UM, THANK YOU FOR PRINTING THAT.
I WAS GONNA ASK YOU, UH, JUST MOVING ON, ON
[IV. PRESENTATION]
OUR AGENDA TO, UH, OUR PRESENTATION FROM, UH, WASHINGTON MUSE PROJECT.GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR, BOARD MEMBER OF STAFF.
MY NAME IS JACOB AMIR FROM ZAN AND STEIN METZ.
I'M APPEARING FOR THE APPLICANT, UH, RTP WASHINGTON.
AND HERE WITH ME IS ALEX CHANG AND NEIL DELUCA, THE OWNER'S REPRESENTATIVES.
KAREN BECK FROM CGA STUDIO ARCHITECTS AND RICHARD QUIGLEY OF IQ LANDMARK ARCHITECTS.
I'M, I'M NOT GONNA SPEND TOO MUCH TIME.
I KNOW YOU WERE EXECUTIVE SESSION.
I KNOW YOU HAVE A LOT ON YOUR AGENDA AFTER US, AND YOU'RE PROBABLY FAMILIAR WITH THIS AND REVIEWED ALL THE MATERIAL, SO I APPRECIATE IT.
I JUST WANT TO BEGIN BY JUST LOOKING AT THE COMP PLAN THAT WAS PASSED LAST YEAR AND JUST NOTING THAT THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IS REALLY CONSISTENT WITH THE FORWARD THINKING PERSPECTIVE OF THE COMP PLAN.
ONCE DEVELOPED, THIS, THIS PROJECT, THE VILLAGE WILL BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THIS PROJECT AT THE MUSE AS REALLY A SHINING EXAMPLE OF WHAT THE COMP PLAN IS IN ACTION, RIGHT.
PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO WALK BY AND GO, THIS IS A MODEL OF WHAT THE VILLAGE INTENDED BY THE COMP PLAN.
UM, KAREN WILL GO THROUGH SOME OF THE PROJECT SCOPE.
RICHARD IS GONNA HANDLE SOME OF THE LANDSCAPING AND THE UNIQUE POCKET GARDEN THAT WE'RE PROPOSING.
AND BASICALLY WHAT WE, WHAT WE'RE ASKING TO ENGAGE YOUR BOARD WITH IS AN EASEMENT AGREEMENT THAT WOULD BASICALLY ALLOW THE PUBLIC TO UTILIZE THE MUSE FROM WASHINGTON ACCESSING TO ZINZER, UH, THE PARKING LOT AND THEN THE METRO NORTH WITH A POCKET GARDEN AND NEW STAIRWELL WITH AN EASEMENT BETWEEN THE OWNER AND THE, UM, AND THE DEVELOPER.
UM, AND JUST SOME ELEMENTS OF THAT MUSE CONFIGURATION, WHICH I THINK ARE WORTH MENTIONING.
THERE'LL BE PUBLIC ACCESS DURING THE DAYTIME, SO WE'LL BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, BUT IT WILL STILL ALLOW A COMMUNITY FEEL FOR THE RESIDENTS.
IT WILL HAVE A LOCKING ME MECHANISM AT AT NIGHT.
IT'LL BE OPEN ON THE WEEKDAYS, WEEKENDS AS WELL.
UM, THERE WILL BE A LOCK ME MECHANISM IN SAFETY, UM, WITH A BATTERY BACKUP SYSTEM OR AN EMERGENCY GENERATOR WITH THE MECHANICAL OVERRIDE.
IT'LL BE INTEGRATED INTO THE BUILDING'S FIRE ALARM SYSTEM.
[00:05:01]
THE PLANS INCLUDING LIGHT.THE PLANS INCLUDE LIGHTING CONTROL.
UM, TO, TO, TO LIGHT UP, I JUST WANNA POINT TO SOME ELEMENTS OF THE COMP PLAN AND THEN LOOK AT A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT MAYBE YOUR BOARD MAY BE INTERESTED IN AND THEN TURN IT OVER TO KAREN AND TO RICHARD.
UM, CONSISTENT WITH THE COMP PLAN, IT ALLOWS FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE EXISTING BUILDING.
SO WE'RE GONNA DEMOLISH THE TWO BUILDINGS, CREATE ONE BUILDING WITH THREE SECTIONS, WEST SOUTHEAST SECTION, UM, 20 RESIDENTIAL UNITS, THREE OR AFFORDABLE UNITS, ONE RETAIL, UH, STORE IN THE GROUND FLOOR.
THE ZENER PARKING LOT WOULD BE USED AND WOULD DESIGNATED AS AN ALTERNATIVE.
PLAZA PROVIDES BETTER CIRCULATION OF LANDSCAPING AND TREES.
I THINK RICHARD WILL FOCUS ON THAT.
UM, IT UTILIZES THE, THE NOW UNDERUTILIZED SPACE, BUT KEEPS TO THE FIELD.
RIGHT? AND IT WILL ALSO ALLOW RESIDENTS TO UTILIZE THE COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR ON WAR BURDEN.
SO IT PROVIDES REALLY GOOD, UM, BENEFITS TO THE COMMERCIAL COMMUNITY WHILE KEEPING THE RESIDENTIAL FIELD OFF OF OFF OF WAR BURDEN.
AND THEN THE POLLIER GARDEN, WHICH KAREN AND AND RICHARD TALK ABOUT, IT ENHANCES COMMUNITY RECREATION.
IT'S VISUALLY APPEALING AND IT REALLY PROVIDES A NICE CONNECTION TO THE, TO THE METRO NORTH STATION.
UM, AND JUST SOME THINGS THAT THE APPLICANT IS GONNA LOOK FOR IN TERMS OF ENGAGEMENT WITH YOUR BOARD IN THE VILLAGE.
THE APPLICANT WOULD CONSTRUCT AND MAINTAIN ALL THE IMPROVEMENTS.
UM, THE, AS I SAID, THE EASTMAN AGREEMENT WILL ENABLE USE OF THE MUSE, UM, FROM WASHINGTON TO THE NEW STAIRS DOWN TO THE ZINZER PARKING LOT.
UM, THE APPLICANT CAN WORK WITH THE VILLAGE IN TERMS OF RELOCATING THE DONATION BINS AND, UM, AND DEALING WITH THE FARMER'S MARKET ON THE WEEKENDS.
STA UM, SIGNAGE WILL BE POSTED SO THAT THE PUBLIC SEES WHEN THE MUSE IS OPEN DURING THE DAYTIME AND WHEN IT MAY BE CLOSED AT NIGHT.
AND, UM, AND OF COURSE, UM, WHILE WE ENGAGE WITH YOUR BOARD, UH, WE ARE PROCEEDING WITH THE PLANNING BOARD FOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL.
AND IF YOUR BOARD ENTERTAINS AN EASEMENT AGREEMENT FOR THAT, UH, POCKET GARDEN AND IN USE, THAT WOULD BE PART OF A CONDITIONAL SITE PLAN APPROVAL THAT WE COULD HAVE AN EASEMENT AGREEMENT THE VILLAGE ATTORNEY WILL REVIEW AND IF YOUR BOARD WILL BE SATISFIED WITH IT.
SO WE'D LIKE TO WORK, UM, CONCURRENTLY WITH YOUR BOARD AND WITH THE PLANNING BOARD TO CONTINUE WITH SITE PLAN APPROVAL.
JUST TO SORT OF FRAME THIS, THIS HAS BEEN ABOUT A THREE YEAR OR SO PROCESS.
IT WENT THROUGH AN EXHAUSTIVE REVIEW OF THE PLANNING BOARD IN TERMS OF VIEW PRESERVATION AND NEGATIVE DECLARATION.
IT RECEIVED SIX VARIANCES NEEDED FROM THE ZONING BOARD.
SO IT'S, IT'S GONE THROUGH A LOT OF WORK, A LOT OF EYES, A LOT OF REVIEW, AND WE'RE REALLY HAPPY WHERE WE ARE.
UM, AND LET ME TURN IT OVER TO KAREN TO TAKE CARE OF A LITTLE BIT OF THE, UM, SCOPE.
AND I'M NOT OBVIOUSLY HERE TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.
HEY, MIND JUST INTRODUCING YOURSELF.
UM, MY NAME IS KAREN BECK WITH CGA STUDIO.
UM, CHRISTINA GRIFFIN JOINS US AS WELL AS THE REST OF THE TEAM.
UM, I WILL EXPLAIN, UH, A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PROJECT WASHINGTON MUSE AND THE PROPOSED CONNECTION OF WASHINGTON MUSE TO THE ZINZER LOTS.
UH, THIS VIEW ON THE SCREEN IS A RENDERING, UH, VIEW OF THE PROJECT FROM WASHINGTON AVENUE.
AS YOU COULD SEE, THE PROJECT IS, UM, A, UM, COMBINATION OF MULTI-STORY RESIDENTIAL SPACES, A PROPOSED CAFE AT THE CORNER OVER HERE, AND THEN, UM, THE ENTRY TO A GARAGE THAT, UH, COMBINES THE DEVELOPMENT IS AT THE END OF WASHINGTON AVENUE OVER HERE.
AND, UM, THE OPENING, UH, BETWEEN THE CAFE AND THE PROPERTY, UH, LINE IS THE PEDESTRIAN ENTRY TO WHAT WE'RE CALLING THE MUSE.
THE MUSE IS A COURT THAT WEAVES BETWEEN BLOCKS OF, UH, TWO STORY RESIDENTIAL UNITS, AND IT'S REALLY, UH, IMPORTANT TO THE CORE OF THE PROJECT AS IT PRIORITIZES THE PEDESTRIAN EXPERIENCE OF THE PROJECT, UH, OVER VEHICULAR REQUIREMENTS.
AND WE WILL GO INTO THAT IN MORE DETAIL.
UH, THE PROJECT SITE IS LOCATED ON WASHINGTON AVENUE, UH, MID BLOCK BETWEEN WAR BURTON AND SOUTH SIDE.
UH, IT IS CURRENTLY TWO LOTS THAT WE ARE PROPOSING TO COMBINE INTO A SINGLE LOT.
AND THE PROJECT, UH, SITE GOES PRETTY FAR NORTH AND BETWEEN THE EDGE OF THE SITE AND THE, UM, ZINZER LOT IS A VILLAGE OWNED STEEP SLOPE AREA.
AND THAT IS WHERE WE ARE PROPOSING TO PUT A STAIR CONNECTING THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT TO THE ZINZER LOT.
UH, THIS IS A PRETTY VIBRANT AREA OF HASTINGS
[00:10:01]
WITH A MIX OF RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL, AND IT HAS A PEDESTRIAN FIELD TO IT, WHICH REALLY TIES INTO THE ETHOS OF OUR PROJECT.THESE ARE PHOTOS OF THE EXISTING CONDITIONS OF THIS, OF THE, UH, LOTS.
THERE IS EXISTING TWO STORY 17 WASHINGTON AND ONE STORY, UH, NINE DASH 15.
THESE BUILDINGS CONTAIN A TOTAL OF SIX RESIDENTIAL UNITS.
UH, THE BUILDINGS ARE IN POOR CONDITION, UH, IN NEED OF UPGRADE.
AND THE, UM, THE PHOTOS ON THE BOTTOM SHOW THAT A STEEP SLOPE AREA THAT IS TO THE NORTH OF THE SITE THAT IS BETWEEN, ONCE AGAIN, THE ZINZER LOT AND THE NORTH EDGE OF THE PROPERTY.
AND THAT IS WHERE WE PROPOSE TO PUT A, UH, PUBLIC STAIR TO ALLOW CONNECTION OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT TO THE ZINZER LOT, WHICH WOULD PROMOTE THE USE OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AND ENABLE EASE OF ACCESS TO THE ACTIVITIES HAPPENING IN THE Z LOT.
AND, UM, IQ WILL SPEAK ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE, THE, UH, YOU KNOW, STEEP SLOPE IN THE TREES LATER ON.
LOOKING AT THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IN THIS AERIAL VIEW HERE, YOU COULD SEE ONCE AGAIN THE ENTRY TO THE GARAGE OFF OF WASHINGTON AVENUE.
THIS IS ONE BUILDING COM ALL CONNECTED AT THE GARAGE LEVEL, BUT UP AT THE MUSE LEVEL, WHICH IS THE FIRST FLOOR, IT IS THREE BLOCKS OF UNITS, AND THE MUSE WEAVES ITS WAY BETWEEN THE UNITS.
SO THE MUSE IS REALLY A, A COURTYARD THAT IS BETWEEN THESE BLOCKS OF UNITS.
SO THE SOUTH UNITS CONTAIN, UH, FOUR MULTI-STORY UNITS, ONE SINGLE STORY UNITS, AND THE CAFE THAT WE MENTIONED.
UH, THE EAST UNITS CONTAIN SIX MULTI-STORY UNITS AND ONE SINGLE STORY UNIT.
AND THE WEST UNITS CONTAIN SEVEN MULTI-STORY UNITS AND ONE UNIT, ONE, ONE SINGLE STORY UNIT, WHICH BRINGS US TO OUR TOTAL OF 20 PROPOSED UNITS, 18, TWO BEDROOMS TO ONE BEDROOM, THREE OF WHICH ARE PROPOSED TO BE AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS, 20 PARKING SPACES, ONE PER UNIT, AND THE PROPOSED CAFE.
AND, UH, MAY, MAY I JUST ASK A QUESTION BASED ON THIS IMAGE, ON THESE TWO IMAGES, I, I AM NOT SEEING A SIDEWALK.
ARE YOU ELIMINATING THE SIDEWALK? AND THAT'S WHAT THE MUSE IS? NO, NO, NO, NO.
THE, UH, SO THIS IS A, A MASSING VIEW.
IT'S NOT AN EXACT RENDERING OF THE, OF THE AREA VIEW, BUT THE SIDEWALK WOULD REMAIN ALONG WASHINGTON AVENUE, AND THE SIDEWALK WOULD LEAD INTO THIS ENTRY TO THE MUSE OVER HERE.
IT'S NOT A YES, IT'S NOT GONNA RENDERED IN THAT SENSE, BUT THANK YOU.
UM, SO THIS IS A, UH, PLANNED VIEW, UH, NEAR THE SIDEWALK REMAINS MORE PRECISELY, UM, OF THE SITE AT THE MUSE LEVEL.
AND, UH, JUST TO BE CLEAR, THE RED DASH LINE OR THE BOUNDARIES OF OUR PROPERTY.
UM, SO WHEN WE DISCUSSED THE PROPERTY, UH, BEING ABUTTING A THE VILLAGE OWNED LAND, THIS IS THE VILLAGE OWNED.
THIS IS A PIECE OF THE VILLAGE OWNED LAND OVER HERE.
AND THEN THIS IS THE ZINZER, UH, PARKING LOT BACK HERE.
UM, SO THE MUSE, AS YOU COULD SEE NOW, WEAVES ITS WAY BETWEEN THE CAFE, UM, THE BLOCKS OF RESIDENTIAL UNITS THAT ARE REPRESENTED IN BLUE.
AND, UM, AS YOU ENTER, UH, THE MUSE OFF OF WASHINGTON AVENUE, YOU GO THROUGH, UH, A, A FIRST ENTRY GATE OVER HERE IN THE MUSE ENTRY.
UM, IT LEADS YOU INTO THE MUSE AND OFF OF WHICH ARE ALL OF THE RESIDENTIAL, UH, ENTRIES AS WELL AS, UH, FOUNTAIN PLANTERS.
AND DOWN, UH, AT THE NORTH END OF THE MUSE IS A STAIR TO, UH, THE GARAGE AND LOWER LEVEL BELOW.
THERE'S A SECOND STAIR AT THE FRONT OVER HERE WHEN YOU HAD ENTERED, UM, THIS SECOND, THIS FIR, THIS STAIR AT THE NORTH END LEADS TO A SECOND GATE, WHICH IS, UH, THE CONNECTION TO THE PROPOSED STAIR ON THE VILLAGE OWNED LAND BACK IN THE, ON THE NORTH END OF THE SITE.
AND AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE ARE DETAILED, UM, OPERATIONAL PARAMETERS THAT WE'VE GONE THROUGH WITH, UH, THE PLANNING BOARD AND, UH, THE HASTINGS FIRE DEPARTMENT, AS WELL AS HASTINGS BUILDING INSPECTOR.
UM, SINCE WE, UH, WANT TO ENSURE, YOU KNOW, SAFETY FOR THE PUBLIC AND FOR THE RESIDENTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT, WE ARE PROPOSING, SO TO SPEAK, A, YOU KNOW, SEMI-PUBLIC SPACE.
AND SO WE WANT TO BE SURE THAT WE'RE REVIEWING ALL OF THE CRITICAL PARAMETERS WITH, UH, BOTH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THE PLANNING BOARD IN THAT SENSE.
AND AS JACOB MENTIONED, THERE WILL BE PUBLIC ACCESS HOURS TO THE MUSE THAT WILL BE DEFINED AS THE DAYLIGHT AND SHOULDER HOURS.
UM, SIGNAGE WILL BE POSTED ADJACENT TO EACH GATE TO INFORM THE PUBLIC OF THESE HOURS.
AND SO, ONCE AGAIN, THE GATES ARE, THERE'S A GATE OVER HERE AT THE MUSE LEVEL, AND THEN THERE IS A SECOND GATE AT THE TOP OF THE PROPOSED, UH, CONNECTING STAIR AT THE GARAGE LEVEL.
UM, AND WE'VE GONE THROUGH QUITE MINUTE DETAILS WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IN TERMS OF A LOCATION OF A NOX BOX WITH KEYS TO ACCESS ALL THE UNITS IN THE GATES LOCATION OF
[00:15:01]
SIAMESE CONNECTIONS THAT ARE TIED TO HYDRANTS, UH, WITHIN THE MUSE.UM, AND EVEN OUR STAIR LIGHT, OUR, OUR SITE LINING PLANS SUPPORTS, UM, THE OPERATIONAL PARAMETERS THAT WE'VE PROPOSED, BEARING IN MIND CONCERNS ABOUT LIGHT POLLUTION AND ALSO MAINTAINING, UM, YOU KNOW, NEIGHBORHOOD AND RESIDENT SECURITY.
SO THE MUSE, UH, INTERIOR LIGHTING WILL REMAIN ON, UH, AFTER PUBLIC ACCESS HOURS AND CONVERSE AND BE TIED TO A PHOTO CELL TO LIMIT LIGHT POLLUTION.
AND CONVERSELY, THE STERILE LIGHTING WILL, UH, NOT BE ON AFTER PUBLIC ACCESS HOURS, SO TO, UH, LIMIT LIGHT POLLUTION AND, YOU KNOW, CLEARLY DEFINE ACCESS HOURS IN THAT SENSE.
THIS IS A VIEW, UM, FROM WITHIN THE MUSE.
SO YOU HAVE JUST COME IN THROUGH THIS ENTRY GATE OVER HERE, AND YOU ARE STANDING, UH, IN THE CORNER OF THE MUSE LOOKING AT THE ENTRY AND LOOKING DOWN TO THAT STAIR AT THE NORTH END THAT WE WERE DISCUSSING.
UM, NEXT TO THE ENTRY GATE IS A DOOR TO THAT, TO THE FIRST STAIR DOWN TO THE GARAGE LEVEL, AS WELL AS A DOOR TO THE MAIL ROOM.
UM, DOWN THE MUSE IS A DECORATIVE FOUNTAIN PLANTERS TO INTRODUCE SOME GREENERY OPPORTUNITIES FOR EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND SEEDING.
AND THEN AT THE END OF THE MUSE IS AN OPEN STAIRWAY THAT CONNECTS THE MUSE LEVEL TO THE GARAGE LEVEL.
AND THEN AT THE GARAGE LEVEL IS ANOTHER GATE CONNECTING TO THE, UH, PROPOSED, UH, STAIR ON VILLAGE OWNED LAND.
UH, THIS VIEW OF THE MUSE ALSO SHOWS OUR VISION FOR THE MUSE AS A VIBRANT OUTDOOR SPACE.
UH, IT, WE SEE THE MUSE AS SERVING TO CONNECT THE RESIDENTS, CREATING A SENSE OF COMMUNITY AND ALSO SERVING THE PUBLIC DURING PUBLIC ACCESS HOURS, UH, TO CREATE THIS CONNECTION FROM WASHINGTON AVENUE TO THE ZINZER LOT, PROMOTING THE USE OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AND EASY ACCESS, UM, TO THE ACTIVITIES IN THE ZINZER LOTS.
THIS VIEW HERE IS AN ELEVATION AS IF YOU WERE STANDING, UM, AT THE ZINZER LOT.
UH, THE ZINZER LOT FOR REFERENCE IS 17 FEET BELOW THE GARAGE LEVEL OF THE PROJECT.
AND, UM, OVER HERE ON THE RIGHT, ON THE WEST UNITS ON THE LEFT OR THE EAST UNITS AND IN THE CENTER IS THAT STAIR THAT WE WERE LOOKING THAT, YOU KNOW, UH, ROOFED STAIR THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT AT THE END OF THE RENDERING.
SO ONCE AGAIN, THIS STAIR ALLOWS, UH, RESIDENTS AND THE PUBLIC DURING PUBLIC ACCESS HOURS TO GO DOWN TO THE GARAGE LEVEL WHERE THEY CAN GO THROUGH, UH, A GATE AND ACCESS THE CONNECTING STAIR THAT GOES ON, ON VILLAGE OWNED LAND
AND SO THE IN, YOU KNOW, SUMMARY, THE MUSE AND THE CONNECTING STA ARE KEY TO THE DEVELOPMENTS ASPIRATIONS TO, UH, CREATE TRANSIT ORIENTED HOUSING.
AND WE ARE EXCITED FOR THIS VISION FOR WASHINGTON AVENUE BY, YOU KNOW, FOR THIS, THE POSSIBILITY FOR THIS PROPOSAL TO STRENGTHEN THE EXISTING SENSE OF COMMUNITY BY CREATING THIS CONNECTION BETWEEN WASHINGTON AVENUE AND ZINZER.
AND RICHARD WILL TAKE YOU THROUGH THE DETAILS OF THE PLANTING OF THE PROPOSAL.
THIS, AND THEN YOUR NEXT IMAGE.
MR. MAYOR, MEMBER OF THE BOARD.
UH, MY NAME IS RICHARD QUIGLEY.
UM, I'M A LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT, UM, WITH IQ LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS, UM, HERE IN WESTCHESTER.
UM, I'M GONNA MAKE THIS BRIEF.
UNFORTUNATELY, OUR ARBORIST WAS NOT ABLE TO COME HERE, BUT HE DID A VERY COMPREHENSIVE, UM, AND DETAILED, UM, ANALYSIS OF THE EXISTING TREES.
SO ON THE NORTHERN SLOPE THAT WE'RE ALL TALKING ABOUT.
UM, THE TREES ARE HAZARDOUS, THEY'RE INVASIVE, AND THEY'RE ALL IN POOR CONDITION.
AND HIS OPINION AND CONCLUSION, EXCEPT FOR THE LARGE TREE THAT IS SHOWN ON THE PLAN, WHICH IS SLIGHTLY OFF THE PLAN THAT'S UP THERE IS A, A LARGE, THAT'S IT.
THAT LARGE TREE THERE IS A 30 INCH, UM, TREE, WHICH IS A SPECIMEN.
UH, WE, WE'VE GONE THROUGH SEVERAL WAYS OF INTEGRATING THIS, THIS WALKWAY IN WITHOUT DAMAGING THE ROOT SYSTEM OF THIS.
IT'S A TULIP POPLAR, AND THE ARBORIST HAD SAID IT'S PROBABLY 75 PLUS YEARS OLD.
SO OUR INTENTION IS, IS THAT ALL OF THE OTHER PLANTINGS ON THERE THAT I HAD JUST MENTIONED THAT ARE HAZARDOUS AND BAD CONDITION, THEY'RE UPROOTING AND ALL.
YOU CAN SEE WHERE THEY, WE, THEY'VE BEEN COMPROMISED QUITE A BIT OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS.
UM, THAT TREE IS THE ONE TREE THAT'S GONNA BE SAVED THEN IN THE CENTER.
UM, THAT IS WHERE THE STAIRS PROPOSED.
UM, AND THAT'S GOING TO BE, UM, IF I CAN GET THAT OTHER, UH,
[00:20:01]
IMAGE UP.SO THE STAIR CONNECTION, UH, AND POLLINATOR GARDEN, UM, IS, IS SOMETHING THAT WE FELT VERY STRONG ABOUT CREATING A SPACE THAT PEOPLE WALK THROUGH AND CAN ENJOY.
AND, UM, EVEN IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR HASTINGS, POLLINATOR GARDENS ARE REALLY ENCOURAGED.
SO WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING HERE IS, UH, OUR PLANT MATERIAL THAT ARE, ARE ATTRACTIVE TO BEES AND OTHER POLLINATING INSECTS, UM, AS WELL AS NATIVE SHRUBS AND NATIVE TREES.
UM, YOU CAN SEE THE CROSS SECTION FROM THE UPPER AREA DOWN TO THE LOWER AREA.
AND THEN WE'RE GONNA SHOW YOU A RENDERING THAT WE HAD PREPARED TO DO IT.
SO THIS CAN HELP YOU OUT A LOT MORE RATHER THAN JUST A CROSS SECTION.
THIS SHOWS THE STAIRS THAT WE'RE PROPOSING AND THE POLLINATING PLANTS TO BOTH SIDES OF THE STAIR.
AND THEN THE REMAINING PART OF THE SLOPE IS A STEEPED SLOPED STABILIZATION MIX, WHICH IS, IS PROVIDED BY A, UM, ONE OF THE LARGEST WHOLESALE SEED AND NATIVE PLANT PLACES, HAPPENS TO BE IN NEW JERSEY, UM, WHICH IS GOING TO BE A STABILIZING, UH, PLANT THAT WILL COVER THE REST OF THE SLOPE.
SO THE SLOPE WILL BE GRADED OUT, IT'LL BE JU MESH THAT'LL BE PUT DOWN, AND THEN THE SEED MIX WILL BE SPREAD ACCORDINGLY.
UM, SO, UH, THAT'S, UH, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO.
IT'S, IT'S, UH, SOMETHING I THINK THAT WILL REALLY BENEFIT, UM, THE PEOPLE OF HASTINGS.
THEY'LL ENJOY ALL THE SEASONS, UH, OF GOING THROUGH THIS POLLINATOR GARDEN AND ALSO DOING SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY, UH, IN TERMS OF ATTRACTING POLLINATORS, WHICH WE'RE TRYING TO, TO DO ALL THE TIME ON ALL OUR PROJECTS NOW.
UH, POLLINATOR IS, IS, IS A REAL IMPORTANT PART OF THE LANDSCAPE VOCABULARY.
UM, THAT'S, UH, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT IN TERMS OF WHAT THE PROPOSAL FOR THE STAIRS ARE.
UM, WELL, I MEAN, I, FROM WHAT I'M SEEING NOW, THIS LOOKS TO BE POURED CONCRETE.
UM, HAVE, HAS ANYBODY CONSIDERED A WOOD STRUCTURE SOMETHING THAT, UM, I, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WOULD BE THAT SUITED FOR THIS SITUATION.
UM, AND, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE DEALING WITH STRUCTURAL ISSUES TOO, AND CORRECT.
SO, UH, I THINK IT'S THE RIGHT MATERIAL TO USE.
UM, AND AS YOU KNOW, THERE ARE OTHER STAIRWAYS THAT COME DOWN FROM THE UPPER PART OF THE VILLAGE DOWN THAT ARE ALSO IN CONCRETE.
THE VOCABULARY'S ALREADY THERE.
MANY OF THE STAIRCASES IN THE VILLAGE ARE ACTUALLY MADE OF, UH, STONE, YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT TYPES OF STONE.
I MEAN, I, IF IF YOU JUST SUGGESTION OF A MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT MORE NATURAL LOOKING, I THINK, I THINK IT'S A VERY GOOD SUGGESTION AND, YOU KNOW, WE'LL, WE'LL CONSIDER IT FOR SURE.
SO THE QUESTION I WOULD HAVE ABOUT THE STAIR IS THAT IT'S REPLACING, UM, PLANTING AND GROUND AND, UH, BASICALLY PERVIOUS MATERIAL, REPLACING THAT WITH IMPERVIOUS MATERIAL, WHICH IN MY MIND WOULD THEN INCREASE THE RUNOFF RAIN, RAINWATER, STORMWATER RUNOFF DOWN THE STAIRS ONTO THE PARKING LOT WITHOUT ANY, ANYTHING IN THE PLAN.
WELL, UM, OUR CIVIL ENGINEERS WILL BE ENGINEERING THE ENTIRE PROJECT, AND WE'LL BE CONSIDERING THAT AS WELL IN TERMS OF, UH, WATER TREATMENT AND, AND STORAGE.
IT'S NOT A VERY, YOU KNOW, IT MIGHT MIGHT LOOK LARGER THAN IT IS, BUT IT'S, IT'S ONLY FIVE FEET WIDE.
PLUS THE TWO CHEEK WALLS ON EACH SIDE WOULD BE ABOUT SEVEN FEET.
AND, UH, I'M SURE WE COULD CAPTURE THAT WATER AND, AND, UH, MANAGE IT PROPERLY.
YEAH, THAT'S, I WOULD LIKE TO DEFINITELY SEE A PLAN FOR, I MEAN, IT, IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE FOR A DRAIN, THEN YOU'D HAVE TO GET IT TO GO SOMEWHERE, BUT IT MIGHT BE A CATCH BASIN OR SOME SORT OF RETAINAGE SYSTEM OR DETAILED.
WE ALSO HAVE TO LOOK AT THE ZINZER PARKING LOT, WHERE THE POINT OF DISCHARGE IS AND WHERE WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO PICK IT UP.
SO THE IN THE LOT ITSELF, YES, THE PLANNING BOARD IS GONNA REVIEW, YOU KNOW, AND APPROVE ANY FINAL PLAN.
THE VILLAGE ENGINEER WILL ALSO, UM, REVIEW WHAT HE'S ALREADY BEEN REVIEWING THEIR PLANS, AND THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO PROVIDE A STORM ORDER MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THIS AS WELL, THAT THE ENGINEER
[00:25:01]
WILL REVIEW.IT'S JUST THAT THERE, WITH ALL THIS PAPERWORK, I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT TO SEE, TO SEE A CATCH BASIN OR SOME SOMETHING IN THE PLAN RIGHT NOW.
I NEED CLARITY ON THE LIGHTING.
SO BASED ON WHAT I UNDERSTOOD EACH NIGHT AT THE DESIGNATED TIME, THE GATE WILL LOCK, RIGHT? THE GATE WILL BE LOCKED, AND THEN ONLY RESIDENTS WOULD HAVE ACCESS.
AND THAT'S AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRWELL.
AND IT'S AT THE STOP, IT'S AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRCASE AND AT TWO, TWO GATES, BUT YES, UM, THERE'S RIGHT EXACTLY BOTH AT THE TOP, THIS STAIRCASE HERE AT THE TOP OF THE, OF THE STAIR.
AND THERE WAS, I BELIEVE YOU SAID THAT THEN THEY WILL BE UNLIT DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
SO, SO WE, WE ACTUALLY, WE INTERNALLY DISCUSSED THIS QUITE A BIT.
AND SO, UM, THE STAIR IS SHOWN, THE GATE IS SHOWN IN PLAN OVER HERE, UM, AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS, SO THAT'S CORRECT.
AND, UM, THERE ARE TWO, UH, ZONES OF EXTERIOR LIGHTING.
THERE'S EXTERIOR LIGHTING WITHIN THE MUSE ITSELF, SO IN THE COURTYARD BETWEEN THE BUILDINGS MM-HMM
THAT AT NIGHT, I GUESS WOULD BETWE BE BETWEEN THOSE TWO LOCKED GATES.
AND THAT LIGHTING WOULD REMAIN ON AT NIGHT BECAUSE, UM, THOSE GATES ARE UNLOCKED FROM THE INSIDE.
SO IF I'M A RESIDENT LIVING THERE, I CAN ACTUALLY HAVE NOT LOCKED IN.
I CAN EXIT THE MUSE AND I COULD DO SO SAFELY WITH LIGHTS.
UM, AND THEN, UM, YOU KNOW, THE HOURS OF THE, UH, MUSE WOULD BE POSTED ON A SIGN AT THE BASE WOULD BE POSTED AS SIGN BY THAT FIRST ENTRY GATE ON OFF OF WASHINGTON, AND ALSO BE POSTED AT A SIGN AT THE ENTRY TO THIS CONNECTING STAIR.
AND IN ORDER TO DISSUADE SOMEONE FROM GOING UP THE STAIRS, NOT READING THE SIGN, GOING UP THE STAIRS AND FINDING THAT THE GATE IS LOCKED, WE'VE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IT MADE SENSE TO NOT HAVE THE STAIR BE LIT AFTER PUBLIC ACCESS HOURS.
UM, BUT DOES THAT MEAN RESIDENTS ARE RETURNING HOME AND CLIMBING UNLIT STAIRS TO THEN GAIN ACCESS TO THEM? SO WE, THIS IS WHY WE'VE, YOU KNOW, GONE BACK AND FORTH WITH IT AND WE'VE DECIDED WE'VE, WE INTERNALLY FELT LIKE THE, THE DOWNSIDE OF LINING IT AT NIGHT WAS THAT, UM, SOME, SOMEONE FROM THE PUBLIC WOULD NOT READ THE SIGN AND WOULD GO UP THE STAIRS AND FIND THEMSELVES AT A LOCKED GATE THAT IS ALSO PROXIMATE TO RESIDENTS HOMES AND JUST, YOU KNOW, BE THERE, COULD BE CONFUSED OR WHATNOT.
UM, AND THAT RESIDENTS WHO LIVE THERE WILL KNOW THAT THE STA THAT THE FIRST OF ALL, THE STAIR NOT BEING LIT, THERE IS AMBIENT LIGHT FROM THE PARKING LOT, IT'S ADJACENT TO THE ZINZER LOT.
UM, AND WE CAN STUDY THAT MORE CLOSELY TO SEE THAT IT WOULD LIGHT THE STAIRS SUFFICIENTLY FOR SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THE CONDITIONS TO, UH, USE THE STAIR.
AND THAT RESIDENTS AFTER DARK WOULD, YOU KNOW, USE THE LIGHT ON THEIR CELL PHONE, WOULD KNOW THAT IT'S LESS LIT OR WOULD NOT USE THE STAIR AFTERWARDS.
BUT IT IS, WE, YOU KNOW, IT WAS HARD TO FIND A COMPROMISE THAT MADE SENSE FOR THAT SITUATION.
SO L THREE SHOWS STEP LIGHTS, BUT THAT'S, YES.
I WAS JUST GONNA SAY, UM, THE, THE STAIRS WILL BE, WILL BE LIT WITH STEP LIGHTS ON THE RISERS OF THE STEPS.
EVERY ONE OF THEM WILL HAVE TWO.
UM, IN THOSE TWO LITTLE AREAS WHERE BENCHES ARE, THERE'LL BE WALL LIGHTS.
SO THERE'LL BE ADEQUATE LIGHTING, UM, FOR THE, SO THERE'S LIGHTING FOR SAFETY THAT PEOPLE CAN SEE WHERE THE STEPS ARE AND THAT THEY'RE ABLE TO DETERMINE AND, AND KEEPING DARK SKY COMPLIANT AS WELL.
WHAT, WHAT WAS THE IMPETUS FOR THE PUBLIC ACCESS? LIKE, WAS THERE ONE OF THE PLANNING BOARD MEETINGS OR SOMETHING? LIKE WHERE, WHERE DID THAT COME FROM? UM, NO, THERE, THERE, I'M JUST WONDERING, THIS WAS A CORE CONCEPT TO THE PROJECT.
I'LL CREDIT OUR CLIENT'S VISION FOR THE PROJECT, REALLY, THAT THIS LOCATION IS A PRIME SPOT FOR A, A CONNECTION TO, UM, YOU KNOW, THE MUNICIPAL LOT AND TO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION.
AND THAT IT WOULD BE, UM, AN AMENITY FOR THE RESIDENTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND AN AMENITY FOR THE PUBLIC.
UM, THAT WAS, YOU KNOW, IT WASN'T, IT WASN'T A REQUIREMENT, IT WAS PART OF THE CORE VISION OF THE PROJECT.
I GUESS I, I WOULD DEFER TO THE PLANNING BOARD, BUT I AGREE WITH TRUSTEE, UM, SUNBURG THAT, THAT HAVING THE LIGHTS OFF, BUT NOT HAVING THE GATE AT THE BOTTOM DOES KIND OF, YOU'RE KIND OF CREATING SOME HAZARDS IT SEEMS TO ME.
UM, I MEAN, WE HAVE OTHER POCKET PARKS IN THE VILLAGE THAT WE HAVE GATES ON THAT WE CLOSE, UM, AT NIGHT.
SO IT WOULD SEEM TO ME THAT, I MEAN, LOOK, I THINK IT'S A NICE, THE WHOLE THING IS A NICE IDEA.
I JUST FEEL LIKE WE'RE QUIBBLING OVER DETAILS RIGHT NOW.
UM, I FEEL LIKE EITHER IT'S A POCKET PARK THAT BEGINS AT THE ZINZER PARKING LOT OR IT'S NOT.
AND RIGHT NOW IF IT'S LIGHTS OFF AND THERE'S, YOU ALMOST HAVE HARBRIDGE AT THE LANDING.
I JUST FEEL LIKE IT'S, IT'S, IT'S A POTENTIAL PROBLEM.
BUT AGAIN, I'M GONNA DEFER TO, SO WE DID TO THE PLANNING BOARD ON THIS ONE,
SO I DO WANT TO, UM, SAY THIS IS NOT A PARK, THIS IS A CONNECTION.
AND THAT'S WHERE THE WHOLE IDEA OF HAVING,
[00:30:01]
I UNDERSTAND, BUT WE'RE ALSO TALKING ABOUT IT AS A POCKET PARK, RIGHT?SO, AND THEN THE OTHER QUESTION I HAVE FOR YOU IS, IS THE, IS THE GROUND COVER, IS THAT A, A FLOWERING, UM, STABILIZATION COVER? OR IS IT GRASSES? WHAT, WHAT IS IT? IT'S NATIVE GRASSES.
UM, THERE'S A GROUP BY THE NAME OF PINELAND NURSERY, ONE OF THE LARGEST WHOLESALE PROVIDER OF NATIVE SHRUBS AND GRASSES.
UM, THESE GRASSES ARE GROWN SPECIFICALLY FOR STEEP STABILIZATION CONDITIONS.
THE WHOLE SLOPE WILL BE DONE WITH JUDE MESH BEFORE WE DO ANYTHING.
AND, UH, IT GERMINATES RATHER QUICKLY.
UM, SO IT REQUIRES VERY LITTLE MAINTENANCE.
THANK YOU, TRUSTEE MARTIN, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NO, I'M OKAY.
UH, WELL WE APPRECIATE YOU ALL COMING THIS EVENING.
I, I MADE NOTE OF THE CONCERNS THAT WERE RAISED AND WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT THE PLANNING BOARD, UM, IS AWARE OF THEM AS THEY REVIEW THE DETAILS OF THE PLAN.
SO JUST FOR PURPOSES, WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE WITH THE PLANNING BOARD ON, ON SITE REVIEW, BUT, AND THEN CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THIS BOARD ON EASEMENT FOR THE PARKING LOT.
IS THIS, AND, AND IT'LL BE ON THE NEXT AGENDA IN AUGUST TO, UH, WE'LL HAVE TO DISCUSS THAT AFTER TONIGHT.
WE WILL BE, UH, ADDING TO OUR NEXT MEETING.
SO WE'LL BE BYPASSING ITEM FIVE 'CAUSE WE WEREN'T ABLE TO COME TO A CONCLUSION ON THAT.
UH, MOVING ON TO APPROVAL OF MINUTES, REGULAR

I THINK THERE'S ALWAYS GONNA BE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT IN THIS PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD.
AND THE NEXT ONE AT THE END OF THE MEETING, IT'S UP TO YOU.
WHAT, HOW YOU WANNA USE YOUR TIME? OH, NO, I HAVE TROUBLE END AT THE PLANNING BOARD.
UH, SO I HOPE YOU'LL, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I FOUND, UH, A LITTLE BIT, UM, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO VOTE ON IT AT SOME POINT.
IF WE'RE GONNA REACH AN AGREEMENT WITH THAT.
SO THIS IS MORE A SUGGESTION AS TO WHAT WASN'T ENTIRELY BROUGHT UP.
AND I FOUND A LITTLE BIT, I DON'T WANNA SAY DECEPTIVE, BUT CONFUSING, WHICH IS THIS DISCUSSION ABOUT THE HOURS THAT IT WOULD ACTUALLY BE OPEN MM-HMM
AND PART OF THE, BEING ABLE TO CONCEIVE OF WHAT THIS IS MEANS KNOWING WHETHER YOU CAN COME BACK ON A TRAIN, UH, YOU KNOW, IN THE WINTER AT SIX O'CLOCK OR SEVEN O'CLOCK OR WHAT TIME, WHAT THE CONCEPTION IS OF HOW THE RESTRICTIONS, UH, TO THE PUBLIC OF THAT, THAT WHOLE
[00:35:01]
SITUATION WOULD BE.SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I WOULD HOPE YOU WOULD GET CLARIFIED.
ALSO, THERE'S NO DISABILITY ACCESS, A DA ACCESS WITH REGARD TO THOSE STAIRS.
AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE, I DUNNO HOW YOU WOULD DO IT, BUT I ALSO DON'T KNOW WHAT THE REQUIREMENTS THEORETICALLY, UH, MIGHT BE, UH, IN PUTTING STAIRS IN THAT SITUATION.
UH, THE, ONE OF THE RESOLUTIONS YOU ARE, UH, VOTING ON IS THE PARKING.
AND I THINK I MAY HAVE MENTIONED THIS TO TRUSTEE ALLGOOD, UM, BUT, AND I DON'T HAVE THE DIAGRAM OF IT, BUT ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND IT, UH, WAS THE, UM, I THINK IT MAY HAVE BEEN THE LAST ONE AT FARGATE JUST, UH, SOUTH OR E SOUTH OF, UM, MOUNT HOPE THAT LITTLE IN ROAD NORTH, SORRY, AM I WRONG OR RIGHT? I THINK IT'S NORTH OF MOUNT HOPE, BUT NORTH OF, NORTH OF MOUNT HOPE.
ARE YOU TALKING IN FROM SCHOOL? NO, EXACTLY.
NO, IT'S, IF IT IS THAT, BUT CAN YOU LOOK ON THE ANYONE CAN LOOK.
OH, SOUTH OF, YEAH, SOUTH, SOUTH OF HOPE ACROSS FROM THE BERKELEY STATE.
IS THAT ONE CONFUSED? I'M NOT SURE.
WELL, HOW THAT FACTORS IN WITH ALL THE OTHER ISSUES, UM, THAT ARE MORE COMMERCIALLY DOWNTOWN LOCATED.
WHERE, WHAT WAS THE REASON THAT THAT IS BEING LIMITED TO THREE HOURS, GIVEN THAT IT WOULD PROBABLY BE, I MEAN, IT'S EITHER RESIDENTIAL OR IT'S GONNA BE PEOPLE RELATED TO THE SCHOOL.
AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE ASSUMPTION IS ABOUT PEOPLE COMING OUT AND, UH, MOVING THEIR CARS FOR THAT.
SO THAT'S, UH, I'M VERY IMPRESSED WITH MYSELF THAT I REMEMBERED THAT WITHOUT WRITING IT DOWN, BUT IT WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, IF YOU HADN'T CONSIDERED IT, I WOULD BE, I WOULD LOOK AT IT, YOU KNOW? MM-HMM
I THINK IT'S CURRENTLY TWO HOURS.
UM, I'M DOUBLE CHECK, BUT IT'S NOT SIGNED.
THERE'S NO SIGNAGE THERE FOR TWO HOURS.
KEEPING IN MIND THAT THE MOUNT HOPE THE RIGHT ACROSS, AS SOMEONE ELSE HAS POINTED OUT, THE MOUNT HOPE ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL FOR YEARS HAS BEEN, UH, DESIGNATED AS A LIMITED PARKING AND NO ONE HAS EVER MM-HMM
I'VE NEVER CALLED FOR A TICKET, UH, THERE.
SO ANYWAY, YEAH, IF YOU CAN HAVE A FURTHER LOOK.
UH, BRIAN ALLEN, 4 87 WARBURTON.
JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE MUSE PROJECT.
UH, IT WAS FOUGHT OVER, UH, FOR THE VIEW PRESERVATION FOR LIKE A YEAR AND A HALF BY THE NEIGHBORS UP ON WARBURTON, INCLUDING MYSELF.
I ALSO REPRESENT MIKE CHAR, WHO OWNS THE CORNER BUILDING.
THOSE ISSUES HAVE BEEN RESOLVED AND MYSELF AT 4 87 IN MY THREE APARTMENT, UH, BUILDING.
AND MIKE CHAR NEXT TO ME WITH, WITH HIS NINE APARTMENTS, WE'RE HAPPY WITH WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING AND WE WERE VERY MUCH IN SUPPORT OF WHAT'S GOING ON.
WE'RE A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT SOME OF THE LIGHTING ISSUES.
WE DON'T WANT LIGHTS OUT THERE AT 9 30, 10 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT.
BUT OTHERWISE WE'RE HAPPY WITH WHAT WE'RE SEEING AND WE WANT THAT PROPERTY TO BE DEVELOPED AND WE THINK IT'S A GOOD THING.
I JUST WANNA LET, LET, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

SECOND.79 OF 26 ADOPTION OF PROPOSED LOCAL LAW D OF 2026, A LOCAL LAW TO AMEND CHAPTER 3 82 VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC 8 2 3 8 2 0 2 82.
I BELIEVE WE'VE COVERED, UM, THIS TOPIC AT, AT PRETTY GREAT LENGTH IN OUR MEETINGS IN OUR PUBLIC FORUM.
MR. MAYOR, JUST TO CLARIFY THE QUESTION THAT CAME UP.
UM, I DID CONFIRM THAT AREA ON FARGATE BY THE ISLAND IS CURRENTLY TWO HOURS MM-HMM
SO AS WE'VE DONE WITH A NUMBER OF OTHER PLACES THROUGH THIS LAW, WE'VE TAKEN A LOT OF THE TWO HOUR, UM, AREAS AND MADE THEM THREE.
UH, WHERE IS OUR, THERE'S NOT A FINAL P HUH? THAT WAS A P ON HERE.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ THE WHOLE THING RIGHT? AND BUT WE DON'T HAVE A FINAL NO, BECAUSE THERE'S DIFFERENT PIECES.
I GUESS THE FINAL THING IS JUST BE IT RESOLVED AT THE MAYOR AND BUS BOARD OF TRAFFIC.
BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE MAYOR AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES HEREBY ADOPT PROPOSED LOCAL LAW D OF 2026, A LOCAL LAW TO AMEND CHAPTER 2 82 VEHICLES OF TRAFFIC OF THE CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF HASTINGS ON HUDSON REGARDING DOWNTOWN PARKING REGULATIONS.

I WAS TRYING TO LOOK FOR THAT.
IT'S, IT'S AT THE END OF COURSE.
MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE? SO MOVED.
THAT'S GONNA BE GREAT FOR THE VILLAGE AND FOR OUR BUSINESSES.
UH, MOVING ON TO 80 OF 26 RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF THE SALT SHED REPLACEMENT PROJECT GRANT APPLICATION VILLAGE HASTINGS ON HUDSON HEREBY REQUEST FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FROM THE NEW YORK STATE WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT PROGRAM.
AND WHEREAS THE VILLAGE CERTIFIES THAT IT'LL COMMIT $230,799 IN MATCHING FUNDS FOR THE PROJECT FROM THE ISSUANCE OF MUNICIPAL BONDS.

UH, THIS IS TO REPLACE THE CURRENT, UH, SALT SHED THAT IS IN, IS FALLING DOWN, LITERALLY.
AND, UH, BASED ON HOW HEAVY OF A WINTER WE HAD THIS PAST WINTER WHEN WE WERE THINKING THAT GLOBAL WARMING WAS GONNA KEEP US GETTING WARMER AND WARMER, THEN WE GOT SLAMMED.
SO I, I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS TO GET DONE, UH, QUICKLY.
SO, ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THIS? NO.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR VILLAGE MANAGER MURPHY FOR RESEARCHING THIS AND, AND FINDING SOMETHING THAT'S AVAILABLE TO US TO APPLY FOR.
UM, YOU WANT ME TO DISCUSS THAT? YEAH.
UH, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS, UH, CIRCULATED EARLIER IN THE DAY BY THE VILLAGE MANAGER IS A, A RECOMMENDATION THAT CAME FROM THE COMMUNITY, UM, THAT, THAT WE ADOPT A, UH, ENFORCEMENT, UM, PAUSE ON OUR GAS POWERED LEAF BLOWERS AT THIS TIME BECAUSE OF THE, UH, INTENSE AMOUNT OF DEBRIS AND DAMAGE THAT WE HAVE THROUGHOUT THE VILLAGE.
UH, I'M PROPOSING THAT WE HAVE A PAUSE ON OUR GAS POWERED LEAF BLOWER BAN AT THIS TIME FROM JULY 8TH, 2026 THROUGH JULY 19TH, 2026.
AND, AND JUST A 10 DAY PERIOD AFTER THE STORM BECAUSE, UH, I MEAN, I KNOW MY NEIGHBORHOOD GOT HIT VERY HARD.
UH, THE VILLAGE WAS OUT AT SEVEN 30 THIS MORNING CLEARING PARTS OF OUR ROADWAYS AND, UH, THEY'VE BEEN WORKING.
OUR DP W'S BEEN WORKING NONSTOP, BUT I WANTED TO JUST GET THE OPINION OF THE BOARD AT THIS TIME TO SEE IF ANYBODY HAS ANY STRONG OPINIONS AGAINST THIS.
UH, I JUST FIGURED OUR LANDSCAPING BUSINESSES ARE GONNA BE DOING CLEANUPS ALL THROUGHOUT THE VILLAGE.
I KNOW OUR VILLAGE, UH, STAFF WILL BE DOING CLEANUPS, INCLUDING OUR VILLAGE, UH, LANDSCAPER
THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF, UH, CLEANUP THAT THEY HAVE TO DO.
THEY HAVE A VERY LARGE TREE IN REYNOLDS FIELD THAT, UH, FELL AND DAMAGED THEIR STORAGE CONTAINERS.
UM, JUST WONDERING WHAT THE PULSE OR, OR THE, UH, FEELING OF THE BOARD WOULD BE IN INSTITUTING THIS.
IT DOES, WE, WE CAN'T DECLARE A STATE OF EMERGENCY AND THEN JUST DO IT, UH, BECAUSE THE COUNTY NEVER DID AND THE STATE NEVER DID.
SO WE WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE TO JUST DO A, UH, RESOLUTION PAUSING THE ENFORCEMENT FOR 10 DAYS.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY OPINION? AND THAT'S FOR INDIVIDUAL HOMEOWNERS USING IT AND ALSO LANDSCAPING COMPANIES AND
[00:50:01]
ANYBODY USING IT THAT, SO IT'S ON THE, OVER THE NEXT 10 MINUTES, IT'S ON THE HOMEOWNERS TO THEN COMMUNICATE WITH THEIR LANDSCAPING COMPANY IF THEY'RE NOT DOING IT THEMSELVES.AND TO THEN LET THEM KNOW WHEN IT'S, WE'RE GONNA PUT OUT A COMMUNICATION AS WELL TO THE COMMUNITY, JUST IF WE APPROVE THIS AND TO, AND WE HAD, WE HAVE THE LANDSCAPERS REGISTER WITH THE VILLAGE, SO WE DO HAVE CONTACT INFORMATION.
IS ANYBODY OPPOSED TO DOING THIS? ANYBODY HAVE AN ISSUE IF WE ADD THIS, THIS ON AS A RESOLUTION RIGHT NOW AND APPROVE IT? SO IF WE CAN PUT THIS OUT TO THE PUBLIC TONIGHT.
SO AFTER THIS, IF WE ADD IT IN IT, IT GOES TO PUBLIC COMMENT, THAT'S THE NEXT STEP.
NO, WE'RE, WE'RE NOT CHANGING THE APPROVED WE'RE WE JUST FOR THE NEXT, WE'RE NOT CHANGING IT FROM PAING FROM THE EIGHTH UNTIL THE 19TH.
UM, I CHOSE THE 19TH BECAUSE IT GIVES YOU THEM TWO FULL WEEKENDS FOR PEOPLE THAT, SO IT'S END OF DAY, THE 19TH.
SO THE MORNING OF THE 20TH, IT GOES BACK INTO EFFECT.
SO THEY SHOULDN'T BE USING EVERY NIGHT.
I MEAN, I THINK, I THINK THIS WILL REALLY HELP THE PUBLIC AND I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE JUST, I THINK IT, IT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA FOR US TO APPROVE.
MR. CLERK LIE DOWN ON HIS 81 OF 26, CORRECT, CORRECT RESOLUTION THAT IS CORRECT.
OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, OF THE VILLAGE OF HASTINGS ON HUDSON ESTABLISHING A TEMPORARY ENFORCEMENT POLICY FOR STORM DEBRIS CLEANUP, WHEREAS THE VILLAGE OF HASTINGS ON HUDSON RECENTLY EXPERIENCED A SEVERE STORM THAT RESULTED IN WIDESPREAD TREE DAMAGE AND STORM RELATED DEBRIS THROUGHOUT THE VILLAGE.

DURING THAT PERIOD, THE VILLAGE WILL REFRAIN FROM ENFORCING ARTICLE TWO OF CHAPTER 1 7 6 OF THE VILLAGE CODE WITH RESPECT TO THE USE OF GAS POWERED LEAF BLOWERS SOLELY FOR THE REMOVAL OF STORM RELATED DEBRIS RESULTING FROM THE RECENT STORM.
THIS RESOLUTION CONSTITUTES A TEMPORARY EXERCISE OF THE VILLAGE'S ENFORCEMENT DISCRETION.
ONLY NOTHING THERE HEREIN SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO SUSPEND, AMEND, WAIVE, REPEAL, OR OTHERWISE MODIFY OR MODIFY ARTICLE TWO OF CHAPTER 1 7 6 OF THE VILLAGE CODE, WHICH SHALL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT.

UH, LAST PARAGRAPH, THE VILLAGE MANAGER BUILDING DEPARTMENT, POLICE DEPARTMENT, AND ALL OF THEIR APPROPRIATE VILLAGE OFFICES, OFFICERS, DEPARTMENTS, AND PERSONNEL ARE HEREBY AUTHORIZED AND DIRECTED TO IMPLEMENT THIS RESOLUTION AND TO PROVIDE THE PUB PUBLIC NOTICE OF THIS TEMPORARY ENFORCEMENT POLICY.
MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE? SO MOVED.
I THINK THIS WILL BE A RELIEF AND, AND A GREAT HELP TO, UH, THE PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY OVER JUST THE NEXT 10 DAYS.
UH, MR. CLARK, CAN YOU BE IN COMMUNICATION WITH OUR IT DIRECTOR? UH, AND MAYBE, UH, DID YOU ALREADY COME UP WITH SOMETHING THAT CAN BE SENT OUT? YEAH, WE WERE, WE HAVE TO JUST MODIFY THE DATES A LITTLE AND WE WILL OKAY.
THANK YOU TO THE C COMMUNITY MEMBER WHO MADE THE, UH, RECOMMENDATION, I THINK IS A REALLY GREAT IDEA.
[XI. VILLAGE MANAGER’ S REPORT]
MANAGER'S REPORT.UM, SO THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT I WANTED TO DISCUSS WITH YOU.
UH, WE HAD, THE VILLAGE HAS BEEN APPROACHED BY HIGHLANDER INC.
ABOUT, UM, INTEREST IN, UH, PUTTING A CELL TOWER POLE, UH, NEAR IN THE, IN THE CHEKA POOL, UH, AREA.
AND, UM, WE AND INITIAL DISCUSSIONS WITH THEM WERE POTENTIALLY JUST ADDING TO ONE OF THE LIGHT TOWERS THAT WE ALREADY HAVE, UH, AT THE POOL.
BUT DID, UM, UPON FURTHER REVIEW, UM, THEY FELT THAT IT MIGHT INTERFERE WITH POOL ACTIVITIES IF THERE NEEDED TO BE ANY KIND OF, UH, MAINTENANCE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
AND SO WHAT THEY HAVE NOW PROPOSED IS THAT THEY WOULD, UH, REPLACE OUR LIGHT TOWERS WITH NEW LIGHT TOWERS THAT ARE, HAVE MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT LIGHTING, WHICH WOULD BE A SAVINGS.
OF COURSE, THOSE LIGHTS ARE REALLY EXPENSIVE TO TURN ON.
UH, AND THEY, THEY'D LIKE TO, UH, DO A CONCEALED POLE IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE POOL SITE.
[00:55:01]
JUST WANNA GET A, A, A, THE SEE WHETHER THE BOARD HAS, UM, INTEREST IN PURSUING THIS BECAUSE, UM, UH, IF, IF, IF THERE IS SOME INTEREST, THEN THEY'LL, THEY'LL COME UP WITH A CONCEPTUAL DESIGN PLAN AND, AND WE CAN CONSIDER THAT.BUT IF THERE'S NO INTEREST IN, IN EVEN PURSUING IT, AND ALSO, UM, I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO ASK THE VILLAGE ATTORNEY EARLIER, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THIS WOULD REQUIRE A MODIFICATION TO OUR ZONING CODE IN TERMS OF THE 'CAUSE WE, IT IS NOT AN AREA THAT'S ZONED FOR THAT RIGHT NOW, BUT IT'S THE, IT'S VILLAGE PROPERTY.
SO, UM, SO, UM, THAT'S KIND OF IT IN A NUTSHELL.
UH, I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF SEE IF THE BOARD IS INTERESTED IN CONTINUING TO PURSUE IT OR DO WE, DO WE HAVE OTHER, ANY OTHER CELL TOWER IN TOWN JUST ON THIS BUILDING AND ON HUDSON AND ON AND, AND ANDRE ANDRES IN THIS BUILDING.
OH, WHERE ARE THEY PROPOSING TO PUT IT ON THE WATER TANK OR NEXT TO THE WATER TANK POOL? IT'S NOT ON THE WATER TANK POOL.
IT'S ON THE, ON THE POOL PROPERTY IN THE, IN THE, UM, NORTHWEST CORNER.
IT'S KIND OF, YOU KNOW, THAT AREA THAT IS KIND OF THE BALL PLAYING AREA YEAH.
ROPED OFF OR, OR, OR FENCED OFF FOR, FOR BALL PLAYING.
IT'S, IT'S ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, IT'S A NICE AREA BECAUSE IT'S NOT REALLY CLOSE TO ANYTHING THAT MIGHT BE BOTHERED BY IT.
UM, I THINK ANY, UH, ANYWAY, BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, IT IS, YOU KNOW, IT, IT, IT'S GONNA BE, YOU KNOW, IT'S GONNA, IT'S GONNA BE A TOWER.
THEY'LL DO A CONCEALED POLE, THEY'LL PUT EVERYTHING ON THE INSIDE OF THE POLE.
UH, OPPOSED, AS OPPOSED, IT'S GONNA LIKE A PINE TREE
UM, WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT THE LIGHT FIXTURES, WE, WE, WE ESTIMATED THE LIGHT FIXTURES ARE CURRENTLY ABOUT 75 FEET TALL AND THEY WERE GONNA NEED ANOTHER, WAS IT 30 OR 60 FEET? 60, 60 FEET ON TOP OF THAT? THAT, YEAH.
BUT NOW THAT IT WON'T BE ON THE LIGHT TOWER.
THAT WILL PROBABLY CHANGE IT A LITTLE BIT.
BECAUSE THE LIGHTS ARE A CERTAIN HEIGHT AND THEN THEY NEED A CERTAIN HEIGHT ABOVE IT FOR, UM, THEY WERE GONNA BE WANTING, THEY PUT MULTIPLE CARRIERS ON, ON THE POLE.
YOU KNOW, THAT WOULD HAVE, IT WOULD'VE MORE THAN ONE CARRIER.
WELL, WHAT ARE THE USUAL DRAWBACKS TO SOMETHING LIKE THIS OR CONCERNS? UM, THEY, SOME PEOPLE DON'T LIKE THE WAY THEY LOOK.
UH, I, BECAUSE OF IT KIND OF BACKS UP AGAINST LIKE A VERY TREED HILLSIDE.
I, I DON'T PERSONALLY BELIEVE THAT THAT'S, IT'S GONNA BE VERY INTRUSIVE LOOKING AND ALL OF THEM AT THE EQUIPMENT WILL BE INSIDE OF THE, OF, OF THE, THE, YOU KNOW, THE POLE ITSELF.
UM, I MEAN, IT'S A REVENUE GENERATOR FOR THE VILLAGE, SO THAT'S ALWAYS A POSITIVE AS WELL.
UH, YOU KNOW, UM, SOME PEOPLE JUST DON'T LIKE CELL TOWERS, BUT WE DO HAVE, UH, ISSUES IN THE VILLAGE IN CERTAIN PLACES WHERE RECEPTION IS VERY POOR.
UM, SO, UH, YOU KNOW, THERE'S, THERE'S, THERE'S THE, THE BENEFIT OF OF, OF HAVING IMPROVED CONNECTABILITY.
DO THEY THINK THAT LOCATION WOULD ACTUALLY PROVIDE COVERAGE TO, TO THE HIGHER POINTS IN THE VILLAGE? I MEAN, THERE'S, YEAH, RIGHT NOW THERE'S, THEY DO, THAT'S WHEN WE MET WITH THEM, THEY HAD SAID THAT THEY CHOSE THIS LOCATION BECAUSE IT WOULD HELP BRIDGE THAT GAP.
BUT WE, WE HAVEN'T HAD A, A FULL, UM, YOU KNOW, VETTING OF THAT PARTICULAR ISSUE.
AND, UH, THAT WILL LEAD ME TO ANOTHER CONVERSATION.
UM, ONCE, IF, IF, IF THE BOARD DOES WANNA MOVE AHEAD WITH THIS, I THINK IT WOULD MAKE SENSE FOR US TO, UM, WE HAD RETAINED CITYSCAPE CONSULTANTS BACK WHEN WE WERE DEALING WITH TRYING TO GET THE PEOPLE OFF THE ROOF SO THAT WE COULD FIX THE ROOF.
UM, AND THEY ARE A CONSULTING FIRM.
THEY, THEY REALLY WEREN'T A, A GOOD FIT IN TERMS OF WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH THEM, BUT THEY ARE A GOOD FIT FOR WHEN YOU'RE NEGOTIATING A NEW CONTRACT WITH A VENDOR.
SO I THINK THAT WE, YOU KNOW, IF WE ARE GONNA GO FORWARD WITH THIS, WE SHOULD PROBABLY LOOK TO, UH, GET A PROPOSAL FROM THEM, UM, OR SOME OTHER, UH, YOU KNOW, ENTITY THAT CAN, SO THAT WE GET A CONTRACT THAT IS, UM, TAKE ADDRESSES ALL OF THE POTENTIAL ISSUES THAT COULD COME UP.
UM, WHICH IS KIND OF WHERE WE WERE STUCK WITH, WITH THE ROOF HERE.
THE, THE CONTRACTS THAT WE HAVE WITH THE VENDORS ARE VERY ONE, ONE SIDED.
UH, AND WE, WE REALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT, UM, ALL OF THOSE, ALL OF THOSE THINGS.
IF WE'RE GONNA HAVE, UH, IF WE'RE GONNA, I, I WOULD JUST BE CURIOUS TO KNOW WHAT THE RADIUS IS FROM THE TOWER OTHER THAN THE POOL WHERE THE SCHOOL FALLS IN AND THE CLOSEST
[01:00:01]
RESIDENCES.AND ON THE SERVICE QUESTION, SO THE APPLICANT WILL PROVIDE WHAT THEY CLAIM IS THE SERVICE AREA.
BUT HAVING A COMPANY LIKE CITYSCAPE COME IN, WORKING FOR THE VILLAGE, THEY CAN CONFIRM THAT.
THEY WILL REVIEW THAT AND SAY, YES, THIS IS REALLY, AND AND THAT BECOMES A QUESTION OF HOW THE HEIGHT, THE RADIUS IS, WHAT THE HEIGHT NEEDS TO BE TO THE SCHOOL.
AND WHAT WAS THE OTHER IN ORDER TO PROVIDE THE SERVICE.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING WITH THAT? I'M JUST CURIOUS IF THERE'S REGULATIONS.
I'M, I'M, I MEAN, THERE'S PEOPLE GONNA BE SITTING BELOW IT IN A CHAIR.
WELL, SO THE PRIVATE RESIDENCES CHOICE.
CHOICE THE TREES IN THE SCHOOL.
MY CONCERN IS THE PEOPLE SITTING DIRECTLY.
TRANSIENT FOLK IN THE SENSE THAT THEY'RE NOT RESIDING THERE GENERATIONALLY.
LIKE, WE KNOW THE POOLS RIGHT THERE, AND THAT'S ONE CONSIDERATION, BUT I'M CURIOUS FOR RESIDENCES AND THE SCHOOL WHERE PEOPLE ARE SEDENTARY AND THAT'S THEIR, WE CAN EASILY, AND IF THERE'S ANY REG, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY REGULATIONS AROUND HOW CLOSE A CELL TOWER CAN OR SHOULD BE TO RESIDENTIAL HOMES OR SCHOOLS.
I, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A, THERE'S A LOT OF, THERE ARE NONE.
THERE, THERE'S A LOT OF LITIGATION ACTUALLY ABOUT, UM, THE WHOLE ISSUE OF CELL TOWERS AND, AND WHAT THEY'RE CLOSE TO AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
UM, BUT, UH, BUT I ALSO THINK THAT THERE ARE, THERE ARE REGULATIONS WITH REGARD TO DIFFERENT, YOU KNOW, THINGS WITH CELL TOWERS.
AND THAT'S WHY YOU REALLY WANT A CONSULTANT WHO UNDERSTANDS THOSE REGULATIONS AND ARE GOING, IS GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT, UH, IT IS, UM, PLACED IN A WAY THAT'S APPROPRIATE.
YOU KNOW, THAT'S, THAT'S LEGAL AND, AND, AND MEETS ALL THOSE REGULATIONS.
YOU, YOU HAVE THE BENEFIT HERE OF ITS VILLAGE PROPERTY.
SO YOU CAN IMPOSE CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS, UM, THAT YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO IF SOMEONE WAS COMING IN WITH AN APPLICATION ON PRIVATE PROPERTY.
SO IF WE, IF WE, IF WE CAN, I'M SURE WE CAN.
I'D JUST LOVE TO SEE A PICTURE.
I WAS GONNA ASK FOR THAT TOO, VERY EASILY.
THEORETICAL WOULDN'T MOUNT TO THE OUTSIDE, BUT I'D LOVE TO SEE THE HEIGHT, THE, AND THE BASE, HOW IT'S ACTUALLY ATTACHED.
AND ALSO ARE THERE, ARE, THERE BASE IS FAIRLY LARGE.
I THINK IT'S, IT'S ABOUT FIVE FEET ACROSS AT THE BASE.
I WOULD WANNA SEE A PICTURE ALSO.
AND ALSO, UM, WOULD ADDITIONAL LIGHTS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT HAVE TO BE, I KNOW NOT THE POOL LIGHTS, BUT MM-HMM
THIS, IT WOULD PROVIDE ADDITIONAL LIGHTING, BUT I GUESS THERE WOULD A BLINKING LIGHT.
WHAT IS IT GONNA LOOK LIKE? IT DEPENDS ON THE HEIGHT OF IT.
WHAT IS IT GONNA, WHAT IS IT GONNA LOOK LIKE USUALLY? UM, I WILL TAKE A PICTURE OF ONE, 'CAUSE I KNOW WHERE THERE IS ONE IN, IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO, TO, UH, A PLACE THAT I GO WITH SOME REGULARITY.
SO I CAN, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT HOME
THERE'S ONE A COUPLE MILES AWAY.
OR LIKE AT NIGHT, LIKE, IS THERE, LIKE, IS THERE LIGHTS ON? NO, NO, THERE'S NO LIGHTS ON THEM? NO.
AND THEY'LL, THEY'LL MAKE THEM EITHER GRAY OR BROWN, YOU KNOW, TO KIND OF MATCH.
IF YOU, IF THEY'RE, IF THEY'RE SKY BEHIND THEM, THEY, THEY TEND TO MAKE THEM GRAY OR, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
IF THERE'S WOODS BEHIND THEM, YOU CAN MAKE THEM BROWN IF YOU PREFER, YOU KNOW, THAT SORT OF THING.
BUT I CAN, SO THERE'S NO NIGHTTIME LIGHTS ON THEM.
THERE'S NO NIGHTTIME LIGHTS ON THEM.
THEY ALSO THOUGH, WILL HAVE LIKE A, AN EQUIPMENT, UM, THEY, THEY, THEY HAVE NOT ONLY THE, THE, THE HOLE ITSELF, BUT THERE'S A, THERE'S AN EQUIPMENT, UH, AREA AS WELL FOR STUFF THAT'S ON THE GROUND THAT, YOU KNOW, IS CONNECTED TO THE, TO THE, IT'S NOT LOUD CELL TOWER.
I, I DON'T BELIEVE SO, BUT THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
I, IS THERE SOUND? I DON'T KNOW.
IF YOU WERE TO HAPPEN TO WALK NEAR THAT, LIKE A HING OR MARY BETH VILLAGE MANAGER, YOU WORK DIRECTLY UNDER THE EQUIPMENT THAT WE HAVE.
AND I DON'T NOTICE A NOISE IN YOUR OFFICE.
A CEILING AND A ROOF BETWEEN US TWO.
I MEAN, BUT I THINK IT'S WORTH IT.
IT'S WORTH, IF YOU WANTED TO TAKE A FIELD TRIP AND WALK NEAR IT, THAT'D BE REALLY GREAT.
SO WHERE AT NIGHT? THAT'S, I JUST HAVES PUSHING IT.
I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE LOCATION.
UH, SEND ME THE ADDRESS AND I'LL GO.
I DO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE LOCATION.
I DON'T WANT TO TAKE AWAY FROM THE POOL AREA.
AND IF THERE'S GONNA BE HEALTH CONCERNS THAT ARE GONNA BE TALKED ABOUT AND EVERYTHING MM-HMM
WHICH I'M SURE THEY'RE, THEY'RE GONNA COME UP, BUT DID THEY APPROACH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT? 'CAUSE THAT ACTUALLY MAKES THE MOST SENSE IN MY OPINION.
'CAUSE THEY'RE THE HIGHEST POINT.
DID THEY ASK THEM ALREADY? AND THEY SAID NO.
AND, AND IS THERE BACKGROUND THAT, LIKE, FOR THEIR ROOF, YOU'RE SAYING, OR SOMETHING ON THEIR PROPERTY? I DO NOT KNOW WHO ELSE THAT THEY HAVE PROPOSED.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY DID SAY IS BECAUSE THE VILLAGE IS SO HILLY, THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY, YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE YOU, YOU JUST HIT A, A MASS OF EARTH AND THE SIGNAL JUST DOESN'T GO THROUGH IT.
[01:05:01]
SO, UM, SO, BUT, BUT I, I, WE, I DID NOT ASK THEM AND THEY DID NOT SAY THAT THEY HAD APPROACHED THE SCHOOL OR ANYBODY ELSE IRESEARCH ON THAT.BUT WE CAN, WE CAN, WE CAN ASK.
IF, IF YOU CAN JUST GET VISUALS AND STUFF, THAT'D BE GREAT.
UM, SO, UH, OH, THERE'S A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS THAT I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT WITH REGARD TO CELL TOWERS.
AS LONG AS WE'RE ON THE SUBJECT, IF YOU DON'T MIND MM-HMM
UM, VERIZON HAS ALSO ASKED TO BE ADDED TO THE VILLAGE HALL ROOF.
UH, WE ALL, WE HAVE, UH, T-MOBILE AND AT AND T UP THERE NOW.
AND VERIZON WOULD LIKE TO BE ADDED.
THERE IS SPACE ON THE VILLAGE HALL ROOF TO DO SO.
UM, THEY WOULD LIKE TO AGAIN, YOU KNOW, NEGOTIATE A CONTRACT WITH US.
SO, I MEAN, WE ALREADY HAVE EQUIPMENT UP THERE, SO I DON'T IMAGINE THAT IT'S COMES WITH THE SAME KIND OF PROBLEM, BUT WE CAN WRITE A NEW CONTRACT.
WELL, THAT'S WHY THANK YOU AGAIN.
I WOULD WANNA RETAIN CITYSCAPE TO HELP US WITH THAT PROCESS.
UM, SO YEAH, SO THOSE, I, UH, THAT ONE I THINK IS A LITTLE BIT, UM, LESS CONTROVERSIAL PERHAPS.
UH, SO IS, UM, SO I WILL CONTACT CITYSCAPE AND ASK THEM FOR A PROPOSAL ON THAT, IF THAT'S AGREEABLE TO THE BOARD.
UH, DOES THE NEXT, UH, THING THAT I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT WAS, UM, THE, UH, AN ON-STREET EV CHARGER.
COULD YOU BRING UP THAT PICTURE FOR ME, PLEASE? YES.
UH, A RESIDENT IN THE VILLAGE HAS ASKED TO INSTALL A, AN EV CHARGE.
THEY, THEY DO NOT HAVE A DRIVEWAY, AND THEY'VE ASKED TO INSTALL AN EV CHARGER ON, UH, THEY HAVE THESE, THESE THINGS NOW, WHICH, UH, THIS, THIS PARTICULAR BRAND IS CALLED CHARGE GULLY.
AND BASICALLY A, A GULLY IS, IS MADE IN THE SIDEWALK AND A METAL KIND OF LITTLE GULLY, IF YOU WILL.
AND THEN THERE'S LITTLE KEY THAT THE, THE PROPERTY OWNER CAN USE TO OPEN IT.
AND SO THEY CAN HAVE A CHARGER ON THEIR PROPERTY AND THEY CAN PUT THE CORD FOR THE CHARGER INTO THAT LITTLE GULLY, AND THEN THEY SNAP IT SHUT.
THEY CHARGE THEIR CAR AT NIGHT.
WHEN THEY TAKE IT OUT, THEY REMOVE THE, UM, THE, THE, THE, THE CHARGER.
AND, UH, AND THEN THEY RELOCK THE, THE LITTLE, UM, HOW LONG IS THE LEAD ON THAT? ARE THEY, DO THEY NEED TO PARK IN A PARTICULAR SPOT OUTSIDE THEIR HOME? OR DO THEY HAVE FLEXIBILITY DEPENDING ON AVAILABILITY ON THE STREET? UM, WELL, DEPENDS ON THEIR CHARGER THAT, YOU KNOW, AND I, I, I IMAGINE YOU CAN BUY CHARGERS WITH DIFFERENT LENGTHS OF HOSES, BUT I THINK THAT THE CABLES, THE THINKING IS YES, CABLE.
UM, BUT I THINK THE THINKING IS THAT THEY WOULD PARK PRIMARILY WHERE THEY DO PARK, WHICH I GET, YOU KNOW, WHICH PRESUMABLY IS IN FRONT OF THEIR HOUSE.
IF SOMEBODY ELSE WAS PARKED THERE, THEY'D BE, YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I'M, THEY'D BE OUT LOT BECAUSE IT PROHIBIT FROM CHART.
'CAUSE IT PROHIBIT THEM FROM CHARGING.
IF SOMEONE ELSE CHOOSES TO PARK THERE, SINCE IT'S A PUBLIC STREET, DO THEY HAVE A, IT COULD, THAT'S LONG ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO, THEY WOULDN'T HAVE A, YOU KNOW, THEY WOULDN'T HAVE EXCLUSIVITY TO THAT PARTICULAR SPOT.
UM, IT WOULD STILL BE A PUBLIC, YOU KNOW, PUBLIC PARKING SPOT, UH, IN, IN, IN THE VILLAGE.
UM, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT COMPANIES.
CHARGE GULLY HAPPENS TO BE ONE THAT I JUST PICKED UP OFF THE INTERNET TO KIND OF SHOW YOU THESE PICTURES.
BUT, UM, UH, THE OTHER THING IS I DID GO UP AND KIND OF TAKE A LOOK AT THE SIDEWALK IN THAT AREA, UH, TONIGHT.
AND I, I FEEL THAT IT WOULD, I THINK IF, IF WE'RE GOING TO, TO THINK ABOUT AUTHORIZING SOMETHING LIKE THIS, UM, WE'D WANT THE SIDEWALK TO BE IMPROVED.
I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY ELSE IS.
IT'S STONE, RIGHT? ISN'T IT STONE? IT'S SLATE.
BUT THERE'S A LOT OF, THERE'S A LOT OF BROKEN, CRACKED, UH, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S NOT IN TERRIFIC SHAPE, IN MY OPINION.
WOULD THEY WANT TO DO CONCRETE AS IT'S SHOWN THERE? I HAVE NOT HAD HAD AN IN-DEPTH DISCUSSION WITH THEM ABOUT THAT.
UM, I JUST, YOU KNOW, IN THE FIRST INSTANCE, WANT TO KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THERE'S ANY INTEREST IN, YOU KNOW, SO THEY EVEN ALLOWING IT.
WE'D PROBABLY HAVE TO CHANGE OUR, OUR, UH, SIDEWALK LAW.
BUT YOU'D HAVE TO GIVE THEM A LICENSE AGREEMENT.
AND THEY WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING IT.
WHAT ABOUT THEY'RE LIABLE? SO, WELL, I WAS GONNA SAY THE LIABILITY OF IT LEAVING LESS STUFF IS WHAT I'M THINKING.
SOMETHING IS, YOU KNOW, IF SOMEONE TRIPS ON IT, IF IT BLOWS UP IN A STORM OR A DOGGY PAW GETS BURNED ON IT IN THE SUMMER, LIKE WHERE'S THE, WELL, EVERYBODY'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF THEIR PROPERTY, SO THEY WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF THEIR PROPERTY JUST LIKE THEY ARE NOW.
BUT WE'RE ENTERING INTO THE PERMISSION SIDE OF THIS.
SO I MEAN, THERE, I MEAN, WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A HOLD HARMLESS.
UM, IS THERE ANY, IS THERE ANY, UM, IF OTHER NEIGHBORS,
[01:10:01]
EITHER ON THIS STREET OR OTHER STREETS, WAS THERE A MAXIMUM NUMBER OF THESE THAT COULD GO ON? UM, THAT'S A CONCERN.I MEAN, THERE'S ONLY PROLIFERATION.
THERE'S NOT A LOT OF THE, THE HOUSE JUST ABOVE IT HAS ITS OWN LITTLE PARKING LOT IN THE BACK.
WELL, I MEAN, I'M JUST, I'M JUST SAYING THIS IS JUST ONE SPOT.
I'M JUST SAYING WITH APPROVAL OF THIS, LIKE WHAT, UM, IF YOU SCROLL ANTHONY, I THINK UP A LITTLE BIT.
THERE'S, UH, THERE'S I THINK A, A PICTURE OF, SEE THIS PICTURE THAT ONE.
THEY, THEY, THEY HAVE ALL THESE CARS.
IT SEEMS THAT THEY'VE GOT THEM ALL LINED UP.
UH, BUT, UH, SO I MEAN, CAN YOU HAVE MORE THAN ONE? I BELIEVE YOU CAN, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU KNOW THAT, THAT THERE'S NOT MANY HOUSES THERE.
BUT I MEAN, YOU WOULD BE OPENING UP, UP FOR OTHER STREETS NOW, RIGHT? YEAH.
I MEAN, WE TALKED ABOUT ACCESSIBILITY AND, AND ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE'RE DOING THE, THE, THE CHARGING STATION INITIATIVE THAT WE ARE DOING IS BECAUSE OF, UH, ACCESSIBILITY FOR PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN APARTMENT BUILDINGS AND STUFF, AND WHO ARE LIMITED.
AND SO, I MEAN, I'M NOT OPPOSED, BUT I THINK, UH, COUNCIL NEEDS TO BE INVOLVED WITH THIS AND MAKE SURE WE'RE REALLY COVERED BY THIS, UH MM-HMM
YOU DID ORIGINALLY ASK ME ABOUT THIS A FEW WEEKS AGO, AND I WENT AND LOOKED AT THE SITE AND THAT'S ACTUALLY MUCH BETTER WHAT THAN WHAT I WAS IMAGINING.
I THOUGHT YOU'RE ASKING FOR A BOX.
LIKE A WHOLE SQUARE, LIKE SLAB.
UM, SO THAT, THAT'S MUCH BETTER THAN I THOUGHT.
I MEAN, IT HAS TO BE FLUSHED WITH THE SIDEWALK AND, AND EVERYTHING SO THAT IT'S NOT A TRIPPING HAZARD.
I GUESS TO, TO TRUSTEE BERG'S POINT THOUGH, LIKE, ARE WE ALSO ESSENTIALLY GRANTING THEM LIKE A DEDICATED PARKING SPACE IN FRONT OF THEIR HOUSE, WHICH WE'RE NOT DOING.
SO WE WOULDN'T BE, AND I THINK THE, YOU KNOW, OUR LICENSE AGREEMENT HAS TO BE CLEAR ABOUT THAT.
'CAUSE THIS IS JUST A PUBLIC, YOU KNOW, IT'S A PUBLIC STREET THAT ANYBODY CAN PARK.
I MEAN, WHAT ABOUT ADDING MORE OF THESE EV CHARGING STATIONS AROUND THE VILLAGE IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS? LET'S SEE IF THE ONES THAT WE HAVE WE'RE PUTTING IN, HOW WELL THEY GET USED BEFORE WE, I THINK MAYBE START ADDING ADDITIONAL ONES.
I MEAN, IF WE NEED THEM, WE CAN, WE CAN
CHANGING THEM RIGHT NOW I THINK WOULD BE VERY COMPLICATED AND COSTLY.
IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE NOT, YOU KNOW, AGAINST IT.
SO LET'S JUST DO FURTHER RESEARCH.
SO LET'S, SO I'LL WORK WITH LINDA TO SEE WHETHER OR NOT THERE'S SOME TERM TERMS THAT WOULD BE, UM, THAT, THAT WOULD WORK FOR THIS.
AND THEN MAYBE THE BOARD CAN CONSIDER IT.
I GUESS IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S A, THEY RES THE HOMEOWNERS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SIDEWALK, BUT IT'S A PUBLIC ROAD THAT'S, AND PUBLIC PARKING.
SO THERE'S THAT, YOU KNOW, KIND OF NOT, IT'S IMBALANCED IN THAT WAY, IF YOU WILL.
THEY HAVE TO UNDERSTAND TOO, THEY ED, THEY'RE NOT GUARANTEED.
I MEAN, THE SIDEWALK IS ALSO PUBLIC.
IT'S JUST, THEY'RE JUST RESPONSIBLE TO MAINTAIN IT.
WELL, OF COURSE IT'S PO RIGHT.
BUT I'M SAYING IN TERMS OF THE MAINTENANCE OR, OR YEAH.
THEY'RE PUTTING, THEY'RE INSTALLING SOMETHING IN THEIR SIDEWALK AND IT'S, RIGHT NOW IT'S A BEAUTIFUL SIDEWALK.
IT'S ALL CRACKED IN CERTAIN PLACES.
THERE'S ALL SORTS OF ISSUES WITH IT, BUT IT IS, IT WOULD BE A SHAME TO, TO LOSE THAT COMPLETELY.
IT WOULD BE NICE TO RESTORE IT IN, IN, IN, IN, IN LIGHT CONDITION.
AND THERE'S MIGHT BE ENOUGH SPACE BETWEEN THE SLATE PANELS TO PUT THIS SORT OF THING, AND THEN YOU COULD DO THAT.
YOU COULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND IT WOULD BE A, A, A NICE IMPROVEMENT FOR THE AREA.
UM, UH, THE NEXT THING I JUST WANTED TO UPDATE YOU ON, UH, THE SPRING STE SPRING STREET SIDEWALK PROJECT.
UM, WE ARE, UH, WE'VE STARTED, THEY'VE DONE PRETTY MUCH THE DEMOLITION ON THE NORTH SIDE OF SPRING STREET UP TO, UH, 5, 5 5 BROADWAY OR THAT NEW PROJECT THAT'S GONNA BE GOING IN THERE.
AND, UH, THEY'RE, UH, INSTALLING A NEW CATCH BASIN AT THE END OF THE STREET.
WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF, UH, THINGS THAT CAME UP WITH THE, UM, ELECTRICAL CONDUITS THAT GO INTO THE BUILDINGS THAT WE, UH, DISCOVERED.
SOME THINGS THAT WE HAVE ADVISED HOME, YOU KNOW, THE BUILDING OWNERS OF, SO THAT THEY CAN ADDRESS IT WHILE THEY, WHILE THE, WHILE THE, THE, UH, SIDEWALK IS OPEN WOULD BE A LOT EASIER FOR THEM.
SO WE'RE WORKING, WORKING THROUGH THOSE THINGS AS WELL WITH, WITH THE, UM, YOU KNOW, WITH THE, THE OWNERS OF THOSE PROPERTIES.
AND, UH, IT'S GONNA BE DONE IN THREE PHASES.
THE NEXT PHASE WILL BE AT THE, ON THE, UH, SOUTH SIDE OF THE STREET AT THE BOTTOM
[01:15:01]
OF SPRING.AND THEN THE THIRD PHASE WILL BE UP ON THE, UH, UH, SOUTH SIDE OF THE STREET, BUT, UM, UP CLOSER TO, UH, WARBURTON AVENUE.
UM, SO EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE GOING WELL.
WE'VE, YOU KNOW, BEEN IN COMMUNICATION WITH THE, THE REST, THE RESIDENTS, UH, SHOP OWNERS.
EVERYONE'S PLACE HAS AN ACCESS.
UH, AND SO THEY'RE MAINTAINING THE ACCESS FOR EVERYBODY AS WELL.
PEDESTRIAN DETOUR SIGNS AND STUFF.
I SAW THE SI, UM, THE SOUTH SIDE HAS SAW CUTS IN THE STREET.
WELL, THEY, AND I'M ASSUMING ARE WHERE THE FUTURE CURB GOES, BUT YES, BECAUSE WE'RE PUTTING THE, THE BIRD WIDENING THE SIDEWALK, AS YOU RECALL ON THAT.
NO, I THINK, UH, IT'S, IT'S COMING ALONG NICELY.
UM, THE NEXT THING I WANTED TO JUST BRING, UH, JUST REMIND YOU OF, WE HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE LWRP.
WE HAD A MEETING WITH THE STATE AND WITH, UM, UH, MJ, OUR, OUR, OUR CONSULTING PLANNERS.
AND THAT MEETING WENT QUITE WELL.
AND WHAT CAME OUT OF THAT WAS WHAT WE WERE HOPING WOULD COME OUT OF IT, THAT THEY WOULD SEE, YOU KNOW, OUR, BASICALLY WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY UNDERSTOOD THAT WE CANNOT ACT ON ANY KIND OF ZONING ZONING WITH REGARD TO THE WATER, WITH REGARD TO THE WATERFRONT NOW.
AND THEY DID UNDERSTAND, UH, THE WHOLE, THAT, THAT WHOLE ISSUE.
SO MJ IS IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING EDITS, MOST OF WHICH WERE, YOU KNOW, SMALL THINGS THAT DIDN'T, DIDN'T REALLY, UH, MATTER MUCH.
UM, AND THEY'LL, THEY SHOULD HAVE THAT TO ME BY THE END OF JULY.
UH, SO ON THE AUGUST, SO I'LL BE THEN, YOU KNOW, UH, SHARING IT WITH THE BOARD.
IT'S, IT'S IN, IN DRAFT FORM TO GO BACK TO THE STATE.
AND ON AUGUST 18TH, UH, I'LL BE PUT, I'LL BE ASKING THE MAYOR IF WE CAN PUT THAT ON THE AGENDA TO DISCUSS IT AS A BOARD, ANY, ANY COMMENTS THAT THE BOARD HAS.
AND THEN, UM, IT, UH, MJ WILL ALSO BE PRESUMING INTO THAT MEETING, SO THERE'LL BE, THEY'LL BE PRESENT TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT WE HAVE.
SO I JUST WANTED TO, UM, LET YOU ALL KNOW THAT YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A LITTLE LIGHT READING OVER THE SUMMER, SO PREPARE YOURSELF AND, UH, YEAH, WE WANT TO KIND OF GET THIS, UM, YOU KNOW, MOVING FORWARD AND WRAPPED UP.
UM, THE OTHER TWO, UH, COUPLE THINGS, IF YOU DON'T MIND ME JUST ADDING, I KNOW I HAVE A FEW THINGS TONIGHT, BUT, UM, WE, I HAD A ACTUALLY, UM, UH, TRUSTEE ALLGOOD AND I HAD CONVERSATION WITH CREIGHTON MANNING WITH REGARD TO THE, UH, RAVENSDALE AND ROSEDALE INTERSECTION, WHICH HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF MANY DISCUSSIONS, YOU KNOW, BY THE BOARD.
AND ALSO, UH, THE, UH, THE, YOU KNOW, THE PEDE, THE, THE INTERSECTION OF PE, PEDESTRIAN CROSSING THERE, AS WELL AS MAIN STREET.
SO, UM, WHICH ONE FIRST, UM, LET'S START WITH, UH, RAVENSDALE AND ROSEDALE, IF YOU DON'T MIND.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN, HOW MUCH YOU CAN SEE THERE.
UM, IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFICULT, BUT WHAT, WHAT HAS BEEN PROPOSED BY, UH, BY CREIGHTON MANNING IS, UM, BASICALLY, UH, A LOT OF, YOU KNOW, SIGNAGE, VISIBILITY AND, UM, CROSSINGS ACROSS, ACROSS, BOTH ACROSS, UH, RAVENSDALE AND ALSO ACROSS, UM, ROSEDALE.
UH, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT CAME UP WAS, UM, WHAT WOULD, WHY WOULD CHANGING THE TURNING RADIUSES, UM, REALLY MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE? AND WE HAD A PRETTY EXTENSIVE DISCUSSION TODAY ABOUT, UH, STOP SIGNS AND THE USE OF STOP SIGNS AND THE USE OF SIGNAGE, AND, UM, ALSO ISSUES ABOUT THE ROAD ITSELF.
WE HAVE OUR BIG RAVENSDALE PROJECT THAT WE'RE GONNA BE DOING ONCE WE, WE DID GET A, YOU KNOW, SIGNIFICANT GRANT.
I THINK I'M THINKING IT'S OVER $3 MILLION I IN MY HEAD RIGHT NOW, BUT I HAVE HAD THE NUMBER IN FRONT OF ME.
UM, BUT WE WANTED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS INTERSECTION FIRST.
SO, UM, CREIGHTON MANNING WANTED US TO SHARE IT WITH YOU THERE.
THEY'RE, OH, THEY ALSO ARE PROPOSING, UM, WHAT ARE THEY CALLED AGAIN? PADS, UH, CUSHIONS.
CUSHIONS, CUSHIONS, ROAD CUSHIONS.
AT THE APPROACH TO THE, THE CROSSINGS.
ARE THOSE THE MODULAR RUBBER SPEED? YES.
IS IT BECAUSE THEY'RE JUST A DIFFERENT MATERIAL THAT THEY'RE CALLED? THE REASON WHY THEY'RE CALLED CUSHIONS, I THINK, IS BECAUSE THEY PUT THEM ON THE ROAD IN SUCH A WAY THAT EMERGENCY VEHICLES WHEELS WILL GO IN
[01:20:01]
BETWEEN THE THREE CUSHIONS.SO EMERGENCY VEHICLES WON'T HAVE TO SLOW DOWN, BUT THAT THE, BECAUSE OF THE WIDTH OF CARS, THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO AVOID, UH, USING, HITTING THE, THE CUSHION.
SO, UM, THAT WOULD, THEY WOULD, THEY WOULD HAVE TO SLOW DOWN FOR THAT PURPOSE.
YOU, YOU'VE REVIEWED THESE WITH THE CHIEFS? UM, I HAVE, I HAVE, I HAVE, I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE HEAD CHIEF ABOUT IT.
UH, THE CONCERN THAT HE RAISED, I DID TELL HIM THAT THEY HAVE THESE, YOU KNOW, THE, THE, THESE KIND OF COLUMNS IN THEM.
UM, I DID TELL HIM THAT HE DID RAISE THE FACT OF PLOWS, UH, YOU KNOW, WINTER PLOWS IN THE WINTER.
THEY ARE REMOVABLE, YOU KNOW, IN THE WINTER IF YOU, IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO THAT.
UM, BUT I THINK THEY'RE JUST USING THE TEXTURED ROADWAY AS OPPOSED TO SOMETHING THAT'S RAISED, YOU KNOW, LIKE, UM, I DUNNO WHAT THEY CALL 'EM, BUT IT'S JUST LIKE BOMBS, LIKE RUMBLE STRIPS KIND OF.
MORE LIKE A RUMBLE STRIP AS OPPOSED TO THOSE ARE ALSO DIFFICULT TO PLOW.
BUT, SO I WANTED TO ALSO JUST PART, PARTLY DESCRIBE A LITTLE BIT OTHER PARTS OF THE CONVERSATION.
SO IT FELT TO ME THAT THEY HAD MISSED THE, THE ACTUAL POINT OF THE REQUEST, AND WHICH TO BE CLEAR, WAS TO EASE, TO MAKE IT EASIER AND SAFER FOR PEDESTRIANS TO CROSS FROM BRANFORD TO ROSEDALE.
AND THEN WHAT THAT, IN ORDER TO, TO MAKE THAT EASIER, WHAT WE WERE THINKING, AND THIS MIGHT BE, YOU KNOW, FROM A, FROM A LAY PERSON'S PERSPECTIVE, THAT A STOP SIGN WOULD BE THE BEST ANSWER.
BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE THE BEST WAY TO GET CARS TO ACTUALLY STOP AND TO SLOW THE, AND TO, AND TO STOP THE STEADY FLOW OF TRAFFIC.
SO WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT IS, OR FACED WITH, IS CARS FROM THE, ON THIS SCREEN, IT'S ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT? MM-HMM
GOING TOWARDS THE TOP LEFT, THAT'S HEADING WEST.
CARS COMING DOWN THE HILL AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RIGHT OF THE SCREEN ARE GOING AT SUCH SPEEDS THAT IF YOU'RE, UM, IF UNLESS YOU DON'T, YOU, YOU'RE RISKING YOUR LIFE UNLESS YOU RUN ACROSS THAT STREET.
AND SO THE SPEED CUSHIONS, WHAT THEY'RE INTENDING TO DO IS TO SLOW THE CARS DOWN.
AND WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING ON THE SCREEN IS APU A PUSH BUTTON LIGHT THAT IF YOU WANTED TO CROSS, YOU WOULD PUSH THAT BUTTON AND LIGHTS WOULD FLASH, AND THEN THE CAR WOULD KNOW THAT YOU'RE CROSSING THE STREET.
AND THAT WOULD, UH, PREVENT, THAT WOULD ESSENTIALLY, A CAR WOULD LIKELY STOP WHEN THEY SEE THE LIGHTS FLASHING.
AND THIS IS AFTER THEY'VE ALREADY ENCOUNTERED THE BUMP, THAT IN THEORY, THEY WOULD'VE SLOWED DOWN FOR IN THEORY, YES.
BUT IT COULD BE AT ANY POINT IN TIME.
IT COULD BE AS THEY'RE ACCELERATING AFTER THE BUMP.
SO WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT THEN, THE QUESTION IS, ONE QUESTION IS, WHILE, WHAT, WHAT'S WRONG WITH A STOP SIGN? WHAT HARM WOULD A STOP SIGN? CAUSE WHAT'S THE POTENTIAL DOWNSIDE? AND THERE'S REALLY NONE EXCEPT FOR THEIR, TO THEIR EXPERIENCE.
PEOPLE TEND TO, UM, IGNORE STOP SIGNS, OR BASICALLY THEY ROLL THROUGH STOP SIGNS.
SO THEY'RE, WHAT THEY'RE SAYING, AND I'M JUST REPEATING BACK WHAT THEY SAY, WHAT THEY SAID IS THAT IT, IT GIVES A PEDESTRIAN A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY AND SEEING THAT THERE'S A STOP SIGN AND A CROSSWALK.
UM, SO THEN WE SAID, WE TALKED ABOUT, WELL, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE BOTH, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE A STOP SIGN AND THIS PUSH BUTTON, IT'S ONE OR THE OTHER, RIGHT? SO AS WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IT, JUST LOOKING AT THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S REQUIRED FOR THIS PUSH BUTTON, STARTED TO THINK, WELL, THERE'S GOING TO BE A PROJECT IN THE FUTURE, BUT WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING THAT'S FAIRLY IMMEDIATE THAT, YOU KNOW, AS FAST AS, AS, AS SOON AS WE CAN.
SO THEY DIDN'T SAY, ABSOLUTELY, YES, WE, YOU KNOW, THE STOP SIGN IS THE RIGHT WAY TO GO.
BUT THEY ACTUALLY, THEY DIDN'T SAY NO
SO WHAT THEY'RE THINKING IS THAT THERE MIGHT BE A PLAN TO PUT A STOP SIGN IN, UM, AND WE CAN VOTE FOR THAT IF WE WANT TO.
THERE'S NOTHING TO SAY THAT WE CAN'T DO THAT.
AND, UM, IT WOULDN'T BE ADDING DANGER.
THAT'S ALSO SOMETHING THAT THEY WOULD, THAT THEY SAID, THEY JUST THINK THAT THIS MEASURE, THESE MEASURES WOULD BE MORE EFFECTIVE.
SO WHAT THEY WERE TALKING, THINKING ABOUT IS THAT WE COULD, AS A BOARD DECIDE TO PUT IN STOP SIGNS NOW OR AT ANY TIME WE WANT.
AND, AND, AND, AND INCLUDING SOME OF THE, THE, UH, TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES LIKE THE, THE SPEED CUSHIONS AND, UM, THE, OBVIOUSLY THE CHANGING THE CROSSWALK AND THEN THE, UM, I FORGOT WHAT THEY'RE CALLED, BUT THE RO THE, THE PLACE, THE, THE CURB CUT WHERE YOU LAND, EVEN THOUGH THERE'S NO CURB THERE.
SO THOSE TYPES OF MEASURES COULD BE IMPLEMENTED FAIRLY INEXPENSIVELY AND FAIRLY QUICKLY, AND THEY COULD MONITOR IT OVER TIME AND THEN INCORPORATE AN ADDITIONAL MEASURES IN THE FUTURE WHEN WE'RE DOING THE ACTUAL RAVENSDALE PROJECT, SO THAT IF THERE'S MORE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S NEEDED.
[01:25:01]
SO THEN AT, AT THAT POINT, THE DISCUSSION TURNED TO KENT.'CAUSE THERE'S AN, THERE'S ALREADY A STOP SIGN AT KENT, AND I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY'S TRIED TO CROSS WHERE THAT STOP SIGN IS, BUT I, I DO THAT FAIRLY OFTEN AND IT'S SIGNIFICANTLY EASIER TO CROSS A KENT THAN IT IS TO CROSS AT ROSEDALE.
AND IT'S BECAUSE OF THE STOP SIGN.
SO THE STOP SIGN WORKED, LIKE, YES, IT ABSOLUTELY WORKS, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE FACT THAT KENT IS A THREE-WAY STOP? RIGHT? I MEAN, IS THAT NOT, THEY WERE ALSO, THEY, THEY WERE KIND OF INTERESTED TO, AS TO WHY THERE ISN'T A FOUR-WAY STOP THERE AND WANTED TO ACTUALLY THINK ABOUT STUDYING THAT AS WELL.
AND SO THE, THE REQUEST FROM THEM WAS TO SEE WHAT THE BOARD THINKS TONIGHT ABOUT STUDYING KENT TO FOUR, FOUR-WAY STOP, AND HOW MUCH SIGNAGE YOU'D NEED UP THE HILL TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU DON'T REAR END SOMEBODY, UM, WHO STOPPED AT THAT LIGHT.
AND IF IT, IF THE KENT, UM, STOP SIGN, THAT KIND OF CONFIGURATION ACTUALLY PROBABLY NEEDS, IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A STOP AHEAD SIGN.
BUT THERE'S SORT OF THAT TYPE OF CONFIGURATION IN ADDITION TO SOME OTHER MEASURES WOULD MAKE SENSE AS AN, AS AN EITHER INTERIM OR PERMANENT CONDITION AT ROSEDALE AND RAVENSDALE.
DID I LEAVE SOMETHING OUT? NO, I THINK THAT SUMS IT UP, UH, QUITE WELL.
I THINK NO MATTER WHAT WE DO, THERE NEEDS TO BE SUCH A PUSH OF ENFORCEMENT MM-HMM
THAT DID COME UP AT THE MEETING ALSO.
UM, HOW, AND, AND WE DO, UH, WE DO USE OUR SPEED, UM, WHAT, WHAT THEY'RE CALLING SPEED, UH, COUNTERS OR SOMETHING.
UH, WE DO PUT THOSE THERE, BUT THEY'RE IN HIGH DEMAND THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE VILLAGE.
SO, UM, AND, AND WE CAN CERTAINLY, IT'S A SOMETHING ROAD ROAD.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A HARD ROAD FOR ENFORCEMENT BECAUSE THERE'S NOT A LOT OF PLACES FOR THE POLICE OFFICERS TO SAFELY YEAH.
YOU KNOW, KIND OF, UM, BUT THEY, THEY DO HAVE SPOTS WHERE THEY, WHERE THEY CAN USE IT.
BUT I, I, I THINK THE BOARD SHOULD ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT, YOU KNOW, A STOP SIGN IS BASICALLY ADOPTING LEGISLATION THAT SAYS WE'RE PUTTING A STOP SIGN HERE AND, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY HAVING DPW INSTALL IT.
SO IT'S REALLY NOT A, SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THIS PROPOSAL WOULD BE A MUCH LONGER TERM, LARGER PROJECT, MAYBE ADDED TO THE LONGER TERM PROJECT, BUT THE STOP SIGN WOULD BE A MORE IMMEDIATE FIX TO AN IDENTIFIED CONCERN.
AND IT'S A FOUR FOUR-WAY STOP FOR THIS.
I MEAN, I
AND I'M SURPRISED THAT YOU THINK IT'S, FEELS SAFER TO CROSS THERE BECAUSE I, I THINK PEOPLE CAN BUZZ UP.
I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT YOU, BUT I THINK IT'S SUPER WEIRD THAT IT'S NOT FOUR WAY, BUT IT IS MORE EFFECTIVE THAN, THAN, THAN THE TWO-WAY STOP THAT EXISTS FOR SOMEONE THAT'S GOING THAT WAY EASTBOUND.
BUT IF, IF YOU'RE TRYING TO CROSS THE STREET AND SOMEONE COMES UP AROUND THAT CURVE WESTBOUND, IT'S A LITTLE TERRIFYING.
IT'S AT LEAST, AT LEAST SOMEBODY STOPPED AND LESS IF I'M GOING THAT WAY.
SO, SO, AND I DO, I AGREE WITH YOU THAT IT'S WEIRD, BUT IT IS MORE, MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE.
'CAUSE I LIVED HERE WHEN THERE WAS NO STOP SIGN THERE.
IT'S MUCH, IT'S, IT'S SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED FROM THE ZERO STOP SIGN ON THE ON RAVENSDALE.
IF THIS, IF THIS ENGINEER CAN, CAN JUSTIFY A FOUR WAY STOP, I'M ALL FOR IT.
AND, AND TRUSTEE FLEISIG AND I CAN SAY THAT WE WILL PUT A SIGN ON IT HONORING TRUSTEE, FORMER TRUSTEE LOPEZ
AND THE TWO OF US KEPT SAYING, WHY CAN'T WE DO IT? AND, AND I THINK IT, IT'S, IT'S DUE TIME AND I DON'T WANT TO KEEP WASTING TIME ON THIS.
SO LET'S JUST MOVE FORWARD AND CAN I JUST ASK ONE QUESTION? YEP.
THE CORNER OF BRANFORD AND RAVENSDALE, THAT CORNER IS, THERE IS NO SIDEWALK.
SO, BUT THERE'S NOT EVEN A LANDING PAD THIS PROPOSAL.
SO WOULD THIS, I'M, SO IT'S SORT OF HARD FOR ME TO TELL.
WOULD IT CREATE A SPOT TO STAND YES.
TO? WAIT, WELL WE HAVE AND THEN AL IS THAT, SORRY, AHEAD.
I'M JUST, WE'D HAVE TO INCORPORATE THAT.
IT'S KIND OF JUST HARD FOR ME TO SEE.
IS THAT, IS THAT WHAT IT INCORPORATES? WE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE SOME OF THESE RECOMMENDATIONS, I THINK MM-HMM
AND INCORPORATE IT WITH STOP SIGNS.
UM, MY QUESTION, MY ONE QUESTION TO THE VILLAGE MANAGER OR UH, TO TRUSTEE ALLEY.
THE CROSSWALK ON ROSEDALE, THAT'S ONLY GONNA BE CONTINGENT ON US DOING THE SIDEWALK PROJECT ON ROSEDALE.
BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THAT JUST GOES TO A YARD.
UH, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S WHAT WHATEVER WE CHOOSE.
THE, THE, THE CONCERN THAT WAS RAISED CONSIST, UH, SEVERAL TIMES AT THE SAFETY COUNCIL WASN'T CROSSING ROSEDALE, IT WAS CROSSING RAVENSDALE.
I'M, I'M JUST SAYING LIKE RIGHT NOW THEY HAVE A PROPOSED CROSSWALK TO SOMEBODY'S YARD.
I THINK, I MEAN, LET'S ASSUMING SO NOW PUT THE CROSSWALK, YOU HAVE TO PUT A LANDING PAD AT AT THE LEASE.
BUT I'M SAYING I DON'T USE A SIDEWALK.
[01:30:01]
BOTH SIDES COULD DO NOW, OR IT WOULD HAVE TO, WE CAN DO IT AT ANY TOUGH POINT IN TIME.THINK THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE TO DO LATER WHEN WE DO THE SIDEWALK PROJECT.
I THINK WE, I'M TOLD THAT BY LAW WHEN WE HAVE THE CROSSWALK, WE ACTUALLY HAVE TO HAVE THE LANDING PAD.
SO WE WOULD NEED TO INSTALL THE LANDING PAD AND PERHAPS, I THINK THEY MIGHT BE SUGGESTING TO IMPROVE THE LANDING PAD ON THE OTHER SIDE.
SO YOU'D END UP WITH A CROSSWALK LEADING TO TWO, TWO IMPROVED LANDING PADS.
SO I THINK EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE IN AGREEMENT WITH MOVING FORWARD WITH DOING A FOUR-WAY STOP AT THAT LOCATION.
AND WE'RE GONNA ASK CREIGHTON MANNING TO RESEARCH ADDING A STOP SIGN AT KENT.
FOR A FOURTH STOP ZONE AT KENT, ARE WE INCLUDING THE CUSHIONS? I THINK WE SHOULD.
I THINK, I THINK THE CUSHIONS ARE GOOD.
AND THE SIGNAGE WARNING PEOPLE, THERE'S A CUSHION COMING WITH AND THE SIGN SIGN CUSHION.
SORRY, BUT THE, BUT WE'RE NOT ADDING CHIEF OF POLICE.
BUT WE'RE NOT ADDING THE PADS, ARE WE? NO, YOU SAID THE CUSHIONS, THOSE ARE QUESTION CUSHION ARE THE PADS.
SO WE, WE, SO WE ARE ADDING THOSE.
IT'S A, THAT'S THE QUESTION WE HAVE TO LOOK AT.
THOSE WANT TO LOOK AT, I WANNA SEE, I'M CURIOUS BECAUSE THE WIDTH OF AN AMBULANCE IS THE SAME WIDTH OF THE FIRETRUCK.
SO I'M NOT SURE HOW THESE, I DON'T SEE HOW, LET'S LOOK AT THAT.
LET'S RESEARCH THAT SOME MORE.
STUDY THAT SOME MORE BECAUSE I'M A LITTLE BIT WORRIED THAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY GONNA GO FLYING ALL OVER THE PLACE.
I DON'T LIKE TEMPORARY STRUCTURES LIKE THAT.
IF YOU DRIVE INTO THE BACK OF FOOD TOWN NOW THAT'S, IT'S ALL OVER THE PLACE.
THAT, THAT'S WHAT I'M IMAGINING.
SO LET'S, LET'S BE CAREFUL ABOUT THAT.
SO I THINK I WOULD SAY LET'S MOVE FORWARD.
THE, THE, SORRY YOU WERE ABOUT, YOU WERE PROBABLY ABOUT TO SAY IT.
UM, THE ONE QUESTION I HAD FOR VILLAGE MANAGER MURPHY, YOU HAD SAID, OR SOMEBODY HAD SOME SAID SOMETHING ABOUT CHANGING THE ANGLE OF THE TURN.
IS THAT PUSHING OUT IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THAT PROPERTY, YEAH.
BUT THAT ALSO IS, IS SOMETHING THAT CAN WAIT UNTIL THE, YOU KNOW, THE, THE BIG RAVENSDALE PROJECT AND, AND, UH, AND ROSEDALE PROJECT.
LET'S, LET'S TRY TO FOCUS ON GETTING THIS, OKAY.
THIS THE, THE CROSSING OF, OF OF RAVENSDALE, WHICH IS THE, THE REAL ISSUE.
WE NEED TO DO LOCAL LAWS TO PUT THEM IN THE CODE.
WE'RE NOT ADDING A STOP SIGN YET AT KENT.
WE'RE GONNA ASK CREATE MEANING TO RESEARCH THAT.
AND I THINK WITH PROPER SIGNAGE, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
'CAUSE IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME EITHER.
OBVIOUSLY THE, THE VILLAGE WISDOM IS THAT PEOPLE ARE GONNA REAR END PEOPLE IF WE PUT A STOP SIGN ON.
BUT I ALSO THINK THAT IF YOU REAR END SOMEBODY, IT'S YOUR FAULT.
I FEEL LIKE THAT'S UP TO CREIGHTON MANNING TO HOW DO THEY MAKE IT SAFER.
WELL ALSO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, UM, TRUSTEE ALL SAID IS WHY NOT YOU CAN PUT SIGNAGE WARNING AHEAD OF STOP SIGN IS COMING MM-HMM
SO, UM, YOU KNOW, A HUNDRED PERCENT.
UM, SO THE OTHER, UH, HANG ON.
AND THEN WE'RE GONNA BE GETTING A DESIGN THING.
UM, SO IF WE COULD JUST MOVE TO, UH, THIS IS, UM, MAIN STREET.
I THAT IS, THAT'S MAIN STREET AT WAR BURTON.
UH, THAT'S, THEY'RE ACTUALLY PROPOSING THAT WE HAVE STOP SIGNS AT MAIN STREET AND WARBURTON THAT WE DO A, A PILOT PERIOD WHERE WE COVER THE, UM, THE TRAFFIC LIGHT THAT'S THERE.
AND WE MAKE IT AN ALWAYS STOP FOR 90 DAY PERIOD AND, AND SEE WHETHER OR NOT STOP SIGNS AS OPPOSED TO THE TRAFFIC LIGHT THAT'S THERE ARE, UH, MORE EFFECTIVE.
HOW WOULD THEY MEASURE THAT EFFECTIVENESS? UM, THEY, I GUESS BY OBSERVATION AND, YOU KNOW, THE POWER OF OBSERVATION
BUT WHO IS GONNA BE THE OBSERVER OTHER THAN MR. SKOLNIK PERIODS OF TIME? WHO IS GONNA OBSERVE IT? AND IT'S, IT'S A 90 DAY, THEY SAY A 90 DAY PERIOD, BUT THEY'VE ALREADY THE OBSERVING ONE HOUR A DAY FOR 90 DAYS.
ARE THEY DOING WELL, WE, MAYBE IT'S A CAMERA THAT CAN, WE HAVE TO, CAN OUT INSTALL A CAMERA IN THE LOCATION THAT'S TEMPORARY AS PROBABLY CAMERA ALREADY.
WE LOCATION HAVE CAMERAS, BUT, UM, THEY'VE ALREADY LOOKED AT IT AND THEY, THEY THINK THAT THE, YOU KNOW, THE M-M-M-M-U-C-T-D OR WHATEVER IT IS, UH, WARRANT'S CHANGING IT TO STOP SIGN.
SO THEY HAVEN'T JUST SAID, LET'S JUST, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO GIVE US A TRY.
PLEASE GO BACK TO THEM THOUGH ABOUT THE STOP SIGN ON WAR BURTON ON THE NORTH SIDE, BECAUSE THAT'S THE BUS TURN AREA.
WE HAD AN EXTENSIVE CONVERSATION ABOUT THAT.
UM, YOU KNOW, THIS AFTERNOON AS WELL.
THIS MIGHT SOUND THEY'RE GOING TO STUDY IT.
SO I'M JUST GONNA AGAIN, REPEAT WHAT THEY SAID.
SO THAT THE, THE SOUTHBOUND LANE ON WAR BURTON IS, UH, EXTRA WIDE
[01:35:01]
BECAUSE THERE USED TO BE PARKING THERE.AND WHAT THEY'RE THINKING IS THAT MAYBE IF THEY SHIFTED THAT LANE OVER, THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR THE BUSES TO TURN.
BUT THERE'S SOFTWARE THAT THEY CAN STUDY THAT WITH.
AND THEY'RE GOING TO GET BACK TO VILLAGE MANAGER WITH, UM, SO MORE, WHEN YOU SAY SHIFTED OVER, YOU MEAN WESTWARDS? YES.
PART OF THE ISSUE THERE THOUGH IS I'VE SEEN DELIVERY TRUCKS.
SO THEN IT GIVES YOU A LITTLE SPACE TO GET AROUND THEM IF YOU'RE RUNNING SOUTHBOUND, IF YOU'RE DRIVING SOUTHBOUND ON WARBURTON.
UH, SO IF A DELIVERY TRUCK IS STOPPED IN FRONT OF ONE OF THE BUSINESSES, UM, 'CAUSE THEY CAN'T FIND A SPOT ANYWHERE ELSE WHERE THAT COMMERCIAL ZONE IS TAKEN, AND NOW WE'RE NARROWING THE LANE.
NOW WE'RE REALLY LIMITING A PASSING OF, WE DID MENTION THAT AS WELL, THAT THERE WOULD HAVE TO BE THE ABILITY TO GET PAST SOMEBODY WHO STOPPED AND THEN THE PLACE WHERE THEY ABSOLUTELY COULD NOT STOP.
'CAUSE THE LANE WOULD'VE TO SHIFT OVER.
WHY CAN WE JUST INSIST THAT ALL DELIVERIES HAPPEN AT THE REAR? RIGHT.
LIKE IT'S, I ABOUT TO SAY THAT
AND THE PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS, WE OBVIOUSLY WOULDN'T PUT UP DURING THE TEMPORARY TIME.
THEY'RE, WE'D IMPROVE THEM, UH, IN THE FUTURE.
IS THERE FOR ALL, FOR ALL THREE THERE? YES, THERE ARE.
CURRENTLY AND CROSSING GUARD DURING SCHOOL.
SO THAT'S THE, FOR THE NEXT ONE IS, UM, BOLLINGER PLAZA.
UH, AND UH, THEY'RE RECOMMENDING THAT WE PUT A CROSSING AT THE EASTERN EDGE OF BOLLINGER PLAZA, UH, CLOSE TO A BREAD AND BRINE THERE.
UM, WE WOULD LOSE PROBABLY THREE PARKING SPACES ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF MAIN STREET WITH THIS, UH, ARRANGEMENT.
BUT, UM, THEY FELT THAT THAT WAS THE BEST PLACE TO PUT IT, MAINLY BECAUSE, UM, THE, UH, THERE WERE SOME UTILITIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT WERE IN THE WAY.
THEY ALSO RECOMMENDED REMOVING THE BRICK AND, UH, MAKING IT CONCRETE.
HOW ABOUT THAT? I DON'T, I DON'T, I I THINK THEY SAID THAT, BUT I DON'T THINK THEY RECOMMENDED IT WAS THIS, IT HAD TO HAPPEN.
WAS THIS RAISED BY SOMEONE, UH, HAVING A CROSSWALK AT THIS LOCATION? I, I DON'T RECALL.
LIKE, DID SOMEBODY COME AND SAY THAT THEY THINK WE NEED TO HAVE IT? I I I FEEL LIKE THIS IS STEMMING OUT.
THIS WAS PART OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE LAST, FROM THE ORIGINAL DAY.
IT WAS A BUT WE DIDN'T HAVE A COMMUNITY CONCERN ON THIS LIKE WE DID AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
A LOT OF PEOPLE CROSSED THERE THOUGH.
WE'RE GONNA DO A THREE, FOUR WAY STOP DOWN AT THE END NOW, WHICH WILL, I THINK ACTUALLY CALM THINGS DOWN AT THAT INTERSECTION TOO.
I FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD POSTPONE THIS ONE AND DO THE OTHER TWO FIRST.
I'D RATHER FOCUS MORE ON THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
AND I MEAN, 'CAUSE HONESTLY, VILLAGE MANAGER, I, WHEN I'VE LOOKED AT THIS, I'VE SORT OF WONDERED WHY, WHY IT WOULDN'T JUST BE AT THE MIDDLE OF THE, THE BELLINGER PLUS.
I THOUGHT THAT WE HAD, IT'S BETTER THAN WHAT THE ORIGINAL PROPOSAL WAS.
AND THERE'S A LOCK THERE, A LIGHT POST THERE WE HAD SAID COULD BE ACCESSED IF ANY ELECTRICAL.
AND I MEAN, HONESTLY, PEOPLE THERE, THEY'RE GONNA RUN ACROSS THE STREET ANY WHICH WAY THEY WANT TO, REGARDLESS OF WHERE WE PUT THAT.
IT'S NOT GONNA YEAH, NO, REGARDLESS, THAT'S TRUE.
REGARDLESS OF WHERE YOU PUT THE CROSSWALK, THEY'RE GONNA, IF THEY'RE GOING, YOU KNOW, TO SLICES, THEY'RE GONNA GO THAT THAT WAY AND ET CETERA, ET CETERA.
SO, UM, WE CAN WE CAN TABLE THIS ONE FOR, FOR NOW.
UM, I THINK WHEN THEY WERE, WHEN THERE'S PAID PARKING, IT WAS A LITTLE MORE FUNNELED TO WHERE THE MACHINES WERE, WHERE PEOPLE THEN DISTRIBUTE.
BUT NOW IT WITH NO PEOPLE ARE JUST COMING RIGHT FROM THEIR VEHICLES.
UM, AND THIS IS THE, UH, RECOMMENDATION, UH, FOR THE, UH, JHCC.
THE, FORTUNATELY THE, THE LIGHT THAT EXISTS THERE, UH, WILL ACCOMMODATE THE, THE, WHAT WE WANNA DO, WHICH IS MAKE A, MAKE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A, THERE'LL BE A BUTTON FOR PEOPLE TO PUSH.
IT'LL MAKE THE LIGHT TURN RED AND THEY'LL BE ABLE TO CROSS THE STREET.
UM, WE HAD A, UH, THAT'S KIND OF JUST TO THE, JUST NEAR THE EASTERN END OF THE, UH, AMBULANCE AND GOING OVER TO THE, UH, WESTERN END OF THE, OF THE HOOK AND LADDER.
UH, WE TALKED ABOUT HOW, HOW THE, THE CROSSING ITSELF COULD BE DELINEATED FROM THE HATCH MARKS THAT ARE THERE FOR THE, FOR THE FIRE AND, AND EMERGENCY VEHICLES.
UM, SO, UH, WE'D HAVE TO PROBABLY HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT HATCHING.
THE, THE, THERE NEEDS TO NOT BE HATCHING IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE, THE
[01:40:01]
CROSSING.I THOUGHT THEY SAID, I THOUGHT THAT ONE OF SOMEBODY ELSE ON THAT TEAM SAID THAT WASN'T NECESSARY BECAUSE THE STOP LIGHT WOULD ALREADY KEEP YOU BACK AWAY FROM THE CROSSWALK.
I THOUGHT THAT WAS WHERE THEY LEFT IT.
THAT YOU COULD ACTUALLY JUST HAVE THIS LOOK LIKE THAT AND WHAT'S ON THE SCREEN.
AND THEN, UM, YOU SEE THE BLACK LINES.
WELL, YOU WOULDN'T SEE, YOU WOULDN'T SEE BECAUSE THAT THOSE BLACK LINES WOULD BE WHITE.
BUT THAT BE AT DIFFERENT ANGLES.
BUT I'M SAYING THE, THE SOLID LINES ON EITHER SIDE IS WHERE THE CARS ACTUALLY STOPPED.
SO THE CARS ARE STOPPED MUCH FARTHER AWAY THAN THEY USUALLY ARE FROM A CROSSWALK.
I, I MEAN, MY RECOLLECTION IS THAT THEY SAID THAT THERE WOULD NEED TO BE SOME, SOME DELINEATION OF WHERE THE CROSSWALK ACTUALLY IS.
I REMEMBER HIM SAYING SIGN SOMEBODY ELSE ELSE.
WHY NOT SIGNAGE THERE SHOWING THAT IT'S CROSSWALK.
AND SIGNAGE WAS SOMETHING THEY RECOMMENDED AS WELL.
BUT THEY HAVE IT IN THE OTHER ONES, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE IT IN THIS.
YOU NOTICE THAT THEY, THEY, THEY DO INCLUDE SIGNAGE IN THE OTHER DIAGRAMS THAT WE JUST LOOKED AT, BUT THEY HAVE IT WAY UP THERE THAT JUST SAYS STOP AND RED.
I THINK THEY'RE SAYING PEDESTRIAN.
I DON'T THAT IT WAS, IT WAS INTENTIONALLY LEFT OUT.
THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SIGNAGE WHERE YOU HAVE WHERE AND THERE'LL BE A LANDING PAD.
SO YOU'LL KNOW THAT THAT'S A CROSSWALK.
LANDINGS BOTH SIDES IF YOU'RE WALKING.
I HAVE A REALLY LUDICROUS QUESTION, WHICH IS, GO FOR IT.
I, I GET THAT THE CROSSWALK IS EXACTLY PERPENDICULAR TO THE CENTER LINE OF THE STREET, BUT IS THERE ANY REASON WHY THEY CAN'T JUST ALIGN IT WITH A FLAGPOLE? SO LIKE, WHEN YOU'RE CROSSING THE STREET, YOU JUST ALIGN WITH A FLAGPOLE.
IS THERE A DESIRE FOR THAT? SO THE, THE ISSUE WOULD BE, IS IT, IS IT LIKE AESTHETICALLY BETTER IF IT'S LINED WITH THE FLAGPOLE? IT'S LINEAR.
I MEAN, LIKE I SAID, IT WAS LUDICROUS, BUT YEAH, IF I WAS CROSSING THE STREET, I WOULD RATHER BE LOOKING RIGHT AT THE AMERICAN FLAG THAN LIKE, WHY AM I BEING FORCED TO WALK LIKE TWO FEET TO THE LEFT OF THE AMERICAN FLAG? UM, SO LET ME, LET ME CHECK BEFORE I ANSWER.
BUT I THINK IT STILL WOULDN'T BE ON.
IT WOULD BE ON, IT WOULD STILL BE OFF.
IT WOULD BE WHY IT WOULD, BUT IT WOULD BE FOLLOWING THE SLOPE OF THE STREET.
IT'S THAT IF YOU GO PAST THE RETAINING WALL OR IT'S NOT RETAINING ANYTHING, THE WALL OF THE AMBULANCE CENTER, THEN YOU'RE INTO THEIR CURB CUT.
HE'S NOT SUGGESTING CHANGING THAT INITIATION POINT.
HE'S SAYING, SAYING THE ENDING.
SWING IT AROUND ON THE FIREHOUSE SIDE.
CAN YOU JUST, AND THAT'S, IT WOULD BE ANGLED.
AS LONG, THAT'S AS LONG AS, AND, AND THERE WASN'T, AND THERE WASN'T, UM, A NEED FOR, WHAT IS IT CALLED? LIKE THE BUMP OUTS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? NO, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WOULD PROBABLY, NO, THEY DIDN'T, I GUESS THEY COULDN'T TURN.
THEY WOULD'VE A PROBLEM WITH THAT.
SO WE'LL MOVE AHEAD WITH THIS, THESE TWO DESIGNS AND NOT THE BOLLINGER.
AND THAT, WHAT'S THE TIMEFRAME ON THESE? UM, WELL I HAVE ASKED THEM TO, THEY, THEY, THEY TOLD ME THEY THOUGHT BY THE, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE, UH, BID DOCUMENTS TOGETHER BY THE END OF AUGUST.
AND THEN WE DID IT OUT ASKING THEM TO STOP DOCUMENTING ANOTHER MONTH AND THEN, AND DONE.
WE'LL GET IT DONE BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR.
WHAT ABOUT THE ROSEDALE AT THE, WHAT'S THE TIMEFRAME ON THOSE ROSEDALE? UM, WE, WE ARE, WE, WE HAVE TO SUBMIT THAT TO THE DOT.
I WASN'T CLEAR ABOUT THE STOP SIGNS AND WHAT WE'RE, WE'LL HAVE TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING STOP SIGNS.
I'M GONNA, I'M GONNA PUT A PUBLIC, WE'LL PUT IT ON THE NEXT AGENDA TO SCHEDULE A PUBLIC HEARING.
UM, ALSO, UM, JUST FOR THIS, UM, DO WE KNOW, SO THE UM, THE TRAFFIC LIGHT WHEN NO ONE IS CROSSING IS WILL BE GREEN OR WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL BE THE, THE DEFAULT IT'LL BE THE WAY IT IS NOW.
WHAT WILL BE THE DEFAULT? YEAH.
JUST PLAIN GREEN, NOT FLASHING YELLOW OR ANYTHING.
I MEAN, I MEAN, I GUESS IT'S SOMETHING WE COULD THINK ABOUT, BUT I KNOW THE SAFETY COUNCIL ASKED IF IT COULD GO TO LIKE A BLINKING YELLOW, BUT WE CAN, WE CAN ASK THAT.
WELL, WE, AND THAT'S PROBABLY SOMETHING WE CAN, AND WHAT, WHAT IS THE TIMEFRAME OF THEM BEING ABLE TO MANUFACTURE THAT LIGHT TO DO? I DON'T, SO HAVE TO CONSIDER THAT TOO.
JUST SEE HOW LONG THAT'S GONNA TAKE.
SO THERE, THERE IS A CATCH BASIN THERE, MORGAN, BUT IT, IT'LL TOTALLY FIT THE, THE CURB CUT WHICH FIT BEFORE THE CATCH BASIN.
AND THAT'S WHAT I HAD FOR TODAY.
UNLESS YOU HAVE A SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.
UM, WE'VE BEEN WAITING ANYBODY WHO HAS BEEN DOWN TO THE TRAIN STATION RECENTLY MM-HMM
AND SEE THAT THE MTA SIDEWALK ONLY TOOK FIVE, WELL, SLIGHTLY LESS THAN FIVE YEARS, FOUR YEARS, AND 11 MONTHS OH MY GOSH.
[01:45:01]

[XIII. PUBLIC COMMENTS]
COMMENTS.YOU GOT SOMEBODY AHEAD OF YOU ON THIS ONE.
I JUST A POINT OF CLARIFICATION, 'CAUSE SOMETHING HAPPENED HERE EARLIER TONIGHT THAT I'M STILL MIND BOGGLED ABOUT.
I BELIEVE THIS BOARD VOTED TO ELIMINATE METER PARKING THROUGHOUT THE DOWNTOWN.
UM, ALSO, I WANT TO URGE YOU NOW TO APPROACH ALBANY AND GET US RESIDENTIAL PARKING STICKERS, BECAUSE FOLKS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD ARE NOT GONNA PLAY PLAY MUSICAL CARS THREE TIMES A DAY, EVERY THREE HOURS.
BUT THANKS VERY MUCH FOR DOING THAT, AND I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL, UH, BARBARA KING, 93 KEN AVENUE.
I WANNA THANK THE BOARD FOR, UM, HEARING THE ISSUE WITH THE FOUR-WAY STOP SIGN.
UM, I WAS AWAY IN JUNE AND I HEARD THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT WITH TWO VEHICLES AT THAT INTERSECTION AND THERE WERE MINOR INJURIES.
I, I DON'T KNOW THE DETAILS, BUT IT WAS VERY, UM, UH, DISTURBING TO HEAR THAT THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT.
UM, AND JUST EVEN MORE HIGHLIGHTING THE NEED FOR, UM, MORE, YOU KNOW, THE STOP SIGNS OR SOME, SOME BETTER PRECAUTIONS.
UM, I, I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T HEAR.
WHEN WILL THEY BE INSTALLED OR WHAT? IS THERE A TIME WHEN YOU, WE HAVE TO FIRST HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING ON IT, SO WE WILL INITIATE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT THE NEXT MEETING, UH, WHICH THEN WILL BE HELD 30 DAYS LATER.
RIGHT? IT WOULD HAVE TO BE, WE ONLY HAVE ONE MEETING IN AUGUST.
SO IT WOULD BEGIN THEN IN, IN SEPTEMBER.
WELL WE, THE SECOND MEETING IN SEPTEMBER COULD BE THE FIRST.
WE'LL SEE, BUT HOPEFULLY WE'LL HAVE APPROVAL AT ONE OF THE MEETINGS IN SEPTEMBER, I'M GUESSING PROBABLY THE SECOND MEETING IN SEPTEMBER.
SO THEN WE WOULD, THEN WE COULD ADOPT, THE VILLAGE MANAGER WOULD THEN WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO ADOPT IT BY THE SECOND MEETING.
AND THEN THE VILLAGE MANAGER WOULD INSTRUCT THE DPW TO, TO START GETTING GOING.
SO, AND THEN AFTER THAT, THE PROPOSAL THAT WE SAW, UM, ARE THEY GONNA DO ALL THOSE THINGS? THE, UH, WHAT DO THEY CALL THE, THE CUSHIONS AND THE YIELD? THAT'S STILL YET TO BE DETERMINED.
I THINK WE ALL NEED OH, THAT'S TRUE.
WE ALL WANNA DO SOME RESEARCH.
I THINK WE CAN DISCUSS THAT DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING.
AND, AND MAKE MODIFICATIONS TO THAT THEN.
AND, UH, FINALLY THAT, LIKE THE YIELD, UM, SIGN.
I'M NOT QUITE CERTAIN HOW THAT WORKS.
YOU PRESS A BUTTON AND IS IT, THAT'S A SEPARATE PROJECT, RIGHT? WITH, SO ONE WOULD BE A FOUR WAY STOP.
THE OTHER WOULD BE THIS MORE ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY PROJECT.
AND I THINK WHAT WE'RE, SO IT WOULDN'T BE A PART OF IT.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT JUST DOING THE FOUR WAY STOP.
[01:55:01]
I'M JUST CURIOUS WHAT THAT IDEA WAS ABOUT.LIKE, UM, WHAT, WHAT THAT ACTUALLY DID.
I, I DIDN'T QUITE, IT WAS GONNA HAVE SIGNAGE THAT WOULD HAVE THE BLINKING LIGHTS.
SO THEN WHEN A CAR APPROACHED, THEY WOULD KNOW THAT THERE'S A PEDESTRIAN ENTERING THE CROSSWALK BECAUSE THE BUTTON INITIATED THOSE LIGHTS.
SO THAT'S STILL ON THE TABLE IN THE FUTURE? POSSIBLY.
MAYBE, BUT RIGHT NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT SHOULD BE DETERMINED NOT DOING THAT AND DOING STOP SIGNS.
AND ALSO, I HAVE TO AGREE, I LIVE ON KENT AND I CROSS RAVENSDALE.
THE THREE-WAY STOP AS A DRIVER AND A PEDESTRIAN.
IT IS, YOU KNOW, VERY DANGEROUS THAT INTERSECTION.
AND I KNOW IT'S BEEN A TRICKY ONE WITH THE HILL GOING UP, YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHY THERE WAS NEVER A STOP SIGN PUT THERE.
SO, UM, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE SOLUTION IS, BUT I GUESS THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER.
BUT, UM, AGAIN, THANK YOU ALL FOR THE WORK YOU'RE DOING ON THIS INTERSECTION TO MAKE IT SAFER FOR EVERYONE.
IT'S FUNNY, I DROVE ALL THROUGH THE CATSKILLS THIS WEEKEND AND THERE WERE PLENTY OF STOP SIGNS AROUND CURVES AND IT SAID STOP SIGN AHEAD.
I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHY THE VILLAGE IS HAVING SO MUCH TROUBLE WITH THIS INTERSECTION.
SO I'LL TRY TO RUN THROUGH THIS FIRST.
'CAUSE I THINK IF I LISTENED TO MY COMMENT LAST TIME, I PROMISED THAT I WOULD GIVE YOU SOME STUFF IN WRITING AND I DIDN'T.
SO YOU'RE KIND OF OFF THE HOOK.
SO THERE IS SOMETHING ONGOING THAT, UH, I WOULD, UH, WITH REGARD TO DEER THAT WILL PROBABLY BE COMING UP AGAIN.
I THINK MY ASSUMPTION IS THAT THE FIRST PART OF THAT PROCESS IS GONNA BE THE GENTLEMAN DOING THE STUDIES.
SO UNLESS, UNLESS THERE'S AN IMMINENT, UM, CALL, UH, THAT'S SCHEDULED.
CAN YOU CONFIRM THAT? IN FACT, THAT'S GONNA BE THE FIRST PART OF THE I AND WE'VE ALREADY APPROVED, UH, I KNOW WHAT YOU APPROVED FOR THIS TO OCCUR.
I'M SURE THE SCHEDULE IS WHAT I'M ASKING ABOUT, UH, THAT THAT'LL BE RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC.
THAT'S NOT GONNA BE A HIDDEN THING.
SO, UH, I DON'T THINK WE HAVE AN ACTUAL SCHEDULE YET FOR IT.
HE'S ALSO DEALING WITH OTHER COMMUNITIES THAT HE WORKS WITH.
SO I, I THINK WE WOULD HAVE TO FIT INTO WHERE THEY ARE.
UH, I, I'LL GET YOU, UH, LATER ON THAT, UM, HEARD.
CAN I ASK THAT, UH, I'VE HAD SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE, UH, SCHEDULES FOR CLIMATE SMART AND, UH, MORE, MORE SO CLIMATE SMART THAN THE COMP PLAN, UH, UPDATE.
BUT CAN THOSE COMMITTEES IN PARTICULAR TEND TO BE LESS VISIBLE? UH, AND ESPECIALLY BECAUSE CLIMATE SMART'S ACTUAL MEETINGS ARE HARD TO, UH, CATCH.
SO I'M JUST ASKING THAT BETWEEN THE BOARD AND ANYBODY ELSE, THAT IF THERE ARE MEETINGS COMING UP THAT THEY ARE ADEQUATELY NOTICED ALSO AS WELL, THE, UH, CANCELLATIONS WOULD ALSO BE HELPFUL TO KNOW.
UM, I ASKED BEFORE AND I'M REALLY, UM, A MEETING SOME KIND OF, UH, COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE BOARD AND THE SCHOOL AND THE POLICE COMING UP TO, UH, THE BEGINNING OF SCHOOL.
AGAIN, I KNOW IT'S KIND A TIGHT SCHEDULE, BUT I THINK IT'S URGENT, UH, THAT THERE BE A REAL FOCUSED EFFORT ON DEALING WITH THE TRAFFIC, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THE SCHOOL HAS ALREADY SAID THAT THERE'S GONNA BE ISSUES, UM, AROUND THAT.
SO IN WHATEVER WAY, YOU CAN BEGIN TO REACH OUT TO THE SCHOOL AND AT LEAST, UH, PROPOSE THAT THERE BE, YOU KNOW, A PROBLEM THAT WE, WE HAD A MEETING WITH DR.
MCCARTEY TODAY, UH, MYSELF AND THE VILLAGE MANAGER AND THE CHIEF OF POLICE, AND WE BROUGHT IT UP TODAY.
UH, AND IT WOULD INCLUDE TRUSTEE MERTON ALSO, AND WE'VE PUT IT NOW ON THEIR RADAR.
UH, I STILL, IN RESPONSE TO MY FIRST POINT ABOUT THE FARRAT PARKING, UH, I KNOW THAT YOU NOW THE ATTORNEY LOOKED AND SAW THAT THERE WAS THAT, UH, CONSISTENCY.
I'M STILL NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY THAT PARKING RESTRICTION IS THERE.
SO IF THERE'S SOMETHING, IF I WANTED TO PURSUE IT FURTHER, HOW DO I GO ABOUT ACTUALLY HAVING SOMEBODY LOOK AND SAY, WHY IS THIS PARKING THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE AVAILABLE FOR SCHOOL? I, YOU DON'T KNOW.
I'LL HAVE TO BRING IT, UH, KICK IT UPSTAIRS.
UM, OKAY, UH, TIMEFRAME FOR ANY OF THESE, UM, PROJECTS THAT YOU WERE WORKING ON, IS THERE, UM, ANY OF THE, IS IT POSSIBLE THAT ANY OF THE CREIGHTON MANNING STUFF WOULD BE HAPPENING IN THE INTERIM BETWEEN NOW AND THE NEXT, UH, BOARD MEETING? NO.
SO THAT'S NO, WE HAVEN'T GIVEN FINAL APPROVAL ON.
AND THE DOCS, THE ONES THAT YOU WERE SHOWING THIS EVENING, ARE THOSE AVAILABLE ONLINE NOW? THEY, THEY WILL BE.
I'LL PUT THEM IN THE FOLDER FOR
[02:00:01]
THIS MEETING.AND THAT WOULD INCLUDE ALSO THE, UH, THE PRESENTATION FROM, UH, THE DEVELOPER FOR, UH, MUSE.
THAT'S BEEN, THAT'S ALREADY THERE.
THAT'S BEEN THERE SINCE WE RELEASED THE AGENDA.
UH, MR. CLARK, CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE CLIMATE SMART COMMUNITIES, LIKE HOW THEY'RE DOING THEIR MEETINGS? SO, UM, WE SWITCHED TO QUARTERLY MEETINGS, WHICH I HAD INFORMED YOU RIGHT ABOUT, AND THEN I DROPPED THE BALL IN MAKING SURE THE AGENDA WENT OUT.
THAT IS UNFORTUNATELY WHAT HAPPENED FOR THAT PARTICULAR MEETING.
I DID ACTUALLY SEND YOU THE LINK IN, IN AN EMAIL THAT SAME DAY WHEN WE MET, UM, LIKE THE DAY OF THE MEETING.
BUT I, I COMPLETELY DROPPED THE BALL AND MAKING SURE THE ANNOUNCEMENT WENT OUT.
DO THEY HAVE A NEXT SCHEDULED MEETING? WE DO.
DO YOU KNOW IF THEY'LL HAVE A PRESENTATION PREPARED FOR US? NOT QUARTERLY.
IT'S KIND OF BEYOND QUARTER, BUT
DO YOU KNOW IF THEY'LL HAVE A PRESENTATION? UH, I REMEMBER THERE'S SOMETHING THAT WE WERE HAVING IN APRIL ANNUALLY.
SO WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SOMETHING FOR THE, UM, ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT FOR 25.
TYPICALLY IT IS DONE IN THE SPRING OF THE NEXT YEAR.
WE JUST HAD A LOT OF RESTRUCTURING.
THERE'S TRANSITIONING HAPPENING.
