C
D
E
F
G
C
It
go
off
now.
I
think
it
was
me
thanks
thanks
tom
okay,
so
just
jumping
into
the
agenda.
First
up
we
have
the
the
two
public
hearings,
the
the
hearing
for
the
the
2021
proposed
budget
and
mr
hoey's
ordinance
1791
20..
We're
going
to
take
mr
hoey's
ordinance
first,
because
I
think
do
we
have
danielle.
Do
we
have
folks
here
with
us
for
the
budget
to
comment.
C
Okay,
so
it
shouldn't
matter
either
way,
but
we'll
we'll
take
tom's
coordinates
first,
okay
and
as
all
of
the
the
things
that
we
need
to
take
care
of
are
buttoned
up.
The
county
planning
planning
board
was
all
taken
care
of
we'll
be
we'll
be
moving
that
tonight
I'll
make
a
motion
to
discharge
it
from
the
planning
committee
and
and
we'll
vote
on
it.
C
Under
ordinance
is
introduced,
it's
mine,
26
102,
20
yards,
the
ordinance
for
the
easement
at
75,
levinson
avenue
to
build
the
ada
compliant
ramp,
that'll
be
going
to
finance
and
then
I'll
group
together,
the
bonding
ordinances
are
27
102
20
through
41
102
20,
and
those
will
be
going
to
finance.
Also.
C
E
C
C
C
Then
resolution
91
mr
anani
and
myself
free
speech
week
in
the
city
of
albany
october
25th,
so
for
resolutions,
91,
92
and
94,
where
all
everyone
wanted
to
be
co-sponsors
on
those
correct
from
okay.
For
that,
okay,
for
and
also
I'm
93
reappointing
miss
vivez
to
the
committee
police
review
board.
Again
we're
not
going
to
call
her
in
she
was
recently
with
us
and
we
selected
her.
So
all
members
want
to
co-sponsor
that
it's
good
good
choice,
good
right,
right,
she's,
a
she's,
a
good
choice
for
us.
C
Yeah
yeah,
that's
kind
of
the
idea
of
why
I'm
I'm
trying
to
do
it.
Yes,
okay!
Corey.
Will
you
excuse
me,
president?
Mr
president?
Okay
and
so
that's
down
to
resolution
introduced
95
102
20
yards,
mr
anani's
resolution
support
of
city
making
election
day
paid
holiday,
we're
going
to
send
that
to
finance.
K
C
C
M
M
M
They
have
a
community
room
that
is
in
front
of
their
main
building.
That
has
two
main
entrances
to
the
central
avenue
facing
central
avenue.
That
would
be
a
good
alternative
and
it
would
also
benefit
the
residents
that
live
in
that
building,
but
as
well
as
it
is
also
very
walkable
to
the
other
three
to
the
three
districts
that
are
affected.
M
In
addition,
we've
also
secured
a
location
at
the
ice
skating
rink
through
the
city,
so
the
board
of
election
has
two
alternative
locations
now
to
select
from
that.
Maybe
they
didn't
have
in
in
the
past,
or
maybe
they
you
know,
didn't
didn't
know
who
to
reach
out
to
but
well,
we've
made
a
lot
of
least
a
lot
of
contacts
to
the
board
of
election
last
week,
and
I
know
a
lot
of
people
have
called
in
today.
E
E
M
D
E
N
D
B
O
Richard
to
answer
your
question
alfredo
yeah,
I
got
notified
september
15th
that
the
blessed
sacrament
so
richard
it
was
after
their,
the
cards
went
out
so
september.
15Th
is
when
blessed
sacrifice
notified
the
board
that
they
couldn't
use
it.
The
first
place
the
board
went
to
was
the
polish
community
center,
which
is
right
down
the
road
on
the
commerce,
and
they
said
no,
so
that's
when
I
guess
they
had
to
go.
Look
at
zogo
post,
but
they're
they're
still
in
violation
of
the
election
law.
M
I
did
a
walkthrough
with
the
housing
authority
of
west
view
and
they
showed
me
how
they
cleared
out
the
room
and
how
they
can
structure
it
so
that
anyone
who's
from
the
outside
of
their
location
can
come
in
and
out
by
using
those
two
main
font
entrances
and
the
way
their
community
room
is
structured,
is
in
front
of
the
building.
So
really
people
don't
have
to
go
and
interact
within
the
building
to
go
vote.
Also
in
the
current
situation.
M
Now
with
it,
we're
in
you
know
to
call
poor
people
is
a
dangerous
thing
to
do.
I
mean
you
wouldn't
want
to
have
more
than
one
person
at
a
time,
so
you
really
want
to
make
sure
we
have
a
more
walkable
you
know
voting
for
then
you
know
for
every
vote
you
know
and
and
when
you
think,
about
people
who
have
mobile
limitations,
you
know
if
you've
ever
walked
on
every
road.
If
you
have
a
jogged
on
everett
road,
imagine
trying
to
do
that
in
a
wheelchair.
B
D
B
M
C
B
P
F
Q
M
M
M
R
Yeah,
because
I'm
not
councilman
robertson,
they
had
some
of
his
polling
sites
on
the
everglow,
but
he
he
went
and
had
a
gracious
conversation
with
klein
and
they
they
moved
his.
They
decided
not
to
move
it
there.
So
he's
sharing
a
polling
site
with
me
on
robin
street.
I
mean
we
didn't
have
to
put
a
resolution.
We
just
asked
him
and
he
granted
well.
We
got
together
with
the
two
ward
leaders
and
klein
and
rachel
just
granted
him.
So
I
don't
know
what
the
problem
is.
M
I
C
Okay-
and
I
would
also
just
say
further
with
that-
everything
that's
going
on
in
the
country
and
all
the
issues
folks
are
having
around
voting
we're
close
to
the
election.
I
think
this
would
be
more
effective
than
the
the
writing
of
the
letter.
I
mean
we're
we're
making
a
point
here
that
we're
not
okay
with.
C
E
A
S
T
A
E
J
Sorry,
no
mine
was
gun
violence,
so
that
was
that
was
specifically,
I
feel
like.
If
there's
gun
violence,
then
the
the
council
member
should
be
obviously
not
immediately
because
they
should
take
care
of
policing.
But
if
there's
any
sort
of
gun,
violence-
or,
I
would
say,
a
murder
that
does
not
involve
a
gun,
the
council
member
should
be
notified
right
away.
G
G
C
Yeah
with
those
ring
doorbell
you
you're
kind
of
a
part
of
a
neighborhood
network,
and
you
get
notifications
along
with
that.
So
I
mean
I
have
to
revisit
the
the
the
notification
conversation
with
the
chief.
He
was
again
like
mr
robinson
said
he
was
pretty
spot
on
and
I
I
mean
I
I
do
think
he
should
be
getting
a
hold
of
us
as
soon
as
he
possibly
can.
C
I
mean
obviously
he's
not
going
to
give
us
every
detail
of
what
happened,
but
certainly
I
mean
I
don't
know
about
you
all,
but
stuff
happens,
and
I
started
getting
calls
right
away
and
in
in
in
my
conversations
with
him
in
all
of
our
conversations
with
them,
it
was
that
you
know
folks
start
calling
us
they
look
for
direction.
They
want
to
know.
What's
going
on,
we
don't
have
to
tell
them
everything,
but
some
information
would
be
helpful
and
for
a
while
he
was
pretty
good
about
it.
L
F
I
just
say
he
hasn't
been
consistent.
There
has
been
times
he
has
informed
me
of
what
was
going
on,
but
I
will
say
that
any
time
that
I've
reached
out
to
him
he's
followed
up
on,
you
know
I'm
making
sure
that
I
got
caught
up
on
it.
So
you
know
it
would
be
nice
to
hear,
but
you
know
magnitude
this
stuff
is
going
on.
S
Yeah
just
one
comment:
I
don't
know
if
it's
correlated.
I
agree
it's
spotty
in
terms
of
messaging,
but
I
noticed
that
violence
that
took
place
more
towards
the
evening
and
nighttime
early
morning.
Potential,
though
specifically,
I
didn't
get
notified
on
so
maybe
there's
a
a
disconnect
about
reaching
out
to
us
during
those
hours,
but
I
would
definitely
be
open
to
you
know
getting
a
text
or
call
at
that
time.
So.
G
K
H
F
Q
K
K
K
K
K
K
Thank
you
and
during
this
public
comment,
public
hearing
excuse
me.
Speakers
have
as
much
time
as
they
wish
to
comment
on
this
public
hearing.
Speakers
can
only
comment
on
this
ordinance.
That
is
in
front
of
us.
No
nothing
else,
and
after
that
the
speaker
can
be
questioned.
Unlike
public
comment,
common
council
members
can
ask
the
speakers
questions
after
they
comment.
So
with
that
being
said,
can
a
clerk?
Please
call
the
first
speaker.
We
have
one.
K
K
K
K
There
you
go
good
evening:
can
you
just
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record?
You
are
in
a
public
comment
section
to
comment
on
the
ordinance
and
that's
the
only
thing
you
can
comment
on
and
after
that,
unlike
public
comment
period
during
a
public
hearing
council
members
can
question
you
about
your
statements
after
you
are
finished.
If
they
choose
to
do
so,
only
in
public
hearing
so
go
ahead.
K
H
U
K
J
V
V
V
K
Oh,
no,
that
then
you
you're,
probably
the
right
place,
you're,
probably
public.
Yes,
so
this
is
different.
This
is
on
this
ordinance.
That's
in
front
of
us,
you
probably
are
want
to
speak
during
public
comment
exactly
okay,
so
we'll
just
come
back
when
public
comment
period
start
we'll.
Have
you
back
on
perfect?
Thank
you!
No
problem.
Okay,.
H
H
H
H
H
The
next
comment
is
from
nancy
harrigan
prior
to
anticipated
action
by
the
common
council
on
proposed
usdo
amendment.
I
want
to
confirm
my
support
for
those
changes.
I
think
the
amendments
are
an
important,
even
crucial
step
to
help
ensure
actions
by
public
officials,
developers
and
albany
citizens
are
in
line
with
the
sensible
development
standards
in
the
usdo.
H
They
also
help
better
assure
that
conditions
placed
on
approvals
of
development
proposals
by
the
planning
board
are
followed.
This
is
very
important,
given
the
high
stakes
for
all
parties
involved
in
land
use
decisions
in
albany
where
so
many
are
affected,
sometimes
adversely
by
what
is
decided
for
the
benefit
of
a
few.
Moreover,
given
the
inevitable
changes
in
administrators
and
personnel
over
time,
these
measures
also
wisely
set
clear
parameters
for
future
decision
makers.
H
Thanks
again
for
all
of
all,
you
do
and
have
done,
and
thanks
as
well
to
the
comment
council
members
who
have
remembered
the
interests
of
residents
in
these
matters,
I
look
forward
to
learning
the
the
measures
has
been
adopted
and
signed
into
law.
Best
wishes
nancy
s.
Harrigan
next
comment
is
from
peter
constant
constantacas
of
six
tudor
road
orton
in
1791
20
for
council
for
council
members,
tom
hoey
and
michael
o'brien
to
amend
chapter
375
of
the
deer
planning
board
members.
There
is
no
doubt
that
the
planning
board
serves
a
vital
purpose.
H
It
is
critical
that
proposed
projects
meet
key
criteria
that
will
benefit
the
community
or,
at
the
very
least,
not
harm
the
neighborhoods
businesses
and
families
in
the
city
of
albany.
I
am
pleased
the
board
approved
the
proposal
and
asked
the
council
to
do
the
same
below
are
the
comments
I
submitted
to
the
board.
I
am
also
sharing
this
with
the
council,
so
they
too
will
be
able
to
consider
my
view
and
my
wife's
regarding
this
important
issue.
Thank
you
for
considering
these
comments.
H
I
would
and
do
struggle
to
understand
why
there
could
be
any
more
possible
opposition
to
council
member
hoey's
proposal
to
require
an
applicant
to
clearly
state
what
change
they
are
requesting
and
why
they
are
requesting
that
change,
and
I
also
believe
that
the
requirement
is
not
only
important
for
the
board
and
making
its
decision.
It
is
also
the
only
way
to
ensure
the
community
is
properly
informed
about
the
project
and
was
not
misled.
H
Residents
have
a
right
to
know
complete
details
about
a
project
that
could
potentially
impact
their
neighborhood
and
possibly
their
future
as
well
as
our
city.
Open
government
is
the
only
way
to
ensure
that
so
I
believe
transparency
is
essential
for
all
parties,
including
the
board.
I
further
support
other
measures
in
the
proposed
changes
to
the
usdo
process
that
take
a
broad
view
of
a
project's
benefits
or
lack
thereof
for
the
community
and
ensure
that
no
project
work
is
authorized
until
all
permit
conditions
are
satisfied.
H
H
H
Each
project
will
still
be
reviewed
for
its
merits
and
potential
detriments,
and
I
trust
the
planning
board
will
make
its
decisions
based
on
the
facts
and
for
the
benefit
of
our
city.
These
days,
it
seems,
like
common
sense,
is
often
neglected.
Here's
a
chance
to
use
it
to
ensure
a
strong,
viable
future
for
our
city.
Thank
you.
H
H
I'm
a
39-year
resident
of
albany.
I
have
lived
at
25
clarendon
road
in
eagle
hill
since
2002..
I
strongly
support
proposal
1791-20
from
tom
holly
and
mike
o'brien
to
amend
chapter
375
of
the
usdo.
The
usdo
was
created
in
2017
as
the
roadmap
for
development
in
the
city
of
albany.
I
believe
that,
now
more
than
ever
in
these
uncertain
times,
the
usdo
must
be
a
living
document
that
can
be
easily
updated
as
times
and
circumstances
change
and
when
facts
which
support
its
revisions
are
presented.
H
H
U
K
K
I
K
H
K
And
okay,
so
the
people,
there's
no
new
person,
came
in
the
queue
those
in
the
queue
have
already
expressed.
They
would
like
to
speak
to
a
public
comment
period
so
seeing
that
we
have
no
one
in
the
queue
and
no
public
comments
to
be
read
on
the
2020
budget.
We
will
deem
this
public
comment.
This
public
hearing
closed
as
well.
K
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
now
we're
moving
on
to
a
public
comment
period,
and
during
this
period
each
individual
have
five
minutes
to
speak
upon
any
matter.
They
choose
to
speak
upon
this
evening.
You
have
five
minutes
after
that,
unlike
public
the
hearing
council
members
cannot
ask
you
questions
or
answer
you.
If
they
choose
to
do
so,
they
will
do
so
at
a
later
time
doing
the
agenda
on
the
meeting.
So
with
that
being
said,
madam
clerk,
can
you
please
call
the
first
speaker?
W
Ahead:
okay,
great
my
name
is
diane
campion
and
I
live
at
69
woodside
drive
in
new
scotland
woods
new
scotland.
Woods
is
way
out
new
scotland
avenue
not
far
from
the
city
limits
and
behind
holy
names
academy.
Most
people
in
albany
don't
even
know
that
we
exist
out
here.
I'm
here
this
evening
to
speak
to
a
residential
construction
mess
that
we
have
as
a
result
of
the
usdo,
the
decision-making
process
of
the
planning
department
and
the
city's
overall
approach
to
our
type
of
community
lying
within
the
city.
W
We
need
to
fix
the
usdo
to
redefine
residential
townhouse,
clearly
define
major
versus
minor
development,
commit
to
adherence
to
all
neighborhood,
covenants
and,
finally,
to
force
adherence
to
it
by
the
planning
and
development
department.
Our
townhouse
development
has
existed
since
1988.
It
consists
of
a
series
of
structures
that
house
three
to
four
townhouse
units
with
garages
some
having
basements.
They
look
almost
like
large,
single
family
dwellings
of
a
cottage
style.
We
own
our
property,
as
well
as
the
structures
and
pay
taxes.
W
W
We
maintain
our
own
properties
in
accordance
with
the
covenant
and
call
upon
the
city
occasionally
to
enforce
its
codes
with
regard
to
appearance,
usually
in
the
case
of
rental
properties.
About
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
residents
started
to
notice
activity
on
a
on
a
tiny
and
extremely
shallow
piece
of
land
on
woodside
drive.
That
parcel
had
been
widely
known
as
unbuildable
right
by
residents,
because
it
was
described
to
us
that
this
development
had
been
built
out.
W
Subsequently,
I
found
that
several
residents
had
called
the
city
asking
what
was
going
on
most
didn't
receive
return
calls,
but
the
few
that
did
were
informed
that
indeed
something
was
going
on
and
residents
would
have,
would
receive
a
notice
by
mail
of
the
plans
that
had
been
submitted
to
the
planning
department.
Ultimately,
there
was
no
notice.
Instead,
several
months
later,
heavy
equipment
appeared
on
the
lot
excavation
began
and
they
vertically
sheared
off
the
hill
that
backs
up
to
route
85
and
also
at
has
at
its
top
a
chain-link
fence
installed
by
the
state.
W
I
got
involved
when
it
became
common
knowledge
that
the
builder
intended
to
build
two
to
three
more
units
on
this
tiny
piece
of
land.
We
only
became
aware
of
this
plan
because
the
builder
told
multiple
residents
of
his
plans
and
that
he
had
been
able
to
pull
it
off
because
he
quote
knew
people
in
the
city,
a
theme
that
continues
to
shake
the
confidence
of
all
of
us
in
the
official
decision-making
process.
W
There
are
others
who
have
spoken
or
will
speak
later
tonight,
more
knowledgeably
than
I
to
the
glaring
engineering,
as
well
as
planning
and
oversight
deficiencies
in
this
development
effort.
Allow
me
to
enumerate
the
developer
clearly
went
to
the
planning
board,
with
intent
to
segment
the
property
in
order
to
circumvent
the
review
process
as
well
as
usda
guidelines
and
was
successful.
In
doing
so.
W
Other
review
steps
were
ignored
as
well,
based
on
proximity
to
the
new
york
state,
as
well
as
town
of
bethlehem
property
lines,
and
we,
the
residents
of
new
scotland
woods,
were
afforded
no
input.
Design
plans
submitted
and
approved
by
the
city
were
not
adhered
to
in
the
actual
construction
I.e.
As
we
understand
it,
the
building
was
designed
to
include
basements
but
has
been
constructed
and
okay,
the
retaining
the
retaining
wall
was
constructed
to
prevent
the
hill
from
falling
down,
and
it's
inadequate
and
inconsistent
with
the
design
new
scotland
woods
is
built
on
clay.
W
There
is
no
drainage.
We,
the
mayor,
had
visited
us
about
a
year
ago
to
see
the
significant
erosion
problems
that
exist
in
this
development
currently
and
during
the
entirety
of
last
winter.
During
this
construction,
our
street
was
rife
with
mud
and
water
and
ice
and
the
mailboxes
were
blocked,
and
we
had
to
pick
up
mail
for
the
older
residents
here
now.
W
Thankfully,
the
mayor's
office
has
sustained
our
claims
that
the
appropriate
processes
were
circumvented,
but
we
are
fearful
that
the
builder
is
going
to
do
an
end
run
around
that
ruling
and
really
achieve
his
goal
of
placing
additional
units
on
that
piece
of
property.
The
usdo
has
proved
inadequate
to
address
the
situation
and
there
are
property
lines
and
spacing
concerns
this
campaign
on
that
piece
of
property
that
are
totally
inconsistent
with
what
exists
in
scotland.

K
V
All
right
good
evening,
my
name
is
jeanne
gregory.
I
live
at
one
sandalwood
court
also
in
new
scotland
woods
I
want
to
just
start
quickly
by
appreciating
the
opportunity
to
speak,
thanking
council
members,
the
mayor's
chief
staff
of
dave,
gallen
who's
been
helpful
with
this
process
for
us
and
also
councilman
jack
flynn.
That
invited
us
here
this
evening,
as
you
guys
have
heard
previously,
and
I'm
sure
there's
been
plenty
meetings
that
we've
missed
in
regards
to
some
of
the
loopholes
in
the
planning
system.
V
V
V
It
could
be
considered
to
include
a
street
photo
in
alignment
with
just
an
existing
photo
and
it
may
be
a
place
to
consider,
including
a
rendering
of
the
building
the
lot
modification
application
also
talks
about
land,
sub
subdivisions
and
lot
lines
any
existence
of
liens
mortgages.
Those
sorts
doesn't
include
anything
that
would
uncover
or
even
ask
the
question.
Is
there
a
covenant?
Is
there
an
hoa?
V
You
know
our
development
doesn't
have
an
hoa
and
I
believe
the
only
one
in
the
city
of
albany
that
does
is
the
white
house
station
and
all
lots
should
be
discussed
if
they're
proposing
a
three
unit
subdivision
and
they're
only
talking
about
what
they're
doing
on
the
two.
I
think
it
should
raise
a
red
flag
of
what's
going
on
in
the
third
in
the
project.
Narratives,
there
is
a
section
that
does
include
that
the
proposed
structure
should
be
in
harmony
with
current
development.
V
V
All
of
these
check
boxes
so
far
kind
of
superseded
and
looped
around
the
actual
planning
board
process.
So
no
one
had
a
chance
to
review
it
other
than
a
few
people
and
it
seemed
to
be
directed
a
little
bit
subversively
around
those
people.
So
there
wasn't
continuity
and
I
can't
blame
the
reviewers
for
not
seeing
things
that
aren't
even
in
check
boxes
in
terms
of
this
development.
V
V
H
K
K
P
My
name
is
lee
york
and
I
live
at
28
home
avenue
in
albany,
I'm
a
retired,
professional
planner
and
I
have
been
working
with
the
residents
of
new
scotland
woods
on
zoning
issues
in
their
neighborhood.
As
you
have
heard,
there
was
an
approval
for
a
three
lot
subdivision
in
new
scotland
woods
with
disastrous
results.
P
The
rt
zone
allows
commercial
uses
on
the
first
floor,
18
lot
widths
of
18
feet,
no
side
or
front
yard
minimums
with
structures
primarily
being
within
the
historic
districts.
This
describes
downtown
structures
within
the
central
city
which
are
within
walking
distance
of
services,
parks,
banks
and
shopping.
P
This
in
no
way
describes
new
scotland
woods
in
which
the
units
have
front
side
and
backyards
with
two
car
garages
and
substantial
open
space
located
in
a
wooded
area
on
the
outskirts
of
the
city.
Because
of
the
zoning
change
lot,
54
was
subdivided
into
three
parcels
lot,
a
b
and
c
lots.
A
and
b
were
developed
into
two
townhouses,
which
were
approved
without
any
questions
about
what
was
planned
for
lot
c.
P
I
will
not
belabor
the
situation
any
further,
nor
take
any
more
of
your
valuable
time.
What
I'm
requesting
is
that
the
co
the
council
pass
a
resolution
this
evening
to
return
the
zoning
of
new
scotland
woods
and
any
other
townhouse
developments
outside
the
inner
city
to
their
pre-2017
zoning
designation.
P
In
conclusion,
I
just
want
the
council
to
know
that
if
nothing
is
done
to
modify
the
zoning
on
the
townhouse
developments
outside
the
inner
city
or
to
return
them
to
pre-2017
their
pre-ta,
excuse
me
pre-2017,
designation.
This
issue
will
not
go
away
every
time
that
a
formally
substandard
lot
is
developed
under
the
rt
zone.
More
residents
will
be
coming
before
you
to
request
a
change
and
asking
you
to
help
them
in
maintaining
their
property
value
values.
P
U
Hello,
my
name
is
paul
amar
and
my
husband
and
I
mark
emer
live
at
143
rosemont
street
in
albany
last,
at
the
beginning
of
2020
stewards
came
before
the
planning
board
proposing
to
build
a
hyper
mart
on
the
corner
of
calden
avenue
and
washington
avenue,
and
for
the
last
I
would
say,
five
or
six
months.
We
actively
worked
against
what
we
consider
this
to
be
a
hugely
outsized
project
and
in
august
august
25th,
specifically,
the
planning
board
rejected
the
proposal,
denying
stewards,
the
application,
three
votes
against
and
two
abstentions.
U
Once
again-
and
I
thank
mike
o'brien,
our
council
person
for
bringing
it
to
our
attention-
and
that
is
the
improper
rezoning
done
not
intentionally
but
just
by
error
of
two
houses
on
washington,
avenue,
1057
and
1061
washington
avenue-
these
two
houses
would
have
to
be
taken
down
in
order
for
stewards
to
build.
This
hyper
mart,
as
well
as
a
the
bank
and
also
a
garage,
so
mike
very
thoughtfully,
said.
This
is
something
that
the
council
common
council
can
address
and
putting
these
two
residences
back
in
residential
qualification
as
opposed
to
mixed
use.
U
They
were
inappropriately
dubbed
mixed
use.
These
are
inhabited
two
family
homes
and
the
idea
that
stewards
would
come
in
and
knock
them
down
to
create.
This
outsized
project
was
obviously
anathema
to
us,
and
michael
o'brien
correctly
said
that
there's
something
that
the
common
council
would
do.
So
we
ask
you
to
revisit
this
issue
of
redesignating
these
two
large
homes
as
residences,
which
they
are
so
that
stewards
cannot
come
in
and
carve
out
a
large
section
of
that
corner
of
colvin
and
washington
and
build
this
huge
project.
U
K
U
H
K
X
Okay,
victory
go
so
I
did
truthfully.
I
was
going
to
talk
and
and
then
I
basically
changed
my
mind
councilmember,
but
what
I
do
want
to
say.
I
hope
this
console
gets
behind
tom
howie
and
his
ordinance
and
passes
his
ordinance.
It's
been
going
on
long
enough
and
I
think
it's
time
that
we
all
know
that
tom
hoey's
ordinance
is
what
it
should
be
and
again
we've
been
going
back
and
forth.
X
It
has
been
approved
at
one
time
in
the
council
vetoed
by
the
mayor,
and
then
it
went
before
the
planning
department
and
they
tweaked
it
a
little
bit.
So
what
you
now
have
in
front
of
me
is
the
tweaked
version
of
tom
hoey's
ordinance
so
tonight
on
a
vote.
I
hope
this
console
stands
behind
tom
hoey
and
lets
just
go
through,
so
we
can
get
this
out
of
the
way.
Thank
you
very
much.
Council
members.
I
appreciate
your
time.
H
Y
Y
I
will
not
go
into
details
about
what
happened,
because
that
situation
is
apparently
resolved,
but
just
know
that
I
believe
what
the
residents
are
saying
in
other
city.
It
harkens
back
to
the
dumpster
in
arbor
hill
in
2018,
except
that
this
was
city
fund,
except
that
was
city
funded
in
this
obsidian
sanction.
Y
I
would
like
to
offer
some
suggestions
on
one
money.
What
might
prevent
a
similar
scenario
from
arising
in
the
future
permits
for
events
that
would
cause
parking
or
other
similar
disruptions
must
have
a
lead
time
of
at
least
seven
days.
From
what
I
heard
there
was
that
that's
a
two
to
three
day
notice.
Y
Y
This
will
prevent
innocent
residents
from
requiring
additional
fees
for
the
grave
sin
of
not
seeing
a
flyer.
Film
production
brings
attention
and
tourism
to
our
great
city.
No
one
is
against
that,
however,
when
it
causes
damages
to
our
residents,
that
includes
unnamed
financial
burdens
and
possibly
possible
mentored
face
among
other
conveniences
as
marijuana
behind

in

the
usdo,
and
I
believe
this
ordinance
is
is
a
good
step
in
that
we
start
adjusting
the
usdo,
because
there
has
been
problems.
I've
been
working
on
this
close
to,
I
want
to
say
15,
16
months,
just
to
get
these
changes
in.
I'm
glad
that
we
were
able
to
work
something
out,
but
it
shouldn't
take
that
amount
of
time
to
do
any
kind
of
changes,
so,
hopefully
moving
forward
and
forward
in
the
future,
we
can
get
more
changes
done
as
needed
and
in
a
timely
manner.
Thank
you.
Thank.
J
J
I
appreciate
the
mayor's
office,
the
corporation
council's
office
and
the
planning
department,
along
with
mr
hoey
and
several
other
council
members,
mr
o'brien,
mr
conte
and
mr
kimbrough,
coming
together
and
and
continuing
to
work
on
this,
because
tom's
absolutely
right,
there's
a
lot
of
work
that
still
needs
to
happen
with
the
usda,
but
this
is
some
really
common
sense
changes
that
really
need
to
happen
sooner
rather
than
later.
So
I
appreciate
the
hard
work
that
everybody's
put
in.
E
Thank
you,
mr
president,
and
congratulations,
mr
hoey
I'll
be
voting
yes
on
this
I'll
be
co-sponsoring,
but
I
just
want
to
note
again
as
someone
who
was
here
in
2017
when
the
usda
was
originally
adopted,
there
was
a
provision
which
we're
all
aware
of
built
in
kind
of
the
safeguard
for
the
council
to
exercise
oversight
through
the
six-month
review
to
be
followed
by
annual
reviews
back
in
2017,
there
was
a
you
can
argue.
A
six-month
review
was
submitted.
E
It
was
submitted
in
november
with
which
mixed
policy
and
technical
changes,
but
the
the
planning
board
was
never
ever
able
to
complete
action
and
actually
forward
a
recommendation
to
us
so
that
that
never
happened.
But
the
annual
review
also
has
additional
information
that
is
supposed
to
enhance
our
oversight,
including
the
number
of
variances,
and
that
were
issued.
E
Conditional
use
permits
other
types
of
approvals,
et
cetera,
et
cetera,
a
whole
range
of
things
that
were
supposed
to
enhance
our
oversight
of
how
the
usda
was
operating
and
also
to
provide
us
the
opportunity
to
make
adjustments
as
needed.
We
have
the
countless
council
has
passed
a
couple
of
ordinances,
including
this
one
tonight,
to
make
adjustments
to
the
usdo.
E
That
was
not
the
way
it
was
supposed
to
happen,
and
I
think
it's
frustrating
that,
in
effect
that
we're
saying,
while
we're
doing
this,
the
planning
department
has
been
ignoring
the
requirements
of
the
usdo
in
terms
of
their
accountability
to
the
council.
And
you
know
what
I
fear
is
what
we
slowly
see
happening.
Is
our
oversight
authority
slipping
away
and
one
day
we're
going
to
wake
up
and
say
what
happened
to
it.
E
Mr
igor
was
here
in
1998
when
we're
working
on
the
charter
to
get
that
basic
confirmation
authority.
In
there
we
got
it
for
the
planning
board
in
the
bca
back
in
1998,
but
again
we're
losing
it
we're
losing
it.
And
so,
as
we
adopt
this
tonight
and
congratulations,
mr
hoey
and
the
the
work,
I
did
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
and
we're
very
dogging
on
it
and
pursuing
it
and
that's
really
appreciated.
E
D
K
D
Where
had
there
really
been
a
six-month
review?
Had
there
really
been
an
annual
review?
There
are
a
lot
of
things
that
we
have
put
hours
and
hours
and
hours
of
effort
into
wouldn't
have
been
necessary
like,
for
example,
the
ordinance
that
paul
lamar
spoke
on
on
public
comment.
Tonight
there
are
two
buildings
which
never
were
commercial
and
which
were
accidentally
in
the
zoning
map,
dropped
into
a
mixed-use,
neighborhood
commercial
area
through
pure
oversight,
and
that
would
have
been
picked
up
in
the
six
months
review
or
in
the
yearly
review.
D
Instead
of
having
to
go
through
a
long
and
rigorous
fight
with
the
corporate
giant
stewards
who
basically
wanted
to
change
the
face,
the
residential
face
of
a
chunk
of
washington
avenue
and
many
others,
I
mean
the
whole
language
ironic.
Richard
said
that
we
have
not
that
there
are
many.
The
majority
of
the
zoning
board,
the
majority
of
the
zoning
board,
who
caused
us
all
the
trouble
with
the
interpretation
of
a
blood
plasma
center
being
a
light
manufacturing
process.
D
The
majority
of
that
voting
board
were
past
the
term
with
one
individual
being
two
years
beyond
disturbed.
So
there
is
more
than
an
erosion,
I
think,
there's
been
a
usurpation
of
council
power
and
I
think
we
have
to
get
on
it,
and
I
think
this
is
a
step
for
doing
it,
and
I
commend
tom.
It
was
a
long
fight,
but
I
think
it's
worth
it
and
I
will
certainly
be
voting
for
it.
L
L
I
second
everything
that
you
say
with
regard
to
your
concerns
and
I'll
go
one
step
further
on
that,
and
that
is,
I
generally
have
a
concern
with
regard
to
the
planning
department
adhering
to
the
terms
of
the
usdo
as
adopted,
and
that
was
one
of
the
reasons
why
I
had
concerns
about
them.
The
planning
board,
having
the
authority
to
waive
requirements
of
that
which
was
part
of
what
instigated
this
particular.
L
Ordinance
language,
as
I
was
listening
to
the
comments
earlier
this
evening
from
people
in
new
scotland
woods,
I
was
wondering
if
the
new
development
that
is
being
allowed
there
complies
with
things
such
as
the
30.
The
requirement
of
every
new
development
she'll
have
30
percent
vegetative
coverage
of
of
a
lot.
L
L
B
Q
Q
Q
Q
While
I
will
be
voting
in
support
of
this,
because
I
realize
that
you
know
in
politics
and
just
government-
it's
not
my
way
or
the
highway,
you
have
to
work
with
others,
particularly
administration
and
planning
board,
to
come
up
with
a
compromise,
and
this
is
a
compromise
that
I
could
support.
But
I
want
to
urge
my
colleagues
in
government
and
also
the
fellow
residents
in
the
city
of
albany,
to
reject
the
notion
that
development
is
bad.
It
is
not.
Q
S
B
F
F
Q
K
J
Q
K
K
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
G
G
That
was
one
of
the
first
iterations
of
this.
I
think
it's
a
noble
cause
to
see
that
we
can
try
to
do
this,
but
you
have
a
lot
of
people
out
there
who
believe
that
big
government
is
not
needed
and
we
don't
want
big
government,
and
we
we
see
this
in
the
election
on
november
3rd
and
that's
what
this
election
is
about.
But
you
know,
while
I
support
this,
it's
gonna
be
very
tough.
G
You
know
verizon
with
the
fios
they're,
not
expanding
the
fios,
and
I
sent
information
I
believe
to
our
young
council
member
that
they've
already
said
they
don't
want
to
expand
files,
and
the
reason
is
that
the
people
who
put
in
the
cabling
for
fios
are
union.
They
want
to
go
to
5g,
which
is
non-unionized.
G
So
when
you
use
your
cell
phone,
the
people
there,
the
technicians
and
stuff
don't
have
a
union.
But
when
you
pick
up
your
regular
phone
in
your
house
or
when
you
use
fios,
if
you
do
have
it,
those
workers
are
unionized.
So
this
is
what
it's
a
it's
a
struggle,
but
I
think
there's
a
good
step
and
I
will
be
supporting
this.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.

C
M
M
By
no
means
am
I
saying
that's
what
our
election
committee
has
done.
By
no
means
am
I
saying
that
they
had
an
ill
intention
for
this
action,
but
this
action
does
cause
harm
to
our
community.
This
action
does
create
an
additional
barrier
to
our
residents,
to
our
seniors.
To
our
individuals
to
have
mobility
issues
as
well
as
who
are
disabled,
so
we
are
asking
the
board
to
take
an
action,
an
action
to
correct
this
ever
and
it's
an
hour
again.
M
By
no
means
am
I
saying
that
it
was
done
with
any
intent,
but
we
do
want
them
to
take
an
intensive
action
to
correct
us.
We
have
found
two
additional
locations
that
are
walkable
for
our
residents
that
are
closer
to
to
their
homes,
that
is
in
our
city
lines,
so
we
have
had
conversations
with
the
board
of
elections.
M
We
won't
look
past
and
we
will
stand
with
them
publicly.
So
I
thank
you
for
those
who
are
in
support
of
this.
I
thank
all
of
you
to
be
honest
because
any
one
of
you
could
have
stopped
this
from
being
brought
up
for
a
vote.
So
the
fact
that
you
were
willing
to
let
him
come
up
to
a
vote.
We
appreciate
that.
D
D
I
couldn't
do
it
because
they
needed
the
space
because
of
colvin
restrictions
on
space
in
their
students,
but
nevertheless
I
do
believe
that
the
board
of
elections
is
given
enough
time
to
change
it
and
didn't
seem
to
be
willing,
even
though
they
were
made
aware
that
they
had
to
look
for
another
place
back
in
september,
and
even
though
the
suggestions
of
the
alternative
in
albany
closer
polling
sites
were
given
to
them.
I
quite
frankly,
don't
know
why.

Q
Q
Yesterday,
around
one
o'clock
there
was
a
one:
am
there
was
a
shooting
in
the
10th
ward
on
hamilton,
ontario,
a
shooting
that
took
place
right
on
hamilton
ontario.
Fortunately,
there
were
no
deaths
and
the
individual.
The
perpetrator,
who
was
involved
with
the
shooting,
is
currently
in
custody
thanks
to
the
great
police
work
that
was
done.
Q
So
I'm
calling
on
the
county
the
state,
whatever
additional
resources
that
are
out
there,
law
enforcement
resources,
whether
it's
federal
it
doesn't.
I
think
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
have
everyone
have
a
right
to
save
streets
and
whatever
resources
that
is
available
need
to
be
deployed
in
the
city
of
albany
to
combat
this
gang
violence,
this
street
violence
that
we
are
seeing.
This
is
unacceptable
and
I
know
that
there
are
people
who
are
not
acting
with
a
sense
of
emergency
because
it's
not
in
their
neighborhood,
but
I'm
telling
you
this.
Q
It
could
be
your
family
in
those
neighborhoods,
it
could
be
a
relative,
it
could
be
a
friend.
It
could
be
your
neighbor
that
could
lose
their
life
to
this
tragic
violence
that
we're
seeing
people
could
blame
it
on
their
pandemic.
They
could
blame
it
on
poverty.
They
could
blame
it
on
everything,
but
it's
time
for
elected
officials
in
this
city
to
take
leadership.
Q
Q
Q
And
what
we're
seeing
whether
you
live
in
the
hiltonburg
or
you
live
in
pine
hills,
arbor
hill.
This
is
becoming
a
city
of
albany
problem.
This
is
no
longer
a
south
and
western
arbor
hill
problem.
This
is
a
city
of
albany
problem
and
I
could
tell
you
this.
If
this
amount
of
violence
was
happening
in
our
affluent
neighborhoods
in
the
city
of
albany,
this
will
not
be
an
incident.
This
will
be
a
crisis
and
we
need
to
treat
it
as
such.
Q
Q
We
don't
need
a
sheriff
and
a
police
officer,
albany
police
officer,
all
in
one
vehicle
they
could
go
in
separate
vehicle
and
police
and
patrol
our
neighborhoods.
This
is
becoming
a
serious
concern
and
you
don't
need
permission.
We
don't
if,
if
you
don't
need
permission
from
albany
police
department
to
patrol
our
neighborhoods,
the
city
of
albany
is
in
the
county
and
to
our
governor
and
our
state
representatives.
It's
time
to
speak
up
and
ask
for
whatever
resources
that
are
available
into
the
city
of
albany.
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
S
The
reality
is
this:
is
six
people
shot
within
48
hours
within
our
city,
quite
unbelievable,
heartbreaking
to
say
the
least
and
completely
agree?
We
need
resources
out
there.
We
need
the
sheriff's
resources.
We
need
people
to
address
this
issue
because
clearly
this
is
just
continuing
to
occur.
A
couple
months
back,
we
had
a
similar
two-day
span
where
there
was
a
lot
of
shootings.
S
F
Thank
you,
mr
president.
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
my
any
colleague
that
spoke
on
the
gun,
violence.
You
know
someone
got
shot,
maybe
a
hundred
feet
from
my
apartment
over
the
weekend.
It's
sad
that
this
is
becoming
the
norm,
our
new
norm.
You
know
I'm
from
albany
new
york
and
we
never
had
this
type
of
violence
in
our
city.
F
I
work
you
know,
maybe
a
thousand
feet
from
my
apartment
and
and
I
just
watched
the
things
that
our
kids
have
to
look
at
to
and
from
school,
and
you
know
this
is
a
reflection
of
what
our
city
has
become,
and
I
agree
that
we
need
to
exhaust
all
resources
to
address
this.
This
violence,
because
it's
not
going
away
and
and
when
I
say
resources,
I
mean
resources
in
on
trying
to
deal
with
the
trauma
and
pain
that
people
are
dealing
with
at
the
moment.
F
T
K
Thank
you,
mr
robinson,
I'd
like
to
say
this
before
we
end
tonight,
mr
anani,
we
appreciate
your
words.
We
appreciate
everyone's
words
that
has
been
spoken.
This
is
not
something
this
council
has
not
addressed
in
the
past
few
months.
This
is
not
something
that
council
members
have
not
spoken
eloquently
about.
K
K
K
K
K
So,
mr
nan,
even
though
I
see
that
you're
passionate
you
forget
that
this
council
as
a
whole,
any
council
members,
black
and
white,
have
taken
a
stand
about
the
gun.
Violence
in
our
city.
These
council
members
on
this
council
have
said
we
need
answers.
I've
heard
council
members
and
myself
included
said
you
want
to
end
this.
We
have
to
start
arresting
people,
we
have
to
start.
We
have
to
stop
act
like
we
don't
have
a
gang
problem.
This
is
just
not
individuals
who
are
having
bad
disagreements.
K
K
Every
business
owner
in
this
city
feels
the
effect
of
this
gun
violence.
Everyone,
mr
nani,
pointed
out
earlier
this
evening
that
our
city
more
people
are
developing
and
moving
to
the
city.
Not
if
this
continues,
they
won't
not
if
we,
as
a
as
a
department
of
police
department,
have
not
shown
that
we've
done
everything
possible.
L
K
This
is
just
this
is
a
microcosm
of
what
we
continue
to
see
as
council
members,
when
we
try
to
hold
this
administration
counsel
accountable
down
from
the
planning
down
from
when
we
appoint
people,
appointments
or
update.
This
is
what
we've
seen
when
we're
trying
to
represent
our
neighborhoods.
That's
why
mr
holy
ordinance
had
to
be
redone
and
redone
over
and
over
again.
K
I
do
applaud
you,
council
members
for
doing
your
job,
but
we
need
leadership,
we're
doing
what
we
can
do,
but
the
chief
needs
to
come
up
with
better
answers
than
people.
Don't
know
the
city
of
these
officers,
don't
know
the
city
of
albany
and
we
need
to
see
a
plan
on
how
this
chief
is
going
to
tackle
us.
Mr
hoey
had
his
hand
up
and
then
miss
faye.
G
My
hand
up
first
actually-
and
I
wish
I
would
have
had
a
chance,
then,
because
this
gun
violence
is
very
important
and
I
think
I
brought
it
up
all
along
I'd
like
to
see
state
police
doing
traffic
stops,
there's
no
reason
and
there's
speeding.
I've
been
down
in
woodlawn
with
judy
and
I
had
a
car
go
by
at
50
miles
an
hour.
G
G
G
We
shouldn't
have
to
depend
on
growth,
abnormal
growth
in
order
to
make
our
pay
our
taxes
and
get
by.
We
see
it
right
now.
My
son
cannot
go
to
school,
not
because
of
covet
he's
learning
from
home,
because
the
school
district
doesn't
have
enough
money.
Why
don't?
They
have
enough
money?
We've
given
out
ida's
to
large
buildings,
and
you
know,
department
developments.
G
Yet
we
have
to
provide
services
for
them
increase
services
we
have
to
have
if
they
have
children
increase
children
in
our
schools,
but
yet
they
pay
the
same
taxes.
What
the
building
was
there
before,
I'm,
not
against
development.
I've
said
this
all
along
smart,
slow
development.
I
don't
want
every
lot
in
albany
be
gone
when
my
son
max
grows
up,
and
maybe
he
has
kids,
that
they
can't
run
around
and
play
or
there's
other
areas
to
grow.
G
G
I'll
talk
to
people,
I
did
drink,
the
the
police
stand
off
and
I
got
tear
gas.
I
wanted
to
go
down
because
I
believe
albany
is
a
great
city.
This
is
you
know.
Albany
is
we
need
to
make
it
great
again
and
that's
a
terrible
thing,
because
somebody
else
said
that,
but
albany
needs
to
develop.
Thank
you.
Thank.
N
N
You
know
what
you
felt,
what
any
anybody
any
of
the
other
council
members
and
their
and
the
residents
in
their
awards
have
been
feeling
and
it's
tremendously
frustrating
to
know
how
to
address
it.
I
mean
I
know
what
I
would
do
if
there
was
an
incident
in
my
ward.
You
know
there'd
be
community
meeting
after
community
meeting
hammer
hammer
hammer
what
happened
you
know,
get
the
details,
get
the
details
and
and
address
it
address
it
address
it
and
that's
going
to
happen
every
single
time.
N
You
know
one
of
these
incidents
happens,
but
I
also
agree.
You
know
we
if
we
need
more
resources,
let's
bring
that
chief
back
in
again,
let's
ask
that
mayor
to
come
back
in
again
and
have
a
conversation.
You
know
what
are
we
going
to
do?
I
I
wouldn't
stand
for
it
honestly,
it
you
know
and
it
is
affecting
every
single
person
who
lives
in
this
city.
So
you
know
if
we
sit
here,
maybe
not
comment,
please.
N
Where
is
that
we
are
extremely
upset
about
every
single
incident
in
this
city
and
don't
understand
it,
don't
understand
how
it
how
it
can
be
allowed
to
continue
so
we're
with
you
on
it.
Let's
get
the
chief
back
in
if
we
need
more
resources,
let's
do
it,
but
every
single
person
in
the
community
community's
got
to
stand
up
against
it.
That's
you
know
the
other
thing
I
you
know
was
it
a
drive-by
shooting
tonight
I
don't
know.
N
Was
it
from
a
house,
you
know
we've
got
you
got
to
get
the
details
and
you
and
you
just
got
to
hammer
away
on
it
and
then
you
know,
as
you
all
know,
you
know
the
squeaky
wheel
gets
the
grease
and
you
know
our
police
staff
will
address
it.
If
the
pressure
is
put
on,
I
mean
it's
a
problem,
we're
understaffed
yes,
so
what
do
we
do?
Let's,
let's
bring
them
in
again
to
a
caucus
that
that
would
be
my
suggestion.
