00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:34,160 um yeah i i am in particular thinking a 254 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,959 lot about the financial scrutiny of the 255 00:14:36,959 --> 00:14:39,440 cost benefit analysis 256 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,199 um as well as um 257 00:14:43,199 --> 00:14:47,829 uh the element about the um 258 00:14:47,839 --> 00:14:49,760 complementary 259 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,760 mix of housing types those are the 260 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,079 things that are on my mind tonight 261 00:14:54,079 --> 00:14:56,880 as i approach this boat 262 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,550 okay uh carmen how about you 263 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,480 i'm ready to go i'm good 264 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:03,360 good 265 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,920 okay and um i i think the main thing 266 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,800 i'll emphasize is um 267 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,720 we've heard a lot of comments um i i 268 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,160 think we would be looking for any uh new 269 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,040 uh information um because i think mostly 270 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:20,639 what we've heard has been sort of 271 00:15:20,639 --> 00:15:23,360 repeating the the same issues which we 272 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,360 have certainly listened to and we've 273 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,360 read all the letters and and certainly 274 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:28,959 talked to a lot of people 275 00:15:28,959 --> 00:15:31,440 um the other thing is we are going to be 276 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,920 limiting comments to two minutes 277 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,040 and um uh we'll need to make sure that 278 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,160 people are really clear about um giving 279 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,800 their name and their affiliation as they 280 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,040 as we requested last time 281 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:46,800 um and that is your affiliation to the 282 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:47,759 village 283 00:15:47,759 --> 00:15:49,600 um with our 284 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,920 um group that's having the watch party 285 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,759 i'm not exactly sure what's the best way 286 00:15:53,759 --> 00:15:56,079 to to work that because we'll need to be 287 00:15:56,079 --> 00:15:58,320 bouncing around with comments um it 288 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,199 seems like you're texting judy 289 00:16:01,199 --> 00:16:02,720 so maybe judy can kind of help 290 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,800 facilitate letting me know who wants to 291 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,000 speak 292 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,880 and um otherwise 293 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,240 uh 294 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,560 just remember that we will not tolerate 295 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,440 any personal attacks um if those occur 296 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,000 then we will have to mute you 297 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,199 and um 298 00:16:19,199 --> 00:16:21,440 i think that's about it judy any other 299 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,079 protocol that i'm missing 300 00:16:24,079 --> 00:16:25,839 i don't believe so no 301 00:16:25,839 --> 00:16:26,720 okay 302 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,560 um so marianne back to you do you want 303 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,560 to make your comments now or wait till 304 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,710 after the citizen comments 305 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,160 i can talk now okay go ahead 306 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,160 so i there are four 307 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,360 four points that i would like to make 308 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,839 uh first is i'd like to just go over 309 00:16:45,839 --> 00:16:48,560 what the two options are before us 310 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,880 the second i'd like to register my 311 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:52,880 concern about some of the tactics that 312 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,759 are being used to oppose the development 313 00:16:55,759 --> 00:16:58,000 i'd also like to briefly speak to the 314 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,199 ecology of the the site itself 315 00:17:01,199 --> 00:17:03,199 and lastly just what i see is the 316 00:17:03,199 --> 00:17:04,880 opportunity 317 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:05,600 so 318 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:06,880 um 319 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,640 you know we're in this little village 320 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,199 but we're in this country where 321 00:17:11,199 --> 00:17:13,280 i don't know 30 or 322 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,280 40 percent of the people i guess think 323 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,919 that president trump won the election 324 00:17:17,919 --> 00:17:21,199 i'm not sure what that proportion is 325 00:17:21,199 --> 00:17:23,760 which seems odd 326 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,679 but i have to say that 327 00:17:25,679 --> 00:17:29,039 it also seems odd that in this village 328 00:17:29,039 --> 00:17:32,880 i believe there's approximately the same 329 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,880 percentage of people 330 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,360 who don't understand that there are two 331 00:17:37,360 --> 00:17:39,600 options for this development either a 332 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,120 pud 333 00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:43,360 or a single family 334 00:17:43,360 --> 00:17:44,880 subdivision 335 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,400 and i think we've tried to put that 336 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,799 information out i understand that it can 337 00:17:48,799 --> 00:17:50,320 be confusing 338 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,120 it involves property rights subdivision 339 00:17:53,120 --> 00:17:56,559 rights zoning code building codes 340 00:17:56,559 --> 00:17:58,960 and the role of the comprehensive land 341 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:00,799 use plan 342 00:18:00,799 --> 00:18:03,919 so i'd like to first just discuss very 343 00:18:03,919 --> 00:18:06,320 briefly the piece of negotiating for the 344 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,200 pud which took over a year and involved 345 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:10,480 our staff 346 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,200 so if if you're negotiating that means 347 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,120 you have to have something 348 00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:16,799 to put on the table you have to have 349 00:18:16,799 --> 00:18:18,080 something you want you have to have 350 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,840 something that you can 351 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,840 that that you can give 352 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,440 in this case 353 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,360 the village did not have a lot of 354 00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:30,160 play playroom here because ober already 355 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,320 had what they wanted they wanted to do a 356 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,640 single family subdivision 357 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,480 so i think it speaks 358 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,960 well of ober that they were willing to 359 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,160 spend uh over a year to work with 360 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,080 primarily our staff 361 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,039 and i particularly think it speaks well 362 00:18:47,039 --> 00:18:49,039 of our staff 363 00:18:49,039 --> 00:18:52,320 who were willing and able to negotiate 364 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,320 the deal that they did 365 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,200 so i'm talking particularly about josue 366 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,679 salmeron our village manager 367 00:18:59,679 --> 00:19:00,799 johnny 368 00:19:00,799 --> 00:19:03,520 burns our public work director 369 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,919 and uh denise swinger our planning and 370 00:19:05,919 --> 00:19:06,960 zoner 371 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,559 person 372 00:19:08,559 --> 00:19:10,960 judy kintner has been involved and our 373 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:12,000 attorney 374 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,320 brianne parcells has as well 375 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,400 but these people have put their heart 376 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,280 and soul for the last year into this 377 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,679 negotiation 378 00:19:21,679 --> 00:19:24,160 and we have been getting a lot of uh 379 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,280 emails of people who mistakenly i 380 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,039 don't understand 381 00:19:29,039 --> 00:19:31,919 that the village just did not have 382 00:19:31,919 --> 00:19:34,640 anything to offer really other than 383 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,039 the goodwill of oberer 384 00:19:37,039 --> 00:19:39,039 or their their interest in being a good 385 00:19:39,039 --> 00:19:40,240 neighbor 386 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,280 and frankly i cannot think of anyone in 387 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:44,960 the village who could have done a better 388 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,679 job than our staff 389 00:19:47,679 --> 00:19:50,320 and i'm going to be sarcastic here 390 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,000 but if you think you could have done a 391 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,280 better job 392 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,120 then i suggest you 393 00:19:55,120 --> 00:19:56,720 put your name in for one of those 394 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,480 positions because if i were one of our 395 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,799 staff at this point i might be thinking 396 00:20:00,799 --> 00:20:03,120 about working someplace else for more 397 00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:05,440 money at a place that appreciated the 398 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,280 work that i did 399 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:08,799 so 400 00:20:08,799 --> 00:20:12,799 set that emotionality aside 401 00:20:12,799 --> 00:20:15,200 my sense is that there have been three 402 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,520 groups of people who've been opposing 403 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,000 the pud 404 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,000 the biggest group i think are people 405 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,840 that don't understand 406 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,679 that just what i've said that there are 407 00:20:25,679 --> 00:20:27,280 two options 408 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,520 there's a second group and it's a small 409 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,159 group i think who do understand they 410 00:20:32,159 --> 00:20:34,799 they understand that 411 00:20:34,799 --> 00:20:37,039 the option is a single family 412 00:20:37,039 --> 00:20:40,799 subdivision and they prefer that 413 00:20:40,799 --> 00:20:42,640 that's cool 414 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,320 i i don't that's not what i think but uh 415 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,320 i can see i can see some rationale in 416 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,080 that decision 417 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,320 then there's another group and i don't 418 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,640 know how big it is 419 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,039 who do understand that there are two 420 00:20:57,039 --> 00:20:58,640 options 421 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,799 and their strategy 422 00:21:00,799 --> 00:21:04,799 is to convince people to oppose the pud 423 00:21:04,799 --> 00:21:07,039 and then work to 424 00:21:07,039 --> 00:21:09,600 put roadblocks in the way so that oberer 425 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,280 cannot do the single-family subdivision 426 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,400 and an email that i had from someone in 427 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,640 this group sort of says i think sort of 428 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,320 what the strategy is 429 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,480 slow down the developer make it more 430 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:23,600 difficult 431 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,679 more expensive and time consuming 432 00:21:25,679 --> 00:21:26,880 consuming 433 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,880 increasing the chances that they will 434 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,520 sell to a party that actually has love 435 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,470 for the village 436 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,080 well 437 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,240 a party who actually has love for the 438 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,720 village already had a chance to buy the 439 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,640 property and that party didn't 440 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,240 but well whoever that party is or may be 441 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,480 i didn't 442 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,240 judith hemfling 443 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,720 who with her she and i sort of led the 444 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,400 community effort to save the white owl 445 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,720 farm we didn't do it the village 446 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,159 government didn't home inc didn't um the 447 00:22:02,159 --> 00:22:04,960 chamber didn't the foundation didn't uh 448 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,280 the community development corporation 449 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,120 none of us who live in the village who 450 00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:11,280 knew that that property was for sale for 451 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,760 or was available at any rate sitting 452 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,320 there for decades none of us bothered to 453 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,559 go around and try and buy it 454 00:22:18,559 --> 00:22:20,240 but oberer did 455 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,799 so i have a problem 456 00:22:22,799 --> 00:22:25,280 with the idea that 457 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,960 of trying to put roadblocks and 458 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,640 hamper and hassle this process in order 459 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,360 to push ober out so that 460 00:22:35,360 --> 00:22:37,280 someone else can buy the property we had 461 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:41,440 our chance it's our bad we didn't do it 462 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,840 and i have to say that 463 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:48,000 at least max chrome who is leading one 464 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,840 of these efforts and i assume dave 465 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:50,799 chappelle 466 00:22:50,799 --> 00:22:52,960 is involved in this as well 467 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,120 max has said publicly that he's looking 468 00:22:55,120 --> 00:22:57,039 out for his business interests and 469 00:22:57,039 --> 00:22:59,600 dave's business interests 470 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,120 i have asked 471 00:23:01,120 --> 00:23:04,080 what is it in their business interest 472 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:05,360 that this 473 00:23:05,360 --> 00:23:08,640 development is going to hurt and 474 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,360 in the interest of transparency 475 00:23:11,360 --> 00:23:13,760 i would like to know but right now we've 476 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,919 received one of our council members has 477 00:23:15,919 --> 00:23:18,559 received a legal threat from max 478 00:23:18,559 --> 00:23:20,559 and now we're being asked 479 00:23:20,559 --> 00:23:22,480 on a fishing expedition which is what 480 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,799 it's called to send all of our emails 481 00:23:24,799 --> 00:23:26,720 from august 1st 482 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:27,520 to 483 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,320 max's attorney 484 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,880 i just see that as part of this 485 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:37,120 uh harassment in terms of what i think 486 00:23:37,120 --> 00:23:38,640 about 487 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,799 so the property itself there have been 488 00:23:40,799 --> 00:23:42,240 people have talked about the property of 489 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,320 screen you know it has a stream in it 490 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:45,440 etc 491 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,440 well not everything that's green is a 492 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,480 pristine natural property three 493 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,320 three-fifths of that property has been 494 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,960 farmed with industrial agriculture 495 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,279 industrial agriculture is contributing 496 00:23:57,279 --> 00:23:59,840 to thirty percent of our greenhouse gas 497 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,360 emissions it also has uses fertilizer 498 00:24:03,360 --> 00:24:05,840 pesticides herbicides that flow into 499 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,240 that creek and that flow into the little 500 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,200 miami river so this is this is not like 501 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,600 some nature preserve that we're putting 502 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,159 housing on the creek itself has been 503 00:24:16,159 --> 00:24:19,120 channelized as sort of a creek sort of a 504 00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:20,640 drainage ditch 505 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,750 has much 506 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,080 honeysuckle around it 507 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,679 scrub trees it's not exactly a pristine 508 00:24:29,679 --> 00:24:33,840 site i will say it has a mother of all 509 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,440 oak trees on that 510 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,640 site which i will ensure gets preserved 511 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,279 and i will be the first person up there 512 00:24:41,279 --> 00:24:44,640 if there's any danger for that tree 513 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:45,600 so 514 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:46,580 in closing 515 00:24:46,580 --> 00:24:48,240 [Music] 516 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,559 we didn't do what we could have done we 517 00:24:50,559 --> 00:24:52,880 everyone in this community acquired that 518 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,640 property we didn't do it 519 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,799 so i want to encourage people rather 520 00:24:56,799 --> 00:24:59,520 than trying to stop this project let's 521 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,000 do what we can do to make this a great 522 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,480 neighborhood for example this could be 523 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,480 the first neighborhood in yellow springs 524 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,120 that has all natural plants that's a 525 00:25:09,120 --> 00:25:11,760 natural habitat neighborhood that would 526 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,600 be a first not just in yellow springs 527 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,240 but probably in all of ohio 528 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:17,120 so 529 00:25:17,120 --> 00:25:19,679 i will end 530 00:25:19,679 --> 00:25:20,960 with that 531 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,159 thanks 532 00:25:22,159 --> 00:25:24,640 okay thank you marianne um all right so 533 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,440 we're gonna shift to uh citizen comments 534 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,880 and um again using the raise your hand 535 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,520 symbol would be the best way for me to 536 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,000 be able to recognize who wants to speak 537 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,640 and uh i saw matthew kirk's hand go up 538 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,880 before we even started so uh matthew 539 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:50,310 i'll begin with you 540 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,080 hey how's it going brian 541 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,720 good all right i will do my best to uh 542 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,520 keep it to two minutes there's a 543 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,400 kind of a lot to unpack still 544 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:01,520 um 545 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,600 i guess the biggest thing and i want to 546 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,360 say you know i was part of the community 547 00:26:05,360 --> 00:26:07,200 group that uh worked with cosplay on 548 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,279 this project and i was really excited 549 00:26:09,279 --> 00:26:11,039 when we first started talking about it 550 00:26:11,039 --> 00:26:12,960 and the idea of these duplexes was 551 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,400 brought in instead of single family 552 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,400 homes because in my mind that meant 553 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,240 rental opportunities 554 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,080 however once the plan actually was 555 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,799 presented my view salaried because what 556 00:26:22,799 --> 00:26:25,679 i saw before me we're not duplexes but 557 00:26:25,679 --> 00:26:27,039 we're a product that's actually called a 558 00:26:27,039 --> 00:26:28,159 twin hole 559 00:26:28,159 --> 00:26:30,799 and uh the way this is being set up is 560 00:26:30,799 --> 00:26:32,320 these are really functioning as 561 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,000 condominiums 562 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,000 you know uh the grass is gonna be mowed 563 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,159 by the hoa the snow removal is going to 564 00:26:38,159 --> 00:26:40,720 be done by the hoa 565 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,840 and so just by virtue of including those 566 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:45,279 that property is going to have to have 567 00:26:45,279 --> 00:26:47,679 an hoa in perpetuity 568 00:26:47,679 --> 00:26:50,880 at no point you know will it be able to 569 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,200 kind of fall into the natural fabric of 570 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:54,880 yellow springs 571 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,360 um and be have it you know property 572 00:26:57,360 --> 00:26:58,559 owners be able to have their own 573 00:26:58,559 --> 00:27:01,440 definition of what they want to do there 574 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,360 and when you really look at the brass 575 00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:05,120 tacks of the project 576 00:27:05,120 --> 00:27:06,960 it's roughly the same number of homes 577 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,760 roughly the same amount of revenue from 578 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,760 a tax perspective 579 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:12,799 um 580 00:27:12,799 --> 00:27:14,080 one thing that we're doing though is 581 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:15,760 we're taking a significant portion of 582 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,720 the property and allocating it to 583 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,360 more of a niche classification 584 00:27:21,360 --> 00:27:24,080 where single-family homes 8 out of 10 585 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,720 new home buyers that's what they prefer 586 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,720 no matter the age range 587 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,880 so really that is going to be a more 588 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,880 diverse product i think it's going to 589 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:34,399 integrate into the community better in 590 00:27:34,399 --> 00:27:36,399 the long term whereas what we're really 591 00:27:36,399 --> 00:27:38,000 getting is a single family home 592 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,000 development and a condominium 593 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,320 development uh right next to each other 594 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:43,600 essentially 595 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,679 um and so i think it's important to kind 596 00:27:45,679 --> 00:27:47,120 of understand the framing and also 597 00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:49,279 understand how those products attract 598 00:27:49,279 --> 00:27:50,960 different home buyers 599 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:52,720 and what it is we're trying to attract 600 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,320 as we're a community that's trying to 601 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,480 get uh younger 602 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,080 sorry 603 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,950 that's two minutes 604 00:28:00,960 -->

00:28:41,919 --> 00:28:43,600 why not to to 616 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,760 or why to reject 617 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,360 uh the putt 618 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,120 but i'ma start out with my solution 619 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,240 which i see max is already on to 620 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,039 and it is you know to prevent this from 621 00:28:55,039 --> 00:28:57,360 happening in the future 622 00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,520 on other issues as well 623 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,159 we should have a uh review of how this 624 00:29:02,159 --> 00:29:04,720 plan developed and rolled out with 625 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,279 little or no community input 626 00:29:07,279 --> 00:29:08,880 because that's why we're at where we're 627 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:10,720 at right now 628 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,640 in other words transparency of a process 629 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:15,840 so that's 630 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,919 my solution oriented to keep things like 631 00:29:17,919 --> 00:29:19,279 this happen because this has happened on 632 00:29:19,279 --> 00:29:20,720 other issues 633 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,799 selection of the police chief selection 634 00:29:22,799 --> 00:29:23,919 committee 635 00:29:23,919 --> 00:29:26,000 review of the citizen review board and 636 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,200 other things 637 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,360 that have been surreptitiously behind 638 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,159 doors and then presented to communities 639 00:29:32,159 --> 00:29:34,880 uh so transparency process 640 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,120 uh reasons 641 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,039 this should be rejected because this is 642 00:29:39,039 --> 00:29:40,799 it's uh 643 00:29:40,799 --> 00:29:43,279 the social normal social economic 644 00:29:43,279 --> 00:29:46,559 overlay is just it's 645 00:29:46,559 --> 00:29:49,039 is flat out disgusting 646 00:29:49,039 --> 00:29:51,840 just because it's small scale is still 647 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,440 the type of 648 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,320 social engineering of 70 60 years ago 649 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:57,120 where 650 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,279 low-income people were were coerced or 651 00:29:59,279 --> 00:30:01,919 herded into a certain part of the city 652 00:30:01,919 --> 00:30:02,720 into 653 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,240 tenements and 654 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,350 projects 655 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,440 secondly 656 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:13,279 uh it's overly obvious that ysdc has 657 00:30:13,279 --> 00:30:18,159 been stroking oberer for months or years 658 00:30:18,159 --> 00:30:20,240 for personal reasons 659 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,399 of building a personal legacy never 660 00:30:22,399 --> 00:30:24,399 minding what the community wants or 661 00:30:24,399 --> 00:30:25,919 needs 662 00:30:25,919 --> 00:30:29,679 it should be rejected for that alone 663 00:30:29,679 --> 00:30:30,720 and 664 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,840 finally it's the sole purpose of counsel 665 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,880 to do the people's bidding 666 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,520 and the people have spoken 667 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,520 against the against this seemingly 668 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,399 well it's not seemingly it's a cereticis 669 00:30:46,399 --> 00:30:50,480 unilateral wet dream of counsel in ysdc 670 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,039 so i demand rejection 671 00:30:53,039 --> 00:30:53,919 of 672 00:30:53,919 --> 00:30:55,760 approving the pud 673 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,760 and if i could end with a two-sentence 674 00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,840 quote 675 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:01,039 judy 676 00:31:01,039 --> 00:31:03,919 uh be quick the first man who having 677 00:31:03,919 --> 00:31:06,320 fenced in a piece of land said this is 678 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,799 mine and found people naive enough to 679 00:31:08,799 --> 00:31:10,960 believe him that man was the true 680 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,120 founder of civil society 681 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,679 from how many crimes wars murders from 682 00:31:15,679 --> 00:31:17,440 how many 683 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,720 and misfortunes might not anyone have 684 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:22,320 saved mankind 685 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,880 by pulling up those stakes and filling 686 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,919 in that ditch and crying to fellow 687 00:31:27,919 --> 00:31:30,480 humans beware of listening to this 688 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,279 impostor you are undone 689 00:31:33,279 --> 00:31:35,279 if you once forget that the fruits of 690 00:31:35,279 --> 00:31:37,919 the earth belong to us all 691 00:31:37,919 --> 00:31:40,880 equally and the earth's the earth itself 692 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,320 to no one 693 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,159 jean jacques rousseau 694 00:31:44,159 --> 00:31:47,039 thank you 695 00:31:47,039 --> 00:31:49,440 okay uh thank you jonphy i do want to 696 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,760 speak to transparency uh matthew kirk 697 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,399 did highlight that we had a citizen 698 00:31:54,399 --> 00:31:55,200 group 699 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,559 um and i think most people that are 700 00:31:58,559 --> 00:32:00,880 familiar with development projects know 701 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,120 that some negotiations do not happen in 702 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,279 public but we've had a lot of public 703 00:32:05,279 --> 00:32:13,350 process all right i saw lisa able next 704 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:14,880 all right um 705 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:16,799 i just had a question maybe brian you 706 00:32:16,799 --> 00:32:19,039 can address this which is how did ysdc 707 00:32:19,039 --> 00:32:20,640 get thrown under the bus with this 708 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:21,679 project 709 00:32:21,679 --> 00:32:23,919 we're not we're not at all related to it 710 00:32:23,919 --> 00:32:26,480 anyway yeah have no idea 711 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,559 i wanted to take just a minute to 712 00:32:28,559 --> 00:32:29,919 explain 713 00:32:29,919 --> 00:32:33,200 um what i know about groundwater in in 714 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,880 the area of uh of the development 715 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,960 in 2001 i worked for 716 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,480 ysi and i was the project manager of the 717 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:46,720 groundwater contamination project ysi 718 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,640 and 719 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,279 i learned some things about groundwater 720 00:32:51,279 --> 00:32:53,039 contamination and about 721 00:32:53,039 --> 00:32:55,120 soil contamination 722 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:56,960 the first thing i learned is that soil 723 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:58,880 doesn't move 724 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,039 uh especially when it's underneath the 725 00:33:01,039 --> 00:33:02,480 surface 726 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,880 and so what happens is if soil gets 727 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:06,399 contaminated 728 00:33:06,399 --> 00:33:07,279 um 729 00:33:07,279 --> 00:33:09,600 what happens to the contamination is it 730 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,000 moves via water 731 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,360 so 732 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,480 rain flows through the soil 733 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:20,399 water flows down until it hits something 734 00:33:20,399 --> 00:33:21,840 and then it starts to move in the 735 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:23,360 direction of ground 736 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,840 water 737 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,960 so that's how it happens everywhere in 738 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:33,519 this particular part of of the village 739 00:33:33,519 --> 00:33:37,120 that layer of rock that the groundwater 740 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,039 hits is generally 741 00:33:39,039 --> 00:33:40,559 10 to 20 feet 742 00:33:40,559 --> 00:33:42,399 below the surface 743 00:33:42,399 --> 00:33:43,200 uh 744 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,919 and that's and then below that is a is a 745 00:33:45,919 --> 00:33:48,399 limestone aquifer that's somewhere 746 00:33:48,399 --> 00:33:51,120 around uh 40 to 747 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:55,120 maybe 50 feet 30 to 50 feet down 748 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,919 most folks in the region who are on 749 00:33:57,919 --> 00:33:59,200 groundwater 750 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,279 get their groundwater 751 00:34:01,279 --> 00:34:03,120 their drinking water through a wealthy 752 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,600 drill that's in that first limestone 753 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,279 aquifer 754 00:34:07,279 --> 00:34:09,200 so when ysi had this contamination 755 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:10,240 project 756 00:34:10,240 --> 00:34:13,119 we drilled i don't know dozens of wells 757 00:34:13,119 --> 00:34:16,480 at various levels that shallow 758 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,480 intermediate and deep 759 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,960 to hit all the aquifers to try to figure 760 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,679 out where the groundwater contamination 761 00:34:23,679 --> 00:34:24,639 was 762 00:34:24,639 --> 00:34:28,399 the sources were at ysi 763 00:34:28,399 --> 00:34:30,240 and um 764 00:34:30,240 --> 00:34:33,280 and residential wells that were in this 765 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,639 region were also used as part of trying 766 00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:41,430 to delineate where these plumes were 767 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:42,240 um 768 00:34:42,240 --> 00:34:44,320 so i guess if 769 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,599 what my point is if there was a dump 770 00:34:47,599 --> 00:34:50,079 that contained anything that would have 771 00:34:50,079 --> 00:34:51,520 impacted 772 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,679 groundwater in terms of contaminants 773 00:34:53,679 --> 00:34:56,159 that that are drinking water standard 774 00:34:56,159 --> 00:34:58,240 issues for epa 775 00:34:58,240 --> 00:35:00,720 those contaminants would have been found 776 00:35:00,720 --> 00:35:03,280 during the 20 years that ysi was 777 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,720 monitoring wells and they were not 778 00:35:06,720 --> 00:35:08,560 and if there had been 779 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,880 say the same chemicals but in a 780 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,599 different quantity at that site the 781 00:35:13,599 --> 00:35:15,040 oversight 782 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,440 there would have been a spike in the in 783 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,680 the downstream wells 784 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,160 that would have indicated hey there's 785 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,560 something else going on that's not at 786 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,920 ysi it's between ysi and this well 787 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,640 and those spikes were also not found in 788 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,960 the groundwater wells 789 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,040 so anyway those are the couple things i 790 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,520 just wanted to to let you all know about 791 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,520 a little bit of history from 20 some 792 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,359 years ago 793 00:35:41,359 --> 00:35:44,320 all right thank you very much lisa um i 794 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:50,870 saw johnny

single father i'm a renter here for 810 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,800 nearly 15 years just this year i was 811 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:26,640 able to afford to buy a house in the 812 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,760 village yay when i moved to town i did 813 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:31,839 so because it was a diverse it was a 814 00:36:31,839 --> 00:36:34,000 multifarious it was a liberal community 815 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:35,520 and it was the only place that i felt 816 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,000 safe being a black single father raising 817 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,720 bi-racial kids my kids started at mills 818 00:36:40,720 --> 00:36:42,320 lawn and they're in uh they're in the 819 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:43,680 high school now 820 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,599 and when i moved here i was welcomed by 821 00:36:45,599 --> 00:36:47,520 an artistic a musical and an 822 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,359 intellectual community they've helped 823 00:36:49,359 --> 00:36:50,640 raise my kids and it's the same 824 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:52,560 community that times helped me pay my 825 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,480 village utility bills 826 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,599 um and the community that i knew then 827 00:36:57,599 --> 00:37:00,880 has slowly been priced out i was shocked 828 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,359 when i heard of this like tikitaliki 829 00:37:03,359 --> 00:37:05,440 development being presented on outskirts 830 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,200 of town and to be honest i was a little 831 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:08,400 embarrassed 832 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:09,760 i felt like 833 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:11,359 you guys went behind her back she 834 00:37:11,359 --> 00:37:13,839 developed it for a year and i didn't 835 00:37:13,839 --> 00:37:15,359 have any input 836 00:37:15,359 --> 00:37:17,680 and it's kind of too late i'm sorry but 837 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:19,920 it's a little too late to recommend that 838 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:21,760 we do a better job or that you guys were 839 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,520 surmising you could have done a better 840 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,079 job because you did it without our input 841 00:37:26,079 --> 00:37:28,000 and that's that's offensive to me i i 842 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,680 feel upset about that 843 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,160 so the other thing is i've been watching 844 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:33,920 the conversation develop into one that's 845 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:34,839 like 846 00:37:34,839 --> 00:37:37,440 divisive and it's overbearingly been 847 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,680 lost in the minutia of this like faux 848 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,720 immediacy or codes or environmental 849 00:37:42,720 --> 00:37:44,880 impact and i feel like this isn't an 850 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,520 instance of us looking a gift horse 851 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,359 in the mouth but it's more like checking 852 00:37:49,359 --> 00:37:51,440 the inside of like a trojan horse before 853 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,640 it comes into our city you know 854 00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:54,800 [Music] 855 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,440 uh really quick the elephant in the room 856 00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,640 it seems that nobody wants to uh discuss 857 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:02,480 the opinion or the influence of mr 858 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,960 chappelle and

00:38:10,800 but i do recall him mentioning that if 862 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,240 he were to 863 00:38:12,240 --> 00:38:14,880 if we were to uh move forward with this 864 00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:16,720 project that he would he would pull out 865 00:38:16,720 --> 00:38:18,720 of his holdings in the village and i've 866 00:38:18,720 --> 00:38:21,440 gotta ask like i've been to juke joints

needs to 876 00:38:41,359 --> 00:38:43,520 it's not because he economically needs 877 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,040 to do this stuff 878 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:46,800 it's not something the the issues that 879 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,800 we've had can be just fixed by hanging a 880 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,839 black lives matter's flag over 68 and i 881 00:38:51,839 --> 00:38:54,240 i'd i'd be

an interesting 984 00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:49,839 discussion and i'm always thrilled to be 985 00:42:49,839 --> 00:42:51,359 at meetings with fellow villagers that 986 00:42:51,359 --> 00:42:53,359 have strong opinions and express them so 987 00:42:53,359 --> 00:42:54,160 well 988 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:55,839 um 989 00:42:55,839 --> 00:42:58,079 affordable housing is a critical need in 990 00:42:58,079 --> 00:43:00,240 our community and i really wish this 991 00:43:00,240 --> 00:43:01,520 proposal 992 00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:05,040 in the pud had more of it 993 00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:07,359 but i know the council has strongly 994 00:43:07,359 --> 00:43:08,720 supported 995 00:43:08,720 --> 00:43:10,880 initiatives for affordable housing in 996 00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:12,560 this town for the last several years and 997 00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:14,720 really for quite a while 998 00:43:14,720 --> 00:43:16,400 and so i would 999 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:17,599 i think it's 1000 00:43:17,599 --> 00:43:20,000 i believe that that our staff people who 1001 00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,880 negotiated with uber knew that and made 1002 00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:24,880 their best effort to try to come out of 1003 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:26,480 this negotiation 1004 00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:27,839 with ober 1005 00:43:27,839 --> 00:43:30,560 uh with some affordable housing and they 1006 00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:33,280 did get some stuff some things that i 1007 00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,280 think would be valuable they are in fact 1008 00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:37,040 valuable for our community i think 1009 00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,200 marianne said it correctly that they 1010 00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,680 went into the negotiations we 1011 00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:44,400 went into this negotiations with way 1012 00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,319 less leverage 1013 00:43:46,319 --> 00:43:49,040 than i wish we had than we should have 1014 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,040 had and in fact we got to fix it we got 1015 00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:52,720 to figure out why we had so little 1016 00:43:52,720 --> 00:43:55,440 leverage and we got to fix that into the 1017 00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,839 future 1018 00:43:57,839 --> 00:44:00,079 but i'm concerned and i've listened 1019 00:44:00,079 --> 00:44:01,359 carefully to the people that are 1020 00:44:01,359 --> 00:44:04,800 opposing this pud i'm concerned that i'm 1021 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,200 not hearing a viable strategy to get a 1022 00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:08,960 better result 1023 00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:10,640 what i'm hearing is a strategy that will 1024 00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:11,760 probably 1025 00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,640 most likely end up with us getting a 1026 00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:17,440 large development of single-family only 1027 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:20,960 residents that cost a lot of money 1028 00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:24,400 and so in the absence of 1029 00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:25,839 something better 1030 00:44:25,839 --> 00:44:28,079 i think we need to look seriously at 1031 00:44:28,079 --> 00:44:30,319 what's on offer and we need to tell 1032 00:44:30,319 --> 00:44:32,560 ourselves that we're going to fix the 1033 00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:34,720 problem that 1034 00:44:34,720 --> 00:44:36,800 resulted in us having so little leverage 1035 00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:39,839 so with apologies to our avian friends 1036 00:44:39,839 --> 00:44:42,800 i'll say sometimes a burden of hand is 1037 00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:46,240 better than two in the bush 1038 00:44:46,240 -->

00:45:14,160 get some land um 1050 00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:16,240 donated to the village um to develop 1051 00:45:16,240 --> 00:45:20,550 affordable housing on um 1052 00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:26,550 and 1053 00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:28,480 sorry 1054 00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:30,640 i guess you know listening to what 1055 00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:32,240 council has said so far you know i've 1056 00:45:32,240 --> 00:45:34,640 definitely heard um support for 1057 00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:36,880 affordable housing occurring on 1058 00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,359 um at that land so 1059 00:45:39,359 --> 00:45:41,680 um i think that that you know explains 1060 00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,000 um some of the support on council for 1061 00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:47,680 the pud application um there's and also 1062 00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:49,680 i've heard um some concerns about 1063 00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,200 gentrification occurring due to the 1064 00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:52,319 development 1065 00:45:52,319 --> 00:45:54,960 and between um the pud and the parallel 1066 00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:55,760 plan 1067 00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:58,480 um it seems obvious that the parallel 1068 00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:00,800 plan would result arguably 1069 00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:02,480 proportionately more gentrification 1070 00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:04,319 since you would only since it wouldn't 1071 00:46:04,319 --> 00:46:06,880 contain no affordable housing um i 1072 00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:08,400 haven't heard council express any 1073 00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:10,400 concern any 1074 00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:12,160 sort of desire for single family housing 1075 00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,960 over duplexes and townhouses or over a 1076 00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:18,150 park or over 1077 00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:21,990 the affordable housing 1078 00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:23,599 and so 1079 00:46:23,599 --> 00:46:25,920 i guess that's a good reason to feel 1080 00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:27,520 like 1081 00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:29,280 council and maybe most the community 1082 00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:30,640 actually prefers the beauty over the 1083 00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:32,160 parallel plan 1084 00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:33,520 um 1085 00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:35,839 and if council sort of disagrees with 1086 00:46:35,839 --> 00:46:37,680 their own lawyers 1087 00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:39,839 basically legal view 1088 00:46:39,839 --> 00:46:40,720 that 1089 00:46:40,720 --> 00:46:43,280 if this if the pd is rejected then the 1090 00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,599 parallel plan um will move forward i 1091 00:46:45,599 --> 00:46:47,680 guess i just urge those council members 1092 00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:50,319 to move to table to get other legal 1093 00:46:50,319 --> 00:46:52,319 advice if they doubt their own lawyer's 1094 00:46:52,319 --> 00:46:53,200 view 1095 00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,359 although i suppose that that would only 1096 00:46:55,359 --> 00:46:56,640 just be like a 1097 00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:58,960 necessary but not 1098 00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:00,240 sufficient condition so i should have 1099 00:47:00,240 --> 00:47:01,359 prepared more 1100 00:47:01,359 --> 00:47:05,200 for opposing the pud um because arguably 1101 00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,040 even with um 1102 00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:08,640 more time and slightly more leverage 1103 00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:09,920 it's still a little bit questionable 1104 00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:11,839 whether the village really could get a 1105 00:47:11,839 --> 00:47:15,190 better plan um 1106 00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:17,119 thank you 1107 00:47:17,119 --> 00:47:18,880 all right thanks john 1108 00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:28,470 um amy walmsley 1109 00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:31,040 okay amy i think you're on okay sorry 1110 00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:31,760 i'm 1111 00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:34,640 struggling apparently okay here we go 1112 00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:36,319 good evening my name is amy wamsley and 1113 00:47:36,319 --> 00:47:38,000 i'm speaking as a concerned community 1114 00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:39,520 member not as a member of the arts and 1115 00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:40,720 culture commission or any other 1116 00:47:40,720 --> 00:47:43,040 organization in which i am affiliated i 1117 00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:44,079 want to thank all of you for your 1118 00:47:44,079 --> 00:47:45,520 service to our village a village that 1119 00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:47,599 prides itself on activism fighting for 1120 00:47:47,599 --> 00:47:49,280 the truth transparency equity and 1121 00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,920 diversity unfortunately with due all due 1122 00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:53,680 respect i am finding that the process in 1123 00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:55,359 communication around the pud has not 1124 00:47:55,359 --> 00:47:57,440 been representative of our village the 1125 00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,359 faq came out almost a month after a 1126 00:47:59,359 --> 00:48:01,280 council member requested it 1127 00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:03,670 um 1128 00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:05,520 and uses the voice of ober and some of 1129 00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:07,119 the questions are not completed for 1130 00:48:07,119 --> 00:48:08,319 example question number nine 1131 00:48:08,319 --> 00:48:10,960 specifically states side loaded garages 1132 00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,119 are a popular feature in many of our 1133 00:48:13,119 --> 00:48:16,000 subdivisions and question number four 1134 00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:17,599 was not fully answered the answer only 1135 00:48:17,599 --> 00:48:19,599 refers to the pud zoning and not the ra 1136 00:48:19,599 --> 00:48:21,839 zoning as requested from a citizen's 1137 00:48:21,839 --> 00:48:23,520 perspective how can council make an 1138 00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:25,359 unbiased educated decision when the 1139 00:48:25,359 --> 00:48:28,319 requested faq by council does not give 1140 00:48:28,319 --> 00:48:31,040 the entire picture of the questions that 1141 00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:32,960 are not fully answered how can villagers 1142 00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:34,880 have confidence in a document that lacks 1143 00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:37,359 detail and clearly appears one-sided to 1144 00:48:37,359 --> 00:48:39,760 the pud in the voice of ober question 1145 00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:41,760 30's response under cluster development 1146 00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:43,760 in the remaining area or open space 1147 00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:46,079 needs to be large enough to have an 1148 00:48:46,079 --> 00:48:48,319 economic use or be accepted as part of 1149 00:48:48,319 --> 00:48:49,680 the park or other maintained or 1150 00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:51,920 preserved open space if this site were 1151 00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:53,680 clustered onto a small site the 1152 00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:55,440 resulting open space would not be large 1153 00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:58,000 enough for that use a clear cut nine 1154 00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,400 acres of trees was approved nine acres 1155 00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:02,240 is not only enough to be a park it is 1156 00:49:02,240 --> 00:49:04,240 what is it is what the comprehensive 1157 00:49:04,240 --> 00:49:06,480 plan actually requires with the pud of 1158 00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:08,559 this size when looking at the comp plan 1159 00:49:08,559 --> 00:49:10,400 and mentions moving senior houser closer 1160 00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:12,319 to the downtown area for walkability 1161 00:49:12,319 --> 00:49:13,599 accessibility 1162 00:49:13,599 --> 00:49:16,079 now we are being sold housing as 1163 00:49:16,079 --> 00:49:18,640 potential retiree housing so far out of 1164 00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:20,160 town it will be on property that we 1165 00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:22,480 annexed i'm generally concerned that 1166 00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:24,160 there is a consideration to put the work 1167 00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:25,520 that defines the village of yellow 1168 00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:28,160 springs to the side for what seems to be 1169 00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:31,200 mostly 1.75 acres and some playground 1170 00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:33,040 equipment playground equipment that is 1171 00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:34,800 being placed next to a drowning hazard 1172 00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:37,520 for children which by the way approving 1173 00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:39,760 with modifications could not change 1174 00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:41,440 where that playground equipment is 1175 00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:44,000 placed the village celebrates those 1176 00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:45,599 governmental agencies accountable 1177 00:49:45,599 --> 00:49:47,040 therefore i am asking that council 1178 00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,119 either request a postponement until you 1179 00:49:49,119 --> 00:49:51,440 receive the information that you need or 1180 00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:52,640 request 1181 00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:54,800 uh a request and requested or vote no 1182 00:49:54,800 -->

at the yellow springs 1217 00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:22,559 news i covered a whole bunch of village 1218 00:51:22,559 --> 00:51:24,160 council meetings 1219 00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:26,480 and covered things like the bow and 1220 00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:28,400 housing needs study 1221 00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:32,000 and i'm i'm for the pud i i hope console 1222 00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:34,079 approves of it 1223 00:51:34,079 --> 00:51:36,559 my work covering console convinced me 1224 00:51:36,559 --> 00:51:38,480 that the village definitely needs more 1225 00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:42,480 housing of

00:51:51,839 takes us down the road toward meeting 1229 00:51:51,839 --> 00:51:54,720 these needs it provides some of this far 1230 00:51:54,720 --> 00:51:57,119 more than residents say which only 1231 00:51:57,119 --> 00:51:58,400 provides 1232 00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:01,040 one kind of housing uh big houses big 1233 00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:02,079 lots 1234 00:52:02,079 --> 00:52:03,920 and my understanding is that's the only 1235 00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:06,079 other option other than the pud so 1236 00:52:06,079 --> 00:52:09,280 definitely i'm i'm supporting the pud 1237 00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:11,280 a lot of the opposition toward the 1238 00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:13,280 project comes from neighbors and that's 1239 00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:16,240 understandable neighbors have 1240 00:52:16,240 --> 00:52:18,720 have legitimate interest 1241 00:52:18,720 --> 00:52:20,720 but those interests are not the same as 1242 00:52:20,720 --> 00:52:22,240 the interests of the community as a

unable to find 1256 00:52:54,720 --> 00:52:55,760 one 1257 00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:58,640 so we ended up building in birch three 1258 00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:00,640 which i never planned on building a 1259 00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:03,119 house i this used to be a field 1260 00:53:03,119 --> 00:53:05,359 but it was all that was available 1261 00:53:05,359 --> 00:53:07,280 basically at that point 1262 00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:09,760 i remember asking my developer 1263 00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:11,680 why don't you build some duplexes in the 1264 00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:14,000 middle part there was this like island 1265 00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:15,599 that my kids called 1266 00:53:15,599 --> 00:53:17,359 coop island because people walked their 1267 00:53:17,359 --> 00:53:19,200 dogs there and didn't clean up after it 1268 00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:20,400 anyways 1269 00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:23,760 um he said oh well you know we wanted to 1270 00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:25,920 do that and we tried to do that 1271 00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:28,559 but the neighbors were opposed to it 1272 00:53:28,559 --> 00:53:31,200 and so i recently read a news article 1273 00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:32,200 back in 1274 00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:34,960 2008 this happened before i had moved 1275 00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:36,079 here 1276 00:53:36,079 --> 00:53:38,079 and sure enough yeah neighbors didn't 1277 00:53:38,079 --> 00:53:41,280 want it they didn't want 1278 00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:42,960 that look they didn't want their 1279 00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:45,280 property values to go down i do think 1280 00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:47,680 that some of the neighbors speaking out 1281 00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:50,480 against this 1282 00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:52,400 subdivision are worried about the 1283 00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:53,839 property values and they need to be 1284 00:53:53,839 --> 00:53:55,520 honest about that 1285 00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:56,480 um 1286 00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:59,599 i support the pud i think we need a 1287 00:53:59,599 --> 00:54:02,640 diversity of types of housing 1288 00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:03,760 and 1289 00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:05,920 being a person that lives around a bunch 1290 00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:07,520 of big houses 1291 00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:10,079 this this doesn't represent what most of 1292 00:54:10,079 --> 00:54:12,000 our community looks like 1293 00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:12,960 um 1294 00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:14,640 yeah i support it 1295 00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:17,119 and it's i'd rather stay a field with 1296 00:54:17,119 --> 00:54:19,280 deer frolicking and

00:54:28,160 and our village manager have worked 1300 00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:30,880 extremely hard to make the best out of 1301 00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:32,960 this situation 1302 00:54:32,960 -->

oh my god 1307 00:54:42,240 --> 00:54:44,000 hi all thank you for the opportunity to 1308 00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:47,119 comment um i'm visiting briefly from 1309 00:54:47,119 --> 00:54:49,839 california my name is jamie fine i'm the 1310 00:54:49,839 --> 00:54:51,760 son of joan fine who lives on east 1311 00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:54,559 limestone street where i grew up 1312 00:54:54,559 --> 00:54:57,200 i wanted to let you know that i spent 1313 00:54:57,200 --> 00:55:01,040 time playing in that land with max and i 1314 00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:03,440 do recall that that was a garbage dump 1315 00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:04,799 we used to collect garbage and make 1316 00:55:04,799 --> 00:55:07,280 flotation devices and max used to try to 1317 00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:08,880 convince me to get on those flotation 1318 00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:11,440 devices in that pond 1319 00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:14,319 i think um what i'm hearing and seeing 1320 00:55:14,319 --> 00:55:15,040 is 1321 00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:15,920 that 1322 00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:17,920 there's a real need to slow down and 1323 00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:20,160 allow for more more investigation 1324 00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:22,400 further deliberation and more of this 1325 00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:24,480 civic discourse that yellow springs is 1326 00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:25,599 known for 1327 00:55:25,599 --> 00:55:27,280 um i um 1328 00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:29,200 i do recognize there's a need for 1329 00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:32,240 additional site assessment due to the 1330 00:55:32,240 --> 00:55:34,880 proximity of groundwater contamination 1331 00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:36,720 the history of the site being used as a 1332 00:55:36,720 --> 00:55:39,359 dump and what i can see is an incomplete 1333 00:55:39,359 --> 00:55:41,760 evaluation of the environmental 1334 00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:43,440 attributes and potential for sensitive 1335 00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:44,559 habitat 1336 00:55:44,559 -->

proposal because i was 1342 00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:58,240 particularly interested in what the 1343 00:55:58,240 --> 00:56:00,559 fiscal impacts of the proposed project 1344 00:56:00,559 --> 00:56:02,559 which adds 10 of population to the 1345 00:56:02,559 --> 00:56:04,559 community are going to be and how those 1346 00:56:04,559 --> 00:56:06,240 are going to be mitigated and i really

01:09:08,480 --> 01:09:10,960 all right we got matthew 1667 01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:17,110 we giving him the ability to mic on 1668 01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:18,839 there we go matthew go 1669 01:09:18,839 --> 01:09:22,640 ahead yeah so i want to talk about how 1670 01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:24,239 going with the aria development would 1671 01:09:24,239 --> 01:09:26,799 actually affect uh affordability in the 1672 01:09:26,799 --> 01:09:28,960 village the reality is right now there's 1673 01:09:28,960 --> 01:09:31,279 so much scarcity in the housing market 1674 01:09:31,279 --> 01:09:34,719 that every house in 150 to 250 000 price 1675 01:09:34,719 --> 01:09:37,120 range is basically getting scooped up by 1676 01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:39,199 somebody who's an all-cash buyer can 1677 01:09:39,199 --> 01:09:41,440 come in do significant improvements to 1678 01:09:41,440 --> 01:09:43,520 the house either flip it or make it into 1679 01:09:43,520 --> 01:09:44,880 their forever home 1680 01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:45,759 right 1681 01:09:45,759 --> 01:09:47,920 by making this all single family homes 1682 01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:49,600 now we're giving a new 1683 01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:51,839 brand new product those same people that 1684 01:09:51,839 --> 01:09:54,480 have the funds to come into the village 1685 01:09:54,480 --> 01:09:56,560 so hopefully this will free up 1686 01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:59,199 more of those houses in the 150 to 250 1687 01:09:59,199 --> 01:10:02,159 000 price range for people who want to 1688 01:10:02,159 --> 01:10:04,080 buy them because let's be honest there's 1689 01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:06,239 a lot of houses in yellow springs that 1690 01:10:06,239 --> 01:10:08,239 sell for a lot more than they would in 1691 01:10:08,239 --> 01:10:10,640 other communities so if we have more of 1692 01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:12,560 a modern housing stock 1693 01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:15,760 that is going to attract people who want 1694 01:10:15,760 --> 01:10:17,760 nobody wants to go through like a six 1695 01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:20,159 month to one year renovation that's not 1696 01:10:20,159 --> 01:10:21,840 like an awesome thing when you're like 1697 01:10:21,840 --> 01:10:23,600 looking to move somewhere 1698 01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:26,159 you know so i think that we're 1699 01:10:26,159 --> 01:10:28,560 underselling how much the ra development 1700 01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:30,800 actually contributes to affordability 1701 01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:32,000 thank you 1702 01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:35,120 okay

01:10:39,679 --> 01:10:41,679 giving me the time i just want to say 1707 01:10:41,679 --> 01:10:44,000 that uh i'm of the opinion the red pill 1708 01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:45,920 the blue pill we're offered are both not 1709 01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:48,640 great options i do feel like we've got 1710 01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:51,199 enough intelligence among the council 1711 01:10:51,199 --> 01:10:53,280 uh that that that built this plan and 1712 01:10:53,280 --> 01:10:55,520 you guys said it yourself during covid 1713 01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:57,600 you know behind closed doors without us 1714 01:10:57,600 --> 01:10:59,840 knowing i think we have enough uh uh 1715 01:10:59,840 --> 01:11:01,520 intelligence among us and among the 1716 01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:04,080 villagers that if you guys just listen 1717 01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:05,679 to what people are saying there's a lot 1718 01:11:05,679 --> 01:11:07,840 of opposition but there's not opposition 1719 01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:09,920 against the pud it's against the way 1720 01:11:09,920 --> 01:11:11,600 that it's being presented i think we can 1721 01:11:11,600 --> 01:11:13,520 do better we all know that we can do 1722 01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:15,199 better there's so much intelligence in 1723 01:11:15,199 --> 01:11:16,960 this community we can come up with a 1724 01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:18,480 better plan or something that's better 1725 01:11:18,480 --> 01:11:20,960 for all of us and and this is gonna this 1726 01:11:20,960 --> 01:11:23,679 this decision that you make tonight is 1727 01:11:23,679 -->

01:13:00,400 --> 01:13:02,239 our village ordinance demands that we 1774 01:13:02,239 --> 01:13:03,760 have a better pud 1775 01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:04,719 one of the 1776 01:13:04,719 --> 01:13:06,640 uh requirements of the pud and in fact 1777 01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:08,719 what ober applied for was that it 1778 01:13:08,719 --> 01:13:09,760 preserves 1779 01:13:09,760 --> 01:13:12,239 significant environmental resources 1780 01:13:12,239 --> 01:13:13,840 marianne mcqueen said herself it doesn't 1781 01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:14,800 preserve 1782 01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:15,840 um 1783 01:13:15,840 --> 01:13:18,880 significant resources there's nine acres 1784 01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:20,320 of land they're going to clear in fact 1785 01:13:20,320 --> 01:13:22,320 they're almost going out of their way to 1786 01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:24,239 destroy what's there this is mostly 1787 01:13:24,239 --> 01:13:26,400 agricultural land yet they're finding 1788 01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:28,320 nine acres to cut down 1789 01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:30,239 it's like the one slurs coming in to try 1790 01:13:30,239 --> 01:13:33,760 to take over what make the lorax mad 1791 01:13:33,760 --> 01:13:36,080 um there's a 300 year old tree there 1792 01:13:36,080 --> 01:13:37,920 that is just right in the middle of the 1793 01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:39,520 housing area they obviously didn't look 1794 01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:41,120 at the site very much 1795 01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:43,360 um there's obviously information about a 1796 01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:45,040 dump it's not including the phase one 1797 01:13:45,040 --> 01:13:46,719 plan and the phase one environmental 1798 01:13:46,719 --> 01:13:48,800 plan clearly says we don't have all the 1799 01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:50,480 information if we get more information 1800 01:13:50,480 --> 01:13:52,480 we have to go back and do this again 1801 01:13:52,480 --> 01:13:54,239 and that dump information was not in 1802 01:13:54,239 --> 01:13:57,120 there they only asked over and stewing 1803 01:13:57,120 --> 01:13:58,719 hey are there any environmental hazards 1804 01:13:58,719 --> 01:13:59,920 and they were like nope we don't think 1805 01:13:59,920 --> 01:14:00,800 so 1806 01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:02,640 but now that we know we know that there 1807 01:14:02,640 --> 01:14:04,719 are some we have to go back and do a 1808 01:14:04,719 --> 01:14:06,719 phase two we know there were ysi 1809 01:14:06,719 --> 01:14:08,080 chemicals in the surface water there 1810 01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:10,080 that's in the report low levels but they 1811 01:14:10,080 --> 01:14:12,159 were still there so i urge you to go 1812 01:14:12,159 --> 01:14:14,080 back and come up with a better plan and 1813 01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:15,760 in fact i argue that the village 1814 01:14:15,760 --> 01:14:18,400 ordinance demands us to do a better plan 1815 01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:20,000 than what's there particularly in 1816 01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:22,080 regards to them needing to meet 1817 01:14:22,080 --> 01:14:24,800 uh preservation of significant natural 1818 01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:26,159 features which they're really not doing 1819 01:14:26,159 --> 01:14:28,719 at all thank you all right thank you 1820 01:14:28,719 --> 01:14:33,350 kendra 1821 01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:35,840 hi uh joanna schulzherman 1822 01:14:35,840 --> 01:14:38,719 um building on what kendra was saying 1823 01:14:38,719 --> 01:14:40,560 that you keep saying that there's these 1824 01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:42,880 two options when 1825 01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:45,520 the pd as currently presented is a 1826 01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:48,080 direct violation of what is stated in 1827 01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:49,840 yellow springs code of ordinances 1828 01:14:49,840 --> 01:14:52,000 chapter 1254 for planned unit 1829 01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:53,120 development 1830 01:14:53,120 --> 01:14:56,080 explicit violations of preservation of 1831 01:14:56,080 --> 01:14:58,320 significant natural features extensive 1832 01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:00,320 open space and recreational amenities 1833 01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:02,239 connectivity of open space with new or 1834 01:15:02,239 --> 01:15:03,840 existing adjacent freeway or trail 1835 01:15:03,840 --> 01:15:06,000 corridors preservation of small town 1836 01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:08,400 appeal improvements to public streets or 1837 01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:10,320 other public facilities that mitigate 1838 01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:13,280 traffic and or other development impacts 1839 01:15:13,280 --> 01:15:15,920 rezoning the area to pud will not result 1840 01:15:15,920 --> 01:15:18,080 in a significant adverse effect upon 1841 01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:21,120 nearby nearby or adjacent village lands 1842 01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:23,360 and i think the most important part 1843 01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:25,679 is that the proposed uses and design of 1844 01:15:25,679 --> 01:15:28,640 the pd shall be substantially consistent 1845 01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:30,800 with the village's adopted comprehensive 1846 01:15:30,800 --> 01:15:32,719 plan and the principles for land 1847 01:15:32,719 --> 01:15:34,880 stewardship contained in the vision 1848 01:15:34,880 --> 01:15:37,679 yellow springs in miami township so i 1849 01:15:37,679 --> 01:15:40,239 implore the village council 1850 01:15:40,239 --> 01:15:44,719 to build upon the work of whoever works 1851 01:15:44,719 --> 01:15:47,040 on this comprehensive land use plan and 1852 01:15:47,040 --> 01:15:49,520 this vision for the

01:16:34,560 --> 01:16:36,560 um one thing that's consistently struck 1872 01:16:36,560 --> 01:16:39,199 me is that we seem to be voting yes out 1873 01:16:39,199 --> 01:16:42,560 of fear uh council

1882 01:16:57,120 --> 01:17:00,239 insult so by accepting the pittance that 1883 01:17:00,239 --> 01:17:02,239 oberer is offering us we're denying 1884 01:17:02,239 --> 01:17:04,320 ourselves the

the process 2071 01:24:03,440 --> 01:24:05,120 for the visioning of the of the 2072 01:24:05,120 --> 01:24:07,600 comprehensive plan many of us were 2073 01:24:07,600 --> 01:24:11,120 sitting you know in the um 2074 01:24:11,120 --> 01:24:13,440 in the stakeholders meetings when we put 2075 01:24:13,440 --> 01:24:18,320 together the zoning codes um 2076 01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:20,400 so i understand what you're saying you 2077 01:24:20,400 --> 01:24:22,320 don't feel like you were part of this 2078 01:24:22,320 --> 01:24:24,880 process for this private residential 2079 01:24:24,880 --> 01:24:26,239 development when i say private it's 2080 01:24:26,239 --> 01:24:28,320 private property it's not public 2081 01:24:28,320 --> 01:24:30,960 property it's not like it's not like the 2082 01:24:30,960 --> 01:24:32,159 uh 2083 01:24:32,159 --> 01:24:34,560 for instance the cbe when it got handed 2084 01:24:34,560 --> 01:24:36,000 off to the village that was a little 2085 01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:37,760 different story that was 2086 01:24:37,760 --> 01:24:39,600 that became public land so we had a 2087 01:24:39,600 --> 01:24:41,679 different discussion with that but this 2088 01:24:41,679 --> 01:24:43,440 is private property so it goes through a 2089 01:24:43,440 --> 01:24:46,480 different process it still gets 2090 01:24:46,480 --> 01:24:49,520 the process of going through reviews 2091 01:24:49,520 --> 01:24:51,040 under pud 2092 01:24:51,040 --> 01:24:52,960 however what i need you to understand 2093 01:24:52,960 --> 01:24:55,040 this is important please listen to me 2094 01:24:55,040 --> 01:24:57,920 ballroom people because if it goes 2095 01:24:57,920 --> 01:24:59,600 straight subdivision 2096 01:24:59,600 --> 01:25:03,040 you have no say at all zero subdivision 2097 01:25:03,040 --> 01:25:05,199 review is an administrative process 2098 01:25:05,199 --> 01:25:07,280 completely it just goes through the 2099 01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:10,320 review process it gets stamped as long 2100 01:25:10,320 --> 01:25:12,800 as it checks all the boxes and then you 2101 01:25:12,800 --> 01:25:15,280 get whatever residence a they want to 2102 01:25:15,280 --> 01:25:17,440 develop so 2103 01:25:17,440 --> 01:25:20,159 understand that at least with the pud we 2104 01:25:20,159 --> 01:25:21,920 get some 2105 01:25:21,920 --> 01:25:23,840 some of what we've asked for in the 2106 01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:27,280 comprehensive plan it doesn't it doesn't 2107 01:25:27,280 --> 01:25:29,600 give us everything because it's not our 2108 01:25:29,600 --> 01:25:32,159 plan it's not our development we don't 2109 01:25:32,159 --> 01:25:34,719 own that land and i know that's really 2110 01:25:34,719 --> 01:25:36,719 hard for you to get your hands around 2111 01:25:36,719 --> 01:25:37,600 because 2112 01:25:37,600 --> 01:25:39,600 we've all played on that land my boys 2113 01:25:39,600 --> 01:25:42,000 played captured the flag on that on that 2114

shouting cheering um 2126 01:26:13,600 --> 01:26:15,520 again you know this 2127 01:26:15,520 --> 01:26:18,159 this isn't a watch party this is a 2128 01:26:18,159 --> 01:26:19,120 formal 2129 01:26:19,120 --> 01:26:20,960 council meeting 2130 01:26:20,960 --> 01:26:28,950 okay 2131 01:26:28,960 --> 01:26:33,350 are they able to mic on 2132 01:26:33,360 --> 01:26:36,800 hi this is brittany baum i am here today 2133 01:26:36,800 --> 01:26:39,840 to urge you to vote no on the pud 2134 01:26:39,840 --> 01:26:41,760 i still have a hard time figuring out 2135 01:26:41,760 --> 01:26:43,199 how this even meets the minimum 2136 01:26:43,199 --> 01:26:46,000 requirements for the pud i think the pud 2137 01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:48,159 should be truly exceptional if we're 2138 01:26:48,159 --> 01:26:50,000 choosing to bend the rules to meet these 2139 01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:51,840 requirements and i think this is 2140 01:26:51,840 --> 01:26:54,320 anything but we wouldn't all be here if 2141 01:26:54,320 --> 01:26:56,000 this was exceptional 2142 01:26:56,000 --> 01:26:58,320 i think this definitely sets a precedent 2143 01:26:58,320 --> 01:27:00,239 and we shouldn't be making decisions 2144 01:27:00,239 --> 01:27:02,159 based off of the least bad of two 2145 01:27:02,159 --> 01:27:03,280 choices 2146 01:27:03,280 --> 01:27:04,880 we should not be making strategic 2147 01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:06,400 decisions that will have long-term 2148 01:27:06,400 --> 01:27:09,120 consequences using this rationale 2149 01:27:09,120 --> 01:27:12,000 we developed a comprehensive plan to you 2150 01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:13,520 be used as a guide to help make 2151 01:27:13,520 --> 01:27:19,590 important decisions like these easier 2152 01:27:19,600 --> 01:27:22,719 we need to update our antiquated zoning 2153 01:27:22,719 --> 01:27:24,560 codes to reflect our current vision and 2154 01:27:24,560 --> 01:27:26,800 our comprehensive plan 2155 01:27:26,800 --> 01:27:28,480 sustainability is mentioned time and 2156 01:27:28,480 --> 01:27:30,480 time again referring to the ability to 2157 01:27:30,480 --> 01:27:32,719 support the needs of the present without 2158 01:27:32,719 --> 01:27:34,639 compromising future generations in the 2159 01:27:34,639 --> 01:27:36,560 areas of economic environmental and 2160 01:27:36,560 --> 01:27:38,320 human sustainability in the 2161 01:27:38,320 --> 01:27:40,560 comprehensive plan i argue that this 2162 01:27:40,560 --> 01:27:42,560 proposed pud does not meet any of our 2163 01:27:42,560 --> 01:27:44,159 strategic goals outlined in the comp 2164 01:27:44,159 --> 01:27:46,159 plan without mitigating the risk of 2165 01:27:46,159 --> 01:27:48,719 potential long-term harmful effects i 2166 01:27:48,719 --> 01:27:50,560 understand we are in a very challenging 2167 01:27:50,560 --> 01:27:51,920 time in this community and there is 2168 01:27:51,920 --> 01:27:53,760 certainly a housing shortage and 2169 01:27:53,760 --> 01:27:55,840 approving the pud might seem like it's 2170 01:27:55,840 --> 01:27:57,280 helping some of these problems in the 2171 01:27:57,280 --> 01:27:59,120 short term but i would argue that we'd 2172 01:27:59,120 --> 01:28:01,920 be doing larger damage in the long term 2173 01:28:01,920 --> 01:28:04,000 just like johnny dredd when i moved here 2174 01:28:04,000 --> 01:28:05,760 i went here six years ago and i could 2175 01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:08,080 have moved anywhere i moved three times 2176 01:28:08,080 --> 01:28:10,400 in three different states in a matter of 2177 01:28:10,400 --> 01:28:12,400 a year what brought me to yellow springs 2178 01:28:12,400 --> 01:28:14,000 was the magic and the culture of this 2179 01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:16,080 town i fell in love with this community 2180 01:28:16,080 --> 01:28:18,800 and i jumped in wholeheartedly i started 2181 01:28:18,800 --> 01:28:21,120 porch fest i'm a chamber member i'm 2182 01:28:21,120 --> 01:28:23,120 trying to save the chamber i open a 2183 01:28:23,120 --> 01:28:25,280 business in town i employ people here in 2184 01:28:25,280 --> 01:28:26,159 town 2185 01:28:26,159 --> 01:28:29,840 and what i have to say is if we become 2186 01:28:29,840 --> 01:28:31,360 more and more like the neighboring 2187 01:28:31,360 --> 01:28:34,400 communities what's going to keep me here 2188 01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:37,280 i voted for the levy i don't have kids 2189 01:28:37,280 --> 01:28:39,760 you know i care about this place what's 2190 01:28:39,760 --> 01:28:41,199 going to bring other people like me to 2191 01:28:41,199 --> 01:28:43,120 talent if we just become more and more 2192 01:28:43,120 --> 01:28:45,040 like fairborn and beaver creek 2193 01:28:45,040 --> 01:28:47,600 please do not approve this pud we can do 2194 01:28:47,600 --> 01:28:49,199 so much better together we just have to 2195 01:28:49,199 --> 01:28:51,120 work together and if we all knew about 2196 01:28:51,120 --> 01:28:52,639 this two years ago i feel like we'd have 2197 01:28:52,639 --> 01:29:08,070 a much better plan in place 2198 01:29:08,080 --> 01:29:10,719 one reason why this pud should be turned 2199 01:29:10,719 --> 01:29:13,920 down is the significant loss of tax 2200 01:29:13,920 --> 01:29:17,280 revenue to the village of approving it 2201 01:29:17,280 --> 01:29:20,159 not counting any real property taxes or 2202 01:29:20,159 --> 01:29:22,400 utility fees related to the affordable 2203 01:29:22,400 --> 01:29:23,440 units 2204 01:29:23,440 --> 01:29:26,320 over the next 10 years alone the tax 2205 01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:28,679 loss will be 213 2206 01:29:28,679 --> 01:29:32,159 630. that is extremely conservative and 2207 01:29:32,159 --> 01:29:34,719 it's based on the 40 million dollar 2208 01:29:34,719 --> 01:29:37,040 valuation that i saw in brian housha's 2209 01:29:37,040 --> 01:29:40,719 memo which i think is is what is way 2210 01:29:40,719 --> 01:29:42,719 below what the actual 2211 01:29:42,719 --> 01:29:44,000 value of 2212 01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:46,639 all single family development would be 2213 01:29:46,639 --> 01:29:49,760 i think the tax loss way outweighs what 2214 01:29:49,760 --> 01:29:51,520 the village is getting 2215 01:29:51,520 --> 01:29:55,840 it is not worth the 1.7 acres it's 2216 01:29:55,840 --> 01:29:58,320 a minuscule amount for what's happening 2217 01:29:58,320 --> 01:30:00,000 on that land 2218 01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:01,840 the schools will lose about half the 2219 01:30:01,840 --> 01:30:02,960 taxes 2220 01:30:02,960 --> 01:30:04,480 the village would be better off 2221 01:30:04,480 --> 01:30:06,800 rejecting this pud 2222 01:30:06,800 --> 01:30:09,360 single family residences 2223 01:30:09,360 --> 01:30:12,719 by eight eight eight out of ten people 2224 01:30:12,719 --> 01:30:14,960 under the age of 55 2225 01:30:14,960 --> 01:30:18,239 want single family residences those are 2226 01:30:18,239 --> 01:30:21,760 families for the schools the the mix of 2227 01:30:21,760 --> 01:30:24,159 housing do not mistake diversity of 2228 01:30:24,159 --> 01:30:27,520 housing choices for diversity of people 2229 01:30:27,520 --> 01:30:29,760 i think we will get many more diverse 2230 01:30:29,760 --> 01:30:32,400 people with single families coming in 2231 01:30:32,400 --> 01:30:34,719 and bringing their kids and hopefully a 2232 01:30:34,719 --> 01:30:36,800 very diverse group of them the 2233 01:30:36,800 --> 01:30:38,560 development will not mitigate 2234 01:30:38,560 --> 01:30:40,639 gentrification 2235 01:30:40,639 --> 01:30:45,120 the price points are simply too high 2236 01:30:45,120 --> 01:30:49,199 at 250 000 which is probably the low end 2237 01:30:49,199 --> 01:30:50,400 a 20 2238 01:30:50,400 --> 01:30:51,760 down mortgage 2239 01:30:51,760 --> 01:30:53,840 is a mortgage payment a down payment of 2240 01:30:53,840 --> 01:30:56,080 50 000 2241 01:30:56,080 --> 01:30:59,040 i mean that these are not starter homes 2242 01:30:59,040 --> 01:31:02,719 so what very little we're getting for 2243 01:31:02,719 --> 01:31:04,880 afford like some land for affordable 2244 01:31:04,880 --> 01:31:07,199 housing i think what the village should 2245 01:31:07,199 --> 01:31:08,000 do 2246 01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:10,639 is take that money put it in the bank go 2247 01:31:10,639 --> 01:31:13,199 buy some infill land somewhere else and 2248 01:31:13,199 --> 01:31:15,199 build and do a pocket neighborhood or 2249 01:31:15,199 --> 01:31:16,400 affordable 2250 01:31:16,400 --> 01:31:19,440 but don't lose that tax revenue for 2251 01:31:19,440 --> 01:31:21,360 forever 2252 01:31:21,360 --> 01:31:23,440 and that's what you're doing by by doing 2253 01:31:23,440 --> 01:31:25,679 this pud thank you very

where 2478 01:39:59,119 --> 01:40:01,520 the last meeting it was a choice 2479 01:40:01,520 --> 01:40:04,560 um i i believe that things do change a 2480 01:40:04,560 --> 01:40:07,119 lot so um i'd like to talk about the 2481 01:40:07,119 --> 01:40:09,560 modifications it's segregated 2482 01:40:09,560 --> 01:40:11,840 socioeconomically i do not like the look 2483 01:40:11,840 --> 01:40:14,639 of that and george ogre you were quoted 2484 01:40:14,639 --> 01:40:16,400 in a business journal 2485 01:40:16,400 --> 01:40:19,040 article from last 2486 01:40:19,040 --> 01:40:20,880 i didn't know if it was last august i 2487 01:40:20,880 --> 01:40:22,960 don't have it in front of me 2488 01:40:22,960 --> 01:40:23,679 but 2489 01:40:23,679 --> 01:40:26,000 you said you understood the sensibility 2490 01:40:26,000 --> 01:40:27,920 of yellow springs and we're going to try 2491 01:40:27,920 --> 01:40:29,600 to emulate that 2492 01:40:29,600 --> 01:40:30,480 and 2493 01:40:30,480 --> 01:40:32,880 the plan that you've developed does not 2494 01:40:32,880 --> 01:40:35,040 emulate that 2495 01:40:35,040 --> 01:40:37,360 i can't understand how you can say that 2496 01:40:37,360 --> 01:40:39,760 and then and in the same article it was 2497 01:40:39,760 --> 01:40:40,639 mentioned 2498 01:40:40,639 --> 01:40:42,880 the bowen study which 2499 01:40:42,880 --> 01:40:44,719 said we needed houses that started at 2500 01:40:44,719 --> 01:40:47,360 the price point of 150. 2501 01:40:47,360 --> 01:40:48,560 and 2502 01:40:48,560 --> 01:40:50,480 i just don't understand how that 2503 01:40:50,480 --> 01:40:51,840 information 2504 01:40:51,840 --> 01:40:54,719 was in this interview with you i really 2505 01:40:54,719 --> 01:40:55,920 it's 2506 01:40:55,920 --> 01:40:57,920 people in the business world 2507 01:40:57,920 --> 01:40:59,679 actually believe that i guess it's in 2508 01:40:59,679 --> 01:41:02,400 print um it's not happening here 2509 01:41:02,400 --> 01:41:04,960 the the three bedroom condos in your 2510 01:41:04,960 --> 01:41:08,000 brochure were listed at 389 starting at 2511 01:41:08,000 --> 01:41:09,440 389 2512 01:41:09,440 --> 01:41:12,000 and you didn't put the two-bedroom condo 2513 01:41:12,000 --> 01:41:12,880 price 2514 01:41:12,880 --> 01:41:15,840 but the three-bedroom homes it would be 2515 01:41:15,840 --> 01:41:17,360 residence a 2516 01:41:17,360 --> 01:41:19,199 start at 3 30 2517 01:41:19,199 --> 01:41:21,280 according to your brochure so there's a 2518 01:41:21,280 --> 01:41:23,199 lot of numbers that are off and then 2519 01:41:23,199 --> 01:41:25,119 later in the council video you floated 2520 01:41:25,119 --> 01:41:27,679 numbers it's all verbal so it's like 2521 01:41:27,679 --> 01:41:31,119 well oh we could do 250 or maybe 150 and 2522 01:41:31,119 --> 01:41:33,520 you know no wonder we're confused and we 2523 01:41:33,520 --> 01:41:35,920 need time to have more information we 2524 01:41:35,920 --> 01:41:38,000 need to have interaction directly with 2525 01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:39,920 you george over because 2526 01:41:39,920 --> 01:41:42,480 if you had a relationship all of us here 2527 01:41:42,480 --> 01:41:44,239 and had coffee with us you might feel 2528 01:41:44,239 --> 01:41:45,360 differently 2529 01:41:45,360 --> 01:41:48,080 and we might make some sense out of this 2530 01:41:48,080 --> 01:41:50,800 and what i believe is that a referendum 2531 01:41:50,800 --> 01:41:53,280 would really show the will of the people 2532 01:41:53,280 --> 01:41:56,320 i mean it's terrible to put this on your 2533 01:41:56,320 --> 01:41:58,320 shoulders council members because it's a 2534 01:41:58,320 --> 01:42:00,560 lot of weighty decision 2535 01:42:00,560 --> 01:42:02,560 on this plan and you should have asked 2536 01:42:02,560 --> 01:42:04,960 for referendum counties do this they 2537 01:42:04,960 --> 01:42:08,320 asked in the from the get-go oh we don't 2538 01:42:08,320 --> 01:42:10,639 want to decide this as as council 2539 01:42:10,639 --> 01:42:13,040 members let's let's have a referendum 2540 01:42:13,040 --> 01:42:18,070 and that kind of singles that matters 2541 01:42:18,080

know why the village council 2549 01:42:44,639 --> 01:42:46,639 will be afraid of litigation from a 24 2550 01:42:46,639 --> 01:42:49,520 million a year company while it it's out 2551 01:42:49,520 --> 01:42:52,159 the 65 million a year company 2552 01:42:52,159 --> 01:42:53,679 i cannot believe you would make me 2553 01:42:53,679 --> 01:42:54,800 audition 2554 01:42:54,800 --> 01:42:57,920 for you you look like clowns 2555 01:42:57,920 --> 01:42:59,679 i am not bluffing 2556 01:42:59,679 --> 01:43:01,760 i will take it all off the table 2557 01:43:01,760 --> 01:43:04,239 that's all thank you 2558 01:43:04,239 --> 01:43:06,159 okay 2559 01:43:06,159 --> 01:43:07,440 all right 2560 01:43:07,440 --> 01:43:08,480 so 2561 01:43:08,480 --> 01:43:11,199 um i'm gonna formally open the public 2562 01:43:11,199 --> 01:43:12,159 hearing 2563 01:43:12,159 --> 01:43:14,560 and um i want to do a little bit of fact 2564 01:43:14,560 --> 01:43:16,560 checking um 2565 01:43:16,560 --> 01:43:19,440 and then we're gonna have uh 2566 01:43:19,440 --> 01:43:21,920 denise free and a few other people uh uh 2567 01:43:21,920 --> 01:43:23,520 present and then council is going to 2568 01:43:23,520 --> 01:43:24,880 make a decision 2569 01:43:24,880 --> 01:43:25,920 um 2570 01:43:25,920 --> 01:43:28,960 so uh laura curless uh 2571 01:43:28,960 --> 01:43:31,679 did a commentary on the memo that i put 2572 01:43:31,679 --> 01:43:33,679 into the packet and she referred to that 2573 01:43:33,679 --> 01:43:34,800 earlier 2574 01:43:34,800 --> 01:43:35,600 um 2575 01:43:35,600 --> 01:43:38,000 she very factually has stated that the 2576 01:43:38,000 --> 01:43:41,199 village is going to lose 213 000 in tax 2577 01:43:41,199 --> 01:43:43,600 revenue and i want to comment on that 2578 01:43:43,600 --> 01:43:45,119 because 2579 01:43:45,119 --> 01:43:48,400 uh first of all uh and it was really odd 2580 01:43:48,400 --> 01:43:49,520 to me 2581 01:43:49,520 --> 01:43:52,320 that that was the one modification of my 2582 01:43:52,320 --> 01:43:54,400 table that laura made where she removed 2583 01:43:54,400 --> 01:43:56,320 the reference to the fact that the 2584 01:43:56,320 --> 01:43:58,960 valuation did not include the 2585 01:43:58,960 --> 01:44:01,920 24 plus affordable units 2586 01:44:01,920 --> 01:44:04,000 um and then there was a variety of back 2587 01:44:04,000 --> 01:44:05,440 and forth today but i do want to 2588 01:44:05,440 --> 01:44:06,719 highlight that 2589 01:44:06,719 --> 01:44:09,679 not only is tax revenue not a criteria 2590 01:44:09,679 --> 01:44:12,320 for making our decision about the pud 2591 01:44:12,320 --> 01:44:13,840 but also 2592 01:44:13,840 --> 01:44:15,040 um 2593 01:44:15,040 --> 01:44:16,960 no one has a crystal ball about what's 2594 01:44:16,960 --> 01:44:18,480 going to happen with property values 2595 01:44:18,480 --> 01:44:20,960 which by the way are a small part of the 2596 01:44:20,960 --> 01:44:22,719 village's revenue 2597 01:44:22,719 --> 01:44:23,920 one of the things that we have to keep 2598 01:44:23,920 --> 01:44:26,480 in mind is that um when we have a 2599 01:44:26,480 --> 01:44:28,960 diversity of homes especially affordable 2600 01:44:28,960 --> 01:44:32,159 homes that means people who want to live 2601 01:44:32,159 --> 01:44:35,520 and work here can do so um uh when we 2602 01:44:35,520 --> 01:44:37,760 talk about things like going straight 2603 01:44:37,760 --> 01:44:40,000 single family homes and uh 2604 01:44:40,000 --> 01:44:41,679 someone referred to it as kind of the 2605 01:44:41,679 --> 01:44:44,239 stepford uh development 2606 01:44:44,239 --> 01:44:46,719 then i mean that likely means that we're 2607 01:44:46,719 --> 01:44:48,560 talking about a lot of people that will 2608 01:44:48,560 --> 01:44:51,199 not be working in town and will not be 2609 01:44:51,199 --> 01:44:52,400 supporting 2610 01:44:52,400 --> 01:44:54,480 all the services directly through their 2611 01:44:54,480 --> 01:44:56,480 income tax so 2612 01:44:56,480 --> 01:44:58,159 i think that 2613 01:44:58,159 --> 01:44:59,119 for 2614 01:44:59,119 --> 01:45:01,600 laura to speak so confidently about the 2615 01:45:01,600 --> 01:45:03,920 tax revenues she doesn't know no one 2616 01:45:03,920 --> 01:45:06,159 knows all right we've got some estimates 2617 01:45:06,159 --> 01:45:07,679 honestly it's probably going to come out 2618 01:45:07,679 --> 01:45:09,040 to be the same 2619 01:45:09,040 --> 01:45:12,400 um i also want to point out it wasn't 2620 01:45:12,400 --> 01:45:14,400 raised but in her memo 2621 01:45:14,400 --> 01:45:17,040 laura points out that um 2622 01:45:17,040 --> 01:45:19,920 she thinks that there's a four to one 2623 01:45:19,920 --> 01:45:20,880 uh 2624 01:45:20,880 --> 01:45:23,520 against the pud because of the number of 2625 01:45:23,520 --> 01:45:26,080 people that have spoken at our meetings 2626 01:45:26,080 --> 01:45:28,800 or written letters she knows well and i 2627 01:45:28,800 --> 01:45:31,119 know all other council members know 2628 01:45:31,119 --> 01:45:33,600 that um the folks that come to council 2629 01:45:33,600 --> 01:45:36,560 meetings the people that write um are 2630 01:45:36,560 --> 01:45:38,159 not necessarily representing the 2631 01:45:38,159 --> 01:45:40,960 majority and we've said before it's not 2632 01:45:40,960 --> 01:45:42,400 about quantity 2633 01:45:42,400 --> 01:45:44,159 in terms of how many people speak it's 2634 01:45:44,159 --> 01:45:46,639 about quality but i think today we did 2635 01:45:46,639 --> 01:45:49,840 see a balance of a variety of comments 2636 01:45:49,840 --> 01:45:51,920 um the last thing 2637 01:45:51,920 --> 01:45:53,520 uh 2638 01:45:53,520 --> 01:45:56,080 is this reference to the idea that we 2639 01:45:56,080 --> 01:45:59,440 can deny the pud and then we can change 2640 01:45:59,440 --> 01:46:02,080 the zoning in the interim 2641 01:46:02,080 --> 01:46:05,199 and get a better property i think 2642 01:46:05,199 --> 01:46:06,719 as a lawyer 2643 01:46:06,719 --> 01:46:08,800 uh hopefully there's an understanding 2644 01:46:08,800 --> 01:46:10,320 that that is not something that is 2645 01:46:10,320 --> 01:46:12,159 viable and would certainly open up the 2646 01:46:12,159 --> 01:46:13,520 village to 2647 01:46:13,520 --> 01:46:16,880 uh exposure so i i do not see that as a 2648 01:46:16,880 --> 01:46:19,360 viable option i can't imagine that that 2649 01:46:19,360 --> 01:46:21,119 is something that we would do 2650 01:46:21,119 --> 01:46:24,159 so with that um i'd like denise swinger 2651 01:46:24,159 --> 01:46:26,080 to talk a little bit about 2652 01:46:26,080 --> 01:46:28,000 what the planning commission looked at 2653 01:46:28,000 --> 01:46:29,679 with the 2654 01:46:29,679 --> 01:46:33,440 factors of what the pud brings 2655 01:46:33,440 --> 01:46:35,600 because there's been a focus on 2656 01:46:35,600 --> 01:46:37,280 three factors 2657 01:46:37,280 --> 01:46:38,880 they are not necessarily the three 2658 01:46:38,880 --> 01:46:40,719 factors that 2659 01:46:40,719 --> 01:46:42,880 the uh planning commission decided on 2660 01:46:42,880 --> 01:46:44,880 for those that read the minutes and 2661 01:46:44,880 --> 01:46:46,960 watch the meeting 2662 01:46:46,960 --> 01:46:49,280 what was concluded is that at least 2663 01:46:49,280 --> 01:46:53,199 three factors uh were met 2664 01:46:53,199 --> 01:46:55,600 denise talks about five and denise if 2665 01:46:55,600 --> 01:46:57,119 you'd like to just kind of briefly 2666 01:46:57,119 --> 01:46:58,800 highlight that and then we're going to 2667 01:46:58,800 --> 01:47:00,159 talk a little bit about some of the 2668 01:47:00,159 --> 01:47:01,600 other legal 2669 01:47:01,600 --> 01:47:02,960 uh issues 2670 01:47:02,960 --> 01:47:04,960 uh brian i don't actually have that 2671 01:47:04,960 --> 01:47:06,400 document in front of me right now but 2672 01:47:06,400 --> 01:47:08,560 the factors they had to meet at least 2673 01:47:08,560 --> 01:47:11,119 three benefits out of eight 2674 01:47:11,119 --> 01:47:13,040 as i recall um 2675 01:47:13,040 --> 01:47:16,320 one of those was a mix of housing types 2676 01:47:16,320 --> 01:47:19,920 which this has um one was connectivity 2677 01:47:19,920 --> 01:47:21,920 within the development and to other 2678 01:47:21,920 --> 01:47:23,600 surrounding properties 2679 01:47:23,600 --> 01:47:29,750 and let's see they also had 2680 01:47:29,760 --> 01:47:31,199 one 2681 01:47:31,199 --> 01:47:34,000 about the open space they they more than 2682 01:47:34,000 --> 01:47:36,560 met the open space requirement which was 2683 01:47:36,560 --> 01:47:38,000 only 15 2684 01:47:38,000 --> 01:47:40,320 of open space um and they were at a 2685 01:47:40,320 --> 01:47:42,080 little bit less than 2686 01:47:42,080 --> 01:47:44,719 23 percent 2687 01:47:44,719 --> 01:47:47,199 i think um 2688 01:47:47,199 --> 01:47:49,280 reiterating actually what don johnson 2689 01:47:49,280 --> 01:47:50,480 said 2690 01:47:50,480 --> 01:47:52,080 you know 2691 01:47:52,080 --> 01:47:54,080 we have these choices i i feel we have 2692 01:47:54,080 --> 01:47:56,159 three choices 2693 01:47:56,159 --> 01:47:57,119 we have 2694 01:47:57,119 --> 01:47:58,400 the pud 2695 01:47:58,400 --> 01:48:00,880 we have residential a 2696 01:48:00,880 --> 01:48:01,920 or 2697 01:48:01,920 --> 01:48:03,679 we as a community 2698 01:48:03,679 --> 01:48:05,679 makes an offer to ober 2699 01:48:05,679 --> 01:48:08,960 to buy buy it from them you know what 2700 01:48:08,960 --> 01:48:10,719 what that price would be i don't know 2701 01:48:10,719 --> 01:48:12,320 but i mean that's the only other option 2702 01:48:12,320 --> 01:48:15,440 i see are those three and i don't know 2703 01:48:15,440 --> 01:48:18,400 that the community has 2704 01:48:18,400 --> 01:48:21,199 approached over i have anybody within 2705 01:48:21,199 --> 01:48:23,600 the community has approached over 2706 01:48:23,600 --> 01:48:24,400 to 2707 01:48:24,400 --> 01:48:25,920 buy it from them 2708 01:48:25,920 --> 01:48:27,760 i have i don't have any information on 2709 01:48:27,760 --> 01:48:30,960 that um so we as staff only can deal 2710 01:48:30,960 --> 01:48:33,360 with the code that we would that we have 2711 01:48:33,360 --> 01:48:35,679 and we um 2712 01:48:35,679 --> 01:48:37,920 when we first met with ober what ober 2713 01:48:37,920 --> 01:48:40,639 proposed was 2714 01:48:40,639 --> 01:48:43,440 following the miami townships code for 2715 01:48:43,440 --> 01:48:45,440 the 30 acres that are in the township 2716 01:48:45,440 --> 01:48:47,440 they were going to do 2717 01:48:47,440 --> 01:48:50,639 large lots 10 000 square foot or more 2718 01:48:50,639 --> 01:48:52,800 and larger homes and then on the portion 2719 01:48:52,800 --> 01:48:54,480 that was in the village they were going 2720 01:48:54,480 --> 01:48:56,400 to do single family homes and they were 2721 01:48:56,400 --> 01:48:59,040 going to follow our our 7 500 square 2722 01:48:59,040 --> 01:49:01,199 foot requirement 2723 01:49:01,199 --> 01:49:02,719 and that was going to be it i mean they 2724 01:49:02,719 --> 01:49:04,719 really approached us with single family 2725 01:49:04,719 --> 01:49:06,719 a major subdivision 2726 01:49:06,719 --> 01:49:10,239 and and we as staff said what about the 2727 01:49:10,239 --> 01:49:12,719 pud because with the pud there's more 2728 01:49:12,719 --> 01:49:14,639 flexibility we could get some of some of 2729 01:49:14,639 --> 01:49:16,000 the other things that the community 2730 01:49:16,000 --> 01:49:18,320 values that is the affordable housing 2731 01:49:18,320 --> 01:49:20,639 component however that was going to turn 2732 01:49:20,639 --> 01:49:23,040 out we never promoted it as an 2733 01:49:23,040 --> 01:49:24,800 affordable housing project we knew it 2734 01:49:24,800 --> 01:49:26,800 wasn't going to be that 2735 01:49:26,800 --> 01:49:28,400 the connectivity 2736 01:49:28,400 --> 01:49:30,560 the constructed wetlands for the low 2737 01:49:30,560 --> 01:49:32,159 impact development 2738 01:49:32,159 --> 01:49:34,800 um the in the variety of housing types 2739 01:49:34,800 --> 01:49:37,760 so i mean that was what we had 2740 01:49:37,760 --> 01:49:41,119 through the pud that we could work with 2741 01:49:41,119 --> 01:49:44,159 and that's pretty much it 2742 01:49:44,159 --> 01:49:45,920 all right thanks denise 2743 01:49:45,920 --> 01:49:46,719 um 2744 01:49:46,719 --> 01:49:49,760 so i i wanted brianne to respond to uh 2745 01:49:49,760 --> 01:49:51,440 there was some other some other 2746 01:49:51,440 --> 01:49:53,440 documents that we got um that were a 2747 01:49:53,440 --> 01:49:54,960 little bit confusing 2748 01:49:54,960 --> 01:49:56,880 um but i think it relates to this idea 2749 01:49:56,880 --> 01:49:59,920 of making a decision out of fear and i 2750 01:49:59,920 --> 01:50:02,400 can definitely confirm that um 2751 01:50:02,400 --> 01:50:07,040 i'm not there at all uh i am focused on 2752 01:50:07,040 --> 01:50:09,599 our decision criteria which is around 2753 01:50:09,599 --> 01:50:11,119 the pud 2754 01:50:11,119 --> 01:50:12,639 and um 2755 01:50:12,639 --> 01:50:13,760 you know i think one of the things that 2756 01:50:13,760 --> 01:50:16,239 can often be intimidating is when 2757 01:50:16,239 --> 01:50:19,040 legal action is threatened especially 2758 01:50:19,040 --> 01:50:20,960 for folks that don't have a legal 2759 01:50:20,960 --> 01:50:22,719 background um 2760 01:50:22,719 --> 01:50:24,560 it can be intimidating 2761 01:50:24,560 --> 01:50:27,920 and um we received a memo 2762 01:50:27,920 --> 01:50:30,719 it was actually dated february 1st 2020 2763 01:50:30,719 --> 01:50:33,840 but i assume that it wasn't done two 2764 01:50:33,840 --> 01:50:36,960 years ago from um i assumed it was a law 2765 01:50:36,960 --> 01:50:39,280 firm but i've been told that maybe it's 2766 01:50:39,280 --> 01:50:41,199 a group of consultants 2767 01:50:41,199 --> 01:50:43,840 about uh and from california 2768 01:50:43,840 --> 01:50:49,040 uh analyzing um our code and uh 2769 01:50:49,040 --> 01:50:53,119 throwing around the use of spot zoning 2770 01:50:53,119 --> 01:50:55,440 and also talking about 2771 01:50:55,440 --> 01:50:59,520 this idea of placing the homes away from 2772 01:50:59,520 --> 01:51:00,960 the core 2773 01:51:00,960 --> 01:51:03,119 of yellow springs 2774 01:51:03,119 --> 01:51:06,560 now i can accept that a california firm 2775 01:51:06,560 --> 01:51:09,199 or consultancy would not understand the 2776 01:51:09,199 --> 01:51:11,679 scale of yellow springs and so you know 2777 01:51:11,679 --> 01:51:14,880 this idea of there being a really strong 2778 01:51:14,880 --> 01:51:18,320 argument around the placement of homes a 2779 01:51:18,320 --> 01:51:20,480 couple hundred yards further away from 2780 01:51:20,480 --> 01:51:21,679 downtown 2781 01:51:21,679 --> 01:51:22,719 um 2782 01:51:22,719 --> 01:51:24,800 i don't see how there could really be a 2783 01:51:24,800 --> 01:51:26,800 a strong legal argument there and so i 2784 01:51:26,800 --> 01:51:27,599 was 2785 01:51:27,599 --> 01:51:29,760 kind of surprised that a dayton lawyer 2786 01:51:29,760 --> 01:51:32,239 um would support that argument as well 2787 01:51:32,239 --> 01:51:34,400 um but i guess i wanted 2788 01:51:34,400 --> 01:51:37,920 brienne to clarify this spot zoning 2789 01:51:37,920 --> 01:51:40,080 thing because um 2790 01:51:40,080 --> 01:51:42,400 it seems like a pretty uh strong 2791 01:51:42,400 --> 01:51:43,679 accusation 2792 01:51:43,679 --> 01:51:45,920 to be making in relation to the pud that 2793 01:51:45,920 --> 01:51:47,679 we're talking about tonight so brienne 2794 01:51:47,679 --> 01:51:49,760 if you can just kind of speak to 2795 01:51:49,760 --> 01:51:50,719 some of the 2796 01:51:50,719 --> 01:51:52,159 the legal 2797 01:51:52,159 --> 01:51:54,639 actions that have been brought up 2798 01:51:54,639 --> 01:51:55,840 sure brian 2799 01:51:55,840 --> 01:51:58,239 so for everyone who's got a law degree 2800 01:51:58,239 --> 01:51:59,440 or doesn't 2801 01:51:59,440 --> 01:52:01,520 and i'm including the california 2802 01:52:01,520 --> 01:52:03,520 consultant in that 2803 01:52:03,520 --> 01:52:06,159 i am sure that california consultant is 2804 01:52:06,159 --> 01:52:07,679 not familiar with the case of voice 2805 01:52:07,679 --> 01:52:09,679 versus village of ottawa hills which 2806 01:52:09,679 --> 01:52:11,760 basically says the property owner has an 2807 01:52:11,760 --> 01:52:13,840 expectation interest 2808 01:52:13,840 --> 01:52:15,679 in the current zoning 2809 01:52:15,679 --> 01:52:16,880 so 2810 01:52:16,880 --> 01:52:18,960 um this idea that 2811 01:52:18,960 --> 01:52:21,440 as brian said is floating around out 2812 01:52:21,440 --> 01:52:24,159 there that council can deny the pud 2813 01:52:24,159 --> 01:52:26,480 and then somehow get zoning changed from 2814 01:52:26,480 --> 01:52:28,400 ra without the consent of the property 2815 01:52:28,400 --> 01:52:29,679 owner 2816 01:52:29,679 --> 01:52:32,239 is not going to move forward the ohio 2817 01:52:32,239 --> 01:52:34,080 supreme court has ruled and put that to 2818 01:52:34,080 --> 01:52:36,000 bed in voice versus village of ottawa 2819 01:52:36,000 --> 01:52:38,880 hills that was back in 2014 2820 01:52:38,880 --> 01:52:41,280 now as to the issue of spot zoning our 2821 01:52:41,280 --> 01:52:43,840 code is 2822 01:52:43,840 --> 01:52:46,960 succinct on the issue of spot zoning 2823 01:52:46,960 --> 01:52:49,599 it basically says it's singling out a 2824 01:52:49,599 --> 01:52:51,119 small 2825 01:52:51,119 --> 01:52:54,000 area or a lot for discriminatory or 2826 01:52:54,000 --> 01:52:55,679 different treatment from that according 2827 01:52:55,679 --> 01:52:57,679 surrounding land which is similar in 2828 01:52:57,679 --> 01:52:59,760 character 2829 01:52:59,760 --> 01:53:02,719 well this is not a lot this is not a 2830 01:53:02,719 --> 01:53:04,320 small area 2831 01:53:04,320 --> 01:53:05,920 but more importantly this is a 2832 01:53:05,920 --> 01:53:08,400 residential pud that's proposed 2833 01:53:08,400 --> 01:53:10,800 so it is not being recorded different 2834 01:53:10,800 --> 01:53:13,280 treatment because a pud application must 2835 01:53:13,280 --> 01:53:15,520 be submitted by the property owner it is 2836 01:53:15,520 --> 01:53:17,840 not something the village can force on a 2837 01:53:17,840 --> 01:53:20,639 developer the developer has negotiated 2838 01:53:20,639 --> 01:53:22,960 with us on this put 2839 01:53:22,960 --> 01:53:24,159 again 2840 01:53:24,159 --> 01:53:25,440 denise just 2841 01:53:25,440 --> 01:53:27,840 advised the village in fact proposed the 2842 01:53:27,840 --> 01:53:28,639 putt 2843 01:53:28,639 --> 01:53:30,960 because oberer was perfectly fine with 2844 01:53:30,960 --> 01:53:34,880 proposing an ra development per our code 2845 01:53:34,880 --> 01:53:37,280 every parcel that was annexed came in ra 2846 01:53:37,280 --> 01:53:40,960 that's been the code since 2013. so in 2847 01:53:40,960 --> 01:53:42,719 terms of what the council and the 2848 01:53:42,719 --> 01:53:44,639 planning commission had to consider 2849 01:53:44,639 --> 01:53:47,760 under the pug code under 125406 you've 2850 01:53:47,760 --> 01:53:49,920 got multiple factors to consider and it 2851 01:53:49,920 --> 01:53:52,639 says the reviewing body shall consider 2852 01:53:52,639 --> 01:53:55,040 all these things that applies equally to 2853 01:53:55,040 --> 01:53:56,880 council and the planning commission when 2854 01:53:56,880 --> 01:53:58,880 they're reviewing those 2855 01:53:58,880 --> 01:54:00,000 so 2856 01:54:00,000 --> 01:54:02,159 in terms of this 2857 01:54:02,159 --> 01:54:05,119 not available or achievable under 2858 01:54:05,119 --> 01:54:07,119 conventional zoning 2859 01:54:07,119 --> 01:54:09,599 that's up to council to decide in terms 2860 01:54:09,599 --> 01:54:10,719 of 2861 01:54:10,719 --> 01:54:13,440 spot zoning a pud is 2862 01:54:13,440 --> 01:54:15,760 not spot zoning again it's not a single 2863 01:54:15,760 --> 01:54:18,639 lot it's not a small area under our 2864 01:54:18,639 --> 01:54:21,280 definition of spot zoning a planned unit 2865 01:54:21,280 --> 01:54:24,560 development is not

--> 01:54:37,679 conflict of interest 2874 01:54:37,679 --> 01:54:39,440 sure 2875 01:54:39,440 --> 01:54:42,400 early in this process i identified 2876 01:54:42,400 --> 01:54:44,239 several planning commission and council 2877 01:54:44,239 --> 01:54:47,199 members who based on things they had 2878 01:54:47,199 --> 01:54:49,119 said communications 2879 01:54:49,119 --> 01:54:51,679 may have a conflict of interest 2880 01:54:51,679 --> 01:54:52,480 and 2881 01:54:52,480 --> 01:54:54,080 some of these were on the appearance of 2882 01:54:54,080 --> 01:54:56,880 impropriety alone as most people know 2883 01:54:56,880 --> 01:54:58,480 our chairman 2884 01:54:58,480 --> 01:55:00,400 of the planning and zoning commission 2885 01:55:00,400 --> 01:55:03,040 owns property across spillan from the 2886 01:55:03,040 --> 01:55:05,679 development we sought guidance from the 2887 01:55:05,679 --> 01:55:08,719 ohio ethics commission and initially i 2888 01:55:08,719 --> 01:55:11,040 had advised him based on appearance of 2889 01:55:11,040 --> 01:55:13,360 impropriety alone that he should 2890 01:55:13,360 --> 01:55:15,679 probably recuse because 2891 01:55:15,679 --> 01:55:18,320 back in the 60s when his property was an 2892 01:55:18,320 --> 01:55:21,599 extent to the village for some reason 2893 01:55:21,599 --> 01:55:23,199 the half of the road right-of-way 2894 01:55:23,199 --> 01:55:25,199 furniture was not 2895 01:55:25,199 --> 01:55:27,440 at least not on the green county maps so 2896 01:55:27,440 --> 01:55:30,000 that was an oversight from the way the 2897 01:55:30,000 --> 01:55:32,639 annexation procedures were done way back 2898 01:55:32,639 --> 01:55:34,320 when 2899 01:55:34,320 --> 01:55:36,000 in terms of 2900 01:55:36,000 --> 01:55:38,560 his name on the annexation petition 2901 01:55:38,560 --> 01:55:40,639 he didn't really have a choice 2902 01:55:40,639 --> 01:55:41,840 and then 2903 01:55:41,840 --> 01:55:44,159 advised that well that property is 2904 01:55:44,159 --> 01:55:46,320 actually encumbered with a deed 2905 01:55:46,320 --> 01:55:47,599 restriction 2906 01:55:47,599 --> 01:55:50,000 so ober's development in reviewing the 2907 01:55:50,000 --> 01:55:51,440 specific language of that deed 2908 01:55:51,440 --> 01:55:52,719 restriction 2909 01:55:52,719 --> 01:55:55,280 has almost negligible 2910 01:55:55,280 --> 01:55:56,560 if any 2911 01:55:56,560 --> 01:55:58,800 impact on that property value because of 2912 01:55:58,800 --> 01:56:01,119 that deed restriction language it cannot 2913 01:56:01,119 --> 01:56:02,719 be developed 2914 01:56:02,719 --> 01:56:04,719 ergo 2915 01:56:04,719 --> 01:56:06,320 i said 2916 01:56:06,320 --> 01:56:09,119 mr dodin you've got 2917 01:56:09,119 --> 01:56:10,480 what appears to be on his face to 2918 01:56:10,480 --> 01:56:12,560 conflict 2919 01:56:12,560 --> 01:56:15,599 but in actuality 2920 01:56:15,599 --> 01:56:17,599 is none 2921 01:56:17,599 --> 01:56:18,960 and 2922 01:56:18,960 --> 01:56:21,360 other people 2923 01:56:21,360 --> 01:56:23,840 also had questions so we submitted it to 2924 01:56:23,840 --> 01:56:26,159 the ohio ethics commission the ethics 2925 01:56:26,159 --> 01:56:27,280 commission 2926 01:56:27,280 --> 01:56:29,599 ruled on four individuals 2927 01:56:29,599 --> 01:56:32,239 some of whom did not disclose what was 2928 01:56:32,239 --> 01:56:34,880 being said 2929 01:56:34,880 --> 01:56:36,800 during the interim 2930 01:56:36,800 --> 01:56:39,669 and 2931 01:56:39,679 --> 01:56:41,280 we got the ethics

legal opinion or the ethics commission 2939 01:56:54,800 --> 01:56:57,199 gives an opinion 2940 01:56:57,199 --> 01:56:58,960 it's up to the planning commission 2941 01:56:58,960 --> 01:57:01,599 member or the council member to decide 2942 01:57:01,599 --> 01:57:04,560 whether or not they do agree with it and 2943 01:57:04,560 --> 01:57:06,719 should recuse 2944 01:57:06,719 --> 01:57:08,480 or whether they're going to carry 2945 01:57:08,480 --> 01:57:10,320 forward 2946 01:57:10,320 --> 01:57:11,679 in this case 2947 01:57:11,679 --> 01:57:13,360 mr dodin acknowledged that his 2948 01:57:13,360 --> 01:57:17,040 obligation in a quasi-judicial capacity 2949 01:57:17,040 --> 01:57:20,000 would have restricted his voting again 2950 01:57:20,000 --> 01:57:21,599 kind of his counsel is somewhat 2951 01:57:21,599 --> 01:57:23,280 obligated to based on the language of 2952 01:57:23,280 --> 01:57:24,400 the code 2953 01:57:24,400 --> 01:57:29,199 to considering those criteria in 125406 2954 01:57:29,199 --> 01:57:31,040 other individuals on planning commission 2955 01:57:31,040 --> 01:57:32,800 advised that they could not that they 2956 01:57:32,800 --> 01:57:34,880 preferred

should 2960 01:57:42,159 --> 01:57:43,840 not participate in the proceedings 2961 01:57:43,840 --> 01:57:47,350 whatsoever 2962 01:57:47,360 --> 01:57:49,760 ohio ethics law is pretty clear 2963

commission opinion 2966 01:57:58,800 --> 01:58:00,080 also said look you're free to 2967 01:58:00,080 --> 01:58:02,000 participate as private citizen when 2968 01:58:02,000 --> 01:58:05,280 matters

01:59:28,000 --> 01:59:30,320 i guess i wanted the audience to know 3003 01:59:30,320 --> 01:59:32,639 that that i actually went 3004 01:59:32,639 --> 01:59:34,719 along with my brother to see mr 3005 01:59:34,719 --> 01:59:35,760 chappelle 3006 01:59:35,760 --> 01:59:38,480 a year ago last september 3007 01:59:38,480 --> 01:59:40,560 and met with he and max crome and showed 3008 01:59:40,560 --> 01:59:43,119 him our plans he showed him at the time 3009 01:59:43,119 --> 01:59:45,119 it was a single family plan it was an ra 3010 01:59:45,119 --> 01:59:46,639 plan 3011 01:59:46,639 --> 01:59:48,159 but 3012 01:59:48,159 --> 01:59:50,480 did so more as a good neighbor than 3013 01:59:50,480 --> 01:59:52,480 anything else um 3014 01:59:52,480 --> 01:59:54,880 didn't know what might develop of it i 3015 01:59:54,880 --> 01:59:56,800 was 3016 01:59:56,800 --> 01:59:59,920 acquainted to to mr chappelle from a 3017 01:59:59,920 --> 02:00:01,360 mutual friend 3018 02:00:01,360 --> 02:00:02,960 and uh 3019 02:00:02,960 --> 02:00:04,639 understood that he spoke to the previous 3020 02:00:04,639 --> 02:00:06,400 owner about possibly purchasing part of 3021 02:00:06,400 --> 02:00:07,679 the property but 3022 02:00:07,679 --> 02:00:09,440 and i don't want to put words into mr 3023 02:00:09,440 --> 02:00:10,960 chappelle's mouth but possibly he didn't 3024 02:00:10,960 --> 02:00:13,119 want to purchase all the property 3025 02:00:13,119 --> 02:00:15,199 only some of the property and and 3026 02:00:15,199 --> 02:00:17,679 that made the property less marketable 3027 02:00:17,679 --> 02:00:20,000 for the previous owner and i think the 3028 02:00:20,000 --> 02:00:21,520 previous owner made a good decision 3029 02:00:21,520 --> 02:00:23,760 because i would not have been interested 3030 02:00:23,760 --> 02:00:26,159 in the property had 3031 02:00:26,159 --> 02:00:28,320 10 acres for an example been sold out of 3032 02:00:28,320 --> 02:00:31,750 the middle of it 3033 02:00:31,760 --> 02:00:34,229 but 3034 02:00:34,239 --> 02:00:36,000 i was not 3035 02:00:36,000 --> 02:00:37,520 made an offer to purchase the property 3036 02:00:37,520 --> 02:00:38,560 at the time 3037 02:00:38,560 --> 02:00:40,880 i didn't say i would or wouldn't sell it 3038 02:00:40,880 --> 02:00:42,480 but we were never really approached 3039 02:00:42,480 --> 02:00:45,510 about that 3040 02:00:45,520 --> 02:00:47,040 secondly i wanted to say that the real 3041 02:00:47,040 --> 02:00:49,360 estate taxes 3042 02:00:49,360 --> 02:00:51,119 in an r.a zoning 3043 02:00:51,119 --> 02:00:52,719 or a pud 3044 02:00:52,719 --> 02:00:54,560 should be 3045 02:00:54,560 --> 02:00:57,360 almost neutral 3046 02:00:57,360 --> 02:01:00,639 we can achieve the same density 3047 02:01:00,639 --> 02:01:04,239 on the current in existing ra zoning as 3048 02:01:04,239 --> 02:01:08,950 we are proposing in the pud 3049 02:01:08,960 --> 02:01:11,440 the property values 3050 02:01:11,440 --> 02:01:14,159 will vary in those but but 3051 02:01:14,159 --> 02:01:16,480 not materially i mean yeah you're going 3052 02:01:16,480 --> 02:01:18,560 to have more affordable houses in the 3053 02:01:18,560 --> 02:01:20,080 pud 3054 02:01:20,080 --> 02:01:23,040 so the total revenues might be slightly 3055 02:01:23,040 --> 02:01:25,280 less than they would 3056 02:01:25,280 --> 02:01:27,520 you know in a single family 3057 02:01:27,520 --> 02:01:28,639 uh 3058 02:01:28,639 --> 02:01:30,719 totally single-family development but 3059 02:01:30,719 --> 02:01:32,159 but they're not going to be materially 3060 02:01:32,159 --> 02:01:33,840 different 3061 02:01:33,840 --> 02:01:35,840 and secondly i wanted or third i wanted 3062 02:01:35,840 --> 02:01:37,440 to make the point that 3063 02:01:37,440 --> 02:01:38,320 if 3064 02:01:38,320 --> 02:01:40,480 real estate taxes and revenues were such 3065 02:01:40,480 --> 02:01:42,560 an issue 3066 02:01:42,560 --> 02:01:44,880 between the pud and the ra zoning why 3067 02:01:44,880 --> 02:01:47,280 why were they not an issue 3068 02:01:47,280 --> 02:01:49,599 when we discussed annexation 3069 02:01:49,599 --> 02:01:52,560 of the 30-plus acres that came from 3070 02:01:52,560 --> 02:01:54,080 miami township 3071 02:01:54,080 --> 02:01:57,360 into into the village 3072 02:01:57,360 --> 02:01:59,119 i i guess i would just like to remind 3073 02:01:59,119 --> 02:02:01,040 some of the council members that 3074 02:02:01,040 --> 02:02:03,119 that certainly wasn't an issue when we 3075 02:02:03,119 --> 02:02:05,599 discussed annexation 3076 02:02:05,599 --> 02:02:07,910 um 3077 02:02:07,920 --> 02:02:11,520 lastly uh well not lastly but next is is 3078 02:02:11,520 --> 02:02:12,639 the dump 3079 02:02:12,639 --> 02:02:14,639 is hearsay 3080 02:02:14,639 --> 02:02:15,679 and 3081 02:02:15,679 --> 02:02:19,040 nobody has offered any real evidence to 3082 02:02:19,040 --> 02:02:21,119 support this only other than a couple of 3083 02:02:21,119 --> 02:02:23,599 people claiming to have seen a barrel or 3084 02:02:23,599 --> 02:02:25,990 two 3085 02:02:26,000 --> 02:02:28,239 we've not seen any photographs 3086 02:02:28,239 --> 02:02:31,280 we've engaged a third party 3087 02:02:31,280 --> 02:02:32,719 and reputable environmental 3088 02:02:32,719 --> 02:02:36,229 investigative service 3089 02:02:36,239 --> 02:02:38,320 to to conduct a 3090 02:02:38,320 --> 02:02:41,840 phase one uh environmental study 3091 02:02:41,840 --> 02:02:44,080 now keep hearing references to a phase 3092 02:02:44,080 --> 02:02:45,679 two when there really isn't any such 3093 02:02:45,679 --> 02:02:48,719 thing as a phase two a phase one is 3094 02:02:48,719 --> 02:02:51,840 conducted to see if there's any evidence 3095 02:02:51,840 --> 02:02:53,199 of any 3096 02:02:53,199 --> 02:02:55,760 concern over contamination or pollution 3097 02:02:55,760 --> 02:02:56,800 or any 3098 02:02:56,800 --> 02:02:58,239 uh 3099 02:02:58,239 --> 02:03:00,560 foreign substances that should be 3100 02:03:00,560 --> 02:03:03,280 investigated further this report turned 3101 02:03:03,280 --> 02:03:05,599 up zero evidence that suggested that 3102 02:03:05,599 --> 02:03:07,840 there should be further investigation 3103 02:03:07,840 --> 02:03:10,880 and let me be clear that we provided 3104 02:03:10,880 --> 02:03:12,719 that to the village 3105 02:03:12,719 --> 02:03:14,400 on our own we weren't there was not a 3106 02:03:14,400 --> 02:03:16,800 requirement that was not there there's 3107 02:03:16,800 --> 02:03:19,119 no ordinance or regulation that requires 3108 02:03:19,119 --> 02:03:20,960 that we provide that but we do that 3109 02:03:20,960 --> 02:03:23,119 frankly for our own protection 3110 02:03:23,119 --> 02:03:24,239 because 3111 02:03:24,239 --> 02:03:27,119 we don't want to purchase land and buy 3112 02:03:27,119 --> 02:03:29,760 uh or develop land 3113 02:03:29,760 --> 02:03:32,239 that has an environmental problem i mean 3114 02:03:32,239 --> 02:03:33,599 i don't 3115 02:03:33,599 --> 02:03:36,400 i can't run a business and and and do 3116 02:03:36,400 --> 02:03:39,750 that 3117 02:03:39,760 --> 02:03:42,080 after that we can we hired a 3118 02:03:42,080 --> 02:03:44,960 geo-technical uh engineer that did a 3119 02:03:44,960 --> 02:03:46,960 subsurface investigation did soil 3120 02:03:46,960 --> 02:03:48,239 borings 3121 02:03:48,239 --> 02:03:49,440 that were 3122 02:03:49,440 --> 02:03:51,760 deep soil borings 20 foot 3123 02:03:51,760 --> 02:03:54,159 in some cases 3124 02:03:54,159 --> 02:03:55,520 and they were 20 foot where they could 3125 02:03:55,520 --> 02:03:57,360 be they they were stopped short of that 3126 02:03:57,360 --> 02:03:59,440 where they had bedrock 3127 02:03:59,440 --> 02:04:00,800 but 3128 02:04:00,800 --> 02:04:02,079 the uh 3129 02:04:02,079 --> 02:04:05,119 the the soil borings were done randomly 3130 02:04:05,119 --> 02:04:06,480 over the whole 3131 02:04:06,480 --> 02:04:08,800 52-acre site 3132 02:04:08,800 --> 02:04:11,520 and then the soils were analyzed for 3133 02:04:11,520 --> 02:04:14,079 both their compatibility for development 3134 02:04:14,079 --> 02:04:15,280 but also 3135 02:04:15,280 --> 02:04:16,719 for contaminants 3136 02:04:16,719 --> 02:04:19,199 and none were found 3137 02:04:19,199 --> 02:04:22,629 so 3138 02:04:22,639 --> 02:04:24,560 i guess i want to 3139 02:04:24,560 --> 02:04:26,480 and i guess i also want to say as far as 3140 02:04:26,480 --> 02:04:29,520 the 3141 02:04:29,520 --> 02:04:32,639 hazard or soils issues or or contaminate 3142 02:04:32,639 --> 02:04:34,320 contamination issues 3143 02:04:34,320 --> 02:04:36,079 you know that's really a risk that i as 3144 02:04:36,079 --> 02:04:37,760 a developer take on 3145 02:04:37,760 --> 02:04:40,719 as we develop this site and we if we 3146 02:04:40,719 --> 02:04:42,639 encounter a contaminant 3147 02:04:42,639 --> 02:04:44,320 we're going to have to 3148 02:04:44,320 --> 02:04:46,560 notify epa and deal with it in the 3149 02:04:46,560 --> 02:04:48,560 prescribed manner 3150 02:04:48,560 --> 02:04:53,119 to decontaminate the site so i don't you 3151 02:04:53,119 --> 02:04:55,520 know i'm i'm saying that i've i know of 3152 02:04:55,520 --> 02:04:58,400 no evidence of contamination but if we 3153 02:04:58,400 --> 02:05:00,239 found contamination the village would be 3154 02:05:00,239 --> 02:05:01,679 better off because it would be our 3155 02:05:01,679 --> 02:05:04,840 responsibility to clean it up 3156 02:05:04,840 --> 02:05:07,599 lastly i want to mention that 3157 02:05:07,599 --> 02:05:10,480 your zoning or comprehensive plans do 3158 02:05:10,480 --> 02:05:13,280 not require any affordable housing 3159 02:05:13,280 --> 02:05:16,320 we typically go into a community 3160 02:05:16,320 --> 02:05:18,719 that has such a good school system and 3161 02:05:18,719 --> 02:05:21,679 and uh 3162 02:05:21,679 --> 02:05:23,679 a desires community like the village of 3163 02:05:23,679 --> 02:05:25,920 yellow springs we try to bring products 3164 02:05:25,920 --> 02:05:28,480 that we already build in other locations 3165 02:05:28,480 --> 02:05:30,239 i can't 3166 02:05:30,239 --> 02:05:32,800 redesign or build make new designs for 3167 02:05:32,800 --> 02:05:34,480 every single community 3168 02:05:34,480 --> 02:05:36,000 that we've developed 3169 02:05:36,000 --> 02:05:38,400 it just doesn't make sense for us so so 3170 02:05:38,400 --> 02:05:40,719 we do try to bring 3171 02:05:40,719 --> 02:05:44,079 products that are affordable affordable 3172 02:05:44,079 --> 02:05:44,800 is 3173 02:05:44,800 --> 02:05:48,719 i suppose a a broad term but 3174 02:05:48,719 --> 02:05:51,360 but in various different price ranges to 3175 02:05:51,360 --> 02:05:53,760 make them as affordable as we can 3176 02:05:53,760 --> 02:05:56,560 but also as desirable as we can i mean 3177 02:05:56,560 --> 02:05:58,480 we know from our marketing research we 3178 02:05:58,480 --> 02:06:01,199 know from building in other communities 3179 02:06:01,199 --> 02:06:03,840 what sells and what's affordable 3180 02:06:03,840 --> 02:06:06,239 to some of the population and what's not 3181 02:06:06,239 --> 02:06:07,840 in this case 3182 02:06:07,840 --> 02:06:09,599 the only reason that there's an 3183 02:06:09,599 --> 02:06:11,280 affordable piece of 3184 02:06:11,280 --> 02:06:14,480 this property being proposed is because 3185 02:06:14,480 --> 02:06:18,079 of negotiations with the village 3186 02:06:18,079 --> 02:06:20,719 certain council members in including uh 3187 02:06:20,719 --> 02:06:22,320 brian and 3188 02:06:22,320 --> 02:06:25,840 and uh and marianne and in josue and his 3189 02:06:25,840 --> 02:06:27,840 entire staff 3190 02:06:27,840 --> 02:06:28,960 that 3191 02:06:28,960 --> 02:06:30,480 communicated with us about some of the 3192 02:06:30,480 --> 02:06:32,639 needs that the village has 3193 02:06:32,639 --> 02:06:34,960 and we tried to meet some of those needs 3194 02:06:34,960 --> 02:06:35,760 by 3195 02:06:35,760 --> 02:06:38,079 donating 3196 02:06:38,079 --> 02:06:39,280 a site 3197 02:06:39,280 --> 02:06:45,360 by bringing a park to the community by 3198 02:06:45,360 --> 02:06:47,040 um 3199 02:06:47,040 --> 02:06:50,000 and even most recently 3200 02:06:50,000 --> 02:06:52,400 uh helping solve well from an 3201 02:06:52,400 --> 02:06:53,840 engineering standpoint we haven't done 3202 02:06:53,840 --> 02:06:55,440 it from a construction standpoint but 3203 02:06:55,440 --> 02:06:57,360 we'll help the village solve a 3204 02:06:57,360 --> 02:06:59,119 stormwater issue that exists to the 3205 02:06:59,119 --> 02:07:01,440

that are not 3209 02:07:06,719 --> 02:07:07,760 connected 3210 02:07:07,760 --> 02:07:09,360 to our site 3211 02:07:09,360 --> 02:07:12,159 we we understand that there's perhaps a 3212 02:07:12,159

02:13:20,719 --> 02:13:23,840 both are important and i am considering 3387 02:13:23,840 --> 02:13:26,000 the economic integrity of our village 3388 02:13:26,000 --> 02:13:28,960 today into the and

time on council 3392 02:13:37,520 --> 02:13:39,280 i appreciate that there's some 3393 02:13:39,280 --> 02:13:42,400 allocation for affordable housing town 3394 02:13:42,400 --> 02:13:46,079 homes and duplexes yes and as i've heard 3395 02:13:46,079 --> 02:13:48,719 tonight the pud takes us in this 3396 02:13:48,719 --> 02:13:49,840 direction 3397 02:13:49,840 --> 02:13:51,840 however what we need 3398 02:13:51,840 --> 02:13:54,480 in affordable housing is apartments 3399 02:13:54,480 --> 02:13:57,599 and we can as a community get to those 3400 02:13:57,599 --> 02:13:58,800 goals 3401 02:13:58,800 --> 02:14:02,400 not on this property and the pud is not 3402 02:14:02,400 --> 02:14:05,119 sufficient to really hit those goals 3403 02:14:05,119 --> 02:14:07,920 and we've we've understood why because 3404 02:14:07,920 --> 02:14:10,840 of the cost and that sort of thing 3405 02:14:10,840 --> 02:14:14,079 so while i accept the findings of 3406 02:14:14,079 --> 02:14:15,920 planning commissions 3407 02:14:15,920 --> 02:14:19,119 i i don't agree that this pud fulfills 3408 02:14:19,119 --> 02:14:21,119 three elements of the requirements that 3409 02:14:21,119 --> 02:14:24,159 are important to me or perhaps i just 3410 02:14:24,159 --> 02:14:26,639 don't have sufficient information 3411 02:14:26,639 --> 02:14:28,400 and these are that it should be 3412 02:14:28,400 --> 02:14:31,040 consistent with a village vision 3413 02:14:31,040 --> 02:14:32,800 that it should integrate a complimentary 3414 02:14:32,800 --> 02:14:35,520 list of land types and that natural 3415 02:14:35,520 --> 02:14:38,560 features are preserved so tonight 3416 02:14:38,560 --> 02:14:41,840 i would ask that council table this vote 3417 02:14:41,840 --> 02:14:42,960 table 3418 02:14:42,960 --> 02:14:44,719 this vote 3419 02:14:44,719 --> 02:14:47,360 to explore three conditions 3420 02:14:47,360 --> 02:14:48,639 one 3421 02:14:48,639 --> 02:14:51,520 we do need housing stock yes 3422 02:14:51,520 --> 02:14:54,079 as a condition we should see an updated 3423 02:14:54,079 --> 02:14:55,280 site plan 3424 02:14:55,280 --> 02:14:57,840 that includes options of smaller homes 3425 02:14:57,840 --> 02:15:00,400 in the design mix these smaller houses 3426 02:15:00,400 --> 02:15:01,760 will meet the needs of our housing 3427 02:15:01,760 --> 02:15:05,119 analysis and add more affordable options 3428 02:15:05,119 --> 02:15:07,280 this is all about adding additional 3429 02:15:07,280 --> 02:15:10,079 levels of better priced housing 3430 02:15:10,079 --> 02:15:10,960 two 3431 02:15:10,960 --> 02:15:12,560 go back and look again at the 3432 02:15:12,560 --> 02:15:14,800 environmental analysis it might not be 3433 02:15:14,800 --> 02:15:16,880 what is called a phase two and i 3434 02:15:16,880 --> 02:15:19,119 understand that invoking a phase two 3435 02:15:19,119 --> 02:15:21,520 analysis is like a whole nother level of 3436 02:15:21,520 --> 02:15:22,480 hell 3437 02:15:22,480 --> 02:15:24,960 but there does seem to be additional 3438 02:15:24,960 --> 02:15:27,040 information that may have been 3439 02:15:27,040 --> 02:15:28,719 overlooked 3440 02:15:28,719 --> 02:15:31,599 and then third looking internally 3441 02:15:31,599 --> 02:15:33,199 to the village team 3442 02:15:33,199 --> 02:15:34,960 i want to thank the village team for 3443

02:15:51,440 --> 02:15:54,159 however looking inside to our team 3450 02:15:54,159 --> 02:15:56,639 it never hurts to have more scrutiny and 3451 02:15:56,639 --> 02:15:59,280 a more comprehensive

02:17:28,719 --> 02:17:29,599 this 3495 02:17:29,599 --> 02:17:30,399 um 3496 02:17:30,399 --> 02:17:34,160 mostly i'm focused on the fact that um 3497 02:17:34,160 --> 02:17:35,840 we have two

02:17:53,840 job of explaining not just meeting three 3505 02:17:53,840 --> 02:17:56,319 of the factors but meeting five of those 3506 02:17:56,319 --> 02:17:58,559 factors um 3507 02:17:58,559 --> 02:18:00,800 yes i agree that you know there's not 3508 02:18:00,800 --> 02:18:02,960 really a stream there but there are 3509 02:18:02,960 --> 02:18:05,599 other aspects of the forest and whatnot

3557 02:20:14,560 --> 02:20:16,479 in the community about what's possible 3558 02:20:16,479 --> 02:20:18,640 and what isn't possible on the other 3559 02:20:18,640 --> 02:20:21,600 hand i am very

project that we can actually 3566 02:20:36,479 --> 02:20:38,240 plan together 3567 02:20:38,240 --> 02:20:39,520 that 3568 02:20:39,520 --> 02:20:41,359 either on the glass farm property that 3569 02:20:41,359 --> 02:20:44,560 the village owns or coming together and 3570 02:20:44,560 --> 02:20:47,040 purchasing a property that can meet some 3571 02:20:47,040 --> 02:20:50,080 more of the community needs that we have 3572 02:20:50,080 --> 02:20:52,800 having been in the community for 50 3573 02:20:52,800 --> 02:20:54,399 years 3574 02:20:54,399 --> 02:20:56,560 i've had a chance to 3575 02:20:56,560 --> 02:20:59,359 i know that life doesn't follow in a 3576 02:20:59,359 --> 02:21:01,359 straight line and there are all sorts of 3577 02:21:01,359 --> 02:21:03,120 things that can happen 3578 02:21:03,120 --> 02:21:06,160 and while this isn't necessarily 3579 02:21:06,160 --> 02:21:09,200 what i would design as a a project 3580 02:21:09,200 --> 02:21:12,880 i actually have a fair amount of hope 3581 02:21:12,880 --> 02:21:14,640 and can 3582 02:21:14,640 --> 02:21:21,990 see some positive outcomes 3583 02:21:22,000 --> 02:21:24,790 thank you 3584 02:21:24,800 -->

02:21:34,000 listened um that is the one reason that 3588 02:21:34,000 --> 02:21:38,160 i believe i continue to be on council 3589 02:21:38,160 --> 02:21:40,720 is that i listen to all voices 3590 02:21:40,720 --> 02:21:43,200 i do my best to balance all interest in 3591 02:21:43,200 --> 02:21:44,399 the community 3592 02:21:44,399 --> 02:21:47,040 i think a lot about um 3593 02:21:47,040 --> 02:21:49,600 what is factual 3594 02:21:49,600 --> 02:21:51,280 what is opinion 3595 02:21:51,280 --> 02:21:55,280 um uh what motivations are and then try 3596 02:21:55,280 --> 02:21:56,640 to come up with the best decision 3597 02:21:56,640 --> 02:21:57,840 possible 3598 02:21:57,840 --> 02:22:00,640 i understand um that 3599 02:22:00,640 --> 02:22:03,280 you know like many have said that if i 3600 02:22:03,280 --> 02:22:06,000 own the property and and i had the 3601 02:22:06,000 --> 02:22:08,560 ability to design it that um i would do 3602 02:22:08,560 --> 02:22:10,720 differently like many would 3603 02:22:10,720 --> 02:22:13,439 um but i also understand that under our 3604 02:22:13,439 --> 02:22:16,399 existing zoning um 3605 02:22:16,399 --> 02:22:19,520 we have to make decisions in that regard 3606 02:22:19,520 --> 02:22:20,840 and 3607 02:22:20,840 --> 02:22:23,439 um i guess the last thing i want to say 3608 02:22:23,439 --> 02:22:26,479 with my vote is that i am committed to 3609 02:22:26,479 --> 02:22:29,520 um doing a deep dive on our zoning and 3610 02:22:29,520 --> 02:22:32,080 also looking at the opportunities for 3611 02:22:32,080 --> 02:22:34,160 affordable rentals and everything else 3612 02:22:34,160 --> 02:22:37,280 with some of the property that um 3613 02:22:37,280 --> 02:22:38,640 there's actually a piece of property 3614 02:22:38,640 --> 02:22:40,720 that's coming back to the village that 3615 02:22:40,720 --> 02:22:42,479 is going to be ideal 3616 02:22:42,479 --> 02:22:44,319 and so there are a lot of different just 3617 02:22:44,319 --> 02:22:46,000 different things that i'm thinking about 3618 02:22:46,000 --> 02:22:47,680 and this discussion has really brought 3619 02:22:47,680 --> 02:22:49,520 all that together 3620 02:22:49,520 --> 02:22:50,960 and i hope that 3621 02:22:50,960 --> 02:22:52,000 um 3622 02:22:52,000 --> 02:22:54,479 it doesn't have to remain divisive um 3623 02:22:54,479 --> 02:22:55,840 we've dealt with a lot of things in the 3624 02:22:55,840 --> 02:22:58,880 past that uh with levy and everything 3625 02:22:58,880 --> 02:23:01,439 that um i hope we can get beyond and 3626

3849 02:31:38,640 --> 02:31:42,080 september 8th to 2020 when we were 3850 02:31:42,080 --> 02:31:44,399 pulling out of uh renergie and we did 3851 02:31:44,399 --> 02:31:46,080 not know what we were going to do with 3852 02:31:46,080 --> 02:31:48,560 all of our biosolids i'm sure there's 3853 02:31:48,560 --> 02:31:50,479 other ways to describe the biosolids but 3854 02:31:50,479 --> 02:31:53,600 we found ourselves in a bit of a pile so 3855 02:31:53,600 --> 02:31:55,760 we went on an exploratory process at the 3856 02:31:55,760 --> 02:31:57,680 time we thought it was going to be more 3857 02:31:57,680 --> 02:32:00,080 costly to move away from energy and just 3858 02:32:00,080 --> 02:32:02,479 background renergie is that company just 3859 02:32:02,479 --> 02:32:04,960 outside of town that took or biosolids 3860 02:32:04,960 --> 02:32:07,520 as a liquid and they did some fancy 3861 02:32:07,520 --> 02:32:09,520 stuff with it to turn it into energy and 3862 02:32:09,520 --> 02:32:10,880 in that process 3863 02:32:10,880 --> 02:32:12,800 they've upset a lot of a lot of 3864 02:32:12,800 --> 02:32:13,920 neighbors 3865 02:32:13,920 --> 02:32:15,840 uh anyway so we pulled out of energy 3866 02:32:15,840 --> 02:32:18,319 we're unsure what what all the financial 3867 02:32:18,319 --> 02:32:19,840 impact would be 3868 02:32:19,840 --> 02:32:22,640 so we proposed two options an on-site 3869 02:32:22,640 --> 02:32:25,760 sled on-site sludge press and removal 3870 02:32:25,760 --> 02:32:28,319 and then we would deliver it to 3871 02:32:28,319 --> 02:32:29,840 landfills 3872 02:32:29,840 --> 02:32:31,520 brown county landfill was one of them we 3873 02:32:31,520 --> 02:32:33,200 were already we already had an energy 3874 02:32:33,200 --> 02:32:35,359 contract with them or we could apply it 3875 02:32:35,359 --> 02:32:37,600 locally we had permits that we could 3876 02:32:37,600 --> 02:32:41,120 apply the biosolids on farmlands um we 3877 02:32:41,120 --> 02:32:42,720 thought that that might be hit or miss 3878 02:32:42,720 --> 02:32:45,200 with the popularity with our neighbors 3879 02:32:45,200 --> 02:32:47,359 but that was an option the other piece 3880 02:32:47,359 --> 02:32:50,080 was outsourcing biosolids removal at the 3881 02:32:50,080 --> 02:32:53,040 time we had a mobile press 3882 02:32:53,040 --> 02:32:55,200 lined up to haul any additional 3883 02:32:55,200 --> 02:32:57,600 biosolids we tried that out for some 3884 02:32:57,600 --> 02:33:00,160 time it was very expensive 3885 02:33:00,160 --> 02:33:02,800 whether they're landfill options 3886 02:33:02,800 --> 02:33:04,240 i think carbon's really excited about 3887 02:33:04,240 --> 02:33:05,120 this 3888 02:33:05,120 --> 02:33:07,760 biogas generation of brown at brown 3889 02:33:07,760 --> 02:33:09,200 county landfill 3890 02:33:09,200 --> 02:33:10,880 so we center by outside of there they 3891 02:33:10,880 --> 02:33:13,120 have a landfill which collects the 3892 02:33:13,120 --> 02:33:16,960 landfill gas that goes into wells then 3893 02:33:16,960 --> 02:33:18,960 gas extraction which gets burned off 3894 02:33:18,960 --> 02:33:21,280 using gas engines and it generates 3895 02:33:21,280 --> 02:33:23,680 electricity and it comes back to us so 3896 02:33:23,680 --> 02:33:25,439 that's one of the landfill options we're 3897 02:33:25,439 --> 02:33:26,720 looking at 3898 02:33:26,720 --> 02:33:29,840 and we've continued using that model so 3899 02:33:29,840 --> 02:33:32,399 this is a map of the lan application 3900 02:33:32,399 --> 02:33:34,080 approved sites that we had those are 3901 02:33:34,080 --> 02:33:36,720 everything on blue that we could apply 3902 02:33:36,720 --> 02:33:39,040 or buy at solids on we did again we 3903 02:33:39,040 --> 02:33:41,120 didn't go that route 3904 02:33:41,120 --> 02:33:44,319 we went with the onsite sludge press 3905 02:33:44,319 --> 02:33:46,640 this is what tomato plants that grow 3906 02:33:46,640 --> 02:33:48,960 under biosolids look like 3907 02:33:48,960 --> 02:33:51,760 this is a brad he he i was impressed 3908 02:33:51,760 --> 02:33:53,359 with his uh 3909 02:33:53,359 --> 02:33:55,439 skills of playing in this stuff and 3910 02:33:55,439 --> 02:33:57,600 looking at the tomato plants but you 3911 02:33:57,600 --> 02:33:59,600 know biosolids are that good that they 3912 02:33:59,600 --> 02:34:02,080 they were growing tomato plants so after 3913 02:34:02,080 --> 02:34:03,359 all of this 3914 02:34:03,359 --> 02:34:05,280 we pursued this avenue we thought it was 3915 02:34:05,280 --> 02:34:07,280 going to be more expensive we're 3916 02:34:07,280 --> 02:34:09,040 pleasantly surprised that through this 3917 02:34:09,040 --> 02:34:10,880 extensive process 3918 02:34:10,880 --> 02:34:12,319 the 3919 02:34:12,319 --> 02:34:14,880 on-site sludge press 3920 02:34:14,880 --> 02:34:16,800 and pressing on site and delivering to 3921 02:34:16,800 --> 02:34:19,520 brown county landfill has resulted in 3922 02:34:19,520 --> 02:34:21,359 solving a problem that we have while 3923 02:34:21,359 --> 02:34:22,319 also 3924 02:34:22,319 --> 02:34:25,840 saving us money how much you may ask 3925 02:34:25,840 --> 02:34:29,439 looking at the total expense for 2021 of 3926 02:34:29,439 --> 02:34:32,479 uh renting the machine where 82 000 um 3927 02:34:32,479 --> 02:34:34,960 hauling to energy would have cost us uh 3928 02:34:34,960 --> 02:34:37,359 80 000. so that price point is just a 3929 02:34:37,359 --> 02:34:40,000 little bit higher but we're looking at 3930 02:34:40,000 --> 02:34:43,280 the in the 82 000 it includes the rental 3931 02:34:43,280 --> 02:34:45,840 of the of the machine if we buy the 3932 02:34:45,840 --> 02:34:47,439 machine which is what you're voting on 3933 02:34:47,439 --> 02:34:50,200 now we would buy the machine 3934 02:34:50,200 --> 02:34:52,240 156 000 3935 02:34:52,240 --> 02:34:54,880 we won't have that rental expense that's 3936 02:34:54,880 --> 02:34:57,439 going to save us 21 3937 02:34:57,439 --> 02:34:59,760 hundred and seven dollars on an annual 3938 02:34:59,760 --> 02:35:02,319 basis because we won't have a rental 3939 02:35:02,319 --> 02:35:04,880 expense uh we will own the machine so 3940 02:35:04,880 --> 02:35:07,200 this machine would have a return on 3941 02:35:07,200 --> 02:35:09,200 investment or we'll break even or make 3942 02:35:09,200 --> 02:35:11,359 our money back in seven to eight years 3943 02:35:11,359 --> 02:35:12,880 in savings 3944 02:35:12,880 --> 02:35:15,920 so this this uh resolution before you 3945 02:35:15,920 --> 02:35:17,280 does two things 3946 02:35:17,280 --> 02:35:19,840 it it helps ensure the continuation of 3947 02:35:19,840 --> 02:35:22,479 dealing with biosolids in a responsible 3948 02:35:22,479 --> 02:35:26,560 and economic way and it also uh has a a 3949 02:35:26,560 --> 02:35:28,479 return investment where the money that 3950 02:35:28,479 --> 02:35:30,479 you put into allowing us to buy this 3951 02:35:30,479 --> 02:35:32,960 press machine will make back in seven to 3952 02:35:32,960 --> 02:35:35,280 eight years in the machine with good 3953 02:35:35,280 --> 02:35:37,439 care it can live for another 20 years 3954 02:35:37,439 --> 02:35:39,760 johnny is online he can talk a bit more 3955 02:35:39,760 --> 02:35:42,000 detail on how the

02:38:57,040 dated 2021 4039 02:38:57,040 --> 02:39:00,399 and the payment dates were reflecting uh 4040 02:39:00,399 --> 02:39:03,840 2022 payment dates uh previously we've 4041 02:39:03,840 --> 02:39:06,720 we've been paying these uh invoices and 4042 02:39:06,720 --> 02:39:08,560 not budgeting enough to to complete 4043 02:39:08,560 --> 02:39:11,600 those payments uh by year end 4044 02:39:11,600 --> 02:39:15,040 so uh one thing to clean up is we're 4045 02:39:15,040 --> 02:39:17,359 going to go ahead and add this 4046 02:39:17,359 --> 02:39:19,920 what is essentially a third

doesn't relate to an additional payment 4050 02:39:28,560 --> 02:39:29,520 owed 4051 02:39:29,520 --> 02:39:31,680 um but more of an accounting treatment 4052 02:39:31,680 --> 02:39:33,359 on how to catch up to those payments to 4053 02:39:33,359 --> 02:39:34,560 reflect those 4054 02:39:34,560 --> 02:39:37,439 in the year that the invoice is dated 4055 02:39:37,439 --> 02:39:38,960 and not so much the year when the 4056 02:39:38,960 --> 02:39:40,720 payment is due 4057 02:39:40,720 --> 02:39:43,280 so that speaks to the the ohio water 4058 02:39:43,280 --> 02:39:46,640 development association payments and the 4059 02:39:46,640 --> 02:39:49,520 as far as the irs 4060 02:39:49,520 --> 02:39:51,359 request is concerned 4061 02:39:51,359 --> 02:39:53,120 we have received some

02:41:30,479 interest has been 4110 02:41:30,479 --> 02:41:32,160 uh 4111 02:41:32,160 --> 02:41:34,160 interest and penalties has been 4112 02:41:34,160 --> 02:41:36,240 um put on to this 4113

don't know 4116 02:41:43,520 --> 02:41:45,920 why these errors occurred 4117 02:41:45,920 --> 02:41:47,920 and so it sounds like we don't know that 4118 02:41:47,920 --> 02:41:50,319 yet but we will we're following up and 4119 02:41:50,319 --> 02:41:52,399 then we may be able to appeal it or 4120 02:41:52,399 --> 02:41:53,760 something is that right 4121 02:41:53,760 --> 02:41:55,279 i hope to be able to articulate the 4122 02:41:55,279 --> 02:41:56,720 findings a little bit more than i have 4123 02:41:56,720 --> 02:41:58,640 at this very very moment 4124 02:41:58,640 --> 02:42:00,560 what i only have is the correspondence 4125 02:42:00,560 --> 02:42:02,479 received that i've 4126 02:42:02,479 --> 02:42:04,800 provided to council 4127 02:42:04,800 --> 02:42:06,000 and 4128 02:42:06,000

4131 02:42:13,600 --> 02:42:14,880 a more 4132 02:42:14,880 --> 02:42:17,279 um involved conversation with with the 4133 02:42:17,279 --> 02:42:20,560 irs on that uh and again i think the 4134 02:42:20,560 --> 02:42:22,640 amounts you'll see are rather minor is 4135 02:42:22,640 --> 02:42:24,240 just about understanding the payment 4136 02:42:24,240 --> 02:42:26,560 before we issue it 4137 02:42:26,560 --> 02:42:29,120 okay lisa 4138 02:42:29,120 --> 02:42:31,439 i feel like i should know this but who 4139 02:42:31,439 --> 02:42:34,880 does our tax preparation 4140 02:42:34,880 --> 02:42:36,399 we do 4141 02:42:36,399 --> 02:42:39,760 well the the irs um we work with rita 4142 02:42:39,760 --> 02:42:41,840 obviously rita's the uh the income tax 4143 02:42:41,840 --> 02:42:43,520 collector on our behalf 4144 02:42:43,520 --> 02:42:45,600 um but but certain payments from the 4145 02:42:45,600 --> 02:42:46,800 village 4146 02:42:46,800 --> 02:42:48,800 to the irs that 4147 02:42:48,800 --> 02:42:51,040 were issued internally so that that 4148 02:42:51,040 --> 02:42:52,720 would be that's the finance so the 4149 02:42:52,720 --> 02:42:55,120 actual analysis and tax forms and 4150 02:42:55,120 --> 02:42:56,479 figuring out how much we'd have to pay 4151 02:42:56,479 --> 02:42:58,640 and everything has been done internally 4152 02:42:58,640 --> 02:43:02,309 by the finance director 4153 02:43:02,319 --> 02:43:04,720 not by like a tax accountant or 4154 02:43:04,720 --> 02:43:06,399 something 4155 02:43:06,399 --> 02:43:08,319 i'm sorry could you repeat that that 4156 02:43:08,319 --> 02:43:10,240 seemed like a loaded question for me 4157 02:43:10,240 --> 02:43:12,319 just to agree well i just i just don't 4158 02:43:12,319 --> 02:43:13,520 know who 4159 02:43:13,520 --> 02:43:16,720 like i have a tax accountant right 4160 02:43:16,720 --> 02:43:18,720 but maybe it was the finance director 4161 02:43:18,720 --> 02:43:20,319 who does that because it's within the 4162 02:43:20,319 --> 02:43:24,870 scope of what a finance director does 4163 02:43:24,880 --> 02:43:27,279 um somewhat lisa i mean honestly like we 4164 02:43:27,279 --> 02:43:29,200 we have a shared relationship with rita 4165 02:43:29,200 --> 02:43:32,240 regarding our tax filings um the the 4166 02:43:32,240 --> 02:43:34,399 amount of to the village i would i would 4167 02:43:34,399 --> 02:43:36,640 validate as my role as the finance 4168 02:43:36,640 --> 02:43:38,080 director 4169 02:43:38,080 --> 02:43:39,120 okay 4170 02:43:39,120 --> 02:43:40,880 thanks i just didn't know 4171 02:43:40,880 --> 02:43:43,760 and i may add some more to that lisa we 4172 02:43:43,760 --> 02:43:46,640 we file our 941s which are the federal 4173 02:43:46,640 --> 02:43:49,520 federal employee tax reports we don't 4174 02:43:49,520 --> 02:43:52,240 file a tax return like a corporation or 4175 02:43:52,240 --> 02:43:54,479 an individual 4176 02:43:54,479 --> 02:43:56,560 at that level of tax preparation what we 4177 02:43:56,560 --> 02:43:59,520 do file are annual reports to the state 4178 02:43:59,520 --> 02:44:01,600 through the hinkle system and so that's 4179 02:44:01,600 --> 02:44:04,080 the equivalent of our tax return if you 4180 02:44:04,080 --> 02:44:06,479 will for the municipal corporation what 4181 02:44:06,479 --> 02:44:08,399 we file for the federal government are 4182 02:44:08,399 --> 02:44:11,520 these 941 reports which are primarily 4183 02:44:11,520 --> 02:44:13,840 employee wages 4184 02:44:13,840 --> 02:44:16,000 and we we do that ourselves because we 4185 02:44:16,000 --> 02:44:18,800 do our own payroll processing 4186 02:44:18,800 --> 02:44:20,319 uh one of the things that we've changed 4187 02:44:20,319 --> 02:44:22,560 since matt's matt's been on board is 4188 02:44:22,560 --> 02:44:25,040 moving to a more automated process with 4189 02:44:25,040 --> 02:44:26,240 regards to 4190 02:44:26,240 --> 02:44:29,279 wage payments and uh in reports 4191 02:44:29,279 --> 02:44:31,840 so we automate a lot of that versus a 4192 02:44:31,840 --> 02:44:33,920 more traditional manual process that 4193 02:44:33,920 --> 02:44:35,680 existed 4194 02:44:35,680 --> 02:44:37,760 in previous administration so i hope 4195 02:44:37,760 --> 02:44:38,960 that that 4196 02:44:38,960 --> 02:44:40,960 alleviates some of the some of the 4197 02:44:40,960 --> 02:44:43,920 issues with reconciling the reports and 4198 02:44:43,920 --> 02:44:46,720 to matt's point this report is 4199 02:44:46,720 --> 02:44:48,960 looking at a discrepancy in filings 4200 02:44:48,960 --> 02:44:51,760 before 2020. it could be a human error 4201 02:44:51,760 --> 02:44:53,600 it could be a calculation you know it 4202 02:44:53,600 --> 02:44:56,080 could be a number of things um matt's 4203 02:44:56,080 --> 02:44:58,840 taking the proactive approach given the 4204 02:44:58,840 --> 02:45:02,800 the delays and response from the from 4205 02:45:02,800 --> 02:45:04,960 the irs letter after letter while still 4206 02:45:04,960 --> 02:45:06,960 incurring the penalty and interest given 4207 02:45:06,960 --> 02:45:08,640 the amount four thousand dollars we have 4208 02:45:08,640 --> 02:45:10,560 no reason to vote to think that they're 4209 02:45:10,560 --> 02:45:12,880 wrong unless we know what 4210 02:45:12,880 --> 02:45:14,640 what they say we're wrong so we're just 4211 02:45:14,640 --> 02:45:16,319 moving forward and paying for it and 4212 02:45:16,319 --> 02:45:18,319 then we'll figure out if a credit is due 4213 02:45:18,319 --> 02:45:21,600 to us or an employee down the road 4214 02:45:21,600 --> 02:45:23,680 yeah i would agree with what what josue 4215 02:45:23,680 --> 02:45:25,040 said thank you very much

right skill set who's a very 4443 02:54:21,279 --> 02:54:24,000 well-trained mediator that's following 4444 02:54:24,000 --> 02:54:26,160 the dayton model which was very 4445 02:54:26,160 --> 02:54:27,439 successful 4446 02:54:27,439 --> 02:54:30,240 where the crb 4447 02:54:30,240 --> 02:54:33,359 was coordinated by mediators 4448 02:54:33,359 --> 02:54:35,520 what's left clear to me 4449 02:54:35,520 --> 02:54:37,600 is how 4450 02:54:37,600 --> 02:54:39,200 and we don't have to decide this tonight 4451 02:54:39,200 --> 02:54:40,560 for heaven's sake 4452 02:54:40,560 --> 02:54:42,880 but i keep thinking about how is the 4453 02:54:42,880 --> 02:54:46,160 effort to stand up the crb 4454 02:54:46,160 --> 02:54:48,479 going to sit 4455 02:54:48,479 --> 02:54:49,600 um 4456 02:54:49,600 --> 02:54:53,120 in the in the uh 4457 02:54:53,120 --> 02:54:55,920 with the other commission that carmen 4458 02:54:55,920 --> 02:54:56,960 and 4459 02:54:56,960 --> 02:54:58,560 kevin are working on 4460 02:54:58,560 --> 02:55:00,560 and i just i just don't know because i 4461 02:55:00,560 --> 02:55:03,920 feel like it sets us up for sunshine 4462 02:55:03,920 --> 02:55:06,240 law complications 4463 02:55:06,240 --> 02:55:08,640 if we have this body of people who are 4464 02:55:08,640 --> 02:55:10,560 very very interested 4465 02:55:10,560 --> 02:55:13,040 in these justice system issues that have 4466 02:55:13,040 --> 02:55:15,359 two council persons and then if i i 4467 02:55:15,359 --> 02:55:17,680 don't want to be just like 4468 02:55:17,680 --> 02:55:19,840 floating out there on the side 4469 02:55:19,840 --> 02:55:22,720 and not really able to join the groups i 4470 02:55:22,720 --> 02:55:24,800 just i don't have an answer but i have 4471 02:55:24,800 --> 02:55:26,960 been fretting about it 4472 02:55:26,960 --> 02:55:28,800 structural perspective 4473 02:55:28,800 --> 02:55:31,120 yeah i mean i will say you know 4474 02:55:31,120 --> 02:55:34,000 when a it's a publicly announced meeting 4475 02:55:34,000 --> 02:55:37,920 um that you know means that uh 4476 02:55:37,920 --> 02:55:39,680 council members 4477 02:55:39,680 --> 02:55:41,920 can participate so 4478 02:55:41,920 --> 02:55:43,279 um 4479 02:55:43,279 --> 02:55:45,040 yeah and i think that that doesn't 4480 02:55:45,040 --> 02:55:46,319 remind me i think the other reason we 4481 02:55:46,319 --> 02:55:49,840 had this on on here was to talk about um 4482 02:55:49,840 --> 02:55:51,439 the mash-up 4483 02:55:51,439 --> 02:55:54,240 between um the justice system commission 4484 02:55:54,240 --> 02:55:56,640 and um hrc 4485 02:55:56,640 --> 02:55:59,680 uh but i would propose that um i think 4486 02:55:59,680 --> 02:56:01,439 we're all getting to the point where 4487 02:56:01,439 --> 02:56:03,680 we've probably had um quite a bit of 4488 02:56:03,680 --> 02:56:05,680 council meeting so uh 4489 02:56:05,680 --> 02:56:07,840 why don't we why don't we more formally 4490 02:56:07,840 --> 02:56:10,319 place this on the agenda for next time 4491 02:56:10,319 --> 02:56:12,800 right right and brian let me say that 4492 02:56:12,800 --> 02:56:16,240 yeah uh carmen uh and judy and i 4493 02:56:16,240 --> 02:56:18,399 had some conversations about it we 4494 02:56:18,399 --> 02:56:20,800 post some initial changes so it's you 4495 02:56:20,800 --> 02:56:23,279 know it is a a 4496 02:56:23,279 --> 02:56:25,840 live moving process and with respect to 4497 02:56:25,840 --> 02:56:28,560 the crb um i do 4498 02:56:28,560 --> 02:56:29,920 suppose there would probably be a 4499 02:56:29,920 --> 02:56:32,720 relationship but i don't know that the 4500 02:56:32,720 --> 02:56:35,040 social justice commission would do much 4501 02:56:35,040 --> 02:56:36,000 more than 4502 02:56:36,000 --> 02:56:39,439 referring perhaps to the 4503 02:56:39,439 --> 02:56:40,560 crb 4504 02:56:40,560 --> 02:56:42,399 not i don't i don't 4505 02:56:42,399 --> 02:56:44,319 i don't see yet and i could be convinced 4506 02:56:44,319 --> 02:56:47,120 either way but there being a hardline 4507 02:56:47,120 --> 02:56:50,240 relationship between between the two so 4508 02:56:50,240 --> 02:56:52,160 um i think that 4509 02:56:52,160 --> 02:56:55,200 leads to with that uh situation allay 4510 02:56:55,200 --> 02:56:57,279 some of your concerns 4511 02:56:57,279 --> 02:56:59,279 yeah i just don't want to get into a 4512 02:56:59,279 --> 02:57:01,120 situation where it's just too difficult 4513 02:57:01,120 --> 02:57:03,120 to make decisions together 4514 02:57:03,120 --> 02:57:05,439 if you know if we're if we're in liaison 4515 02:57:05,439 --> 02:57:07,600 with vmp which 4516 02:57:07,600 --> 02:57:10,160 marianne and i and we'll work it out 4517 02:57:10,160 --> 02:57:14,479 yeah in this i think this certainly um 4518 02:57:14,479 --> 02:57:16,319 i'm just going to say this you know we 4519 02:57:16,319 --> 02:57:20,240 saw a a massive display of a lot of 4520 02:57:20,240 --> 02:57:22,399 citizen engagement 4521 02:57:22,399 --> 02:57:24,319 um you know i'll just say to those that 4522 02:57:24,319 --> 02:57:26,640 are still listening um here's a place 4523 02:57:26,640 --> 02:57:29,840 where you can step up um and and uh 4524 02:57:29,840 --> 02:57:32,160 create uh some more bandwidth and some 4525 02:57:32,160 --> 02:57:35,439 more capacity for village council 4526 02:57:35,439 --> 02:57:36,880 we need folks to serve on these 4527 02:57:36,880 --> 02:57:39,200 commissions that are that are forming or 4528 02:57:39,200 --> 02:57:42,160 morphing um you know so i think for the 4529 02:57:42,160 --> 02:57:43,840 next couple of council meetings we have 4530 02:57:43,840 --> 02:57:45,760 to perhaps consider making that clarion 4531 02:57:45,760 --> 02:57:46,560 call 4532 02:57:46,560 --> 02:57:48,640 and again encourage folks who have 4533 02:57:48,640 --> 02:57:49,920 apparently a great deal of energy and 4534 02:57:49,920 --> 02:57:51,920 i'm not being disrespectful i'm just 4535 02:57:51,920 --> 02:57:52,880 saying 4536 02:57:52,880 --> 02:57:55,600 um here's a good place to use some of 4537 02:57:55,600 --> 02:57:57,520 that energy 4538 02:57:57,520 --> 02:57:59,120 okay sounds good 4539 02:57:59,120 --> 02:58:01,840 um all right so we have no new business 4540 02:58:01,840 --> 02:58:02,840 and 4541 02:58:02,840 -->

02:59:57,840 been holding off on 4592 02:59:57,840 --> 02:59:59,840 taking a machete to that ordinance and 4593 02:59:59,840 --> 03:00:02,240 quacking stuff in and pulling stuff out 4594 03:00:02,240

21st of march 4601 03:00:16,960 --> 03:00:19,040 i believe so haven't looked that far 4602 03:00:19,040 --> 03:00:20,080 ahead 4603 03:00:20,080 --> 03:00:21,439 that sounds right 4604 03:00:21,439 --> 03:00:23,680 okay anything else yeah really quickly 4605 03:00:23,680 --> 03:00:25,359 i'm interested in 4606 03:00:25,359 --> 03:00:28,720 the crb proposal being put forward with 4607 03:00:28,720 --> 03:00:30,479 the two pillars 4608 03:00:30,479 --> 03:00:31,680 um 4609 03:00:31,680 --> 03:00:35,810 intact 4610 03:00:35,820 --> 03:00:38,000 [Music] 4611 03:00:38,000 --> 03:00:40,950 okay 4612 03:00:40,960 --> 03:00:44,160 so the two pillars have to do with the 4613 03:00:44,160 --> 03:00:45,200 um 4614 03:00:45,200 --> 03:00:48,000 protection of confidentiality and so 4615 03:00:48,000 --> 03:00:50,319 that relates to my comments 4616 03:00:50,319 --> 03:00:53,040 before about possibly being able to use 4617 03:00:53,040 --> 03:00:55,359 a trained mediator to do confidential 4618 03:00:55,359 --> 03:00:56,640 intake 4619 03:00:56,640 --> 03:01:00,080 um and then the other one has to do 4620 03:01:00,080 --> 03:01:03,520 um with the scope of power of the crb to 4621 03:01:03,520 --> 03:01:06,479 make recommendations about 4622 03:01:06,479 --> 03:01:07,760 um 4623 03:01:07,760 --> 03:01:09,359 you know what should happen with 4624 03:01:09,359 --> 03:01:11,760 officers around who there's been a 4625 03:01:11,760 --> 03:01:12,880 complaint 4626 03:01:12,880 --> 03:01:15,520 and that echoes back to my comments i 4627 03:01:15,520 --> 03:01:17,760 think at the last council meeting where 4628 03:01:17,760 --> 03:01:20,560 i said we still really have to have a 4629 03:01:20,560 --> 03:01:23,520 genuine legal review of the proposal 4630 03:01:23,520 --> 03:01:27,279 for the ohio legality that we didn't get 4631 03:01:27,279 --> 03:01:30,240 from our previous attorney guy whose 4632 03:01:30,240 --> 03:01:31,920 name i don't remember right now and i 4633 03:01:31,920 --> 03:01:34,720 apologize for that we still need to get 4634 03:01:34,720 --> 03:01:37,920 that insight and until we get that we 4635 03:01:37,920 --> 03:01:41,200 are kind of uh 4636 03:01:41,200 --> 03:01:43,840 i'm struggling with the with the scope 4637 03:01:43,840 --> 03:01:46,840 of the second pillar 4638 03:01:46,840 --> 03:01:48,560 right 4639 03:01:48,560 --> 03:01:50,880 regarding mediation 4640 03:01:50,880 --> 03:01:58,469 has anyone reached out to jane rothman 4641 03:01:58,479 --> 03:02:00,319 he's part of that group 4642 03:02:00,319 --> 03:02:01,279 so 4643 03:02:01,279 --> 03:02:04,479 and you may recall that at one point 4644 03:02:04,479 --> 03:02:06,160 way back in the 4645 03:02:06,160 --> 03:02:07,600 stone ages 4646 03:02:07,600 --> 03:02:09,680 there were some members of the mediation 4647 03:02:09,680 --> 03:02:12,080 team who were very interested in 4648 03:02:12,080 --> 03:02:14,640 becoming the 4649 03:02:14,640 --> 03:02:17,439 beginning seeds of the crb and that was 4650 03:02:17,439 --> 03:02:19,439 good because they have the right kind of 4651 03:02:19,439 --> 03:02:20,560 training 4652 03:02:20,560 --> 03:02:23,359 and background so 4653 03:02:23,359 --> 03:02:24,479 um 4654 03:02:24,479 --> 03:02:27,680 i mean i i while i'm sorry that we've 4655 03:02:27,680 --> 03:02:29,760 had turnover 4656 03:02:29,760 --> 03:02:33,910 in that role i think that 4657 03:02:33,920 --> 03:02:36,560 it may create a real opportunity to find 4658 03:02:36,560 --> 03:02:38,240 the right person 4659 03:02:38,240 --> 03:02:39,439 who could 4660 03:02:39,439 --> 03:02:42,160 be at least the first 4661 03:02:42,160 --> 03:02:43,439 coordinator 4662 03:02:43,439 --> 03:02:45,439 that could do both things 4663 03:02:45,439 --> 03:02:49,359 yeah can i i'll jump in for a minute i 4664 03:02:49,359 --> 03:02:52,560 uh as lisa said given that um 4665 03:02:52,560 --> 03:02:54,000 luciana 4666 03:02:54,000 --> 03:02:57,680 has very fortunately for her been 4667 03:02:57,680 --> 03:02:59,120 named to a 4668 03:02:59,120 --> 03:03:02,720 rapid response team uh mediation for the 4669 03:03:02,720 --> 03:03:05,600 date for dayton it just seemed like 4670 03:03:05,600 --> 03:03:08,160 we have two needs that are basically a 4671 03:03:08,160 --> 03:03:10,800 similar need and 4672 03:03:10,800 --> 03:03:13,680 it isn't neither of the need presumably 4673 03:03:13,680 --> 03:03:17,439 will take up a lot of time per month so 4674 03:03:17,439 --> 03:03:19,760 it seemed like at least we might talk 4675 03:03:19,760 --> 03:03:23,279 about is there a way to consolidate 4676 03:03:23,279 --> 03:03:24,880 that one person 4677 03:03:24,880 --> 03:03:27,279 however the two groups 4678 03:03:27,279 --> 03:03:29,200 move forward 4679 03:03:29,200 --> 03:03:31,279 and maybe there would end up being two 4680 03:03:31,279 --> 03:03:33,840 people but it would be a way to get to 4681 03:03:33,840 --> 03:03:35,600 jumpstart the 4682 03:03:35,600 --> 03:03:36,880 crb 4683 03:03:36,880 --> 03:03:39,359 and also continue the mediation program 4684 03:03:39,359 --> 03:03:41,120 because 4685 03:03:41,120 --> 03:03:44,479 probably the mediation gets a few calls 4686 03:03:44,479 --> 03:03:47,200 every month you know it varies but 4687 03:03:47,200 --> 03:03:49,840 um so we're not looking at a 4688 03:03:49,840 --> 03:03:51,200 a huge 4689 03:03:51,200 --> 03:03:53,840 time commitment for any one person and 4690 03:03:53,840 --> 03:03:55,680 if we put them together 4691 03:03:55,680 --> 03:03:57,920 we could probably save some money and 4692 03:03:57,920 --> 03:03:59,760 give one person a little more 4693 03:03:59,760 --> 03:04:01,040 opportunity 4694 03:04:01,040 --> 03:04:04,150 so it sounds like we're 4695 03:04:04,160 --> 03:04:07,200 we're now like talking about uh you know 4696 03:04:07,200 --> 03:04:09,520 the issue rather than just a 4697 03:04:09,520 --> 03:04:11,439 future agenda item so 4698 03:04:11,439 --> 03:04:13,359 let's put it on the agenda 4699 03:04:13,359 --> 03:04:15,680 um do we have any other future agenda 4700 03:04:15,680 --> 03:04:18,150 items 4701 03:04:18,160 --> 03:04:20,880 that's right then i put alex scott on so 4702 03:04:20,880 --> 03:04:22,720 she is on for the section 8. 4703 03:04:22,720 --> 03:04:25,040 thank
