present
and
then
I'm
here
to
help
with
questions
groovy.
D
I,
don't
know
I'm
gonna
be
on
Avenue
H.
Is
it.
E
F
A
A
We
have
12
members
of
the
board
present
for
this
public
hearing,
so
that
is
sufficient
to
get
started.
I
just
wanted
to
check
in
to
see
if
our
presenter
is
present.
B
Hanif
is
the
presenter
tonight
I
am
here
to
support.
He
said
he's
joining
now,
so
I
think
he'll
be
here
in
just
one.
Second,
I
am
gonna
share.
My
screen,
though
he
will
talk
and
I'll
share
my
screen,
so
I
could
do
that
now.
A
A
A
B
Yeah,
it's
just
over
10
minutes,
probably
12,
and
then
we
can
do
q,
a
okay.
A
If
you
want
yes,
no,
we
will
so
you
know
so
just
hang
tight.
Hopefully
it
won't
be
more
than
45
minutes.
I'll,
try
not
to
make
it
more
than
45
minutes.
We
have
a
lot
to
discuss
and
sort
of
try
to
get
things
together,
so
we
can
ratify
this
on
Monday.
So,
thanks
for
your
patience
and
I
can't
wait
to
see
the
presentation
about
Uma
Park.
K
L
J
Joanne,
do
you
actually
mind
if
I
do
a
quick
screen
share
test
as
well,
because
I'm
going
to
be
sharing
my
screen,
that'd.
E
A
J
You'll
all
see
this
first
Pages,
first
very
enticing
page
all
right,
cool.
A

E
N
A
Alrighty
we'll
get
started,
we

from
anyone.
That's
here
from
the
public
good
evening
for
those
of
you
who
are
here
for
the
community
environment,
cultural
Affairs
and
economic
development
committee
meeting
that
meeting
where
New
York
City
Parks
will
update,
update
us
on
the
capital
project
dream
imagining
in
the
park
will
start
immediately
after
this
public
hearing
and
so
be
it.
A
This
hearing
is
called
to
order
on
Thursday
June,
8th
2023
at
6
34
PM.
This
meeting
is
being
held
via
WebEx
as
per
New
York
State
legislation,
extending
virtual
access
to
public
meetings
under
the
New
York
State,
open
meeting
law,
which
allows
New
Yorkers
to
virtually
participate
in
local
government
meetings
during
an
emergency
executive
order.
The
purpose
of
this
hearing
is
to
invite
public
comments.
A
If
we
could
just
do
a
little
housekeeping
if
you're,
not
muted,
I
see
just
one
person
not
muted
great.
Thank
you
so
much.
The
purpose
of
this
public
hearing
is
to
buy
public
comments
on
the
proposed
zoning
text.
Amendment
referred
to
as
the
city
of
yes
for
carbon
neutrality
on
April
24
2023,
the
department
of
City
Planning
referred
out
the
city
of
yes
for
carbon
neutrality,
Citywide
zoning
text,
Amendment
n230113,
z-r-y,.
A
Ceqr
number
23,
DCP
135y,
beginning
the
public
review
process.
The
proposed
zoning
text
Amendment
intends
to
implement
changes
to
the
city's
zoning
resolution,
to
remove
impedements
to
and
expand
opportunities
for
decarbonization
products
within
all
zoning
districts
and
across
all
59
of
the
communities
of
the
City's
community
districts.
A
The
application
for
the
zoning
text,
amendment
n230113
z-r-y,
is
subject
to
community
Board
review.
However,
zoning
tax
amendments
are
not
subject
to
uniform
land
use
review
procedure.
The
department
of
sitting

hosted
a
fund
for
the
City
of
New
York's
planning,
fellow
Morgan
Ruther,
who
monitored
the
unfolding
of
the
proposal
and
studied
some
implications
as
they
relate
specifically
to
CD
14..
Those
findings
were
presented
at
the
housing
and
land
use
committee
meeting
on
May,

A
I
am
ready
to
hand
it
over
to
our
presenters.
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
here
and
we're
looking
forward
to
to
learning
a
little
bit
more
about
this
and
giving
you
our
feedback.
So
you
may
proceed
whenever
you'd
like
to.
M
Thank
you
so
much
Joanne
for
your
remarks.
Looking
forward
to
a
lively
conversation
this
evening
and
I,
thank
you
again
for
giving
us
the
opportunity
to
come
here
and
to
address
the
board
with
this
unique
and
and
very
interesting.
In
my
opinion
proposal
and
thanks
to
to
Emily,
also
for
being
here,
she's
a
senior
planner
with
Department
of
City
Planning,
we're
colleagues
here
and
she'll
be
helping
me
this
evening
answer
some
questions
that
I
won't
be
able
to
answer.
If
it
comes
to
that.
M
So
thank
you
again.
My
name
is
honey
fiasdi,
as
it
was
mentioned,
I'm
a
Borough
planner
here
at
the
department
of
City
Planning
with
our
Brooklyn
office,
I'm,
the
liaison
to
community
district
14
and
I'm
joined
as
I
mentioned
by
Emily.
Who
will
be
monitoring
the
chat
as
well
for
for
questions
and
can
answer
questions
at
the
end,
we'll
be
sharing
an
overview
of
the
city
of
yes
for
carbon
neutrality.
M
It
is
a
proposal
to
update
the
zoning
resolution
to
help
meet
New,
York,
City's
class
limit
goals
and,
let's
get
to
the
next
slide,
all
right.
So
the
city
of
yes
for
carbon
neutrality
is
the
first
of
three
projects
that
the
department
of
City
Planning
is
developing
as
part
of
a
broader
city
of
yes
initiative.
M
Two
other
proposals,
Economic
Opportunity
and
Housing
Opportunity-
will
begin
more
public
engagements
later
this
summer.
They
are
distinct
and
independent
proposals
which
are
being
staggered
the
rest
of
the
year
and
into
next
year.
Many
of
the
elements
of
the
carbon
neutrality
proposal
are
urgently
needed
during
this
time
and
they're,
aimed
at
delivering
zoning
relief
to
home
and
building
owners
who
are
trying
to
undertake
smart
retrofit
projects
to
cut
energy
costs
and
help
the
environment,
but
are
prevented
from
doing
so
by
the
zoning
and
that's
a
critical
piece
of
information
here.
M
First
I
want
to
take
a
minute
to
frame
our
conversation,
largely
it's
important
to
emphasize
that
we
are
facing
a
climate
emergency
in
this
time
and
that
climate
emergency
is
largely
driven
by
global
carbon
dioxide
emissions.
Carbon
dioxide
makes
up
the
vast
majority
of
the
country's
greenhouse
gas
emissions
around
80
percent
in
2019
in
2016.
The
world
Community
joined
together
to
sign
the
Paris
agreement.
That
was
a
vision
to
cut
human
greenhouse
gas
emissions
in
order
to
limit
overall
global
warming
by
2
degrees
Celsius
and
prevent
further
environmental.
O
M
We've
been
implementing
a
vision
here
in
New
York
City
that
really
focuses
on
the
kind
of
more
local
actions
that
we
can
take
and,
and
it
falls
under
that
larger
umbrella
of
achieving
carbon
neutrality,
and
that
goal
just
to
be
very
specific,
is
about
reducing
our
City's
emissions
80
by
2050
or
that
80
by
50
framework
or
series
of
goals.
M
So
what
do
we
mean
when
we
talk
about
a
carbon
neutral
City?
Well,
what
we
mean
is
a
city
where
we're
focused
on
reducing
operational
carbon
emissions.
That
means
we're
a
city
that
has
reduced
our
overall
energy
needs.
To
do
this,
we'll
need
to
retrofit
almost
every
building
in
the
city
to
become
highly
efficient
and
to
reduce
wasted
energy.
M
It's
a
city
where
we've
cleaned
the
grid
that
we're
using
now,
and
that
means
we'll
need
to
switch
from
fossil
fuels
to
Renewables
like
solar
and
wind,
and
it's
a
city
where
we've
electrified
all
our
remaining
energy
needs,
and
that
means
our
vehicles
too,
means
our
buildings.
It
means
moving
towards
electrically
powered
Technologies
and,
as
you
can
see
in
this
chart,
the
key
driver
of
our
City's
carbon
emissions
right
now
is
by
far
our
building
sector.
M
So
what
is
the
foundation
of
the
proposal
itself?
10
years
ago
in
2012
DCP
issued
zone
Green?
That
was
the
first
comprehensive
overhaul
of
our
zoning
to
allow
for
rooftop,
wind
and
solar.
Today's
carbon
neutrality
proposal
is
in
many
ways
a
follow-up
to
zone
Green,
it's
a
chance
to
revisit
older
rules
and
update
them
in
response
to
new
science,
technology
and
regulations.
Those
include
a
focus
on
decarbonization
coming
from
the
Paris
agreement
and
the
80
by
50
framework.
M
It
includes
feedback
from
Architects
engineers
and
Advocates,
including,
for
example,
Urban
green
Council
zone
Green
report,
and
it
includes
a
conversation
about
recent
regulations
again
climate,
the
climate
mobilization
act
at
the
city
level,
which
is
local
law
97,
which
many
of
you
have
heard
about
that
law,
which
is
separate
from
what
we're
talking
about
this
evening,
but
forms
important
context.
That
law
will
impose
strict
fines
on
large
buildings
that
do
not
reduce
their
carbon
emissions.
M
It
also
kind
of
is
informed
by
the
climate,
leadership
and
Community
protection
act,
which
happened
at
the
state
level
that
set
ambitious
solar
and
energy
storage
goals
for
the
city.
So
those
are
two
laws.
They
form
the
context
of
what
we're
talking
about
this
evening,
but
they
are
of
course
separate
from
the
proposed
resolution.
M
The
development
of
this
proposal
began
over
a
little
about
a
year
ago,
when
mayor
Adams
announced
his
vision
for
the
city
of
yes.
Since
then,
we've
conducted
extensive
Outreach
the
stakeholders
across
the
city
to
help
us
ensure
this
proposal
will
be
helpful
to
those
who
are
trying
to
add
solar,
EV,
Chargers
or
heat
pumps
to
their
homes
and
businesses.
M
M
The
first
key
goal
is
supporting
the
decarbonization
of
our
City's
energy
grid.
Illustrated
on
this
slide
are
initiatives
already
underway
at
the
state
or
city
level.
These
are
not
part
of
our
zoning
proposal,
but
they
are
the
context
in
which
our
work
is
situated
by
2040
New
York
state
is
legally
required
to
achieve
a
100
renewable
based
energy
grid,
which
means
developing
a
large
amount
of
offshore
wind
and
bringing
in
more
clean
hydroelectric
power
from
upstate,
New,
York
and
Canada.
M
It
also
includes
putting
all
of
our
rooftops
to
work
generating
electricity
across
the
city
to
utilize,
the
energy
from
offshore
wind
and
from
rooftop
solar.
Our
energy
grid
will
have
to
become
smarter,
more
decentralized
and
more
resilient
to
fluctuations
with
resources
spread
throughout
the
city.
To
support
this
cleaner
decentralized
grid,
we
will
need
more
local
energy
storage.
Essentially
we'll
need
large
batteries.
In
order
to
do
that,.
M
To
support
the
ongoing
work
of
cleaning
the
grid,
New
York
City
Zoning
can
help
in
five
key
areas.
The
first
is
rooftop
solar
itself.
Rooftop
zoning
allowances
can
be
modified
to
ensure
that
there
aren't
any
limitations
holding
us
back
from
our
solar
goals.
In
many
districts
there
are
current
limits
on
the
amount
of
rooftop
that
can
be
covered
by
solar
canopies.
This
proposal
will
update
rules
to
ensure
a
roof
can
be
completely
covered
by
solar.
The
second
address
is
parking.
M
We
need
to
take
a
similar
approach
to
our
City's
8,
000,
plus
acres
of
open
parking
areas
to
ensure
that
zoning
is
updated
to
always
allow
solar
canopies
over
parking
lots
where
they
exist.
The
third
is
around
Community
solar.
Where
one
site
is
generating
clean
energy,
that's
used
throughout
the
neighborhood.
It
is
currently
considered
a
commercial
use
in
our
zoning,
which
limits
where
it
can
be
installed.
M
This
proposal
will
allow
Community
solar
to
be
installed
in
all
zoning
districts,
including
large
residential
campuses,
hospitals,
schools
and
colleges
in
residential
districts,
where
it
could
be
a
great
fit.
The
fourth
is
around
energy
storage.
We
will
need
to
ensure
that
safe,
and
this
is
critical,
safe,
FDNY
and
dob
reviewed
energy
storage
facilities
are
located
where
they
are
needed.
Most
energy
storage
is
currently
not
allowed
in
the
residential
districts
where
people
need
access
to
clean
and
renewable
energy.
M
Zoning
needs
to
be
updated
to
add
specific
rules
for
energy
storage
and
help
facilitate
its
rollout
across
the
city
and,
finally,
we'll
talk
about
onshore
wind
turbines
that
currently
face
strict
limitations
in
today's
zoning.
This
proposal
will
create
a
new
tool
that
can
be
used
by
Future
applicants
to
submit
onshore
win
facilities
for
a
public
review.
They'll
still
need
public
review
and
that
public
review
process
will
take
place
with
the
City
Planning
Commission.
M
The
second
goal-
we're
seeking
to
support,
relates
to
eliminating
fossil
fuels
from
our
City's
million
plus
existing
buildings,
almost
all
of
which
will
be
around
in
2050
when
we
need
to
have
achieved
carbon
neutrality.
According
to
those
regulations
that
I
mentioned
earlier,
these
buildings
are,
by
far
our
biggest
source
of
carbon
dioxide
emissions
and
to
improve
we'll
need
to
retrofit
virtually
every
single
building
to
retire
oil
or
gas,
powered
furnaces
and
boilers,
replace
them
with
new,
highly
efficient
electrical
systems
and
improve
the
efficiency
of
exterior
walls,
windows
and
roofs.
M
To
keep
the
heat
and
cool
inside.
It's
important
to
note
two
laws
adopted
by
the
city
council
in
2019
and
2021
that
are
crucial
here
for
large
buildings,
which
are
defined
as
buildings
over
25
000
square
feet
and
larger
local
law.
97
will
begin
to
impose
fines
if
they
do
not
cut
their
carbon
emissions.
Fines
will
begin
to
roll
out
in
2024
and
they
will
increase
through
2050.
M
again,
that's
a
rule
that
is
separate
from
what
we're
talking
about
this
evening,
but
it's
an
important
piece
of
legislation
to
be
mindful
of
the
second
is
the
local
law
154,
which
requires
that
all
newly
constructed
buildings
are
electrified
from
the
get-go
fossil
fuel
based
equipment
will
no
longer
be
allowed
in
new
construction.
According
to
that
separate
local
law.
M
With
this
in
context,
zoning
can
help
support
the
decarbonization
of
buildings
in
three
key
ways.
The
first
is
electrification
retrofits,
so
zoning
can
provide
more
flexibility
to
accommodate
the
increasing
need
for
outdoor
equipment,
such
as
heat
pumps,
which
cannot
be
located
in
building
basements
or
sellers
to
be
located
above
the
zoning
height
limit
on
building
rooftops.
M
So
that's
one
of
the
updates
that
will
happen.
Finally,
a
word
on
funding
with
regards
to
costs
and
implementation
of
these
retrofits.
Many
funding
sources
at
the
federal
state
and
city
level
will
be
available.
The
New,
York
City
accelerator
is
itself
a
program
run
out
of
the
mayor's
office
of
climate
and
environmental
justice
that
helps
connect
Property
Owners
with
the
technical
and
financial
support
to
make
the
changes
that
will
be
needed.
M
The
third
goal
we're
seeking
to
support
with
this
zoning
resolution
is
around
the
decarbonization
of
vehicles.
There
are
currently
two
million
private
Vehicles
registered
in
New
York
City,
less
than
one
percent
of
those
private
vehicles
are
zero
emission
by
2035
New
York
State
policy
has
indicated
that
all
new
vehicles
sold
in
the
state
will
need
to
be
zero
emission
and
we
as
a
city,
need
to
prepare
for
that
future.
M
There
are
federal
and
state
initiatives
to
help
vehicle
owners
make
the
switch
to
Electric,
but
at
the
local
level,
zoning
regulates
private
parking
and
charging
facilities
and
needs
to
be
updated
to
help
New
Yorkers
make
the
switch.
Finally,
this
proposal
also
aims
to
support
alternate
modes
such
as
bicycle,
scooter
or
mass
transit.
M
M
The
second
is
around
allowing
building
owners
to
designate
a
portion
of
their
existing
parking
spaces
to
be
offered
up
as
public
EV
charging
sharing
AV
charger
sharing
spaces.
The
same
rules
that
currently
apply
today
for
car
sharing
vehicles
in
existing
parking
garages
or
Lots.
The
third
is
around
flexible
parking.
We
want
to
allow
more
flexible
use
of
public
parking
lots,
public
parking
garages
and
Commercial
accessory
parking
facilities
by
allowing
car
rental
car
sharing
commercial
vehicle
storage
and
public
EV
charging
Within
These
facilities
too.
M
The
fourth
is
around
automated
parking.
We
want
to
expand
special
rules
that
only
apply
in
Manhattan
today
that
allow
for
indoor
automated
parking
facilities
to
be
an
option
across
the
city.
Finally,
we
want
to
update
parking
rules
to
acknowledge
the
need
for
public
bicycle
parking
and
allow
bike
parking
facilities
in
commercial
districts
where
they're
currently
not
allowed.
M
Finally,
our
last
goal
relates
to
reducing
our
City's
storm
water
and
solid
waste
and
helping
eliminate
the
carbon
emissions
associated.
With
both
of
these
waste
streams,
we
can
reduce
storm
water
runoff
by
promoting
greater
permeability
on
site.
This
means
less
water
flowing
to
energy
intensive
treatment
plants.
We
can
reduce
the
energy
associated
with
hauling
and
processing
garbage
by
reducing
the
amount
by
up
to
45
percent
of
our
waste
stream.
45
of
our
waste
stream
right
now
is
organic
material
that
shouldn't
go
to
a
landfill
and
can
be
reused
within
the
city.
M
Within
this
context,
zoning
can
help
decarbonize
our
waste
stream
in
four
key
ways.
First,
we're
going
to
talk
about
permeable
pavers,
those
clarify
we
want
to
clarify
zoning
rules,
zoning's
Paving
rules
to
ensure
that
permeable
Paving,
which
allows
water
to
infiltrate
into
the
soil
right
where
it
falls,
is
always
allowed.
It's
currently
not
allowed
in
many
places.
M
The
zoning
resolution
today
does
not
reference
or
account
for
composting
or
recycling.
We
are
looking
to
add
specific
rules
clarifying
where
these
uses
are
allowed
to
help
these
sectors
grow.
Finally,
around
the
question
of
rooftop
gardens.
Rooftop
greenhouses
are
allowed
on
top
of
non-residential
buildings,
but
to
build
one.
Current
rules
require
you
to
obtain
a
certification
from
the
chair
of
the
City
Planning
Commission.
By
streamlining
this
requirement,
we
will
allow
dob
to
review
applications
for
building
permits
and
cut
costs
and
simplify
the
process
for
those
looking
to
grow
food
on
rooftops.
M
M
A
Thank
you
very
much
for
that
presentation,
since
we
have
no
registered
speakers.
I'd
also
like
to
make
sure
that
if
there
are
members
of
the
public
here
that
like
to
speak,
please
raise
your
hand
and
I
will
call
on
you
and
I'll
begin
with
board
members
since
those
the
hands
that
I'm
seeing
right
now,
we'll
start
with
board
member
Ed
Powell.
O
Thank
you.
It's
well.
These
slides
be
available
for
review
at
any
point
later
on
a
website
or
anywhere.
M
Yes,
it's
my
understanding,
they
will
be,
and
we
most
likely
will
be
able
to
send
a
copy
to
the
board
for
review
as
well.
Is
that
correct,
Emily.
B
We
can
send
we
will
send
all
of
these
slides
in
addition
to
more
detailed,
slides
that
break
down
the
specifics
of
each
proposal.
In
this
presentation
we
fit
like
between
three
and
five
of
the
17
individual
proposals
per
proposal
side.
So
we'll
give
you
an
even
more
detailed
version
in
presentation
to
view
excellent.
E
A
You
I'm
happy
to
hear
that
there's
163
pages
to
the
zoning
text
and
there's
a
lot
to
go
through
so
a
little
more
detail
would
be
very
useful.
I
appreciate
it
next
to
speak
will
be
board
member
Nina,
sebier.
P
Hi
good
evening,
thank
you
good
to
hear
that
there's
some
work
being
done
to
deal
with
well,
what
we're
getting
from
Canada
is
a
tip
of
the
iceberg,
so
I
have
actually
a
number
of
questions.
P
P
P
So
that's
question
number
one
question
number
two
is
again:
this
pertains,
I,
guess
more
to
private
homeowners,
but
for
for
many
people
who
lived
in
these
much
older
homes,
these
hundred
year
old
houses
and
so
forth,
getting
the
kind
of
electricity,
in
other
words
220
240
to
you
know,
be
able
to
use
things
like
say.
Making
the
switch
from
gas
stoves
to
Electric
is
prohibitive,
I
mean
I
priced
it
for
my
own
home
and
it's
like
upwards
of
three
thousand
dollars.
P
So
no
sticking
with
the
gas
stoves
for
now,
because
what
else
am
I
going
to
do
and
then
the
the
third
thing,
which
is
kind
of
more
I,
guess
a
point
of
interest.
When
you
were
talking
about
the
bicycle
parking
and
making
you
know
bicycling
easier
for
people
to
do.
P
One
big
barrier
for
many
people
is
having
a
place
to
safely,
keep
their
bicycles
say
when
they're
at
work,
I
carry
10
pounds
or
so
of
locks
with
me,
and
one
has
an
alarm
and
somebody
tampered
with
my
bicycle
and
the
security
came
out
was
like
you
know,
but
that's
like
crazy,
and
there
is
somebody
here
in
New
York
at
the
Brooklyn
who,
through
the
Brooklyn
Navy
Yard,
developed
a
system
of
pods
that
are
solar
powered.
P
P
You
know
just
you
know,
shopping
areas,
Etc
and
they
come
in
all
different
sizes,
so
they
they
can
be
made
to
accommodate
the
space
at
hand.
Thank
you.
M
I
can
answer
the
questions
as
they
come
in
or
wait
for
multiple
inquiries.
I
can
okay.
So
on
the
thank
you
very
much
for
your
questions.
These
are
really
helpful
in
shaping
kind
of
our
conversation
this
evening.
So
the
first
is
around
the
cost
of
a
lot
of
these,
the
implementation
of
some
of
these
Technologies.
M
So
there
are
financial
resources
available
to
New
Yorkers,
who
want
to
make
the
switch
that
is
mandated
by
the
local
laws
that
I
mentioned
earlier
and
by
those
state
regulations
and
some
of
those
other
local
laws.
M
I
can't
speak
too
much
to
those
because
that's
not
the
subject
of
this
zoning
resolution,
but
what
this
one
does
is.
It
will
give
permission
to
a
building
owner,
for
example,
to
install
rooftop
solar
where
currently,
that
is
forbidden
or,
for
example,
if
there
is
a
parking
of
those
eight
thousand
acres
of
of
Park
surface
parking.
M
You
know
those
can
now
be
used
to
generate
electricity.
Now
we
can't
guarantee
that
those
will
result
in
savings
that
are
passed
on
to
tenants
or
or
other
users
of
electricity,
but
right
now
the
the
cost
of
implementing
something
like
that
is
going
to
be
something
that
a
building
owner,
for
example,
will
have
to
pay
for
themselves
or
use
some
of
the
funding
available.
In
order
to
implement
some
of
these
programs
and
they
can
actually
generate,
they
can
sell
that
electricity
back
to
the
grid.
M
So
that
can
be
something
that
is
a
source
of
of
revenue.
For
somebody
who
implements
one
of
these
solar
arrays
and
sells
that
electricity
back
to
the
grid.
M
On
the
question
of
people
in
older
homes
that,
where
it's
expensive
to
make
the
change
again,
Emily
posted
a
really
helpful
Link
in
the
chat.
So
that's
really
in
order
to
help
folks
make
those
changes
in
line
with
the
local
laws
that
are
coming
out
of
city
council,
so
we're
hoping
that
people
are
able
to
do
that.
M
The
bicycle
parking
piece
is
is
very
interesting.
I
haven't
heard
anything
about
the
unipods
or
or
similar
things
like
that
bike
parking
infrastructure
before,
but
certainly
allowing
that
bicycle
parking
in
commercial
areas
where
it's
currently
not
allowed
will
result
in
more
biking.
You
know
bike
parking
infrastructure
now,
whether
that
is
the
kind
of
secure
parking
bike
parking
infrastructure
that
you're
mentioning
or
not.
That's
an
interesting
question.
It's
one
worth
talking
about.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
I
I
wanted
to
just
jump
in
here
about
the
financing
as
well.
A
I
made
a
statement
at
Borough
board
when
we
had
our
presentation
earlier
and
is
remaining
to
the
conversation
that
we're
having
right
now,
just
just
to
bring
up
a
local
law
97,
that's
in
effect
a
25
000
square
foot,
building,
isn't
very
large
and
when
you
look
at
it
from
the
perspective
of
micro
homeowners,
let's
talk
about
condo
owners
or
Co-op
owners
to
to
go
ahead,
and
you
know
meet
that
local
law
there's
a
tremendous
expense
and
with
regards
to
Condominiums
we're
not
eligible
for
financing,
because
in
people
who
own
Condominiums
are
not
eligible
for
financing,
the
the
property
is
owned
by
the
the
dean
owners.
A
So
there
is
no
property
to
be
financed
as
a
corporation
and
I.
Think.
Nina
brings
up
a
very
good
point
that
if
the
building
is
owned
by
a
landlord
who
has
rental
units,
every
major
Capital
Improvement
is
going
to
come
with
a
40.
You
know
a
140th
cost
added
to
the
rent
every
year.
So
my
my
big
point
that
I
made
at
Borough
board
was.
It
seems
that
DCP
is
kind
of
siled
in
their
thinking,
there's
a
there's,
a
proportion
of
aspirational
and
then
practical
right.
So
we
need
we
need
more
support.
A
With
regards
to,
when
DCP
looks
at
the
zoning
text
amendments,
they
say
what
is
the
practicality
of
doing
that?
How
can
we
coordinate
with
the
Department
of
Finance
and
perhaps
create
tax
abatements
for
landlords
or
micro,
homeowners
or
small
homeowners?
One
two
three
family
that
gives
them
the
opportunity
to
offset
property
taxes
with
making
these
changes
to
come
into
into
compliance.
A
I
just
wanted
to
state
that
and
you've
already.
You
know.
Let
us
know
what
you
know,
what
the
resources
are
most
of
us,
or
some
of
us
know
what
the
resources
are:
they're,
both
federal
state
and
the
city,
but
I
wanted
to
make
that
point
here
for
the
record,
because
this
is
what
I
said
at
borrow
board.
A
Thank
you.
I'll,
move
on
to
the
next
board
member
who
is
Crown
Henry
Cesar.
L
Hey
folks,
good
evening,
happy
Thursday,
hope
everyone
is
remaining
safe
and
so
hanith.
Thank
you
very
much
for
that
presentation
and
so
I
have
a
piggyback
question
off
of
financing
and
then
I
have
another
question
about
I
started.
Reading
the
zoning
text
Amendment-
and
you
know
it's
a
question
about
like
the
10
000
square
feet
for
the
electrical
infrastructure,
equipment,
I
believe.
But
basically,
my
question
for
the
financing
is
similar,
where
it's
just.
L
There
is
a
portion
of
the
presentation
where
it
mentioned
the
goal
by
2040
to
have
100
of
the
energy
be
renewable,
and
then
there
was
also
the
statement
that
it
is
mandated
for
New
York
State
policy,
that
by
x-year
people
need
to
have
electric
vehicles
and
so
similar
financing
question
just
wondering.
Is
there
going
to
be
any
sort
of
subsidizing
or
any
sort
of
other?
You
know
financing
vehicles
that
will
be
considered
for
that
stuff.
Just
because
things
are
expensive,
they're
getting
more
expensive
and
just
figuring
out.
L
You
know
the
distribution
of
people
who
will
be
able
to
directly
afford
that
out
of
pocket
versus
not
that's,
definitely
going
to
be
a
challenge.
So
that's.
That's
a
point
for
consideration
and
then
the
second
question
I
had
to
is
I
could
use
some
help
in
terms
of
understanding
the
part
that
I
read
about
the
10
000
square
feet
for
the
electrical
infrastructure
equipment,
just
because
what
I
was
trying
to
understand
is
basically
the
thought
exercises
thing
in
my
head
is
okay:
I
live
in
Brooklyn
community
board
14..
L
If
there's
a
lot,
that's
9
900
square
feet,
and
somebody
wants
to
use
it
for
a
parking
lot,
but
then
some,
but
then
person
B,
says
no
I
want
to
put
in
solar
panels.
Is
this
saying
that
the
solar
panels
would
take
priority
over
the
parking
lot?
Like
that's,
the
kind
of
thing
I
was
trying
to
figure
out
in
my
head
and
I
didn't
even
know
if
I
was
looking
at
it
the
right
way.
So
those
are
my
questions.
Thank
you.
M
I
will
attempt
to
answer
this
one
but
I'll
pass
it
on
to
to
my
colleague
it's
my
understanding
that
so,
according
to
the
zoning
resolution
now,
the
solar
arrays
are
not
allowed
in
in
in
a
lot
of
surface
parking
areas,
so
this
proposal
will
reclassify
those
solar
arrays
and
they
would
legalize
them
for
up
to
ten
thousand
feet
in
residential
districts.
As
of
right
did.
I
did
I
hit
that
right,
Emily,
if
you
want
to
step
in,
but
it's
my
understanding
that
yeah
yeah.
B
That's
that's
pretty
much
it
it's
it
wouldn't
be.
This
change
wouldn't
wouldn't
be
like
it
should
be
solar
over
parking.
It's
not
like
that
at
all.
It's
it's
about
tweaking,
making
sure
that
solar
canopies
are
a
permitted
obstruction
in
a
parking
lot,
regardless
of
zoning
districts.
So
that's
the
change
and
I
and
I
do
want
to
highlight
I'll
put
it
in
the
chat
too.
But
one
thing
that's
super
helpful.
B
If
you
want
to
dig
deep
into
these
proposals,
in
addition
to
the
longer
presentation
that
we'll
send
is
the
annotated
zoning
text
where,
in
addition
to
seeing
the
line
by
line
changes,
there
are
comments
from
our
zoning
division.
That
explain
like
exactly
what's
happening
like
what
that
change
means.
B
Just
around
the
cost
questions
we
hear
you
loud
and
clear,
I
will
say
like,
and
this
is
kind
of
a
bureaucratic
answer.
I'll
be
honest,
but
the
department
of
City
Planning
is
our
jurisdiction.
Is
zoning,
so
we
are
limited
to
like
what
are
the
rules
about
what
can
happen
on
a
zoning
lot,
which
is
essentially
a
tax
lot?
It
doesn't
include
streets
and
sidewalks.
So
that's
why
we're
not
including
things
like
unipods,
that's
in
Department
of
transportation's
jurisdiction
and
then
around
financing.
That's
that's
really
a
legislative
question.
B
So
most
of
our
goal
with
this
proposal
is
to
look
at.
Where
is
the
New
York
City
Zoning
resolution,
currently
limiting
people's
ability
to
make
these
types
of
green
changes?
It
is
not
inclusive
of
funding,
so
we
are
really
happy
to
talk
about
what
funding
exists,
but
a
lot
of
that
is
really
out
of
our
jurisdiction.
B
So
we
hear
you
loud
and
clear.
It's
also
definitely
something
that
is
a
continued
conversation
in
the
in
City
Hall
and
with
city
council
and
at
every
level
of
government
and
needs
to
be
yeah.
L
L
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Next
speaker
will
be
Julian
Josephs,
followed
by
manager,
Sean
Campbell.
I
I
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
I
guess
I'll
piggyback
on
something
that
Carl
mentioned
about,
and
my
question
was
around
this:
whether
or
not
there
was
a
cross-agency
task
force
of
some
sort
that
was
being
developed
in
anticipation
of
these
zoning
zoning
text,
amendments
being
ratified
by
by
the
city,
because
you
know
often
what
happens
is
these?
You
know
initiatives
happen
and
then
the
rollout
becomes
really
clumsy
and
cumbersome
and
as
you
can
already
see
there,
there
are
a
lot
of
questions
around
financing.
I
We
are
a
district
that
is
heavy
with
you
know
single
family
homes,
a
few
multifamily
dwellings.
You
know
Sean
always
mentions
how
much
like
I
think
Sean.
What
you
say
is
70
of
our
district
is,
is
the
land
use
is
single-family
homes,
whereas
30
is
the
buildings
and
it's
the
reverse
of
the
population,
so
I
I
would
just
encourage
you
or
just
recommend
that
you
all
really
try
to
facilitate
ahead
of
time,
anticipating
that
these
amendments
will
be
ratified.
I
B
Definitely
so
we
we're
in
pretty
constant
communication
with
the
Mayor's
Office
of
Environmental
climate
and
environmental
justice,
who
manages
the
New
York
City
accelerator
page,
which
is,
is
a
comprehensive
review
of
all
funding
options
available.
B
I
also
want
to
note,
because
you,
you
pointed
out
the
high
proportion
of
single-family
homes
in
the
district
that
local
law
97,
so
the
the
law
passed
by
City
Council
in
2019
that
mandates
building
retrofits
for
buildings
over
25
000
square
feet
that
does
not
apply
to
buildings
under
25
000
square
feet
so
right
now
there
is
not
any
kind
of
mandate
for
single-family
homes
and
and
for
the
majority
of
one
to
four
family
homes
to
make
these
kinds
of
changes.
B
So
when
we
talk
about
things
like
solar
or
building
efficiency
in
that
type
of
building,
it
is
purely
optional,
and
our
proposal
is
all
about
making
those
things
an
option
for
people,
but
there's
not
currently
any
kind
of
mandate
or
anything
that
would
that
would
force
a
single
family,
homeowner
or
the
owner
of
a
smaller
building
of
any
type
to
make
those
types
of
changes.
I
That's
great
to
hear,
but
just
as
Nina
my
colleague
mentioned
and
also
Joanne,
the
condo
owners,
you
know,
and
the
single
family
owner
want
to
engage
and
participate
in
these.
These
these
initiatives
as
well,
and
it's
it's
not
a
bad
thing-
that
they
do
it
so
I
think
you
should
look
at
ways
to
incentivize
them.
Even
though
it's
not
mandatory,
there
should
be
someone
looking
at
ways
that
encourage
or
incentivize
those
homeowners
to
want
to
participate
in
the
program.
A
C
Thanks
I
I
sort
of
have
some
concerns
about
the
balance
between
what
still
seems
to
be
aspirational
and
undeveloped
in
this
proposal.
C
There's
language
about
what
DCP
wants
to
do
and-
and
one
of
the
things
you
want
to
do
in
some
places-
is
ADD
rules,
but
the
rules
haven't
been
articulated
and
so
I,
don't
in
terms
of
commenting
to
have
a
board
comment
on
something
that
might
not
be
fully
realized,
seems
a
little
premature,
I,
I,
think
where,
where
I
see
that
in
Practical
matters
is
the
discussion
about
local
storage,
local
energy
storage,
making
that
as
of
right,
but
doing
it
safely
according
to
dob
and
FDNY
guidelines.
C
But
if
there's
going
to
be
such
broad
guidelines
to
make
it
as
of
right
in
every
single
space,
I
I
just
feel
like
that
might
be
a
place
where
additional
review
on
on,
if
not
a
case-by-case,
then
area
by
area
basis
might
still
be
necessary.
C
I
think
another
place
where
I
I
haven't
seen
how
the
Practical
implication
would
would
affect
our
district
is
when
you
talk
about
storm,
water
and
and
and
flooding
issues,
we
we
have
a
number
of
chronic
locations
in
the
district
and
I.
Don't
know
to
what
extent
this
text
Amendment
would
prioritize
locations
where
that's
happening
and
to
what
extent
it
would
interact
with
dep
programs
or
policies
that
are
also
put
in
place.
C
So
again,
it
goes
back
to
concerns
about
silos
and
then
even
where
solar
would
be
would
be
optional,
but
made
possible.
I,
don't
know
if
in
in
historic
districts,
LCP
would
do
a
sorry.
Lpc
would
do
a
certificate
of
appropriateness
that
would
pertain
to
the
entire
District
or
if
it
would
still
have
to
be
a
Home
by
home
basis.
So
I
think
those
are
a
lot
of
the
details
that
when
we
look
through
the
lens
of
this
particular
District
would
need
to
be
understood
before
a
board
could
make.
C
You
know
an
informed
comment.
So
that
brings
me
to
the
last
thing:
I
promise,
which
is
given
all
of
that
and
the
fact
that
you're
going
to
give
us
a
much
bigger
Deck
with
specifics,
but
our
last
meeting
of
the
of
our
season
is
on
next
Monday
you
July
3rd,
is
what
our
deadline
is
supposed
to
be.
But
you
also
said
your
public
hearing
is
June
and
we
really
have
till
September.
So
will
the
real
deadline?
Please
stand
up
thanks.
B
I
think
I
first
just
want
to
address
like
yes,
it's
17
proposals.
We
gave
a
very
broad
overview
of
them
in
this
presentation.
B
We
have
had
we've
given
and
have
posted
online,
much
more
in-depth
presentations
which
I
can
put
in
the
chat
as
well
in
public
in
public
meetings
since
last
October.
So
I
I
do
understand
that
it
it
could
be
overwhelming
if
it's
the
first
time
you're,
seeing
it
and
I'm
sorry,
if
it's
the
first
time
you're
seeing
it
for.
B
B
The
vote
is
September
13th,
so
community
board
resolutions,
that's
the
real,
the
real
final
due
date
for
that,
after
that
it
goes
to
city
council.
So
there's
still
a
chance
to
make
sure
your
City
council.
Member
knows
how
you
feel
with
the
energy
storage
systems.
B
I
want
to
clarify
a
couple
things
about
what
the
proposal
is,
because
we
really
gave
a
pretty
broad
overview
right
now.
The
zoning
resolution
doesn't
have
clear
regulations
around
energy
storage
systems.
This
is
building
scale
batteries,
basically
and
so
by
interpretation.
They're,
currently
qualifying
as
electric
utility
substations
much
larger
different
pieces
of
infrastructure,
and
they
are
required
to
obtain
a
BSA
special
permit
to
locate
in
Residence
districts.
B
They
are
currently
allowed
in
commercial
and
Manufacturing
districts,
and
there
are
examples
of
them
on
the
roof
of
Barclays,
on
the
roof
of
the
TWA
flight
center
and
on
the
roof
of
Marcus
Garvey
houses
in
Brooklyn.
B
So
they
exist
when
they're
in
Residence
districts
today,
it's
because
they
got
a
BSA
special
permit
and
the
proposal
is
to
make
smaller
versions
of
them
under
10
000
square
feet
permitted
as
of
right
in
Residence
districts,
so
they
wouldn't
go
through
the
board
of
centers
and
appeals,
but
they
would
still
have
to
get
an
FDNY
letter
of
approval
and
Department
of
buildings
permits
to
install
and
then
for
larger
installations
over
10
000
square
feet.
B
In
addition
to
the
existing
FDNY
and
dob
review,
they
would
also
still
have
to
come
for
a
BSA
permit
the
board
of
standards
and
appeals.
So
that's
that's.
Those
are
the
specifics
of
that
proposal
for
the
tree
bed
proposal.
B
The
question
is
about:
does
it?
Is
there
anything
to
incentivize
more
green
infrastructure
in
neighborhoods,
where
flooding
is
an
issue?
This
proposal
is
really
taking.
What
is
a
very
narrow
requirement
for
developers
to
build
tree
beds
when
they
build
a
new
building
and
expanding
the
universe
of
things
that
they
can
that
they
can
consider
a
tree
bed
to
include
rain
Gardens
and
extended
connected
tree
pits?
So
it's
it's
not
addressing
your
question,
and
that
is
a
dep
question.
B
B
A
Thank
you
very
much.
It
is
7
20.
I'm,
going
to
close
this
public
hearing
at
7
30,
because
we
have
a
committee
meeting
thereafter,
so
I'm
gonna
leave.
So
we
have
two
hands
up.
Please
be
very
brief
30
seconds
and
please
have
the
answers
be
as
brief
as
possible,
so
that
we
can
get
to
discussing
how
we
want
to
proceed
with
bringing
this
to
the
full
board.
The
first
person
is
Florencia.
The
last
person
is
Barton.
Please
be
brief.
N
Yeah
I
just
wanted
to
know
what
are
this
if
you
have
specific
locations
in
mind
for
the
storage
facilities,
the
energy
storage
facilities
for
our
community.
M
Well,
they
would
be
allowed
as
of
right
on
the
buildings
that
that
qualify,
so
those
those
ten
thousand
foot
so
the
buildings
in
residential
areas
where
they're.
Currently
they
need
BSA
approval,
they
would
be
allowed
kind
of
on
buildings.
Without
that
BSA
approval,
they
would
need
just
FDNY
write-off
sign
off
and
DOB
sign-offs.
A
Q
You
I
guess
I've
said
this
before,
but
I'm
just
you
know,
mind
find
mind-boggling
the
number
of
proposals
and
the
depth
of
the
changes
that
you
are
requesting
and
I.
Don't
think,
there's
any
way
you
know
as
hard
and
as
honestly
as
you
may
have
tried
that
you
could
foresee
any
range
of
unforeseen
consequences
for
even
one
of
the
tiniest
little
changes,
you're
making
and
so
in
all
honesty.
Q
I
would
feel
uncomfortable
voting
in
favor
of
it
because
then
I
would
be
signing
on
to
whatever
these
unforeseen
consequences
are
because
I
think
that
the
scale
of
the
changes
you're
suggesting
would
take
a
year,
for
you
know
a
solid
staff
to
consider
and
for
us
as
50
you
know,
volunteers
from
the
community,
we
would
be,
you
know,
foolish
to
even
sign
off
on
it
given
two
years
to
study
it.
So
that's
my
comment.
Thanks.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Let's,
let's
move
into
a
discussion
on
how
the
board
members
and
attendance
here
would
like
to
proceed
in
their
recommendation
to
the
full
board
on
Monday
I,
think
board.
Member
passant
brings
up
a
compelling
consideration
that
an
annotated
I've
looked
through
the
annotated
version
of
the
163
pages
of
the
zoning
text
and
and
it's
a
lot
to
go
to
and
and
refer
to
you
know.
A
The
double
is
in
the
details:
I
had
a
question
about
you
know
wind
towers
and
where
they're
going
to
be
allowed-
and
you
know,
and
the
height
they're
going
to
be
allowed
and
I
know,
that's
a
concern
in
a
neighboring
Community
boards,
so
I'm
willing
to
open
the
discussion
on
how
other
board
members
feel
about
making
a
recommendation
not
making
a
recommendation
tabling
this
board
member
Glenn
Wallen.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you
very
much.
My
mind
is
going
in
a
number
of
different
directions.
At
the
same
time
here
on
one
hand,
as
Sean
has
pointed
out,
70
of
our
neighborhood
is
smaller
one
family
homes,
which
means
that
I,
don't
think
any
of
these
are
going
to
affect
that
70
percent,
which
concerns
me
in
that
I
think
that
it
is
a
climate
crisis
and
we
need
to
address
it
and
that
the
city
is
attempting
to
address
it.
D
I
think
is
a
really
important
thing
and
I,
don't
think
they're
going
nearly
far
enough
if
they're,
allowing
so
many
homes-
and
there
are
many
many
other
neighborhoods
around
the
city
outside
of
Manhattan
that
are
similar
to
to
ours.
So
that's
a
major
concern
that
it's
not
going
far
enough.
D
Yes,
they're
absolutely
guaranteed
to
have
unintended
consequences
any
time,
A
Change,
Is
Made.
There
are
always
winners
and
losers,
always
I,
don't
think,
there's
ever
an
exception
to
that.
Nevertheless,
I
would
tend
to
want
to
move
ahead
with
this,
because
we're
already
way
behind
the
curve.
D
This
brown
Orange
Sky
we
had
yesterday
is
going
to
happen
more
frequently
as
global
warming
continues
and
more
and
more
of
Canada
dries
out
due
to
the
heat
we're
going
to
have
to
contend
with
that.
There's
going
to
be
many,
many
other
things
along
with
that,
and
we
need
to
move
ahead
as
fast
as
possible
towards
carbon
neutrality,
so
I'm
opting
with
reservations,
but
for
approving
this.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
going
forward
if
we
can
just
make
our
comments
a
little
briefer
next
person
to
offer
their
opinion
on
how
to
proceed
with
their
recommendation
will
be
a
board
member
felicities.
R
Hi,
thank
you.
I
I
agree
that
I
think
that
we
really
need
to
badly
start
working
towards
carbon
neutrality,
so
I'm
in
favor
of
this
and,
of
course,
I
expect
that
DCP
will
continue
to
iterate.
You
know
one
if
these
changes
go
forward,
which
I
hope
they
will
on
improving.
You
know
around
the
edges
of
things
that
don't
quite
get
caught
right.
A
Thank
you.
Next
comments
will
be
from
board
member
Gregory
Alvarez.
S
Thank
you
yeah,
and
thanks
to
everybody
for
the
discussion,
it
definitely
hit
a
lot
of
the
points
I
had
as
well.
For
me,
I
think
in
terms
of
a
recommendation.
I
would
just
say
if
the
DCP
is
is
indeed
siled
in
terms
of
their
focus
on
the
overall
question
and
addressing
climate
change.
S
The
only
thing
I
would
ask
would
be
that
there
would
be
a
a
more
balanced
analysis
in
terms
of
what
those
externalities
that
we've
been
talking
about
would
be
from
a
land
use
perspective
if
that's
the
charge
of
DCP.
That
would
be
what
I
would
ask
for
here,
just
just
to
make
sure
that
that
the
considerations,
at
least
from
that
perspective,
are
part
of
these
text
amendments.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
I
see
one
hand
left
towards
this
discussion.
Barton
board
member
Barton
person.
Q
Thanks
Sherwin
I
guess
I
would
advocate
for
sort
of
sticking
as
closely
as
possible
to
what
Morgan
recommended
are
the
specific
proposals
that
would
have
the
most
beneficial
effect
for
cb14.
She
had
the
chance
to
really
dig
into
this
where
none
of
us
had
been
able
to
and
study.
Q
You
know
what
would
have
the
most
beneficial
effect
for
cd14
I,
guess
it
was
the
street
trees,
rain,
Gardens,
porous
Paving
and
the
rooftop
solar,
so
I
mean
I
would
say
you
know
if
we
could
craft
a
motion
that
sort
of
incorporates
what
her
conclusions
had
been
I
think
that
would
better
suit
our
situation
than
giving
sort
of
a
blanket
approval
to
all
of
the
other
proposals
that
may
or
may
not
have
a
beneficial
effect
on
our
district.
Thanks.
L
No
problem
chairwoman
Brown,
my
recommendation
is
just
how
feasible
would
it
be
to
have
trying
to
think
like
a
committee
of
the
whole,
maybe
in
August
just
because,
if
I
understand
the
deadline
of
September
and
I
completely
agree,
climate
change
is
real
and
it's
important
I
just
don't
feel
comfortable.
L
A
Thank
you
very
much
so
we'll
we'll
do
this
in
the
Parliamentary
fashion
and
that
we
have
two.
We
basically
have
two
motions
that
can
come
to
the
floor
right
now.
We
have
the
motion,
what
looks
to
me
to
improve
with
the
conditions
that
are
included
in
the
planning,
fellows
documents
and
her
observations
about
the
district
and
the
comments
that
we
made
here
tonight.
So
that
could
be
one
motion
and
then
we
have
the
motion
from
board
member
Carl.
A
Well,
the
the
preposition
from
Carl
Henry
Cesar
that
we
table
this
so
that
further
review
can
occur
to
the
annotated
version
and
the
larger
deck
of
slides
and
then
bring
a
committee
of
the
whole
in
August
to
form
a
recommendation
and
then
bring
that
in
September,
not
sure
when
that
September
date
is
going
to
be
for
a
general
meeting.
So
that
would
really
predicate
whether
or
not
this
would
happen.
A
Administratively
Sean
would
it
be
possible
if,
if,
if
the
motion
passes
to
go
to
a
committee
to
table
and
go
to
a
committee
of
the
whole
administratively,
do
you
think
it
would
be
possible
to
get
this
if
approved
on
the
11th?
Could
it
be
sent
to
CPC.
C
Yes,
that
yeah
I,
because
I
think
that
it
would
be
that
that
we
wouldn't
do
the
whole
thing
on
on
September
11th.
It
would
be
done
and
then
presented
on
the
11th,
so
it'd
be
pretty
fully
formed
nearly
fully
formed
by
the
time
it
was
presented.
So,
yes,
okay,.
A
Thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
all
the
members
here
present
before
I
introduce
the
first
Direction,
which
would
be
to
table
this
for
a
committee
of
the
whole
in
August,
so
further
review
can
be
done
and
further,
including
the
more
detailed
slide
deck
and
the
annotated
version
of
the
text
Amendment
the
the
zoning
text,
so
that
that
could
be
brought
to
the
September
meeting.
A
So
I'll
put
that
motion
out
there
on
behalf
of
board
member
Carl
Henry
Cesar.
Does
anyone
second
that
motion?
A
Oh
okay?
Okay,
all
right,
so
we
will
vote
on
this
motion
and
see
if
it
carries
if
it
does
not
carry,
we
will
bring
forth
the
second
option,
which
would
be
to
conditionally
approve,
as
I
stated
later,
so
I
will
vote
in
the
reverse.
If
we
can
just
make
sure
that
we
have
a
count
of
how
many
board
members
here
are
present
and
then
I'll
go
ahead
and
vote
in
the
for
objections.
First,
does
anyone
object
to
tabling
this
for
the
the
committee
of
the
whole
for
presentation?
A
Sorry
well
so
you,
if
you
object
to
tabling
this
right
now,
then
you
would
be
objecting
to
this
motion.
So
the
motion
is
to
table
bring,
bring
forth
the
committee
of
the
whole
in
August
after
we
have
more
details
and
then
move
it
to
September
that
at
that
Committee
of
the
whole,
that's
where
it
would
be
voted
upon
or
a
recommendation
would
be
made
I'm
sorry
and
then
that
recommendation
from
the
committee
of
the
whole
would
go
to
the
general
board
meeting.
D
A
Okay,
seeing
none,
we
have
two
objections
it.
It
appears
to
me
with
how
many
board
members
are
present
that
the
motion
carries,
so
this
matter
will
be
tabled
for
the
extended
slide
deck,
a
further
review
of
the
annotated
zoning
text
and
we
will
convene
a
meaning
of
the
whole
I
hope
some
folks
will
be
available
to
attend
that,
otherwise
we
will
be
giving
up
all
right.
I
really
do
need
to
close
this
public
hearing
board
member
Denise.
A
A
Well,
I
been
a
prize
that
it's
99.9
sure
that
the
executive
that
the
emergency
order
is
not
going
to
be
carried,
so
that's
as
of
June
20th
meetings
will
have
to
be
in
person
or
hybrid.
But
remember.
The
committee
of
the
whole
is
only
making
a
recommendation
right,
so
we
will
come
to
consensus
about
a
recommendation
and
we'll
bring
that
to
the
general
meeting.
A
Any
any
comments
about
that.
Sean
I
think
that
we
can
do
this
via
WebEx,
okay
and
I.
Think
that
will
get
good
representation
if
we
do
a
via
WebEx.
A
Alrighty
all
right,
I
appreciate
all
of
your
responses
here
tonight.
I'm
going
to
close
this
public
hearing
at
7,
35
pm
and
I
am
going
to
kick
it
off
to
the
co-chairs,
Dwayne,
Joseph
and
Barna
prasan,
so
that
they
can
proceed
with
the
community
with
the
community
environment,
cultural
Affairs
and
economic
development
committee.
Thanks
everybody
for
being
here
and
your
patience.
Q
Right
what
Joanne
said
I
will
try
to
repeat
it.
A
second
time
welcome
to
the
June
8th
meeting
of
the
community
environment,
cultural
Affairs
and
economic
development
committee.
We
have
one
item
on
our
agenda,
which
is
a
presentation
on
the
in
progress
designed
for
the
Yuma
Park
reconstruction
I
gather
it
can
be
given
by
Jim
Morris
director
of
capital
projects,
Brooklyn
operations,
the
department
of
Parks
and
Recreation
I
think
I
saw
Anya
in
there
somewhere
I
hope
we
get
a
chance
to
hear
from
her.
Q
I
I
I
just
want
to
thank
everybody
for
joining
us
tonight.
Thank
you
for
winning
on
on
Uma
Park.
It's
a
it's
a
it's
been
a
labor
of
love
in
our
community
for
a
while
to
get
this
upgraded,
our
own
Ed
Powell,
former
chair
and
current
board
member
was
one
of
the
founding
families
and
family
member
or
that
push
for
this
park.
So
I
know
it's
near
and
dear
to
his
heart.
I
know
it's
near
and
dear
to
Sean's
heart
as
well.
Just
because
you
know
we
are
all.
I
She
always
mentions
that
we're
59
out
of
59
when
it
comes
to
you
know
our
green
spaces,
our
Park
spaces
in
our
district,
so
having
this
after
third,
almost
30
years
of
it
being
open
for
it.
For
you
know,
30
years
before
you
get
some
sort
of
renovation
budget
is,
is
pretty
exciting.
So
looking
forward
to
the
presentation,
one.
Q
K
Great,
thank
you
so
much
and
thank
you
for
having
us
we're
very
excited
to
kind
of
update
our
little
presentation
and
and
our
design
about
Uma
Park,
just
a
real
quick
as
a
recap
of
where
we
are.
We
received
funding
for
from
the
Borough
president
and
from
council
member
Rita
Joseph
for
this
project.
Obviously
it's
been
a
long
time
coming
and
it's
a
very
deserved
place,
so
we're
very
excited.
K
We
had
a
our
initial
kind
of
we
called
a
public
input
meeting.
It
was
virtual
back
in
December
14th,
so
about
like
six
months
ago
and
yeah
I
just
want
to
real
quick
before
we
jump
into
it.
Introduce
it
a
couple
different.
We
have.
We
have
the
crew
out
here
today
from
a
couple
different
areas
from
the
parks
department.
I
really
want
to
real
quick,
introduce
everyone
and
somebody
that's
some
familiar
familiar
faces
for
sure.
K
So.
I
have
myself
on
the
director
of
capital
projects
for
Brooklyn
operations.
Here
at
the
parks
department,
we
have
Kat
Kenyatta
who's
on
our
team
for
capital
projects
and
operations.
We
also
have
Anya
Hoyer
and
Karma
raymondi
from
Partnerships.
Parks
Anya
is
someone
that
you
clearly
recognize
and
it's
great
to
have
her
on
the
call
as
well
as
as
I.
We
also
have
Denise
Mattis
and
Dennis
Flynn
from
our
Capital
division,
they're,
actually
working
on
they're
going
to
be
designing
and
working
on
this
project.
K
So
so
yes,
we're
very
excited
and
and
I
want
to
give
a
real,
quick
update
about
moon
park.
So
with
that
I'm
going
to
do
is
if
it's,
okay
with
everyone
I'm
going
to
share
my
screen
real
quick.
We
have
a
quick
presentation
just
to
kind
of
show
you
where
we
are
in
the
process
and
a
little
schematic
design
that
we
want
to
show
off
so
I'm
going
to
share
my
screen
and
kick
it
to
Denise
Mattis.
K
U
Right,
thank
you
very
much,
hi
everyone,
it's
great
to
be
here
tonight,
we're
actually
very
excited
to
show
you
what
we've
come
up
with,
based
on
our
community
input
meeting
back
in
December,
as
Jim
mentioned,
you
know,
total
budget
for
this
one
is
total
funding,
for
this
is
a
little
over
three
million
dollars.
So
we
should
be
able
to
do
some
pretty
neat
things
with
this
next
slide.
E
K
E
K
U
Cool
based
on
our
scope
meeting
we
had
and
I'll
go
into
it
in
a
minute
or
two.
U
We
also
had
a
secondary
sort
of
input
meeting
on
site,
but
based
on
that,
the
goals
that
we
came
out
with
were
reimagining
opportunities
for
play
for
children
of
two
to
five
serving
the
naturally
occurring
retirement
community
adjacent
to
Uma,
and
then
a
continuity
of
community
engagement,
which
this
is
actually
always
a
part
of
it
tonight,
provide
natural
features,
including
expanded,
Street,
trees
and
site
plantings,
improving
access
and
circulation
and
visibility,
which
also
led
to
one
of
the
other
things
we
heard
a
lot
about
is
site
security
and
designing
for
a
community
self-determination
and
social
resiliency
next
slide.
U
So
here's
it's
I
sort
of
the
main
thing
to
say
really
comes
out
of
these
slides
are
when
you
look
at
the
slide
on
the
right
is
one
of
the
big
things
that
we
had
sort
of
take
into
consideration
is
there
is
a
it's
a
unique
site
in
that
we
do
have
a
subway
line
that
runs
directly
underneath,
especially
the
northern
portion
of
the
site,
although
we
also,
although
we
also
border
it
a
little
bit
on
the
a
little
bit
on
the
right
side
as
well.
U
Another
one
of
our
skin
slides.
We
always
look
at
parks
that
are
within
a
10
minute,
walk
so
pretty
much
mostly
where
he
obviously
we're
here
at
the
sort
of
Southeastern
portion
of
Prospect
Park,
with
the
parade
grounds
a
little
bit
to
the
West,
but
other
than
that.
There's
not
really
a
lot
of
other
small
parks
within
a
walking
distance.
U
Next
slide
and
I.
Think
it's
pretty
much.
Everyone
knows
you
can
see
the
the
subway
line
running.
You
know
right
down
through
the
middle
of
the
site
and
pretty
much
mostly
multi-story
residentials
surrounding
the
site
itself
directly.
U
This
is
a
sign
analysis.
Some
we
do
for
all
of
our
Parks.
You
know
we've
kind
of
informed
some
of
the
design
as
well.
So
one
of
the
things
to
note
here
is:
we
do
have
that
private
community
garden
to
the
left
side
of
the
product
poverty,
but
that
is
not
Parks
property.
So
there's
not
anything
within
the
scope
of
this
project.
U
The
surrounding
sidewalk
is
a
little
bit,
beat
up
shape
and
could
use
a
little
bit
of
love,
so
we'll
definitely
be
looking
to
clean
that
up
a
little
bit
and
repair
that
as
well
expanding
like
the
tree
pits
around
it
and
then,
when
you
look
to
the
north
part
of
site,
the
upper
portion,
you
can
see
where
the
subway
line
goes
directly
under
that
and
then
in
the
next
couple,
slides
you'll
see
how
that
kind
of
affects
us
on
that
respect
and
we'll
go
right
to
the
tree.
U
The
tree
inventory
fresh
because
of
parts.
We
do
pay
a
lot
of
attention
to
the
trees
trying
to
improve
the
spaces
that
they're
in,
but
also
there
will
also
play
a
very
important
part
for
us
because
they
provide
a
lot
of
shade,
which
is
always
much
needed
during
the
hotter
summer
months
and
next
slide.
U
One
of
the
things
we
had
to
look
into
was
the
subway
tunnel
below,
and
you
can
see
it's
very
very
close,
and
this
is
for
the
northern
portion
of
the
site.
The
actual
top
of
the
tunnel
is
probably
is
approximately
two
feet
below
the
finished
grade
of
that
Plaza,
wolf,
Plaza
area,
sitting
area.
That's
there
now!
So
it's
something!
We
definitely
have
to
sort
of
keep
in
keep
in
mind
because
it
affects
a
number
of
other
things,
but
yeah,
but
it
definitely
we
could
definitely
work
around
it,
though.
U
Just
some
general
site
photos.
The
one
on
the
left
is
a
really
nice
mural
that
surrounds
that
borders.
The
adjacent
tracks
will
be
preserving
it,
but
also
protecting
it
all
throughout
construction
to
make
sure
it's
safe.
We
also
try
to
use
that
as
a
little
bit
of
inspiration
for
some
of
the
design
ideas
that
we're
going
to
show
to
you
tonight,
but
you
get
an
idea
that
sort
of
sitting
area.
U
That's
there,
it's
something
that
we,
you
know
we
did
years
ago
where
we
kind
of
line
things,
but
it
really
is
not
promoting.
You
know
conversation
stuff,
as
the
chairs
are
kind
of
not
really
set
up
for
conversation,
so
we'll
be
looking
to
improve
things
like
that
next
slide,
and
this
is
sort
of
southern
end.
U
You
can
see
again
the
mural
kind
of
wraps
around
and
again
we'll
be
looking
to
protect
even
this
area
and
stuff
like
that,
and
you
know,
make
sure
it's
safe
all
throughout
construction,
and
you
see
some
of
the
pavement.
There
is
kind
of
beat
up.
There's
really
no
nice
sitting
areas
for
people
as
they
want
to
watch
their
kids
and
also
to
play
equipment
can
use
a
lot
of
updating.
You
know
now.
U
We
everything
that
we
do
now
is
all
about
accessibility
for
children
and
people
of
all
abilities,
so
we're
gonna
upgrading
it
to
our
current
standards
of
play,
equipment.
U
Some
of
the
Safety
Services
a
little
bit
beat
up
as
well,
so
we'll
be
addressing
that
along
with
all
the
other
work,
and
you
know,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
the
surrounding
sidewalks
there's
some
sort
of
chirping
hazards
that
are
out
there
now.
So
whenever
we
do
any
kind
of
capital
project,
we
look
to
enlarge
tree
pits
to
give
them
a
little
bit
better
environment
to
help
them.
U
Just
some
more
photos
of
you
know
the
surrounding
fencing
around
the
park,
and
this
is
along
the
southern
edge
of
the
park
at
Jason
city.
You
know
these
apartment
building,
that's
right!
Next
to
it,
So,
based
on
our
community
input
meeting
that
we
had
last
December,
as
well
as
a
secondary
meeting
that
we
had
in
the
months
after
we
basically
kind
of
drives
the
design
as
we
come
find
out.
U
What
are
some
of
the
main
priorities
for
the
community
so
sort
of
sort
of
there
ones
that
we
have
are
like
seating,
communal
seating,
which
I
like
when
I
pointed
out
on
the
Northern
portion?
You
know
we'll
make
it
so
they'll
set
up
a
little
bit
more
for
conversation,
benches
game
tables,
taught
tables
just
basically,
a
variety
of
options
shade,
as
well
as
play
with
sensory
elements.
Mural
will
preserve
the
mural
and
stuff
as
well
as
accessible
Play
features
senior
Fitness.
U
That
was
another
sort
of
piece
that
came
out
of
our
listening
sessions,
we'll
we'll
try
and
sort
of
focus
on
balance,
Mobility
strength
and
Agility,
as
well
as
you
know,
being
able
to
hold
different
events,
whether
it's
Gathering
spaces
or
open
space
for
top
birthday
parties
and
as
we
try
and
do
with
all
our
boxes,
make
them
basically
more
welcoming
with
welcoming
entrances,
decorative,
Paving
and
then
also
safe
and
secure
spaces
for
everyone
to
enjoy.
U
So
this
is
just
a
really
basic
way
that
we
would
sort
of
look
at
the
site
and
when
we
did,
we
realized
that
now
with
our
whenever
we
have
sort
of
plague,
when
we
have
different
offsets
in
this
case,
we'll
also
have
to
worry
about
a
offset
with
the
MTA
required
that
they'll
need
on
this
space.
The
blue
space
that
you
see
there,
but
because
of
that,
we
decided
to
flip
it
and
move
sort
of
the
play
area.
U
So
this
is
just
a
an
overall
look
at
the
project
and
you
can
see
where
these
the
play
areas
more
to
the
north,
with
a
little
bit
of
a
sitting
area
to
the
right
of
it
and
then
down
below
is
more
of
the
sort
of
a
sitting
area
along
with
the
adult
Fitness.
So
we'll
go
into
an
enlargement
of
each
of
them.
U
U
But
by
doing
this
it
also
allows
us
to
over
along
the
right
by
the
corner,
to
add
a
top
table
with
a
roof
structure
on
it
to
provide
shade
for
the
children
as
well
as
some
Cafe
tables
along
the
right
hand,
side
to
give
a
little
bit
of
a
different
seating
experiences
for
people
and
also
introduce
a
little
bit
of
planting
you'll
notice
on
the
left,
because
we
are
right
above
the
subway
tunnel.
U
So
we
have
some
screen
spaces
that'll
help
us
with
the
drainage.
So
we
have
some
there
along
the
left
side.
As
well
as
on
the
corner,
just
to
give
a
little
bit
of
a
buffer
from
the
surrounding
streets
and
the
other
part
that
you'll
also
notice
is,
we
have
two
entrances
coming
into
the
space
with
some
of
the
primary
entrance
being
along
Ocean
Avenue.
U
U
We've
made
these
sort
of
like
I'm,
going
to
call
them
these
little
triangular
spaces
that
become
like
a
foyer
before
you
enter
the
space
to
make
it
a
little
bit
more
welcoming
and
as
you
come
in
down
on
the
lower
end,
there's
fitness
equipment
it'll
be
geared
more
for
adults
again
with
the
idea
of
promoting
balance,
agility
mobility
and
strength,
and
you
can
see,
along
the
left
hand,
side
there's
that
line
going
up
along
along
parallel
to
the
subway
wall,
and
that
is
sort
of
that
easement
that
we
have
to
maintain
for
New
York
City
Transit.
U
You'll
see
the
two
Cafe
tables
with
the
the
chairs,
as
well
as,
if
you
go
to
the
right
of
that,
there's
a
couple
benches,
along
with
another
cafe,
table
with
spaces
that
are
open
to
allow
for
accessibility
if
anyone's
in
wheelchair,
they
could
sit
there
as
well
and
then,
as
you
go
further
towards
the
top,
with
a
little
bit
more
seating
along
the
edge
with
a
buffer
of
planting
to
get
it
give
a
little
bit
of
separation
from
this
sidewalk
and
the
interior
of
the
park.
U
Everything
will
be
low
to
promote
you
know
good
sight
lines
into
a
park
for
safety
and
again
you
can
start
to
see
that
also
at
the
top,
where
we've
created
this
like
a
little
bit
of
a
vestibule
or
a
foyer
to
head
into
the
park
just
to
help
with
that
transition
from
the
sidewalk
space
into
the
park
itself.
U
And
this
is
just
some
of
the
fencing
diagram
for
around
the
park.
So,
along
the
left
side,
you'll
see,
there's
a
seven
foot
high
fence
that
will
be
maintaining
between
the
community
garden
and
then
you
can
see
the
10-foot.
You
know
corrugated
wall
that
will
have
that
has
a
mural
again
that'll
be
preserved
and
remain
as
it
is.
U
But
what
we've
done
is
we
also
we've
lowered
the
fences
along
the
perimeter
of
the
park
and
with
the
idea
that
our
belief
is
that
between
with
even
though
they're
lower
it
doesn't
it
doesn't
sort
of
cut
back
from
the
safety
of
the
park?
We
believe
that
between
better
sight,
lines
and
improved
lighting
will
definitely
help
with
the
safety
within
the
park.
So
what
we've
basically
done
is
alone
the
entire
perimeter.
U
You
see,
we've
lowered
everything
to
four
foot,
with
double
the
single
gate
at
the
very
top
along
Woodruff
and
then
Double
Gates
for
the
other
three
entrances,
the
one
into
the
north
portion,
as
well
as
the
two
going
into
it
with
the
seating
and
fitness
area.
U
U
Equipment
and
what
we
did
is
a
lot
of
the
colors
that
you
see
there
were
derived
or
pulled
off
of
the
mural
and
we
also
kind
of
stayed
trying
to
pull
along
with
the
theme,
because
that
was
one
of
the
things
we
heard
within
the
listening
sessions,
so
you'll
see
within
all
the
play
equipment,
there's
a
lot
more
sort
of
ground
elements
and
that's
all
part
of
the
accessibility
portion
with
all
of
our
play
equipment.
A
certain
portion
of
it
has
to
meet
certain
accessible
features
for
children
of
all
abilities.
U
And
if
you
look
over
to
the
right,
we've
even
created
like
a
little
bit
of
a
subway
car
that
children
will
be
able
to
go
into,
but
with
different
things
for
that
different
sensory
elements
with
panels
that
could
touch
and
move
all
throughout
the
play
equipment
we've.
Also
within
the.
U
If
you
look
at
the
top
of
the
place
structure,
the
person
that
designed
it
he's
not
on
the
call
tonight,
but
what
he
did
is
he
took
the
I
guess
the
alignment
of
the
different
streets
around
Uma,
Park
and
Incorporated-
that
into
the
shade
elements
up
above
and
you
see
the
lines
and
that
basically
mimicus
the
lines
of
the
streets
surrounding
Wilma,
Park
itself.
U
And
here's
just
another
view
of
the
lower
left
you'll
see
the
the
tot
seating
area,
so
they're
just
smallish
tables
for
the
kids
and
again
you
can
see
the
another
view
of
the
shade
structures
again
with
the
colors
that
will
kind
of
hold
off
the
mural.
U
This
is
a
view
inside
the
little
subway
car
that
was
created,
we're
gonna
kind
of
open
this
up
a
little
bit
more.
The
screens
that
you
see
on
the
front
will
probably
take
some
of
those
out,
so
it's
not
as
enclosed
and
just
to
keep
it
a
little
bit
more
open
for
visibility
and
safety
and
also
a
week
if
we
could
go
back
to
them.
U
Just
even
the
other
things
that
the
designer
worked
into
is,
if
you
look
on
the
left
side,
just
to
give
children
a
sense
of
where
they
are
and
where
the
park
is
within
the
community,
just
even
there's
a
little
bit
of
a
map
on,
so
that
lower
portion
of
the
play
panel,
that
kind
of
gives
a
sense
of
where
they
are
within
the
you
know,
within
the
local
community.
Just
give
a
little
bit
of
a
way
finding,
and
you
can
see
some
of
the
play
equipment.
U
There's
different
ways
of
climbing
again
just
to
provide
different
challenges
for
both
Mobility
strength
and
balance
for
the
children
as
well.
U
And
then
here's
just
some
of
the
some
of
the
images
of
some
of
the
fitness
equipment
and
again
it's
again,
it's
geared
more
for
adults.
You
don't
see
like
chin
up,
bars
and
stuff
like
that
for
the
younger,
but
there's
differently
sort
of
like
balance
beams.
You
see
also
little
pods
that
are
there
sort
of
in
the
Middle
where
somebody
could
hold
on
while
working
on
agility
and
balance
and
stuff
like
that
and
on
the
right
side.
U
And
these
are
just
some
of
the
materials
that
we
use
throughout
the
the
site.
So
you
kind
of
get
an
idea
of
those
of
the
on
the
upper
left
of
the
cafe
tables
with
the
chairs
that
would
be
yellow
to
just
bring
in
a
little
bit
more
color,
because
that
seems
to
be
one
of
the
desires
of
the
community.
An
indicated
idea
of
the
the
fencing,
the
site,
Furniture,
the
the
benches,
the
lighting
and
then
on
the
lower
right.
U
You
can
see
sort
of
an
image
of
what
the
pavers
would
be
like
throughout
the
site
and
that's
sort
of
the
pattern
that
you'll
see
right
above
it
as
well
as
some
of
the
planting
that
you'll
see
throughout
again,
all
the
planting
would
be
low
again,
everything's,
all
about
keeping
good
sight
lines
into
bark
for
safety,
but
while
still
providing
a
little
bit
of
color,
as
well
as
the
beds,
to
help
us
a
little
bit
with
the
the
drainage
within
the
site.
U
T
Dennis
can
I
just
I
just
wanted
to
add
just
a
couple
of
things
just
points
to
kind
of
think
about
Too
part
of
our
reason
for
doing
those
vestibules.
Is
you
see
them
there
that
sidewalk
is
rather
narrow
and
because
we're
enlarging
the
tree
pits?
If
you
see
where
those
are
located,
we've
made
a
little
more
space,
so
people
can
get
can
get
through
along
the
sidewalk
side
on
the
sidewalk.
T
Just
emphasize
the
fact,
with
the
play
equipment
that
we
we
do,
we
do
make
all
everything
inclusive,
we're
very
that's.
One
of
our
main
goals
is
to
make
it
inclusive,
as
well
as
making
sure
there's
a
lot
of
activities.
So
I
hope
that
you
see
that
we
did
incorporate
a
lot
of
activity,
not
just
the
ground
level,
but
a
little
bit
higher
and
as
far
as
this,
there
are
some
other
elements
here
that
we
should
note.
E
T
That
a
child
can
see
where
they
are
a
little
more
graphic
and
colorful.
It's
not
shown
here,
but
there
are
some
custom
touches
here
that
were
really
thought
through
in
terms
of
Designing.
The
space.
Q
I
personally
love
the
subway
car
you're,
probably
gonna
have
to
Prime
me
out
of
there.
You
know
at
five
o'clock
every
day,
and
actually
that
was
a
question
I
was
going
to
ask:
will
it
ever
be
locked
or
I
mean
there's
a
four
foot
fence
kind
of
makes
it
move.
K
It
likely
won't
be
locked.
The
sites
that
are
locked
are
typically
the
ones
that
we
do
in
partnership
with,
like
the
precinct
locally
and
the
site,
this
small
yeah,
we
don't,
we
just
don't,
have
the
like
logistical,
just.
Q
I
Yes,
I'd
like
to
say
thank
you
very
much
for
this
presentation.
I'm
actually
really
excited
I
live
down
the
block
from
Moore
Park
and
my
younger
relative
now
utilize
the
parade
grounds
and
a
few
of
the
parks.
Instead
of
going.
You
know
a
half
a
block
down
the
street
to
utilize
the
park
so
I
know
my
younger
cousin
Ella
is
going
to
enjoy
this.
I
Hopefully
in
the
next
couple
of
years,
once
it's
built
out
my
only
a
suggestion,
like
many
others
in
the
area
as
much
colors,
you
can
bring.
If
you
can
make,
you
know,
paint
that
fence
any
other
color
than
black
I
know
the
community
would
love
it.
It
may
not
be
standard,
but
we're
different
on
that
side
of
cb14.
I
Our
Ward
is
a
little
different,
but
anything
to
bring
more
color
to
the
space
would
be
appreciated,
but
I
mean
overall
I
love
the
look
and
I
hope.
In
the
end,
it
makes
the
folks
like
Ed
Powell,
who
you
know,
helped
to
to
create
this
many
many
moons
ago,
make
them
proud
for
what
they
left.
The
Legacy
they're
leaving
in
the
community.
C
Thanks
just
as
I
should
know
this,
but
is
the
is
it
locked
now
has.
Is
this
a
change
in
the
policy?
Has
it
been
locked
previously.
K
E
K
The
precinct
that
may
that
may
be
locked
so
I,
you
know
I,
don't
want
to
speak
out
of
turn
I'm,
not
too
sure,
but
I
can
confirm
and
check.
And
if
that's
the
case
we
can,
we
could
pursue
that
kind
of
arrangements
kind
of
outside
of
the
capital
process.
But
we
could
arrange
that.
C
So
you
can
punt
me
if
you
need
to,
but
just
in
terms
of
operations,
if
a
lot
of
times
in
our
playgrounds,
especially
the
tot
Lots,
there
is
a
no
adult
without
a
child
rule,
but
here
we're
inviting
you
know
adults
into
the
pla
into
the
the
fitness
area
at
the
same
time
that
that
younger
kids
are
being
invited
in
and
oh
by
the
way
it's
really
great
I
mean
it
looks
really
wonderful.
It
is
super
thoughtful
in
its
design
and
it
looks
as
though
you've
heard
community.
C
So
so
that
is
all
appreciated.
I
didn't
mean
to
jump
to
the
problems.
It's
occupational
hazard,
but
so
so
that
interaction
is,
is
a
question
in
my
mind
and
then
yeah.
The
four
foot
fences
is
a
little
bit
of
concern
in
terms
of
nighttime
usage
and
so
how
we
would
manage.
C
That
is
a
question
and
then
the
lighting,
which
would
maybe
mitigate
some
nighttime
usage-
that
wouldn't
might
be
anti-social,
but
is
that
lighting
going
to
be
on
all
night
and
is
there
a
concern
that
we
should
entertain
about
glare
into
the
residents
that
are
adjacent
to
that?
Those
are.
Those
are
my
only
worries
thanks.
T
I
could
address
those
so
the
first
question
about
the
fencing
Jim.
If
you
could
flip
back
up
to
the
enlargement
of
the
play
area,.
T
So
one
of
one
of
the
things
we
did
knowing
that
we
were
going
to
be
moving
the
play
to
the
front
there
was
to,
as
you
see,
go
up
one
one
or
two
more
to
the
to
that
to
the
to.
T
So
in
in
the
existing
plan
that
gate
is
at
the
corner
right,
so
we
moved,
we
moved
the
gate
out
of
the
direct
Corner,
obviously
because
we
want
the
safety
of
the
kids
first
and
foremost
that
they're
not
running
running
out
into
the
street.
So
there
is
the
option
to
keep
the
gate
closed,
say
the
one
on
Woodruff
and
the
double
gate
on
Ocean,
which
is
a
little
bit
further
down,
also
like
closed,
not
locked
so
much,
but
during
the
day.
Having
it
closed.
T
So
there
is
the
security
of
that
space
and
just
understand
that
that
space
is
separate
from
the
the
lower
space.
So
technically,
as
you
were
saying,
no
try
a
parent
needs
to
be
with
child
or
adult
needs
to
be
the
child.
That
upper
portion
is
pretty
much
Kid.
Zone
kid
friendly
kind
of
that
space
is,
is
children's
space,
the
lower
space.
Then
we
consider
more
of
the
adult
space
and
again
there's
two
entrances
in
and
out.
T
We
don't
typically
want
to
have
one
entrance
in
so
for
our
safety
security
reasons
we
like
to
have
two.
So
we
have
that,
and
we
have
that,
as
you
can
see,
that
sitting
area
and
then
the
fitness
area.
So
there
is
a
distinction
between
the
two
and
hope
and
there
is
that
weight
to
separate
both,
but
for
both
groups
to
be
able
to
enjoy
the
park.
T
As
far
as
the
the
gate,
the
fencing
and
the
lighting,
we
will
use
our
our
typical
Parts
lighting,
which
should
in
the
locations
we
are
showing,
should
not
provide
player.
But
you
know
if
they're
not
blaring
lights,
but
they
are
typical,
Park
lights,
that
you
see
throughout
the
city
and
going
kind
of
continuing
the
the
initiative
that
commissioner
silver
started
so
many
years
ago
with
lowering
the
fences
actually
gives
you
a
little
bit
more
visibility
into
the
park
and
in
also
including
that
lighting.
T
That
should
help
with
a
little
more
of
the
security
and
safety
to
be
able
to
see
into
the
park.
So
it's
not
so
with
defense
is
very
high,
believe
it
or
not.
There's
that
it's
it's
more
difficult
to
see
into
what's
going
on,
so
there's
more
ability
to
be
able
to
see
what's
there
and
with
the
addition
of
the
lighting.
That's
that's
our
goal.
To
try
to
make
that
more
visible
is
that
people
may
not
have
the
tendency
to
be
there
to
do
a
certain
activity.
U
And
just
also
for
the
lighting,
the
lighting
is
it's
where
it's
actually,
it's
sort
of
managed
by
dot,
so
it
is
controlled
to
the
timing
of
the
lights
in
the
street,
so
it
would
be
on
it
would
be
on
a
light
but
I
think
also
Jim.
Can
you
go
back
to
the
the
materials
slide
as
I
think
for
the
lighting
yeah
this
one?
Also
it's
a
little
different,
the
lighting,
so
the
fixture.
U
When
you
see
this,
the
Flushing
Meadows
there
is
a
sort
of
a
solid
part
on
the
top,
so
the
light
doesn't
tend
to
generate
it
up
as
much.
It
should
be
a
little
bit
controlled
a
little
bit
more
focused
on
downwards
instead
downwards
and
out.
So
we
don't
think
it'll.
Be
that
big
or
really
any
kind
of
problem
to
be
Jason.
Apartments.
H
Yes,
well,
first
of
all,
all
I
can
say
is
wow
I
mean
I,
am
just
so
thrilled
and
excited
about
what
is
going
on
kudos
to
it.
Towel
chairman
emeritus,
Alvin,
Burke
and
Sean.
I
cannot
leave
out
Sean
Campbell
for
all
of
the
work
that
you've
done
in
the
community
at
large
I'm,
just
looking
so
forward,
I'm
happy
for
the
community
that
surrounds
Woodruff,
Avenue
and
Uma
Park,
but
for
all
of
us
who
are
still
in
walking
distance
because
I
can
walk
there
y'all
to
to
be
a
part
of
this.
H
E
T
We
appreciate
all
this
positive
feedback
I
just
wanted
to
add
Joanne
Brown
to
that
mix
of
people,
because
Kevin
Vogel,
the
or
designer
main
designer
here
had
mentioned
that
Joanne
was
really
helpful
in
that
that
session
that
he
had
out
on
site
so
Joanne.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
help
with
that.
Just
wanted
to
mention
that.
Q
I
Just
one
one
question
I
actually
forgot
to
ask
this,
but
in
terms
of
elements
for
the
stationary
parts
of
the
park
and
the
material
being
used,
you
know
a
lot
of
parents
have
mentioned
this
to
me
and
so
I'm,
bringing
it
up
that
there'd
be
as
little
metal
as
possible,
especially
with
things
like
the
slides
and
the
table
tops
because
they
do
collect
that
heat
during
the
summer
months
or
the
warmer
months,
and
then
the
kids
aren't
able
to
utilize.
I
It's
like
especially
the
slide.
It
gets
super
hot.
So
just
just
to
point.
As
far
as
the
type
of
elements
you're
using
in
the
space.
U
Usually,
with
all
of
our
slides,
what
we
try
and
do
is
have
them
so
they're
not
on
south
facing
slopes.
So
if
the
south
is
to
the
bottom
of
the
site,
so
actually
Jim
can
you
go
to
the
enlargement
of
the
play
area?
U
G
U
We
go
so
there
is
a
slide,
but
you'll
see
it's
on
the
north
side
of
the
site
of
the
thing
of
the
site
itself.
So
it's
not
it's
more
of
a
North
facing
slide
instead
of
the
sound,
because
we
do.
We
definitely
pay
attention
because
we
don't
realize
it
does
get
very
hot
for
the
children.
So
that's
why,
with
whenever
we
do
the
parks
and
stuff
like
that,
we
try
and
make
sure
all
the
slides
are
North
facing,
but
definitely
not
south
facing.
T
One
of
the
main
you
know,
obviously
one
of
our
biggest
concerns
here
is
that
it
is
very
sunny
and
we
we
took
a
lot
of
you
know.
We
did
really
take
a
look
at
how
this
structure
needed
to
have
larger
roofs
for
the
top
of
it,
so
that
the
structure
is
fairly
shaded
and
where
you
see
those
those
roofs.
Those
kind
of
three
triangular
pieces,
since
we
are
south
side,
is
on
the
bottom.
The
the
shade
should
be
the
sun
shadow
should
be
casting
more
towards
that
side
of
the
slide.
T
Just
so
you
you
know.
So
it
looks
like
that's
pretty
well
well,
shaded
in
terms
of
getting
sun
on
that
slide,
but
we
can
certain
we'll
certainly
look
into
obviously
metal
versus
plastic
pieces.
We
typically
stay
away
from
plastic
pieces
for
for
certain
reasons,
as
far
as
maintenance,
but
we
can.
We
can
certainly
look
into
what
we
can
do
here.
If
that's
that's
a
possibility,
but
we
will
take
that.
You
know
we'll
look
into
that.
Did.
U
Jim,
can
you
go
any
enlargement
of
the
playground
is
one
that
shows
it's
the
second
enlargement
of
the
play
for
a
minute,
yeah
that
kind
that
kind
of
I
think
yeah.
So
there
is
so
you
can
see
the
slide.
That's
on
the
on
the
north
side
of
it.
So
you
can
see
the
you
know,
there's
a
fair
amount
of
like
sort
of
coverage
with
the
shade
structures
above
which
you
think
will
help
with
that.
So.
Q
I
have
a
quick
question
for
you
all
at
parks.
Would
you
want
a
motion
of
support
for
us
from
today
or
because
I
noticed,
the
agenda
item
specifies
in
progress?
Are
you
thinking?
This
is
the
proposal
you
want
us
to
consider,
or
is
there
something
more
complete
that
you're
envisioning
in
the
future?
This.
T
Is
our
this?
Is
our
proposal?
I
mean
we?
We
would
love
it
if
you,
if
you
all
agree
that
this
is
this
is
what
you
you
agree
with.
What
we
have.
E
T
We
certainly
would
would
welcome
an
approval
yeah
that,
yes,
okay,.
Q
Basically,
just
trying
to
get
a
sense
of
timing,
because
if
you're
you're
going
to
be
done-
and
we
were
going
to
finish-
that's
one
thing,
but
if
we're
going
to
finish
the
conversation
and
then
put
forth
emotion,
then
discuss
that
that's
the
second
one.
So
thank
you
for
clarifying.
That
was
my
hunch.
That's
fine!
Let
me
move
on
to
chair
Brown,
go
ahead.
A
A
Partnership
for
Parks,
New,
York,
City,
Parks
and
the
whole
design
team.
This
is
just
amazing.
Thank
you.
Q
O
Sorry
about
that
yeah
I
I
do
have
a
couple
of
questions.
First,
one
regarding
the
the
community
garden
that
adjoins
the
park
on
the
west
side.
Was
there
any
thought
or
consideration
given
to
possibly
you.
E
O
Talking
with
the
owners
and
possibly
including
that
purchasing
that
property
and
including
that
as
part
of
on
my
Park,
that's
my
first
question.
K
That's
a
great
question
and
and
I
could
I
could
kind
of
talk
a
little
bit
about
that.
You
know
we
received
funding
specifically
for
the
site
and
it's
a
much
longer
most
much
more
like
rigorous
process
to
begin
the
process
for
the
city
to
purchase
land
and
a
lot
of
times
what
happens
when
there's
interest
in
purchasing
what
is
a
private
land?
K
You
know
we
certainly
would
have
loved
to
have
Incorporated
that
site,
but
I
think
for
for
the
the
funding
that
we
have
and
what
we
can
use
it
can
really
only
be
given
to
our
you
know
the
sites
that
we
have
and
we
are
always
interested.
You
know
with
some
of
us.
We
would
love
to
be
able
to
buy
these
lands,
but
I
think
it's
also
a
maintenance
question,
too,
of
being
able
to
kind
of
maintain
these
properties
and
clearing
it
out.
K
So,
unfortunately,
that
won't
be
happening
this
side,
we,
you
can
only
really
renovate
the
land
that
we
have,
but
you
know
if
that
person
is
interested.
You
know,
maybe
that
that
could
be
some
separate
discussion
with,
like
local
elected
officials,
for
more
Capital
funding
to
incorporate
that,
but
at
this
time
unfortunately,
we're
only
able
to
to
renovate
the
property
that
we
have.
O
Thank
you,
Jim
understood
during
the
the
listening
sessions.
One
of
the
things
that
I
mentioned
is
my
my
partner
one
of
my
partners
in
the
organization
James
Burns,
who
was
you
know,
he's
passed
on
last
year,
but
he
was
one
of
the
founders
of
of
the
ummah
group.
O
The
organization
and
you
know,
of
the
the
actual
playground
so
I
I
mentioned
well
I
asked
if
it
were
possible
that
we
have
something
you
know
in
his
honor
a
little
plaque
or
name
a
chair
or
a
bench
for
him
or
whatever.
Is
that
something?
That's
still?
It's
still
feasible
at
this
point.
T
I
I
know
Mr
Paul.
First
of
all,
it's
nice
to
finally
meet.
You
Kevin
actually
told
me
a
lot
about
you,
so
it's
really
a
pleasure
to
meet
you
I
I
did
Kevin
did
talk
to
me
about
possibly
having
a
plaque
or
something
and
dedication
we
can.
We
can
explore
that
and
and
look
into
something
that
that
might
be
feasible.
I'd
have
to
check
with
our
our
chief.
We
didn't.
K
K
You
know
we
are,
as,
as
the
question
came
up
before,
we
are
pursuing
the
community
board
approval,
but
in
that
same
approval
there
con
there
can
be
recommendations
for
for
something
to
like
look
into
or
something
to
follow
up
on,
because
you
know
we
we
are
in
a
situation
where
you
guys
are
about
to
go
on
recess,
which
is
very
exciting.
K
But,
however,
you
know
there's
there,
you
can
add
into
that
letter
things
such
as
looking
into
a
commemoration
of
some
sort
and-
and
we
have
other
sites
that
are
a
little
bit
less.
You
know
like
that.
There
is
incorporation,
but
more
of
like
a
plaque
on
the
outside
that
wouldn't
really
be
part
of
like
a
capital
project
in
terms
of
the
infrastructure,
the
meat
and
bones
of
the
infrastructure,
but
it's
certainly
something
Mr
Powell.
K
We
could
follow
up
on
with
you
and
and
and
the
community
about
the
community
board
about
maybe
incorporating
something
a
little
bit
further
down
the
line
with
this
project
so
that
it's
not
forgotten
and
and
but
I
just
want
to.
Let
that
known
that
you
know
we're
not
just
saying
like
this
is
exactly
what
we
have,
and
this
is
what
you're
going
to
be
getting
it's
more
like
you
can
add
recommendations
of
stuff.
We
can
look
into
as
well
right.
O
One
of
the
things
that
that
We've
we've
been
talking
about
for
years
is
a
sprinkler.
Now
I,
you
know
understood
the
the
the
the
play
equipment
would
be
directly
over
the
the
train
tracks.
You
know
the
subway
cut
and
I
I
totally
understand
that
that
that
would
might
be
an
engineering
nightmare,
but
is
there
any
way
that
that
could
be
incorporated?
You
know
I've
seen
play
equipment
that
have
a
sprinkler
Incorporated
in
in
the
play
equipment.
O
You
know
a
little
a
little
like
a
little
sort
of
pipe
with
the
pad
on
it.
You
know
it's
anything
like
that
and
I
should
and
of
course
drainage.
It
would
be
an
issue,
but
is
there
any
kind
of
engineering
that
would
be
feasible?
You
know
nothing,
that's
gonna
go,
you
know,
go
crazy,
but
anything
that
would
be
feasible
because
that's
been,
you
know
the
talk
for
many
many
years
that
the
kids.
That
would
be
something
really
nice
for
the
kids
if
they
were
a
sprinkler,
yeah.
T
That's
that's
a
tough
one
here
only
because
when
we
started
to
investigate
the
areas,
the
area
where
the
play
is,
as
you
saw
in
that
one,
drawing
we're
at
like
two
feet:
two
plus
feet
to
the
top.
So
in
order
to
have
any
type
of
piping
or
anything
like
that,
it
would
be
really
challenging
to
try
to
get
water
at
least
to
that
front
portion.
U
Like,
as
you
mentioned
earlier,
it's
the
other
part
is,
after
that
we
have
to
capture
it
and
then
bring
it
someplace,
and
that
requires
structures
where,
on
this
one,
we
just
we're
really
just
because
of
the
subway
structure
below
and
also
usually
with
sites
like
this
or
when
you're,
that
close
to
it.
New
York,
City
Transit,
has
very
strict
rules
about
excavation
how
far
down
you
could
go
and
stuff
like
that.
So
I
I
think
it
would
be
very,
very
tough
within
the
site
to
be
able
to
provide
that.
I
If
I
may
just
make
the
point
Ed
it's
Dwayne,
you
know
when
the
site
was
initially
in
built.
You
know
we
didn't
have
like
the
left,
rack,
Center
and
their
wading
pool
and
their
sprinkler
pool.
I
That's
not
too
far
away.
So
if
we
can't
incorporate
it,
I
still
think
we
have
an
element
in
the
community
that
works
very
well.
That's
not
too
far
away.
E
I
Also
want
to
just
quickly
acknowledge
that
you
know
Sean
has
mentioned
in
the
chat
that
the
board
will
follow
up
with
Parks
regarding
the
acknowledgment
of
the
founder
you
mentioned,
and
that
there
is
a
precedent
in
the
district
already
that
for
that
sort
of
dedication
to
be
incorporated,
so
the
board
would
definitely
follow
up
around
around
that.
K
Yeah
and
that's
that
I
was
so
glad
that
that
I'm
taking
Mr,
Joseph
I'm
so
glad
you,
you
shouted
out
that
site,
because
that's
exactly
what
we're
talking
about
there
can
be
Corporation
more
on
an
operational
level
that
we
do
for
a
site
like
the
the
Tot
Lot
that
that
this
happens
all
over
the
place.
So
it's
it's
really
not,
and
we
would
love
to
do
that.
Stuff.
We'd
love
to
commemorate
things
like
that,
so
we'll
certainly
follow
up
and
and
leave.
I
The
charge
on
that
so
thank
you
very
much-
would
definitely
found
out,
but
in
the
interest
of
time
and
because
you
know,
there's
a
quest
for
a
letter
of
support
around
the
the
design
and
proposal
Brian.
Do
you
want
to
make
a
motion.
Q
I
would
actually
let
Derek
talk
because
he
was
kind
enough
to
let
him
sorry
so
I
think
I'll
make
it
Eric
the
last
person.
If
that's
okay,
go
ahead.
V
Thanks
Barton
thanks
everybody,
what
an
amazing
project
so
exciting,
I
I
was
thinking
in
some
way.
Ed's
question
is
sort
of
like
mine,
I'm
thinking
about
water
infrastructure,
I'm,
so
happy
to
see
that
you
guys
have
live
plants
incorporated
into
your
design.
It's
something
that
I've
noticed.
For
example,
at
the
toddler
we've
mentioned
this
a
couple
times.
It's
like
you
know,
there's
quite
a
bit
of
space
in
the
interior
along
the
edges
of
the
Tot
Lot
that
had
past
tense,
live
bushes
and
other
things
that
were
planted
there
and
I.
V
Don't
know
what
the
infrastructure
is
to
water.
These
things
during
the
very
dry
months
or
to
keep.
You
know,
make
sure
that
these
things
that
we
that
we
plant
and
make
space
for
in
these
designs
are
maintained,
so
I'm
just
I'm
curious
what
the
infrastructure
is
to
maintain
some
of
those
I,
don't
know
if
they're,
just
pictures
of
them
or
you're
definitely
looking
to
plant
like
the
catnip
and
the
you
know
the
the
beautiful
trees
there
but
yeah.
So
my
question
is
about
the
parks
and
maintenance
and
I
don't
know.
V
Maybe
yeah
I'm
curious
how
you
guys
do
that
and.
K
Yeah
I
could
be
real,
quick
with
that,
so
that
that's
more
the
operational
office,
our
Horticulture
team
maintains
the
the
Horticulture
that
is
brought
into
a
new
capital
projects.
It's
very
important
to
us
to
be
able
to
do
that.
K
I
think
we're
lucky
that
we're
in
the
shadow
of
in
this
situation
of
Prospect
Park,
that
there
is
obviously
a
very
robust
amount
of
parks
department
operations
going
on
in
that
Park
that
we
can
kind
of
cater
to
that
kind
of
maintenance
inside
inside
this
stuff,
where
our
gardeners
from
the
district
and
staff
can
come,
and
you
know
we
don't
want
to
build
a
park
where
it's
going
to
be
buried
right
after
and
when
that
happens,
it's
it's.
K
You
know
it's
a
blemish
on
us,
so
that
kind
of
stuff
is
a
priority
to
us,
but
yeah.
It
will
be
part
of
our
maintenance,
our
gardener
maintenance
rounds
and
we
rely
upon
Mother
Nature
too.
You
know
of
rain,
but
you're.
Certainly
you
know,
especially
recently,
it's
very
dry
so
but.
K
Of
our
process
and
we
prioritize
keeping
these
plants
alive
throughout
the
throughout
the
capital
after
the
capital
Project's
done
thanks.
T
Jim
just
to
just
to
piggyback
on
that,
you
said
the
whole
other
nature,
part
of
it
when
we
look
at
at
grading
as
far
as
the
drainage
of
the
site
when
we're
looking
to
pitch
these
create
a
pitch
to
these
areas
or
a
little
bit
of
a
slope
to
these
areas.
T
The
intent
is
to
where
we
have
those
planting
beds
to
pitch
our
water
towards
those
planting
beds,
so
that
the
storm
water
does
go
towards
those
planting
beds
so
that
there
will
be
Rain
Source
going
towards
those
beds
as
well,
and
that
was
that
was
our
hope.
As
we
were
looking
at
the
design
where
those
planting
beds
are
too
so
just
to
Great
piggyback.
What
Jim
said.
Q
Q
O
This
has

many
many
many
years
in
the
making
and
and
Alvin
Burke
God

you
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Sean,
thanks
to
parks
department,
all
the
board
members
who
have
supported
this
year
after
year
after
year
and,
of
course,
thanks
to
council
member
Rita
Joseph
for
for
funding
this.
This
is
a
dream,
come
true
for
me
and
for
my
organization.
Thank
you.
So
much.
Q
Beautifully
put
in
so
I
have
a
motion
on
the
floor.
We
will
vote
in
Reverse
anybody,
not
in
favor
of
the
motion.
Associated.
Please
raise
your
hand
now
virtually
and
put
your
hand
down.
Q
Thank
you
not
seeing
anything.
Anybody
wish
to
abstain.
Q
Still
not
seeing
anything
and
anybody
who
is
present
not
voting
by
reason
of
conflict
of
interest,
then
it
looks
like
it
passes
unanimously.
Thanks
to
you
all
who,
over
the
years
have
tirelessly
worked
for
this
thanks
to
you
at
parks
who,
in
the
period
of
time
you've
had
control
of
it,
have
put
together
what
looks
to
be
an
absolutely
spectacular
implementation
of
what
the
community
wanted
and
with
that
then
I
will
ask
if
there
is
any
new
business
old
business
and
then
I'll
ask
promotion
to
adjourn.
Q
K
I
just
had
one
bit
of
information.
Just
so
people
know
the
future
of
this
site
too.
It's
going
to
go
into
construction,
but
most
likely
Fall
2024
and
take
one
year
to
complete
and
be
done
most
likely.
Fall
2025
will
stay
in
contact
with
the
community
board,
but
I
just
want
to
let
people
know
what
the
future
of
the
site
is,
that
it
will
be
closed
for
one
year
for
reconstruction,
but
that
won't
be
until
next
year.
K
Q
You
thank
you,
then
I
say
we're
adjourned
unless
anybody
objects
and
so
endeth.
The
June
8th
meeting
of
our
committee
and
look
forward
to
seeing
you
all
on
Monday
at
the
full
board
meeting,
take
care
good.
