most.
C
A
B
B
What
this
is
about
is
US,
providing
Council
in
the
community
with
information
early
on
in
the
budget
process,
so
that
we
are
are
able
to
literally
have
a
no
surprise
are
no
surprises,
as
we
go
into
the
the
budget
budget
session,
which
will
be
sometime
in
January
of
February
following
Taylor
will
be
a
presentation
on
two
surveys
that
planning
staff
has
LED
and
probably
some
other
departments
have
been
engaged.
B
The
African-American
Heritage
resource
survey
and
the
Burton
Street
architectural
survey
and
Todd
ocultaney
will
believe
I
believe
will
be
doing
both
of
those
presentations
so
with
that
I
will
turn
it
over
to
Floyd.
E
Thank
you
Miss
Campbell
good
evening,
very
Council,
Taylor
Floyd
budget
manager
with
the
science
department
and,
if
you're
going
to
talk
about
our
first
quarter
fiscal
year,
2223
Financial
update
and
apologies
to
the
members
of
the
finance
and
HR
committee
that
have
already
heard
this
earlier
today
can.
H
E
C
E
So
really
quickly
just
an
overview
of
the
presentation,
we're
going
to
start
with
revenues
and
then
move
on
to
personnel
and
operating
expenses.
We
actually
won't
be
mentioning
the
business
type
activities
we
mentioned
that
with
finance
and
HR,
but
we
won't
go
into
that
detail.
That's
essentially
just
our
Nature
Center
and
the
Aston
Park
Tennis
Center,
and
then
we'll
move
from
there
on
to
next
steps.
E
E
Revenues
are
expected
to
meet
or
exceed
budget
and
spending
is
occurring
as
expected.
So
again,
you'll
probably
hear
me
repeat
some
variation
of
those
three
things
throughout
throughout
the
presentation.
E
E
As
you
all,
as
you
all
are
aware,
Buncombe
County
and
HCA
have
reached
a
settlement
on
a
property
tax
value
dispute
and
as
part
of
that
settlement,
they
are
going
to
refund
prior
year
payments
that
HCA
made
by
deducting
that
from
their
current
year
tax
bill,
and
so
what
that
means
for
the
city
of
Asheville
is
a
483
thousand
dollar
impact
to
city
property
tax
revenues
in
the
current
fiscal
year
and
I
don't
want
to
downplay
the
significance
of
missing
out
on
almost
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
revenues.
E
But
we
do
expect
that
property
tax
revenues
overall
will
likely
still
meet
our
budget
just
based
on
the
growth
that
we
have
in
the
property
tax
base.
We
generally
the
Buncombe
County
tax
office
provides
us
with
an
estimate.
They
estimate
that
conservatively
through
the
budget
process,
so
we
think
that
again,
the
growth
that
happens
we'll
cover
that
just
for
little
bit
of
context,
that
483
thousand
dollars
is
just
under
0.6
percent
of
the
total
property
tax
budget,
which
is
81.4
million.
E
So
again,
500
000
almost
significant,
but
what
we
think
will
be
okay,.
A
Can
I
I'm
gonna
interrupt
you
one
more
time
because
just
we're
we
can
see.
So
if
you
have
a
cell
phone
a
smartphone,
you
can
unfortunately
we're
not
there's
a
technology
problem.
We
cannot
project
the
presentation,
but
it
is
linked
to
on
the
agenda
online.
So
if
you
open
up
the
city
of
Asheville's
website
and
go
to
the
government,
never
mind
it's
a
miracle
yeah.
D
This
this
slide
is
up
just
in
time
for
me
to
do
what
I
did
this
afternoon
in
finance,
which
is
share.
My
disappointment
with
this
and
I
know
that
it
was
not
the
city
of
Asheville's
staff
that
you
know
we're
at
the
table
to
negotiate
this,
but
I'm
just
made
that
HCA
continued
has
continued
to
fight
the
property
tax,
but
what
I
shared?
What
I
learned
from
our
meeting
today
is
that
this
is
the
bottom.
There
is
not
going
to
be
any
additional
attempts
to
reduce
the
property
value
or
therefore,
the
taxation
right.
D
E
So,
moving
to
the
sales
tax
side,
we
only
have
one
month
of
FY
23
sales,
tax
data,
the
North
Carolina
Department
of
Revenue,
provided
that
to
us
on
October
12th.
So,
looking
at
that
one
month,
July
2022
I
was
8.5
percent
higher
than
July
2021,
which
growth
is
good.
E
If
we
look
kind
of
back
at
the
last
fiscal
year,
FY
22
was
17
higher
than
fy21,
so
some
pretty
substantial
sales
tax
growth
year
over
year
there
and
a
typical
year
of
growth
and
I
do
want
to
say
that
we
don't
always
have
growth
in
sales
tax.
It
is
possible
for
that
to
go
down
and
not
up,
but
a
good
good
growth
in
a
normal
year
would
be
around
five
percent,
so
those
really
are
pretty
high
high
increases.
E
One
thing
I
do
want
to
make
note
of,
is
you
know,
inflation's
been
hovering
around
that
8
percent
Mark
for
the
last
few
months,
so
that
8.5
percent
number,
you
know,
isn't
really
probably
8.5
percent,
especially
when
you
take
into
account
the
fact
that
you
know
we're
seeing
you
know
on
the
cost
side
that
those
inflation
that
inflation
hit
us
and
then
again,
of
course,
as
prices
go
up,
the
the
taxes
that
you're
going
to
pay
on
on
the
goods
and
services
you're
buying
are
going
to
go
up
as
well
looking
forward.
E
You
know,
there's
a
lot
of
economic
uncertainty
nationally
and
internationally.
As
far
as
that
goes,
and
we
continue
to
see
the
FED
raise
interest
rates
and
that's
likely
to
temper
growth
in
the
current
fiscal
year.
E
I
did
want
to
take
a
moment
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
parking
fund.
We
talked
at
length
about
parking,
especially
the
garages
during
last
year's
budget
process.
I
wanted
to
give
you
all
an
update
on
that,
and
it
is
good
news.
We
are
seeing
revenue
from
both
of
the
garages
and
the
meters
performing
as
expected,
and
in
line
with
budget
it's
looking
significantly
better
than
it
did
last
fiscal
year,
and
while
it's
in
line
with
pre-pandemic
budget
performance
is
still
under
pre-pandemic
actuals.
E
So
what
I
mean
by
that
is
last
year,
first
quarter
garage
Jess
garages,
just
garage
Revenue,
was
about
seven
percent
of
what
we
had
budgeted
for
the
year,
so
it
was
significantly
underperforming
this
year,
it's
27
which
again
looking
back
to
the
last
year,
that
was
not
impacted
by
the
pandemic.
Fy
19
that
was
24
so
again
in
line
from
a
budget
performance
perspective
active.
E
However,
if
you
look
at
quarter
one
revenues
from
FY
19,
they
were
about
a
million
dollars
as
compared
to
800
000
in
the
current
year,
so
as
as
a
dollar
figure
we're
still
not
quite
back
to
where
we
were
pre-pandemic,
but
still
much
better
than
the
300
000
that
we
had
taken
in
in
the
first
quarter
of
last
fiscal
year.
So
again
things
looking
much
better
in
the
parking
fund,
specifically
in
garages,
so
wrapping
up
on
the
revenue
side
I
did
want
to
make
mention.
E
C
E
You
say
what
ABC
means
sure
I
believe
it
stands
for
Alcoholic,
Beverage
Control,
so
the
there's
a
county-wide
system
and
we
have
a
sort
of
a
revenue
sharing
where
we
get
a
portion
of
the
revenues
that
that
they
generate
through
liquor,
sales
in
Buncombe
County
we
reached
out
to
the
general
manager
and
his
perspective
is
that
that
this
type
of
increase
is
unlikely
to
continue
in
the
current
year.
E
Again
you're
going
to
hear
this
from
me
a
lot
they're
seeing
their
costs
go
up
both
for
you
know
the
purchasing
the
stuff
that
they
are
selling
and
also
their
personnel
costs
as
well.
So
he
did
not
think
that
that
would
continue
so
on
the
general
fund
side
total
overall,
first
quarter
revenues
are
six
percent
of
budget
which
seems
low,
but
our
property
tax
revenue
generally
does
not
start
coming
in
until
those
bills
are
due
or
considered
late
in
January,
so
that
will
increase
substantially.
E
That
will
pick
up
a
lot
more
through
the
second
and
third
quarters
and
then
on
the
Enterprise
fund
side.
Again
from
the
report,
you
can
see
that
that
ranges
from
about
1
to
27
percent
of
budget.
The
one
percent
sounds
alarming,
but
that
is
our
street
cut,
Utility
Fund.
That
is
billed
on
actual
costs
quarterly.
So
that's
why
they
don't
have
Revenue,
because
they
have
to
finish
that
quarter
before
they
can
build
their
the
folks
that
participate
in
that,
and
we
have
actually
received
some
of
that
Revenue
already
again.
E
E
On
the
Personnel
side,
one
of
those
is
a
planned
January
increase
to
that
minimum
salary
up
to
36
816
and
then
we're
also
working
with
a
consultant
right
now.
That's
helping
us
do
an
analysis
of
compression
so
that
we
can
make
some
adjustments
related
to
that.
As
you
all
are
aware,
we've
we've
done
a
lot
to
try
to
increase,
lift
that
bottom
of
our
pay
plan.
Up
significantly
and
again,
that's
created
some
compression
issues
with
with
our
employees
so
again
working
on
that
as
well.
Moving
forward
in.
H
C
E
E
I
did
also
want
to
make
note
to
several
changes
in
the
Asheville
Police
Department
again,
as
you
all
are
aware,
they
are
struggling
to
recruit
folks,
and
we
hope
that
this
is
going
to
help
alleviate
some
of
those
challenges.
One
is
changing:
an
advanced
law
enforcement
enforcement
certification
from
a
one-time
five
percent
payment
to
an
ongoing
five
percent
supplement,
we're
also
providing
a
bonus
structure
that
includes
referrals.
E
E
We
are
in
addition
to
that,
offering
relocation,
assistance
to
new
hires
additional
leave
for
both
new
hires
and
current
employees,
and
we
believe
that
all
of
this
in
the
current
year
can
be
absorbed
by
some
additional
salary
savings
that
we've
identified
through
some
updated
vacancy
assumptions.
So
essentially
they
are
down
even
more
than
we
were,
anticipating
that
they
would
be
when
we
developed
did
budget
and
and
again
we
think
that
in
the
current
year,
these
changes
can
be
absorbed
through
those
savings
that
we've
identified
from
those
additional
vacancies.
C
E
Inflation
continues
to
be
a
concern
for
us,
but
so
far
we
see
expenses
trending
in
line
with
budget.
Again
we
talked
a
lot
about
Transit
and
some
challenges
that
they
were
having
in
that
service.
During
the
budget
development
process,
I
wanted
to
give
an
update
there.
There
is
still
one
service
interruption,
in
effect
due
to
the
driver
shortage,
and
that
is
a
reduced
frequency
on
the
we1
route.
But
again
we
are
seeing
the
the
costs
related
to
that
service
track
budget
that
main
cost
being
that
management
contract.
E
One
other
item
I
wanted
to
bring
to
your
attention,
is
you
all
approved
a
a
new
management
contract
at
the
municipal
golf
course
that
entity
is
I,
think
underway
right
now
like
taking
over
operations
there,
part
of
that
new
Arrangement
is
a
profit
sharing
arrangement
with
that
management
company
and
we're
you
know
unsure
as
to
what
the
first
year
is
going
to
look
like
partially,
because
they'll
be
doing
some
work
out
at
the
golf
course.
E
E
So
with
that
I
believe
this
is
my
last
slide
again.
High
level
revenues
and
expenses
are
tracking,
as
we
would
expect
for
the
most
part,
but
it
is
still
really
early
in
the
fiscal
year
did
want
to
make
note
that
we
did
appropriate
some
arpa
funding
in
both
the
general
fund
and
the
transit
fund.
It
was
a
little
over
2
million
in
the
general
fund
and
300
000
in
the
transit
fund
will
continue
to
monitor
revenues
and
expenses.
E
You
know
in
a
best
case
scenario,
we
won't
need
to
use
any
of
that
funding
and
it
will
be
available
to
be
reprogrammed,
but
again,
we'll
have
more
information
as
we
as
we
go
through
the
fiscal
year
also
I
know,
we've
talked
a
lot
about
capital
projects
and
we
did
not
provide
any
information
as
part
of
the
first
quarter
report
on
capital
projects,
primarily
because
we're
hoping
to
do
that
during
the
scheduled
December
13th
Council
work
session
that
will
be
dedicated
to
capital
projects.
E
E
Looking
looking
forward
to
the
budget
development
process,
Personnel
costs,
as
they
often
are,
are
likely
to
be
a
significant
factor
again.
I
think
we
talked
a
little
bit
during
last
year's
process
about
some
really
good
experience
that
we've
had
in
our
health
care
costs.
We
think
that
that's
likely
coming
to
a
point
where
we
will
need
to
put
some
additional
funding
into
that
program
and
then,
of
course,
again
as
we
see
inflation
and
you
know
Rising
housing
costs
and
that
kind
of
thing
again,
nationally
and
locally,
that's
likely
to
impact.
E
D
Incentives
I
just
wanted
to
I'm
thankful
for
this
slide
and
these
additional
efforts
to
rebuild
our
police
force.
I'm
curious
when
I'm,
not
a
member
of
the
public
safety
I'm
wondering
when
we
might
hear,
if
that,
an
update
on
how
this
implements
and
if
it's
successful
wait
come
back
to
Council
in
a
few
months.
D
J
B
On
the
recruiting
company
that
we've
hired
and
we
will
have
additional
data
to
share
with
you
all-
probably
late,
December
early
early
January,
due
to
the
fact
that
it's
literally,
we
launched
the
effort
about
20
days
ago.
So,
yes,
we
will
definitely
bring
back
that
information
and
I
want
to
also
clarify
that
this
is
a
beginning.
This
is
not
an
end
point
for
us.
We
know
that
we
have
got
to
get
very
aggressive
in
order
to
not
only
recruit
but
to
retain
officers.
D
K
So
one
of
the
things
I've
asked
is:
if
staff
can
bring
us
information
at
our
six-month
Mark,
just
to
see
like
what
what
the
resources
we
have
that
we
haven't
allocated
yet
additionally,
we're
we're
specifically
targeting
high
school
and
college
recruits
for
the
Asheville
Police
Department,
which,
if
we,
if
we
attract
folks
who
don't
currently
live
in
the
region,
will
become
residents
of
Asheville
and
Buncombe
County
and
we'll
have
to
deal
with
our
High
Cost
of
Living.
K
K
For
example
in
the
presentation,
there's
conversational
Personnel
expenses
that
go
into
detail,
there's
conversations
about
ABC
revenues
with
actual
dollar
amounts
and
percentages,
but
the
parking
fund
Revenue
doesn't
have
dollar
amounts
or
percentages
so
something
about
when
we're
talking
about
like
two-year
Target,
what
happened
last
year
and
then,
where
we
are
this
year,
a
side-by-side
comparison
could
be
a
useful
tool
in
educating
the
public
while
informing
us.
It
would
certainly
be
useful
tool
for
me
sure.
E
We
can
certainly
make
adjustments
on
that.
You
know
we
got
two
more
opportunities
to
to
do
this
this
year
with
quarterly
reporting.
B
Overall
and
one
other
thing
we,
we
do
have
a
more
detailed
memo
for
myself
and
Tony
McDowell.
That
goes
into
a
little
bit
more
detail
than
this
than
this
PowerPoint
presentation
does
also,
as
part
of
some
follow-ups
and
questions
that
you
all
asked
about
parking.
That
email
has
been
sent
to
you
and
I
think
it
does
what
you
requested
Kim
in
terms
of
the
comparison
related
to
to
to
revenue
and
expenses
for
Transit.
So
you
should
have
that
in
your
in
your
box
and.
B
D
B
A
Not
Alex
Cole,
that's
cool.
Unfortunately,.
L
Good
evening,
mayor
and
council
members
Alex
apologizes,
she
can't
be
here
I'm
actually
kind
of
disappointed
for
her,
because
I
think
these
are
two
really
great
projects
that
we
should
all
be
proud
of
and
I
know.
Alex.
Managing
these
projects
spent
a
lot
of
time
and
effort
on
these.
So
just
definitely
just
want
to
acknowledge
her
work
on
this
and
actually
I'm,
not
presenting
on
Walton
Street
pool
just
yet
just.
L
We're
starting
with
African-American
Heritage
resources
survey
and
then
I'll
provide
a
brief
update
on
the
burnt
Street
architectural
survey
as
well.
So
just
a
few
key
takeaways
that
planning
an
Urban
Design
staff
began
engaging
the
community
on
documentation
of
historic
resources,
specifically
related
to
African-American
Heritage
in
2018
prior
to
the
pandemic.
L
The
African-American
Heritage
resource
survey
report
provides
a
detailed
historical
Narrative
of
African
American
Life
in
Asheville
over
the
course
of
our
history
and
that
a
survey
information
survey
information
can
be
utilized
for
historic
designations
long-range
planning
and
or
to
inform
other
projects
in
our
community.
So
I'm
just
going
to
give
a
brief
overview
of
the
background.
Next
steps
and
questions
and
just
Define
what
exactly
an
architectural
survey
is
and
how
it
could
be
utilized
in
our
community.
L
So
an
architectural
survey
is
a
survey
that
is
a
systematic
process
of
identifying
and
recording
historic
buildings
structures.
Objects,
districts
and
sites,
both
historic
and
prehistoric,
in
a
given
Geographic
or
thematic
area.
So
a
survey
in
this
sense
we
actually
looked
at
75
resources
throughout
the
city
and
there
are,
there
are
hundreds,
so
there
are
certainly
a
lot
more
resources
that
we
still
need
to
survey
to
date,
and
that
includes
resources
that
might
be
lost
through
history,
such
as
through
urban
renewal.
L
Why
we
undertake
a
survey,
it's
a
documentation
of
the
built
environment
as
it
relates
to
local
history.
It's
an
important
tool
for
preservation
of
neighborhood
and
Community
character
and
Survey
information
can
help
inform
related
projects
and
is
important
in
understanding
the
community's
historical
narrative.
And
how
can
the
survey
be
used?
Survey
information
can
be
used
to
identify
historic
resources
that
require
further
study
resources
eligible
for
listing
in
the
National
register
of
historic
places.
L
So
just
a
quick
overview
of
the
background.
The
historic
Resources
Commission
is
responsible
for
identification,
documentation
and
maintenance
of
inventory
of
historic
resources
in
Asheville,
as
well
as
the
county
and
Based
on
data
that
we
worked
on
with
the
state
historic
preservation
office
in
2018
that
we
identified
the
need
for
architectural
survey
of
historic
resources,
specifically
related
to
African
American
history
in
Asheville.
L
We
are
a
certified
local
government
under
the
state,
which
means
that
we
have
a
recognized
historic
preservation
program
for
the
city,
and
this
was
also
we
leveraged
city
of
Asheville
funding
as
well
through
the
planning
and
Urban
Design
Department,
and
we
contracted
with
Owen
in
East
Lake,
a
consultant
firm
in
2019
to
complete
phase
one
and
the
pandemic
happened,
and
unfortunately,
this
effort
was
put
on
on
the
back
burner
for
some
time.
So
this
is
just
a
snapshot
from
the
state
state,
historic
preservation,
office
or
shippo.
L
Just
mapping
all
these
resources
throughout
our
community
yellow,
identify
specific
like
locations.
These
could
be
Properties
or
buildings
of
historic
or
cultural
significance
within
the
African-American
community,
and
then
the
blue
areas
are
national,
landmark
sites
or
districts
shown
with
the
wider
kind
of
geographic
boundaries.
L
Just
for
some
additional
background
continued
that
in
Fall
2019
that
we
released
a
draft
survey
report
and
then
at
the
time
when
we
reviewed
the
survey,
we
felt
that
there
were
substantial
revisions
that
that
needed
to
be
made
just
based
on
our
understanding
of
kind
of
the
content
and
narrative
and
and
how
we
wanted
to
kind
of
communicate
all
this
information
with
our
our
citizens.
So
the
city
actually
contracted
with
another
consultant
team
called
Acme
preservation
services
in
2020
to
make
necessary
revisions
to
the
survey
report
and
and
in
2022.
L
So,
as
I
mentioned,
you
know
there
are
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
of
additional
resources
that
that
should
be
documented
in
the
future
and,
of
course,
we
would
explore
other
grant
opportunities
to
try
to
make
that
happen
and
just
again,
some
key
takeaways
that
we
started
this
effort
before
the
pandemic
and
in
terms
of
next
steps,
we'd
like
to
continue
this
effort
and
continue
to
document.
This
really
important
history
in
our
community.
L
Okay,
so
the
next
item
I
have
up
is
the
Burton
Street
architectural
survey.
L
City
staff
has
been
working
closely
with
the
Burton
Street
Community
Association
for
several
years
to
Aid
in
implementation
in
the
Burton
Street
neighborhood
plan,
which
the
Asheville
city
council
adopted
in
2018
as
part
of
the
I-26
connector
project
and
one
of
the
goals
or
strategies
in
that
neighborhood
plan
does
identify
several
ways
to
try
to
preserve
neighborhood
character.
L
In
particular,
Burton
Street,
like
many
neighborhoods,
has
been
seeing
a
lot
of
infill
development
and
their
work
and
Community
concerns
about
what
that
that
new
infield
development
looks
like
and
how
it
could
be
more
contextual,
with
existing
housing.
That's
currently
in
the
community,
so
the
burn
Street
architectural
survey
is
kind
of
a
first
phase
for
us
to
identify,
historically
throughout
the
20th
century.
L
What
current
housing
stock
looks
like
in
the
community
and
it's
really
a
technical
document
that
identifies
common
building,
typologies
and
streetscape
elements
which
will
ultimately
Aid
in
the
creation
of
what
we
call
a
pattern
book
for
the
neighborhood
and
I'll
I'll.
Show
you
some
examples
of
what
I
mean
by
by
a
pattern
pattern
book
and
how
it
can
be
used
within
the
city
and
just
a
quick
overview.
I'll
go
over
the
background
timeline
and
next
steps.
L
These
are
just
some
examples
of
some
of
the
types
of
infill
housing
that's
happening
today
within
the
Burton
Street
neighborhood.
Of
course,
we
we
all
recognize
the
need
for
additional
housing
and
infill
housing
in
the
neighborhood.
But
what
we're
really
trying
to
do
is
identify
ways
to
try
to
make
this
housing
again
more
contextual,
to
fit
better
within
the
neighborhood.
L
So
the
Community
Association
partnered
with
the
planning
and
Urban
Design
department,
and
they
donated
a
grant
to
us
that
we
matched
to
to
prepare
this
effort.
We
worked
with
the
consultant
team
to
look
historically
at
the
history
of
the
Burton,
Street
neighborhood
and
then
to
survey
these
different,
architectural
and
streetscape
styles,
and
really
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
create
at
some
point
an
online
tool
and
possibly
a
printout.
L
That's
called
a
pattern
book
that
pattern
book
would
help
to
elevate
neighborhood
history
awareness
illustrate
common
building,
typologies
and
inform
the
design
of
new
development,
and
one
thing
I
do
want
to
mention
is
that
with
a
pattern
book,
although
we
can
try
to
demonstrate
what
type
of
housing
we
would
like
to
see
within
the
Burton
Street
neighborhood
in
North
Carolina,
we
don't
have
the
ability
to
regulate
the
design
of
single-family
homes.
We
can
really
only
do
that
with
multi-family
development,
so
a
pattern
book
in
this
sense
would
really
be
more
of
a
guide.
L
This
could
be
something
that
acknowledges
architectural
history
within
neighborhood.
That
could
also
be
a
guide
for
smaller
scale
developers
in
the
neighborhood
and
Realtors.
If
they're
working
with
clients
that
are
looking
to
build
a
new
home
in
Burton
Street,
they
could
refer
to
the
pattern
book
as
an
educational
tool
so
that
that
new
housing
again
can
maybe
be
a
little
bit
more
appropriate
and
sensitive
to
the
different
types
of
architecture
in
the
Burton
Street
Community.
L
So
here's
an
example.
This
is
out
of
Chattanooga.
This
is
an
online
pattern
book
that
really
provides
kind
of
a
gallery
of
examples
where
there's
photographs
there
might
be
other
renderings
and
images
that
show
different
architectural
elements
of
housing,
such
as
the
roof
or
the
front
steps
or
Windows
different
types
of
architectural
materials.
This
is
really
what
we're
talking
about
with
a
pattern
book
and
some
some
examples
of
again
what
that
could
look
like
for
a
next
phase
of
this
of
this
effort.
L
So
in
terms
of
a
timeline
we
issued
an
RFP
in
2021,
we
contracted
with
a
firm
called
s
and
me
a
local
firm
to
prepare
the
survey
report.
We
released
a
draft
and
we
recently
released
a
final
version
and
the
next
phase
of
this.
As
I
mentioned.
This
is
just
kind
of
the
first
phase,
identifying
the
architectural
history
and
styles
within
the
neighborhood.
Our
next
step
would
be
for
staff
to
prepare
the
pattern
book.
L
That's
actually
the
resource
guide
for
the
community
again
to
try
to
influence
what
future
infill
development
might
look
like
in
the
future,
and
here
just
in
the
presentation,
there
is
a
hyperlink
for
the
survey
report
for
the
architectural
survey
as
I
mentioned.
Completion
of
the
Burton
Street
neighborhood
pattern
book
would
be
a
future
phase
and
then
public
publication
of
that
pattern.
Book
and
engagement
with
the
community
to
make
them
aware
that
this
could
be
a
resource
for
them.
A
I
thought
that
was
interesting.
Your
point
about
the
law
in
North
Carolina,
around
man
being
able
to
mandate
a
home
design
if
it
were
designated
a
historic
district
would
probably
be
the
exception
to
that
I'm,
not
suggesting
that
it
should
be
because
I
think
there's
a
lot
to
discuss
in
doing
something
like
that,
because
it
can
cost
existing
homeowners
a
lot
more
to
try
to
maintain
their
home
so
you're,
not
in
yes.
A
So,
but
that
would
be
the
only
tool
I'm
aware
of
in
North
Carolina
to
get
to
get
to
that,
and
is
that
correct,
yeah.
L
There
are
some
other
tools
we
could
consider.
There
are
some
cities
that
have
something
that's
called
a
neighborhood
conservation
overlay,
District
I,
think
really
all
that
that
is
is
more
of
like
a
form-based
type
code,
but
with
text.
No,
no
pictures
and
I
think
that
that
tool
was
really
watered
down
in
the
past
few
years,
when
the
legislate
legislature
took
away
our
ability
to
kind
of
regulate
design
but
I
think
like
a
form-based
code,
it
would
be
a
similar
type
of
tool
to
control
like
the
massing
and
scale
and
size
of
homes.
A
B
A
I
I
will
say:
I
I'm,
becoming
a
fan
of
the
managers
reports
that
we
didn't
always
do
them,
but
the
this
is
a
really
good
opportunity
to
share
with
the
community
some
of
the
work
that's
going
on
so.
A
Okay,
we
have
concluded
the
presentations
and
reports
I'm
going
to
move
into
the
public
hearings
agenda
and
again
folks.
If
anybody
wants
to
sign
up
to
speak
under
any
of
these
items,
please
just
go
out
into
the
hall
and
tell
them
you
want
to
sign
up
to
speak
and
they
will
add
you
to
the
list
of
speakers.
A
N
You
mayor
members
of
council
will
Palm
Coast
of
planning,
Urban
Design
Department
I'll
be
filling
in
for
for
Alex
as
she
is
under
the
weather.
N
I
just
want
to
reiterate
what
Todd
was
saying
in
appreciation
of
all
her
hard
work
and
other
staff
that
have
been
involved
with
this,
including
Department
of
Parks
and
Recreation
staff
that
have
helped
partner
with
us
to
do
our
public
Outreach
efforts,
so
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
everyone's
hard
work
along
the
way
on
this
effort,
so
regarding
the
local
Historic
Landmark
designation
of
the
Walton
Street
Park
and
Pool.
N
Some
key
takeaways
through
this
presentation
just
wanted
to
highlight
that
we'll
kind
of
be
talking
through
a
little
bit
this
evening,
so
Walton
Street
Parking
pool
were
both
identified
as
significant
historic
resources
as
part
of
the
African-American
Heritage
survey.
Research
survey
that
a
resource
survey
that
Todd
was
actually
speaking
about
earlier.
So
this
is
one
of
the
first
first
implementations
of
that
of
that
survey.
N
Our
department
planning,
Urban
Design,
received
the
local
Landmark
application
from
the
preservation
Society
early
in
2022
parks,
department
and
planning
partner
to
engage
the
community
in
an
effort
to
get
input
on
the
improved
Park
amenities
and
to
gauge
support
for
historic
designation
over
the
past
six
months.
Walton
Street,
Park
and
Pool
have
contributed
significantly
to
the
history
of
Asheville
and
Buncombe.
County
areas
of
significance
include
black
ethnic
Heritage,
entertainment,
slash,
Recreation
and
social
history
based
on
survey
results.
Community
members
support
both
local
landmark
and
National
registered
designation.
N
So
on
this
slide,
it's
a
little
hard
to
read,
but
it
basically
walks
through
the
overall
process
for
designated
designating
local
landmark
in
both
regulating
the
North
Carolina
General
statutes
and
in
the
city's
unified
development
ordinance.
Essentially,
the
city
city
council,
through
the
historic
Resources
Commission,
has
authority
to
designate
local
historic
landmarks.
So
essentially,
were
you
know,
Walton
Street,
Parking
pool
to
become
a
local
Historic
Landmark.
It
would
be
regulated
such
as
other
historic
landmarks
in
the
city,
as
well
as
properties
in
local
historic
districts.
N
That
would
require
review
for
changes
through
the
historic
Resources
Commission,
but
the
good
news
is
that
we're
all
the
way
at
the
the
final
step
of
this
process.
So
you
can
see
the
all
different
steps
to
get
there
to
be
here
tonight,
a
little
bit
of
background,
a
little
more
detail,
as
previously
mentioned
in
February
of
2022
City
received
Landmark
application
parks
and
planning
Urban
Design
partnered,
with
Southside
United
on
community
engagement
for
the
Walton
Street
Park
amenity
improvements
and
potential
historic
designation.
N
N
This
include
a
number
of
you
know
traditional
Outreach
opportunities
like
in
meetings
and
festivals
events,
different
Medias
like
mailers
to
to
Residents
electronic
distribution,
distribution
of
information,
leveraging
of
media
resources
like
through
the
citizen
times
and
WLOS,
so
just
a
like
a
caffeine
of
different
ways
of
trying
to
get
the
word
out
and
get
input
from
the
community
about
their
preference
for
designation
of
this
property.
N
So
through
those
efforts,
an
online
survey
I
was
open
for
about
six
months.
This
past
spring
summer
and
fall
on
over
230
participants
responded
to
the
survey.
The
pie
chart
on
the
left
shows
the
basically
there.
Essentially,
there
were
two
questions
in
the
survey.
N
The
first
was:
do
you
support
historic
designation
generally,
82
percent
of
respondents
replied
yes,
and
then,
with
some
more
information
about
the
different
types
of
historic
designation
for
National
register
landmarks
and
then
local
landmarks
majority
of
respondents,
73
percent
responded
that
they
would
support
both
designations
for
the
Walden,
Street,
Park
and
pool
so
just
some
kind
of
historical
background
about
about
the
park
and
the
pool.
As
shown
here
in
the
aerial
image.
N
pool
house
was
completed
in
1948
and
opened
to
the
public
that
summer
and
the
Walton
Street
Parking
pool
are
significant
for
being
the
sole
Municipal
Park
and
swimming
area
for
Asheville's
black
population
and
are
thus
associated
with
events
that
have
contributed
significantly
to
the
history
of
Asheville
and
Buncombe
County.
The
Park
complex
retains
the
arrangement
of
features
established
during
the
period
of
significance,
which
is
identified
as
being
between
1939
and
1972..
N
So,
basically,
the
effects
of
a
landmark
designation
for
this
site
recognizes
and
honors
the
cultural
and
historical
significance
of
a
place
that
allows
us
to
tangibly
connect
to
our
past
and
allows
for
historic
character
to
be
retained
through
a
design
design
review
process.
Whenever
proposed,
changes
are
made
for
the
site.
N
N
So
tonight
the
requested
action
is
to
adopt
an
ordinance
designating
Walton
Street
Park
as
a
local,
Historic
Landmark.
Next
steps
would
be
that
we
would
follow
the
ordinance
with
the
register
of
deeds
and
continue
to
engage
the
community
on
improved
Park
amenities
and
then
just
the
key
takeaways
again
for
your
information
and
I'm
glad
to
answer
any
questions
that
I
can.
K
I
just
want
to
lift
up
another
some
folks
in
the
room
that
have
done
a
lot
of
work
around
this
and
that
I
appreciate
the
Walton
Street
pool
as
a
Historic.
Landmark
is
a
symbol
of
black
history,
resiliency
and
joy.
The
Walton
Street
pool
of
the
historic
South
Side
was
completed
in
1947
for
years.
Neighbors
have
provided
abundant
input
on
how
and
why
the
Walton,
Street
pool
must
be
preserved
for
cultural
identity
in
the
face
of
gentrification.
A
And
we
do
have
a
number
of
people
signed
up
for
for
public
comment
before
we
entertain
a
motion.
But
if
anybody
else
has
any
questions
or
comments
before
we
open.
O
This
was
a
the
Walton
Street.
Park
means
a
lot
to
a
lot
of
people
in
the
South
Side
Community
I
actually
grew
up
there
and
many
other
people
in
the
audience
we
enjoyed
the
Walden
Street
pool
when
I
moved
back
home
in
2012
a
lot
of
the
controversy
behind
getting
rid
of
Walter
Street
Walton
Street
Park
was
going
on
and,
as
you
can
see
now
we're
in
2022,
and
it's
still
going
on
so
I'm
really
happy
to
see
that
we.
Finally,
you
know,
got
this
thing.
O
You
know
where
it
needs
to
be,
because
it
definitely
is
a
landmark
in
the
black
community
it
and
it
also
represented
to
the
black
community,
not
only
just
the
swimming
pool
itself.
It
actually
represented
a
family,
a
network
of
working
together,
I,
remember
Mr
Burson,
who
basically
would
take
every
child
black
child
and
make
sure
they
learned
how
to
swim.
O
That
has
been
lost
and
and
and
people
that
you
know
we
grew
up,
knew
that
I
mean
you
know,
and
that
was
the
kind
of
relationships
and
and
in
the
black
neighborhoods
right
now
we
do
not
have
places
that
we
actually
go
to
network.
As
a
family
that
we
had
years
ago-
and
that
is
missing
in
the
black
communities
throughout
the
community-
and
we
really
need
to
work
on
bringing
that
back
if
we're
going
to
actually
be
able
to
sustain
the
black
community
and
actually
grow
the
black
community
and
heal
the
black
community.
O
A
All
right,
we're
gonna
and
you
know
just
to
put
a
cap
on
it.
We
do
have
funding
allocated
for
for
this
park,
so
the
visioning
process
for
that
continues
for
the
park
portion.
A
So
just
to
keep
that
that
in
mind-
and
you
know-
it's
been
as
Sandra
said
many
years
of
listening
to
the
community-
about
the
vision
and
the
desires
of
of
the
community
and
what
to
do-
and
it
was
really
I
really
want
to
thank
the
community
for
supporting
us
as
we
made
the
challenging
decision
around
putting
a
pool
at
Wesley
Grant,
and
you
know
hearing
from
folks
about
the
future
of
of
the
Walton
Park.
So
so
thanks
for
that
appreciated
all
right.
A
We
have,
as
I
mentioned
several
people
signed
up
to
speak,
so
we
will
call
them
in
order
and
just
as
a
reminder,
you'll
have
three
minutes
to
speak.
The
lights
on
the
lectern
will
turn
green
orange
and
then
red
and
Buzz
and
Buzz
when
it
buzzes.
That
means
stop.
So
the
first
person
signed
up
to
speak
under
this
item
is
Dave
Nutter.
J
As
a
former
member
of
HRC
and
a
board
member
of
the
preservation,
Society
took
part
in
numerous
discussions
about
this
wonderful
effort
to
designate
the
pool
and
the
park
as
local
historic
landmarks
and
I
just
wanted
to
express
my
personal
opinion
as
a
planner
that
this
is
really
the
beginning
of
reinvestments
in
the
site
and
in
the
neighborhood
and
I
think
in
the
minds
and
hearts
of
many
that
has
already
begun.
Thank
you.
Thank.
C
P
P
The
main
thing
I'd
like
to
impress
upon
you
is
that
the
Walton
Street
Park
historically
served
as
a
city-wide
amenity.
Today,
the
Park's
location
on
a
dead
end,
Road,
tucked
away
from
major
thorough
fairs,
might
suggest
it
was
merely
a
neighborhood
facility,
but
its
isolation.
Locate,
isolated
location
was
the
product
of
segregation
and
racism,
not
a
suggestion
that
would
serve
its
immediate
community.
P
When
the
Walton
Street
park
opened
in
1939,
it
was
intended
as
a
site
for
the
city's,
only
African-American
pool,
which
was
finally
constructed
nearly
a
decade
later
from
the
year
of
the
pool's
opening
in
1947.
Until
the
end
of
segregation
in
Nashville
Walton
Street
pool
was
the
Seoul
Municipal
swimming
area
available
to
the
entire
black
population
of
the
city
in
Asheville's
history,
the
park
is
literally
one
of
a
kind.
P
Q
Q
Q
That's
one
of
the
reasons
I
stand
today
after
researching
the
impact
of
urban
renewal
and
learning
the
history
of
the
South,
Side,
AKA,
Rivers,
art,
district,
South,
slope
and
other
names,
that's
rising
from
the
fragmented
South
Side
I
learned,
our
community
Alone
lost
over
1
200
black
owned
businesses
and
homes.
That's
another
reason:
I
stand
today,
I
stand
today
respectfully
to
say
black
Asheville
have
lost
enough.
Q
I
R
R
.
I
got
no
response
and
speaking
to
in
reference
to
this
particular
situation
in
case
here
I've,
given
you
documentation
of
letters
at
why
the
pool
itself,
why
I
giving
you
your
own
survey
that
you
said
you
lost,
which
requested
and
responded
on
the
paperwork
at
the
last
meeting,
saying
that
the
public
and
Survey
that
you
gave
the
people
recommended
that
the
pool
be
replaced
at
Walton,
Street
Park.
R
So
with
the
misinformation
that
is
given.
I
also
quote
to
you
and
open
up
Psalm
109
I
also
give
you
Ezekiel
3
17,
21
and
33
1-9
I'm,
just
warning
you
you're
gonna
pay
for
the
check
for
your
missed
Deeds
I
raised
my
hand,
because
I
know
I
paid
mine
we
get
by
in
life.
We
don't
get
away
for
all
this
confusion.
R
F
We
have
a
reparations
commission
that
is
doing
the
hard
and
difficult
work
of
coming
to
grips
with
the
losses
and
the
harms
done
to
the
black
community
over
Generations
I
hope
that,
as
we
come
to
terms
with
that,
we
will
also
celebrate
the
achievements
and
the
special
character
that
this
survey
and
places
like
Walton
pool
represent
for
Asheville.
So
I
trust
and
hope
that
you
will
vote
this
evening
to
support
this
Historic.
Landmark,
designation
and
I
hope
that
it
is
only
the
first
of
many
of
this
sorts
of
recognition.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank.
S
Well,
excuse
me:
I
had
an
operation
today,
but
I'm
here,
mayor
council.
This
is
a
historical
moment
for
me,
my
people,
not
our
community,
the
city
of
Asheville.
S
We
have
an
opportunity
like
everyone
before
me,
all
the
things
they
say:
I
Echo.
We
have
an
opportunity
to
do
something
great
and
I,
and
this
is
this
is
the
way
I
see
it.
We
have
an
opportunity
to
do
something
really
really
great.
Do
this
right
this
time
around
and
don't
let
anything
don't
roadblocks
or
whatever
get
in
the
way
of
doing
this.
Walton
Street
pool
that
area
what
we
have
and
what
we're
about
to
do
and
what
you
guys
are
about
to
vote
on
right
now.
S
It
is
essential,
like
councilwoman
Kilgore,
said
to
the
healing
of
our
community,
it's
essential
because
it
starts
there.
It
starts
right
there
on
that
Dead
End,
Road,
close
to
AB
Tech
close
to
the
grant
close
to
all
the
schools,
the
community,
the
area
everything
is
fixed.
If
we
do
this
right
there,
we
do
it
right
in
Walton,
you'll
see
a
change
without
the
whole
city.
I
T
Hi,
my
name
is
Jonathan
Wayne
Scott
history
can
be
hard
a
little
historical
Endeavor
civil
rights
and
swimming
pools.
This
is
a
quote
from
Strom
Thurman,
as
he
was
running
for
president
in
1948
as
governor
of
South
Carolina
apologies.
This
is
difficult.
I
want
to
tell
you,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
that
there's
not
enough
troops
in
the
Army
to
force
the
southern
people
to
break
down
segregation
and
admit
the
Negro
race
into
our
theaters,
into
our
swimming
pools
into
our
homes
and
into
our
churches.
T
T
As
you
can
see,
it
features
a
ferris
wheel
and
a
merry-go-round
and
I
presume
concession
stand
with
delicious
snacks
and
such-
and
this
is
the
humble
Walton
Street
pool
funded
in
1938
Walton
Street
Park
was,
and
the
pool
was
completed
in
1947.
This
was
the
year
before
Strom
Thurman
made
that
horrendous,
quote.
T
I
see
this
picture
and
I
see.
You
know
place
where
people
are
gathering
and
just
enjoying
human
activity
of
swimming
architecturally
speaking,
it's
a
very
simple
building,
and
so
for
people
who
are
unfamiliar
with
its
history.
It
may
be
disregarded,
and
that
would
be
unfortunate
because,
as
you
said
in
your
own
presentation,
the
preservation
of
this
building
gives
us
a
tangible
connection
to
history.
T
This
is
what
it
looks
like
today,
with
thanks
to
our
local
media,
Outlets
WLOS
and
Citizen
Times
It's,
just
sad,
the
way
that
it's
been
treated
over
the
years.
It
just
looks
like
a
sign
of
historic
neglect,
which
it
certainly
is,
there's
nothing
more
sad
than
an
empty
swimming
pool
and
for
those
who
are
interested
in
knowing
where
this
1937
38
Park
was
built,
I'm
going
to
use
in
1937
map.
This
is
the
redlining
map
of
Asheville
produced
by
the
homeowners
loan
corporation
and
Walton.
T
Street
is
right
down
a
little
tiny
tip
of
that
magenta
V,
which
is
known
as
area
D1.
That
little
tiny
Aqua
part
is
where
Walton
Street
Park
is,
and,
of
course
this
comes
from
the
holc
field,
descriptions
of
area
one.
It
includes
the
description
of
the
inhabitants
common
laborers,
with
an
annual
income
of
three
hundred
to
fifteen
hundred
dollars,
foreign
born
no
negro,
yes,
75
percent
of
that
area
was
black
infiltration
of
negro.
T
Gradually
these
were
the
detrimental
effects,
as
coined
by
William
Coleman
back
in
1937,
just
a
little
bit
of
more
historical
perspective
on
this
issue.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
That
is
the
last
person
signed
up
to
speak
under
this
item.
Do
I?
Does
anyone
have
any
questions
or
comments
or
emotion,
I.
Q
Wanted
to
ask
one
question
about
the
design
review:
does
it
have
any
authority
to
hinder
future
plans
for
for
Walton
Street
pool
and,
if
so,
does
council
have
the
authority
to
overturn
that
if
it
is
denied?
If
future
plans
are
denied.
N
So
the
historic
designation
were
not
curtail
any
type
of
future
pool,
use
and
I
believe
Decisions
by
the
historic
Resources
Commission
can
be
appealed.
I'm
not
100,
clear
on
that
process.
B
I
would
suggest
to
you
prior
to
us
taking
this
step.
We
met
with
the
state
historic
preservation
office
and
we
were
fortunate
enough
to
have
Dr
Daryl
Waters.
You
all
may
remember
him
from
UNC
Chapel,
Hill,
oops,
UNC,
Asheville.
B
And
had
long
conversations
about
whatever
is
done
has
to
meet
the
tests
of
historical
and
Architectural
compatibility,
so
the
history
has
to
be
preserved.
That
will
that's
kind
of
the
only
obstacle,
because
we,
both
myself
and
the
at
the
time,
the
interim
director
of
Park
and
Rec.
We
were.
We
were
very
very
concerned
that
we,
if
we
wanted
to
add
additional
recreational
elements,
that
we
could
do
that
without
having
too
much
of
a
of
an
obstacle.
N
I
was
just
able
to
phone
a
friend,
Miss
Cole
is
watching
along
from
home
and
confirms
that
so
city
council
does
not
overrule
historic
Resources.
Commission
decisions
appeals
to
that
commission
go
to
the
Buncombe
County
Superior
Court.
I
A
G
C
V
V
H
V
This
is
our
presentation
outline
this
evening
on
the
left.
I'll
hit
the
high
notes
of
a
very
lengthy
document
and
on
the
right
is
our
cover
picture
which,
for
those
of
you
who
are
following
at
home,
the
presentation
has
Live
Links.
So
you
can
press
this
picture
to
get
to
the
plan
itself
and
another
housekeeping
note
is
that
through
the
documents,
if
I've
taken
pictures
from
our
plan,
the
page
number
is
deliberately
on
the
image
so
that
you
can
find
it
quickly.
V
Our
key
takeaways
are
that
the
Gap
plans
include
the
greenway
master
plan,
the
Ada
transition
plan
and
The
Pedestrian
master
master
plans.
The
three
plans
were
developed
together
to
ensure
consistency
and
coordination
of
priorities
and
recommendations
for
a
strong
pedestrian.
Network
priorities
are
based
on
data
that
includes,
and
through
our
methodology,
is
looked
at
through
the
lens
of
equity
and
destination
safety,
connectivity
and
public
input.
V
V
V
Our
Greenway
master
plan,
our
Ada
transition
plan,
which
Ada
by
the
way,
means
American
Disabilities
Act
and
is
looking
at
all
of
our
existing
facilities
in
the
the
purpose
of
bringing
all
of
our
pedestrian
facilities
up
to
compliance
with
Ada
standards
and
then
The
Pedestrian
plan,
which
will
look
at
new
facilities
that
will
fill
the
gaps
for
Doom's
sidewalks.
V
V
All
of
our
meetings
were
done
online
and
were
recorded,
and
you
can
still
find
them
today
on
our
project
page
and
all
of
our
neighborhood
Outreach
was
done
by
City
staff.
We
worked
through
Knack
and
newsletters.
We
made
extra
efforts
to
reach
out
to
Legacy
neighborhoods
and
make
their
meetings
and
talk
with
the
Emma
community
and
would
go
to
any
meeting
from
any
other
neighborhood
that
wanted
to
hear
more
about
the
Gap
plans.
V
V
So
those
are
our
three
big
goals:
our
Greenway
Network,
our
Ada
Transitions
and
our
pedestrian
networks,
but
we
knew
that
we
had
seven
other
goals
that
were
needed
in
order
to
knit
a
very
strong
pedestrian
Network.
So
we
wanted
to
include
other
goals
in
our
plan
that
included
our
multimodal
vision,
Equity
development
strategies,
policies,
funding
safety
and
tools
for
communication
and
implementation.
V
V
The
third
was
our
connectivity
score
where
we
were
looking
at
corridors
and
how
they
could
enhance
our
pedestrian
network
if
they
had
proper
pedestrian
facilities
and
then
the
fourth
scoring
mechanism
was
our
public
input,
which
we
received
through
three
different
surveys.
Through
our
planning
process
and
those
scores
were
actually
added
throughout
the
planning
process,
then
each
one
of
the
corridors
were
divided
into
who
owns
and
manages
them.
Our
streets
in
Asheville
are
either
state-owned,
roads
or
city-owned
streets,
and
then
the
corridors
were
placed
into
their
prospective
plans.
V
And
this
is
what
it
looked
like.
The
maps
to
the
right
is
on
page
67
in
our
plan
and
it's
based
on
our
tiered
ranking
system.
V
The
highest
point
you
could
get
was
17
points
out
of
0
to
17
and
the
lines
on
the
map,
the
reddest
ones,
are
the
streets
that
have
our
highest
needs
just
at
a
glance.
So
you
can
see
it's
our
major
corridors
going
in
and
out
of
the
city
and
then
a
lot
of
the
streets
that
go
into
our
larger
subdivision
areas
are
Suburbia.
V
V
The
Ada
self-evaluation
that
the
city
of
Asheville
will
be
doing
is
innovative,
will
be
working
on
an
annual
basis
to
produce
a
report
to
show
our
progresses
and
it
will
be
called
the
Ada
self-evaluation
that
that
will
have
a
review
of
our
policies
and
practices
to
make
sure
that
they're
working
for
us
to
the
best
of
our
powers
and
also
review
our
infrastructure
needs
using
a
new
method
called
the
corridor-based
methodology.
V
A
typical
Ada
transition
plan
has
these
six
elements
within
it.
The
first
three,
the
city
of
Asheville,
has
already
been
doing,
and
it's
in
our
finance
web
pages.
We
have
an
ADA
coordinator.
His
name
is
Brad,
Stein,
he's
our
risk
manager
and
we
have
our
public
notice
about
ADA
requirements
and
grievance
procedures
already
posted.
So
our
Consultants
were
helping
us
look
at
our
current
state
of
compliance,
developing
internal
design,
standards,
specifications
processes
and
protocols
to
begin
using
and
developing
a
self-evaluation
and
transition
plan.
V
Looking
at
the
state
of
Asheville
right
now,
we
have
what
is
estimated
to
be
a
little
over
101
million
dollars
worth
of
ADA
improvements
to
make
in
order
to
be
ADA
Compliant.
This
is
a
lot
of
money.
If
we
were
to
look
at
this
spending,
let's
say
3.3
million
dollars
a
year.
It
would
take
us
30
years
to
finish
all
the
improvements
that
we
need,
but
then
there'd.
K
We
just
we
heard
that's
a
lot
of
money,
but
I
think
for
people
who
rely
on
this
every
day
that
this
has
become
acceptable
or
part
of
the
furniture
or
the
story
of
Asheville.
It's
unacceptable
and
it's
also
a
sign
of
great
need.
D
V
Bit
of
the
Silver
Lining
is
that
we
already
are
doing
a
lot
of
ADA
improvements
as
we
move
forward.
So
we
have
a
hundred
and
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
set
aside
for
Ada
improvements
for
solely
Ada
improvements,
which
are
usually
curb
Cuts
every
year,
and
then
we
we're
looking
at
other
regular,
routine
maintenance
budgets
and,
for
example,
our
resurfacing
budget,
which
is
three
over
three
million
dollars.
Typically,
on
average,
about
10
percent
of
that
budget
goes
towards
Ada.
So
we're
beginning
to
really
take
a
look
at
our
capital
projects
and
okay.
V
V
Our
focus
groups,
the
the
Ada
focus
group-
was
very
helpful
for
us
and
the
information
that
we
receive
for
them
showed
us
that
these
these
corridors
really
need
a
lot
of
help.
The
top
list
shows
you
the
ones
that
can
go
into
the
Ada
plan
and
they're
listed
in
order
of
being
mentioned,
and
the
ones
Below
have
no
pedestrian
facilities
at
this
time.
V
That's
when
you
see
the
most
return
on
investment
of
your
Greenways,
we
want
to
see
more
new
Greenways
being
built,
but
we
also
want
to
figure
out
ways
to
get
into
our
neighborhoods
so
that
you
can
actually
get
from
your
neighborhoods
down
into
our
Greenway
system,
so
we're
introducing
new
typologies
and
we've,
given
our
existing
one
name
so
spine
Greenways
are
our
biggest
Greenways,
where
we
expect
to
see
the
most
people
in
the
Wilma.
Dykeman
Greenway
is
a
great
example
of
what
a
spine
Greenway
looks
like
Reed.
V
Creek
Greenway
is
a
good
ex
example
of
our
arterial
Greenways,
which
are
also
wide
and
expect
to
see
a
lot
of
commuters
on
them,
but
they
go
into
the
out
away
from
the
rivers
to
different
directions
of
the
city,
and
our
new
types
of
Greenways
are
neighborhood
Greenway,
which
will
be
using
a
toolbox
of
simple
transportation
engineering
methods
to
make
our
neighborhood
streets
safer
and
also
natural
surface
trails.
V
So,
but
going
back
to
how
we're
going
to
get
this
done,
chapter
10
is
our
action
plan.
We
were.
We
use
those
10
goals
that
we
had
in
our
plans
to
break
out
our
action
steps.
We
have
58
action
steps
throughout
the
whole
10
goals
and
we
will
use
these
every
year
to
align
our
Capital
Improvement
plans,
requests
and
maintenance
projects
to
the
Gap
plan.
Priorities.
V
V
They
did
a
fantastic
job
and
also
to
let
you
know
that
our
plans
are
being
dedicated
to
to
women
that
were
on
our
planning
team,
who,
unfortunately
passed
away
during
the
planning
process,
and
these
Gap
plants
would
not
have
happened
without
the
commitment
of
these
two
women
who
dedicated
their
careers
to
improving
the
quality
of
life
of
the
most
vulnerable
users
of
our
transportation
system
and
all
the
rest
of
us
who
live
in
Asheville.
So
this
is
Barb
me
who
worked
for
the
city
of
Asheville
for
16
years
as
the
bike
ped
planner.
V
She
is
definitely
missed
on
a
daily
basis
by
multiple
departments
and
Janet
Barlow,
as
Asheville
citizen.
Who
was
the
president
and
co-founder
of
the
research
and
consulting
firm.
That's
nationally
acclaimed,
the
accessible
design
for
the
blind,
we're
so
lucky
that
they
both
lived
in
Nashville
and
that
they
have
a
lasting
Legacy
in
their
professional
fields.
And
we
will
be
forever
grateful
for
their
contributions
to
Asheville.
V
C
A
I
just
had
a
process
or
tracking
I'm
interested
in
the
tracking
of
the
changes,
because,
as
you
mentioned,
we
already
do
a
lot
of
work
every
year
and
you
can
see
the
work
being
done
out
out
in
the
community
and
I've
noticed
we
don't.
We
haven't
historically
had
like
a
central,
Clearing
House.
You
know
if
someone
says
what
sidewalk
projects
are
happening.
A
V
One
of
our
action
steps
is
a
dashboard
that
will
help
us
show
our
progress
in
relation
to
the
prioritization
lists
that
are
in
the
Gap
plan.
So
I
think
that
that
will
be
helpful.
Yeah
it'll
be
hopefully
very
similar
to
the
bond
dashboard.
W
D
A
K
Lucy's
before
before
you
sit
down,
I
just
want
to
say:
I
know
this
action
is
needed.
Our
planning
documents
for
multimodal
transportation
outside
the
transit,
which
is
fairly
new,
are
really
outdated
and
that
this
is
going
to
guide
our
future
budget
plans
and
policies,
and
it
wouldn't
happen
without
your
Steady
Hand
and
your
staff.
K
It's
needed
to
ensure
equity
and
safety
for
all
modes
in
our
transportation,
Network
and
I.
Think
about
the
phrase
nothing
about
us
without
us.
The
people
like
pre-array
of
DIY
abled,
the
members
of
the
blind,
Community
I've,
served
with
on
advisory
boards.
The
late
Janet,
Barlow
and
Barb
me
who
were
mentioned
today.
Who've
informed
his
work
over
time,
but
I
think
it's
also.
K
We
heard
the
plan
and
we're
going
to
hopefully
adopt
the
plan,
but
it
seems
to
me
that
we
need
two
things:
one
to
support:
follow-up
action,
it's
meaningful
and
two
partners,
because
we
have
that
huge
need
in
our
community
and
we're
not
going
to
get
there
by
ourselves.
So
one
thing
I
know
the
public
can
do
to
partner,
is
identify
gaps
and
identify
Ada
issues.
So
how
can
someone
in
a
neighborhood
someone
on
their
way
to
work,
identify
a
need,
submit
it
and
then
what
kind
of
action
could
they
expect
when
they
do.
V
K
V
Yeah
new
development
is
an
interesting
part
of
this,
because
we've
never
tracked
the
improvements.
The
Ada
improvements
that
new
development
makes
so
we've
never
even
considered
it
before.
So
that's
a
new
way
that
we
need
to
know
how
to
capture
our
improvements
and
what
was
the
other
part
I
forget.
Oh.
V
A
Could
somebody
oh
I,
got
a
couple.
People
signed
up
to
speak
any
other
questions
before
we
do
that.
Okay,
the
first
person
signed
up
to
speak
is
Billy
laughland
and
again
three
minutes
to
speak
and
just
follow
the
lights
on
the
lectern
and
the
beep
mean
stop.
X
X
I've
been
working
off
and
on
with
the
city
on
issues
of
accessibility
and
I.
Think
the
Gap
plan
is
a
good
framework
on
which
to
base
future
action,
but
I
think
that
we
need
a
lot
more
data.
X
X
X
We
need
that
with
The
Pedestrian
part
two
and
the
Greenways.
What
has
been
done?
How
much
money
was
allocated?
What
were
the
projects
and
was
that
really
accomplished,
and
so
I'm
hoping
that
dashboard
will
do
that
for
us,
I
I,
don't
really
like
the
corridor
approach.
I
think
that's
created
some
of
the
problems
we've
run
into
you
can
get
along
the
corridor,
but
you
can't
get
from
this
Corridor
to
that
corner
and
that's
what
US
Walkers
do
it's
not
always
easy
to
get
from
Charlotte
to
Merriman
to,
let
me
see
Montford,
that's
one!
X
X
We
need
to
see
how
we
really
move
through.
Where
is
there
the
traffic
and
let's
put
the
resources
in
there
and
I?
Think
the
next
five
years
should
be
devoted
to
Ada
improvements?
X
J
Mayor
council
manager
and
staff
I
am
Dave
Nutter,
a
community
planner
of
some
60
years
experience,
including
Greenways,
Riverfront,
revitalization,
fundraising
and
feasibility
studies.
Please
adopt
this
outstanding,
close
the
gap,
master
plan
for
Greenways,
handicapped
accessibility
and
pedestrian
improvements
for
all
the
people,
businesses
and
visitors
of
Asheville
I
served
on
the
advisory
committee
for
this
project.
J
As
a
member
of
The
Greenway
committee
and
multimodal
Transportation
Commission
I'm,
now
active
with
connect
Buncombe
and
the
better
with
bonds
committee
I
am
thrilled
with
what
has
been
accomplished,
find
network
design,
detailed
use
of
land
use
and
socioeconomic
data
interviews.
Neighborhood
assessments,
prioritization
and
GIS
mapping.
They
created
effective
public
engagement
in
a
pandemic.
I
was
pleased
to
see
a
commitment
to
social
equity
and
inclusion,
including
in
communities
of
color
I,
like
the
reference
to
the
Wilma
Dykeman
Riverway
master
plan
by
riverlink
as
a
visioning
basis,
exciting.
J
Now
that
we
have
the
first
segment
of
the
Riverway
in
reality
on
both
sides
of
the
French
Broad,
we
have
to
fill
two
major
gaps
to
fulfill
the
Riverway,
the
first
activates,
the
Swannanoa
River
Greenway
as
our
highest
priority,
including
restoring
its
River
and
Road
Connections.
The
second
extends
the
rad
tip
our
pride
North
along
the
west
side
of
Riverside
Drive
to
the
new
Woodfin
Greenway
and
blueway.
We
have
named
this
Central
Link
the
Wilma
Dyckman
extension.
Without
it,
there
would
be
a
gaping
hole
along
the
river
in
planning.
J
The
master
plan
must
come
first
prior
to
funding
and
implementation
for
each
priority
project.
A
feasibility
study
is
needed,
staging
determined,
Partnerships
arranged
and
multi-source
leveraged
financing
committed.
What
are
the
standouts
of
Asheville
Greenways,
Wilma,
Dykeman,
Karen,
Craig,
Nolan
mountains
motion,
all
people,
history,

Please
continue
your
good
work.
Thank
you
very
much.
K
Acknowledging
that
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
so,
it
doesn't
just
end
up
sitting
on
a
shelf
I'm
ready
to
make
a
motion
to
adopt
a
resolution
adopting
to
close
the
gap
plans,
the
city's
integrated
Greenway
master
plan,
Ada
transition
plan
for
public
rights
of
way
and
mass
pedestrian
master
plan
I'll.
Second,.
A
A
Thank
you,
folks,
folkly,
thorough
presentation,
excellent,
all
right.
We
are
moving
on
to
our
third
public
hearing
item.
It's
a
public
hearing
to
consider
amendments
to
sections
2-7-2-5,
7-8-1
and
7-17-5
of
the
unified
development
ordinance
to
update
definitions
table
of
uses
and
to
allow
manufactured
housing
to
be
replaced
with
other
manufactured
housing.
After
six
months
of
vacancy
Sasha,
Brzezinski
is
here
to
talk
to
us.
Y
It
also
includes
a
few
other
updates
to
bring
our
ordinance
into
line
with
new
state
statutes,
including
updated
definitions,
table
of
uses
and
removes
age
of
units
from
consideration
these
res.
These
revisions
will
help
preserve
some
of
the
community's
most
affordable,
deeply
affordable
housing
units.
Most
deeply
excuse
me,
and
we
don't
anticipate
that
any
of
these
changes
will
really
affect
neighborhoods
So.
Currently,
our
Udo
language
prevents
the
replacement
of
lawfully
established
manufactured
homes,
whether
in
a
manufactured
home
park.
Y
Y
So
we
have
parks
where
there
are
spots
that
could
accommodate
a
home,
but
they're
not
allowed
to
be
put
back
and
in
almost
every
instance,
these
manufactured
housing
spaces
have
an
address
and
utility
services,
but
prevented
just
by
zoning
regulations
and,
as
we
all
know,
manufactured
housing
can
represent
some
of
the
most
affordable
options
in
our
community.
Y
So
proposed
revision
would
allow
replacement
of
homes
and
existing
manufactured
home
housing
Park
spaces,
and
it
allows
replacement
of
homes
within
365
days
if
located
in
a
qualified
overlay
District.
So
this
is
just
single
Lots,
not
parks
and
then
for
other
non-park
spaces
that
if
you're
not
in
an
overlay
District,
it
maintains
the
180
day
limit
for
replacement.
Y
So
we
put
together
some
maps
and
really
this
is
just
because
a
question
when
we
talk
about
this
people
often
ask
how
many
units
do
we
have?
Where
are
they?
We
don't
have
an
answer
right
now
to
the
number
of
units,
but
it
just
helps
you
to
understand
and
picture
what's
going
on
here.
So
you
can
see
the
grayed
out
area
is
really
is
Buncombe
County.
So
if
there's
a
parcel
that
has
the
color
black,
that
means
there
might
be
one
mobile
home
there
might
be.
Y
You
know
there
might
be
five
we're
not
making
that
distinction
here,
but
you
can
see
that
in
the
county
there's
money
more
manufactured
homes
than
in
the
city
also
you'll
see
there's
this
overlay
District,
so
manufactured
housing,
overlay
districts.
So
that's
for
single
Lots
or
single
homes
and
and
the
old
Community
overlay
is
really
a
manufactured
home
park
and
you
can
see
down
here
in
this
very
bottom
corner,
it's
hard
to
see
and
I
apologize,
but
we're
trying
to
give
you
a
big
picture.
Y
Y
In
all
of
these
areas,
you
can
see
that
there's
many
more
manufactured
homes
out
in
the
county
as
opposed
to
the
city,
so
here's
an
existing
manufactured
housing
Park.
We
just
wanted
to
give
you
this
visual,
so
you
can
understand
the
main
impact
of
this
revision
of
the
ordinance.
So
if
somebody
moved
you
know
some
of
these
manufactured
homes
off
their
lots
and
waited
more
than
six
months,
they
couldn't
be
put
back.
Y
So
this
is
basically
all
we're
for
the
most
part
talking
about
so
the
affordable
housing
advisory
committee
reviewed
this
ordinance
change
in
September
and
voted
in
favor
of
it.
The
neighborhood
advisory
committee,
you
know,
saw
the
presentation
and
gave
us
positive
feedback
on
it,
and
planning
and
zoning
voted
six
to
one
in
favor
of
it
earlier
this
month.
O
Lots
within
the
city
limit-
and
you
were
saying
that
single
owner
Lots,
basically
because
a
lot
of
those
properties
that
were
actually
those
manufactured
homes
were
put
in
before
the
zoning.
Are
you
saying
that,
before
the
zoning
regulations
were
because
the
zonings
was
already
there,
it's
just
that
they
were,
they
were
not
not
allowed.
O
Y
Or
right
I
mean
I
mean
so
there's
like
three
different
cases
here,
or
maybe
four
or
five
okay,
but
there's
Parks
right.
So
that's
the
main
change.
If
someone
takes
their
manufactured
home
off
for
more
than
six
months,
we
can
put
one
back
and
we've
kind
of
removing
that
time
limitation.
If
you
can
show
that
there
was
one
there
we're
removing
that
time
limitation
if
you
are
on
a
single
lot
and
you're
in
the
overlay,
we're
extending
that
time
period
to
365
days
to
three:
okay.
U
Y
U
Y
D
Right
I
think
this
is
an
incredible
find.
I,
don't
know
who's
creative
I
have
a
sense.
Ricky
in
the
back
may
had
something
to
do
with
it,
but
what
this
is
the
creative
kind
of
Housing
Solutions?
We
need
in
this
crisis
right
now,
so
I
was
really
thankful
to
see
this
come
forward.
I
saw
ahac
had
discussed
it
as
well
and
I
appreciate
you
bringing
it
to
us.
Y
O
And
one
other
questions
Sasuke
on
those
particular
like
say,
for
instance,
at
basically
lots
that
are
single
family
lots,
that's
owned
and
may
have
a
on-frame
modular.
How
do
you
address
those
right.
C
C
O
O
And
see
a
lot
of
the
old
some
of
the
older
homes
that
basically,
what
modular
used
to
be,
what
we
consider
modular
or
basically
like
stick
built
or
whatever
correct,
but
older
ones,
basically
were
actually
considered
manufactured
because
they
weren't
built
up
the
standards
right
and
they
are
still
considered
manufactured
homes.
W
O
W
As
Sasha
just
indicated,
whichever
one
of
those
three
categories
it
falls
into
in
terms
of
the
property
zoning
that
is
classified
on
the
lot
that
it's
on,
if
it's
in
a
park,
if
it's
within
the
overlay
or
if
it's
just
within
a
lot.
C
W
It's
the
same
new
or
new
rules
are
going
to
apply
if
it's
in
one
of
the
first
two
it'll,
either
be
more
lenient
than
previously
would
have
been
allowed,
but
that's
only
for
replacement
if
it
is
simply
on
a
lot
where
it's
not
allowed.
That's
not
going
to
change
under
these
particular
ordinance.
Amendments.
O
K
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
staff,
because
this
is
our
third
consecutive
public
hearing
tonight,
touching
on
our
strategic
priority
of
neighborhood
resiliency.
So
thank
you.
Deborah
and
staff
in
this
decision.
I'm
looking
at
it
as
updating
three
sections
of
our
unified
development,
ordinance
or
Udo
manufactured
homes
will
be
easier
to
maintain
and
replace
because
their
limited
zoning
allowance
will
be
more
protected.
A
F
In
many
cases
now
modern
manufactured
housing
is
built
to
better
standards
than
stick
built,
housing,
it's
more
regulated,
it's
more
controlled,
it's
more
sturdy
and
longer
lasting
and
better
built
in
many
cases.
So
in
fact,
this
represents
an
opportunity
to
improve
the
lead-
the
the
least
expensive
kind
of
individual
home
availability
to
higher
standard,
because
now
these
old,
outdated,
dilapidated,
less
well-built
dwellings
can
be
swapped
out
for
something
new
and
much
better.
So
this
is
an
awesome
step
in
the
right
direction
for
a
much
needed
section
of
our
housing
stock.
F
There's,
no
reason
that
these
dwellings
have
to
be
aesthetically
distasteful,
there's
no
reason
why
they
should
be
considered
ghettoized
in
any
way
by
the
persons
who
live
in
them
or
the
people
who
are
providing
them.
They
are
well
built
if
they're
well
situated.
If
they're
well
served
by
public
infrastructure,
we
should
be
making
way
for
more
of
them
and
they
are
a
key
element
in
increasing
the
affordable
housing
stock
in
our
city.
Thank
you
for
your
attention
this
evening.
Z
Z
We
are
a
neighborhood
where
the
majority
of
the
members
of
our
organization
live
in
mobile,
home
parks
in
our
community
I
came
with,
and
my
neighbors
like
I
said
to
appreciate
your
consideration
to
amend
the
rules
that
put
families
living
in
Mobile
Homes
at
risk
and
that
erase
mobile
home
parks
in
Asheville
I
wanted
to
comment
to
recognize
that
the
amendments
to
the
development
ordinance
is
a
good
step
to
continue
protecting,
affordable
housing
to
protect
mobile
homes
and
mobile
home
parks
as
affordable
housing.
K
To
approve
the
proposed
wording,
amendments
to
articles
2,
8
and
17
of
the
Udo
and
find
that
the
proposed
amendments
are
reasonable
are
in
the
public.
Interest,
are
considered
consistent
with
the
city's
comprehensive
plan
and
meet
the
development
needs
of
the
community
and
that
the
Amendments
will
one
eliminate
the
attrition
of
manufactured
homes
and
Parks
due
to
time
limits
to
allow
manufactured
home
park
owners
to
take
advantage
of
existing
infrastructure
and
three
promotes
the
availability
of
affordable
and
Workforce
housing.
By
maximizing
the
opportunities
for
the
location
and
maintenance
of
affordable
housing
units.
C
A
Any
opposed,
thank
you
very
much
for
coming
down
here
tonight
on
this
one,
and
we
got
a
thumbs
up
back.
A
C
N
Thank
you.
Vice
mayor
will
pompous
with
plenty
of
Urban
Design
Department
I'll,
be
presenting
on
this
conditional
zoning
petition.
N
As
mentioned
this
conditional
zoning
petition
is
for
three
properties
located
near
848,
Hendersonville
Road,
you
can
see
the
existing
zoning
is
a
combination
between
the
three
properties
that
total
2.3
Acres,
currently
Zone,
Highway
business
and
office.
The
applicant
is
requesting
to
rezone
the
entire
site
to
Highway
business
conditional
Zone.
N
This
application
is
unlike
a
lot
of
the
conditional
zonings
where,
due
to
the
size
of
the
projects,
additional
zoning
is
required.
This
project
is
seeking
and
conditional
zoning,
not
only
to
you,
know,
be
transparent
with
the
plans
that
are
being
proposed
for
the
site,
but
also
to
address
some
of
the
technical
modifications
that
the
project
is
not
able
to
meet
based
on
the
highway
business.
Zoning.
N
So
the
aerial
imagery
of
the
site,
you
can
see
that
you
know
two
of
the
three
sites
are
vacant.
The
third
property
is
a
operating
business,
Colton
Mattress
Factory,
where
they
produce
and
sell
mattresses.
N
N
Project
has
been
through
a
couple
iterations
and,
what's
being
shown,
tonight
differs
slightly
from
what
was
submitted
in
the
the
council,
material
packet
and
I'll
kind
of
be
walking
through
some
of
those
adjustments
and
kind
of
interpreting
them
in
relation
to
the
previously
reviewed,
Planning
and
Zoning
commission's
approval
of
the
projects,
but
for
now
I'll,
just
kind
of
walk
through
the
site
generally
essentially
what's
being
proposed,
are,
is
three
three
buildings,
two
of
which
are
are
new
and
just
to
orient
folks.
N
North
is
to
the
left,
so
Hendersonville
Road
is
is
kind
of
page
bottom
to
the
West.
So
two
new
buildings,
one
proposed
at
the
corner
of
Hendersonville
Road
and
corn
and
Forest
Street
in
the
southwest
corner
of
the
site.
A
new
building
proposed
on
the
Eastern
side
of
the
site
towards
the
rear
of
the
property,
and
then
previously
proposed,
was
a
rebuilding
of
the
existing
Colton
Mattress
Factory
business.
N
And
now
the
new
proposal
is
to
retain
that
building
on
site,
but
expand
it
at
the
rear
and
at
the
front,
access
to
the
site
is
via
three
like
two
driveways
one
on
Hendersonville
Road
and
one
on
Forest
Street
with
a
dumpster
and
loading
access
for
for
the
existing
building
off
of
Cornell
Street,
a
total
of
should
be
now
83
total
parking
spaces
are
provided.
A
new
five
foot
wide
sidewalks
are
proposed
with
burying
planting
strips
widths
that
I'll
speak
to
momentarily.
N
The
project
is
compliant
with
the
landscaping
and
open
space
standards
and
then
tree
canopy
preservation
standards
are
met
through
a
combination
of
on-site
plantings
and
fee
and
Lou,
and
then
one
you
know
important
feature
of
the
project
which
was
at
the
direction
of
the
Planning
and
Zoning
commission
was
to
explore
options
for
improving
the
kind
of
setback
and
screening
at
the
rear
of
the
property.
N
I
should
go
back
and
and
mention
that
there's
a
single
family
house
to
the
east,
at
the
rear
of
the
project
site,
so
the
use
of
single
family,
the
the
zoning
is
office.
So,
typically,
the
zoning
code
requires
special
buffering
when
a
commercial
zoning
district
is
next
to
a
residential
zoning.
District,
which
is,
is
not
the
case
here,
but
there
is
a
single
family
use.
N
So
planning
zoning
commission
recommended
some
some
adjustments,
things
like
reducing
the
the
parking
lot
Island
widths,
moving
the
buildings
closer
to
Hendersonville
Road,
encroaching
into
that
front
setback
more
in
order
to
provide
more
distance
at
the
rear
of
the
property.
So
the
applicant
has
has
done
that
in
response.
N
They've
also
provided
more
screening
with
vegetation
and
trees
that
I'll
speak
to
in
a
moment
and
then
in
really
the
last
couple
few
days
redesigned
the
project
slightly
more
to
be
to
be
even
closer
to
Andersonville,
Road,
so
I'll,
just
kind
of
speak
to
those
changes
briefly
here,
essentially
and
I
apologize
that
this
top
bullet
is
is
incorrect.
The
square
footage
increases
by
about
1500
square
feet
in
total,
so
relatively
small
amount.
N
N
N
So
essentially,
the
existing
848
Hendersonville
Road
building
will
have
an
addition
at
the
rear
at
the
basement
level
for
more
warehouse
space
and
we'll
have
an
addition
at
the
front
on
the
main
Hendersonville
Road
level
for
retail
space,
and
that's
that
front
yard
set
back
from
the
road
is
proposed
to
decrease
from
30
feet,
which
is
the
prior
iteration
to
18
feet
where
35
feet
is
required
in
the
district
technically
and
the
side
yard
setback
remains
unchanged
at
10
feet,
which
is
consistent
with
the
current
sighting
of
the
of
the
building
and
then
likewise.
N
Other
aspects
of
the
project
like
parking,
Landscaping,
screening
and
sidewalks
are
are
pretty
much
unchanged.
I
think
the
only
change
in
that
is
the
number
of
parking
spaces
increases
by
two
and
then
the
Landscaping
shifts
to
accommodate
the
new
site
plan,
but
the
total
number
of
plantings
pretty
much
Remains
the
Same
and
and
is
compliant
with
the
code,
so
I
just
want
to
help.
You
understand
some
of
those
changes
that
happens
in
the
last
last
few
days,
as
you
can
see
from
the
Landscaping
plan.
N
Number
of
Street
trees,
building
impacts,
trees,
parking
lot
vegetation
is
all
shown
here
want
to
kind
of
focus
on
the
rear
of
the
site,
which
was
a
lot
of
the
discussion
at
planning.
Zoning
commission,
where
the
the
project
is
proposing
to
plant
trees
for
their
tree
canopy
preservation
requirements,
but
we'll
also
screen
the
projects
from
the
rear
towards
the
Shiloh
Community.
Better.
N
There's
also
along
the
property
line
of
the
of
the
property
that
is,
a
single
family
house,
a
proposed
six
foot
tall
privacy
fence
in
a
row
of
Arborvitae,
which
are
a
type
of
Evergreen
Bush
that
grow
very
quickly,
so
that
should
provide
extra
screening
there
as
well-
and
here
are
the
kind
of
latest
and
greatest
elevation
drawings.
This
top
set
of
drawings
is
the
existing
Mattress
Factory.
N
Building
with
the
additions
shown
so
kind
of
the
rear
portion
of
the
north
elevation
would
be
the
expanded
basement
level
and
then
expanded
retail
on
the
front
of
that
elevation.
Essentially,
the
building
kind
of
gets
a
facelift
and
is
brought
closer
to
the
street,
so
I
think
aesthetically
the
building
would
be
would
be
improved
and
for
a
lot
of
intents
and
purposes,
look
like
an
like
a
newer
building.
N
You
can
see
kind
of
the
sloping
nature
of
both
from
Hendersonville
Road
and
across
the
site
between
Cornell
and
Forest
streets,
and
then
the
retail
building
at
856
Hendersonville
Road
in
the
southwest
corner
of
the
site.
Elevation
drawings
are
shown
here,
so
it
got
slightly
elongated
to
be
closer
to
the
street.
In
some
of
the
parapet,
height
walls
on
the
roof
structure
were
shifted
to
accommodate
the
location
of
the
street
trees,
but
that
did
not
change
significantly.
N
So
there
are
a
number
of
technical
modifications
that
the
project
is
seeking
through
the
conditional
zoning
process.
The
first
couple
relate
to
the
required
setbacks
in
the
highway
business
district.
That
I
spoke
about
earlier,
so
for
the
building
at
848
Hendersonville
Road.
The
project
is
Seeking
a
reduction
in
the
required
front
setback
from
35
feet
to
about
18
feet
and
then
for
the
side
yard
set
back,
which
would
be
along
Cornell
street
from
the
required
25
feet
to
10
feet
in
the
side
yard
setback.
N
Similarly,
the
building
at
856
Hendersonville
Road
is
Seeking,
a
reduction
in
the
required
setback
from
35
feet
to
20
feet
and
then
a
couple
a
couple
of
these.
Well,
the
next
modifications
really
disregarding
the
planting
strip
for
the
new
sidewalk
along
Cornell
Street,
just
north
of
the
loading
area.
Where
do
the
topography
that
that
kind
of
planting
area
grass
cannot
be
achieved?
N
So
the
sidewalk
would
be
against
the
street
in
that
section
and
then
the
last
modification
being
sought
is
kind
of
a
in
response
to
the
Planning
and
Zoning
commission's
recommendation
to
find
more
room
in
the
site
to
make
the
rear
set
back,
larger
and
better
screens,
so
that
that
basically
results
in
a
reduction
in
the
width
of
the
parking
lot
Islands
from
10
feet
to
eight
feet.
N
N
So
the
project
was
approved
with
conditions
at
the
September
19th
technical,
Review,
Committee
and
then
was
approved
with
conditions
at
the
October
5th,
Planning
and
Zoning
commission
meeting.
You
can
see
the
the
condition
of
approval
regarding
the
the
parking
aisle
reduction
and
I
should
step
back
a
little
bit
some
of
those.
So
there
were
really
two
issues
going
on.
One
was
the
rear
setback.
N
The
other
was
the
older
version
that
was
submitted
to
planning
the
zoning
commission
had
a
reduced
planting
strip
along
Hendersonville
Road
for
the
new
five
foot
wide
sidewalk
and
planning,
and
zoning
wanted
to
talk
through
with
the
applicant
during
the
meeting
about
different
ways
that
an
entire
eight
foot
wide
planting
strip
could
be
achieved
along
that
Corridor,
so
I'm,
reducing
the
the
parking
aisle
area
was
also
a
one
way
of
achieving
a
consistent,
eight
foot,
wide
planting
strip
along
Hendersonville
Road.
N
So
it
kind
of
served
two
purposes
really
and
then
there
are
also
the
recommendation
for
the
applicant
to
look
at
reducing
setbacks
and
buffers
in
order
to
increase
the
rear,
the
rear
buffer
on
the
property.
So
that's
where
the
project
was
originally
proposed
to
be
within
that
35,
foot,
front
setback
and
and
then
the
new
versions
encroach
into
that
setback
partially.
As
a
result
of
this
recommendation
to
increase
the
rear
setback.
N
Yes,
so
they
at
the
direction
of
planning
zoning
commission,
they
did
redesign
the
projects
and
basically,
the
further
changes
that
have
been
made,
which
changed
the
scope
of
the
projects
to
include
the
retention
of
the
existing
Mattress
Factory
building
and
the
additions
on
it.
N
You
know,
move
the
building
even
closer
to
the
street,
but
that
is
something
that
planning
zoning
commission
did
not
have
an
issue
with
in
some
of
that
discussion,
even
centered
around
the
idea
that,
having
such
a
large
front
back
a
setback
in
the
front
of
the
site
is
kind
of
an
older,
older
type
of
zoning
code,
where
we
like
to
see
buildings
closer
to
the
street
generally
anyway,
so
that
change
in
the
design
would
be
consistent
with
Planning
and
Zoning
commissions.
Recommendation
and
discussion
at
that
meeting.
N
K
N
K
Because
I'm,
just
thinking
about
talked
about
mobility
and
accessibility
and
partners
needed
for
our
sidewalks
and
our
ADA
compliance.
And
here
we
are
and
I'm
like.
Oh
only
five
feet
so
If
This
Were,
to
go
back
to
another
review
process.
C
N
Yeah
I
would
some
of
those
details.
I'd
I
would
defer
to
the
applicant
about
their
ability
to
provide
a
water,
sidewalk,
so
they're
they're
here
tonight
as
well,
and
that
might
be
something
that
they
would
consider.
I
won't
speak
for
them
in
that
regard,
the
the
project
does
meet
the
requirements
of
the
sidewalk,
except
for
the
planting
strip
on
one
portion
of
Cornell,
Street
and
I
know
some
of
the
implementation.
N
Steps
of
the
Gap
plan
would
revolve
around
and
include
updating
the
standard
and
specification
design
manual,
so
that
you
know
having
an
updated
requirements
for
sidewalks
and
other
features
for
private
development
could
be
an
outcome
following
the
adoption
of
that
plan
earlier.
So
it
could
be
one
way
to
achieve
it
too
going
forward.
Thank.
D
You
so
much
you're
welcome
just
one
little
quick
question
when
I'm
looking
at
the
site
plan.
It's
all
these
setback
changes
because
it's
almost
like
because
they
own
all
of
these
Parcels.
This
side
setback
is
kind
of
irrelevant,
because
they're
adjacent
to
roads,
right
I,
mean
like
normally,
we
do
the
setbacks
so
that
you
have
two
buildings
adjacent
to
each
other
and
they're
set
back
from
each
other,
but
we're
setting
back
from
a
road.
You.
N
Know
on
the
side
street
yeah
yeah
staff
has
no
issue
with
those
reductions.
N
In
that
regard,
they
have
these
large
large
setbacks
in
small
buildings
and
lots
of
parking
and
what
you,
what
you
see
is
what
you
get
and
a
lot
of
those
stretches
at
Harrisonville
road.
So.
N
Q
N
D
N
Adjacent
to
an
urban
center
designation
in
the
city's
comprehensive
plan
and
and
the
property
just
to
the
south
of
this
site
across
Forest
Street
is
designated
urban
center
in
the
future
land
use.
N
So
the
that
on
the
map,
which
is
a
very
large
scale
map,
so
the
dots
you
know
kind
of
hard
to
interpret
it's
generally
in
this
area,
but
when
you
zoom
into
the
actual
future
land
use
designation,
this
is
urban
Corridor
into
the
south.
Is
urban
center?
Okay,.
N
N
The
project
also
supports
the
following
goal
in
the
Shiloh
community
plan,
which
is
to
work
to
improve
the
livability
of
the
neighborhood
by
improving
pedestrian
accessibility
throughout
the
neighborhood
and
then
just
a
note
about
the
project
partially
supports
the
following
goal
in
the
plan,
which
is
to
protect,
enhance
and
complement
the
existing
character
of
Shiloh,
and
that
commercial
incursion
should
be
prevented
in
the
shallow
community,
and
this
is
kind
of
thinking
about
the
existing
zoning
to
the
rear
and
how
you
know
this
is
not
changing
use
from
residential
to
commercial.
N
It's
not
changing
zoning
from
residential
to
commercial.
It's
changing
a
type
of
office
use
to
the
highway
business.
Zoning
and
I
think
the
fact
that
you
know
the
the
rear
the
rear
yard
setback
isn't
is
enhanced,
then,
that
commercial,
that
feeling
of
commercial
incursion
is
is
reduced.
N
So
you
know
you
could
say
it's
one
of
those
things
where
it's
technically
not
incur
being
an
incursion
into
the
neighborhood,
because
it's
not
changing
land
uses,
but
it
is,
you
do
have
a
project.
Now
that's
going
to
be
closer
to
a
residential
house,
even
though
it's
not
Zone
residential,
where
currently
there
is
kind
of
a
office.
The
office
zoning
serves
as
a
type
of
buffer
between
the
more
maybe
intense
Highway
business
and
the
residential
uses
to
the
rear.
N
So
this
would
change
one
property
from
office
to
Highway
business
and
could
be
seen
as
getting
closer
to
the
neighborhood,
but
there
will
still
be
some
office.
Zoning
in
between
and
I
think
the
design
of
the
site
helps
to
kind
of
mitigate
that
effect
as
well.
So
it's
a
little
bit
of
a
little
bit
of
a
gray
area.
G
N
It's
great
that
they're
here
tonight.
My
understanding
is
that
they
were
pleased
with
those
changes
and
they,
you
know,
had
concerns
about
the
project
and
the
proximity
to
the
neighborhood.
N
And
my
understanding
is
that
they
were
glad
to
see
the
the
recent
changes
with
the
20-foot
rear
setback
and
enhanced
landscaping.
And
that
kind
of
thing.
But.
N
So
finally,
Seth
concurs
with
Planning
and
Zoning
commission.
It
recommends
approval
of
the
proposed
conditional
zoning
staff
supports
the
changes
to
the
site
plan,
since
the
review
by
planning
zoning
commission
finds
that
the
changes
are
consistent
with
the
recommendations
of
Planning
and
Zoning
Commission.
N
Q
AA
Good
evening
my
name
is
Craig
Justice
I'm,
with
the
Van
Winkle
Law
Firm
I'm.
The
reason
that
Esther
got
kicked
out
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
the
rezoning
applicant.
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
speak.
This
is
a
and
I'm
standing
in
for
why
Stevens?
AA
This
is
a
process
that
has
worked.
We
feel
like,
because
when
we
came
in
front
of
Planning
and
Zoning
commission,
the
original
plan
had
proposed
a
10-foot
buffer
in
the
rear.
You
may
have
heard,
of
course,
that
the
current
zoning
of
the
property
doesn't
require
any
buffering
at
all
between
Highway
business
and
office.
This
property
is
surrounded
by
a
highway
business
or
office.
AA
AA
The
chairman
of
the
PNC
was
very
helpful
and
thought
out
of
the
box
and
said
well,
if
you
could
move
buildings
closer
to
the
road
and
do
various
other
things
and
moving
things
around
I
hope
we
can
generate
more
of
a
buffer,
and
so
that's
what
we
did.
We
took
what
p
and
Z
ultimately
directed
us
to
do.
We
moved
the
buildings
closer
to
Huntersville
Road
and
we
were
able
to
generate
a
double
the
buffer
than
it
was
originally
shown.
AA
That's
how
the
process
should
work,
and
we
believe
that
the
changes
that
have
made
are
consistent
with
what
PNC
asked
us
to
do.
Ultimately,
we
feel
like
this
is
a
very
positive
project,
because
it
hits
a
number
of
the
goals
that
you
have
in
your
comprehensive
land
use
plan,
including
infill
development.
This
is
a
retail
project
that
would
be
close
proximity
to
residential
to
allow
for
pedestrian
mobility
and
we
are
improving
the
sidewalk
that
is
30
years
old
in
front
of
this
a
property.
So
we
think
we
hit
all
the
right
buttons.
AA
Q
AB
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
I.
We
just
want
to
share
one
thing
and
then
our
liaison
to
support
the
speaking.
This
is
a
great
project.
I
think
it's
going
to
probably
do
a
whole
lot
for
a
lot
of
people.
AB
Carolina
department
said
that
they
hit
a
roadblock.
Now
you
can't
tell
me
something
with
this.
AB
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
share
that
and
thank
I
think
the
English
I've
been
like
I
said:
I've
used
it
when
it
wasn't
Eagles,
it
was
another
store.
So
so
thank
you
very
much
for
for
what
you're
doing,
but
we
want
to
be
considered
too
and
I
know.
You
have
to
speak
up
because
I
started
doing
this
when
we
didn't
even
have
stop
signs
and
when
we
won
this
four-way
stop
signs
we
had
to.
We
had
the
lobby
for
them,
and
so
we
are
still
lobbying
for
four-way.
AB
Stop
signs
in
shallow,
but
I
can
tell
you
I,
don't
know
where
it
is
who
it
is
or
what
they
look
like.
But
when
you
go
around
Caribou
after
you
pass
a
certain
point,
there
are
four-way,
stop
signs
all
the
way
to
Hendersonville
Road,
but
in
Shallow
we
are
still
pushing
to
get
stop
signs
so
that
we
can
safely
have
a
place
where
we
all
have
a
four-way.
Stop
so
I,
don't
know
what
that's
about
out.
I
won't
stay
here,
but
I'm.
Just
saying
that
we
need
to
look
at
all
of
that.
Thank
you.
H
We
talked
about
the
trees,
the
resident
wanted
three
campuses
and
also
we
at
first
we
talked
about
storm
water
because
we
were
concerned
about
the
other,
with
the
building
that
they're
going
to
renovate,
and
now
we
to
the
place
where
they're
going
to
do
some
buildings
and
and
they'll
be
doing
that
soon.
So
we
understand
that
there
are
certain
things
that
the
city,
or
they
have
asked
the
city
to
consider
like
sidewalks,
not
the
people
that
stand
up
the
sidewalks.
H
H
One
of
the
things
that
we
have
asked
all
the
developers
to
come
to
the
shallow
Community
Association
and
let
us
know
what
development
you're
planning
to
do
in
our
neighborhood
and
sometimes
this
happens
and
sometime
it
doesn't,
and
so
we
have
to
go
back
and
say:
please
come
if
you
make
any
changes,
please
can't
come
and
let
us
know
and
I
think
Mr
will
can
tell
you
I,
email
him
and
we
talk
and
and
to
so
I
can
understand
exactly
what's
going
on.
So
we
are
not
against
this
project.
H
H
One
thing
I
would
like
to
say
on
behalf
of
Walton
Street
Park
I
am
so
excited
about
that
I
said
1939.
That
was
the
year
I
was
born
and
something
is
still
going
to
be
here.
H
I
said
that
is,
that's
beautiful,
so
I'm
excited
about
that
and
I'm
excited
about
other
things
that
the
Afro-American
buildings
that
are
left
because
I
was
very
upset
about
Stevens
Lee
I
went
to
school
there
and
graduated
I
went
to
school
at
a
Rosa
wall
school
and
it's
gone
I'm
glad
to
see
Mars
Hill
still
has
theirs
praise
the
Lord
and,
and
so
we
hope
that
some
more
buildings
will
be
saved
that
are
afro-americans.
Thank
you.
Q
With
the
applicant
like
to
come
forward
and
address
the
first
question
about
the
placement
of
the
traffic
light.
AA
So
we,
my
folks
back
here,
were
have
been
in
talks
with
the
city
and
the
state
and
ultimately
the
paperwork
and
the
studies
they're
ongoing
will
be
filed
with
the
state
to
ask
for
a
stoplight
there.
It
is
a
state
decision.
AA
AA
Ironically,
when
apparently
the
last
time
it
went
around
to
ask
for
a
stoplight
there,
there
wasn't
enough
traffic
in
order
to
justify
a
stoplight
having
this
property
developed.
So
it
would
generate
traffic
helps
to
have
a
stoplight.
D
I've
heard
in
the
past
that
this
community
is
really
great
at
petitioning.
I
will
say
that,
but
I've
heard
in
the
past
that
you
can
actually
petition
ncdot
for
traffic
lights
and
changes
and
I've
been
trying
to
find
out
where
you
can
send
those
signatures.
But
if
we
can
find
out
we'll
get
it
to
you,
because
I
think
the
residents
could
really
act
on
that.
AA
We're
respectfully
asking
please
do
not
send
us
back.
We
we
had
a
lot
of
dialogue
with
the
pnz
directing
us
to
move
the
pieces
around
the
way
they
thought
it
would
be
helpful
and
ultimately
we
did
all
that,
as
your
staff
said,
there's
really
no
reason
to
go
back
to
pnz,
and
so
we
respectfully
asked
for
not
that
that
extra
level,
because
it's
not
necessary
I.
AA
D
D
D
I'll
make
a
motion
to
approve
the
conditional
zoning
request
for
the
property
located
at
848-852
and
856
Hendersonville
Road
from
Highway
business
and
office,
one
to
Highway
business,
conditional
Zone
hbcz
and
find
that
the
request
is
reasonable
is
in
the
public.
Interest
is
consistent
with
the
city's
comprehensive
plan
and
meets
the
development
needs
of
the
community
and
that
request.
One
provides
infield
development
and
targeted
growth
areas
to
establishes
accessible
and
well-connected
Commercial
nodes,
consistent
with
strategies
outlined
in
the
plans,
growth
areas
and
three
eliminates
gaps
in
the
city-wide
sidewalk
Network
I'll.
C
Q
C
Y
Y
Y
Y
Y
This
is
just
you
know
to
illustrate
how
the
five
million
of
the
Housing
Trust
Fund
excuse
me:
the
affordable
housing
Bond
Monies,
5
million,
was
allocated
to
the
Housing
Trust
Fund,
and
this
is
how
it
was
spent.
So
this
is
kind
of
that
breakdown
of
the
190
3
units
or
so-
and
these
are
all
this
is
a
variety
of
projects.
I
know
we've,
given
this
presentation
to
hcd
and
maybe
I'm,
not
sure
Finance.
Y
We
had
approximately
three
million
dollars
available
to
lend
out
Council
allocated
850
000
to
restaurant
core
and
I
could
tell
you
now
that
closing
just
happened
yesterday.
So
that's
been
purchased.
So
that's
great
Council
also
allocated
1.5
million
to
Laurelwood
apartments
in
September
and
at
your
next
meeting
we
will
have
the
official
rescinding
of
the
original
loan
for
restaurant
court,
so
that
adds
back
in
another
million
dollars,
so
we
have
about
approximately
1.65
million
for
the
Housing
Trust
Fund
Switching
gears
to
the
bond
funds.
This
is
how
the
bond
funds
have
been
spent.
Y
Y
Okay,
thank
you:
yeah
land
banking,
three
million
the
Asheville
Buncombe
Community
Land
Trust,
one
million
in
city-owned
land
Alec.
We
had
much
more
money
allocated
to
that.
So
I
know
some
questions
have
come
up
about.
Why
is
there
this
leftover
money
and
that
that's
where
that
money
is,
we
had
thought
that
we
were
going
to
be
able
to
relocate
some
of
our
Public
Works
facilities,
maybe
not
right
away,
but
looking
at
you
know,
gaining
back
some
of
that
Charlotte
Street
land
and
building
and
some
housing
there.
A
Y
Y
Y
Y
D
A
D
H
A
The
the
idea
was
that
the
Public
Works
would
be
relocated
was
one
of
the
reasons
it
was
earmarked
and
that
would
there
would
be
a
cost
associated
with
buying
land
to
replace
it,
so
that
that
would
free
that
up
for.
D
Y
So
that's
where
we
get
our
balance
of
available
housing,
affordable
housing,
trust
funds,
I
will
say
and
I
should
say
that
one
of
the
buckets
the
fifth
bucket
here
was
also
a
down
payment
assistance
program
which
I
think
we
all
we
all
know
about.
Maybe
the
public
doesn't
know,
but
that
was
approximately
one
million
dollar
projected
expense.
Y
So
our
recommendation
for
the
remaining
6.5
million
is
to
reserve
approximately
a
half
million
for
planning
and
pre-development
activities
on
City
on
land
and
then
allocate
6
million
to
the
Housing
Trust
Fund.
So,
as
I
said
earlier,
we'll
be
coming
back
to
you
in
December,
at
your
December
meeting,
to
talk
about
some
policy
revisions
to
the
Housing,
Trust,
Fund
and
potentially
adding
guidelines
for
land
acquisition.
We
actually
have
some
in
our
policy
but
including
Provisions.
There
were
some
ideas
that
came
from
the
Housing
and
Community
Development
Committee
around.
Y
Could
we
set
aside
some
funding
for
land
acquisition
in
urban,
formerly
urban
renewal
properties?
So
that's
not
city-owned
property.
That's
privately
held
property.
That's
in
urban
renewal
areas
or
it
could
be
city-owned
property
that
somebody
wants
to
develop,
that
we're
working
with
in
Partnership.
Y
Y
Y
We
get
applications
that
often
don't
conform
to
our
policy,
so
we
want
to
make
our
policy
make
a
little
bit
more
sense,
aligning
it
with
the
Buncombe
County
cycle
and
then,
but
when
we
so
when
we
put
out
a
call
in
December,
let's
say
and
get
applications
back
in
February
and
then
we'll
be
coming
through
hcd
and
then
the
city
council.
With
our
recommendations
for
funding,
we
don't
expect
to
be
spending
all
of
this
money
in
one.
Go,
that's
not
what
this
is
about.
Y
So
there
are
some
ideas
here
on
the
table
that
are
going
to
take
some
time
to
develop
and
so
I
think
Council,
and
we
could
probably
talk
more
about
this
in
December
about
holding
back
a
chunks
of
this
money.
For
some
of
these
other
pieces,
which
could
include
down
payment
assistance-
and
you
know
the
sight
Readiness,
there
was
also
a
site
Readiness
program
idea.
That
could
be
another
piece
so
so,
because
you're
we're
adding
the
six
million
plus
the
1.65.
K
Y
K
That's
possible
that
might
answer
some
of
the
questions
we're
getting
around.
What?
Why
do
we
have
this
remaining
fund?
What
could
have
happened
that
we
didn't
do,
and
what
I'm
hearing
is
that
the
public
works
facility
gave
us
that
pause
where
now
we
are
going
to
allocate
to
this,
to
give
us
more
flexibility.
Is
that
an
accurate
yes.
Y
Let
me
talk
about
a
little
bit
about
the
uses,
and
that
may
also
help
so
here
currently
in
our
current
policy
here
are
eligible
uses
of
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund,
also
known
as
the
Housing
Trust,
just
like
start
adding
words,
construction
of
new
housing
for
sale
or
rent,
including
land
acquisition
and
hard
costs,
conversion
or
adaptive,
reuse
of
existing
non-residential
structures
for
housing,
so
kind
of
like
converting
a
days
in
or
a
Ramada
right
purchase
and
Rehab
of
existing
substandard
multi-family
units
purchase
and
rehab
or
conversion
of
market
rate,
multi-family
developments,
manufactured
housing
and
modular,
Construction,
construction
of
container
homes,
tiny
homes
and
other
Innovative
housing
structures
down
payment
assistance
loans,
as
long
as
funds
are
not
forgiven.
Y
That's
in
the
policy
today,
some
restrictions
that
are
in
the
policy
today,
they're
not
available
for
individuals
to
renovate
your
own
home
minimum
of
20
percent
of
the
total
units
must
be
affordable
for
the
proposed
development
and
then
affordable
units
have
been
pledged
to
the
city
in
exchange
for
a
density
bonus,
conditional,
zoning
or
other
consideration
will
be
ineligible.
So
the
idea
there
is
like-
and
this.
C
Y
Is
probably
going
to
come
up
in
terms
of
consideration
of
like
if
I
came
through
it
I
got
my
CZ
and
I
had
a
tax
credit
project,
it's
100,
affordable
and
then
I
got
my
tax
credits
and
then
I
realized
I,
have
a
gap
and
I
want
to
come
back
to
the
city
of
Asheville
and
ask
for
Housing
Trust
Fund
the
policy
right
now
says
you
can't
do
that.
Y
It
says
if
you
add
affordability,
which
is
what
Reed
Creek
did
a
few
months
ago.
We.
U
Of
months
we
will
in
hcd
work
to
massage
the
policies
and
what
is
so
effective
about
this
now
is
by
moving
it
over.
We
would
have
conformed
to
the
timing
requirement
for
the
bond
the
bond
timing
requirement
and
then
to
go
further
into
your
question
about
where
did
other
stuff
go?
I
can
think
of
a
few
instances
where
we
made
an
an
allocation.
The
applicant
came
back
and
returned
it
like
you
just
saw
one
for
restaurant
court
right
so
that
so
we're
dealing
with
money
that
technically
has
not
been
allocated
right.
D
Law
requirements
moving
through
committee
and
I
think
what
you're
seeing
in
this
presentation
is
that
we're
going
to
kind
of
do
a
pilot
in
a
sense
of
so
far
Housing
Trust
Fund
loan
applications
have
been
on
a
rolling
basis.
You
could
apply
at
any
time
they
could
come
to
council
at
any
time,
but
we're
looking
at
a
pilot
of
trying
to
align
with
the
county
and
other
partners
like
dogwood
Health
Trust,
because
we're
seeing
that
these
the
increase
in
cost
the
increase
in
land.
D
Everything
is
pushing
the
cost
of
these
projects
so
high
that
we
really
have
to
be
more
strategic
Partners
to
get
them
done.
So
if
the
county
is
allocating
in
February
and
we're
allocating
in
July
and
Dogwood
is
maybe
in
November,
it's
really
hard
to
pull
together
a
capital
stack.
So
this
is
a
little
bit
like
you
know.
We're
not
we're
not
saying
I,
don't
know
that
we'll
have
any
Housing
Trust
Fund
apps
in
the
next
couple
months.
We
might
but
we're
I.
D
D
Y
A
Y
Y
A
To
put
your
money,
I
think
getting
on
the
same
cycle
with
the
with
Buncombe
County
and.
C
C
Y
So
the
process
for
this
allocation
is
it's
been
to
ahac,
who
voted
and
I'll
talk
about
their
Motion
in
just
a
second
hcd.
Had
a
formal
vote
last
week
and
we're
here
today
and
then
again
we'll
be
coming
to
you
really
in
December,
with
some
Housing
Trust
Fund
policy.
Y
With
some
policy
changes,
so
yes,
so
the
hcd
review
is
actually
reviewed.
It
twice.
They
reviewed
it
in
September
and
just
gave
gave
staff
some
feedback
and
then
voted
formally.
Last
week
they
expressed
interest
in
using
a
portion
of
the
bond
funds
for
site
Readiness
program,
which
is
that's
about
kind
of
pre-development.
The
costs
that
are,
we
consider
them
soft
costs
and
they're
not
allowed
currently
by
Housing
Trust
Fund
down
payment
assistance
and
funding
land
acquisition
in
previously
red
blind
areas.
Y
So
we
will
start
addressing
those
Concepts
and
come
back
to
you
with
thoughts
about
that
in
December,
ahac
was
asked
by
hcd
to
you
know,
review
it
and
they
they
endorsed
it.
They
did
I
think
they
felt
pretty
strongly
and
supported
some
of
these
ideas
coming
about
about
from
hcd
and
requested
that
staff
prioritize
the
focus
of
the
reallocated
bond
funds
on
down
payment
assistance
and
encouraging
Redevelopment
of
sites
within
urban
renewal
and
redlining
Maps.
D
I
just
wanted
to
briefly
speak
to
the
down
payment
assistance,
because
I
know
it
keeps
coming
up
and
just
for
the
community's
clarity,
so
we
did
originally
intend
to
have
a
million
dollar
down
payment
assistance
program.
We
went
to
RFP,
we
received
a
couple
proposals
back,
but
neither
one
of
the
proposals
aligned
with
the
criteria
that
we
had
set
out
to
achieve,
and
partly
in
the
repayment
and
the
Forgiveness,
which
was
a
critical
piece,
so
it
kind
of
just
fell
flat.
So
we
don't
want
to
abandon
it
necessarily.
D
So
we're
not
saying
that's
happening
here,
but
we
are
giving
the
opportunity
for
the
down
payment
assistance
to
still
be
something
that
we
work
on
or
pledge
towards
as
a
future
in
the
next
couple
months.
We're
not
it's
not
disappearing.
I
guess
is
what
I
want
to
say
and
then,
if
you
just
saw
the
documents
it
would
seem
like
it
might
have
been
gone
yeah.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
we
this
one,
is
not
a
public
hearing,
so.
D
D
I've
got
it:
I
moved
to
approve
a
resolution
to
allocate
six
million
dollars
from
the
remaining
2016,
affordable
housing
bond
funds
to
the
Housing
Trust
Fund,
and
the
accompanying
budget
amendment
in
the
amount
of
six
million.
Does
that
work
for.
W
A
A
C
D
D
C
D
A
Okay,
we
we
have
five
folks,
the
fire
signed
up
to
speak
under
general
public
comment
and.
A
You
know
three
minutes
per
speaker,
please
watch
lights
and
the
buzzer
the
first
person
signed
up
to
speak
is
Robert
Lewis,
Hardy.
A
R
R
And
you
profess
to
be
about
the
people
when
speaking
for
people
who
can't
speak
for
themselves
now
in
reference
to
that
close,
the
gap
pose
one
question:
I
got
friends
on
Oakland
Road
too,
some
of
them.
We
don't
see
eye
to
eye,
but
it's
still,
my
friends
and
I
know
they
don't
want
to
give
up
their
land
winter
time
is
about
to
come.
Rain
is
about
to
come.
R
So
when
are
the
children
going
to
stop
having
to
walk
in
somebody's
mushy,
Mitty
wet
yard
and
wears
a
sidewalk
going
up
to
Asheville
High
as
for
high
graduates?
All
right?
So
that's
my
point
on
that.
The
other
point
is
I
sent
my
registered
mail
a
letter,
and
it
wasn't
meant
to
be
nice
because
it
was
meant
to
be
truthful
and
I
can
understand.
You
didn't
want
to
respond
to
response
would
be
really
political.
Suicide
I
didn't
mean
for
it
to
be
political
or
else
on
April.
R
The
1st
when
I
hit
it
notarized
I,
would
start
putting
it
out
in
the
public.
Then
mail
and
sent
my
money
and
some
letters,
I
sent
I
was
told.
Weren't
received
later
I'm
going
to
hand
it
to
you
again,
because
I'm
gonna
spread
my
wings
in
a
minute
I'll
make
it
public,
and
we
wanted
to
worry
about
that.
No
more
also,
the
letters
to
vice
mayor
and
councilman
Mosley
never
had
a
response
about
recognizing
Shirley
Hemphill.
R
I
might
as
well
add
at
this
particular
time
you
might
as
well
recognize
Eugene
Hammonds
as
being
the
longest
tenured
coach
in
Asheville.
Just
so
happened
to
be
these
African-American
as
well
also
a
reminder
that
suicides
for
adolescence
and
everything
is
going
up
in
the
crime
week,
so
I'm
going
to
allow
you
to
share
the
seeds
of
deprivation,
anguish
and
anxiety,
bear
strains
and
bloody
fruit.
R
F
Thank
you
again.
I
had
the
pleasure
last
Thursday
of
being
at
the
Thrive
Asheville
event
at
The,
Foundry,
hotel
and
I.
Think
some
of
you
were
there
as
well.
It
was
a
wonderful
occasion
and
in
a
conversation,
I
had
with
francina
Edmonds
talking
about
ways
to
incentivize
landlords
to
accept
Section,
8
vouchers
as
a
way
to
increase
affordable
housing
in
Asheville.
F
We
now
have
this
Housing
Trust,
Fund
money
and
I'm
wondering
if
one
of
the
ways
that
we
might
encourage
landlords
to
make
their
properties
available
for
Section
8
housing
is
to
assist
them
in
bringing
them
up
to
Section
8
habitability
code,
which
is
sometimes
a
barrier
for
those
landlords
who
have
perhaps
not
been
maintaining
their
property
to
the
standard
that
they
should
have.
This
would
give
us
an
opportunity
to
invest
in
existing
housing
stock,
bringing
it
up
to
a
better
level
with
the
Proviso
that
those
landlords
then
be
willing
to
accept
Section
8
vouchers.
F
This
seems
like
a
win
for
everybody.
More
people
get
Section
8
housing.
We
know
there's
a
long
list
of
people
whose
vouchers
expire
before
they're
able
to
use
them
because
landlords
won't
accept
them.
We
get
improved
housing
stock,
which
is
better
for
everybody
and
landlords
get
tenants
that
are
paid
automatically
every
month
with
them
not
having
to
worry
about
that
flow
of
income
seems
like
a
win
for
everybody.
I
offer
this
to
you
as
a
prospective
use
for
housing
trust
funds.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
T
Just
came
to
say,
you
know
bid
a
due
to
this
historic
city.
T
Council
Gwen
is
going
to
be
leaving
us,
and
you
know,
I
was
going
to
riff,
maybe
about
how
it
was
the
women
in
the
1930s
that
actually
pushed
for
the
greatest
disenfranchisement
of
the
black
community,
but
I'll
save
that
for
another
day,
because
that
history
is
not
going
anywhere
and
neither
am
I
so
I'll
be
here
along
with
hopefully
Esther
for
four
more
years,
I
find
myself
in
a
historic
place
too,
because
I
actually
support
all
of
the
incumbents,
genuinely
speaking,
which
is
an
odd
thing
for
me
and
I'll
miss
you.
T
C
G
T
Anyway,
I
was
reflecting
on.
You
know,
Gwen
and
I
entered
into
this
little
Endeavor
of
democracy
such
as
it
is
these
days
back
in
2013,
and
do
you
remember
what
the
tourism
Development
Authority
budget
was
back
then
yeah?
It
was
8
million,
286
thousand
four
hundred
dollars,
which
does
represent
yes,
450
percent
increase
over
nine
years
and
I'm.
Just
you
know,
I
mean
I
like
you.
T
A
whole
lot,
I'm
just
a
little
disappointed
that
that
wasn't
talked
about
more
by
this
Council
and
previous
councils,
because
the
fact
that
you
guys
can't
touch
it
and
it's
technically
not
your
problem
is
the
big
problem.
T
When
you
look
at
all
of
these
numbers
that
we've
seen
tonight,
you
know
a
five
percent
increase
in
sales
revenue,
growth
is
average
and
normal,
and
we
have
a
450
percent
increase
over
the
time
that
you
know
you
and
I
began
paying
attention
to
this
stuff,
and
we
weren't
really
talking
about
it
a
whole
lot
back
then
in
2013,
and
it's
really
changed
the
dynamic
of
this
community.
So,
there's
there's
that
of
course,
I'm
a
little
disappointed,
also
in
the
renewal
of
the
Jim
Crow
election
policy
and
your
silence
on
that.
T
But
you
know
you're
going
to
be
gone,
but
you're
going
to
have
more
time.
You
know
all
of
this
time
that
you're
freeing
up
and
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
all
the
brunches
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
have.
T
H
T
Say
I'm,
like
you
know,
all
of
that
kind
of
stuff.
I
just
wanted
to
have
some
fun
and
thank
you.
It's
been
a
pleasure
to
engage
with
this
historic
city
council
and
you
know
best
of
luck
to
everybody.
Councilwoman
Riding,
Hood
I,
like
your
outfit
I,
always
appreciate
that
you
didn't
show
any
Jealousy
on
towards
my
crush
on
Maggie.
You
know
and
that
you
didn't
show
any
sign
of
resentment
towards.
H
T
So
I
just
wanted
to
you
know,
have
some
I
didn't
do
a
big
big
send
off
to
you,
but
it's
been.
It's
been
interesting
to
sort
of
know
each
other
over
the
years
and
I'll
be

Here
to
present
an
American
Magna
Carta,
it's
a
it's
a
living
document
in
the
form
of
a
painting
and
what
this
painting
has
done.
It
has.
It
has
generated
a
conversation
around
organic
food
in
the
United
States,
specifically
we're
working
on
a
legislation
right
now
to
prohibit
artificial
growth
hormones
in
U.S
beef.

We've
started
our
work
at
Harvard
University,
and
then
we
have
another
movement
at
Clemson
University.
Last
week
we
proposed
we
actually
asked
for
support
from
Clemson
city
council
to
support
this
legislation,
there's
going
to
be
introduced
on
the
federal
level,
and
so
originally
the
painting
was
done
because
of
earthquake
Jerry
saltz's
post
on
social
media
to
generate
the
conversation
around
organic
food
in
the
U.S.
So
this
is
what
we
are
asking:
I
represent
Becca
museum.org,
it's
bka
museum.org,
and
this
is
what
we
do.

Good
news
is
I'm,
the
last
speaker
of
the
evening
right
so
Diana
Pierce

on
behalf
of
the
Asheville
pickleball
Association.
We
want
to
say
that
we're
grateful
to
city
council
for
our
support
for
your
support
of
our
ask
for
dedicated
pickleball
courts,
and
we
feel
that
Parks
and
Recreation
is
soon
to
come
to
a
decision
on
this
topic.

up
our

for
this
evening.

very
exciting.
We

session
and
we
are
going
to
hear
the
motion.
