00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:18,000

And number 17 is a resolution for fees pursuant to ordinance 304.

193
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,000

00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,000
All those in favor?

198
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,000
Please signify by saying aye.

199
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,000
Aye. Any opposed?

200
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,000
Motion passes.

201
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,000
We have an agenda.

202
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:53,000
So next residents this is now your opportunity for you to address the board.

203
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,000
Regarding any of the items on the agenda that I discovered.

204
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:01,000
Your comments pursuant to the board policy are limited to three minutes.

205
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:07,000
Please keep in mind that while the scope or your discussion at this point of the meeting should be limited to agenda items.

206
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:15,000
You will also have an opportunity at the end of the meeting to discuss a wider range of topics that relate to Township business.

207
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,000
I do see some new faces here.

208
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:23,000
So what we do is in your three minutes we give you a 15 second warning before you three minutes is off.

209
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,000
So you can kind of wrap it up.

210
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,000
Okay.

211
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:33,000
So is there anyone who would like to come up to comment on any of the 17 items that we just covered?

212
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,000
Yes ma'am.

213
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:42,000
Thank you.

214
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,000
Good evening.

215
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,000
My name is Tammy Porter.

216
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,000
My address is 777222 mile road.

217
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:58,000
I am opposed to the rezoning of the property next door to my residents from a C1 and O1 office to a C2 for the Sheets 247 gas station.

218
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,000
According to the mission and liquor control court code.

219
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:08,000
Administration rules and related laws chapter five page five four section 503 paragraph one.

220
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:15,000
Denying new application for license to sell alcohol beverages at retail within 500 feet of a church or a school building.

221
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,000
There's a church next to my right next to my property.

222
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:23,000
November 23 at the planning of 2024 at the planning commission meeting.

223
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:28,000
Sheets representative stated that they don't have to sell alcohol whether sheets sells alcohol or not.

224
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:33,000
I am opposed to those sheets 247 gas station right next to my property.

225
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,000
It's a residence and it always has been.

226
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:41,000
This would negatively impact my residents through increased traffic making it more difficult to exit and enter my driveway.

227
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,000
People turning into my driveway as well.

228
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:53,000
More accidents noise 247 garbage overflow and crying according to the diagram that was showed for the drawings of the sheets.

229
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,000
They widened the entry because the entry that was shared by the office space and the doctors.

230
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:02,000
And the doctor's office was on the other side of the doctor's office property well away from mine.

231
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:09,000
Also, when you have office space, it has a designated time of operation Monday through Friday and evenings and weekends are closed.

232
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:15,000
This is a 247 operation constant traffic constant noise blocking my driveway.

233
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:21,000
I already have issues with people turning in my driveway even when I was standing there with a bus with my children in the morning.

234
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:27,000
They were trying to come into my driveway and I have to ask you my children to decide and then go talk to the person and say,

235
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:35,000
You have a strip, you have a post office, you have a church, do not turn in my driveway blocking my driveway for me and my children getting in there.

236
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,000
It's a residence. It always has been.

237
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,000
For 77 years.

238
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,000
I'm frustrated with that.

239
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:47,000
Again, office space is more practical for that corner and especially with accidents.

240
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:51,000
I have lived there for a very long time and in this community even longer.

241
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:55,000
And the accidents that occur at the circle K.

242
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,000
Both their access on to 22 in Van Dyke.

243
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,000
It's constant.

244
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,000
Okay.

245
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:07,000
My concern again, those negative impact to my property and to my family with this 247 operation.

246
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,000
It's very unsettling to me.

247
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,000
Thank you for your time.

248
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,000
Okay. Thank you very much.

249
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,000
A couple of comments I want to make.

250
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,000
So the way we handle our meetings is at the end of public discussion.

251
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,000
We answer all the questions instead of taking one out of time.

252
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,000
So if you hear a question, you don't have to ask it again.

253
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,000
You can if you want.

254
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,000
But you don't need to.

255
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,000
We will get to that question at the end of public discussion.

256
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,000
And also, thank you for stating your address.

257
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,000
But we ask everyone who comes before the microphone to state your address.

258
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,000
Okay.

259
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,000
Does anyone else would like to come up?

260
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,000
Yes, ma'am.

261
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,000
So I do have noted the liquor within 500 feet.

262
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,000
We will address that.

263
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,000
Good afternoon.

264
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,000
My name is Miley Wise.

265
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,000
I am a almost 30 year resident of Shelby Township.

266
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:56,000
As well as the senior warden of said church that was mentioned in the previous.

267
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,000
I will do my best to say this eloquently.

268
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,000
But as this is my first time, I please ask that you have some grace.

269
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,000
You doing well?

270
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:07,000
As mentioned in the invocation by the fellow church in the room.

271
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:12,000
We like to foster the relationship between the township and the local churches.

272
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:19,000
One of the things that I was raised with was when you pray to God in your asking for things for God.

273
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,000
God does not give you those things.

274
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,000
He gives you opportunities.

275
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:27,000
And so I ask that this board take the opportunity to continue to foster that relationship.

276
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:33,000
And reviewing the sheets and everything that our neighbor is going through.

277
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,000
I have three main things that I'd like to cover.

278
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,000
First and foremost is our main concern.

279
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:47,000
The violation of MCL 436-150 denying of being within 500 feet of a church or school.

280
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:55,000
When I look it up on Google Maps from the center of our church to the farthest sidewalk is only 378 feet.

281
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:59,000
So we feel that even wherever you draw the line we fall well within that.

282
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:04,000
We also have three AA groups that routinely come to our church every week.

283
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:12,000
And we already have one location that is kind of a, you have to drive by and hope that they don't succumb to the voice.

284
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:18,000
And we have kids not just at her property, but at almost every single property that touches our lot.

285
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:27,000
The second thing is the excessive congestion and bottleneck due to the proximity of 22 mile in Van Dyke intersection.

286
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:33,000
We have questions about whether or not a traffic flow study has been done on the possible impact to the area.

287
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:40,000
Both the neighborhood are church St. Luke's as well as the intersection itself.

288
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:48,000
St. Luke asks access to our driveway will be severely impeded by the increase of traffic so close to the intersection.

289
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:55,000
Currently it is very difficult for us, especially coming westbound to access St. Luke's driveway during the afternoon work traffic.

290
00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:02,000
But also just in general because most people don't adhere to the, when you're supposed to turn in for the left hand turn lane.

291
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:08,000
We start getting into that left hand turn lane in front of our intersection.

292
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:17,000
We also are wondering if there was any consideration of the fact that there are five driveways less than 500 feet of that 22 mile intersection.

293
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:23,000
Immediately north and across from what is the proposed sheets entrance.

294
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:27,000
The USPS neighborhood as well as St. Luke's.

295
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:35,000
The third item on that is we're wondering if the police has evaluated potential increase on the traffic accident in the area.

296
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:44,000
The, for the Shelby Township Police Department as of today, there have been 27 accidents within the past 12 months at that intersection.

297
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:56,000
Lastly, additions of stop and go type businesses tend to bring along unchecked behaviors increase in loitering increase in littering and increasing crime near businesses not operating late into that night.

298
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,000
These are known issues for businesses who operate in this capacity.

299
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:05,000
Any additional, an additional sheet location was mentioned in a previous article about how this was the case for a gas station.

300
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:09,000
They took over and they were unable to guarantee that it would go away.

301
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:21,000
Without a need for an additional gas station, I'm not sure that it is worth adding the additional risk or sinking serious money into the property to build for minimal community gain.

302
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:25,000
Well, thank you very much. If this is your first time you should go on a public speaking.

303
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,000
Thank you very much.

304
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,000
Okay.

305
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,000
Who would like to anybody else tonight? Yes.

306
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,000
By the way, you know, you talked about our invocation.

307
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:39,000
The reason we have invocation is we invite God into our meeting to guide us.

308
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:44,000
And, which we absolutely need as guidance as we conduct the meetings. Yes sir, you can come up.

309
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:56,000
That's that is the reason for our invocation.

310
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,000
I could even even advise us to caucus and ladies and gentlemen aboard.

311
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:08,000
My name is Robert Meachek, 4802, Rimmer Avenue, Shelby Township, since January 1986.

312
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,000
I have enjoyed living here at the Green Community.

313
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,000
I also am concerned. I have with a couple of neighbors tonight.

314
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,000
Concern about the location of the proposed sheets.

315
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:23,000
I had some questions. I was not aware of the planning commission meeting.

316
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,000
That's my bed. I did speak to Mr. Fiori.

317
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:33,000
It was a very helpful answer to questions with regard to that issue and the proposal for that to be built there.

318
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,000
I wondered why it was three, three.

319
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:40,000
This is what was tied, which sent to you folks.

320
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,000
And I wondered why.

321
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,000
I heard, I understand some of the pros and cons.

322
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:50,000
And I understand with regard to the master plan that is not an area for that type of business.

323
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,000
It's a circle.

324
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,000
I understand what's given a waiver to that.

325
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,000
I'm being allowing them to locate across the street.

326
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,000
But two gas stations that I cornered.

327
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,000
I think it's just prohibitive.

328
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,000
The traffic just yesterday.

329
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,000
My wife and I went 22 mile to five o'clock.

330
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,000
I'm going up to Oxford to share grandkids.

331
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,000
And a traffic was backed up.

332
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,000
I mean, bumper to bumper from Van Lake all the way.

333
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:11,000
Shelby Road.

334
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,000
And this is never the occurrence.

335
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,000
As a former police officer,

336
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,000
I can see where that's going to lead to accidents.

337
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,000
Not only in a 22 increase, but also in Van Lake.

338
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:24,000
Also with regard to the issue, the lady before we mentioned with regard to crime,

339
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,000
having worked.

340
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,000
I work in the city of Oak Park for 26 years.

341
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,000
And we're located on eight mile.

342
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,000
And occasionally, businesses in that nature,

343
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:36,000
I'm not saying sheets, but can't attract crime.

344
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,000
And I'd say we're individuals because they have no place else to hang out at four o'clock in the morning.

345
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,000
Let's go to 711.

346
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:46,000
So I wanted to cheat, consider other locations within the township.

347
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,000
Shelby Township's a very large area.

348
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,000
Did they?

349
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,000
Are you aware?

350
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,000
Did they identify the locations they might consider in the township?

351
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:03,000
I believe I heard that they might be looking at the hall road and the card,

352
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,000
which I know is as a cone township.

353
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,000
We only know the one tonight.

354
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,000
Okay.

355
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:09,000
We're looking at it.

356
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,000
That's all we know.

357
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:11,000
Okay.

358
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,000
Do you know if they look at other locations in Shelby?

359
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,000
Because I really, I really feel that.

360
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:22,000
That's a terrible location with regard to traffic and potential for issues.

361
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,000
Also, I think with regard to residents being nearby,

362
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,000
and also facilities activities at church.

363
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,000
Additional lighting of this 24 hour operation.

364
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,000
Thank you.

365
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,000
They provide a lot of light at those businesses.

366
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:39,000
And that might provide a service of too much light, light light pollution,

367
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:43,000
possibly for nearby residents, anybody in that area.

368
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,000
And also, it's concerned about the impact of the businesses.

369
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,000
Again, the circle case across the street.

370
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,000
We've got a couple of gas stages.

371
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:52,000
Twenty-three in Van Dyke.

372
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:56,000
Farther South is a number of gas stations as well as party starts.

373
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,000
And I think this might impact them.

374
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,000
I don't know what sheets is.

375
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,000
Business model is, but I understand they want it.

376
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:06,000
Possibly 50 to 60 stations within the state of Michigan.

377
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,000
Yeah.

378
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,000
There's a representative from Sheets.

379
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,000
I look to ask them some questions.

380
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,000
Anybody here?

381
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,000
From Sheets?

382
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,000
You are?

383
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,000
I got some questions for you.

384
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,000
Okay.

385
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,000
All right.

386
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:17,000
Okay.

387
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:18,000
All right.

388
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,000
Thank you very much for your time.

389
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,000
I appreciate it.

390
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,000
Well, you thank you for coming.

391
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,000
Okay.

392
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,000
Is there anyone else?

393
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:25,000
Yes, sir.

394
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:38,000
How's everyone doing tonight?

395
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,000
My name is Dietrich.

396
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,000
I'm from the Clark gas station.

397
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:43,000
You're a resident.

398
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:44,000
I'm not a resident.

399
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,000
No.

400
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:50,000
My family's been in the community for maybe like four decades or so.

401
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,000
At the Clark gas station right down the street.

402
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,000
Okay.

403
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:56,000
46699 Van Dyke Avenue.

404
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,000
Shelby Township, Michigan.

405
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,000
So my family's been here for like a-

406
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:08,000
I said about four decades in the community. Just pressing on some concerns that Ben mentioned. I'm just going to press on them one more time.

407
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:16,000
This isn't just a gas station. I'm opposing this. I'm rezoning on this property. Sheets is trying to obtain.

408
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:28,000
It's a traffic nightmare. Environmental hazard, a crime magnet, and direct threat to our local businesses and property values sheets.

409
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:39,000
It doesn't care about our community. They care about their profits. More accidents, more pollution, more crime, less local businesses, lower home values, who wins not us.

410
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:46,000
We must stay together and stop this before it's too late. Shelby Township is not for sale. Not here, not now, not ever. Thank you, everyone.

411
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,000
Okay. Thank you very much. Anybody else?

412
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:57,000
Yes, ma'am. Sorry. I got to turn this way. I do apologize. Is there anybody behind here? No? Okay.

413
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,000
Good evening.

414
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:13,000
Faye Nummer with the MENA American Chamber of Commerce. We represent businesses who reside or located along the 22 mile Van Dyke corridor and throughout the city as well throughout the township.

415
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,000
I'm sorry. Which organization again, which chamber?

416
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:21,000
MENA American Chamber of Commerce, MENA stands for Middle East, North Africa.

417
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:37,000
Of course. So to answer the gentleman who preceded me, he mentioned he wasn't sure why the planning commission, whose decision you take into consideration as you come to a decision this evening.

418
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:41,000
He was wondering why that did not approve this proposal.

419
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:51,000
A motion was introduced by Commissioner Turner, supported by Cassali and the specific reasoning is the applicant has not demonstrated that the property can be developed.

420
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:58,000
Cannot be developed as it is currently zoned. So current zoning should be a should suffice for the proposal.

421
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:04,000
The proposed change in land use is not consistent with the Shelby Township master plan.

422
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:11,000
That's one of the key criteria that typically aboard of your stature would consider and approving such a proposal.

423
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:19,000
If it fits within the character of the community, the needs of the community, if there is a demonstrated need within the community.

424
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:28,000
The proposed use is not designated located planned and to be operated with a public health safety and welfare will be protected of the surrounding area.

425
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:39,000
I'll get to that bullet point in a second. The change in zoning is not out of scale with the needs of the community is out of scale with the needs of the community and the zoning ordinance.

426
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:44,000
And the proposed use of the site is for fueling station along with the drive through.

427
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:51,000
It is not consistent with the development pattern in this area of the township and will have an adverse effect.

428
00:32:51,000 --> 00:33:04,000
And the last bullet point that's cited by the planning commissioner is the special land use request is not affirmatively meet the standards in section 6.5 based upon these findings.

429
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:13,000
So one of the concerns that I have with this proposal outside of the planning commission not giving a concurrence or an approval to this body.

430
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:20,000
There's a lot of political influence that's leaning very heavily into the decision making tonight.

431
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:28,000
Often times you come to these board meetings and you wonder if the decision has already been made before you arrive.

432
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:38,000
And I hope that's not the case tonight. I realize the developers an influential member of this community that they may be utilizing their political influence.

433
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:50,000
This has retained three political lobbying firms three political lobbying firms in order to advance their mission throughout the municipalities.

434
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:59,000
They're looking to implement 60 to 80 gas stations throughout the tri-county area, which is already over saturated compared to national levels.

435
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:06,000
Attorney Peca has disclosed that he represents skill can go the petitioner on this proposal, which is a huge conflict of interest in my opinion.

436
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:10,000
If he's provided any type of legal opinion to this body.

437
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:14,000
And if you're utilizing that legal opinion to come to a decision this evening.

438
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:21,000
But respect to crime increase Gary Zimmerman, who is the vice president of sheets, appear before a congressional committee.

439
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:29,000
For a hearing the same time last year in Congress in DC to address the increasing crime rate at sheets gas stations.

440
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:47,000
And he acknowledged before Congress that the type and number of crime incidents of crime that sheets experience as a 24-7 operation selling alcohol is vastly different than other retailers in the similar space.

441
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:48,000
All right.

442
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,000
Thank you very much for coming in. We really do appreciate it.

443
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:56,000
You're going to be in trouble if you keep on going on.

444
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:00,000
I answered your question earlier, so I don't know if that took away from my time.

445
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,000
No, he gave you a few more seconds.

446
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:03,000
Go ahead.

447
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:04,000
Why don't you?

448
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:08,000
With some unanimous, unanimously rejected the proposal last evening.

449
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:15,000
So I hope you take into consideration neighboring municipalities and how they're responding to the entry.

450
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:16,000
The aggressive entry.

451
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,000
Thank you for wrapping that up. I do appreciate it.

452
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:19,000
Thank you.

453
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:31,000
Okay. Hey, I do want to say one thing about you. You said something about a lobby for no lobbyists contacted me about any of this, but I just want to reassure the public that if they're our lobbyists out there, they haven't contacted any of us.

454
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,000
So to my knowledge.

455
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:34,000
Yeah.

456
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:35,000
Okay.

457
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:36,000
Is there anybody else?

458
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,000
Yes, ma'am.

459
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,000
Patiently waiting.

460
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,000
Thank you.

461
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,000
Is there anyone else after her?

462
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:46,000
Okay.

463
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:52,000
So then you will be the last one.

464
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,000
Okay. What's the planning on talking?

465
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,000
So I only have like three points.

466
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:57,000
My name's Elise.

467
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,000
I live on.

468
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,000
I live on.

469
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,000
I'll be.

470
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:02,000
Yep.

471
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,000
So the traffic there is terrible.

472
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,000
Anyways, people going and they speed down.

473
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,000
Oriole to come up.

474
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,000
Roshalbach or over to powers to fly back to Van Dyke.

475
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,000
Kids cannot walk after school.

476
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:15,000
We don't have sidewalks.

477
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:20,000
The cars are flying already because they don't want to stop at 22 in Van Dyke.

478
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,000
I think it's just going to make it a lot worse.

479
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,000
We got little ones in the neighborhood.

480
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,000
They can't be out there.

481
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:26,000
The cars are going too fast.

482
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,000
A half contacted the police department.

483
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:29,000
They have come out.

484
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,000
They can't sit on our streets all day either though.

485
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,000
They have more important things to do.

486
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,000
The accidents at 22 in Van Dyke are just going to get worse.

487
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:41,000
There's been multiple accidents that I've seen or they've almost happened.

488
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:43,000
Right at circle.

489
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,000
People turning in there.

490
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,000
If we have one across the street, it's just going to get worse.

491
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:51,000
I don't know how she lives next to us with a stress because it's really bad there.

492
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,000
Like I said, I'm back in the neighborhood.

493
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,000
In the cars are flying.

494
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,000
So that's all I have to say.

495
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:58,000
Thank you very much.

496
00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:59,000
No one else.

497
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:00,000
Okay.

498
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,000
Oh yeah.

499
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:02,000
Come on.

500
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,000
Sure.

501
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,000
Never too late.

502
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,000
You did cut that kind of close.

503
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:10,000
How much is on 541 with my showdowns?

504
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,000
Just one or a second or third or whatever they say.

505
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:14,000
And that is that one question.

506
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,000
There's a gas station, a 24-room show.

507
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:17,000
We've got a liquor store.

508
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:21,000
And it's like, a 500 feet of the Great School right there.

509
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:22,000
You're from England with that one.

510
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,000
I don't know how to get away with that.

511
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,000
Is that too close or?

512
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:27,000
We'll discuss that.

513
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:28,000
Thank you.

514
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,000
Thank you.

515
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:30,000
Okay.

516
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:31,000
Anybody else?

517
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:32,000
Okay.

518
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:33,000
We're bringing up to the board.

519
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:34,000
And our plan is here.

520
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:35,000
Mrs. Julie, Missy.

521
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:36,000
Julie Missage?

522
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,000
Oh, I'm sorry.

523
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,000
We're going to have to know how to put the sign up.

524
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,000
That's right.

525
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,000
The appeal for free information.

526
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:46,000
Okay.

527
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,000
I just want to reassure you.

528
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:48,000
I did write down your questions.

529
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,000
When we're done with this next item, we will address these.

530
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,000
Okay.

531
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:53,000
Thank you.

532
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:54,000
Okay.

533
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:58,000
So, Board, this first item, thank you, Mr. Houth, is an appeal that has a

534
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:03,000
risen as a result of a response by a free information act director.

535
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,000
This is Lisa Souda.

536
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,000
Mr. Houth and Mrs. Souda.

537
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:11,000
I would ask you to, Mr. Houth, if you want to lead this discussion, tell us what

538
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:12,000
this is all about.

539
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,000
Yes, again, Mr. Supervisor.

540
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:24,000
The Township Police Department and Response Freedom of Information Act Coordinator have

541
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:30,000
absolutely, in my opinion, been harassed by Mr. Daniel Alten.

542
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:35,000
Mr. Alten has so far this year, a propounded 33 free

543
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,000
Freedom of Information Act requested a township.

544
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:43,000
His outstanding fees are over $2,000 that are unpaid.

545
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:48,000
The contacts with the Police Department are daily and trying to get

546
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,000
individuals to respond to him.

547
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:56,000
There's been issues aside from that regarding prosecutions and

548
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:57,000
such.

549
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:01,000
I'm going to ask you to consider two items for your agenda tonight.

550
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:06,000
First, Mr. Alten is now filed in appeal, because he doesn't want to pay

551
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:10,000
a deposit on his last Freedom of Information Act requested.

552
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:11,000
Thank you.

553
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:15,000
There have been 33 this year.

554
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:20,000
And this last one on loan, the concept will have to spend over $1,800

555
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:24,000
chasing down his information and we have to put it into it.

556
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:29,000
So we're asking him to pay a deposit as opposed to having people run around

557
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,000
and him that pay a deposit.

558
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:36,000
So Mr. Alten, if you're here, this is your opportunity,

559
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:40,000
pursuant to the statute you raised to address the Board and to respond to

560
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:45,000
the things that I've said.

561
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:46,000
Can I ask you a question?

562
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:52,000
If somebody orders a Freedom of Information Act, why don't they have to pay?

563
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:56,000
Well, typically these things come from our residents and they ask once in a

564
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:57,000
career.

565
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,000
Yes.

566
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,000
We try to respond together what they need.

567
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,000
Maybe they're doing a history check on some property they're looking at or

568
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:04,000
things like that.

569
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:08,000
So the township has had a policy of trying to cooperate.

570
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,000
What's happened is somebody that's taken advantage of it and says they

571
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,000
will pay and then don't.

572
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,000
And then threaten appeals and different other things and

573
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,000
continue to call.

574
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,000
So this person is escalated to this level.

575
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,000
Our problem is it's going to get to the second request.

576
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:30,000
If the Board votes to deny this appeal, I think that we should take action to see

577
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:36,000
a circuit court and junction to prohibit him from continuing to contact and harass

578
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,000
members of our police department and members of our building staff.

579
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,000
That'll be the second request.

580
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:42,000
Okay.

581
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,000
Another question is.

582
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:48,000
So if he's not paying this, are you saying the taxpayers are on a hook for the

583
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:52,000
$2,000 outstanding bill and possibly another $1,800 bill?

584
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,000
Well, the nice thing is with this one.

585
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:59,000
Yes, I don't know for the previous ones, but with this one, we chose not to get started

586
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,000
chasing down documents until he put a deposit in.

587
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,000
And when we ask for deposit, if I'll then appeal.

588
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:06,000
Okay.

589
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:07,000
Okay.

590
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,000
So right now, we certainly don't have this in budget.

591
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,000
So this would be an extra curricular.

592
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:16,000
So I answer questions from the Board members that I'm asking for

593
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:21,000
motion to deny the Freedom of Information Act appeal as presented by Mr. Daniel

594
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:22,000
Alton.

595
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:23,000
Members.

596
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:27,000
Move you'd concur with the recommendation of human resources director.

597
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:35,000
Lisa suit up and uphold the fees related to the FOIA request 20 January and 41 by Daniel

598
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:40,000
Alden and deny the appeal.

599
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:41,000
Motion to be.

600
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:46,000
The appeal in seconded by Mr. Latvia, the sequel.

601
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,000
And is there any other questions?

602
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:53,000
Are there any other questions or comments before we take a roll call vote?

603
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:54,000
Okay.

604
00:41:54,000 --> 00:42:00,000
You know, I guess I was not aware that we have an outstanding $2,000 bill and a potential $1,800.

605
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,000
This is all adding up.

606
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,000
And it is not in our budget.

607
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,000
So nor should it be.

608
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:08,000
Okay.

609
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,000
Roll call vote, please.

610
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:12,000
Yes.

611
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:13,000
Lucia de Sico.

612
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:14,000
Yes.

613
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:15,000
Stanley Grord.

614
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:16,000
Yes.

615
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:17,000
Rick Staphickus.

616
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:18,000
Jim Carabelli.

617
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:19,000
And Lisa Cassali.

618
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:20,000
Yes.

619
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,000
Vince Viviano is absent in excuse.

620
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:23,000
Okay.

621
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:24,000
Social unanimous.

622
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:25,000
It passes.

623
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,000
So go ahead with your second question.

624
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,000
I can't remember.

625
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,000
Thank you all enough to serve here 25 years.

626
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:32,000
Never have asked for this in the past.

627
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,000
I've always worked these things out.

628
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:38,000
Just not getting that to that place with this individual.

629
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:43,000
I'm asking for board authorization to seek a circuit court and assumption prohibiting

630
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:51,000
Mr. Alton from continuing to communicate for a request with the township.

631
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:52,000
Motion, please.

632
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:53,000
Mr. Supervisor.

633
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:58,000
I will make the motion to concur with the recommendation to seek a circuit court in

634
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:04,000
Junction to prevent Daniel Alton from continuing to harass the department.

635
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,000
Motion made by Mr. Sico.

636
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,000
Seconded by Mr. Carabelli.

637
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:09,000
Any further discussion?

638
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,000
Or questions?

639
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,000
Roll call, vote, please.

640
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,000
Mr. Sico.

641
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:17,000
Yes.

642
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:18,000
Jim Carabelli.

643
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:19,000
Lisa Cassali.

644
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:20,000
Yes.

645
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,000
Stanley Grord. Yes. Rick Staphickus.

646
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:23,000
Yes.

647
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:24,000
John Remeland.

648
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:25,000
Yes.

649
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:26,000
Vince Viviano.

650
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:27,000
Excuse.

651
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:28,000
Thank you very much, Board.

652
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,000
Thank you, Mr. Root.

653
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,000
Okay. Next we will go to the first item.

654
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:37,000
And this would be the, let's see here.

655
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,000
This would be our plane director.

656
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,000
We'll provide some background information.

657
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,000
It would be the sheets.

658
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:48,000
So, why don't we ask the presenters to come up from sheets.

659
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:53,000
And if you have a presentation, now would be the time.

660
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:56,000
And then I'll get to your questions everybody.

661
00:43:56,000 --> 00:44:01,000
Or he'll actually, I'll just give you the questions when you're done with your presentation.

662
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:02,000
Question for the audience.

663
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:03,000
Thank you very much.

664
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:07,000
Good evening members of the Shelby Township Board of Trustees.

665
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:08,000
Thank you for having me here tonight.

666
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,000
My name is David Brucklemeyer with sheets.

667
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:13,000
My address is 3,900 West 12-mile road.

668
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:14,000
Farmington Hills, Michigan.

669
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,000
We're excited to present this tonight.

670
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:17,000
I would like to take a moment.

671
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:18,000
We haven't been in front of you before.

672
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:21,000
I'd like to take a moment and just go through a little bit about who sheets

673
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:24,000
as before we get into some of the site specifics and some of the questions

674
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:27,000
that have been asked here tonight.

675
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,000
A little bit about sheets.

676
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:32,000
So sheets started in 1952.

677
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:36,000
Bob sheets went to his dad with his life savings and bought his corner dairy

678
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:37,000
Deli store.

679
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,000
You can see it there in the picture.

680
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,000
So we really have humble beginnings in the grocery,

681
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:44,000
Deli carry out business.

682
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:48,000
So truly this started as a humble family owned business.

683
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,000
Once one shop, it's incredible.

684
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:53,000
It's grown into today, which is 780 plus locations.

685
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:58,000
Still family owned and family operated to this day.

686
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,000
There are 16 members of the sheet.

687
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:10,000
All these families that are involved in making decisions, you know, from top-top down operations real estate, all those things in fact, I report to a sheet's family member.

688
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:18,000
So they truly are still family owned, family operated and they're really caring about the business on a day-to-day basis.

689
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:24,000
We'd like to go into a little bit about the sheets experience and what it really looks like more than just seeing lines on paper, right?

690
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:28,500
So what you're looking at here on the left is the interior seating that we have.

691
00:45:28,500 --> 00:45:32,500
We have 30 interior seats for our 24-7 restaurant that's full service.

692
00:45:32,500 --> 00:45:38,500
So we have full made-to-order food offerings, food to go, things like cut-up vegetables,

693
00:45:38,500 --> 00:45:42,000
cut-up fruits, nice, healthy things, salads, and you can also get a burger and fries

694
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:43,000
if you'd like something like that.

695
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:47,000
It's an incredible 1.8 million item menu.

696
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,000
So you can have 1.8 million combinations.

697
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:50,000
It's pretty incredible.

698
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:53,000
On the right, you can see our touch screen order points.

699
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,000
It's something we pioneered within the industry.

700
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:56,000
It's something very unique.

701
00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:01,000
And it's something that's very convenient for our customers coming into the restaurant.

702
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,000
A little bit about our building.

703
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:04,000
And what do we look like?

704
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,000
You know, we're a premium 1-stop shop.

705
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,000
And we show that with our architecture.

706
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,000
We have best in-class-looking buildings.

707
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:13,000
We have full section brick and stone, metal awnings,

708
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:18,000
and just a great-looking, well put together building with good lighting,

709
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,000
and a nice decorative look to it.

710
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,000
We include outdoor dining for people that want to come out

711
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,000
and enjoy a meal outside.

712
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:29,000
So 16 outdoor dining seats are proposed for this location.

713
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,000
And again, just highlighting the high-quality materials.

714
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,000
brick pavers around all of our buildings.

715
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:36,000
Zero-variure entry around all of it.

716
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:41,000
It's a great premium look and a great offer for an architectural package.

717
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:47,000
This particular site would represent an $8.5 million local investment

718
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:53,000
with 30 to 35 full-time positions that would be provided by this location.

719
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:58,000
Lots of local consultants, contractors, increased tax assessments.

720
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:01,000
All of those things add up as well as all of our charitable givings.

721
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,000
A couple of examples of that.

722
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:07,000
Sheets for the kids is an organization that was started by Sheets employees.

723
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:12,000
And we donate to 16 local kids from every store.

724
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:17,000
It's 1,500 kids a year that get a great Christmas donated to them.

725
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,000
It's an incredible organization.

726
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:23,000
And 1,500 is a pretty awesome number to be able to talk about.

727
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:28,000
In addition to that, we donate two local food banks and special Olympics on every level.

728
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:32,000
You know, local, national, and the state level.

729
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:37,000
In addition to that, every year, our locations have a budget to donate locally at their discretion.

730
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:40,000
So things like tea ball teams and things of that nature.

731
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:45,000
We always give back to the community in that way.

732
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:49,000
A couple of things about taking care of our family, our employees.

733
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:54,000
Sheets offers an incredible number of benefits.

734
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:58,000
Health, vision, dental, 401k, paid time off, parental leave.

735
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,000
The list continues to go on and on.

736
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:04,000
It's an incredible array of benefits that are very, very affordable for our employees.

737
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:08,000
And again, those are offered to all of our full-time employees.

738
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:11,000
How do we prove that we take care of our employees?

739
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,000
How can we provide some evidence of that?

740
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:19,000
I'd like to talk about a little bit of the awards we've won that are honestly granted to us by our employees.

741
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:23,000
They're the ones that get the vote on these kind of, these awards and accolades.

742
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:28,000
And what I'd like to point out is that we rank number two in the nation's retailers.

743
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,000
Best companies to work for.

744
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,000
That's something that we're really proud of.

745
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:37,000
It's something that just shows that our employees love where they work and they feel that they're treated very well.

746
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:44,000
With that, I'd like to get into the specifics of the site tonight.

747
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:47,000
Again, we're requesting a conditional rezoning in special land.

748
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,000
You see approval for this site.

749
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:57,000
It features a 61-32 square foot restaurant convenience store with associated fuel at 22 and Bandaiq.

750
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:00,000
This is 1.61 developed acres.

751
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:06,000
Again, 61-32 foot square foot restaurant in convenience store with five fuel pumps, ten total locations

752
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:10,000
to fuel.

753
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:18,000
As you can see here on the site plane, we've got our five fueling pump islands located to the north of the site with the convenience store restaurant located to the south

754
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:25,000
and access points on the north and east locations.

755
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:31,000
This is the elevation you'll be looking at if you look at the top elevation that would be facing north towards 22 mile.

756
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:38,000
And then if you look at the bottom elevation that would be facing east towards Bandaiq.

757
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:41,000
A little bit more of what it would look like from the real view.

758
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:42,000
What would this look like in real life?

759
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:45,000
This takes into account our landscaping plan in our architectural package.

760
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:50,000
This is looking southwest at the location of the bird's eye view.

761
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:54,000
We take a lot of pride in all of our landscaping, all of it's irrigated.

762
00:49:54,000 --> 00:50:00,000
You can see it's very healthy, good-looking landscaping package in our architectural package.

763
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:06,000
And again with that, I'd like to answer any questions you have.

764
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:09,000
I know that I have a few questions I'm going to give it to you through here tonight.

765
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:14,000
I'd like to just start out with the one that was probably mentioned that most frequently tonight is traffic.

766
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:17,000
That is something that we have taken some time to address and evaluate.

767
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:19,000
We have done a full traffic study.

768
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:25,000
It has been reviewed by the McCone County Department of Roads as well as Shelby Township staff.

769
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:28,000
It does a couple of things about this.

770
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:32,000
The intersection currently operates at a level of service E.

771
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,000
So there is already a lot of existing traffic out there.

772
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:35,000
We do understand that.

773
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:42,000
One of the things that is contemplated in this study though is that we take 76% of pass by traffic.

774
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:45,000
And what that means is, you know, sewing is coming along the road.

775
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:49,000
There are already on the road and they take a right into our site and a right out.

776
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:51,000
That's really common.

777
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,000
That's something that's reflected in traffic studies.

778
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:57,000
Not just here in South East Michigan, but around the country as well.

779
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:58,000
It's just human nature.

780
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:01,000
You know, if you've got a convenience store on the right side of the road,

781
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:04,000
it makes a lot more sense to go right than it makes to go left.

782
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:06,000
And that's something about the industry.

783
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:09,000
And it's just something that's taken into account their traffic studies.

784
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:14,000
There was also some concerns about locations of access drives and things like that for other residents and neighbors.

785
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:18,000
That is taken into the traffic study.

786
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:23,000
You know, another thing I'd like to point out is that we've taken a look at our plans.

787
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:27,000
And we are going to very clearly delineate, you know, the location of our driveway.

788
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,000
I know that was a concern at planning commission.

789
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:34,000
You know, we're going to have new curbing and a new wider drive aisle that looks commercial.

790
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:36,000
It's going to have our signage out on the corner.

791
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:41,000
It's going to look like it belongs on a commercial corridor and not so much for a resident at all.

792
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:45,000
So we have taken that into account tonight.

793
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:50,000
One of the other things I'm hearing is is a concern about crime that's very understandable.

794
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:52,000
We do a lot of background research.

795
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:56,000
We do a lot of safety studies before we even look at a site and go into contract.

796
00:51:56,000 --> 00:52:05,000
So we go and take a look at it and we think, you know, would we let our kids or our mom come to this location and work or come in and stop and be a customer at night.

797
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:06,000
Would we feel good about that?

798
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:09,000
We feel very confident at this location that the answer is yes.

799
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:14,000
So we do that kind of gut check early on and we take a look at a safety study.

800
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:19,000
In addition to that, you know, we provide a state-of-the-art security system.

801
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:23,000
That is monitored 24-7 by sheets and employees back in Central Pennsylvania.

802
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,000
That's something that's industry-leading.

803
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:28,000
It's really the cutting edge in the convenience store industry.

804
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:30,000
It's not offered anywhere else.

805
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:34,000
You know, we also work with local police departments.

806
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:37,000
We create local resources and local relationships.

807
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:41,000
That really works out well and we work hand in hand with law enforcement.

808
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:46,000
We will turn over any kind of video to any authority with power of arrests.

809
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:51,000
So we routinely work with police departments and local enforcement agencies.

810
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:57,000
Another thing we've heard in ideas, you know, some concerned about our competition.

811
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:03,000
Something I'd like to point out, there's competition everywhere in this type of industry around the entire country.

812
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:09,000
There's not uncommon to go to any corner on a commercial area in a city.

813
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:13,000
And see two or three convenience stores on a corner.

814
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:18,000
It's really not uncommon in their all thriving and they're all creating a good sense of competition.

815
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:21,000
We're excited to offer that here in Shelby Township.

816
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:26,000
With that, I'd be happy to answer any other major questions you might have tonight.

817
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:27,000
Yeah, if I could.

818
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:31,000
There's a question from the floor about 24-7 lighting.

819
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:32,000
Correct.

820
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:38,000
I think one lady who lives near there was a concern that it might be too much of a glare.

821
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:45,000
Absolutely, so we do meet all of the lighting requirements for the Shelby Township code.

822
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:49,000
What that really means is first off we've got buffering between our site and our neighbors.

823
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:52,000
We do understand that there is a residence over there.

824
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:59,000
So if you can see on this picture here, we have provided substantial buffering on the west side of our site to account for that.

825
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:02,000
That's the first line of defense rate.

826
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:05,000
The other things that we do is we have only down lighting.

827
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:11,000
So that means there's no flood light any kind pointing out over to our neighbors properties.

828
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:13,000
That really helps protect them.

829
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:19,000
In addition to that, when we're up against residences, we do put shielding on the lights to make sure that you can't look up and see glare.

830
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:26,000
So we do take several things into account, including landscaping, down lights, and light shielding in order to accommodate for that.

831
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:32,000
The other question, or a couple people, we're a little concerned about the liquor within 500 feet of the church.

832
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:39,000
And I guess I would say that if you were 499 feet, the liquor control commissioner would shut you down.

833
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,000
I think they do regulate that.

834
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:42,000
Do they not?

835
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:43,000
They do regulate that.

836
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:47,000
We will not be able to sell beer wine or liquor here if it's against state regulations.

837
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:48,000
Okay.

838
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:49,000
You will not have any liquor.

839
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:53,000
If it's against state regulations, we will not be able to sell liquor or any kind of alcohol.

840
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:57,000
But if you have it, it would obviously fit the rule of 500 feet or more.

841
00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:00,000
I don't think we can fit that rule here.

842
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:03,000
So I don't think we can be able to have that against against state law.

843
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:09,000
Another question was, well, this would be for a plan or about the master plan, and I'll ask her that.

844
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:12,000
Board members, any other questions?

845
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:15,000
I think you covered it all.

846
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:16,000
I don't know.

847
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,000
I don't know if it's a plan or something.

848
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:19,000
I don't know.

849
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:21,000
You can ask him or do you, whoever.

850
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,000
She's coming up right now.

851
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:24,000
This message.

852
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:25,000
Can you come up?

853
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:26,000
Thank you.

854
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:29,000
Thank you very much.

855
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:32,000
Julie misses your planning director.

856
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:35,000
Mr. Chair, Belly.

857
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:37,000
Yes, thank you, Mr. Chairman.

858
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:39,000
I'm looking at 22 mile road.

859
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:49,000
By looking at the trends, is it showing that you can only head east out of the gas station on 20.

860
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:52,000
You can't go towards the residential towards the church.

861
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:53,000
Is it?

862
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:54,000
That is correct.

863
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:57,000
I believe that is why the driveway was widened.

864
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:00,000
It is just a right hand turn out.

865
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:01,000
I'm 22.

866
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:02,000
Is that correct?

867
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:03,000
Is that the way?

868
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:04,000
Yes.

869
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:05,000
I'm 22.

870
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:08,000
There's a question from the floor about the master plan.

871
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:10,000
Does this fit the master plan?

872
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,000
It sure does Mr. Supervisor.

873
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:15,000
It is a commercial area of the township.

874
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:24,000
If you circle K back in 2016 and 17, we rezone that property as well from C1 and R2, which is

875
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:28,000
small to do plaques to C2 with especially in use.

876
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:33,000
They were also granted circle K was in the similar situation and was granted the C2 zoning ordinance.

877
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:36,000
So it is consistent with our master plan.

878
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:39,000
I think there's next question I can answer about the planning commission.

879
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:44,000
The reason I couldn't approve it or not approve it is because we're only six members present.

880
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:45,000
And there are nine members on board.

881
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:49,000
That doesn't happen very often, but three were out of town or something.

882
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:51,000
So it ended up being a three three time.

883
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:52,000
That's correct.

884
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:53,000
Okay.

885
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:54,000
I think that's it.

886
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:55,000
I miss anything.

887
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:58,000
I think I answered all the questions from the floor.

888
00:56:58,000 --> 00:56:59,000
Miss message.

889
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:01,000
Would you like to add anything?

890
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:02,000
Sure.

891
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,000
I can't.

892
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:05,000
I can't.

893
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:06,000
I'm sorry.

894
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:09,000
I can't know that we are equals the discussion.

895
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:14,000
But at the end of the meeting, you can come up and ask if you want to do that.

896
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:18,000
But once we shut down the discussion, we can't go back to the floor.

897
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:21,000
I just wanted to know if there was a question I missed.

898
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:22,000
That's why I wanted to know.

899
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:23,000
Miss message.

900
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:25,000
You want to add anything?

901
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:29,400
The only other items that I wanted to mention is that the applicant has met all the special

902
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:32,000
and you standards.

903
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:37,000
As you know, the corner this property was a blighted property for a significant amount of time.

904
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:40,000
As was the northeast corner where circle K was.

905
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:45,000
So I mean, this is a portion of the township that is, you know, redevelopment.

906
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:50,000
A lot of those buildings up and down Van Dyke in that particular area.

907
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:58,000
You know, some are tired and, you know, this was a site that we had pushed forward and move forward

908
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:02,000
to, if you recall, this was an office building and there was a daycare center in that building.

909
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:07,000
And it was pretty well-due-lavitated and considered blight by the township.

910
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:14,000
So we moved forward and had with our code enforcement department and encouraged the owner to

911
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:18,000
demolish the building and we ended up with a vacant lot.

912
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:23,000
I just wanted to note that as well, the site plan meets all zoning ordinance requirements.

913
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:26,000
No variances are required.

914
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:33,000
And with that, just wanted also to note this is no different than any other fueling station in the township.

915
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:41,000
Over the years, the fueling stations were consisted of mechanical shops in different items that has kind of changed.

916
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:48,000
Fueling stations came in with convenience stores and now they're adding restaurants to them.

917
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:56,000
So this is no different than any fueling station that we've approved in the township before such as 23 mile in Van Dyke.

918
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:59,000
The pit stop that's on the southwest corner.

919
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:05,000
Same type of concept, same as any other gas station in fueling station.

920
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:08,000
We've approved in the township before.

921
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:10,000
I mean, no, I do have a question.

922
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:13,000
Sir, if you could come back up, come sheets.

923
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:14,000
There.

924
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:18,000
How much percentage wise, and if you can't give this information, that's okay.

925
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:19,000
But I'm just curious.

926
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:26,000
In terms of gross money, how much does fuel account for mean or gross sales?

927
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:28,000
If you can't give it to me, that's okay.

928
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:29,000
And I'm just asking for a percent.

929
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:30,000
I'm just curious.

930
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:34,000
I probably could not speak that tonight with any kind of accuracy.

931
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:37,000
I'm looking at food consumer package goods and what have you.

932
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:42,000
It seems like a wide variety of as with all the gas stations now.

933
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:46,000
They have dunking donuts and all kinds of things that we never had before.

934
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:47,000
Yeah.

935
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:50,000
What I would like to say is that we are very heavily restaurant focused.

936
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:57,000
Like I said earlier, sheets started as a restaurant, dairy, carryout, a convenience store that had all of those amenities.

937
00:59:57,000 --> 01:00:00,000
And that's something that we continue to hold.

938
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:12,000
Today, we really watch our insights sales. It's very important to us. In fact, we look at our fuel stations and we're looking at the future and eventually EV is going to be a much larger offer.

939
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:19,000
So we're looking at our gas margins and assuming that they're not there, we're working on operating our businesses if it's not.

940
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:28,000
That's how good our restaurant is. People come in and enjoy meal. So we are very heavily focused on that inside sales, so we continue to do that today.

941
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:35,000
Okay, thank you. Any questions from the board? Shall we?

942
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:43,000
As you know, I sit on that planning commission and I was one of the members that denied your petition.

943
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:52,000
And I think as we, as we sit here tonight, we have to remember as board members, we have very few vacant parcels left in our township.

944
01:00:52,000 --> 01:01:00,000
We have to take deep consideration when we are asked to resume in a case like this and what the fit is for the community.

945
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:06,000
So just I will not be in favor of this this evening for the rezoning.

946
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:11,000
Okay.

947
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:13,000
Anyone else?

948
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:21,000
Mr. Supervisor, I'll just comment. I live at 22 in Shainers, so I drive on 22 mile multiple times a day.

949
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:36,000
And I will say that, you know, listening to everything with the traffic and the congestion, I do think that there is something to be said about being able to turn in right to a gas station that's convenient and the way you're traveling.

950
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:44,000
I think that that is something that could alleviate a lot of traffic and congestion that we're seeing is somebody that lives are like, I can't get gas.

951
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:51,000
And I live there because it's too hard to come out and make a left hand turn. So just with the way it is now.

952
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:59,000
I'm of the mind, maybe a little bit more optimistic, but it might be an asset and actually relieve some of that congestion.

953
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:00,000
Okay, thank you.

954
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:09,000
By the way, no applause please for either viewpoint because we just don't do that and I'll get phone calls if you do that. Thank you.

955
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:16,000
Please call the police department and I ask people at the police department how how dangerous is this intersection.

956
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:19,000
And I always told it's no more dangerous than any other intersection.

957
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:22,000
Okay.

958
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:26,000
Other questions, discussion?

959
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:33,000
You know, I just want to say, as you look at the top 10 priorities of Shelby Township on the wall.

960
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:44,000
Anyway, we do this every year. Since 2010, 2009 actually, what we do is on a website, we put out, actually miss missage coordinates this.

961
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:50,000
People tell us how they want their money spent. They tell us how they want our budget to be prioritized.

962
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:56,000
And this actually is our roadmap as to how we spend our money. We take this really seriously.

963
01:02:56,000 --> 01:03:00,000
And we get about a thousand people every year that responded, which we had more.

964
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:08,000
But I don't know if anywhere in Michigan where you can actually tell your board how you want your money spent, and it's actually on the wall 12 months out of the year.

965
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:12,000
And as you can see, number one is blight, blight enforcement.

966
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:19,000
And this is about the third year, I think, that blight has been number one or two under top 10 priorities.

967
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:24,000
Now, why do I bring that on that corner on 22 mile in Van Dyke?

968
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:30,000
I've been a resident here in Shelby Township for more than 25 years, and it's been blight.

969
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:37,000
And I know that some business people have tried some things that didn't work, and it's just not a good looking corner.

970
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:43,000
And it's not because people have not put forth effort. There have been some business people trying to make a go of that.

971
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:53,000
But now we're, you know, somebody who actually wants to come in and spend $8.5 million on that corner, which right now is blight.

972
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:57,000
It would be really hard for me to say no to that.

973
01:03:57,000 --> 01:04:06,000
So whether I like gas stations or not, I'm going to vote for this because we got $8.5 million to fix that corner.

974
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:09,000
And I think it's really, really important for Shelby Township.

975
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:17,000
And quite frankly, I do like what I see, but I'm not here to tell you I'm a fan or not a fan of this gas station or that gas station.

976
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:26,000
I'm just looking out for the people at Shelby Township, and I think this to see go brings up a good point too about turning right in and turning it right out.

977
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:29,000
And hopefully that will help traffic.

978
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:32,000

01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:41,000

I don't pick anybody.

1015
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:31,000
I don't pick anybody.

1016
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:35,000
I don't pick anybody.

1017
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:37,000
I don't pick anybody.

1018
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:39,000
I don't pick anybody.

1019
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:42,000
I didn't really get that question.

1020
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:44,000
I can't.

1021
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:49,000
This, Mitch Pequett was a, associated at our firm that has done work in the, for

1022
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:55,000
Silken and he disclosed that to the Planning Commission.

1023
01:06:55,000 --> 01:07:02,840
any commission. I have not done any work for that entity. We have not advised this entity

1024
01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:08,040
anything to do with Shelby Township. We represent Shelby Township only and just pursuant

1025
01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:12,120
to the rules of professional conduct. He disclosed that at the Planning Commission meeting.

1026
01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:17,640
Well, they do want to see one thing. If anybody out there is listening, don't call please,

1027
01:07:17,640 --> 01:07:22,920
it was my mistake. I did make a question too. I asked everybody if there was something I missed.

1028
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:29,320
So you did, I did miss that question. I do apologize. But it's very highly out of order to take

1029
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:33,960
questions after we've gone as far. But I hope we've answered your question. Thank you very much.

1030
01:07:34,760 --> 01:07:38,600
Okay. Let's do a real call, vote please. John Brimillan. Yes.

1031
01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:44,680
Lucia de Sico. Yes. Jim Carabelle. Hi. Lisa Casali. No.

1034
01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:09,880
Okay. Our second item. Miss message if you want to just maybe hold off for a couple minutes.

1035
01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:14,920
Oh, I thought we had a big audience here. They're all leaving us.

1036
01:08:16,120 --> 01:08:22,360
It just so, you know, we do have a meeting on a first and third Tuesday every month in minus a couple

1037
01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:26,680
holidays and what have you. So you're invited. You're invited back. Thank you.

1038
01:08:26,920 --> 01:08:43,000
Okay. Miss message. Thank you. Supervisor. The next item for your consideration is St. John's Viani Catholic Church

1039
01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:50,520
that is located on Shainer Road. The Church is proposing a new multi-purpose building in

1040
01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:56,520
adoration chapel along with addition of parking spaces, a driveway on the north side of the

1041
01:08:56,520 --> 01:09:03,480
facility. The Church facility, a playground and landscaping as well. The planning commission

1042
01:09:03,480 --> 01:09:08,120
heard this at their October 4th meeting where it was postponed because of some residents' comments.

1043
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:13,080
The applicant took those comments back, revised the plan and appeared before the planning commission

1044
01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:17,960
on February 10th of this year where it was approved by the Planning Commission.

1045
01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:26,360
They meet the Church facilities and the degree of modification will require special

1046
01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:32,360
land use in the residential district. They have met all the special land use zoning districts standards

1047
01:09:33,480 --> 01:09:38,760
and they meet all the site plan comments as well.

1048
01:09:43,080 --> 01:09:47,320
Many discussion questions. I'll take a motion. Make a motion. Sure. Go ahead.

1049
01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:51,480
First you concur with the recommendation of planning commission in a proof site,

1050
01:09:52,040 --> 01:10:00,440
land special land use, number 24-26, James Grove, San John Viani Catholic Church,

on a west side of Shainer Road, multi-purpose building and other nation chapel,

1053
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:26,600
the applicant has met the standards in zoning ordinance, including section 6.5,

1054
01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:33,160
special land use standard and section 4.4, churches and private schools,

01:10:46,440 --> 01:10:55,400

1058
01:10:55,400 --> 01:11:00,200
seconded by Mr. Carebelly, any discussion? Mr. Chairman. Yeah.

1059
01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:03,720
I want to thank San John Viani. That's our voting location there.

1060
01:11:03,800 --> 01:11:09,960
Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thanks for coming in. Once in a while we do our

1061
01:11:09,960 --> 01:11:14,120
invocation, we appreciate that too. I know how busy everybody is and you always make time for that.

1062
01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:19,880
Thank you very much. By the way, before we vote, I want to give you equal time so if you have W polls,

1063
01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:26,520
you also have a fish fry on friday, starting this coming friday. Okay.

1064
01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:33,560
Yeah, how much? And when does it start? 14 or 15 depending on how much you, it's worth?

1065
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:39,160
Now you're going to give us a trouble.

1066
01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:44,760
Because either way we're going to give you a trouble. So what kind of fish is that? I'm just kidding.

1067
01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:49,080
Yeah. Okay. Anyway. Well, I'm sorry I went there. Okay. A real call vote please.

1068
01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:55,480
Oh, Stanley grotes. Yes. Jim Caraballi. Hi. Lisa Cassali. Yes.

1069
01:11:55,480 --> 01:12:01,400
Michelle Disicle. Yes. Rick Stalfick. Yes. John Rebellion. Yes. And Vince Viviano Excuse.

1070
01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:09,640
Okay. Thank you very much. Yeah. Thank you. Okay. Number three. Okay. Number three is

1071
01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:16,280
requests for a rezoning, a straight rezoning for a percol parcel that is 5.8 acres on the north side of

1072
01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:20,920
22 miles just west of Shayna Road. This parcel is right in front of the mobile home park.

1073
01:12:22,440 --> 01:12:26,200
And the applicant is requesting, and this is the introduction. This is the first step in the

1074
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:31,800
process for this rezoning request. The applicant is requesting our five, which is multiple family,

1075
01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:39,240
five units per acre. With the 5.8 acres, this would be 25 plus units that they are requesting.

1076
01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:44,600
The Catholic Drain runs east and west on both of these parcels that are in question and it

1077
01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:48,920
contains the 60 foot wide easement along the west side of the parcel from north to south.

1078
01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:55,080
The north property is mobile home park development, which is Sun Shelby West mobile home park.

1079
01:12:55,880 --> 01:13:00,600
The south is single family residential subdivision. And the name of the subdivision is Franklin

1080
01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:06,840
Meadows. Also to the west is a mobile home. It is the same mobile home park that is also to the north.

1081
01:13:06,840 --> 01:13:13,400
And the ITC quarter is to the east to the east there. The planning commission heard this

1082
01:13:13,480 --> 01:13:21,560
at their January 27th meeting this year, which they recommended denial. And with that,

1083
01:13:22,840 --> 01:13:28,200
the current zoning of the property is single family residential. While single family residential

1084
01:13:28,200 --> 01:13:35,880
are one B may not be appropriate for this site. There could be some other, you know, we can meet in the

1085
01:13:35,880 --> 01:13:43,000
middle with the applicant, however. In 2005, this was also brought to this board in 2006,

1086
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:49,560
where they came in as a PUD that proposed 27 single family small, a lot unit development.

1087
01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:56,360
For some reason, that plan was never, they never proceeded with that plan. And now there are before us

1088
01:13:56,360 --> 01:14:05,400
again requesting our five, which is multiple family. Okay. Motion please. Mr. Chairman.

1089
01:14:05,400 --> 01:14:09,320
Yes, Mr. Remelin. Oh, the concur with recommendation of the planning commission of the night

1090
01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:18,040
rezoning to number 24 dash 42 George Leeney, George Leeney, property rental LOC, one two five three three

1091
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:26,120
and one two five nine five twenty two mile road. Process number 23 dash seven dash 23 300 dash nine

1092
01:14:26,760 --> 01:14:36,920
in 23 dash seven dash 23 300 dash 11 located on the north side of 22 mile road west of

1093
01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:43,560
Sainer Road proposed rezoning from our one B single family residential to our five multi family

1094
01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:48,200
rural rise east upon the consensus of the planning commission basis for the motion.

1095
01:14:48,200 --> 01:14:53,400
The zoning request is not consistent with the recommendations content in the township's master plan.

1096
01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:59,160
The rezoning application is out of skill with the recommended land use pattern in this area 22 in

1097
01:14:59,160 --> 01:14:59,720
Sainer.

1098
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:05,000
The applicant is not demonstrated that the property cannot be developed as currently zone.

1099
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:12,000
The proposed zoning classification would have an adverse impact on the single family homes in the area.

1100
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:19,000
Okay. Motion made by Mr. Vermeal and seconded by Mr. Carebele and I'm sorry we do have a group that wants to make a presentation.

1101
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:25,000
We do have a motion on a floor, but we will not vote until after you make your presentation.

1102
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:29,000
And of course, motion maker can change his motion.

1103
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:30,000
At any time.

1104
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:31,000
Hopefully.

1105
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:33,000
Good evening, Mr. Supervisor.

1106
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:37,000
Tom Callis, appearing on behalf of the applicant, George Lini.

1107
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:51,000
And this is our application to raise on the property from its current R1B, which requires 90 foot minimum with lots, total 14,000 square foot lots.

1108
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:53,000
This is a unique piece of property.

1109
01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:59,000
It butts a 60 foot wide, ITC corridor with overhead wires.

1110
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:04,000
We have manufactured housing to the north, manufactured housing to the west.

1111
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:06,000
We have furnished on a major road.

1112
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:10,000
There is no way this property can be used for 90 foot lots.

1113
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:16,000
It's Shelby Township has so many other areas, so many nice developments.

1114
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:22,000
We're 90 foot lots are allowed or zoned that are not abutting mobile home parks.

1115
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:25,000
They're not abutting an ITC corridor with overhead wires.

1116
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:33,000
We have all the negativity with overhead wires, especially when you're raising a family, young kids, and frontage on a major road.

1117
01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:38,000
This property is a master plan for MHP.

1118
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:40,000
Those are 40 foot lots.

1119
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:47,000
Back in 2006, when my client came in front of the board, it was a 40 foot lot development.

1120
01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:49,000
We don't want to do 40 foot lots.

1121
01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:52,000
We want to do a nice condominium development here.

1122
01:16:52,000 --> 01:17:02,000
Now, I submitted a sketch, because when we were in front of the planning commission, they had some concerns relative to what type of products coming in, density and all that.

1123
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:08,000
The R5 allows us, as your plan are indicated, 25 point, something lots.

1124
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:10,000
We're at 24 lots on our sketch plan.

1125
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:17,000
And that could change to site plan and engineering, because we have, obviously, we have to meet the criteria of the R5 zoning district.

1126
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:21,000
We have detention basin, that could increase or decrease.

1127
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:27,000
We have a 50 foot drain that goes east to west across our property.

1128
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:28,000
Totally dissects it.

1129
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:32,000
This is a very difficult piece of property to develop and use.

1130
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:34,000
Let alone for 90 foot lots.

1131
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:39,000
There is no way, absolutely, no way that this property can be used for 90 foot lots.

1132
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:44,000
It's just, I'm not going to go buy a 90 foot lot in this prop on this property.

1133
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:49,000
Surrounded by all those mobile home park, ITC corridor.

1134
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:56,000
When I can go, in other places of the township and buy a 90 foot lot, there are, you know, off major roads.

1135
01:17:56,000 --> 01:18:01,000
There are very deep in the subdivisions, much more appeal, much more attractive.

1136
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:06,000
So we felt that this was a nice, the R5 was actually a nice development.

1137
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:11,000
Compared to what it's master plan for, which is MHP.

1138
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:12,000
We can come in from mobile home park.

1139
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:13,000
We didn't want to do that.

1140
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:17,000
We wanted to come in from a nice condominium development.

1141
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:21,000
That, quite frankly, the township is in need of, there's a demand for it.

1142
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:23,000
Not only in Shelby, but all over.

1143
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:26,000
And we felt that this was a nice zoning.

1144
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:29,000
We did that sketch plan to see how many units we could get.

1145
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:32,000
And that's what dictated our R5 zoning request.

1146
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:36,000
Because we're at 24 and the R5 would allow 25 units.

1147
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:40,000
So, clearly, it's not economically feasible.

1148
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:42,000
As currently zoned, can't be used.

1149
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:43,000
That's going to be easy.

1150
01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:45,000
That's going to be easy to prove.

1151
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:48,000
So, we would ask you to reconsider.

1152
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:51,000
I know there's a motion made, planning commission, made the recommendation.

1153
01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:54,000
But we feel that this is an ideal site.

1154
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:56,000
It's a five acre infill area.

1155
01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:59,000
These condos will fit nicely in that area.

1156
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:02,000
And again, with everything around there.

1157
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:05,000
And we would ask you to reconsider your motion.

1158
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:08,000
Obviously, look at what the plan commission recommended.

1159
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:10,000
But we feel this is a nice development.

1160
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:13,000
I did attach conditions to the rezoning request.

1161
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:16,000
So, you'll know what type of units coming in.

1162
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:20,000
You know, garage is too kind of attached garage.

1163
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:22,000
You're going to have, you know, these are nice units.

1164
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:25,000
Two bad minimum, two bad room, two bath.

1165
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:30,000
You know, so, and you can see I submitted a sketch plan this afternoon.

1166
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:34,000
So, you can kind of see, you know, how this would lay out in the road pattern.

1167
01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:37,000
And again, it's a very difficult site.

1168
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:40,000
And, you know, we're limited as to what we can do.

1169
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:45,000
Because of the drain, because of the easement, you know, and the surrounding uses.

1170
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:52,000
So, we would ask you to reconsider or, you know, consider what, you know, we presented.

1171
01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:55,000
And, you know, vote for approval.

1172
01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:57,000
So, and I'm here to answer any questions you may have.

1173
01:19:57,000 --> 01:19:58,000
Sir?

1174
01:19:58,000 --> 01:19:59,000
Yes.

1175
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:01,000
Why can't this be developed under a PUD?

1176
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:04,000
Is it was proposed before?

1177
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:06,000
I don't think we didn't think the challenge.

1178
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:08,000
Yeah, we almost was smaller lots.

1179
01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:11,000
We didn't think the challenge would want forty-four lots.

1180
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:12,000
Jim.

1181
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:14,000
We've, we've, we've, we've, that was back.

1182
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:15,000
We've approved.

1183
01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:16,000
We've approved.

1184
01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:17,000
We've got small lots in the past.

1185
01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:18,000
Yeah.

1186
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:19,000
Nineteen years.

1187
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:21,000
There are areas along very busy roads.

1188
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:22,000
There was 2006.

1189
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:27,000
The markets changed, you know, economy's changed, material cost have changed.

1190
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:32,000
We feel that a multi-family product would be more scalable, more marketable.

1191
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:36,000
Easier to bring the market and more attainable, you know,

1192
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:39,000
I realize there's more money in it for a developer.

1193
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:45,000
It's, it's a thing where it's, it's, I'm very concerned about the single family homes in the area.

1194
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:50,000
I mean, there's a lot of people that have a very nice investments in their homes there.

1195
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:57,000
And, you know, I, I, I'm just very uncomfortable with, you know.

1196
01:20:57,000 --> 01:20:59,000
Well, but you look at, you have to look at what's around us.

1197
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:00,000
Yep.

1198
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:01,000
MHP.

1199
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:02,000
Exactly.

1200
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:04,000
A 60 foot ITC corridor.

1201
01:21:04,000 --> 01:21:06,000
No one's going to build a house.

1202
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:07,000
I don't know.

1203
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:08,000
Home of north.

1204
01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:11,000
It's right on a right on a ITC corridor myself.

1205
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:15,000
People, there's so much negativity with overhead wires and radioactive effects.

1206
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:19,000
And if you have a young family or young children, or you're building a,

1207
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:23,000
let's, let's look at it, you know, financially, a 90 foot lot.

1208
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:28,000
If you're going to build on a 90 foot lot, you're not going to build a 1,000 square foot house on it.

1209
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:33,000
You're going to build a 3,000 typically a 3,000 square foot house on the 90 foot lot.

1210
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:34,000
Okay.

1211
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:36,000
The cost to put, bring that house to market.

1212
01:21:36,000 --> 01:21:42,000
Just straight, a builder cost $250 a square foot or a 7200.

1213
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:46,000
That's 600 to 750,000 dollars for the house.

1214
01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:48,000
That doesn't include buying a lot.

1215
01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:54,000
Okay, which could be another 90,000, you know, hypothetically, you know, 100,000,

1216
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:57,000
what they're going for in other areas of the township.

1217
01:21:57,000 --> 01:22:01,000
No one's going to buy a 90 foot lot in this, on this piece of property.

1218
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:03,000
It's just not going to happen.

1219
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:04,000
Okay.

1220
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:06,000
There's too many, too many issues around it.

1221
01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:09,000
Especially when you've got other areas in the township.

1222
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:11,000
You've got developments coming online.

1223
01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:12,000
You've got pressing corners.

1224
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:16,000
You've got all these other developments with 90 foot lots, 80 foot lots.

1225
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:17,000
That are more desirable.

1226
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:19,000
They're, they're in better areas.

1227
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:21,000
They're off major roads.

1228
01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:24,000
People are going to gravitate to those areas to purchase.

1229
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:26,000
This is a little infilled development.

1230
01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:28,000
There's, there's a lot of detriment to it.

1231
01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:33,000
Because of, you know, words located, the corridor, ITC corridor,

1232
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:35,000
it's finding, frontage on a major road.

1233
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:38,000
It's ideal for a condo development.

1234
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:41,000
I mean, it's, you couldn't find a better, you know, for an infilled development.

1235
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:43,000
Five acres, small development.

1236
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:47,000
And with the conditions that we're offering, you know, there's no point to do a PUD.

1237
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:52,000
Because the PUDs, if you're typically for larger acreage.

1238
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:56,000
If you're coming in from, you know, multi-family, small lots, big lots.

1239
01:22:56,000 --> 01:22:59,000
You've got a mixed use, you know, type product.

1240
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:00,000
This here, you know what you're getting.

1241
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:02,000
We're coming in under our five.

1242
01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:05,000
You're getting multi-family attached units.

1243
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:08,000
Anywhere from duplex, we've got a duplex on there.

1244
01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:13,000
I think we have three, four plexus and two, five plexus to get us our 24 units.

1245
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:14,000
So, and that could change.

1246
01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:18,000
You may have, you know, another four plex, maybe a three plex.

1247
01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:21,000
Maybe another duplex, depending on how it all lays out.

1248
01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:24,000
When we go on for site plan and engineering approvals.

1249
01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:28,000
Well, but this, there's a demand for this product in the township.

1250
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:31,000
And every township quite frankly, all over the Tri-County area.

1251
01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:34,000
We're willing to bring it to market here.

1252
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:36,000
My client's own property is a builder.

1253
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:37,000
He's going to build the units.

1254
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:39,000
And this is just an ideal site.

1255
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:42,000
That's what people are looking for, what people need.

1256
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:45,000
We don't need, you know, Shelby doesn't need it more than 90 foot lots.

1257
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:47,000
I mean, that's just a given.

1258
01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:52,000
And we felt that this, we saw the fire history with the 44 lots.

1259
01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:54,000
You know, 44 lots.

1260
01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:56,000
You see them in a royal oak.

1261
01:23:56,000 --> 01:23:58,000
Berkley.

1262
01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:02,000
We haven't, you know, we didn't think Shelby quite frankly wanted 44 lots.

1263
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:04,000
We feel this is a nicer product.

1264
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:08,000
There's going to be less traffic generated because it's a multi-family product.

1265
01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:13,000
Typically, we cater to retirees, empty nesters, people with no kids.

1266
01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:16,000
You know, and so you're going to have less traffic coming in and out.

1267
01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:17,000
No.

1268
01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:18,000
Mr. Chair Belling.

1269
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:19,000
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

1270
01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:20,000
Thank you.

1271
01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:22,000
Well, some great points.

1272
01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:23,000
Thank you.

1273
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:28,000
And I think our planer actually made some of your points to me yesterday when we were talking.

1274
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:31,000
But unfortunately, I didn't see a plan.

1275
01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:35,000
And I don't think that the planning, if I can ask the planer a couple of questions.

1276
01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:36,000
Sure.

1277
01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:37,000
I can present one.

1278
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:38,000
Excuse me.

1279
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:45,000
Was this plan, is the plan that was presented to the planning commission?

1280
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:46,000
No.

1281
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:48,000
There was no site plan presented to the planning commission.

1282
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:51,000
The email this afternoon at about a little bit after four o'clock.

1283
01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:52,000
Okay.

1284
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:53,000
Mr. Chairman.

1285
01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:55,000
I did support the motion.

1286
01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:58,000
I'll be willing to remove my support of the motion.

1287
01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:02,000
And I think this should be referred back with this plan.

1288
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:04,000
Because I see things myself, and I'm not an engineer.

1289
01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:06,000
A few changes that may have to be made.

1290
01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:08,000
I think this should go back to the planning commission.

1291
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:10,000
If the motion makes this remilin?

1292
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:13,000
I'm I'm I'm leaving it as as it is.

1293
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:16,000
I think it should go back to the planning commission.

1294
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:21,000
For the the reasoning that I don't think that the from what I'm seeing.

1295
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:23,000
I don't think it's a going concern.

1296
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:27,000
I think it has to be go back to a PUD or at single family homes on small lots.

1297
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:31,000
Are you withdraw the motion or are you still making a motion?

1298
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:32,000
Mr. For me.

1299
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:36,000
I'm suggest the man your motion can concur with Mr. Carebelly.

1300
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:38,000
Suggest and back to the planning commission.

1301
01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:39,000
Yes.

1302
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:40,000
Okay. Got it.

1303
01:25:40,000 --> 01:25:42,000
Okay. His support remains.

1304
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:45,000
Motion on floor to send it back to the.

1305
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:48,000
Planning commission with the additional site plan.

1306
01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:51,000
And does not need a roll call vote.

1307
01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:53,000
Just so I can explain.

1308
01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:57,000
The reason we didn't submit a plan is because it was a straight rezoning.

1309
01:25:57,000 --> 01:26:00,000
And if the straight rezoning plans are not binding.

1310
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:04,000
We can come in and come in here and say this is what we're going to do.

1311
01:26:04,000 --> 01:26:07,000
You give us a rezoning and we end up doing something totally different.

1312
01:26:07,000 --> 01:26:08,000
So.

1313
01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:10,000
We can understand the looking for.

1314
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:12,000
I can hear the sentiment of the board.

1315
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:14,000
I don't want to lock down with either.

1316
01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:16,000
The conditional rezoning or PUD.

1317
01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:19,000
If it comes back up here so that they know what to look at.

1318
01:26:19,000 --> 01:26:21,000
I offer conditions.

1319
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:22,000
Okay.

1320
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:23,000
I'm just telling you.

1321
01:26:23,000 --> 01:26:24,000
Bank commission.

1322
01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:25,000
Back here.

1323
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:26,000
Okay.

1324
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:28,000
We have a motion on floor and we'll just see your roll call.

1325
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:29,000
Okay.

1326
01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:30,000
You can do roll call or voice.

1327
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:31,000
Whatever.

1328
01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:32,000
What do you want to roll call?

1329
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:33,000
No.

1330
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:34,000
All those in favor.

1331
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:35,000
Please signify by saying aye.

1332
01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:36,000
Aye.

1333
01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:37,000
Any opposed.

1334
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:38,000
Motion passes.

1335
01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:39,000
Go back to planning.

1336
01:26:39,000 --> 01:26:40,000
Okay. Thank you.

1337
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:42,000
I didn't see you raise your hand, but I'm glad you got up here.

1338
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:43,000
I just thought it.

1339
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:44,000
Yeah.

1340
01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:45,000
Applicant.

1341
01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:46,000
I thought automatically gets up.

1342
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:47,000
Thank you presentation.

1343
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:48,000
Thank you.

1344
01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:49,000
Thank you for allow me to speak.

1345
01:26:49,000 --> 01:26:50,000
Thank you.

1346
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:51,000
Okay.

1347
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:52,000
This message.

1348
01:26:52,000 --> 01:26:53,000
That's all I have.

1349
01:26:53,000 --> 01:26:54,000
Thank you, Board.

1350
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:55,000
Are you done for the night?

1351
01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:56,000
That's it.

1352
01:26:56,000 --> 01:26:57,000
Okay. Thank you.

1353
01:26:57,000 --> 01:26:59,000
Next.

1354
01:26:59,000 --> 01:27:00,000
We have item number four.

1355
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:02,000
The ACLS.

1356
01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:03,000
Resturification.

1357
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:05,000
Fire Chief Franklin Pierce.

1358
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:06,000
Who's still here.

1359
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:09,000
There's asking the board tonight to approve his request for.

1360
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:13,000
The certification is pertaining to the Advanced Cardiac Life Support.

1361
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:19,000
ACLS certification is a mandatory requirement for all paramedics.

1362
01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:23,000
Traditionally, this training has been conducted through a six hour in person renewal class,

1363
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:29,000
requiring fire fire paramedics to attend on their schedule days off.

1364
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:32,000
This resulted in significant overtime costs.

1365
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:38,000
Now, Chief Pierce is amending this process so that the classroom portion can be completed.

1366
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:44,000
I'm allowing personnel to progress at their own pace while on duty.

1367
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:45,000
So, thank you, Chief.

1368
01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:50,000
To appreciate that for the efficient use of training funds for your department.

1369
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:51,000
Motion, please.

1370
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:52,000
Mr. Chairman.

1371
01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:53,000
Mr. Ramilla.

1372
01:27:53,000 --> 01:27:55,000
Load to concur with the recommendation of Chief.

1373
01:27:55,000 --> 01:27:57,000
Fire Chief Frank Pierce.

1374
01:27:57,000 --> 01:28:00,000
And approve ACLS Recertification process.

1375
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:02,000
And associated class.

1376
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:06,000
Now to exceed $13,000 to the American Heart Association.

1377
01:28:06,000 --> 01:28:08,000
Funds are be taken from fire.

1378
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:12,000
Fund line item 2, 06, 336, 7090.

1379
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:15,000
Motion made by Mr. Ramilla.

1380
01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:17,000
Secondary by Mr. Seagull.

1381
01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:19,000
Any discussion?

1382
01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:22,000
All those in favor, please signify by saying aye.

1383
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:23,000
Any opposed?

1384
01:28:23,000 --> 01:28:24,000
Motion passes.

1385
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:30,000
Next, Chief Pierce is asked us to consider a motion to renew the contract with a national

1386
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:35,000
host testing specialties entity to test the fire departments firehouses.

1387
01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:41,000
If approved tonight, the testing company will unload, inspect, pressure tests, and re-roll,

1388
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:48,000
and reload the firehouses along with providing complete documentation for the township's records.

1389
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:52,000
This is another example in which Chief Pierce believes that an outside firm

1390
01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:58,000
can help lower the township's overall cost considering a staffing time that would be needed

1391
01:28:58,000 --> 01:29:00,000
if this was done in house.

1392
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:04,000
Interestingly, I want to note that in the background information,

1393
01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:10,000
I noticed that the township has 25,000 feet of firehouses.

1394
01:29:10,000 --> 01:29:12,000
Do I read that right?

1395
01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:13,000
25,000.

1396
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:14,000
That's incredible.

1397
01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:19,000
Anyway, can you imagine almost five miles of firehouses right here in the township?

1398
01:29:20,000 --> 01:29:25,000
5,200 feet is a mile, so you're right.

1399
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:30,000
It would be a little more than a half mile.

1400
01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:31,000
Okay.

1401
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:33,000
It is.

1402
01:29:33,000 --> 01:29:34,000
It is.

1403
01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:35,000
Okay, we got that settled.

1404
01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:37,000
Now let's go ahead and vote.

1405
01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:38,000
All those in favor?

1406
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:40,000
Motion, I'm so sorry.

1407
01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:46,000
Mr. Supervisor, I'll move to concur with the recommendation of fire chief Frank Pierce and approve the request.

1408
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:50,000
To enter into one-year contract with National Host Testing Society of Inc.

1409
01:29:50,000 --> 01:29:52,000
Located on Wyoming, Michigan.

1410
01:29:52,000 --> 01:29:57,000
For a testing up to 25,000 feet of hose at a rate of 48 cents per foot estimated

1411
01:29:57,000 --> 01:29:59,000
bid of $12,000.

1412
01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:00,000
Funds.

1413
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:11,760
Are to be taken from fire, fund, line item 206336 730304 support, motion made by Mr. Seiko, supported by Mr.

1414
01:30:11,760 --> 01:30:24,000
Reviewer. No, it's 2,500, 280 feet in a mile. I had to know that, get out of 7th grade. I know that's right.

1415
01:30:24,000 --> 01:30:40,000
Or 1760 yards. No, 25,000 is a half of a mile. Wait, 5,200, keep that number here. Half of that is by 26,000. And we're talking 25,000.

1416
01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:48,000
I'm telling you, my seventh grade teacher, he would not pass me if I didn't know this. Okay. Thank you, Mr. Carebelly.

1417
01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:56,000
We'll further discussion later. I don't owe you, you owe me the cameras on right now.

1418
01:30:56,000 --> 01:31:05,000
Okay, all those in favor, please signify by, oh wait, Mr. Seiko made a motion and Mr. Reviewer, seconded it. All those in favor, please signify by saying aye.

1419
01:31:05,000 --> 01:31:16,000
Aye. Any opposed? Motion passes. Next, preventative health screening program. This is another item to consider for chief peers.

1420
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:25,000
The fire department is looking to implement a preventive program for a fire department personnel through the cardiac and cancer screenings and physicals.

1421
01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:36,000
This program will allow early detection of career ending diseases and prompt treatment so that highly trained personnel can continue to serve the township and his residents.

1422
01:31:36,000 --> 01:31:44,000
If approved tonight, this program will all test scans and blood work that can detect the top causes of death for firefighters.

1423
01:31:44,000 --> 01:32:03,000
Chief, this is a great idea and not only in terms of cutting costs here, but obviously helping to keep our fire personnel healthy and, you know, spotting issues before they become difficult to treat at a later date. So who would like to make the motion?

1424
01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:06,000
Mr. Chairman. Mr. Reviewer.

1425
01:32:06,000 --> 01:32:08,000
Who to concur with the recommendation of Frank.

1426
01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:25,000
Chief Frank Pierce and approved a three year proposal with bio care, mobile medical testing located in Hold Michigan to provide cardiac screenings, cancer screenings and NFPA 1582 physicals not to exceed 104,000.

1427

Aye.

1432

Any opposed motion passes.

1433

Radio council. That's and I see Captain Barnard is here tonight. Thank you very much.

1434
01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:12,000
Please Chief Robert Slide is asking the board tonight to approve the purchase of three radio council lists for Motorola.

1435
01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:19,000
These council lists will be used to replace three other departments six council lists now in operation.

1436
01:33:19,000 --> 01:33:24,000
The chief has learned that Motorola will no longer support these council lists.

1437
01:33:24,000 --> 01:33:30,000
Chief Slide has noted that these council lists are very important to keep the 911 service operating smoothly.

1438
01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:34,000
They're right. Okay. Any questions? Discussion?

1439
01:33:34,000 --> 01:33:38,000
All those of favor? Please signify by saying aye.

1440
01:33:38,000 --> 01:33:42,000
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm really rushing through this. I like to make a motion.

1441
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:43,000
I'll make a motion.

1442
01:33:43,000 --> 01:33:44,000

1443
01:33:44,000 --> 01:33:45,000

Motion made by Mr. Disco seconded by Mr. Remuelin.

1448
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:13,000

1473
01:36:34,000 --> 01:36:42,000
When we can have visible evidence that shows hey this person's line we had an incident like that at the overpass at twenty three mile.

1490
01:38:04,000 --> 01:38:09,000
Now this is one of the township's most anticipated community events every year.

1491
01:38:09,000 --> 01:38:20,000

1499
01:39:04,000 --> 01:39:09,000
And I think this drone idea that you and the DDA came up with is really great and clever.

Video walk expansion.

1525
01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:05,000
We actually had a work session on this.

01:41:05,000 --> 01:41:08,000
Here are community relations director, Mr. Brad Bates,

1527
01:41:08,000 --> 01:41:12,000
a seeking board authorization to purchase rigging motors.

1528
01:41:12,000 --> 01:41:15,000
They're necessary to hang the townships expanded video walk.

1529
01:41:15,000 --> 01:41:19,000
So the video walk is going to be twice the size as it was last year.

1530
01:41:19,000 --> 01:41:24,000
But now it's going to require these special rigging motors to lift it.

1531
01:41:24,000 --> 01:41:30,000
So he received three proposals and he's asking the board to forward this with a lowest cost

1532
01:41:30,000 --> 01:41:34,000
medal from amplify production services.

1533

Motion please?

1538
01:41:59,000 --> 01:42:04,000
Funds are retaken from capital improvement, fund item, line item 427, 757,

1539
01:42:04,000 --> 01:42:09,000
9850, and amend the budget accordingly.

1540
01:42:09,000 --> 01:42:14,000
Support. Motion made by Mrs. Disciples, supported by Mr. Remuelin.

1541
01:42:14,000 --> 01:42:16,000
Any discussion?

1542

All those in favor please signify by saying aye. Aye.

1543
01:42:19,000 --> 01:42:22,000
Any opposed? Aye. Motion passes.

1544
01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:25,000
Next item is replacement production fiber and accessories.

1545
01:42:25,000 --> 01:42:29,000
Mr. Brad Bates has placed this proposal in front of us tonight.

1546
01:42:29,000 --> 01:42:34,000
That would permit the department to purchase replacement production fiber and accessories.

1547
01:42:34,000 --> 01:42:38,000
The production fiber is the main component of our events.

1548
01:42:38,000 --> 01:42:44,000
Carrying video, audio, lighting, network, and data signals between the equipment.

1549
01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:51,000
In the current fiber was purchased in 2016 and has now reached the end of life status.

1550
01:42:51,000 --> 01:42:54,000
It no longer supports the formats we require.

1551
01:42:54,000 --> 01:42:59,000
Mr. Bates saw quotes from four vendors and did receive two in response.

1552
01:42:59,000 --> 01:43:05,000
And by the way, because of this added item, this was not in this year's budget.

1553
01:43:05,000 --> 01:43:08,000
There's a camera. There's approximately the same cost.

1554
01:43:08,000 --> 01:43:13,000
What he's doing is taking that camera and postponing that purchase until next year.

1555
01:43:13,000 --> 01:43:16,000
And doing this, which has to be done this year.

1556
01:43:16,000 --> 01:43:20,000
So the impact on a budget will be zero.

1557
01:43:20,000 --> 01:43:22,000
Motion, please.

1558
01:43:22,000 --> 01:43:23,000
Mr. Chair.

1559
01:43:23,000 --> 01:43:24,000
Yes, Mr. Miss Puzzle.

1560
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:31,000
I move to concur with the recommendation of community relations director Brad Bates and purchase production fiber and accessories at a cost.

1561
01:43:31,000 --> 01:43:34,000
Not to exceed $60,000.

1562
01:43:34,000 --> 01:43:40,000
Purchases shall be made through fiber for a TV at a cost of $26,666.

1563
01:43:40,000 --> 01:43:46,000
Great Lakes multimedia supply at a cost of $22,035.

1564
01:43:46,000 --> 01:43:53,000
And $10,999 in 10 cents for additional accessory purchases through established vendors.

1565
01:43:53,000 --> 01:44:02,000
Funds are to be taken from capital improvement, fund 9 item, 427, 757, 95, 00 and amend the budget accordingly.

1566
01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:03,000
Support.

1567

Motion made by Mrs. Cassalli, seconded by Mrs. Decico.

1568
01:44:07,000 --> 01:44:09,000
Any discussion?

1569

All those in favor, please signify by saying aye.

1570
01:44:12,000 --> 01:44:13,000
Aye.

1571

Motion passes.

1573
01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:18,000
Our next item is a request of purchase.

1574
01:44:18,000 --> 01:44:21,000
Mr. John Dears, no machine broom.

1575
01:44:21,000 --> 01:44:26,000
Park recreation and maintenance director Mr. Joe Youngblood has provided information.

1576
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:30,000
Detailing his request, it purchased a John Dears, no machine and broom.

1577
01:44:30,000 --> 01:44:34,000
The current John Dears, no plows are 25 years old.

1578
01:44:34,000 --> 01:44:38,000
In a cost of parts and repairs is becoming excessively expensive.

1579
01:44:38,000 --> 01:44:46,000
Mr. Youngblood researched options and found that John Dears 1550 would meet the departments need perfectly.

1580
01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:52,000
If approved tonight, it will be primarily used for township hall and heritage gardens for snow removal,

1581

as well as curb and parking lot sweeping.

1582
01:44:55,000 --> 01:45:00,000
Mr. Youngblood was able to achieve a quote directly from the manufacturer, which is.

1583
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:07,000
Equivalent, or better than the state of Michigan, my deal contracts. Motion, please? Mr. Chairman.

1595
01:45:58,000 --> 01:46:05,000

1596
01:46:05,000 --> 01:46:11,000

right-of-way acquisition for improvements to Ryan Road to remote safety and economic

1610
01:47:11,000 --> 01:47:13,000
development.

1611
01:47:13,000 --> 01:47:14,000
Second.

1612
01:47:14,000 --> 01:47:18,000
Motion made by Mr. Reel and seconded by Mr. Road. Any discussion?

1613
01:47:18,000 --> 01:47:21,000
All those are favour please signify by saying aye.

1614
01:47:21,000 --> 01:47:23,000
Any opposed?

1615
01:47:23,000 --> 01:47:25,000
Motion passes.

1616
01:47:25,000 --> 01:47:26,000
Yeah.

1617
01:47:26,000 --> 01:47:29,000
Hold on, because we need to roll call.

1618
01:47:29,000 --> 01:47:30,000
Let's do a roll call.

1619
01:47:30,000 --> 01:47:31,000
All right.

1620
01:47:31,000 --> 01:47:32,000
Good cash.

1621
01:47:32,000 --> 01:47:33,000
Great.

1622
01:47:33,000 --> 01:47:36,000
We're going to go with John Reel then.

1623
01:47:36,000 --> 01:47:37,000
Yes.

1624
01:47:37,000 --> 01:47:38,000
Stanley Grott, yes.

1625
01:47:38,000 --> 01:47:39,000
Rick Stalficus?

1626
01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:40,000
Yes.

1627
01:47:40,000 --> 01:47:42,000
Jim Caraballi?

1628
01:47:42,000 --> 01:47:43,000
Aye.

1629
01:47:43,000 --> 01:47:44,000
Risa Casale?

1630
01:47:44,000 --> 01:47:45,000
Yes.

1631
01:47:45,000 --> 01:47:46,000
Monsieur de Sico?

1632
01:47:46,000 --> 01:47:47,000
Yes.

1633
01:47:47,000 --> 01:47:49,000
And events of Yano excuse.

1634
01:47:49,000 --> 01:47:50,000
Okay.

1635
01:47:50,000 --> 01:47:51,000
Thank you.

1636
01:47:51,000 --> 01:47:54,000
Next is the ordinance 303 for legal re-establishment of the

1637
01:47:54,000 --> 01:47:57,000
Shelby Township Library adoption.

1638
01:47:57,000 --> 01:47:59,000
This is really more of housekeeping item.

1639
01:47:59,000 --> 01:48:02,000
Our library director, Ms. Katie Ester, has asked us to consider the

1640
01:48:02,000 --> 01:48:06,000
section ordinance that will re-establish the Shelby Township Library.

1641
01:48:06,000 --> 01:48:08,000
Although the library has been established,

1642
01:48:08,000 --> 01:48:13,000
the act that is currently initiated under it was repealed.

1643
01:48:13,000 --> 01:48:21,000
So the library director, director Ester, is asking us to consider this ordinance to re-establish

1644
01:48:21,000 --> 01:48:23,000
the public library as permitted under state law.

1645
01:48:23,000 --> 01:48:26,000
So if someone could make a motion, it'd be great.

1646
01:48:26,000 --> 01:48:29,000
Mr. Chair, move to concur with Library Director, Katie Ester,

1647
01:48:29,000 --> 01:48:31,000
and adopt and publish for the second time.

1648
01:48:31,000 --> 01:48:35,000
Oregon's 303 to re-establish the Shelby Township Library,

1649
01:48:35,000 --> 01:48:39,000
pursuant to MCL 42.13A.

1650
01:48:39,000 --> 01:48:41,000
Second.

1651
01:48:41,000 --> 01:48:44,000
Motion made by Mr. Remeland, seconded by Mr.

1652
01:48:44,000 --> 01:48:46,000
Grote.

1653
01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:47,000
Any discussion?

1654
01:48:47,000 --> 01:48:48,000
All those are favourable.

1655
01:48:48,000 --> 01:48:49,000
We need a rope on this.

1656
01:48:49,000 --> 01:48:50,000
Mr. Grote.

1657
01:48:50,000 --> 01:48:51,000
Okay.

1658
01:48:51,000 --> 01:48:52,000
Yeah, you're right.

1659
01:48:52,000 --> 01:48:53,000
John Brimielland?

1660
01:48:53,000 --> 01:48:54,000
Yes.

1661
01:48:54,000 --> 01:48:56,000
Stanley Grote. Yes. Rick Staphickus.

1662
01:48:56,000 --> 01:48:57,000
Yes.

1663
01:48:57,000 --> 01:48:58,000
Jim Caraballi.

1664
01:48:58,000 --> 01:48:59,000
Lisa Casale.

1665
01:48:59,000 --> 01:49:00,000
Yes.

1666
01:49:00,000 --> 01:49:01,000
Did you see the Sico?

1667
01:49:01,000 --> 01:49:02,000
Yes.

1668
01:49:02,000 --> 01:49:03,000
And events of Yano excuse.

1669
01:49:03,000 --> 01:49:04,000
Okay.

1670
01:49:05,000 --> 01:49:08,000
This next item is a permit growth facility establishments.

1671
01:49:08,000 --> 01:49:10,000
I know we talked about it.

1672
01:49:10,000 --> 01:49:11,000
Now we're ready.

1673
01:49:11,000 --> 01:49:12,000
I guess to adopt it.

1674
01:49:12,000 --> 01:49:13,000
Mr. Houth.

1675
01:49:13,000 --> 01:49:15,000
I know we voted on this ordinance.

1676
01:49:15,000 --> 01:49:17,000
But can you kind of help tea this up?

1677
01:49:17,000 --> 01:49:18,000
Sure.

1678
01:49:18,000 --> 01:49:21,000
This will be the fourth time that this township board is acted

1679
01:49:21,000 --> 01:49:23,000
if it does tonight regarding this process.

1680
01:49:23,000 --> 01:49:26,000
And what it will do is put our ordinance in line with the

1681
01:49:26,000 --> 01:49:32,000
voter enacted initiatives of 2016 and 2018 which gives

1682
01:49:32,000 --> 01:49:37,000
the township ability to regulate with a great deal more muscle

1683
01:49:37,000 --> 01:49:41,000
to grow activities that are occurring here in our community.

1684
01:49:41,000 --> 01:49:45,000
We will be able to hopefully get our arms around some of the issues

1685
01:49:45,000 --> 01:49:47,000
surrounding the odors.

1686
01:49:47,000 --> 01:49:50,000
We will get our arms around where the project is going because they will

1687
01:49:50,000 --> 01:49:54,000
be put into the metric system and monitored by the state.

1688
01:49:54,000 --> 01:50:00,000
So, anyway, we've taken action with respect to where this is going to be

1689
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:01,000
permitted.

1690
01:50:01,000 --> 01:50:02,000
It's a night.

1691
01:50:02,000 --> 01:50:04,000
We'll set forth the regulations around again.

1692
01:50:04,000 --> 01:50:06,000
Thank you.

1693
01:50:06,000 --> 01:50:08,000
Motion, please.

1694
01:50:10,000 --> 01:50:12,000
Mr. Chairman.

1695
01:50:12,000 --> 01:50:13,000
Mr. Cousalli.

1696
01:50:13,000 --> 01:50:17,000
I move to adopt and publish for the second time ordinance 304 to amend

1697
01:50:17,000 --> 01:50:21,000
Chapter 14 of the Charter Township of Shelby, Michigan Code of

1698
01:50:21,000 --> 01:50:24,000
Justice, to implement the provisions of the Michigan

1699
01:50:24,000 --> 01:50:28,000
Regulation and Taxation of marijuana initiated law 1 of

1700
01:50:28,000 --> 01:50:34,000
2018 to authorize and provide for the regulations and licensing of

1701
01:50:34,000 --> 01:50:38,000
certain medical marijuana businesses within the township according to

1702
01:50:38,000 --> 01:50:41,000
the state law to provide penalties for violations for

1703
01:50:41,000 --> 01:50:46,000
chapter 14 and to repeal all ordinances or parts of ordinances

1704
01:50:46,000 --> 01:50:52,000
to provide and effective dates.

1705
01:50:52,000 --> 01:50:54,000
Motion made by Mr. Cousalli.

1706
01:50:54,000 --> 01:50:57,000
Support by Mr. Carmelli.

1707
01:50:57,000 --> 01:50:59,000
Any discussion?

1708
01:50:59,000 --> 01:51:00,000
All those in favor?

1709
01:51:00,000 --> 01:51:01,000
Oh, the roll call.

1710
01:51:01,000 --> 01:51:02,000
I'm sorry. You only told me.

1711
01:51:02,000 --> 01:51:03,000
Risicousalli.

1712
01:51:03,000 --> 01:51:04,000
Yes.

1713
01:51:04,000 --> 01:51:05,000
Jim Carmelli.

1714
01:51:05,000 --> 01:51:06,000
Did you see her the sickle?

1715
01:51:06,000 --> 01:51:07,000
Yes.

1716
01:51:07,000 --> 01:51:08,000
Mr. and the grotes. Yes.

1717
01:51:08,000 --> 01:51:09,000
Mr. Cousalli.

1718
01:51:09,000 --> 01:51:10,000
Yes.

1719
01:51:10,000 --> 01:51:11,000
Mr. Carmelli. Yes.

1720
01:51:11,000 --> 01:51:12,000
Mr. Carmelli.

1721
01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:13,000
Mr. Carmelli.

1722
01:51:13,000 --> 01:51:14,000
Yes.

1723
01:51:14,000 --> 01:51:15,000
Mr. Carmelli.

1724
01:51:15,000 --> 01:51:16,000
Okay. Next one. Mr. Houthis.

1725
01:51:16,000 --> 01:51:18,000
I understand it's the resolution pertaining to the

1726
01:51:18,000 --> 01:51:20,000
last ordinance that we just enacted.

1727
01:51:20,000 --> 01:51:21,000
Yes. Correct.

1728
01:51:21,000 --> 01:51:24,000
If the Board decides to act, this resolution would do two things.

1729
01:51:24,000 --> 01:51:27,000
It would set the fees for the

1730
01:51:27,000 --> 01:51:32,000
roll operations to pay to the township to apply

1731
01:51:32,000 --> 01:51:34,000
yearly for the operation.

1732
01:51:34,000 --> 01:51:37,000
And secondly, what authorize are firm to be retained

1733
01:51:37,000 --> 01:51:40,000
at a fee to review those licenses.

1734
01:51:41,000 --> 01:51:43,000
We did this for the city to try it in which the

1735
01:51:43,000 --> 01:51:46,000
applicants there would.

1736
01:51:46,000 --> 01:51:49,000
We were the only law firm that handled all the

1737
01:51:49,000 --> 01:51:51,000
applicants for the city to try it.

1738
01:51:51,000 --> 01:51:54,000
And so people would go online fill out all the

1739
01:51:54,000 --> 01:51:55,000
information.

1740
01:51:55,000 --> 01:51:58,000
And then we would review that information at our office.

1741
01:51:58,000 --> 01:52:02,000
And then make a recommendation back to the city.

1742
01:52:02,000 --> 01:52:05,000
What I'm proposing here today is just taking extra

1743
01:52:05,000 --> 01:52:06,000
step.

1744
01:52:06,000 --> 01:52:08,000
I've interviewed with a police officer.

1745
01:52:08,000 --> 01:52:10,000
Recently retired from our department here.

1746
01:52:10,000 --> 01:52:13,000
It was in the drug enforcement department.

1747
01:52:13,000 --> 01:52:16,000
I have an office format in my building.

1748
01:52:16,000 --> 01:52:19,000
So he would help me review the applications.

1749
01:52:19,000 --> 01:52:22,000
And then given his background in terms of drug

1750
01:52:22,000 --> 01:52:26,000
enforcement would be able now to inspect these buildings

1751
01:52:26,000 --> 01:52:29,000
because under this new law or new ordinance,

1752
01:52:29,000 --> 01:52:32,000
we don't need a search warrant to enter.

1753
01:52:32,000 --> 01:52:34,000
If they apply her in a township, they agree

1754
01:52:34,000 --> 01:52:36,000
we can enter their building at any time.

1755
01:52:37,000 --> 01:52:40,000
So the issue that's happening is there's a

1756
01:52:40,000 --> 01:52:44,000
girl around the state of this product that is not being

1757
01:52:44,000 --> 01:52:45,000
regulated.

1758
01:52:45,000 --> 01:52:46,000
So it's ending up in places.

1759
01:52:46,000 --> 01:52:47,000
It shouldn't be.

1760
01:52:47,000 --> 01:52:50,000
So now the township has got its arms around it with

1761
01:52:50,000 --> 01:52:51,000
top regulation.

1762
01:52:51,000 --> 01:52:52,000
We'll send somebody into these.

1763
01:52:52,000 --> 01:52:54,000
Grow operations to knows the business.

1764
01:52:54,000 --> 01:52:56,000
And knows what's right and not.

1765
01:52:56,000 --> 01:52:57,000
So we'll be able to regulate.

1766
01:52:57,000 --> 01:53:01,000
So I'm asking the board to consider this resolution by

1767
01:53:01,000 --> 01:53:03,000
roll call vote.

1768
01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:05,000
Mr. Chairman.

1769
01:53:05,000 --> 01:53:06,000
Yes, Mr. Remeland.

1770
01:53:06,000 --> 01:53:08,000
We'll do adopt the resolution is presented

1771
01:53:08,000 --> 01:53:11,000
to establish fees pursuant to ordinance 304.

1772
01:53:11,000 --> 01:53:13,000
Motion made by Mr. Remeland.

1773
01:53:13,000 --> 01:53:15,000
Seconded by Mr. Carre Belly.

1774
01:53:15,000 --> 01:53:17,000
And we'll see what we'll call vote.

1775
01:53:17,000 --> 01:53:18,000
John Remeland.

1776
01:53:18,000 --> 01:53:19,000
Yes.

1777
01:53:19,000 --> 01:53:20,000
Jim Carre Belly.

1778
01:53:20,000 --> 01:53:21,000
Hi.

1779
01:53:21,000 --> 01:53:22,000
You see you at the sickle?

1780
01:53:22,000 --> 01:53:23,000
Yes.

1781
01:53:23,000 --> 01:53:24,000
And he's a Kassale.

1782
01:53:24,000 --> 01:53:25,000
Yes.

1783
01:53:25,000 --> 01:53:26,000

Thank you, Mr. Renew.

1865
01:57:19,000 --> 01:57:21,000
I just have one announcement.

1866
01:57:21,000 --> 01:57:24,000
Join us on April 22nd at 1 p.m.

1867
01:57:24,000 --> 01:57:29,000

1868
01:57:29,000 --> 01:57:33,000
The event will feature tree planting and refreshments for residents.

1869
01:57:33,000 --> 01:57:35,000
We hope to see you there.

1870
01:57:35,000 --> 01:57:37,000
Now it is time for business from the floor.

1871
01:57:37,000 --> 01:57:39,000
We conduct township business.

1872
01:57:39,000 --> 01:57:41,000
You are consistent with the way a business meeting is handled.

1873
01:57:41,000 --> 01:57:45,000
Here each speaker will be allowed up to three minutes.

1874
01:57:45,000 --> 01:57:50,000
To discuss business has relevant to the operation of our true horrific township.

1875
01:57:50,000 --> 01:57:51,000
Sure?

1876
01:57:51,000 --> 01:57:57,000
Good evening, trustees.

1877
01:57:57,000 --> 01:57:59,000
My name is Tom Blackstone.

1878
01:57:59,000 --> 01:58:03,000
I live at 5, 4, 8, 5, 0, Kingsley Drive.

1879
01:58:03,000 --> 01:58:07,000
And I am here to address priority number two.

1880
01:58:07,000 --> 01:58:11,000
Participate in local road improvement funding.

1881
01:58:11,000 --> 01:58:14,000
So I would like to talk about a few things pertaining to...

1882
01:58:14,000 --> 01:58:15,000
I am sorry, number six.

1883
01:58:15,000 --> 01:58:16,000
Two.

1884
01:58:16,000 --> 01:58:17,000
Two.

1885
01:58:17,000 --> 01:58:18,000
Got it.

1886
01:58:18,000 --> 01:58:19,000
Yep.

1887
01:58:19,000 --> 01:58:21,000
Funding is the important.

1888
01:58:21,000 --> 01:58:23,000
The key word in that.

1889
01:58:23,000 --> 01:58:25,000
Michigan...

1890
01:58:25,000 --> 01:58:29,000
The State Michigan distributes road funding through Act 51.

1891
01:58:29,000 --> 01:58:32,000
I think probably most of you are familiar with that.

1892
01:58:32,000 --> 01:58:36,000
And it goes to counties and cities and villages.

1893
01:58:36,000 --> 01:58:38,000
But not to townships.

1894
01:58:38,000 --> 01:58:39,000
Right?

1895
01:58:39,000 --> 01:58:41,000
Okay.

1896
01:58:41,000 --> 01:58:46,000
I think that has to do with the fact that there are 1200 townships in Michigan.

1897
01:58:46,000 --> 01:58:49,000
A lot of them have very small populations.

1898
01:58:49,000 --> 01:58:52,000
Some townships of Michigan have less than 500 people.

1899
01:58:52,000 --> 01:58:59,000
But in South Eastern Michigan you have townships like Shelby and Canton and McComb that have

1900
01:58:59,000 --> 01:59:02,000
80, 90,000 people and more.

1901
01:59:02,000 --> 01:59:09,000
And we are losing out on these Act 51 distributions.

1902
01:59:09,000 --> 01:59:12,000
Now people and there's 80,000 people.

1903
01:59:12,000 --> 01:59:15,000
So in Shelby Township we buy a lot of gasoline.

1904
01:59:15,000 --> 01:59:17,000
We pay a lot of gas tax.

1905
01:59:17,000 --> 01:59:18,000
We buy cars.

1906
01:59:18,000 --> 01:59:20,000
We pay sales tax on cars.

1907
01:59:20,000 --> 01:59:23,000
We renew our license plates.

1908
01:59:23,000 --> 01:59:26,000
That's a lot of money going to the State of Michigan from Shelby Township.

1909
01:59:26,000 --> 01:59:31,000
So I think we have to strive to get some more of that back.

1910
01:59:31,000 --> 01:59:36,000
So I've got just a few three possible solutions.

1911
01:59:36,000 --> 01:59:42,000
One is to work with our legislature with our representatives, our senator.

1912
01:59:43,000 --> 01:59:51,000
Get a lot change so that township, especially populous townships like Shelby, can get Act 51 funding directly.

1913
01:59:51,000 --> 01:59:52,000
Doesn't have to go.

1914
01:59:52,000 --> 01:59:54,000
I guess you do get it in a way through the county, right?

1915
01:59:54,000 --> 01:59:55,000
It's filtered.

1916
01:59:55,000 --> 01:59:59,000
But I don't see any reason why we can't get it right from the state.

1917
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:10,000
Another one, and you may not want to hear this transition to a city of cities, as I said, cities get act 51 distributions.

1918
02:00:10,000 --> 02:00:19,000
Our neighbor to the west, Rochester Hills, has just a few thousand less people than Shelby, got $9 million last year. It's a lot of money.

1919
02:00:19,000 --> 02:00:31,000
And villages get act 51. Our meet a village in the Comcounty, three quarters of a square mile, 1700 people, got over $200,000.

1920
02:00:31,000 --> 02:00:35,000
So there's advantages for being a city.

1921
02:00:35,000 --> 02:00:36,000
30 seconds.

1922
02:00:36,000 --> 02:00:37,000
Pardon me?

1923
02:00:37,000 --> 02:00:38,000
Yeah, 30 seconds.

1924
02:00:38,000 --> 02:00:39,000
Okay, thank you.

1925
02:00:39,000 --> 02:00:40,000
Yeah.

1926
02:00:40,000 --> 02:00:41,000
I'm almost done.

1927
02:00:41,000 --> 02:00:44,000
Another thing we could do, this is the last thing.

1928
02:00:44,000 --> 02:00:50,000
And act a road-funding village, a road-melage. Now we have a police village.

1929
02:00:50,000 --> 02:00:53,000
We have a fire village. There's a precedent for this.

1930
02:00:53,000 --> 02:00:57,000
I don't know. Over the last 50 years, I've owned three different houses.

1931
02:00:57,000 --> 02:01:02,000
I've replaced roofs, furnaces, air conditioning systems.

1932
02:01:02,000 --> 02:01:06,000
I've paid, it's spent $25,000 a water proof for one of my basements.

1933
02:01:06,000 --> 02:01:12,000
So I didn't want to spend a lot of money, but I had to do it because my property is going to deteriorate if I didn't do it.

1934
02:01:12,000 --> 02:01:15,000
That's all I have to say. I think if you're attention.

1935
02:01:15,000 --> 02:01:18,000
You know, thank you for coming in. I'm so glad you brought this up.

1936
02:01:18,000 --> 02:01:23,000
Anyway, just you can be seated. I get long-winded.

1937
02:01:23,000 --> 02:01:28,000
But when you look at the top 10 priorities, you can see that three or four.

1938
02:01:28,000 --> 02:01:31,000
I think four are actually roads.

1939
02:01:31,000 --> 02:01:34,000
So when people fill this out, they want to see better roads.

1940
02:01:34,000 --> 02:01:38,000
So your comments are right on. Let me just talk about act 51.

1941
02:01:38,000 --> 02:01:43,000
So all the folks out there, the reason we call it, the reason it's called act 51

1942
02:01:43,000 --> 02:01:47,000
is because it was an act put in place in 1951.

1943
02:01:47,000 --> 02:01:56,000
And what it is is it gives awards money to every county by linear mileage.

1944
02:01:56,000 --> 02:02:02,000
So whether it's a 10 lane highway or a two lane highway, it's the same number of dollars.

1945
02:02:02,000 --> 02:02:11,000
So we are very unfairly treated. For one mile, we get the same money that they do up north for two lane highway.

1946
02:02:11,000 --> 02:02:14,000
I've got an uncle Liz and up north.

1947
02:02:14,000 --> 02:02:18,000
And he says, you know, every three years, they tear this road apart.

1948
02:02:18,000 --> 02:02:20,000
It's a beautiful road. Why do they do that?

1949
02:02:20,000 --> 02:02:22,000
Because they want to keep getting the funding.

1950
02:02:22,000 --> 02:02:25,000
And here we are trying to, we're striving.

1951
02:02:25,000 --> 02:02:28,000
We're trying to get by trying to get as much money as we can.

1952
02:02:28,000 --> 02:02:30,000
But just to show you how bad this is.

1953
02:02:30,000 --> 02:02:34,000
I'm talking about the road situation. In Shelby Township alone,

1954
02:02:34,000 --> 02:02:39,000
we've got 72 miles of local roads.

1955
02:02:39,000 --> 02:02:44,000
Not many roads. Local roads rated a one or two out of five.

1956
02:02:44,000 --> 02:02:47,000
One or two means total reconstruction.

1957
02:02:47,000 --> 02:02:52,000
So in order to do total reconstruction for a mile, it's about two million dollars.

1958
02:02:52,000 --> 02:02:55,000
So that means we need about 280 million dollars.

1959
02:02:55,000 --> 02:03:03,000
Just in Shelby Township to get our roads up to a to a point where they don't need to be almost dirt roads.

1960
02:03:03,000 --> 02:03:05,000
So it's nothing right home about.

1961
02:03:05,000 --> 02:03:09,000
But if we had 280 million dollars, our roads would be about a sea.

1962
02:03:09,000 --> 02:03:12,000
But right now, I'm talking about local roads or about a sea.

1963
02:03:12,000 --> 02:03:17,000
Now, if that's Shelby Township, multiply that by 27 communities in Macomb.

1964
02:03:17,000 --> 02:03:23,000
That would come up to about 3.5 billion dollars just for local roads.

1965
02:03:23,000 --> 02:03:27,000
To get them to a functioning level.

1966
02:03:27,000 --> 02:03:28,000
Three billion dollars.

1967
02:03:28,000 --> 02:03:34,000
Now, the governor is coming up with his big plan of 1.5 billion dollars for the whole state.

1968
02:03:34,000 --> 02:03:41,000
So it's well short of the needs of the townships and cities across the state.

1969
02:03:41,000 --> 02:03:43,000
And where this money's going to come from?

1970
02:03:43,000 --> 02:03:44,000
I don't know.

1971
02:03:44,000 --> 02:03:47,000
But every single year we're losing ground.

1972
02:03:47,000 --> 02:03:52,000
Last year, we had 70 miles a road that needed total reconstruction.

1973
02:03:52,000 --> 02:03:56,000
This year of 72, next year it'll be 76 or 77.

1974
02:03:56,000 --> 02:04:04,000
And I would ask the state to at least reverse that trend and provide money for all the cities in all the townships.

1975
02:04:04,000 --> 02:04:08,000
So that we can reverse the trend because we're going in a wrong direction.

1976
02:04:08,000 --> 02:04:11,000
And in one final point I want to make is Shane or Road.

1977
02:04:11,000 --> 02:04:15,000
Now, I know we've got funding from 23 to 25 mile road.

1978
02:04:15,000 --> 02:04:20,000
But there's a bridge between 25 and 26 mile road that needs to be reconstructed.

1979
02:04:20,000 --> 02:04:24,000
So the planning commission or should say the road commission is set aside.

1980
02:04:24,000 --> 02:04:29,000
Six and a half million dollars to reconstruct Shane or Road to make it a three lane highway.

1981
02:04:29,000 --> 02:04:31,000
Because right now it's a country road.

1982
02:04:31,000 --> 02:04:33,000
And it's a dangerous road.

1983
02:04:33,000 --> 02:04:34,000
And we have access there.

1984
02:04:34,000 --> 02:04:36,000
And someone's going to get killed.

1985
02:04:36,000 --> 02:04:39,000
And it's almost happened actually eight months ago.

1986
02:04:39,000 --> 02:04:43,000
But that bridge has to be replaced before anything gets done.

1987
02:04:43,000 --> 02:04:46,000
And that's a four million dollar expense.

1988
02:04:46,000 --> 02:04:49,000
So where's that money going to come from?

1989
02:04:49,000 --> 02:04:54,000
Well, I've been told that there's not a lot of money or no money right now in the bridge fund for the state.

1990
02:04:54,000 --> 02:05:01,000
So that's six and a half million dollars that they set aside for Shane or between 25 and 26 mile road.

1991
02:05:01,000 --> 02:05:06,000
If that bridge doesn't get done, that money is going to be redirected elsewhere.

1992
02:05:06,000 --> 02:05:09,000
Probably to another township or to another city.

1993
02:05:09,000 --> 02:05:13,000
So yeah, we are very, very short of money.

1994
02:05:13,000 --> 02:05:18,000
And it's a state of Michigan that provides a money to the county that provides a money to the township.

1995
02:05:18,000 --> 02:05:22,000
Now, I don't totally agree with the system of handing out the money.

1996
02:05:22,000 --> 02:05:29,000
But because there's so few dollars involved, you know, we're beginning now to look very carefully as a

1997
02:05:29,000 --> 02:05:31,000
How this money is given out.

1998
02:05:31,000 --> 02:05:35,000
And, you know, I'm not going to judge right now.

1999
02:05:35,000 --> 02:05:41,000
But I think the Road Commission is really putting a good effort toward finishing Shane or

2000
02:05:41,000 --> 02:05:43,000
And I'm happy about that.

2001
02:05:43,000 --> 02:05:46,000
And they've already started the environmental study.

2002
02:05:46,000 --> 02:05:49,000
So it's a great great topic.

2003
02:05:49,000 --> 02:05:50,000
It's all about roads.

2004
02:05:50,000 --> 02:05:52,000
If you don't have roads, you don't have commerce.

2005
02:05:52,000 --> 02:05:54,000
And if you don't have commerce, you don't have a township.

2006
02:05:54,000 --> 02:05:56,000
So I hope the state comes up with some money.

2007
02:05:56,000 --> 02:06:00,000
And as far as us owning the roads, it's not viable.

2008
02:06:00,000 --> 02:06:03,000
We'll never be able to come up with that amount of money.

2009
02:06:03,000 --> 02:06:05,000
So I hope to answer these questions.

2010
02:06:05,000 --> 02:06:10,000
Oh, by the way, we are working very closely with a legislative branch.

2011
02:06:10,000 --> 02:06:12,000
Doug Wazanx have been great.

2012
02:06:12,000 --> 02:06:15,000
The road commission I know has been up to lancing a few times.

2013
02:06:15,000 --> 02:06:18,000
I know Mr. Grote knows a lot of people are lancing.

2014
02:06:18,000 --> 02:06:19,000
He's working on it.

2015
02:06:19,000 --> 02:06:24,000
We are pulling every lever, pushing every button we can to get more road money.

2016
02:06:24,000 --> 02:06:27,000
Because we are really, really short.

2017
02:06:27,000 --> 02:06:28,000
There are a lot of needs out there.

2018
02:06:28,000 --> 02:06:29,000
They're not being met.

2019
02:06:29,000 --> 02:06:31,000
So thank you for coming in.

2020
02:06:31,000 --> 02:06:32,000
Okay.

2021
02:06:32,000 --> 02:06:34,000
Anybody else from the public?

2022
02:06:34,000 --> 02:06:37,000
Then I'll take a motion to adjourn.

2023
02:06:37,000 --> 02:06:40,000
Motion made by Mr. Grote.

2024
02:06:40,000 --> 02:06:42,000
That's not going to be by Mr. Remeland.

2025
02:06:42,000 --> 02:06:46,000
All those in favor of adjourning, please signify by saying aye.

2026
02:06:46,000 --> 02:06:47,000
Aye.

2027
02:06:47,000 --> 02:06:48,000
Any opposed?

2028
02:06:48,000 --> 02:06:49,000
This means adjourn.

2029
02:06:49,000 --> 02:06:50,000
Thank you, everybody.

2030
02:06:50,000 --> 02:06:52,000
We'll see you in a couple of weeks.
