We had ups 1620 01:00:53,731 --> 01:00:54,466 do a review of that. Not with 1621 01:00:54,466 --> 01:00:56,866 the specific specifications of 1622 01:00:58,136 --> 01:00:58,871 the equipment, but Ken 65 be 1623 01:00:58,871 --> 01:01:00,272 achieved. And so that's that's 1624 01:01:00,272 --> 01:01:01,139 study one. And that's in your 1625 01:01:01,139 --> 01:01:03,410 binder. Study to is the 1626 01:01:03,410 --> 01:01:04,276 ambient noise from the 1627 01:01:04,276 --> 01:01:06,276 Thunderbird Commerce Center. 1628 01:01:06,411 --> 01:01:08,413 So we know what's happening 1629 01:01:08,413 --> 01:01:09,281 right now. Now as part of 1630 01:01:09,281 --> 01:01:10,650 discussion with the school and 1631 01:01:10,650 --> 01:01:13,500 and other community members 1632 01:01:14,386 --> 01:01:15,187 is, you know, what are they 1633 01:01:15,187 --> 01:01:15,888 hearing now and what will they 1634 01:01:15,888 --> 01:01:19,525 here in dc boxes here? So we 1635 01:01:19,525 --> 01:01:21,493 we did that say the 3rd study. 1636 01:01:21,493 --> 01:01:23,893 Was building. One is 1637 01:01:24,162 --> 01:01:24,863 operational in Atlanta East. 1638 01:01:24,863 --> 01:01:27,980 And so we did a study of that 1639 01:01:27,980 --> 01:01:30,980 building. And provided that to 1640 01:01:31,703 --> 01:01:32,437 you as well. The force sound 1641 01:01:32,437 --> 01:01:36,370 study that will come after the 1642 01:01:37,509 --> 01:01:38,443 equipment is picked will be 1643 01:01:38,443 --> 01:01:40,460 specific to that equipment, 1644 01:01:40,460 --> 01:01:40,779 making sure that that 1645 01:01:40,779 --> 01:01:43,779 equipment is not producing any 1646 01:01:44,116 --> 01:01:46,719 sort of noise. That's louder 1647 01:01:46,719 --> 01:01:49,222 than 65 at the property line. 1648 01:01:49,222 --> 01:01:52,325 What we added to that study 1649 01:01:52,325 --> 01:01:54,325 was addressing low-frequency 1650 01:01:54,994 --> 01:01:55,961 noise. So I know when you all 1651 01:01:55,961 --> 01:01:58,300 discussed your guardrails, you 1652 01:01:58,300 --> 01:02:01,300 had some discussions about a 1653 01:02:01,901 --> 01:02:04,700 specific number of dbc. The 1654 01:02:04,700 --> 01:02:07,400 issue with that is the 1655 01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:09,800 community's goals and dc block 1656 01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:10,276 schools. Our to not have low 1657 01:02:10,276 --> 01:02:12,144 frequency. Be an issue, right? 1658 01:02:12,144 --> 01:02:12,979 No one wants to be to serve dc 1659 01:02:12,979 --> 01:02:13,646 boxes and want to disturb 1660 01:02:13,646 --> 01:02:14,347 anyone. The neighbors don't 1661 01:02:14,347 --> 01:02:15,140 want to be dysart's. We have 1662 01:02:15,140 --> 01:02:18,614 to find a way to accomplish 1663 01:02:20,190 --> 01:02:22,956 that. So the issue when you 1664 01:02:22,956 --> 01:02:23,656 you guys talked about that 1665 01:02:23,656 --> 01:02:25,758 variant, that Delta and what 1666 01:02:25,758 --> 01:02:28,758 happens at that Delta. The 1667 01:02:29,896 --> 01:02:33,990 issue is if you pick. A 1668 01:02:33,990 --> 01:02:34,300 specific number Epsilon can 1669 01:02:34,300 --> 01:02:35,000 come up to anything I say. I'm 1670 01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:38,303 just a layperson when it come 1671 01:02:38,303 --> 01:02:40,273 when it comes to sound. We 1672 01:02:40,273 --> 01:02:42,408 didn't think that would 1673 01:02:42,408 --> 01:02:43,943 achieve Sagal. And so picking 1674 01:02:43,943 --> 01:02:44,611 a number wouldn't presume 1675 01:02:44,611 --> 01:02:45,879 produce the results that dc 1676 01:02:45,879 --> 01:02:48,879 Box once in the community 1677 01:02:49,415 --> 01:02:51,651 wants. But what can produce 1678 01:02:51,651 --> 01:02:52,819 that result is sound 1679 01:02:52,819 --> 01:02:53,453 engineering to address low 1680 01:02:53,453 --> 01:02:55,688 frequency. And so what we 1681 01:02:55,688 --> 01:02:58,688 committed to do first. Have 1682 01:03:01,795 --> 01:03:02,328 the sound study. Look at 1683 01:03:02,328 --> 01:03:03,496 low-frequency week. 1684 01:03:03,496 --> 01:03:05,896 Unpredicted off of those 1685 01:03:05,999 --> 01:03:07,133 specific equipment items and 1686 01:03:07,133 --> 01:03:09,169 make sure that it's designed 1687 01:03:09,169 --> 01:03:11,169 and engineered appropriately 1688 01:03:11,372 --> 01:03:13,240 not to cause low frequency 1689 01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:14,375 issues. It's important to know 1690 01:03:14,375 --> 01:03:16,343 dc boxes built these 1691 01:03:16,343 --> 01:03:18,145 buildings. So we know they 1692 01:03:18,145 --> 01:03:18,879 haven't had any luck frequency 1693 01:03:18,879 --> 01:03:20,213 issues at their facilities. We 1694 01:03:20,213 --> 01:03:21,982 don't want them to have any in 1695 01:03:21,982 --> 01:03:23,149 the future. And we know we can 1696 01:03:23,149 --> 01:03:25,149 accomplish this through 1697 01:03:25,819 --> 01:03:27,288 engineering, but we went one 1698 01:03:27,288 --> 01:03:28,255 step further. We said we'd 1699 01:03:28,255 --> 01:03:31,255 summit the message to the 1700 01:03:31,458 --> 01:03:32,126 administrator and then we also 1701 01:03:32,126 --> 01:03:35,126 went one step further than 1702 01:03:35,763 --> 01:03:37,731 that. And we. Said we would do 1703 01:03:37,731 --> 01:03:38,365 an annual tests which gets 1704 01:03:38,365 --> 01:03:39,766 submitted to the District 1705 01:03:39,766 --> 01:03:41,569 Councilor and the 1706 01:03:41,569 --> 01:03:42,269 administrator. And so let's 1707 01:03:42,269 --> 01:03:44,669 say something funky happens 1708 01:03:45,973 --> 01:03:47,740 with the equipment in year 5. 1709 01:03:47,740 --> 01:03:48,309 There's an annual test every 1710 01:03:48,309 --> 01:03:51,478 year to make sure that that 1711 01:03:51,478 --> 01:03:53,480 low frequency is performing 1712 01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:57,800 the way that it should in 1713 01:03:57,384 --> 01:03:59,687 relation to va dbc. So that 1714 01:03:59,687 --> 01:04:00,387 was the way we tackle that to 1715 01:04:00,387 --> 01:04:02,756 address community members. We 1716 01:04:02,756 --> 01:04:06,356 did get feedback there on file 1717 01:04:09,296 --> 01:04:11,165 with Kathleen one of the known 1718 01:04:11,165 --> 01:04:13,340 for Montz for data centers who 1719 01:04:13,340 --> 01:04:15,200 excellent work to get into 1720 01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:17,380 these issues. Emailed us just 1721 01:04:17,380 --> 01:04:17,738 yesterday and said she was 1722 01:04:17,738 --> 01:04:20,138 satisfied with our commitment 1723 01:04:21,108 --> 01:04:22,243 and our how we address 1724 01:04:22,243 --> 01:04:24,643 low-frequency here. And that's 1725 01:04:26,548 --> 01:04:30,619 the I I I I I not right that. 1726 01:04:30,619 --> 01:04:36,190 Yes, I e e I and then I and 1727 01:04:36,124 --> 01:04:36,758 then I I 3. Yeah. Other 1728 01:04:36,758 --> 01:04:37,359 questions. Members of the 1729 01:04:37,359 --> 01:04:38,460 Commission Commissioner 1730 01:04:38,460 --> 01:04:40,460 Wesley, everything yes, 1731 01:04:46,668 --> 01:04:50,268 please. And do In the report 1732 01:04:52,541 --> 01:04:55,541 in 62. Page, 2 of 3 at the 1733 01:04:55,944 --> 01:04:58,813 bottom. The conclusion is that 1734 01:04:58,813 --> 01:05:01,883 65 dba is realistic. As a goal 1735 01:05:01,883 --> 01:05:06,683 to be met and youth. So it is 1736 01:05:06,755 --> 01:05:09,755 much yes in your discussion. 1737 01:05:10,158 --> 01:05:12,158 Under 10, I'm 60. About 1738 01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:19,640 halfway back. You go. Grants. 1739 01:05:22,404 --> 01:05:26,400 Db. Want access some times and 1740 01:05:29,211 --> 01:05:29,911 dates or the x axis. You've 1741 01:05:29,911 --> 01:05:32,911 published dba and bbc results 1742 01:05:34,383 --> 01:05:37,453 and others as well. Those are 1743 01:05:37,453 --> 01:05:38,287 from the Atlanta project. And 1744 01:05:38,287 --> 01:05:40,590 they do show that you're in 1745 01:05:40,590 --> 01:05:43,590 compliance there with a 65 db. 1746 01:05:44,927 --> 01:05:47,927 A. Limit. You're under that 1747 01:05:49,632 --> 01:05:52,632 limit. That's the red line. 1748 01:05:57,773 --> 01:05:58,474 The Line. Is the bc. And it 1749 01:05:58,474 --> 01:06:01,474 shows that you'd be under 80 1750 01:06:06,716 --> 01:06:07,250 db, a limit. And I understand 1751 01:06:07,250 --> 01:06:08,651 you're not going to 1752 01:06:08,651 --> 01:06:11,687 necessarily put a number to it 1753 01:06:11,687 --> 01:06:12,722 because it's just tricky was 1754 01:06:12,722 --> 01:06:13,890 bbc and it can be cite 1755 01:06:13,890 --> 01:06:14,557 specific or can be 1756 01:06:14,557 --> 01:06:16,557 resonant frequencies, Cree 1757 01:06:19,395 --> 01:06:20,129 both. But where the rubber 1758 01:06:20,129 --> 01:06:22,330 meets the road is and you said 1759 01:06:22,330 --> 01:06:24,100 it very well. You don't want 1760 01:06:24,100 --> 01:06:24,867 to do something bad in the 1761 01:06:24,867 --> 01:06:25,501 neighborhood. Don't want to 1762 01:06:25,501 --> 01:06:27,104 have little effect in the 1763 01:06:27,104 --> 01:06:30,104 neighborhood. Would there be a 1764 01:06:31,274 --> 01:06:34,610 way? To describe a no result 1765 01:06:34,610 --> 01:06:37,610 and a remedy? In particular, 1766 01:06:38,381 --> 01:06:41,381 possibly with the school. And 1767 01:06:41,685 --> 01:06:43,719 have the number be a hidden To 1768 01:06:43,719 --> 01:06:46,119 avoid any frivolous complaint. 1769 01:06:49,258 --> 01:06:51,128 Here's the idea. If the low 1770 01:06:51,128 --> 01:06:51,728 frequency but you're emitting 1771 01:06:51,728 --> 01:06:54,128 causes going causes any 1772 01:06:58,202 --> 01:06:59,690 complaint. With Steph? 1773 01:06:59,690 --> 01:06:59,769 Teachers, students at the 1774 01:06:59,769 --> 01:07:02,769 school of glasses rarely are. 1775 01:07:05,742 --> 01:07:07,770 Choppers are rattling. If it's 1776 01:07:07,770 --> 01:07:09,478 above a number, could be 85 1777 01:07:09,478 --> 01:07:10,714 dba some ceiling. Both things 1778 01:07:10,714 --> 01:07:14,314 were true. Then you'd be there 1779 01:07:16,119 --> 01:07:16,787 to address it and probably the 1780 01:07:16,787 --> 01:07:17,454 best way to address that at 1781 01:07:17,454 --> 01:07:21,540 that point would be dirt or 1782 01:07:25,762 --> 01:07:26,463 concrete. At that location. 1783 01:07:26,463 --> 01:07:28,932 And we could even back up one 1784 01:07:28,932 --> 01:07:30,367 step and say, have you had to 1785 01:07:30,367 --> 01:07:32,536 comply with bbc requirements 1786 01:07:32,536 --> 01:07:33,370 in other parts of the country. 1787 01:07:33,370 --> 01:07:37,570 Is this a thing going on in 1788 01:07:37,641 --> 01:07:38,842 other parts of the country? 1789 01:07:38,842 --> 01:07:40,911 Know the answer to that. Your 1790 01:07:40,911 --> 01:07:41,577 last question is no. And 1791 01:07:41,577 --> 01:07:45,150 that's why it took us some 1792 01:07:45,150 --> 01:07:45,717 time to work with Epsilon to 1793 01:07:45,717 --> 01:07:46,383 better understand kind of how 1794 01:07:46,383 --> 01:07:49,386 to measure this and try and 1795 01:07:49,386 --> 01:07:52,986 track the sun include can give 1796 01:07:53,624 --> 01:07:54,359 some comments. We were. Your 1797 01:07:54,359 --> 01:07:59,159 idea is one way to look at it, 1798 01:07:59,296 --> 01:08:00,298 we had looked at discrete 1799 01:08:00,298 --> 01:08:01,398 tones and other ways to 1800 01:08:01,398 --> 01:08:02,320 address it. And so that's why 1801 01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:03,301 we made these commitments 1802 01:08:03,301 --> 01:08:06,301 because we think there are 1803 01:08:06,771 --> 01:08:08,706 multiple ways to address it. 1804 01:08:08,706 --> 01:08:12,306 Do I understand that you have 1805 01:08:14,478 --> 01:08:17,448 a specific Of a maybe just 1806 01:08:17,448 --> 01:08:18,383 wondering what can be offered. 1807 01:08:18,383 --> 01:08:21,383 To guard against a low 1808 01:08:33,531 --> 01:08:35,531 frequency problem. 1809 01:08:52,851 --> 01:08:53,651 And let you 1810 01:08:53,651 --> 01:08:56,588 hear from London in just 1811 01:08:56,588 --> 01:08:59,588 minute. If you have questions. 1812 01:09:01,250 --> 01:09:03,194 Your your point well taken. I 1813 01:09:03,194 --> 01:09:04,129 think what we could to to 1814 01:09:04,129 --> 01:09:06,432 address that is we so we right 1815 01:09:06,432 --> 01:09:09,334 now we have an annual sound 1816 01:09:09,334 --> 01:09:11,537 study which will done to 1817 01:09:11,537 --> 01:09:12,570 address and reported out. And 1818 01:09:12,570 --> 01:09:13,838 we're we're one of our 1819 01:09:13,838 --> 01:09:14,506 commitment is also a website 1820 01:09:14,506 --> 01:09:16,906 going forward, right? We've 1821 01:09:17,710 --> 01:09:18,643 been asked to keep our Web 1822 01:09:18,643 --> 01:09:20,579 site operational so that the 1823 01:09:20,579 --> 01:09:21,213 community can continue to find 1824 01:09:21,213 --> 01:09:24,115 documents not to go trace 1825 01:09:24,115 --> 01:09:26,515 chasing down everywhere. What 1826 01:09:26,785 --> 01:09:27,920 I think we could do to address 1827 01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:30,920 your commitment is agree. If 1828 01:09:31,557 --> 01:09:32,258 we do get a complaint to do an 1829 01:09:32,258 --> 01:09:34,658 additional sound study within 1830 01:09:34,927 --> 01:09:38,527 so many. Days or months or 1831 01:09:39,164 --> 01:09:41,634 whatever. Want to cap that at 1832 01:09:41,634 --> 01:09:42,234 probably not more than 2 sound 1833 01:09:42,234 --> 01:09:42,868 studies per year. They 1834 01:09:42,868 --> 01:09:44,868 equipment's not changing, 1835 01:09:45,137 --> 01:09:49,108 right. And so what you find at 1836 01:09:49,108 --> 01:09:49,775 least twice a year you find 1837 01:09:49,775 --> 01:09:53,375 out. But I think that would 1838 01:09:54,450 --> 01:09:55,414 help guard against frivolous 1839 01:09:55,414 --> 01:09:56,810 complaints, but also 1840 01:09:56,810 --> 01:09:59,810 reactionary to any sort of 1841 01:09:59,484 --> 01:10:00,920 concerns that we would see if 1842 01:10:00,920 --> 01:10:01,720 it's that would satisfy your 1843 01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:04,890 question. We'd be happy to 1844 01:10:04,890 --> 01:10:05,240 amend the commitments to add 1845 01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:05,724 an additional sound say. The 1846 01:10:05,724 --> 01:10:09,324 other thing I would point out 1847 01:10:12,897 --> 01:10:13,566 is we've added that the war, 1848 01:10:13,566 --> 01:10:14,733 the District Councilor the 1849 01:10:14,733 --> 01:10:16,733 Warren Township Development 1850 01:10:17,670 --> 01:10:18,837 Association and the Irvington 1851 01:10:18,837 --> 01:10:20,573 schools are enforcing bodies 1852 01:10:20,573 --> 01:10:21,241 in the commitments as well. So 1853 01:10:21,241 --> 01:10:23,641 we've given them additional 1854 01:10:27,513 --> 01:10:28,181 protections there as well. 1855 01:10:28,181 --> 01:10:28,881 With the same study include 1856 01:10:28,881 --> 01:10:32,481 the church such as we seeing 1857 01:10:36,220 --> 01:10:37,156 him. Temp 60. Please introduce 1858 01:10:37,156 --> 01:10:39,556 yourself, sir. Yeah, good 1859 01:10:40,993 --> 01:10:43,630 afternoon, Clints year. A lot 1860 01:10:43,630 --> 01:10:43,797 to so see. It's from 3 Millon 1861 01:10:43,797 --> 01:10:45,797 main place suite 2.50, 1862 01:10:45,999 --> 01:10:47,999 Maynard, Massachusetts, 0, 1, 1863 01:10:48,235 --> 01:10:50,635 7, 5, 4, where you do sworn 1864 01:10:52,405 --> 01:10:53,173 in. Thank you for seeing. To 1865 01:10:53,173 --> 01:10:55,542 answer the question, the 1866 01:10:55,542 --> 01:10:56,243 details of how the 1867 01:10:56,243 --> 01:10:56,943 post-construction sound study 1868 01:10:56,943 --> 01:10:57,611 have not been ironed out yet, 1869 01:10:57,611 --> 01:11:00,611 but that's something that I 1870 01:11:02,249 --> 01:11:03,416 would work with dc blocks on 1871 01:11:03,416 --> 01:11:05,117 putting together. So depending 1872 01:11:05,117 --> 01:11:08,117 on how that studies conducted, 1873 01:11:08,822 --> 01:11:09,556 it would kind of impact what's 1874 01:11:09,556 --> 01:11:11,323 presented, for instance, if 1875 01:11:11,323 --> 01:11:14,323 the measurements are are short 1876 01:11:14,361 --> 01:11:15,495 in duration, we're unlikely to 1877 01:11:15,495 --> 01:11:16,530 present to a plot of that 1878 01:11:16,530 --> 01:11:17,230 data. But if it's over a 1879 01:11:17,230 --> 01:11:18,231 longer duration than it makes 1880 01:11:18,231 --> 01:11:18,965 more sense to show it as a 1881 01:11:18,965 --> 01:11:23,165 plot like you have in front of 1882 01:11:26,390 --> 01:11:27,973 you. When you see duration, 1883 01:11:27,973 --> 01:11:28,642 you're not talking about the 1884 01:11:28,642 --> 01:11:31,111 fast or slow scale. You're 1885 01:11:31,111 --> 01:11:32,212 talking about over weeks or 1886 01:11:32,212 --> 01:11:34,612 months, correct. Time duration 1887 01:11:37,117 --> 01:11:37,784 of the South measurement. 1888 01:11:37,784 --> 01:11:39,784 Weather. That's 20 minutes. 1889 01:11:42,722 --> 01:11:44,391 One hour. Boys is not an exact 1890 01:11:44,391 --> 01:11:47,391 science just offering new be 1891 01:11:48,228 --> 01:11:48,930 able offer something take care 1892 01:11:48,930 --> 01:11:49,664 of the school. I don't think 1893 01:11:49,664 --> 01:11:51,698 that's responsive, though. But 1894 01:11:51,698 --> 01:11:53,698 that's okay. 1895 01:12:00,841 --> 01:12:03,310 And please, thank you.

Yes, upon studies. Take 1921 01:13:00,302 --> 01:13:01,569 time. So we. We could commit 1922 01:13:01,569 --> 01:13:02,471 that upon a noise complaint, 1923 01:13:02,471 --> 01:13:06,710 we could have a sound study 1924 01:13:06,276 --> 01:13:07,910 back within 2 months and we 1925 01:13:07,910 --> 01:13:08,643 would cap the number of annual 1926 01:13:08,643 --> 01:13:12,113 study Stone studies to no more 1927 01:13:12,113 --> 01:13:14,349 than 2 per year.

PRESIDENT Don't I 1933 01:13:25,961 --> 01:13:26,562 really appreciate the 1934 01:13:26,562 --> 01:13:28,562 conversation about the 1935 01:13:30,265 --> 01:13:32,401 decommissioning plan. I think 1936 01:13:32,401 --> 01:13:33,168 that was amiss in the form of 1937 01:13:33,168 --> 01:13:36,768 forward this the on plant that 1938 01:13:37,572 --> 01:13:38,407 was exhausted in 2007. In 1939 01:13:38,407 --> 01:13:41,407 addition to the plan, other 1940 01:13:41,442 --> 01:13:42,778 decommissioning plan dollars 1941 01:13:42,778 --> 01:13:45,181 that will be allocated towards 1942 01:13:45,181 --> 01:13:46,148 what happens if when distant 1943 01:13:46,148 --> 01:13:48,884 point in the future. Should 1944 01:13:48,884 --> 01:13:49,918 this project be successful 1945 01:13:49,918 --> 01:13:50,519 that the community wouldn't be 1946 01:13:50,519 --> 01:13:51,186 left with a shell of a 1947 01:13:51,186 --> 01:13:53,188 building like they were the 1948 01:13:53,188 --> 01:13:55,188 last time. 1949 01:14:02,464 --> 01:14:03,532 Commissioner. That's something 1950 01:14:03,532 --> 01:14:07,132 that we have have looked at. 1951 01:14:07,903 --> 01:14:10,639 There is. The land is 1952 01:14:10,639 --> 01:14:11,373 valuable. The building will be 1953 01:14:11,373 --> 01:14:13,773 after our decommissioning plan 1954 01:14:13,909 --> 01:14:16,678 is is executed. The building 1955 01:14:16,678 --> 01:14:17,746 would be left as a concrete 1956 01:14:17,746 --> 01:14:20,146 industrial shell, which also 1957 01:14:20,916 --> 01:14:23,852 would be valuable. We had some 1958 01:14:23,852 --> 01:14:25,540 direct feedback, some from 1959 01:14:25,540 --> 01:14:27,757 some neighbors in in Irvington 1960 01:14:27,757 --> 01:14:28,458 that that agreed to that 1961 01:14:28,458 --> 01:14:32,580 they're asked in it. Take us 1962 01:14:32,395 --> 01:14:34,330 as far as demolition because 1963 01:14:34,330 --> 01:14:37,901 of the value that that could 1964 01:14:37,901 --> 01:14:40,901 be maintained with that. And 1965 01:14:43,239 --> 01:14:45,239 so not concerned 1966 01:14:51,446 --> 01:14:53,615 the impact. There's there's no 1967 01:14:53,615 --> 01:14:54,484 bond it. There's no Lake City 1968 01:14:54,484 --> 01:14:55,218 bond on this project as some 1969 01:14:55,218 --> 01:14:57,987 of the other concerns. I think 1970 01:14:57,987 --> 01:15:00,987 for other projects have then 1971 01:15:03,726 --> 01:15:06,726 we also did look into. 1972 01:15:06,763 --> 01:15:09,966 Specific bonds, we came to the 1973 01:15:09,966 --> 01:15:12,366 conclusion that this is 1974 01:15:12,402 --> 01:15:14,802 outside the norm for. 1975 01:15:17,307 --> 01:15:18,741 Industrial type projects and 1976 01:15:18,741 --> 01:15:20,410 that money is used for this 1977 01:15:20,410 --> 01:15:21,678 purpose would be better served 1978 01:15:21,678 --> 01:15:22,312 in the indirectly in the 1979 01:15:22,312 --> 01:15:24,312 community, providing real 1980 01:15:24,747 --> 01:15:25,648 economic impact. There. I 1981 01:15:25,648 --> 01:15:26,717 mean, I think there's 1982 01:15:26,717 --> 01:15:27,750 something to be said for what 1983 01:15:27,750 --> 01:15:29,687 happens in the present term. 1984 01:15:29,687 --> 01:15:32,790 But as we know, things are 1985 01:15:32,790 --> 01:15:33,724 going to and people at one 1986 01:15:33,724 --> 01:15:34,424 point in time did never think 1987 01:15:34,424 --> 01:15:37,594 that we would make sell fewer 1988 01:15:37,594 --> 01:15:38,295 cars. But we do. And 1989 01:15:38,295 --> 01:15:40,164 therefore, the plant that was 1990 01:15:40,164 --> 01:15:41,198 there is no longer there. And 1991 01:15:41,198 --> 01:15:44,198 the building has sat vacant 1992 01:15:44,901 --> 01:15:46,270 for 25 years. So being that 1993 01:15:46,270 --> 01:15:48,272 things change removing already 1994 01:15:48,272 --> 01:15:50,400 fit fast enough into quantum 1995 01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:51,341 computing and it's going to 1996 01:15:51,341 --> 01:15:52,900 change the nature of data 1997 01:15:52,900 --> 01:15:54,712 centers as the existence of 1998 01:15:54,712 --> 01:15:55,613 there being planned. Now. So 1999 01:15:55,613 --> 01:15:58,130 I'm asking in the 2000 01:15:58,481 --> 01:15:59,583 decommissioning plan that 2001 01:15:59,583 --> 01:16:02,419 didn't happen before, which I 2002 01:16:02,419 --> 01:16:03,654 think is a really good step 2003 01:16:03,654 --> 01:16:04,355 forward. If there can be a 2004 01:16:04,355 --> 01:16:06,755 conversation of allocation of 2005 01:16:07,992 --> 01:16:08,792 dollars. So that if the 2006 01:16:08,792 --> 01:16:10,628 community is not left burdened 2007 01:16:10,628 --> 01:16:11,228 by something that it doesn't 2008 01:16:11,228 --> 01:16:14,828 use at any point in the 2009 01:16:25,776 --> 01:16:27,776 future. 2010 01:16:48,567 --> 01:16:50,340 Marked a sea. The sea 2011 01:16:50,340 --> 01:16:50,702 blocks on the chief 2012 01:16:50,702 --> 01:16:52,702 development officer address 2013 01:16:55,273 --> 01:16:56,775 10, 40 Crown Point Plaza the 2014 01:16:56,775 --> 01:16:57,409 land letter, Georgia through 2015 01:16:57,409 --> 01:16:59,809 3, 3, 8, have even do the 2016 01:17:00,345 --> 01:17:01,546 think you go ahead.

This 2026 01:17:19,130 --> 01:17:21,130 building would serve. 2027 01:17:21,399 --> 01:17:22,100 Multitude of uses for 2028 01:17:22,100 --> 01:17:24,100 additional manufacturing.

It 2070 01:18:39,478 --> 01:18:40,246 already was an industrial 2071 01:18:40,246 --> 01:18:40,913 facility, but it had a life 2072 01:18:40,913 --> 01:18:43,349 span that they thought was 2073 01:18:43,349 --> 01:18:45,218 never going to end. And it 2074 01:18:45,218 --> 01:18:47,954 did. And it set vacant for 25 2075 01:18:47,954 --> 01:18:49,187 years being unproductive. It's 2076 01:18:49,187 --> 01:18:50,890 going to happen again. 2077 01:18:50,890 --> 01:18:51,691 Regardless of what the 2078 01:18:51,691 --> 01:18:54,600 building is made of.

I 2210 01:23:13,422 --> 01:23:15,291 also want to be direct about 2211 01:23:15,291 --> 01:23:18,195 something that is public as 2212 01:23:18,195 --> 01:23:20,195 mentioned already today, 2213 01:23:20,230 --> 01:23:21,498 members of our board and 2214 01:23:21,498 --> 01:23:23,898 leadership recently toured ec 2215 01:23:24,367 --> 01:23:25,101 boxes, Atlanta facility. That 2216 01:23:25,101 --> 01:23:28,101 was a fact-finding mission and 2217 01:23:28,405 --> 01:23:29,500 nothing else. We accepted no 2218 01:23:29,500 --> 01:23:32,500 funds, no guests and no 2219 01:23:32,809 --> 01:23:33,710 promises of any kind. It was 2220 01:23:33,710 --> 01:23:34,411 not an endorsement being 2221 01:23:34,411 --> 01:23:38,110 informed as part of our duty 2222 01:23:38,248 --> 01:23:40,449 to our students. The building 2223 01:23:40,449 --> 01:23:41,117 I see us all was only 30% 2224 01:23:41,117 --> 01:23:41,751 complete. The construction 2225 01:23:41,751 --> 01:23:43,753 included drilling into a 2226 01:23:43,753 --> 01:23:46,289 mountain that was so loud that 2227 01:23:46,289 --> 01:23:48,525 even the generators could not 2228 01:23:48,525 --> 01:23:50,994 be heard. Even the ICs went to 2229 01:23:50,994 --> 01:23:51,695 Atlanta. We were unable to 2230 01:23:51,695 --> 01:23:54,950 discover any meaningful facts 2231 01:23:55,332 --> 01:23:56,320 during that trip. What what we 2232 01:23:56,320 --> 01:23:58,702 ask the commission to hold on 2233 01:23:58,702 --> 01:24:01,404 to is this that burden and a 2234 01:24:01,404 --> 01:24:02,380 use variance is not on us. It 2235 01:24:02,380 --> 01:24:06,209 is on dc blocks and it is 2236 01:24:06,209 --> 01:24:06,877 heavy. My colleagues will walk 2237 01:24:06,877 --> 01:24:09,277 through the 5 findings. The 2238 01:24:09,713 --> 01:24:12,713 applicant must approve and why 2239 01:24:14,851 --> 01:24:15,619 on this record, it cannot. 2240 01:24:15,619 --> 01:24:16,253 Please introduce yourself your 2241 01:24:16,253 --> 01:24:17,587 address and have you been 2242 01:24:17,587 --> 01:24:20,587 sworn?

I'm a member of the 2250 01:24:36,239 --> 01:24:36,941 Irvington community and the 2251 01:24:36,941 --> 01:24:38,475 chief information officer of 2252 01:24:38,475 --> 01:24:40,710 the Jane Pauley Community 2253 01:24:40,710 --> 01:24:41,745 Health Center located on the 2254 01:24:41,745 --> 01:24:42,847 East side of Indianapolis Step 2255 01:24:42,847 --> 01:24:44,881 provides care to over 60,000 2256 01:24:44,881 --> 01:24:46,250 local residents, mostly 2257 01:24:46,250 --> 01:24:46,884 children and a member of 2258 01:24:46,884 --> 01:24:48,884 government and community 2259 01:24:50,521 --> 01:24:51,188 Schools Board of Governors. 2260 01:24:51,188 --> 01:24:51,888 Want to start the standard 2261 01:24:51,888 --> 01:24:53,624 because it frames everything. 2262 01:24:53,624 --> 01:24:54,959 State law does not ask. But 2263 01:24:54,959 --> 01:24:56,727 this project improves the site 2264 01:24:56,727 --> 01:24:57,428 or whether it is a nicer than 2265 01:24:57,428 --> 01:24:58,162 a warehouse to grant a 2266 01:24:58,162 --> 01:25:00,198 variance. The commission fined 2267 01:25:00,198 --> 01:25:01,499 in writing that dc boxes all 2268 01:25:01,499 --> 01:25:03,899 5, the required findings. The 2269 01:25:04,135 --> 01:25:05,168 burns entirely an applicant. 2270 01:25:05,168 --> 01:25:05,903 And if even one fighting feels 2271 01:25:05,903 --> 01:25:06,871 the variance cannot and should 2272 01:25:06,871 --> 01:25:10,471 not be granted, I address the 2273 01:25:10,942 --> 01:25:11,642 first 2. Want to be fair, but 2274 01:25:11,642 --> 01:25:12,276 what has changed because you 2275 01:25:12,276 --> 01:25:13,811 are here and have heard a 2276 01:25:13,811 --> 01:25:15,213 great deal about in the last 2 2277 01:25:15,213 --> 01:25:16,714 weeks. The applicant reduced 2278 01:25:16,714 --> 01:25:18,140 their plan from 3 buildings 2279 01:25:18,140 --> 01:25:19,584 after 2, they brought the 2280 01:25:19,584 --> 01:25:21,685 power usage down from 78 to 15 2281 01:25:21,685 --> 01:25:24,589 and for the first time mention 2282 01:25:24,589 --> 01:25:26,224 the school at all. Those are 2283 01:25:26,224 --> 01:25:26,891 real changes and we won't 2284 01:25:26,891 --> 01:25:28,826 dismiss them. But a smaller 2285 01:25:28,826 --> 01:25:29,527 version of the wrong use in 2286 01:25:29,527 --> 01:25:32,527 the wrong proceeding is still 2287 01:25:32,563 --> 01:25:33,297 the wrong thing. And none of 2288 01:25:33,297 --> 01:25:33,998 these changes answers findings 2289 01:25:33,998 --> 01:25:34,699 that the law actually 2290 01:25:34,699 --> 01:25:37,699 requires. That's what I want 2291 01:25:38,303 --> 01:25:39,470 to show you. Finding one state 2292 01:25:39,470 --> 01:25:41,172 of the use will not be 2293 01:25:41,172 --> 01:25:41,873 injurious to public health and 2294 01:25:41,873 --> 01:25:42,573 safety. The applicant cannot 2295 01:25:42,573 --> 01:25:43,708 show that and the record its 2296 01:25:43,708 --> 01:25:44,442 officers. You why start with 2297 01:25:44,442 --> 01:25:47,442 the noise that we've discussed 2298 01:25:48,450 --> 01:25:49,814 today. The sound study in the 2299 01:25:49,814 --> 01:25:50,848 record is one of 10 megawatt 2300 01:25:50,848 --> 01:25:51,482 building in Atlanta. One 5th, 2301 01:25:51,482 --> 01:25:54,850 the time the size of the 2302 01:25:54,850 --> 01:25:54,785 proposed site in Indianapolis. 2303 01:25:54,785 --> 01:25:56,153 That study does not tell you 2304 01:25:56,153 --> 01:25:58,289 what will happen next or 2305 01:25:58,289 --> 01:25:58,890 school. It is the same 2306 01:25:58,890 --> 01:25:59,691 undersized comparison. 2307 01:25:59,691 --> 01:26:00,358 Applicant used as its 2308 01:26:00,358 --> 01:26:02,358 Huntsville facility, which 2309 01:26:02,628 --> 01:26:05,280 they open art conversations 2310 01:26:05,464 --> 01:26:06,164 with. And again, just 2311 01:26:06,164 --> 01:26:08,164 incomparable comparisons that 2312 01:26:10,335 --> 01:26:11,680 they're trying to make. 2313 01:26:11,680 --> 01:26:11,904 Applicant now points to a berm 2314 01:26:11,904 --> 01:26:12,638 to landscaping, to placing 2315 01:26:12,638 --> 01:26:14,940 building to between itself and 2316 01:26:14,940 --> 01:26:15,741 the generators in the school. 2317 01:26:15,741 --> 01:26:16,408 But the noise that matters 2318 01:26:16,408 --> 01:26:19,408 here is low frequency noise 2319 01:26:19,978 --> 01:26:20,645 and the low frequency noise is 2320 01:26:20,645 --> 01:26:23,450 not meaningfully stopped by 2321 01:26:23,810 --> 01:26:24,182 trees or building wall, a 2322 01:26:24,182 --> 01:26:26,751 rebuttal in the second in the 2323 01:26:26,751 --> 01:26:27,486 record explains exactly why. 2324 01:26:27,486 --> 01:26:30,486 And the 65 just perfect that's 2325 01:26:30,489 --> 01:26:31,189 been discussed today, measured 2326 01:26:31,189 --> 01:26:34,193 at the property line has not 2327 01:26:34,193 --> 01:26:34,927 been independently verified. 2328 01:26:34,927 --> 01:26:35,894 When we asked we've also asked 2329 01:26:35,894 --> 01:26:37,696 for the operating loss of the 2330 01:26:37,696 --> 01:26:40,232 generators to know how often 2331 01:26:40,232 --> 01:26:41,990 their run and if they're only 2332 01:26:41,990 --> 01:26:42,534 run during emergency use, we 2333 01:26:42,534 --> 01:26:45,534 were not provided those logs 2334 01:26:45,837 --> 01:26:46,506 at all. You just heard minutes 2335 01:26:46,506 --> 01:26:47,106 ago, they're asking you to 2336 01:26:47,106 --> 01:26:47,839 take all of the noise, 2337 01:26:47,839 --> 01:26:50,109 commitments on faith and faith 2338 01:26:50,109 --> 01:26:50,776 alone. The harm is also 2339 01:26:50,776 --> 01:26:51,476 understated because nothing 2340 01:26:51,476 --> 01:26:53,278 actually limits how the site 2341 01:26:53,278 --> 01:26:55,847 will be run. You've heard of 2342 01:26:55,847 --> 01:26:57,882 Co multiple times edge note 2343 01:26:57,882 --> 01:26:59,510 facility that's marketing 2344 01:26:59,510 --> 01:26:59,751 labels. That's nothing. That 2345 01:26:59,751 --> 01:27:00,452 doesn't mean anything that 2346 01:27:00,452 --> 01:27:02,852 doesn't restrict anything or 2347 01:27:03,822 --> 01:27:04,488 any use for the facility. 2348 01:27:04,488 --> 01:27:05,190 There's no to restrict how 2349 01:27:05,190 --> 01:27:05,924 these 86 will operate without 2350 01:27:05,924 --> 01:27:07,326 restricting the resources that 2351 01:27:07,326 --> 01:27:09,962 they require to operate and to 2352 01:27:09,962 --> 01:27:11,960 fix. This is very simple. We 2353 01:27:11,960 --> 01:27:12,831 can cap the site at 15 2354 01:27:12,831 --> 01:27:14,900 megawatts and limit the power 2355 01:27:14,900 --> 01:27:16,603 to any individual rocket. 15 2356 01:27:16,603 --> 01:27:17,302 kilowatts. Most importantly, 2357 01:27:17,302 --> 01:27:20,206 those restrictions and to be 2358 01:27:20,206 --> 01:27:21,373 written in the commitments. 2359 01:27:21,373 --> 01:27:22,475 Then we talk about the 2360 01:27:22,475 --> 01:27:24,875 generators even down to 31 2361 01:27:25,177 --> 01:27:28,177 after the proposed 55 or so 2362 01:27:29,115 --> 01:27:29,782 diesel generators the 2363 01:27:29,782 --> 01:27:30,515 commitments now worry that 2364 01:27:30,515 --> 01:27:32,850 they're only allowed to use in 2365 01:27:32,850 --> 01:27:32,752 an emergency use, but that 2366 01:27:32,752 --> 01:27:35,152 emergencies is not clearly 2367 01:27:39,626 --> 01:27:41,461 defined. The way it reads. 2368 01:27:41,461 --> 01:27:42,161 Now, nothing stops from 2369 01:27:42,161 --> 01:27:45,640 running during school day to 2370 01:27:45,640 --> 01:27:45,931 relieve great stress for 2371 01:27:45,931 --> 01:27:46,633 financial gain.

And the 2387 01:28:09,722 --> 01:28:10,890 construction will disturb that 2388 01:28:10,890 --> 01:28:12,580 soil right next to the 2389 01:28:12,580 --> 01:28:12,992 children. A record like that 2390 01:28:12,992 --> 01:28:16,592 is the opposite of a clean 2391 01:28:17,530 --> 01:28:18,231 showing on health and safety. 2392 01:28:18,231 --> 01:28:19,640 Finding 2 states that use and 2393 01:28:19,640 --> 01:28:19,666 value the adjacent area will 2394 01:28:19,666 --> 01:28:22,660 not be substantially or 2395 01:28:23,203 --> 01:28:23,903 adversely affect him.

I 3224 01:52:26,898 --> 01:52:29,367 also did it in active 3225 01:52:29,367 --> 01:52:30,968 construction zone in Atlanta. 3226 01:52:30,968 --> 01:52:33,305 And I also didn't back here at 3227 01:52:33,305 --> 01:52:33,971 my house. I did at Lincoln 3228 01:52:33,971 --> 01:52:34,572 School and I did it in the 3229 01:52:34,572 --> 01:52:36,972 active area without the 3230 01:52:37,441 --> 01:52:38,109 development. What I was able 3231 01:52:38,109 --> 01:52:39,577 to find by learning through 3232 01:52:39,577 --> 01:52:43,177 that experience is that on the 3233 01:52:45,116 --> 01:52:45,816 meter itself? A day in my 3234 01:52:45,816 --> 01:52:47,318 backyard on a Saturday and I 3235 01:52:47,318 --> 01:52:49,153 live in a regular suburban 3236 01:52:49,153 --> 01:52:50,870 neighborhood on a day a 3237 01:52:50,870 --> 01:52:52,590 Saturday night in my backyard. 3238 01:52:52,590 --> 01:52:53,224 It was 58 decibels. Birds 3239 01:52:53,224 --> 01:52:55,326 chirp and kids playing to 3240 01:52:55,326 --> 01:52:58,863 those sorts of things. So when 3241 01:52:58,863 --> 01:52:59,864 I went to the site itself, it 3242 01:52:59,864 --> 01:53:02,660 was up to 70 75 decibels. What 3243 01:53:02,660 --> 01:53:06,266 I want to the school. It was 3244 01:53:08,105 --> 01:53:08,739 65. At the time. I had a 3245 01:53:08,739 --> 01:53:09,307 business before the sound 3246 01:53:09,307 --> 01:53:09,974 studies came out. The 3247 01:53:09,974 --> 01:53:10,675 conclusion that, wow, it's 3248 01:53:10,675 --> 01:53:12,143 gonna be really hard. Just to 3249 01:53:12,143 --> 01:53:14,178 hit 65 again. Chief decibel 3250 01:53:14,178 --> 01:53:14,879 meters. But I tell you this 3251 01:53:14,879 --> 01:53:15,580 story because I'm I'm putting 3252 01:53:15,580 --> 01:53:16,747 in the work to try and learn 3253 01:53:16,747 --> 01:53:19,747 about the development on the 3254 01:53:20,985 --> 01:53:23,521 impact. Also put up to very 3255 01:53:23,521 --> 01:53:24,222 long memos that I submitted 3256 01:53:24,222 --> 01:53:25,356 prior to the hearing examiner 3257 01:53:25,356 --> 01:53:29,327 that you all had for a long 3258 01:53:29,327 --> 01:53:30,895 time now. And that was a lot 3259 01:53:30,895 --> 01:53:32,163 of finding that I looked into 3260 01:53:32,163 --> 01:53:32,864 2 main things. The primary 3261 01:53:32,864 --> 01:53:35,867 thing was the site itself and 3262 01:53:35,867 --> 01:53:36,735 where it sits as well as the 3263 01:53:36,735 --> 01:53:37,468 school's relation to that, 3264 01:53:37,468 --> 01:53:40,338 because I think there's 2 main 3265 01:53:40,338 --> 01:53:41,720 things that are probably the 3266 01:53:41,720 --> 01:53:43,341 highest objection here. One is 3267 01:53:43,341 --> 01:53:43,975 the school to is the noise. I 3268 01:53:43,975 --> 01:53:44,509 think the noise has been 3269 01:53:44,509 --> 01:53:45,877 settled through the 3270 01:53:45,877 --> 01:53:47,613 conversations I've had with 3271 01:53:47,613 --> 01:53:49,810 how they're going get a lot of 3272 01:53:49,810 --> 01:53:49,781 that. The school on the other 3273 01:53:49,781 --> 01:53:52,651 hand, I think it was approved 3274 01:53:52,651 --> 01:53:53,919 for the recent changes to 3275 01:53:53,919 --> 01:53:56,621 eliminate a building and moved 3276 01:53:56,621 --> 01:53:57,623 back even farther 800 feet 3277 01:53:57,623 --> 01:53:58,323 away. But what was most 3278 01:53:58,323 --> 01:53:59,240 important in those memos? And 3279 01:53:59,240 --> 01:54:01,560 I want to make sure I say for 3280 01:54:01,560 --> 01:54:04,560 the record. Is that that 3281 01:54:05,970 --> 01:54:05,797 school moved in in when the 3282 01:54:05,797 --> 01:54:09,397 forward Vist tm plant was in 3283 01:54:09,501 --> 01:54:10,202 Operation. And so it didn't 3284 01:54:10,202 --> 01:54:11,270 move. The school didn't come 3285 01:54:11,270 --> 01:54:11,970 when it was all Greenfield. 3286 01:54:11,970 --> 01:54:13,672 Nothing else there. They knew 3287 01:54:13,672 --> 01:54:16,672 when they moved into that 3288 01:54:17,342 --> 01:54:19,244 location that it's next to an 3289 01:54:19,244 --> 01:54:19,945 industrial area. And there I 3290 01:54:19,945 --> 01:54:20,611 mean, that that unity medals, 3291 01:54:20,611 --> 01:54:21,480 that the Kroger Bakery, all 3292 01:54:21,480 --> 01:54:24,249 those things were there when 3293 01:54:24,249 --> 01:54:27,849 that school moved in and going 3294 01:54:27,953 --> 01:54:29,187 back to the current petition 3295 01:54:29,187 --> 01:54:31,155 what's coming in now and what 3296 01:54:31,155 --> 01:54:35,355 I've seen on site is a very 3297 01:54:35,527 --> 01:54:36,194 benign structure. My gut 3298 01:54:36,194 --> 01:54:36,895 feeling when I walked up to 3299 01:54:36,895 --> 01:54:40,432 this thing, I looked at them 3300 01:54:40,432 --> 01:54:42,734 and I said this is it. This is 3301 01:54:42,734 --> 01:54:44,336 the building. I walked inside 3302 01:54:44,336 --> 01:54:45,370 the building and and it is 3303 01:54:45,370 --> 01:54:46,705 really an edge note facility. 3304 01:54:46,705 --> 01:54:47,607 There is no doubt about that. 3305 01:54:47,607 --> 01:54:51,376 And I tell you this from a 3306 01:54:51,376 --> 01:54:52,210 position of expertise. I've 3307 01:54:52,210 --> 01:54:52,879 worked in it for my entire 3308 01:54:52,879 --> 01:54:53,546 career. I have a degree in 3309 01:54:53,546 --> 01:54:55,946 programming. I have another 3310 01:54:56,982 --> 01:54:57,849 degree in it. I am expert in 3311 01:54:57,849 --> 01:54:59,719 the field. I've toward 3312 01:54:59,719 --> 01:55:01,719 multiple datacenters outside 3313 01:55:01,921 --> 01:55:02,922 of this one and other 3314 01:55:02,922 --> 01:55:05,910 petitions. I've toward data 3315 01:55:05,910 --> 01:55:06,992 center factories. I'm very 3316 01:55:06,992 --> 01:55:07,593 fun. A fluent to what is going 3317 01:55:07,593 --> 01:55:10,593 on with these types of 3318 01:55:12,365 --> 01:55:13,333 developments. Inside the data 3319 01:55:13,333 --> 01:55:15,733 center itself. I was 3320 01:55:16,200 --> 01:55:17,804 registering 65 decibels. And 3321 01:55:17,804 --> 01:55:18,504 why it's an edge. No 3322 01:55:18,504 --> 01:55:20,607 facilities. Because this is a 3323 01:55:20,607 --> 01:55:22,709 co-location again, not a hyper 3324 01:55:22,709 --> 01:55:23,443 scalers the way they designed 3325 01:55:23,443 --> 01:55:25,812 the building is on the 3326 01:55:25,812 --> 01:55:28,513 perimeter of it is where we 3327 01:55:28,513 --> 01:55:29,215 have the where they have the 3328 01:55:29,215 --> 01:55:29,849 infrastructure where they're 3329 01:55:29,849 --> 01:55:30,917 bringing in the fiber and 3330 01:55:30,917 --> 01:55:31,584 creating that redundancy for 3331 01:55:31,584 --> 01:55:32,719 any particular user in the 3332 01:55:32,719 --> 01:55:35,719 center of that building. Very 3333 01:55:37,390 --> 01:55:38,424 unique design. They are 3334 01:55:38,424 --> 01:55:40,526 providing redundancy on fiber 3335 01:55:40,526 --> 01:55:41,194 optic networks by having that 3336 01:55:41,194 --> 01:55:43,194 perimeter operations inside 3337 01:55:48,100 --> 01:55:48,736 the building. As I look 3338 01:55:48,736 --> 01:55:49,301 through this and this process, 3339 01:55:49,301 --> 01:55:50,270 I've taken things 3340 01:55:50,270 --> 01:55:52,670 consideration like the noise, 3341 01:55:53,773 --> 01:55:55,241 the dust you know, I've been 3342 01:55:55,241 --> 01:55:56,740 here through the entire 3343 01:55:56,740 --> 01:55:57,810 development of Thunder bird 3344 01:55:57,810 --> 01:55:59,112 from monarch to where it is 3345 01:55:59,112 --> 01:56:01,512 now. And there's been 0. 3346 01:56:03,383 --> 01:56:04,317 Vermont runs for dust. Not on 3347 01:56:04,317 --> 01:56:06,286 dandy, not on Monarch 3348 01:56:06,286 --> 01:56:06,886 Logistics facility. Not not 3349 01:56:06,886 --> 01:56:09,886 win. Even Louth was was 3350 01:56:10,156 --> 01:56:11,926 preparing the site 0 3351 01:56:11,926 --> 01:56:14,326 Remonstrance and I'm I'm 3352 01:56:14,495 --> 01:56:15,428 convinced that the the the 3353 01:56:15,428 --> 01:56:17,731 main issue here is just the 3354 01:56:17,731 --> 01:56:18,432 name data center, right? It's 3355 01:56:18,432 --> 01:56:20,701 it's a lot of the unknown of 3356 01:56:20,701 --> 01:56:21,368 what it actually is going on 3357 01:56:21,368 --> 01:56:23,768 inside that building inside 3358 01:56:24,904 --> 01:56:25,539 the building is. Service 3359 01:56:25,539 --> 01:56:28,539 servers are all over the 3360 01:56:28,909 --> 01:56:29,610 place. I mean, we've got a man 3361 01:56:29,610 --> 01:56:31,579 business operations. They are 3362 01:56:31,579 --> 01:56:33,313 required for our daily lives 3363 01:56:33,313 --> 01:56:33,980 of this at this point, 3364 01:56:33,980 --> 01:56:36,950 operation of how we we live 3365 01:56:36,950 --> 01:56:40,321 in, we work. With that last 3366 01:56:40,321 --> 01:56:41,354 piece that I look at is. The 3367 01:56:41,354 --> 01:56:42,220 commitment back to the 3368 01:56:42,220 --> 01:56:43,991 community. What is this gif 3369 01:56:43,991 --> 01:56:46,894 with this really going? What 3370 01:56:46,894 --> 01:56:47,760 would provide benefits one? 3371 01:56:47,760 --> 01:56:48,429 You know, there's been the 3372 01:56:48,429 --> 01:56:50,829 complaint about there's not 3373 01:56:51,799 --> 01:56:52,499 enough jobs. Listen, this 3374 01:56:52,499 --> 01:56:54,899 entire site development, not 3375 01:56:55,836 --> 01:56:56,503 just one site.

Staff support 3622 02:04:35,434 --> 02:04:39,400 system. Reason why is what it 3623 02:04:39,400 --> 02:04:40,840 does is it it decreases the 3624 02:04:40,840 --> 02:04:43,840 amount of hard surface and 3625 02:04:44,577 --> 02:04:45,879 pavement that is required and 3626 02:04:45,879 --> 02:04:46,513 it increases them land that 3627 02:04:46,513 --> 02:04:49,490 can be used for different 3628 02:04:49,490 --> 02:04:51,449 other different uses, which 3629 02:04:51,718 --> 02:04:53,718 would include buffering 3630 02:04:53,719 --> 02:04:55,989 transitional yards and maybe 3631 02:04:55,989 --> 02:04:56,656 some other industrial uses. 3632 02:04:56,656 --> 02:04:59,125 And for for those reasons, 3633 02:04:59,125 --> 02:05:00,961 staff is recommending approval 3634 02:05:00,961 --> 02:05:01,595 of that development statement 3635 02:05:01,595 --> 02:05:03,995 and reduction of parking 3636 02:05:07,000 --> 02:05:09,690 spaces. The other part of the 3637 02:05:09,690 --> 02:05:09,936 variance request relates to a 3638 02:05:09,936 --> 02:05:10,770 variance of use. And you've 3639 02:05:10,770 --> 02:05:12,806 heard a lot about that. And 3640 02:05:12,806 --> 02:05:15,806 that's the 5 criteria that is 3641 02:05:18,511 --> 02:05:19,145 required. To prove the 3642 02:05:19,145 --> 02:05:22,145 variants of you should be 3643 02:05:23,617 --> 02:05:24,351 granted. The first one talks 3644 02:05:24,351 --> 02:05:26,620 about the public health safety 3645 02:05:26,620 --> 02:05:29,200 and general welfare general, 3646 02:05:31,910 --> 02:05:31,758 where fit welfare staff 3647 02:05:31,758 --> 02:05:32,424 believes that the proposed 3648 02:05:32,424 --> 02:05:34,824 commitments that have been 3649 02:05:34,861 --> 02:05:35,528 submitted and they have been 3650 02:05:35,528 --> 02:05:39,128 ended a number of times to 3651 02:05:39,199 --> 02:05:40,834 respond to. Concerns have been 3652 02:05:40,834 --> 02:05:41,668 raised directly, regulate 3653 02:05:41,668 --> 02:05:42,569 those operational 3654 02:05:42,569 --> 02:05:44,969 characteristics of the data 3655 02:05:45,805 --> 02:05:47,340 center. The campus. That 3656 02:05:47,340 --> 02:05:49,340 includes Sojourner 8 are 3657 02:05:50,911 --> 02:05:51,578 testing hours. The sound level 3658 02:05:51,578 --> 02:05:53,280 and the buffering of the 3659 02:05:53,280 --> 02:05:55,680 screening that they are 3660 02:05:56,950 --> 02:05:58,653 providing as well as 3661 02:05:58,653 --> 02:06:01,530 insulating those generators to 3662 02:06:01,923 --> 02:06:04,323 minimize the sound. They've 3663 02:06:05,560 --> 02:06:06,920 also committed to 2 finding or 3664 02:06:06,920 --> 02:06:08,920 funding electrical 3665 02:06:11,298 --> 02:06:12,300 infrastructure. And that would 3666 02:06:12,300 --> 02:06:15,300 ensure the associated cost not 3667 02:06:15,836 --> 02:06:18,139 borne by local rate payers. 3668 02:06:18,139 --> 02:06:19,874 They also provided and 3669 02:06:19,874 --> 02:06:20,575 conducted the trip generation. 3670 02:06:20,575 --> 02:06:22,109 And again, this gets back to 3671 02:06:22,109 --> 02:06:24,177 the use as a data center that 3672 02:06:24,177 --> 02:06:27,177 when it is completed, there's 3673 02:06:27,415 --> 02:06:30,918 going to be fewer. Trips to 3674 02:06:30,918 --> 02:06:32,453 that data center. There are 3675 02:06:32,453 --> 02:06:33,421 fewer employees. There would 3676 02:06:33,421 --> 02:06:34,755 be security there with the 3677 02:06:34,755 --> 02:06:35,423 technical people. There would 3678 02:06:35,423 --> 02:06:37,423 be maintenance. Basically. 3679 02:06:38,580 --> 02:06:38,793 Those are the 3 categories of 3680 02:06:38,793 --> 02:06:42,393 people that will going to this 3681 02:06:46,100 --> 02:06:46,801 data center. And as has been 3682 02:06:46,801 --> 02:06:49,201 mentioned, watch has happened 3683 02:06:50,337 --> 02:06:52,341 when with this reduction is 3684 02:06:52,341 --> 02:06:53,410 this now 72% reduction in the 3685 02:06:53,410 --> 02:06:56,410 total daily trips that would 3686 02:06:57,845 --> 02:07:01,282 be going to this site 7 also 3687 02:07:01,282 --> 02:07:04,282 and with that staff would 3688 02:07:05,386 --> 02:07:06,120 notice that. Traffic that is 3689 02:07:06,120 --> 02:07:08,656 going to be generated is going 3690 02:07:08,656 --> 02:07:11,125 to be more internal. Tale 3691 02:07:11,125 --> 02:07:14,128 drive is a private street and 3692 02:07:14,128 --> 02:07:16,265 it access is from English 3693 02:07:16,265 --> 02:07:18,633 Avenue. So most of the traffic 3694 02:07:18,633 --> 02:07:21,360 it's going to be from English 3695 02:07:21,360 --> 02:07:24,360 Avenue into Fentayl Drive. So 3696 02:07:25,140 --> 02:07:25,840 the impact of the traffic by 3697 02:07:25,840 --> 02:07:28,840 this development is going to 3698 02:07:32,580 --> 02:07:33,615 be minimal. Staff. Also 3699 02:07:33,615 --> 02:07:34,616 believes again that watch has 3700 02:07:34,616 --> 02:07:37,160 been proposes terms of 3701 02:07:38,787 --> 02:07:40,289 commitments does protect. Does 3702 02:07:40,289 --> 02:07:41,890 not create any unregulated or 3703 02:07:41,890 --> 02:07:44,290 unchecked impact on public 3704 02:07:51,233 --> 02:07:52,633 health. On adjacent property 3705 02:07:52,633 --> 02:07:54,469 impacts again, there's been a 3706 02:07:54,469 --> 02:07:55,203 lot of discussion about this, 3707 02:07:55,203 --> 02:07:57,706 the school. And I just like to 3708 02:07:57,706 --> 02:07:59,708 mention that the Pence he 3709 02:07:59,708 --> 02:08:01,510 trail it separates this 3710 02:08:01,510 --> 02:08:03,579 property from the school and 3711 02:08:03,579 --> 02:08:04,947 that Pence, the trail is 80 3712 02:08:04,947 --> 02:08:06,848 feet wide. And then there's 3713 02:08:06,848 --> 02:08:09,248 also that buffering. There's 3714 02:08:09,351 --> 02:08:11,751 easement along that northern 3715 02:08:11,954 --> 02:08:12,654 portion of that and then has 3716 02:08:12,654 --> 02:08:13,789 been mention those buildings 3717 02:08:13,789 --> 02:08:14,523 are going to be south of that. 3718 02:08:14,523 --> 02:08:18,293 So there's going to be a total 3719 02:08:18,293 --> 02:08:20,693 of 800 and 17th approximately 3720 02:08:21,630 --> 02:08:21,697 817 treat separation from the 3721 02:08:21,697 --> 02:08:24,970 protected district to the 3722 02:08:28,870 --> 02:08:29,538 North. Staff are also again, 3723 02:08:29,538 --> 02:08:30,205 about the traffic and where 3724 02:08:30,205 --> 02:08:33,205 that's going to how that's 3725 02:08:35,544 --> 02:08:36,211 going to be handled. The 3726 02:08:36,211 --> 02:08:36,879 uniqueness of the property. 3727 02:08:36,879 --> 02:08:39,514 And again, it gets back to 3728 02:08:39,514 --> 02:08:42,514 this is redevelopment of the 3729 02:08:42,751 --> 02:08:45,751 property that was. Was used 3730 02:08:45,754 --> 02:08:48,154 for heavy manufacturing over 3731 02:08:48,323 --> 02:08:50,723 272 acres years ago and 3732 02:08:52,362 --> 02:08:53,620 because of that. How it was 3733 02:08:53,620 --> 02:08:55,632 has been developed and how it 3734 02:08:55,632 --> 02:08:58,320 has now. Return to 3735 02:08:59,903 --> 02:09:00,636 redevelopment of that. It 3736 02:09:00,636 --> 02:09:04,236 creates an issue because it is 3737 02:09:04,841 --> 02:09:06,841 being. Discussed about 3738 02:09:06,976 --> 02:09:08,440 industrial uses. And we and 3739 02:09:08,440 --> 02:09:11,440 been mentioned that a data 3740 02:09:11,314 --> 02:09:12,150 center does not really have a 3741 02:09:12,150 --> 02:09:13,516 definition in our ordinance. 3742 02:09:13,516 --> 02:09:14,918 And they're working on that 3743 02:09:14,918 --> 02:09:16,190 right now. So Steph police 3744 02:09:16,190 --> 02:09:19,190 because of that, that creates 3745 02:09:19,622 --> 02:09:22,458 a unique situation. Seth also 3746 02:09:22,458 --> 02:09:23,560 believes that the data center 3747 02:09:23,560 --> 02:09:26,729 based upon what we know is 3748 02:09:26,729 --> 02:09:27,397 would be considered a light 3749 02:09:27,397 --> 02:09:30,397 industrial use, maybe and I 3750 02:09:32,101 --> 02:09:34,137 won or night too. Property is 3751 02:09:34,137 --> 02:09:36,720 owned by 3 and the 3752 02:09:36,720 --> 02:09:38,720 comprehensive plan recommends 3753 02:09:38,740 --> 02:09:38,741 heavy industrial so staff 3754 02:09:38,741 --> 02:09:41,741 again, I'm jumping to that 3755 02:09:45,415 --> 02:09:46,281 fift. Criteria. Staff believes 3756 02:09:46,281 --> 02:09:47,917 that issues as it has been 3757 02:09:47,917 --> 02:09:49,986 defined and how it is being 3758 02:09:49,986 --> 02:09:50,787 presented today is come is 3759 02:09:50,787 --> 02:09:52,221 consistent with the 3760 02:09:52,221 --> 02:09:52,922 comprehensive plan of heavy 3761 02:09:52,922 --> 02:09:55,322 industrial. There's also been 3762 02:09:55,358 --> 02:09:58,958 a mention of the over the 3763 02:09:59,996 --> 02:10:02,396 overlay of an industrial. 3764 02:10:03,132 --> 02:10:04,000 Industrial over life, which 3765 02:10:04,000 --> 02:10:04,735 then again, Seth believes is 3766 02:10:04,735 --> 02:10:07,135 consistent with being proposed 3767 02:10:08,771 --> 02:10:10,741 here. The unnecessary 3768 02:10:10,741 --> 02:10:12,842 hardship, the staff talks 3769 02:10:12,842 --> 02:10:13,844 about in the Senate and the 3770 02:10:13,844 --> 02:10:16,212 report is the again, the 3771 02:10:16,212 --> 02:10:17,481 absence of a listed use as a 3772 02:10:17,481 --> 02:10:21,810 data center. As we know this 3773 02:10:21,785 --> 02:10:24,121 is you said has recently been 3774 02:10:24,121 --> 02:10:26,521 brought forth in the 3775 02:10:28,580 --> 02:10:28,592 forefront. And I I understand 3776 02:10:28,592 --> 02:10:29,193 there's some other 3777 02:10:29,193 --> 02:10:30,761 jurisdictions that are 3778 02:10:30,761 --> 02:10:31,495 struggling with the same thing 3779 02:10:31,495 --> 02:10:33,330 that we are struggling here in 3780 02:10:33,330 --> 02:10:36,930 terms of defining it and where 3781 02:10:37,367 --> 02:10:38,350 it is appropriate. But again, 3782 02:10:38,350 --> 02:10:41,350 staff believes that is an 3783 02:10:41,705 --> 02:10:43,700 unnecessary heart hardship. So 3784 02:10:43,700 --> 02:10:44,410 for these reasons, staff is 3785 02:10:44,410 --> 02:10:45,776 recommending approval of this. 3786 02:10:45,776 --> 02:10:48,450 However, before I close, I 3787 02:10:48,450 --> 02:10:48,746 would like to get back to the 3788 02:10:48,746 --> 02:10:51,146 comment by Commissioner Lyle 3789 02:10:52,249 --> 02:10:56,449 relative to. The one to get my 3790 02:10:58,656 --> 02:11:00,557 notes Budgeting some money. An 3791 02:11:00,557 --> 02:11:01,325 annual budget. 2 for the 3792 02:11:01,325 --> 02:11:03,725 removal when this is 3793 02:11:04,994 --> 02:11:06,994 decommissioned. Staff would 3794 02:11:08,499 --> 02:11:11,735 also like to add to that is it 3795 02:11:11,735 --> 02:11:14,438 needs part of that should be 3796 02:11:14,438 --> 02:11:14,906 and environmental remediation. 3797 02:11:14,906 --> 02:11:17,306 As part of that 3798 02:11:17,808 --> 02:11:18,442 decommissioning plan. And 3799 02:11:18,442 --> 02:11:20,842 again, you know, setting 3800 02:11:21,979 --> 02:11:24,979 aside. Some type of annual 3801 02:11:27,352 --> 02:11:29,253 budget for that. But then 3802 02:11:29,253 --> 02:11:31,155 staff would like to have some 3803 02:11:31,155 --> 02:11:33,570 clear tight numbers on how 3804 02:11:33,570 --> 02:11:33,624 much that would be rather than 3805 02:11:33,624 --> 02:11:36,240 just making a blanket 3806 02:11:37,194 --> 02:11:37,896 statement. But then again. 3807 02:11:37,896 --> 02:11:38,596 Staff would be glad to answer 3808 02:11:38,596 --> 02:11:41,596 any questions to my questions 3809 02:11:42,466 --> 02:11:44,466 for staff. Commissioner 3810 02:11:45,570 --> 02:11:47,872 Shurmur 2 weeks ago, we passed 3811 02:11:47,872 --> 02:11:49,174 petition that went on to the 3812 02:11:49,174 --> 02:11:51,574 council that regulations for 3813 02:11:51,710 --> 02:11:53,310 for data centers as we were 3814 02:11:53,310 --> 02:11:54,579 trying to play catch-up on the 3815 02:11:54,579 --> 02:11:55,313 whole situation. Yes. How 3816 02:11:55,313 --> 02:11:56,681 would you can that as an apply 3817 02:11:56,681 --> 02:11:58,717 to this case? Because this was 3818 02:11:58,717 --> 02:12:00,585 already in the pipeline, but 3819 02:12:00,585 --> 02:12:02,754 that is coming out.
