[VI. SPECIAL USE APPLICATION(S)]
IS IT TIME TO START THE PRESENTATION? YES, SIR.MR. CHAIRMAN, SO THIS WILL BE A PRESENTATION FOR THE CHARLES TAYLOR BUILDING RENOVATION, UH, SPECIAL USE PERMIT 0 0 3 1 4 4 2 0 2 5.
ALRIGHT, THANK YOU MR. CHAIRMAN, AND GOOD EVENING TO EVERYONE TONIGHT.
AND JUST AS THE CHAIRMAN SAID, WE'LL START OFF WITH OUR ONLY ITEM HERE.
THIS IS FOR THE CHARLES TAYLOR BUILDING RENOVATION.
UM, AND THIS, THE PROPOSED USE IS 3.115 IN ACCORDANCE WITH OUR TABLE OF PERMISSIBLE USES.
THIS IS THE, UH, GOVERNMENT OFFICE BUILDINGS AND SUPPORTING SERVICES CONTAINED WITHIN A FULLY ENCLOSED STRUCTURE.
THE APPLICANT AND PROPERTY OWNER ARE BOTH NEW BERN, UH, DASH CITY OF HOUSING AUTHORITY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TAX RECORD.
THIS IS HOW IT'S SHOWN AND WRITTEN.
UM, THE LOCATION CURRENTLY IS THREE 14 LIBERTY STREET, NEW BERN, NORTH CAROLINA, AND THE TOTAL ACREAGE IS APPROXIMATED AT 0.79.
PARCEL IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS ARE THERE.
UM, YOU'RE WELCOME TO JUST TAKE A REVIEW OF THAT.
AND THEN LASTLY, THE ZONING DISTRICTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROPERTY ARE RESIDENTIAL SIX R DASH SIX FOR RESIDENTIAL HEAT R DASH EIGHT FOR ABBREVIATION AND COMMERCIAL FOUR OR C DASH FOUR.
AND THE FIRST MAP, UH, YOU HAVE HERE ACTUALLY SHOWS, UH, FROM THE PREVIOUS HEARING WHERE WE HAD A CONTINUANCE OF THIS ITEM TO, TO THIS NOW DATE SPECIFIC FOR SEPTEMBER 25TH.
IT HAD THREE PARCELS INITIALLY BEING CONSIDERED FOR ITS PROPOSAL.
I JUST WANNA MAKE THE BOARD AWARE THAT ONE OF THOSE PARCELS HAS BEEN DISSOLVED BETWEEN TWO OF THE LARGER TRACKS.
AND ESSENTIALLY THAT MIDDLE PARCEL THAT YOU'RE SEEING, THE SMALLER SQUARE IS COMPLETELY DISSOLVED BETWEEN THE TWO, UH, LARGER TRACKS.
AND I'LL HAVE MAPS AT THE END OF IT THAT REFLECT THAT CHANGE JUST SO THAT THE BOARD CAN SEE THAT.
BUT EVERYTHING WAS DONE IN ACCORDANCE WITH, UH, LAND USE ORDINANCE.
IT WAS ALREADY RECORDED WITH THE REGISTER OF DEEDS BY THE APPLICANT.
SO ALL THESE THINGS HAVE BEEN, UM, TAKEN CARE OF AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAND USE ORDINANCE.
BUT THE FIRST MAP WE HAVE HERE IS JUST THE VICINITY FROM THE PREVIOUS, UM, HEARING THAT YOU HAD SEEN.
AND THAT'S FOLLOWED BY OUR BUFFER MAP ONCE AGAIN.
AND JUST TO STATE FOR THE RECORD, THERE WAS NO, UM, NEED FOR REIFICATION AS IT WAS CONTINUED TO EVADE CERTAIN FROM THE PREVIOUS HEARING.
AND NEXT YOU HAVE THE AERIAL MAP THAT JUST REFLECTS WHAT'S ON THE THERE AND THEN THAT'S FOLLOWED BY THE ZONING MAP AND THAT GIVES YOU THE DIFFERENCES OF ZONING DISTRICTS THAT WERE SET PREVIOUSLY.
AND AGAIN, I JUST WANTED TO SHOW YOU WHAT THE UPDATED, UH, MAP WOULD LOOK LIKE.
SO THE YELLOW THERE THAT YOU SEE THAT IS KIND OF DOTTED, UM, THAT SHOWS WHAT WAS PREVIOUS.
AND THEN IF YOU LOOK TO WHAT'S EXTENDING OUTSIDE WHERE THE RED DOTTED LINES ARE, THAT'S GONNA BE WHAT'S NEW AND ESSENTIALLY HOW THIS HAS BEEN DISSOLVED.
UM, AND ESSENTIALLY RE RECOMBINED.
AND THAT'S A AERIAL MAP JUST TO KIND OF GIVE YOU HOPEFULLY AN IDEA, UH, OF UNDERSTANDING ON THAT.
AND WE HAVE THAT FOLLOWED BY A VICINITY MAP JUST TO ELIMINATE ALL THE GROUND, UH, COVER THERE.
AND JUST TO SHOW YOU AGAIN, WHAT'S REFLECTIVE OF WHAT IS CURRENT.
SO IT MAY NOT BE REFLECTED RIGHT AWAY ON GIS.
THIS NORMALLY TAKES ABOUT A WEEK TO A WEEK AND A HALF TO BE REFLECTED IN SOME CASES.
UM, BUT THAT'S WHAT'S CURRENT.
AND THEN ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS HERE, THE STAFF HAS CONFIRMED THAT THE APPLICATION SUBMITTED WAS DEEMED TO BE COMPLETE.
UM, I CAN ALSO CONFIRM THAT THE REQUEST IS WITHIN ITS JURISDICTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TABLE OF PERMISSIBLE USES.
AND STAFF CAN ALSO CONFIRM THAT THE ITEM HAS ADDRESSED ALL OF THE DEPARTMENTAL SITE PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS.
[00:10:01]
LASTLY, YOU HAVE THE SITE PLAN ESSENTIALLY THAT WAS SUBMITTED.UM, AND ONCE AGAIN, AS FAR AS FOR THAT RECOMBINATION, THIS IS REFLECTIVE OF THAT AS WELL.
UM, SO YOU CAN SEE IT'S, THERE'S A LOT GOING ON, BUT YOU CAN SEE WHERE THAT WAS BASED ON WHAT THE PREVIOUS MAPS THAT I SHOWED YOU.
IT'S REFLECTIVE OF THE SAME THING, BUT IF THE BOARD HAS ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME, I'LL TAKE THOSE.
IT'S A MR. CHAIRMAN, IT'S AN INTERESTING PROPERTY LINE.
KENDRICK CAN, IS THERE ANY EXPLANATION NECESSARY OR NEEDED FOR UP THERE IN THE, SINCE THE PROPERTY LINE USED TO GO THAT WAY NOW IT KIND OF GOES THAT WAY.
I'M GONNA TRY TO SEE IF I CAN GET MY WAY BACK.
I THINK IT'S, IT'S JUST SLOWLY PICKING UP ON MY, UM, ON MY USB HERE.
I'M GONNA TRY TO GO BACK TO THAT AERIAL.
YEAH, JUST SO I CAN TRY TO PROVIDE SOME CONTACTS.
UH, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THEY MAY WANT TO EXPAND A PARKING LOT THAT IS GONNA SERVICE THE EXISTING STRUCTURE THAT'S ALREADY THERE.
UM, THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT IN CONJUNCTION WITH CONVERSATIONS THAT WERE HAD, UM, BETWEEN MYSELF, THE LEGAL COUNSEL, AND OF COURSE THE APPLICANT PLUS TO ACTUALLY DO THE RECOMBINATION BECAUSE OTHERWISE SATELLITE PARKING WOULD'VE HAD TO POTENTIALLY BE INVOLVED AND IT CREATES A LOT OF, UH, DISRUPTION, UM, IN SEVERAL WAYS TO WHERE IT MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT, CHALLENGING TO ACCOMPLISH.
SO THEY ELECTED TO GO WITH THE RECOMBINATION TO ALLEVIATE THAT.
UM, I KNOW THE PROPERTY LINES ARE SLIGHTLY WONKY, BUT WE HAD TO MAKE SURE THAT SETBACKS ARE STILL BEING COMPLIED WITH IN REGARDS IN REGARDS TO THE EXISTING STRUCTURES THAT ARE ALREADY THERE.
SO THAT KIND OF THROWS ANOTHER LOOP IN THERE FOR WHETHER IT BE THE, UM, THE SURVEYOR OR THE ENGINEERING COMPANY OR THE ARCHITECT TO MAKE SURE OR TO ENSURE THAT THE LINES ARE MEETING ALL THE DIFFERENCES THAT THE ORDINANCE ALSO REQUIRES THEM TO MEET WHEN CONDUCTING A RECOMBINATION.
SO THAT'S WHY THE LINES ARE KIND OF, UM, I GUESS A LITTLE DIFFERENT, IF YOU WILL.
IT'S NOT YOUR NATURAL, BUT THEY HAD TO COMPLY WITH SETBACKS TOO.
AND SO THIS WILL BE THE MAIN OFFICE FOR THE CITY OF NEW BERN HOUSING AUTHORITY MOVING FORWARD.
I, I BELIEVE THAT'S WHAT'S EXISTING, I DON'T KNOW ANY PRIOR USES FOR IT.
UM, WE HAD INITIALLY LOOKED AT THIS AND TRIED TO MAKE SURE TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO APPROACH IT, UM, AND IT WAS DEEMED THAT IT WAS UNDERNEATH THE GOVERNMENT USE AND A SPECIAL USE IS ACTUALLY REQUIRED BASED ON THE DISTRICT THAT THEY'RE IN.
SO THAT'S PRETTY MUCH WHAT BRINGS US HERE TO THIS POINT.
BUT AS I UNDERSTAND IT, IT IS AN OFFICE OF SOME SORT.
DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? THANK YOU.
SO AT THIS TIME WE'D LIKE TO CALL THE APPLICANT UP IF THEY HAVE ANY PRESENTATION FOR US OR A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE APPLICANT.
AND AGAIN, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND, AND YOUR EXPERTISE.
UH, MY NAME IS X, OH, THAT'S NOT, MY NAME IS XANDER PGA AND I'M WITH S STAGNER ARCHITECTURE.
AND MY ADDRESS IS 6 0 3 CRAWFORD CREEK DRIVE IN ROCKINGHAM, NORTH CAROLINA.
AND I MEAN, I THINK KENDRICK'S PRETTY MUCH COVERED THE BASE OF WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY, SO I'M JUST HERE TO ANSWER MORE QUESTIONS.
IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU GUYS NEED TO ASK ME.
UM, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS NEED TO GO OVER THE QUESTIONS THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY ASKED IN THE DRC MEETING, BUT I DON'T HAVE MUCH ELSE TO SAY UNLESS THERE'S ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR ME.
WELL, I GUESS ONE OF THE BIG QUESTIONS FOR THE, UH, MEMBERS, HAS EVERYBODY HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO READ THROUGH THE DOCUMENTATION AND LISTEN TO WHERE WE CAN, UH, WHEN WE DO ASK THE SIX QUESTIONS THAT WE CAN DISCUSS THEM AND OR MOVE FORWARD WITH WITHOUT ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
CAN YOU, FOR THE RECORD, JUST SAY YOUR, UM, YOUR JOB, YOUR TITLE, AND THE FIRM YOU'RE WORKING WITH? AGAIN? I'M WITH STOCK NET ARCHITECTURE.
AND WERE YOU A DRAFTER ON THIS PROJECT? YES.
AND SO BASED ON AND HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A DRAFTER? I'VE BEEN DRAFTING WITH THEM FOR ABOUT TWO AND A HALF YEARS.
SO IN YOUR EXPERIENCE, UM, AND YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE LOCATION OF THE BUILDING, RIGHT? MM-HMM
SO WITH YOUR EXPERIENCE AND UH, KNOWLEDGE OF THE LOCATION AND THE CHARACTER OF THIS BUILDING AND THE USE THAT IT'S GONNA BE, IS IT IN HARMONY WITH THE REST OF THAT AREA? I WOULD SAY SO SINCE WE'RE NOT EVEN CHANGING THE WAY THE BUILDING LOOKS TO BEGIN WITH, WE'RE PRETTY MUCH GOING BACK WITH THE SAME MATERIALS.
WE'RE JUST CLEANING THE BRICK.
THE SIDING THAT'S GETTING REPLACED IS GONNA LOOK PRETTY MUCH ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME.
SO WE'RE NOT REALLY INTERFERING WITH WHAT ALREADY WAS
[00:15:01]
THERE.AND THE ONLY OTHER QUESTION I GUESS I HAVE WOULD BE IN REFERENCE TO THE RECOMBINATION.
UM, DOES THAT REALLY MATERIAL CHANGE THE LAY OF THE LAND? UM, FROM THE GROUND? I MEAN, ON THE AERIAL IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT MAKES MUCH DIFFERENCE EXCEPT IT CUTS ACROSS A CORNER THERE.
UH, IT SHOULDN'T CHANGE THE LANDSCAPE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
IT'S PRETTY MUCH JUST WE ARE CHANGING THE LAY OF THE LAND SO WE COULD FIT THE PARKING IN THE BACK, BUT IT SHOULDN'T, IT'S NOT REALLY GONNA CHANGE ANYTHING.
UM, DRASTIC BACK THERE, NO CHALLENGES TO EXISTING PROPERTIES, I GUESS.
I KNOW STATE OFFICES AND OTHER SERVICES, WHAT TYPE OF SERVICES, UM, IS THERE? UM, SO WE, THEY ARE HAVING A COMMUNITY, UH, TWO COMMUNITY ROOMS IN THERE THAT CAN BE FORMED INTO ONE.
SO THAT COULD BE FOR A VARIETY OF THINGS IF THEY NEED TO HAVE ANY LIKE LEARNING SESSIONS OR THAT TYPE OF THINGS.
UH, MOST OF IT IS GOING TO BE AN OFFICE FOR OFFICE PURPOSES, BUT THE PURPOSE OF THE COMMUNITY ROOM IS SO THAT THEY HAVE OPTIONS TO PUT DIFFERENT TYPES OF PROGRAMS THAT THE COMMUNITY MAY NEED.
DOES THAT ANSWER THAT QUESTION? KNOW, I'M JUST SEEING WHAT TYPE, YOU KNOW, SERVICES, BUT I KNOW JUST GIVING OVERALL COMMUNITY SERVICES, BUT I WAS JUST NAME TRYING TO FOR YOU TO NAME A SPECIFIC SERVICE OR YOU JUST DON KNOW RIGHT NOW.
OH, WE DON'T KNOW THE SPECIFICS OF WHAT EXACTLY THEY'RE GONNA PUT ON THERE.
UH, WE WERE JUST TASKED WITH PROVIDING THEM A COMMUNITY SPACE SO THAT THEY COULD HAVE LEARNING SPACES AND ANYTHING ELSE THAT THEY WILL PROVIDE, BUT THEY DIDN'T GIVE US ANYTHING SUPER SPECIFIC ON WHAT THEY'RE PUTTING IN THOSE COMMUNITY SPACES.
SO IT, IT SOUNDS LIKE THE RESIDENTS ON THE ADJOINING PROPERTIES WOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME INTO THAT MEETING SPACE AND PARTICIPATE IN SOME TYPE OF LEARNING ACTIVITY THAT MIGHT HELP THEM IN THE FUTURE? YES.
THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING OF IT.
AND THEN I'M, I'M ASSUMING ALSO IT MIGHT BE USED FOR EMPLOYEES ALSO? YES.
DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? YEP.
DO WE HAVE ANYBODY ELSE THAT'S GONNA SPEAK? UM, I, I, MY NAME IS CHRISTOPHER MASHBURN.
I'M AN APPRAISER OUT OF MOREHEAD CITY, NORTH CAROLINA.
ADDRESS IS 3 0 0 3 BRIDGES STREET.
UM, I WAS ASKED TO ANSWER TWO OF THE QUESTIONS THAT ARE IN THAT SPECIAL USE APPLICATION.
ONE WOULD BE, WOULD IT IMPACT IN A POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE WAY ADJACENT OR BUDDING PROPERTIES AND ALSO, UH, TO OP UPON AS TO WHETHER OR NOT IT WOULD BE IN HARMONY WITH SURROUNDING LAND USES.
I THINK THAT REPORT WAS PROVIDED.
I DON'T KNOW IF, UH, IN ITS ENTIRETY IT IS SOMEWHAT LENGTHY.
THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION IN THERE, BUT I KNOW THAT FOR SURE KENDRICK WAS ABLE TO PUT THE FIRST FOUR PAGES IN THERE, WHICH SUMMARIZED WHAT THE FINDINGS WERE.
UM, BUT IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS TO THAT, I'M CERTAINLY HERE TO ANSWER ANY OF THOSE THAT Y'ALL MAY HAVE.
SO WE DID HAVE THE POSTING ONLINE OF ALL 110 PAGES.
UM, AND THERE ARE ONLY A FEW OF THOSE IN FRONT OF US, BUT WE DID HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO THROUGH THAT DRAFT EARLIER TODAY.
SO I APPRECIATE YOU GETTING IT INTO THE OFFICE OF THE STAFF TO GET IT SENT OUT TO THE BOARD.
DO WE HAVE ANY, UH, ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? NO.
SO BEFORE WE, I GUESS WE SHOULD CLOSE THE, THE PUBLIC HEARING, UH, PART OF THE DISCUSSION ANYWAY, DO WE HAVE ANY DISCUSSION BETWEEN THE BOARD MEMBERS BEFORE WE START THE PROCESS? NONE.
SO THE, THE FIRST, UM, ITEM THAT WE NEED TO DISCUSS IS THE REQUESTED PERMIT IS WITHIN ITS JURISDICTION, ACCORDING TO THE TABLE OF PERMISSIBLE USES.
AND MR. CHAIR, JUST BEFORE YOU DIVE INTO THAT INQUIRY, IF WE CAN JUST NOTE FOR THE RECORD THAT THERE ARE NO NOTIFIED OPPONENTS AND NOTIFIED PROPONENTS IN THE COURTROOM TO OFFER ANY ADDITIONAL TESTIMONY.
UH, FOLKS, THERE WERE NOTICES THAT WERE MAILED OUT, RIGHT? YES.
AND, AND THE INITIAL, UH, FOR THE PROPOSAL ABSOLUTELY.
UM, DO WE HAVE ANY DISCUSSION, MR. CHAIR? I MOVE THAT THE REQUESTED PERMIT IS WITHIN ITS JURISDICTION ACCORDING TO THE TABLE OF PERMISSIBLE
[00:20:01]
USES.SECOND, DO WE HAVE ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.
UH, NUMBER TWO, THE APPLICATION IS COMPLETE.
DO WE HAVE ANY DISCUSSION? DO WE HAVE A MOTION? MOVE THAT THE APPLICATION IS COMPLETE.
SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND THAT THE APPLICATION IS COMPLETE.
ANY ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.
ANY OPPOSED? THE MOTION CARRIES.
IF COMPLETED IS PROPOSED IN THE APPLICATION, THE DEVELOPMENT WILL COMPLY WITH ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS ORDINANCE.
DO WE HAVE ANY DISCUSSION? DO WE HAVE A MOTION? SO MOVED.
SO WE HAVE A MOTION SAYING THAT THE APPLICATION, UM, WILL COMPLY WITH ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS ORDINANCE.
DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO SECOND? ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR, AYE.
ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES THAT THE USE WILL NOT MATERIAL ENDANGER THE PUBLIC HEALTH OR SAFETY IF LOCATED WE'RE PROPOSED AND DEVELOPED ACCORDING TO THE PLAINTIFF AS SUBMITTED.
DO WE HAVE ANY DISCUSSION? DO WE HAVE A MOTION? SO MOVED.
SO WE HAVE AN MOTION AND A SECOND THAT THE USE WILL NOT MATERIAL ENDANGER THE PUBLIC HEALTH OR SAFETY IF LOCATED WERE PROPOSED AND DEVELOPED ACCORDING TO THE PLAN AS SUBMITTED.
UH, NUMBER FIVE, THAT THE USE WILL NOT SUBSTANTIALLY INJURE THE VALUE OF ADJOINING OR ABUTTING PROPERTY OR THAT THE USE IS A PUBLIC NECESSITY.
DO WE HAVE ANY DISCUSSION? HAVE A MOTION? I THINK, I THINK JUST BRIEF COMMENT.
I THINK BASED ON THE TESTIMONY WE HEARD, IT SATISFIES THE FIRST PART THAT ALLOCATION AND CHARACTER OF THE USE IF DEVELOPED ACCORDING TO THE PLAN WOULD BE IN HARMONY WITH THE AREA.
UM, BUT KNOWING THIS AREA AND THE FACILITY AND THE SPACES THAT WE HEARD ABOUT, I THINK IS ALSO PUBLIC NECESSITY.
SO I, ON BOTH OF THOSE FRONT, I THINK IT SATISFIES.
SO WITH THAT, I WOULD MOVE, UH, TO MAKE THAT FINDING EFFECT.
SECOND, SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND THAT THE USE WILL NOT SUBSTANTIALLY INJURE THE VALUE OF ADJOINING PROPERTY OR A VOTING PROPERTY.
AND THAT IS ALSO A PUBLIC NECESSITY.
ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.
ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES NUMBER SIX, THAT THE LOCATION AND CHARACTER OF THE USE IF DEVELOPED 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 OF NEWBURN.
SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND THAT THE LOCATION AND CHARACTER OF THE USE IT DEVELOPED 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 OF NEW BERN.
ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.
DO WE HAVE A, ANY DISCUSSION OR A MOTION TO, UH, ISSUE THE PERMIT OR DO WE HAVE ANY CONDITIONS THAT WE NEED TO ADD OR DISCUSS PRIOR TO THAT? I, I DON'T, I DON'T THINK THERE ARE ANY CONDITIONS BASED ON, I MEAN, THE TESTIMONY WE HEARD.
SO WITH THAT, I WOULD MOVE TO ISSUE THE PERMIT SECOND.
SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO ISSUE A PERMIT FOR SPECIAL USE.
THE CHARLES TAYLOR BILLING RENOVATION.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
WE, WE APPRECIATE HAVING EVERYTHING TOGETHER AND MAKING IT RELATIVELY EASY ON US.
DO WE HAVE ANY NEW BUSINESS? I DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING REALLY ADDITIONAL TO SHARE.
UM, OF COURSE WE, I'M PRETTY CERTAIN THE BOARD'S AWARE THERE'S THE NEXT, UH, HEARING FOR OCTOBER 23RD AND WE'LL BE DISCUSSING THE OTHER ITEM THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY CONTINUED THAT WAS REGARDING THE, UH, FIRE FLAG AT BAY.
SO IF ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THAT I RECEIVE COMES UP
[00:25:01]
BETWEEN NOW AND THEN, I'LL MAKE SURE TO TRY TO GET THAT TO YOU ALL AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.WILL THIS DECISION TONIGHT BE ALSO ON THE AGENDA IN OCTOBER? I'M GONNA ATTEMPT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S INCLUDED.
JUST SO THAT WE CAN TRY TO WRAP UP ALL OF ALL OF THEM TOGETHER.
DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN? MOTION TO ADJOURN.
SHOULD WE HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN? HOW ABOUT A SECOND? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.
ANY OPPOSED? OR ADJOURN? THANK.
