I'd like to start by highlighting what I believe is working well and then offer a few concerns for your consideration. 141 00:10:09,340 --> 00:10:19,560 First, I'm pleased to see the provision that allows crossing a short distance to travel on 35-mile-hour roads in order to connect to another 25-mile-hour roadway. 142 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:29,320 That is a practical and reasonable solution. Without it, many residents would be unable to reach downtown, get fuel for their vehicles or even travel to the police station for the inspections. 143 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,340 The vehicles would essentially be trapped within their neighborhoods. 144 00:10:32,940 --> 00:10:37,300 To put that in perspective, a half-mile stretch on a 35-minute road, traveled out of 145 00:10:37,300 --> 00:10:41,940 vehicles, maximum speed of 25 miles an hour, takes approximately 72 seconds. 146 00:10:42,460 --> 00:10:45,320 That is significantly less than a red light in the state of Ohio. 147 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,740 That is the amount of exposure we are really here discussing. 148 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,540 I would like to encourage Council to keep the exception in the final ordinance. 149 00:10:53,540 --> 00:11:01,880 My primary concern is the broader prohibition on operating these vehicles on 35-mile and our roads all together. 150 00:11:02,540 --> 00:11:05,540 These vehicles have been legally operating in our community for years. 151 00:11:05,860 --> 00:11:10,220 During that time, there have been no reported accidents, no injuries and no formal complaints. 152 00:11:10,660 --> 00:11:13,900 These are state-licensed vehicles that are inspected by the Police Department, 153 00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:19,200 and even in prior meetings that you've described this proposal as a precautionary measure 154 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,960 rather than a response to any incidents that have occurred. 155 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:27,140 Given that history, I would encourage Council to focus on what really improved safety, requiring 156 00:11:27,140 --> 00:11:31,700 proper equipment such as headlights, tail lights, turn signals, license plate illumination, 157 00:11:31,980 --> 00:11:36,340 seat belts, and other visibility and safety features, rather than reshricting where these 158 00:11:36,340 --> 00:11:41,780 vehicles may travel. I also have concerns about the proposed sunset restriction. If these vehicles 159 00:11:41,780 --> 00:11:46,720 are limited to 25-mile-hour roads and required to carry a full package of safety equipment, 160 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:53,000 I struggle to see the justification from prohibiting them from operating on neighborhood streets after dark. 161 00:11:53,380 --> 00:12:00,720 A license and properly equipped low-speed vehicle with headlights, tail lights, and turn signals is often more visible than a pedestrian or bicyclist. 162 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,760 Yeah, we routinely allow walking and biking at night through the community. 163 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:14,680 If we trust residents to walk and bike safely after dark, I believe that we should extend the same trust to properly equipped and legally operated low-speed vehicles. 164 00:12:14,680 --> 00:12:18,520 Finally, I would ask Council to not treat this issue as an emergency. 165 00:12:19,220 --> 00:12:23,440 The record before us shows no accidents, no injuries, and no complaints involving these 166 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:23,900 vehicles. 167 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,980 That simply does not suggest an urgent public safety crisis. 168 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:33,360 In fact, we have seen more real-world concerns involving bicycles and e-bikes, including recent 169 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,520 accidents that have generated actual complaints. 170 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:42,160 As a community, we rely largely on parents and individuals to make responsible decisions regarding 171 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,020 those activities. 172 00:12:43,020 --> 00:12:49,520 Likewise, Ohio does not require motorcycle riders to wear helmet, despite the significantly greater risks involved. 173 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:54,320 My not-point is not to make those issues that they should be regulated more heavily. 174 00:12:54,780 --> 00:12:59,660 Hevelate, rather, is that this ordinance deserve the same measured, thoughtful consideration. 175 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:07,200 We should take the time to get it right, instead of rushing to solve a problem that based on the available evidence does not currently exist. 176 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:13,360 I believe we're very close to a fair and workable ordinance, and I would simply ask that we focus on regulating safety and equipment 177 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,560 rather than reshricting access and allowing the process the time it deserves. 178 00:13:17,940 --> 00:13:18,840 Thank you for your consideration. 179 00:13:20,700 --> 00:13:21,740 One more. 180 00:13:26,130 --> 00:13:27,510 Show me the picture. 181 00:13:28,030 --> 00:13:29,010 We have a door of extra. 182 00:13:29,490 --> 00:13:30,010 Thank you. 183 00:13:30,330 --> 00:13:31,170 Thank you. 184 00:13:36,980 --> 00:13:40,080 Is there any additional public comment tonight, ma'am in the back? 185 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:51,300 Good evening, Council. 186 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:52,700 My name is Melissa Jones. 187 00:13:52,700 --> 00:14:01,320 I reside at 2, 2, 3, 3, Revena Street and I am here to bring some comments regarding my 188 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,780 significant concerns about the proposed settlement between the city and prestige homes regarding 189 00:14:05,780 --> 00:14:09,820 the Canobary Crossing subdivision on Revena Street. 190 00:14:10,020 --> 00:14:14,140 My property is Jason to that project on the Northwest Corner. 191 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:21,940 I have issues conceptually, legally, procedurally, but as I was preparing my notes here tonight, 192 00:14:21,940 --> 00:14:25,640 And I thought, let's step back and take a look at the bigger picture. 193 00:14:25,700 --> 00:14:26,920 This has been a long process. 194 00:14:27,180 --> 00:14:28,700 We all know it's been a long process. 195 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:33,000 I think I can speak for everyone who says we want this to be resolved in some way. 196 00:14:33,460 --> 00:14:35,960 My concern is the way it is being resolved. 197 00:14:38,020 --> 00:14:40,460 There is mistrust on all sides. 198 00:14:40,580 --> 00:14:42,380 There's frustration on all sides. 199 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:47,440 And in these types of situations, it's very easy to paint the sides in broad strokes. 200 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:52,840 We have prestige, the quote unquote evil corporation, and only cares about money. 201 00:14:53,660 --> 00:14:59,960 We have city elected officials, the representatives, the corrupt politicians who are only doing favors. 202 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:11,580 For playing politics, or we have the crazy residents who don't like anything we have to say. It's very easy to put everybody into those categories. It's very easy to be black white. 203 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:22,840 That's just the way of the world these days. But in the reality is, everyone falls in the gray. All sides have valid points. And I am the first person to say, all sides absolutely have valid points. 204 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:30,740 And surely we can come to some sort of a agreement that makes everyone unhappy, which we all know that is the 205 00:15:30,740 --> 00:15:33,660 hallmark of a perfect settlement is nobody walks away happy. 206 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,260 But that being said, let's talk about the quote unquote evil corporation prestige. 207 00:15:39,860 --> 00:15:40,620 They are a business. 208 00:15:41,260 --> 00:15:43,200 They are respected developer in this community. 209 00:15:43,500 --> 00:15:44,600 They build nice homes. 210 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:46,640 I don't have an issue with prestige. 211 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,400 I also don't have an issue with that property being developed. 212 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,780 As I said, their business, their goal is to make money. 213 00:15:53,860 --> 00:15:54,960 That's the American way. 214 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,460 If you're not in the business and making money, you're a nonprofit. 215 00:15:58,240 --> 00:15:59,200 That is not them. 216 00:15:59,860 --> 00:16:01,200 But with business comes risk. 217 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,560 This land is known to have many risks. 218 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,820 It's not a surprise to anybody. 219 00:16:09,940 --> 00:16:13,280 And they purchase the land, knowing those risks. 220 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:19,020 And then in turn, they want to mitigate those risks by maximizing 221 00:16:19,020 --> 00:16:24,620 the profit and that is where we are today and the question I have is what is the healthy 222 00:16:24,620 --> 00:16:32,880 balance between it between those two concepts and also I question is the city helping them 223 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:38,900 mitigate their business decisions by entering to the settlement agreement that essentially gives 224 00:16:38,900 --> 00:16:45,680 them essentially everything they want. That's where the quote unquote politicians. None of you 225 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,920 is anyone I would put into this category. 226 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,840 We are all citizens who love this town, 227 00:16:51,180 --> 00:16:52,880 who are very dedicated to this town, 228 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,060 that what is best for the town. 229 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,520 And we might have differing opinions on what is best. 230 00:16:57,980 --> 00:16:58,720 And that's okay. 231 00:16:58,820 --> 00:17:00,940 It is okay to have differing opinions. 232 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,480 But at the end of the day, we all want to do 233 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:04,660 what is best for Hudson. 234 00:17:04,980 --> 00:17:07,640 And all of us are putting in a tremendous amount of time 235 00:17:08,360 --> 00:17:10,740 to do what we think is best for Hudson. 236 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,160 As for the quote, unquote, crazy residents, 237 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,360 which I suppose I would fall into that. 238 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,100 I can tell you the residents who have been involved, 239 00:17:19,580 --> 00:17:21,340 they are very educated, intelligent, 240 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:22,800 and reasonable people. 241 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,400 We all work hard and care about our community. 242 00:17:26,120 --> 00:17:28,900 Ward 3 is a special place, it has special zoning. 243 00:17:29,900 --> 00:17:33,660 And all of us move toward 3 or had a home in this ward 244 00:17:33,660 --> 00:17:36,300 because of that precise reason. 245 00:17:37,180 --> 00:17:38,800 We choose to live there for that reason. 246 00:17:39,340 --> 00:17:40,340 These are our homes. 247 00:17:40,500 --> 00:17:42,340 I don't think anybody here with the exception 248 00:17:42,340 --> 00:17:45,820 of Mr. Sutton who is our ward, we represented, 249 00:17:45,980 --> 00:17:48,340 but I understand as we accused himself, due to conflicts, 250 00:17:49,660 --> 00:17:50,980 you don't live in that area. 251 00:17:51,220 --> 00:17:54,860 You don't live directly next door to the proposed development. 252 00:17:55,880 --> 00:18:00,500 The city also recognizes how special the areas 253 00:18:00,500 --> 00:18:03,700 are a land development code has a lot of regulations. 254 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:05,900 The comprehensive plan addresses it. 255 00:18:05,980 --> 00:18:07,500 There were many surveys that were done. 256 00:18:08,060 --> 00:18:10,080 And overwhelmingly, all city residents 257 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:15,080 supported, conserving the rural nature of the area that doesn't mean it can't be developed. 258 00:18:15,740 --> 00:18:19,060 It just means there's such a provisions that need to be followed. 259 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,920 We all follow the laws, the codes, and the regulations. 260 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:24,980 And we expect others to do the same. 261 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:30,200 We, the crazy citizens, we've reviewed the land development code. 262 00:18:30,500 --> 00:18:30,600 We've reviewed the land development code. 263 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:31,940 We've reviewed the country heads to end. 264 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:32,840 All right, very good. 265 00:18:33,020 --> 00:18:35,160 Well, then I will just speed this up. 266 00:18:35,180 --> 00:18:39,080 I can send this all in, but the main, well, there's many issues I have, 267 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:44,840 one of which is the water. Water is a significant concern. The settlement agreement includes a 268 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:50,040 clause for unforeseen conditions, the concern that I know I personally have is if the water 269 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:54,840 is an unforeseen condition if the conditions are different than what the plans anticipated, 270 00:18:55,420 --> 00:19:01,760 what is my recourse. For example, the dry pond next door to me, the city built it. I had water 271 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:09,060 damning up on my property. I called the city, they came out and they took care of it, put in the 272 00:19:09,060 --> 00:19:11,300 because the way the plans are proposed, 273 00:19:11,540 --> 00:19:14,780 there is a very, very large retention point right on top of the slide. 274 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:15,820 It's not just happen. 275 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,840 Your time is up, but I'd like to let you finish that statement. 276 00:19:18,900 --> 00:19:19,640 That's okay. 277 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,860 I just asked the city consider the impact to the residents 278 00:19:23,860 --> 00:19:25,120 and take them into consideration. 279 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:26,620 Thank you, Ms. Jones. 280 00:19:31,940 --> 00:19:33,820 Is there any additional public comment tonight? 281 00:19:50,860 --> 00:19:54,360 But evening, Deborah Peter Silgead, Prescott Drive, Hudson, Ohio. 282 00:19:55,740 --> 00:19:59,840 This statement is also directly connected to what. 283 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:07,300 The previous speaker just talked about the Canobiri Meadows Project. I just have a couple of questions for city council. 284 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:20,160 How and why are you considering voting on a resolution that appears to be in direct violation of clearly stated black and white rules and regulations found in the Hudson City Charter? 285 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:27,620 Specifically, I cite the fact that only the Planning Commission has the authority to approve subdivisions and streetplats. 286 00:20:29,060 --> 00:20:30,080 They are on record. 287 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,360 The PC is on record as having turned this open space. 288 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:36,660 Conservation subdivision down. 289 00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:39,140 Planning Commission rejected the open space. 290 00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:42,640 Conservation subdivision and went on record with many suggestions. 291 00:20:43,300 --> 00:20:46,980 Per the terms of the LDC that could have met requirements. 292 00:20:46,980 --> 00:20:54,160 Your proposed settlement agreement would allow prestige to ignore the laws set forth in the LDC, 293 00:20:55,020 --> 00:21:01,920 a very dangerous precedent. Additionally, I also would like to ask to those of you 294 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:09,280 who received 20-25 campaign contributions from this particular real estate developer. What justification 295 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:14,700 would you have to vote on this resolution instead of recusing yourself? Thank you. 296 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,300 Thank you, ma'am. 297 00:21:24,010 --> 00:21:25,750 Is there any additional public comment tonight? 298 00:21:32,780 --> 00:21:37,080 My name is Haley, Arnold, and I'm at 6378 Canterbury Drive. 299 00:21:37,820 --> 00:21:42,160 I just want to echo the remarks of the previous two speakers. 300 00:21:42,340 --> 00:21:49,600 I'm here in support of maintaining adherence to our land development code and our zoning. 301 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:59,940 And I want to just make sure that my concern and I think probably the concern of the city is further litigation from 302 00:21:59,940 --> 00:22:15,240 Presti-Chones and although that is costly and that comes out of taxpayers' pockets, I think it's important that we, as a city, make a point that we're not going to be pushed around. 303 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:22,700 you know, we want to adhere to what the citizens said they wanted to do with the community 304 00:22:22,700 --> 00:22:30,100 and it just concerns me. I think we know in Twinsburg, real estate developers have 305 00:22:30,100 --> 00:22:35,960 bullied them into developing in ways that they didn't want to do. And so I'm hoping that in 306 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:42,340 Hudson we can sort of halt the line on that and maintain the beautiful community that we have. Thank you. 307 00:22:42,340 --> 00:22:44,080 Thank you. 308 00:22:48,270 --> 00:22:49,870 Additional public comment tonight. 309 00:22:51,860 --> 00:22:53,000 I started to change your mind. 310 00:22:53,420 --> 00:22:54,180 In the green shirt. 311 00:22:57,890 --> 00:22:58,350 Anybody else? 312 00:22:58,470 --> 00:22:59,010 Mr. Rivera. 313 00:23:24,250 --> 00:23:27,250 Anthony Rivera, 1746, Edgar Drive. 314 00:23:28,370 --> 00:23:31,690 I want to go back two weeks ago. 315 00:23:32,230 --> 00:23:36,010 I said Mr. Bird wanted to resolve this situation. 316 00:23:36,910 --> 00:23:38,110 That was his word. 317 00:23:39,170 --> 00:23:40,870 I spoke to him. 318 00:23:40,870 --> 00:23:44,890 And two weeks ago we did exactly the opposite. 319 00:23:46,290 --> 00:23:49,570 And he handed it over to Mr. Pittsburgh, 320 00:23:50,470 --> 00:23:54,070 which I read his statement last week. 321 00:23:54,630 --> 00:23:57,950 He's more concerned about protecting himself, 322 00:23:58,050 --> 00:23:59,910 Mr. Sheridan and Mr. Hannah. 323 00:24:01,410 --> 00:24:04,970 I sent Mr. Bird a text afterwards. 324 00:24:05,490 --> 00:24:09,610 I said, Mr. Bird, as you see the city of Hudson's official timeline, 325 00:24:09,610 --> 00:24:13,150 There is no reference to my fence being in the easement. 326 00:24:14,290 --> 00:24:17,170 Even Hannon's fake chronology doesn't have it. 327 00:24:17,530 --> 00:24:22,850 My professional fence company Ohio State fence is 100% sure that they had followed the 328 00:24:22,850 --> 00:24:25,910 guidelines set forth in the city of Hudson's staff. 329 00:24:26,690 --> 00:24:28,670 A approval card reflects this. 330 00:24:28,910 --> 00:24:37,950 The information that you received from Sheridan on the easement is a visit that Hannon did 331 00:24:37,950 --> 00:24:44,970 six months later. When Hannon falsified the records, deleting the final inspection pass. 332 00:24:45,730 --> 00:24:54,550 What I handed you guys today is Mr. Hannon's email and Mr. Hannon did not present himself 333 00:24:54,550 --> 00:24:59,970 up until April 4th of 2024. Mr. Han and... 334 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:16,540 He had put in a false sight plan on October, I'm sorry, yeah, September 8th, 2023. So, in this email, you'll 335 00:25:16,540 --> 00:25:23,000 see that he's introducing himself on April 4th. He says the right away, he's coming up for the right 336 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:30,300 way to be located are survey staff. He's not saying the survey. He's saying the survey staff 337 00:25:30,300 --> 00:25:35,560 will flag the location of the right away. First of all, it's not a right away. It's the 338 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:41,480 easement. And everybody's using that term. It's an easement. That's most people know that except 339 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:50,120 the city of Mr. Sheridan, Mr. Han and Mr. Pitchford. Even on the card, the approval card 340 00:25:50,120 --> 00:25:52,100 says and he easements. 341 00:25:54,260 --> 00:26:00,370 So what I've basically saying is that this has been treated in a way that 342 00:26:02,340 --> 00:26:11,340 is detrimental to the city, to myself. These guys are acted in bad faith. I've said about a month 343 00:26:11,340 --> 00:26:17,820 and a half ago that these guys committed felonies. That's not going away. Your code, the city code, 344 00:26:17,820 --> 00:26:22,560 The Ohio code shows that these guys broke the law. 345 00:26:25,670 --> 00:26:29,650 But on another note, I pulled out Mr. 346 00:26:31,950 --> 00:26:34,070 Foster's job that he had done. 347 00:26:34,550 --> 00:26:36,950 Mr. Sheridan handled this in a whole different way. 348 00:26:37,630 --> 00:26:38,950 I played the recording. 349 00:26:39,250 --> 00:26:41,370 He lied eight times in 39 seconds. 350 00:26:41,370 --> 00:26:48,050 He said, there was a sinkhole, a sinkhole was done in 2020. 351 00:26:50,910 --> 00:26:56,990 Mr. Foster is allowed to say, why did concrete did the work and it was done on 318? 352 00:26:57,930 --> 00:27:05,170 318, the work was completed. Mr. Sheridan knows that, the staff knew that. 353 00:27:05,170 --> 00:27:17,010 Mr. Foster on 414, which is almost a month afterwards, I'm happy to apply for a permit to correct any problems. 354 00:27:17,630 --> 00:27:26,670 If anything was done at Ronis or Ronis or I'm not a compliant manner, if you can walk me through the process, 355 00:27:26,670 --> 00:27:29,350 Let's talk in a Mr. Hannon. 356 00:27:29,730 --> 00:27:30,750 Good afternoon, Mr. Irvina. 357 00:27:31,450 --> 00:27:32,350 Thank you. 358 00:27:33,770 --> 00:27:34,730 After that statement, 359 00:27:37,090 --> 00:27:41,590 Mr. Foster put out a note to the city to Jody Roberts. 360 00:27:42,550 --> 00:27:48,990 I would like a timestamp of all calls placed on any city employee elected officials or their phone. 361 00:27:49,510 --> 00:27:52,130 Be personal phone call and with my number on it. 362 00:27:52,470 --> 00:27:57,790 So basically after making the statement, Mr. Foster saying that he wants to go after the guy 363 00:27:57,790 --> 00:28:01,850 that told me that he'd put a driveway in without a permit. 364 00:28:03,390 --> 00:28:05,110 This is handled in such a different way. 365 00:28:05,570 --> 00:28:07,670 I've gone through three different cases, 366 00:28:08,470 --> 00:28:17,860 which is just a malicious type attack on me and my family, 367 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,400 where Mr. Foster does a project 368 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,120 and nobody holds them accountable, 369 00:28:23,700 --> 00:28:25,820 and that's the average thing that's going on. 370 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,120 You have to be something else other than a regular citizen, 371 00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:38,240 to get a fair shake. Mr. Sheridan is to me the most of blatantly corrupt guy I know. 372 00:28:38,820 --> 00:28:40,320 Thank you very much. Thank you, Mr. Rivera. 373 00:28:45,340 --> 00:28:47,360 Is there any additional public comment tonight? 374 00:28:51,990 --> 00:28:58,310 Seeing no further public comment, we will close section 6 and move on to section 7, which is 375 00:28:58,310 --> 00:29:03,370 correspondence and council comment. If any council member has correspondence that has an already 376 00:29:03,370 --> 00:29:12,150 have been generally distributed and or council comments. We will hear those now. Please gain my attention and allow me to verbally recognize you and assign you the floor. 377 00:29:12,810 --> 00:29:15,290 Does council have any comments this evening? 378 00:29:16,430 --> 00:29:17,570 Councillor Brosovic. 379 00:29:18,410 --> 00:29:18,870 Thank you, Mayor. 380 00:29:19,990 --> 00:29:20,550 A few comments. 381 00:29:21,070 --> 00:29:24,310 First, the HCTV advisory committee met last week. 382 00:29:25,270 --> 00:29:27,570 There wasn't much as far as new business. 383 00:29:27,890 --> 00:29:37,830 The one item was that they are looking into technology and working with legal as far as the need to provide closed captioning in events. 384 00:29:38,350 --> 00:29:43,650 There was an FCC regulation that requires community television provide closed captioning. 385 00:29:43,650 --> 00:29:51,470 They already do most of the closed captioning and house the one kind of outstanding question is with the live broadcast because that's not something we can do in house 386 00:29:51,470 --> 00:29:57,150 We have to wait 20 28 on that so it's it's not pressing, but it is being worked done 387 00:29:58,790 --> 00:29:59,970 Next I do have 388 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,980 By message, I received that would be read into the record. 389 00:30:06,020 --> 00:30:09,340 Members of Council, thank you for your service to our city and its residents. 390 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:16,120 I recognize that 2026 has been a demanding year, and I appreciate the time and effort you dedicate to these important decisions. 391 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:22,680 I am writing to express my concern regarding the proposed settlement related to the development on a rune van astrie. 392 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:27,680 My primary concern is that this development appears to be moving forward despite previous rejection, 393 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:35,920 We're opposition by the Planning Commission, City Council, the Board of Zoning Appeals, and the Summit County Court, and many neighboring residents. 394 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:44,680 If the revised plan now meets the standards and criteria required by the city, it should proceed through the same review process as any other development proposal. 395 00:30:45,860 --> 00:30:50,860 The established process exists to ensure transparency, public input, and careful evaluation. 396 00:30:50,860 --> 00:30:57,120 No applicants should be granted an exception to that process, regardless of how long a project has been under consideration. 397 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:04,400 In fact, if the city believes the proposal has been improved sufficiently, allowing it to return to the planning commission for review, 398 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,660 would seem to be the most appropriate course of action. 399 00:31:07,100 --> 00:31:12,660 If the planning commission determines the plan meets then a necessarily requirements the project can then move forward 400 00:31:12,660 --> 00:31:17,520 through the standard process with the public confidence that all procedures have been followed. 401 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:21,660 While I understand this has been a lengthy and costly matter for all parties involved, much 402 00:31:21,660 --> 00:31:25,240 of that could have been avoided, had the developer address the concerns and recommendations 403 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:26,900 raised throughout the review process. 404 00:31:27,460 --> 00:31:31,080 Following the established guidance provided by the city's boards and commissions from the 405 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,860 outset may have prevented years of litigation delays and expense. 406 00:31:34,700 --> 00:31:38,780 I respectfully ask Council to uphold the integrity of the city's development review process 407 00:31:38,780 --> 00:31:42,760 and ensure that this proposal is evaluated in the same manner as any other project 408 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:43,680 before it is approved. 409 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:55,760 Thank you for your time and consideration.
