B
All
right
looks
like
we
have
a
few
more
folks
on
board,
so.
B
Okay,
good
evening,
everyone
on
behalf
of
coach
Eric,
Talisha
sainville,
I'm,
Greg
Alvarez,
the
co-chair
of
the
housing.
C
B
Land
use
committee-
we
are
here
this
evening
to
convene
with
one
agenda
item
that
that
has
come
up
and
there's
been
there.
B
Pressure
so
to
speak
in
terms
of
our
response
and
that's
why
we
look
to
schedule
this
meeting
the
first
of
the
month.
So
thank
you
all
for
joining
this
evening
and
those
who
will
be
joining
along,
and
so
the
topic
for
this
evening
is
the
Brooklyn
Borough
president's
proposed
comprehensive
plan
initiative.
B
It
has
gotten
off
the
ground
and
at
this
point
the
borough
president's
office
has
issued
what's
called
the
existing
conditions
report,
which
was
prepared
by
various
stakeholders
in
an
effort
to
compile
certain
demographic
and
other
existing
conditions
within
the
borough
to
help
guide
this
comprehensive
plan
process.
The
initiative
itself
was
prompted
by
the
borough
president's
desire
to
tie
land
use
to
health
outcomes
within
the
borough
to
see
what
could
be
done
from
a
land
use.
Perspective
approve
those,
and
so
the
first
step
was
to
gather
the.
B
That
currently
exists
to
to
help
guide
those
initiative
and
what
the
Borough
president
had
asked
for
was
input
from
residents
and
and
all
other
interest
parties
within
the
borough
and
what
they
did
was
they
issued
a
form
where
they
had
issued
prompts
where
you
could
fill
in
answers.
B
Based
on
your
reactions
to
this
existing
conditions
report,
and
so
in
response
to
that,
we've
taken
an
initial
look
at
it,
and
so
we
wanted
to
bring
the
committee
together
to
to
have
a
conversation
about
considerations
that
that
should
be
included
with
the
ultimate
goal
of
submitting
something
in
to
the
borough
president's
office.
They
did
set
an
initial
deadline
of
January
31st,
but
district
manager,
Sean
Campbell
has
asked
for
some
just
additional
time.
B
So
so
that's
why
we're
meeting
tonight
so
that
we
can
turn
around
and
present
that
we've
put
together
largely
on
the
initiative
of
Tara
Brown,
to
put
together
some
considerations
to
think
about
in
in
in
reviewing
those
those
that
those
data
points
and
and
things
that
they
may
have
missed
and
things
that
are
of
particular
importance
to
the
district.
So
district
manager
Campbell
has
put
together
a
letter
as
well
to
for
those
considerations.
B
So
what
we'd
like
to
do
tonight
is
review
the
information
that
that
we
have
gathered
to
this
point
and
presented
to
the
committee
so
that
we
can
talk
a
little
bit
about
it
and
then
from
there
to
help
guide
us
towards
that
that
submission
to
the
borough
president's
office.
So
we
want
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
background
here
and
I
think
without
further
Ado
I'm,
going
to
turn
it
over
into
our
chair,
Joanne
Brown
and
district
manager,
Sean
Campbell,
to
provide
that
information,
I'm
trying
to
think
maybe
Sean.
B
If
you
could
just
put
up
like
we
talked
about,
maybe
briefly
the
existing
conditions
report
just
so
that
we
can
indicate
what
it
is
and
I
know
you
put
it
in
the
chat
in
terms
of
what
what
it
is
and
then
based
on
that
framing.
We
can
turn
it
over
to
chair
Brown
to
talk
about
perhaps
some
of
the
responses
to
what
they've
prepared.
A
Yeah
the
link
is
in
the
chat
for
anybody
who
wants
to
open
that
up
and
and
sort
of
scroll
through
the
maps.
Is
that
what
you
meant?
Do
you.
B
A
B
A
A
Okay,
perfect
and
then
just
quickly
I,
do
want
to
recognize
that
that
bill
cooch
is
on
this
call
with
us
and
he's
one
of
our
planning
fellows
working
on
our
housing
inventory.
So
I
just
wanted
to
give
him
a
quick
shout
out
and
I'm
going
to
mute
myself
and
let
Joanne
go
from
here.
Okay,.
E
F
We're
waiting,
can
you
do
you
mind
putting
in
the
link
I
just
clicked
on
it
and
it
does
work
Sean,
but
for
people
who
weren't
here
before
the
meeting
started,
they
don't
have
the
link
in
the
chat.
B
And
while
you're
doing
that,
I'd
just
like
to
mention
as
well
in
terms
of
where
we
sit
in
the
process,
we're
still
very
early
in
the
process.
But
we
have
received
this
first
work
product,
but
there
will
be
subsequent
against
issuances
of
materials
after
it.
But
what
we
want
to
do
is
get
sort
of
on
the
ground
floor
of
all
this
as
they
try
to
create
the
actual
plan.
So
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
as
well.
E
Great
so
I
can
share
the
comprehensive
plan
and,
since
I've
been
in
two
Borough
board
meetings
about
the
plan,
I'll
just
quickly
scroll
through
it
and
point
through
some
highlights,
if
no
one,
if,
if
our
committee,
members
and
board
members
are
not
familiar
with
it,
okay,
so
I'm
gonna
share
the
screen.
Okay.
E
So
this
is
a
report
that
was
prepared
for
the
Brooklyn
Borough
president
and
his
office.
It's
called
planning
for
a
public
health
in
Brooklyn,
and
this
report
is
the
existing
condition
report,
which
will
guide
the
borough
president's
comprehensive
plan,
so
I'll
just
scroll
through
and
Orient
you
as
to
some
highlights.
E
There
are
some
invited
advisory
committee
members.
You
see
them
here
on
the
right
of
your
screen.
There's
Brooklyn
Chamber
of
Commerce
riseborough
Community
Partnership,
make
the
road
so
on
and
so
forth.
Coney
Island
Alliance!
So
as
we
get
into
the
contents
we
start
to
look
at.
E
This
is
an
amalgamation
of
data
that
they
pulled
from
several
different
sources:
the
American
Community
survey,
which
is
run
by
the
census,
this
the
census
to
the
2020,
Census
Data,
and
so
originally,
what
this
plan
was
supposed
to
be,
as
it
was
presented
to
us
in
September
at
a
Borough
board
meeting
was
how
can
we
improve
public
health
or
how
can
the
Borough
president
improve
Brooklyn's
Public
Health
in
a
comprehensive
plan
that
aligns
with
land
use?
E
So
in
order
to
determine
where
we
exist,
and
he
created
this
so
I'll
just
kind
of
move,
several
sections,
we
have
graphics
and
then
we
look
at
you
know
how
all
the
the
borough
is:
Broken,
Out,
In,
race
and
ethnicity,
median
age
and
so
I'll.
Just
always
sort
of
you
know
land
on
cb14.
So
you
can
look
at
this
data.
That's
the
mean
age,
and
this.
This
actual
map
is
one
thing
that
we
have
added
as
a
deficiency.
We
sort
of
feel
like
that.
E
The
the
ages
are,
or
at
least
the
mean
age
and
way
that
it's
presented
in
this
map
is,
is
deficient
we'd
like
to
see
below
33
years
of
age.
E
Sex
ratios
limited
English
proficiency,
and
then
you
could
see
some
hot
spots
down
in
the
West,
the
southern,
the
west
and
the
south
of
our
district
educational
attainment,
Sheriff
foreign-born
population,
which
is
quite
in
which
is
quite
important
to
our
district.
You
can
see
you
know
here
in
the
Northeast
and
in
the
west
and
then
South
and
then
another
topic
was
health,
so
like
life
expectancy,
premature
mortality,
asthma,
hospitalizations
with
asthma,
with
children,
so
on
and
so
forth,
and
then
additional
Maps.
E
So
here
this
one
is
life
expectancy
compared
to
New,
York
City.
This
is
where
we
land
in
cb14.
You
can
see
that
we
have
some
hot
spots
here
in
the
just.
You
know:
sort
of
the
Central
South
and
then
a
lot
of
hot
spots
here
in
the
Northeast
premature
mentality,
completely
in
line
with
cb17
and
and
cb18
as
we
go
east
adult
asthma
concentrated
in
the
Northeast
hospitalizations
in
children.
E
We
have
this
pocket
right
here
and
then
overall
sort
of
half
of
the
district
adult
cancer
which
is
prevalent
in
the
south
I'm
not
going
to
get
too
granular.
But
this
is
I
just
wanted
to
orient
you
and
some
of
the
you
know
some
of
the
really
you
know
interesting
data
that
was
that
came
out
of
this
report
and
it's
going
to
be
a
great
resource
for
us
for
a
couple
of
years
going
forward.
E
Let
me
just
get
to
some
of
the
other
topics
that
they
put
in
here:
don't
get
dizzy,
I
apologize,
food
insecurity.
This
is
the
legend
we
land
somewhere
between
12.4
and
5.3
percent.
It's
prevalent
throughout
the
entire
District
residents,
who
haven't
received
the
first
dose
of
any
Copic
vaccine,
there's
the
legend
for
that
so
below
60.
You
can
see
concentrations
in
the
Southwest
and
then
deaths.
E
E
So
on
and
forth
so
forth,
so
this
is
quite
an
excellent
plan.
Sorry,
quite
an
excellent
report.
I
encourage
everyone,
especially
on
this
committee,
but
also
on
a
board
to
go
ahead
and
look
at
the
data
that
they
came
out
with
it.
My
assumption
is
that
this
is
the
most
up-to-date
that
we
can.
You
know
Tamp
into
so
I'm,
not
moderating
moderating
this
meaning
so
I'm
going
to
leave
it
to
the
co-chairs
to
answer
questions
all.
B
G
Hey
good
evening,
folks,
nice
to
see
everybody,
and
so
my
question
is
brief
and
so
and
I
apologize
because
I
arrived
late
and
I
arrived
at
the
point
when
people
were
talking
about
a
letter
from
the
community
board.
But
basically
my
question
is
for
us
as
individual
community
board.
Members
is
the
thought
that
those
of
us
who
do
read
the
report.
G
You
know
we
fill
out
the
feedback
form
submitted
individually
and
then
also
let
the
community
board
office
know:
hey
I
submitted
the
form,
and
this
is
what
I
said
or
is
this
more
up
or
is
the
thinking
something
more
like
hey?
We
reviewed
the
report
and
then,
whatever
things
we
find
of
notes,
we
share
those
with
the
community
board
office
and
then
that
all
gets
collated
into
some
sort
of
letter.
That
again
then
gets
sent
like
I'm
just
wondering
what
is
the
path,
because
I
have
no
problem
doing
both.
G
A
A
A
Okay,
then
the
thing
I
wanted
to
add
to
Joanne's
description
of
the
data
and
and
quick
tour
of
those
Maps
is
for
those
of
you
who
are
going
to
take
a
closer
look
at
these
maps.
Please
be
careful
about
how
they're
laid
out
because
Greg's
laughing,
because
he's
heard
me
say
this
10
times
now,
the
legends
on
those
Maps
or
the
or
the
categories
of
different,
like
the
age
groups,
aren't
broken
down
into
equal
distributions.
A
A
How
do
you
go
from
a
30-year
group
to
a
five-year
group
and
what
are
you
representing
with
those
uneven
distributions
and
then
the
last
age
you
can
be
is
85.,
so
there's
no
I
mean
that's
I,
don't
I
won't,
say
The
Morbid
thing,
but
just
be
wary
of
that
when
you're
looking
at
these
maps
and
be
thinking
about
what
it
is
that
this
is
actually
illustrating.
It's
certainly
not
illustrating
like
an
even
distribution.
B
Yeah,
that's
for
sure,
I'm
sure
they
took
different
data
points
from
you
know
different
sources
and
I'm
sure
that's
that's
caused
it.
Yeah
Joanne
is
experiencing
some
connectivity
issues
so
we'll
we'll
see
how
she's
able
to
reconnect
in
the
meantime,
I
do
see
a
question
from
Martin.
So
please.
D
B
D
D
They're
going
to
be
looking
at
the
decisions
that
they'll
be
recommending,
you
know
changes
to
for
housing
and
land
use
with
through
the
lens
of
Public
Health
correct,
not
necessarily
through
zoning
and
distribution
in
any
of
our
normal
issues.
You
know
in
housing,
but
it's
sort
of
holistically
within
the
concept
of
public
health
right,
yeah,.
B
E
So
from
the
initial
presentation
in
September
it
was
looking
at
public
health
and
solving
those
issues
through
land
use,
because
when
you
think
about
with
regards
to
the
city
Charter,
and
how
the
Borough
president
can
make
sweeping
changes,
it
is
through
land
use.
So
it
makes
sense
that
his
interest
in
public
health
is
going
to
be
tied
to
influencing
land
use
to
solve
those
problems.
So
it's
not
ancillary.
It's
actually
a
direct
connection.
D
So
then,
we're
sort
of
charged
with
saying
we
think
that
by
changing
this
and
that
in
the
land
use
rule
book
Etc
in
CD
14
that
we
feel
that
Health
Public
Health
could
best
be
served,
but
so
it
has
to
sort
of
focus
on
that.
It's
not
sort
of
larger,
broader
issues
pertaining
exclusively
to
land
use.
It's
all
viewed
within
the
the
lens
of
Public
Health.
B
We
think
the
only
reason
that
the
only
reason
I
say
that
is
because
the
the
expansive
nature
of
of
the
data
that
they
pulled
suggests
that
they
may
have
perhaps
a
larger
Focus.
But.
D
The
data
are
great,
I,
gotta,
say
I
am
I,
am
really
really
impressed
scrolling
through
this.
This
is
just
a
fabulous
data
set
for
us
to
have.
But
again
that
was
just
my
question.
You
know
if
we
are
going
to
provide
a
response,
we
don't
say
yeah
we'd
like
more
affordable
housing,
because
we
just
want
more
affordable
housing.
We
have
to
say,
because
we
feel
that
it
will
help
the
community
from
a
public
health
aspect.
Well,.
B
Yeah,
maybe
that's
a
good
transition
to
potential
responses
and
because
what
we
have
for
you
is
is
a
table
that
that
we've
been
sort
of
tinkering
with
to
to
give
you
an
idea
of
how
everything
really
is
quite
interrelated
and
join
I
know
you
are
having
connectivity
issues
and
I
know
you
were
going
to
share
a
screen,
but
if
not.
B
E
H
Well,
thanks:
I
was
looking
at
the
scrolling
through
and
I
saw
in
the
zoning
districts.
H
It
looks
like
a
small
portion
of
the
western
part
of
cb14
that
is
west
of
Coney
Island
Avenue
there's
like
an
overlay
that
says
special
purpose
districts.
I
I
was
just
wondering
if
anyone
could
provide
any
clarity
as
to
what
what
special
purpose
district
is
and
what
what
it
means
there.
B
Oh
I
see
yeah,
that's
probably
the
Ocean
Parkway
special
purpose
District,
but
I'd
have
to
confirm
that
I
mean
generally
special
purpose.
Districts
can
have
all
sorts
of
you
know
purposes
so
to
speak,
but
usually
it's
it's
designed
to.
You
know,
focus
on
a
particularized
area
within
within
the
city,
so
trying
to
think
of
one
like
there's
a
I
think
the
Midtown
special
purpose
district
is
for
purposes
of
Broadway
theaters.
If
I
recall
correctly,
but
it
actually
Sean.
Are
you
raising
your
hand?
A
B
That's
awesome:
do
you
want
to
do
you
want
to,
you
know,
read
us
the
the
basics
of
it.
If
you
have
it
up.
I
The
special
Ocean
Parkway
District
encompasses
Ocean
Parkway
between
Prospect
Park
and
Brighton
Beach,
as
well
as
a
band
of
blocks,
east
and
west
of
the
thoroughfare.
It
was
created
in
1977
to
enhance
the
qualities
of
this
broad
landscape
Boulevard,
which
had
recently
been
designated
as
Scenic
landmark
and
the
neighborhood's
immediately
flanking
it.
The
regulations
were
intended
to
preserve
the
existing
scale
and
character
of
the
surrounding
area
and
require
large
front
setbacks
in
landscaping
for
buildings
along
the
parkway
itself.
B
Be
helpful,
that's
great
okay,
so
Stephen.
Does
that
answer
your
question
for
them
as
to
that.
B
Yes,
thank
you.
Okay,
see
the
questions.
A
I
did
have
a
question,
well
a
comment
too,
about
kind
of
going
back
to
the
conversation
about
data
and
when
and
really
Barton's
question,
but
it's
because
it's
so
early
in
the
process,
as
you
noted
at
the
beginning-
and
this
is
just
descriptive-
data
I
feel
like
a
big
part
of
our
responsibility,
is
to
help
them
see.
A
You
know,
tease
out
the
data
that
they're
presenting
to
us
with
the
more
nuanced
version
and
and
take
advantage
of
the
opportunity
to
reiterate
a
lot
of
the
stuff.
That's
in
our
district
needs
statement.
So
just
quickly
when
they
talk
about
you
know
language.
A
You
know
limited
limited,
English
Proficiency
in
districts
where
that
those
LEP
residents
speak
one
or
two
major
languages
in
that
District
I'm
thinking,
Sunset
Park,
Chinese
Spanish
versus
our
district
that
has
30
different
first
languages
that
there's
something
about
language
diversity
that
isn't
captured
when
you're
just
going
strictly
for
the
LEP
stuff,
so
just
helping
them
drill
down
on
the
context
behind
those
that
those
data
are.
You
know,
kind
of
what
the
narrative
is
about.
B
How
we
preliminarily
trying
to
structure
you
know
our
responses
to
what
we've
seen
so
far
so
join.
If
you
are
with
us
and
can
invoke
the
share
screen,
we
may
want
to
take
a
look
now
at
at
the
table
where
we're
trying
to
formulate
that
response.
E
Okay,
so
very
observant
and
pardoned
to
say
that,
yes,
we
should
be
focusing
on
you,
know,
public
health
and
how
these
conditions
in
our
district
can
be
remedied
through
land
use
and
zoning.
E
So
we,
you
know
over
the
past
two
weeks
or
so,
as
we
saw
the
deadline
for
comments
coming
up,
we
created
a
table.
E
One
thing
that
I
forgot
to
mention
is
that
when
I
say
Public
Health,
what
I
actually
mean
is
the
social
determinants
of
Health.
So
the
social
determinants
of
Health
are
conditions
in
the
environment
where
people
are
born,
live,
learn,
work,
play,
worship
and
age
and
affect
a
wide
range
of
Health,
functioning
and
quality
of
life
outcomes
and
risks.
E
All
right
so
the
title
social
determinants
of
health
and
land
use
interventions
in
Brooklyn,
Community,
District
14.,
so
for
so
one
of
the
social
determinants
of
health
is
economic
stability.
E
We
added
available
commercial
storefront
usage
secondary
to
pandemic
flight
and
in
the
column
that
moves
to
the
right
is
the
Health
and
Human
Services
healthy
people
2030,
which
basically
creates
goals
for
the
people
of
the
United
States
in
which
to
improve
their
health,
and
these
are
leading
health
indicators.
E
So
this
indicator
here
reduced
the
proportion
of
adolescence
exposed
to
Tobacco
marketing
relates
to
this
method
of
economic
stability,
so
in
a
land
use,
intervention
that
we
suggest
to
Borough
Hall
is
to
create
diverse
retail
Opera
options
in
areas
with
high
commercial
vacancy.
E
One
thought
that
we
had
was
to
expand
zoning
groups.
Zoning
group
designations
along
commercial
corridors
to
specify
use.
So
you
know
that
within
each
of
our
commercial
corridors
we
have
groups,
so
Community
facilities
are
groups,
three
and
four
ordinary
retail
is
group
six
and
then
tobacco
and
cannabis
is
actually
grouped
in
with
ordinary
retail.
E
So
in
our
narrative
we
say
that
the
coven
pandemic
created
a
surge
of
empty
commercial
storefronts.
Many
storefronts
are
recovering
rent
Rolls
by
leasing
to
smoke
shops
through
more
specific
zoning
of
commercial
groups.
I.E
expanding
group
six,
which
is
just
ordinary
retail,
to
specify
more
retail
types
along
commercial
corridors.
E
E
So
one
indicator
and
there's
a
group
of
these
reduce
the
portion
of
adolescence
young
adults
who
aren't
in
school
or
working
increase
employment
in
working
aging,
aged
people
and
increasing
the
proportion
of
children
living
with
at
least
one
parent
who
works
full-time.
E
So
it
would
be
revitalizing
manufacturing
corridors
with
local
zoning
text,
amendments
to
maximize
far
and
height,
and
limit
employee
parking
requirements
to
maximize
job
opportunities
by
designating
these
industrial
business
zones.
So
there
to
our
West.
There
is
a
corridor
of
m1-1
m1-2,
m1-1
zoning
districts
and
it
presents
an
opportunity
for
industry
in
industry,
jobs
and
traditional
transitional
jobs
for
CD4
residents.
E
And
then
we
note
here
that
these
areas
of
fully
accessible
by
the
westbound
b50
b-35
bus
and
the
F
line
again
I
I,
don't
want
to
go
ahead
and
you
know
read
all
of
the
things
that
we've
put
into
this
document,
because
I
want
you
to
get
a
sense
of
what
we
did
here,
but
here's
another
one,
so
percent
renters
household
gross,
rent,
30
or
more
of
income.
E
So,
according
to
the
existing
conditions
report
that
we
showed
you
earlier,
it's
between
48
and
64
and
then
grouped
with
that
is
another
metric
from
another
map
which
was
presents
of
overcrowded
households
more
occupants
than
rooms
between,
and
it's
between,
five
4.7
percent
and
from
the
next
column
to
your
right,
reduce
the
proportion
of
families
that
spend
more
than
30
percent
of
income
on
housing.
E
So
that's
a
social
determinant
of
Health
dash
04
by
HHS
or
the
healthy
people
in
2020
30.,
so
the
actual
metric
for
cd14
is
48.5,
which
they
pay
more
than
30
percent
of
their
gross
income
for
rent
utilities.
E
So
our
suggestion
for
Lansing
Landing,
sorry
Landon
House
how
housing
and
land
use
was
mandatory.
Inclusionary
housing
at
both
deeply
the
affordable
and
the
workforce
options
continue
to
maintain
rents
at
30
percent
of
income
on
housing
and
does
not
provide
enough
units
sizable
unit
sizes
suitable
for
affordable
housing
for
families.
So
in
our
narrative
we
say
that
the
share
of
renters
across
cd14,
who
are
rent
burden
or
spend
more
than
30
percent
of
their
income
on
rent
utilities.
Each
month
remains
High,
although
with
the
best
of
intentions,
mih
persists
in
perpetuating
this
condition.
E
E
When
we
broke
down
the
amount
of
units
that
were
in
for
affordable
housing,
it
was
nine
Studios,
21.5
percent
of
the
affordable
housing
17
one
bedrooms
or
40
percent
16,
two
bedrooms
38
and
zero
three
bedrooms,
so
we
state
that
the
breakdown
does
not
support
family
occupancy
and
we
added
that
the
mih
option
for
that
particular
development
hadn't
been
selected
at
the
time
of
the
hearing.
E
So
in
this
case
we
talked
about
asthma.
We
talk
about
life
expectancy.
We
talk
about
premature
mortality,
we
connected
with
truck
traffic,
we
connected
with
how
we
host
to
truck
route
through
truck
routes
and
one
local,
and
we
make
some
boobs
right
here
here.
We
talk
about
adult
diabetes.
So
again,
I
just
want
to
reiterate
that
this
column
here
is
from
the
existing
conditions
report
from
the
Baroque
office,
diabetes,
obesity,
Mental
Health.
We
connected
with
healthy
people,
20
30..
E
We
request
that
zoning
designations,
codify
special
purpose
areas
that
are
third
spaces
and
we're
looking
at
you
know
areas
within
the
district,
which
are
quite
scarce
that
can
be
created
as
either
green
spaces
or
can
be
outfitted
with
adult
fitness
equipment.
And
then
we
go
into
some
metrics
about
diabetes
prevention
program
and
physical
activity,
and
this
actual
concept
is
repeated
further
down
with
regards
to
where
there
are
locations
in
our
district
that
can
be
can
be
improved
to
suit
that
you
know
to
suit
that
purpose
as
a
third
place.
E
Low
tree
cover
level
four
heat
Street.
These
are
from
the
existing
conditions
report
and
then
we
talked
about
sort
of
in
compliance
and
new
development
and
not
planting
the
trees
that
they're
supposed
to
based
on
the
the
housing
code
for
the
certificate
of
occupancy.
E
So
and
like
I
said
here.
This
is
where
we
talked
again
about
a
few
places
for
public
assembly.
E
We
have
a
metric
here
about
49
live
within
work,
walking
distance,
but
that
means
51
do
not
so
we
based
on
the
the
the
fellow
from
the
fund
of
New,
York,
Odette
holtzinger,
and
a
report
that
he
did
a
few
years
ago
in
2013,
we
identified
the
sites
that
he
had
identified:
Flatbush
Public
Library
holy
instance
Church,
the
MTA
substation
they're,
learning
a
lot
by
the
Midwood
Sports
Fields,
so
on
and
so
forth.
E
As
you
can
see
around
this
Hall
and,
of
course,
Newkirk
Plaza,
so
I'm
going
to
stop
sharing
my
screen
because
I
think
you
all
kind
of
get
the
point
of
where
we
went
with
that
document
and
I'll
turn
it
back
over
to
the
co-chairs.
And
if
you
have
any
questions,
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
them.
B
Great,
thank
you
very
much
for
that
for
that
overview
and
looks
like
we
will
have
some
questions
here,
just
initially
just
to
reiterate
where
we
stand
here
with
with
this
document.
This
is
this
is
intended
as
sort
of
a
working
document
correct
something
that
will
be.
B
You
know
that
we
can
use
moving
forward
because
okay
yeah,
because
clearly,
there's
I,
don't
say
a
universe,
but
there's
certainly
many
more
issues
that
that
can
be
worked
into
this
analysis.
No
Doubt.
E
Right
because
what
we
say
in
our
color
is
that
you
know
with
regards
to
the
zoning
text,
amendments
that
are
being
proposed
by
the
Adams
Administration
and
the
the
city
of
yes,
there
could
be
more
tools
that
we
can
pull
to
apply
to
this
document
right
so
yeah.
It
is
a
work
in
progress.
It
is
fluid.
We
will
continue
to
add
to
it.
B
Great
great
okay,
so
yeah
it
does
look
like.
We
have
any
more
questions
before
we
do
show
before
we
do
so.
I
just
want
to
tell
me
in
Talisha
as
well
or
co-chair,
just
wanted
to
see
if
you
have
any
questions
or
thoughts
at
this
point,
or
should
whether
we
should
just
proceed
with
the
other
questions.
J
No
I
think
I'm
good
I
was
gonna
sort
of
add
in
the
city
of
yes
thing
that
chair
Brown
just
mentioned
she
took
care
of
that
and
I
can
I
can
go
ahead
and
pass
it
over
to
Carl
who
had
his
hand
up
first
Carl.
G
Hey
good
evening
Talisha,
thank
you
very
much.
My
question
will
be
brief.
It's
about
process
so
since
this
is
a
working
document,
I'm
just
curious
is
the
thinking
that
you
know
basically
I,
guess
every
you
know
every
subsequent
or
every
two
subsequent
land
use
committee
meetings.
G
There'd
be
a
recap
of
you
know
the
evolution
of
the
document.
Basically,
and
then
you
know
seeing
where
the
current
thinking
lies,
or
is
the
idea
that
this
is
a
working
document
and
at
some
point
in
time
the
people
in
this
committee
would
review
it
and
then,
if
there's
a
motion,
we'd
put
that
stuff
in
front
of
the
board
to
see
if
the
board
agrees
in
general,
with
the
things
we'd
like
to
advocate,
for
you
know,
that's
my
question.
Like
basically
process
foreign.
J
First
and
just
say
that
I,
don't
I,
don't
think
that
every
committee
meeting
that
will
give
an
update
on
it.
J
But
I
I
think
that
at
this
point
it's
good
if
we
sort
of
build
a
sort
of
something
that
we
can
use
in
order
to
tie
in
future
topics
that
we're
discussing
as
a
committee-
and
this
is
a
good
way
to
for
us
to
sort
of
organize
as
well
in
understanding
what
are
some
of
the
greater
needs
for
our
district
and
how
that
ties
into
again
the
city
of
yes
initiative.
J
That's
that
the
mayor
has
and
any
other
initiatives,
and
it
also
ties
in
stuff
that
we
have
going
on
locally
I
mean
including,
what's
going
to
happen
with
Newkirk
Plaza
I,
know
Sean,
that's
a
big
one
for
you,
and
also
even
if
we're
talking
discussing
African
burial
grounds
and
as
you
saw
in
the
chart
that
chair
Brown
just
introduced
and
presented.
You
know
given
with
a
building
like
1640
Flatbush
Avenue,
if
not
if,
but
when.
J
We
have
more
proposals
in
the
district
that
have
to
do
with
that,
like
what
are
some
of
the
needs,
and
we
can
sort
of
go
to
the
this
document
as
being
an
outline
in
a
framework
that
we
already
worked
on
for
things
that
will
lead
to
an
overall,
healthier
environment
for
our
district,
I
I,
don't
know
if
chair
Brown,
if
you
wanted
to
say
something
else,
you
had
your
no
okay
Sean
did
you
have
something
that
you
wanted
to
say,
or
was
it
hands
up
quick.
A
Quickly
want
to
note
that
I
did
put
the
yes,
it's
the
2017
planning
fellow
report,
that
is
now
in
the
links
and
Steve
Cohen
wins
planning.
Fellow
report
trivia
tonight,
but
we
that
you
know
and
also
I
want
Bill
cooch
to
know
that
you
know
these
reports
do
become
sort
of
useful
living
documents.
They
go
on
past
the
date
of
their.
You
know,
you
don't
just
hand
them
in.
A
We
really
do
use
this
stuff
and
that
report
I
just
sent
to
our
our
three
City
Council
Members
I'm,
sorry,
our
four
three
of
whom
supported
intro,
a
new
bill
680-a,
which
was
introduced
by
council
member
Krishnan
of
queens
and
when
I
saw
that
bill,
I
I
wrote
to
Odette
and
I'm
like
oh,
my
gosh.
It's
like
this
council
member,
read
your
report
and
then
turned
it
into
an
intro.
So
it
is.
It
is
a
bill
that
is
passed.
A
A
This
this
exercise
is
also
an
opportunity
to
remind
the
city
that
this
is
the
we
rank
59th
out
of
59
community
board
in
terms
of
access
to
Green
Space
and
with
that
legislation
this
report,
our
ability
to
weigh
in
on
it
I
just
want
to
you
know,
take
advantage
of
this
sort
of
the
opposite
of
a
perfect
storm
of
this.
You
know
this
great
dovetailing
of
things
so
read
that
report.
It's
really
good,
there's
a
bunch
of
others
on
the
website
under
projects
thanks.
J
D
I
do
indeed,
which
is
you
all
put
that
like
table
together
from
scratch,
because
I
think
it's
spectacular
I
mean
it's
basically
sort
of
retrofitting.
What
we
think
is
best
for
the
neighborhood
and
the
terminology
that
they're
requesting
and
I
haven't
read
through
the
whole
thing,
but
from
what
I
saw
I
think
it's
an
absolutely
brilliant
job.
So
are
we
as
a
board
going
to
be
expected
to
do
this
from
each
of
our
committees?
D
Sort
of
you
know
reviewing
all
the
various
other
categories
that
are
in
the
comprehensive
plan
and
then
each
committee
will
then
have
to
put
together
a
similar
table
to
submit
to
say
well.
This
is
how
we
would
like
things
to
go
say
from
you
know
our
health
and
human
services
committee
such
that
we
can
best
benefit
from
the
comprehensive
plan.
D
G
F
E
All
right
all
right
again
having
connectivity
issues
so
so
I
certainly
think
it's
an
exercise
that
you
know
committees
can
work
on,
but
you
know
just
to
preface
that
right
now
all
we
have
is
the
existing
conditions.
Your
committee
can
certainly
look
at
existing
conditions
and
see
how
you
know
what
kind
of
interventions
can
come
about,
even
if
they're,
not
land,
use
and
and
Zoning,
so.
D
E
Thanks
yeah,
so
you
know
I
I'm
just
really
curious
about
where
the
plan's
gonna
go.
We
just
have
a
report
of
existing
conditions
and
that's
why
we
felt
it
was
necessary
to
sort
of
you
know
nudge,
some
ideas
towards
Borough
Hall
to
say
Hey.
You
know
these
are
some
tools
in
your
toolbox
right
now,
and
this
is
how
we
can
solve
our
problems
and
if
you
solve
all
problems,
you
could
probably
solve
other
problems
throughout
the
borough,
but
yeah.
It's
definitely
a
good
exercise
to
think
about.
With
the
realm
of
your
committee,
absolutely
thanks.
C
Thanks
this
is
all
great,
so
thank
you
for
this.
I
was
just
wondering
if
we
were
going
to
also
be
taking
a
look
at
all
at
the
this
is
coming
from
Citywide
from
the
mayor's
office,
but
the
get
stuff
built
the
the
blast
report.
C
This
is
a
reporting,
the
the
building
and
land
use
approval,
streamlining
task
force
the
last
great
acronym,
but
they
they
just
came
out
with
that
and
that's
they
actually
came
up
with,
like
111
recommendations
to
better
streamline
housing,
land
use
approvals
of
all
of
these
pieces,
I
just
sort
of
presentation
on
on
that
last
night
and
there's
a
lot
that
seems
like
it'll,
be
coming
down
to
individual
Community
boards
and
Seeker
in
a
lot
of
different
pieces.
J
H
Okay,
with
regard
to
the
item
that
had
to
do
with
finding
jobs
for
I,
guess,
unemployed,
youth
or
or
younger
adults
and
I
guess
with
regard
to
the
nearby
industrial
areas,
do
we
have
any
information
in
terms
of
the
extent
to
which
that
those
industrial
zones
nearby
employ
cb14
residents
or
higher
locally?
And
is
there
anything
we
could
do
to
encourage
that
for
those
businesses
yeah
I'm,
just
just
throwing
that
out
there
I
guess.
H
My
second
thing
related
to
that,
just
because
I
know
that
there
were
formerly
industrial
areas
in
Gowanus
that
have
rezoned
to
provide
for
large
residential
developments.
I
guess
my
only
slight
concern
would
be
I.
Don't
want
to
I,
wouldn't
wanted
to
swade,
say
a
lot
owner,
that's
vacant
from
some
sensible.
You
know
large
Housing
Development.
That
makes
sense
because
I'm
always
in
favor
of
you
know
additional
housing
within
reason,
but
I
think
in
the
formerly
industrial
areas
are
sometimes
good
targets
for
large-scale
residential
development.
In
my
opinion,
thanks.
E
Sure,
because
I
I
sort
of
did
a
deep
dive,
so
we
in
CB
in
CD
14,
we
only
have
a
very,
very
small
portion.
Maybe
it's
only
like
two
blocks
of
manufacturing
in
our
district.
Most
of
the
manufacturing
is
to
the
west
and
in
12
and
in
eight,
so
not
a
lot
of
impact
for
us
with
regards
to
rezoning
for
housing
as
opposed
to
the
continuation
of
Manufacturing.
E
So
what
the
pro
and
I
know
we
have
no
data
on
how
many
residents
that
live
in
CD
14
are
employed
in
that
area,
which
is
why
the
recommendation
was
to
make
it
an
industrial
business
Zone,
because
then
the
buildings
can
the
the
scope
of
the
manufacturing,
like
as
you
see
in
Gowanus
and
as
you
see
in
Sunset,
Park,
can
get
a
little
bit
bigger
and
thus
employ
more
people,
and
we
would
ask
for
something
similar
to
The
Fresh
program.
E
Where
you
know,
if
you
increased
manufacturing
and
an
industry,
there
would
be
an
incentive
to
hire
locally
payroll
taxes,
so
on
and
so
forth.
So
again,
these
are
just
big
Concepts
to
solve
problems
in
terms
of
employment,
but
it
doesn't
have
a
lot
of
impact
in
terms
of
sort
of
edging
out
housing
in
cd14.
It
was
just
looking
at
the
surrounding
area
and
looking
for
opportunity.
I
hope
that
answers
your
question.
J
Anyone
else
have
anything
else
that
you
want.
A
I
would
just
encourage
you
know
if
those
of
you
taking
a
look
at
the
maps
and
especially
you
know,
jumping
off
of
barden's.
You
know
taking
a
committee's
perspective
on
the
maps
and
figuring
out,
which
ones
might
be
a
a
topic
for
discussion
and
committee.
Think
about
two.
One
of
the
things
that
I
feel
like
is
lacking
is
a
sense
of
overlay
with
the
maps
so
think
about
what,
if
we're
looking
at,
say,
asthma
rates.
What
map
would
you
want
to
see
overlaid
with
asthma
rates?
A
Maybe
we
should
be
looking
at
truck
routes
on
top
of
asthma
rates
and
and
stuff
like
that?
Just
try
to
there
there's
all
of
this
descriptive
data,
but
they're,
not
even
necessarily
well
in
some
cases,
but
they're,
not
they're,
not
suggesting
as
many
correlations
as
they
could
be,
and
then
the
other
thing
that
drove
me
a
little
bit
crazy
or
just
had
me
wanting
more.
Was
that
there's
no
change,
there's
no
change
data
so
especially
like
with
the
with
the
racial
breakdown.
A
It
would
have
been
really
useful
in
this
District
to
look
at
the
the
racial
the
percentages,
a
lot
from
2010
to
2020.
So
that
we
could
actually
see
an
illustration
of
the
huge
loss
in
the
black
population
we've
had
in
this
district
and
how
that
overlays,
then,
with
other
things
that
we're
looking
at
on
these
Maps,
so
I'm
just
trying
to
make
more
connections
that
are
being
suggested
at
this
point
and
that's
even
before
we
get
into
a
whole
bunch.
You
know
a
bunch
of
recommendations
for
the
board.
A
That's
just
making
sure
that
we're
looking
at
you
know
at
these,
through
all
of
the
frames
available
to
us
and
I
think
that'd
be
great
work
for
committees.
Thank
you.
J
I
agree:
Florencia,
do
you
have
a
question
or
comment.
K
Yeah
good
night
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
some
of
the
things
that
I
didn't
hear
but
affects
the
northern
section
of
our
community
is
like
gun
violence
and
so
also
that
the
health
care
or
the
health
clinics
that
are
within
our
area
do
have
hello.
A
K
Can
still
hear
you,
okay,
do
have
some
data
on
the
black
population
and
also
well
by
pop,
mostly
blacks
within
the
bipart
population,
where
health
is
concerned
and
the
mortality
rate
for
babies
and
things
of
that
nature.
So
just
something
to
think
about
I,
think
or
discuss.
J
Thank
you
for
that.
Florencia
Elizabeth.
I
Yeah
just
another
thing:
I
was
thinking
about
that.
I
I
have
read
through
this
report
before,
but
I
wasn't
looking
at
it
with
the
specific
eye
at
that
time
and
I
don't
think
it's
in
here
is
data
about
in-home
gas
versus
Electric,
Appliance
usage
and
so
forth.
I
There
was
a
recent
study
in
a
nycha
housing
in
the
Bronx
that
showed
that
switching
to
induction
stoves
really
improved
the
air
quality
which
can
affect
childhood
asthma
rates
and
so
forth
and
I
know
that
it's
kind
of
a
new
topic
both
like
you
know
in
Brooklyn,
in
New,
York
in
the
U.S
and
so
forth,
to
work
on
electrifying
appliances
to
create
better
in
indoor
air
conditions,
but
I
think
it
would
be
something
that
I'd
be
interested
in
seeing
information
about
percentages
you
know
within
our
district
and
what
we
and
the
borough
president's
office
in
the
city
in
general
can
do
to
help
make
these
improvements
more
accessible
to
folks,
because
I
know
there
are
large
cost
barriers
associated
with
this.
I
As
someone
who's
recently
switched
my
stove
from
a
gas
to
electric
for
this
reason
to
get
an
induction,
so
it's
very
it
was
very
expensive
in
terms
of
the
electrical
work,
but
you
know
just
it's
something:
I
think
that
you
know.
If
we
had
better
data,
we
might
be
able
to
get
better
planning
and
help
push
for
better
proposals
to
make
this
easier
to
also
help
get
those
rates
down.
I'm
going
to
drop
the
link
to
the
Bronx
study
into
the
chat
as
well.
J
Yeah
thanks
for
that
I
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
Florencia.
Did
you
have
something
else
that
you
wanted
to
say
or
is
your
hand
just
still
up
from
the
last
comment.
J
Okay,
chair
Brown,
oh.
E
I
I
just
wanted
to
respond
to
both
of
those
so
gun,
violence
and
access
to
health
care
and
daycare
are
all
part
of
the
healthy
people
2030.,
and
they
are
definitely
on
the
radar
for
this
table.
However,
right
now,
because
the
original
initiative
was
land
use,
we
couldn't
quite
find
a
solution
for
either
of
those
problems
through
land
use,
I
mean
Zoning
for
Community
facilities,
which
include
you
know.
E
Clinics
and
daycare
is
already
included
in
the
process
and
I
want
to
see
where
it's
going
to
go
with
the
city
of
yes,
most
new
construction
has
to
include
a
commit
Community
facility.
If
it
has
a
ground
floor,
you
know
space
for
a
commercial
facility
and
then
honestly,
at
the
time
that
we
have,
we
couldn't
be
creative
enough
to
fix
or
to
intervene
with
gun
violence
with
land
use
and
then,
with
regards
to
the
the
switch
from
natural
gas
to
induction.
E
I
know
that
the
city
has
an
initiative
to
phase
out
natural
gas
in
all
buildings,
whether
or
not
that
goes
through
based
on
the
lobby
of
nat
grid,
so
on
and
so
forth
remains
to
be
seen.
But
that's
also
on
the
radar
and
has
sort
of
been
touched
upon
with
land
use
and
City
Planning
and
department
of
building
initiatives,
so
we're
just
kind
of
like
hanging
out
and
waiting
to
see
where
things
develop
with
that.
But
it's
definitely
on
the
radar.
Thanks.
A
If
you
just
if
you
would
just
clarify
what
you
just
said
when
you,
when
you're
talking
about
we
and
it's
it,
was
on
the
radar
and
it
just
you,
couldn't
see
it
through
the
lens
of
land
use,
is
that
particular
we
that
you're
mentioning
the
borough
board
discussions
that
you've
had.
E
And
there's
no
specifically
in
the
creation
of
the
table.
Okay,
you
know
I
mean
going
through
all
of
the
you
know,
the
the
maps
that
were
in
the
plan
of
existing
conditions
and
then
putting
them
in
the
table
and
then
looking
at
them
through
healthy
people,
20
30,
it
didn't
seem
like
there
was
a
solution
right
now
for
those
issues.
Okay,
thank
you.
I
Yeah
I
just
wanted
to
note.
Yeah,
definitely
excited
about
seeing
how
those
plays
out
with
regards
to
electrification
I
believe
that
that
law
only
applies
to
new
construction.
So
there's
not
necessarily
anything
about
older
construction,
so
I
think
it
would
be
useful
and
I
know.
Like
I
said
it
might
be
a
little
early
early,
just
to
make
sure
that
that's
on
the
dp's
radar
for
when
they
keep
on
these
reports
to
just
you
know,
try
to
get
some
information
of.
I
If
we
can
see
the
differences
between
those
not
just
in
individual
levels,
like
I
know,
you
can
monitor
your
own
air
quality
inside,
but
how
it
affects.
You
know
the
asthma
rates
and
so
forth
in
an
aggregate
sense,
and
you
know
nearby
housing
if
you
get
like
if
I
live
by
something
that
gets
very
a
lot
of
electrification
instead
of
more
gas.
Does
that
affect
me
whether
or
not
you
know
my
specific
individual
residence
has
different
issues.
I
J
K
You
know
I
was
hoping
that
that
would
be
earlier
part
of
the
conversation
rather
than
later
just
saying.
Thank
you.
J
J
B
So
as
we've
been
talking
about
the
table
that
chair
Brown
has
presented,
and
briefly
we
mentioned
the
the
covering
narrative
that
Sean
Campbell
has
put
together,
so
just
just
to
sort
of
wrap
it
up
in
terms
of
again
it
being
the
working
document,
and
you
know,
there's
there's
certainly
more
work
to
do
here,
but
in
terms
of
next
steps
and
I'll
turn
this
over
to
Sean
in
terms
of
what
your
intention
was
to
to
submit
these
materials
at
this
time,.
A
Well,
the
the
form
from
from
the
borough
president's
office
has
to
be
done
by
by
Friday,
so
I
was
just
going
to
extrapolate
from
this
conversation.
I
was
taking
notes,
I've
got
the
chat
copied
and
it's
all
recorded
in
case
I.
Forget
those
those
questions.
I
meant
to
have
it
right
in
front
of
me:
we're
we're
pretty
they
they
weren't,
they
weren't
deep
they're.
Just
was
there
anything
in
the
data
that
surprised
you
is
there
anything
that
you
think
is
lacking?
A
Is
there
anything
you
think
is
misrepresented,
so
I'm
just
gonna
respond
and
it's
all
along
the
different.
You
know
they
ask
those
same
four
questions
for
all
of
their
categories:
there's
demographic,
there's,
Health,
there's
socioeconomic
there's,
land
use,
Transportation,
environmental
neighborhood
conditions,
and
so
you
know
I
will
fill
in
where,
where
we
feel
that
there
wasn't
a
a
good
map
for
of
you
know
drilling
down
better
on
some
Education
data
or
and
and
I.
You
know,
I'll
I'll
note
that
the
categories
aren't
evenly
split
and
I
and
I'll.
A
You
know
I'll
review
for
any
surprises,
but
I
think
that
we
kind
of
have
a
sense
of
our
own
Community
and
so
I
don't
know
if
there
was
any
shocks,
it's
just
a
matter
of
how
they
correlate.
A
So
that
has
to
happen
at
the
end
of
this
week
and
then
I
defer
to
the
to
the
chair
and
the
co-chairs
on
when
you
think
the
it
sounds
like
you
feel,
like
the
the
the
this
thing
the
grid
can
go
to
to
Borough
Hall
that
it's
been
reviewed
in
committee
and
it
can
go
as
a
first
draft
to
Borough
Hall.
Or
did
you
wish
to
wait
for
further
reviewer,
so
I
defer
to
you
on
on
the
next
step?
A
For
that
and
then
you
know,
I
also
defer
to
you,
but
also
to
other
community
co-chairs
on
whether
anybody
wants
to
pick
up
this
ball
and
run
further
with
it
in
terms
of
perspective
from
other
committees
to
just
keep
this
as
a
sort
of
living
work
in
progress
throughout.
You
know
this
term
this
you
know
our
meeting
season
and
turn
something
into
the
Borough
president.
A
At
the
end,
you
know
in
June,
or
something
like
that,
whether
whether
they're
inviting
that
or
not
I,
don't
think
they'll
turn
away
work,
that's
being
done
at
a
community
board
level
so
for
their
consideration,
that's
kind
of
how
I
had
it
mapped
up
in
my
head.
B
Okay,
yeah
I,
appreciate
that,
and
you
know,
chair
Brown,
we'll
probably
want
to
speak
to
this
as
well.
So
I'll
turn
it
over
to
you
as
well.
E
We'll
see
what's
in
in
front
of
me,
so
let's
get
his
feedback
and
then
I'll
give
my
comments.
Okay,.
H
I
mean
possibly
a
a
minor
point,
but
just
in
terms
of
incomplete
stuff
on
the
that
that
was
provided,
I
noticed
on
there's
a
there's.
There
was
a
slide
on
total
number
of
school
seats
needed
that
was
page
96
of
the
presentation
and
the
whole
eastern
part
of
Brooklyn
is
like
not
included
on
the
Legend
So.
H
It's
unclear
if
that
was
just
skipped
over
or
if
they're
saying
that,
there's
no
need
for
additional
K-8
seats
for
the
entire
eastern
part
of
Brooklyn,
so
I
think
that
should
be
clarified
and
if,
for
whatever
reason,
they
didn't
collect
data
on
all
that
that
you
swath
of
Brooklyn
I,
don't
know
how
effective
this
map
is.
I
mean,
maybe
it's
somewhat
effective
for
the
neighborhoods
that
was
were
considered,
but
it
was
kind
of
disappointing.
If
that's
the
case
for
the
rest
of
us,
hey.
B
Okay,
thank
you
before
before
we
get
to
chair
Brown
I
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
assembly
member
Ryan
Cunningham
is
in
attendance
as
well
just
like
to
ask
the
assembly
member,
if
like
to
say
something
or
we'll
just
proceed
with
our
conversation.
At
this
point.
L
Hey
Craig,
hey
Sean
Heitz
here
just
stopped
in
I'm,
obviously
heading
back
to
Albany
new
board
meetings
being
in
person
as
a
board
member.
So
just
stopping
in
to
listen
and
get
a
pulse
on
the
neighborhood,
see
what's
going
on
and
see
for
ways
that
we
can
fight
with
you
in
Albany
I
would
love
to
connect
with
this
board
off
of
this
committee
on
particularly
about
the
governor's
house
and
plan
at
some
point.
I'll
be
here
just
to
listen
and
to
learn
for
you
guys.
Thank
you
so
much
for
hosting
tonight.
B
And
thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much
for
checking
in
okay,
then
I
guess
we'll
then
proceed
to
chair
brand
to
continue
the
conversation.
E
Okay,
so
with
regards
to
next
steps,
I
I
really
think
that
we
have
some
really
smart
smart
people
on
this
board
and
I
think
that
our
voice
is
extremely
valuable
at
the
very
beginning
of
the
process
of
building
this
comprehensive
plan.
So
what
I
would
like
to
do
is
send
the
table.
It
has
a
cover
letter
that
basically
says
that
it
is
fluid
and
it'll
work
in
progress,
and
it
will
continue
to
be
updated
and
submitted
to
that
office.
E
So
what
I
would
like
to
do
is
send
it
as
it
is,
but
I'm
also
going
to
add
this
really
smart
suggestion
from
Florencia
with
regards
to
setting
aside
community
space
with
regards
to
land
use
and
Zoning
I'll
figure
out
the
wording
for
for
Community
youth
centers,
that
can
you
know,
facilitate
reduction
in
crime
and
increase.
You
know
perhaps
youth
employment,
but
what
I
would
like
us
to
do
is
send
the
table.
E
I,
don't
think,
there's
anything
wrong
with
having
context
I'm,
sorry
having
contact
with
Borough
Hall,
often
and
early
and
often
so,
we'll
send
our
comments
through
the
Forum
we'll
send
the
table
as
it
is,
with
the
addition
from
Florencia
and
then
as
committees
get
together
and
discuss
this
item
and
come
up
with
items
that
they
want
to
add
to
it.
E
We
will
grow
and
we
will
continue
to
send
it
because
I
would
prefer
they
I,
don't
think
they
will
work
in
a
silo,
but
I
I
think
we're
really
smart
people
and
I
think
we
have
a
lot
to
offer
and
a
lot
of
nuance
about
our
own
District
that
can
be
applied
throughout
the
borough.
So
that's
where
I
stand
with
that
I
hope
you
support
the
sending
of
the
table
as
it
is
and
and
and
we'll
just
keep
building
on
it.
B
Thank
you
for
that
yeah
and
so
I
guess
at
this
point.
Perhaps
if
we
can
gather
consensus
on
this
question,
we
can
proceed
in
that
fashion,
I
think
Sean
and
you're
in
the
note
you're
suggesting
that
perhaps
we
send
it
on
Friday
allow
a
few
more
days
if
anyone
else
would
like
to
provide
any
further
input
and
then
and
then
we'll
send
it
out
as
our
as
our
first
submission
on
the
subject.
So
you
know,
do
we
need
to
take
a
vote
on
that?
A
Deferring
to
Joanne
on
this
really
but
Joanne's
rule
of
thumb
in
the
committees
has
been
consensus,
is
the
name
of
the
game
right.
B
Okay,
all
right
so
maybe
I'll
throw
it
out
to
the
group
here.
If,
if
everyone
is
in
support
of
this
approach,
I'll
ask
it
in
the
negative:
if
there
are
any
folks
who
have
any
questions
or
concerns
in
proceeding
in
this
fashion,
please
please
let
us
know
either
raise
your
hand
or
I'll
open.
It
looks
before
here.
B
B
I
think
we
do
have
consensus
in
terms
of
this
approach.
Thank
you
all
for
that,
and
so
I
think.
The
intention
then,
will
be
to
submit
this
first,
his
first
package
to
to
the
Borough
president
on
Friday
and
in
the
meantime,
if
anyone
else
has
any
Vote
or
please
we
can
forward
that
to
to
Sean
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
that's
inputted
into
the
final
product.
B
Okay,
just
I
know
we
have.
That
was
our
agenda
item
for
this
evening.
The
only
other
thing
I'd
like
to
mention
and
John
you
mentioned
at
the
top
that
bill
cooch,
is
in
attendance.
One
of
our
fellows
I
know.
B
We
haven't
had
a
chance
to
talk
in
more
detail
about
his
work,
so
I'll
just
say
we'll
just
say
who
loves
him
collectively
at
this
point,
unless
bill
at
least
you'd
like
to
say
hello
to
all
of
us
and
and
then
I,
don't
know
what
the
intention
there
in
terms
of
the
timing
and
seeing
a
little
bit
more
about
about
your
work.
But
you
just
like
to
say
a
few
words
before
we
wrap
up
here.
M
Sure,
hello,
everyone,
nice
to
be
with
you
tonight
I,
was
interested
to
listen
in
and
hear
everything
that's
going
on
and,
as
you
likely
know,
I'm
looking
into
a
lot
of
information
on
on
housing
in
the
community
district
and
yeah
developing
a
lot
of
data
and
trying
to
work
that
into
a
form
that
is
digestible,
readable
and
presentable
to
you
all
so,
hopefully,
in
the
coming
weeks
in
the
next
month
in
February,
hopefully
I'm
getting
to
a
point
where
I
can
at
least
have
some
more
drafts
being
passed
along
to
you
all
to
take
a
look
at
on
Kevin
and
ask
questions
on
as
I
work
towards
a
final,
a
final
product
which,
like
some
of
the
other
reports
we
saw
tonight,
I
hope
it's
still
useful
enough
to
you.
M
It's
lasts
for
a
while
and
you're
still
using
it
down
the
road.
So
thanks
everyone
I
appreciate
it.
B
Okay
and
thank
you
both,
so
we
look
forward
to
that
in
the
in
the
near
future.
All
right,
I
believe
that's
everything
on
our
list.
I'll
turn
it
back
over
to
solicit
just
to
make
sure,
but
to
see,
if
there's
anything
further
that
that
we
should
cover
this
evening.
B
All
right
so
I
get
at
this
point.
We'll
conclude
so
again,
thank
you
all
for
attending
this
evening.
It's
been
a
great
conversation
and
you
know
we'll
be
looking
for
that
submission
on
Friday.
