from a legal perspective 82 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:57,080 uming confidentialities that we shared over the past few months um I 83 00:07:53,759 --> 00:08:05,080 counsel The Village administrator Andy Stewart uh and to the mayor and that may 84 00:08:01,879 --> 00:08:11,199 be it and maybe some of you in executive session because there's been a threat of 85 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:16,599 litigation um that in my legal opinion we have conducted this survey correctly 86 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:21,199 with compliance with the applicable law there's not a ton of law out there but 87 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:27,319 from what I've uh researched and reviewed carefully and also spoken to uh 88 00:08:24,639 --> 00:08:33,080 some colleagues in the municipal attorney sphere 89 00:08:29,879 --> 00:08:39,560 um I'm comfortable that we The Village through Andy um have performed this 90 00:08:36,479 --> 00:08:45,800 survey study for vacancy rates in compliance with the law as it stands 91 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:50,440 today that's all I can really share about that thank you and um of course 92 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:56,480 Andy can talk about the mechanics of conducting the survey which was his well 93 00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:01,600 I I think we've actually done that a couple times in public session I think 94 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:06,320 the one thing thing that we did do was um we did receive additional information 95 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:11,560 and the reason for tabling this motion at the last meeting was for us to 96 00:09:08,279 --> 00:09:15,880 consider it to give fair look at it and then and then to decide whether we 97 00:09:13,399 --> 00:09:20,600 should move forward we've done that we've added a section into the 98 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:27,440 resolution regarding that which anybody can look at if they want to is there any 99 00:09:24,279 --> 00:09:33,600 other clarifications or questions of the yes than please I'm assuming all the 100 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:39,880 trustees have read the draft resolution the proposed resolution um if not maybe 101 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:46,160 suggest that we take a minute or two to review it now I just like sure this is 102 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:49,920 an important one so yeah so if you haven't reviewed it if you could just 103 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:53,920 read it over real quickly if you have you have any questions about legal 104 00:09:51,519 --> 00:09:58,000 question or mechanical for Andy regarding the conducting of the survey 105 00:09:55,519 --> 00:09:58,000 Andy's 106 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,120 here 107 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:13,440 and the the new additional information that that Don was apping to is the 108 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:19,760 paragraph where is that paragraph see I think it's the bottom of page two 109 00:10:17,560 --> 00:10:25,720 in your agenda you print out bottom of page 110 00:10:20,959 --> 00:10:25,720 two page top page 111 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:31,040 three so starts at the bot 112 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:44,920 over top of Page Three second paragraph on page three as 113 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:51,320 well refen additional 114 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:58,880 information are we all good we read through yeah any further questions I 115 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:03,720 just wanted to make a note of the fact that we did get some as the resolution 116 00:11:01,279 --> 00:11:09,200 indicates we got some responses that came in or at least one response that 117 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:14,200 came in after time and was not completed the way that the survey requested um and 118 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:19,240 though that was not included in the survey but even if it were it would not 119 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:23,600 change the result where the result clearly showed a vacancy rate of under 120 00:11:21,639 --> 00:11:30,480 to 5% which is what's contemplated to declare a housing emergency in the 121 00:11:25,839 --> 00:11:34,639 btpa um and so I I want to say that to the Village administrator and 122 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:41,480 everybody that worked on this this was a very careful painstaking and extended um 123 00:11:39,680 --> 00:11:46,360 approach that they took and very disciplined and I appreciate the work 124 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:51,680 they did to make sure that it was done precisely and um that we got good 125 00:11:49,680 --> 00:11:59,519 information reliable information that we can act upon so thank you Andy and 126 00:11:54,959 --> 00:12:06,240 that here here anything else hearing nothing all in favor I opposed 127 00:12:02,519 --> 00:12:06,240 motion carried 128 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:16,800 um The Next Step you made thinking Don is no I was actually considering whether 129 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:21,279 we should um I I want to let the public know that we did receive uh an 130 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:26,800 additional email from from an attorney of a coalition of landlords um which 131 00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:31,480 suggested that we were not willing to consider a proposal that they had sent 132 00:12:29,680 --> 00:12:36,399 to us and I want to make sure for the record that it's stated that we are 133 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:42,040 willing and will continue to work through that process um as we move 134 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:46,240 forward so that um just I just want to make sure that the public is aware that 135 00:12:43,639 --> 00:12:50,360 we have received that um and that we will um consider it just like we've 136 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:55,880 considered anything that's come before us about this issue just want trustees 137 00:12:53,560 --> 00:13:01,000 the next step is to schedule an actual public hearing on whether or not to 138 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:04,839 declare a housing emergency in the village of n act that's by public 139 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:10,320 hearing I'll prepare that a with vany get that published and uh so we have not 140 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:15,320 declared tonight we have not declared a housing emergency this not this is not a 141 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:21,440 declaration of a housing emergency it is simply the accepting of the survey um 142 00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:26,399 that demonstrates a housing emergency based on us do we need a resolution to 143 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:30,480 set the um public yeah let's go through these we'll do that after remind me if I 144 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:33,600 forget um so we 145 00:13:36,680 --> 00:13:46,120 are3 we're 5.3 right yes y to approve um the just compensation um this is for the

several times in 148 00:13:54,920 --> 00:14:05,240 the past um for those in the public this is about um working with residents along 149 00:14:01,519 --> 00:14:09,519 Dew and some of the side streets on on Lower Dew we're going to be widening 150 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:16,040 those sidewalks to make it safer for kids to get up and down to school so and 151 00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:20,440 that will require us to do some work with uh with residents about making 152 00:14:18,519 --> 00:14:24,040 taking over some of their land talking with them about hey you're on Village 153 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:28,160 land and just that whole process of working through that we've already begun 154 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:32,519 that we've talked with residents we've had a couple meetings with them that 155 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:38,160 process will continue this just gives us the ability to um to use Grant funds to 156 00:14:35,519 --> 00:14:43,160 to do to make that happen any 157 00:14:40,079 --> 00:14:48,800 questions hearing none all in favor I oppos motion 158 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:53,279 Carri no we're not you had a question no we're not we're not we we had it place 159 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:56,959 for open comments we're moving through our resolutions now there'll be a place 160 00:14:55,240 --> 00:15:00,000 for public comment after we're done with our 161 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:05,600 resolutions our next resolution is to um authorize 162 00:15:03,079 --> 00:15:09,600 the mayor to sign a pilot agreement with Rockland 163 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:16,839 Gardens um housing Partners limited partnership um the town of Orangetown 164 00:15:12,959 --> 00:15:22,399 Union Free School District of nyak um regarding 84 North Franklin Street which 165 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:27,000 is basically rocking Gardens let's get it on the table and then if we have any 166 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:32,920 questions we can get clarification second motion from Donna from 167 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:37,279 Pascal um Andy you want to add anything to what I said earlier about this and I 168 00:15:35,839 --> 00:15:42,079 hope I got that right I think that it's important people 169 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:50,800 to understand that the assessor evaluated this um the agreement is to 170 00:15:46,839 --> 00:15:54,800 hold their current um assessment level for another year or so and then increase 171 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:59,440 it given the amount that's be invested in that property and then hold that for 172 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:05,800 a certain number of years um it's not a tax impact right so 173 00:16:02,319 --> 00:16:11,720 there's no impact on our taxes um only on the assessment of the building so our 174 00:16:08,959 --> 00:16:18,519 taxes will remain the same we just won't have the assessment of the building will 175 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:22,560 not go up until the Pilot is is finished and it will phase in if I understand it 176 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:27,720 correctly when I read it I believe it goes 177 00:16:24,319 --> 00:16:32,079 6.8 so um any questions I I understand the town of Orange 178 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:38,199 asked for um some clarification from the assessor before they wanted to vote on 179 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:44,759 it um we can vote on it before they do don't yeah I would recommend that we do 180 00:16:40,759 --> 00:16:49,920 to show um to show the the the owner that we this is a positive thing for for 181 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:55,639 our subsidized housing to get it completely um refurbished and and and 182 00:16:53,759 --> 00:17:00,279 worked on and it will be a positive thing for our residents and it will not 183 00:16:57,759 --> 00:17:04,919 be increased act end up in an increase in their rent so this is quite an 184 00:17:02,959 --> 00:17:09,720 accomplishment and we should really I think be thanking on rock and Gardens 185 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:15,559 for for the idea and the process to get us here so I would suggest that we vote 186 00:17:13,120 --> 00:17:21,480 on it tonight um and then let the town of Orangetown make their determination 187 00:17:18,679 --> 00:17:24,240 can I just ask I'm assuming that the school district and the town because 188 00:17:23,319 --> 00:17:31,480 it's a tax I believe the school passed pass 189 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:35,280 school board has a town of Orangetown just had a couple questions they wanted 190 00:17:33,120 --> 00:17:35,280 to 191 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:44,720 ask hearing no other questions all in favor I oppos motion 192 00:17:43,120

Disappeared for a 237 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:13,039 while I'm sorry things stuff um and uh wanted to touch up on the basis of 238 00:22:10,919 --> 00:22:20,440 what's happening with the fines that were happening with 197 CLE out uh the 239 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:26,559 fire fines and also at the same time what's is going on with the legal 240 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:31,880 building that they've been doing and everything else that uh 241 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:36,279 has passed after the Kingston just be a little louder I 242 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:39,480 can't after the Kingston law oh so you're talking about the emergency 243 00:22:37,360 --> 00:22:44,760 tenant protection act and what are you talking about for the 244 00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:53,559 fire um from what I've uh been informed that the fire department find uh the the 245 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:59,320 management of 197 sickles for improper uh management of uh equipment so they 246 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:06,960 were using illegal will uh varnish and things like that uh in 247 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:10,000 the building and also without the uh permit for the 248 00:23:10,919 --> 00:23:17,960 town I am not aware of those violations so we don't normally get those 249 00:23:16,120 --> 00:23:22,039 violations sent to us those are normally handled through the Justice Court um so 250 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:25,200 I don't know if we can actually respond but we can certainly find out and let 251 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:32,279 you know unless um we did have S will fire 252 00:23:29,799 --> 00:23:35,200 excessive false along cases excessive false along cases it sounds like you're 253 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:40,799 referring to a different type of violation they were in court a couple of 254 00:23:38,120 --> 00:23:45,320 weeks ago sadly or disappointingly none of the defendants 255 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:50,039 showed up I've been I've been working with the building department fire 256 00:23:46,799 --> 00:23:55,640 inspector to try to address that that problem of lack of appearance by code 257 00:23:54,200 --> 00:24:01,159 violation defendants but there were set sets of false alarms uh not something 258 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:07,200 that you just described I I'm not sure you're talking about no you're talking 259 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:12,520 about7 C Avenue I don't alarms that we do have uh from the fire department was 260 00:24:10,120 --> 00:24:18,279 a lot of times with the time Hotel the time hotel we have excessive alarms that 261 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:26,679 went off and there was no reason for the alarms to go off but with uh the uh 19 262 00:24:22,159 --> 00:24:31,399 197 sickles it was about varnish and the contractors us 263 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:37,159 things that were not supposed to be used and was toxic to people 264 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:42,440 that that may have been on the court calendar but if it was the defendant did 265 00:24:39,679 --> 00:24:48,720 not show up but I don't think it was um as as the mayor pointed out 266 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:53,240 uh Village administrator and I will will contact Building Department fire 267 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:58,080 inspector and see what's happening 197 second can you leave a email address so 268 00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:01,880 that we can or or phone number that we can correspond with you after we find 269 00:24:59,919 --> 00:25:06,000 get to the bottom of it absolutely because the fire department you normally 270 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:10,919 is not in the business of issuing summonses that's usually done by our Co 271 00:25:08,360 --> 00:25:17,600 enforcement fire inspector so this was this was back in the time when Dana 272 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:27,240 Nichols was still the was 101 of the and now it's changed over to J pill 273 00:25:22,120 --> 00:25:32,360 right so as J came then you start cracking down on the things that were 274 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:35,440 going wrong sure well have have Jim give either Andy or I a call but we'll get 275 00:25:34,120 --> 00:25:41,640 the information for you if there's something that he needs from us he I'm 276 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:45,799 not aware of him I haven't been in contact with Jim for a couple weeks 277 00:25:43,399 --> 00:25:50,720 about any of these issues so I'm not aware of the specifics that you're 278 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:56,360 talking about so if you want to have Jim either contact myself or Andy he has our 279 00:25:53,640 --> 00:26:00,679 cell phones well the reason I the reason that I was asking is because since I've 280 00:25:58,120 --> 00:26:07,919 been a resident there for the last 15 years and I've seen all everything 281 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:15,039 changing back and forth that's why I'm concerned with a lot of other residents 282 00:26:09,799 --> 00:26:20,960 that are here with me and so there is I don't want to say that there's you 283 00:26:18,399 --> 00:26:26,159 know sliding of the hands but uh we all do know that there is sliding of the 284 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:31,320 hands going across the board so I want to see if that is something think 285 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:36,039 because this is I'm a person that lives in the neighborhood I worked in the 286 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:38,919 neighborhood I was I left the neighborhood because I was pushed out 287 00:26:37,559 --> 00:26:43,279 because I fell out of business and I still live in the 288 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:49,039 neighborhood but the most important thing is the safety for our children and 289 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:54,840 our community we we agree with you 100% I um so we'll we let us let us do some 290 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:58,799 research to find out um well I'm not going to agree with you or disagree with 291 00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:03,960 you about slight of hand on anything but let us do the research and we'll figure 292 00:27:00,399 --> 00:27:08,520 out um the issues that you're bringing we can trade information across the 293 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:12,760 board with uh emails and uh everything else so that we we can stay in 294 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:17,320 communication with each other we we will be happy to email you 295 00:27:15,399 --> 00:27:21,399 any of the information you of course can email us anytime or come to any meetings 296 00:27:19,279 --> 00:27:24,080 and raise them again but we're not I'm not just not familiar with the issues 297 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:27,840 you're bringing up so I can't really respond we talked about it three months 298 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:31,799 ago three months ago before I disappeared and it was all about the 299 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:36,840 housing and the legal building and everything else that was happening and 300 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:42,600 that was only the beginning of uh well I don't recall that discussion so and we' 301 00:27:39,279 --> 00:27:48,300 about church the church came and Wasing as well about the uh situation about the 302 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:52,799 rent increase across [Music] 303 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:56,640 town violations are different that that requires a different type of response 304 00:27:54,960 --> 00:28:00,080 the response the issue that you brought up about the rent increase has been 305 00:27:58,120 --> 00:28:04,360 something we've been meeting about regularly since then culminating in 306 00:28:02,039 --> 00:28:09,200 today accepting the vacancy study on the etpa been some advice about information 307 00:28:07,519 --> 00:28:16,919 that I need to figure out but at the same time like so if they 308 00:28:13,679 --> 00:28:21,720 have violations how do they pay a a fine and the village doesn't know about the 309 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:26,279 fine no The Village doesn't know it's said I don't know I wouldn't I don't 310 00:28:24,799 --> 00:28:30,480 there's lots of fins that are given out in the village and I have no idea who 311 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:33,799 they're giving to um so it's that I don't know it's not that the village 312 00:28:31,799 --> 00:28:37,840 doesn't know I'm sure the Village Court is very aware of every fine that's been 313 00:28:35,799 --> 00:28:42,720 given out the building Department's aware of every of every code violation 314 00:28:40,159 --> 00:28:48,080 that they've made but I don't have that information to give to give you feedback 315 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:52,360 and this is I'm s unless I'm completely forgetting the only thing that I 316 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:57,679 remember you bringing to us was the rent increases and we have been working we've 317 00:28:54,640 --> 00:29:01,960 been working diligently on them and building they didn't use any permits 318 00:28:59,679 --> 00:29:05,880 they reuse one permit and and our building inspector went up our building 319 00:29:03,919 --> 00:29:08,640 inspector and fire inspector did go up but I don't know what the results of 320 00:29:07,399 -->

going to do that so he 348 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:29,519 carved out a niche of six about six properties of a certain size 349 00:31:27,679 --> 00:31:34,559 and he saying to well let's change it and up Zone that and everyone knows 350 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:37,480 affordable housing is good and therefore we should do this to these six 351 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:40,919 properties and that won't have a huge impact but the truth is it would have a 352 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:46,679 huge impact in our neighborhood you'd end up with smaller properties in 353 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:52,399 between multif family housing on gney it is a small block um as people have 354 00:31:49,799 --> 00:31:56,519 testified beforehand there are lots of parking issues in the neighborhood 355 00:31:54,760 --> 00:32:01,519 although it's a two family Zone it's mainly one family housing and we are not 356 00:31:59,519 --> 00:32:05,919 interested in having neighborhood change n has a master plan if you're going to 357 00:32:04,039 --> 00:32:09,880 change the zoning in the community you should do it through a master plan we 358 00:32:08,039 --> 00:32:14,880 see no reason why you should spend money on the resources NX resources because 359 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:21,240 someone individual wants to change the zoning with his property and it does not 360 00:32:18,559 --> 00:32:25,559 benefit any of the neighborhoods and any of our neighbors and we're all V opposed 361 00:32:24,159 --> 00:32:29,000 I think a lot of people aren't here tonight there's a lot going in world in 362 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:33,639 the world at the moment but they certainly all showed up at the zba 363 00:32:31,679 --> 00:32:38,720 meeting and they signed a petition and they let you know loud and clearly that 364 00:32:35,919 --> 00:32:42,880 they did not want up zoning in our neighborhood that we har our property 365 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:46,120 values that we love our neighborhood that we want to live in this 366 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:50,039 neighborhood we bought homes knowing that it was two family residential 367 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:53,440 neighborhood and we're very satisfied with that and we would like to keep it 368 00:32:51,399 --> 00:32:59,519 that way and we ask you to vote no and to represent the community and your 369 00:32:56,240 --> 00:33:04,320 community does not want you to up Zone these blocks so thank you thank you 370 00:33:02,159 --> 00:33:04,320 thank 371 00:33:08,919 --> 00:33:15,200 you discuss you want to wait until we open 372 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:25,960 discuss um Ju Just you know that that issue is on our agenda to discuss um we 373 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:30,200 have not um made any action to move any consideration I've asked the board at 374 00:33:28,279 --> 00:33:34,039 our last meeting to make sure they came to this meeting ready to discuss it 375 00:33:32,399 --> 00:33:38,279 about whether we would move forward or not so um that that is our agenda so 376 00:33:37,039 --> 00:33:44,880 thank you for your comments um we will open up now to um 377 00:33:42,159 --> 00:33:51,080 our business our reports our department reports um we have not met initially uh 378 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:58,679 since our last meeting with the um oround Police Department um we did have 379 00:33:53,760 --> 00:34:07,360 one interaction with them um about a a um an incident of um of graffiti on a 380 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:12,079 stop sign um they responded very quickly and are doing an investigation on it um 381 00:34:10,240 --> 00:34:18,720 we removed the stop sign and put up a new one um and it was related to um to 382 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:23,639 the to the Jewish community so we wanted to make sure we acted quickly and and to 383 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:28,879 try to help people to kind of get through where we are right 384 00:34:25,359 --> 00:34:28,879 now um 385 00:34:29,240 --> 00:34:39,919 Dennis nothing that except that I happy to have received report from 386 00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:45,000 Andy that our Fine Collection in the Justice 387 00:34:41,639 --> 00:34:52,240 Court this through my prosecutorial work has brought in 388 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:58,800 significantly higher numbers than I guess the past and I only say that 389 00:34:55,879 --> 00:35:05,079 because it it's something that I think I've heard over the past n months or so 390 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:09,800 about quality of life people speeding not coming to complete stop stop signs 391 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:14,359 going through red lights and by being a little bit more aggressive with the 392 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:20,200 findes U maybe the word gets out that hey slow down come to a complete stop 393 00:35:16,720 --> 00:35:24,920 the stop sign stop with red lights maybe it 394 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:29,839 will eventually improve the quality of life when it comes to Traffic Safety so 395 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:34,320 I'm happy to accept that report from the village administrator and I hope to 396 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:39,960 continue to uh send the message out on the street that a new 397 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:44,640 sheriff well thank you Dennis and I think it also speaks to what we heard 398 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:49,760 about making sure that we're that we're following through on our finds and 399 00:35:46,119 --> 00:35:53,520 Notting not allowing people to just do things that they shouldn't be doing in 400 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:57,599 their vills and being very very diligent about that and making sure that we have 401 00:35:55,640 --> 00:36:00,839 the the process to let this gentl know I missed your 402 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:05,119 name I'm sorry um I have been in communication with the uh attorney 403 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:09,680 representing the board of fire Commissioners and um expressing to me 404 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:14,240 the board of fire Commissioners very serious concern about the excessive 405 00:36:11,079 --> 00:36:21,000 false alarm problem and I'm treating that very very very seriously and um 406 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:23,760 unfortunately these last several defendants that were supposed to appear 407 00:36:22,359 --> 00:36:28,280 for excessive false alarms a couple weeks ago cour none of them showed up 408 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:33,920 but my int was to be pretty harsh on fines and I will continue to do so yeah 409 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:37,280 I think we I think we need to we need to this is important for our volunteer 410 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:43,800 service that

next 426 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:57,240 meeting so we won't go into that right now um just from the bookback in capital 427 00:37:56,280 --> 00:38:01,800 project right now we've been we had two things 428 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:07,280 going on this week one was a piece of the tap Broadway sidewalk project which 429 00:38:04,599 --> 00:38:11,240 was a burying of of electrical lines between light poles in front of P book 430 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:16,200 shop and south of Bird Street that was completed this week and um they have a 431 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:21,280 couple little things to do to finish up their 432 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:27,119 project um we may have enough money left after all the billing we're waiting to 433 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:31,280 see to do more next year so we obtained proactively an extension on that 434 00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:36,599 contract with the state in case after we pay the remaining bills to attack hva 435 00:38:34,240 --> 00:38:39,119 and play and that we're we can assess whether we have enough to take on 436 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:44,760 another section of the sidewalk which would be nice of course 437 00:38:42,359 --> 00:38:48,960 um we also have sidewalk work going on heading down South Broadway in front of 438 00:38:46,359 --> 00:38:54,440 tman towers the brick house and a nyak center that cdbg funded um Tera Firma 439 00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:58,920 has doing a great job they're working fast they're about to turn the corner 440 00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:02,440 onto few originally we had bid out just the South Broadway section but they came 441 00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:06,319 in with a really good price so it's was enough money to make probably all the 442 00:39:04,240 --> 00:39:10,680 way up to Franklin on the sections that are that are deteriorated there there's 443 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:13,720 a couple sections that were done fairly recently they're in good shape up by the 444 00:39:12,119 --> 00:39:21,359 Franklin Corner it's on Pew Avenue so so we were 445 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:25,800 we're talking with the um man Plaza Housing Authority n Center and others to 446 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:31,880 coordinate um that project will be going up to pew started um probably not Friday 447 00:39:29,319 --> 00:39:36,720 but certainly early next week that's great so so that's going on the marina 448 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:41,319 Paving project we're really excited about that's starting this week yeah um 449 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:46,240 because of the rain this weekend um they're not going to go full boore today 450 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:51,000 tomorrow um but they're definitely rallying their forces and mobilizing to 451 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:55,400 to pave that lot which hopefully we'll improve the drainage as well because we 452 00:39:53,240 --> 00:40:00,160 get some big puddles down there and we're hoping to see that situation 453 00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,160 mitigated a 454 00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:06,760 bit I wanted to just mention also the mayor mentioned this the last meeting is 455 00:40:05,079 --> 00:40:11,680 there's going to be unveiling of a new Memorial sign right here on the

action plan to a workshop at 645 and they had already shared 488 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:56,440 extensive documents drafted to The Village's climate action plan so now is 489 00:42:54,160 -->

00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:09,720 anything the board wants to know when they come in Andy one of the things that 492 00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:14,760 I that I think we really need to think about I've read through it when first 493 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:18,760 got it and I was skimming through it as I was looking at all the SM climate 494 00:43:16,839 --> 00:43:24,680 smart stuff that is coming through a mayor's conference or fin um and um 495 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:30,280 we're ahead of a lot of people and we I we need a marketing plan 496 00:43:28,079 --> 00:43:34,720 to ensure that this is publicized and in a public way um and then we we take the 497 00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:38,440 leadership that's what level 498 00:43:42,240 --> 00:43:49,040 we this SL clent smart plan will I think put us 499 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:53,200 over but we we you know we've been taking leadership on this and I really 500 00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:57,800 think we that we ought to ask them to come up with the way that they would 501 00:43:54,599 --> 00:44:03,720 like to see us really put this out last week 502 00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,720 I just got 503 00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:10,960 there spaces so yeah Hastings got their bronze just before we did 504 00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:19,200 as yeah this is something that we should be proud of as a village should really 505 00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:24,280 put it out there what we're doing certainly with that with the 506 00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:31,400 presentation and then the edits and ultimately the adoption of this plan 507 00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:36,400 um it's a a lot has been done to get there but the plan includes a lot more 508 00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:39,440 to do and there's been a good deal of Engagement by members of the community 509 00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:46,319 some very active committees and so I think there's going 510 00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:53,520 be a lot more to try it's great anything else that's all I got for 511 00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:59,960 now thanks okay um old business is the request for us to consider um uh text 512 00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:04,520 Amendment um that's exactly what we're doing we're not considering the text 513 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:08,520 Amendment we're considering whether we want to consider the 514 00:45:06,720 --> 00:45:12,920 text so two two considers in 515 00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:22,160 there um

options are to the 518 00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:37,599 proposed fourth your option is to just decline to consider it and like i' said 519 00:45:34,240 --> 00:45:43,440 as long as your reason for declining um is not based upon a 520 00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:49,160 unconstitutional and unconstitutional ground um you don't have that's your 521 00:45:47,119 --> 00:45:54,200 legislative discretion you can say you just not interested thank you um one of 522 00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:58,400 the reasons could be that you think you're zoning in that particular n 523 00:45:55,839 --> 00:46:03,160 neighborhood is good the way it is that's a perfectly valid reason to say 524 00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:06,800 we're not interested in considering this proposed text Amendment or the village 525 00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:11,400 has other priorities right now that we're focusing on and we uh not to say 526 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:15,319 that another several months this is something that we might consider but 527 00:46:13,079 --> 00:46:20,599 right now we have other priorities focus on and if and if we are contemplating 528 00:46:18,599 --> 00:46:27,440 considering it our next move would it be to ask for for some advisement from our 529 00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:31,720 planner from our village planner yes probably ultimately we have that that's 530 00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:37,000 a more formal step would be the village plan get his 531 00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:41,040 thoughts so what what's the sense of the board thinking of the board at this 532 00:46:38,319 --> 00:46:47,000 point on this you have a question yeah I just had a question I know from I think 533 00:46:43,240 --> 00:46:52,319 a couple meetings back one Community member who lived in that area had 534 00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:56,720 mentioned the person as um not meeting with them or any or talking with them 535 00:46:54,280 --> 00:47:01,079 about any of the plans and they're pursuing I just wanted to know if 536 00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:05,200 anything has changed has whoever the owner of this is reached out to the 537 00:47:03,319 --> 00:47:10,880 community members in that area talk to them at all I'm just curious if any of 538 00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:17,559 you guys know I have no idea yeah out at all 539 00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:22,000 no and he's he's U we have not had any representation of the text Amendment 540 00:47:19,240 --> 00:47:29,680 itself okay to the board either or to the staff just the just the doctor okay 541 00:47:26,930 --> 00:47:33,400 [Music] go next to anybody anybody we don't need 542 00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:39,640 to go down the line just as far as I understand it um 543 00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:43,839 this involves a proposal that was already put forth I think to the was 544 00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:51,599 planning board CBA that's the CBA for I guess 545 00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:58,800 approval on a building plan that was a pretty ambitious pretty 546 00:47:55,800 --> 00:48:03,400 ambitious uh plan uh when that was turned down they then came to us for a 547 00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:07,839 text amendment that would allow by right the ability to build um I think multif 548 00:48:06,559 --> 00:48:10,960 family I'm not sure what the one it would be but multif family but again we 549 00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:17,160 would not be approving that we would just be referring it for 550 00:48:14,079 --> 00:48:20,400 consideration um I I don't know to me I don't I think this is not right for us 551 00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:27,920 and I don't think it's something that we should submit to the planning board um I 552 00:48:23,240 --> 00:48:31,319 think that I from what I know um and have seen of the plan that was presented 553 00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:37,000 to the zoning board I think it's something that the person who has 554 00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:41,880 petitioned for both the zoning change text Amendment as well as propos the 555 00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:46,880 building to the building department did not have a realistic approach to what he 556 00:48:44,559 --> 00:48:51,000 was trying to build and I think that you know if he wants to do something that is 557 00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:54,960 beyond what the zoning allows he should perhaps propose something that would be 558 00:48:52,559 --> 00:48:58,400 a little bit more acceptable to the zoning board as as well as to the local 559 00:48:56,359 --> 00:49:03,240 community even if that was more than a two family this was six family with a 560 00:49:00,359 --> 00:49:08,599 pool I and things like that which was a little a 561 00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:12,680 little ambitious put it that way um and so I don't think that this is 562 00:49:11,319 --> 00:49:15,760 something we need to consider right now we have a lot on our plate the planning 563 00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:19,960 board has a lot on their plate I think that the the the person can go back and 564 00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:25,680 try to get another plan for that property approved um in the normal 565 00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:30,319 course of uh of trying to get projects St can that be my opinion can I just ask 566 00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:34,359 to because it was a mentioned that it's not just that lot it's like the 567 00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:38,559 surrounding Lots how does that work what they're saying is that there are other 568 00:49:36,119 --> 00:49:42,280 he's he's trying not to say I want a text Amendment from my own lot right so 569 00:49:40,720 --> 00:49:47,559 he's saying there are number of lots that are large 570 00:49:43,799 --> 00:49:51,599 enough in the in the area to accommodate larger than two family homes 571 00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:55,960 theoretically none of them have bigger Lots but they could and so what what 572 00:49:53,440 --> 00:50:00,079 he's saying is we should allow Parcels of this size to allow more than two 573 00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:05,720 family homs the street Frontage of this amount with the side bulk size of this 574 00:50:02,720 --> 00:50:11,240 amount that's that's basic I guess followup is can you do that without the 575 00:50:09,319 --> 00:50:15,119 consent of the owners of those property like it does or that doesn't change 576 00:50:13,079 --> 00:50:18,520 anything it would allow them to do more than they currently do so it wouldn't 577 00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:24,319 need to they wouldn't need we wouldn't need their consent to pass the zoning 578 00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:28,920 change um they could certainly come and talk about it if they want 579 00:50:26,359 --> 00:50:34,599 we wouldn't necessarily need it's our decision if we wanted to move 580 00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:40,079 forward any thoughts I I completely agree with Jo we 581 00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:40,079 have so 582 00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:49,480 much there this and this will take this will take a lot of study to to make sure 583 00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:55,280 that we do it right that it doesn't leak into other zones it's it's not it's not 584 00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:59,200 just as simple as the document sounds there's a lot of considerations that 585 00:50:57,240 --> 00:51:03,880 need to be made we're working through the etpa we're working through stuff 586 00:51:01,359 --> 00:51:09,400 with the LC we're working through stuff with Rock and Gardens um and other 587 00:51:06,599 --> 00:51:14,160 entities and and working on affordable housing I I just think that we're we 588 00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:18,040 just can't deal with this we make a vote on 589 00:51:18,119 --> 00:51:25,920 this is that we're not going to take any action 590 00:51:21,839 --> 00:51:29,319 yeah okay um new business was the land use technical committee and the sidewalk 591 00:51:27,599 --> 00:51:34,880 repair project which we already approved so I don't think you need to tell us 592 00:51:31,240 --> 00:51:38,480 about that um the land use technical is an 593 00:51:35,599 --> 00:51:43,160 item right and I I explained what we're doing okay so just it's a little bit 594 00:51:41,599 --> 00:51:50,119 different from I don't know if you talked about the the they proposed a 595 00:51:46,319 --> 00:51:57,040 change to our sign code what what Steve said was he was sorry he couldn't make 596 00:51:53,160 --> 00:52:01,480 it um he would come on the 26th and present everything but he would give us 597 00:51:58,720 --> 00:52:05,160 an email explaining all the changes that the 598 00:52:02,359 --> 00:52:10,480 lutc so do you think we should move the sign thing faster than that um I don't 599 00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:13,599 think it's urgent mayor I just want to distinguish that because what Steve I 600 00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:18,559 think is intending on presenting has to do with affordable housing and 601 00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:24,280 Abus and he mentioned the he mentioned the sign thing told me he didn't want to 602 00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:30,040 he didn't want on the side law question okay what do you propose how do we move 603 00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:37,240 this forward well that the The Village trustee should review the the draft 604 00:52:33,720 --> 00:52:40,400 amendments to the uh the sign law to the sign law which I can summarize quickly 605 00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:43,720 okay why don't you do that and then we'll decide whether we want to move it 606 00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:49,760 forward to legislation is that what you want right okay 607 00:52:45,599 --> 00:52:56,240 so quick summary yeah it boils down to um lessening the load on the 608 00:52:52,119 --> 00:53:01,200 ARB that anytime anybody comes in with any kind of change to an 609 00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:07,520 existing legally existing sign it has to go ARB so ARB is saying look if it's 610 00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:12,559 only going to be a simple or basic design change to a legally existing sign 611 00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:19,839 you don't need to go you don't need to go to the ARB and basic or simple design 612 00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:24,240 change is defined I bur you with the definition here it's pretty simple 613 00:53:21,359 --> 00:53:30,760 definition but you can figure out it's a basic or simple design change does not 614 00:53:26,319 --> 00:53:35,200 need to go that's all has the ARB said signed off on this yeah I think they 615 00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:38,960 were one of the progenitors this was slowing them down 616 00:53:37,119 --> 00:53:42,240 because they're getting approvals for minor variations to I just want to make 617 00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:49,319 sure that's on the record okay so any questions about 618 00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:54,160 that so why don't we go through getting it set for legislation we'll put a 619 00:53:51,559 --> 00:53:58,839 public hearing out notot to do public hearing we'll do a public hearing um at 620 00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:04,200 the 26 we'll set a public hearing for it and then we'll that for hearing would 621 00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:08,240 not be 26 no no no no we'll consider it on 622 00:54:05,839 --> 00:54:12,319 the um yeah we've got a lot of stuff on the 26 I feel like we're going to be 623 00:54:09,799 --> 00:54:12,319 here till the 624 00:54:12,559 --> 00:54:16,559 28th um so 625 00:54:16,839 --> 00:54:24,599 um before we move on with any other Communications to the communications 626 00:54:21,599 --> 00:54:30,839 piece um there's two items that I would like to um move for um adoption one is 627 00:54:28,720 --> 00:54:35,000 an executive session to discuss potential litigation and Personnel 628 00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:42,599 issues need a motion in second second all in favor I oos motion 629 00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:48,240 carried motion from Donna second from Joe um and the second is for us to

--> 00:55:06,040 second that was that said right yeah I would just only supplement with the 633 00:55:03,559 --> 00:55:11,920 technical term is Declaration of a house a declaration of a local housing 634 00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:17,520 emergency which means consider that just to open a public hearing for the 635 00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:23,039 consideration of of that soov second motion from Donna second from all in 636 00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:28,440 favor I I oppose ter thank you for indulging me on that I completely forgot 637 00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:35,440 those two things um Communications um you've all seen the 638 00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:40,839 back and forth with um concerning thepa um you've seen the document with a 639 00:55:38,799 --> 00:55:46,160 proposal from the landlords which we will 640 00:55:42,319 --> 00:55:51,160 discuss um and our responses back and forth um on it I think they're think 641 00:55:48,839 --> 00:55:56,400 they're it's great process we're really following a good process we've we're 642 00:55:54,000 --> 00:56:00,039 moving I think think in a very very good way and I'm looking forward to the 643 00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:06,599 conversations with the landlords once we have a chance to decide what what we 644 00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:12,559 think is the Right Way Forward um the rest of the communications are 645 00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:17,000 basically um notices to us I'm not sure that we have to take any action on any 646 00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:23,440 of them at this point you don't need to take action so these are just notices of 647 00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:30,599 um from the office of cannabis management um for an application for an 648 00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:35,640 adult used retail dispensary within our village limits um we have we have no 649 00:56:33,359 --> 00:56:40,319 reason to take any action at all they're just notifications there Daniel I know 650 00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:44,839 that this is where you wanted to say something so um is there any questions 651 00:56:43,039 --> 00:56:49,599 of the board first and then we'll go to public 652 00:56:46,599 --> 00:56:49,599 comment 653 00:56:50,599 --> 00:56:58,599 except okay we're not um Dennis I need your help here since we're not 654 00:56:55,039 --> 00:57:03,319 considering anything um her um members of her family are going to speak to one 655 00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:08,440 of the notices which she need to recuse herself and from that discussion from 656 00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:14,119 even the presentation or are we okay to move forward there's no there's no 657 00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:19,720 action that the board can take on these notices that received from the office of 658 00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:24,520 C you probably get once in a while from the state Li Authority we get them all 659 00:57:21,319 --> 00:57:28,559 the time yeah wasn't time probably all the time they're ignored because there's 660 00:57:26,599 --> 00:57:31,599 really not much for you guys to do with anything so what we should do is put 661 00:57:30,559 --> 00:57:36,160 into the rec which I think you've already done 662 00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:40,520 that so that's in the record there's no question about 663 00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:44,119 that I will I will not make any comments even though we just we're not going to 664 00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:48,839 make any comments we're happy to hear everything that anybody has to say but 665 00:57:46,119 --> 00:57:51,799 there's no there's no no reason for us to have comments at this point we'll 666 00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:56,400 take anything under advisement that people bring to us but there really we 667 00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:59,960 don't have anything to consider so I I also can I also P to the record that I 668 00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:04,880 have a vague sense that one of these properties might 669 00:58:01,359 --> 00:58:08,240 involve um some sort of relationship with rant commercial which is a real 670 00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:13,720 estate company that I have a financial interest in I don't actually know if we 671 00:58:10,839 --> 00:58:17,440 do but on the possibility that there might be I just want to have on the 672 00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:21,760 record that um if any action was taken I would recuse from the action and um that 673 00:58:20,359 --> 00:58:26,720 I don't have any personal knowledge of any any of the actions being 674 00:58:24,039 --> 00:58:26,720 contemplated here 675 00:58:28,119 --> 00:58:33,119 okay public comment what does that 676 00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:47,359 me yeah um recuse recusals are if you're going to vote on something that you have 677 00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:50,880 a financial or fiscal um you can gain something from it then you would recuse 678 00:58:49,039 --> 00:58:55,480 yourself from the vote the fact that we're not having any votes now where 679 00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:59,799 these both individuals have said what they might recuse themselves 680 00:58:57,359 --> 00:59:04,079 from if we did consider something but there's no purpose or reason for there 681 00:59:02,079 --> 00:59:13,079 to be a recuse does that answer your question sir okay sir good evening my 682 00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:21,079 name is Daniel an 863 Avenue in N so I'm I'm talk I'm coming to make a request to 683 00:59:15,599 --> 00:59:28,400 you again um in terms of the bmu one and two zones and as it relates to 684 00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:36,319 permitting cannabis facilities um the 685 00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:42,119 law Zing laws is written currently um basically says everything 686 00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:52,000 complemented in the dmu1 is permitted in dmu2 except for three things first one 687 00:59:46,039 --> 00:59:55,319 is dmu2 zones allows for um apartments on the ground floor it's not allowed in 688 00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:59,880 the dmu1 but that's an incentive there's an 689 00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:05,960 incentive for people in that part of the zone to perhaps um put apartments on the 690 01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:13,559 ground floor then you have a height um 691 01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:19,200 incentive in exchange for affordable housing in the dmu1 it's not allowed in 692 01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:25,559 dmu2 but again you're incentivizing creative uses of housing 693 01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:31,640 so you're rewarding the uh the property owners in a certain way um 694 01:00:29,119 --> 01:00:37,799 by those things whereas with the cannabis use you're actually prohibiting 695 01:00:35,039 --> 01:00:44,880 specific just one specific commercial use to property owners in 696 01:00:41,119 --> 01:00:51,079 dmu2 um why reading them differently for that one specific use and I think that's 697 01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:56,799 unfair so I'm asking you again I would urge the board to pass a resolution 698 01:00:54,559 --> 01:01:02,520 stating that the Cannabis facilities that are permitted in the mu1 zones are 699 01:00:59,920 --> 01:01:09,280 also permitted in the mu2 zones thank you thank you Daniel we we will review 700 01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:14,839 that and um and discuss it with but not tonight thank you any other public 701 01:01:11,960
