UM, THAT BRINGS UP TO 200 FULL SCREEN.
FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME, WE JUST 289 PEOPLE RIGHT NOW, THE MAN HE'S HERE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR RECRUITMENT PRACTICES.
THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO BE HERE.
UH, I LOST COUNT OF HOW MANY OFFICERS DID KNEW OR THEY STOLE SOMEBODY SUGGESTED LAST WEEK.
IT WOULD PUT A SIGN ON THE DOOR, SAY NEWBRIDGE TRAINING ACADEMY, UH, BARBARA MESSENGER, A CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION, AND SHE'S WORKING WITH US.
UH, PART-TIME NOT AS, AS A RESERVE, BUT IT'S PART-TIME.
AND, UH, IN THE PAST SEVEN MONTHS SHE'S DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB.
SHE STOOD HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE THE MEN DURING THE THREE BIRTHDAYS WE RECENTLY HAD.
SO SHE'LL MAKE YOU A FINE OFFICER.
IT SAYS OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE OF DUTY AS AN OFFICER OF THE RIVERBED POLICE DEPARTMENT FROM 11 MARCH, 1999 THROUGH OCTOBER 19.
AND THEN DURING THIS PERIOD, WE WERE UNFORTUNATE TO EXPERIENCE THREE MAJOR HURRICANES AND STOOD ABOVE AND YOU STOOD ABOVE MOST OTHERS WENT DOOR TO DOOR LEARNING THE CITIZENS OF RISING WATER.
YOU'VE BEEN A SECURITY OFFICER FOR THIS DEPARTMENT.
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR NEW POSITION WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
THEY HAVE A TEAM PLAYER WITH YOU.
THEY FLOW A 5.52 MILLION GALLONS A DAY.
THE PEAK FLOW OCCURRED ON SEPTEMBER 17TH, THE DAY OF FLOYD AT 10.64 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY.
WE RECORDED AT THE PLANT, UH, DURING FLOYD 17.9 INCHES OF RAIN AND A TOTAL OF 24.9 INCHES OF RAIN FOR THE MONTH.
THE BIOLOGICAL OXYGEN DEMAND REMOVAL EFFICIENCY, UH, FOR THE PLANT WAS 94.2%.
AND THE SUSPENDED SOLIDS REMOVAL FOR THE PLANT WAS 88.7% FOR THE MONTH, WHICH IS EXTRAORDINARY CONSIDERING THAT THE WASTEWATER WAS TREMENDOUSLY DILUTED, BUT THE PLANT PERFORMED FINE.
UH, THE THIRD QUARTER PHOSPHORUS AVERAGE FOR THE EFFLUENT IS 1.7 MILLIGRAMS PER LITER.
UH, EVERYTHING IN THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLAN
[00:10:01]
IS IN COMPLIANCE FOR THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER, EXCLUDING THE, UH, FLOW, UH, 5.52 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY IS IN EXCESS OF OUR 4.7 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY.UH, WE ALSO EXPERIENCED TWO SEWER OVERFLOWS AS A RESULT OF THE RAINWATER, BUT IN COMPARISON TO OTHER SYSTEMS AROUND EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA, I THINK WE DID A GREAT JOB AND, UH, THE PLANT PERFORM ADMIRABLY.
DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU.
NEXT ITEM IS THE HEAD AS A REPORT.
THAT'S THE DIRECTOR OF PLANNING.
UH, TWO AREAS I'D LIKE TO REPORT ON FIRST PAGE, THE TOWN ACQUISITION AND RELOCATION PROGRAM STAFF MET WITH OWNERS AND RESIDENTS OF THE PAVEY TOWN COMMUNITY.
LAST THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21ST AT STANLEY FLIGHT CENTER.
ALDERMAN MATTINGLY WAS THERE ALL THE WOMAN, BARBARA LEE WAS OUT OF TOWN, BUT DID ARRIVE, UH, TOWARD THE END OF THE MEETING.
AND, UH, COMMISSIONER JOHNNY SAMSON WAS ALSO THERE.
WE HAD, UH, FOUR REPRESENTATIVES FROM FEMA, UH, WHO WERE JUST WANTING TO SEE THE TYPE OF INFORMATION THAT WAS BEING PROVIDED, UM, TO CITIZENS.
AND WE HAD APPROXIMATELY 25, UH, OWNERS AND RESIDENTS FROM THE AREA HAD A, I THINK A VERY POSITIVE, UH, MEETING THERE.
UH, WE'LL BE RELOCATING OUR FIRST FAMILY FROM THE PAPER TOWN AREA NEXT TUESDAY.
AND WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH TWO OTHER FAMILIES ON THEIR ACQUISITION RELOCATION AND EXPECT TO MAKE FOUR ADDITIONAL OFFERS.
UH, THIS WEEK, UH, WE HAD, UH, TENTATIVELY PLANNED ON MAILING THE OFFERS OUT, BUT, UH, WITH THE, UH, LEGAL AND REAL ESTATE JARGON CONTAINED THERE IN DECIDED IT WAS BEST TO SIT DOWN AND, AND GO ONE-ON-ONE WITH THE OWNERS, UH, WITH THE ACQUISITION AND RELOCATION INFORMATION.
SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING AT THIS TIME.
UH, WE'RE WORKING WITH, UH, LOCAL REAL ESTATE AGENTS TO HELP US IDENTIFY COMPARABLE REPLACEMENT DWELLINGS.
AND WE'LL BE TALKING WITH SOME BUYER'S AGENTS, UH, TOWARD ASSISTING US IN LOCATING REPLACEMENT HOUSING, UH, FOR THE RELOCATE TEAS AND THE WOODROW H M G P PROJECT.
WE HELD A MEETING IN THE COMMUNITY ON OCTOBER THE SIXTH WITH APPROXIMATELY, UH, 70 PERSONS IN ATTENDANCE.
UH, WE PRESENTED, UH, THE SCOPE OF THE PROGRAM, UH, ANSWERED QUESTIONS.
UM, SINCE THAT TIME, THE CONSULTANT CONSULTANTS REP HAS CONTACTED 20 HOUSEHOLDS TO BEGIN GATHERING THE NECESSARY BENEFIT AND OTHER INFORMATION, UH, FOR THE ELEVATION, UH, PROJECTS THERE.
UH, WE HOPE TO SOON BE ABLE TO START GETTING SOME ENGINEERS OUT, UH, WITHIN THE NEXT 30 DAYS TO START GETTING UNDER THE HOUSES AND, UH, DOING THEIR WORK WRITE-UPS.
UH, WE HAVE ALSO IN RESPONSE TO, UH, THE BOARD'S COMMENTS MODIFIED THE PRIORITY LISTING, UH, APPROACH FOR THE UNITS THAT WE WOULD TREAT, UH, GOING WITH THE UNITS THAT HAD THE LOWEST ELEVATION.
FIRST, THOSE THAT ARE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO FLOODING.
UH, WE REVIEWED THIS WITH, UH, THE FOLKS THAT WERE AT THE MEETING, UH, IN WOODROW AND THE SIXTH.
AND, UH, THE, THE REACTION WAS POSITIVE THAT THEY FELT THIS WAS MORE IN LINE WITH, UH, THE WAY IT SHOULD BE APPROACHED.
UH, WE CHECKED WITH THE FEDERAL AGENCY AND THEY STATED THAT, UH, WE HAD ENOUGH FLEXIBILITY IN THERE THAT THAT WAS AN APPROACH THAT WOULD NOT REQUIRE A FORMAL PROGRAM ON THEM MUCH.
THEY GAVE US THE NOD TO GO AHEAD WITH THAT APPROACH.
UM, LASTLY, UH, DENNIS AND FLOYD DAMAGE, UH, WE HAVE HAD SOME INITIAL CONVERSATIONS WITH THE CONSULTANT AND FEMA REPRESENTATIVES ABOUT A POSSIBLE APPLICATION FOR SOME OF THE DENIS AND FLOYD, UH, DAMAGING DAMAGES.
UH, WE'LL CONTINUE TO TALK WITH THEM TOWARD GETTING SOMETHING TOGETHER.
UH, THE WORD WE'RE HAVING FROM THEM RIGHT NOW IS THAT THE PRIORITY IS GOING TO BE ACQUISITION AND FOR THE HARDEST HIT AREAS FIRST, UM, I THINK, UH, THE ISSUE OF ELEVATION FOR ANY POSSIBLE DENTIST OR FLOYD DAMAGE, UH, IS GOING TO BE A SECONDARY PRIORITY.
UH, AND WITH THEM FOCUSING MORE ON ACQUISITION FOR, FOR ANY FUNDS FROM THOSE TWO HURRICANES, UM, BE GLAD TO ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.
IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'VE BEEN REAL, REAL BUSY ON IT, AND THERE'S NO QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD BACK IN MY, YOU, UH, I'D LIKE TO RECOGNIZE ALL OF THEM IN THE FREEZER FOR ME.
THANK YOU, MAYOR PRO TEM, UH, CITY MANAGER, BILL HARTMAN, AND ROBERT RAINER.
AND I HAVE JUST RETURNED FROM THE ANNUAL NORTH CAROLINA LEAGUE OF MUNICIPALITIES CONFERENCE.
THAT MAY BE WHY ROBIN'S NOT HERE.
HE MAY STILL BE ON THE ROAD, BUT ONE OF THE MAJOR TOPICS, AS YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WAS THE HURRICANE DAMAGE AND THE PROBLEMS
[00:15:01]
THAT ARE SEVERE IN MANY NORTH CAROLINA, EASTERN COMMUNITIES.ONE OF THE MAJOR CRITICISMS MADE AT THAT MEETING WAS HOW SLOW THE HANDING OUT OF ASSISTANCE HAS BEEN ON THE PART OF FEMA.
AND WHILE HE WAS NOT OFFERING THESE FIGURES AND DEFENSE, BUT JUST FOR INFLAMMATION, THE FEMA DIRECTOR, JAMES WIT GAVE US THEM THE STATISTICS THAT APPROXIMATELY 68,000 APPLICATIONS FOR ASSISTANCE.
THIS IS NOT A, THE MITIGATION PROCESS.
THIS IS JUST, UH, IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE AND ON IN CASH, OR TO HELP THEM FIND A PLACE TO LIVE FOR THE TIME BEING HAVE BEEN RECEIVED SO FAR 68,000 APPLICATIONS, THEY HAVE ALREADY PAID OUT $38 MILLION, AND THAT REPRESENTS ONLY 6,900 OF THE FAMILIES.
OF COURSE, THERE ARE DIFFERENT NUMBERS OF PEOPLE IN THOSE FAMILIES TO MAKE UP THE 68,000 ACTUAL APPLICATIONS.
THE SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION HAS MADE LOANS IN EXCESS OF WELL TO APPROXIMATELY 3,500 BUSINESSES OR OTHER INSTITUTIONS THAT WERE DAMAGED IN THE HURRICANE.
OF COURSE, THE FIGURES THAT MIKE GAVE YOU ON THE MITIGATION PROCESS DATE ALL THE WAY BACK TO FRAN AND DIRECTOR WIT DID EMPHASIZE THAT IN THE FUTURE, HE FELT THAT THE OBJECTIVE WOULD BE TO ACQUIRE MORE LAND ALONG THE RIVER, MORE HOUSES AND REMOVE THEM RATHER THAN TRY TO ELEVATE THEM.
I HAVE TALKED TO MIKE ABOUT THIS, AND THIS MAY BE PRACTICAL IN SOME COMMUNITIES THAT RECEIVE DAMAGE THAT DO NOT HAVE AS MUCH WATERFRONT PROPERTY AS EXISTED IN EASTON NEWBURGH WITH THE TRENT RIVER AND THE NEUSE RIVER.
SO THAT MAY NOT BE AN OPTION HERE BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE OWN HOMES ON THE RIVER, AND A LOT OF PEOPLE OWN PROPERTY ON THE RIVER THAT THEY WANT TO BUILD HOMES ON AT A FUTURE DATE.
AND TO TAKE AWAY THE PRIVILEGE OF DOING THIS WOULD BE RATHER HARSH.
SO THE IDEA OF BUYING UP A LOT OF PROPERTY OR HOMES TO PREVENT THEM FROM BEING DEVELOPED MAY NOT BE AN ALTERNATIVE FOR THE NEWBURN AREA, BUT HE WAS ENCOURAGING IN MANY WAYS WITH THE, UH, WITH THE SPEED WITH WHICH THEY ARE AND HANDLING THESE APPLICATIONS FOR IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE.
AND THE GOVERNOR ALSO TOLD US AT THAT MEETING TODAY THAT A MAJOR PRIORITY FOR HIS OFFICE IS SPEEDING UP THE PROCESS OF GETTING ASSISTANCE TO THE PEOPLE WHO NEED IT FROM HURRICANE FLOYD.
SO THERE IS A LOT GOING ON IN RALEIGH.
THERE'S A LOT GOING ON IN WASHINGTON TO HELP THE PEOPLE WHO NEED ASSISTANCE FROM THE HURRICANE DAMAGE, BUT WITH 68,000 APPLICATIONS RECEIVED AND JUST OVER 30 DAYS, OR IT'S BEEN JUST OVER 30 DAYS SINCE THE HURRICANE HIT IT'S, IT'S TAKING SOME TIME TO HANDLE ALL THAT PAPER.
I JUST THOUGHT I WOULD BRING YOU UP TO THE BOARD UP TO SPEED ON WHAT TRANSPIRED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
IT WAS MUCH MORE INVOLVED THAN THAT, BUT THAT'S JUST A QUICK OVERVIEW.
ALL THE PRAISE, UH, WAS ON TO THE NEXT ITEM, WHICH IS A PUBLIC HEARING AND ADOPT RESOLUTION TO CONSIDER REZONING ONE POINT 125 ACRE LOT LOCATED AT 24 0 2 TRENT ROAD FROM C4 NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS DISTRICT TO C THREE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.
BEFORE WE, UH, OPEN THE PUBLIC HERE.
AND I'D LIKE TO HEAR FROM MY STAFF, JORDAN MAYOR PRO TEM, BALLENGER, AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF ALDERMAN.
THE SUBJECT LOT IS LOCATED ON TRENT ROAD IN AN AREA THAT'S SURROUNDED BY INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS.
IT'S THE MOST USED DISTRICT AND THAT IT'S OCTOBER 5TH, 1999, REGULAR MEETING THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO RECOMMEND THAT REZONING BE APPROVED.
YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER THEM.
THEY WEREN'T IN THE OPPOSITION AND YOU'LL BE NO, THERE WERE NOT.
WHAT APPEARED OF SPOKEN OPPOSITION TO PROPOSED REZONING IS PROBABLY THE NEXT TO THE, UH, THE HAMPTON AGAIN FOR CLOSE TO HOTEL DRIVE.
THEN I OPENED TO HAVE A MOTION OPEN TO PUBLIC ARISTOTLE.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER PEOPLE TO BE HEARD FROM THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OVER HERE? ANYONE FROM THE LEFT, WHO WOULD LIKE TO BE HEARD WHEN IT'S PUBLIC HERE, BE CLOSE.
[00:20:01]
IN FAVOR OF CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING.WE HAVE A MOTION MADE AND SECONDED.
UH, MADAM CLERK CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE.
THE NEXT IS A PUBLIC HEARING AND ADOPTED RESOLUTION TO PURSUE A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUESTS TO CONSTRUCT A 66 FOOT MILK SILO HAD MALE.
UH, ACTUALLY THESE CAN, THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS ARE, ARE QUITE A ROUTINE TYPE THINGS YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH HERE.
SO A LOT OF THIS I'M GOING TO HAVE TO READ OUT AND GO STEP BY STEP.
AND SO WE CAN COVER ALL THE POINTS THAT'S REQUIRED.
THE FIRST IS THE WHOLE, OH, SORRY.
THE FIRST PART OF IT IS TO, UH, HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING.
SO I HAD A MOTION TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING.
ALL THE PERSONS THAT WISH TO SPEAK AT THIS PUBLIC HEARING MUST BE SWORN IN.
SO THOSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK DURING THIS PUBLIC HEARING COULD COME FORWARD AND BE SWORN IN.
SO, UH, WE'LL HAVE TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HERE AND MOVE THE PUBLIC HEARING TO BE CLOSED SECOND OKAY.
WE ALSO SAW, I WRAPPED TO RECEIVE EVIDENCE AND TESTIMONY ON THIS BEFORE WE CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING.
UH, WE HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE MAIL COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME.
YOU HAVE TO BE SWORN IN BERNARD, WOULD YOU TAKE CARE OF THAT FOR US? I HAVE, I HAVE NOT A WHOLE LOT OF ANYTHING TO ADD FROM WHAT WE HAD FROM THE ADDITIONAL MEETING THAT'S BEFORE I WAS NOT TO THAT KNEW THEM, BUT JIM GREEN.
AND THE ONLY THING IS, IS WE ARE REQUESTING, THEY PAY A SILO TANK WHERE ALL STORAGE, WHICH IS IN THE STATUTE FOR RECEIVING AS ARE ALL PRODUCTS TANKERS FROM THE OUTSIDE, THE DAIRY FARMS AND SO FORTH.
AND A REASON FOR THE ADDITIONAL HEIGHT IS, IS WE HAVE A RESTRICTION THAT WE CANNOT GET A LARGER DIAMETER TANK TO BRING IN HERE BECAUSE OF THE ROAD RESTRICTIONS DURING UNDER A HUNDRED PAGES AND THIS SORT OF THING.
SO WE'RE IN THE NEED OF A 50,000 GALLON SILO IN ORDER TO HANDLE THE INCOMING PRODUCT.
AND WE ARE USING RIGHT NOW, UH, IT IS ONLY AN INCREASE OF A SMALL AMOUNT FROM WHAT THE ADDITIONAL TANKS THAT, UH, IS IN THE SILOED BED.
RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE UP TO 43 FEET HIGH TANKS NOW.
SO WE ARE HAVING INCREASED FROM, UH, 43 TO 66 IN ORDER TO HOUSE SUPPLY OF MILK, USING SMELL.
THE REASONS THAT WE NEED THIS TANK IS THAT THE STATE PUBLIC HEALTH REQUIRES US TO CLEAN THESE TANKS EVERY 24 HOURS.
AND IN ORDER FOR US TO GET PROPER ROTATION, TO GET THE CLEANING AND IT SHOULD BE DONE TO THESE, UM, WE MADE THE ADDITIONAL STORAGE FOR PROPER ROTATION TO DO THIS.
SO THIS IS REALLY THE MAIN REASONS FOR THE, FOR THE NEED FOR THIS TIME.
AND, UH, IT IS NOT A ADDITIONAL TANK IS TAKING ONE TANK OUT OF THE SAME BED, PUT ANOTHER TIME, RIGHT.
SO IT'S NOT ANYTHING ADDITIONAL OTHER THAN THE, UH, PEOPLE HIRING THE EXISTING TANKS, HAVING A QUESTION.
HAVE YOU HAD ANY, UM, OPPOSITION TO YOUR PROPOSAL? I WAS NOT TO THE MAIN NERVE OKAY.
THAT'S WHAT, UH, I HAD HAD SOME CONCERNS EXPRESSED WHAT I THOUGHT THAT I THINK.
I MIGHT BE GETTING IT CONFUSED TOO, BUT I RECALL GOING OVER TO MAIL A PLANT
[00:25:01]
WHEN THEY WERE DOING SOME AUDITION, THEY, THEY WERE GOING TO BUILD IT.THIS, ARE WE STILL TALKING ABOUT THE SAME THING OR THE SAME AREA? NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY BUILDING WITH, AND THIS WAS STRICTLY OKAY.
THAT'S THAT'S THE WAY I THINK IT WAS THE CONFUSED CAUSE PEOPLE WERE POSTS.
YOU REMEMBER THEY HAD A PROBLEM WITH SOME OF THEM AUDITION.
THERE WAS A OPPOSITION TO THIS BUILDING, THE BACK OF THE PLANT AND NEAR THE RESIDENCE, THIS AVENUE CITY, I MEAN NORTH GREGORY STREET, WHICH IS NOT NEAR ANY RESIDENTIAL AREA.
IN FACT, IT'S ABOUT, WE HAD WAY THE BLOCK BETWEEN
THEY WON'T GIVE HIM THE ICE CREAM TO SELL IN MY STORE.
THAT'S WHY I ASKED HIM WHAT HIS NAME THANK YOU, SIR.
DOES ANYONE ELSE TO PRESENT EVIDENCE AND TESTIMONY, NOT NEXT, UH, AREAS TO REQUEST THE CLOSING OF THE PUBLIC HEARING SECOND, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR RABBI.
AND ACTUALLY HERE WE GO TO, IT'S RECEIVED A STAFF COMMENTS, PRESENTATION OF STAFF COMMENTS AND THEIR RECOMMENDATION TO THE ZONING BOARD MEETING THIS MONTH.
UH, WE DID HAVE SEVERAL RESIDENTS WHO APPEARED AT THE MEETING AND DISCUSS OUR ISSUES ARE RELATED TO THE MEAL PLAN, BUT NONE OF THE RESIDENTS WERE OPPOSED TO THIS CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT.
STAFF ALSO RECOMMENDS THAT CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT BE APPROVED AND THE QUESTIONS OKAY.
WHO DOES THE ISSUES THAT WERE BEING BROUGHT UP? YOU GUYS THINK Y'ALL GOING TO GET OUT OF HERE EARLY.
YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TOLD ME THE WESTERN BACK FROM RALEIGH, WHERE THERE ANY ISSUES THAT THE ISSUES THAT WERE BROUGHT UP IN REGARDS TO THE MALE PLANT AFFECT THE ANYWAY, THE KINDS OF THINGS THAT BEING REQUESTED ABOUT HOW THESE ISSUES ARE ISSUES THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS IN ANY WAY.
THE ISSUES THAT WERE ADDRESSED AT THE MEETING THAT ACTUALLY ROSE WHERE ISSUES CONCERNING NOISE GENERATED FROM THE MALE OF THE PLANT FROM CONDENSES AND IN THE CASE OF THE SOLID TANKS, THERE ARE NO MOVING PARTS AND THERE'S NO NOISE GENERATED FROM THE SILO.
SO IT SHOULD BE PRETTY SOLID OPERATION.
THE NEXT POINT OF THIS ACTION WOULD BE TO THE BOARD, DISCUSSING THE APPLICATION.
THE FIRST WE'LL HAVE OPEN DISCUSSION ON IT.
AND THEN I HAVE TO READ OUT SIX QUESTIONS THAT WE WILL HAVE TO ACT ON INDIVIDUALLY BEFORE WE CAN NOT GO WITH IT.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION BEFORE WE GO THROUGH THE SIX ITEMS? OKAY.
FIRST ITEM IS THAT THE REQUEST PERMIT IS WITHIN THE BOARD OF ALL OF US JURISDICTION.
ACCORDING TO THE TABLE OF PERMISSIBLE USES THE APPLICATION.
WE SUPPOSED TO ANSWER THAT MOTION AND EACH ONE ON EACH ONE EMOTION SECOND.
WE'LL HAVE TO HAVE A ROLL CALL ON EACH ONE OF THESE.
WE CAN VOTE BY JUST SAYING AYE, THOSE OPPOSED, LIKE SIGN.
THE NEXT ONE IS THE APPLICATION IS COMPLETE.
THOSE OPPOSED LIKE SIGN THE THIRD ONE.
IT CAN PLEAD AS PROPOSED AND THE APPLICATION TO DEVELOPMENT WILL COMPLY WITH ALL THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS ORDINANCE.
THOSE OPPOSED LIKE SIGN THE FALSE ONE TO USE.
WE'RE NOT MATERIALLY ENDANGERED THE PUBLIC HEALTH, HEALTH OR SAFETY IF LOCATED WERE PROPOSED AND DEVELOP ACCORDING TO THE PLAN AS SUBMITTED.
OPPOSED LIKE SIGN THE FIFTH ONE.
THE USE WILL NOT SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCED THE VALUE OF A JOINT OR A BUDDING PROPERTY OR THAT THEY USE IS A PUBLIC NECESSITY.
LET'S TAKE A LOAD ON THE FIFTH ONE.
THOSE OPPOSED LIKE SIGN THE SIXTH.
ONE IS THE LOCATION IN CHARACTER OF THE DEVELOP.
ACCORDING TO THE PLAN AS SUBMITTED AND APPROVED WILL BE IN HARMONY WITH THE AREA IN WHICH IT IS TO BE LOCATED.
AND IN GENERAL CONFORMITY WITH THE PLAN OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE CITY.
[00:30:01]
SO MOVE UP, WE'LL HAVE A VOTE ON THIS, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.I BELIEVE WE HAD TO TAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE WHOLE MOTION TO ISSUE THE PERMIT.
WE'LL HAVE A ROLL CALL ON THAT.
WELL THE NEXT PUBLIC HEARING, IT SHOULDN'T BE THAT IT'S A CHANGE.
THAT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE'VE DONE WELL, I SPENT A LONG TIME.
THE NEXT ONE IS A PUBLIC HEARING AND ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO CONSIDER A REQUEST TO REZONE A 1301 SOUTH GLEN BURNIE ROAD FROM C5 OFFICE AND INSTITUTIONAL DISTRICT OF C4 NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS DISTRICT.
UH, WE HAVE STAFF COMMENTS ON THAT BEFORE WE OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING THESE REFERENCES TO RESOLUTION OR ERRONEOUS RESOLUTION TO ACCOMPLISH ZONING CHANGES.
THE REZONING, THE REQUEST OF REZONING FROM C5 OFFICE AND INSTITUTIONAL DISTRICT TO C4 NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS DISTRICT WAS REVIEWED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD AT ITS OCTOBER 5TH, 1999 MEETING.
AND THE PLAN IS ONLY WHAT VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO RECOMMEND THAT REZONING WILL BE APPROVED.
I'D BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.
AND SO AN ACTION TO GLEN BURNIE AT THE CORNER OF BRUNSWICK CABIN.
NUITY SECOND ENTRANCE INTO THE FOX CHASE VILLAGE.
UH, THIS IS THE OTHER LOCATION, MAYBE THE OLD ROUTINE.
I THINK IT'S AN APPROPRIATE USE OF THAT PROPERTY.
IT'S AN OLD BANK BUILDING AND I HOPE THE OWNERS CAN GET SOMETHING SIMILAR IN THERE NOW SO THAT WE CAN HAVE A, AN OCCUPANT IN THAT BUILDING, UH, ON AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
SO IT'S A PROPER INAPPROPRIATE USE OF THAT BUILDING.
I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE, WE HAVE TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING FIRST, UH, HEAR MOTION OPEN TO PUBLIC HERE.
ARE THERE ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO BE HEARD ON, UH, ON THIS, UH, PUBLIC AREA? WE'LL PROBABLY HEAR ME CLOSE ALL OF THOSE UP IN FAVOR.
THEN WE'LL UH, HAVE A ROLL CALL FOR ADOPTING THE YOU'LL HAVE TO MAKE A MOTION.
I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ADOPT THE ORDINANCE TO CHANGE THE LAST SECOND.
THE NEXT ITEM IS THE CONSENT AGENDA.
MAYBE WE ACCEPT THE CONSENT TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA.
THE REFERENCE TO THE AREA OF FIRE TRUCK SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN S U T P H E.
WE HAVE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE CONSENT AGENDA, BUT I DON'T HAVE A SECOND SECOND.
WITH THE CORRECTION MENTIONED BY THE CITY ATTORNEY.
I WOULD HAVE A ROLL CALL ON THAT.
THE NEXT ONE COMES TO APARTMENTS.
I WANT TO POINT TO THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS.
UH, ROBERT B WAIT, YOU SAID 14 YEARS EXPERIENCE, PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE IN PLANNING AND ZONING AND EXPERIENCING AND ALL THAT.
I THINK YOU WOULD, UH, BE A GOOD ONE TO SERVE ON THAT BOARD.
UH, AN EX WOULD BE UNDER THE MISCELLANEOUS.
UH, I LIKE TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT THE NOVEMBER 2ND SPECIAL BOND ELECTION, UH, IS COMING UP VERY NEXT TUESDAY.
AND WHILE I'M NOT GONNA SAY WHICH SIDE I SUPPORT, I JUST WANT EVERYBODY TO GET OUT AND VOTE.
AND AS PART OF YOUR CIVIC DUTY AND ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS WE WANT TO DO BECAUSE OF THE PRIZE TO THE CITY OF NEW BERN, AS WELL AS TO THE ENTIRE COUNTY IS PLEASE GET OUT AND VOTE,
[00:35:01]
MAKE YOUR VOTE COUNT.MISCELLANEOUS AND MISCELLANEOUS.
UH, I'LL AGREE WITH, UH, MR. MATTINGLY.
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THE PEOPLE VOTE AND I WILL GO SO FAR AS TO SAY, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT PASSED ALL THE TIME.
I'VE WORKED AS A SUBSTITUTE TEACHER AND A COUPLE OF THESE SCHOOLS AND SOME OF THEM ARE IN BAD SHAPE.
THEY NEED TO IMPROVE THE FACILITIES AND RAISE TEACHER SALARIES.
THIS UNFORTUNATELY DEALS ONLY WITH THE FACILITIES.
BUT ANYWAY, I WOULD LIKE TO GO ON RECORD AS SAYING, I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO UPGRADE THESE SCHOOLS BECAUSE IT'S DEPRESSING FOR THE TEACHERS.
AND IT'S DEPRESSING FOR THE STUDENTS AS WELL, WITHOUT QUESTION THE CITY MANAGER.
I JUST HAVE ONE, ONE COMMENT BEFORE I ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO CLOSE THE LAST MEETING, I ASKED HER ABOUT HOW MANY TREES THAT WE WERE GOING TO HAVE TO PUT ON FIRE FROM BOULEVARD BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE ASKED ME THAT AND I MADE THE STATEMENT OF 57.
TREES WILL BE PLANTED DOWN THAT AREA WITHOUT, UH, IT'S BEEN INCREASED.
NOW IT'S 75 TREES IS GOING TO BE PLANTED BY THAT.
SO THAT THAT'D BE MUCH BETTER.
AND I UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE END OF NOVEMBER IS WHEN THEY START PUTTING THESE TREES IN.
SO I, FOR THOSE FOLKS THAT, UH, THAT ARE WATCHING THIS PROGRAM THAT HAVE ASKED ME THIS A NUMBER OF TIMES.
SO I HOPE THIS ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION.
WELL, THE STATE'S PUTTING THEM IN.
WE ARE GOING TO INSTALL THE TREES AND STATE IS GOING TO PROVIDE THEM.
AND THEN WE ARE GOING TO MAINTAIN THOSE TREATS.
I THINK UNDER CONTRACT WITH THE STATE, WE'RE STARTING AT THE OLD HIGH SCHOOL GOING OUT.
I'M NOT POSITIVE OF THE ACTUAL LAYOUT JUICE.
I'LL HAVE TO FIND THAT FOR YOU.
I DIDN'T, I HAVEN'T SEEN THE ACTUAL LAYOUT, BUT IT WILL GO FROM, UH, I THINK FROM WHERE THE CONSTRUCTION STARTED ALL THE WAY OUT TO SOMEWHERE AROUND THE HIGH SCHOOL DRIVE.
GOT, BUT I'M NOT SURE OH YEAH.
I CERTAINLY LOOK FORWARD TO THE VIEW FLOWERS AND PLANT PLANTED OUT NEAR THE, UM, 55.
WE HAVE THE PERMIT TO PUT IN THE IRRIGATION AND IT MAY HAVE ALREADY BEEN INSTALLED AND THAT SHOULD BE DONE BY THE END OF THIS, UH, WELL, END OF THIS MONTH, GETTING TO CLOSE TO BE DONE VERY SOON.
I WAS TOLD THE END OF THIS MONTH.
SO I'VE BEEN LOOKING, I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY, JUST LOOKING WELL, THESE TREES ARE GOING TO GET RID OF THAT OPEN AND LOOKING SPACE DOWN AT BOULEVARD.
IT'S GOING TO REALLY BE AN IMPROVEMENT TO THE CITY.
I THINK I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
AND I KNOW THAT THIS IS PROBABLY ATTRACTIVE EXCEPT THE TIME THAT ALL THE LEAVES ARE BLOWING OFF AND ALL IN.
BUT I GUESS DADDY, I HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM THEN A BILL.
DAN, DID YOU COME? THERE WAS, UH, WE WENT INTO A NEIGHBORHOOD THE OTHER DAY TALKING ABOUT POSSIBLY BRINGING FOR THE BOARD, UH, TO ASK REQUEST WHAT FILL THE HEARING.
CAN YOU, I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS.
I REMEMBER THE GUY, I DON'T KNOW.
I MEAN, WE DON'T USE IT ANYMORE.
SO, UM, THE IDEA WAS THE GENTLEMAN WANTED TO ASK US IF WE WOULD CLOSE THE STREETS SO THAT THEY COULD TAKE THE PRIVATE CLEARED OFF AND IN DEVELOPING THE TWO LOSS, I THINK THEY HAD TWO LAST DAY OR ONE, A LOT AND IT'S POOR DRAINAGE.
AND SO HE JUST NEEDED SOME HELP FOR US TO WORK WITH HIM IN CLOSING THE STREET.
BUT DANNY CAN'T REMEMBER THE STREET WITH SUBLETTING TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE OKAY.
AND THE RESOLUTION DANNY CAN REMEMBER WHAT THE STRAIT IS.
THAT'S ALL RIGHT, DAN, I FORGOT STREAK TOO.
WHEN WE HAVE ANY MORE OF THESE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FILE, PRACTICE UP A LITTLE MORE UNUSUAL FOR US TO HANDLE AND I WILL DO BETTER NEXT TIME.
ANYTHING ELSE ON THE BOARD? I THINK THAT'S IT.
I, I JUST APOLOGIZE FOR BEING A LITTLE
[00:40:02]
OUT OF IT.ONLY TRYING TO USE THOSE STATISTICS, BUT IT'S BEEN, I'VE DONE A LOT OF TALKING FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS AND MY THROAT IS JUST ABOUT A HANDICAP.
