the air conditioner on. It's going to

8
00:00:40,239 --> 00:00:48,320
take a couple minutes, but it's going to
kick in soon. So, I'm sorry, but it

9
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:50,879
should be alleviated pretty soon.
So, we're going to start with the

» Include it as part of the public hearing
because we don't normally schedule them

44
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:37,200
and they weren't scheduled.

00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:52,159
engine
I'm sorry.

48
00:03:48,799 --> 00:03:56,560
» Keystone engineering. Okay.
>> So, Keystone Engineering. Thank you. So,

49
00:03:54,239 --> 00:04:01,519
he is going to speak on with um details
on the project and then that whole and

50
00:03:59,599 --> 00:04:04,959
then if anybody who speaks after him
wants to reference what he says or ask

51
00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:09,360
him a question, you're welcome to do
that. Okay. So, thank you. Please. So,

52
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:13,680
he has some diagrams, drawings, and
everything. So, he's going to make a

53
00:04:10,799 --> 00:04:21,120
short presentation um before we begin
with the questions. Okay. So, yes.

54
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:24,720
» Um,
so yeah, the last time they showed us

55
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,759
first and then kind of took or if you
want to just hold it and try and just

56
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:32,240
show us and show the audience at the
same time, that's good too. The camera,

57
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:35,960
we also do a video, so the camera is in
that direction as well.

58
00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:42,800
» Thank you.
>> Hi, my name is Matt Row. I'm with

59
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:51,600
Keystone Associates. I'm representing
Germit Singh. Um we have a gas service

60
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:56,960
station with a 6500 square foot
convenience store.

61
00:04:54,320 --> 00:05:03,280
Um
it is located there. Um we have gas

62
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:09,440
tanks along the front northern side with
two entrances off of the Vestal Parkway

63
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:16,000
East and one entrance out the back on
Walter L Road.

64
00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:24,800
Um, and there is also electric service
vehicle stations right there with

65
00:05:20,479 --> 00:05:28,880
a drive-thru on the east side.
>> You want to show that?

66
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:33,919
» And then, um, the building is here with
the gas pumps up front along Vestal

67
00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:40,160
Parkway. Um, an entrance and an exit
onto Vestal Parkway.

68
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:47,960
an entrance and exit onto Walter L Road
and a drive-thru on this side.

69
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,960
» Thank you.

70
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:53,960
» Thanks.
>> Okay.

71
00:05:54,880 --> 00:06:00,800
» Okay. So, it's open to members of the
audience, residents first. We do have

72
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:05,000
certain rules. So, I'm just going to
read the rules first. Um,

73
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:15,840
I'm just going to make it short. So,
basically, please just be respectful of

74
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:21,440
everybody in the room. Okay. Um, we do
ask you to keep your comments to 3

75
00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:26,240
minutes. Um, and uh, we do ask you to
speak in entirety and if we or somebody

76
00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:29,840
else answers you, we're going to answer
you at the end of that time period.

77
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:35,280
Okay? So if you have multiple questions,
ask them and then we'll respond

78
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:40,520
afterwards. Okay. Would any any resident
like to speak first? Yes, please.

79
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,520
Is it on? No.

80
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:53,160
And you can bend it down a little bit if
you like to. Thank you.

81
00:06:53,759 --> 00:06:56,759
Okay.

82
00:06:59,199 --> 00:07:07,520
Thank you. Thank you.
>> Hello. My name is Jennifer Monahan. I am

83
00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:11,440
a resident of the Imperial Woods
neighborhood and I am here today, it

84
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:15,919
looks like, but joined by a lot of my
neighbors that ended up signing one of

85
00:07:13,039 --> 00:07:21,199
our petitions uh specifically opposing a
gas station at 1016 Vestal Parkway East.

86
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:25,759
Um the neighborhood and I submitted two
notorized petitions to the town um

87
00:07:23,919 --> 00:07:29,520
regarding this. Both were received on
August 5th and one was updated and

88
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:36,000
received today showing unanimous
opposition of all homeowners within

89
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:39,680
residences zoned within 100 ft. Um, so I
wanted to speak today about the gas

90
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:43,919
station and how it's going to affect our
neighborhood. From my research, I can't

91
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:48,160
find a single other incident in the
entire town of Vestal where a gas

92
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:53,520
station is within 50 ft of residential
homes, let alone 25 ft. And I'm saying

93
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:58,319
25 ft because I went out and measured
and from Walter Road to my property at

94
00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:03,680
10:05 Imperial Woods Drive, it's 21
feet. That's all. And we're talking

95
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:08,960
about a potentially 24hour 7-day a week
business here that's servicing thousands

96
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:13,360
of customers, not hundreds, thousands,
drawing them off of a very heavy

97
00:08:11,039 --> 00:08:16,960
interstate parkway system in addition to
the university. And just speaking to

98
00:08:15,199 --> 00:08:20,400
this plan today that I'm seeing for the
very first time, I noticed the

99
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:25,440
drive-thru is specifically facing the
residences on Walter Road, which I find

100
00:08:22,879 --> 00:08:30,479
to be very irresponsible. That canopy is
going to have to be zoned at least 16 ft

101
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:33,680
off the ground and 247 lighting. Those
lights are going to come directly in my

102
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:39,680
bedroom windows, my neighbors bedroom
windows, illuminating our decks, our

103
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:45,040
entire properties all night, 365 days a
year, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.

104
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:49,200
Also, the drive-through traffic it looks
like will be sweeping back there and

105
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:54,880
looping out onto Walter Road, which is
massively disturbing because Walter Road

106
00:08:51,279 --> 00:08:58,560
has no curbs, no drainage, and is 21 ft
wide. There are not even sidewalks back

107
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:02,959
there. It's a popular place for people
to walk their strollers and their dogs.

108
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:08,800
If we are now competing with gas station
traffic, two cars coming at each other,

109
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:12,800
opposing directions, no sidewalks, no
curbs, and it's 21 feet wide, and we

110
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:16,880
have a lady with a baby and a dog. I
don't see how we're not going to have

111
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:22,800
incidencies back there.
Um, I also wanted to speak to the fact

112
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:27,279
the Vestal Town Code 24-385,
which governs vehicle service stations,

113
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:32,320
specifically prohibits vehicle service
stations from being within 100 ft of a

114
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:37,839
resident's district unless twothirds of
those uh homes approve it. I furnished

115
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:42,880
the town unanimous opposition from all
homes within that 100 ft. It is signed

116
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:47,040
and notorized that it is completely
opposed. Additionally, the town code

117
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:52,640
says people within 500 feet can get a
vote if he gets 50% I have more than 50%

118
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:57,760
of the people within 500 ft on the maps
I provided you. That's map two. um that

119
00:09:55,839 --> 00:10:01,440
also are in opposition. And I just want
to bring up again, I really hope you

120
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:06,160
will protect our neighborhood because
we're talking about a 57 decel limit for

121
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:10,800
a commercial property versus crossing
into a residential district that at

122
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:14,560
night we can only have 50 dB of noise.
I'm also very concerned about water

123
00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:18,560
runoff and drainage from the gas station
touching our properties. That's flat

124
00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:23,040
land. I called my homeowners insurance
and if we had floods like in 2011 when

125
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:27,040
massive properties were flooded, if gas
station runoff touches a wooden home, I

126
00:10:24,959 --> 00:10:30,640
was told it would be condemned. So now
we're worried about condemning things in

127
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:36,320
a time of climate change and we have
wildly fluctuating weather. I had one

128
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:42,320
more big point to make today and that's
that um of the 52 people that signed my

129
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:46,959
petition, we pay 2,900
$290,148

130
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:52,240
to this town and school district per
year. Just the 52 residents that signed

131
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:57,519
the petition and it is a known fact that
gas stations can diminish home values by

132
00:10:54,399 --> 00:11:03,760
up to 16% to people within 500 ft. This
is documented and studied. It is online.

133
00:10:59,839 --> 00:11:08,000
Our own DEEC and um I can't think of the
exact person that published that, but it

134
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:11,279
is online if you literally Google
governmental studies.

135
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:14,320
» Okay. I'm I'm just going to have to ask
you to wrap it up. Okay.

136
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:18,240
» Yep. And the last thing I wanted to say
is that um it's this is going to

137
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,959
completely change the neighborhood of
the character the character of the

138
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:25,600
neighborhood. This is going to make it
feel like we're on the Parkway. There is

139
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:29,360
no amount of barrier or anything that
you could do to protect our properties

140
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:34,000
from this gas station noise, lighting,
and contaminants of xylene, benzene, you

141
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:36,959
name it. So, I hope you vote to help us
out and protect the neighborhood. Thank

142
00:11:35,839 --> 00:11:42,839
you.
>> Thank you very much. Does any other

143
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,839
resident wish to speak?

144
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:55,200
» Still on then? Uh, William Mitchell,
Imperial Woods Drive.

145
00:11:52,240 --> 00:12:03,040
Uh this is the first time seeing the map
where there is where they're showing the

146
00:11:57,839 --> 00:12:06,959
uh exit out onto Walter and also the
first time I've heard that there's also

147
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:11,440
going to be a drive-thru there. Uh as
mentioned before, this is a quiet

148
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:15,120
residential neighborhood. Uh there's no
shortcuts to get to anywhere else. The

149
00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:19,920
only people coming up into the
neighborhood are the people who live

150
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:28,000
there. Uh this would completely change
that. Walter is a narrow road uh fronted

151
00:12:24,079 --> 00:12:32,240
or rather backed by uh several houses.
It it the traffic would become

152
00:12:29,839 --> 00:12:37,600
horrendous. You might as well put on the
parkway. There's no need for a gas

153
00:12:34,959 --> 00:12:42,000
station there. Uh we had one on that
side of the parkway down by the Morabido

154
00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:46,800
which went out of business uh for lack
of customers. Uh the same thing could

155
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:49,360
happen here. Uh as far as the drive-thru
part, I have no idea what they're going

156
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:53,680
to be doing with the drive-thru. you
going to be selling alcohol through the

157
00:12:50,800 --> 00:13:00,240
drive-thru or is that just going to be
sandwiches also in addition to the

158
00:12:55,680 --> 00:13:06,240
normal uh gas station stuff? Uh 24 hours
worth of lighting is going to go right

159
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:13,920
into my front uh my front yard into my
kids bedroom windows.

160
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:18,639
The whole idea uh is a farce. There's
absolutely no reason to have a gas

161
00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:25,079
station there. Uh, does the person who
owns this property also own I believe

162
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:25,079
it's 917 Imperial Woods

163
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:30,000
» on Beachwood.
>> Beachwood.

164
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:34,920
» Okay.
Imperial Woods Drive. Yeah. Yeah. The

165
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,920
97.

166
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:41,680
» Pardon?
>> Uh, no. I I said I asked you could ask

167
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:45,360
questions but uh if it is the same
person I have heard that it's the same

168
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:49,440
person who owns 917 Imperial which was
diagonally across the street from me. Uh

169
00:13:47,519 --> 00:13:53,360
if that's
if the way he maintains his property is

170
00:13:51,519 --> 00:13:58,959
any indication of how he would maintain
that property if it is the same person

171
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:06,800
then the place would become
an eyesore quickly. Uh

172
00:14:03,279 --> 00:14:10,880
I ask you to vote against this. do not
approve the waiver. It's not what the

173
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:16,560
people who moved in that neighborhood
want. It's not why we bought houses in

174
00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:20,800
that neighborhood. Uh
they're finally getting a large number

175
00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:25,440
of children back into that area after
the boomers kind of moved out some. It's

176
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:29,199
not the kind of environment want the
kids around. Um, and especially after

177
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:35,440
you brought up the concerns with the
hotel there, we don't need part two

178
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:42,880
where now the residents are going to
have quick, easy access to beer and

179
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:48,880
other kinds of spirits. Um, thank you.
>> Thank you. Does Would any other resident

180
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:53,199
like to speak?
thing.

181
00:14:49,839 --> 00:14:56,800
» Um, so there's there's another woman who
wants to speak first and then at the end

182
00:14:55,279 --> 00:15:01,240
we can let you let wrap it up a little
bit. Um, ma'am, did you want to speak?

183
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,680
» We can get the microphone to you. Glen,
would you mind?

184
00:15:04,399 --> 00:15:09,760
» That's not good.
>> We we can get we can get the microphone

185
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:13,000
to you.
Thank you.

186
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:22,160
» We have lived on Imperial Woods Drive
for over 50 years. And when we moved in,

187
00:15:18,959 --> 00:15:28,079
that was the place to live. I mean, you
know, now there's other places and it's

188
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:36,000
not as desirable as it was, but I walk
my dog every single day down Walter L

189
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:42,480
Road with a walker. And that road is not
kept up. It is broken up. There's

190
00:15:39,519 --> 00:15:47,440
potholes in it. And if you did this,
who's going to be responsible for

191
00:15:44,399 --> 00:15:53,040
keeping that road up? cuz it is a mess.
Now, I don't know if any of you have

192
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:58,160
walked down it or driven down it, but it
I mean I have no place else to walk.

193
00:15:54,959 --> 00:16:02,800
Like you said, we have no no walk or uh
sidewalks in our neighborhood. So, I

194
00:16:00,399 --> 00:16:11,360
walk down there and I've done it for 50
years with baby strollers, dogs, and I'd

195
00:16:08,639 --> 00:16:18,000
like to know who would keep up that road
so it is in good condition. And I'm not

196
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:21,440
for that, but I just if it does go
through, I'd like to know who's

197
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:25,600
responsible for the road.
>> Okay. Thank you. Um, can I just ask you

198
00:16:23,839 --> 00:16:29,279
one more thing? Um, and it was my fault
because I didn't say it. Traditionally,

199
00:16:27,199 --> 00:16:32,000
we just ask everybody to say their name
and where they live. And you just want

200
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:38,639
to say best, it's fine to
>> Okay. I'm Kathleen Wilcox. We live at

201
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:44,800
1024 Imperial Woods Drive for 52 years.
>> Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

202
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:47,279
» Okay. And sir,
>> thank you. And sir, did you want to

203
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:51,440
talk?
>> Okay.

204
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:56,959
» Yeah. I
Okay, thank you. I think there's another

205
00:16:54,240 --> 00:17:00,560
gentleman behind that, too.
>> Richard Wilcox at 24 Imperial Woods

206
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,480
Drive.
>> Thank you.

207
00:17:01,519 --> 00:17:09,919
» And I can only second what everybody has
said so far tonight. What is the name of

208
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:16,559
the gas station? What is Who is it going
to be? Is that a secret or

209
00:17:13,679 --> 00:17:21,000
» um Well, I we ask you to speak for three
minutes and I'm going to see if I can

210
00:17:17,679 --> 00:17:21,000
look in the paper.

211
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:29,200
» Okay. We just Is that Did you want to
say more stuff because we traditionally

212
00:17:27,199 --> 00:17:34,720
we ask you to speak until you're done
and then we going to try to any then we

213
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:39,120
answer any questions or Okay.
>> try to give an answer afterwards.

214
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:44,799
Another question is how many property
owners are there in this 500 foot

215
00:17:43,039 --> 00:17:48,000
radius?
How many?

216
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:51,679
» 40. All right.
>> Okay. Once again, please just speak to

217
00:17:49,679 --> 00:17:59,600
the board.
>> And are there plans for

218
00:17:55,600 --> 00:18:04,799
fencing or what have you to
kind of screen off this if it goes

219
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:10,880
through?
I know that's a question.

220
00:18:08,559 --> 00:18:16,160
» Okay. Can you repeat that last one, sir?
>> Are the plans for screening to

221
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:20,320
» screen?
>> Okay. Um, thank you. Let me just see if

222
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:26,640
I can answer them. And we don't have a
name in a little bit. Do we?

223
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:30,799
» I mean, we can have discussion
>> things after all hearing just to make

224
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:33,200
comments, make presentations.
>> No, I know. But I don't have a problem

225
00:18:32,799 --> 00:18:36,480
with it.
>> I mean, the applicant's name is G. He's

226
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,480
president.
>> Y

227
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:48,799
» question.
>> Okay.

228
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:54,400
» I don't know.
>> Okay. Um, so

229
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:59,360
we received a letter from a resident
today. Um just before we get to to the

230
00:18:57,120 --> 00:19:02,400
other comment, uh we received a letter
from a resident today and in the answer

231
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:06,400
to the letter, I'll give you what the
town engineer said is that the

232
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:11,679
particulars of the project, including
screening, um will be decided by the

233
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:15,039
planning board. This is before it gets
to the the full the final stages of the

234
00:19:13,679 --> 00:19:21,760
planning board in which those
particulars including entrances and exit

235
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:26,000
to to um to streets. All the particulars
about what driveway is where and

236
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:30,640
screening and all those issues get
decided and finalized at the planning

237
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:34,480
board. Uh and no project goes forward
before it gets finalized at the planning

238
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:39,120
board to the satisfaction of the
planning board members. So it would be

239
00:19:36,559 --> 00:19:44,240
addressed at that point. So, um, we
wouldn't have an answer for you in terms

240
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:49,200
of the name of of the thing at the end
after the residents have pro spoken. If

241
00:19:47,039 --> 00:19:53,440
anybody that represents the company or
the owner wishes to speak and answer

242
00:19:51,120 --> 00:20:00,280
some of those questions, we will ask
them to if they want to. Okay. Does any

243
00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:00,280
other resident wish to speak?

244
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:12,960
» Hello, my name is Jim Evanitzki. I lived
with 1,000 Imperial Woods Drive and I've

245
00:20:09,360 --> 00:20:18,400
been there 25 years and I remember when
that car dealership went in next to the

246
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:22,960
California grill between the California
grill and the motel. They came around

247
00:20:20,799 --> 00:20:28,080
and we signed a waiver that they were
going to maintain that fence on the back

248
00:20:25,679 --> 00:20:33,440
side of their property to stop all that
light from shining. Now there's no fence

249
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:39,280
at all. I'm surprised more of the
residents on Walter haven't complained

250
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:44,000
about that because that was one of the
reasons they got the waiver to open that

251
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:46,400
gas station and keep it lit up at night.
Thank you very much for allowing me to

252
00:20:45,679 --> 00:20:49,520
speak.
>> Thank you. Thank you, Deborah. I

253
00:20:48,159 --> 00:20:53,000
appreciate it. I think there's somebody
else. Is there?

254
00:20:53,919 --> 00:20:56,919
» Okay.

255
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:05,919
» Okay. Thank you. Does any other resident
wish to speak? Okay, she's she's going

256
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:11,000
to come up.
>> Yes. Thank you. Thank you, Deborah.

257
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:23,919
» Okay. All right. I am shaking like a
leaf because this is

258
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:28,480
beyond wrong what they that proposal is
going to do to our neighborhood. It's

259
00:21:25,919 --> 00:21:34,000
that's my backyard. I don't know if any
of you would like that in your backyard.

260
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:36,400
It's like
it's just going to ruin the whole

261
00:21:35,360 --> 00:21:40,000
neighborhood and it's going to
depreciate every single one of our homes

262
00:21:38,559 --> 00:21:44,480
along that way and it's going to
gradually move up and more and more

263
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:49,840
everybody's home is going to be become
less and less as valuable as it is now.

264
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:56,080
I'm getting all choked up because it's
this is horrible. I mean, look at me.

265
00:21:53,280 --> 00:22:02,960
It's not a good thing. and she made me
do it the last two times and I'm doing

266
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:07,840
it on my own this time and um I just
please please don't vote for this. It's

267
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:12,880
just going to ruin our neighborhood in
every way imaginable. I mean somebody's

268
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:18,159
going to get hurt. I mean we're going to
have people walking down from that

269
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:23,679
motel. You've got homeless people in the
trail, the rail trail, that are going to

270
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:27,600
come over to get alcohol at night all
times to get warm during the winter.

271
00:22:25,679 --> 00:22:30,400
Somebody's going to get hurt. And then
we've got people that we don't even know

272
00:22:29,120 --> 00:22:34,080
that are going to come into our
neighborhoods. And not that I I don't

273
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:39,039
care if there's a business coming into
our neighborhood, but just not a gas

274
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:43,280
station, not a 24-hour gas station.
That's just ridiculous. I mean, in every

275
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:48,960
way
I can even think. And I don't that's all

276
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:52,640
I can say. And please guys, don't do it
to us. Please,

277
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:57,440
» ma'am, can you tell us your name?
>> Oh, my name's Antonet Kennedy. I live at

278
00:22:55,120 --> 00:23:00,480
1013 Imperial Ridge Drive, directly
behind that monstrosity.

279
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,000
» Thank you.
>> Thank you.

280
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:07,799
» Um, does any other member of the public
wish to speak? Yes.

281
00:23:08,559 --> 00:23:14,120
» I'll repeat everything. Peter, I know
this guy.

282
00:23:14,559 --> 00:23:22,159
» Peter Dwend on Magnolia Drive. Um, I
guess I'd join everybody's uh opposition

283
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:25,600
to whether this fits within the nature
and character of the neighborhood and

284
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:29,760
the effect that it would have upon the
people that live there. Um, I was just

285
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:33,760
wondering if some of the predicate
conditions have been met. Specifically,

286
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:40,720
there was supposed to be a sworn
notorized statement provided today

287
00:23:36,799 --> 00:23:45,760
would be 50% of the properties within uh
what is it 500 ft and because it's

288
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:50,000
within 100 ft of residential properties,
I think 2/3 of the eight properties that

289
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:55,760
are within 100 ft. So, I don't know if
those were provided today to the board.

290
00:23:52,799 --> 00:23:59,360
» Yeah. Yeah. I think Peter um on the
second question, I don't know about the

291
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:06,640
first the second question about um
whether there's a a predicate

292
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:14,080
requirement that um the uh uh that no
service station shall be built within

293
00:24:09,039 --> 00:24:18,480
100 ft of a residential district. Um
there's a there's two ways to interpret

294
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:25,120
that. What?
>> Really? Okay. All right. Um can you hear

295
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:31,440
me better? Okay. So, so we have put that
question um to the ZBA who provides um

296
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:35,600
interpretation
uh for the benefit of the board because

297
00:24:33,279 --> 00:24:40,960
as you probably know there's two ways to
interpret that. Um, one way to interpret

298
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:48,080
that and it's elsewhere in the code
about situating uh, a station um,

299
00:24:44,902 --> 00:24:53,039
[clears throat] is to measure from the
station the location of the station

300
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:58,720
itself, the building to the residential
district. The map that has been provided

301
00:24:55,760 --> 00:25:02,559
by Keystone Associates, I can't see it
from here, but I looked at it briefly

302
00:25:00,799 --> 00:25:05,760
like when you did when you came in here.
Sure. And it look just to check that

303
00:25:04,159 --> 00:25:10,960
measurement and it looks like it's about
115 feet uh away from if you do measure

304
00:25:09,279 --> 00:25:14,960
from the building to the residential
district it looks like it's about 115 ft

305
00:25:13,360 --> 00:25:19,279
to the road and then I don't know how
wide the road is the road might be 20 ft

306
00:25:17,120 --> 00:25:24,480
or something so it's it's probably like
125 ft from the residential district. Um

307
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:27,919
the other way to measure these um it
would be from

308
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:31,679
uh property line to property line which
it's the same property line so it's zero

309
00:25:29,919 --> 00:25:38,559
um and that definitely would be affected
but um there's there's definitely uh um

310
00:25:36,799 --> 00:25:45,120
there's definitely two schools of
thought that have been presented. Um,

311
00:25:41,120 --> 00:25:52,400
this board uh I I'm told intends to uh
seek uh uh an opinion from uh the ZBA uh

312
00:25:50,159 --> 00:25:59,120
who provides uh that kind of an opinion
not only for ZBA uh matters but also

313
00:25:55,840 --> 00:26:02,640
matters before the town board. Okay. I
had the same thought earlier today and

314
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:06,400
did a little research to try to find the
same thing. Elsewhere in that same

315
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:10,799
section of code, it does talk about it
coming from the the property line

316
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:15,279
itself. And for this particular plan,
there's really no differentiation

317
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:18,720
between the actual physical footprint of
the structure and the business work

318
00:26:17,360 --> 00:26:22,159
that's to be done, particularly because
there's going to be a drive-through

319
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:27,360
window, an overhang, whatever business
is going to happen behind it. Uh, but

320
00:26:25,039 --> 00:26:31,440
» that's a that's a reasonable um uh
point. If there's improvements behind

321
00:26:29,919 --> 00:26:37,520
the uh building, that's another
consideration. As far as elsewhere in

322
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:42,159
the code, um I mean the there is a
measurement standard that's in that

323
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:45,760
section of the code. It pertains to um
being within 250. You're not supposed to

324
00:26:44,159 --> 00:26:51,679
be within a station is not supposed to
be within 250 ft of a school or a

325
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:55,679
church. Um and the measurement standard
that's put in there is from the building

326
00:26:53,200 --> 00:27:00,000
itself to the so there's some precedent
for that measurement uh because it's

327
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:03,360
contained elsewhere in the uh u and
that's not to say I mean as you know

328
00:27:01,360 --> 00:27:07,919
that doesn't mean that there's a special
permit approval by this board. This

329
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:12,640
board has uh discretion but it's a it's
a it's a very relevant factor how that

330
00:27:10,159 --> 00:27:17,520
measurement takes place. But the must
part that's in the code was that today a

331
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:21,919
notorized statement with 50% of the
properties within 500 feet that they

332
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:26,159
have their ascension to or approval of
the project. And it seems to me if that

333
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:30,159
wasn't provided today that they haven't
met the predicate conditions under your

334
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:33,919
own terms and code. I don't know how you
would approve it uh outside of the

335
00:27:31,919 --> 00:27:38,880
finding or the necessary finding that it
somehow meets the uh the well-being and

336
00:27:37,360 --> 00:27:44,039
doesn't devalue the neighboring
properties.

337
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,039
That's all. Thanks.

338
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:53,840
» Well, I mean, just to answer Peter's
question, uh these these are before the

339
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:59,039
these are things that that are going to
be uh um looked into before the board

340
00:27:56,799 --> 00:28:05,679
votes, and it will probably not be
tonight. It'll probably be um when uh

341
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:10,559
the board is an opportunity to uh listen
to all of the comments that are made

342
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:15,039
tonight uh such as yours and uh hear
from the ZBA, get their opinion

343
00:28:13,194 --> 00:28:19,440
[clears throat] and um uh have an
opportunity to review the maps and

344
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:23,840
whatnot. Um so that's what that's what
tonight is for and um and then a

345
00:28:22,159 --> 00:28:28,480
decision will be made and we'll make
sure that um that your questions are

346
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:33,840
addressed.
So I have a question. Can you hear me?

347
00:28:32,159 --> 00:28:43,120
Sorry.
Um so uh number one um

348
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:46,559
does it come back to the town board
after the planning board after the

349
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:52,159
zoning board? Sorry.
>> Yes. So um

350
00:28:49,679 --> 00:28:59,760
so the procedure um the supervisor is
asking specifically about the procedure.

351
00:28:54,559 --> 00:29:04,285
Um there's kind of a dual track um to in
order to get a service station uh

352
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:11,760
approved. Um the applicant
[clears throat] would have to um have to

353
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:18,640
seek approval, seek a a special uh use
permit from this board, from the town

354
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:23,679
board. Okay. Um and the applicant would
also have to get uh through the planning

355
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:28,559
board. the planning board uh is more
concerned with the site plan, the

356
00:29:26,559 --> 00:29:33,840
buffering. Sometimes the planning board
says, "No, we don't like that back exit

357
00:29:30,799 --> 00:29:37,360
off of the uh onto Walter." You can
maybe the planning board says, "Uh yeah,

358
00:29:36,159 --> 00:29:42,399
if you're up, you know, if you're up
against the parkway and you've got an

359
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:47,360
appropriate buffer uh behind the
station, that's fine. Uh maybe they have

360
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:53,279
comments on drive-thru activity. maybe
they have they have that those types of

361
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:58,399
mitigating um uh considerations when
it's before the planning board. But um

362
00:29:57,039 --> 00:30:03,279
so if it were to go to the planning
board first, the planning board would be

363
00:30:00,799 --> 00:30:08,960
able to approve a site plan. But in this
particular case under the code, if it's

364
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:12,720
a if it's a vehicle service station, uh
the planning the planning board doesn't

365
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:16,799
have the last word. The last word would
be from the town board and the town

366
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:23,200
board has the authority to issue the
special use permit. Also, under uh if

367
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:28,320
they if they deem it appropriate under
conditions such as buffering conditions

368
00:30:25,919 --> 00:30:31,919
and lighting conditions and hours of
operation and all that stuff. So,

369
00:30:30,559 --> 00:30:37,360
there's two boards that are relevant
here. it's the town board um and the

370
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:42,159
special use permit has to be um obtained
or it can't go forward. And the um the

371
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:48,960
planning board and the site plan has to
be uh approved as well. And uh and and

372
00:30:46,399 --> 00:30:55,440
both boards have the ability to impose
uh conditions to protect the uh the

373
00:30:52,000 --> 00:31:01,039
neighborhood conditions. Um and uh and
the town board in particular has the

374
00:30:58,159 --> 00:31:05,480
discretion to either approve with
conditions or deny the application.

375
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,320
» Take the better one.

376
00:31:10,559 --> 00:31:20,159
» Okay. In summary, um just to sum it up a
little bit,

377
00:31:16,399 --> 00:31:23,279
» ma'am, did Yes. Do you want to Oh, can
we get her the

378
00:31:22,159 --> 00:31:26,240
» Oh, I'm sorry, sir.
>> It's quitter.

379
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:31,440
» I apologize.
You know, right down the street next to

380
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:37,840
the where your proposed gas station in
is a motel. And I read in the paper, as

381
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:43,919
any of you could have, in that motel,
there was a guy with a motorcycle and a

382
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:51,919
gas can full of gasoline. And if there's
a gas station right next to that motel,

383
00:31:47,919 --> 00:31:57,440
who knows? And the Indicop Motel, if you
any remember, was recently burned down

384
00:31:54,640 --> 00:32:03,760
by an arsonist and several people were
killed. And so that's another concern,

385
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:12,320
having a gas station right next to a
motel and that houses homeless people

386
00:32:08,559 --> 00:32:17,000
and that kind of parent uh clientele.
Okay. Thank you, sir. I I apologize,

387
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:25,279
» please.
>> My name is Kaspar Rodriguez. I actually

388
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:30,720
live on Walter Road 904. And um I've
been there 40 years since I was a

389
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:34,799
teenager myself. And even even now, all
the traffic that's been added to that

390
00:32:32,399 --> 00:32:38,960
street, we often have semiis have to
back up on the road because they can't

391
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:43,120
clear each other in the width. And a lot
of the people speed down that road when

392
00:32:40,799 --> 00:32:47,919
they come down again out of work or just
cheat cheating the parkway around to get

393
00:32:45,519 --> 00:32:51,760
coming out of California Grill. So, and
my grandkids I like my grandkids were at

394
00:32:50,159 --> 00:32:56,159
my house this weekend and I was like
stay away from the road because there's

395
00:32:53,039 --> 00:33:00,320
just a traffic so crazy nowadays even to
add this to it. We we just want to

396
00:32:58,159 --> 00:33:03,600
register our concerns and we are we are
not interested in having that in that

397
00:33:02,159 --> 00:33:06,320
facility there. Okay.
>> Thank you very much.

398
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:10,880
» Thank you.
>> Uh okay. We're gonna we're gonna have to

399
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:13,679
ask keep it to the one thing.
>> Just one thing. Yeah. Okay. Go ahead.

400
00:33:12,159 --> 00:33:18,799
» I just wanted to make one last comment.
It's Jennifer Monahan at Imperial Woods

401
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:22,720
Drive. Again, um the lot is zoned as C1.
That is resident. That is general

402
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:27,919
shopping. And when you are given
examples online of what is considered a

403
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:31,600
C1 property, you are given examples. It
has to seamlessly blend with the

404
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:36,880
neighborhood. That is what the law says.
And the examples given are barber shops,

405
00:33:34,159 --> 00:33:41,679
bodeas, small convenience stores that
keep regular hours, and doctor's

406
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:45,679
offices. Nowhere does it ever mention a
24-hour gas station that can serve

407
00:33:43,519 --> 00:33:50,080
thousands of customers. That's more
along the lines of a C8 or a B2 zoning

408
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:55,039
from my understanding. Those are heavy
industrial uses that New York State

409
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:59,039
usually gives to gas stations. So, a C1
property is an irresponsible and

410
00:33:57,039 --> 00:34:04,080
inappropriate use in my opinion of that
land. Thank you. And lastly, we would

411
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:08,000
love development there. Just a good
neighbor that would not be 247 with

412
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:11,040
thousands of customers. Something that
would seamlessly blend with the

413
00:34:09,359 --> 00:34:15,760
neighborhood would be appreciated.
>> Thank you. Okay, we're going to try to

414
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:21,240
limit to one one per person. Uh does any
other member any other Yes, sir.

415
00:34:18,240 --> 00:34:21,240
Absolutely.

416
00:34:26,079 --> 00:34:31,839
Um good evening members of the board,
members of the public. My name is Joe

417
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:35,919
Romani. I live at 593 Sequoia Lane in
the Imperial Woods area. My wife and

418
00:34:34,079 --> 00:34:40,720
family have lived there 30 some odd
years. Um I just have to say that uh

419
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:45,359
listening to everyone who has both
factually and indeed even emotionally

420
00:34:42,879 --> 00:34:50,960
spoken here tonight, I concur. This is
not the right fit for this neighborhood,

421
00:34:47,919 --> 00:34:54,639
this is just going to change things and
not for the better. There's been enough

422
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:59,280
change in that area right now. And this
last gentleman who spoke, that's a very

423
00:34:56,159 --> 00:35:02,720
good point. Cars come down Walter and
they they're not stopping for that stop

424
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:06,400
sign. They're blowing out and it's a
choice. When I come down uh airborne,

425
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:10,720
I've got to be careful. The folks on the
left coming out of the former uh Joanne

426
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:15,200
Fabrics parking lot failed to stop at
the stop sign and the other people do.

427
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:20,560
So, you increase the volume of traffic
there, um it's going to be a disaster. I

428
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:25,119
just think that uh you folks ought to
look at this very hard and very long and

429
00:35:22,720 --> 00:35:28,160
very soularchingly. And uh I agree with
the folks who have spoken here. This is

430
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:31,680
not right this neighborhood. But thank
you all very much.

431
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:35,079
» Okay. Thank you. Does any other resident
wish to speak?

432
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:43,320
» Does it does a representative for um the
proposed business wish to speak?

433
00:35:50,000 --> 00:36:00,560
» Good evening board members.
Uh can you hear me? I can hear you.

434
00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:06,480
» Okay. So, I am the applicant of 1016
West Parkway East. Uh our main concern

435
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:11,040
is for the neighbors and that's why we
are here today to listen to them so we

436
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:16,079
can address the issues
and

437
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:21,680
I would like um little more time before
it gets voted on so we can address those

438
00:36:19,119 --> 00:36:24,320
issues with our engineers and our
attorneys.

439
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:28,320
» Okay. Thank you very much.
>> Thank you.

440
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:32,880
Um, okay. If is there anybody else that
wishes to speak?

441
00:36:31,119 --> 00:36:38,400
Okay.
Okay. I'm going to just give me one

442
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:41,920
second. So, yes. So, we're I'm I'm going
to explain in a second. So, um we're

443
00:36:40,240 --> 00:36:45,599
going to close the public hearing then
the open section of the public hearing.

444
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:53,280
And I just want to address it. I want to
summarize what um Dan Reynolds, our town

445
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:56,400
attorney, said. So, um, in number one, I
appreciate everybody being here this

446
00:36:54,800 --> 00:37:00,240
evening.
Every member of the town board has heard

447
00:36:58,079 --> 00:37:07,920
your opposition to the project, all of
your concerns. We understand it. Um, and

448
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:13,040
and we and we appreciate you coming
here. We have the petitions, both

449
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:17,359
versions of the petitions, um, in
consultation with our town attorney, um,

450
00:37:15,599 --> 00:37:23,920
and in discussions with the residents up
until now. uh we were under the belief

451
00:37:20,720 --> 00:37:30,640
that um that the that it was within the
100 ft. Um however, it isn't. Now, that

452
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:36,720
being said,
um we need to take a look at it again

453
00:37:33,359 --> 00:37:41,440
and it has to go back to uh the town
board in a minute is going to referral

454
00:37:39,359 --> 00:37:46,800
and Dan just referred to that. We're
going to refer it to the zoning board.

455
00:37:43,839 --> 00:37:50,800
They're going to go over the specifics
of it and double check all of the

456
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:54,079
legalities.
Then it's going to go to them. And there

457
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:58,880
were many there were a lot of concerns
about the planning and things that are

458
00:37:56,240 --> 00:38:04,880
involved particulars with the project.
Um so it may or may not go to them. It

459
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:10,160
cannot get passed before it comes back
to us. Okay? This project cannot be

460
00:38:08,079 --> 00:38:15,920
approved fully before it comes back to
us. So, nobody can approve it until it's

461
00:38:14,079 --> 00:38:21,200
going to come back to us. But the
legalities must be checked. Um, every

462
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:28,400
members of the town board, we represent
you, okay? We understand that and but we

463
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:32,160
also have to follow all the regulations.
So, we're sending it back for all those

464
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:36,400
considerations for everybody to take a
look at it. When he referred to Gina,

465
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:42,240
that's the attorney for the planning for
the zoning board. So they are going to

466
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:47,680
be talking about all of the legalities.
It cannot be approved before coming back

467
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:52,240
to us and coming back here. Okay. Can't
get the special permit without us. So

468
00:38:50,240 --> 00:38:58,240
there is no way it can get approved in
any other way. Um we are going to table

469
00:38:54,800 --> 00:39:03,440
it I believe correct. We are going to
table it for this evening so that those

470
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:08,400
legalities can be double checked and
then eventually it will come back to the

471
00:39:05,359 --> 00:39:13,599
town board for the final vote. Okay. So
once again, it's not going to get

472
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:18,079
approved before we see it again. Okay.
Uh but we have to do that. We can't do

473
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:22,400
it because what our understanding before
is not what is correct. Now everybody

474
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:29,119
brought brought up particular issues
too. Um which we all literally listed um

475
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:34,480
and Dan took note of as well and we're
going to put those questions, issues and

476
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:37,839
concerns to both of our boards which is
the planning and the zoning. Okay. So,

477
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:42,079
they're going to be talking about that
and eventually it's going to come back

478
00:39:39,599 --> 00:39:47,280
to us and again cannot get approved
cannot get the special permit without

479
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:52,240
coming back here to us. Okay.
Um

480
00:39:49,359 --> 00:39:58,640
uh did well the public com Yes.
>> So the the Yeah, the public comment

481

00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:06,320
» Okay.
Yeah, you are out of order in the

483
00:40:05,359 --> 00:40:11,200
question, but let me see if I can
address it. So it would come back to us

484
00:40:09,119 --> 00:40:17,760
after all of that is done. So it comes
back to us at the end. Um, but that's

485
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:20,880
that's all I'm going to say for now. So
hopefully everybody understands. Feel

486
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:24,880
free to wait until the end of the
meeting. I'll be glad to talk to you

487

Thank you. Is it on? Yeah. Show by
Agnesar 87 Stone Hedge Drive. Uh, more

539
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:54,240
of a question. It's a vehicle service
permit. Is that how you phrased it? I

540
00:45:52,720 --> 00:45:57,920
don't have the agenda. That's why I'm
asking.

541
00:45:55,040 --> 00:46:00,400
» Yes. No, it's okay. Um,
>> it's a vehicle

542
00:45:58,720 --> 00:46:03,119
» vehicle service station special use
permit.

543
00:46:01,119 --> 00:46:08,160
» Vehicle service station. Can you define
that, please? Is that a gas station? Is

544
00:46:05,119 --> 00:46:11,599
that a car maintenance station? What
what is the definition of a vehicle

545
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:16,240
service station? And I believe this is
the old skate estate lot. Am I correct

546
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:19,040
or am I not correct?
>> No.

547
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:22,000
» Okay. Can you can you
>> So do you Yeah. Anything else?

548
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:26,440
» Nope.
>> Okay. So Dan, do you want to speak to

549
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:26,440
it?

550
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:35,000
So

551
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:41,119
» um can you hear me?
[laughter]

552
00:46:39,599 --> 00:46:45,760
» It's not Skate Estate. That was Remember
that was a Williams Auto. They were

553
00:46:42,720 --> 00:46:52,000
given um they were given a special use
permit um a couple months ago. It's the

554
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:54,880
Hillcrest Auto Hillrest collision. So I
think it's it must fall under the

555
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:59,520
definition of a vehicle service station.
if they're going to be working on cars.

556
00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:05,440
It's not a gas station, but they will be
working on uh uh vehicles, either body

557
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:09,920
work or something to that effect. Okay.
>> Okay. Thank you.

558
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:14,839
Any me any other member of the public
wish to speak on that special use

559
00:47:11,839 --> 00:47:14,839
permit?

560
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:24,400
Okay. Um so with that, we're going to
close the public hearing and mentions a

561
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:27,280
seeker. Do we need to do a secret on
this one?

562
00:47:25,839 --> 00:47:31,520
» Okay.
>> We don't have the negative declaration.

563
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:34,520
Do you have the negative declaration?
>> Yeah.

564
00:47:43,839 --> 00:47:47,319
» Okay. Thank you.

565
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:50,920
» Oh, thank you.

566
00:48:09,119 --> 00:48:12,839
No, I appreciate it.

567
00:48:17,359 --> 00:48:22,520
» I guess. Okay. Thank you.

568
00:48:27,359 --> 00:48:37,040
I put in Oh, you know what? Hold on.
Let me try to find it. Sorry. There's

569
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:40,359
one thing we need to do and we have to
do it properly.

570
00:48:56,720 --> 00:49:01,160
Sorry, we're trying to locate a
document.

571
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:18,359
Oh, I found it.

572
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:27,760
Here we go. I got it.
Oh, this is the document I got.

573
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:31,599
Thank you. Because my laptop is dying.
The battery doesn't stay for very long.

574
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:40,000
Thank you.
Okay, so um sorry, we have to do the

575
00:49:34,240 --> 00:49:48,240
secret first. So, this is in regards to
2018 Vessel Road. Um 2013 2018, sorry,

576
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:51,680
Vessel Road. So based upon a thorough
review and examination of the known

577
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:55,599
facts relating to the action is careful
review of all potentially adverse

578
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:59,839
environmental impacts and the entire
record and proceedings relating to the

579
00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:05,119
action as to the date of the adoption of
this res resolution including but not

580
00:50:02,079 --> 00:50:10,559
limited to information included on the
project's environmental assessment form

581
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:15,839
information provided by the applicant
involved and interested agency input and

582
00:50:13,599 --> 00:50:19,839
public input. The board finds that the
action will not have a significant

583
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:24,640
adverse impact on the environment and
that a draft environmental impact

584
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:28,640
statement will not be prepared. So I
need a motion approving a negative

585
00:50:26,319 --> 00:50:32,240
declaration as to the seeker as there
are no large or significant

586
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:34,800
environmental concerns identified with
regard to the local law.

587
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:37,440
» So moved.
>> Thank you Matt and seconded.

588
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:44,240
» Seconded.
>> Thank you Glenn. And any discussion?

589
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:50,000
Okay. So all in favor of
>> Thank you. I any opposed?

590
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:54,800
Thank you. And it's carried. So it's a
negative declaration and then we're

591
00:50:51,440 --> 00:51:00,000
moving on to the actual
special use permit.

592
00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:05,599
So, we have a resolution authorizing
vehicle service station permit use

593
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:09,599
regarding the premises situated at 2813
Veester Road in the town of Vest, New

594
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:14,359
York and being designated as Broom
County Tax Map number 158.10-1-4.1.

595
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:20,880
So, can I have a motion?

01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:47,599
the check. So what?
>> But I mean when it comes in when the

748
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:50,559
check comes in,
>> it's going to be the $200 and some odd

749
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:57,200
dollars is going to be subtracted from
the $1,900. Yes. They're only going to

750
01:02:52,319 --> 01:02:59,520
get the 900 round about $900 difference.
>> Right. Okay.

751
01:02:57,839 --> 01:03:03,280
» So they're going to get the exact dollar
amount of the grant award.

752
01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:05,200
» Right. That I just wanted to clarify
that. Thank you.

753

757
01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:33,039
seeker.
>> Thank you. So can I have a motion?

758
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:36,079
» So moved. Thank you Sue and seconded.
>> Seconded.

759
01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:41,760
» Uh thank you Glenn. And in the
discussion part, um so since our Monday

760
01:03:39,839 --> 01:03:48,880
discussions are not taped and not
everybody reads our minutes, um I want

761
01:03:44,559 --> 01:03:56,640
to make clear to um to everybody that
the um the Arnold Park carousel project

762
01:03:53,920 --> 01:04:04,920
is in process. So, he we have two
different grants that we have awards of

763
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:04,920
um and they total $525,000.

764
01:04:05,359 --> 01:04:11,440
The first and they are going to go
towards the building of the structure

765
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:18,160
for the carousel. So, that is an
inclusive project. Um the town personnel

766
01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:22,880
are working on the whole project. Um so
that is included as inind funds but is

767
01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:28,319
actually no out-ofpocket expense for
anybody.

768
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:33,359
Um that being said, um our town engineer
notified us that there is that the costs

769
01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:38,319
are going to be more than we thought. So
the board discussed it on Monday and we

770
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:44,079
are trying to do this project without
any tax money. So um we are going to

771
01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:47,680
continue in process for the project. Um,
however, because we've already been

772
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:53,119
awarded the grants, we are not going to
spend any more money and I have already

773
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:57,839
begun to reach out to get more funding
to make up that $152,000.

774
01:04:56,160 --> 01:05:02,319
So, we will make the decision further
along the road, but personally, I am

775
01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:07,200
confident that we're going to be able to
get more award money, but um, we just

776
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:11,839
want to make the public aware that we're
doing our best. Um, and we're not going

777
01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:17,119
to make any more expenditures until we
assess, verify, and secure more funding.

778
01:05:15,839 --> 01:05:21,440
Does any other board member wish to
comment?

779
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:27,039
Okay. And then we'll discuss it again
publicly as well. Um, so with that, um,

780
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:31,359
so can I have a motion?
>> Oh, we're in discussion. So, is

781
01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:35,799
everybody good for a vote? Okay. So, all
in favor? Hi,

782
01:05:32,799 --> 01:05:35,799
» I

783
01:05:36,480 --> 01:05:42,079
» I
>> sorry. Hi.

784
01:05:38,319 --> 01:05:47,039
» Okay. Thank you. So, any opposed?
>> Thank you, Miss Carrie.

785
01:05:45,039 --> 01:05:51,280
» And next one.
>> 11.4 resolution authorizing the town

786
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:56,480
supervisor to complete all necessary
paperwork and furtherance for Crest

787
01:05:54,160 --> 01:06:00,240
Grant and SAM grant regarding carousel
project.

788
01:05:57,839 --> 01:06:04,079
» Thank you. So, can I have a motion?
>> So, moved.

789
01:06:01,039 --> 01:06:08,000
» Thank you. and seconded.
>> Second.

790
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:10,960
» Thank you, Sue. Any discussion?
>> So again, this is just to complete the

791
01:06:09,839 --> 01:06:14,000
paperwork.
>> So this is this is Yeah. So this is an

792
01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:19,440
additional action. It's not an
expenditure of funds. To clarify, it is

793
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:23,039
in the grant process.
I think we've submitted three different

794
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:29,520
things. You we got the initial
application. Then we did um another set

795
01:06:27,119 --> 01:06:34,960
of paperwork for the grant within the
grant process and then we we now have to

796
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:38,559
go to a whole another set of things. So
this is for the paperwork involved. It's

797
01:06:36,799 --> 01:06:42,400
not an expenditure of funds. It's not a
proceeding with the project. It is

798
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:47,599
simply we take care of the paperwork
because if we and if we do not do that

799
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:52,000
we will not get the original grants. So
we have to complete it. Um the board

800
01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:55,599
will consider it again as we get the
results for our outreach for more

801
01:06:53,359 --> 01:06:58,000
funding. So
>> second.

802
01:06:57,440 --> 01:07:01,280
» Okay.
>> Second. Yeah.

803
01:06:58,799 --> 01:07:02,960
» So um so we're going to go to a vote. So
all in favor

804
01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:08,559
» I
>> I Any opposed?

805
01:07:06,799 --> 01:07:10,640
» So this is just to do the paperwork. No
funding.

806
01:07:09,520 --> 01:07:13,920
» I just said that. Yeah.
>> I'm just clarifying that. Okay.

807
01:07:12,319 --> 01:07:18,400
» Mhm.
>> Okay. I'm willing to do the paperwork,

808
01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:21,200
but I have serious reservations. This is
just a vote and we just had the

809
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:23,760
discussion session. So,
>> okay. So,

810
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:28,400
» so do you want to vote?
>> Well, if I am not going to be able to if

811
01:07:26,799 --> 01:07:32,880
I can't express my reservations, then
I'll just vote no. But I was going to

812
01:07:30,799 --> 01:07:39,280
say if it's just for the paperwork and
not anything else, then I would move

813
01:07:36,319 --> 01:07:42,640
forward. But if it's if anything other
than paperwork is going to be done

814
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:46,400
because I want to know that there's
going to be other assistance coming in.

815
01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:50,960
» Okay. Just to clarify, this is past the
discussion phase, but we just I just

816
01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:54,960
clarified in the discussion phase. There
will be no more expenditure of funds is

817
01:07:53,359 --> 01:07:59,920
for the completion of the paperwork
involved with the original grants. Um it

818
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:04,480
makes no more commitment than we had
last week. But if we do not do this

819
01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:11,039
paperwork, then we cannot proceed at
all. Um, our situation as discussed on

820
01:08:07,599 --> 01:08:14,400
Monday was very simply that um, if we
decide not to move forward with the

821
01:08:12,319 --> 01:08:20,480
project for some reason, it will be the
same a month from now as it was last

822
01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:23,520
week. So, um, and we discussed
everything. If anybody wants to read the

823
01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:27,920
minutes, the full discussion is in the
minutes from the Monday meeting. So, are

824
01:08:26,719 --> 01:08:31,040
you comfortable?
>> Yes. I just wanted that clarification.

825
01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:35,199
» Yeah. I I'm not asking for your vote one
way or the other. I'm just simply saying

826
01:08:32,719 --> 01:08:36,480
that's clear. So, Matt, would you like
to vote?

827
01:08:35,839 --> 01:08:40,719

Okay, we don't have any petitions or

01:18:25,040 --> 01:18:29,320
business, but we do have new business.

963
01:18:30,400 --> 01:18:38,480
So, we have four resolutions that are
related to each other. 16.1, 16.2, 16.3,

964
01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:43,600
16.4
or related to the hometown hero banners.

965
01:18:41,840 --> 01:18:47,120
Um, we'll go into the discussion phase
on the first one. I'll read it first.

966
01:18:45,520 --> 01:18:51,520
We'll go with the discussion to explain
a little bit more and then each board

967
01:18:49,360 --> 01:18:57,679
member will vote on each of the four
four resolutions um one at a time

968
01:18:54,159 --> 01:19:02,320
obviously. So um
the first resolution is 16.1

969
01:19:00,480 --> 01:19:07,520
which is a resolution authorizing the
portrait of the honore on the hometown

970
01:19:05,120 --> 01:19:11,760
heroes banners to be formatted
exclusively within a circular shape. So

971
01:19:10,159 --> 01:19:14,080
let's get into the discussion. So can I
have a motion?

972
01:19:13,280 --> 01:19:18,520

>> No, that's not what I'm asking. We're

975
01:19:28,080 --> 01:19:35,520
just going to go into discussion phase
and as I emailed everybody, you would

976
01:19:32,560 --> 01:19:40,960

resolutions.

977
01:19:38,480 --> 01:19:48,880

01:19:52,960 --> 01:19:59,760
But we don't have a second for the
motion. Are we not proceeding?

980
01:19:56,800 --> 01:20:02,480
» We would move on to resolution 16.2.
>> No,

981
01:20:00,640 --> 01:20:06,880
» we cannot we cannot do
>> that's how that's we're not proceeding.

982
01:20:05,360 --> 01:20:11,760
Yeah, we're not we're going to table all
of them then. So we'll go through the

983
01:20:09,040 --> 01:20:15,280
motions if we are okay. Okay, we're
going to have Yep. We're going Yep.

reads that

01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:27,679
» it's I Let me just Let me just uh step
in quickly. Um these are separate

987
01:20:25,679 --> 01:20:31,760

If it doesn't, you need a motion, you

988
01:20:29,760 --> 01:20:38,000

1017
01:22:38,159 --> 01:22:42,800
question was.

1018
01:22:42,080 --> 01:22:45,040

01:22:46,960 --> 01:22:54,520

1021
01:22:51,040 --> 01:22:54,520
» And I was an

1022
01:22:54,880 --> 01:23:01,920
» Okay. Okay. So, with that, we have the
final design of the Hometown Heroes

1023
01:23:00,639 --> 01:23:07,920
banner. So, we're going to move forward
with that program.

1024
01:23:04,639 --> 01:23:12,320
Um just to I also want to say uh thank
you to all our town employees who have

1025
01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:16,400
worked so hard on this project. Um if
any members of the uh if any residents

1026
01:23:14,719 --> 01:23:24,560
do not know what the hometown banner
program is, it is a program where you um

1027
01:23:21,120 --> 01:23:30,560
families sponsor banners um in honor of
their veterans. So it might be um a

1028
01:23:27,600 --> 01:23:36,400
child, it might be a grandfather, it
generally banners go back generations

1029
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:41,440
and the town has facilitated the
creation of a design and this was the

1030
01:23:38,639 --> 01:23:45,600
finalization of that design. So, with
that, um, we want to I want to thank

1031
01:23:44,320 --> 01:23:54,560
everybody who was involved in the
process. And um tonight I voted how the

1032
01:23:50,800 --> 01:23:59,920
town employees voted because I did a
survey and I was able to get um 82 of

1033
01:23:58,800 --> 01:24:06,639
them because we have different
schedules. But um and they put forward

1034
01:24:03,920 --> 01:24:10,800
uh the I double checked the last design
to make sure there weren't any issues,

1035
01:24:08,639 --> 01:24:15,760
but I voted on their behalf tonight
because um that's what they had wanted.

1036
01:24:13,440 --> 01:24:20,719
But um but they also said at the same
time that they would be good with any

1037
01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:28,560
design. Um if you are not familiar with
it, the town the hometown banners are

1038
01:24:24,320 --> 01:24:34,560
hosted um in a lot of towns in Endicott
and everything. It does not cost the

1039
01:24:30,960 --> 01:24:38,880
town or municipality any money. Family
sponsor the banners. The price that we

1040
01:24:36,800 --> 01:24:44,719
we're going to finalize the price, but
the initial price, if we do it in blocks

1041
01:24:41,280 --> 01:24:49,040
of 40, will be $185.
Our highway and parks department will be

1042
01:24:46,960 --> 01:24:54,159
putting up the BL banners every year and
taking them down, so there's no out-of

1043
01:24:50,960 --> 01:24:59,600
pocket cost for the town. Um, and the
banners will stay up for three years at

1044
01:24:56,239 --> 01:25:03,679
a time. So, it's $185 for three years.
And at that point, it would have to be

1045
01:25:01,120 --> 01:25:08,239
renewed or not. and the family would get
the banner back if they choose not to

1046
01:25:05,520 --> 01:25:13,360
renew. So there's really no loss to the
family. So um we are going to continue

1047
01:25:11,120 --> 01:25:18,400
on and we will have put public notice
out as soon as the last mockup is done

1048
01:25:16,560 --> 01:25:25,440
and we will I know that we've had a lot
of inquiries on how to sponsor a banner.

1049
01:25:22,080 --> 01:25:29,679
Um so we will put the information out as
quickly as the company gets back to us.

1050
01:25:28,159 --> 01:25:34,880
So, we're going to move on to the next

1170
01:34:44,320 --> 01:34:48,040
matter of town business?

1171
01:34:48,719 --> 01:35:01,199
» Just two clarification questions. Can
you expand on the eminent domain and the

1172
01:34:55,440 --> 01:35:05,040
second one is the um court court wall
whatever it was. My understanding was

1173
01:35:03,199 --> 01:35:09,920
that the courts are no longer using that
room but maybe I I I wasn't here for the

1174
01:35:07,199 --> 01:35:13,199
Monday um meeting work session so I
apologize. Can you expand on that as

1175
01:35:11,920 --> 01:35:16,080
well?
>> For which one? I I'm just trying to

1176
01:35:14,800 --> 01:35:22,880
understand the second one.
>> Seal the wall seal. Is that

1177
01:35:18,320 --> 01:35:29,440
» Oh, okay. Yeah, absolutely. So, um, no,
I forgot what the first one is.

1178
01:35:25,679 --> 01:35:34,960
» No, no, I can just give.
>> Oh, eminent domain. Thank you.

1179
01:35:33,280 --> 01:35:40,400
Sorry. Thank you. So, the first one is
eminent domain. So, the resolution was

1180
01:35:37,199 --> 01:35:47,360
in regards to um a project in which a
town is expanding a road. um numerous uh

1181
01:35:44,480 --> 01:35:51,600
numerous times the the the town has
tried to contact them going all through

1182
01:35:49,280 --> 01:35:56,000
all the steps and they still have not be
a been able to contact that person. So

1183
01:35:53,760 --> 01:36:00,800
then you go to procedure which is that
there's a procedure where um you where

1184
01:35:58,880 --> 01:36:05,360
the town takes the property with
compensation to the owner um but it has

1185
01:36:03,199 --> 01:36:09,840
to go to court basically to a judge and
then they they have to show why they

1186
01:36:07,199 --> 01:36:14,639
need it. um all the particulars have to
be established and then they can they

1187
01:36:12,560 --> 01:36:19,920
can do a legal document to move towards
it but it's for the expansion of a road

1188
01:36:17,360 --> 01:36:26,560
um and the second one is the court seal
is that um in the new location the court

1189
01:36:23,440 --> 01:36:32,400
does not have traditionally courts I
think always have courts have a court

1190
01:36:28,480 --> 01:36:36,639
seal like behind them um and they they
had originally when they moved they had

1191
01:36:34,719 --> 01:36:44,080
tried to have something it didn't work
out So there is a grant um that is

1192
01:36:40,320 --> 01:36:48,800
available um in the court district. Um
so they're applying for the grant to

1193
01:36:46,080 --> 01:36:53,040
fund a seal that so they can have a seal
like they should. So that's it. So

1194
01:36:51,040 --> 01:36:56,639
they're asking for a grant for it. Um
but they need permission of the town

1195
01:36:54,480 --> 01:37:00,159
because they're inclusive in the town.
So um if you have any other questions

1196
01:36:59,040 --> 01:37:03,199
just wait a couple of minutes.
>> If I could give details on the eminent

1197
01:37:01,679 --> 01:37:05,840
domain.
>> So

1198
01:37:03,840 --> 01:37:10,159
» just more detail on it. So, the imminent
domain, there's a bridge on Baker Hill

1199
01:37:08,639 --> 01:37:15,199
Road as it comes off of Tracy Creek
Road. Tracy Creek runs under the bridge

1200
01:37:12,719 --> 01:37:20,639
and that bridge is in it needs to be
replaced. But the new bridge is going to

1201
01:37:17,520 --> 01:37:24,400
need a little bit more space to do the
building. So, that's where we're getting

1202
01:37:22,239 --> 01:37:29,600
imminent domain to take a piece of
property. We tried to contact the owner.

1203
01:37:28,400 --> 01:37:34,639
They're having trouble with that. So,
we're going to move it forward because

1204
01:37:31,280 --> 01:37:41,760
the bridge needs to be replaced.
Okay, thank you. So, uh, any other

1205
01:37:38,159 --> 01:37:46,080
member of the P public have a question
or comment?

1206
01:37:44,080 --> 01:37:49,440
» Hello, my name is Jennifer. I am a
Vestal resident and and I just had a

1207
01:37:48,159 --> 01:37:52,560
question for you guys. But first, I
wanted to thank you all for today for

1208
01:37:51,360 --> 01:37:56,159
the attention that you gave to
everybody's concerns and to how you guys

1209
01:37:54,400 --> 01:37:59,520
really listened and just even going down
the agenda. the amount of attention and

1210
01:37:58,000 --> 01:38:04,159
thought you guys put behind your
decisions on most of all I would say all

1211
01:38:02,239 --> 01:38:08,560
of the agenda items. It was really
heartening to see. So, thank you. And my

1212
01:38:06,320 --> 01:38:12,159
question is really just maybe after the
meeting if someone could just clarify

1213
01:38:10,080 --> 01:38:17,119
for me the next steps that I should be
on the lookout for regarding um agenda

1214
01:38:14,880 --> 01:38:22,080
item four with the public hearing uh the
special permanent 1016 Vestal Parkway.

1215
01:38:19,360 --> 01:38:27,119
I'm specifically wondering um the
timeline of how does it move through the

1216
01:38:24,159 --> 01:38:30,880
zoning board or the ZBN review? Like do
we have a ballpark of how long that

1217
01:38:28,639 --> 01:38:35,360
takes or when I should be checking back
for updates?

1218
01:38:33,040 --> 01:38:42,960
» Dan, can you comment?
>> Um I don't know when the next the ZBA

1219
01:38:38,320 --> 01:38:48,480
meets monthly. Okay. Um once a month. So
I don't know who when their next meeting

1220
01:38:45,280 --> 01:38:51,440
is. It is on their website.
tomorrow.

1221
01:38:50,639 --> 01:38:54,880
» Is it tomorrow?
>> Is it on the agenda for tomorrow though?

1222
01:38:52,880 --> 01:39:00,080
Because their agenda isn't normally set.
>> I don't mean it's probably if it's

1223
01:38:58,159 --> 01:39:03,600
tomorrow, they won't have time to render
a decision. So, it'll be the next

1224
01:39:02,400 --> 01:39:07,199
monthly meeting.
>> Okay.

1225
01:39:03,920 --> 01:39:11,360
» And the ZBA will make their decision.
They'll provide an uh some

1226
01:39:09,433 --> 01:39:17,840
[clears throat] advice and an opinion
and then it'll come back to um this

1227
01:39:14,719 --> 01:39:22,080
board. As far as the uh how this project
is is making its way through the

1228
01:39:20,000 --> 01:39:27,040
planning board, you can check the
planning board also meets monthly.

1229
01:39:24,560 --> 01:39:31,600
They're the second Tuesday of every
month and uh [clears throat]

1230
01:39:30,000 --> 01:39:36,320
you can check uh the progress there.
Those are public meetings you can attend

1231
01:39:34,480 --> 01:39:42,400
and there's more uh at those meetings
there's more uh detail about uh the site

1232
01:39:39,760 --> 01:39:48,159
plans and there's and there's discussion
about uh uh like I'd mentioned earlier

1233
01:39:45,040 --> 01:39:51,040
whether um remediation is uh is going to
be recommended by the planning board

1234
01:39:50,080 --> 01:39:54,960
that sort of thing.
>> So like for this Z it's ZVA you said

1235
01:39:54,159 --> 01:39:58,800
it's called
>> it's the zoning board of appeals the

1236
01:39:57,040 --> 01:40:02,800
shortand for zoning board of appeals is
ZBA.

1237
01:40:00,080 --> 01:40:05,360
» Thank you very much. And so is do you
know the public is allowed to attend

1238
01:40:04,320 --> 01:40:07,440
those meetings? Are they allowed to
speak at them as well? Do you

1239
01:40:06,480 --> 01:40:09,280
» want to wait for two minutes? We're
going to wrap it up. We can't do a back

1240
01:40:08,639 --> 01:40:12,239

>> that'd be great. Thank you.

1241
01:40:10,560 --> 01:40:16,000
» Please wait for a minute or two and be
glad to answer any more questions.

» Says, does any other member of the
audience wish to uh make a statement or

1243
01:40:18,800 --> 01:40:26,639
ask a question on town business?
Okay, with that we're going to go move

1244
01:40:24,719 --> 01:40:32,159
