[00:00:13]
THEN WE'LL OPEN WITH A PRAYER BY THE REVEREND PETHEL SAMSON.
THE OTHER IS HE BOUGHT IN FOR YOU IN YOUR PRECIOUS NAME OF JESUS.
WHAT A THING IF YOU LIVE IN KANSAS AND TIM, THE MERCY, BUT MOST OF ALL EFFECTIVE WHEN IT SLIPPED JESUS, THAT WILL COST US.
YOU MIGHT HAVE HIM BACK IN TOWN AND IT FIRES THE SPECIALISTS.
AND THIS EVENING, UH, PUTTING THIS BOARD ONLY ON THE FATHER, TOUCHED HIM, WAS SPECIAL TOUCHING THE FATHER THAT REALIZED THAT EVERYTHING BELONGS TO YOU OR LORD IS GET THEM WHO BUILDS THOSE PIECES.
THEY FIND ANY REASON TO DISAGREE ON THE FATHER, GETTING THEM TO GET ON ONE ACCORD AND THE BOTTOM LIP TO YOU.
NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON OF WHEN HE GOES.
HERE WE HAVE IS OUR MONTHLY SEWER UPDATE ENGINEER WHICH ONE OR 2.3 92.2 MILLION GALLONS.
IN THE MONTH OF JUNE, THE AVERAGE DAILY FLOW FREQUENT GALLONS A DAY, THE MAXIMUM DAY FOUR WAS 3.7 BILLION GALLONS A DAY.
OUR VFD EFFICIENCY WAS 91% AND OUR SOLIDS, UH, SUSPENDED SOLIDS EFFICIENCY, 2%.
ONE THING IS THE SHORT DATE THAT VOLUNTARY MPS.
WE FAIL THE TOXICITY JUNE, AND WE FEEL NOT THAT IT WAS NOT HIGH ON
IT WAS A LITTLE HIGHER THAN THE NORMAL.
WE WILL RETEST TO BE DONE THURSDAY.
WE THEM THE TOXICITY IS THAT THE ONE WHERE YOU PUT THE LITTLE FISH? THAT'S THE FLATHEAD TEST.
WE HAD SIX FISH
WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THE MEMBERS THAT LIVE? UH, I WAS JUST WONDERING IF THERE WAS ANY WAY I CAN, WHEN YOU KNOW WHY DO YOU THINK THEY EXTRA AMMONIA COULD POSSIBLY BE FROM, UM, UH, TO PINPOINT? WE REALLY, UM, WE WERE OPERATIONALLY STRANDED THAT PARTICULAR
WE WERE SUPER AND TAKING
UM, WE PUT SLUDGE INTO A DIGESTER THAT CONVERTS FROM CANNONS TO INVOLVE KILOS, THE BACTERIA, AND AS THE SLUDGE DIES ITSELF, IT'S JUST LIKE TAKING MUDDY WATER AND SETTING IN A GLASS TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SLUDGE, SETTLE IN A CLEAR, IN A DIGESTER WE'RE ADDING MATERIAL DAILY AND POOL THE CLEAR LIQUID OFF THE TOP SO THAT WE CONTINUE TO HAVE ROOM TO ADD.
NEXT THING IS A SWIMMING POOL UPDATE BY THE RECREATION DIRECTOR.
FIRST OF ALL, UM, GENTLEMEN, ON THE BOARD MAYOR, YOU'RE AWARE THAT WE HAVE 10 ACRES OF LAND RECENTLY PURCHASED YOU THE WESTERN
[00:05:01]
EVERGREEN RECREATION CENTER.I HAVE TALKED TO DANNY MEADOWS ABOUT HOW THE DEAL ABOUT CLEARING THIS AND SOME OF THE COSTS THAT MIGHT BE INVOLVED IN PREPARING THE LAND.
IF THE POOL SHOULD GO THERE, THIS IS CLEAR CUT 10 OR 12 YEARS AGO.
SO WHAT'S ON THERE NOW IS SECOND GROVE.
NOW, DO YOU HAVE A ROAD PUT IN PERHAPS THE SOUTH END PROPERTY, IF THAT STILL NEGOTIATING STAGE, WE FEEL THE CITY CAN PROBABLY DO THE CLEARING OF THIS LAND AND, UH, THAT THE WETLANDS ISSUE IS NOT REALLY THAT BAD.
UH, THERE MAY BE SOME IN THERE THAT WE FEEL THEY CAN BE MITIGATED TO WEATHER AREAS.
THERE ARE WATER AND SEWER LINES AT THIS POINT, UH, AT KELLER FIELD, AS YOU KNOW, AND ALSO DOWN PINE CREEK THAT WOULD HAVE YOU HAVE IN YOUR HAND, A COPY OF A LETTER RECEIVED FROM DESIGN CONSULTANT.
UM, THEY MET WITH THE CITY MANAGER MYSELF THREE WEEKS AGO AND ARE WILLING TO COME DOWN AND TALK TO YOU AT A WORK SESSION PERHAPS IN SEPTEMBER.
AND I THINK IT WOULD BE WELL WORTH IT TO YOU AND TO HAVE THESE PEOPLE COME AND TALK TO ME, THEY'RE VERY, VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE.
WE ALSO HAVE ANOTHER ARCHITECTURAL GROUP WORKING ON PLAN IS NEXT PETERSON ARCHITECTS HERE IN UBER.
AND I TALKED TO MR. PETERSON THIS WEEK AND HE SAID HE WOULD HAVE SOMETHING BY THE NEXT BOARD MEETING YOU TO LOOK AT.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? UH, I JUST WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT NASTY AS A, AS A POINT OF REFERENCE FOR THE KIND OF POOL THAT WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE FOR THAT SITE.
WE REALLY WANT TO KEEP THE COSTS DOWN.
WE'RE NOT TRYING TO GET A COUNTRY CLUB POOL.
WE REALIZED THAT THIS OUTFIT WILL GIVE YOU SEVERAL OPTIONS FROM THEIR BUTTONS.
UH, WHAT WE'RE ASKING THESE, UH, ARCHITECTS FOR IT'S ABOUT A 3,700 TO FOUR TO 3000, UH, 4,000 FOOT POOL THAT WOULD HOLD ABOUT 250 PEOPLE AT HOME.
I TELL YOU AGAIN, ALL I'M TRYING TO SAY IS WE DON'T WANT ANYTHING UPSCALE BECAUSE IT'S A PUBLIC POOL.
AND, AND AS A POINT OF REFERENCE, I WANT YOU TO CONSIDER THE, A HOLLOWAY POOL SITE AND THEM, AND, UH, YOU CAN'T DIVE ON IT.
IT'S JUST BASICALLY WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT.
UH, EVEN THINKING OF ADOPTING.
NOT EVEN THINKING I WAS STANDING LIKE, WELL, I WOULD, YEAH, I WOULD HOPE.
AND OF COURSE ROBERT SAID THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE LOOKING AT COSTS, I UNDERSTAND COST, BUT, UH, I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT, UH, AND OF COURSE THEY'RE GOING TO COME WITH SOME DESIGNS TO US.
AND, YOU KNOW, I JUST HOPE THAT THE BOARD IS OPEN MINDED ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND THAT, UH, EVEN THOUGH WE MAY WANT TO SAVE SOME COSTS, WE DON'T WANT TO DO SOMETHING THAT IN TWO YEARS WE OUTGROW TRUE.
WE DON'T WANT TO DO SOMETHING THAT IN TWO YEARS IT MAY BEGAN TO DETERIORATE.
AND THEN IN TWO YEARS IT MAY NOT BE WHAT WE THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO HAVE.
SO HOPEFULLY THIS GROUP AND IN THE OTHER ARCHITECTS, YOU HAVE CAN GIVE US AN IDEA, UH, THE POOL DESIGN CONSULTANTS, UH, THAT'LL BE THE FIRST STEP.
MY QUESTION IS, WOULD THERE BE A NECESSITY TO HAVE ANY OTHER ARCHITECT COME WITH SOME DESIGN? WHEREAS THIS IS THIS GROUP'S JOB.
THIS IS WHAT THEY DO ALL THE TIME, ALL THE TIME.
SO MY THING IS PROBABLY WHERE WE NEED PETERSON OR SOMEONE ELSE TO GIVE US SOME DESIGNS WHEN MAYBE THEY CAN GIVE US AN IDEA OF WHERE WE NEED TO GO AND MAYBE GIVE SOME, SOME, SOME IDEAS OF WHAT HAS BEEN DONE IN THE PAST WITH OTHER CITIES.
AND I THINK SPENDING MONEY FOR OTHER ARCHITECTS TO GIVE US SOME DESIGN IS NOT NECESSARY RIGHT NOW, UNLESS THERE'S SOMETHING HERE THAT WE DON'T LIKE, BECAUSE THIS, THIS IS THEIR JOB.
WHAT THE POOL'S ABOUT WHEN THESE GUYS DO SOMETHING RIGHT.
[00:10:05]
COMMISSIONED PETERSON TO DESIGN FOR US.WE'VE TALKED TO HIM AND ASKED HIM TO GIVE US THE DESIGN.
WE'RE PAYING HIM TO DESIGN ONE.
AGAIN, WE DO HAVE A BILL OF $2,500 FOR THEM TO GO DO THEIR THING.
WE HAVE A PROPOSAL PROPOSAL YET.
WE HAVEN'T PAID ANYTHING
AND THE SAME THING WOULD BE FROM JOHN PIGS AND THEY'RE GONNA PUT TOGETHER A PROPOSAL AND THEN IT'D BE UP TO THE BOARD TO TWOS IS SOMEBODY THAT CAN GIVE US A TURNKEY JOB, ONE OUTFIT TO CAN COME IN AND DO IT ALL RIGHT.
AND, UM, BOTH OF THESE COMPANIES ARE CAPABLE OF DOING THAT.
WHAT ARE WE ASKING? BOTH OF THEM FOR THE SAME THING AT THIS POINT.
NOW THE WORDS ARE WE GETTING TWO PROPOSALS FOR THE SAME THING? WELL, THERE WILL BE DIFFERENT.
YOU MAY ASK THEM WHERE, WHERE, WHERE IS THE REQUEST FOR A PROPOSAL IS WHAT I'M ASKING.
IN OTHER WORDS, I SEE WHAT THIS GUY HAS, BUT PROBABLY HE'S PROPOSING A SITE-SPECIFIC SKETCH SOLUTIONS FOR THREE OPTIONS, COST BREAK DOWNS FOR THE THREE OPTIONS, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.
AND I THINK WHAT JULIUS WAS ASKING IS ARE WE, IS, IS, IS PETERSON, HAS HE BEEN ASKED TO DESIGN A PAINTERS FROM, IS GOING TO COME TO BOARD WITH FLOODING TIME? SO WE WOULD CHOOSE ONE.
I MEAN, ONE OF THEM, AS I UNDERSTAND, UM, WE'RE DEALING WITH ONE LOCAL, WHICH I THINK WHEN SHOULD GIVE A LOCAL PERSON AN OPPORTUNITY, BUT IT'LL BE FROM CHARLOTTE.
THE SECOND DEFINITION WE'RE TALKING ABOUT OUR SWIMMING POOL TO THE BOARD, BUT WHAT ARE, WHAT DO YOU INCLUDE A FACILITY? WHAT WOULD BE IN ADDITION TO WHAT ELSE?
THERE ARE A LOT OF REGULATORY AGENCIES INVOLVED A LOT.
SO IT'S THE TOTAL DESTRUCTION AND THAT'S WHEN, YEAH, A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN THE NORM.
WE HAD A COMMITTEE, WE MET WITH THE REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE SCHOOL BOARD AND OTHERS ABOUT A SWIMMING POOL.
AND THERE WERE RECOMMENDATIONS MADE THAT WE PAID FOR THAT.
I FORGET HOW LONG HAVE SOME TALKS WITH THE SCHOOL PROJECT AND THEN, UM, WELL, MR. SNEAD, UM, THAT IDEA SORT OF LIVE WITH YOU NOW, A LITTLE MEDIUM.
I RE I RECALL ROBERT AND I ALREADY KNOW THE MEETING.
WE TALKED WITH REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE Y AND SOME LOCAL ARCHITECTS AND SOMEBODY FROM THE SCHOOL BOARD, WE WERE LOOKING AT OPTIONS AT THAT TIME.
AND I JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WITH THEM, LIKE DIED DOWN.
WELL, I ACTUALLY THOUGH YOU LOOK AT THIS, THIS IS MUCH MORE DETAIL.
EVEN TO THIS DAY, WE KEEP HEARING DIFFERENT PRICES, MAN, AND AROUND ABOUT WHAT A POOL COSTS ALL THE WAY FROM WAY UP HERE OR SOMEWHERE DOWN IN HERE.
AND THIS PARTICULAR PROPOSAL WAS THE ONE I ASSUME THE OTHER ONE IS GOING TO BE TAKING YOU FROM ALL THE WAY FROM THE BAREBONES, WHICH THEY SAY MINIMUM ALL THE WAY TO A FULL FEATURE WITH ALL THE SPECIFICS, LIKE, WHAT IS IT GOING TO COST? HOW BIG WOULD IT BE? UH, IT SAYS DESIGNED SCHEDULE THROUGH OCCUPANCY.
SO THAT'S ALL THE WAY OR SOMEBODY JUMPS IN.
SO AFTER THIS, WE DON'T KNOW WHETHER IT'S THIS BIG OR THIS BIG OR WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, WHATEVER, THEN, YOU KNOW, PART OF THAT OTHER THING YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, AND I THINK ALSO INCLUDED, IT WAS THAT WAS PART OF A RECREATION STUDY THAT HAD THINGS OPEN THE POOL, YOU KNOW, THE COUNTY, IT DECIDED REALLY WHETHER THE WAS A GOOD THING AND THAT WOULD ALL COME IN THE WORK SESSION THAT NANCY RECOMMENDED IN SEPTEMBER.
[00:15:01]
PETERSON BE A PART OF THAT.HE SPOKE AS PART OF THAT AND THEN, BOOM, THAT'S FINE.
MS. PETERSON SUBMITTED THEIR PROPOSAL YET.
NEXT THING WE HAVE AS A PUBLIC AREA, INSTALLMENT FINANCING PROJECTS ON THE GENERAL STATUTES, 1 68 DASH 2010, ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE FILING OF AN APPLICATION FOR INSTALLMENT PURCHASE CONTRACT.
SO WHO'S GOING TO EXPLAIN, OKAY,
HOW DOES THAT PUT US ON THE GUIDELINES OF THE RIGHT NGOS, INSTALLING THE PURCHASES, ET CETERA, TO OUR, WHAT ARE THEY CALLED? RETAINED EARNINGS, BUT IN THIS CASE 8%.
AND SO FOR THAT, I ASKED ALL, BUT THERE'S EVERY YEAR TO DO THAT.
AND EVERY YEAR I'D SAY, EVERYTHING'S FINE.
I DIDN'T WANT TO WAIT ON NEXT YEAR TO HEAR ABOUT THIS.
I DON'T HAVE THAT PERSON IS RIGHT ON THE TOP OF MY HEAD, BUT OKAY.
ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO COMMENT ON THEIR PURCHASES ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
RIGHT? WE HAVE A, UH, WE NEED TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION, I GUESS A SECOND.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON ADOPTING THE RESOLUTION, YOU MIGHT CALL THE ROGAN.
PROBABLY GARIN CONSIDER ORDINANCE WITH ESTABLISHMENTS OF LAWSON CREEK NEIGHBORHOOD CONSERVATION OVERLAY DISTRICT, WHICH IS LAND USE ORDINANCE, ARTICLE 25 NEIGHBORHOOD CONSERVATION OVERLAY DISTRICTS.
THE BOARD, WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU AS A PROPOSED ORDINANCE TO ESTABLISH WHAT WOULD BE, UH, THE FIRST, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD CONSERVATION OVERLAY DISTRICT AND THE CITY OF BUBER.
THE OVERLAY CONSERVATION DISTRICT APPROACH IS, IS NOT TOO UNLIKE SOME OTHER OVERLAY DISTRICTS THAT WE HAVE IN THE CITY.
UH, PRINCIPALLY THE, UH, COMMERCIAL ENTRANCEWAY CORRIDOR OVERLAY DISTRICTS.
WE HAVE ESTABLISH ESSENTIALLY A DISTRICT, UH, PROVIDE SOME ADDITIONAL STANDARDS FOR DEVELOPMENT IN A DESIGNATED AREA, IN AN ATTEMPT TO TAILOR THE ZONING ORDINANCE TO THE PECULIARITIES OF THE PARTICULAR AREA.
UM, WHILE WE RECOGNIZE, UH, IN LAND USE GROWTH AND OTHER TYPES OF ISSUES IS THAT ZONING ORDINANCES BY THE VERY NATURE ARE FAIRLY UNIFORM AND HOMOGENOUS JUST, UH, THEY DON'T, THEY'RE NOT GOOD TYPE FITS FOR INDIVIDUAL LITHIUM WITHIN A GIVEN AREA.
AND WHAT THIS ATTEMPTS TO DO IS TO TAILOR THE ZONING ORDINANCE TO THE PARTICULAR NATURE OF A GIVEN AREA.
SO THEY ASKED, UH, AS NEW DEVELOPMENT TAKES PLACE, UH, IT DOES SO IN A MANNER THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE ALREADY ESTABLISHED BUILDINGS RELATIONS IN THE GIVEN NEIGHBORHOOD,
[00:20:02]
THE ORDINANCE DOES TWO THINGS.THE FIRST THING HE DOES IS ESTABLISH IS THE OVERLAY DISTRICT CONCEPT AND GIVES YOU A CRITERIA FOR DESIGNATING A SUBSEQUENT NEIGHBORHOODS OR THE CONSERVATION OVERLAY DISTRICT.
THE SECOND THING IT DOES IS ESTABLISHES THE FIRST OVERLAY DISTRICT, WHICH WE ARE CALLING THE LOSS OF CREEK NEIGHBORHOOD CONSERVATION.
UH, YOU'VE NEVER BEEN PROVIDED A MAP IN YOUR PACKETS.
AND I ALSO HAVE HERE TWO MAPS THAT SHOW THE AREA IT'S A SEVEN BLOCK AREA, UH, AS LISTED THAT IS LOCATED DIRECTLY INTO THE LAST OF THE DOWNTOWN HISTORIC DISTRICT.
IT IS ONE OF THE OLDER NEIGHBORHOODS WITHIN THE STATE IS ACTUALLY PLANTED IN ABOUT 1779 AS AN EXTENSION OF THE ORIGINAL BREAD TO THE CITY OF DENVER, THE AREA THAT DEVELOPS SPARSELY THROUGHOUT THE 19TH CENTURY, BUT BY THE LATE 19TH CENTURY BECAME A FAIRLY PROMINENT AFRICAN-AMERICAN NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE CITY THROUGHOUT THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY.
IT'S A VERY PROSPEROUS THRIVING NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT OVER THE YEARS, UH, AS BEST HAS TAKEN PLACE AS, UH, POPULATION HAS AGED, AS PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DOWN, THE HOUSING HAS DETERIORATED AND THEN YOUR STRUCTURES HAVE BEEN DEMOLISHED AND THE RESULT HAS BEEN, UH, THE LOSS OF THE ORIGINAL CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
IN RECENT YEARS, MOJO THERE'VE BEEN NUMEROUS IMPROVEMENTS
UM, HABITAT FOR HUMANITY, UH, HAS BEEN A VERY ACTIVE PLAYER IN THIS PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD WITH THREE, UH, RENOVATIONS AT OUR CHURCH SCREEN GEMS STREET, AS WELL AS A NEW POUNCE ON CHURCH STREET, WHICH IS THE TYPE OF MODEL THAT IS ENCOURAGED OR INFILL THAT ALL NOT VACANT LOTS IN THIS PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD.
THEY ARE ALSO, AS YOU ARE AWARE, PROPOSING 11 MONTHS SUBDIVISION.
AND I WALKED DOWN ON DRIVE, WHICH HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH THEIR ARCHITECT.
THE STANDARDS THAT ARE PRESENTED IN THIS ORDINANCE WERE COMPLIED WITH THE PROVISIONS THAT WE ARE ASKING.
UH, THE NEIGHBORHOOD ALSO HAD SEVERAL MAJOR INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE 1970S.
UM, WE CONDUCTED A LAND USE ANALYSIS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD JUST TO GET AN OF CONDITIONS.
UH, THE PREDOMINANT USAGE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS SINGLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE, 76% OF THE DISPATCHERS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD ARE SINGLE FAMILY COLLEAGUES.
UH, WE ALSO HAVE, UH, ALL THE HOUSING STOCK AS MOBILE HOMES.
THERE ARE 11 EXISTING MOBILE NODES, UH, SIX MULTIFAMILY, SEVEN AND DUPLEX.
I'M GONNA ASK YOU ABOUT 5% TOTAL 91 PASSES.
I INDICATED TO YOU THAT BACK IN THE 1970S, WHEN THE URBAN RENEWAL AND READ IT OUT, THE COMMISSION WAS IN PLACE MAPS.
WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY 121 HOUSES IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO WE'VE LOST, UH, WITHIN THE 20 YEAR PERIOD, UH, ALMOST 30 HOUSES IN THE, BUT, UH, SO WE'VE SEEN A GRADUAL EROSION OF A NEIGHBORHOOD SENSE OF PLACE AND CHARACTER.
THE INTENT BEHIND THE ORDINANCE IS TO ENCOURAGE NEW DEVELOPMENT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE CHARACTER OF THE OLDER ESTABLISHED HOUSING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
UH, AS YOU LOOK IN THE STANDARDS, WE BASICALLY APPLY OLD TO THE NEW CONSTRUCTION THAT WOULD TAKE PLACE.
EXISTING HOUSES WOULD BE GRANDFATHERED UNDER THIS PARTICULAR PROPOSAL.
UH, NEW HOUSES WOULD BE RE REQUIRED EITHER ON A CRAWLSPACE OR A MODIFIED SLAB, WHICH WOULD HAVE ABOUT AN 18 INCH, UH, VISIBLE MASONRY, UH, PERIMETER AROUND THE EDGE OF THE BUILDING STRUCTURES WOULD HAVE TO HAVE SOME SORT OF PORCH OR STOOP ELEMENT ON THE FRONT, AS WELL AS IMPORTING TATION TO THE STREET.
WE'VE ALSO RELAXED THE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO ACCOMMODATE THE FACT THAT A LOT OF SIZES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD ARE LESS THAN STANDARD.
AND, UM, WE'VE INCREASED A LOT COVERAGE REQUIREMENT TO 60%, WHICH WOULD GIVE THEM A LITTLE MORE FLEXIBILITY IN TERMS OF THE SIZE OF THE LONG.
AGAIN, THE IDEA WAS TO TRY AND ENCOURAGE NEW DEVELOPMENT THAT WILL BE KEEPING WITH THE CHARACTER OF THE OLDER DEVELOPMENT AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND BY DOING THIS TYPE OF PROBATION AND THE ALLOW GREATER FLEXIBILITY FOR THE PROPERTY OWNER TO BE ABLE TO SITE A NEW HOUSE ON Y UNDER THIS PROVISION, UH, MOBILE HOMES WOULD NOT BE PERMITTED AS A COORDINATED USE, WHICH THEY CURRENTLY ARE EXISTING.
MOBILE HOMES WOULD BE ALLOWED TO REMAIN, AND THEY WERE ALSO BE ALLOWED TO BE REPLACED WITH NEW MOBILE NOUNS.
FOR EXAMPLE, IF SOMEONE HAS A SINGLE WIDE MOBILE HOME AND WISH TO UPGRADE TO A DOUBLE-WIDE, IF THEY CAN MEET THE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS, THEY WILL BE ALLOWED TO, TO MAKE THAT UPGRADE WITHOUT ANY DIFFICULTY.
AND IN THIS PROVISION, THE IDEA WAS TO FOCUS JUST ON NEW CONSTRUCTION, THAT WOULD TAKE PLACE.
NEW RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT RENOVATIONS TO HOUSES WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THIS.
IT'S JUST PRINCIPALLY NEW CONSTRUCTION.
[00:25:02]
I'D BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.I DO HAVE A VIDEO OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH IT, YOU MIGHT GET A SENSE OF THE CHARACTER ON THE LAND SHOW, THE PRESTON'S NUMBER ONE, UH, SURPRISE.
WE HAVE ANOTHER STORM OPENING OFF AND IT TIRES UP SOMEBODY'S MOBILE HOME.
YOU SAID THEY CAN UPGRADE, BUT SUPPOSE LIVING EITHER GOD OR WHATEVER WAS IT, THE, UH, THE MOBILE HOME WAS TORN UP AND THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO UPGRADE.
MAYBE THEY CAN'T, YOU HAVE TO DEGRADE A LITTLE BIT.
THEY, THEY COULD REPLACE IT WITH ANOTHER ILLNESS.
SO THAT IS COVERED RUNNING SNAG.
THE OTHER THING WAS IN YOUR PROPOSAL, IT SAYS, I THINK IN HERE SOMEWHERE I GLANCE THROUGH IT THAT THE FUTURE NEIGHBORHOODS WOULD HAVE TO BE ESTABLISHED BEFORE 1968.
AND, AND AT NIGHT AT THE END, THE NEIGHBORHOODS WOULD HAVE TO HAVE SOME SORT OF ORGANIZATION GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATION OR WHATEVER.
IN OTHER WORDS, SOMEBODY THAT'S TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING FOR GOOD MATTER AND DIFFERENT DOES THIS NEIGHBORHOOD ALREADY.
I KNOW IT'S BEEN THAT SINCE 68, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEY KNOW ABOUT ALL THAT.
SO THEY'D UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE DOING HERE.
WE'VE HELD A FOCUS GROUP IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD BACK IN AUGUST OF LAST YEAR, UH, WHERE WE MET AND WE TALKED TO NATE OR THE RESIDENTS ABOUT, UH, THE ISSUES WITH FINDING YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND THERE WERE SEVERAL CONCERNS ADDRESSED, UH, DURING THAT TIME, ONE OF WHICH WAS A DESIRE TO SEE MORE, UH, HOUSING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, UH, PEOPLE, UH, THE, THE FACT THAT MANY OF THE BUILDINGS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAD BEEN LOST AND WANTED TO SEE MORE SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS, UH, THEIR WORDS, UH, SERVED AS EXPRESSED BY SOME RESIDENTS ABOUT WHAT WILL HELP SOME OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT THEY WOULD, UH, WE'RE NOT IN KEEPING WITH THE CHARACTER AND COULD RESULT IN A DEVIATION OF PROPERTY VALUES FROM OUR SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTS.
UM, WE ALSO HAVE THROUGH HAVE TASK PROJECT AND INVOLVED DISCUSSIONS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF THE NEW DEVELOPMENT THAT HAS TAKEN PLACE OR RECENT, UH, TIMEFRAME.
UH, WE DID HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS ISSUE, UH, IN JULY, JULY, FIRST PLANNING, ZONING BOARD.
UH, WE HAD TWO RESIDENTS WHO CAME AND BASICALLY WE DID NOT HAVE ANY EXPRESS OPPOSITION TO THE CONCEPT.
UH, THEY MAINLY ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PROPOSAL AND WANTED TO KNOW HOW IT WOULD IMPACT THEM SPECIFICALLY.
UH, LETTERS WERE SENT CERTIFIED LETTERS WERE SENT TO ALL AFFECTED PROPERTY OWNERS, AS WELL AS EVERYONE WITHIN 100 FEET.
AND, UH, WE ALSO HAD A NEWSPAPER ADVERTISEMENT THAT RAN FOR FOUR CONSECUTIVE WEEKS AND THE NEWSPAPER AND GAVE PEOPLE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE US A CALL.
I HAVE NOT HAD, UH, REALLY ANY PHONE CALL PER SE ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
I HAVE ONE LADY WHO CAME IN VERY EARLY ON, WHO, UM, WAS A POTENTIAL, UH, PRIVATE, WHO IS A PROPERTY OWNER, WHO THAT HAS POTENTIAL FOR BUILDING A NEW HOUSE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND SHE WAS ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW THIS WOULD IMPACT HER.
UM, BUT OTHER THAN THAT HAD NO OTHER CONTACT WITH INDIVIDUALS EXPRESSING A CONCERN ABOUT THE COMPOSABLE I HAD CALLED TODAY, OR ONE OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS FROM BRIAN SKEET.
AND I TOLD HER THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT YOU REITERATED THE EFFECT THAT THIS PROPOSAL WOULD BE ON THE EXISTING PROPERTIES.
YOU APPROVE A RENOVATION SHE'S CONCERNED, YOU KNOW, NOT QUITE UNDERSTANDING WHAT IT ALL MEANT THAT WHETHER OR NOT THERE WOULD BE ADDED RESTRICTIONS.
SO SHE BEGAN TO REMODEL RENOVATE HOUSES.
AND SO YOU WERE SAYING FOR HER
I MEAN, RENOVATE HER HOME PROPERTY WITHOUT ANY ADDED RESTRICTIONS.
SO IF YOU MAKE A MODIFICATION TO YOUR HOME AND THIS OVERLAID DISTRICT, YOU DON'T HAVE TO GET A, LIKE A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS.
UM, THE ONE THING ADDED ON A LITTLE BIT, LEAVE YOUR, UH, COMMENT.
THE ONE THING THAT THIS COULD DO TO HELP THAT PERSON IS FOR EXAMPLE, THEY WANTED TO ADD AN ADDITION ON THEIR HOUSE RIGHT NOW IN THE CURRENT ZONING ORDINANCE.
THERE'S THE 30% LOT COVERAGE REQUIREMENT.
AND THERE'S ALSO, UM, THE SETBACK ISSUES ARE A LITTLE MORE STRINGENT.
SHE CAN GO AS CLOSE AS FIVE FEET FROM THE PROPERTY LINE UNDER THIS PROPOSAL.
UH, THOSE PERMISSIONS ARE ALSO CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WE HAVE DOWNTOWN.
AGAIN, RECOGNIZING THAT THE OLDER AREAS OF THE CITY ARE TYPICALLY LARGER STRUCTURES ON THE SMALLER LOTS.
SO THIS WOULD GIVE SOMEONE THE FLEXIBILITY TO DO MORE IN THE WAY OF
[00:30:01]
IT WOULD BE BETTER.I WAS THINKING IT WOULD HELP HER IN HER PARTICULAR.
SHE WANTS TO ADD TO THE HOUSE.
AND SO DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING FOR IT OR AGAINST IT? YOU'D LIKE TO EXPRESS MS. JONES LIVES IN THAT DISTRICT.
DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING HIS, HIS UP COMMENTS? OKAY.
AND GENTLEMEN, RAISE YOUR HAND AND YOU RAISE YOUR HAND.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME UP AND YES.
MAY I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY SOMETHING? THIS IS A, CAN'T THINK OF A NAME NOW.
MS. JENKINS, RIGHT? MS. MS. JAYDEN WAS CONCERNING.
AND I SPOKE TO HER BEFORE, TO ME BECAUSE SHE WAS CONCERNED THAT POSSIBLY WOULD DO SOME TERRIBLE HOME, BUT IT DOESN'T DO ANYTHING TO YOUR HOME.
AND OF COURSE, WE'D SAY BEFORE ABOUT THE THERAPY PLAN AND THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS.
OH, THIS IS GOING TO DO IS, IS HOPEFULLY, UH, HOPEFULLY BETTER TO NEIGHBORHOOD AND ELIMINATE, UH, UH, MAYBE SOME LOOPHOLES THAT PEOPLE CAN GO AND DO THINGS THAT ARE MAYBE NOT DESIRABLE FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT FOR YOU IN THE HOME, IT DOES NOTHING AGAINST YOU AND YOUR PROPERTY.
BUT I WANT TO CLOSE THE PROBLEM HERE AND I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE PUPPY HERE.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? CALL THE ROLL PLEASE.
I HATE TO OVERTAKE HELPED RATHER THAN LIKELY GROUNDED.
AND I CAN SAY THIS BECAUSE MY WIFE, SHE'S NEVER SEEN ME WITH A SHOVEL IN MY HANDS BEFORE SHE DOESN'T WATCH THIS TV SHOW.
SHE WANTS
IS, IS THERE ANYTHING BEING DONE THERE? WELL, YOU COULD MAKE HIM GET UP.
HE WAS THINKING ON THE WAY TO THE MIND.
UH, YES, WE DO HAVE, UM, UH, UH, AN APPLICATION FOR A BUILDING PERMIT, UH, TO RENOVATE THE STRUCTURES.
WE ALSO HAVE, UH, SOME SEAL PLANS, UM, BY AN ARCHITECT.
I MEAN, EXCUSE ME, AN ENGINEER, UH, TALKING ABOUT THE, UH, ABILITY OF THOSE STRUCTURES,
[00:35:01]
UH, TO MEET THE BUILDING CODE WITH CERTAIN RENOVATIONS TAKING PLACE.UH, WE HAVE A, UM, A GENTLEMEN ONCE AGAIN, WHO HAS APPLIED FOR A PERMIT AS THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY, HOWEVER, UH, THE PROPERTY HAS CHANGED HANDS AT, UH, I THINK THERE WAS A FORECLOSURE IN PLACE AT ONE POINT THAT DID GO ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
BUT, UH, THERE IS SOME QUESTION AS TO WHO ACTUALLY OWNS THE PROPERTY RIGHT NOW.
AND SO, UH, WE'RE TRYING TO MOVE THAT UNDER HIS AND WHETHER OR NOT THE, AT PAGE FOUR BUILDING IN THIS BATTLE.
I DON'T KNOW THE WORDS WE'RE STILL STUCK WITH THE SITUATION AS IT IS FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
I THINK FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE, I GUESS THAT THERE IS A LENDER INVOLVED THAT THAT HAS SOME INTEREST AND, UH, THEY ARE PLAYING IT VERY CLOSE THEMSELVES AS FAR AS THE OWNER IS GOING TO DO THE LOT.
UH, UH, SCOTT DAVIS WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY'S FIRM WAS WORKING, UH, TO TRY TO SORT IT OUT.
I GUESS THE NEXT THING ON THE AGENDA IS TO CONSIDER THE SECOND GRADING OF THE TAXI CAB FRANCHISE.
ANY FURTHER EXPLANATION? I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION.
I THINK THAT EVERYBODY'S BEEN UP HERE HAS HAD QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS.
ONE OF, ALL OF THE TAXI CAB OWNERS.
I THINK WE'RE, WE'RE PRETTY WELL.
SURE, EVERYBODY, BUT MR. TURNER, MR. TURNER IS NOT GOT HIS CALVES UP TO PAUL.
WHAT HAPPENED? MR. MR. WARD? HE EXPLAINED THAT IF WE PASS THIS THING, AS IT SINCE, HEY MAMAS, THE, WHAT IS YOUR CALL? I INCLUDED A PROVISION IN THE ORDINANCE, WHICH QUOTED A SECTION OF THE CODE, ADDRESSING IMPLEMENTATION FRANCHISE ORDERS BY THE FRANCHISEES THAT IN EFFECT THE PLAN, THE AWARD OF A FRANCHISE TO AN INDIVIDUAL, KNOWING BOY, IF THE CATCH WILL NOT ACTIVATE HIM WITHIN 60 DAYS AS YOU'LL RECALL, THAT WAS A PROVISION THAT WAS INCLUDED IN ONE OF THE MEMOS TO THE BOARD PRIOR TO ACTION.
THAT'S PUBLIC HEARING, WHICH SAID THAT A MAJOR ROGER'S GIVEN NOTICE, TURN AGE, AND MARY A. DOWNS, I BELIEVE IN TUNE JUNE 30TH TO GET THAT SITUATION STRAIGHT, GET THE CAMP LICENSE, GET EVERYTHING IN ORDER.
THERE WAS NO AUTHORITY IN THE CITY FRANCHISE ORDINANCE AND CITY CODE ON THAT PARTICULAR STATE WHO DID THAT 60 DAY CANCELLATION PROVISION, WHICH PUTS THEM ON NOTICE.
SO THEY DON'T GET THE CABS LICENSED AND OPERATIONAL WITHIN 60 DAYS AFTER THEY AWARDED THE FRANCHISE.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED AND THAT MAKES IT BELIEVABLE TO SOMEBODY ELSE.
UM, SHE CAME BEFORE US AND REQUESTED TIME.
LAST TIME WE HAD SOMETIME IN AUGUST.
WE'LL CARRY IT BEYOND HER REQUESTS.
IN OTHER WORDS, IT'S 60 DAYS FROM THE ADOPTION OF
WE NEED TO CALL THE ROLL ON THIS.
NEXT THING IS A CONSENT AGENDA AS MAYOR.
I WOULD LIKE THE BALL ITEM 10 FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA FOR 16.
MUST'VE MET ANYBODY ELSE? WANT TO PULL ANYTHING BARBARA? BETWEEN YOU SAID SHE SAID 16.
I'M REALLY ADOPTED REMAINING ITEMS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION CALL THE ROLL PLEASE.
[00:40:02]
ALL RIGHT.MR. MADDEN, MR. MAYOR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.
UH, I SEE MR. DUNN IS IN THE AUDIENCE AND I WOULD LIKE TO PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGE THE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT HE HAS DONE TO CLEAN UP THE AREAS THAT WE SPECIFIED IN THE MEETING IN JUNE THE TENANT, HE'S DONE AN EXTRAORDINARY JOB AND DOING A LOT OF THE WORK THERE, BUT HE STILL NEEDS TO DO THREE MORE THINGS.
AND MR. TODD, COULD YOU COME UP TO THE PODIUM SO WE CAN TALK ABOUT, UH, THE WORK HAS BEEN DONE AND YOU GET A LOT OF YOURSELF AS I SAW YOU HAD BEEN DOING.
BUT WHAT I WOULD LIKE YOU TO DO IS THERE ARE THREE THINGS CONSIDERED, UH, FIRST OF ALL, THE DEBRIS THAT IS PILED UP ALONG THE BUFFER LINE BEHIND THE EXISTING HOME, SOMEHOW THAT DEBRIS GOT PLOWED UP RIGHT WHERE THE OPEN SPACES ARE AND MY NEIGHBORS CAN LOOK DIRECTLY OUT INTO THE DECLARED SPACE AND SEE THESE HUGE PILES OF DEBRIS, WHAT I'M REQUESTING YOU TO DO.
AND WE AGREED ON SITE THAT YOU WOULD MOVE THOSE PILES TO THE AREA THAT YOU WERE NOT GOING TO IMMEDIATELY GO WITHIN 30 DAYS.
I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU TO TELL THE BOARD THAT THAT IS YOUR INTENTION.
AND THERE MAYBE FOUR OR FIVE PILES OF DEBRIS ALONG THE, UH, BUFFER LINE, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE MOVE THOSE OUTSIDE.
AND THAT IS MY INTENTION TO MOVE THOSE 30 DAYS, I WANT YOU TO MOVE THEM NOW, AND THEN YOU CAN TAKE THEM AWAY WITHIN 30 DAYS RIGHT NOW, OR AN ISIS.
AND WHEN NEIGHBORS ARE COMPLAINING THAT THAT WAS NOT PART OF OUR ORIGINAL AGREEMENT.
SO I WOULD LIKE THE ASQ TO DO THAT.
PLUS I KNOW YOU HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH STORM WATER OUT THERE.
THIS PAST WEEKEND HAS DONE A MAJOR JOB ON FIXING THAT, BUT THERE IS A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIMING IN YEAR.
AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF WATER, STANDING WATER FINDING A IN THE LOW SPOTS.
AND I DON'T KNOW WHETHER YOU'RE GOING TO SOLVE THAT BY DRAINING OR HOW YOU DO THAT.
I'M CERTAINLY NOT AN ENGINEER.
YOU PROBABLY WOULD HAVE TO, UH, GIVE SOME OF YOUR BULLDOZER PEOPLE IN THERE TO FIX THAT.
BUT THAT'S A MOSQUITO BRAIN BREEDING RIGHT UP IN ADJACENT TO THAT NEIGHBOR.
SO WITH THOSE TWO THINGS, IF YOU WOULD AGREE TO DO THOSE THINGS, I'D BE MOST HAPPY TO RECOMMEND TO THE BOARD THAT WE APPROVE YOUR FINAL PLAN.
IS THAT A DOABLE MAKE THE MOTION? I MAKE A MOTION THAT A MR. DON WILL DO THOSE THINGS.
WE APPROVE HIS FINAL PLAN WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT HE'S GOING TO GET THE EXTENDED WITHIN 30 DAYS.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE.
YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES.
WE HAD TO GO OUT FOR A SECOND.
SO IT'D BE ON THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 16.
AND IT WAS 16 SECONDS OF DONATED PROPERTY IN THE DEPTH OF FIELD AREA.
AND I JUST WANTED TO BE KNOWN TO THE COMMUNITY THAT THERE ARE 2, 3, 4, UH, FOUR PARCELS OF LAND THAT HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO THE COMMUNITY AND BE GIVEN TO THE CITY TO BE USED FOR PARKS OR OPEN SPACES OR EASEMENTS, WHATEVER THE CITY NEEDS IT FOR.
AND THESE PROPERTIES, IF ANYONE'S INTERESTED, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SOME PROPERTIES JUST GIVEN ON PAY THE AVENUE AND SOMEONE, I WAS PARTICULARLY INTERESTED WITH THAT AND WAS GIVEN ON GARFIELD STREET.
THERE WAS SOME, UH, UH, UH, EAST ROSE AND ROBIN STREET.
AND THEN THERE WAS, UM, ANOTHER LOT GIVEN A FILE'S NAME, BUT AT TWO LOTS GIVEN.
SO, YOU KNOW, IS THERE THINGS THAT THESE LOTS THAT ARE BEING GIVEN TO THE CITY OR RECREATION OR HOUSING OR WHATEVER WE CAN DO THE REQUEST TONIGHT IS THAT WE ACCEPT THESE GIFTS AND I WANTED TO PULL IT OFF.
SO HE CAN JUST SAY, HE ASKED ME TO DO NEXT.
AND I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ACCEPT THIS.
MY MUM IS THE BOARD MASH AND SUGGEST THAT THEY'D
[00:45:01]
BE ACCEPTED WITHOUT TYING THEM TO A PARTICULAR PUBLIC VIEWS SAID, YOU NEED TO SELL IT AT SOME POINT.NOW I'M JUST WANTING TO LET THE COMMUNITY KNOW THAT IS AVAILABLE TO MEN.
IT COULD BE USED FOR VARIOUS THINGS, BUT NOT NECESSARILY ACCEPTED FOR A SPECIFIC REASON BECAUSE OF MY, AND I SUGGEST CAN WE STRIKE THE PORTION OF ITEM 16 ON THE AGENDA THAT SAYS FOR FUTURE? ALL RIGHT.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THAT ONE, PLEASE? MA'AM YES, YES, YES, YES, YES.
UH, CONCERNING THIS SAME ITEM I HAVE ASKED BEFORE IF THE CITY OWNS PROPERTY THAT WE CAN PUT UP FOR AUCTION SO THAT PEOPLE CAN BUY IT AND BUILD HOUSES ON IT, RATHER THAN IT JUST SITTING ON A SETTING EITHER SINCE THERE IS SUCH A NEED FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THE AREA.
AND, UH,
WE DO HAVE SOME LOSS CURRENTLY ONLY FOR CLOSING OFF THAT THE CITY AND THE COUNTY BOTH HAVE OWNERSHIP IN, UH,
LIKE, AND, UH, THAT SHOULD BE COMING UP IN THE NEAR TERM TO PUT THOSE LOTS BACK INTO USE THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY ON PAVEY AVENUE HAS A HOUSE ON IT.
DOES THAT HOUSE SALVAGEABLE OR DOES THAT NEED TO BE TORN DOWN? UM, IT DEPENDS, UH, THERE ARE STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS, UH, IS IT WORTH SAVING OR SHOULD WE JUST KNOCK IT DOWN? AND ALSO THE LOT FOR LIKE,
YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW TONIGHT, I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, IT WOULD BE WHO LEFT.
AND I MISS THE FRIENDS OF MY FRIENDS, MADE THOSE SUGGESTIONS BEFORE, AND I THINK
AND THE REASON THAT I WANTED TO PUT IT OFF THE TENDER COMEDY TO COMPUTER THE VISUAL ABOUT IT, THAT'S MAYBE COLLECTIVELY WITH THE COMMUNITY, THOSE ARE QUESTIONS, COME UP WITH SOME IDEAS OF HOW THESE PROBLEMS CAN BE USED FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS.
YOU KNOW, WE MIGHT FIND THAT THE VISITOR HOUSE THAT CAN BE GIVEN TO HALF THE, OF GIVEN TO SOMEONE, FIX IT UP, SELL IT.
I LIKE DOING SO MUCH BETTER THAN MINE.
IT, THERE ARE SOME SIGNIFICANT, UH, PROBLEMS WITH THE HOUSE, HOWEVER, DEPENDING ON WHAT KIND OF MONEY AND FINANCING IS AVAILABLE, HOW DOABLE THAT IS VARIES.
SO WE'LL HAVE TO SEE WHAT'S AVAILABLE AT THE TIME.
WELL, AT SOME POINT IT GETS TO BE A LOSING PROPOSITION.
WE'D BE BETTER OFF THAN DEMOLISH, AND I'M GOING TO BUILD A NICE, SMALLER HOUSE NEW FOR, I MEAN, I WOULD EVEN BE WILLING TO, FOR, FOR A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO'S QUALIFIED FINANCIALLY NEED HAVING THE FINANCING AVAILABLE, THEY COULD BORROW THE MONEY TO JUST HAVE A DRAWING.
DO YOU HAVE THESE LOTS WITH NECESSARILY JUST TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR SOMEBODY TO BUILD A HOME? AND THESE, THESE ARE NOT GOING TO BE EXPENSIVE, LOTS OF TOWNS ANYWAY, AND THAT IT ACCOMPLISHES A NUMBER OF THINGS.
THEY GET A HOME AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY'RE PAYING TAXES AGAINST, UH, DISCUSSIONS WITH THE CITY MANAGER IS TO WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION ON THE USE OF THESE PROPERTIES, UM, TO HELP ENSURE ACCURATE GUIDELINES IN PLACE IF IT IS IN FACT ON AND SO FORTH.
AND, UH, I THINK THIS WHOLE, LET ME ASK YOU ONE QUESTION ABOUT THE HOUSE ON K STREET.
YOU'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT BEFORE, IS IT NIKE?
[00:50:03]
I DON'T KNOW THE STATUS ON THAT.THERE HAVE BEEN, UH, THERE'S THE INTEREST SHOWN ON THE PART OF COMMUNITY LEADERS IN THAT AREA, UH, TO, UH, TAKE A LOOK AT THE SITUATION.
THEY'VE BEEN TALKING WITH SOME, UH, POTENTIAL DEVELOPERS ABOUT DOING SOMETHING WITH THEM, AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE, UH, MEETING WITH THE OWNERS, UH, IN THE COMING WEEKS AND MONTHS AND SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH THOSE ONE.
BUT THERE'S A LOT OF COMMUNITY INTEREST, UH, TO TRY THIS POSSIBLE.
WHEN YOU'RE AT THE MINE, WE STILL HAVE ONE HOUSE IN TOWN THAT DOES NOT HAVE INDOOR PLUMBING.
WE STILL HAVE ONE HOUSE AT A TIME WITH AN OUTHOUSE.
IS THAT CORRECT? WE DISCUSSED THAT ONE PATH NOT TOO LONG AGO.
I DON'T THINK THAT IS THE CASE ANYMORE.
I THINK THAT HAD, I TALKED TO JOHNNY
I WAS GOING TO SUGGEST THAT WE GET, GET WORKING ON THAT TOO, BECAUSE THAT BOTHERED.
I SET A PLANS WITH THE MEETING ROOMS ON THEM TOO, AND LET'S TAKE THEM.
AND WHEN WE GO TO BED, WE'LL BID ON BOTH OF THEM AND FIND OUT WHAT IT'S GOING TO COST.
SO WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO? WE HAD AGREED WITH THE COMMITTEE AGREED TO DO THAT TONIGHT.
IT'S AN AGREEMENT WITH ME, ANYBODY AGAINST THAT? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
