01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:38,000 901 West Hillgrove 1473 01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:42,840 Avenue so move second thank you trusty 1474 01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:45,600 Gil and truste O'Brien 1475 01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:49,199 um before I open it up to the trustees I 1476 01:11:49,199 --> 01:11:51,080 do want to because we had a person 1477 01:11:51,080 --> 01:11:54,040 indicate that there's 31 units with with 1478 01:11:54,040 --> 01:11:56,760 only 30 parking spots that did not 1479 01:11:56,760 --> 01:12:00,159 include the six indoor spots so there's 1480 01:12:00,159 --> 01:12:02,480 31 residential units plus the commercial 1481 01:12:02,480 --> 01:12:06,360 units but 36 I believe is the number of 1482 01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:10,840 parking spots um and I will be asking 1483 01:12:10,840 --> 01:12:13,960 some questions about the Commonwealth 1484 01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:18,320 Edison uh uh current um Transformer 1485 01:12:18,320 --> 01:12:20,199 station and what the developer if 1486 01:12:20,199 --> 01:12:21,760 anything is willing to do if that 1487 01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:24,239 becomes available for sale but I'll 1488 01:12:24,239 --> 01:12:27,239 first open it up to trustee comments 1489 01:12:27,239 --> 01:12:32,800 trusty G thank you Mr President I'll say my piece and then be done um so 1490 01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:33,960 I want to first I want to thank the 1491 01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:35,800 applicant for um for the time effort and 1492 01:12:35,800 --> 01:12:37,400 energy you know I work in the 1493 01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:39,199 development area as well and I know it's 1494 01:12:39,199 --> 01:12:41,600 a lot of time money and energy to go 1495 01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:43,880 through these various processes before 1496 01:12:43,880 --> 01:12:45,600 you've even turned a turned a shovel in 1497 01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:47,440 the ground um I also want to thank the 1498 01:12:47,440 --> 01:12:48,719 residents that that came out at 1499 01:12:48,719 --> 01:12:50,560 different you know different meetings to 1500 01:12:50,560 --> 01:12:53,320 express their views um uh you know 1501 01:12:53,320 --> 01:12:55,199 democracy is in a lot of ways a 1502 01:12:55,199 --> 01:12:56,760 conversation and the way we resolve 1503 01:12:56,760 --> 01:12:58,440 issues is we have discussions and 1504 01:12:58,440 --> 01:13:00,440 meetings and take votes and then we move 1505 01:13:00,440 --> 01:13:03,600 forward um so I think this this plan 1506 01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:04,880 development is certainly a vision of 1507 01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:06,760 things to come you know we we as trusty 1508 01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:09,120 Augustine even said we we have approved 1509 01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:11,800 density we need density it's it's going 1510 01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:13,960 to uh it's going to be something we have 1511 01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:16,480 to do uh but I also don't think these 1512 01:13:16,480 --> 01:13:17,960 developments Are All or Nothing 1513 01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:20,040 propositions um you know a development 1514 01:13:20,040 --> 01:13:21,960 needs to fit our standards it needs to 1515 01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:23,679 fit um you know it needs to fit the 1516 01:13:23,679 --> 01:13:26,080 location and so when I think about these 1517 01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:28,040 kind of projects I go I go right into 1518 01:13:28,040 --> 01:13:30,239 the numbers it tends to be how I 1519 01:13:30,239 --> 01:13:32,760 consider them um you know and so we've 1520 01:13:32,760 --> 01:13:35,120 already talked about the f um but 1521 01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:36,800 another concern I have with you know 1522 01:13:36,800 --> 01:13:39,719 with this particular proposal is there's 1523 01:13:39,719 --> 01:13:41,880 this is broadly speaking but I don't see 1524 01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:43,920 setbacks here for this building you know 1525 01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:46,040 it's right up to the sidewalk light lot 1526 01:13:46,040 --> 01:13:48,920 line to lot line on the sides um I think 1527 01:13:48,920 --> 01:13:50,520 with the four-story height it's going to 1528 01:13:50,520 --> 01:13:52,840 be quite an imposing structure uh for 1529 01:13:52,840 --> 01:13:56,120 the area um also you know it never get 1530 01:13:56,120 --> 01:14:00,440 seems to get a lot of coverage but the lot area per dwelling um this is uh 1531 01:14:00,440 --> 01:14:01,840 it's going to be about 1532 01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:04,800 660 um which is I think about as dense 1533 01:14:04,800 --> 01:14:07,000 as we've ever approved um which is you 1534 01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:08,920 know a measure of of how many how many 1535 01:14:08,920 --> 01:14:11,080 people are going to be in that space and 1536 01:14:11,080 --> 01:14:13,159 then we talked about the F and and look 1537 01:14:13,159 --> 01:14:16,280 I'm I'm okay with softening the F again 1538 01:14:16,280 --> 01:14:17,840 I think this is a vision of things to 1539 01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:20,239 come I just do think that it's quite 1540 01:14:20,239 --> 01:14:24,080 telling that in this area this was 1541 01:14:24,080 --> 01:14:26,600 prohibited from going Beyond 1.0 and 1542 01:14:26,600 --> 01:14:31,440 while I appreciate comprehensive plan is more of a goal 1543 01:14:31,440 --> 01:14:33,199 right the code is when we actually 1544 01:14:33,199 --> 01:14:34,880 approve what it's going to be in what 1545 01:14:34,880 --> 01:14:37,840 place um and I think that's that's 1546 01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:40,520 influential for me so uh and finally you 1547 01:14:40,520 --> 01:14:42,320 know I'll turn to you know I sat through 1548 01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:43,920 the plan commission hearings I saw all 1549 01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:45,639 the residents come and talk and when 1550 01:14:45,639 --> 01:14:48,080 people come and they express their views 1551 01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:51,120 and they are uh strongly you know in 1552 01:14:51,120 --> 01:14:53,600 opposition to something that's the 1553 01:14:53,600 --> 01:14:55,880 in-person representation of of these of 1554 01:14:55,880 --> 01:14:59,480 these numbers if this had setbacks if 1555 01:14:59,480 --> 01:15:02,679 this were shorter If This Were squeezed 1556 01:15:02,679 --> 01:15:04,760 in on the side I wouldn't have any issue 1557 01:15:04,760 --> 01:15:06,199 with this but I think it just goes a 1558 01:15:06,199 --> 01:15:07,840 little too far I think it's going to 1559 01:15:07,840 --> 01:15:11,400 have a an impact on the uh on the um 1560 01:15:11,400 --> 01:15:12,840 adjacent properties and the character of 1561 01:15:12,840 --> 01:15:14,679 the area and so um I just I can't 1562 01:15:14,679 --> 01:15:17,400 support it as it's presented thank you 1563 01:15:17,400 --> 01:15:22,040 trusty Gale Tristy Peterson uh I do also 1564 01:15:22,040 --> 01:15:25,040 want to thank uh the plan commission and 1565 01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:27,120 I want to thank the staff and I also 1566 01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:28,719 attended the meeting the plan Commission 1567 01:15:28,719 --> 01:15:30,880 meeting and listened to the residents 1568 01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:34,080 come on out and I uh was very respectful 1569 01:15:34,080 --> 01:15:39,639 of their opinions uh but uh I also 1570 01:15:39,639 --> 01:15:42,520 looked into the existing comprehensive 1571 01:15:42,520 --> 01:15:45,920 plan and uh the the draft of the new 1572 01:15:45,920 --> 01:15:48,080 comprehensive plan that has will range 1573 01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:49,480 forward that's going to be coming out 1574 01:15:49,480 --> 01:15:51,880 and I have to say that I do think that 1575 01:15:51,880 --> 01:15:53,920 the Bland commission and staff work to 1576 01:15:53,920 --> 01:15:57,159 address most of their uh the issues that 1577 01:15:57,159 --> 01:15:59,560 were brought up and I also think that 1578 01:15:59,560 --> 01:16:01,880 the current this development is in 1579 01:16:01,880 --> 01:16:04,080 alignment with the existing 1580 01:16:04,080 --> 01:16:06,679 comprehensive plan and the new draft 1581 01:16:06,679 --> 01:16:09,600 that's coming up so I will be voting to 1582 01:16:09,600 --> 01:16:11,239 support the 1583 01:16:11,239 --> 01:16:15,870 development thank you trusty 1584 01:16:15,880 --> 01:16:18,000 Peterson trusty 1585 01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:20,719 Thompson and I appreciate the developer 1586 01:16:20,719 --> 01:16:22,199 coming out working on this I appreciate 1587 01:16:22,199 --> 01:16:24,120 the village staff Planning Commission 1588 01:16:24,120 --> 01:16:25,560 and the developer all working together 1589 01:16:25,560 --> 01:16:28,080 to make changes we built this complex 1590 01:16:28,080 --> 01:16:29,719 and there's been a lot of debate between 1591 01:16:29,719 --> 01:16:32,040 the the trustees on this issue and I was 1592 01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:34,199 reminded as I was talking to trustee 1593 01:16:34,199 --> 01:16:36,920 McGee this afternoon a couple months ago 1594 01:16:36,920 --> 01:16:39,159 I caught an Uber in Dallas Texas up to 1595 01:16:39,159 --> 01:16:40,760 Frisco Texas and the Uber driver just 1596 01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:42,080 had him say where you coming from I said 1597 01:16:42,080 --> 01:16:43,520 I'm coming from Chicago he said 1598 01:16:43,520 --> 01:16:45,480 specifically he said where I said I'm 1599 01:16:45,480 --> 01:16:47,679 coming from lra he goes I grew up in lra 1600 01:16:47,679 --> 01:16:50,480 he said I'm a Far East Side guy I said 1601 01:16:50,480 -->

four 1604 01:16:57,400 --> 01:17:00,000 generation people he said I got to move 1605 01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:02,280 back to lrange when they built Uptown 1606 01:17:02,280 --> 01:17:04,360 lrange having those apartments there 1607 01:17:04,360 --> 01:17:06,239 gave me a chance to be able to afford to 1608 01:17:06,239 --> 01:17:08,360 live on the grain now unfortunately 1609 01:17:08,360 --> 01:17:10,639 except for his parents the rest of the 1610 01:17:10,639 --> 01:17:12,360 families moved to Texas to avoid 1611 01:17:12,360 --> 01:17:14,560 Illinois taxes but he said he really 1612 01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:16,239 enjoyed having those apartments 1613 01:17:16,239 --> 01:17:17,800 available he said that was the one thing 1614 01:17:17,800 --> 01:17:20,400 if there was more here more children 1615 01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:21,880 like him would move into town because 1616 01:17:21,880 --> 01:17:23,360 they can't afford to buy a home but it 1617 01:17:23,360 --> 01:17:24,960 gives them a chance to live in an area 1618 01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:27,360 like lrange and enjoy the downtown that 1619 01:17:27,360 --> 01:17:29,040 area and it always stuck out with me you 1620 01:17:29,040 --> 01:17:31,639 know just a CH chance Uber ride with a 1621 01:17:31,639 --> 01:17:33,320 kid who actually moved here because he 1622 01:17:33,320 --> 01:17:35,400 could finally afford to live here so 1623 01:17:35,400 --> 01:17:37,360 this is giving affordable options to 1624 01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:39,600 people to live here it is the planned 1625 01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:41,480 area as far as the setbacks go there are 1626 01:17:41,480 --> 01:17:44,080 no setbacks on the current property the 1627 01:17:44,080 --> 01:17:45,880 thing I like about this and the the 1628 01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:47,960 developer they put in flood control 1629 01:17:47,960 --> 01:17:50,440 bigger flood control than is needed for 1630 01:17:50,440 --> 01:17:53,040 the property and for an area that has no 1631 01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:55,159 flood control that suffers a great from 1632 01:17:55,159 --> 01:17:57,600 flooding so I'm actually happy to see 1633 01:17:57,600 --> 01:17:58,760 this come in because it's probably going 1634 01:17:58,760 --> 01:18:00,159 to help the flooding in the area for all 1635 01:18:00,159 --> 01:18:01,719 those homeowners in are around it where 1636 01:18:01,719 --> 01:18:03,520 that water's just not going to head to 1637 01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:04,960 the backs and head out to the tracks and 1638 01:18:04,960 --> 01:18:07,120 flood that area out I remember R Newman 1639 01:18:07,120 --> 01:18:08,560 when she was a congressman saying how 1640 01:18:08,560 --> 01:18:10,080 the railroad track at that area was 1641 01:18:10,080 --> 01:18:12,239 completely underwater and unpassable and 1642 01:18:12,239 --> 01:18:13,560 that's exactly where she was talking 1643 01:18:13,560 --> 01:18:15,159 about so you imagine how deep that was 1644 01:18:15,159 --> 01:18:17,719 in June of 2021 to be over the railroad 1645 01:18:17,719 --> 01:18:20,520 tracks at brainer so anything to pull 1646 01:18:20,520 --> 01:18:22,080 water in and do that so this site 1647 01:18:22,080 --> 01:18:23,600 development has really had a lot of 1648 01:18:23,600 --> 01:18:25,679 thought going to it change the look of 1649 01:18:25,679 --> 01:18:27,080 it to make it match the neighborhood 1650 01:18:27,080 --> 01:18:29,800 more so again I appreciate Village staff 1651 01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:31,000 the Planning Commission and the 1652 01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:32,760 developer working with us so I fully 1653 01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:35,120 support this development hope it moves 1654 01:18:35,120 --> 01:18:38,960 forward thank you Tristy Thompson Tristy 1655 01:18:38,960 --> 01:18:49,550 McGee 1656 01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:54,120 I um I have to say that um I also have 1657 01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:58,239 spent a lot of time um going over this 1658 01:18:58,239 --> 01:19:02,159 proposal um I have lived in lrange my 1659 01:19:02,159 --> 01:19:06,880 entire life and I was initially against 1660 01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:08,800 putting up a four-story 1661 01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:13,080 building um it's sad that I have to say 1662 01:19:13,080 --> 01:19:19,239 I uh have not been on the west end 1663 01:19:19,239 --> 01:19:21,639 in maybe 40 1664 01:19:21,639 --> 01:19:25,120 years I have no I've always always love 1665 01:19:25,120 --> 01:19:27,880 lrange and I've had no reason to 1666 01:19:27,880 --> 01:19:31,239 actually go down that far and I would 1667 01:19:31,239 --> 01:19:34,280 always cross brainer and make a right 1668 01:19:34,280 --> 01:19:36,440 and never went back that way and so when 1669 01:19:36,440 --> 01:19:38,840 I first started reading the proposal I 1670 01:19:38,840 --> 01:19:43,560 was very confused as to exactly where um 1671 01:19:43,560 --> 01:19:47,360 the you know design where what space 1672 01:19:47,360 --> 01:19:50,000 they were talking about and so I decided 1673 01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:52,400 to just take a journey over there just 1674 01:19:52,400 --> 01:19:56,000 to look at it and um I'm happy to say 1675 01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:59,000 that once I got there and saw exactly 1676 01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:01,840 where it was going to be I thought it 1677 01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:05,920 would be an asset to the community um 1678 01:20:05,920 --> 01:20:08,040 but the thing that concerns me is the 1679 01:20:08,040 --> 01:20:12,040 fact that I saw um the 30 parking spaces 1680 01:20:12,040 --> 01:20:14,639 and I remember several months ago a 1681 01:20:14,639 --> 01:20:17,199 gentleman came um to one of our meetings 1682 01:20:17,199 --> 01:20:21,600 and he had just uh Ren uh rented an 1683 01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:24,800 apartment on Bluff and he said he only 1684 01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:28,000 had one parking space but he needed two 1685 01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:30,960 and I also live next to a small 1686 01:20:30,960 --> 01:20:33,560 apartment building and the tenants often 1687 01:20:33,560 --> 01:20:37,040 have that problem parking and lrange has 1688 01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:41,400 a huge parking um problem here and so my 1689 01:20:41,400 --> 01:20:43,159 concern is that what are you going to do 1690 01:20:43,159 --> 01:20:47,199 for those um tenants that actually need 1691 01:20:47,199 --> 01:20:49,400 two parking 1692 01:20:49,400 --> 01:20:52,320 spaces and so that's a question I I 1693 01:20:52,320 --> 01:20:57,189 think thank you 1694 01:20:57,199 --> 01:20:59,960 and just if you could introduce yourself 1695 01:20:59,960 --> 01:21:03,440 too hi I'm Adam cadil I'm the applicant 1696 01:21:03,440 --> 01:21:07,800 and uh so it it will be um 36 parking 1697 01:21:07,800 --> 01:21:11,560 spots so uh and 31 units so it will at 1698 01:21:11,560 --> 01:21:14,360 least be one parking spot per unit our 1699 01:21:14,360 --> 01:21:17,239 thought is that it's right off the the 1700 01:21:17,239 --> 01:21:20,159 train line there and um some people 1701 01:21:20,159 --> 01:21:22,120 might need no parking spots you know 1702 01:21:22,120 --> 01:21:23,960 possibly one and there will be extra 1703 01:21:23,960 --> 01:21:26,639 parking spots as well um I know lrange 1704 01:21:26,639 --> 01:21:28,600 is looking into doing you know something 1705 01:21:28,600 --> 01:21:30,600 for parking in the overall area you know 1706 01:21:30,600 --> 01:21:33,280 for different business owners and unit 1707 01:21:33,280 --> 01:21:36,880 owners um you know this is just uh what 1708 01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:38,280 the project is I actually lived at 1709 01:21:38,280 --> 01:21:40,159 Uptown Apartments for a couple years and 1710 01:21:40,159 --> 01:21:42,120 there was people there that that had no 1711 01:21:42,120 --> 01:21:43,719 parking spots that used a train every 1712 01:21:43,719 --> 01:21:47,000 day uh some that had one you know um I 1713 01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:48,920 don't know the percentage I I could I 1714 01:21:48,920 --> 01:21:50,719 could probably try to inquire cuz I did 1715 01:21:50,719 --> 01:21:52,199 live there but of people that actually 1716 01:21:52,199 --> 01:21:54,760 needed two I I think it was majority of 1717 01:21:54,760 --> 01:21:56,960 residents um that were living there you 1718 01:21:56,960 --> 01:21:59,880 know needed one so uh I think parking 1719 01:21:59,880 --> 01:22:03,199 across the grain is is an issue and um 1720 01:22:03,199 --> 01:22:05,040 you know we worked different sizes of 1721 01:22:05,040 --> 01:22:07,600 this building you know over time at one 1722 01:22:07,600 --> 01:22:10,199 point it was five stories and in 42 1723 01:22:10,199 --> 01:22:11,880 parking spots and it went down to four 1724 01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:14,800 stories and and uh you know 36 parking 1725 01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:17,960 spots and and really uh it's not a big 1726 01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:20,199 development overall so the economics 1727 01:22:20,199 --> 01:22:22,440 just really don't work if it's if it's 1728 01:22:22,440 --> 01:22:25,560 much smaller um so we believe that there 1729 01:22:25,560 --> 01:22:27,320 will be sufficient parking for for the 1730 01:22:27,320 --> 01:22:31,719 building so okay thank you let me before 1731 01:22:31,719 --> 01:22:33,840 you I'm not going to let you sit down 1732 01:22:33,840 --> 01:22:37,480 with with you uh suggesting that lrange 1733 01:22:37,480 --> 01:22:40,320 is going to do something for the parking 1734 01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:42,440 that that don't what I don't want to 1735 01:22:42,440 --> 01:22:45,960 have happen is in a couple of years you 1736 01:22:45,960 --> 01:22:48,920 come because we've we we've had people 1737 01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:51,159 that uh we've told them you're not 1738 01:22:51,159 --> 01:22:53,040 addressing parking when you build this 1739 01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:55,199 building and then they come and say what 1740 01:22:55,199 --> 01:22:57,040 have you done for me to solve my parking 1741 01:22:57,040 --> 01:23:00,920 problem so we're not planning to build a 1742 01:23:00,920 --> 01:23:04,040 parking deck or anything up that way and 1743 01:23:04,040 --> 01:23:08,360 so uh you know this is this needs to be 1744 01:23:08,360 --> 01:23:14,400 understood you're building this your commercial uh business will have no 1745 01:23:14,400 --> 01:23:17,520 dedicated parking for an employee or for 1746 01:23:17,520 --> 01:23:21,400 a customer and your units as it is now 1747 01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:23,760 are 36 I'd like maybe we can address the 1748 01:23:23,760 --> 01:23:26,440 Commonwealth Ed that may bring in nine 1749 01:23:26,440 --> 01:23:28,880 more spots but that's what we're dealing 1750 01:23:28,880 --> 01:23:31,560 with today yes sir and I'm sorry I 1751 01:23:31,560 --> 01:23:35,000 didn't if I misspoke um I was speaking 1752 01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:37,639 to to the area in general just uh as to 1753 01:23:37,639 --> 01:23:40,040 the commercial you know concerns over 1754 01:23:40,040 --> 01:23:42,560 there from other business owners about 1755 01:23:42,560 --> 01:23:44,719 the parking um not not to the 1756 01:23:44,719 --> 01:23:47,239 residential we believe that our 36 spots 1757 01:23:47,239 --> 01:23:49,800 for 31 units is sufficient and we had a 1758 01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:52,560 parking study that that noted that as 1759 01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:56,159 well um and and and that do you have 1760 01:23:56,159 --> 01:23:59,840 anything else you want to add 1761 01:23:59,840 --> 01:24:02,960 yeah I think that it covers it well um 1762 01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:05,440 the parking study indicated a 1:1 ratio 1763 01:24:05,440 --> 01:24:08,120 for residential um and then you also 1764 01:24:08,120 --> 01:24:09,880 have the 1765 01:24:09,880 --> 01:24:17,000 um uh group of uh I can't think of the 1766 01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:20,239 um Traffic Engineers um they had I think 1767 01:24:20,239 --> 01:24:24,840 there K came out well KOA um it did a 1768 01:24:24,840 --> 01:24:27,120 study they they indicated one to one but 1769 01:24:27,120 --> 01:24:28,960 there's also a national group that 1770 01:24:28,960 --> 01:24:32,360 indicated when a residential unit is in 1771 01:24:32,360 --> 01:24:35,080 close proximity to um public 1772 01:24:35,080 --> 01:24:37,920 transportation that the rate would be 1773 01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:41,639 1.14 and uh our client is providing 1.16 1774 01:24:41,639 --> 01:24:45,199 so he exceeds that um can you address 1775 01:24:45,199 --> 01:24:46,520 the cameth 1776 01:24:46,520 --> 01:24:49,360 Edison property I can you know we're 1777 01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:51,600 working hard on that and I appreciate uh 1778 01:24:51,600 --> 01:24:54,960 charity Jones her input as well I I 1779 01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:57,480 think we will get there um my 1780 01:24:57,480 --> 01:24:59,480 understanding is they are going to 1781 01:24:59,480 --> 01:25:02,760 retire that substation um I was able to 1782 01:25:02,760 --> 01:25:09,360 locate some old leases so comad many years ago leased that area for 1783 01:25:09,360 --> 01:25:12,639 parking so there is uh uh you know a 1784 01:25:12,639 --> 01:25:14,920 precedent for it I think the issue is 1785 01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:16,880 when are they going to remove the 1786 01:25:16,880 --> 01:25:20,840 equipment and uh um but we definitely 1787 01:25:20,840 --> 01:25:23,880 want to be on top of that right I mean 1788 01:25:23,880 --> 01:25:26,560 to to me it it seems that when you look 1789 01:25:26,560 --> 01:25:28,560 at that property and and it's on my 1790 01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:29,199 understanding it's going to be 1791 01:25:29,199 --> 01:25:32,880 decommissioned within a year um the the 1792 01:25:32,880 --> 01:25:34,840 highest and best use would be parking 1793 01:25:34,840 --> 01:25:38,080 for this development and we're we're at 1794 01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:42,080 least I'm kind of taking you on faith 1795 01:25:42,080 --> 01:25:44,520 that when that becomes available you'll 1796 01:25:44,520 --> 01:25:46,679 use you know reasonable judgment but 1797 01:25:46,679 --> 01:25:49,080 best efforts to obtain it because if it 1798 01:25:49,080 --> 01:25:50,600 becomes undeveloped if you guys don't 1799 01:25:50,600 --> 01:25:53,679 purchase it or lease it then nobody will 1800 01:25:53,679 --> 01:25:56,119 and and you know then we're in a real 1801 01:25:56,119 --> 01:25:59,920 problem that's right yeah we if it 1802 01:25:59,920 --> 01:26:02,320 becomes available we plan to lease it it 1803 01:26:02,320 --> 01:26:05,360 would improve uh you know it would just 1804 01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:07,360 make the situation better improve the 1805 01:26:07,360 --> 01:26:08,760 value of the building and be able to 1806 01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:12,000 offer even additional parking um so we 1807 01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:14,400 do plan to move forward if that becomes 1808 01:26:14,400 --> 01:26:26,830 available thank you Tristy McGee 1809 01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:55,590 it's 1810 01:26:55,600 --> 01:26:58,119 yeah and and you know I think given the 1811 01:26:58,119 --> 01:27:01,040 unit sizes and and everything you know 1812 01:27:01,040 --> 01:27:02,560 we we don't believe that it will be a 1813 01:27:02,560 --> 01:27:05,000 problem uh you know I live in lrange I 1814 01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:08,000 live a few blocks from there um you know 1815 01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:09,880 I I lived in uptown lrange for a number 1816 01:27:09,880 --> 01:27:12,920 of years as well um I I put a lot of 1817 01:27:12,920 --> 01:27:14,360 thought and effort into this and I 1818 01:27:14,360 --> 01:27:15,639 wouldn't want to put something up in 1819 01:27:15,639 --> 01:27:18,719 lrange that wasn't sufficiently parked 1820 01:27:18,719 --> 01:27:20,159 or something that was going to cause 1821 01:27:20,159 --> 01:27:21,679 future problems or something I wasn't 1822 01:27:21,679 --> 01:27:26,360 proud of um so I believe that it'll be 1823 01:27:26,360 --> 01:27:28,520 sufficient if I could if I could just 1824 01:27:28,520 --> 01:27:31,000 add uh one of the conditions of approval 1825 01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:33,719 um is that the parking spaces will be 1826 01:27:33,719 --> 01:27:35,719 assigned to the residents and I think 1827 01:27:35,719 --> 01:27:37,480 that's important because you won't have 1828 01:27:37,480 --> 01:27:39,760 a case where everybody's you know trying 1829 01:27:39,760 --> 01:27:41,679 to race to get a parking space if you 1830 01:27:41,679 --> 01:27:43,040 have a second car and you don't have an 1831 01:27:43,040 --> 01:27:44,840 assigned space you're going to have to 1832 01:27:44,840 --> 01:27:47,639 find a a place to park the vehicle and 1833 01:27:47,639 --> 01:27:50,760 uh our client uh you know accepted that 1834 01:27:50,760 --> 01:27:52,920 condition is certainly 1835 01:27:52,920 --> 01:27:55,360 reasonable all thank 1836 01:27:55,360 --> 01:27:58,280 you uh 1837 01:27:58,280 --> 01:28:01,639 justy thank you president kler um yeah a 1838 01:28:01,639 --> 01:28:05,040 couple things parking is a huge issue in 1839 01:28:05,040 --> 01:28:07,520 the village we're always addressing 1840 01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:09,320 it 1841 01:28:09,320 --> 01:28:12,600 um Central business district West End 1842 01:28:12,600 --> 01:28:14,600 everywhere uh we could use more but we 1843 01:28:14,600 --> 01:28:19,280 certainly don't want to be the town just builds parking garages uh every 1844 01:28:19,280 --> 01:28:20,840 couple of years so we're we're trying to 1845 01:28:20,840 --> 01:28:22,159 be creative in that and but that's 1846 01:28:22,159 --> 01:28:24,239 certainly right behind infrastructure 1847 01:28:24,239 --> 01:28:25,960 and flooding is is certainly one of the 1848 01:28:25,960 --> 01:28:27,280 most important issues because if we're 1849 01:28:27,280 --> 01:28:28,520 going to grow and we're going to do 1850 01:28:28,520 --> 01:28:31,600 these things uh with developments then 1851 01:28:31,600 --> 01:28:33,840 we we will need some more space so I I 1852 01:28:33,840 --> 01:28:35,679 hope that between the comprehensive plan 1853 01:28:35,679 --> 01:28:38,080 and future meetings and conversations 1854 01:28:38,080 --> 01:28:40,080 amongst the commissions we start talking 1855 01:28:40,080 --> 01:28:42,280 about uh unique ways to solve the 1856 01:28:42,280 --> 01:28:43,920 problem because we can't grow I think 1857 01:28:43,920 --> 01:28:46,320 without solving that problem a bit and 1858 01:28:46,320 --> 01:28:48,119 then shaana talked on touched on 1859 01:28:48,119 --> 01:28:49,679 something else I wanted to mention which 1860 01:28:49,679 --> 01:28:51,800 is proximity I think probably a big 1861 01:28:51,800 --> 01:28:53,159 reason you're developing where you're 1862 01:28:53,159 --> 01:28:54,639 developing is 1863 01:28:54,639 --> 01:28:57,080 because it's not just close to the train 1864 01:28:57,080 --> 01:28:59,960 station uh can imagine people living 1865 01:28:59,960 --> 01:29:01,760 there like the people in uptown need to 1866 01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:03,320 take the train so they're probably not 1867 01:29:03,320 --> 01:29:05,159 going to contribute to traffic 1868 01:29:05,159 --> 01:29:06,800 congestion in the morning when the 1869 01:29:06,800 --> 01:29:07,920 schools are coming through and in the 1870 01:29:07,920 --> 01:29:09,320 evening people are coming home that's 1871 01:29:09,320 --> 01:29:10,960 just an assumption I'm making but it 1872 01:29:10,960 --> 01:29:14,000 helped me uh you know it helps me to 1873 01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:16,840 know that that's probably the case um 1874 01:29:16,840 --> 01:29:20,080 but they're close to shopping really 1875 01:29:20,080 --> 01:29:22,280 great shopping and restaurants they can 1876 01:29:22,280 --> 01:29:24,320 walk everywhere and it's a wonderful 1877 01:29:24,320 --> 01:29:26,239 community so that is why they're living 1878 01:29:26,239 --> 01:29:27,840 across the train you know I mean it'll 1879 01:29:27,840 --> 01:29:29,239 be a little bit loud I grew up a couple 1880 01:29:29,239 --> 01:29:30,920 blocks from the train I you get used to 1881 01:29:30,920 --> 01:29:33,480 it but it's people who are going to rent 1882 01:29:33,480 --> 01:29:35,520 here and the people who buy on the 1883 01:29:35,520 --> 01:29:37,440 tracks sure they want to just live in 1884 01:29:37,440 --> 01:29:38,800 the Grange and maybe that's one of the 1885 01:29:38,800 --> 01:29:40,480 reasons but I think it is because they 1886 01:29:40,480 --> 01:29:43,480 want to walk around they want the ease 1887 01:29:43,480 --> 01:29:45,480 of leaving their car or not having a car 1888 01:29:45,480 --> 01:29:46,679 and being able to get around and with 1889 01:29:46,679 --> 01:29:48,719 Ubers you know there's not as much need 1890 01:29:48,719 --> 01:29:51,199 for a car so that certainly helped me 1891 01:29:51,199 --> 01:29:52,800 and what I did want to mention is just 1892 01:29:52,800 --> 01:29:55,760 kind of on a larger scale that what this 1893 01:29:55,760 --> 01:29:57,360 project has succeeded in doing if 1894 01:29:57,360 --> 01:29:59,280 nothing else is putting land use 1895 01:29:59,280 --> 01:30:00,920 development as it relates to the vision 1896 01:30:00,920 --> 01:30:04,400 for lrange uh front and center how we 1897 01:30:04,400 --> 01:30:05,719 should approach it in our new 1898 01:30:05,719 --> 01:30:08,119 comprehensive plan will be important and 1899 01:30:08,119 --> 01:30:09,520 so this development I think couldn't 1900 01:30:09,520 --> 01:30:10,800 have come at a better time because it's 1901 01:30:10,800 --> 01:30:12,440 created a lot of real life conversation 1902 01:30:12,440 --> 01:30:14,080 for us as we go forward and lock some of 1903 01:30:14,080 --> 01:30:17,080 these things up but we we do need to uh 1904 01:30:17,080 --> 01:30:19,400 discuss in in future developments how we 1905 01:30:19,400 --> 01:30:21,480 incorporate in affordable housing and I 1906 01:30:21,480 --> 01:30:23,159 hope that that as it continues to come 1907 01:30:23,159 --> 01:30:24,920 up tonight will to come up in the days 1908 01:30:24,920 --> 01:30:26,600 to come and we really do something about 1909 01:30:26,600 --> 01:30:29,320 it uh but thanks again for bringing this 1910 01:30:29,320 --> 01:30:31,440 development to our attention 1911 01:30:31,440 --> 01:30:34,040 and thank you trusty 1912 01:30:34,040 --> 01:30:37,040 Augustine trusty Gil thanks I just had a 1913 01:30:37,040 --> 01:30:41,400 quick question for charity um uh C4 is 1914 01:30:41,400 --> 01:30:43,400 this I seem to recall in the packet is 1915 01:30:43,400 --> 01:30:45,520 this the only area that has C4 or is 1916 01:30:45,520 --> 01:30:47,679 that sprinkled throughout the village no 1917 01:30:47,679 --> 01:30:50,280 C4 is really isolated just in this small 1918 01:30:50,280 --> 01:30:52,840 portion of the Far West End okay it's 1919 01:30:52,840 --> 01:30:55,400 just here okay thanks 1920 01:30:55,400 --> 01:30:58,119 thank you trusty Gail um one of the 1921 01:30:58,119 --> 01:31:03,639 questions that that I had um is is uh 1922 01:31:03,639 --> 01:31:06,239 maybe for our legal counsel or for 1923 01:31:06,239 --> 01:31:08,280 attorney Foley and that's this 1924 01:31:08,280 --> 01:31:10,159 development with the balconies that hang 1925 01:31:10,159 --> 01:31:14,400 over our sidewalk um do we have any 1926 01:31:14,400 --> 01:31:16,600 liability if somebody's walking and 1927 01:31:16,600 --> 01:31:18,679 somebody drops something off a balcony 1928 01:31:18,679 --> 01:31:20,320 things like that the balconies are 1929 01:31:20,320 --> 01:31:22,119 recessed and don't hang over the 1930 01:31:22,119 --> 01:31:27,159 sidewalk so none of the balconies will be correct over our property that 1931 01:31:27,159 --> 01:31:30,280 answers that perfect um so the the last 1932 01:31:30,280 -->
