1
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:29,200
I have the sign-up sheet for the Opposed Amendment to the zoning law pertaining signs. No one has signed up to address the board. Is there someone here who would like to address the board regarding signs? People may speak by it.

2
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:36,340
We'll hold the public hearing on behalf of signs open for a short period of time.

3
00:00:39,900 --> 00:00:44,040
All right. I'm going to motion to be closed. The public hearing on signs. There are seconds. Thank you.

4
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:45,100
Thank you. Any discussion?

5
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,740
Once again, I believe we exhausted the room so far as signs.

6
00:00:50,180 --> 00:00:51,860
Was there anyone who attended this evening,

7
00:00:52,100 --> 00:00:54,020
hoping to adjust the town board about signs?

8
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:56,040
Okay.

9
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:58,140
All of the favorite poses.

10
00:00:58,360 --> 00:00:58,640
Say aye.

11
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:00,240
Any pose?

12
00:01:01,100 --> 00:01:01,780
Motion carries.

13
00:01:04,410 --> 00:01:04,630
All right.

14
00:01:04,730 --> 00:01:05,350
In a few minutes,

15
00:01:05,350 --> 00:01:10,110
we're scheduled to start the public hearing on the proposed change for the villas.

16
00:01:10,430 --> 00:01:12,170
That will happen at six o'clock.

17
00:01:13,490 --> 00:01:20,230
There's a sign of she the first game was coming to the room if you'd like to address the board. Please sign up. Thank you.

18
00:01:21,470 --> 00:01:23,570
Yes. Okay. Thank you.

19
00:01:23,610 --> 00:01:24,490
I think we're close to that.

20
00:01:25,210 --> 00:01:30,290
That's the feeling that we went somewhere in the project team that the residents is. Thank you.

21
00:01:30,710 --> 00:01:31,330
It's not.

22
00:01:31,650 --> 00:01:31,950
You're not.

23
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:35,160
Sorry.

24
00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:37,720
You're having a conversation. I'll stop out of here.

25
00:01:44,820 --> 00:01:49,180
Thank you for this opportunity at the meeting on September 6th.

26
00:01:49,180 --> 00:01:53,920
Several items came up that we wanted to address first as a supervisor for still a mission

27
00:01:54,320 --> 00:02:00,440
that was made apparent to the town board who was in direct with the planning board that

28
00:02:01,660 --> 00:02:07,820
the last short habits for the last residents were come for disabled persons of the property

29
00:02:07,820 --> 00:02:16,000
adjacent to the planned development, and that's an item that needs to be addressed as a part of the planning board's state environment and quality work.

30
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:24,340
So we met with the organization that runs the Lashert House background services of the Hudson Valley.

31
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:36,980
They were concerned about the proximity of their property and porch to see our project and also be affected by any.

32
00:02:36,980 --> 00:02:39,980
Instruction, noise, dust, and the light.

33
00:02:40,620 --> 00:02:42,380
So we show them an updated tree survey,

34
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,400
property and art properties,

35
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,480
to show them where small damper trees

36
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,360
that were on the original survey are located,

37
00:02:48,740 --> 00:02:52,220
blocking that board to show them a planting design,

38
00:02:52,380 --> 00:02:54,600
show additional plentings that are going out there

39
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,480
to filter the news from there.

40
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,360
And we also share with them information

41
00:02:59,980 --> 00:03:03,440
about weens and measures to be taken during construction,

42
00:03:04,060 --> 00:03:06,840
to minimize the dust, the noise that would happen

43
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,320
that they could possibly affect their residents.

44
00:03:10,180 --> 00:03:12,260
We had a good meeting with them,

45
00:03:12,420 --> 00:03:14,460
and we had an exchange with Austin Grine,

46
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,220
who was a chief operating officer of that organization,

47
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,300
and he said that he appreciated our transparency,

48
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,920
our willingness to come forward and to share

49
00:03:25,460 --> 00:03:28,300
what we intended to do to try and, you know,

50
00:03:28,700 --> 00:03:31,740
minimize any impact on the lash and hold of his residents,

51
00:03:32,220 --> 00:03:33,660
and he said that he would, you know,

52
00:03:33,860 --> 00:03:35,920
follow the planning board and decisions

53
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,380
about how this could impact the same environment point.

54
00:03:40,860 --> 00:03:46,160
The second item to team up for that same field is that someone had

55
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,660
noted that the form that you fill out called the environmental assessment form

56
00:03:50,660 --> 00:03:55,260
had indicated that we would be having the elastic on the side to part of the

57
00:03:55,260 --> 00:03:55,560
segment.

58
00:03:56,260 --> 00:03:58,380
We made the statement. It's invariably checked.

59
00:03:58,700 --> 00:04:01,220
There's no plan to have any glass in there.

60
00:04:01,220 --> 00:04:05,000
We submitted all of this information to the planning board.

61
00:04:05,540 --> 00:04:07,840
They asked us to do this and to follow up.

62
00:04:09,220 --> 00:04:15,820
And they found that their original finding of there being no significant impact would stand up.

63
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,720
They'd not find anything there and change there earlier.

64
00:04:18,900 --> 00:04:23,040
So I just wanted to give you that update from the planning board side.

65
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,220
In addition, there were some comments made in September 6th.

66
00:04:27,220 --> 00:04:36,780
We just wanted to talk to some things that we think that were mentioned, that we're not on the mark, they were incorrect, otherwise we're just representing our intentions.

67
00:04:37,580 --> 00:04:40,520
The first three of those is around the issue of affordability.

68
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:51,980
Our team was accused of misrepresenting this fraud somehow these residential units are to be developed were not going to be affordable.

69
00:04:51,980 --> 00:04:59,300
And what I would say to that is that we are very specifically using state and federal

70
00:04:59,300 --> 00:05:05,180
guidelines and am fine for state funds, the Department of Funds and for the renewal

71
00:05:05,620 --> 00:05:09,260
that require this to be affordable house.

72
00:05:09,500 --> 00:05:14,940
It sets income limits on the residents, and it sets limits on the rents, but you can

73
00:05:14,940 --> 00:05:18,640
allow the charge of those residents, and that's what makes this affordable house.

74
00:05:19,660 --> 00:05:20,380
That's the law.

75
00:05:20,380 --> 00:05:23,380
We intended to follow the law with this project.

76
00:05:24,280 --> 00:05:26,220
Second issue is one about taxes.

77
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,320
We're specifically about real estate taxes.

78
00:05:29,260 --> 00:05:33,640
Again, in New York State through the Department of

79
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,720
Cones and Community Renewal, there's not some

80
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,040
exemption that these products are automatically exempt

81
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,180
from real estate taxes.

82
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,260
On the contrary, it's a requirement that you engage with

83
00:05:45,260 --> 00:05:48,740
the town to work out essentially a tax client.

84
00:05:48,740 --> 00:05:54,000
Right now, the Dominican Sisters on the property do not pay real estate taxes.

85
00:05:54,580 --> 00:05:56,500
We intend to pay real estate taxes.

86
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:01,780
We've made a proposal to the town on this same issue, and again, following the state's

87
00:06:01,780 --> 00:06:07,340
requirements on this, we'll come to the town and negotiate agreement to pay real estate

88
00:06:07,340 --> 00:06:10,940
taxes, which will be an increase in the revenues to the town.

89
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:18,660
The, uh, the final reason I want to mention concerns, um, access, particularly for emergency

90
00:06:18,660 --> 00:06:19,140
vehicles.

91
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,140
There's some questions there about that.

92
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:26,660
And what I would say is that the entrance to the property, private property, would be

93
00:06:26,660 --> 00:06:31,540
wide and just to make sure that it was fully accessible to emergency vehicles, the width of

94
00:06:31,540 --> 00:06:37,200
the internal roadways, 22 feet into the New York State Fire Code, there's in terms of circling

95
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:43,400
to go around all of the buildings and these are very much designed to make sure that these vehicles

96
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:49,860
have proper access in case there is some climate emergency. Finally, this was now brought up

97
00:06:49,860 --> 00:06:56,040
at the September 6 meeting, but it's come to our attention since then. We had communications

98
00:06:57,740 --> 00:07:04,440
indirectly a year ago with the local solidities of storage preservation commission. They reached out

99
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:11,780
to us again. They have some documentation that shows that there may be some remains, some

100
00:07:11,780 --> 00:07:17,900
partial remains of an older stone building, which is in the foundation or in the basement

101
00:07:17,900 --> 00:07:23,800
of the existing building. And they wanted to come in and sort of test for probe to take a look

102
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:29,060
around. And we're willing to work with them. We're very much focused on what we're trying to do

103
00:07:29,060 --> 00:07:35,560
here with the town boards and what I would say to them is we're a very long way if we make

104
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:40,000
through with all these approvals from getting to the point of having you know a demolition

105
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:46,020
flank or say. I just wanted to say to the record that we're happy to engage with them and to work

106
00:07:46,020 --> 00:07:52,000
with them to try to figure out you know what there might be that they consider to be valuable there

107
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,160
and perhaps together and sometimes to preserve that in some way.

108
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:02,580
So thank you. I want to recently, if I could, just give this to Ryan Green for a moment.

109
00:08:02,740 --> 00:08:04,360
Okay. Thank you.

110
00:08:10,090 --> 00:08:10,450
Thank you.

111
00:08:10,570 --> 00:08:13,610
Thank you, Matt, and we invite everyone to spend the day.

112
00:08:14,490 --> 00:08:20,900
My comments this evening referred to comments that were made.

113
00:08:21,260 --> 00:08:27,380
I think it's the less public hearing than in prior meetings that in fact,

114
00:08:27,380 --> 00:08:35,820
the intention of the genetic assistance of Spark here was to build this property and not

115
00:08:35,820 --> 00:08:43,340
make it available for the residents of the sororities community, but instead use the

116
00:08:43,340 --> 00:08:50,620
apartments for their old members, that in fact our intention was to provide housing for our

117
00:08:50,620 --> 00:08:58,160
home sisters. I want to address that directly. The Dominican Sisters of Spark will have every

118
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:05,600
intention of moving forward with this project. Should we receive the approvals that are necessary

119
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:14,880
in order to build a project of affordable senior housing that will serve the needs of the

120
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,780
and surrounding communities.

121
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,240
The sisters have housing.

122
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,240
They have assisted living, independent living,

123
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,460
a mother house, a place where our frail,

124
00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:32,960
elderly reside and are cared for,

125
00:09:33,500 --> 00:09:36,360
and have no need.

126
00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:41,880
And I have to say desire at this point to move to

127
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:52,360
As much as we have loved our time here and have used this property for our own benefit for purposes of great retreat recreation.

128
00:09:53,060 --> 00:09:58,500
We are not intended that this will be a housing project for the diminishing systems.

129
00:09:58,500 --> 00:10:08,280
Our attention is in the certain needs of the community of service following all of the state regulations in terms of eligibility.

130
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,560
of the project being done, but to accept applications.

131
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,400
And so that is the clarification that I intend to make.

132
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:24,180
Thank you.

133
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:25,520
Thank you.

134
00:10:32,900 --> 00:10:36,600
We begin with lists of speakers who have signed up to speak.

135
00:10:41,300 --> 00:10:47,080
We're going to remind everyone we're going to allocate two minutes for a speaker and we're

136
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,940
going to set the timer when you hear the timer above the next two years time.

137
00:10:52,780 --> 00:10:53,220
Good evening.

138
00:10:54,260 --> 00:10:59,840
Since my home is on the property line at the entrance to the project, we've done some research.

139
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:06,440
We want to know exactly what or who will be living next with us 200 feet from our bedroom windows.

140
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:16,060
When we bought on this quiet residential lane, we knew we'd have neighbors, a family of two, four, or even six, a few cars in the driveway.

141
00:11:17,020 --> 00:11:29,260
However, in just a year's time, our new immediate neighbor will be four free-story buildings with 122 apartments, balconies and dozens of windows all facing our single family home.

142
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:35,440
over 100 streetlights. At this time, there are zero streetlights in

143
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:40,180
building length. Talking a lot with over 100 vehicles, not

144
00:11:40,180 --> 00:11:45,280
dimensions, a couple hundred residents driving up and down

145
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:49,680
building lanes in front of our home. How is this project allowable

146
00:11:49,680 --> 00:11:53,620
in this single family residential lane? The current zoning is

147
00:11:53,620 --> 00:11:57,540
in place for a reason and it shouldn't be changed. Additionally,

148
00:11:57,540 --> 00:12:01,980
When I looked up other apartments run by the Dominican sisters, I found that their

149
00:12:01,980 --> 00:12:08,000
residents, the Thorke Village in Spark Hill, while it started out as a

150
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:14,040
affordable senior housing, it is now federally subsidized club housing. Also known as

151
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:19,620
Section 8 housing. If this project moves forward, I'd like to know how we can

152
00:12:19,620 --> 00:12:25,020
prevent this type of change down the road for welding. Also, I'm here to

153
00:12:25,020 --> 00:12:30,180
express our resentment and disbelief around the process in the last 15 months.

154
00:12:31,230 --> 00:12:35,860
At the only neighborhood meeting over a year ago, the Dominican sisters outlined their

155
00:12:35,860 --> 00:12:36,360
project.

156
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:37,740
They asked for feedback.

157
00:12:38,220 --> 00:12:41,140
Our feedback was completely dismissed, it was ignored.

158
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:46,240
We expressed concerns about doubling the vehicle traffic where we walk our elderly, our pets

159
00:12:46,650 --> 00:12:47,980
and where our children play.

160
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:54,840
We asked about the one-way entry, the extreme close proximity of the three-story structure

161
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,900
to the street lighting all right up against our single family homes.

162
00:12:58,540 --> 00:13:04,280
When we asked that they please reduce the size to two stories or to some fewer units,

163
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:12,040
we were told that it, quote, wouldn't be profitable on a smaller scale, not profitable.

164
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:18,500
This was the extent that the Dominican sisters included their neighbors, all 50 homes and families

165
00:13:18,500 --> 00:13:21,820
who have supported them for the last 41 years.

166
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:29,180
When we, when do the residents of Swalding Lane get their meeting, when do we get accommodations

167
00:13:29,180 --> 00:13:33,540
for the infosition on our front yards, at our front doors, and on our wallets?

168
00:13:34,420 --> 00:13:38,560
While they didn't even know that the Lancer House group come existed, or even how to get

169
00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:43,260
to it, they might also not know much about the rest of Swalding Lane neighbors.

170
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:49,100
These neighbors are upset and concerned because they work hard, many of the work's multiple

171
00:13:49,100 --> 00:13:49,560
jobs.

172
00:13:50,580 --> 00:13:55,720
Some have multiple generations living under warm room, just to pay their mortgage and their taxes.

173
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:03,300
All your neighbors want, after a long day or is a safe place to rest and raise their families.

174
00:14:04,740 --> 00:14:12,100
This is why your Hudson River property was owned low-density, high- low-up, to limit its development.

175
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:14,120
Thank you.

176
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:14,660
Thank you.

177
00:14:14,660 --> 00:14:15,580
I'm

178
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:21,240
sorry.

179
00:14:21,500 --> 00:14:22,020
My

180
00:14:33,540 --> 00:14:35,380
name is Darlene Moore.

181
00:14:36,020 --> 00:14:36,620
I'm sorry.

182
00:14:36,900 --> 00:14:37,480
I'm a big sister.

183
00:14:38,900 --> 00:14:41,360
Darlene, we might be fooling the face of it.

184
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,060
Have it towards your mouth and you'll get a better response.

185
00:14:50,590 --> 00:14:51,330
Just hold it.

186
00:14:52,770 --> 00:14:52,890
Okay.

187
00:14:54,090 --> 00:14:55,290
My name is Darlene Moore.

188
00:14:55,510 --> 00:14:56,290
I live at 37.

189
00:14:56,550 --> 00:14:56,710
I'm sorry.

190
00:14:57,490 --> 00:14:58,170
I'm sorry.

191
00:14:59,390 --> 00:14:59,710
I'm sorry.

192
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:29,980
Thank you to the board for the opportunity to voice my concern that I admit. I'm concerned about all the added traffic to our school dead end road. We have no outlet on the consulting line. Now, I w has already increased with all the new buildings and residents in our area. I'm also wondering how this is going to affect our emergency services or police and the environment department, what's the impact on them, which is usually it's also on us. I'd like to know how much

193
00:15:29,980 --> 00:15:34,760
Phil is going into this project and where it's being where it's coming from.

194
00:15:35,500 --> 00:15:40,600
I thought that what lands were protected and where's the runoff coming up into the river.

195
00:15:41,300 --> 00:15:46,240
This is an ambitious plan and who's going to be responsible for this job site.

196
00:15:46,780 --> 00:15:54,960
We're talking about our waters and sewers and everything and water is an actual resource and they can't last forever.

197
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:59,880
And if we keep building insolvenes like this, we're going to be out of it.

198
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:06,740
And there's also a cemetery, which in their own folk states that not only is it a family

199
00:16:06,740 --> 00:16:12,560
cemetery, but it's also a burial grounds area for slaves that are unmarked and in that

200
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,520
area, but not in that, and there's a cemetery.

201
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:20,620
There's also the laughter house where the sisters and the developers have made a deal with

202
00:16:20,620 --> 00:16:21,140
management.

203
00:16:21,140 --> 00:16:27,320
the employees and residents who have been our friends are no longer allowed to speak to us.

204
00:16:28,060 --> 00:16:28,740
Why?

205
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,440
The residents themselves are not the favor of this project.

206
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,200
The management might be.

207
00:16:36,940 --> 00:16:44,040
We as neighbors have tried talking to the developer, and there's absolutely no compromise there.

208
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:55,080
That is a two-plus or housing development with a 122 humans fit into a neighborhood of mostly one-story homes with only one way out.

209
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:01,120
We are not again seen in our portable housing, but this is too large.

210
00:17:01,820 --> 00:17:06,700
And I'd like you to please take long and hard before passing us on for a zoning change.

211
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,080
Thank you for the opportunity for slightly service.

212
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:11,280
Thank you.

213
00:17:15,570 --> 00:17:16,030
Thank you.

214
00:17:16,030 --> 00:17:16,510
Mike Yano,

215
00:17:27,390 --> 00:17:33,530
you so you know, I have money copied to the certain piece that appears out, and

216
00:17:33,530 --> 00:17:37,850
I'll give one to Matt all self that said, so I just want to tell you something to begin

217
00:17:37,850 --> 00:17:38,090
now.

218
00:17:38,670 --> 00:17:38,770
Yeah.

219
00:17:39,030 --> 00:17:41,650
The low my name is Mike Yano, I was out of my 55th birthday.

220
00:17:42,430 --> 00:17:46,450
I've been following this project over the years since I've worked in planning board.

221
00:17:47,130 --> 00:17:52,310
Everybody that is smoking at the first meeting, unfortunately my opinion differs from many

222
00:17:52,310 --> 00:17:59,430
up, 17 people spoke for the project, 17 people spoke against the project, 21 people spoke

223
00:17:59,430 --> 00:18:05,270
for it. Of those 21 people, nine of them were sisters. The sisters are not residents

224
00:18:05,270 --> 00:18:10,330
in the community, but they should be respected for their commons. All the people that spoke

225
00:18:10,330 --> 00:18:15,770
against the project were residents, the small wing, our taxpayers and local residents

226
00:18:15,770 --> 00:18:20,790
in the living community. The small wing-winning residents come, almost come to every meeting

227
00:18:20,790 --> 00:18:22,210
and pertaining to this project.

228
00:18:22,530 --> 00:18:24,090
At the beginning of the project,

229
00:18:24,330 --> 00:18:26,590
the applicant stated that he met with local residents

230
00:18:26,930 --> 00:18:29,750
and said they were receptive and favorable to the project.

231
00:18:30,350 --> 00:18:32,670
If anyone goes down slowly and they will find out,

232
00:18:33,110 --> 00:18:35,930
90% of the residents have signs against the project.

233
00:18:36,430 --> 00:18:39,090
I am confused to the designation of the project.

234
00:18:39,650 --> 00:18:40,690
Is it senior housing?

235
00:18:41,190 --> 00:18:42,970
Is it affordable senior housing?

236
00:18:43,410 --> 00:18:45,210
Or is it low income senior housing

237
00:18:45,210 --> 00:18:46,370
like many people believe?

238
00:18:47,150 --> 00:18:50,510
Will this project be put

239
00:18:50,510 --> 00:18:53,430
of solvities and all security residents at first,

240
00:18:53,630 --> 00:18:54,970
what will be a lottery

241
00:18:54,970 --> 00:18:57,030
for the entire state surrounding areas?

242
00:18:57,570 --> 00:18:59,090
My question is for the project.

243
00:18:59,570 --> 00:19:02,370
The traffic study done by the town engineer Phil Grille

244
00:19:02,370 --> 00:19:06,170
dated November 10th, 2022 did not include

245
00:19:06,170 --> 00:19:08,850
the following projects approved after the study.

246
00:19:09,270 --> 00:19:12,570
I asked for a build out of Terry Quirtle's number of drafts,

247
00:19:12,790 --> 00:19:15,030
misleading information about propants.

248
00:19:15,350 --> 00:19:16,950
They said one for unit building,

249
00:19:16,950 --> 00:19:24,190
one in fact it is four unit, four four units consisting of three apartments, two and three

250
00:19:24,190 --> 00:19:24,510
bedrooms.

251
00:19:25,170 --> 00:19:27,730
Jeffrey Court, ten, almost two and three bedrooms.

252
00:19:28,350 --> 00:19:31,010
Mozilla, 18 units, two and three bedrooms.

253
00:19:31,570 --> 00:19:34,250
The Veterans Reintegration Center, twin maples.

254
00:19:34,850 --> 00:19:40,030
Village is saw in this north street, 87 units building in the village by the bridge, the red

255
00:19:40,030 --> 00:19:40,330
bridge.

256
00:19:40,910 --> 00:19:46,430
The new pizza store at the end is flowing way known as Tessels, building complex at Dragon

257
00:19:46,430 --> 00:19:49,770
and then at no time does this traffic study occur when hits,

258
00:19:49,930 --> 00:19:52,570
the garlic festival saw all the baseball tournaments

259
00:19:52,570 --> 00:19:54,110
and the stallion games are on.

260
00:19:54,630 --> 00:19:57,510
The outdoor civilian at Ryan's house

261
00:19:57,510 --> 00:20:00,090
built for activities at the Ryan's house is something

262
00:20:00,090 --> 00:20:02,450
that when the applicants submitted their traffic study,

263
00:20:02,650 --> 00:20:04,670
they stated they included school traffic,

264
00:20:05,010 --> 00:20:07,190
but they did their study in August

265
00:20:07,190 --> 00:20:09,070
when none of the schools were in session.

266
00:20:09,690 --> 00:20:11,390
Therefore, they did not take into account

267
00:20:11,390 --> 00:20:13,250
the 34 kids that lived in the neighborhood.

268
00:20:13,870 --> 00:20:14,850
My elder concerns.

269
00:20:14,850 --> 00:20:23,910
I was able to have 3,000, 3,044 calls in 2022, a video of the two members of this organization

270
00:20:23,910 --> 00:20:27,930
this year stated they are on a purchase or passing last year's calls.

271
00:20:28,810 --> 00:20:29,850
And if this...

272
00:20:30,830 --> 00:20:31,650
You're up up.

273
00:20:32,350 --> 00:20:33,490
Well, that's your time.

274
00:20:34,290 --> 00:20:35,590
You quickly wrap up.

275
00:20:36,250 --> 00:20:36,430
Okay.

276
00:20:37,050 --> 00:20:37,570
That's your time.

277
00:20:39,310 --> 00:20:41,430
I have another half a page.

278
00:20:41,710 --> 00:20:42,030
All right.

279
00:20:42,030 --> 00:20:47,610
All right. Okay. We'll see if we come back to school to speak at the end. Okay.

280
00:20:48,330 --> 00:20:48,630
All right.

281
00:20:55,740 --> 00:20:56,220
Bremen.

282
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:58,400
Ragas.

283
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:09,820
My name is Ray the Gregson.

284
00:21:09,980 --> 00:21:12,840
We have a behalf of certain residents who are opposed to that.

285
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,120
It's going to point out that the.

286
00:21:15,700 --> 00:21:19,500
The fact that this application was submitted in such a.

287
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:21,880
Half.

288
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:26,820
a face manner indicates the truth behind this applicant.

289
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,120
It should be a withdrawn and resuminated,

290
00:21:30,500 --> 00:21:33,680
to be correctly submitted again.

291
00:21:34,460 --> 00:21:37,720
The fact that it's saying that they somehow missed,

292
00:21:38,700 --> 00:21:42,000
there was a lasher home in the community as two things.

293
00:21:42,620 --> 00:21:44,320
Either they completely didn't care

294
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,080
or they were completely incompetent, I don't know which one.

295
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:50,500
But that's one indication which shows

296
00:21:50,500 --> 00:21:57,080
was there's bad faith in the submission of the publication of the fact that they said

297
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:58,640
that the

298
00:22:01,870 --> 00:22:03,230
garden,

299
00:22:06,940 --> 00:22:11,040
certain pumps station will need to be evaluated by the applicants

300
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:15,620
engineer to verify that sufficient capacity exists to serve a project.

301
00:22:16,540 --> 00:22:21,040
The sufficient capacity design exists in improvements to the town pump station may be required.

302
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:28,860
Now that seems to be an initial determination that shouldn't have been concluded before any application was submitted.

303
00:22:29,580 --> 00:22:32,960
There was no basis to submit this without that information.

304
00:22:33,940 --> 00:22:37,320
And that seems to be an intentional petition.

305
00:22:41,190 --> 00:22:47,830
In fact, they said that it's already indicated on page 10 of the initial application and says,

306
00:22:47,830 --> 00:22:56,670
Are there any facilities that are shown to be able to get disability again, they said no, that's the last one that was clearly described.

307
00:22:57,590 --> 00:23:08,270
The fact that they are unable to determine whether or not the water will be properly released into the Hudson without a breakage.

308
00:23:08,270 --> 00:23:13,010
Again, that's an English, they know what needs to be done, and then purposely avoiding that.

309
00:23:13,610 --> 00:23:21,290
And they're doing that to this one simple reason to try to get past the initial resistance that is an obvious element in this role.

310
00:23:21,710 --> 00:23:30,870
So I think this board does that the community is against it, and they're not doing it for any reason, and that there's no benefit to the community.

311
00:23:30,870 --> 00:23:44,130
The only one that's going to benefit this is going to be the developer and who are they, we don't only know because the fact that they're developing it currently the name developer, the name operator is unknown.

312
00:23:44,950 --> 00:23:52,670
And that will definitely be an important element for this for this board to decide who is going to be approved or not.

313
00:23:53,310 --> 00:23:56,390
There were a lot of emissions and emissions are not accidentally

314
00:23:56,390 --> 00:23:59,950
that are intentional. So I'm asking if you'd be aware and

315
00:23:59,950 --> 00:24:02,490
keep an eye out. Thank you.

316
00:24:09,260 --> 00:24:09,480
Charlie,

317
00:24:09,660 --> 00:24:11,340
I'd like

318
00:24:17,330 --> 00:24:18,230
to

319
00:24:18,230 --> 00:24:23,830
appreciate Matt, Lexler and sister, I really

320
00:24:23,830 --> 00:24:27,790
prepared for some of these things that are for our concerns.

321
00:24:28,190 --> 00:24:30,330
Now we can start. Read me again.

322
00:24:34,270 --> 00:24:40,250
Again, I would like to repeat that we are not against affordable senior housing or

323
00:24:40,250 --> 00:24:45,110
the need globally, or the two acronym numbers, we are not an envy.

324
00:24:45,730 --> 00:24:48,410
We think that the proposal is just too large.

325
00:24:49,330 --> 00:24:55,110
I have a current theme and what I would like to say is consideration and consider legitimate

326
00:24:55,110 --> 00:24:55,890
concerns.

327
00:24:56,930 --> 00:25:03,670
We know we're not negotiating, we're asking you with both both, or to ruling on the

328
00:25:03,670 --> 00:25:09,330
sonic chase and consider these concerns until a reduced proposal could be considered.

329
00:25:09,970 --> 00:25:14,330
After all, zoning laws are intended to use protection and not take them lightly.

330
00:25:14,970 --> 00:25:20,210
Concerned traffic, all the other forces and concerns that have been raised, fire, ambulance,

331
00:25:20,470 --> 00:25:25,650
wetlands, destruction, nature, wildlife, environmental concern, it's abandoned remotely.

332
00:25:25,650 --> 00:25:34,410
We addressed all brought to light the letter by the scenic Hudson and neighbors about box turtles, bats, et cetera.

333
00:25:34,810 --> 00:25:42,870
We're asking you to consider all the ramifications of demolition intrusion and construction of projects this day on this location.

334
00:25:42,870 --> 00:25:49,930
In regards to the governor's goal of 800,000 affordable housing units, her state committee

335
00:25:49,930 --> 00:25:55,730
on affordable housing's recommendation, the research model has strongly suggested that

336
00:25:55,730 --> 00:26:01,290
from projects that have entry and exit school neighborhoods, such as ours, should be between

337
00:26:01,290 --> 00:26:07,190
8 to 60 units, larger than that, groups to create permanent problems and issues that display

338
00:26:07,190 --> 00:26:07,710
neighborhoods.

339
00:26:08,330 --> 00:26:13,310
consider a small developing, consider a small development, still will address their

340
00:26:13,310 --> 00:26:18,410
formation and helping and contribute to the community need. There would be less

341
00:26:18,410 --> 00:26:22,290
intrusion on the sacred ground that was mentioned and on the North Slayer

342
00:26:22,290 --> 00:26:27,550
Grays. There were mentioned, that were mentioned, all the food. As was mentioned

343
00:26:27,550 --> 00:26:32,310
before, that was in the book, there's also a picture in this book of disvolving

344
00:26:32,310 --> 00:26:41,940
house that was mentioned and actually complimented about the fact that the rules are 4 feet thick.

345
00:26:43,100 --> 00:26:48,060
I'm not sure about how you get it. I guess you could just pull those those over but it's been

346
00:26:48,060 --> 00:26:54,160
altered before to have that taken down and rebuilt on the property and there's been no response

347
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:55,940
I do wonder,

348
00:27:06,030 --> 00:27:18,910
well, I'm proud to show you my age when I entertain the thought of the proposal like this, they can be comfortable, nice, and a success, but let's be accepted by all.

349
00:27:19,510 --> 00:27:21,830
That's about basically finally have a good one.

350
00:27:22,070 --> 00:27:22,470
Thank you.

351
00:27:52,530 --> 00:27:56,030
I don't understand the rush.

352
00:27:57,370 --> 00:28:00,850
Change the zone when you don't even have the fast.

353
00:28:01,770 --> 00:28:03,270
Really make it the termination.

354
00:28:03,850 --> 00:28:07,710
You don't know who the operator really is.

355
00:28:08,290 --> 00:28:11,710
This is enough across the organization as the development.

356
00:28:12,690 --> 00:28:14,430
But if you look them up online.

357
00:28:14,430 --> 00:28:22,010
You'll find that their executives and their staff make a huge amount of money, and that

358
00:28:22,010 --> 00:28:27,930
they are affiliated with four profit investors which operate the product base.

359
00:28:28,750 --> 00:28:34,730
So you don't really even have the facts, and if you push through this change of zoning

360
00:28:34,730 --> 00:28:42,310
and this development does not go through, you open the doors as a matter of right for someone

361
00:28:42,310 --> 00:28:46,510
else to develop it in a way in the future, very differently than what you would think.

362
00:28:47,310 --> 00:28:49,130
So let's start off by not rushing.

363
00:28:49,930 --> 00:28:57,670
Surface mode, okay, then face their studies on various times in the past with less rain.

364
00:28:58,450 --> 00:29:04,470
They have not addressed what they've seen that the potential for climate change and increase

365
00:29:04,470 --> 00:29:05,050
the rates.

366
00:29:06,070 --> 00:29:09,450
There will be a lot more water coming up, but a lot more disturbed.

367
00:29:10,750 --> 00:29:19,390
those lands a lot of them are limestone. Okay, limestone of the roads, it creates problems and we'll create bigger problems than you can see.

368
00:29:20,270 --> 00:29:38,610
No one has addressed that. There are misstatements in this mission. Okay, this is not, we are dealing with, ultimately, you're dealing with the operator who will then go in and make more money because it's being kept up to tax limits.

369
00:29:39,610 --> 00:29:45,630
Yes, they may make the contribution to new attacks, but is it going to be based upon the

370
00:29:45,630 --> 00:29:48,710
fill, the full build-out value of what is put up there?

371
00:29:49,550 --> 00:29:50,750
No, I don't think so.

372
00:29:52,230 --> 00:29:58,990
Okay, the operating entity that will run this thing is not the mimic gift, and it's not

373
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:29,980
You don't understand the finance. You don't understand the, uh, true ramifications of this. Why are you rushing? I don't get it. If they change it, it's going to go somewhere else. It doesn't go through. Someone else will try.

374
00:30:29,980 --> 00:30:35,240
development. Incomements, they're not based upon, or in addition to not based upon

375
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:42,440
overload, but based upon a wider area with much higher incomes. This is not

376
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,820
going to be restricted to solving interest, it's a welcome address, and it's even

377
00:30:45,820 --> 00:30:49,900
else to counting this mess. That says you're not going to get what you think you're

378
00:30:49,900 --> 00:30:58,260
going to get it. So who's benefiting here? Sure, they'll follow state legs, but that's

379
00:30:58,260 --> 00:30:59,420
This is not really waiting for people.

380
00:31:00,500 --> 00:31:01,620
All right, thank you.

381
00:31:08,050 --> 00:31:10,290
I'll pass it off if I know what I'm passing it.

382
00:31:13,430 --> 00:31:13,930
Passing it.

383
00:31:13,990 --> 00:31:14,850
It's a fine yard block.

384
00:31:20,810 --> 00:31:21,110
Your weapon.

385
00:31:23,250 --> 00:31:23,750
How do you put that?

386
00:31:24,070 --> 00:31:24,650
It wasn't a road.

387
00:31:24,710 --> 00:31:26,290
So before I start your parish,

388
00:31:26,830 --> 00:31:30,910
you want to point out did you have a little problem

389
00:31:30,910 --> 00:31:32,870
with the framing of a rush here?

390
00:31:33,850 --> 00:31:38,250
This application came to the town, believe in early summer

391
00:31:38,250 --> 00:31:39,170
of 2022.

392
00:31:39,170 --> 00:31:46,470
You are about to close out 23 and there's, we're trying to follow pace.

393
00:31:46,590 --> 00:31:54,190
It's respectful to everyone involved, developer and residents alike and you know we got this

394
00:31:54,190 --> 00:31:54,810
application.

395
00:31:55,090 --> 00:31:56,050
That's what brought us here.

396
00:31:56,470 --> 00:31:58,450
We didn't have the application and almost would be here.

397
00:31:59,030 --> 00:32:07,270
So there's a, there's a, a timely way to go about this and feel we've tried to be consistent

398
00:32:07,270 --> 00:32:07,850
with that.

399
00:32:07,850 --> 00:32:09,970
a little bit easier as we go through the process.

400
00:32:11,250 --> 00:32:11,730
Okay.

401
00:32:12,010 --> 00:32:12,130
Thank you.

402
00:32:12,690 --> 00:32:13,350
Thank you.

403
00:32:13,630 --> 00:32:13,910
Thank you.

404
00:32:16,330 --> 00:32:20,750
Andrew, maybe a letter and I will forward it by email, although I gave a copy for copies

405
00:32:20,750 --> 00:32:21,330
that were made.

406
00:32:22,390 --> 00:32:26,930
Dear supervisor, members of the town board, the town has started the mission commission.

407
00:32:27,250 --> 00:32:31,350
We'd like to notify you that it still has listed on the town's register.

408
00:32:31,830 --> 00:32:36,150
Exists entirely within the building fabric of the bill of St. Joseph.

409
00:32:37,530 --> 00:32:42,410
with cooperation from the developer's agent, Matt Wentzler, and the Dominican Sisters Permission.

410
00:32:43,250 --> 00:32:47,310
We were able to conduct an initial visit to verify the stone house's existence.

411
00:32:48,030 --> 00:32:48,590
A little background.

412
00:32:49,910 --> 00:32:50,450
Oh, it's good.

413
00:32:51,190 --> 00:32:53,890
This kept coming up at our expert collaboration commission meetings.

414
00:32:55,150 --> 00:32:56,190
And it exists.

415
00:32:56,490 --> 00:32:57,050
It doesn't exist.

416
00:32:57,290 --> 00:32:57,710
It exists.

417
00:32:57,970 --> 00:33:01,030
And with their cooperation, we were able to go in and take the look.

418
00:33:01,030 --> 00:33:07,210
The site visit was conducted by myself, Kevin Durkin, and members of this team.

419
00:33:08,070 --> 00:33:14,190
Mr. Durkin is an accomplished authority on Stonehouse Restoration and salvage for relocation.

420
00:33:14,970 --> 00:33:20,610
His team successfully rescued the bridge house on both main side of the way here in Solvingaes,

421
00:33:20,930 --> 00:33:22,710
which was scheduled for demolition.

422
00:33:23,530 --> 00:33:26,370
He rebuilt in a great county in Maciel.

423
00:33:26,370 --> 00:33:32,690
But he does this throughout the United States of America, rescues old buildings that can

424
00:33:32,690 --> 00:33:34,970
no longer exist where they are.

425
00:33:36,430 --> 00:33:44,110
The bill of St. Joseph, and we gave him a approval by the right for him to take this stonehouse

426
00:33:44,110 --> 00:33:46,870
from the saw-raise and save it in ring-catting.

427
00:33:47,570 --> 00:33:54,430
The bill of St. Joseph contains the entire structure of the 1735s following stone house.

428
00:33:55,130 --> 00:33:59,530
All four walls from the basement, all the way up to the ravage.

429
00:34:00,650 --> 00:34:06,490
And rebuilt, which is, and this, this stone house is on Mars inventory.

430
00:34:06,970 --> 00:34:11,770
Sargeris is the largest collection of stone houses for any community in the state of New York.

431
00:34:12,530 --> 00:34:14,050
Let me take it serious.

432
00:34:15,630 --> 00:34:21,590
The stone house contains much of its original fabric, including pre-next 1735,

433
00:34:21,590 --> 00:34:29,530
A.K.A. Van Lugen, 17th century teachers, and early 18th century architectural features.

434
00:34:29,990 --> 00:34:36,670
The SHPC has been attempting to schedule a follow-up visit for Mr. Gergen to do further

435
00:34:36,670 --> 00:34:42,950
in full investigation about the viability of it, the condition, and just have the full picture

436
00:34:42,950 --> 00:34:44,210
of this house.

437
00:34:44,210 --> 00:34:50,990
And we're still, as Mr. Waxler just said, it's a little premature for them to go for

438
00:34:50,990 --> 00:34:52,930
them, and now understand that.

439
00:34:53,770 --> 00:35:02,110
But the SHPC strongly recommends that the welding stone house be saved in one way or another.

440
00:35:02,270 --> 00:35:09,610
And again, it can be saved where it is, it can be saved elsewhere on the property, or relocated

441
00:35:09,610 --> 00:35:11,410
hopefully elsewhere in the sockets.

442
00:35:12,290 --> 00:35:13,050
Thank you very much.

443
00:35:13,050 --> 00:35:13,970
Thank you.

444
00:35:22,590 --> 00:35:23,790
Grant Lammers.

445
00:35:38,310 --> 00:35:38,730
5 minutes.

446
00:35:39,070 --> 00:35:41,090
We'll be six talking.

447
00:35:42,330 --> 00:35:46,250
Basically, concerned about transparency around this.

448
00:35:47,670 --> 00:35:50,330
Coming from one of the attacks there.

449
00:35:50,710 --> 00:35:52,250
I think everyone should be interested.

450
00:35:55,270 --> 00:35:56,510
I'm concerned

451
00:36:01,890 --> 00:36:07,070
about the transparency that we haven't seen as.

452
00:36:07,070 --> 00:36:10,050
is residents, taxpayers, about this budget.

453
00:36:10,270 --> 00:36:12,950
In other words, as was mentioned previously,

454
00:36:13,550 --> 00:36:17,530
the National Development Council is a nonprofit.

455
00:36:18,290 --> 00:36:19,270
Who will work for it?

456
00:36:20,410 --> 00:36:25,130
And will that, will the landing, who will operate everything?

457
00:36:25,310 --> 00:36:26,770
What are the ramifications of that?

458
00:36:28,110 --> 00:36:29,010
We don't know.

459
00:36:29,710 --> 00:36:32,530
I don't know that anyone can have the answer to that yet.

460
00:36:32,530 --> 00:36:38,610
And the other issue that I think about is the funding of the infrastructure

461
00:36:38,610 --> 00:36:45,050
upgrades that are going to have to take place for service project list size.

462
00:36:45,390 --> 00:36:47,090
Is that being to the taxpayers?

463
00:36:48,390 --> 00:36:51,050
Where does that be to the community of large?

464
00:36:51,130 --> 00:36:55,890
So I think everyone deserves to know before the decisions are made.

465
00:36:56,330 --> 00:36:59,150
So we have to publicly give you the input on that as well.

466
00:37:01,430 --> 00:37:08,230
And basically that's it, you know, we just don't know who these people are, they're going

467
00:37:08,230 --> 00:37:11,310
to be running the place and you're developing it.

468
00:37:11,310 --> 00:37:16,830
A little bit of that, they're a large corporate implement that has a political table.

469
00:37:18,570 --> 00:37:23,110
And that's really, that's really just some points that I wish you guys would consider.

470
00:37:24,170 --> 00:37:25,090
And thank you for your time.

471
00:37:25,870 --> 00:37:26,230
Thank you.

472
00:37:45,910 --> 00:37:49,370
My name is Mark Sinett, I live at the 34th folding lane.

473
00:37:50,290 --> 00:37:54,170
I grew up in the house and my parents had built there in 1954.

474
00:37:54,930 --> 00:37:59,570
I purchased it with my parents because it was such a peaceful neighborhood to raise my children.

475
00:38:00,370 --> 00:38:09,610
I am strongly opposed to the zoning change as this large project is totally out of character who are small neighborhood on this dead end street.

476
00:38:09,610 --> 00:38:16,730
Our houses are not large, and they're proposed three-story, 122-unit complex at numbers

477
00:38:16,730 --> 00:38:20,910
to 50 or so houses that make up the entire school of Indian neighborhood.

478
00:38:22,150 --> 00:38:25,610
I have seen many changes to the lane in the last 62 years.

479
00:38:26,470 --> 00:38:32,090
Many houses were built on vacant lots, but they all remained in character of the neighborhood.

480
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:37,930
In contradiction to traffic studies, this will certainly increase the number of vehicles

481
00:38:37,930 --> 00:38:42,330
to passing by my house as I live with an 300 feet of the property line.

482
00:38:43,010 --> 00:38:48,930
The noise of instruction over a period of two plus years will profoundly have an impact

483
00:38:48,930 --> 00:38:50,050
on my daily life.

484
00:38:50,850 --> 00:38:57,770
I would like to ask each and every one of you, if you lived in my house or on the houses

485
00:38:57,770 --> 00:39:04,290
directly bordering these massive buildings, would you be happy and comfortable with this

486
00:39:04,290 --> 00:39:05,190
zoning change?

487
00:39:05,930 --> 00:39:11,970
I am asking you, please, not go through what does it only change, as it will directly and

488
00:39:11,970 --> 00:39:17,450
greatly impact the quality of life for all the residents on this quiet dead end street.

489
00:39:18,110 --> 00:39:19,570
Thank you for your time, consideration.

490
00:39:27,010 --> 00:39:27,490
Felindicin?

491
00:39:40,550 --> 00:39:41,270
Good evening.

492
00:39:41,690 --> 00:39:45,330
My name is Felindicin and I reside at Forty-Forestville, Maine, as well.

493
00:39:45,670 --> 00:39:49,430
And I have lived here for five years, and I have a close to Felindicin.

494
00:39:49,430 --> 00:39:56,570
If you can remember the last public hearing on September 6th, everyone spoke, both

495
00:39:56,570 --> 00:40:01,030
folding lane residents and the Dominican sisters spoke about peaceful and

496
00:40:01,030 --> 00:40:05,370
serene slowly laying in the property bus. If you change the zoning in this

497
00:40:05,370 --> 00:40:09,830
massive senior housing project is built, numbering more than twice the units of

498
00:40:09,830 --> 00:40:14,910
our homes, the character of this neighborhood will be changed forever. Most of us

499
00:40:14,910 --> 00:40:19,070
have lived on the lane a very long time and some of us grew up here. We already

500
00:40:19,070 --> 00:40:24,850
reside here. And it is for that very reason of the peace and serenity that we do. Is it fair

501
00:40:24,850 --> 00:40:30,430
to take this away from long-term residents and taxpayers? We're often asked in situations

502
00:40:30,430 --> 00:40:35,970
if the benefit outweighs the drawbacks. No one in sororities is guaranteed to benefit from this.

503
00:40:36,710 --> 00:40:41,250
Taxes will not reflect the full value of the development and a lottery system does not limit

504
00:40:41,250 --> 00:40:47,230
the residents to the locals. This project is solely for the benefit of the Dominican sisters

505
00:40:47,230 --> 00:40:52,170
leaders of Swarp Hill and the developers, not resolute and certainly not resolute

506
00:40:52,170 --> 00:40:52,590
lanes.

507
00:40:53,310 --> 00:40:59,510
As elected representatives of the people of the town of Swarp, you will learn a responsible

508
00:40:59,510 --> 00:41:03,050
for making the decision that our family and their lives.

509
00:41:03,710 --> 00:41:04,990
We put our trust in.

510
00:41:06,310 --> 00:41:11,810
I would hope that you and me at the side of this project is too large for our bi-added

511
00:41:11,810 --> 00:41:12,330
industry.

512
00:41:12,330 --> 00:41:12,990
I'm

513
00:41:15,260 --> 00:41:17,240
going to speed it up. Please, I've changed the voting.

514
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:24,180
Unless the project is considerably downsized.

515
00:41:29,820 --> 00:41:31,680
Once it's changed, it will be changed forever,

516
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:33,460
a position that shouldn't be taken lightly.

517
00:41:34,720 --> 00:41:36,660
My model has always been no redress.

518
00:41:37,740 --> 00:41:42,000
And I would not want hasty decisions way of my conscience.

519
00:41:43,060 --> 00:41:45,240
I want to say to all honesty, this is close.

520
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,000
I want to sleep with nights or many of the residents is falling rain.

521
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,700
I mean, thank you for this opportunity to stay.

522
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:52,820
So,

523
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,020
chairperson, my

524
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:16,200
name is Trevor said.

525
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:18,700
I've decided 44 is folding lane,

526
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:19,900
and I grew up on the line.

527
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,180
I am in opposition to the zoning check.

528
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:27,100
Two of us living within 100 yards of the Dominican sisters' property

529
00:42:27,100 --> 00:42:29,080
worked from home as telecommuters.

530
00:42:29,900 --> 00:42:32,160
And some of us don't have access to an office.

531
00:42:34,340 --> 00:42:36,480
The two years of vigorous construction by this plant

532
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:37,860
for the site's civil close five,

533
00:42:38,780 --> 00:42:44,820
natively impact our performance at work and potentially our point. I always felt

534
00:42:44,820 --> 00:42:50,820
this holding lane was the perfect place for a child to go up. As a child, I love

535
00:42:50,820 --> 00:42:56,240
that I could feel safe playing outside in the other neighborhood kids, writing

536
00:42:56,240 --> 00:43:03,080
lights up and down the lane and playing sports in our front doors. I love seeing

537
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:08,660
all children on our street today, also a new spending time outside playing with others,

538
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:13,920
the way that we did. I'm afraid that with this large increase in traffic,

539
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:20,260
so our narrow dead-end street, that this may be taken away from them. I hope that you consider

540
00:43:20,260 --> 00:43:24,660
the impact that this will have on all residents of all ages on open waiting.

541
00:43:38,550 --> 00:43:39,210
Thank you for

542
00:43:39,210 --> 00:43:42,610
asked me to give his climate for me to speak for him.

543
00:43:43,090 --> 00:43:46,890
So himself, Darren, clearly Margaret,

544
00:43:47,090 --> 00:43:49,790
Luke, and myself, they've asked me to speak for them.

545
00:43:49,910 --> 00:43:50,870
They could take it for today.

546
00:43:50,990 --> 00:43:51,650
They're my neighbors.

547
00:43:52,410 --> 00:43:54,450
I see you're going to give you three minutes.

548
00:43:54,730 --> 00:43:58,630
OK, I sent the information that the textbook is written out

549
00:43:58,630 --> 00:43:59,370
to the secretary.

550
00:43:59,430 --> 00:44:01,850
She has to be know of it, that's what I was asked to do earlier.

551
00:44:02,250 --> 00:44:03,670
So you have written permission

552
00:44:03,670 --> 00:44:05,830
that they're giving me the proxy to speak, but you're

553
00:44:07,090 --> 00:44:08,410
I'm not going to give you 12 minutes.

554
00:44:09,610 --> 00:44:11,770
Give me extra minutes to represent other people.

555
00:44:11,910 --> 00:44:13,370
It cannot get here because of disabilities.

556
00:44:13,570 --> 00:44:14,270
That is only fair.

557
00:44:15,990 --> 00:44:16,950
That would be unfair.

558
00:44:17,730 --> 00:44:18,150
Just what?

559
00:44:18,450 --> 00:44:18,830
It's unfair.

560
00:44:19,050 --> 00:44:19,930
We're going to do three minutes.

561
00:44:24,710 --> 00:44:28,130
So disabled people who couldn't make it here are not allowed to have their voice.

562
00:44:28,370 --> 00:44:29,190
You want to be competitive.

563
00:44:29,430 --> 00:44:29,950
We can do no minutes.

564
00:44:30,350 --> 00:44:30,610
It's asking.

565
00:44:30,750 --> 00:44:33,190
I'm going to say I'm going to give you two minutes.

566
00:44:33,650 --> 00:44:34,630
Everybody's going to play with that.

567
00:44:35,150 --> 00:44:35,730
I'm going to do the honor.

568
00:44:35,730 --> 00:44:38,130
So I'm going to start a two-minute sound before I do that.

569
00:44:38,590 --> 00:44:40,870
If you turn on the microphone, where's your mount?

570
00:44:41,730 --> 00:44:42,370
In your ear.

571
00:44:46,150 --> 00:44:47,770
If you push it to your ear, right?

572
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:51,280
I probably got to say it right now.

573
00:44:51,460 --> 00:44:52,380
Now we're doing it.

574
00:44:52,720 --> 00:44:54,160
I don't think you guys are going to hear.

575
00:44:54,300 --> 00:44:54,800
It doesn't matter.

576
00:44:55,780 --> 00:44:56,600
It does say it.

577
00:44:56,720 --> 00:44:57,340
You're on your show.

578
00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:57,780
Sure.

579
00:44:58,160 --> 00:44:58,520
Okay.

580
00:44:58,520 --> 00:44:59,980
Thank you.

581
00:45:00,690 --> 00:45:06,350
Okay, so as part of my three minutes, I still ask the question that if I were to stay in the

582
00:45:06,350 --> 00:45:10,990
person at home, why could I provide a boxy for someone to speak for me, apparently you're

583
00:45:10,990 --> 00:45:20,450
not allowed to. As a new Glasgow Socrates. That is very inappropriate, it's combative. I'm

584
00:45:20,450 --> 00:45:25,850
not going to correct you about that again. We take comments in writing. If there's someone

585
00:45:25,850 --> 00:45:30,450
with a disability, my phone is always available. I have met with people. There has been nobody

586
00:45:30,450 --> 00:45:35,890
design opportunity to present their objection or concern to this project or any other and

587
00:45:35,890 --> 00:45:40,030
that will not change. These individuals are welcome to express themselves to us directly

588
00:45:40,030 --> 00:45:45,910
by text, email, or calling on the phone. But this evening for the privilege of the folks

589
00:45:45,910 --> 00:45:49,570
in the room, we're all going to share three minutes and that is going to be going to happen.

590
00:45:49,770 --> 00:45:53,650
So you're not allowing proxies. I'm just trying to confront that. I think it was pretty clear.

591
00:45:53,650 --> 00:46:00,510
you're at least about your time. You stopped the treatment. So as a voluntary firefighter for

592
00:46:00,510 --> 00:46:09,370
glassic acidities and as a new residence the only two years come this quiet, serene lane.

593
00:46:10,570 --> 00:46:18,570
I moved here to escape the noise and fumes as an 11 survivor with PTSD and head injuries

594
00:46:18,570 --> 00:46:23,330
and Lyme disease that make me nauseous with any fumes and noise.

595
00:46:24,130 --> 00:46:27,370
So, I have been disabled for the past, and I'm lucky to feature it down.

596
00:46:27,830 --> 00:46:31,010
So, I've represented a lot of people with disabilities.

597
00:46:31,930 --> 00:46:33,550
So, I can think I can speak for that.

598
00:46:33,750 --> 00:46:34,970
Great interest in spinal cord.

599
00:46:35,870 --> 00:46:38,410
The fire in EMS regularly spawned to the last warehouse,

600
00:46:38,630 --> 00:46:40,150
as they did in this last Thanksgiving.

601
00:46:40,990 --> 00:46:44,830
Even on this quiet day, two of three of the fire trucks could not get down

602
00:46:44,830 --> 00:46:55,210
to a manner of this side lane. One truck went down and the other stayed at the entrance directly outside of the villas that we're speaking about.

603
00:46:56,370 --> 00:47:06,390
This will be exactly like we'll be dealing with the fire at the villas, a small group of local firefighters swiving there quickly with an outer ladder truck to reach a third story.

604
00:47:06,390 --> 00:47:10,570
Can you imagine a serious fire in the first story and trying to evacuate

605
00:47:10,570 --> 00:47:15,290
an elderly population, a 15-minute delay in getting ladders to the scene?

606
00:47:15,730 --> 00:47:17,630
This means a loss of lives.

607
00:47:18,990 --> 00:47:20,330
That could be numerous.

608
00:47:21,150 --> 00:47:26,430
With a guarantee, there's going to be a massive increase of senior residents walking

609
00:47:26,430 --> 00:47:33,650
driving along with public trucks, parking, GPS service, vans, delivery vans from

610
00:47:33,650 --> 00:47:39,350
the masterhouse has a van's going. Now we're going to have 150 plus rents walking along

611
00:47:39,350 --> 00:47:44,750
spawning lane. Why? Because falling waters is too dangerous to walk on on those trebles.

612
00:47:45,190 --> 00:47:50,030
So they'll be walking just as the sisters did. I believe spawning lane because it's safer

613
00:47:50,030 --> 00:47:56,510
than they are elderly. So you have elderly drivers, you have elderly walkers, you have already the children,

614
00:47:56,510 --> 00:48:02,730
The dogs, you know, the local people every single day walking quietly on this lane.

615
00:48:03,110 --> 00:48:04,330
No sidewalks.

616
00:48:04,470 --> 00:48:09,610
If you increase the width of this road, statistically, you're going to increase more desk.

617
00:48:09,910 --> 00:48:11,430
People drive faster once in a while.

618
00:48:11,750 --> 00:48:13,510
So there's no widening it and making it better.

619
00:48:13,970 --> 00:48:15,190
There's no sidewalks either.

620
00:48:15,930 --> 00:48:17,730
So you have a recipe for disaster.

621
00:48:17,910 --> 00:48:18,970
That's just a lot of them.

622
00:48:23,650 --> 00:48:28,370
This also does not include the opening of the right-of-way that runs right through this complicated

623
00:48:28,370 --> 00:48:28,890
entrance.

624
00:48:29,530 --> 00:48:33,890
Jeff and Nansiano and his staff have seen a host and I have spoken several times about

625
00:48:33,890 --> 00:48:35,290
bringing this trail to fruition.

626
00:48:35,790 --> 00:48:40,270
And I believe the sisters are also behind us, which means there will be more cars than

627
00:48:44,890 --> 00:48:46,010
Thank you.

628
00:48:54,740 --> 00:48:55,440
Thank you.

629
00:49:02,980 --> 00:49:08,180
I like to make sure that you guys all have the letter that I wrote in the email to you.

630
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:10,600
My parents and so forth.

631
00:49:11,300 --> 00:49:17,840
I've created a good point before about time and how long has it been in front of you?

632
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:23,640
And I just wrote down now, time is not the factor, the truth is the factor.

633
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:27,300
And this process still is not complete.

634
00:49:28,100 --> 00:49:33,420
If you go through the environmental form, they don't mention the stone house.

635
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:35,840
They didn't mention lasher house.

636
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:39,360
There was going to be blasting, there's not going to be blasting.

637
00:49:40,340 --> 00:49:45,260
If you go through the storm again, one of them says that there isn't going to be any trees

638
00:49:45,260 --> 00:49:45,940
cut down.

639
00:49:45,940 --> 00:49:52,740
And there's not going to be any existing vegetation and I'm going to get to what I'm going to keep going.

640
00:49:53,700 --> 00:50:00,100
Oh, it's just the natural barriers that there's not going to be taken down.

641
00:50:01,240 --> 00:50:10,880
I'm surprised too that the last meeting of out of people from Blue Mountain less sorrows were here and spoke for the project, which is fine.

642
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:22,760
I don't have a problem with that, but you're moving 187 trees on the projects, replacing them with a middle amount of trees, they don't give you the size of the trees that are replacing it with.

643
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:34,180
So I'd like to know where all these environmentalists are that didn't want trees taken down because of solar arrays, that didn't want trees taken down because of housing developments.

644
00:50:34,180 --> 00:50:43,780
Now, the sudden trees don't matter to them, because the word of the day is senior housing and affordable housing, which is fine.

645
00:50:44,260 --> 00:50:46,960
But I think you have to keep things in respect.

646
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:50,400
I know the word they're getting their number of units.

647
00:50:52,020 --> 00:50:55,860
122 doesn't drive the billable acreage on the product.

648
00:50:56,800 --> 00:51:07,120
I talked to the town, 122 units need 1.5 cars parked next to your 182.

649
00:51:08,180 --> 00:51:12,800
This doesn't even come close to 182 without putting visitor parking in points.

650
00:51:14,420 --> 00:51:16,700
So, why would you change zoning?

651
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:18,460
It doesn't make any sense to me.

652
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:22,120
And I'm not the smartest guy here, but it doesn't make any sense to me.

653
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:28,080
why would you change zoning for something as being presented to you that's a false narrative?

654
00:51:29,340 --> 00:51:35,740
I just don't understand that. Let them get their homework done. Come back with something that

655
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:42,580
is acceptable to move through the planning process and take it from that point.

656
00:51:42,580 --> 00:51:52,700
I realize the time has been a lapse, but the time has been a lapse because of their negligence

657
00:51:52,700 --> 00:51:55,180
and not providing me with the correct information.

658
00:51:56,560 --> 00:52:02,300
So if my task is all tough, I think this would move a little quicker as well.

659
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:04,320
And you're throwing it on the planet.

660
00:52:05,140 --> 00:52:11,740
You're saying, give us what you want, we're going to throw it to the planet and let them

661
00:52:11,740 --> 00:52:17,260
work their way through it. I don't think this will dissolve in change is the way that should work

662
00:52:17,260 --> 00:52:23,200
and I think that would be an injustice not only to myself as a taxpayer because I don't have any

663
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:29,740
bested interest in this but just as a taxpayer what is going to bring down the road so thank

664
00:52:56,240 --> 00:53:08,220
you

665
00:53:10,330 --> 00:53:13,170
All right, so that's really based on both of their hands.

666
00:53:13,790 --> 00:53:14,910
Only their head and hairy.

667
00:53:15,250 --> 00:53:16,130
Yes, yes.

668
00:53:17,030 --> 00:53:17,730
We can hear you.

669
00:53:18,590 --> 00:53:19,450
Well, I was young.

670
00:53:20,010 --> 00:53:23,350
Remember when school had out.

671
00:53:24,350 --> 00:53:25,390
What did this summer.

672
00:53:26,730 --> 00:53:30,090
A bus of the sisters would come down.

673
00:53:30,770 --> 00:53:31,170
That account.

674
00:53:33,260 --> 00:53:33,580
What about.

675
00:53:36,020 --> 00:53:36,840
Oh, cars.

676
00:53:38,860 --> 00:53:41,640
After the summer was over when they put back.

677
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:46,300
One bus, one down, one pick them all up,

678
00:53:48,490 --> 00:53:52,990
no traffic, no, I think what, heavy traffic, like, we're looking at it.

679
00:53:53,850 --> 00:54:03,030
The years, the years, the years, what, what, what, and you say you did a traffic study,

680
00:54:05,240 --> 00:54:10,160
do you, you know, we all know that the child care has increased.

681
00:54:11,860 --> 00:54:22,820
How many people, madam parents, do you know that takes care of their grandchildren since the parents cannot afford child care?

682
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:32,260
That would be traffic every morning, traffic, the way up for you to pick them up.

683
00:54:32,260 --> 00:54:38,740
there are many, many grandparents taking care of their children. This is just too big for that

684
00:54:40,820 --> 00:54:50,220
area. And we all are so fortunate to have the Hudson River, a part of Sloganix. I mean,

685
00:54:50,340 --> 00:54:59,320
think about the Hudson River, a part of Sloganix. And it's like we, for Ireland, they have new,

686
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:09,740
to lead by, and I look across from the Blasto park all the way down and support the change

687
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:21,770
the zoning, it's going to have a simple effect on the property next to the last warehouse,

688
00:55:22,350 --> 00:55:28,010
18 acres, sold them four days. Let's go walk together a little more

689
00:55:36,150 --> 00:55:40,310
They say, well, it's not accessible.

690
00:55:41,270 --> 00:55:41,950
It is.

691
00:55:42,630 --> 00:55:47,510
If people are down across the street from the Bauhaus.

692
00:55:48,370 --> 00:55:53,990
People that have birch street across the street from the Bauhaus come up a little bit.

693
00:55:54,390 --> 00:55:55,770
There's a dead end right away.

694
00:55:56,970 --> 00:55:59,110
So we took all that property.

695
00:55:59,730 --> 00:56:01,390
going to the long back.

696
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:05,560
It's been there for a couple of days.

697
00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:08,860
Well, the nature of the

698
00:56:08,860 --> 00:56:15,620
project sleeps in all sorts of places. I doubt we know which is thrown out, but it's there.

699
00:56:16,180 --> 00:56:21,200
Quite a way to stop that time for us for you. So you can go ahead. Okay. Thank you.

700
00:56:21,460 --> 00:56:21,680
Okay.

701
00:56:28,770 --> 00:56:29,650
Linda Dorno.

702
00:56:29,650 --> 00:56:30,090
I don't know.

703
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:37,100
Here we go.

704
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:47,340
Very much.

705
00:56:47,780 --> 00:56:48,320
This is Ian.

706
00:56:48,700 --> 00:56:48,880
Okay.

707
00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:49,780
Very abruptly.

708
00:56:52,910 --> 00:56:53,170
Sister.

709
00:56:53,810 --> 00:56:54,070
Sister.

710
00:56:59,050 --> 00:56:59,630
Good evening.

711
00:56:59,930 --> 00:57:00,250
Thank you.

712
00:57:00,950 --> 00:57:01,710
I'm sister.

713
00:57:01,950 --> 00:57:02,750
Everybody back later.

714
00:57:02,830 --> 00:57:03,710
I'm continuing sister.

715
00:57:03,950 --> 00:57:05,230
I'm starting to review up.

716
00:57:05,570 --> 00:57:07,610
And I'm hearing the favorite project.

717
00:57:08,370 --> 00:57:11,950
As you will provide affordable senior housing.

718
00:57:12,850 --> 00:57:13,850
Senior and counseling.

719
00:57:13,850 --> 00:57:14,890
They said it's easier.

720
00:57:15,610 --> 00:57:16,630
In all street housing.

721
00:57:17,290 --> 00:57:19,130
And we will know that.

722
00:57:19,130 --> 00:57:23,810
The begging documents are coming on the page and we'll be looking for housing.

723
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:31,650
The sisters are not looking to move up here, sister, you said earlier, you've had any quick

724
00:57:31,650 --> 00:57:38,870
provisions down in the month that can't be air yet for our sisters, and it can't be anything

725
00:57:38,870 --> 00:57:40,030
to go before.

726
00:57:40,890 --> 00:57:47,410
But up here in the cost of accounting and facilities, the need for senior housing is important.

727
00:57:47,410 --> 00:57:50,770
And so, we would like to see our property

728
00:57:51,110 --> 00:57:53,710
to realize we work with affordable season.

729
00:57:55,090 --> 00:57:55,970
Thank you.

730
00:57:57,250 --> 00:57:57,890
Thank you.

731
00:58:02,070 --> 00:58:03,250
Sister Keigh.

732
00:58:25,580 --> 00:58:26,360
Sister Keigh.

733
00:58:27,740 --> 00:58:29,940
That's just more exciting.

734
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:31,520
Very good.

735
00:58:31,940 --> 00:58:32,120
Okay.

736
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:32,820
Here.

737
00:58:33,300 --> 00:58:33,440
Here.

738
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:35,820
Hi, Sister Keigh.

739
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:37,680
And this is Mrs. Professor Spongebob.

740
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:39,080
And I have worked at the appointment.

741
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:40,840
He is on school.

742
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:41,440
He is in school.

743
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:42,880
He is in school.

744
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:43,180
He is in school.

745
00:58:43,180 --> 00:58:47,600
One, I don't know how much that even means for a shared house.

746
00:58:48,140 --> 00:58:51,080
I think that was what I said, I can't understand now.

747
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:53,260
And by the privilege of this shared house.

748
00:58:53,540 --> 00:58:53,740
What?

749
00:58:54,380 --> 00:58:57,980
When I first came, which was 25 years ago,

750
00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:00,540
I went to them and they said, you know,

751
00:59:00,900 --> 00:59:03,340
if you want to walk the residents,

752
00:59:04,180 --> 00:59:06,060
we have a community that is evil,

753
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:07,360
but can we have a kid?

754
00:59:07,820 --> 00:59:10,560
And you're more than welcome at any time.

755
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:12,360
and it was helpful to walk there,

756
00:59:12,940 --> 00:59:15,000
you could sit in the casino and you can look at the river.

757
00:59:15,860 --> 00:59:20,060
No one ever said, yes, no, thank you.

758
00:59:20,340 --> 00:59:21,500
Not there, go jump on the lake.

759
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:24,140
So we had never any response.

760
00:59:25,260 --> 00:59:27,800
I mean, and we all knew we'd walk the ice,

761
00:59:28,140 --> 00:59:29,760
where that should have supposed to be.

762
00:59:29,940 --> 00:59:31,880
So I don't know where that house is staying at.

763
00:59:32,740 --> 00:59:43,660
Two, we have all ways to get things from the spectra when people know that I'm supporting

764
00:59:43,660 --> 00:59:44,120
later.

765
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:53,400
We moved in in 1931 and we put the work out from last place all the way up to my door.

766
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:59,960
We gave it and we maintained it until I was eight, maybe 10 years from the end.

767
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:07,340
That's something down the road to the end. But no one who came in, in the built their phones,

768
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:12,980
or took over, I think that would say that you're there, said, how many paid for the water?

769
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:23,260
And then I had a water bill, which I cared about. And it wasn't until it. It wasn't until 10 years ago,

770
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:30,600
and so did it still go. We also had to pay $10,000. When we were in it, get the water pipe up

771
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:32,160
up to the sporting lane.

772
01:00:32,820 --> 01:00:33,540
All right.

773
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:35,080
I don't care what Maria says.

774
01:00:35,620 --> 01:00:36,940
That's the answer to God's truth.

775
01:00:38,020 --> 01:00:42,340
So I mean, when I'm running on extra money anyway,

776
01:00:42,660 --> 01:00:46,400
but we're trying to do the best to get to see the housing.

777
01:00:47,380 --> 01:00:49,020
I think it's the house.

778
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:50,320
I don't know what you can do.

779
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:52,100
All right.

780
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:55,640
So we're going to have to order for this to be successful.

781
01:00:55,780 --> 01:00:59,560
We have to be able to dump so far your comments are directed to the board.

782
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:00,980
or please go ahead and interrupt the speakers.

783
01:01:01,820 --> 01:01:02,460
Sorry, I have a question.

784
01:01:02,700 --> 01:01:03,620
I'm sorry, that's okay.

785
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:06,300
I haven't seen the housing class.

786
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:07,860
And we

787
01:01:10,010 --> 01:01:13,670
do not have a lot of traffic, right?

788
01:01:13,830 --> 01:01:15,750
I thought it was, I've got to go ahead and get it.

789
01:01:16,470 --> 01:01:20,450
So, nothing else, but that's a car in and out.

790
01:01:20,870 --> 01:01:23,690
I mean, some of the cars, they have never been twice.

791
01:01:24,610 --> 01:01:26,190
So, when you're looking at cars,

792
01:01:26,390 --> 01:01:30,190
where they're coming from, there's not that many, right?

793
01:01:30,190 --> 01:01:34,630
And that senior has, and that's a foreign senior house, otherwise it wouldn't be big.

794
01:01:35,310 --> 01:01:36,250
Right, yeah.

795
01:01:36,850 --> 01:01:40,650
I've seen kids on the roads waiting in school, what's the center of the day?

796
01:01:41,190 --> 01:01:46,870
And there doesn't seem to have to make this problem on picking up the youngsters.

797
01:01:47,250 --> 01:01:53,210
Maybe at the beginning of a sporting lane, they could move to the right, on the lane,

798
01:01:53,210 --> 01:01:56,510
and the bus is not allowed to go on a trip, which it does anyway.

799
01:01:57,170 --> 01:01:58,290
And they got the children there.

800
01:01:58,610 --> 01:01:58,990
I don't know.

801
01:01:59,850 --> 01:02:00,650
It's a work of.

802
01:02:01,570 --> 01:02:05,170
But I think we have an option to do something good for people.

803
01:02:05,910 --> 01:02:07,230
What do the people have?

804
01:02:07,330 --> 01:02:07,970
No phones.

805
01:02:08,890 --> 01:02:09,470
Who have no?

806
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:15,520
People have the issue.

807
01:02:15,700 --> 01:02:16,360
People have the day.

808
01:02:16,460 --> 01:02:19,340
So we have an opportunity where we can help people.

809
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:21,540
There is one thousand.

810
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:23,720
And I think it should be done.

811
01:02:24,740 --> 01:02:25,320
Thank you.

812
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:26,240
Thank you.

813
01:02:29,250 --> 01:02:30,830
Assistant, background.

814
01:02:41,690 --> 01:02:44,530
Assistant, kind of, on the American sisters of our field.

815
01:02:45,590 --> 01:02:47,450
And I just had really two points.

816
01:02:48,170 --> 01:02:54,850
What is that we've had a lot of experience in building and managing senior housing for

817
01:02:54,850 --> 01:02:55,850
40 years.

818
01:02:56,510 --> 01:03:00,770
And there have been many, many seniors who have had wonderful lives, we pose at that.

819
01:03:02,310 --> 01:03:03,070
That's one point.

820
01:03:03,230 --> 01:03:05,790
So I think we do know what we're doing in an area.

821
01:03:05,790 --> 01:03:12,790
area. Secondly, someone mentioned before, every year there are more and more baby boomers

822
01:03:12,790 --> 01:03:19,690
turning senior citizens. And as that population continues to aid, more and more senior students

823
01:03:19,690 --> 01:03:24,710
going to be needed. I was talking to someone earlier and she mentioned something that came

824
01:03:24,710 --> 01:03:31,170
up at the meeting in September, that, you know, she had a loan in her house and would love to have

825
01:03:31,170 --> 01:03:38,310
senior citizen apartments to go to and let her house be born by a family who could fill it up

826
01:03:38,310 --> 01:03:44,410
again as her family was at one point and now she's by herself. So I think when we look at moving

827
01:03:44,410 --> 01:03:52,130
forward, where are senior citizens going to go? It's a beautiful piece of land and we're willing

828
01:03:52,130 --> 01:03:57,950
to build it and manage it in the same way we've done previously with other housing. Thank you.

829
01:04:04,070 --> 01:04:05,110
Everyone on

830
01:04:31,700 --> 01:04:35,180
my hand is everyone around to go for some of you might know me as many as

831
01:04:35,180 --> 01:04:35,440
upon.

832
01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:38,980
I am as far as the many differences very well.

833
01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:42,320
I was in the 16th and within the three years.

834
01:04:43,500 --> 01:04:44,340
I worked with them.

835
01:04:44,860 --> 01:04:45,900
I lived with them.

836
01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:48,020
They were redeveloped.

837
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:50,260
I'm going to talk about the project.

838
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:52,060
It isn't really a benefit.

839
01:04:52,660 --> 01:04:54,120
It's for the safety of citizens.

840
01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:57,720
We use more seems housing here.

841
01:04:57,720 --> 01:05:07,680
I live and see happen. We have already less. One and a half two years. The milk has a way to dress.

842
01:05:10,060 --> 01:05:19,080
See the house. They need a place to be safe. A place where they can afford to pay for it.

843
01:05:20,240 --> 01:05:23,680
When you need it, it also will be the senior.

844
01:05:24,860 --> 01:05:25,740
And are you going to help?

845
01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:30,760
I hope that this project has helped remove.

846
01:05:31,980 --> 01:05:33,740
You see the need for it.

847
01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:38,420
And you talk about having, you know, about the far from it,

848
01:05:38,540 --> 01:05:40,380
I'm talking about places.

849
01:05:41,060 --> 01:05:43,120
They seniors do not provide.

850
01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:45,760
So you're not going to have to track it.

851
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:50,720
Well, this end is very important.

852
01:05:50,720 --> 01:05:54,100
As I can say, he will continue to develop.

853
01:05:54,860 --> 01:05:57,680
I've been learning and seeing how to do the time in years.

854
01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:02,340
And it was wonderful, and it's been a wonderful experience.

855
01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:09,080
This is a place he's been talking to you about,

856
01:06:09,080 --> 01:06:10,500
you know, the fire.

857
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:15,080
I have the ability on this three boards.

858
01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:19,180
We have never had a fire in the bottom pole.

859
01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:24,560
The house on small and rainy is three floors.

860
01:06:27,050 --> 01:06:29,810
The house, I believe, is a stump house.

861
01:06:30,550 --> 01:06:33,270
So that house is very safe.

862
01:06:34,010 --> 01:06:36,810
The house is at the central building.

863
01:06:37,210 --> 01:06:38,490
We'll be safely.

864
01:06:39,330 --> 01:06:41,610
Find all the fire poles.

865
01:06:43,710 --> 01:06:46,150
Don't reject this project.

866
01:06:46,150 --> 01:06:49,170
It is very important, and then it's needed.

867
01:06:50,430 --> 01:06:53,870
And again, one day you will need to see them housing.

868
01:06:55,310 --> 01:06:58,030
And they need to study any more and more.

869
01:06:58,910 --> 01:07:00,750
Where are you going to go?

870
01:07:02,950 --> 01:07:03,470
Thank you.

871
01:07:04,510 --> 01:07:05,290
Thank you.

872
01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:09,860
Sister Nancy.

873
01:07:30,850 --> 01:07:32,070
Good evening.

874
01:07:32,290 --> 01:07:37,070
Thank you very much for allowing us to have this opportunity to come to you again tonight.

875
01:07:38,150 --> 01:07:46,230
Many of our school kids have spoken in a way that there have been some valid points

876
01:07:46,230 --> 01:07:50,370
for them by both sides, and I think it's great that everyone has a chance to bring them

877
01:07:50,370 --> 01:07:50,570
up.

878
01:07:51,350 --> 01:07:58,670
But I do want to say that some of what has been said has been said in the realm of we know

879
01:07:58,670 --> 01:08:04,950
the system very well, and this is what they're doing, it's not transparent, it's not this.

880
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:12,620
the one thing is the making systems of Spark Hill are about is vision.

881
01:08:13,820 --> 01:08:15,280
That has never changed.

882
01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:23,260
Since 1876, we've found it to have widows and orphans on the streets of New York City.

883
01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:26,520
That has been our mission.

884
01:08:27,860 --> 01:08:34,960
How we use our resources to benefit of those who are less fortunate than we are or are in need.

885
01:08:38,650 --> 01:08:44,910
One of the things that was brought up tonight was for village, and I just like to say that

886
01:08:44,910 --> 01:08:53,350
yes, for village is unhousing, but it has always been unhousing, it never changed.

887
01:08:54,410 --> 01:09:00,310
And because it's so important to our mission, the land that that housing stands for was

888
01:09:00,310 --> 01:09:08,090
story by us, there was no profit involved. Another housing unit that we had, we could

889
01:09:08,090 --> 01:09:16,210
no longer care for both for residents. We were asked at the time that another time

890
01:09:16,210 --> 01:09:21,550
probably was taking over, okay, sisters, what do you need for this? We said nothing.

891
01:09:22,430 --> 01:09:29,350
We want the mission to continue. So for us, this is not about profit. It's not about

892
01:09:29,350 --> 01:09:41,090
Again, someone said, it's not about our own personal needs, I'm a little shocked that I'm a baby boomer, and I need a place to some time to put my head.

893
01:09:42,170 --> 01:09:49,090
But the thing is, it's always about wishing for us, and it always will be.

894
01:09:49,710 --> 01:09:55,650
You know, which way things go, that probably will hopefully be able to use the commission.

895
01:09:56,330 --> 01:09:56,630
Thank you.

896
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:04,240
So

897
01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:20,540
my name is Diane as well, I'm here because I'm here about affordable housing.

898
01:10:22,460 --> 01:10:27,680
Was mentioned today that somebody said, oh, well, these units aren't even ready affordable

899
01:10:27,680 --> 01:10:33,860
but as Matthew Westwood said, they're going by the state and local guidelines.

900
01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:41,080
Affordable does not mean poor people, some people would be very amazed at the income level

901
01:10:41,080 --> 01:10:45,620
that is still considered proper form of housing.

902
01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:49,180
It's not for poor people, it's not for low income people,

903
01:10:49,620 --> 01:10:53,180
but we need this kind of housing for the people

904
01:10:53,180 --> 01:10:53,740
and the sorrows.

905
01:10:54,440 --> 01:10:57,520
Everybody agrees that it is about where it goes

906
01:10:57,520 --> 01:10:59,100
and who's managing it.

907
01:11:00,380 --> 01:11:05,240
Somebody said that we were being juped

908
01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:07,780
and that the Dominican sisters were going to,

909
01:11:07,800 --> 01:11:10,180
this was going to likely be managed by somebody else

910
01:11:10,180 --> 01:11:11,820
and it wasn't going to be mission-driven.

911
01:11:12,460 --> 01:11:13,940
I see no evidence of that.

912
01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:17,500
And I did go onto the website of Crow America,

913
01:11:17,500 --> 01:11:19,720
which is the natural profit organization

914
01:11:19,720 --> 01:11:21,880
that the systems have partnered with.

915
01:11:22,420 --> 01:11:25,660
And their mission also is improving communities

916
01:11:27,060 --> 01:11:29,900
as a system mission of the African sisters.

917
01:11:32,120 --> 01:11:33,220
That's all I have to say.

918
01:11:33,340 --> 01:11:33,600
Thank you.

919
01:11:34,240 --> 01:11:34,620
Thank you.

920
01:11:35,500 --> 01:11:36,060
Thank you.

921
01:11:37,410 --> 01:11:38,390
Stand working.

922
01:11:43,260 --> 01:11:43,960
Thank you, Mr. Dan.

923
01:11:51,150 --> 01:11:51,570
You're welcome.

924
01:12:07,930 --> 01:12:08,950
I'm so sorry.

925
01:12:12,010 --> 01:12:12,350
Thank you.

926
01:12:12,470 --> 01:12:14,110
Yes, come on.

927
01:12:14,110 --> 01:12:14,370
Very.

928
01:12:15,250 --> 01:12:15,410
Mr.

929
01:12:15,550 --> 01:12:18,250
He's an active volunteer.

930
01:12:18,490 --> 01:12:22,650
He has an obligation with the fire department to see.

931
01:12:22,790 --> 01:12:23,890
So he had to leave early.

932
01:12:24,430 --> 01:12:25,130
He apologizes.

933
01:12:25,650 --> 01:12:26,390
He needs no disrespect.

934
01:12:26,650 --> 01:12:26,930
I should.

935
01:12:27,310 --> 01:12:27,990
So, Mr.

936
01:12:27,990 --> 01:12:28,890
Thank you. Come on.

937
01:12:29,650 --> 01:12:30,390
Thank you.

938
01:12:30,950 --> 01:12:31,970
Oh, okay.

939
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:41,480
Yeah. All right.

940
01:12:41,840 --> 01:12:43,240
You pass as well. Okay.

941
01:12:44,100 --> 01:12:45,220
Louise Friedman.

942
01:12:46,580 --> 01:12:48,480
I stood side of the wrong sheet.

943
01:12:49,320 --> 01:12:51,940
I thought I was so I'd I'd have signs to speak.

944
01:12:52,260 --> 01:12:52,420
Okay.

945
01:12:55,050 --> 01:12:55,870
Susan Ronaldo.

946
01:13:04,030 --> 01:13:08,610
I initially said that I'm going to speak because I'm very good track record.

947
01:13:08,610 --> 01:13:11,710
with the zoning board or with the town board,

948
01:13:12,010 --> 01:13:17,250
they regards to new businesses in their homes.

949
01:13:17,570 --> 01:13:21,970
But I live on the road that smells parallel to smuggling lane.

950
01:13:22,350 --> 01:13:24,270
When I walk down the smuggling lane,

951
01:13:24,530 --> 01:13:26,710
it's a beautiful quiet place.

952
01:13:27,470 --> 01:13:30,050
The residents from very, very, very upset.

953
01:13:30,530 --> 01:13:31,810
I just spoke to many of them.

954
01:13:32,730 --> 01:13:36,290
My main concern is if you change the zoning laws,

955
01:13:36,290 --> 01:13:45,390
We don't need so many laws in the first place that they were just going to change that, and I think that we need to be very careful that nobody else feels on the rest of the property.

956
01:13:46,030 --> 01:13:54,370
Basically, thank what the residents are saying is they're going to build this, build it in a much smaller scale than what you think.

957
01:13:54,370 --> 01:13:54,810
Thank you.

958
01:13:55,590 --> 01:13:55,930
Thank you.

959
01:14:20,100 --> 01:14:24,920
But as you can see, I would like to thank you so much.

960
01:14:25,240 --> 01:14:26,520
It's our part here.

961
01:14:27,080 --> 01:14:27,280
Okay.

962
01:14:28,380 --> 01:14:29,700
This is still too bad.

963
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:31,760
So many of you say, great water.

964
01:14:32,340 --> 01:14:34,920
I have now to use filter water.

965
01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:39,300
And I can see even if I need to take care of my house.

966
01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:41,540
You look at a ranch.

967
01:14:41,720 --> 01:14:43,640
We have three bathrooms.

968
01:14:45,380 --> 01:14:48,300
and the use of yellow, you know, just watch.

969
01:14:48,700 --> 01:14:50,500
One of the bathrooms, you don't want to leave.

970
01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:53,560
Now every other day, or every third day,

971
01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:55,060
I have to do all those toilets.

972
01:14:56,420 --> 01:14:59,780
Somewhere on one corner, so the people building.

973
01:15:00,500 --> 01:15:22,620
The water has been affected. I recently ordered a thing to put my refrigerator so that that so that we can drink just, um, filter water. So, some things happen, which so much building. And I just wanted to know that. Thank you. Thank you.

974
01:15:22,620 --> 01:15:23,640
looks

975
01:15:31,700 --> 01:15:32,880
like a G.

976
01:15:43,250 --> 01:15:44,550
It's a T.

977
01:15:47,200 --> 01:15:48,980
Lives on 47's.

978
01:15:49,060 --> 01:15:49,540
Falling lane.

979
01:15:53,610 --> 01:15:55,350
Maybe first initial T.

980
01:16:00,030 --> 01:16:00,770
I'm here.

981
01:16:07,250 --> 01:16:07,390
Okay.

982
01:16:08,590 --> 01:16:09,190
Very.

983
01:16:13,310 --> 01:16:13,910
We'll.

984
01:16:14,170 --> 01:16:16,530
We'll stick to the order and then we'll come back.

985
01:16:18,150 --> 01:16:20,770
There's a gentleman on line who signed up to speed.

986
01:16:22,110 --> 01:16:22,710
Jeffrey.

987
01:16:28,490 --> 01:16:31,070
Yes, I can hear you. Can everyone hear me?

988
01:16:31,750 --> 01:16:37,190
Thank you very much. Thank you, Supervisor Costello and members of the town board.

989
01:16:37,830 --> 01:16:39,370
Thanks for this opportunity to speak.

990
01:16:40,170 --> 01:16:50,610
First, I would like to preface our remarks by saying that we seen the cuts and has had a lot of dealings with the Dominican sisters over several years.

991
01:16:50,610 --> 01:16:56,570
and we find them to be of the highest integrity, and we would have no question about their

992
01:16:57,170 --> 01:17:02,570
motives for trying to develop this property. They're good stewards of the land there,

993
01:17:03,230 --> 01:17:07,050
and the scene that cuts and appreciates all the interactions we've had over the years.

994
01:17:08,250 --> 01:17:15,290
We submitted comments back in December 6, 2022, and we appreciate that the applicant has taken

995
01:17:15,290 --> 01:17:18,730
in several steps intended to address those concerns.

996
01:17:19,070 --> 01:17:21,210
They've moved the southernmost buildings,

997
01:17:21,590 --> 01:17:23,610
three and four about 30 feet to the north

998
01:17:24,030 --> 01:17:25,750
so that they're a little bit farther away

999
01:17:25,750 --> 01:17:28,290
from the falling waters preserve, which we own.

1000
01:17:29,090 --> 01:17:32,070
Also, they moved the dumpsters 20 feet from the property line

1001
01:17:32,070 --> 01:17:34,010
and provided some screening with an eight foot fence

1002
01:17:34,010 --> 01:17:34,950
and plantings.

1003
01:17:35,510 --> 01:17:38,070
They're committing to dark sky lighting or equivalent

1004
01:17:38,950 --> 01:17:43,490
to keep the site looking as dark as possible

1005
01:17:43,490 --> 01:17:48,990
when viewed from offsite in the evening and they've agreed to produce a sign with the hours

1006
01:17:48,990 --> 01:17:55,330
of our preserve and park rules and post it where their trail enters our preserve so that the

1007
01:17:55,330 --> 01:18:02,430
residents of this site will understand how to responsibly use the preserve. We want to also

1008
01:18:02,430 --> 01:18:08,970
go to paraphrase what I've submitted formally in writing. We're very much interested in protection

1009
01:18:08,970 --> 01:18:16,070
of scenic resources, particularly views from into scenic areas of statewide significance

1010
01:18:16,070 --> 01:18:21,830
and national historic landmarks, and this project is within the Ulster North scenic area

1011
01:18:21,830 --> 01:18:27,990
of statewide significance on the slopes of the Hudson River, and it's predominantly visible

1012
01:18:27,990 --> 01:18:31,930
from the Hudson River National Historic landmark across the river.

1013
01:18:31,930 --> 01:18:35,230
We only received the visual simulations yesterday.

1014
01:18:35,990 --> 01:18:45,310
In fact, we have not been notified of this public hearing, nor the public hearing on September 6th, and I'll get to that a little bit later.

1015
01:18:46,410 --> 01:19:01,010
So we just received the simulations, our initial review finds we were surprised that the buildings, the northern most buildings were so visible from Tivoli landing, which is a public park within the National Historic Landmark District.

1016
01:19:01,010 --> 01:19:05,650
We were always under the impression that these buildings would be screened by existing trees.

1017
01:19:06,570 --> 01:19:13,830
And the simulations also show that the proposed buildings are substantially larger than the existing structure

1018
01:19:13,830 --> 01:19:15,590
that's proposed for demolition.

1019
01:19:16,170 --> 01:19:21,210
Given the potential for adverse visual impact on the National Historic Landmark,

1020
01:19:21,650 --> 01:19:24,410
and the projects need for US Army Corps of Engineers permit,

1021
01:19:24,950 --> 01:19:30,370
a review will be required under the provisions of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act

1022
01:19:30,370 --> 01:19:37,930
of 1966. During this review with the National Park Service Determines that the visual impact

1023
01:19:37,930 --> 01:19:44,090
would be constitute a direct effect on the National Historic Landmark, then Section 110F

1024
01:19:44,090 --> 01:19:52,290
would need to be complied with, and that requires a more stringent look at how the impact

1025
01:19:52,290 --> 01:19:59,510
would be avoided or mitigated, and those details will be in our letter. In the statement that

1026
01:19:59,510 --> 01:20:01,110
we've already emailed to the supervisor.

1027
01:20:01,590 --> 01:20:04,310
We also recommend that if it is not already done so,

1028
01:20:04,530 --> 01:20:08,650
the village, the town and or applicants should

1029
01:20:08,650 --> 01:20:11,170
apprise the village of Tivoli across the river

1030
01:20:11,170 --> 01:20:13,350
so that they're aware of this rezoning petition

1031
01:20:13,350 --> 01:20:15,730
and so that they can participate in the review.

1032
01:20:16,450 --> 01:20:19,150
As I mentioned previously, we did not receive public notice

1033
01:20:19,150 --> 01:20:20,050
of this public hearing.

1034
01:20:20,450 --> 01:20:22,770
As a result, our staff hasn't had an opportunity

1035
01:20:22,770 --> 01:20:26,590
to really give this the application a thorough review.

1036
01:20:26,590 --> 01:20:31,990
given that we respectfully ask that with the upcoming holidays, the town board

1037
01:20:31,990 --> 01:20:36,990
keep this public hearing open another 60 days so that we can give this review

1038
01:20:36,990 --> 01:20:43,050
that it deserves. Just to conclude, we're well aware of Ulster County's pressing

1039
01:20:43,050 --> 01:20:47,850
need for affordable housing. In fact, senior housing, I see the cuts and deems this

1040
01:20:47,850 --> 01:20:52,650
critical need in the Hudson Valley and Ulster County. We applaud the

1041
01:20:52,650 --> 01:20:54,610
sisters for working to address that need.

1042
01:20:55,250 --> 01:21:00,730
That said, the project site is constrained by several things, federal wetlands, a floodplain

1043
01:21:00,730 --> 01:21:01,570
steep slopes.

1044
01:21:02,110 --> 01:21:06,810
These all limit the suitable areas for building, the sites between the end of a cul-de-sac with

1045
01:21:06,810 --> 01:21:10,550
an established neighbor of single-family homes and falling waters preserved.

1046
01:21:11,130 --> 01:21:15,790
And finally, to reiterate, being that the site is in the Ulster North, scenic area of statewide

1047
01:21:15,790 --> 01:21:20,130
significance and directly opposite the Hudson River National Historic Landmark district,

1048
01:21:20,130 --> 01:21:23,690
these reviews are required. That's it.

1049
01:21:25,810 --> 01:21:28,290
I'm good here. You'll get my comments. Thank you

1050
01:21:28,290 --> 01:21:36,030
very much. Notice that I got an email from you as we move her up. Oh, excuse me. They

1051
01:21:36,030 --> 01:21:38,970
add that to direct. Thank you. I'll go on mute now.

1052
01:21:41,570 --> 01:21:44,190
Okay. Margot is satch.

1053
01:21:56,080 --> 01:21:57,080
Good evening, everyone.

1054
01:21:58,740 --> 01:22:02,460
I'm delighted to be in so many, I love so many, it's very much.

1055
01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:05,060
I am a Dominican sister of Spark Film.

1056
01:22:05,700 --> 01:22:08,580
I was the administrator of the phone lawyers,

1057
01:22:09,440 --> 01:22:14,020
St Joseph's four years, and I know some of you well from that.

1058
01:22:14,780 --> 01:22:19,780
And it was a privilege and an honor to be able to be on this land,

1059
01:22:20,460 --> 01:22:21,300
this peaceful place.

1060
01:22:21,820 --> 01:22:24,280
But I also, in my later life,

1061
01:22:24,280 --> 01:22:31,260
managed senior housing. And I have to say for 21 years, after leaving here, I went and

1062
01:22:31,260 --> 01:22:35,840
managed a housing project of the Dominican Sisters called Bell and Gardens.

1063
01:22:37,260 --> 01:22:42,520
Bell and Gardens is for enriched living for seniors. It's affordable housing.

1064
01:22:43,180 --> 01:22:51,540
44% of the housing at the apartments in downtown are below market for Rockland County.

1065
01:22:52,340 --> 01:22:58,820
And it's a love and place, but the thing I want to tell you about is the gratitude you've

1066
01:22:58,820 --> 01:23:04,460
given on the mansion, how grateful families are, and the young mothers, mostly mothers,

1067
01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:06,040
have a place to be.

1068
01:23:06,720 --> 01:23:12,600
And then the mothers are so grateful, too, because they have one another, it's one to be

1069
01:23:12,600 --> 01:23:12,960
home.

1070
01:23:13,300 --> 01:23:20,200
I can remember Angel Love, I can remember her saying to people, you don't want to be living

1071
01:23:20,200 --> 01:23:26,220
be with your daughter. You don't want to be having those kids around this way. You can be yourself

1072
01:23:26,220 --> 01:23:31,920
and you can live the life you want. I just want to let you know that it really is a wonderful

1073
01:23:31,920 --> 01:23:38,420
opportunity to now see your house make a new name. Well, but then for our spouse, come and voice

1074
01:23:38,420 --> 01:23:45,220
doubts come and everybody, it just come to cut and it's a wonderful food and I do want you to consider it

1075
01:23:45,220 --> 01:23:48,540
thank you.

1076
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:56,060
Thank you sister Jeanne Shad.

1077
01:24:06,740 --> 01:24:09,500
Thank you now.

1078
01:24:10,380 --> 01:24:13,620
My name is sister Jeanne Shad and I'm one of the

1079
01:24:13,620 --> 01:24:19,260
Dominican sisters I was here on September 6th and I'd like to

1080
01:24:19,260 --> 01:24:24,480
at that time I reiterated how I enjoyed bringing the people

1081
01:24:24,480 --> 01:24:26,920
here to enjoy the property of the same Joseph.

1082
01:24:26,920 --> 01:24:33,000
and this project respects the natural open surroundings.

1083
01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:36,180
While we are here applying for high density zoning chain,

1084
01:24:36,400 --> 01:24:38,980
we're only building and having people I understand

1085
01:24:38,980 --> 01:24:40,600
on 4% of the property.

1086
01:24:41,640 --> 01:24:45,040
In fact, the 122 number of proposed residents

1087
01:24:45,040 --> 01:24:48,840
is not that much higher than the number of vacationers

1088
01:24:48,840 --> 01:24:52,740
or retreatants from way back in the olden days before I started to come.

1089
01:24:53,200 --> 01:24:55,780
There was great numbers of sisters that would come up ahead.

1090
01:24:55,780 --> 01:25:09,120
At the last meeting, I spoke about the importance of senior housing based on my own mother's experience at Dallard Gardens in Swarmville and have this proposed a project in very much line with our mission and legacy.

1091
01:25:10,140 --> 01:25:16,260
Dallard is situated right next to our property at Dominican County.

1092
01:25:16,560 --> 01:25:23,120
We are the neighbors in this case, as well as Thor Village, which has been in our position.

1093
01:25:24,980 --> 01:25:40,460
We are the neighbors on one side and there are neighbors like you because it's on the other side and for 40 years we have lived in a mutually beneficial peaceful coexistence.

1094
01:25:40,920 --> 01:25:49,740
We get along fine. There are no incidents complaints or negative feedback and sometimes someone's family is able to move in.

1095
01:25:49,740 --> 01:25:51,420
It's still all just worked.

1096
01:25:51,840 --> 01:25:56,260
The residents and their families have helped the local economy.

1097
01:25:57,160 --> 01:25:58,360
So it's a win-win.

1098
01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:00,200
Thank you very much for your consideration.

1099
01:26:01,020 --> 01:26:01,460
Thank you.

1100
01:26:05,480 --> 01:26:08,040
That is also a list of the folks you've signed up to,

1101
01:26:08,620 --> 01:26:09,360
the draft support.

1102
01:26:10,480 --> 01:26:12,640
Has anyone who has not had the opportunity to speak

1103
01:26:12,640 --> 01:26:15,540
would like to, I know there's someone

1104
01:26:16,120 --> 01:26:18,140
who has submitted it down, which is...

1105
01:26:18,140 --> 01:26:21,580
Has to remind me that my hands are very slow.

1106
01:26:22,480 --> 01:26:23,020
Okay.

1107
01:26:23,780 --> 01:26:25,140
It's part of it.

1108
01:26:27,540 --> 01:26:28,880
It's great about it.

1109
01:26:30,910 --> 01:26:31,870
So should we get extra mana?

1110
01:26:31,930 --> 01:26:32,930
I live in the other house,

1111
01:26:33,070 --> 01:26:34,630
faculty understand at the end of the street,

1112
01:26:34,810 --> 01:26:37,830
which is about 8 feet off the side

1113
01:26:37,830 --> 01:26:39,150
of their current driveway.

1114
01:26:40,230 --> 01:26:41,230
When that expands,

1115
01:26:41,670 --> 01:26:42,830
that's going to be difficult,

1116
01:26:43,110 --> 01:26:45,090
as far as traffic moving in and out.

1117
01:26:46,110 --> 01:26:48,190
But the point that I want to make is

1118
01:26:48,190 --> 01:26:49,910
up back to the resources

1119
01:26:49,910 --> 01:26:52,230
of the emergency services

1120
01:26:52,230 --> 01:26:53,850
the laser house.

1121
01:26:54,570 --> 01:27:03,370
I know it was hard getting records from EMT to people as far as how many balls they got down there, but

1122
01:27:03,370 --> 01:27:08,910
discussing with management going over their records, they get four to five emergency to the hospital

1123
01:27:08,910 --> 01:27:17,370
calls every month for only eight residents. And those residents at times have had to sit down in that

1124
01:27:17,370 --> 01:27:22,270
hospital for about 11 hours before anybody can pick them up to bring them back home again.

1125
01:27:22,270 --> 01:27:29,550
We're only talking eight residents, the emergencies, and I'm not talking fire trucks or police

1126
01:27:29,550 --> 01:27:30,690
they go down there as well.

1127
01:27:31,190 --> 01:27:32,230
This is just yes.

1128
01:27:33,250 --> 01:27:39,970
So if you add another now 300 people, or however many are going to occupy these 1202 apartments

1129
01:27:39,970 --> 01:27:45,810
to see your people, we're really tapping our sources of emergency care.

1130
01:27:46,410 --> 01:27:51,490
We don't have people entering the field for fire trucks and development fire departments

1131
01:27:51,490 --> 01:27:59,570
emergency services. This is critical. This is a really bad scene and we've seen cars

1132
01:27:59,570 --> 01:28:05,390
from flying out of there at such speed at times and they're vans for emergency reasons

1133
01:28:05,390 --> 01:28:10,850
or whatever. There's traffic coming up from the Dominicans there where there is nothing

1134
01:28:10,850 --> 01:28:16,070
at this point. We're going to have major head-on collisions, not only on our corner, on

1135
01:28:16,730 --> 01:28:22,050
right there at the gate, but out on my W as well, trying to get out of this traffic to go

1136
01:28:22,050 --> 01:28:28,530
Kingston away. The turning is impossible on that road on a weekend. You have holidays,

1137
01:28:28,750 --> 01:28:33,710
you have summers, you can't get out of that street. Now you've got senior housing and then

1138
01:28:33,710 --> 01:28:39,970
all the trucks and facilities that are going to come into this for all of us, for abuse to

1139
01:28:39,970 --> 01:28:44,910
describing on this road. So making this lumpy on turns is going to be fatal. If little children

1140
01:28:44,910 --> 01:28:48,790
that live right on that corner that are playing out in that throat all time.

1141
01:28:49,390 --> 01:28:54,550
There's going to be fatalities and blood on people's hands because these people fly up

1142
01:28:54,550 --> 01:29:00,370
and down these roads, they don't consider traffic speeds, even coming out of the dragway

1143
01:29:00,370 --> 01:29:01,230
from the Lashar House.

1144
01:29:01,470 --> 01:29:02,370
I've had to beg them.

1145
01:29:02,550 --> 01:29:03,650
Please, this isn't the through it.

1146
01:29:03,790 --> 01:29:04,790
Please go slow.

1147
01:29:05,470 --> 01:29:07,250
Same thing for Dominic in some time.

1148
01:29:07,490 --> 01:29:14,890
They can fly it up out of that throat, and it's only going to get worse as long as this

1149
01:29:14,890 --> 01:29:16,610
Oh, you can play that.

1150
01:29:16,910 --> 01:29:19,470
Folks, we're doing great.

1151
01:29:20,110 --> 01:29:23,670
And most importantly, please show a seat courage to every speaker.

1152
01:29:24,950 --> 01:29:39,070
The point is, I have Peter, because someone coming up from their drive several years ago, skipped the road and came right between our gate and our house and ran over our stone wall and busted the whole top off.

1153
01:29:39,810 --> 01:29:45,230
We're that close to the edge of that driveway and I'm here for a building that I'm historically

1154
01:29:45,230 --> 01:29:47,370
preserving right now that's going to be registered.

1155
01:29:49,090 --> 01:29:49,810
Thank you.

1156
01:29:49,830 --> 01:29:50,310
Thank you.

1157
01:29:55,770 --> 01:29:59,030
But is there anyone else who has not spoken yet would like to speak?

1158
01:30:00,080 --> 01:30:00,620
Excuse

1159
01:30:03,760 --> 01:30:06,020
me, can you please say your name?

1160
01:30:08,540 --> 01:30:29,800
I have a question for those of you against. What have you got against vote?

1161
01:30:30,420 --> 01:30:32,080
We are for our lives.

1162
01:30:32,380 --> 01:30:33,920
We are for our lives.

1163
01:30:34,320 --> 01:30:34,540
We are for our lives.

1164
01:30:34,540 --> 01:30:34,640
We are for our lives.

1165
01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:36,100
Thanks for having us.

1166
01:30:36,600 --> 01:30:36,600
Dr.

1167
01:30:39,590 --> 01:30:40,150
Matthew Lloyd.

1168
01:30:41,330 --> 01:30:45,380
We're going to have Candos built.

1169
01:30:46,740 --> 01:30:48,040
The luxury Candos built there,

1170
01:30:48,160 --> 01:30:49,780
which is very well could happen.

1171
01:30:50,860 --> 01:30:52,220
And I agree there may be more,

1172
01:30:52,480 --> 01:30:53,640
much more traffic.

1173
01:30:54,020 --> 01:30:54,880
Well, it's being built.

1174
01:30:55,160 --> 01:30:57,160
But if you notice what's going on

1175
01:30:57,160 --> 01:31:01,700
the rest of it.

1176
01:31:01,700 --> 01:31:06,780
like we've had the apartments, they started in the spring, and they're living in them now.

1177
01:31:08,040 --> 01:31:14,000
And let's get north to you. It's just incredible how fast it goes. I don't think there's going

1178
01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:22,460
to be a lot more traffic once it's done as they were talking. Thank you very much.

1179
01:31:27,720 --> 01:31:36,140
We have Joseph, the list of folks who signed up, this is the last time we're going to ask,

1180
01:31:38,080 --> 01:31:42,220
I've got a quick question, was there notifications to

1181
01:31:45,510 --> 01:31:46,770
the

1182
01:31:50,160 --> 01:31:58,240
public of this hearing?

1183
01:31:59,980 --> 01:32:03,900
500 feet at the end or?

1184
01:32:03,900 --> 01:32:07,680
No, they're here at the public meeting.

1185
01:32:08,140 --> 01:32:10,880
They were said, everybody would invite

1186
01:32:10,880 --> 01:32:13,300
what it would bring, which is supposed to get publicly

1187
01:32:13,300 --> 01:32:15,480
notified of the public hearing.

1188
01:32:16,920 --> 01:32:18,260
Nobody would notify me.

1189
01:32:18,680 --> 01:32:21,740
So forward, we are contemplating, it's none.

1190
01:32:22,380 --> 01:32:23,240
It's the only cheat.

1191
01:32:24,020 --> 01:32:25,520
The rules that are strictly going on,

1192
01:32:25,580 --> 01:32:26,760
there's only cheat that are different

1193
01:32:27,340 --> 01:32:29,880
than the rules that will restrict savings.

1194
01:32:30,880 --> 01:32:38,100
If a project like this was proposed, and they were seeking approvals from the planning board for site plan use,

1195
01:32:38,660 --> 01:32:43,200
they would be obligated to notify the neighbors by certified mail, but if I were to receive it.

1196
01:32:43,520 --> 01:32:46,600
For this process, that is not an open order. Why nobody?

1197
01:32:47,040 --> 01:32:51,900
We know we do notify. We notify everyone in the same manner to be notified.

1198
01:32:55,160 --> 01:32:57,400
and we did that consistently without

1199
01:32:57,400 --> 01:32:59,640
done it in years past intentionally.

1200
01:32:59,880 --> 01:33:06,200
It'll want you to apply any effort other than that.

1201
01:33:06,700 --> 01:33:07,220
Okay.

1202
01:33:07,960 --> 01:33:08,340
Thank you.

1203
01:33:10,380 --> 01:33:10,920
Okay.

1204
01:33:11,200 --> 01:33:15,200
Anyone else who has not spoken, please say to me when you get some microphone.

1205
01:33:23,470 --> 01:33:29,430
The Lord is in our shape for it, and I am fully opposed to the news online, and I'm

1206
01:33:29,430 --> 01:33:35,390
And I'm really kind of sad that I almost feel like we have a lack of respect as neighbors.

1207
01:33:37,430 --> 01:33:39,290
It's like everything is for it.

1208
01:33:39,390 --> 01:33:45,610
All of us on that lane works very hard to live in that quiet place.

1209
01:33:46,730 --> 01:33:53,010
And I think it's crap that we feel like we're just being pushed under the road for this to go through.

1210
01:33:53,010 --> 01:34:00,270
Yes, we do need a Florida health procedure. Most of us are seniors. But come on, you know,

1211
01:34:00,570 --> 01:34:07,850
it's like there's so much developing going on in bark and bites. Really, do we need it here?

1212
01:34:09,170 --> 01:34:16,390
We just work so hard for where we live and our whole to be destroyed by this.

1213
01:34:16,390 --> 01:34:17,370
Thank you.

1214
01:34:25,800 --> 01:34:28,920
Anyone else says not, had the opportunity to direct support, do it like you.

1215
01:34:32,070 --> 01:34:35,930
I know, Mr. Chandler, I'm going to do a comment, Mr. Chandler, I have a question, are your comments

1216
01:34:35,930 --> 01:34:36,330
written?

1217
01:34:37,490 --> 01:34:37,710
Okay.

1218
01:34:38,350 --> 01:34:38,710
Perfect.

1219
01:34:40,410 --> 01:34:40,650
Okay.

1220
01:34:41,130 --> 01:34:44,570
Unless someone else in the room wanted to direct support, you guys not be out of the opportunity,

1221
01:34:45,070 --> 01:34:46,830
I think we're going to close the public hearing this evening.

1222
01:34:47,630 --> 01:34:48,130
Is there a agreement?

1223
01:34:48,470 --> 01:34:48,530
Is there a agreement?

1224
01:34:48,530 --> 01:34:50,230
I'm going to make the motion discussion.

1225
01:34:51,030 --> 01:34:53,250
Is there a agreement on the most support that we're close to this evening?

1226
01:34:54,690 --> 01:34:55,910
Does anyone want to make a comment?

1227
01:34:55,910 --> 01:34:59,440
before we do that. Okay.

1228
01:35:03,200 --> 01:35:12,220
I'm sorry. This is the board now. Okay. We did not speak out

1229
01:35:12,220 --> 01:35:20,760
less. Okay. Okay. There's been a motion meeting. All the favors say aye. Any pose motion

1230
01:35:20,760 --> 01:35:22,520
both of your detects. I

1231
01:35:25,360 --> 01:35:27,840
want to thank everyone too for looking for our very

1232
01:35:27,840 --> 01:35:30,700
very cordial and we appreciate that, thanks.
