I don't know how many more victims are out there. 45 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:44,440 There could be many. We are We are victims 46 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:48,600 of Mike Italia and his outfit, uh Barry 47 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:53,680 Isaac. They are in 48 00:03:49,959 --> 00:03:58,080 They are in contract to uphold our ordinance. 49 00:03:54,960 --> 00:04:04,160 Mike Italia did not. Because he did not, 50 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:08,360 all two of my neighbors had to get surveys for somebody else's fence that 51 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:12,520 they had no desire to get. 52 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:17,560 I'll tell you the first person first. Uh my neighbor on the side 53 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:20,160 actually witnessed Mike Italia approving these 54 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:25,440 nails that were in the ground which were not monuments or pins, iron pins that he 55 00:04:22,840 --> 00:04:30,040 knew he had to he had to witness. He went They witnessed Mike Italia 56 00:04:27,919 --> 00:04:35,520 approving these. The neighbor immediately went to Mike 57 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:38,320 Italia and said, "This These nails are wrong 58 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:41,040 and I am um 59 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:45,720 contesting this this survey. 60 00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:50,600 It needs a new survey." They assumed that Mike Italia would 61 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:54,640 insist on getting a survey, but he never did. 62 00:04:52,280 --> 00:04:58,440 After the fence was put up, Mike that same neighbor got a survey, paid a 63 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:03,120 thousand dollar over a thousand dollars for it, and it turns out she was correct 64 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:07,440 and Mike Italia was wrong. Why he ever 65 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:11,000 he ever accepted nails instead of the required pins or monuments, I do not 66 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:15,320 know. The neighbor in the back, 67 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:19,840 nice young couple, I'm friendly with them. They uh 68 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:24,720 came home one day and there was a string across their backyard right where these 69 00:05:22,280 --> 00:05:29,200 nails were that Mike Italia accepted as a survey. 70 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:32,560 The husband says, "This can't be right. I know they're wrong." The wife says, 71 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,840 "We don't have a thousand dollars. We're saving for the kids' college fund and 72 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:39,000 everything else. We can't just throw away a thousand 73 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:42,800 dollars." She says, "It's wrong. We got to do something about it now." 74 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:46,280 So, before the fence was put up, they got their own survey. Turns out what 75 00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:50,960 Mike Italia you was a foot and a half off. 76 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:54,000 If they didn't get a survey, Mike Italia and my neighbor would have stole a foot 77 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:58,320 and a half of their property for the whole length of it. 78 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:02,240 Um I tried to ask Mike Italia why he didn't ask for a survey, but Mike Italia 79 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:07,640 played the fifth. I'm not asking about his pronouns. 80 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:12,520 I'm not asking about who killed JFK. I'm just asking him questions about what 81 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:16,720 he's paid to do and paid well. Do you know that Barry I said 82 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:20,720 robbed the freaking Township of Lower Southampton for $320,000 83 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,360 last year? >> Thank you, Mr. Stevens. We appreciate 84 00:06:22,280 --> 00:06:25,760 that. >> Was that the 10-minute warning? 85 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:28,800 » That was the 10-second warning. This is the 3 minutes. 86 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,919 » Oh, I didn't hear it. Sorry. >> Thank you very much. 87 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:34,200 » Thank you. >> Is there anyone else who like to come up 88 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:37,440 and comment? Sir, come on up. 89 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:40,840 State your name and your write down your address in the book. 90 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:50,400 » Hello. Um my name is [clears throat] uh Tim Hunt. I reside at 67 Henry Avenue. I 91 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:55,320 would like to thank everyone for putting out the rumble strips. Um 92 00:06:53,040 --> 00:07:00,520 I'm not one for standing in public up here, but they're not working. 93 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:05,560 Uh people are not slowing down. And I was wondering if uh maybe we could 94 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:08,240 do something else. Maybe there's speed bumps or 95 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:13,320 more signs. I don't know. But uh 96 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,800 I just want to say thanks. That's all I got. 97 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,960 » Is that your son? >> I yes, my son Tim. 98 00:07:15,919 --> 00:07:18,480 » all the more reason we're going to fix it. 99 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,040 » Yeah. What's that? >> It's all the more reason we're going to 100 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,720 fix it. >> All right, thank you. 101 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:26,720 » Thank you, sir. >> And I have had a lot of feedback and I 102 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:30,640 think we were waiting cuz it was a pilot program. So we wanted to give it a few 103 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:35,000 months. And then I think what we're going to do is um survey the neighbors 104 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:40,320 again um to see if they would support speed 105 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:45,000 bumps. I don't know who sent kind of like the same letter we sent 106 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:50,760 about the rumble strips. Um and I know um the chief has been 107 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:53,680 proactive at putting um officers on your street as well. 108 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:57,400 » the bump at one end and the other like a third third would that probably resolve 109 00:07:55,640 --> 00:08:00,640 the situation? In your opinion? >> Yeah, I think I would more of a speed 110 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:04,720 bump there. Like two. Yeah, it would really like 111 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:08,600 slow them down. Um if we do put speed bumps, maybe we 112 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:11,320 could put one towards the bottom of the hill. 113 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:15,000 Instead of in the middle of the street where the rumble strips are and maybe 114 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:18,640 like one on top. To slow them down. I mean, I'm standing out here every day 115 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:23,919 trying to slow people down. After work and that the whole street's 116 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:28,080 full of kids and they just fly and uh We just I'm like telling people to slow 117 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:31,800 down and people are telling me, you know, what? So 118 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,479 um Anything would help, I think, from this point on. 119 00:08:32,719 --> 00:08:38,200 » Thank you, Mr. Hunt. >> Thanks. 120 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:41,360 » Thanks, Timmy. I'm glad you came. >> Is there anyone else that would like to 121 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:44,680 speak? Come on up, sir. 122 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:48,160 » Good evening. How are you doing? >> Good evening. 123 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:53,560 » Uh Brad Vote, uh two Overroad. Uh to his point, my my daughter lives on 124 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:56,320 Henry Avenue and yeah, that whatever they put there in the middle of the 125 00:08:54,440 --> 00:09:01,160 street is it didn't do anything. They need to put like a uh uh you know, some 126 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:05,280 kind of and she lives at 78, so they at the bottom of the hill. So, they'd be 127 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:08,880 willing to have the uh you know, some kind of speed bump there to slow the 128 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:11,480 cars down cuz they really do fly up that street. There's a lot of 129 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:15,720 kids and there's not a lot of room. The kids come out. The most of the driveways 130 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:19,520 are sloped coming down. It's like a hazard. I mean, the cars are fly They do 131 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:22,720 fly up there. And I don't know if it's his car got hit. Somebody just got hit 132 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:26,960 the other day on that. You know, somebody sideswiped their car. So, it is 133 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:31,360 dangerous. Um I wanted to know if I'd be getting any clarity on the uh 134 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:34,480 National Federation of Housing. I thought that that agenda was coming up 135 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:38,400 when they were going to come down with a vote on that. 136 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:44,200 » The decision was issued today. I found it on my desk on the desk. 137 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:49,000 The board will have time to consider it and they'll make a decision what they're 138 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:51,760 going to do at the next meeting. And it'll be available for you to get a 139 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:55,080 copy of the decision. >> was the one outside arbitrator and that 140 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:58,520 was that was his. So, did they give you their verdict on 141 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,400 it or like just that so we >> That's what I 142 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:05,800 » Oh, they're they're not ready. >> No, what I just said. It was placed on 143 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:12,280 the desk today. It's dated It stated the Well, I think it stated 144 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:16,720 today. It just came out. It's available. You'll be able to get a copy. It's dated 145 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:21,480 August 12th. So, it's dated today. >> Well, you got it right there. What does 146 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:24,240 it any any any things it cost? It's three pages. 147 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:29,720 Uh all right. >> The point The point being, sir, is we 148 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:32,720 haven't read the decision whether whether we like it or not and we want to 149 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,680 pursue it or appeal it or we find it's just going to be detrimental to the 150 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:38,280 township by not appealing it. There's There's things got to be taken away. We 151 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:41,680 have to discuss discussion about it. It's not final. 152 00:10:39,839 --> 00:10:44,760 » Unfortunately, because of the the powers that come down that really want this, 153 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:48,600 you know, this castle to be the built here, I would hope that our township at 154 00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:51,880 least squeezes them and gets maybe sidewalks, it gets, you know, the 155 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:55,480 building be done cuz inevitably I think they have the money and I don't know 156 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:59,120 what we could do to stop this because the expansion of subsidized housing in 157 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:03,200 our township, I think, you know, somehow we got to curtail that a little bit. I 158 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:07,400 mean, uh I don't mind taxpayers moving in, people with houses that contribute 159 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:11,720 to the community, but we we you know, as I see a lot of these developments all 160 00:11:09,680 --> 00:11:15,320 coming up here and it's all going to be it's not how you're going to build like 161 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:19,960 a a solid community. Um Nothing builds, you know, people 162 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:23,200 walking around and uh again to go back to that uh spot 163 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:26,760 where they're building this place. I mean, Stevie Wonder could see that's a 164 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:31,839 terrible spot. I mean, it's terrible that that somebody could even conceive 165 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:34,760 of having a building put right there. CAN ANYBODY FIGURE OUT THAT ROAD? Does 166 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:38,400 anybody communicate like they're ripping up Brownsville Road? Is there like I'm 167 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:42,040 not a smart person, but >> would somebody realize when they repave 168 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:45,640 it and the and the pipes are 120 years old that maybe when they rip it up they 169 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:49,880 could all like get everything in in order so it would last. It seems like 170 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,800 it's just like patches. It like nobody knows what they're doing.

I believe he's represented 203 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:55,040 by counsel, gentlemen. >> Chris, you can have a seat and just 204 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:58,840 hit the button. >> Good evening. Thanks for having us. 205 00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:03,040 Jerry Klaber's is here at the the applicant, 055 Properties, but Jerry 206 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:06,000 owns it Vince is the the project engineer. I'll turn it over to him. We 207 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:10,360 looked at the resolution, we're fine with all the conditions. 208 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:14,000 » Vince, you want to give a quick explanation? 209 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,000 » Sure. 210 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:19,480 Good evening, everyone. I'm Vince Fioramonti, our firm did the 211 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:22,720 plans that are before you tonight. Um you grab that microphone there. 212 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:31,160 Thank you. I'll just keep this quick. Um it's a 213 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:35,280 10.5 acre site zoned R1, minimum lot area 20,000 square feet. 214 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:40,320 What we endeavored to do here is create a by-right plan that coordinates with 215 00:14:37,839 --> 00:14:43,680 the natural features of the property. You can see the proposed plan on the 216 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:47,560 left and the existing conditions on the right. 217 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:50,800 Um overall, you know, we have one single cul-de-sac 1,000 feet long, requires a 218 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:55,480 waiver. Um and we have 12 lots that range in 219 00:14:52,839 --> 00:14:58,160 size from 20,000 square feet to a little bit over an acre on on the end 220 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:02,520 here. Um essentially, when you look here real 221 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:07,200 quick at the existing conditions that are kind of unique to the property, we 222 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:12,360 have a railroad on the top. We have a non-residential use adjacent here. 223 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:16,640 The railroad that crosses Bristol has a very sharp overpass on Bristol Road 224 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:21,000 here, which was a concern, but it's it's perfectly safe. We've had it evaluated. 225 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:24,880 There's a drainage channel runs through the property. You can kind of see it 226 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:30,000 right here where the woodline is. That drains the residential area behind us to 227 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:34,120 the Mill Creek, but essentially a dry drainage channel. On any given day, 228 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:37,720 there's no water in it at all. When it rains, it carries water, and you can see 229 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:42,520 its location. Another unique feature of the property 230 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:47,040 is there's a gravity sewer that runs down below this channel, 231 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:50,600 you know, down downhill, and there's a force main in that same easement that 232 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:54,640 runs the other direction uphill and through Henry Avenue. So, there's a 233 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:57,480 couple of hidden utilities in there. But, taking everything into account, you 234 00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:01,360 know, there's good woodlands around it. There's nice slopes. There's elevations 235 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:05,080 here that would create nice views. So, when you look at our proposal on the 236 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:08,840 left and the existing conditions on the right, you can see that we took the road 237 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:13,440 up here. We're trying to, you know, save all the woodlands that we can. The road 238 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:17,360 up this side, we crossed at a 90° angle here, and then came up the hillside at 239 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:20,960 the top, you know, where there where there's a crest in the in the ground, 240 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:24,400 you know, with the roadway. So, we're taking the area that was already 241 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:27,520 disturbed, developing that. We're maintaining all the woodlands that 242 00:16:25,839 --> 00:16:31,800 surround us, and you can see the woodlands here. And we're buffering the 243 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:35,839 railroad and a lot of landscaping with a landscape 244 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:40,960 architect handling the stormwater. So, I think we've done a good job of 245 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:44,880 preserving the natural features that are worth preserving on the site and 246 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:48,920 utilizing them. And I think when we're finished, we're going to have a nice 247 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:52,440 upscale community that that'll be good for the area, no impact on any 248 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:57,160 other residents. We're downhill from the drainage. We're 249 00:16:54,600 --> 00:17:01,280 going to We have seven seepage beds at the uphill lots here. 250 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:05,680 We have three earthen basins to handle the road runoff. So, there's no drainage 251 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:09,400 impacts. There's no traffic impacts because we're not connecting here. 252 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:12,480 And aesthetically, there'll be no visual impacts because we're buffered, and 253 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:17,680 we've actually added a lot more buffering to the site. So, I think when 254 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:22,199 we're finished, we'll have a low traffic luxury development which have nice views 255 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:24,560 for all the dwellings and you know we appreciate the consideration 256 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,400 that and all the work and back and forth 257 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,040 we've done with all the consultants to get to this point. 258 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:33,960 » Very good. Thank you. Chris, there's one 259 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:37,720 question one of the supervisors had and that was concerning 260 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:43,077 the homeowners association. We've had some problems in the township with them 261 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,120 being proposed and not followed through. >> [snorts] 262 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,920 » Uh Well 263 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:51,080 » Like Vince can answer initially the the builder will be 264 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:54,800 responsible for funding all the escrows associated with the improvements. So 265 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:58,920 that that can't they can't even get off the ground until those are funded. Um 266 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:03,160 and as lots are sold to individual owners each of those owners will become 267 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:06,920 part of the homeowners association. Once there's the majority of 268 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:10,320 of owners involved in the association it's 269 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:15,200 officially turned over to the the homeowners to manage. But all the 270 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:17,840 funding for the requirements of the of what you're approving will be will be 271 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:23,680 funded for that matter. >> And I've I've included provisions in the 272 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:28,680 resolution that it has to be uh the documents have to be filed prior to 273 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:31,320 or or at the same time as the approved plans and that's an acceptable 274 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,880 condition. >> Absolutely and those conditions will run 275 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,120 with the land. >> Yes and 276 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:41,880 I we had several variations or revisions 277 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:47,600 of this plan and the last one was dated preparation date August 10th, 2026 at 278 00:18:45,120 --> 00:18:53,800 the bottom of the page and it starts with whereas we refer to the applicant 279 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:57,800 as 055 Properties LP. You've had a chance to review that resolution it's 280 00:18:55,880 --> 00:19:02,280 acceptable to you and your client. >> Yes. 281 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:06,280 » The board members have any questions? >> I have none. Any members of the public 282 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:09,760 have any questions? >> Just a little clarity here they've been 283 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:12,680 working on this project for years. >> 20 years. 284 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:16,320 » And uh most of the boards yes. Mr. Hunt, you 285 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,560 can come on up to the microphone. Um 286 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:21,560 » The sign again? >> No. 287 00:19:19,120 --> 00:19:21,560 » Just 288 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:27,720 Uh my question is um the storm water runoff 289 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:30,600 uh you said they have drainage ponds here at the lower end of the lot. 290 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,880 » Yes. >> Um where are they going to drain into? 291 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:37,280 » So what happens there is the drainage swale that you see on this plan 292 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,960 I can't really get it with this highlighter here. It's in especially in 293 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:43,320 this location. So and then I have a whole drainage 294 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:47,160 system here but we don't have to get into that. There There's a ridge that 295 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:50,920 runs through the property and some of the property drains to the railroad 296 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:54,760 track in this direction. The other part of it drains to this swale here. 297 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:58,720 All right, so we're controlling them both areas. The the lots on the front 298 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:02,760 they all have seepage beds in their yards. So the drainage from the 299 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:05,640 dwellings will go to the seepage beds and then it'll release into the swale 300 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:08,960 that runs down the railroad track and then into the little creek. 301 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:12,600 It's going south and the houses on this side there's three 302 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:16,600 basins. There's one here you can't see with the landscaping but it's a the 303 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:21,800 storm sewer intercepts the runoff and swales and this area is drained by a 304 00:20:19,360 --> 00:20:25,280 pond here which then releases into that stream. 305 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:28,400 Then from there down is a second pond right here 306 00:20:26,360 --> 00:20:32,000 that releases into that stream. And then there's a third pond in this location 307 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:34,920 that releases into that stream. So everything's controlled and it's all 308 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:38,520 released in the same exact spot that it comes out now. 309 00:20:36,360 --> 00:20:43,480 » Okay, my next question is um was there um a hydro study done on this property 310 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:46,680 and how much water goes into that runoff right now? 311 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:51,240 » So the answer to that's yes and our the township engineer reviews all those 312 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:55,200 plans and gives the approval before we got to this point. So we don't get to 313 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:57,920 this point until it's approved by the township engineer. 314 00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:01,000 » also the entrance to this property is going to be on Bristol Road right at the 315 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:04,360 railroad tracks? At the at the at the tunnel? 316 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,760 » It's as far away from the overpass as possible. 317 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:09,600 » And >> It's on the right side of the property. 318 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:13,080 » Is there going to be a red light there? Just a stop sign. 319 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:17,120 Cuz there's a view prob- there's a view problem there now with going through the 320 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,120 tunnel. 321 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:56,040 Okay, then all the homes, are they all going to be like pretty much the same 322 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,440 square footage-wise or different? 323 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,320 Right. 324 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:16,720 But this is going to be the layout of the what what you what you're saying 325 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,720 now? 326 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:24,040 Okay, thank you. >> Thank you, sir.

And then, yeah, you 513 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:59,800 don't maybe don't have the quality cement, but long as we have people that 514 00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:02,560 are monitoring that. So, >> So, yeah. Our our engineer is on top of 515 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,040 it. >> Our engineer is on top 516 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:07,000 » I can add to that. >> I'm skeptical of everything. I think 517 00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:10,360 everything is like, you know, >> So, the township gets reimbursed certain 518 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:14,680 amount of money from liquid fuels, and that's from from PennDOT in the state. 519 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:18,680 There's requirements that the contractor has to adhere to. They have to submit 520 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:22,000 forms, they have to submit um, material listings from the quarries they're 521 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:25,560 getting it. When the township's responsible for the 522 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:27,880 lowest responsible bidder, right? So, they have to meet prevailing wage 523 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:31,520 requirements. So there are all these requirements they have. It's it's more 524 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:36,000 of a competition to get the lowest price for the township. It's not lowest 525 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:37,640 competition for quality of work. >> Yeah. 526 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,240 Okay. All >> Good. Thank you, sir. I 527 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:43,240 » I appreciate thank you. >> Thank you everybody. 528 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:49,720 » Hopefully Mr. Kutsuradis will be back.
