Mr

A
E
F
G
Thank
you,
chair,
we'll,
be
hosting
a
walk
and
talk
in
the
glass
Forum
area
on
October,
8th
from
9
A.M
to
12
p.m.
The
starting
location
will
be
at
2901
Taylor
Street.
So
if
you
live
in
that
area,
please
come
out
because
we
want
to
hear
from
you
that
area
what
you
would
like
to
see
in
the
community
and
address
any
key
issues
that
prevent
that
Community
from
moving
forward.
A
A
J
Each
speaker
wishing
to
address
the
council
shall
be
recognized
only
at
the
microphone
provided
for
that
purpose.
Each
speaker
May
address
the
council
only
upon
matters
within
the
legislative
and
quasi-judicial
authority
of
the
council.
Please
limit
your
remarks
to
three
minutes.
Unless
permission
is
given
for
additional
time,
you
may
not
be
permitted
to
use
any
vulgar
or
obscene
language.
J
The
use
of
the
floor
by
persons
addressing
the
council
should
not
be
used
to
personally
attack
or
denigrate
others.
The
chairs
prohibited
from
recognizing
any
person,
neighborhood
association
or
organization
to
speak
during
the
non-agenda
matters
portion
more
than
twice
in
the
30-day
period
and
persons
wishing
to
May
address
the
council
only
once
per
day.
A
B
This
cost
thousands
of
dollars
six
to
ten
thousand
dollars
and
I
was
told
that
I
was
on
a
sewer
line
with
several
others
who
knew
you
know
who
would
even
know
to
ask
such
a
question.
You
might
have
enough
awareness
when
you
buy
a
property
to
ask
if
it's
on
septic
or
if
it's
on
sewer
line.
But
nobody
would
ask.
Are
you
on
a
communal
sewer
line
and,
of
course
those
lines
have
become
obsolete.
B
So
here's
the
thing
all
the
problems
I
have
that
I
was
having
were
because
the
sewer
line
I
share
with
other
properties
is
broken
about
80
yards
beyond
my
property
line.
Nowhere
inside
of
my
property
line
do
I,
have
a
leak,
any
presence
of
sewage
or
any
break.
In
my
sewer
line,
the
Integrity
of
my
Plumbing
has
always
been
and
remains
intact,
but
then
your
public
works
department
got
involved
and
suddenly
I'm
being
cited
for
illicit
discharge
and
illegal
dumping.
B
The
ordinance
they
say
that
I'm
in
violation
of,
is
designed
to
totally
put
the
onus
on
its
citizens.
So
I
was
cited
to
appear
in
judge
Petey's
Court,
where
representatives
from
Public
Works,
along
with
the
plumbing
inspect
vector
and
based
upon
this
ordinance,
the
judge
and
the
city
attorneys
summarily
dismissed
me
and
my
attorney
under
the
duress
of
threatening
me
several
times
with
condemning
my
property
and
they
determined
that
the
sole
responsibility
falls
on
me
to
repair
this
problem.
This
whole
situation
was
created
by
the
city
of
Chattanooga.
B
There
were,
there
was
total
absence
of
compassion
or
any
empathy
from
the
court
or
the
public
works
department
for
a
problem.
Not
of
my
making
but
by
bad
engineering,
some
80
or
90
years
ago
by
the
city
of
Chattanooga,
I
was
given
time
restraints
to
comply,
or
my
very
nice
property
would
be
condemned.
So
the
result
of
the
court
order
is
a
life-altering
amount
of
money.
B
Thirty
five
thousand
dollars
and
I'm
expected
by
the
city
to
Bear
the
entire
cost
of
this
to
fix
a
problem
caused
not
by
any
irresponsibility
or
negligence
on
my
part,
but
caused
totally
by
the
city
of
Chattanooga,
and
you
know
just
because
some
government,
some
because
government
creates
an
ordinance
or
a
law,
doesn't
automatically
make
it
fair
or
right.
I
have
two
last
points
to
make.
If
I
may,
sir.
A
A
C
A
K
L
That's
totally
fine
I
want
to
talk
about
the
importance
of
third
places.
A
third
place
is
somewhere
that
isn't
work
and
isn't
home
cafes
clubs,
churches
even
bars
and
libraries
count
as
third
places.
This
concept
was
coined
by
Ray
Oldenburg,
who
described
them
as
anchors
of
communities
where
relationships
are
formed
through
spontaneous
conversation,
art
and
interactions
in
the
US.
We've
almost
completely
lost
third
places
in
his
book
bowling
alone,
Robert
Putnam,
the
sociologist
noted
this-
has
been
in
a
steady
decline
for
decades.
L
Dropping
Club,
memberships,
Church
attendance
Etc,
but
the
reasons
for
these
are
complex
as
a
society
we're
not
as
homogeneous
and
our
religious
beliefs
anymore.
There's
a
role
technology
is
definitely
playing,
but
there's
also
a
role
largely.
This
is
largely
perpetuated
by
car
dependent,
Urban,
swirl,
all
cities,
big
and
small,
used
to
have
densely
populated
downtowns
people
experience
chance,
encounters
euclidean
zoning,
segregated
housing
from
shopping.
Those
places
slowly
died
out.
Companies
tried
to
fill
this
void
with
malls
as
the
new
town
squares,
but
online
shopping
has
actually
taken
that
to
task
as
well.
L
We've
lost
many
gathering
places
in
third
spaces.
We
do
have
are
now
car
dependent,
they're,
convenient
change
like
Starbucks,
which
are
mostly
consumer-centric
businesses
modeled
after
on-the-go
on
the
on-the-go
identity.
We've
become
good
third
places
that
encourage
people
to
spend
time
and
hang
out
for
hours
are
hard
to
come
by,
but
when
you
legalize
mixed
use,
housing
and
Zoning
with
housing
and
commerce
together,
foot
traffic
can
support
these
places.
These
places
often
encourage
organic
events
like
block
parties,
yard
sales
and
barbecues
technology
has
changed
the
way
we
View
Community.
L
There's
no
doubt
about
that,
but
I
don't
think
anything
can
replace
the
need
for
organic
in-person
connections
that
we
get
from
these
third
places.
I'm
excited
for
the
Broad
Street
project,
I'm
excited
for
the
third
places
we
have
right
now,
like
Ross's,
Landing
and
I'm
excited
every
time.
You
make
a
decision
towards
ugc
zoning
because
I
see
that
happening,
but
we
need
to
change
the
default
setting.
L
Let's
get
rid
of
mandatory
parking
minimums,
let's
make
mixed-use
zoning
the
default
and
those
who
wish
to
exclude
and
segregate
they
should
be
the
ones
having
to
apply
for
special
conditions
and
permits
without
walkable
communities.
Third
places
cannot
Thrive
and
third
place
is,
are
where
people
from
different
social
strata
interact
and
having
strong
relationships
with
someone
in
a
higher
Social
strata
from
you
is
one
of
the
best
Pathways
out
of
poverty.
L
C
C
His
name
is
Mr
Anthony
fierce
he
we
had
an
event
last
week
where
someone
gave
us
a
a
watcher.
I
asked.
Could
we
use
the
dolly?
He
spoke
up?
No,
no,
but
that
dolly
was
I.
Thought
was
for
the
community,
so
I'm
not
out
there
trying
to
change
I'm
trying
to
change
the
community
for
the
better
when
I
don't
have
any
help
from
him.
That
means
I,
don't
have
no
help
at
all
and
when
they
look
at
me,
they
come
to
me
it's
like
on
the
material
of
the
bunch.
C
So
if
you
all
could
speak
to
him
or
who
tell
me
who
I
need
to
send
to
speak
to
him,
we
need
that
done
bad
out
there,
because
all
the
tenants-
and
he
was
out
there
before
before,
but
they
said,
he's
and
well
he's
really
not
doing
good
he's,
not
nothing
to
me
but
saying
no
and
I
I.
Don't
take
no
kindly.
You
know
when
I'm
when
it's
the
good
yeah.
So
that's
what
I'm
here
today
for.
H
H
G
M
M
So
so
for
about
a
month
now,
I've
been
seeing
this
topic,
but
no
idea
about
what
the
proposed
change
is
to
the
Tif
policies
are
so
it
maybe
that's
something
you
could.
You
could
have
some
discussion
about,
but,
however,
yesterday
Jermaine
Freeman
made
a
presentation
to
the
idb
and
mentioned
a
couple
of
things
that
I
think
is
about
to
come
to
you
once
the
attorney.
Does
the
red
line
version
a
couple
of
comments
on
the
fees
we
support?
M
The
fee
increase
the
maximum
term,
the
your
wording
now
says
typically
15
years
and
we've
done
five
tips
and
none
have
been
for
15
years.
We've
done
four
for
20
years
and
the
latest
one
for
the
stadium
was
for
30
years.
So
we
need
to
to
either
follow
what
we
have
or
change
it
and
I
propose
some
wording.
That
would
say
that,
if
we're
going
to
exceed
15
years
that
there
need
to
be
findings
adopted
explaining
why
the
longer
period
is
necessary.
M
M
So
another
thing
I
think
is
coming
forward
to
you
is
including
residential
projects
which
currently
you're
not
allowed
to
do
in
your
Tif
policies
generally
and
and
I
know
we
have
an
affordable
housing
thing.
I
think
this
certainly
is
worth
looking
at,
but
concerns
I
would
have
were
getting
so
much
interest.
M
We're
probably
about
to
get
our
third
application
this
year
for
a
regular,
Tiff
and
I
know
that
in
the
past
there
have
been
a
couple
of
developers
off
of
Main
Street
who
have
sort
of
explored
a
residential,
Tiff
and
they've
ended
up
doing
the
the
projects
without
the
tip.
That's
the
ideal.
We
want
housing,
we
want
development,
we
also
want
the
tax
base
and,
let's
remember
that,
we're
in
a
time
of
abundance.
