1
00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:29,660
So, welcome everybody. We don't often get such a party, but we're glad to have you. Thank you for coming. We got a bunch of people also watching on Zoom. So, we'll start our regular meeting, reminding folks that the meeting is recorded by a Zoom and the entire recording of it will be available within a few days online at BuzzFoldationWide.gov. So, here we go. Welcome all the Village Board regular meetings one day, October 27th.

2
00:00:30,300 --> 00:00:34,640
As is always the case, we have a work session and seven regular session beginning in peace.

3
00:00:34,820 --> 00:00:40,120
Our next regular meeting is on Monday, November 10th.

4
00:00:40,220 --> 00:00:49,360
So obviously the big matter tonight is a presentation by Lunar about their proposal for the site

5
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:50,300
up behind Foxwood.

6
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:55,440
As long as I have a captive audience, let me just make a couple of announcements and one

7
00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:07,420
Michael will engender widespread approval, and that is after months and months and months and months and months of efforts, the Emmy, Eric, Alyssa,

8
00:01:09,620 --> 00:01:23,640
Senator Stewart-Cousins office, Assemblywoman Shamsky's office, two days on their hopeful sign, the legislation you wouldn't think legislation would be needed, but it is to allow us to have a red light camera on the

9
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,020
the song in Parkway at Grand Street.

10
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,780
That's going to be part of the county system.

11
00:01:34,540 --> 00:01:36,120
They have the right, what is it, 50?

12
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,020
They have the right to put up 50's,

13
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,260
red light cameras on county-owned highways.

14
00:01:40,820 --> 00:01:43,260
The recent required a state action

15
00:01:43,260 --> 00:01:46,120
is that their legislation only permitted them

16
00:01:46,580 --> 00:01:48,380
to put them on county-owned highways.

17
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:49,960
They accepted the willingness

18
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,560
to put it up on this state-owned highway,

19
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,300
which, not for nothing, they're the contracted enforcers for us.

20
00:01:56,460 --> 00:01:59,380
So our next effort is to go back to the county and say,

21
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:00,620
how soon can we let this happen?

22
00:02:00,780 --> 00:02:05,920
But within, hopefully, not too long for the people

23
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,720
who come speeding through red lights at Grand Street will be caught.

24
00:02:10,100 --> 00:02:11,660
Also, good news.

25
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:12,540
Long haul.

26
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,600
Thanks, thanks to everybody involved.

27
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,840
That looks none or have significant what we're going to do now.

28
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:38,540
So as you all know, we have an application that we have received for a series of zoning changes that would allow the construction of 102 units project on a site up behind Foxwood.

29
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:46,380
It's a, it's kind of a crazy story about why this site exists in the matter it does.

30
00:02:46,380 --> 00:02:53,400
And so I just have a couple of slides that I think are worth

31
00:02:53,400 --> 00:03:00,460
losing through quickly so people realize the kind of interesting story but I'm

32
00:03:00,460 --> 00:03:00,920
this son.

33
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:09,380
So here's the map. This circle is the approximate site. Here is

34
00:03:09,380 --> 00:03:13,560
Manville Road. Here is Bedford Road. The Methodist Church campus drive.

35
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:21,360
this little gray spot is the village-owned tennis courts. This is the 254 unit

36
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:27,040
Foxwood condominium. This building here is what we used to think up as the Bank of

37
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:32,080
New York site for many years that back up emergency site for Bank of New York and

38
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,640
up at the top of the building. The top of the hill is the seven engineering building

39
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:43,340
now owned by somebody else. There is a ridge here so that this is all on one side

40
00:03:43,340 --> 00:03:49,860
the Hill on the other side of the Hill is the Toll Brothers townhouse project on

41
00:03:49,860 --> 00:04:01,540
Dennis Lane, which was redeveloped several years ago and had been two offstones. So way back when

42
00:04:01,540 --> 00:04:11,000
in the 1920s, Hyrum Edward Manville, the keeper of the John's Manville asbestos fortune,

43
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:20,860
owned something like 500 acres in Pleasantville. It was a big grand setting. He built this house,

44
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:32,080
which was 56 rooms. It had elaborate gardens and landscaping and patios and terraces and

45
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:39,620
there were many other outbuildings. That existed until the 1940s

46
00:04:40,700 --> 00:04:59,980
He died in 1944, his wife sold the property to General Precision Libertories, which was a company involved in designing high-tech technology for sonar race.

47
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:07,740
Local precision laboratories, which was a company involved in making, in, in, in deciding at

48
00:05:07,740 --> 00:05:11,160
the time, high end technology for sonar radar and the life.

49
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:15,600
1947, here's a New York Times

50
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:22,600
article, laboratory crisis, country life in Manville, place at Pleasantville, mansion remodel

51
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:28,820
to permit precision work, stirs inquiries by other concerns, but zoning laws are a stiff

52
00:05:28,820 --> 00:05:35,980
So you probably can't see this totally well, but this picture down here is engineers from GPL

53
00:05:36,820 --> 00:05:42,600
working in high-remembered manvill's dining room in rather grand circumstances.

54
00:05:44,100 --> 00:05:49,980
Here's what happened there after. This is the view, this is head for a grove, this is what

55
00:05:50,660 --> 00:05:57,100
eventually turned into campus drive. This is the site that Foxwood was later built on in three phases

56
00:05:57,100 --> 00:06:04,220
in the late seventies. Here is the mansion on which continued to be owned and operated by

57
00:06:04,220 --> 00:06:10,320
general precision laboratories ultimately acquired by Singer. And here is the first piece

58
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:16,920
of a very big building that they built adjacent to it later in the 1980s expanded.

59
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:27,080
Fast forward

60
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:34,120
for a variety of reasons, including the fact that the 1920s era 56 room mansion was probably

61
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:40,000
not the most efficient site for them, but they also needed quite a bit more parking,

62
00:06:40,740 --> 00:06:48,800
and in the end produced this on the left hand side is the building that now exists at just above

63
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:54,060
Foxwood, and further up the hill, the building that now exists at the top of the hill,

64
00:06:54,060 --> 00:07:01,540
the seven-engineer insight. So this left building, one campus drive, is 144,000 square feet.

65
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:08,680
That is a very big building. It is immediately adjacent to Foxwood, which sort of wraps around it.

66
00:07:09,340 --> 00:07:19,100
And for something like three decades, after GPL departed, it was owned by the Bank of New York as an

67
00:07:19,100 --> 00:07:25,560
emergency backup facility intended for use if Bank of New York had to move

68
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:31,900
their operations somewhere else. For all these many years it's 144,000 square

69
00:07:31,900 --> 00:07:34,880
foot building with all kinds of spaces and conference rooms and a

70
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:39,380
cafeteria that had like two people working it. The only time they occupied

71
00:07:39,380 --> 00:07:45,060
it's a my knowledge was right after 9-11 when Bank of New York had suffered some losses

72
00:07:45,060 --> 00:07:50,040
down town near the World Trade Tower, and some of their sites were inaccessible or flooded by

73
00:07:50,580 --> 00:07:56,540
by all that went on in the lower Manhattan, and on an emergency basis they occupied this building,

74
00:07:57,860 --> 00:08:04,780
and initially it was a scary thing for everybody, certainly folks at Foxwood, because there were

75
00:08:04,780 --> 00:08:09,060
foreign security guards, there was a short period of time when there was uncertainty about whether

76
00:08:09,060 --> 00:08:10,640
there was an attack on the financial system,

77
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,880
but Bank of New York continued to use that site

78
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,920
with buses coming from New York City

79
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,100
and from the train station,

80
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,260
bringing employees there, being able to take them overnight,

81
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,320
eventually over a period of,

82
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,220
I think a few months, it tapered off

83
00:08:26,220 --> 00:08:28,760
and went back to its acquired state.

84
00:08:30,060 --> 00:08:31,980
The reason I give you all that background

85
00:08:31,980 --> 00:08:34,240
is we're in this circumstance now

86
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,020
where Bank of New York decided a few years back

87
00:08:38,020 --> 00:08:42,400
that they did not need this building in the world of cloud computing and the world of remote access.

88
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,400
There was no reason to maintain this. They put it on the market and it was sold.

89
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:52,860
So we're now in the circumstance where there is a very big build. That is what you see here

90
00:08:52,860 --> 00:08:59,880
in this area, the former Bank of New York site. And included as the linear folks will explain,

91
00:09:00,860 --> 00:09:06,300
the former seven building at the top of the hill are all proposed now for this redevelopment.

92
00:09:08,260 --> 00:09:22,680
The route up there campus drive is actually owned by Foxwood, our access to the tennis courts, the site of the Bank of New York access to its site, and the access to seven involves easements across Foxwood's property.

93
00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:31,700
all recorded in all of those deeds. There is also an easement associated with this

94
00:09:31,700 --> 00:09:37,400
former Bank of New York property on Manda Lane through the middle of Foxwood. And as you guys in

95
00:10:01,380 --> 00:10:26,240
So, there you are. That's why we have this crazy circumstance. And that's why all of this site here about Foxwood and now wrapped around by Foxwood and told on this site is commercially-zoned for campus office. Either this site continues to be active, this site has been inactive since back in New York vacated, but it is currently commercially-zoned.

96
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,040
And so all that we confront is the question of what's going to happen next.

97
00:10:30,140 --> 00:10:33,900
It clearly isn't going to stay vacant forever.

98
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:40,220
Lunar has this proposal, others may have different views, but that's the starting point.

99
00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:44,120
So I invite the folks at Lunar to introduce what they're doing just to be clear.

100
00:10:44,660 --> 00:10:51,440
Obviously, all of us are here, Virginia Gray, our attorneys and land use matters from

101
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,200
from Cayman-Bean is here next to her students in Fibata.

102
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,140
I have the FJ planning to give the planner

103
00:10:58,580 --> 00:11:00,120
who will be involved in this process

104
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:01,340
on the village is behalf.

105
00:11:01,980 --> 00:11:04,360
Susan knows quite a bit about this property

106
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,100
and was the planner on the toll brothers project.

107
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,920
So she and her firm will back 10 years or more

108
00:11:11,660 --> 00:11:12,960
with the village of Pleasantville

109
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:17,220
and I think are well situated to participate in this review.

110
00:11:17,740 --> 00:11:20,080
I say at the outset and I've said to lots of people

111
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:24,560
we will approach me today. This is not an emergency meeting. You don't have to throw yourself

112
00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:31,240
in front of whatever bus you are concerned about. We will hear you and we understand that folks

113
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:37,240
have lots of concerns, but this is just the beginning of the explaining to people on the part of

114
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:42,700
what are what they propose to do, and the beginning of what will be a thoughtful, deliberative process

115
00:11:42,700 --> 00:11:49,160
with plenty of opportunity for folks to engage as we get around the road. So with that, I invite

116
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:53,460
Michael and our folks, maybe you could just introduce yourselves, who's here and take

117
00:11:53,460 --> 00:11:53,920
it over.

118
00:11:57,700 --> 00:11:58,520
Good evening, Mr. Mayor.

119
00:11:58,880 --> 00:11:59,720
Trustees for the record.

120
00:11:59,860 --> 00:12:00,980
My name is Tony Joffrey.

121
00:12:01,260 --> 00:12:06,120
I'm a member of the law firm, Cuddy and Fair, 445 Hamilton Avenue, which brings New York,

122
00:12:06,220 --> 00:12:08,920
and I'm here on behalf of US Alums doing business as a alarm.

123
00:12:09,460 --> 00:12:11,160
Mr. Mayor, thank you very much for that introduction.

124
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,180
I think it gives a good perspective in history.

125
00:12:14,300 --> 00:12:18,140
I'll see your knowledge of the area, a bunch better than what we could do, and so we thank

126
00:12:18,140 --> 00:12:18,520
you for that.

127
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:24,260
I'm joined this evening by our project team Bob Geiger, director of entitlements for

128
00:12:24,260 --> 00:12:29,680
Lunar, Jake Cunning, the director of Rain Act Positions for Lunar, Diego Villarreal, and

129
00:12:29,680 --> 00:12:34,220
Paul Seisek from JMC Planning, and my colleague Deb Patrick from Cunning Affair.

130
00:12:34,900 --> 00:12:38,000
The Sparer has indicated this is the beginning of a process.

131
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:43,360
We submitted a petition to amend the official zoning map of the village in order to permit

132
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:50,440
the 102 townhouse development that you mentioned. The properties that are subject to this proposal

133
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:56,260
and this petition include one campus drive and three campus drive and two properties that you

134
00:12:56,260 --> 00:13:01,960
highlighted in your slideshow. Those properties are both classified within the campus office district.

135
00:13:02,460 --> 00:13:07,840
It also includes eight carry court which is classified within our residential district

136
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,880
and the campus drive easement area that you also referenced on the magazine.

137
00:13:12,420 --> 00:13:17,880
The total project area is 20 and a half acres and we're proposing to replace the existing

138
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:23,360
structures that you identified, the 144,000 square foot vacant office building at Long Campus

139
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:30,740
Drive, associated parking, the 31,000 square foot partially vacant office building at three

140
00:13:30,740 --> 00:13:35,900
campus drive, as well as the vacant single family owned with the tax forage at 8 karat

141
00:13:35,900 --> 00:13:41,300
report. The premises, as you indicated, is bounded by the properties and foxwoods and

142
00:13:41,300 --> 00:13:48,240
toll brothers proposal, as well as the high-voltage transmission lines to itself. This

143
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:55,400
proposal includes and proposes to replace those structures with a 102 townhouse community.

144
00:13:55,940 --> 00:14:01,200
There will be 10% affordable units proposed in accordance with the code recordings.

145
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:08,680
We are also proposing six additional smaller design units, which would be more suitable for mid-range income households.

146
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:16,420
We are not proposing condominium development, we are not proposing rental, these will be fee simple units, e-simple ownership.

147
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,140
Army access is very vindicated, we will be coming from campus drive.

148
00:14:21,820 --> 00:14:30,360
And as part of this proposal, we are proposing to close off Mambolane for normal traffic, it will be closed and used for emergency access only.

149
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:37,320
And you'll see in a moment I'm going to have, just to be clever, you say clover, you mean the easement would cease.

150
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,960
So, Foxwood people would still use it.

151
00:14:41,420 --> 00:14:42,300
I mean, we would not be able to.

152
00:14:42,980 --> 00:14:43,580
It's one of five.

153
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:50,160
And you'll see in a proposal in the materials that we're going to present to you and the site, the conceptual site plan,

154
00:14:50,660 --> 00:14:56,820
that we took a lot of time and effort to respect and preserve the natural features and topography in the development.

155
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,920
and you'll see that happens to be our real walkie-through.

156
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:07,260
It zooms around, it's doing it. So in the end, it's sort of okay, but we don't have

157
00:15:07,260 --> 00:15:16,100
full control. Who is coming at? Good evening. My name is Bob Dagger, and I'm the director

158
00:15:16,100 --> 00:15:22,640
of entitlements at Lenore Homes, New York, New Jersey Division. And if anyone's not

159
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:29,580
Familiar with Lenore, Lenore Homes is a national publicly traded home building company.

160
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:35,900
Currently we are working in 27 states throughout the country. The New York and New Jersey

161
00:15:35,900 --> 00:15:45,040
division is quite vibrant. This coming year we are on track to close delivered 900 homes.

162
00:15:46,140 --> 00:15:51,800
We worked throughout the state of New Jersey, South Jersey, Central Jersey, the Coastal,

163
00:15:52,500 --> 00:15:53,220
and North Jersey.

164
00:15:54,490 --> 00:16:01,020
In New York State, we are currently working in, we currently have an active community located

165
00:16:01,020 --> 00:16:01,900
in Tuscita.

166
00:16:02,660 --> 00:16:10,450
That is a 1200 unit project that has multi facets, there's an active adult community, there's

167
00:16:10,450 --> 00:16:24,370
passes, multiple neighborhoods spread out across a large track and we are currently looking

168
00:16:25,150 --> 00:16:30,390
throughout the Hudson Valley and look to do more in Orange County, Westchester County

169
00:16:30,390 --> 00:16:32,090
and the greater Hudson Valley.

170
00:16:33,590 --> 00:16:39,670
And as for tonight, we welcome the opportunity to petition the Board of Trustees to rezone

171
00:16:39,670 --> 00:16:46,610
this property, the subject property, and remove the two existing office buildings, and as

172
00:16:46,610 --> 00:16:55,090
Tony stated, we're proposing a townhouse community. Again, Tony stated that they would be

173
00:16:55,090 --> 00:16:58,810
for sale, townhouses, and essential ownership.

174
00:17:01,050 --> 00:17:06,610
We're proposing the proposed site plan layout

175
00:17:06,610 --> 00:17:15,030
reflects the design parameters they're outlined in the PUD zone, maintaining the existing road pattern,

176
00:17:15,690 --> 00:17:22,170
the physical conditions such as the woods, the topography, the rock outcroppings,

177
00:17:22,170 --> 00:17:24,470
and the natural drainage pattern that's out there now.

178
00:17:26,490 --> 00:17:31,190
We do share some easements as was described

179
00:17:31,190 --> 00:17:36,910
tonight, access easements and utilities,

180
00:17:36,910 --> 00:17:38,110
easements and the like.

181
00:17:38,970 --> 00:17:42,350
And we also neighbor the Foxwoods community.

182
00:17:42,710 --> 00:17:47,410
So we met with representatives of the

183
00:17:47,410 --> 00:17:49,310
Foxwoods Homeowners Association.

184
00:17:50,050 --> 00:17:52,510
And we went through our proposal with them.

185
00:17:53,390 --> 00:17:56,890
Welcome to any concerns, questions,

186
00:17:57,530 --> 00:17:59,530
desires that they had to listen to that.

187
00:17:59,530 --> 00:18:04,750
And I think you'll find that tonight, when you see our proposal and the site plan in

188
00:18:04,750 --> 00:18:15,170
the layout, it will reflect that what went on in these discussions then did a big

189
00:18:15,170 --> 00:18:23,350
effort to try to achieve a mutual, initial mutual understanding of how these neighborhoods

190
00:18:23,350 --> 00:18:24,090
work together.

191
00:18:24,090 --> 00:18:27,290
You know, and I think the residential nature of this

192
00:18:27,850 --> 00:18:32,310
marries well with Foxwoods and the audience-laid community down on Washington Ave.

193
00:18:34,510 --> 00:18:40,570
And in summary, you know, I'm going to turn it back over to Tony and be there to go.

194
00:18:40,830 --> 00:18:47,530
But I do want everyone here to be aware that, you know, the team we put together has spent

195
00:18:47,530 --> 00:18:54,630
a lot of time walking the site, surveying the site, looked at all the existing infrastructure,

196
00:18:55,090 --> 00:19:02,050
all the road network, the traffic patterns, the existing flow of cars, traffic,

197
00:19:03,130 --> 00:19:07,750
and all the existing and drainage as well, and all the existing patterns that are out there.

198
00:19:08,410 --> 00:19:15,290
And so I want to, we have taken a very hard look at this and look forward to putting this

199
00:19:15,290 --> 00:19:19,410
for both of Bauer and I'm going to turn it over to Tony and the rest of the team can

200
00:19:19,410 --> 00:19:21,510
really get into some of the details.

201
00:19:22,390 --> 00:19:23,070
Thank you.

202
00:19:23,310 --> 00:19:23,390
Thanks.

203
00:19:26,830 --> 00:19:32,970
So, Mr. Mayor and members of the board, we're proposing a rezoning of your official map,

204
00:19:33,050 --> 00:19:37,970
as I mentioned earlier, and we're proposing to rezone the properties into the punishment.

205
00:19:38,570 --> 00:19:42,310
Two of the properties are already classified within the pun, and we're seeking to include

206
00:19:42,310 --> 00:19:46,750
the eight-carry core, I'm sorry, two of the properties are classified in the campus office,

207
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:28,360
Classification into the punishment, a carry court needs to be rezoned to the campus office district, which then can be rezoned into the public. And you're just here briefly, so people will be missed. The public district plan your developments, the same zoning that exists for told brothers and essentially. All right, probably the same density as exists units for acre response, but that's correct. So we're there's two ways for a development to be classified from public.

208
00:20:28,360 --> 00:20:34,680
It has to have contiguous acres of 25 acres, which we do not meet the eligibility requirement

209
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:35,000
for.

210
00:20:35,540 --> 00:20:38,780
The second is to have 15 acres within the CO district.

211
00:20:39,340 --> 00:20:43,140
Certainly right now both one campus and three campus meet that requirement, but we're

212
00:20:43,140 --> 00:20:50,140
also proposing to include the A. Carey Court property into that campus office so that collectively

213
00:20:50,140 --> 00:20:53,480
it can all be included for consideration into the button.

214
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:58,200
So effectively we do have a petition for a rezoning of the map, but it's effectively a two step

215
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:04,260
process. A carrot court would need to be reclassified to the campus office and then collectively all

216
00:21:04,260 --> 00:21:09,580
of the properties into the pungent district. With that, that's the boring part of the presentation.

217
00:21:10,140 --> 00:21:13,540
I'm going to hand it over to Mr. Villarreal, who will walk you through the conceptual plan,

218
00:21:13,980 --> 00:21:15,720
so you can report to yourselves with what we propose.

219
00:21:22,350 --> 00:21:26,290
You need me all, again, for the record, you need to go Villarreal with JNC,

220
00:21:27,330 --> 00:21:31,690
with the planning and engineering consultant that has had an opportunity to work on this project with

221
00:21:31,690 --> 00:21:39,330
the applicants. Again, just quickly, as has been indicated really by Mr. Joffrey and Mr.

222
00:21:39,430 --> 00:21:45,050
Geiger, we have really spent the tremendous amount of time getting up to this point with the

223
00:21:45,050 --> 00:21:52,550
overall design, the site plan. It was not something that was just developed and submitted quickly.

224
00:21:53,030 --> 00:22:01,130
There was really a lot of process, a lot of design and thought process that went into that consideration

225
00:22:01,130 --> 00:22:03,210
of natural features on the property,

226
00:22:03,770 --> 00:22:06,670
how the different units in the building's layout,

227
00:22:06,970 --> 00:22:09,610
the driveway, the access of all of those things

228
00:22:09,610 --> 00:22:13,050
were really looked at, studied as part of this process,

229
00:22:13,050 --> 00:22:15,590
and we looked at multiple different alternatives,

230
00:22:15,850 --> 00:22:17,510
how to make all that work together.

231
00:22:17,990 --> 00:22:19,810
And that's just something I wanted to start with

232
00:22:19,810 --> 00:22:21,910
before we dive into some of the details.

233
00:22:22,170 --> 00:22:25,050
I have a few slides to share with you this evening,

234
00:22:25,230 --> 00:22:28,110
just to convey that overall design process,

235
00:22:28,330 --> 00:22:29,690
how we got to where we are today,

236
00:22:29,690 --> 00:22:36,390
And just give you a preview of the site plan that was included in the package that was submitted to your board.

237
00:22:37,150 --> 00:22:41,350
The first slide here is really just to provide some context. It's an aerial photograph.

238
00:22:41,950 --> 00:22:44,910
Mr. Mayor, you had a number of slides that kind of reiterates.

239
00:22:44,930 --> 00:22:47,310
I don't want to dive into the details that you dove into.

240
00:22:47,890 --> 00:22:55,850
But this just gives you some context of the overall 20 plus acre portion of the property that is being considered here this evening.

241
00:22:55,850 --> 00:23:00,430
it's highlighted in that side in color. You can see Bedford Road. I'm just going to ask Paul

242
00:23:00,430 --> 00:23:05,490
my colleague to point to some of these for the benefit of everybody looking at Zoom. We're looking

243
00:23:05,490 --> 00:23:10,870
at the screen. You can see Bedford Road off to the bottom portion of the page. Obviously Foxwood's

244
00:23:10,870 --> 00:23:16,770
Condominium Association just due the north and northeast of the project site and then the enclave

245
00:23:16,770 --> 00:23:23,090
to the northwest of the portion of the property. To go to the next slide, now we can just zoom in

246
00:23:23,090 --> 00:23:28,290
a touch more. And it just gives you a little bit more context and detail. You could see more

247
00:23:28,290 --> 00:23:34,230
clearly can't describe the way it enters the site, the two existing buildings that are situated

248
00:23:34,230 --> 00:23:40,270
on the parking lot, and those large, expensive parking areas that exist throughout the property

249
00:23:40,270 --> 00:23:46,670
itself. You see the single family home on the plan left hand side of the page. That's the vacant

250
00:23:46,670 --> 00:23:54,690
single family home. That's part of this application as well. And we can just dive right into it.

251
00:23:55,390 --> 00:24:04,100
The next slide, just go to that one please. This is a rendering of the site plan that was

252
00:24:04,100 --> 00:24:11,700
included in the package. And as has been indicated, it's a total of 102 units that are situated within

253
00:24:11,700 --> 00:24:17,160
the multiple buildings throughout the project site. The buildings themselves are

254
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:21,180
are uniquely designed and situated in different areas.

255
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:22,780
Not all of them are the same.

256
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,240
This was not a cookie cutter design where buildings

257
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,280
just conveyed and multiplied throughout the site.

258
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,680
There's a number of different types of units,

259
00:24:30,980 --> 00:24:33,120
whether they're three pack, four pack, five packs,

260
00:24:33,220 --> 00:24:34,360
even six pack buildings.

261
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,120
All of them are selected based on their situation

262
00:24:38,120 --> 00:24:40,220
on the specific portion of the property

263
00:24:40,220 --> 00:24:41,400
that they're located within.

264
00:24:42,020 --> 00:24:44,920
I know everybody is very familiar with this property,

265
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:50,780
the topography. It's not a flat piece of site. You've come up. There's a number of natural features

266
00:24:50,780 --> 00:24:56,660
on the property. There's two large rock outcropings that surround campus drive. There's a number of

267
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:27,060
There's buffers that are existing between different portions of the property. All of those things were taken into consideration, like I said earlier on when we started laying out these buildings. Campus Drive really was the start of it. That's how we would access the property that was served as the main access to the development itself, and we'll see how it's pointing to it there. And then we really have three distinct areas of buildings that have been situated.

268
00:25:27,060 --> 00:25:38,020
The first one on the northern or northeastern side of the property, you can see there's a roadway that extends from man-built to campus drive and that connects those two roadways.

269
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,140
And then there's building situated on either side.

270
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:47,420
That's where one of the large buildings was situated and one of the larger parking areas.

271
00:25:47,420 --> 00:25:53,040
So, where there was an existing building and there's a large parking area, a lot of that is being removed.

272
00:25:53,380 --> 00:25:58,140
It's being replaced with the new residential buildings and the roadway itself.

273
00:25:58,700 --> 00:26:02,360
I know it was indicated earlier, but I think it's important to note it again.

274
00:26:03,060 --> 00:26:07,440
The access points off to Manville right now. There's two curb cuts out there.

275
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,680
They're being consolidated into one.

276
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:15,240
And then the site plan does show it for emergency purposes only so they would be gated off and blocked.

277
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:21,200
on the linear portion of the property, so Mandela is free to be used as it is today,

278
00:26:21,700 --> 00:26:26,140
but as far as coming into the site, we're meeting the site from that location,

279
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,300
it would be strictly for emergency purposes for a moment.

280
00:26:30,340 --> 00:26:36,980
When you come further up, campus drive, those are where those two large rock outcroppings are,

281
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,800
and those two hill areas with the trees, all of which would be preserved.

282
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:52,400
There's another leg of the development that would go off to the plant left-hand side there and that wraps around to where that residential building or the residential home is situated now.

283
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:57,840
So as you come down into that area, again, taking into consideration the topography.

284
00:26:58,260 --> 00:27:04,540
This is a great example of where we utilize the existing topography to help preserve some of the buffers.

285
00:27:04,540 --> 00:27:16,280
The buildings themselves like I said are not cookie cutter. They're not all we're not taking the land and manipulating the land to fit the building buildings are designed to fit with the land.

286
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:22,580
So some of them are designed as walkouts as the topography drops off on that left hand side of the page.

287
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:33,280
A building is situated there that is again specifically selected where we can take advantage of that and create a walkout or a lower level basement for the unit itself there.

288
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:41,780
So, again, it's all about selection of buildings and looking at the different unit types that they have available and how can it work best with the property itself.

289
00:27:42,940 --> 00:27:49,940
The next portion is really where the office building is situated. That's the back portion of the site.

290
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:57,240
Really parallel to the enclave and then a portion of the property that slopes down towards the road right there.

291
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:02,100
There, that area is probably the flattest portion of the property that's where the existing

292
00:28:02,100 --> 00:28:02,860
building is.

293
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,360
There's large parking lots that extend to the east and to the west of that.

294
00:28:07,100 --> 00:28:11,120
So by demolishing that building, we're able to take advantage of that opportunity, create

295
00:28:11,120 --> 00:28:16,080
a roadway, situate the buildings, but similar to the other portions of the property, we have

296
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:22,080
a number of walkouts and a number of tuck unders where the building is built into the hillside

297
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:26,680
where garage is under, and then the back side of it actually comes out at a higher level.

298
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,580
So we're able to utilize that in those areas as well.

299
00:28:31,180 --> 00:28:35,940
As part of this plan, lands gaping, maintaining those buffers was critical.

300
00:28:36,580 --> 00:28:46,460
You can see the large extents of the green area, the darker shaded green areas are wooded areas that would be preserved and protected as part of the proposed developments.

301
00:28:47,180 --> 00:28:52,880
We are not encroaching into significant areas. We're not going further than what's needed.

302
00:28:52,880 --> 00:29:01,320
It's really just what's needed for the buildings themselves, the grading around them, and then trying to protect and preserve as much as we possibly can.

303
00:29:01,740 --> 00:29:16,860
In addition to that, we already started to develop a robust landscaping plant to try to enhance landscaping on significant portions of property, especially on that north, north, eastern side where the large building was situated.

304
00:29:16,860 --> 00:29:29,780
But so there's a significant amount of landscaping that's being proposed along the lane behind the individual homes in that area where parking lots are situated today, all of that would be removed.

305
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:37,160
And it gives us opportunities to create a significant amount of landscaping and landscape areas in and around it.

306
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:29,960
We're fee of payment that it's less than what will be there today when you look at it and compare everything throughout the entire site. That ties into the stormwater management improvements. We understand stormwater is a concern. And it's always something that we look at as part of our proposed development plan. Again, as starting off with reduction in pervious areas starts to reduce the stormwater requirements right from the start. But regardless of that, we're incorporating a number of

307
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:36,180
stormwater management features, including some infiltration areas, water quality practices,

308
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,860
all of which is being considered as part of the proposed redevelopment.

309
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:45,360
So not only are you looking at a reduction in a pervious area, but you're looking at

310
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:49,700
other stormwater enhancements as part of the proposed project itself.

311
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:56,240
Parking for the development itself, you'd obviously each individual home is built with

312
00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:03,220
driveway and barrages within them so they parking within the driveways. We also created a couple

313
00:31:03,220 --> 00:31:08,880
of other parking areas throughout the development. Not to overpark it. We don't need significant

314
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:14,340
amount of parking because most of the parking occurs within the building itself. But we thought it

315
00:31:14,340 --> 00:31:20,080
was important to create some pockets of parking in and around the development area for guests and visitors

316
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:22,400
I

317
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:30,780
was going to pause there for a moment, that was really just a quick overview of the site

318
00:31:30,780 --> 00:31:31,100
plan.

319
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,620
I didn't know if there was any questions or any thoughts and the thing that the board

320
00:31:34,620 --> 00:31:37,040
wanted to ask at this point, happy to answer them.

321
00:31:37,860 --> 00:31:40,800
Are just sidewalks included to the plan?

322
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:41,700
Great question.

323
00:31:41,900 --> 00:31:42,040
Yes.

324
00:31:42,940 --> 00:31:48,380
There's a network of sidewalks that's incorporated throughout the development site, all built

325
00:31:48,380 --> 00:31:51,860
to create connectivity within the proposed development.

326
00:31:51,860 --> 00:31:56,560
So you do have a number of sidewalks that are being proposed on one side of the street.

327
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:57,980
We don't do it on both sides.

328
00:31:58,220 --> 00:32:00,620
So you have the roadway that be situated there.

329
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,560
Then you have sidewalks that are being constructed.

330
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:08,340
And again, the sidewalk would be constructed and brought down to campus drive as well.

331
00:32:08,780 --> 00:32:13,160
As part of this proposed plan, we are looking at campus drive.

332
00:32:13,500 --> 00:32:15,540
There's some improvements that need to be made to that.

333
00:32:15,700 --> 00:32:20,360
Not only to the roadway along its corridor, sidewalks that would get constructed,

334
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:29,840
but also the intersection downloaded all this highlighting right now as part of I know there was a number of comments and concerns related to that intersection.

335
00:32:30,300 --> 00:32:42,040
So we looked at making some modifications to kind of streamline how those two roadways come together to prevent cars from making a left hand turn into Foxwood condominium and vice versa.

336
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,420
and it's really direct to everybody on to campus drive,

337
00:32:45,580 --> 00:32:48,420
keep them on campus drive out to that for growth itself.

338
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,520
So that you can actually see in the rendering itself,

339
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,360
it's kind of shown how that would be reconfigured

340
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,560
to really funnel everybody down to that portion

341
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:58,520
of the property town.

342
00:33:02,650 --> 00:33:03,150
Where are you going?

343
00:33:04,170 --> 00:33:05,850
That was a little review of the site planning.

344
00:33:06,170 --> 00:33:07,710
It would be that dive into more details,

345
00:33:07,750 --> 00:33:10,190
but I didn't think I figured just tonight would do.

346
00:33:10,190 --> 00:33:12,010
I think we had a full overview of what's with detail.

347
00:33:12,150 --> 00:33:14,470
We've had this for a while since you submitted it.

348
00:33:14,470 --> 00:33:17,410
So, again, any other questions?

349
00:33:17,630 --> 00:33:18,330
Happy to answer them.

350
00:33:18,350 --> 00:33:19,050
I understood this.

351
00:33:19,530 --> 00:33:19,930
Elevations?

352
00:33:20,350 --> 00:33:20,630
Yeah.

353
00:33:22,470 --> 00:33:23,270
Elevations used.

354
00:33:23,830 --> 00:33:24,670
Oh, other buildings?

355
00:33:24,950 --> 00:33:25,090
Yeah.

356
00:33:25,390 --> 00:33:25,550
Sure.

357
00:33:25,810 --> 00:33:27,830
I wanted to go through some of the other natural things.

358
00:33:27,990 --> 00:33:31,550
Can you talk about the housing, stuff, any personal stuff?

359
00:33:31,830 --> 00:33:31,950
Sure.

360
00:33:32,690 --> 00:33:33,890
That's an activated simulation.

361
00:33:35,130 --> 00:33:35,530
Sure.

362
00:33:36,090 --> 00:33:36,710
I can't help it.

363
00:33:37,070 --> 00:33:37,290
Yeah.

364
00:33:37,430 --> 00:33:37,510
Yeah.

365
00:33:38,310 --> 00:33:41,310
And as Bob has come back up, and he's going to go through what was submitted.

366
00:33:41,310 --> 00:33:42,310
So,

367
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:52,740
what we're proposing or mainly two product types, the one on the top is the Schaefer

368
00:33:52,740 --> 00:33:53,080
model.

369
00:33:53,780 --> 00:34:00,760
That is 28 foot wide, two car garage, 50

370
00:34:03,190 --> 00:34:06,430
foot deep, three bedroom units.

371
00:34:07,290 --> 00:34:14,450
The bottom product is, as Diego talked about, these will fit into, there's a couple spots

372
00:34:14,450 --> 00:34:22,970
where there's some slopes backed up so these will be tuck under configuration where in the backyard

373
00:34:22,970 --> 00:34:30,550
it's two-story and in the front yard the garage entry the unit is two-story but from the back yard

374
00:34:31,410 --> 00:34:40,810
this first floor will be a grade level in the backyard. These units are 24-foot wide and three

375
00:34:40,810 --> 00:34:48,890
as well. Both of these units are very similar to what's out at the on-play on the

376
00:34:48,890 --> 00:34:58,770
Toll Routers community. There is an affordable unit that's required one more

377
00:34:58,770 --> 00:34:59,970
or Paulie's name, just...

378
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:21,080
You can see the one is COVID cheese ran and it has an additional little bump out in the kitchen area in the back and on the master bedroom up top. These will be sold in market rate prices, but will be a little more affordable than the other two units. So that is kind of the overview of the.

379
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:31,200
If you were the reason they've been constructed today and they're on the market today, can you give us what do you think the relative selling prices would be today?

380
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:46,440
I think today we're looking at this unit mix being not this model, the first two models, being in that high 900 to a million low one million.

381
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:56,100
And the market price 1500 square foot unit is a little harder to pin down.

382
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:03,640
Like to keep it in that just at $700,000 range that to 750.

383
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:05,980
You know, we'll see how that goes.

384
00:36:06,580 --> 00:36:08,380
It's hard to really nail that down.

385
00:36:08,380 --> 00:36:17,880
Okay, so it included in this, I know, people always inquire, are there units that provide

386
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,860
a natural suite on the main floor?

387
00:36:21,720 --> 00:36:27,760
As of today, we go through this with our marketing posts, that could be office.

388
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:32,400
The Schaefer model potentially could handle that.

389
00:36:32,540 --> 00:36:40,520
A true minister down sweep really works at 30 feet to 32 foot wide.

390
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,880
So as of today, these are not truly set up for that.

391
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:51,620
I just thought really because there are certainly folks who are interested,

392
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:57,120
older folks interested in a place where they go to Asian place in the event

393
00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:03,840
that say it became a problem later in life and there may be you know a percentage as we move along

394
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:10,580
where I know we are adding that around so we would get in adjustment. Two of the things that

395
00:37:10,580 --> 00:37:14,820
you're presenting I don't want to start getting into a lot of my appeal you all are gone. Oh

396
00:37:16,060 --> 00:37:20,960
no on site plan I think that's it so then this is the York texture or it's in the other. By

397
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:27,440
the application correctly, there was some, the assumption was that in these hundred and a few odd

398
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:34,100
units you'd get a total of something like 44 kids, is that right? Am I reading that right? I don't

399
00:37:34,100 --> 00:37:39,520
know if I'm not good at practicality. So we did an analysis for the school age, generation of

400
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:45,120
school age children, and again it's preliminary, there's still additional and I know portions and

401
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:49,400
I understand that there's some comments that we're going to be coming forward that we're going to be

402
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,900
looking into providing some comparable to give you a better idea and

403
00:37:52,900 --> 00:37:56,420
generally clear the process that we will go through to review in this would

404
00:37:56,420 --> 00:38:01,000
require detail on all of these categories. So this is so we could be

405
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,920
providing that open. The fiscal analysis comparable to the data that I do as opposed

406
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:09,300
to the straight mathematical analysis. Now it's not generally accurate. So

407
00:38:09,300 --> 00:38:14,740
there's right now the analysis proposes 21 children between you know

408
00:38:14,740 --> 00:38:20,760
kindergarten through 4th grade, 14, between 5th and 8th grade, and 7th school age showed

409
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:21,400
it at 4th.

410
00:38:21,420 --> 00:38:22,560
So 42 kids.

411
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:33,980
The average family size is around 2-ish, in general, among people who have moved in

412
00:38:33,980 --> 00:38:34,120
here.

413
00:38:34,220 --> 00:38:39,100
So you're probably talking about 20 or 25 of those units having children.

414
00:38:39,500 --> 00:38:41,960
Is that the sort of your thought, your thinking here?

415
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:47,460
Well, again, the analysis that we provided to you was basically, we should not map analysis to part about that.

416
00:38:47,860 --> 00:38:59,020
Well, I guess what I'm wondering from marketing perspective is who, what's the profile of the person who lives in the other 80, some units or the other 70 units?

417
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:01,460
Like, who is being attracted?

418
00:39:01,460 --> 00:39:06,280
These are 3,000 square-page units with three bathrooms, right?

419
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:07,280
That's right.

420
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:08,920
So that's a pretty large house.

421
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,180
And I know that we have them in the village.

422
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,000
But I'm asking you what you're thinking, um,

423
00:39:15,820 --> 00:39:17,940
or upwards of $1,000,000.

424
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,540
Who are you marketing to?

425
00:39:22,060 --> 00:39:23,080
In buzzing bill.

426
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:25,040
We're doing what they're working.

427
00:39:26,500 --> 00:39:27,580
We're doing $1,000,000.

428
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:28,520
They're not current.

429
00:39:28,580 --> 00:39:30,680
Just to follow onto that.

430
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:36,800
I mean, in essence, what we're posing is very similar to the existing economic model,

431
00:39:37,460 --> 00:39:43,600
and likely the population that we see in the on-play, the 12 reds project.

432
00:39:44,720 --> 00:39:44,940
There?

433
00:39:45,700 --> 00:39:46,260
Yes.

434
00:39:47,700 --> 00:39:52,500
Well, but I mean, you guys are in the development side, right?

435
00:39:52,940 --> 00:39:53,160
Right.

436
00:39:53,620 --> 00:39:55,060
Who's your customer?

437
00:39:55,060 --> 00:39:59,620
families and also move down buyers a lot.

438
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:29,420
Yes. Well, but on the, I mean, you guys are, you're on the development side, right? So, right? Because you're, who's your customer, who's your family's and also move down buyers. A lot, really, 50 to 65, 70 years old. So, these are empty nesters in the healthy part of their life. It's what you're sort of. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We'll have an opportunity to meet. Let's just, right.

439
00:40:31,940 --> 00:40:37,860
I think the better hitting directly, Dilson, he enclave is the demographic of that.

440
00:40:38,500 --> 00:40:40,540
The proof is there, what is there.

441
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:45,360
The children, everything is really going to be very simple.

442
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:47,220
No, I just want to understand.

443
00:40:50,180 --> 00:40:57,440
The next question is, I know I do there.

444
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:07,380
So maybe you did this because you felt an obligation, but for the smaller units who do you think will and not the not the affordable units but the market rate units.

445
00:41:07,700 --> 00:41:13,500
I think that is more of an opportunity for a younger family to invent to those. Yes. Okay.

446
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:38,600
With the, now there's double garages on the bigger units and single garages on the other units is, and maybe it's for you guys to tell us in terms of the zoning, the residents are they allowed to have the number of cars that they're garageal fit and they park on the driveway is there street parking what's the situation.

447
00:41:45,460 --> 00:41:53,660
So if this is resumbed to a HUD district, it's really based on planning considerations.

448
00:41:54,320 --> 00:42:00,460
So in a HUD district, you don't have in your code, there's strict zoning requirements.

449
00:42:00,700 --> 00:42:04,660
It's more based on what works for the site, what makes for us from the plan.

450
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:09,180
We should get teased out of the contract, get a site plan review, and get to that one.

451
00:42:09,180 --> 00:42:16,380
or typically this basis will be upstream so they be in their driveway or the garage or combination

452
00:42:16,380 --> 00:42:25,720
or two. For the rest of us. So I guess the question I have from the village point of view

453
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:33,940
is that the, you know, when we change our name, we change zoning because we think it will be in the

454
00:42:33,940 --> 00:42:35,320
and that benefit of the building, right?

455
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:40,540
And of course there's a concern about what would happen

456
00:42:40,540 --> 00:42:43,700
if the existing office buildings

457
00:42:43,700 --> 00:42:45,920
are either reoccupied or redeveloped,

458
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,160
which seems like a distinct possibility.

459
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,820
And that might end up being a worse situation.

460
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:54,600
We have a concern about the storm drainage

461
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:55,980
for short as an issue.

462
00:42:57,240 --> 00:42:59,200
But then in terms of goals for the building,

463
00:42:59,420 --> 00:43:00,760
I think one of the biggest problems

464
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:06,520
we have in this community, when surrounding communities in the Westchester in general, is that

465
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:16,040
people who work here cannot afford to live here. As seniors age, the ability for seniors who don't

466
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:23,360
have 10 million dollars plus of asset assets to live in place or to live within the community is very

467
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:33,480
limited. And so I'm curious was it the is it marketing? Is it the constrictions of the zoning,

468
00:43:33,700 --> 00:43:38,100
the specific zoning that you're working with, or is it some other reason that has you putting

469
00:43:38,740 --> 00:43:49,920
a lot of these luxury and the master apartments units and very small number of the starter home,

470
00:43:50,540 --> 00:43:57,780
retiree home worker home units in into this thing. So in other words, is it a maximizing

471
00:43:57,780 --> 00:44:01,280
profit thing? Is it, well, the zoning can't really accommodate it, or is it some other

472
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:01,600
reason?

473
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,440
I'm not really sure I understand your question.

474
00:44:07,980 --> 00:44:10,280
Well, what I'm saying is it's very, very question.

475
00:44:10,380 --> 00:44:16,740
If we said, well, look, what we think would be better for the village is a whole bunch of

476
00:44:16,740 --> 00:44:20,820
1500 square foot townhouses because, you know, $700,000

477
00:44:20,820 --> 00:44:24,880
and sound like a bargain, but it is at least in the

478
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,220
realm of possibility for, you know,

479
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,080
somebody who owns a small business here

480
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,360
or people who are downsizing from a bigger house

481
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:36,620
who are local who may have been there since the 50s

482
00:44:36,620 --> 00:44:38,740
and are not going to have, you know,

483
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:45,200
the bank account to finance a 1.2 million dollar house,

484
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,620
Our housing stock in the village, currently.

485
00:45:04,740 --> 00:45:29,840
So, we, we, we, during our pre-alcoholism and planning design, we took a look at the market and what's available and the housing stock. We also took a look at your comprehensive plan, right? And some goals and policies that the village has set out for development for planning for master planning. And this proposal is consistent with that. We're, we're, if we did smaller units, there would probably be any for more

486
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:34,280
density. And the density is not committed under your zoning, but that's the zoning issue.

487
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:38,720
So that's the one hundred percent of the old purchase one. So I can ask you guys a question now.

488
00:45:39,900 --> 00:45:46,940
Is this the only zoning alternative that we have or can we customize zoning to our needs if

489
00:45:46,940 --> 00:45:47,880
they're going to change something?

490
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,640
It's the only zoning alternative you have in your current

491
00:45:53,640 --> 00:46:00,240
regulation. And about to create a new zone that you would feel comfortable with. That's like

492
00:46:00,240 --> 00:46:04,140
guys very, they killed the crime or like I'm just reading your

493
00:46:04,140 --> 00:46:08,860
saying sorry, we tried to work with the construct. No, I

494
00:46:08,860 --> 00:46:15,960
understand. I don't understand. You know, we, I'll just the

495
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:19,880
sorry, I don't need to drop it off. Currently, the provisions in

496
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,700
the pod district that the applicant's applying under requires

497
00:46:22,700 --> 00:46:27,780
15 contiguous acres, and there's a specific density that is

498
00:46:27,780 --> 00:46:31,320
is spelled out in the code for that, I believe it's.

499
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:34,260
Sorry, units for acre.

500
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:38,260
So, if you wanted to change that density,

501
00:46:38,380 --> 00:46:39,660
that would be within your current due,

502
00:46:40,060 --> 00:46:42,180
but it's inconsistent, not inconsistent

503
00:46:42,180 --> 00:46:43,400
with the company as a plan.

504
00:46:45,180 --> 00:46:47,740
And it would be in the form of a text amendments.

505
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:49,940
So, right now, what the applicant is requesting

506
00:46:49,940 --> 00:46:52,080
is a zoning map amendment.

507
00:46:52,300 --> 00:46:55,140
So, she has a zoning designation of the properties

508
00:46:55,140 --> 00:47:01,320
in order to allow for increased density above what they're currently allowed in the code,

509
00:47:01,780 --> 00:47:07,480
you would have to change the text of your zoning code to allow for more than that five units per

510
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:12,080
acre. Right, and I'm not suggesting that you do this, and I'm not suggesting this is necessarily what

511
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:20,240
we all want to do, but I am trying to understand, is that a huge burden to us, to the applicant, to others,

512
00:47:20,240 --> 00:47:25,040
if we were to decide that that's economically what we wanted to happen for

513
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:31,620
this property. It's doable. I mean for the for the 12 others projects in 2013

514
00:47:31,620 --> 00:47:36,460
I believe it was at that time it's both a map and text amendment. I mean as

515
00:47:36,460 --> 00:47:41,060
the existing PUD needed some tweaks to allow that development to happen. So there

516
00:47:41,060 --> 00:47:44,760
was a text amendment as well as a map amendment at that time. This applicant is

517
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:49,360
proposing a map amendment and the other last work within the existing text. So you

518
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:53,840
You could certainly within your authority to change the density, what that appropriate

519
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:56,560
density about it is going to have to be analyzed.

520
00:47:57,240 --> 00:48:00,980
There's a good analysis, and we also have to take a look at your comprehensive plan because

521
00:48:00,980 --> 00:48:04,000
you can't change zoning, that is inconsistent with your comprehensive plan.

522
00:48:04,420 --> 00:48:07,660
So we stay within your goals, your policies, and your existing zones.

523
00:48:07,700 --> 00:48:13,520
No, I understand why you did what you did, where, you know, it's not 2017 anymore, either.

524
00:48:13,700 --> 00:48:15,160
So we're in a different era.

525
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:17,540
Sorry.

526
00:48:17,540 --> 00:48:19,920
All right, I'll deal with the other question.

527
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:22,180
I'll do the more.

528
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:25,400
I'm also anxious to hear what public has to say.

529
00:48:25,540 --> 00:48:25,820
Was that part?

530
00:48:26,980 --> 00:48:28,900
Can I answer one thing, please?

531
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:30,680
Just a little bit with the question.

532
00:48:31,140 --> 00:48:33,180
It is when you look at the site plan,

533
00:48:33,660 --> 00:48:35,560
we really are following.

534
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:37,840
There's different levels, different platforms,

535
00:48:38,260 --> 00:48:40,520
different existing rows and where buildings were

536
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:44,800
and the disturbance already, to do anything,

537
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:54,940
We're getting more density, different product type is going to, you're going to want to flatten things out and not things to try to make things.

538
00:48:55,120 --> 00:49:08,140
If you take one of those wide units that has essentially two faces that has two car garage and everything and you move it to the chase, was it the chase?

539
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:19,580
Yeah, so that would necessitate in itself, changing the topography?

540
00:49:20,460 --> 00:49:27,100
Yes, to get the density that would also, again, you have high infrastructure costs here,

541
00:49:27,940 --> 00:49:36,500
the demolishing these buildings, and all their associated infrastructure and parking and things like that, and redoing campus drive.

542
00:49:36,500 --> 00:49:42,300
This is a little bit like you've raised the question and it's a little bit of a kind of everything

543
00:49:42,300 --> 00:49:47,220
Following the zoning right we tried to do right right there is a cost factor involved

544
00:49:47,220 --> 00:49:53,400
Right, and then there gets to be an over density and starting to start the land a little and also

545
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:55,200
Those are gonna bring more school

546
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:22,840
We say the density is creating a difference. I'm just very simple minded, and I'm saying if there's a 24-foot wide unit and you're replacing it with two 24 or 22-foot wide units, that seems like yes, it's more density, but it doesn't seem to change our opinions.

547
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:27,380
Maybe it's a great spot now because there's an advantage, one of the occasions for developer

548
00:50:27,380 --> 00:50:29,900
and any developer has to cut it out for them.

549
00:50:30,020 --> 00:50:30,520
It's financial.

550
00:50:31,540 --> 00:50:35,160
And those dimensions are when he ends up working on it.

551
00:50:36,020 --> 00:50:42,600
If you also have 14 or half of that, if you have 24 and a half is 12 for one, that's not

552
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:42,880
it.

553
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:46,060
And if you increase number of units, then it would not be in compliance with zoning.

554
00:50:46,780 --> 00:50:51,320
Because you know, well, the zoning is a separate issue, and again, it's, you know, when we looked

555
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:57,880
this site and we followed the PUDs. Yeah. Yeah. It was really thought out for this small spot

556
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:05,520
and like it was a little bit easy to follow but it definitely led us to that kind of plant.

557
00:51:05,860 --> 00:51:12,620
So if you had let's say the market was different and you didn't believe that in Pleasantville

558
00:51:13,140 --> 00:51:20,500
you could sell more than say like 50 of the over one million dollar units at three thousand square

559
00:51:21,260 --> 00:51:26,060
would you have said, assuming the zoning was not the constraint, would you have said,

560
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:29,600
oh, this is a viable property or no, this is not a viable property or no.

561
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:33,340
I'm sorry.

562
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:34,740
Say, say, say, say anything.

563
00:51:35,580 --> 00:51:40,660
So, if you come into this and you're marching, people are told you, you know what?

564
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:48,860
Emplations of people are concerned about this and that we don't think that we're going to sell

565
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:55,580
more than 50 more units in a development above $1,000,000 dollars at 3,000 square feet.

566
00:51:56,140 --> 00:51:58,820
If you want to develop this, we need more smaller units.

567
00:51:58,980 --> 00:52:01,200
That's just where we think the economics are ahead.

568
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:07,940
Would you have said as the developer to them, this just has to work out with this piece of

569
00:52:07,940 --> 00:52:08,200
product?

570
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:12,000
I don't think we can answer that because we've looked at your existing zoning, a variety of

571
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:12,340
active land.

572
00:52:12,460 --> 00:52:12,720
Fair enough.

573
00:52:13,180 --> 00:52:17,800
So, and one of the other comments I wanted to make, as well as just go into the street chase

574
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:21,020
with the chain square and we'd give them to power for me that they'd have the heights.

575
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:23,940
I don't know that we would comply with the height requirements.

576
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:26,960
There's a lot of others that could be clear.

577
00:52:27,220 --> 00:52:32,240
Maybe if I'm understanding that, if he's one of the most advanced use you're exploring

578
00:52:32,240 --> 00:52:35,700
to have more than a hundred students, all they're smaller.

579
00:52:37,820 --> 00:52:39,640
There's a lot of issues there, right?

580
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:43,160
And not the least of which is what happens if we don't do this, right?

581
00:52:44,800 --> 00:53:09,200
And I guess I'm just curious, like, yeah, nobody wants more traffic, for sure, but I do wonder like we all, I think most of the people in the village would agree that housing cost is very big issue, and that this is a hard place to get a football then whether you're, you know, working in a little business, whether you're starting family, et cetera.

582
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:13,660
But, you know, I would at least sort of like, you know, what our options are.

583
00:53:13,860 --> 00:53:14,540
That's all I'm saying.

584
00:53:15,020 --> 00:53:15,080
Okay.

585
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:18,740
Speaking on what people are concerned about, quite a distraught firm.

586
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:18,920
Yeah.

587
00:53:19,240 --> 00:53:19,940
It was good.

588
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:20,140
Yeah.

589
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:25,980
We did have a lot of emails and there was a very large Facebook, which I sort of categorized

590
00:53:25,980 --> 00:53:26,460
the topics.

591
00:53:27,020 --> 00:53:33,300
So you guys are aware of some of the concerns from a larger group here, but, um, traffic and

592
00:53:33,300 --> 00:53:37,460
road congestion just increased volume backups on Medford Road.

593
00:53:37,460 --> 00:53:41,920
These are all residents that live in the area. There's a lot of both, like a lot of you to

594
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:46,720
vocalize what the track is currently. So that's, I hope you guys mentioned if you did do your own

595
00:53:46,720 --> 00:53:51,600
track and study. And then is that correct? No. So we've done some preliminary traffic work where

596
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:55,720
there's going to be a more of a bus traffic study with levels of service analysis when we look at

597
00:53:55,720 --> 00:54:01,300
intersections. And I understand the neighbors' concerns, particularly those are the ways to

598
00:54:01,300 --> 00:54:06,140
that issue as well. The one thing that is not taken to the consideration right now is the

599
00:54:06,140 --> 00:54:08,740
the office building was, you know, or vacant at this point.

600
00:54:09,100 --> 00:54:12,240
If those office buildings were a full capacity,

601
00:54:12,980 --> 00:54:14,880
we'd be trying to have a completely different discussion.

602
00:54:15,180 --> 00:54:18,240
But, you know, it is right now, we'll be doing those analyses.

603
00:54:18,500 --> 00:54:19,660
Let me give you that additional question.

604
00:54:20,020 --> 00:54:21,020
This is our first night here.

605
00:54:21,140 --> 00:54:21,340
Definitely.

606
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:22,940
There's going to be many, many meetings.

607
00:54:23,100 --> 00:54:23,940
No, I just wanted to sit out.

608
00:54:24,240 --> 00:54:25,920
There's going to be a minute for me to say that I love

609
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:26,920
so much about the public interest.

610
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:27,440
Okay, great.

611
00:54:28,980 --> 00:54:29,620
They're not all vacant.

612
00:54:29,820 --> 00:54:29,980
They're not booked.

613
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:30,420
They did.

614
00:54:30,660 --> 00:54:31,240
Runs vacant again.

615
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:32,840
And now, the other one and the other was full.

616
00:54:33,240 --> 00:54:33,600
Okay.

617
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:38,160
in the business in there, so that the old seven building is occupied.

618
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:42,340
Right, the building in New York, building 144,000 bird food is vacant.

619
00:54:43,900 --> 00:54:49,380
Who owns those two buildings currently, do those are all of them?

620
00:54:50,140 --> 00:54:51,600
So, before we open that, sir.

621
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:13,280
I just want to make sure that we are vocalizing when people and concerns are pedestrian safety

622
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:18,800
and emergency response, just delay and speaking traffic, there's a lot of different threads

623
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:24,600
on that, but these are the high level topics, public services and fiscal impact, recreation,

624
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:31,200
in schools and community resources. This was a particular one specifically because I didn't see

625
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:38,620
your plan in any sort of public space or anywhere where the village could kind of benefit from,

626
00:55:38,780 --> 00:55:43,760
or like a, besides maybe sidewalks. I could say from that environment and green space, which I know

627
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:48,080
you guys have put tremendous amount of work and obviously into looking into this space.

628
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:53,380
Sidewalks and connectivity, which you touched on a little bit here, and infrastructure, zoning,

629
00:55:53,380 --> 00:55:59,280
density and village character, specifically just rezoning these

630
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:04,840
canvases for high density units. So it's kind of a huge concern that the

631
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:08,560
development of roads plus most small town town. It's spotted up against a lot of

632
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:13,300
different concerns that are going on. Transparency, ownership and accountability,

633
00:56:14,540 --> 00:56:18,980
people were requesting this goes property ownership and developed our identities,

634
00:56:18,980 --> 00:56:25,980
these, um, developer contributions and conditions. So I think that that was sort of the overview

635
00:56:25,980 --> 00:56:32,500
I had, um, established between emails and posts, just being each other, everyone, we can

636
00:56:32,500 --> 00:56:36,220
go deeper. And I'm sure people are here tonight, obviously, go on with that. Sorry.

637
00:56:37,240 --> 00:56:42,840
I think this is the, all right. We'll wait for a moment. If you would, we'll break it open

638
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:48,800
very soon. So other board comments. So, so, let me say Jennifer, you know,

639
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:52,640
I find wrong, but one of the things we will leave for Utobi is a draft.

640
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:57,160
Amendment, zoning amendment, please text it, the zoning amendment.

641
00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:59,340
In a local format, the average, right?

642
00:56:59,940 --> 00:57:04,560
So Susan, do you have any further to ask that you think we will, I mean, certainly we'll

643
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:06,700
be asking for a lot as you've already referred to.

644
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:11,000
There's a clear process for fiscal impact draft, is for school generation, all those things.

645
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:16,540
Yeah, we've asked for an expanded fund study which, yeah, we're going to full fiscal impact

646
00:57:16,540 --> 00:57:22,620
analysis, school children analysis that is incomparable. I would say based on the experience in pleasant

647
00:57:22,620 --> 00:57:27,040
build, particularly the 12-wether site, and other comparable in our properties perhaps in the region,

648
00:57:27,260 --> 00:57:32,660
like what are the actual generation rates from those developments? So when we return to stormwater,

649
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:39,820
management plans, excuse me, informational works of solar capacity, for structure, and conceptual

650
00:57:39,820 --> 00:57:43,360
or landscaping land to have it on the chain, things like tree growth.

651
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:46,820
Well, we're fully anticipate that there's going to be additional comments and things that

652
00:57:46,820 --> 00:57:47,280
we're meeting.

653
00:57:47,540 --> 00:57:47,680
Sure.

654
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:53,040
We can work with your consultants and staff on just to make sure that we drill down on exactly

655
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:56,020
what you're going to be looking for and have a complete petition for you for your review.

656
00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:59,760
Particularly as it relates to the secret analysis that will go along with us.

657
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:02,040
Yeah, generally that's going to be part of the secret process.

658
00:58:02,380 --> 00:58:06,160
The only other last thing is just the treatment of before we ends to make sure that

659
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:09,060
their first and in this English opening exterior.

660
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:10,240
That shows that there was some requirements.

661
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:12,800
So we'll talk about it more as that.

662
00:58:14,340 --> 00:58:15,020
All right, so,

663
00:58:16,860 --> 00:58:18,220
perfectly, we've been open to public comment,

664
00:58:18,340 --> 00:58:20,360
and anyone who wishes to speak is welcome to do so

665
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:20,960
and come forward.

666
00:58:21,300 --> 00:58:22,740
We need your name and address for the record.

667
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:26,540
But I also wanna make clear that as you have heard tonight,

668
00:58:26,900 --> 00:58:28,280
a lot of information has been presented.

669
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:29,620
You're gonna have a lot of questions out of the room.

670
00:58:30,740 --> 00:58:33,040
You need not feel that it's an emergency need

671
00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:34,360
to say what you think tonight.

672
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:53,040
We will have many opportunities, and I say that not to discourage anyone, but there will be many opportunities and including some specifically focused on each of these issues that have been brought to us already and that the applicant has has made reference to but we'll provide more detail on. So with that, I'm sorry.

673
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:56,000
And I just give a sense of the seeker process.

674
00:58:56,180 --> 00:58:56,560
Oh, great.

675
00:58:56,760 --> 00:58:57,480
I should have been current.

676
00:58:57,780 --> 00:59:01,040
The requested action here is a rezoning.

677
00:59:01,220 --> 00:59:03,300
And that is only something that the bill is working right.

678
00:59:03,740 --> 00:59:06,260
So in terms of the state Marlon Quality Review Act,

679
00:59:06,460 --> 00:59:07,080
the bill is bored.

680
00:59:07,220 --> 00:59:08,240
There will be a bleed agency.

681
00:59:08,780 --> 00:59:10,740
And we'll conduct a full environmental review.

682
00:59:10,860 --> 00:59:12,840
The applicant has submitted some initial documentation.

683
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:15,780
But there will be, as you just heard, more analysis,

684
00:59:15,980 --> 00:59:16,560
more documentation.

685
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:19,480
And there will be a whole process in terms of seeker.

686
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:21,380
That will be coordinated with the planning commission

687
00:59:21,980 --> 00:59:26,960
because the plan commission is resorting successful than that, but the body will have

688
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:30,620
the authority for the site plan, and I'm assuming it's subdivision as well,

689
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:35,580
application for the plan commission. So we'll be closely coordinated with the commission,

690
00:59:35,740 --> 00:59:41,220
but the bill is for Islead agency as the mayor and the head of lots of opportunities for public

691
00:59:41,220 --> 00:59:46,700
comment and review. It's built into that secret process. We have a client here, chair of the

692
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:51,280
I'm sorry, I interrupted.

693
00:59:51,540 --> 00:59:52,960
No, that's not your fault.

694
00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:55,660
Do you want me to talk about process?

695
00:59:56,180 --> 00:59:56,420
Please.

696
00:59:56,540 --> 00:59:58,680
What the steps are going to be held in addition to secret.

697
00:59:59,340 --> 00:59:59,980
The next step.

698
01:00:00,180 --> 01:00:30,140
The planning commission, you'd also be referring the proposed local law to the planning commission for their advisory report back to you in addition to a Wester's or county planning and any other interested agency. So once you're ready to take that step, the planning commission will then review the proposed legislation, the proposed project that goes along with that and give an advisory report back to the Board of Trustees as to whether or not they think that

699
01:00:30,140 --> 01:00:37,820
the project and the proposed zoning is a good idea. Once that report comes back to you,

700
01:00:37,980 --> 01:00:43,200
you would schedule public hearing on the proposed legislation for the rezoning,

701
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:48,260
and that once that public hearing has concluded, that's when you would make your secret determination

702
01:00:48,260 --> 01:00:54,860
and decide the rezoning. So there are several steps along the way and lots of opportunity for public

703
01:00:54,860 --> 01:01:01,660
comment and participation along as well. Both informal and formal. All right, anything else there?

704
01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:08,680
So let me just say in my life as your mayor, I spent plenty of nights saying, please

705
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:15,280
real estate gods, let Bank of New York stay there because we had this incredible charmed

706
01:01:16,380 --> 01:01:23,540
decades-long area when there is a very, I think it's the biggest building in Pleasantville, New York

707
01:01:23,540 --> 01:01:25,820
that is essentially empty with a couple of people

708
01:01:25,820 --> 01:01:29,740
caretaving for them by the existing code

709
01:01:29,740 --> 01:01:33,200
that could be repopulated as of right

710
01:01:33,540 --> 01:01:36,520
if someone decided to buy or lease it for commercial purpose

711
01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:38,460
in system without campus off the zoning.

712
01:01:38,620 --> 01:01:41,820
And so the fact that Bank of New York decided

713
01:01:41,820 --> 01:01:45,100
they no longer needed it presented a risk

714
01:01:46,500 --> 01:01:49,360
and hopefully an opportunity, whatever turns out to be,

715
01:01:49,940 --> 01:01:52,060
that has been lingering since Bank of New York Department.

716
01:01:52,060 --> 01:02:00,200
So that's kind of the context in which all of this is happening over the past some years,

717
01:02:00,820 --> 01:02:08,580
lots of people have kept the tires of this project, including projects that were commercial

718
01:02:08,580 --> 01:02:10,440
and nature, but not consistent with the zoning.

719
01:02:12,700 --> 01:02:15,240
In the end, this is the only one that's gotten to

720
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:18,060
at this point that I'm making such an application.

721
01:02:18,420 --> 01:02:21,460
So with that, if folks would like to speak,

722
01:02:22,020 --> 01:02:23,720
I'm the volume name and address

723
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:24,800
and let us know what you're thinking.

724
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:27,020
Tom, come on up.

725
01:02:30,410 --> 01:02:30,570
Yes.

726
01:02:31,950 --> 01:02:34,470
Tom, really, 26 will be right.

727
01:02:35,010 --> 01:02:40,330
Just a few comments on the whole brothers project,

728
01:02:40,330 --> 01:02:43,710
which is much smaller than this proposed project.

729
01:02:43,710 --> 01:02:51,610
68 instead of 1 or 2 has increased traffic then cold through my street. They they have figured

730
01:02:51,610 --> 01:02:57,910
out our way out not to get through this disaster traffic light by Dunkin Donuts by cutting through

731
01:02:57,910 --> 01:03:06,270
hill to drive going over the hill. And during school school hours it's like the Indian app of

732
01:03:06,270 --> 01:03:16,350
the speed way. I mean that sincerely. That's one concern. The next concern with 102 projects

733
01:03:17,950 --> 01:03:24,570
units would be, I would really like to see the math and the formulas that you have come up with

734
01:03:24,570 --> 01:03:31,770
to say that out of all those units that you're only going to have like 42 school kids as absolutely

735
01:03:31,770 --> 01:03:39,650
ridiculous. In my small street from 1960, when it was brand new, there were 24 families

736
01:03:40,230 --> 01:03:49,450
and they had 26 kids on one street. And you're telling me that out of 102 units. There's

737
01:03:49,450 --> 01:03:55,150
only going to be 44. I would really would like to see the math with a formula. How do you

738
01:03:55,150 --> 01:04:01,130
work it out? And you will see that. And as far as traffic goes,

739
01:04:01,130 --> 01:04:05,190
was, you can do all the surveys you need and spend all the money you need.

740
01:04:05,430 --> 01:04:09,330
All you need to do is stand on the corner any time in Fresno and look.

741
01:04:09,850 --> 01:04:17,210
It is absolutely horrible, particularly at the corner of Washington Avenue and Mammal

742
01:04:17,210 --> 01:04:19,430
Road by Duncan Donuts and the theater.

743
01:04:20,390 --> 01:04:22,210
You make a right turn there.

744
01:04:22,710 --> 01:04:27,250
I'm green and the minute you get to the corner, the light is red and in fact all the way up

745
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:29,980
So, so, so, and I documented the times when it has happened to me in terms of because there was no, no, no, no, rhyme or reason. Sometimes it's eight o'clock in the morning and the other time is that's 530 to at night. As far as the units, this town, this village is so overpopulated. Now the last thing we need are more apartments that people. I'll say normal income families could possibly

746
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:39,700
they can't report it. You brought it up. Now there's a reason for zoning. Zoning laws are there

747
01:05:39,700 --> 01:05:46,220
is to protect the village and the residence for whatever that area was owned for. And all you have

748
01:05:46,220 --> 01:05:54,180
to do is change the zoning and go from commercial to residential. This is just not right. Now I realized

749
01:05:54,180 --> 01:06:01,080
that that kept residential and residential businesses moved in, you would still have a lot of traffic,

750
01:06:01,500 --> 01:06:09,940
but you wouldn't have 42 kids in the school district, and as much of a burden on our volunteer

751
01:06:09,940 --> 01:06:18,120
firemen and ambulance workers, because it's just going to totally overburden already tax village.

752
01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:29,420
it's I said it before on other issues and it's not going to stop here. I mean so in a moment

753
01:06:29,420 --> 01:06:36,120
the back of New York across the street here they could say okay we're ready to tear it down

754
01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:45,560
and we're going to build our apartments there. Just don't need any more apartments. The traffic you

755
01:06:45,560 --> 01:06:51,160
You can't get out of mammal road and turn right on 17, going through the old village at

756
01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:57,000
certain times of the day, because cars are just coming down and you can't get out and

757
01:06:57,000 --> 01:06:57,280
turn.

758
01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:03,220
And then the last thing we also, I hope, don't need our more traffic lights, but that's

759
01:07:03,220 --> 01:07:07,200
what you're going to have to have, because you're not going to get out and moving anywhere.

760
01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:11,160
So what would be a better use for this side of yours, you?

761
01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:23,940
I don't have a good suggestion of what it could be.

762
01:07:24,300 --> 01:07:30,560
In my day, that's where I took my kids to drive their car on those parking lots back there.

763
01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:39,660
But that being said, in my opinion, business is better back there than 102 units.

764
01:07:39,660 --> 01:07:43,880
is that nobody that I know in this town can afford it.

765
01:07:43,940 --> 01:07:46,480
So I told you, I am working on this stuff.

766
01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:49,900
I don't, I don't know.

767
01:07:50,340 --> 01:07:51,820
I don't know where regular people

768
01:07:51,820 --> 01:07:52,760
are going to live in this world.

769
01:07:53,060 --> 01:07:58,340
That is a train or running in ways that you can do to me.

770
01:07:58,920 --> 01:08:00,840
But I don't think our good long-term result.

771
01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:05,700
That said, 144,000 square foot buildings

772
01:08:05,700 --> 01:08:10,740
by normal guidelines suitable for 400 employees.

773
01:08:12,180 --> 01:08:14,400
Who won't go to our tools or use their groceries?

774
01:08:14,620 --> 01:08:16,980
That would be a five-star disaster, right?

775
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:24,040
If we had 400 employees coming and going from that site on a daily basis

776
01:08:24,040 --> 01:08:26,300
and on a, you know, kind of a nine-to-five schedule.

777
01:08:26,500 --> 01:08:30,500
So the problem we confront here is that for all these years,

778
01:08:30,500 --> 01:08:37,320
this kind of anonymous building has been literally unused and now we're at the circumstance where

779
01:08:37,320 --> 01:08:42,860
he can't remain so. So what next? I hear all of your concerns. I understand. What does

780
01:08:42,860 --> 01:08:48,860
you think that only one of those buildings are making? The satin building apparently is filled

781
01:08:48,860 --> 01:08:55,680
fully occupied. So why not? Not all that actively. Fair to say that. Yeah. I mean it's a 55,000

782
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:57,160
of our food building has compared to 100.

783
01:08:57,460 --> 01:08:59,620
Well, there are people here from their home.

784
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:05,000
I don't know any further, so the only other thing I want

785
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:06,940
to point out, again, this is neither here,

786
01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:08,520
there's just the fact that it's the right answer.

787
01:09:09,580 --> 01:09:17,100
The school district is as compared to the 50-year high

788
01:09:17,100 --> 01:09:21,800
enrollment, which was 2009, about 250 kids

789
01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:23,460
down in the last 15 years.

790
01:09:23,460 --> 01:09:26,400
and has been, as with almost all school districts,

791
01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:29,780
and these parts have been on a steady,

792
01:09:30,400 --> 01:09:33,920
under a medic, but steady decline in the totaling role.

793
01:09:34,620 --> 01:09:36,240
So that obviously is a matter

794
01:09:36,240 --> 01:09:40,320
that will be teased out in detail by the applicant,

795
01:09:40,720 --> 01:09:42,380
and we'll all have an opportunity to say,

796
01:09:42,440 --> 01:09:44,300
hold it, but what about your missing disk?

797
01:09:44,420 --> 01:09:46,000
You're missing that, and you'll have that opportunity too,

798
01:09:46,140 --> 01:09:50,480
but that's the metric based on the numbers

799
01:09:51,080 --> 01:09:52,220
that provide us with wealth.

800
01:09:52,220 --> 01:09:55,540
U.S. what else could be possibly built there?

801
01:09:56,060 --> 01:09:59,980
What about something for forgotten people in this?

802
01:10:00,210 --> 01:10:30,190
For then, if I sold my house today, yes, I'd make a lot of money, but it's not going to do me one bit of good because it's going to cost me twice that to move back into this town. And it's kind of ridiculous. And in my opinion, being that I do have some construction background. The reason these units are going to be built the way that was presented tonight is because you do not make money building smaller units. You make money building smaller units.

803
01:10:30,190 --> 01:10:33,390
building larger units, taller units, wider units,

804
01:10:33,590 --> 01:10:36,590
because it's less than building different units.

805
01:10:37,130 --> 01:10:40,830
But I just think we have to rethink about it as a board

806
01:10:41,470 --> 01:10:45,670
and really think about changing the zoning codes

807
01:10:46,110 --> 01:10:50,810
to allow what we really do not need anymore of in this town.

808
01:10:51,450 --> 01:10:53,230
And that's what does that mean.

809
01:10:53,350 --> 01:10:56,630
I'm going to point out that there are some contradictions here

810
01:10:56,630 --> 01:10:58,730
that we should maybe be thinking about

811
01:10:58,730 --> 01:11:02,750
when we're thinking about this project which is that there is obviously an affordable

812
01:11:02,750 --> 01:11:08,410
portability problem right where we're living in Westchester County and there's a direct

813
01:11:08,410 --> 01:11:13,750
correlation between that affordability problem and the housing crisis in New York State right

814
01:11:13,750 --> 01:11:20,410
there's a significant lack of housing in New York State and I'm not saying this to say that I'm

815
01:11:20,410 --> 01:11:27,070
supporting in support or not in support of this project in particular but you know if we as a

816
01:11:27,070 --> 01:11:36,030
community take the position of, we don't want any new development anywhere, then it's logically inconsistent to say that we also

817
01:11:36,030 --> 01:11:40,650
if I may stand there, we've already been there and we've already done that.

818
01:11:40,910 --> 01:11:42,490
Well, you already have all of them.

819
01:11:43,210 --> 01:11:52,170
I'm saying, please, so I'm just saying like there's a logical inconsistency between saying we can't have any development and we want things to be

820
01:11:52,170 --> 01:11:56,530
that's affordable. And I'm not saying that there's, it's a one-size-fits-all kind of situation.

821
01:11:56,530 --> 01:12:01,810
And what you're pointing out is that one of the additional problems is far of these

822
01:12:01,810 --> 01:12:06,950
the kind of units that, you know, will allow affordability locally, right, which is a related

823
01:12:06,950 --> 01:12:12,510
and separate issue. But I think that that's something that more broadly we need to be thinking about

824
01:12:12,510 --> 01:12:18,810
in terms of, you know, the problems that we're trying to solve and the kinds of inherent

825
01:12:19,290 --> 01:12:24,210
contradictions that often exist in the choices that we are forced to make, right?

826
01:12:24,350 --> 01:12:29,910
Like we all have our kind of dream vision of what we would like for a property like this mine would

827
01:12:29,910 --> 01:12:35,810
be a part, right? But that would require a very wealthy individual to come in and purchase that property

828
01:12:35,810 --> 01:12:42,190
and make that investment, right? So we're operating within, you know, these competing forces, right?

829
01:12:42,330 --> 01:12:47,690
And so I think just as a part of the process, I think it's important to educate ourselves about

830
01:12:47,690 --> 01:12:55,470
What are all these competing interests that are at play in this situation and that was just one that I wanted to point out

831
01:12:55,470 --> 01:13:03,410
Okay, but I still stand the ground by saying we're so overpopulated and developed in this small village now

832
01:13:03,410 --> 01:13:09,550
Is that I made this statement a long time ago and it's come true. We are New York City North

833
01:13:09,550 --> 01:13:15,830
That's what this village is now, but you can't move in town. You can't drive through town

834
01:13:15,830 --> 01:13:20,550
Well, pretty soon you won't be able to walk through town and this is our walking village.

835
01:13:21,410 --> 01:13:24,670
So I thank you for giving me this opportunity to use up there.

836
01:13:24,710 --> 01:13:24,830
Thanks.

837
01:13:25,170 --> 01:13:25,670
Thank you.

838
01:13:25,990 --> 01:13:26,770
Thank you.

839
01:13:29,860 --> 01:13:30,600
Thanks, Tom.

840
01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:32,120
I frequent a lot of what you said.

841
01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:33,400
My name is Noelle McElay.

842
01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:35,120
I live at 44th East Hill Road.

843
01:13:37,060 --> 01:13:43,920
And Tony and Diego and Bob, I'm sure that you are a wonderful gentleman with great intent in this project.

844
01:13:44,460 --> 01:13:52,660
But I am tired of the cost of development being born by the villagers and the community members of this town.

845
01:13:52,860 --> 01:13:58,900
Our quality of life has been severely impacted by the hundreds of units that have been added over the last few years.

846
01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:03,640
And to add to what Tom said, actually let's make a poll.

847
01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:09,440
If you've avoided Wheeler Avenue and patroning those stores because trafficking injection is the problem, raise your hand.

848
01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:18,160
Great, if you can't use a different post office because you can't park at ours because the Uber drivers are blocking it up their wonder, raise your hand.

849
01:14:18,900 --> 01:14:27,340
Okay, we can't use the facility in an all-around village because it is overpopulated. Traffic is a problem, congestion is a problem.

850
01:14:27,340 --> 01:14:29,900
I don't know if you're aware, but there's been a research

851
01:14:29,900 --> 01:14:33,080
in South Viking in town that hit the seventh grade boys

852
01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:35,020
are loving being out on their bikes.

853
01:14:35,180 --> 01:14:38,580
And it is such a wonderful thing, except the amount

854
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:06,840
And we're going to add 102 more women, 200 plus more to honors. We haven't even fully understood

855
01:15:07,340 --> 01:15:12,240
the occupancy and the impact of the units that were added. The Chase building hasn't even begun

856
01:15:12,240 --> 01:15:18,380
construction, and we're contemplating green lighting another project, for residents. It's really

857
01:15:18,380 --> 01:15:24,100
unfathomable to me, that we continue to have these meetings, and these projects continue to move forward.

858
01:15:24,540 --> 01:15:28,200
And I want to touch on a couple of things, but it's something that they said that I really agreed with.

859
01:15:28,200 --> 01:15:31,880
they use the term protect and preserve, right?

860
01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:35,080
And that is what is so important about this town.

861
01:15:35,400 --> 01:15:38,320
It is the opportunity that we have to create

862
01:15:38,320 --> 01:15:41,680
a different type of life for the people who live here,

863
01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:42,980
something a little bit more quiet,

864
01:15:43,380 --> 01:15:44,720
something that has green space,

865
01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:49,200
something that is walkable and charming and quaint, right?

866
01:15:49,680 --> 01:15:52,920
I learned personally to drive in these parking lots

867
01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:54,820
because they were unoccupied.

868
01:15:55,300 --> 01:15:58,600
what you may not want to acknowledge and may not have worked either.

869
01:15:58,880 --> 01:16:02,580
This is the number two sledding spot in town for all of the town kids.

870
01:16:03,360 --> 01:16:07,020
You go there on a snowy, there are a hundred kids coming down that hill,

871
01:16:07,320 --> 01:16:11,480
laughing and giggling. And guess what? All of that goes away with projects like this.

872
01:16:12,060 --> 01:16:16,780
Okay. The other the other thing that's happened here is we're talking about a hypothetical alternative.

873
01:16:17,340 --> 01:16:18,820
What if that building gives up? Right.

874
01:16:19,220 --> 01:16:22,460
What if 144,000 square feet of business space gives up?

875
01:16:22,460 --> 01:16:27,340
I'm a professional, my husband is a professional. I think a lot of people in this room are finally

876
01:16:27,340 --> 01:16:32,960
building north of New York City in the Tri-State area that's at 100% occupancy five days a week.

877
01:16:33,280 --> 01:16:38,980
It doesn't exist. Everybody is working part-time remotely and I would rather gamble on a

878
01:16:38,980 --> 01:16:45,060
on a business building and the traffic that that would bring in during the week than clogging

879
01:16:45,060 --> 01:16:50,480
continually our grocery stores, our parking situations, our old village, our school district.

880
01:16:50,480 --> 01:17:02,980
the 42 number is laughable. I mean, everybody in this room knows 100 units that are at a lower price point in town are going to bring families in and this will maybe be able to accommodate that but that's still a tax on our infrastructure.

881
01:17:03,440 --> 01:17:14,660
So I really would urge the board to consider really strongly what this brings to the community in terms of positive other than tax revenue, how it impacts our quality of life.

882
01:17:14,660 --> 01:17:20,060
It should never take 15 minutes to go three-quarters of a mile, and it does.

883
01:17:20,460 --> 01:17:21,040
It's absurd.

884
01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:25,780
And so I look forward to further discourse on this and look forward to your thoughts and

885
01:17:25,780 --> 01:17:26,380
your questions.

886
01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:31,740
But I think that I can speak for many people who are here in the room, which is with respect,

887
01:17:32,140 --> 01:17:33,100
we don't want this.

888
01:17:33,900 --> 01:17:39,800
We don't need more in our town, not in this way and not right now, until we understand what

889
01:17:39,800 --> 01:17:41,560
we've already have green light is filled.

890
01:17:41,560 --> 01:17:44,420
So, just to be clear, you'd rather see it from right here, you'd say.

891
01:17:45,020 --> 01:17:45,420
Absolutely.

892
01:17:48,060 --> 01:17:51,600
I think that that brings jobs to someone said, what if it's an Amazon facility, at least

893
01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:53,280
our palmages would get here soon or not.

894
01:17:53,500 --> 01:17:53,600
Right?

895
01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:55,000
They're the net positive.

896
01:17:55,240 --> 01:17:57,000
I don't see a single net positive.

897
01:17:57,000 --> 01:17:57,880
Talk about traffic.

898
01:17:58,280 --> 01:17:58,700
Oh, my God.

899
01:17:59,080 --> 01:18:05,200
I can see a single net positive in this development for the people who live around.

900
01:18:05,640 --> 01:18:10,360
And I appreciate the time and effort that they took to understand the woodlands and the space,

901
01:18:10,360 --> 01:18:12,860
but I think that there's a larger community.

902
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:15,040
It's not just the fossil residents that are concerned.

903
01:18:15,500 --> 01:18:17,540
The whole town is impacted by this.

904
01:18:18,580 --> 01:18:18,820
Okay.

905
01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:19,860
Thank you.

906
01:18:22,780 --> 01:18:23,820
Good evening.

907
01:18:24,100 --> 01:18:24,980
Good evening.

908
01:18:25,260 --> 01:18:25,600
How are you?

909
01:18:26,180 --> 01:18:28,980
Dr. Niko, the thong south, those three campers drive this.

910
01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:31,140
Trustee Asquip, may you share,

911
01:18:31,420 --> 01:18:33,240
Trustee Benjamin, Trustee Healy.

912
01:18:33,780 --> 01:18:37,160
I respectfully may you share three camp straps,

913
01:18:37,160 --> 01:18:39,900
around 31,000 square feet, not 54,000.

914
01:18:40,720 --> 01:18:42,220
Good evening, and thank you for giving

915
01:18:42,220 --> 01:18:43,480
the opportunity to speak tonight.

916
01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:45,160
My name's Nico.

917
01:18:45,420 --> 01:18:47,500
I'm the owner of Atlas Peat Physical Therapy,

918
01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:48,840
right here, I can't describe.

919
01:18:49,600 --> 01:18:51,880
Where a small business has become part of

920
01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:53,180
the healthcare fabric of a community.

921
01:18:53,500 --> 01:18:55,440
We help people walk again after surgery.

922
01:18:55,880 --> 01:18:57,300
We have senior state independence

923
01:18:57,300 --> 01:18:58,500
so they can remain in their homes.

924
01:18:59,060 --> 01:19:01,360
We have athletes recover from injuries, young and old

925
01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:03,060
so they can continue to do what they love.

926
01:19:03,920 --> 01:19:05,320
When some of this community needs care,

927
01:19:05,500 --> 01:19:06,980
they come to us because we're one

928
01:19:06,980 --> 01:19:08,940
of the best of people that can do it, and we're very accessible.

929
01:19:10,220 --> 01:19:14,480
The proposal to take down this building and replace it does not just change the structure.

930
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:18,240
It removes an essential service that we provide, say, a pleasant bill.

931
01:19:18,920 --> 01:19:23,400
It disrupts the care of patients who rely on us during school, like beginning and ending hours.

932
01:19:24,160 --> 01:19:27,300
Patients are frequently late due to the immense traffic, or somebody's don't even come

933
01:19:27,300 --> 01:19:28,380
because they just missed their appointment.

934
01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:31,620
It hurts other businesses and employees who work here.

935
01:19:32,380 --> 01:19:34,620
The bill is fully occupied by five independent businesses.

936
01:19:34,620 --> 01:19:38,480
I don't know what it said, partially out of your bottom line somewhere, but that's

937
01:19:38,480 --> 01:19:39,300
incorrect information.

938
01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:43,920
It also places an increased burden, as we saw today, on a local infrastructure without

939
01:19:43,920 --> 01:19:47,620
adding anything that improves community health, safety, or access.

940
01:19:48,660 --> 01:19:52,400
Westchester residents already face a shortage of convenient and affordable healthcare options,

941
01:19:52,900 --> 01:19:57,520
eliminating a physical therapy clinic that serves people every day to make room for more housing

942
01:19:57,520 --> 01:19:58,900
puts profit above well-being.

943
01:20:00,340 --> 01:20:14,260
Preserve health care access, and please preserve three campus drive, and preserve the treaties that will be cut down. Thank you for listening and for standing with us to protect what actually matters to the people this town. And thanks for hearing me out today. Thank you. Thank you. My

944
01:20:19,860 --> 01:20:35,780
name is Ashley Gray, 36 times in the terrorists. I don't live in the village, but my kids go to school year, it's the number one reason. I can move here, welcome to taxes, our school taxes. I don't have any questions. I don't have, I just said that

945
01:20:35,780 --> 01:20:42,600
some things. No, one is, does the board have to consider it at all? No. So maybe we should all

946
01:20:42,600 --> 01:20:49,140
shouldn't be here. I mean, because it may be so ridiculously obscene that you can propose it.

947
01:20:50,880 --> 01:20:56,120
Someone asked the question about, it was very well asked about the price of the homes.

948
01:20:57,160 --> 01:21:01,820
This is a Fortune 500 company, number two home builder in the country.

949
01:21:01,820 --> 01:21:11,120
I mean, number 113, 14 to 500 list, countless lawsuits against them for shadow construction

950
01:21:11,120 --> 01:21:14,900
hasn't been brought up, just Google them and the lawsuits don't be there.

951
01:21:16,260 --> 01:21:19,320
Why does pleasant will have to be the place for all the additional homes?

952
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:27,840
It's a crisis, but why does pleasant will have to be the place that solves the crisis in the

953
01:21:27,840 --> 01:21:28,140
state?

954
01:21:28,140 --> 01:21:38,660
If they don't sell, which million dollar homes are not flying off the shelf, they are super expensive to drive them down to all of our homes.

955
01:21:41,080 --> 01:21:43,640
Yes, is that better? Sorry.

956
01:21:44,460 --> 01:21:50,100
14, 500 companies looking for profits, looking to improve the, well, that they're shareholders,

957
01:21:50,520 --> 01:21:56,440
not the community. We don't need them, just like Wonder Shiningham, a lab to be brought into

958
01:21:56,440 --> 01:22:02,980
this town, putting out small businesses that are rejected by a billionaire. Why does President

959
01:22:02,980 --> 01:22:07,840
Bill have to be the testing ground and to solve the crisis, lawsuits, shadow construction,

960
01:22:16,500 --> 01:22:30,900
I don't have any other questions, but I will say that the more questions there are, the more legitimizes it, getting into details, and I think that's maybe the most important thing.

961
01:22:30,900 --> 01:22:39,560
we ask these questions about sidewalks and even the number of units. The more we get into it,

962
01:22:39,700 --> 01:22:45,600
traffic patterns, all of that makes it seem real. And even the way that they worded things as

963
01:22:45,600 --> 01:22:53,400
it was already happening, there are this many. There is this plan. It's not a future reference.

964
01:22:53,400 --> 01:22:58,320
They're talking in the present as if it's already underway. And I think that legitimizing it through

965
01:22:58,320 --> 01:23:03,380
with all of the questions, it should just be about concerns, not asking them what they plan to do

966
01:23:03,380 --> 01:23:09,260
because it shouldn't be considered. Yeah, that's all I got. What would you prefer at the site?

967
01:23:09,860 --> 01:23:17,180
One, nothing. Why? I think it being communal. I think the building, we talked about this mayor.

968
01:23:17,660 --> 01:23:22,260
The buildings that went into Memorial Plaza did nothing for the community. It caused

969
01:23:22,260 --> 01:23:24,580
was a hell of a situation with traffic,

970
01:23:25,900 --> 01:23:27,900
it provided nothing, they could have,

971
01:23:27,980 --> 01:23:30,580
they could have been put to task at park,

972
01:23:31,620 --> 01:23:33,720
something that would benefit the kids of the town,

973
01:23:33,980 --> 01:23:36,340
the elderly of the town, the families of the town,

974
01:23:37,020 --> 01:23:41,180
42 kids again, laughable, two kids per home in this town,

975
01:23:41,640 --> 01:23:45,460
do the math, something nature, something park,

976
01:23:45,980 --> 01:23:46,760
so something healthy.

977
01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:50,440
Back to this side, what would you rather see at that

978
01:23:50,440 --> 01:23:52,860
at the site they seek to read about.

979
01:23:53,160 --> 01:23:53,680
Not them.

980
01:23:54,460 --> 01:23:58,620
Not a Fortune 500 company looking to profit over,

981
01:23:59,020 --> 01:24:00,240
but everyone here is built.

982
01:24:00,900 --> 01:24:02,060
I'm a small business owner.

983
01:24:02,420 --> 01:24:05,720
I would stand to profit from all those kids moving into town.

984
01:24:05,880 --> 01:24:07,220
We run an art studio on Wheeler.

985
01:24:08,240 --> 01:24:11,420
That's the parents of our students,

986
01:24:11,840 --> 01:24:13,080
how they part, they can't, right?

987
01:24:13,240 --> 01:24:16,220
They, everyone, double parks, triple parks on Wheeler.

988
01:24:16,780 --> 01:24:19,120
Now they'll just be filling up the street.

989
01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:24,900
what should go there? Something that benefits everyone. I think the school system is overburdened.

990
01:24:24,940 --> 01:24:29,380
I think more space for school. I think the Girl Scout building, Mr. Travesty, we've talked about

991
01:24:29,380 --> 01:24:35,280
that. That it wasn't purchased and put to use by the town, by the school. So yeah, I think something

992
01:24:35,280 --> 01:24:38,700
that benefits humanity is what should go there, not these guys.

993
01:24:41,280 --> 01:24:41,680
People...

994
01:24:46,890 --> 01:24:49,610
No, I'm just, I mean,

995
01:24:49,610 --> 01:24:52,810
I'm all for that, but who's going to take for that is the question, right?

996
01:24:53,590 --> 01:24:58,250
Just don't put anything in like Noel said, take the chance on him.

997
01:24:58,290 --> 01:24:59,950
But this is going in.

998
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:03,360
So, in office, some kind of commercial use in other words.

999
01:25:05,740 --> 01:25:29,760
There's no space in our schools. There's no space in our schools. We're overburdened. Technically, that's not true. The school population is going down. Just going to point that out. That's something that gets brought up a lot. That's just about see, like, I'm not saying it's a big thing to everybody. It's just what it feels like. Yeah, I think that sometimes they just ask this for a lot of programs. If there's a

1000
01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:36,580
So if anybody else wants to speak now, I assure you that you will have many opportunities.

1001
01:25:36,940 --> 01:25:44,980
So just for starters, as we included in that original posting info at plusbilled-n-y.gov

1002
01:25:45,320 --> 01:25:50,480
is a source for any commentary that goes through a listen and ends up part of the record

1003
01:25:50,480 --> 01:25:51,520
and goes to all of us.

1004
01:25:51,680 --> 01:25:53,400
So that's one place to go.

1005
01:25:53,860 --> 01:25:59,380
We established a tab on the website at plusbilled-n-y.gov and it posted everything on the

1006
01:25:59,380 --> 01:26:05,900
is so far given us and we will post everything that they give us going forward as this analysis

1007
01:26:05,900 --> 01:26:06,440
continues.

1008
01:26:07,040 --> 01:26:08,120
Can I just ask one more?

1009
01:26:08,180 --> 01:26:08,320
Sure.

1010
01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:12,000
Is anyone here front that lives in Boswell's, would like to come?

1011
01:26:12,100 --> 01:26:12,340
It's okay.

1012
01:26:12,440 --> 01:26:13,260
I was very curious.

1013
01:26:13,500 --> 01:26:13,720
Yeah.

1014
01:26:13,840 --> 01:26:15,220
I would like to come speak to those.

1015
01:26:15,940 --> 01:26:16,540
So you know what?

1016
01:26:16,680 --> 01:26:17,080
I'll speak.

1017
01:26:17,300 --> 01:26:18,140
But I don't regret heartless.

1018
01:26:18,720 --> 01:26:18,900
Oh.

1019
01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:20,720
I love this story, folks.

1020
01:26:20,880 --> 01:26:24,820
So you need, if you're going to speak, you need to come and let us know who you are.

1021
01:26:24,940 --> 01:26:25,360
You're at a visit.

1022
01:26:26,780 --> 01:26:27,140
Okay.

1023
01:26:31,620 --> 01:26:38,120
Hi, I'm Amanda Chandler, 33 of that for it. So, it is the next development over from boxes.

1024
01:26:38,460 --> 01:26:42,160
Right. And I would just like to know, and I sent an email, so you've got it all. Yeah.

1025
01:26:42,680 --> 01:26:47,100
The traffic situation of that for is absolutely atrocious. Taking a ride turn on the

1026
01:26:47,100 --> 01:26:53,640
vet for a left turn, it is completely backed up. You went 104 units and there's absolutely no way

1027
01:26:53,640 --> 01:26:59,600
that that traffic study is anywhere close to the number of cars. Absolutely no way.

1028
01:27:00,120 --> 01:27:05,040
I am talking. We are probably looking at a thousand extra cars every morning and every night.

1029
01:27:05,420 --> 01:27:12,180
Think about the Amazon deliveries, think about the groceries, groceries, the landscaping,

1030
01:27:12,480 --> 01:27:16,900
the everything in and out. Those people are not going to be able to take a turn.

1031
01:27:17,200 --> 01:27:20,800
Do you know how fast people drive in the Bedford right now? Do you know how fast?

1032
01:27:21,100 --> 01:27:28,980
Has anybody walked down that road? 42 to 45 miles per hour and we do nothing about it. Nothing.

1033
01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:35,140
it is not safe for our school children to walk down that road and we're going to add all of this

1034
01:27:35,140 --> 01:27:41,320
traffic, all of those trucks, all of that. It is absolutely just uncomfortable and I don't like

1035
01:27:41,320 --> 01:27:46,960
to add to whatever he said. I don't know why we're considering this here. I don't know why we're

1036
01:27:46,960 --> 01:27:51,640
paying consultants out of our tax dollars. So those are paid for, why are those paid for by the

1037
01:27:51,640 --> 01:27:52,260
Okay.

1038
01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:57,480
So just to be clear, speaking from the point of time, no cost to argue about what's the

1039
01:27:57,480 --> 01:28:04,020
evidence that is speaking for myself, the reason we're entertaining it is that the alternatives,

1040
01:28:04,040 --> 01:28:09,480
including the hazard-bright alternatives, have the potential to be to dwarf the traffic impacts

1041
01:28:09,480 --> 01:28:10,320
your concern about.

1042
01:28:10,480 --> 01:28:10,620
Yeah.

1043
01:28:10,740 --> 01:28:15,480
Whether that's realistic to happen is a whole lot of question, but something has to happen

1044
01:28:15,480 --> 01:28:15,720
here.

1045
01:28:15,780 --> 01:28:20,740
We've been living in a specially-charmed zone where this very big building had no impacts.

1046
01:28:21,400 --> 01:28:25,100
So I would suggest, first of all, I would like to know that there are absolutely no

1047
01:28:25,100 --> 01:28:29,660
tax seller and taxed it, any of our citizens for this proposal. I would like that

1048
01:28:29,660 --> 01:28:36,020
company to know. Why are we paying for it to consider this? We can say no. We can say no,

1049
01:28:36,140 --> 01:28:41,580
right now. But I would also say that I think we take the chances. Second, first of all,

1050
01:28:41,740 --> 01:28:45,280
the board, I'm sorry to all of you, you shouldn't have bought this plan a long time ago,

1051
01:28:45,280 --> 01:28:47,040
and we shouldn't even be here.

1052
01:28:47,540 --> 01:28:51,560
But second, have we looked at an open space conservation company?

1053
01:28:52,060 --> 01:28:56,040
Is there a nonprofit out there that would buy it to preserve open space?

1054
01:28:56,260 --> 01:28:58,120
As you know, I've looked into that.

1055
01:28:59,040 --> 01:29:00,680
We're not talking that much money.

1056
01:29:00,880 --> 01:29:04,040
I mean, we're talking a significant amount of money, but it's not that much.

1057
01:29:04,700 --> 01:29:06,780
Many millions of dollars to buy it.

1058
01:29:06,780 --> 01:29:07,940
Yeah, it is not that much.

1059
01:29:08,260 --> 01:29:11,180
We're talking about a million dollars for one of those units to sell.

1060
01:29:11,380 --> 01:29:14,260
And we can't figure out how I just spent three million dollars by the land.

1061
01:29:14,260 --> 01:29:20,240
like that to me is like I think buying the land would grant there are all kinds of options to be

1062
01:29:20,240 --> 01:29:25,000
able to look into these kinds of things have we done that. Here's what I will say about the

1063
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:29,580
potential cost of the village owning this property demolishing the buildings and creating some other

1064
01:29:29,580 --> 01:29:36,040
use there. That would without question create the biggest tax increase in the history of the village

1065
01:29:36,040 --> 01:29:41,640
of pleasant. We're all concerned me yeah absolutely right in line with the rest of you about the

1066
01:29:41,640 --> 01:29:45,260
affordability of living here, those of us who are lucky enough to already be here and

1067
01:29:45,260 --> 01:29:49,260
likely couldn't afford to be here if we were starting over, are also very much affected

1068
01:30:00,960 --> 01:30:29,980
So, the idea of our buying this is, again, from itself, very much on purpose. Yeah, I would rather see a business there, but I'll also say, honestly, and I'm just going to be very frank, the tone of the questions, the argumentative nature that I feel like all of you are giving all of us speaking. Sounds like you're actually in their side. Rather than there. I hope we don't give that off you. I'm very sorry that you would ever feel that.

1069
01:30:29,980 --> 01:30:32,080
that is not the nature of what we've got.

1070
01:30:32,340 --> 01:30:33,220
I just don't know where to respect.

1071
01:30:33,620 --> 01:30:34,720
I'm very sorry to feel that.

1072
01:30:34,860 --> 01:30:36,180
That is not what we're here for.

1073
01:30:36,280 --> 01:30:38,680
It's not what we're taking our own homes.

1074
01:30:38,980 --> 01:30:44,660
So here to just even listen to this 100% work on my perspective

1075
01:30:44,660 --> 01:30:47,520
is to try to listen to everything.

1076
01:30:48,140 --> 01:30:50,420
All the Facebook comments and hundreds and hundreds of that.

1077
01:30:50,520 --> 01:30:50,660
Absolutely.

1078
01:30:50,960 --> 01:30:53,820
Out of my whole day to just make sure to compile

1079
01:30:53,820 --> 01:30:54,960
as much people could be heard.

1080
01:30:55,400 --> 01:30:56,780
So I hope that you can feel that out there.

1081
01:30:57,100 --> 01:30:59,720
But I will say when you question the people who are speaking

1082
01:30:59,720 --> 01:31:02,480
and argue back with, but not this, but not that,

1083
01:31:02,580 --> 01:31:04,520
but it was not done to the presentation.

1084
01:31:04,840 --> 01:31:06,920
Presenters, it does feel as if.

1085
01:31:06,920 --> 01:31:08,020
Okay, better to stand there.

1086
01:31:08,040 --> 01:31:10,480
It can seem, if I think across that way,

1087
01:31:10,640 --> 01:31:11,300
I'll just for that.

1088
01:31:11,860 --> 01:31:16,180
I interviewed in the moments where somebody

1089
01:31:16,180 --> 01:31:21,140
sent something that requires some explanation.

1090
01:31:21,380 --> 01:31:24,380
And so, for example, the notion that the schools

1091
01:31:24,380 --> 01:31:26,880
are growing is just not a hit.

1092
01:31:26,880 --> 01:31:33,520
So sort of can I if you thought yes, we may be down in population were kids able again to pamphor club this year?

1093
01:31:35,620 --> 01:31:41,500
So that's so there are still issues yeah with the number of students and the needs that those

1094
01:31:41,500 --> 01:31:48,620
students have so it may be that the total number of students is not there have we looked at so right now

1095
01:31:48,620 --> 01:31:56,860
I think we're at a very nice classroom size we're not at a New York City classroom size we don't have

1096
01:31:56,860 --> 01:31:58,740
New York, but Mills, well, maybe they've got the 36.

1097
01:31:59,200 --> 01:32:00,140
We don't have that right now.

1098
01:32:00,560 --> 01:32:03,240
When we talk about capacity,

1099
01:32:03,500 --> 01:32:05,220
are we talking about that as a class advisor?

1100
01:32:05,220 --> 01:32:07,460
Are we talking about the 18th to 20th class?

1101
01:32:07,660 --> 01:32:10,860
It's up for the school, obviously, to comment about their diner.

1102
01:32:11,040 --> 01:32:15,040
All I can tell you is that there are give or take,

1103
01:32:15,180 --> 01:32:17,280
250 fewer kids than we're 15 years ago.

1104
01:32:17,640 --> 01:32:19,180
Actually, this year fewer kids,

1105
01:32:19,700 --> 01:32:22,100
like quite a few fewer kids than they were 50 years ago.

1106
01:32:22,120 --> 01:32:22,500
Absolutely.

1107
01:32:22,920 --> 01:32:23,460
What does that mean?

1108
01:32:23,760 --> 01:32:26,840
It doesn't necessarily mean anything about what we should do

1109
01:32:26,840 --> 01:32:30,560
today and I can tell you that I lived right in the neighborhood of the schools in half for now

1110
01:32:30,560 --> 01:32:37,480
40 years. The dynamic that school pick up and drop off is untenable. Well and untenable in a way

1111
01:32:37,480 --> 01:32:44,960
that is is interesting, I say in a kind of horrified way, in a certain sense where we have fewer kids

1112
01:32:45,400 --> 01:32:50,480
but more turmoil about pick up and drop off. So what does that all mean? I mean, you're not

1113
01:32:50,480 --> 01:32:54,380
really good. I'll tell you why because the families have had to move out of the core village area

1114
01:32:54,380 --> 01:32:59,100
because it's unaffordable. So more of them are living in the outskirts. Those children are not

1115
01:32:59,100 --> 01:33:04,520
able to walk, oh wait, because the car's speed down bad for a road and it's not safe. So those

1116
01:33:04,520 --> 01:33:09,400
children cannot walk. They, you know, when we first moved here, I asked the school principal,

1117
01:33:09,700 --> 01:33:14,340
where do you park bikes? She loves it means I had five heads. Now, because they're biking to school,

1118
01:33:14,880 --> 01:33:20,000
they have put a bike rocket. But the parents have to drive them because there is no option for some of

1119
01:33:20,000 --> 01:33:24,940
them to walk. And I'm supposed to say the other thing that no one has mentioned with all of these

1120
01:33:24,940 --> 01:33:29,640
people who come occupy these units, how exactly are they getting to work? If they're not dragging,

1121
01:33:29,800 --> 01:33:34,080
say they're taking the train. Where are they parking? I don't know. Are they driving down there?

1122
01:33:34,400 --> 01:33:41,360
They're not walking from there. Look, I mean, there is a lot of traffic. Trust me, those kids

1123
01:33:41,360 --> 01:33:47,460
are not going to walk from that development. They're not going to walk. It's possible to walk.

1124
01:33:47,460 --> 01:33:52,260
they're not going to. And so that's additional cards, additional draw well.

1125
01:33:53,360 --> 01:33:57,320
Honestly, like, I'm not in favor of that. I would rather it stay commercial.

1126
01:33:57,500 --> 01:34:00,360
I think that the points that everybody else made are absolutely correct.

1127
01:34:00,880 --> 01:34:03,740
You know, take the chance. And yes, it might generate more traffic.

1128
01:34:04,440 --> 01:34:08,060
It could also generate more taps revenue than these homes might.

1129
01:34:08,780 --> 01:34:14,200
You know, I mean, there are things like that that it zones commercial for a reason.

1130
01:34:14,200 --> 01:34:16,080
but it's not zone this.

1131
01:34:16,520 --> 01:34:16,660
I

1132
01:34:22,200 --> 01:34:23,520
don't think we should always start

1133
01:34:23,520 --> 01:34:26,040
time continuing to evaluate this coming to meetings.

1134
01:34:26,380 --> 01:34:28,440
Like I think that we should make a decision.

1135
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:29,560
My name is Regina Silversmith. I live on Sundays that I'd gotten here. My mom was able to live almost her whole entire life in her home. And my mother-in-law, too. Now, as a person whose child's double school, I'm looking at, well, I have a house. I have a lot of bedrooms. The market is so great. I should sell, but where would I go? And that's what every older person in Pleasantville is asking, where can I go?

1136
01:35:29,560 --> 01:35:36,820
what's as good as Pleasantville? And if there's really not a lot of options, so

1137
01:35:36,820 --> 01:35:43,640
people move out of state, that's ridiculous to me. So, I think, well that's one

1138
01:35:43,640 --> 01:35:49,540
point. The second point about seniors is that Pleasantville's head, well,

1139
01:35:49,800 --> 01:35:53,380
jacks in the back, two generations of Pleasantville, who have lived here. Some

1140
01:35:53,380 --> 01:35:58,900
people have three generations. And the market is such that when I look at my

1141
01:35:58,900 --> 01:36:03,900
house. It's a big asset. It's worth a lot of money now. I'd have to make a choice.

1142
01:36:04,940 --> 01:36:11,880
If there was senior living that was reasonably priced versus I'm not going to sell my house for

1143
01:36:11,880 --> 01:36:17,680
one point something to buy something for one point something and having a higher taxes that doesn't

1144
01:36:17,680 --> 01:36:24,220
make sense for this village. We want a village that has young people, school age people, and old people

1145
01:36:24,220 --> 01:36:29,060
because the older people are doing the volunteer and they're doing the helping.

1146
01:36:29,460 --> 01:36:33,120
They are also helping with grandchildren if they're nearby.

1147
01:36:33,560 --> 01:36:38,400
We are going to have a community that's just people who can afford over a million.

1148
01:36:38,760 --> 01:36:42,720
They park here till their kids are graduated and then they go somewhere else.

1149
01:36:43,160 --> 01:36:47,120
And everything that Pleasantville represents is destroyed.

1150
01:36:48,720 --> 01:36:50,560
So that's my personal issue.

1151
01:36:50,560 --> 01:36:53,840
The second issue is that it's just a clarification.

1152
01:36:54,740 --> 01:36:57,820
So there are three parcels of land.

1153
01:36:58,420 --> 01:37:00,840
Is this correct? Has someone purchased them yet?

1154
01:37:01,200 --> 01:37:02,840
Are they attached as one?

1155
01:37:04,340 --> 01:37:05,940
No, they would be assembled.

1156
01:37:06,540 --> 01:37:07,040
Assembled.

1157
01:37:07,460 --> 01:37:13,740
And the residential site are owned by one entity.

1158
01:37:14,560 --> 01:37:17,240
The old seven engineering building is owned by another.

1159
01:37:19,920 --> 01:37:24,820
and I think there are only two owners on my right, three owners.

1160
01:37:25,280 --> 01:37:28,940
So these three have come together to offer.

1161
01:37:29,440 --> 01:37:31,280
Apparently, I mean, they're selling themselves as a unit.

1162
01:37:31,420 --> 01:37:34,880
That's a private exchange or not involved in the negotiation.

1163
01:37:35,260 --> 01:37:36,620
But do we know the price?

1164
01:37:36,880 --> 01:37:41,140
It's going to be what someone said for those three parcels,

1165
01:37:41,380 --> 01:37:43,740
do we know what they're being asked to, you know,

1166
01:37:43,740 --> 01:37:47,940
The documents, the cell documents are in the file.

1167
01:37:48,060 --> 01:37:48,540
Is there a number?

1168
01:37:49,020 --> 01:37:51,620
It was the seventh of it's deed for the private phone,

1169
01:37:51,720 --> 01:37:54,320
I think, and then 1.7.

1170
01:37:54,560 --> 01:37:57,440
We were one of, I might be pretty incorrect, I'm sure.

1171
01:37:57,620 --> 01:37:58,800
If you were talking about the purchase price.

1172
01:37:59,100 --> 01:37:59,200
Yeah.

1173
01:37:59,440 --> 01:38:00,500
It was in all the documents.

1174
01:38:00,780 --> 01:38:02,220
Let's buy them and sit on it.

1175
01:38:02,320 --> 01:38:03,140
We don't even have a utility.

1176
01:38:03,520 --> 01:38:04,940
It's so for the growth scale, though,

1177
01:38:04,940 --> 01:38:06,580
that's why I didn't have to do nothing, children.

1178
01:38:07,080 --> 01:38:11,020
Do they generate a significant amount of tax revenue right now?

1179
01:38:12,420 --> 01:38:18,320
Not a tremendous amount. The school district gets about $195,000 a year. Village gets, I don't know,

1180
01:38:18,460 --> 01:38:23,960
70-ish, something like that. So, both of those numbers are less than a third of what they generated

1181
01:38:23,960 --> 01:38:30,360
in the world when back in New York was kind of... Okay, so I think the one here for everyone else

1182
01:38:30,360 --> 01:38:39,480
is for alternatives. I would, you know, just personally, price well, senior center, not center,

1183
01:38:39,480 --> 01:38:55,260
But you know, I mean, yes, that would be a great thing for me. The other thing is, if we do the math, if you're telling me, you know, the core properties together to just sit on is 4,000 4 million, I'm sorry, it's way more than that, is it more than 12?

1184
01:38:55,980 --> 01:38:59,220
I can't say that I don't really want to be, so I can't speak directly.

1185
01:39:00,060 --> 01:39:07,360
And also, could they be, could it be we developed it as possibly one portion would be seen

1186
01:39:07,360 --> 01:39:09,980
and we developed it, one portion would stay commercial.

1187
01:39:10,900 --> 01:39:13,440
We play, let's think outside the box.

1188
01:39:14,900 --> 01:39:15,720
That's what I have to say.

1189
01:39:15,940 --> 01:39:16,220
Thank you.

1190
01:39:27,440 --> 01:39:35,080
I just want to mention, I think we would have many people here to see if we were aware

1191
01:39:35,080 --> 01:39:36,020
of what was going on.

1192
01:39:36,400 --> 01:39:42,700
I learned this and I looked up there several years, Friday after, Friday more, and it was

1193
01:39:42,700 --> 01:39:46,400
because of a Facebook post, which we issued.

1194
01:39:46,820 --> 01:39:47,100
Exactly.

1195
01:39:47,480 --> 01:39:49,520
David posted a statement from all of us.

1196
01:39:49,520 --> 01:39:50,520
And it was the first we heard.

1197
01:39:51,000 --> 01:39:54,440
On point has not discussed this with the residents at all.

1198
01:39:54,740 --> 01:39:56,920
I can't speak to that, but you can talk to your people.

1199
01:39:57,000 --> 01:39:58,620
So therefore, I think a lot more people

1200
01:39:58,620 --> 01:39:59,960
will be concerned about what's going on.

1201
01:40:00,020 --> 01:40:29,420
I can't see how they're giving you something. These minutes are properly possibly and we don't vote. Can we have any answer on that? There's a series of existing access easements in place that that's with rights to access the property right now. Thanks for it to be answered different than would have to work through Fox Woods County and the association, but they don't need to. They can function with the existing. That's why the office buildings

1202
01:40:30,540 --> 01:40:32,820
functioned right now because there's access to it.

1203
01:40:32,840 --> 01:40:38,540
I can't describe his own bipartisan and I believe you want piece of property that's not

1204
01:40:38,540 --> 01:40:43,280
I can't describe along the side of it to make the world larger is a formal garden.

1205
01:40:43,460 --> 01:40:44,560
I think you guys are getting that.

1206
01:40:45,080 --> 01:40:46,320
I don't understand.

1207
01:40:46,760 --> 01:40:47,220
Well, I'll mention.

1208
01:40:47,520 --> 01:40:48,900
I hear you.

1209
01:40:49,360 --> 01:40:50,200
But you need.

1210
01:40:50,420 --> 01:40:50,660
Okay.

1211
01:40:51,320 --> 01:40:59,300
Because I'm in conversation with Foxwood L1R, Foxwood leadership L1R and I assume that

1212
01:40:59,300 --> 01:41:02,840
that it's a conversation that will occur within Foxwood

1213
01:41:02,840 --> 01:41:05,120
with all the spend 254 homes.

1214
01:41:05,580 --> 01:41:06,880
Well, the homeowners are not aware.

1215
01:41:07,040 --> 01:41:08,100
I wouldn't run out of work

1216
01:41:08,100 --> 01:41:09,680
as much as I could in the last couple of days

1217
01:41:09,680 --> 01:41:10,400
for the posters.

1218
01:41:10,440 --> 01:41:10,840
Yes.

1219
01:41:11,040 --> 01:41:13,300
Please come to this meeting because of that face.

1220
01:41:13,320 --> 01:41:15,920
Sorry, but let me just say, if it reaches it all,

1221
01:41:16,600 --> 01:41:18,320
the fact that folks didn't come to this meeting

1222
01:41:18,320 --> 01:41:19,860
and only find out about it on Friday,

1223
01:41:20,900 --> 01:41:27,080
which is, it's absolutely not something we need,

1224
01:41:27,080 --> 01:41:30,460
be concerned about because they will have many opportunities

1225
01:41:30,460 --> 01:41:31,560
to say what they think.

1226
01:41:31,740 --> 01:41:34,740
So believe me, that's not a concern.

1227
01:41:35,280 --> 01:41:37,460
So I just want to make you aware that we didn't know.

1228
01:41:37,640 --> 01:41:37,820
OK.

1229
01:41:38,660 --> 01:41:39,480
I'll be right behind you around.

1230
01:41:39,780 --> 01:41:40,080
All right.

1231
01:41:40,200 --> 01:41:40,440
Thank you.

1232
01:41:40,640 --> 01:41:40,960
Thank you.

1233
01:41:41,160 --> 01:41:42,700
Thank you.

1234
01:41:42,740 --> 01:41:43,120
You're welcome.

1235
01:41:43,600 --> 01:41:43,600
Thank

1236
01:41:45,640 --> 01:41:46,920
you.

1237
01:41:47,940 --> 01:41:50,620
Hi, Liz Wilcox and one of you on the Skytop Drive.

1238
01:41:51,520 --> 01:41:53,160
Obviously, I came here tonight because I'm

1239
01:41:53,160 --> 01:41:55,540
close to where the development is proposed to be.

1240
01:41:55,820 --> 01:41:57,360
And I'm concerned about traffic.

1241
01:41:57,360 --> 01:42:07,300
I do want to thank you because I did learn a lot being here tonight, but I do want to push back on this idea of, okay, 15 years ago, the schools were 250 kids more.

1242
01:42:07,760 --> 01:42:11,140
I moved here 10 years ago, and one of the reasons why is because of the school sucks.

1243
01:42:11,920 --> 01:42:14,980
If the school size was larger, I probably wouldn't have moved here.

1244
01:42:15,460 --> 01:42:22,980
In fact, it's cheaper for me to move now to Chapel Quot because arguably a better school system than it is to find out a property in Pleasantville right now.

1245
01:42:23,900 --> 01:42:30,760
I love living here. I love living here because of the size of the town. I love living here because my son knows everyone in this class.

1246
01:42:31,380 --> 01:42:40,420
If we have the type of, you know, just people, noise, children, you know, the additions to the schools, I wouldn't have moved here.

1247
01:42:40,960 --> 01:42:48,060
In terms of the question of what to put in the property, I just don't understand why it has to be something of the size and scale.

1248
01:42:48,060 --> 01:42:51,880
you know, you can still have housing there, but it could be less.

1249
01:42:56,280 --> 01:43:19,720
If, if, let me say, almost, we and all of you will get a detailed school of study that supports or modifies what art has already said and also clarifies the enrollment situation in the very school and over recent years, and then we can all be reviewing that.

1250
01:43:19,720 --> 01:43:23,580
and that will help clarify what the

1251
01:43:23,580 --> 01:43:24,640
financial impact on us.

1252
01:43:25,180 --> 01:43:28,040
Peter, I feel the need to

1253
01:43:28,740 --> 01:43:29,260
all right.

1254
01:43:30,800 --> 01:43:33,480
We don't really have a three five bed for

1255
01:43:33,480 --> 01:43:36,420
0.0 20 year resident or pleasant all

1256
01:43:36,420 --> 01:43:37,040
hard to believe.

1257
01:43:38,700 --> 01:43:40,660
And I've been on the planning

1258
01:43:40,660 --> 01:43:42,580
commission now for

1259
01:43:44,080 --> 01:43:45,600
six or a matter years.

1260
01:43:46,180 --> 01:43:48,700
Since before COVID could be six

1261
01:43:48,700 --> 01:43:55,000
seven years, you were planning for something, you know, I did. Yeah, um, being on the planning commission,

1262
01:43:56,580 --> 01:44:02,400
I had the opportunity to see development in town from before COVID to the present

1263
01:45:00,690 --> 01:45:12,890
Very, very quick growth. In rapid succession, we went with the loss on Washington, then the 70

1264
01:45:12,890 --> 01:45:20,430
memorial plaza, which was 84 units, I believe, and then right before that was even finished,

1265
01:45:20,630 --> 01:45:25,210
we went right into the development of the property on Depew Street, which I believe

1266
01:45:25,210 --> 01:45:33,190
there's also over 60 units and now the property of the Chase bank has gotten their approvals

1267
01:45:34,090 --> 01:45:42,670
and if that ends up happening that's another 36 plus units. So there's a lot for a village that

1268
01:45:44,010 --> 01:45:47,490
for at least 100 years but we really have that much going on.

1269
01:45:52,050 --> 01:45:58,250
My experience on the planning commission is that by the time it gets to us, these projects,

1270
01:45:58,650 --> 01:46:05,610
these larger projects that we've experienced, some of the people mentioned earlier, they

1271
01:46:05,610 --> 01:46:13,290
do have this feeling of momentum and almost like this manifest destiny that they are going

1272
01:46:13,290 --> 01:46:21,330
to happen and you know we have these public meetings and people show up and they comment and by

1273
01:46:21,330 --> 01:46:23,630
that point we just feel like we

1274
01:46:25,810 --> 01:46:31,890
can try to manage this project but they can develop as of right

1275
01:46:31,890 --> 01:46:37,030
given whether they're applying for a variance or the things that have happened or they've gotten to

1276
01:46:37,030 --> 01:46:44,810
us this is where we are at that point and maybe we have a secret review and we deal that

1277
01:46:45,750 --> 01:46:52,550
certain things regarding secret are not to snuff, and we get hit back with, well, you

1278
01:46:52,550 --> 01:46:57,670
don't have the expertise to make that judgment, and our hands feel tied.

1279
01:46:59,730 --> 01:47:08,070
I'm going on, and really what I want to say is that we have the best intentions as citizens

1280
01:47:08,070 --> 01:47:14,850
of our community, as volunteers, these have show up for a meeting, but we show up on a weekly

1281
01:47:14,850 --> 01:47:26,050
or bi-weekly over years and contribute to our community, but we are civilians. We are not experts

1282
01:47:26,050 --> 01:47:34,490
at what we do, we've got experience, as we move along, but when a Fortune 500 company comes in

1283
01:47:35,050 --> 01:47:42,890
with the incredible resources that they have, we have to acknowledge that we are at disadvantage

1284
01:47:43,950 --> 01:47:52,170
will negotiate with them. They are experts at what they do. They know how to take a piece

1285
01:47:52,170 --> 01:48:02,910
of land and turn it into a profitable venture. They're really good. Thousands of projects.

1286
01:48:03,630 --> 01:48:11,910
Over decades, we don't have that experience. And I really think it's important for us first

1287
01:48:11,910 --> 01:48:18,250
to acknowledge that to ourselves and then do everything we can to level the plane.

1288
01:48:20,010 --> 01:48:24,750
I don't have all the answers on how we can level the plane here but it starts here and it's

1289
01:48:24,750 --> 01:48:25,730
got to start immediately

1290
01:48:27,900 --> 01:48:35,980
because they're a business man. They have their families, they have all

1291
01:48:35,980 --> 01:48:44,120
that going on but they're not from our community. They're here to make a bond and we are here to protect

1292
01:48:44,120 --> 01:48:49,580
community. That's why you guys signed up for this. You guys are not, you know, making deals and

1293
01:48:49,580 --> 01:48:57,220
making millions. So, decidedly not. I just wanted to share that from sort of inside the process,

1294
01:48:57,620 --> 01:49:05,000
I feel like these projects get this momentum going very quickly. And it almost becomes impossible.

1295
01:49:05,240 --> 01:49:07,400
No, it does become impossible to stop.

1296
01:49:10,000 --> 01:49:13,800
And at times, I feel like we have failed and we have a lot of

1297
01:49:13,800 --> 01:49:18,000
projects can move forward that maybe weren't in the best interest of the community.

1298
01:49:18,520 --> 01:49:22,040
And here we have property that is not zoned for residential.

1299
01:49:23,020 --> 01:49:27,440
There's a lot of things that have to happen, but this project to even be viable.

1300
01:49:28,560 --> 01:49:35,080
And I think before we take any step that opens the door to making it viable, we should really

1301
01:49:35,080 --> 01:49:47,950
take our time, hire the necessary experts to counsel us to protect us. Before we open

1302
01:49:47,950 --> 01:49:50,530
the door to something that we then cannot control.

1303
01:49:52,860 --> 01:49:53,420
Thank you.

1304
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:02,660
We're still learning and taking a lot of things in.

1305
01:50:05,060 --> 01:50:28,740
We're all residents of the community. It can be a little bit intense. These meetings, you know, sitting up here and being on the receiving end. But I just, you know, I don't know what we do or do not convey back to you. But just to make it explicit, you know, we're essentially here to listen to what you have to say also to listen to this petition at this point.

1306
01:50:28,740 --> 01:50:33,820
we're taking the information in and, you know, trying to understand that the best that we can

1307
01:50:33,820 --> 01:50:38,300
ourselves. So I just wanted to make that clear everyone. Well, I'd say I think it's great that

1308
01:50:38,300 --> 01:50:47,060
you are here. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's, it's, we often, we often are in an

1309
01:50:47,060 --> 01:50:51,960
empty room. So, it's true. All are on Zoom. Or what was the number that went in?

1310
01:50:54,940 --> 01:50:55,460
What are you

1311
01:50:55,460 --> 01:50:59,720
to talk someone who's on his iPhone 73.

1312
01:51:00,540 --> 01:51:01,100
Are you there?

1313
01:51:01,380 --> 01:51:02,260
I've spoken 73.

1314
01:51:02,660 --> 01:51:04,700
And if you are, tell us who you are in the drug business.

1315
01:51:05,060 --> 01:51:06,580
Hi, my name is Christine.

1316
01:51:06,840 --> 01:51:09,820
I, you know, I'm at 140 Foshe Avenue.

1317
01:51:09,860 --> 01:51:10,660
How are you?

1318
01:51:11,220 --> 01:51:11,500
Fine.

1319
01:51:12,220 --> 01:51:15,000
Okay, so I did just want to say a few things.

1320
01:51:15,960 --> 01:51:19,300
I agree that we should do nothing with the space.

1321
01:51:19,320 --> 01:51:24,540
I think that it's building these huge homes

1322
01:51:24,540 --> 01:51:28,300
and large homes is just not good for the community.

1323
01:51:28,980 --> 01:51:29,860
That's number one.

1324
01:51:30,360 --> 01:51:34,760
Number two is, and maybe, you know, I'm not an expert,

1325
01:51:35,080 --> 01:51:36,640
but I also would like to say,

1326
01:51:36,760 --> 01:51:39,680
like are we really solving the housing crisis

1327
01:51:39,680 --> 01:51:42,360
of New York with million dollar homes?

1328
01:51:43,000 --> 01:51:44,760
I mean, from my knowledge,

1329
01:51:44,920 --> 01:51:49,160
I don't think that that's part of the housing crisis.

1330
01:51:49,420 --> 01:51:51,320
I'm just, you know, I'm just speaking,

1331
01:51:51,320 --> 01:51:57,260
I'm a teacher, my husband's school teacher, public school teachers, you know, I don't know

1332
01:51:57,260 --> 01:52:02,440
how we're solving the housing crisis with offering million dollar homes.

1333
01:52:03,240 --> 01:52:11,620
The other question is that yes and one woman spoke, it does come off from the board, unfortunately,

1334
01:52:12,200 --> 01:52:19,600
that this is, it seems like you are not really considering what we are saying.

1335
01:52:19,600 --> 01:52:22,140
That's just an opinion that I have.

1336
01:52:22,880 --> 01:52:31,260
That's just how it seems because of the questioning that goes back and forth and the questioning to the developer.

1337
01:52:31,900 --> 01:52:35,980
The other thing is why do we have to choose this developer?

1338
01:52:36,920 --> 01:52:44,660
Why can't we get creative and look at other options which I really hope that we do?

1339
01:52:46,340 --> 01:52:57,460
The other thing in all of the previous developments that have come up recently, the many, many developments that the Board has approved and the mayor has approved,

1340
01:52:59,960 --> 01:53:10,280
these developers, like Mr. Gray said, they are Fortune 500, billionaires, billion billion billionaires.

1341
01:53:10,280 --> 01:53:19,180
they have no investment other than money in our community. I just want to say

1342
01:53:19,180 --> 01:53:26,620
that again. They have nothing that they want to do to our community other than

1343
01:53:26,620 --> 01:53:34,240
profit and they're going to profit big time. As our board members can you

1344
01:53:34,240 --> 01:53:44,500
please advocate and if this goes through, which I do not want it to, I do not. Can we save a portion

1345
01:53:44,500 --> 01:53:53,260
of those acres that we're selling for something for the community? Someone mentioned senior housing

1346
01:53:53,260 --> 01:54:02,260
or a senior center, a recreation center. Every one of these developments goes up and there's a profit

1347
01:54:02,260 --> 01:54:05,620
it, but it just doesn't seem to trickle down to us.

1348
01:54:05,780 --> 01:54:07,240
I know it builds revenue.

1349
01:54:07,560 --> 01:54:14,020
I understand that, but maybe we could push a little bit more considering that these

1350
01:54:14,020 --> 01:54:19,880
are Fortune 500 companies, that they're really looking at our land, like why do they want

1351
01:54:19,880 --> 01:54:20,580
to live here?

1352
01:54:20,800 --> 01:54:23,020
Maybe, you know, what is it?

1353
01:54:23,800 --> 01:54:30,680
So those are some of my questions, and I do, I know we're going to have further discussions

1354
01:54:30,680 --> 01:54:37,060
like this? And will you be able to answer specifically the questions like are we looking at other

1355
01:54:37,060 --> 01:54:46,480
options or is this the only developer that we're looking at? We didn't choose the developer. This

1356
01:54:46,480 --> 01:54:51,900
is a developer that has cut a deal with the property owners and come to us. We own this land,

1357
01:54:51,900 --> 01:54:59,920
we don't control it. And so that part of it is not our choice. The decision to permit the

1358
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:29,520
There's only more to modify it in some way is our choice. The choice that it's not like we have any control of its property. We don't just vote no. Right now. Right now. All right, is that you? But and see, I do have to say, though, that is where it seems like you guys just are throwing your hands up. We don't have any control. We don't, you know, we're doing this to save the housing crisis. It just seems like we're not like nobody's we're not.

1359
01:55:29,520 --> 01:55:32,640
Yeah, Christy, we're not from our heads at all.

1360
01:55:33,060 --> 01:55:38,880
Okay, so are we going to, okay, so they're the only people

1361
01:55:38,880 --> 01:55:41,380
that have come forward and proposed this.

1362
01:55:41,740 --> 01:55:44,480
There's no other people have, as I said earlier,

1363
01:55:44,680 --> 01:55:48,160
many people have kicked tires of his project,

1364
01:55:48,600 --> 01:55:52,900
settlement with the seven site and some without it.

1365
01:55:53,280 --> 01:55:55,500
This is the only one that has come forward

1366
01:55:55,500 --> 01:56:03,880
with a request to us to proceed either for any perks.

1367
01:56:04,500 --> 01:56:10,140
So then the board or the village, we could vote no,

1368
01:56:11,460 --> 01:56:16,220
and we'd still be okay. We'd still all be okay.

1369
01:56:16,660 --> 01:56:19,440
We could vote no on the zoning,

1370
01:56:19,700 --> 01:56:22,040
and then the zoning would stay as it is.

1371
01:56:22,040 --> 01:56:29,520
and then the property owner would have the option of selling it to somebody who uses it for commercial use,

1372
01:56:29,620 --> 01:56:32,920
if such a person presented themselves. That's the choice, basically.

1373
01:56:33,320 --> 01:56:37,620
Let's help them take a loss. I don't know how unfortunate 500 cars need to be,

1374
01:56:37,680 --> 01:56:40,780
and they actually just have to say it here. But we hear you think, go on.

1375
01:56:41,040 --> 01:56:43,380
All right, Bill, on the hand, I hear you, are you there?

1376
01:56:43,800 --> 01:56:45,020
A lot to come. You there, Bill?

1377
01:56:49,060 --> 01:56:50,220
Can you hear me?

1378
01:56:50,960 --> 01:56:51,660
Yes, we can.

1379
01:56:56,060 --> 01:57:01,240
in the day and the Dodgers are losing, by the way, to the blue jays of any of the centrists.

1380
01:57:04,260 --> 01:57:07,340
Does the developer, Lennar Homes, are they representing?

1381
01:57:07,440 --> 01:57:11,440
Hold on, stop, stop, stop. We've got to get your name and address from the file. We know we have it, but say it, please.

1382
01:57:12,720 --> 01:57:14,360
66 Gradle Claim, pleasant and New York.

1383
01:57:15,000 --> 01:57:15,900
Okay, great. Thank you.

1384
01:57:16,780 --> 01:57:23,280
Is the developer, Lenore Holmes, representing themselves as a contractor, Vendee, on the

1385
01:57:23,280 --> 01:57:24,240
property now or not?

1386
01:57:25,940 --> 01:57:27,120
I leave that to Tony D'Alene.

1387
01:57:27,900 --> 01:57:29,640
Why would you guys not know that?

1388
01:57:30,560 --> 01:57:31,920
You have not heard of your contract, Vendee.

1389
01:57:32,840 --> 01:57:37,460
Okay, so they have not made any purchase of this property up to this point.

1390
01:57:37,840 --> 01:57:42,260
So solely based on the fact that they get the zoning change, they would become much more

1391
01:57:42,260 --> 01:57:43,740
interested in developing this.

1392
01:57:45,060 --> 01:57:50,900
So, what I believe, and they will correctly if I'm wrong, is that they have negotiated

1393
01:57:51,600 --> 01:57:57,660
with the owners of all these parcels and come to an agreement that would be contingent

1394
01:57:57,660 --> 01:58:08,240
upon them gaining a zoning change, and that if they gain that zoning change, the purchase

1395
01:58:08,240 --> 01:58:13,080
just by that would be considered. There's a, I'm

1396
01:58:16,020 --> 01:58:16,320
not pretty

1397
01:58:16,320 --> 01:58:18,480
to the terms of the contract, but that's usually the way these things

1398
01:58:18,480 --> 01:58:22,080
work. Okay. All right. Thank you, Bill. What, yeah.

1399
01:58:22,220 --> 01:58:26,040
That was, that was question number one. Number two, number two. Are any of

1400
01:58:26,040 --> 01:58:29,560
the proposed roads in this? Are they going to be built to village

1401
01:58:29,560 --> 01:58:32,480
standards? Are they going to be dedicated to the village? What's,

1402
01:58:32,480 --> 01:58:36,120
what's the plan for that? So, so they will absolutely be built

1403
01:58:36,120 --> 01:58:42,700
to village standards and because Foxwood originally was never built to

1404
01:58:42,700 --> 01:58:46,180
village standards yet they came back to the village subsequent to it being

1405
01:58:46,180 --> 01:58:51,320
produced instead that they needed access for municipal services. So what we don't

1406
01:58:51,320 --> 01:58:55,360
own the roads in Foxwood in the we don't know campus tribe we get to our own tennis

1407
01:58:55,360 --> 01:59:00,560
courts across an easement so they're there there are a bunch of other

1408
01:59:00,560 --> 01:59:05,160
interlocking issues here including where our infrastructure would go if this

1409
01:59:05,160 --> 01:59:10,660
project where to happen as well as very significant stormwater issues that we have for a

1410
01:59:10,660 --> 01:59:15,280
generation been trying to grapple with. So that will all be part of this review going forward.

1411
01:59:15,940 --> 01:59:23,880
But no project will be accepted without roads that meet the standards that our bill

1412
01:59:23,880 --> 01:59:26,680
engineer requires and also that the fire department extends.

1413
01:59:28,220 --> 01:59:32,110
Third question, are there any roads proposed to go through the...

1414
01:59:32,110 --> 01:59:36,770
I mean, yeah, I'm trying to think of the gentleman that was speaking earlier, uh, Mr.

1415
01:59:37,370 --> 01:59:37,730
Oh, shoot.

1416
01:59:37,850 --> 01:59:38,370
Who was it?

1417
01:59:38,370 --> 01:59:39,110
It was excellent.

1418
01:59:39,930 --> 01:59:41,090
The guy that's been here.

1419
01:59:41,470 --> 01:59:42,710
He's older than me, I think.

1420
01:59:42,970 --> 01:59:43,550
Tom Rooney.

1421
01:59:44,070 --> 01:59:44,330
Yes.

1422
01:59:44,890 --> 01:59:45,590
His neighborhood.

1423
01:59:45,890 --> 01:59:46,350
Are there road?

1424
01:59:46,510 --> 01:59:48,110
I noticed from the map that they showed.

1425
01:59:48,210 --> 01:59:52,030
It looks like there's two dead-end roads that are pointing towards that development.

1426
01:59:52,310 --> 01:59:53,450
Are there proposed realistic?

1427
01:59:53,730 --> 01:59:54,750
They have to go into that development?

1428
01:59:55,430 --> 01:59:59,590
that the John Meyer people are probably in a better position, too.

1429
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:28,840
Common terms is the night, but the seven property includes a weird kind of a strip of property that goes straight down a steep hill adjacent to the aqueduct right away, and ends at Washington Avenue. But it is very steep, and I believe too narrow for any potential vehicular use. Would John Meyer, Diego is agreeing with what I just said.

1430
02:00:30,680 --> 02:00:41,740
So yes, that's accurate. There's no other driveway connections. It's only to campus drive and then emergency access to Mandel. There's no other connections than the other.

1431
02:00:42,040 --> 02:00:42,440
Right.

1432
02:00:43,900 --> 02:00:49,960
So the carries subdivision or the carry call the sec is that's going to be cited as an ingress or.

1433
02:00:50,960 --> 02:00:53,620
No, of course, it is not.

1434
02:00:54,140 --> 02:00:55,540
And why would that not be?

1435
02:00:56,260 --> 02:00:57,760
That's not what's proposed.

1436
02:00:58,120 --> 02:01:06,220
And to my knowledge, those parcels are not part of the purchase that let R6 to make.

1437
02:01:09,770 --> 02:01:13,270
There was a gentleman from the planning commission that spoke earlier.

1438
02:01:14,330 --> 02:01:17,890
Henry, he was sitting there, I think next to Jonathan there.

1439
02:01:18,290 --> 02:01:20,030
Excellent point of view.

1440
02:01:20,030 --> 02:01:20,230
Yes.

1441
02:01:20,830 --> 02:01:22,770
I appreciate his points.

1442
02:01:24,090 --> 02:01:30,830
You guys need to get professional help to get this project looked at, because I think

1443
02:01:30,830 --> 02:01:34,750
as he can to lead pointed out, you need those resources.

1444
02:01:35,490 --> 02:01:37,970
This is not something that is hard.

1445
02:01:40,130 --> 02:01:45,750
The planning commission went through seven years of development on the country club.

1446
02:01:45,750 --> 02:01:47,530
I think he went bankrupt twice.

1447
02:01:47,870 --> 02:01:53,250
It all was mostly due to ingress and egress, and that is a beautiful complex.

1448
02:01:53,250 --> 02:01:54,290
People hated it.

1449
02:01:54,450 --> 02:01:59,850
In fact, Austin Camp Riello was the biggest advocate against it, and he was on a planning board

1450
02:01:59,850 --> 02:02:00,430
at that point.

1451
02:02:00,830 --> 02:02:05,210
So I know he sits on a ZBA, so I assume now he's going to enjoy this type of thing, but

1452
02:02:05,210 --> 02:02:07,470
I don't think his decision is going to be blinding here.

1453
02:02:08,170 --> 02:02:09,570
So anyway, I appreciate your help.

1454
02:02:09,730 --> 02:02:11,050
I'm sorry to take your time.

1455
02:02:11,050 --> 02:02:15,130
So those are my only questions for now, but there are many, many more.

1456
02:02:15,370 --> 02:02:21,430
Appreciate it. I just want to respond to the professional assistance. We have professional

1457
02:02:21,430 --> 02:02:26,530
assistance sitting here in the form of obviously Jennifer Gray, our legal counsel from KVP.

1458
02:02:26,970 --> 02:02:34,930
And Susan Favate was a principal, I think. Is that correct? At BFJ Planning in New York City,

1459
02:02:34,930 --> 02:02:42,290
which has assisted us over the years on significant projects and has really

1460
02:02:42,290 --> 02:02:48,270
tremendously broad experience in the region. So they also have access to all

1461
02:02:48,270 --> 02:02:54,310
kinds of experts in each category reaching out both your BFJ and their

1462
02:02:54,310 --> 02:02:57,690
many allied companies in the Perkins Estman

1463
02:02:57,690 --> 02:03:03,190
and another universe, the Milky Way, whatever.

1464
02:03:03,710 --> 02:03:08,950
So, we do have traffic consultants within the form,

1465
02:03:09,130 --> 02:03:12,230
urban design, and they have come in at various points,

1466
02:03:12,270 --> 02:03:13,130
if so needed.

1467
02:03:13,470 --> 02:03:17,650
Right. So, I do feel as though we're well represented,

1468
02:03:18,010 --> 02:03:21,790
which isn't to say we all should ask our questions,

1469
02:03:22,170 --> 02:03:25,990
and we will then hold everybody to a high standard,

1470
02:03:25,990 --> 02:03:27,710
including folks that consult with us.

1471
02:03:28,850 --> 02:03:29,570
Thanks very much.

1472
02:03:30,250 --> 02:03:31,690
All right, Julie Edwards.

1473
02:03:31,950 --> 02:03:33,470
I see you there. Are you there?

1474
02:03:36,900 --> 02:03:38,580
Yep, I'm here. Sorry.

1475
02:03:38,820 --> 02:03:40,800
This is Julie Edwards, McDowell.

1476
02:03:41,780 --> 02:03:42,840
Yes. Can you hear me?

1477
02:03:44,520 --> 02:03:48,520
Sorry, I was there in person and then I had to come home and

1478
02:03:48,520 --> 02:03:50,660
put a child to bed and log back on.

1479
02:03:50,820 --> 02:03:54,660
That's how passionately I feel about hearing what you all had

1480
02:03:54,660 --> 02:03:57,560
to say. So I'll just echo the thanks for being transparent

1481
02:03:57,560 --> 02:04:02,500
parent and David and folks for posting and making us aware that this session was happening.

1482
02:04:03,220 --> 02:04:06,040
I know I missed some of the first part of the public comment.

1483
02:04:06,400 --> 02:04:10,160
So if I'm repeating things, I'm just going to beg forgiveness.

1484
02:04:11,980 --> 02:04:18,180
It feels like some of what we are confronting is the worry about what could happen if we

1485
02:04:18,180 --> 02:04:23,600
don't take this as kind of like our, you know, first and best shot.

1486
02:04:23,600 --> 02:04:39,240
But I'd be really interested in kind of learning more about or helping paint the picture of what other development could look like so that we're actually making a decision that's not based on a fear that is not shaped.

1487
02:04:40,140 --> 02:04:47,280
I know we've talked a lot about does it stay as commercial campus office and that could cause tons of traffic.

1488
02:05:00,000 --> 02:05:29,980
I'd love for us to as a community understand the different scenarios laid out. That's just like thing one and if you you've chatted about that already I apologize. I'd also love to talk about the methodologies that we use for our traffic studies because I think anyone that lives in this town that has heard that we've done traffic studies for x, y, and z also exists in this town and knows that whatever traffic studies or data we're using is not necessarily visualizing and what all

1489
02:05:29,980 --> 02:05:33,560
of us are experiencing in our cars or on the streets.

1490
02:05:34,500 --> 02:05:36,940
I don't think we're accounting for deliveries

1491
02:05:36,940 --> 02:05:39,960
for all of the incremental traffic.

1492
02:05:40,240 --> 02:05:42,620
So I just asked that we maybe expand

1493
02:05:42,620 --> 02:05:43,460
or think differently.

1494
02:05:43,640 --> 02:05:45,460
I know you talked about the professional services

1495
02:05:45,460 --> 02:05:47,720
that our lawyer and consultants have.

1496
02:05:48,300 --> 02:05:50,820
I don't believe that our current traffic studies are adequate

1497
02:05:50,820 --> 02:05:52,360
or giving us a real full picture,

1498
02:05:52,360 --> 02:05:54,020
especially around peak times.

1499
02:05:54,020 --> 02:05:58,120
And it would be good to really dive into that

1500
02:05:58,120 --> 02:06:03,440
because we can make data say whatever we wanted to say and right now we've been using it to say

1501
02:06:03,440 --> 02:06:07,360
that it's not going to cause a ton of traffic and I think we all know that that's actually not true

1502
02:06:08,020 --> 02:06:13,780
because we all drive here and then I just love to kind of just reinforce some of the points that

1503
02:06:13,780 --> 02:06:20,680
others have made which is I would love to see some form of community kind of give back in some

1504
02:06:20,680 --> 02:06:27,980
of these proposals and I'd also love to see the density seriously lessened. This feels like a lot

1505
02:06:28,120 --> 02:06:33,840
of properties at a price point that it doesn't seem a lot of people want and it seems from the

1506
02:06:33,840 --> 02:06:39,900
community outreach that a lot of us don't want it either. So I look forward to participating further,

1507
02:06:40,200 --> 02:06:45,200
but those are my thoughts. Please don't do it. Okay. Thank you. Thank you, Shirley.

1508
02:06:45,740 --> 02:06:52,240
Thanks for logging in after you. You had to go home. All right. There are no more raised hands and

1509
02:06:52,240 --> 02:06:55,980
zoom? Any further comment from anybody? The board?

1510
02:06:56,420 --> 02:06:59,480
Yeah. I feel

1511
02:07:01,620 --> 02:07:05,980
what people are saying here and I'm glad that we came to say it.

1512
02:07:06,460 --> 02:07:13,720
I wish I had the certainty of either the developers on one side or the people in this room on the other side

1513
02:07:14,340 --> 02:07:20,140
because if I did this would be a very simple process. But I feel a lot of concern is a lot of worries.

1514
02:07:20,140 --> 02:07:26,560
And I also, I have worries for the village about the way that we're tipping into a wealthy community.

1515
02:07:28,020 --> 02:07:32,140
And I'm concerned about the housing stuff, I really am.

1516
02:07:32,520 --> 02:07:37,500
So the only thing I would say is, please keep engaging us.

1517
02:07:37,700 --> 02:07:45,140
I think you're pushing us to be better, like, to completely understand the alternatives,

1518
02:07:45,140 --> 02:07:51,220
It is to completely understand the economic model for the developers to understand the implications

1519
02:07:51,220 --> 02:07:58,320
of the zoning and what we could do to adjust zoning, because there may be something here

1520
02:07:58,320 --> 02:08:08,220
between what's presented and a more of an office building that could be rebuilt as a

1521
02:08:08,220 --> 02:08:15,620
right that we probably wouldn't like what had happened that couldn't actually help us and you know

1522
02:08:16,560 --> 02:08:22,680
I would like to at least explore that before giving up on the process. I understand the anger

1523
02:08:22,680 --> 02:08:30,080
I understand the I was responsible for getting some of you into the room but I honestly because

1524
02:08:30,080 --> 02:08:35,280
it's a healthier process the way it often happens where you should have come in the middle of the

1525
02:08:35,280 --> 02:08:43,260
stream, and then you get that feeling of inevitability. This is day one, right? So it really is in our

1526
02:08:43,260 --> 02:08:51,060
control how this moves forward. And if this is going to happen, they have to make a profit, but it has to be

1527
02:08:51,060 --> 02:08:59,020
something good for the village too, and has to be better than our other alternatives. And that would be my standard for any

1528
02:08:59,020 --> 02:09:04,700
build that I made. Thank you. I think for me, part of, you know,

1529
02:09:04,820 --> 02:09:09,080
comment that we made on why are you maintaining this. To me, it's

1530
02:09:09,080 --> 02:09:13,060
important to understand systems and how things work. So I, myself,

1531
02:09:13,280 --> 02:09:17,100
along my second term here, and I'm relishing next year, you know,

1532
02:09:17,200 --> 02:09:20,500
yet had any kind of experience as to what is his own change? How

1533
02:09:20,500 --> 02:09:24,300
does that happen? Specifically, what are we looking for? So for me,

1534
02:09:24,520 --> 02:09:27,940
this was very important. I specifically wanted to see this process

1535
02:09:27,940 --> 02:09:29,260
is to understand how it is.

1536
02:09:29,340 --> 02:09:32,100
It doesn't mean that I'm for it or against it.

1537
02:09:32,220 --> 02:09:33,440
I just want to understand it.

1538
02:09:34,060 --> 02:09:35,640
As a resident, I've been in the other,

1539
02:09:35,860 --> 02:09:37,020
I've been literally where you are.

1540
02:09:37,200 --> 02:09:40,000
I was living on Maple Hill, essentially,

1541
02:09:40,100 --> 02:09:42,200
on Bedford Road when the benchmark project came up.

1542
02:09:42,720 --> 02:09:45,500
And it was a sign that this board at that time

1543
02:09:45,500 --> 02:09:46,480
voted against it.

1544
02:09:46,600 --> 02:09:47,780
So I've seen that happen.

1545
02:09:47,940 --> 02:09:48,980
These things do happen.

1546
02:10:00,000 --> 02:10:28,740
Without even considering it, I think doesn't make any sense. It doesn't also sway that we're looking at it that way or we are on their side. It's understanding what exactly how does the petition happened. When we spoke about this, all I can think it was as a kid, I'm going to turn it. So I love how bill becomes a law. It's understanding where does it start and where we are right now is that. And you know, we have a lot of professionals that are helping us. And it's important to understand these things. So I do think it's important to have this meeting.

1547
02:10:30,260 --> 02:10:35,100
understanding the rest of the studies that do come from this, it's going to help us make

1548
02:10:35,100 --> 02:10:38,740
other decisions, the moratorium that we had helped me understand a lot of things then.

1549
02:10:39,140 --> 02:10:42,860
I want to update us to what's happening with those studies, and I want to know also what

1550
02:10:42,860 --> 02:10:47,460
other studies can we do, and these studies that are now working, why aren't they're working,

1551
02:10:47,620 --> 02:10:48,540
what things are we missing?

1552
02:10:49,080 --> 02:10:52,220
Because I've been with the development, these things are going to come up in the future many,

1553
02:10:52,360 --> 02:10:52,700
many times.

1554
02:10:53,020 --> 02:10:54,780
So why not attack it?

1555
02:10:54,920 --> 02:10:57,220
And it doesn't, like I said, it doesn't mean that we're citing the one.

1556
02:10:57,220 --> 02:11:01,520
I think it's us informing ourselves and more importantly informing the community.

1557
02:11:02,020 --> 02:11:06,220
There are so many people that don't even have a clue that this area exists in Pleasanton.

1558
02:11:06,620 --> 02:11:08,820
And so it's important to note that and put it out there.

1559
02:11:09,020 --> 02:11:12,100
And that's the reason why we're incredibly transparent about this.

1560
02:11:12,320 --> 02:11:14,600
You guys are all in step one on this to see this.

1561
02:11:14,780 --> 02:11:20,460
So hopefully that's, I think, the message that I would like for the community, everyone that's

1562
02:11:20,460 --> 02:11:23,920
in the present time to understand that we are trying to be year-to-person.

1563
02:11:24,160 --> 02:11:26,000
We are trying to be your boys.

1564
02:11:26,000 --> 02:11:30,440
We are trying to get as much information as we can for everyone, and that we're not

1565
02:11:30,440 --> 02:11:34,520
siding with anyone. We are just trying to get as informed as you are. So the thing for

1566
02:11:34,520 --> 02:11:38,340
me, that's my message. There isn't anything about that. The questions that we're asking

1567
02:11:38,340 --> 02:11:42,200
is essentially plain levels of advocates because those questions are important to be said.

1568
02:11:42,500 --> 02:11:46,280
It doesn't necessarily mean that we side with anyone in particular, but it's important to

1569
02:11:46,280 --> 02:11:50,400
have this kind of dialogue. And I think this homie makes us better in the way that we govern

1570
02:11:50,400 --> 02:11:55,300
and make our decisions. That's just my point of view. We're all at this whole procedure today.

1571
02:11:57,000 --> 02:12:00,800
I appreciate that thought. I just wanted to add that there were some sort of broad

1572
02:12:00,800 --> 02:12:05,840
level issues that were brought up in this session about what kind of community do we want to be?

1573
02:12:06,100 --> 02:12:12,200
You know, what do we want to prioritize and what ways can we improve our community? And I appreciate

1574
02:12:12,200 --> 02:12:16,540
those kinds of thoughts and those sort of, you know, how can we work together and think creatively.

1575
02:12:17,500 --> 02:12:21,860
So I hope that this can be kind of an opportunity also to do more of that.

1576
02:12:22,020 --> 02:12:29,500
And if you see that there's a particular issue or particular area of life in our village that you feel passionate about,

1577
02:12:29,620 --> 02:12:31,820
that maybe you think about getting more involved with that.

1578
02:12:32,020 --> 02:12:38,140
I mean, you know, we are all, you know, essentially in the same position as you, right,

1579
02:12:38,340 --> 02:12:42,940
we're your neighbors and your, you know, fellow parents and so on.

1580
02:12:42,940 --> 02:12:49,500
And, you know, are trying to work within the parameters, you know, having pleasant,

1581
02:12:49,500 --> 02:12:55,440
there'll be more affordable is going to be, you know, a difficult solution to arrive at,

1582
02:12:55,520 --> 02:12:58,800
right? When we live in Westchester County, just north of New York City.

1583
02:12:59,240 --> 02:13:04,480
But are there creative things that we can do to, you know, move the needle out or so slightly

1584
02:13:04,480 --> 02:13:09,640
in that direction, those kinds of things? So, I hope that this also provides an opportunity

1585
02:13:09,640 --> 02:13:15,460
to think about some of those broader issues and what it is that we would like for the future

1586
02:13:15,460 --> 02:13:23,200
of Pleasantham. So I just wanted at one point that it was triggered by what these guys said.

1587
02:13:24,360 --> 02:13:29,280
Henry said we were sleepy for 100 years and I get why he was saying that and I've been here for

1588
02:13:29,280 --> 02:13:30,020
40 of them.

1589
02:13:32,100 --> 02:13:36,740
But it's worth noting that there have been and someone else said on Facebook this weekend

1590
02:13:36,740 --> 02:13:40,020
that you know these things always get proved why did we even can why did we even talk about

1591
02:13:40,020 --> 02:13:49,640
our wasting number and so uh Foxwood which evolved in in the 70s required zoning changes

1592
02:13:51,260 --> 02:13:59,010
254 units I believe and it was a a fraught conversation before before my time a black

1593
02:13:59,010 --> 02:14:05,530
It's like a conversation because

1594
02:14:09,790 --> 02:14:13,070
it was such a significant change and such a transition

1595
02:14:13,070 --> 02:14:19,850
from, you know, this world that had once been 500 acres of one of the wealthiest men in

1596
02:14:20,470 --> 02:14:25,670
the nation eventually evolving into different pieces.

1597
02:14:25,670 --> 02:14:34,570
In the 80s Bill Lanahan made reference to the country club, 66 townhouses I think, something

1598
02:14:34,570 --> 02:14:41,970
I'm about right on that. Also a law brought and complicated a conversation. And then all

1599
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:08,900
This church property that Maple Hill and Bedford Road, I will say having been the person who

1600
02:15:08,900 --> 02:15:15,840
passed the deciding vote against Benchmark, in a vote that actually passed three to two,

1601
02:15:16,000 --> 02:15:22,520
but failed to receive a supermajority. There were plenty of very good arguments on both

1602
02:15:22,520 --> 02:15:28,800
sides of that issue has this painfully true on so many things. But I can tell you in sort

1603
02:15:28,800 --> 02:15:34,460
of mouth to Facebook when I saw this person say it doesn't matter, these things always go through

1604
02:15:34,460 --> 02:15:41,220
to say. And if you're talking as I hope you've heard, not a bunch of people who are trying not to hear

1605
02:15:41,220 --> 02:15:46,860
you, not a bunch of people who are trying to push back, you know, guess what you say, but also to

1606
02:15:46,860 --> 02:15:52,480
maintain a level playing field for all of us. So we share a common set of

1607
02:15:52,480 --> 02:15:56,860
understandings about the facts. And obviously there are all kinds of things that

1608
02:15:56,860 --> 02:16:02,300
are our our our interpretations of the facts and the implications for the

1609
02:16:02,300 --> 02:16:10,480
future. All that is up for grabs. But I do think as I as I as I hope we have made

1610
02:16:10,480 --> 02:16:18,180
clear. Perhaps not that there are five people who are here all for the same positive reasons,

1611
02:16:18,500 --> 02:16:22,860
all with different backgrounds, all with different points about individual aspects of this button.

1612
02:16:23,880 --> 02:16:28,040
Those many voices, and there are many voices, will all be heard through this process.

1613
02:16:28,520 --> 02:16:36,350
With that, I think we've said enough on this subject, Rick, and I said we invite all of you to stay

1614
02:16:36,350 --> 02:16:42,750
for resolutions 3.30 to 3.30, which you're welcome to share your comments.

1615
02:16:43,870 --> 02:16:44,090
Thank you.

1616
02:16:44,510 --> 02:16:46,470
Thank you.

1617
02:16:46,950 --> 02:16:47,330
All right.

1618
02:16:48,770 --> 02:16:50,250
Let me share my screen.

1619
02:16:50,970 --> 02:16:51,750
I remember how.

1620
02:16:52,210 --> 02:16:52,650
All right.

1621
02:16:54,470 --> 02:16:55,830
I know.

1622
02:16:56,430 --> 02:16:56,450
I know.

1623
02:16:56,450 --> 02:16:56,670
I know.

1624
02:16:57,530 --> 02:16:59,690
I know.

1625
02:17:00,030 --> 02:17:00,230
I know.

1626
02:17:00,770 --> 02:17:01,490
I know.

1627
02:17:03,970 --> 02:17:04,630
I know.

1628
02:17:05,230 --> 02:17:05,790
I know.

1629
02:17:05,950 --> 02:17:06,210
I know.

1630
02:17:06,210 --> 02:17:06,230
I know.

1631
02:17:09,410 --> 02:17:11,170
Okay, three thirty balls.

1632
02:17:13,570 --> 02:17:14,050
Okay.

1633
02:17:14,050 --> 02:17:14,210
Thank you.

1634
02:17:18,460 --> 02:17:20,160
The board of trustees give way.

1635
02:17:20,280 --> 02:17:23,900
For the minutes of Erno meeting, how about two or 15 to 2020 glasses.

1636
02:17:24,140 --> 02:17:24,780
Is there a second?

1637
02:17:26,220 --> 02:17:28,640
I may take that to comments or coaches to the news.

1638
02:17:30,840 --> 02:17:32,020
Okay, I know.

1639
02:17:32,140 --> 02:17:33,040
I motion a group.

1640
02:17:33,260 --> 02:17:33,980
Three thirty one.

1641
02:17:33,980 --> 02:17:36,360
currently nest with them.

1642
02:17:36,760 --> 02:17:42,140
Resolved with the Board of Trustees hereby proves the following budget amendments for fiscal year ending in 2026.

1643
02:17:42,140 --> 02:17:49,680
This list is below budget transfer of the general fund $2894 from contingency to senior inhibition supplies,

1644
02:17:50,360 --> 02:17:55,500
$13,700 of contingency to sanitary sewers outside services,

1645
02:17:55,500 --> 02:17:58,800
is appropriate fund balance of the general fund,

1646
02:17:59,420 --> 02:18:03,580
$24,565 transferred to capital for engineering,

1647
02:18:03,920 --> 02:18:05,520
flood mapping, and traffic constant.

1648
02:18:06,400 --> 02:18:07,880
Is there a second?

1649
02:18:09,780 --> 02:18:13,040
That traffic common study, as I mentioned last week,

1650
02:18:13,240 --> 02:18:16,120
is looking at nano-having and also hopper streak,

1651
02:18:16,460 --> 02:18:19,320
further to that conversation, more in full suit,

1652
02:18:19,540 --> 02:18:20,060
all in favor.

1653
02:18:20,560 --> 02:18:23,960
I know, should I prove 332, David?

1654
02:18:23,960 --> 02:18:27,260
Okay, there's all over the trustees here by proves the abstract for payment of claims

1655
02:18:27,260 --> 02:18:34,160
for warrants one, two, seven, two, five, and EBF one, two, seven, date, October 27th, 2025,

1656
02:18:34,220 --> 02:18:43,040

1657
02:18:43,120 --> 02:18:53,860
$39.10 and capital fund, $270,000, $42.05, refugees fund, $23,747.64 for total

1658
02:18:53,860 --> 02:19:01,480
of 563,278 dollars and 74 cents the invoice entries are attached.

1659
02:19:01,740 --> 02:19:02,380
Is there a second?

1660
02:19:02,840 --> 02:19:03,720
Thank you.

1661
02:19:03,960 --> 02:19:10,220
So that number includes some big expenses insurance who are paying for the backup, the new water

1662
02:19:10,220 --> 02:19:13,880
truck and the lack of the playground bill of the federal capital.

1663
02:19:14,520 --> 02:19:14,960
All in favor.

1664
02:19:15,780 --> 02:19:18,600
I'm adding motion to prove you have made 333.

1665
02:19:20,500 --> 02:19:24,520
Resolved at the Board of Trustees hereby authorizes the recreation superintendent to hold the

1666
02:19:24,520 --> 02:19:31,200
annual holiday lighting ceremony in the Memorial Plaza Civic Space on Sunday to 7 or 7 at

1667
02:19:31,200 --> 02:19:31,880
6 p.m.

1668
02:19:35,370 --> 02:19:40,450
Sorry, we're on Sunday to 7 p.m., let's expand their part, close the north side of the Memorial

1669
02:19:40,450 --> 02:19:46,610
Plaza parking lot, according to the Z-Boat Pacific Space from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and further

1670
02:19:46,610 --> 02:19:50,450
The result of the Board of Trustees authorizes the police chief post their working signs

1671
02:19:50,450 --> 02:19:54,130
in advance of the event, and to tow all of the vehicles available from this temporary

1672
02:19:54,130 --> 02:19:54,770
So, is there a parking restriction?

1673
02:19:55,550 --> 02:19:56,590
So, is there a second?

1674
02:19:57,530 --> 02:19:59,970
So, do we...

1675
02:20:00,850 --> 02:20:14,390
The Director Department has lined up a rental of a temporary ice removal. That's right. It's not actually ice, but it means... Sorry, thank you for your time. I don't know. Maybe I said, then what?

1676
02:20:14,550 --> 02:20:29,850
Good afternoon, because it affects my anxiety. Sorry, thank you for your time, I don't remember. So anyway, I changed for a usual tradition, but a new element added to it. Thank you to the Director's Organ, sir. I know that we talked about this, but reminding you what would happen to the holidays.

1677
02:20:29,850 --> 02:20:31,150
the holiday tree.

1678
02:20:31,610 --> 02:20:32,790
So it's still there.

1679
02:20:33,310 --> 02:20:35,030
It is under.

1680
02:20:36,070 --> 02:20:36,810
It's under.

1681
02:20:37,870 --> 02:20:39,550
I hope not hospice care.

1682
02:20:39,710 --> 02:20:41,050
It's under the Charlie Brown.

1683
02:20:41,250 --> 02:20:42,630
It's under accelerate there.

1684
02:20:43,310 --> 02:20:44,470
But it's not.

1685
02:20:44,710 --> 02:20:47,150
It's not doing as well as we hold.

1686
02:20:47,650 --> 02:20:50,710
But I will also say a new tree is planted downtown.

1687
02:20:50,990 --> 02:20:52,990
And and we're going to like the old tree as well.

1688
02:20:53,450 --> 02:20:58,830
But the among the advantage of going back to the city space is.

1689
02:20:58,830 --> 02:21:01,950
not only can we do this temporary ice cream thing,

1690
02:21:02,190 --> 02:21:06,290
but we also have power there and we can avoid

1691
02:21:06,290 --> 02:21:08,910
that Jordan generators to drive the lights

1692
02:21:08,910 --> 02:21:10,290
and we don't have the recording.

1693
02:21:11,290 --> 02:21:13,310
We'll have it very, yes, yes we will.

1694
02:21:13,930 --> 02:21:15,170
Also the Chamber of Commerce

1695
02:21:15,170 --> 02:21:17,630
sort of ones that are sponsored in half of it.

1696
02:21:17,790 --> 02:21:19,650
Just that the ice cream is about $5,000,

1697
02:21:19,850 --> 02:21:21,890
so Chamber is donating half of that.

1698
02:21:21,990 --> 02:21:22,750
Okay, thank you.

1699
02:21:23,050 --> 02:21:25,970
So just to be clear, it requires special skates, right?

1700
02:21:26,090 --> 02:21:27,150
These are not regular skates.

1701
02:21:27,150 --> 02:21:29,530
is that they better provide these things.

1702
02:21:30,370 --> 02:21:33,070
For four hours, they're going to have people

1703
02:21:33,070 --> 02:21:36,570
that are working there, or people that are working there.

1704
02:21:36,870 --> 02:21:38,070
It'll be a couple of hours.

1705
02:21:38,310 --> 02:21:40,410
They also have music that comes with a whole stage.

1706
02:21:41,130 --> 02:21:44,310
I swear, so that'll be kind of a line

1707
02:21:44,310 --> 02:21:47,030
where we're trying to do kind of like a whole shopping day

1708
02:21:47,030 --> 02:21:49,310
as well as businesses and getting them involved

1709
02:21:49,310 --> 02:21:50,570
with specials, things like that.

1710
02:21:50,790 --> 02:21:53,290
That essentially culminates to six o'clock,

1711
02:21:53,290 --> 02:21:56,150
starting the ceremony, like you usually

1712
02:21:56,150 --> 02:22:02,570
did where there's a band, we'll be music, we're going to get probably middle school choir

1713
02:22:02,570 --> 02:22:07,670
or a Girl Scouts choir, and then we'll end with the lighting happening at 7 p.m.

1714
02:22:08,910 --> 02:22:10,590
So we have all in favor.

1715
02:22:10,810 --> 02:22:11,350
Hi, hi.

1716
02:22:11,350 --> 02:22:14,390
Hi, most should have proved, 334, my people.

1717
02:22:16,170 --> 02:22:20,150
Resultant Board of Trustees, see if I assess the Resonation of Soul, Ibarra, the Recreation

1718
02:22:20,150 --> 02:22:24,750
System, John Class, 269, Panther Club, in fact, they're about 12 or 25, 2025.

1719
02:22:24,750 --> 02:22:29,490
25 is there second? Second. All in favor. I'm motion approved and it cold.

1720
02:22:30,650 --> 02:22:34,050
Resolved with the Board of Trustees here by authorizes the Village Administrator.

1721
02:22:34,470 --> 02:22:38,810
Sign an agreement with the County of Westchester for the purposes of the Westchester County Stop

1722
02:22:39,530 --> 02:22:45,150
DWI troll data master project with a contract and now not to exceed $8,400 with a term

1723
02:22:45,150 --> 02:22:51,470
beginning January 1st, 2020, and ending December 31st, 2030. Is there a second? Second.

1724
02:22:51,470 --> 02:22:58,110
This aligns before we've done it past. That's correct. All in favor. Hi. Hi. We're going to be with David 336.

1725
02:22:58,910 --> 02:23:08,830
Result Board of Trustees hereby accepts the donation to the Clinton Street Center from Jonathan Cunningham from the amount of $150 for the purpose of senior meals. Thank you Jonathan. Is there a second?

1726
02:23:09,150 --> 02:23:20,230
I can report that Jonathan received 150 out of 5M for his photographic work for the music festival and he is returning it to us in this formal and

1727
02:23:20,230 --> 02:23:27,730
favorite. Thank you Jonathan Yanney said that changes the loss on the music best for

1728
02:23:27,730 --> 02:23:29,950
by a lot. Yeah, we are.

1729
02:23:29,950 --> 02:23:34,710
I was on the board of trustees here by the first request from Gus Chauvin, one underneath

1730
02:23:34,710 --> 02:23:39,010
Charles Lane, to hold a black party and there I close Charles Lane at one hundred eight

1731
02:23:39,010 --> 02:23:42,730
Charles Lane from Congress, to Crawford Street on Saturday that I'm on first.

1732
02:23:43,230 --> 02:23:46,050
2025 and we'll learn to learn how to do that.

1733
02:23:46,050 --> 02:23:54,550
is there a second ratified by the end of your all in favor. I have a high ocean proof. And the last

1734
02:23:55,770 --> 02:24:02,190
blessedly, 338 back to 4, whereas each year the villager pleasant over by the snow plight an isromal

1735
02:24:02,190 --> 02:24:07,510
rosewood village and result. But more to trustees here, I have foods that snow and ice agreements have

1736
02:24:07,510 --> 02:24:13,670
stand from 2025-2026 season. Is there a second? So this is the agreement for the state

1737
02:24:13,670 --> 02:24:20,610
reimbursement of our plowing of their, that is correct. Modest though it is, that's right.

1738
02:24:21,330 --> 02:24:27,790
You got to take what you can get. All right, any further comments from the public on any subject?

1739
02:24:28,570 --> 02:24:34,150
We check in Zoom if there is an attendee to their left hand. Someone has raised their hand.

1740
02:24:37,250 --> 02:24:45,350
Are you there? I am. What did you have to say? Hello, Miura 3 Hazel Brode.

1741
02:24:45,350 --> 02:24:51,450
I'm actually message a listener to say this, but I'm still on, so when we met earlier,

1742
02:24:51,790 --> 02:24:58,590
I forgot to ask that the village announced that the CAC is co-sponsoring a talk about trees

1743
02:24:58,590 --> 02:24:59,750
This coming first.

1744
02:25:00,000 --> 02:25:29,140
I'm about to out our audience is not just good. Well, maybe they'll watch tomorrow. This Thursday. Yeah. Yeah. This is the end of this. Yeah. The amount of positive. Alright. That's it. That's great. Thank you for that. And thank you for getting that going. Well, yeah, all right. Any comment from anyone before we have a motion to go to executive session to discuss personnel and tractual matters in real estate. So moved. Second. Well, a favor.

1745
02:25:29,140 --> 02:25:34,820
Hi, thank you all. Long night for any of you who are still among us. We appreciate it.

1746
02:25:34,980 --> 02:25:39,760
More come on the subject of an art for sure. We are going to depart.

1747
02:25:39,760 --> 02:25:41,500
to the federal session.
