[14:42]
okay so the amendment um will send this
[14:44]
to
[14:46]
you um the amendment to the the plan
[14:50]
um regards the screening requirement in
[14:53]
number five of the amended contract Zone
[14:56]
to state that a minimum 6t High vinyl
[15:00]
Stockade Fence will be installed and
[15:02]
maintained from the southeasterly corner
[15:04]
of the 2bay garage on a cesser parcel
[15:08]
48251 Eastward along the Northerly
[15:10]
border of parcel
[15:12]
48251 a minimum of 45 ft if the 2bay

garage is removed a minimum 6ot High
[15:20]
vinyl Stockade Fence shall be installed
[15:22]
and maintained around the footprint of
[15:23]
the former 2bay
[15:25]
garage and um so in some the effect of
[15:29]
this amendment will be to eliminate the
[15:31]
fence from the sideline of Park Place to
[15:35]
the southwesterly corner of Mr dumas's
[15:38]

[17:16]
one so yes I I'll motion for
[17:18]
reconsideration of the referral of
[17:20]
ordinance 522-2253
[17:28]
[Music]
[17:29]
um I'd actually just like to take a
[17:31]
minute to read an email from one of the
[17:34]
neighbors Lorie Sheek she gave me
[17:36]
permission to read her email um she sent
[17:38]
it to all of us actually back in
[17:39]
February but I think it's it's important
[17:44]
um dear City Council Members while I am
[17:47]
grateful for your handling of the
[17:48]
situation with first church I am
[17:50]
disappointed in the outcome
[17:52]
understandably this needed to be
[17:53]
resolved however the pastor got away
[17:56]
with knowingly ignoring zoning laws and
[17:58]
our requests for for not having traffic
[17:59]
on our Dead End Street ignored our
[18:01]
concern for safety and privacy and did
[18:03]
not in any way shape or form reach out
[18:05]
to us with an offer of a mutual
[18:07]
agreement and acted in an
[18:08]
unchristian-like manner I am
[18:10]
disappointed that a community entity
[18:12]
that is supposed to be Christian has
[18:14]
done everything in their power to defy
[18:16]
the zoning regulations eliminate good
[18:19]
housing for an area in desperate need
[18:21]
and gotten away with it for a few extra
[18:23]
parking spaces I feel we as the
[18:25]
community who live next to this church
[18:27]
have been let down by Ed officials and
[18:30]
put in a bad position our needs were
[18:32]
disregarded and I'm very disappointed
[18:34]
this is nothing less than what the
[18:36]
federal government is dealing with
[18:37]
regarding bullies who pave a path to
[18:39]
their desires and on whoever gets
[18:41]
in their way this decision has set a
[18:44]
terrible precedent I hope the rest of
[18:45]
the city doesn't suffer as a result Lori
[18:49]
Sheek excellent thank
[18:52]
you um okay Patty can I get a roll call
[18:58]
for the reconsideration of the referral
[19:02]
to the planning board um excuse you're
[19:05]
not going to take public comments on
[19:07]
what on this this is number 11 number 11
[19:12]
yes did you call for them no because the mo the previous motion passed so we
[19:17]
this is cleaning up the the referral to
[19:21]
the planning board which is no longer
[19:22]
needed and then it'll be up to the then
[19:24]
the Publican have their so we've never
[19:26]
had a chance to discuss it discuss what
[19:29]
it just went
[19:31]
through what would you like to discuss
[19:34]
I'm sorry we would like to discuss how
[19:36]
was going back to the plan board okay
[19:38]
well please come up then feel feel free
[19:40]
well okay we've already I mean we've
[19:43]
already passed correct the second
[19:46]
reading yeah they have had the
[19:48]
opportunity though like
[19:50]
before I'm just not sure at this point
[19:53]
procedurally what is possible um
[19:58]
the matter on the agenda right now is a
[20:01]
reconsideration of the referral to the
[20:04]
planning board since the council has
[20:06]
passed the amendment to the contract
[20:09]
Zone there is nothing to refer to the
[20:11]
planning board it would be contradictory
[20:14]
but you need to clean up the
[20:22]
record all
[20:26]
right so here we are
[20:34]
so at what point in the process I guess
[20:37]
then should the public have had a chance
[20:39]
to speak like we
[20:40]
normally would allow I I Echo that
[20:45]
question yeah you got a lot of people
[20:47]
here who wish to speak I didn't see any
[20:50]
hands wishing to speak but I so I
[20:52]
apologize um but I don't listen what
[20:57]
would you like to do
[20:59]
your the other the council what would
[21:00]
you what would you like to
[21:04]
do uh bill would you provide some
[21:07]
insight in regards to how we should
[21:09]
proceed we have a we have many of people
[21:11]
here that I believe want to have a their
[21:13]
voice heard on this on this subject and
[21:16]
uh I don't necessarily think that's a
[21:18]
bad thing so if you know it's it's quite
[21:21]
a quite a large amount of people that
[21:23]
want to be heard so some guidance would
[21:25]
be
[21:26]
appreciated well the
[21:29]
motion before you is a motion for
[21:33]
reconsideration of the
[21:35]
referral to the planning board I believe
[21:38]
that's been seconded and
[21:41]
so it's in order to be voted upon if
[21:44]
somebody wishes to speak and the council
[21:46]
wishes to allow it you can but you are
[21:49]
at this
[21:52]
point basically cleaning up the record
[21:56]
the ordinance has been amended I
[21:59]
understand that but prior to the
[21:59]
cleaning up of the record um would the
[22:01]
public be able to to speak prior before
[22:04]
the vote before we voted before the vote
[22:07]
on I mean if it's it's discretionary
[22:09]
with the council if somebody uh from the
[22:12]
audience wishes to address something uh
[22:16]
concerning this they are that's it's entirely up to the council okay
[22:32]
well these are the people we that voted
[22:34]
for us to represent them and I think
[22:36]
they deserve to speak okay
[22:40]
second Nancy but I think we would want
[22:43]
to speak before what what does that mean
[22:46]
where are we that's this is some point
[22:49]
of order here bill can you can you
[22:50]
straighten that out that's not a real
[22:52]
motion you oh you not yes you don't make
[22:54]
a motion to allow somebody speak you the
[22:56]
council has rules that allows people to
[22:59]
address a matter before the council the
[23:02]
matter before the council at the present
[23:03]
moment is a motion to reconsider the
[23:06]
referral to the planning
[23:08]
board and the since the motion to amend
[23:11]
the contract Zone has passed there
[23:14]
obviously is no reason to be sending it
[23:15]
to the planning board there's nothing
[23:17]
for the planning board to report back
[23:20]
on you only have the planning board
[23:22]
giving a recommendation and if in fact
[23:25]
you've got a pending matter
[23:28]
uh to be considered and the council has
[23:31]
amended the contract Zone at this point
[23:34]
but if somebody wish to speak that's uh
[23:38]
the presiding officer can call on
[23:41]
somebody
[23:42]
to somebody has their hand up if they
[23:44]
wish to address the matter but the
[23:47]
actual matter is the reconsideration of
[23:50]
the referral to the planning board so we
[23:54]
have voted on we have taken the second
[23:55]
reading on 52 2020
[23:59]
and we are
[24:02]
now considering whether well we're
[24:05]
cleaning
[24:06]
up the motion for um to send this item
[24:12]
to the planning board it's already been
[24:14]
approved
[24:17]
correct um I just I just want to say
[24:21]
that this matter has
[24:24]
been
[24:26]
already considered by the planning board
[24:28]
at least three times the planning board
[24:31]
voted unanimously to approve the plan um
[24:36]
we've had a further Amendment from the
[24:39]
abutter um which we've added at this
[24:43]
point
[24:46]
um you know this this matter needs to be
[24:49]
concluded we cannot
[24:51]
continue to go back and
[24:54]
forth on on um
[24:58]
on a discussion we've we've followed the
[25:01]
process it's taken over a year not
[25:05]
everyone is happy and that is
[25:09]
unfortunate um perhaps you know
[25:12]
obviously there's a lot of
[25:14]
disappointment about the way this
[25:16]
process occurred but it was the process
[25:19]
that we
[25:20]
have and I we have now voted I think we
[25:25]
need to move on
[25:29]
we can't I unless someone wants to
[25:31]
reconsider taking the second reading but
[25:34]
I I think
[25:36]
we've um the
[25:40]
council members that are here have
[25:45]
spoken I think we should reconsider
[25:47]
because that step was left out when
[25:49]
we we we when the when it was read I I'm
[25:54]
confused as to why we would have left
[25:55]
that step out especially given how many
[25:58]
people are
[26:00]
here I mean
[26:02]
maybe Mr Mayor just is that a motion
[26:06]
but another point of order you can't if
[26:09]
we're going to do that you got to clear
[26:11]
the motion that's on the table first got
[26:14]
to in the motion that's on the
[26:17]
table
[26:22]
well yeah the matter before the council
[26:25]
right now is a motion to reconsider the
[26:28]
referral to the planning board has been
[26:32]
seconded and I believe it's ready to be
[26:35]
voted upon so I will call the question
[26:38]
at this
[26:41]
point okay okay P I'll second a call
[26:47]
yep uh councelor Gilly yes counc ask
[26:52]
councel
[26:53]
KAC yeah Council green yes Council PCH
[26:59]
yes councelor herard no what is four in
[27:03]
favor and one
[27:10]
opposed and now with the motion for
[27:14]
reconsideration of the referral to the
[27:16]
planning board having passed you are now
[27:19]
back at the point you were before you
[27:21]
voted to send it to the planning board
[27:24]
and since it is really a moot point as
[27:27]
the ordance has been amended what would
[27:30]
be appropriate is a motion to postpone
[27:33]
the referral indefinitely the passage of
[27:36]
such a motion effectively kills the
[27:40]
matter can
[27:42]
I no because it's already it's already
[27:45]
killed so we just need somebody to make
[27:47]
a motion
[27:48]
I'll I'll make the motion to postpone
[27:52]
indefinitely to postpone indefinitely
[27:54]

right so that effectively closes this
[28:26]
matter as of right this second
[28:31]
no
[28:33]
any we
[28:36]

[30:23]
