Asheville City Council Meeting

C
F
F
A
Have
a
special
first
for
tonight,
nice,
the
first
night
of
our
new
city
attorney,
Brad
random,
is
joining
us
and
our
interim
city
attorney
is
still
here
with
us:
we're
kind
of
doing
a
little
transition,
so
welcome
Brad,
Thank,
You,
mayor
and
I'm
gonna
thanks
Bri,
and
thank
you
in
advance.
So
if
we're
gonna
I
have
to
tell
you,
I
sent
is
Sabrina
and
email
this
week
and
the
auto
reply
is
something
like
I
am
no
longer
the
inner.
A
And
we
have
we're
gonna
add
to
our
agenda
under
presentations.
It's
not
on
the
printed
agenda,
we're
adding
an
update
on
parking
and
Memorial
Stadium
and
McCormick
field.
Just
to
just
so
folks
know
that
that'll
be
under
presentations,
but
first
we
have
proclamations
and
the
first
is
actually
an
award.
It's
the
walk,
friendly
community
award
and
Barb
me
is
here
to
talk
about
that.
H
J
Mayor
mayor,
councilmembers,
I
am
barb
me
and
I
coordinate
the
sidious
pedestrian
and
bicycle
program.
I
have
here
with
me
members
of
the
Asheville
bicycle
and
pedestrian
task
force,
so
their
walk,
friendly
subcommittee,
who
will
be
presenting
you
tonight
with
the
award
tonight
well
large
part
of
being
a
lot
of
walk
friendly
community
is
about
city
actions
like
funding,
building,
maintaining
facilities,
enforcing
the
laws
that
keep
us
safe.
J
It's
also
about
people
in
the
community
who
encourage
us-
and
at
this
moment
most
importantly,
people
in
the
community
who
take
time
to
fill
out
the
nomination
grace
and
these
other
subcommittee
members
do
the
hard
work
of
researching
and
preparing
the
nomination.
So
it
only
seems
fitting
that
they
should
be
the
ones
to
present
with
you
with
Asheville's
most
recent
friendly
community
award.
K
Well,
thank
you
and
good
evening,
mayor
and
city
council
meet
members,
I'm,
Grace
and
I'm
one
member.
There
are
several
others
that
are
here
today
that
Claudia
Nix
and
Randy
Warren,
and
as
as
most
you
most
likely,
are
aware,
the
award
is
a
read
as
Ignatian
of
the
community
at
the
Silver
level
that
was
awarded
five
years
ago,
and
this
award
recognizes
that
there
have
been
improvements
in
the
walking
environment,
but
that
the
changes
don't
indicate
that
the
community
is
ready
to
move
up
to
a
higher
level.
K
Today,
I
would
like
to
share
some
of
the
areas
where
our
community
committee
noted
improvement
and
to
highlight
that
the
city's
role
in
bringing
about
these
changes
was
significant.
Noteworthy
has
been
a
focus
on
collaboration.
The
city
and
NCDOT
have
established
a
joint
pedestrian
safety
working
group
and
which
is
MIT
I,
understand,
meets
monthly
and
has
resulted
in
collaboration
on
several
projects,
including
the
sidewalk
connection
on
Fairview
Road.
K
What's
most
important
is
your
continued
support
will
be
essential
for
the
implementation
of
the
plan
in
the
last
action
I'd
like
to
mention
is
the
city's
advocacy
for
the
watch
for
me
MC
campaign,
which
shows
that
the
city
views,
educational,
educational
programs
for
motorists
and
pedestrians
as
important
and
what's
of
interest,
is
that
the
community's
involvement,
in
this
case
Cain,
was
instrumental
in
the
city's
receiving
our
initial
silver
designation
five
years
ago.
So
we're
pleased
that
it's
been
continuing.
K
It's
evident
that,
with
your
support
in
the
support
of
the
city
staff
in
many
departments,
including
police
transportation,
finance
public
works
in
capital
projects
that
there
have
been
improvements
in
making
the
city
a
safer,
more
enjoyable
environment
for
Walker
over
the
past
five
years.
However,
we
all
recognize
that
there
still
is
significant
work
to
be
done
to
make
our
community
safe
and
pleasant
for
pedestrians.
So
we
urge
you
to
continue
your
support
and
take
action
that
prioritize
pedestrian
safety
and
move
Asheville
up
to
the
walk
frankly
gold-level.
A
A
We
have
a
long
way
to
go
in
the
battle
to
make
sure
pedestrians
are
safe
and
feel
comfortable
walking
in
our
city,
and
this
is
a
nice
occasion
to
remind
us
of
the
importance
of
doing
something
every
day
to
make
Asheville
a
better
place
to
live
and
I
want
to.
Thank
you
all
for
doing
your
part
working
so
hard
in
that
effort.
A
C
L
Total
6.3
billion,
where,
as
research
suggests,
the
cause
of
Parkinson's
disease
is
a
combination
of
genetic
and
environmental
factors.
But
the
exact
cause
in
most
individuals
is
still
unknown
and
there
is
currently
not
an
objective
test
or
biomarker
to
diagnose
Parkinson's
disease,
whereas
the
symptoms
of
Parkinson's
disease
vary
from
person
to
person
and
can
include
tremors
slowness
of
movement
and
rigidity,
gait
and
balance,
difficulty
speech
and
swallowing
disturbances,
cognitive
impairment
and
dementia
mood
disorders
and
a
variety
of
other
non-motor
symptoms.
M
Hi,
my
name
is
Beth
Pape.
Thank
you
for
listening
and
the
proclamation
my
husband
has
Parkinson's,
so
I
have
it
to
the
two
years
ago.
Thirty-Five
mint
people
came
to
our
monthly
Asheville
Parkinson's
support
group
meetings,
as
chairperson
I
should
be
proud
to
tell
you
that
attendance
is
now
closing
in
on
100.
M
Instead
I'm
heartsick,
because
I
know
that
only
one
in
a
hundred
can
make
it
to
meetings.
High
attendance
just
means
that
the
number
of
Asheville
residents
with
Parkinson's
may
have
tripled
in
two
years.
That
would
pretty
much
substantiate
what
the
proclamation
says
about
the
growth
of
this
disease.
I
won't
bore
you
with
numbers,
but
if
most
of
the
new
residents
in
Asheville
are
baby
boomers
and
ten
percent
of
baby
boomers
have
Parkinson's,
you
and
I
know
we
have
a
problem.
M
M
M
So,
while
you're
busy
looking
at
how
to
get
to
zero
carbon
by
2040,
please
look
into
how
we
can
get
to
zero
on
those
killers
to
our
crops
really
will
do
better
with
pollinators
around
our
children
will
grow
stronger
without
roundup
in
their
food,
and
they
will
be
wiser
and
happier
if
their
grandparents
are
caring
for
them,
not
the
other
way
around.
Thank
you
for
your
consideration
and
this
proclamation.
It
really
means
a
lot
to
all
of
us.
A
G
Excuse
me
enhance
awareness
about
the
environment,
inform
decision
making
and
protect
future
generations,
and
whereas
it
is
essential
to
expand
and
diversify
the
global
environmental
movement
to
achieve
maximum
progress
and
whereas
Earth
Day
is
an
annual
reminder
of
the
constant
need
for
environmental
activism,
stewardship
commitments.
Sustainability
efforts
now,
therefore,
is
turi.
Manheimer
mayor
of
Asheville
had
the
distinct
honor
of
proclaiming
April
22nd
2019
as
Earth
Day
throughout
the
city,
and
encourage
all
citizens.
G
Businesses
and
institutions
to
use
Earth
Day
to
celebrate
the
Earth
and
promote
environmental
and
climate
literacy,
and
let
me
just
mention
if
those
of
you
looking
to
celebrate
Earth
Day
in
a
very
practical
way,
I
encourage
you
to
go
to
the
website
WNC
for
the
planet,
org,
that's
WNC
for
the
planet,
gorg
and
there
you
will
find
an
extensive
listing
of
a
whole
host
of
events
and
activities
that
are
happening
this
month
in
celebration
of
Earth
Month.
Some
of
them
are
service
projects.
G
N
Thank
you
so
much
to
City
Council
leadership,
and
especially
to
the
Office
of
Sustainability,
with
Asheville
for
their
leadership
and
support
in
making
Asheville
a
community.
That's
committed
to
environmental
stewardship.
I
especially
want
to
thank
the
city
for
its
ongoing
support
of
the
creation
of
the
Blue
Horizons
project
which
I
coordinate.
N
This
is
a
project
that
empowers
everyone
in
our
community
to
take
advantage
of
free,
usually
free
resources
that
help
them
lower
their
energy
use
and
lower
our
community's
energy
demand,
and
that
helps
prevent
the
need
for
new
fossil
fuel
powered
power
plants
and
helps
create
our
cleaner
energy
future.
Here
in
Buncombe,
County
and
Asheville
I
invite
everyone
to
get
involved
at
Blue
Horizons
project
comm
to
take
action
today.
Thank
you.
So
much.
A
G
A
A
H
Of
Austin
mayor
council,
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
not
to
present
this
report.
First
I
want
to
say
that
we
sincerely
sympathized
with
the
frustration
our
customers
have
felt
over
the
recent
discolor
water
and
loss
of
water
in
certain
areas.
The
city
takes
these
instances
seriously,
and
we
understand
that
both
residences
and
businesses
depend
on
the
city
to
to
deliver
high-quality
water.
H
H
F
H
Okay
focus
them
back
on
the
manganese.
We
have
heightened
levels
of
manganese
which
we
tested
from
manganese
early.
All
when
the
first
instance
started,
we
had
some
increased
levels
or
heightened
levels
of
manganese.
Well
below
that.
The
two
point
two
zero
point:
two
threshold
through
flushing.
We
actually
got
that
down.
So
until
we
became
aware
it
was
a
bigger
issue,
a
few
of
the
test
runs
there.
H
Lessons
learned
what
we've
heard
from
our
customers
is:
the
timing
to
communications
and
the
clarity.
Other
messages
need
to
be
improved.
We
must
communicate
to
customers
beyond
the
immediate
area,
especially
in
major
events.
What
we
had,
and
both
of
these
data
little
bit
of
context
to
a
really
large
diameter
water
mains,
the
first
one
being
leaving
our
Black
Mountain
water
treatment
plant,
which
is
one
of
the
main
feeds
to
the
city
and
information,
must
be
clear
about
what
customers
should
do.
I.
H
H
So
we
feel
it's
not
fair
to
ask
them
to
pay
for
that
extra
water
that
we
ask
them
to
use.
So
the
villain's
adjustments
we're
still
working
out
the
details
on
how
we're
going
to
implement
that.
So
it
may
take
up
to
a
couple
of
months
to
fully
implement
that
if
anybody
has
any
custom,
you
need
questions.
They're,
welcome
to
call
the
customer
service
line
at
t51
1122
with
any
questions.
In
the
meantime.
H
Moving
forward
communication
improvements,
we
have
plans
in
place
to
make
internal
communication
improvements
with
the
team
we
have
here
at
the
city
plans
to
better
utilize,
our
email
alerts
to
communicate
during
a
significant
event.
We
do
a
really
good
job
with
our
normal
boil
water
advisories
that
we
started
doing
in
2016,
but
we
need
to
expand
that
in
these
kind
instances
to
help
get
the
word
out,
a
help
help
people
to
know
what
to
do.
In
these
situations-
and
we
need
to
be
clear,
we
need
to
clearly
state
what
to
do
and
update
that
is.
H
We
want
to
originate
this
communication,
so
you
know
that
we're
going
to
work
with
our
partners,
our
schools,
our
our
hospitals,
our
other
entities
throughout
the
community-
to
hopefully
get
them
to
call
us
first
and
let
us
update
them
and
give
them
the
message
and
actually
tell
them
what's
going
on
at
that
point
in
time
and
again,
the
information
is
available
on
the
city's
website
under
city
projects.
It's
a
good
way
to
stay
in
touch
and
I
think
a
real
good
step
in
a
direction
of
that
improvement.
We're
talking
about
and
I'll
be
happy.
L
Is
there
any
way
that
we
can
reach
out
to
renters,
even
though
they
may
not
be
paying
the
water
bill
itself,
because
I
assume
that
the
notifications
go
to
whoever
we
send
water
bills
to
is.
Is
there
a
wait
for
the
city
to
reach
renters
other
than
encouraging
everybody
to
get
on
asheville
alert?
That's.
H
H
Pretty
intuitive,
it's
the
same
as
on
the
city
website.
If
you
scroll
down
to
the
banner
and
click
on
reveal
alerts,
then
it's
got
it
lays
out
what
to
do.
It
takes
about
five
minutes
at
the
most
to
be
able
to
get
through,
and
you
can
sign
up.
You
can
get
the
messages
through
email
text,
phone
calls
or
a
combination
of
all
of
those.
So
it's
a
really
good
tool
and
we
even
use
it
internally
and
externally.
C
A
B
Q
A
B
Counsel,
Robert
Simmons
Parks
and
Recreation
Director
for
the
city
of
Asheville
coming
tonight
to
discuss
Memorial,
Stadium
and
mountainside
parking
and
how
those
facilities
are
being
used
in
terms
of
allocating
events
and
special
events
and
activities.
How
we're
managing
that
parking
plan
from
some
of
the
concerns
that
have
come
from
the
community
excuse.
C
B
B
So
the
area
it
was
definitely
night
in
our
neighborhood
recreational
service
plans
to
East
in
neighborhood
within
that
census
tract-
and
these
are
some
of
the
larger
blowout
scale
of
what
the
area
impacts
in
terms
of
if
you've
got
east
and
south
slope
downtown.
So
you
see
it's
real
tight
constricted
site
with
a
lot
of
urban
density
development
within
those
and
a
lot
of
connections,
so
the
mountainside
Park,
so
to
give
the
lay
of
the
land
at
the
northern
part
of
the
screen.
B
East
End
neighborhood
is
the
top
boundary
that
neighborhood
has
expanded
over
the
last
year's
there.
Five
hundred
unit
complex
is
right.
Next
to
the
mountainside
Park
mountainside
Park
was
named
after
a
housing
project
area
that
years
ago,
that
was
there
that
served
that
neighborhood,
with
kids
become
across
the
street.
We
use
the
park
when
that
development
was
tore
down.
B
The
park
hasn't
had
as
much
use
in
that
area,
but
the
park
is
still
there
known
as
as
a
part
so
that
that
neighborhood,
if
you
move
to
the
Mill
Park
Mountain
South
Park,
is
right
below
that
area.
That
green
area
going
to
appear
that
green
area
in
this
area
here
is
what
we
call
the
mountainside
park
and
it's
the
boundaries
is
pretty
much
that
triangle
piece
where
you
see
the
boundaries
of
natural
boundary
that
goes
around
for
the
playground.
B
All
the
way
circle
around
that's
considered
the
park,
so
that's
mountainside,
port
Memorial
Stadium
is
to
the
south
of
that
and
the
more
Morial
stadium
you
see
where
the
outline
track
starts
and
it
ovals
around
that
whole
playing
area
is
considered.
An
Oriole
stadium
to
the
east
west
of
that
McCulloch
feel
comic
field
incorporates
the
area
to
that
western
bound
all
the
way
over
to
the
Avenue.
B
Okay,
so
how
we
got
here
last
year,
when
I
mention
the
counsel
of
that
department,
we
no
longer
do
a
wide
community
wide
master
plan.
We
focused
in
on
the
neighborhood
service
plans
out
of
that
service
plan.
We
looked
at
what
are
some
of
the
key
issues
in
each
neighborhood
East
End
neighborhood
service
plan.
The
outlining
issues
was
parking
events
in
the
neighborhood,
the
impact
and
also
how
do
we
manage
community
use
versus
reeling
use,
and
a
lot
of
this
stemmed
from
the
2006
to
2007
pack
square
part
was
on
a
renovation
out
front.
B
B
Events
in
that
small
area,
in
fact
in
the
neighborhood,
got
to
be
a
bigger
issue
at
that
time.
So
when
the
park
reopened,
some
of
the
events
wasn't
allowed
to
move
back
because
the
park
wasn't
designed
some
decisions
with
the
stage
wouldn't
accommodate
some
of
the
uses.
So
at
that
time,
council
decided
a
couple
of
the
festival's
up
to
mountainside
a
Memorial
Stadium.
That's
when
we
start
having
concerts
and
things
like
that
up
there,
but
that
up
into
that
point
it
was
strictly
for
community
program
program
use.
So
with
that
increase
in
programming.
B
Also,
now
you
have
the
residential
development,
that's
up
there.
So
now
you
have
more
events,
yeah
residential
development,
and
we
have
tremendous
parking
issues
where
now
people
are
parking
in
the
park
right
away.
So
any
area
that's
available
for
parking
use
of
argument.
This
is
just
not
enough
parking
to
facilitate
all
the
programs
and
activities
the
two
largest
impacts.
We
have
seasonal
between
April
and
August
Asheville.
B
They
have
70
games
and
the
Asheville
soccer
club,
which
is
a
rental
they
request
23
days
of
use.
So
those
are
the
two
biggest
users
during
this
time
period
and
the
reason
they're
the
biggest
users
is
because
the
tourists
played
seven
home
games
max
minimum
of
three
to
four,
so
you're
playing
a
seven
then
stretch
with
three
or
four
thousand
people
in
a
neighborhood
and
then
Asheville
City
soccer
have
a
thousand
two
thousand
right
after
that.
B
So
some
days
you
may
have
nine
ten
days
row
in
a
row
with
two
or
three
thousand
people
coming
through
these
neighborhoods.
So
this
is
why
it's
grown
over
the
last
few
years
and
to
an
issue
so
addressing
that
impact.
So
looking
at,
how
can
we
work
to
listen
to
the
neighborhood
address
their
concerns
that
they've
had
for
a
number
of
years,
which
is
rightful
two
level
we
should
look
at
address
amount.
B
One
of
the
things
we
looked
at
was
pedestrian
as
access
only
to
the
mountain
side
park,
so
that
keeps
vehicles
from
traveling
uphill
Road
coming
through
that
small
narrow
strip
of
streets
to
access
the
back
side
of
mountain
side
park.
The
other
one
was
looking
at
the
front
open
space
and
the
right,
even
though
it's
not
designated
as
a
part,
the
community
identified
it
in
a
master
plan
that
they
would
like
to
see
it
as
a
park.
O
A
S
A
B
B
So
trying
to
preserve
that
in
true
nature
of
working
with
community
to
be
a
future
area
that
that's
some
park
area
and
in
maximizing
parking
with
limited
impact
on
the
neighborhoods
and
then
securing
alternate
locations
for
the
user
groups
that
we
have
agreement
with.
That,
we
know,
will
be
impacted
during
this
time
period
when
we
are
limiting
access
to
those
facilities
and
then
coming
up
with
a
draft
event
control
parking
plan
which
mr.
Putnam
will
go
over
later.
Talking
about
what
that
looks
like
and
how
we're
gonna
discuss
that
with
a
community
on
Thursday.
C
B
In
we're
hearing,
there
are
some
parking
challenge:
ins
impact
on
neighborhoods,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
and
also
now.
There
are
some
concerns
with
parking
on
intercourse,
one
of
the
things
that
was
mentioned
and
restricted
access
to
Memorial
Field.
This
is
some
of
the
comments
we've
heard
over
the
last
few
days.
So
what
does
it
look
like?
So
in
order
to
balance
out
the
using
of
uses
of
the
facility
trying
to
once
again
show
that
shared
space,
the
community
wanted
absolutely
no
parking
in
this
area.
B
One
of
the
things
that
we
work
with
the
tourists
was
to
scale
down
the
amount
of
area
that
they
were
using
for
their
staff
parking
so
up
at
the
top
of
the
mountain
side
park
up
in
this
area
that
whole
area
was
used
for
whole
area.
Right
here
was
used
for
tourist
point.
That's
where
that's
where
the
this
area
right
here
was
used
for
staff
party.
B
This
is
where
the
tour's
staff
used
for
overflow
wasn't
used
too
much
for
the
general
public,
but
every
game
for
70
games
in
that
park
is
where
they
park
their
staff
so
trying
to
work
with
them
to
say:
okay,
how
can
we
work
with
the
community
and
not
have
you
park
here?
How
can
we
reduce
some
of
that
so.
A
Broderick,
can
you
catch
us
up
here,
because
I
have
never
received
a
single
email
about
anyone
complaining
about
tourists,
staff
parking
in
the
mountainside
parking
area,
but
obviously
there's
been
a
conversation
happening
that
that
just
hasn't
come
to
council
from
this
issue.
So
tell
me
you
you're,
you
were
hearing
from
the
community
that
they
wanted.
They
didn't
want
the
tourists
to
be
parking
in
this
area
so
that
it
be
accessible
to
the
general
public
to
park
to
access
both
Memorial
and
the
playground.
That's
up.
There
know.
B
The
neighborhood's
wanted
to
use
it
for
open
space.
In
part
they
felt
it
was
a
part
that
should
be
cars
parked
in
on
grass.
So
if
they
wanted
to
go
walk
their
dogs,
I'm
gonna,
have
passive
use,
they
weren't
allowed
to
do
that.
I
say
unless
the
game
wasn't
they
play
it
and
when
the
game
a
game
was
taking
place,
then
the
traffic
would
then
impact,
make
much
lots
and
make
it
count.
I
use.
B
F
B
B
So
the
concerns
of
parking
on
truck
and
in
restricted
access
to
Memorial
Field.
So
one
of
the
things
that
we
also
try
to
do
is
working
with
the
tourists
they
have
historically
parked
30
40,
plus
50
plus
cars
in
this
area.
Working
with
the
neighborhood
saying
this
is
a
right-of-way.
We
recognize
this
the
right
way.
Yes,
it
looks
like
a
park,
so
how
can
we
in
the
short
term,
work
to
move
towards
that
as
we
go
through
the
design
process?
Moving
with
the
renovation
project
so
kind
of
getting
everyone
to
meet
halfway?
B
It
was
let's
limit
the
parking
on
this
site
once
again,
the
show
the
neighbors
that
we
do
here
you
the
impact
that
you're
having,
but
also
not
remove
all
completely
to
parking
from
the
tourist
and
handicap
them
from
being
able
to
have
some
parking
spots
where
they're
losing
30
here
and
then
losing
the
other
6070.
So
in
the
grassy
area,
up
north,
so
they're
they're
losing
parking
on
both
sides,
and
this
was
one
way
for
us
to
show
the
neighborhood
good
faith
and
work
with
the
tourists
for
them
to
work
with
us
to
say.
B
What
does
it
look
like
in
terms
of
control
and
access?
So
one
of
one
of
the
issues
we've
had
over
the
years
is
doing
the
tourist
games.
The
parking
172
slots
is
available
with
I've
been
open
all
day
for
any
news
for
any
public
use.
So
when
the
tourists
have
ball
games,
the
parking
lots
already
fool,
so
they
could
not
remove
cars
out
because
they
don't
pay
to
park.
So
you
couldn't
tow
cars
so
that
so
there
was
at
a
parking
deficit.
So
one
of
the
things
that
we
looked
at
was
okay.
B
If
we
could
utilize
this
space
for
your
event-
and
we
do
not
schedule
any
other
major
events
during
that
time,
so
that
this
parking
lot
will
be
dedicated
to
the
clinic
field
on
this
time.
Vice
versa,
if
we
had
a
dedicated,
vennett,
Memorial
Stadium,
we
wouldn't
have
anything
at
McCormick
field
and
the
parking
lot
would
be
dedicated
to
McCormick
field.
I
mean
Morris
Stadium
in
that
could
give
each
one
of
us
facilities
172
spots
for
their
event,
so
there
so
you're
not
sharing
spots
with
two
different
major
events.
B
In
order
to
make
that
happen,
two
things,
one
routes
that
we
groups
that
use
the
facility
provide
programs
on
our
behalf.
We
had
to
relocate
them
and
find
them
other
areas
to
offer
the
program
on
the
days
that
they're
affected
by
home
games
and
to
block
off
the
parking
lot
so
that
we
wouldn't
have
to
go
in
and
tokars,
which
would
not
be
a
good
thing
to
do
once
someone's
already
important
in
there,
whatever
well
again,
go
and
have
to
tow
them.
B
So
if
we
block
it
off
the
night
before
the
parking
lot
is
always
secured.
So
when
the
tour
staff
come
in,
they
can
already
have
access
to
it
and
still
a
parking,
logistic
wise.
It
just
made
it
a
little
easier
to
be
able
to
do
that.
The
public
can
still
walk
up
and
use
the
field
before
the
game
starts.
They
just
can't
drive
the
cars
up
there,
because
it's
hard
to
remove
the
cars
out
so.
A
T
A
Right
at
the
tip
of
that
right
away
before
you
enter
the
memorials,
Stadium
parking
areas,
kind
of
how
it
look,
how
about
so
the
barricades
they
go.
The
night
before
a
game
so
like
the
tourist
game,
is
in
an
evening.
You're
gonna
see
those
barricades
up
24
hours
before
so.
If
the
tourists
are
here,
if
they're
home
for
a
week,
basically
those
barricades
will
be
up
all
week
and
then
who
who
would
manage.
A
B
B
B
Individuals
when
they
go
up
to
do
that,
so
that's
where
you
get
me
pushback
from
as
these
groups
that
may
have
been
playing
for
years,
but
we
have
not
had
an
agreement
or
tried
to
facilitate
that
type
of
conversation.
We
didn't
formalize
them
I'm
selling.
We
just
don't
want
to
be
formalized,
so
it's
kind
of
hard
to
allocate
space,
but
if
we
knew
the
group
is
using
it
we
could
find
other
places
for
them.
Well,.
A
I
mean
ironically,
however,
the
the
use
on
the
mountain
side
park
side
is
off.
You
know,
that's
a
neighborhood
general
use,
it's
not
scheduled
a
program,
we
don't
have
a
contract
or
an
agreement
specifically
with
anyone
who's
using
it.
So
I
mean
to
me
the
you
know:
you
probably
get
more
regional
use
of
the
field
right.
It's
not
necessarily
people
who
live
in
the
neighborhood
they're
driving
over
to
play
soccer
with
their
friends
or
something
like
that.
Yeah.
U
B
B
G
B
L
S
G
C
G
C
G
But
before
we
get
there,
I
I
just
want
to
so
so,
if
I,
if
I
come
from
North
Asheville
to
play,
pickup
soccer
on
Memorial,
Stadium
and
and
I
I
reached
these
barricades.
Then
where
are
my
options
about
where
to
park?
Because
I
can't
park
in
mountainside
park
right
and
I
can't
park
in
the
right-of-way
and
then
I.
B
G
W
C
G
G
G
Right,
so
you
so
you
can't
park
there
either.
So
there
are
a
few
spaces
there
where
those
are
but
then
basically
you're
talking
about
parking
on
the
few
spaces
on
McCormick,
Place
or
MLK
I
mean
you're
talking
about
parking
a
fairly
bar,
a
fair
distance
away
to
come
play
pickup
soccer
on
Memorial,
Field,
okay,.
C
X
I
just
jump
in
real
quick
to
piggyback
off
of
that
just
say
four
years
the
tourist
is
all
as
Asheville
tours
baseball
has
been
a
major
attraction.
Parking
has
always
been
an
issue
to
where
people
park,
as
far
away
as
in
close
to
Nazareth
First
Baptist
Church
on
Martin
Luther
King.
That
is
a
significant
walk
just
to
the
tourist
baseball
game,
so
I
guess
what
I'm
getting
at
is.
There's
always
been
issues
with
parking.
X
That's
something
that
we've
never
really
tried
to
address
or
have
the
means
to
address,
and
so
I
would
just
say
that
just
keep
in
mind
that
issues
with
parking
around
the
tourists
baseball
stadium
is
not
something
that's
new
and
for
people
to
just
go
watch
a
tourist
game
park
nearly
a
mile
away.
Sometimes
it
took
to
walk
there.
So
that's
and
that's
and
I'm
saying
that
to
say
issues
that
people
may
have
with
parking
it's
nothing
new
and
then,
as
the
vice
mayor
stated
we're
not
telling
folks
they
can't
use
the
facility
you.
X
Your
parking
is
just
going
to
be
difficult,
as
it
is
difficult
for
tourists
to
serve
ask
for
tourists
to
service
their
their
patrons
when
they
come
to
see
their
own
game.
So
that's
that's
an
issue
down
the
road
that
that
may
have
to
be,
or
it
may
not.
I
don't
know.
But
at
this
juncture
its
I'm
just
letting
folks
know
that
that
at
parking
is
nothing
new
parking
issues.
F
B
So,
at
the
the
bottom
of
the
field,
whether
I
wish
I
had
a
rip
on
the
bottom
of
the
field
where
this
line
is,
you
know
this
is
where
the
asphalt
track
in
the
restrooms
are
the
tourists
with
their
staffing,
because
I
didn't
want
to
take
away
and
use
this
just
for
staffing
and
push
the
community
back
into
the
neighborhoods.
So
they
won't
use
this
right
here
for
their
employee
parking.
So
they
start
lining
the
cars
along
this
asphalt.
All
the
way
up
here
that.
B
Other
angle
and
I'll
show
it,
but
they,
the
concept
mayor,
was
for
the
the
tourists
to
start
lining
up
cars
here
and
work
their
way,
all
the
way
up
to
the
field
and
if
they
were
needed
to
eat
on
the
field
in
order
to
keep
from
spilling
over
I
said
that
was
okay,
because
the
condition
of
the
fields
in
we're
getting
ready
to
place
them.
They
explained
it
was
it
was
not.
B
A
So
I
you
know,
I
took
a
peek
up
there
on
Saturday
and
there
no
one
was
parked
on
the
you
know
the
paved
circular
area
they
were
lined
up
in.
Basically
what
would
be
the
end
zone
just
to
carps,
deep
there's
and
people
were
playing
soccer
on
the
field.
They
were
able
to
use
it,
but
I
was.
It
was
curious
to
me
why
they
weren't
just
on
the
grass
part.
That's
that
half
moon
shape
at
the
end
instead
I
mean
why
they
had
to
pull
all
the
way
under
the
turf
but
yeah.
B
And
then
speaking
with
the
Tourist
organization,
earlier
Ardoin
saw
baseball
earlier.
They're
gonna
try
to
use
all
of
the
hard
scape
first
before
just
placing
the
cars
on
the
turf
to
at
least
give
them
that
way
and
they're
worse
pickup
games
going
on
the
first
night
Thursday
doing
this
trial
run
to
see
how
that
worked,
and
there
were
soccer
games
going
on
on
the
far
end
of
the
facility
away
from
the
cars,
but
there
that
working
through
trying
just
to
minimize
how
much
we
took
very
entity
will
utilize.
So.
G
G
B
There's
never
been
des
important
and
then
we've
allowed
them
to
use
that
area
for
employees
parking,
but
it's
never
being
designated
as
in
point
point.
We
just
allowed
it.
So
when
there's
least
we
wanted
to
tighten
that
up
to
actually
have
some
language
in
it,
so
that
we
can
have
a
better
conversation
about
where
we
allowed
them
to
park
in
that
part,
because
historically,
we've
just
they've
just
it's
kind
of
like
the
squadron.
G
I
guess
it,
it
seems
to
me
like
what
we've
done
is
in
trying
to
accommodate
neighborhood
concerns
about
the
right-of-way
and
mountainside
Park
we
have
now.
We
have
pushed
that
into
Memorial
Stadium
and
impacted
people
who
use
Memorial
Stadium
on
a
regular
basis
and
I
mean
isn't
so.
The
fact
that
people
aren't
allowed
to
park
at
mountainside
park
and
in
the
right-of-way
is
is
part
of.
What's
driving
this
right.
The.
B
User
groups
that
we're
impacting
are
the
non
structure,
so
it
may
be
ten
individuals
or
maybe
200.
Maybe
what
we
have
it's
open
parks.
Anyone
can
use
it.
The
groups
that
we
have
a
structured
agreement
and
we
know
that
dates
and
times
we
have
accommodated
for
them.
They
are
not
at
this
location,
but
they
have
ample
parking
and
an
old
time
they're,
not
losing
any
time
any
program.
Time
I.
B
The
difference
right,
the
balance
is
right
because,
as
community
saying
we
want,
we
use
the
park,
and
you
have
cars
parked
out
here
and
this
apart.
What
do
you
have
cars
parked
on
so
that
same?
That
same
approach
is
what
the
neighborhood's
been
giving
us
for
the
last
three
years
of.
Why
are
you
allowing
them
to
use
that
as
a
parking
lot?
We
want
to
use
it.
This
is
open
space,
it
needs
to
be
public.
We
need
to
use
it.
B
We
can't
use
it
because
you
have
cars
on
it,
so
it's
the
same
so
we're
in
a
jam
just
trying
to
figure
it
out
and
and
the
reason
why
we
want
to
have
this
conversation
now
is
because
when
the
facility
is
renovated,
there's
not
going
to
be
any
parking
at
all.
So
you,
the
only
parking
they
have.
Is
the
hydrants
a
go-to
spot,
because
the
project
is
not
giving
us
any
important,
so
they're
there
they're
gonna
have
to
make
adjustments.
B
So
if
we
try
to
accommodate
and
and
not
find
a
way,
they
have
share,
share
win-win
situations,
and
everyone
gives
up
a
little
bit.
Somebody's
got
to
lose,
I
mean
you've,
got
anything
to
say,
we're,
not
gonna
regulate
parking,
doing
tours
games.
It's
a
free-for-all.
Show
up.
First
come
first
serve
your
part
rate,
one
part,
I
am
or
we're
gonna
say
we're.
You
know,
gonna
not
limit.
B
The
number
of
Vince
we're
gonna
have
what
we
have
going
on
at
the
same
time
and
the
neighborhood's
going
to
fill
all
this
so
right
now,
it's
kind
of
just
long-term.
What
are
we
going
to
address
and
from
a
policy
decision
to
say,
here's
how
we're
looking
at
the
character
of
the
neighborhoods
and
user
groups
may
come
and
go
the
neighborhood's
going
to
be
different
and.
X
X
The
neighborhood
makeup
has
changed,
of
course,
but
over
the
years,
individuals
in
those
in
those
neighborhoods
have
had
to
deal
with
issues
with
parking
from
tourists
baseball
for
many
years
and
to
the
point
where
you
know
I
hear
I
hear
someone
you
know,
I
hear
you
saying
you
know
it's
hard
for
us
to
get
there
to
play
soccer
because
we
can't
park.
Imagine
pulling
up
to
your
house
and
there's
two
cars
already
in
the
driveway.
You
got
a
park,
a
quarter-mile
away
from
your
house
to
get
in,
and
that
is
the
truth.
X
That
happens
it's
in
front
of
in
front
of
miles
and
other
neighbors
houses,
and
it's
happened
for
years.
So
I
empathize
with
folks
who
have
to
walk
a
little
bit
to
play
soccer.
But
what
about
the
effects
that
neighborhood
surrounding
neighborhoods
East
End
have
had
for
years?
Where
they've
had
to
you
know,
do
the
same
thing
and
and
not
be
able
to
give
it
to
their
own
own
house,
and
so
it's
one
of
those
we
do
have
to
strike
a
balance.
X
But
we
do,
in
my
opinion,
have
to
err
on
the
side
of
caution
with
with
neighborhoods,
with
with
what
those
folks
have
to
endure,
because
over
the
years,
those
songs,
some
of
those
same
folks
on
a
different
side
of
the
the
park
over
there
have
had
to
endure
Hey.
The
tourists
fans
can
park
there,
it's
public
public
street
and
if
they
fill
up
your
app
right
in
front
of
your
house
and
all
the
way
up
in
the
street
in
there
they're
there
until
10:00
11:00
at
night.
X
Nothing
you
can
do
about
it,
can't
have
family
over
or
whatever
it's
I
mean
that's
how
it
is,
and
so
those
folks
just
have
to
eat
that
for
years
and
so
I
empathize
with
them.
Just
as
I
do
empathize
with
the
folks
who
want
to
come
play
soccer
and
it
gives
them
a
headache
because
they
have
to
walk
a
little
bit
but
I'm.
Just
thinking
about
everybody.
A
A
It
is
not
typically
the
role
of
council
to
to
dip
into
parks
and
recs
weeds,
but
we
have
been
lately,
you
know,
but
so
so
this
was
sort
of.
The
purpose
of
this
is
to
provide
information.
Ultimately,
you
know
the
manager
is
over
the
all
the
departments,
including
Parks
and
Rec,
and
these
are
staff
decisions,
but
because
this
had
risen
to
such
a
level
of
of
concern
within
this
neighborhood
area
that
we
thought
we
oughta
take
this
opportunity
to
make
this
presentation
so
I
just
want
to
give
that
context.
A
One
other
thing,
I
think
Roderick
might
be
helpful,
for
the
public
to
understand
is:
why
is
the
city
working
to
accommodate
the
tourists
in
particular,
when
you
know
we
wouldn't
be
in
the
situation
at
all?
If
this
were
any,
you
know
private
company
or
other
group,
but
but
the
fact
that
we
actually
own
the
tourist
field
and
facility,
and
we
that
we,
the
city
and
Memorial
Stadium,
and
we
lease
it
to
the
tourists.
A
So
we
have
this
special
relationship
with
them
and
we
have
components
to
that
lease
agreement
that
we're
trying
to
meet
as
my
understanding
of
why
the
city
is
working
to
accommodate
the
tourists
staffing
parking
concerns,
if
you,
if
you
could
just
address
that,
just
a
you
know
just
in
case
anyone's
or
scratched
our
had
gone.
Why
are
we
worried
about
the
course
here
in
this
situation?
Yes,.
B
B
Right
and-
and
we
want
to
war
agreement
when
war
agreement
was
dissolved,
the
facility
came
back
over
for
us
to
manage
in
2004,
so
we
managed
up
at
that
point
now.
The
sports
in
Detroit
had
the
contract
and
they
sold
it.
At
that
time
we
were
trying
to
get
the
contract
more
like
a
contract
more
like
a
major
league.
My
league
city
contract
nada
shake
type
of
deal
because,
as
you
can
imagine,
just
the
history
of
how
that
stadium
has
evolved
in
there
was
not
a
lot
of
stuff
in
place
to
well.
B
So
what
we
try
to
do
is
is,
if
we're
allowing
them
to
use
the
facility
saying:
okay,
let's
give
them
dedicated
spots
where
they
can
use,
so
they
they
know
for
their
business
mall.
They
have
these
spots
to
use
and
they
can
count
on
them
before
they
have
no
spots
to
count
on
now
at
all
and
from
a
perspective
of
good
business.
If
you're
gonna
have
a
industry
using
a
facility,
that's
that's
managing
having
some
form
of
parking
that
they're
guaranteed
for
their
business
model
just
makes
sense.
B
But
how
do
we
do
that
when
the
cows
already
left,
the
barn
is
what
we're
trying
to
get
to
now
is
how
do
we
formalize
that
so
that
that,
when
we're
negotiating
with
them,
we
can
say
hey?
Clearly,
you
have
170
spots
and
that's
on
a
table,
and
it's
not
oh,
we
used
to
park
over
here
and
then
we
can
even
park
down
here
and
one
of
the
other
things
I'm
looking
at
working
with
the
tortoises
overflow
parking
like
Stevens,
Lee
and
Public
Works,
and
some
of
the
other
city
facilities.
B
B
You're,
not
even
for
the
tourists
this
year,
we're
doing
a
temporary
for
their
staff
to
get
through
it,
but
once
we
renovate
that
brand
new
facility
there's
no
cars
parked
inside
the
facility
at
any
time,
so
that's
going
to
put
burden
on
the
user
groups
putting
burden
on
the
tourists
putting
burden
on
the
special
events,
but
we
think
that's
it
just
has
to
be
said.
Right
I
mean
that's.
You
know
it
is.
What
is
all
we're?
Gonna
continue
to
have
these
these
issues
of
trying
to
balance
out
there's
a
lot
of
times.
B
P
C
P
B
Doing
it
a
little
early
yeah,
so
our
experience
with
Bill
share
was
when
you
try
to
go
out
and
tokars
within
a
boundary.
After
hours,
car
stays
there
all
night,
and
then
you
end
up
having
to
tow
them,
and
then
it
gets
a
bad.
It
just
gets
to
be
a
bad
situation.
So,
yes,
we
could
allow
cars
in
there
and
ask
people
to
move,
but
the
only
way
to
get
them
out
is
to
tell
them,
and
we
just
don't
want
to
get
into
that
scenario.
I.
B
A
C
A
G
P
J
B
B
A
B
No
parking
here
sure,
what's
the
plan,
the
far
right
is
is
mountainside.
That's
the
interest
way
to
mountains.
That
part.
It's
a
couple
of
issues
we
have
in
there
with
the
residential
units.
That's
right
back
up
against
the
park.
Over
the
last
two
years,
their
residents
have
been
parking
in
the
park.
The
park
closes
at
ten
o'clock.
You
still
have
residential
park
apartment
users
parking
in
the
park
as
their
own
personal
space.
This
first
issue.
B
The
second
issue
we
have
is
dumped
dumping,
solid
waste,
the
we
have
trash
bins
in
there
serving
both
facilities,
and
we
have
continues
the
problems
over
the
last
three
years,
with
more
and
more
debris
and
waste
being
dumped
in
there
that
we're
having
to
pay
for
because
the
citizens
are
not
taking
them
to
the
to
the
right
spots.
So
two
for
one.
B
It
helps
us
one
eliminate
impact
and
cars
driving
through
the
neighborhood
two
cars
parked
in
the
park
when
it's
not
designed
to
be
a
support
and
facility
for
the
apartment,
complex
and
two
citizens
using
it
as
illegal
dumping
ground.
So
those
three
areas
we
address
with
just
making
that
one
change
and
you
can
still
walk
through
that
are
we
just
saying
you
can't
drive
through
them.
B
The
right
away,
the
saying
we're
working
with
the
community
and
once
we
can
get
to
the
design
decision,
we
will
be
able
to
start
having
more
feminine
conversations
about
what
that
looks
like
right.
Now,
it's
gonna
be
some
type
of
what,
when
space
can't
say
how
much
how
little
just
depends
on
once.
You
look
at
the
construction,
drawings
and
the
site
constraints
what's
allowed
and
what's
not
allowed.
B
If
we
want
to
try
to
keep
as
much
green
space
as
we
can
as
downtown
urbanized
and
we
become
distant
populated,
it's
going
to
be
hard
to
really
react,
Lane
green
spaces.
So
we
want
to
protect
as
much
green
space
as
we
can,
while
we're
doing
redevelopment
and
to
you
so
as
much
as
make
sense.
We're
gonna
try
to
clip
his
green
space
for
that
neighborhood.
A
B
C
X
Y'all
are
getting
that
together.
I
will
say
this
for
for
folks
who
get
the
enjoyment
of
Memorial
Stadium
to
go,
play
pickup
soccer
or
whatever
that
you're
doing
is
that's
a
that's
a
huge
advantage.
I,
remember
and
I,
keep
saying
like
I'm
this
old
guy,
not
but
I.
Remember
when
I
was
a
kid
that
we
used
to
hatch
to
have
to
squeeze
my
little
fat
self
between
the
gates,
because
they
would
be
locked
because
the
kids
in
the
neighborhood
couldn't
use
the
field
and
we
would
sneak
in
to
play
football
now.
That's
not
the
case.
X
Y
Good
evening,
mayor
and
council
members,
my
name
is
Ken
Putnam
on
the
transportation
department
director.
The
purpose
of
the
traffic
control
parking
plan
that
we're
developing
is
to
minimize
the
negative
impacts
on
the
neighborhood
streets
in
the
East
End
and
Oakhurst
neighborhoods.
It
will
also
serve
as
a
baseline
for
all
of
the
scheduled
events,
so
this
would
be
something
that,
even
if
we
had
a
new
scheduled
event
at
a
very
minimum,
this
is
what
they
would
be
shared
with.
This
is
what
they
would
have.
They
would
have
the
parking
available
available
to
them.
Y
Y
The
plan
basically
calls
for
no
event
parking
on
the
neighborhood
streets
in
the
two
neighborhoods
that
I
mentioned
right
adjacent
to
the
facilities
and
to
help
do
to
accomplish
that.
We've
identified
four
intersections
that
must
be
staffed
by
trained
contracted
security
type
parking
person
that,
for
example,
that
the
folks
that
the
tourists
use
now
and
we've
also
been
told
that
the
soccer
club
uses
the
same
individuals.
The
advantage
to
that
is
they're,
always
the
same
people
with
very
little
turnover,
and
so
they
know
how
to
do
it
once
they
get
trained.
Y
What
we
plan
to
do
and
working
with
the
communities
themselves
is,
we
want
to
monitor
the
effectiveness
of
these
intersections
that
are,
will
be
staffed
to
make
sure
that
we
try
to
minimize
the
on
street
parking
that
might
occur
during
a
game
on
these
streets,
and
then
we
will
try
to
tweak
and
make
change
for
the
future
years.
Based
on
the
information
that
we
receive
back
from
the
neighborhoods
Jim.
Y
The
it's
right
to
right
to
the
west
east
and
it
would
be
the
two
streets,
their
hunt,
Hill
and
the
one
leading
up
from
Martin
Luther
King
into
the
complex
and
then
on
the
Bo
Eastside
Oak
Oakhurst.
It's
all
the
streets
that
are
between
will
say,
st.
Joseph
Hospital
and
the
ball
field.
White
fawn,
Florence
Veronica
as
well.
That's
where
it
begins
is
right.
There
Veronica.
A
Okay,
any
questions
for
Ken
okay.
So
if
you're
here
on
this
item-
and
you
want
to
speak-
you
don't
have
to
speak,
but
if
you're
here
and
remember
we're
not
voting
on
anything
so,
but
if
you,
if
you
want
to
speak,
you
can
you'll
need
to
raise
your
hand.
Well,
when
you
come
up
to
speak
to
state
your
name
and
you'll
have
three
minutes
and
just
watch
the
lights
on
the
lectern
green
means
go
orange
means
you're
about
to
stop
and
read,
and
the
beep
means
stop,
and
so
please
be
mindful
of
that.
Z
Z
Z
My
apology
is
on
the
board
of
directors
of
Asheville
ultimate
club.
We
are
a
not-for-profit
organization
that
runs
a
youth
league
on
Wednesdays
at
Memorial
Stadium,
an
adult
league,
every
Wednesday
night,
at
Memorial
Stadium.
In
the
summer
times
we
have
Monday
nights
for
both
adult
unit,
youth
and
beginners
League
at
Memorial
Stadium,
and
we
also
have
pickup
ultimate,
where
we
occasionally
do
free
youth
clinics
on
Sundays
at
Memorial
Stadium.
Z
We
have
been
asked
to
forego
all
of
our
time
at
Memorial
Stadium
on
Wednesday
nights.
Not
have
a
youth
league
run
there
or
the
adult
league.
The
adult
league
is
what
funds
the
youth
leagues.
We
actually
pay
the
coaches
as
part
of
the
nonprofit
to
run
those
leagues,
and
we
have
been
asked
for
over
half
of
our
nights
this
summer
to
be
canceled
or
move
to
other
locations.
If
possible,
we
have
not
been
given
solutions
for
every
single
night
near
nearly
every
event
that
we
have.
Z
So
we
are
going
to
have
to
cancel
nights
of
our
adult
League
of
our
youth
league
and
of
our
clinics
all
summer
long
to
accommodate
parking
for
the
Asheville
tourists
and,
while
I
am
a
big
supporter
of
Asheville
tourists,
I
love
going
to
the
games
I
just
don't
feel
that
it's
right
to
get
rid
of
our
space-
that
is
a
very
organized
space
like
I,
said,
run
by
a
non-profit
non-for-profit.
This
is
not
a
pickup
situation
at
all.
We
support
over
300
adults
that
take
part
in
our
adult
League
and
over
200
youth.
Z
On
top
of
that,
we
also
do
like
I
mentioned
the
free
clinic,
so
we
work
with
schools
such
as
Montford,
North,
Franklin,
school
of
innovation,
rainbow
community
charter,
school
Evergreen,
Community,
Charter,
School,
Francine,
Delaney,
a
Nashville
middle.
All
students
and
youth
from
those
schools
are
supported
by
Asheville
ultimate
Club
and
the
money
that
we
raise
through
our
adult
leagues
to
support
the
youth
leagues
at
no
cost
and
right
now
we
are
losing
our
opportunity
to
keep
those
leagues
going
this
summer
so
that
we
can
have
parking
at
Memorial,
Stadium,
I'm
gonna.
Z
AA
A
AA
Very
much
first
of
all
things
it's
a
parking
record.
We
have
a
great
relationship
with
them
and
they
are
probably
in
the
worst
position.
It's
a
lot
of
mountainside
and
green
space
is
hard
to
find
that's
purpose
for
athletic
facilities,
and
we've
worked
with
partner
it
for
a
long
time
and
I
know
that
we're
one
of
the
constituents
there's
many
others
and
it's
a
difficult
balance.
So,
first
of
all,
thank
you
and
and
give
an
example
of
some
of
the
youth
programs.
We
try
to
run
and
we
are
still
working
to
coordinate
this
change.
AA
We
want
to
keep
our
programming,
and
the
point
to
be
made
for
us
is
that
our
adult
league
is
a
adult
recreational
league,
but
it
does
have
a
trickle-down
effect
and
it
helps
us
from
beginner
programs
and
youth
programs,
and
so
those
will
be
affected
as
well.
During
these
changes
and
are
there
soccer
people
here?
Okay,
then
they
can
speak
for
themselves.
They
have
a
huge
program
for
a
pickup
soccer.
Game
happens
pretty
much
every
day
and
there's
a
lot
of
participants
in
use.
AA
There's
also
a
lacrosse
program
that
uses
the
fields
at
night
and
I
would
say:
lacrosse
and
ultimate
are
pretty
organized
and
we
self
organize.
So
we
can
do
a
lot
of
youth
outreach,
so
we
really
do
have
a
lot
of
connections
to
the
community.
So
we
understand
that
the
Memorial
Park
is
going
through
changes.
It's
gonna
be
your
work
next
year
and
mountainside
Park
right
now
is
pretty
much
a
lot
of
ruts
mud
and
dirt.
AA
It
is
not
a
great
park
and
that's
just
because
it
has
a
ton
of
use
for
parking
right
now
and
again,
that's
just
a
really
hard
balance
to
work
with.
So,
if
that's
leaving
next
year,
we
just
want
to
reiterate
the
question
that
this
is
having
a
negative
effect
on
us
and
it
seems
to
prioritize
tourists,
the
baseball
team
as
well
as
people
visiting.
We
understand
how
important
that
is
to
Asheville
and
I,
understand
that
the
residents
have
a
very
loud
voice
because
they
live
there
and
they
don't
have
another
option.
AA
Excuse
me,
unlike
and
I,
just
came
from
work
if
we
look
unprepared
it's
only
because
it's
a
short
term
and
we're
doing
our
best,
so
we
are
organized
as
we
can
be.
This
affects
a
lot
of
our
community
and
we're
still
going
to
continue
work
with
Park
and
Rec.
Sock
will
have
a
lot
of
good
things
to
say
and
you'll
see
a
lot
of
voices
and
a
lot
of
people
really
love
memorial.
AA
For
that
reason,
it
was
recently
researched
and
I
know
the
city
put
a
lot
of
money
into
upgrading
those
athletic
facilities,
and
if
there's
a
few
sticky
points,
it
would
be.
Please
don't
park
cars
on
the
only
place
we
can
play
our
sports.
You
can
park.
Car
and
I
grab
a
lot,
but
we
can't
play
ultimate
and
soccer
autograph
a
lot.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
taking
some
time
to
listen
and
hear
some
of
our
perspectives.
Thank.
C
A
C
U
Everybody
I
didn't
know
why
I
was
coming
tonight.
I
just
wanted
to
get
involved
in
the
community
and
really
I
just
came
to
sit
and
listen.
What
you
guys
actually
struck
a
topic.
That's
very
important
to
me:
I
think
public
transportation
and
multimodal
transportation,
and
this
community
is
really
important.
It's
not
our
name.
My
name
is
Michael
Stratton.
Sorry,
my
thought
is.
So.
How
is
this
not
come
up
during
this
conversation?
We're
talking
about
parking,
we're
talking
about
community
we're
talking
about
letting
people
you
know
have
a
say
and
we
have
and
and
like
mr.
U
mrs.
Mather
had
mentioned,
we're
just
moving
a
problem
from
one
place
to
another,
just
to
accommodate
cars.
What's
the
process
for
forgetting
better
bussing
in
town?
Actually,
I
wanted
to
come
here
on
the
bus
today
and
I
got
on
the
bus
and
in
Oakley
it's
that's
where
I
live
and
I
got
on
the
bus.
I
had
I
had
a
nice
app.
It
was
supposed
to
tell
me
get
on
the
bus
and
then
make
this
changeover
Swannanoa
River,
never
in
the
bus
before
well.
The
connection
was
missed
because
the
bus
was
two
minutes
late.
C
U
Or
getting
better
buses,
nobody
writes
the
buses
because
they
only
come
once
every
hour.
How
do
you
rely
on
that?
So
anyone
I
think
I
think
the
buses
that
I'm
not
trying
to
tell
you
how
to
do
your
jobs,
but
I
think
if
we,
if
we
kind
of
focus
on
that
issue,
we're
getting
to
burst
once
don't
hear.
That's
all
I
have
to
say
thanks
thanks.
Yes,.
D
We
we
understand
the
challenges
that
are
in
front
of
us
and
there's
more
than
2,000
recreational
soccer
players
that
are
participating
in
the
pickup.
No,
that's
not
on
a
regular
basis.
We
probably
have
anywhere
from
forty
to
sixty
people.
Sometimes
we
have
so
many
people.
We
actually
have
to
play
both
sides
of
the
field,
so
our
issues
very
similar
to
ultimate
is
we
would
just
risk.
You
know
ask
for
respect
that
the
fields
that
we
play
on
whenever
they
are
open
to
the
public
that
there's
no
vehicles
being
parked
on
those.
D
We
also
have
a
semi-pro
of
soccer
team
that
plays
on
that
same
space
and
that
field
has
been
terrible
for
years
and
I
mean
we've
had
multiple
people
that
have
injured.
You
know.
Ankles
I
just
have
an
ankle,
sprain
myself
right
now,
so
I
think
that's
one
of
the
biggest
issues
many
times
because
we
are
pickup
and
we're
not
necessarily
an
organized
sport.
We
have
to
go
other
places.
We
go
to
Buncombe,
County,
Sports,
Park
and
play
on
field
eight,
because
a
be
why
I
say
and
a
BSA.
D
D
We'll
have
to
go
down
there
when
there's
other
events
being
held
at
Memorial,
so
we're
pretty
flexible
in
our
desire
to
place
a
game
that
we
really
love,
and
it's
also
a
great
place
for
inner-city
youth
to
come
in
during
the
week
or
during
the
weekends,
and
during
the
day,
in
the
middle
of
the
summer,
which
many
of
them
don't
have
transportation
to
actually
come
to
the
field.
So
we
really
try
to
encourage
in
open
environment
where
people
that
may
not
have
busing
to
go
to
JBL's.
D
So
when
we
go
from
Memorial
where
we
might
have
6070
people
on
a
weekend,
if
we
have
to
go
to
JBL
or
canler
the
numbers
dwindle
drastically,
so
having
a
space
in
the
city
where
we
can
actually
walk
to
from
our
work.
In
the
middle
of
the
day,
many
people
work
in
the
brewing
industry.
Many
people
work
and
live
in
the
area
and
walk
to
those
spaces.
D
So
having
the
ability
to
park
during
the
day,
our
games
are
from
12:30
to
2:00
we're
not
playing
into
the
into
the
time
when
you
know
the
tourists
are
playing
their
games
many
times
we're
gone
before
2
o'clock,
so
I
guess
what
we're
asking
is
just
to
respect
the
fact
that
this
is
a
public
space
we
want
to
use
it.
We
try
to
respect
it.
We
pick
up
after
ourselves
when
there's
trash
from
the
field
and.
AB
And
what
I've
seen
happen
is
they're
limiting
use
of
the
field,
whether
they
admit
to
it
or
not,
and
so,
like
my
son's
lacrosse
league
has
not
been
able
to
go
up
there.
They
don't,
they
can't
have
any
practices
up
there.
The
means
lacrosse
league
has
not
been
able
to
have
their
season
up
there
and
basically
the
the
tourists
in
the
beginning.
When
they
put
this
into
action
with
no
guidelines,
they
were
limiting
us
from
going
up
there
with
till
Walker
our
pets.
Even
so
we've
we
have
seen
them
actually
limiting
use
of
the
field.
AB
They
said
that
they
they
were
limiting
use
of
the
field
to
keep
the
cars
from
being
damaged,
especially
the
ones
parking
up
on
the
turf
and
now
that
that
that
the
cars
are
pulled
back
I,
don't
see
why
we
can't
have
full
use
of
the
facilities
and
I
also
don't
understand
why
six
other
groups
are
being
displaced
for
programming.
I.
Don't
understand
that
at
all
my
son's
lacrosse,
like
I,
said
the
men's
lacrosse
flag
football.
AB
It
is
a
resident
of
the
neighborhood.
The
parking
you
were
talking
about
the
pictures
I
wish
I
could
pull
them
up
for
you,
you're
talking
about
being
able
to
park
below
the
barriers.
Just
so
you
know
those
barriers
are
up
at
7:00
in
the
morning
that
picture
I
took
they
used
was
at
7:00
in
the
morning.
AB
So
by
noon,
when
we
get
there,
every
single
space
is
full
with
tourist
management
parking
later
in
the
day
they
take
their
cars
and
they
move
up
the
hill,
but
until
then
they
use
all
the
parking
down
at
the
bottom,
so
the
residents
there
are
limited
to
their
own.
You
know
areas
and
then
anybody
that
wants
to
visit
the
field.
It's
not
just
a
walk.
It's
a
it's,
a
you
have
to
find
somewhere
down
in
the
city
to
park.
AB
Going
on
with
that,
so
when
we're
talking
about
parking,
he
said
it's
a
lunchtime
thing
and
I
know.
Keith
has
said
people
need
to
walk
a
little
bit
to
get
up
the
field.
Yes,
you're
right,
you
know
it
doesn't
hurt
anything
but
a
lot
of
the
times.
People
are
going
on
their
lunch
break,
so
they
have
to
be
able
to
get
to
and
from
the
field,
there's
not
a
shower
facility
or
anything.
It's
something
they're
trying
to
do
in
a
quick
time
and
finally,
I
do
think.
AB
It's
really
sad
that
we're
seeing
public
land
something
we've
all
enjoyed
going
to
a
private
entity
for
them
to
be
able
to
park
when
this
is
actually
a
sports
facility.
It's
not
a
parking
lot
and
the
programming
this,
the
four
nights
a
week,
70
days
out
of
the
summer,
that
the
programming
is
being
displaced,
we're
losing
thank.
AC
Hey
my
name
is
Jonathan
Wainscott
it
just.
It
seems
like
we're
trying
to
ask
too
much
of
our
public
land,
and
it
seems
problematic
that
you
know
we
released
this
to
the
tourists
for
a
specific
reason.
Now
we're
trying
to
get
the
use
of
the
baseball's.
You
know
function
in
our
community
that
we
have
a
minor
league
baseball
team
here
and
maintain
this
as
a
public
property.
AC
You
know
it's
like
having
your
cake
and
eating
it
too,
there's
just
only
so
much
that
you
can
do
and
I'm
a
little
confused
as
to
why
we
don't
understand
the
impact
of
the
tourists
staff
parking
when
we're
leasing
to
that.
Essentially,
you
know
that
company,
where
the
landlords
and
where
the
the
owners
were
kind
of
don't
understand
what
kind
of
impact
that
activity
has
on
it.
I
think
that
we'd
probably
have
to
make
some
hard
choices.
I
meant
played
soccer
when
I
was
a
kid.
AC
AC
This
is
public
lands,
for
you
know
the
use
of
the
people
who
live
here.
The
people
who
live
here
are
having
more
and
more
interests
in
things
that
are
not.
You
know
the
same
as
the
East
End
community
and
I
think
that
we
should
probably
just
limit
what
goes
on
there
to
the
we
should
have
charged
them
a
reasonable
rate,
and
they
know
that
that
you
know
minor
league
teams
get
a
free
place
to
play.
That's
the
standard
protocol
we
could
have
the
TVA
reimburse
their
rent.
AC
You
know,
so
we
could
have
made
something
off
of
this,
but
it's
like
it's
confusing.
You
know
we
rented
this
to
the
tourists
for
a
dollar
a
year
and
gave
them
all
of
the
equipment
to
maintain
all
of
this
stuff.
And
that's
you
know
it
just
there's
not
a
real,
sensible
business
plan
around
any
of
this,
so
I
just
wanted
to
you
know,
consider
it
maybe
through
an
equity
lens
as
well.
You
know
what
what
impacts
the
community
at
large
by
trying
to
please
everybody
and
give
everybody
a
place
to
play
and
I
mean.
AC
Maybe
we
don't
have
room
for
frisbee
in
the
middle
of
town.
We
don't
have
enough
room
for
soccer,
because
the
other
soccer
field
is
being
flooded.
You
know
we
got
a
problem
with
that.
We
live
in
a
mountainous
area.
We
only
have
so
much
flat
space.
We
can't
make
everybody
happy
all
the
time
and
we're
just
running
out.
I
mean
the
more
people
that
we
stuff
in
here.
The
more
people
were
trying
to
please
and
making
that
problem.
That's
impossible.
Even
you.
AC
S
Come
to
speak
tonight
about
this
particular
issue,
but
I
am
a
Nashville
native,
do
enjoy
going
to
the
tour
Stadium
I've
played
dig
up
a
soccer,
and
ultimate
here.
I
have
friends
that
live
in
the
neighborhood
and
have
friends
that
work
for
the
tourists.
I
am
a
little
confused
about
who
the
beneficiary
is
here
o'clock
in
these
spaces
off.
It
seems
to
me,
like
the
only
people
who
are
really
gonna
have
an
advantage.
S
I
can
see
the
benefit
of
not
having
tire
tracks
in
it
being
all
torn
up
for
the
neighbors
when
it's
not
being
used
for
parking,
but
I
was
there
the
other
day
there
were
three
people
down
there
walking
their
dogs,
while
the
tourists
were
in
session
seems
to
be
a
decision.
That's
are
you
made
since
their
stones
there?
S
This
is
a
difficult
issue
for
you
guys.
I,
understand
that
we
parking
in
Nashville
in
general
has
been
a
problem
and,
as
it
grows,
is
continue
to
be
more
of
a
problem.
I
can
remember
being
able
to
come
downtown
and
park
anywhere
anytime.
You
wanted
to,
but
I
am
just
confused
about
who
is
really
pushing
this
issue.
Blocking
the
whole
place
off
for
a
select
few
doesn't
seem
to
me
to
be
the
right
thing
to
do.
C
A
Else:
okay,
so
that
that
was
one
of
our
longer
presentations,
so
that
you
know
just
based
on
the
comments.
I
heard,
there's
still
a
lot
of
confusion
about
what's
going
on
here
and
I.
Think
you
know
what
I
heard
is
that
when
we
do
communications
on
this,
probably
going
to
need
to
use
continue
some
kind
of
math
or
something
because
so,
if
I
understand
what's
going
on
here
correctly,
the
mountain
side
park
is
not
accessible
to
vehicles
so
that
the
neighborhood
can
use
it.
A
People
are
walking
their
dogs
are,
that
is
on
the
no
north
side
of
Memorial
Stadium.
On
the
south
side,
we
have
the
issue
of
the
barricades
that
will
block
off
parking
and
the
tourists
staff
will
use
the
as
I
hear
tonight,
they're
going
to
park
up
on
the
Memorial
Stadium
area,
but
not
on
the
turf,
unless
absolutely
necessary,
and
if
they're
on
the
turf
they're
going
to
be
in.
What's
essentially
the
end
zone.
A
I
myself
on
Saturday
I
saw
the
tourists
were
parked
on
the
turf,
but
the
whole
field
was
being
used
for
a
pickup
soccer
game
at
the
time.
So
so
the
other
confusing
that
I
heard
here
is
that
the
field,
if
it's
available
people
can
still
get
up
there
and
play
pick
up
soccer
pick
up.
Ultimate
Frisbee
pick
up
lacrosse
whatever,
but
there
are.
A
There
are
certain
groups
that
we
actually
have
arrangements
with
that
have
been
asked
to
not
use
the
facility
during
certain
times
throughout
this
tourist
season,
and
we
heard
from
Ultimate
Frisbee
who
has
a
arrangement
and
I
think
soccer
has
a
formal
reach
right,
so
I
mean
a
one
outstanding
question.
After
all,
this
is
much
clearer
for
me,
but
one
outstanding
question
I
would
have.
Is
you
know
if
the
tourist
can
manage
to
park
their
cars,
essentially
in
the
end
zone
or
beyond?
A
A
Parking
but
but
why
don't
why?
Why
wouldn't
we
allow
them
views
the
field
if
no
one's
you
know
essentially
on
the
plane
portion
of
the
field
dirt
during
game
days
and
nights
and
I,
don't
know
if
you
know
the
answer
that
Roderick
right
now
thought
was
looked
at
or
if
that's
an
adjustment
we
could
consider
or
again
we're
not
the
decision-makers.
We
do
like
to
metal
and
micromanage,
and
then
we
have
to
be
restrained
from
doing
that.
But
yes,.
B
B
B
So
with
them,
we've
found
alternative
locations
where
they
can
have
the
same
set
up
they're,
just
not
a
more
of
a
mountain
side
portal,
so
you
have
the
same
set
up
at
UNCA
so
that
the
only
thing
is.
If
a
group
wants
to
go
up,
I
have
a
pickup
game,
we're
not
stopping
it.
We're
not
saying
you
can
that's
why
the
other
night
they're
up
there
playing
soccer
or
doing
today,
the.
B
G
B
Foreigners
are
not
parked
on
it.
Yes,
on
the
foreign,
that's
what
the
cars
was
part.
The
soccer
group
was
running
two
games
the
other
day,
so
it
was
less
impactful
or
less
probability.
At
the
ball
come
they
weren't
kicking
the
balls
towards
the
cars,
so
the
record
existed
and
we've
never
said
that
can't
happen.
That
was
just
we
just
don't
want
to
have
to
run.
R
Could
I
know
that
this
particular
subject
matter
lasted
way
longer
than
we
anticipated?
However,
we
thought
it
was
extremely
important
for
us
to
try
to
come
in
and
clarify
that,
quite
frankly,
this
space
is
really
oversubscribed
and
we
are
trying
our
best
from
a
staff
perspective
and
even
working
with
the
community
and
working
with
our
formal
partners
to
try
to
manage
this
space
and
respond
to
the
numerous
issues
competing
issues
that
we
have
heard
out
in
the
community.
We
are
not
by
enemies
saying
that
we,
this
is
a
perfect
solution.
R
We
are
saying
we
are
almost
muddling
through.
We
will
go
back.
We
will
we've
heard
some
of
the
concerns
that
have
been
raised.
We
would
try
to
make
minor
adjustments,
but
again
we
just
want
you
all
to
know
the
complexity
of
this
issue.
We
cannot
win.
Someone
will
either
be
displaced,
our
inconvenience,
because
we
only
have
this
amount
of
space
to
work
with
the
official
Park
is
mountainside
park.
The
bottom
half
of
that
screen
is
right-of-way.
R
G
Mean
it
does
seem
to
me
if
mountainside
park
is
gonna,
get
programmed
into
the
the
big
/,
the
big
redo
of
Memorial
Stadium,
that
for
a
year
for
the
next
year,
I
mean
if
it's
open
space,
and
it's
anyway
it
that
I'll
say
again.
It
seems
like
we're
shifting
the
burden
of
cars
from
that
space
onto
and
into
the
field,
which
is
shifting
it
from
completely
unprompted.
C
A
We
have
one
public
hearing
item
on
our
agenda:
Jessica
Bernstein's
here
to
talk
to
us
about
that.
It
is
a
public
hearing
to
consider
conditional
zoning
on
property
located
at
3
Haven
Road
from
Community
Business,
one
district
to
Community
Business,
one
conditional
zone
for
the
construction
of
a
new
Buncombe
County,
East,
Asheville
library,
branch
building
and
we'll
give
everyone
just
a
moment
to
shuffle
around
we've.
Even
Tucker.
C
AD
Thanks
mayor
members
of
the
council,
members
of
the
public,
as
was
stated,
this
is
a
conditional
zoning
request
for
the
new
East
Asheville
library
branch
building.
The
project
site
shown
here
on
the
exhibit
map
consists
of
a
portion
of
a
parcel.
The
larger
parcel
is
identified
with
frontage
on
Tunnel
Road,
as
well
as
Lynn,
stone,
Court
and
Avon
Road.
The
conditional
zoning
is
only
being
applied
to
about
a
1.8
acre
portion
to
the
rear
of
the
site,
so
the
whole
site
is
zoned
cb1.
AD
AD
The
proposal
is
to
demolish
the
existing
library
and
community
center
buildings
shown
here
on
the
demolition
plan.
This
portion
in
the
pink
is
under
the
conditional
zoning
and
the
blue
is
removed
from
that,
so
the
the
parking
and
building
will
be
removed,
and
then
the
new
structures
read
is
proposed
here
at
the
rear
of
the
site.
AD
It'll
be
a
single-story
about
maximum
of
15,000
square
feet.
As
noted
in
the
staff
report,
the
vehicular
access
to
the
site
remains,
and
essentially
the
same
location
right
now,
there's
a
driveway
from
Avon
it
and
a
driveway
from
Lynn
stone
Court,
and
they
don't
connect
in
the
middle.
With
this
proposal
that
would
go
all
the
way
through
there'd
be
50
parking
spaces
to
serve
the
library.
The
landscaping
that's
required
by
code
is
all
provided
on
the
site
and
detailed
in
the
staff
report.
AD
There's
an
existing
sidewalk
along
Avon
Road,
there's
not
one
currently
on
Lynn
stone,
but
the
applicant
we'll
be
installing
that
Sidewalk
along
the
full
length
of
that
parcel
frontage,
there's
also
existing
sidewalk
on
on
Tunnel
Road.
The
project
complies
with
open
space,
there's
the
basketball
courts
that
are
currently
on
the
site.
Those
will
remain
in
the
location
where
they
are
they'll
be
resurfaced.
The
playground.
AD
That's
there
right
now
will
be
removed,
that's
kind
of
the
footprint
of
where
the
building
will
be,
but
they
will
be
putting
in
a
new
playground
on
a
different
area
of
that
that
site.
There's
a
couple
of
conditions
that
go
along
with
this
project
and
those
were
detailed
in
the
staff
report.
One
is
that
in
Community
Business
one
zoning
which
this
is
and
we're
the
applicants
requesting
to
rezone
it
to
Community
Business,
one
cz,
which
is
we
don't
know
we
typically
rezone
to
a
different
zoning
district,
but
Community
Business.
AD
One
really
fits
the
best
with
this
use
and
so
that's
staying
in
place.
But
the
CP
one
zoning
district
restricts
the
size
of
the
building
and
the
size
of
the
footprint.
So
that's
one
of
the
main
conditions
for
this
to
have
a
larger
size
building
at
a
single-story,
and
that
was
really
came
out
of
numerous
public
meetings
with
all
of
the
users
of
the
site
designing
for
the
facility.
What
makes
the
best
layout
for
this
kind
of
library
use.
AD
So
that's
that's
a
condition
that
staff
is
very
supportive
of
there's
a
couple
of
other
technical
conditions.
The
parking
is
closer
to
the
street
than
the
edge
of
the
structure
in
one
location
and
that's
to
maintain
that
existing
basketball
and
Park
and
playground
use
on
that
side
and
a
couple.
A
couple
details
about
channelized
storage
in
the
parking
lot
and
a
bit
of
grading
within
a
portion
of
the
landscape
buffer.
Those
are
all
detailed
in
the
report.
AD
There's
also
an
additional
condition
that
came
out
of
the
technical
review
committee
discussions
and
the
applicant
has
agreed
to
staff's
suggestion
or
recommendation,
and
that's
for
an
enhanced
pedestrian
crossing
at
tunnel
Road
and
that
will
really
greatly
help
with
safety
and
civet
e
in
the
area.
So
we're
very
appreciative
of
that.
The
applicant
held
the
required
neighborhood
meetings,
many
public
meetings.
The
project
was
approved
with
conditions
by
the
TRC
in
February.
AD
They
received
a
unanimous
recommendation
of
approval
by
the
Planning
and
Zoning
Commission
in
March,
and
made
a
presentation
to
the
city's
Recreation
Board
in
March
as
well.
Staff
is
supportive
of
this
request
in
those
conditions
the
community-based
uses
on
the
site.
Already,
this
proposal
makes
upgrades
to
that
building
upgrades
to
the
access
upgrades
to
connectivity.
It
really
seems
to
be
aligned
with
this
living
Asheville,
Comprehensive
Plan
and
the
future
land
use
map
and
the
city's
goals
and
objectives
so
Wow.
The
building
is
much
larger
than
what's
allowed
in
Community
Business.
AD
Q
Q
The
Asheville
library
is
one
of
the
most
heavily
used
branches
in
the
Buncombe
County
system
and
the
community.
The
Asheville
community
has
been
heavily
involved
throughout
this
entire
design
process.
As
Jessica
mentioned,
there
have
been
several
public
community
meetings
and
with
the
most
recent
being
last
month
to
discuss
with
the
community
what
they
would
like
to
see
in
the
new
playground
area
located
on
the
project
site.
Q
There
are
also
a
number
of
design
meetings
that
took
place
with
the
library's
Advisory
Board,
and
they
really
helped
us
reach
a
design
that
would
fit
in
with
East
Asheville
and
best
serve
their
community.
So
we
feel-
and
the
community
supports
the
claim,
that
a
one-story
building
of
this
size
is
truly
the
ideal
form
to
economically
build
and
operate
and
is
the
best
way
to
serve
this
community.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
And
I
had
the
good
fortune
be
able
to
attend
some
of
the
early
earlier
community
meetings
and
walk
this
whole
property,
and
it's
exciting
that
you're
gonna
save
the
trees
at
those
beautiful,
enormous
trees
that
are
out
there
closer
to
the
town
roadside.
That
was
quite
the
conundrum.
Okay.
Is
there
anyone
from
the
public
wishing
to
speak
on
this
item?
You
have
three
minutes
state,
your
name,
anybody,
yes,
sir,
you
can.
You
need
to
come
forward
to
the
microphone
and
please
state
your
name
and
you'll
have
three
minutes.
AE
AE
A
L
To
recommend
approval
of
the
conditional
zoning
request
for
the
East
Asheville
library,
from
Community
Business
cb1
to
Community
Business,
one
conditional
zone
for
the
construction
of
a
new
library
building
in
site
upgrades
and
find
that
the
request
is
reasonable,
is
in
the
public
interest
and
aligns
with
the
city's
comprehensive
plan
in
the
following
ways.
One
this
is
an
improvement
to
existing
uses
in
place
to
the
existing
zoning
in
future.
Land-Use
category
in
place
are
appropriate
and
supportive
of
these
community-based
uses.
L
A
A
motion
during
a
second
alright
I
have
a
motion
in
a
second
any
other
comments.
All
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye,
aye,
nay
opposed.
Okay.
That
concludes
our
public
hearings
agenda.
But
the
first
item
of
new
business
item
a
is
related
to
this
project.
So
we're
gonna
hear
from
Nikki
Reed
on
a
resolution
authorizing
the
city
manager
to
execute
a
ground
lease
with
Buncombe
County
for
the
East
Asheville
library
located
on
city-owned
property
at
9:02,
Tunnel
Road.
Thank.
AF
AG
AF
Property
is
about
2.76
acres
in
size,
and
there
are
several
existing
uses
on
the
site,
including
the
city's
fire
station
number,
eight,
as
well
as
a
former
recreation
center
that
is
currently
occupied
by
leaf
a
local
nonprofit
for
their
offices,
there's
also
a
playground
and
basketball
courts
and,
of
course,
the
existing
East
Asheville
library
and
associated
parking.
So
the
county
has
come
forward
with
a
lease
proposal
of
1.8
acres
of
this
site
to
build
a
new
library
facility
in
the
northwestern
area
of
the
property.
AF
AF
The
new
parking
that
would
be
created
within
the
footprint
of
the
demolished
buildings
actually
provide
a
buffer
between
the
fire
station
use
and
the
library
use
and
the
city
would
retain
control
of
the
fire
station
and
roughly
an
acre
of
property
there
along
the
frontage
leaving
room
for
any
future
expansion
of
the
fire
station.
And,
of
course,
the
fire
station
will
continue
to
operate
out
of
that
location
during
contraction.
AF
AF
G
V
F
AF
AF
A
G
A
A
A
The
next
item
on
our
agenda
is
the
ordinance
adopting
the
fiscal
year,
2019
2020
fees
and
charges
just
as
a
matter
process,
not
know
if
Tony's
gonna
get
into
this,
but
we
do
the
fees
and
charges
before
we
do.
The
managers
budget
is
presented
since
manager
really
needs
to
know
where
we
are
at
fees
and
charges
before
she
puts
together
a
budget
yeah.
AH
Absolutely
good
evening,
Tony
McDowell
from
the
finance
department,
and
we
do
it
for
that
very
reason
and
also
to
go
ahead
and
adopt
the
fees
now
it
allows
us
to
communicate
out
to
our
citizens
and
our
customers
about
what
the
rate
increases
are
going
to
look
like
come
July
1st
of
this
year.
So,
as
the
mayor
mentioned,
the
the
item
before
you
tonight
is
adoption
of
the
ordinance
amending
the
fees
and
charges
manual
for
fiscal
year.
1920,
it's
one
of
the
first
things
we
bring
to
you
each
year
as
part
of
the
budget
process.
AH
Staff
begins
reviewing
fees
in
December.
We
look
at
things
such
as
what
is
the
desired
level
of
cost
recovery
for
a
particular
service
that
we're
providing?
Typically,
we
do
that
analysis
in-house.
Occasionally
we
have
outside
consultants
come
in.
If
you
all
may
remember,
we've
had
folks
help
us
with
our
DSD
fees
and
our
Parks
and
Recreation
fees
over
the
last
couple
of
years,
and
we've
made
adjustments
in
prior
years
based
off
of
those
studies.
We
also
look
at
market
rates
and
what
other
cities
are
charging
for.
AH
The
first
stop
is
at
the
finance
and
Human
Resources
Committee,
and
we
took
the
fee
package
there
on
March
26
and
the
committee
recommended
bringing
it
to
the
full
council
so
I'll.
Just
briefly
summarize
some
of
the
fees
in
the
packet
tonight
and
our
general
fund,
which
is
our
biggest
operating
fund
for
the
city,
there's
only
a
handful
of
very
modest
changes
proposed,
there's,
actually
a
reduction
in
fees
proposed
by
our
14
Riverside
Drive
facility
to
encourage
greater
reduce
egde
of
that
facility.
AH
There's
also
a
technology
fee,
that's
being
proposed
in
the
fire
department
that
will
help
them
out
with
some
of
their
issues
with
inspections
and
doing
that
in
work.
In
a
more
timely
and
efficient
manner,
and
then
again
only
a
minor
set
of
adjustments
in
the
general
fund
that
will
produce
about
thirty
thousand
dollars
in
revenue
next
fiscal
year
in
our
enterprise
funds,
as
I
mentioned,
we
have
been
for
the
last
several
years,
doing
incremental
increases
in
our
water
and
stormwater
funds
this
year
we're
proposing
continuation
of
those
increases
in
the
water
fund.
AH
That
would
be
a
two
percent
increase
on
single-family
residential
rates
and
then
in
the
stormwater
fund.
It
would
be
a
five
percent
increase,
both
in
the
residential
and
commercial
rates.
The
overall
impact,
as
you
all
saw
earlier
in
the
budget
work
session
for
the
typical
household,
the
typical
residential
household
in
Asheville,
would
be
about
eight
dollars
and
forty
cents
and
in
terms
of
cost
increase
annually
for
about
seventy
dollars
a
month
for
those
water
and
stormwater
fee
increases.
F
AH
A
V
AE
A
A
AI
Stat
is
actually
working
currently
on
a
large
update
to
that
manual,
but
for
reasons
that
I'll
explain
in
a
moment.
This
particular
amendment
had
to
come
to
you
in
advance
of
that
larger
update.
So
in
2017,
the
North
Carolina
General
Assembly
passed
session
law
159
that
was
designed
to
aid
in
the
deployment
of
new
small
wireless
facilities.
AI
What
this
law
did
was
to
essentially
grant
the
broad
use
or
access
to
above-ground
utility
infrastructure.
This
is
most
commonly
going
to
be
streetlights
and
your
typical
wooden
utility
pole,
and
what
this
does
is
it
provides
access
to
that
infrastructure
for
the
purpose
of
Kohli
co-locating
small
wireless
technologies,
so
this
is
probably
going
to
be
most
commonly
recognized
as,
like
those
equipment,
cabinets
antenna,
meters,
cabling,
wiring,
that
sort
of
thing
that
will
be
attached
or
affixed
to
those
utility
structures.
AI
This
law
also
strictly
limits
what
a
municipality
may
regulate
when
it
comes
to
the
technology
and
limits
the
fees
and
establishes
a
shot
clock
for
new
applications.
Additionally,
the
FCC
issued
an
order
that
established
a
deadline
by
which
cities
had
to
adopt
standards.
If
they
were
going
to
do
so
and
that
deadline
was
is
April,
15th
2019.
So
this
amendment,
if
adopted,
was
establish
a
new
section,
11
titled,
small
wireless
facilities
as
part
of
the
city
city.
AI
Specifications
in
details
manual,
this
new
section
would
provide
the
necessary
development
and
design
criteria
for
those
wireless
facility
providers
and,
just
before
this
I,
don't
counsel
adopted
the
updated
fees
and
charges
for
fiscal
year
20
and
that
included
the
establishment
of
a
new
fee.
For
these
particular
applications
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
There's
other
staff
also
available.
Depending
does
anyone
have
any
questions.
F
A
L
C
L
P
L
A
Commissions,
okay,
I
have
a
number
of
people
that
have
signed
up
to
speak
under
public
comment.
I'm
gonna
call
those
names
folks.
This
is
the
portion
of
the
agenda
where
you
need
to
state
your
name.
You'll
have
three
minutes
to
speak
and
we
ask
that
you
speak
on
items
that
were
not
on
the
printed
agenda.
If
you
didn't
sign
up
to
speak,
I'll
get
to
you
after
I
get
to
the
signups.
The
first
person
who
signed
up
to
speak
is
Chris
Castro.
E
Thank
You
mayor
council
members
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
you
tonight.
My
name
is
Chris
Castro
I'm,
a
lieutenant
colonel
in
the
North
Carolina
Army
National
Guard
I'm.
Here
to
talk
to
you
briefly
tonight
about
the
Selective
Service
System.
When
I
am,
is
they
what
they
call
traditional
garb
member
I
drilled
two
days
a
month
and
15
days
in
the
summer,
the
Selective
Service
System
is
the
draft
board
in
Washington
DC.
They
have
a
partnership
nationwide
with
the
National
Guard
and
they
use
mastic
our
officers
to
promote
their
activities.
E
The
board
is
run
the
Selective
Service
System
is
there
in
case
of
a
national
emergency.
What
most
people
are
not
aware
of
is
that
every
County
in
North
Carolina
has
a
five-person
local
board
of
citizen
volunteers,
and
these
are
the
folks
that
would
a
case.
A
draft
ever
was
to
be
reinstated.
This
local
board
would
make
decisions
about
community
members,
and
the
local
board
would
decide
who
would
get
a
deferment,
a
postponement
or
even
an
exemption
for
military
service.
In
case
the
draft
ever
were
to
be
reinstated
and
in
my
partnership
with
the
Selective
Service.
E
What
my
job
is
a
Guard
officer
is
to
do
is
to
recruit
and
train
volunteers
for
these
local
boards
in
Buncombe,
County
I
currently
have
two
vacancies
for
local
board
members,
and
my
presentation,
I
should
have
mentioned.
That
start
is
also
geared
for
members
of
the
community
Lawrence
as
well,
and
what
I'm
asking
of
the
City
Council
just
to
wait,
I'm
here
to
raise
some
awareness,
but
also
to
get
some
assistance
if
I
may
that,
if
you
know
of
anybody
that
might
be
interested
in
being
a
volunteer,
it's
pretty
simple.
E
The
requirements
are
only
that
you
be
18
years
of
age
and
reside
in
Buncombe
County.
You
cannot
be
a
member
of
law
enforcement
and
you
cannot
be
in
a
prosecutorial
role
in
the
court
system
other
than
that
the
vacancies
are
open
to
anybody
and
we
encourage
a
diverse
makeup
of
people
on
our
boards
and,
like
I,
say
I
have
two
vacancies.
Currently
one
thing
about
the
position
is,
is
a
is
it
appointed
by
the
governor
of
the
state
of
North
Carolina,
so
you
get
that
that
person
gets
a
nice
certificate.
E
A
E
W
W
This
would
be
to
benefit
our
unaccompanied
homeless
youth
and
that's
using
the
federal
definition
of
unaccompanied
and
youth
being
under
25
years
old,
and
not
with
a
parent
or
guardian.
They
can
be
a
supportive
role
model
for
them
and
also
provide
them
guidance
and
support.
So
this
would
bring
a
minimum.
It
is
very
competitive
but
of
$1,000,000
into
our
community.
Over
two
year
period,
and
also
bringing
those
funds
in
would,
even
though
we
have
a
smaller.
W
Population
we
have
more
of
the
older
population,
but
bringing
those
funds
in
would
free
up
resources
for
the
older
population
also
for
serving
families.
It
could
also
help
decrease
the
time
that,
right
now,
the
youth
are
having
to
wait
for
housing,
so
getting
it
from
our
Housing
Authority,
which
is
that's
not
their
name
anymore.
Currently,
it's
a
two
to
two-and-a-half
year,
wait
time
for
a
single
bedroom
and
also
12
to
18
months
for
a
2
to
5
bedroom.
W
Deborah
Campbell
on
Tax
Day,
so
I
have
to
sit
down
before
them,
but
and
to
also
talk
about
this
opportunity.
So
I
have
a
little
bit
of
information
about
city
staff,
spy
nerds
today,
I,
don't
know
if
you're
interested
in
that
information
I
have
stuff
I
could
share,
or
if
you
have
any
questions
about
the
funding
opportunity.
AG
AG
AG
I'm
here
to
plea
for
an
urban
forester
I
believe
that
our
plea
for
an
urban
forester
has
fallen
on
deaf
ears.
I
see
the
need
for
an
urban
forester
to
help
preserve
our
canopy,
which
we
are
rapidly
losing.
We
lack
enforcement
to
monitor
the
trees
that
are
required
for
development,
as
so
many
developments
are
not
monitored
after
the
final
inspection
to
make
sure
that
trees
and
shrubs
are
so
alive
and
healthy.
AG
So
many
are
not
we
on
the
tree,
Commission
of
foresters,
Professors
contractor
and
Landscape
Architect,
and
a
formal
council
member,
along
with
city
staff
and
executive
director
of
Green
Works,
and
we
all
discuss
that.
We
do
not
want
to
be
the
enemy
of
development,
but
want
to
work
with
development
in
new
and
innovative
ways
such
as
tree
baking
and
other
new
trees.
Saving
ideas
that
other
progressive
cities
are
doing
under
the
supervisor.
AG
The
cities
that
have
urban
foresters,
such
as
charlotte,
are
saving
the
community
in
approximately
$900,000
in
energy
savings
and
working
with
developers
in
a
cohesive
and
fluid
manner,
as
opposed
to
the
rigid
structure
that
we
are
working
with.
Now,
as
stephen
hendrix,
our
chair
says
it's
hard
to
retrofit
green
space
and
canopy
once
it's
lost,
please
think
about
our
future.
Trees
make
people
happy
and
the
benefits
are
measurable
and
we
really
need
an
urban
forester.
So
thank
you.
AJ
AJ
AJ
The
standards
that
are
associated
with
development
are
allowing
for
a
200-foot
notification
to
go
to
resident,
but
there
is
not
any
anything
to
go
along
with
that
to
state
who
will
take
notes.
What
notes
will
be
passed
along
into
TRC
as
the
development
moves
forward,
so
basically,
development
will
get
approved,
will
go
through
the
neighborhood
and
be
discussed
with
neighbors
before
any
action
is
taken
and
from
that
point
forward,
the
changes
that
occur
are
not
notified
back
to
the
residents
of
the
neighborhood's.
So
we
have
a
comprehensive
plan
in
place.
AJ
That's
referenced
frequently
during
development,
but
only
the
elements
of
the
plan
that
have
to
do
with
development
are
being
used
as
justification
for
development.
The
intangible
elements
of
the
plan
that
have
to
do
with
the
things
like
share-
and
some
are
all
just
mentioned-
tree-
save
open
spaces,
a
plan
for
our
parks
and
recreation
future.
The
future
of
our
parks
is
not
addressed
or
not
referenced
back
from
our
plant.
AJ
So
basically
the
comprehensive
plan
that
we
have
is
a
vision
for
developers
and
is
used
to
justify
development,
but
outside
of
that,
we
don't
have
a
plan
for
what
we
want.
Arsene
need
to
actually
look
like
in
the
future,
how
how
we
will
make
it
livable.
We
have
individual
plans
that
are
not
being
connected,
so
I'm
asking
you
to
work
with
people
in
the
neighborhoods
work
with
people
in
the
community
to
bring
transparency.
AJ
The
changes
that
are
underway
right
now,
changes
in
ordinances
have
changes
to
ordinances
that
are
being
planned
by
the
city,
we'd
like
to
know
what
those
are
we'd
like
to
know
what
those
look
like
before
they
come
to
City
Council
I
understand
in
the
past
that
there
has
been
transparency
in
that
regard,
that
there
have
been
lists
that
were
available
to
the
community
to
make
to
allow
people
to
know
what
changes
are
impending
so
I'm
asking
for
that
transparency.
Thank
you.
I
Madam
mayor
members
of
council,
I
am
robert
head
retired
state
law
enforcement
officer.
I
visited
your
website
today
and
right
off.
I
notice
that
ISIL
city
council
has
the
authority
to
determine
the
policy
in
the
fields
of
plenty
traffic
law
and
order,
Public,
Works,
finance
and
Recreation
law.
When
the
enforcement
of
the
law
is
what
I'm
here
to
brief
you
on
tonight,
it
is
law
other
than
abortion.
I
The
human
beings
inside
the
womb
are
smaller,
less
developed
and
more
dependent
than
the
human
beings
outside
the
womb.
These
are
the
differences,
the
degree
not
the
difference
of
kind.
We
can
all
point
to
other
people
who
are
bigger,
stronger,
smarter,
smarter
and
less
dependent
than
we
are,
but
that
doesn't
make
their
life
or
their
life
any
less
valuable
or
any
less
deserving
of
our
protection.
The
only
difference
between
you
and
that
unborn
child
are
size
and
development,
dependency
and
environment.
I
If
you
just
look
at
these
differences,
it's
easy
to
see
that
none
of
them
are
sufficient
to
justify
abortion,
because
each
of
them
can
equally
apply
to
many
people
outside
the
womb
think
about
it,
even
in
our
own
local
rest
homes.
We
have
family
members
that
are
less
developed
and
are
certainly
dependent
on
other
people.
Yet
right
down
here
on
McDowell
Street
at
Planned
Parenthood
many
abortions
taking
place
each
week.
They
called
it
a
clinic
abortion
because
they
never
want
to
use
the
word
babies
but
deep
down
inside,
we
all
know
they're
exterminating
babies.
I
V
City
council
members
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
service
and
testify
to
you
my
humble
submission
to
you
as
your
as
God's
ordained
civil
magistrates
and
the
duty
to
preserve
justice
and
work
to
punish
evil.
You
have
this
position
because,
ultimately,
the
ultimate
authority
giver,
namely
the
God
of
the
Bible,
has
given
you
this
position.
My
name
is
Zach
head
and
I
too
here
and
coming
to
you
today
to
be
a
voice
for
our
voiceless,
preborn
neighbors
who
being
murdered
in
this
city.
V
Under
your
watch,
precious
preborn
babies
made
in
the
image
of
God,
are
murdered
in
this
city
on
a
regular
basis
under
your
watch
at
what
most
people
refer
to
as
Planned
Parenthood
I
want
to
warn
you
that
you
will
give
an
account
for
not
acting
on
behalf
of
these
preborn
babies.
You
are
violating
your
god-given
duty
as
a
civil
magistrate
to
not
uphold
justice
and
protect
the
innocent
in
this
city.
The
church,
those
who
are
believers
in
Jesus
Christ,
should
be
the
conscience
of
our
culture.
V
Therefore,
it
is
my
Christian
duty
to
instruct
you
of
your
God
ordained
purpose
to
establish
justice
and
punish
evil.
You
have
the
responsibility
to
defy
the
lawless
actions
of
the
United
States
Supreme
Court
roe
v
wade
should
be
defied
by
all
lesser
magistrates
like
yourselves
and
all
humans.
Even
the
preborn
should
be
provided
equal
protection
under
law.
Roe
v
wade
is
not
law,
it
is
a
fundamental
flaw.
Court
opinion.
The
Supreme
Court
has
not
been
given
the
duty
or
power
of
legislation.
V
I
guess
what
counsel
you
do
have
that
power,
as
it
was
mentioned
for
your
website,
Asheville
City
Council
has
the
authority
to
determine
policy
in
the
field
of
law
and
order
protecting
the
innocent.
Our
preborn
neighbors
is
obviously
an
issue
of
law
and
order.
You
have
been
given
the
job
to
protect
the
innocent.
With
all
due
respect.
You
have
epic
ly
failed.
V
These
children
have
no
voice
and
you
must
speak
for
them.
They
cannot
defend
themselves,
so
you
must
come
to
their
defense.
Abortion
is
the
premeditated
murder
of
an
innocent
human.
You
have
a
duty
before
God
to
treat
and
punish
it
as
murder,
which
means
you
should
bring
all
women,
men,
doctors
and
anyone
else
aiding
in
this
crime
to
justice.
I'm
pleading
with
you
to
stop
the
bloodshed
in
this
city.
You
can
do
so
by
ignoring
and
defying
the
lawless
court
opinion
of
roe
v
wade
and
abolish
abortion
in
this
city.

AK
AK
I've
been
reading
some
self-help
books
because
I
can't
understand
why,
for
15
years
the
rule
hasn't
applied
on
my
street
and
the
burners
her
Jan
Davis
asked
me
not
to
mention
and
I
was
told.
I
was
going
to
get
some
help
back
then
own
the
property.
Why
did
the
Turner's
not
have
to
follow
the
law?
Julie.
AK
AK
The
long
and
the
short
of
it
is,
there
have
been
trucks
today,
I
counted
at
least
12
violations
before
11
o'clock
and
then
I
quit
counting
I
brought
you
all
a
plan
because
you
all
asked
me
to
engage
in
the
process.
My
neighbors
supported
that
plan.
The
community
supported
that
plan
can
came
out
in
support
of
that
plan.
The
only
people
in
the
community
that
didn't
support
that
plan
are
your
staff
and
you.
AK
What
I
want
to
know
is
why
my
neighborhood
has
been
allowed
to
break
the
law
for
15
years
and
why
we
aren't
investigating
the
fact
that
trolls
were
Lee,
wrote
the
you
do.
It
was
his
client
that
has
violated
the
you
do
all
of
these
years
and
I
quite
honestly,
think
you
all
have
a
duty
to
look
into
corruption
in
your
system.
Browny
mainly
look
where
he
is
now.
I've
got
pictures
of
him
standing
on
the
sidewalk
in
2006/2007
and
he
was
going
to
help
me.
AL
AK
AL
C
A
A
AC
My
name
is
Jonathan
Wainscott
and
I
just
want
to
thank
you
again
for
correcting
the
record
on
the
even
iord
election
cycle
and
all
of
that
kind
of
stuff.
I
think
that
was
a
great
improvement
to
our
city.
I.
Think
it's
a
little
bit
poor
form,
though,
to
ask
senator
Edwards
if
he
would
put
this
into
the
bill
sort
of
like
it
feels
like
you
know
you
made
a
deal,
you
know.
If
you
do
this,
will
you
do
this?
For
us?
AC
Yes,
we'll
do
this,
and
then
you
know
we're
going
to
turn
around
and
either
you
know
try
to
undo
what
a
hundred
percent
of
the
Senate
voted
on
unanimous
vote
to
have
districts
in
district
elections
here
in
Asheville,
and
it's
like
to
take
the
favor
that
he
gave
you
and
us
which
I
I
still
agree
with
that
structural
element
of
that.
But
then
it
turn
around
and
try
to
get
it
undo.
It
or
sue
them.
AC
There
you
know
it's
like
you
know:
how
welcome
will
you
be
in
the
Senate?
If
you
spent
last
year,
you
know
trying
to
to
undo
what
they
did
so
I
think
that
you
know
we
should
move
forward
with
this
situation
with
the
districts
and
again
you
know
it's
just
a
big
distraction
and
I
think
that,
obviously
the
gerrymandering
situation,
the
data,
will
bear
out
to
show
that
that's
not
the
case
that
we
haven't
been
attacked
by
a
hundred
percent
of
the
Senate
and
I.
AC
Think
it's
I
think
it's
just
irresponsible
to
continue
to
go
down
this
road
I
think
it's
something
that
we
should
go
ahead
and
clear
up
and
take
care
of,
and
you
know,
Terry
Van
Dyne
is
gonna,
be
our
next
lieutenant
governor,
so
we're
gonna
have
Terry
van
die
in
the
governor's
office
and
where
I
have
senator
Mayfield
and
you
know
so
working
on
some
better.
You
know,
relationships
with
Raleigh
might
be
a
great
thing
to
do
and
I
think
this
is
the
anomaly
to
do
it.
C
C
AE
So
anyway,
I
want
to
talk
about
the
Flatiron
Building,
so
I
know
that's.
The
big
items
could
be
coming
to
use
your
way
in
a
little
while
so
there's
plans
to
turn
into
a
hotel
and
it's
a
pretty
big
deal.
It's
because
that's
one
of
the
last
places
where
there's
office
space
in
downtown,
especially
a
four
loft
space,
there's
a
lot
of
local
businesses
that
occupy
that
space
then
would
be
turn
in
to
get
another
hotel
and
I.
AE
Think
that's
gonna
have
a
big
impact
on
the
people
who
live
in
Asheville
because
those
jobs
are
their
living
wage
jobs,
their
jobs.
You
can
raise
a
family
on
and
you
know,
I
have
a
good
friend
who
works
in
a
hotel.
Those
jobs
are
not
so
if
that
project
gets
approve,
it's
gonna
be
displacing
a
lot
of
good-paying
local
businesses
with
another
hotel
and
kind
of
continuing
the
cycle
of
replacing
good
paying
jobs
with
lower
wage
jobs.
So
it's
hope
you
guys
take
that
in
consideration.
Whenever
this
comes
down
the
pipeline
to
you
is.
T
Good
evening
my
name
is
velvet:
Hawthorne
I
live
on
17
Maxwell
Street
I've
owned
my
house
there
for
nine
years.
What
Reed
was
showing?
You
is
something
we
deal
with
every
single
day:
I
wake
up
every
morning
around
6:30
with
tons
of
noise
dump
trucks.
I
know
I've
raised
this
in
the
past,
there
are
numerous
times
or
the
sidewalks
blocked
and
people
are
trying
to
walk
or
with
their
baby
strollers,
and
they
can't
get
across
the
sidewalk.
They
have
to
go
out
into
the
street.
T
It's
a
very
dangerous
street
I've
had
my
car
totaled
by
a
tractor-trailer,
delivering
sushi
to
Whole
Foods,
trying
to
go
up
my
street
and
make
a
turn
that
he
wasn't
able
to
do,
and
so
he
backed
up
and
continued
to
drag
my
car
up
the
street
and
rip
a
shred
all
the
way
up
where
I
lost
my
door.
You
know
also
there's
just
so
much
noise
and
people
don't
realize
it
now,
with
the
weather
the
way
it
is
I
open.
T
My
windows
I'm
when
I
have
fresh
air
I
wake
up
every
morning
at
least
6:00
or
6:30,
with
the
noise
of
the
store.
The
back
end
of
the
store,
they're
just
banging
carts
all
morning
long
and
the
air-conditioning
unit
runs
the
refrigeration
unit
runs
the
freezer
unit
runs,
and
it's
just
this
loud
hum
constantly.
So
there's
no
noise
barrier
like
Harris,
Teeter
and
Trader
Joe's
have
I've
been
by
those
stores.
T
I've
walked
by
those
stores
on
a
regular
basis,
go
in
those
stores
and
I'm
just
I'm,
just
astounded
as
to
why
all
these
years,
even
though
I
haven't
lived
here
for
15
years,
like
retime
Singh,
has
many
of
the
neighbors
are
so
tired
of
it
and
I
know
why
I've
been
here
in
the
past
about
it
I,
don't
see
an
improvement.
I
see
it
getting
worse.
T
Today
there
was
a
truck
parked
for
over
45
minutes
in
front
of
a
fire
hydrant
right
on
the
corner,
waiting
his
turn
and
he
unloaded
on
the
street
and
wheeled
his
grocery
his
product
into
the
store
without
using
the
loading
dock.
So
I
would
love
for
someone
to
just
come
and
spend
an
hour
and
a
half
in
the
morning
and
see
what
we
see
and
see
if
there's
some
resolution
that
can
be
made
between
the
way.
This
is
handled
and
I
can
tell
you
from
living
there.
The.
T
Of
the
store,
perfect
location
for
a
loading
dock,
don't
know
why
they've
got
the
buffer.
They've
got
everything
they
need.
It's
their
property
I,
don't
know
why
they
don't
put
the
loading
dock
over
there
I've
reached
out
to
the
regional
manager.
He
said
he
would
meet
with
the
neighbors,
never
heard
another
word
from
him
at
Whole
Foods.
So
after
my
car
was
wrecked,
so
anyways
I
just
wanted
to
add
on
to
the
fact
that
this
hasn't
ended
and
it
just
just
continues.
It
doesn't
get
any
better.
T
