A
The
time
is
now
6
30
and
the
July
20th
2023
meeting
of
the
development
review
board
for
the
city
of
odniewski
has
been
called
to
order.
The
drv
is
a
quasi-judicial
residence
volunteer
board
that
upholds
standards
and
procedures,
as
defined
in
the
widowski
zoning
ordinance.
We
review
and
make
decisions
on
subdivisions
site
plans
conditional
uses,
variances
and
appeals
of
the
zoning
administrator's
determinations.
A
We
have
authority
through
Vermont
state
statute
and
ensure
due
process
protect
the
rights
of
applicants,
as
well
as
the
rights
of
the
public
to
participate
in
proposals
for
Land
Development
within
the
city.
Appeals
and
decisions
made
by
this
board
are
heard
by
the
Vermont
Superior
Court
environmental
division
and
the
Vermont
Supreme
Court.
My
name
is
Matt
basowitz
I'm,
the
chair
of
the
drb
Harlan
Miller,
is
our
vice
chair.
Elsie
Goodrich
is
our
secretary.
A
She
is
not
here
tonight,
other
current
members
right
now:
Erin
guyette
who's,
not
here
David,
weisberger
who's,
not
here
Jordan,
Matt
and
Emily,
Morse
votes
and
recommendations
are
always
cast
in
closed
delivery.
Obsession
that
will
take
place
as
soon
after
the
hearing
takes
place
as
possible.
We
ask
anyone
participating
in
tonight's
hearings
to
swear
or
affirm
that
all
testimony
is
entirely
the
truth.
Under
the
pains
and
penalties
of
perjury,
we
will
ask
you
to
say:
I
affirm
before
testifying
online
Zoom
participants
will
be
asked
to
testify.
After
all,
in-person
testimony
is
complete.
A
B
B
A
With
the
hearing-
okay,
perfect
so
ironically,
next
up
on
our
agenda
is
changes
to
the
agenda.
Do
we
hear
or
anybody
want
any
changes
to
the
correct
agenda
as
it
is
currently
laid
out
hearing
none?
We
will
move
on
to
our
next
item,
which
is
approving
our
previous
meetings.
Minutes
I
will
be
recusing
myself.
I
was
not
at
the
last
meeting,
but
are
there
any
changes
that
anybody
would
like
to
see
made
to
the
previous
meetings?
Minutes
I
have
no
comments.
No
no
I
will
entertain
a
motion
to
approve
those
minutes.
A
C
A
All
those
not
in
favor,
please
say
no,
all
those
abstaining,
I
am
abstaining.
Okay,
next,
up
on
our
agenda
is
election
of
officers.
Every
year
our
chair,
Vice,
chair
and
secretary,
are
elected
to
one-year
terms,
and
we
are.
We
do
typically
that
in
July,
so
it
is
now
time.
I
don't
know
if
I
should
be
I.
B
Think
you
can,
if
you
as
the
current
chair,
we
typically
allow
the
the
current
chair
to
facilitate
this.
This
process.
You
can
look
to
nominate
as
a
slate
or
individually,
depending
on
on
how
you
all
feel
comfortable
as
I
mentioned
earlier.
Elsie
who's,
not
here
tonight,
is
our
serving
was.
She
is
our
current
Secretary.
She
did
indicate
that
she
is
interested
in
serving
again
as
secretary.
So
okay.
C
B
B
A
A
B
A
In
favor
of
keeping
the
current
slate
for
one
more
year,
please
say:
aye
raise
your
hand,
bye,
bye,
okay
and
that
carries
unanimously
all
right.
Thank
you
very
much.
Certainly
next
up
is
our
one
substitutive
item
on
our
agenda,
which
is
a
public
hearing
for
I,
believe
a
change
of
use
at
133,
Elm,
Street
and
Eric.
If
you
want
to
give
us
some
background
before
we
yep
jump
on
that.
B
Yeah,
so
this
is
a
conditional
use
request
for
a
change
of
use
or
a
I
guess,
a
change
of
use
for
a
part,
a
portion
of
the
existing
building
at
133
Elm
Street,
our
our
current
regulations,
our
land
use
regulations
have
a
use
table
that
outlines
a
variety
of
uses.
It's
clearly
not
an
exhaustive
list
so
because
we
can't
come
up
with
everything,
so
we
do
have
a
provision
in
our
regulations
that
says,
if
something
is
not
included,
it
can
come
forward
as
a
conditional
use
before
the
development
review
board.
B
The
applicant
tonight
is
requesting
to
establish
a
commercial
kitchen
for
the
purposes
of
of
catering
or
yeah.
Basically,
a
commercial
catering
Kitchen
in
a
portion
of
the
space
at
133,
Elm
Street,
133
I'm,
as
you
may
know,
is
about
a
hundred
thousand
square
foot
industrial
building.
It's
been
an
industrial
use
for
many
many
years.
It's
in
an
industrial
zoning
District
catering
kitchens
is
one
is
not
included
as
a
use
in
our
use
table.
The
next
closest
thing
we
have
is
a
restaurant,
which
is
not
permitted
in
that
zoning
District.
B
So
that's
why
I
advised
the
applicant
to
come
forward
tonight
as
a
conditional
use,
so
it
could
potentially
be
a
be
a
permitted
use
in
that
location.
So
the
applicant
is
here
tonight
and
I
believe
there's
a
couple
of
folks
online
as
well.
So
that's
just
a
general
overview
of
why
we're
here
tonight
and
and
what
we're
here
to
discuss
do.
D
D
B
D
A
D
So
I
have
been
a
commercial
caterer
now
just
under
a
year,
but
I
am
growing
very
very
quickly.
So
it's
a
good
pain
problem
to
have,
but
it's
required
me
to
have
my
own
space.
I
live
in
Winooski,
so
jagranetti
is
our
my
commercial
property.
He
went
up
and
he's
like
hey.
We
have
a
spot
and
it's
ideal
because
it's
close
to
home.
For
me
it's
in
an
area.
It's
really
simple
for
me
to
use
it'll.
Allow
me
to
get
in
and
use
my
time
frame
wisely.
D
So
this
way
I
can
cater
to
the
public,
to
cater
to
my
meals
being
able
to
have
things
on
time
and
ready.
So
this
way,
I'm
not
always
falling
behind
the
current
space.
That
I'm
in
is
great
I'm.
Only
able
to
be
there
three
hours
a
day
certain
days
a
week
and
I
can
get
nothing
done
or
I'm
there
all
day
on
Sundays
for
about
14
to
15
hours.
D
So
this
gives
me
a
little
bit
more
usage
of
my
time
in
managing
my
expectations
and
managing
my
customers.
Encanto
kitchen
is
an
authentic
Puerto,
Rican
catering
spot
I
feel
that
like
bringing
it
to
Winooski
Hometown.
For
me,
it
adds
to
the
diversity
that
we
don't
have
or
that
we
don't
show
any
substance
for
and
got
your
kitchen
has
grown
tremendously.
Today,
I
had
a
catering
event
with
Ben
and
Jerry's
that
it's
supposed
to
go
to
two.
D
We
ended
up
at
1
30
because
we
had
everything
already
eaten
up
and
taken
away,
and
it's
a
great
feeling
to
have
when
you
see
that
happen
right
now,
I've
also
rented
spot
from
the
winnuti
catering
kitchen,
but
again
it's
getting
on
a
calendar
being
able
to
to
be
there
to
do
it
and
it's
not
always
feasible,
especially
when
you
have
people
that
are
like,
oh
well.
We
have
this
and
we
have
that
and
we
I
can't
cater
to
everybody.
D
Obviously,
but
I
would
love
to
maximize
my
time
and
be
able
to
get
out
there
for
people.
So
that's
my
project,
the
projects
for
the
site
in
itself,
it's
a
portion
of
the
kitchen.
It
allows
me
a
vendor
access.
It
allows
me
a
ramp.
It
allows
me
to
be
able
to
just
have
it's:
not
a
restaurant
I.
Don't
want
a
restaurant
I'm.
Sorry,
it's
not
the
brick
and
mortar
I'm.
Looking
for
but
again
what
we
do
is
we
offer
currently
one
meal
a
week.
D
D
So
no
delivery
purposes
at
all.
Every
delivery
agency
wants
a
portion
of
the
delivering
charges.
Problem
with
that
is
is
that
they
tie
into
your
intellectual
property,
so
the
traffic
won't
be
to
my
website,
it'll
be
through
them.
I
am
sorry.
It's
mine,
I
made
I
built
this
baby
and
everything
else.
Not
that
I
don't
mind
sharing,
but
it's
again
I'd
rather
have
it
come
through
me
rather
than
go
through
somebody
else,
paying
those
fees,
so
it's
easier
for
them
to
come
pick
up
and
my
clients
right
now.
D
D
No
actually
so
my
catered
events
are
normally
two.
What
we
do
is
we
offer
one
meal
a
week
out
to
the
public,
where
again
they
were
able
to
order
online.
We
put
out
one
meal,
it's
not
like
a
restaurant,
it's
not
like
a
takeout.
It's
a
set
meal
that
we're
that's
there.
If
they
want
to
buy
it,
they
want
to
purchase
it.
They
just
book
in
going
I
will
love
that
they
click
on
the
box.
It's
there.
The
meal
gets
made,
it's
all
clocked
so
like.
D
A
D
So
again,
it's
setting
up
the
time
frames
to
be
able
to
do
that,
but
I've
I've
had
a
lot
more
people
asking
for.
Do
you
have
any
other
days
of
the
week
other
than
Saturday
so
again,
I'm
listening
to
my
clients,
my
customers
I
would
love
to
cater
to
that
need
so
and
that's
kind
of
where
that
is.
But
this
is
the
space
in
itself.
D
That
works
for
me,
so
the
part
to
the
right
is
literally
what
I'm
looking
for
for
the
station
itself,
where
it
says
office
space
that
would
be
more
my
office
space
and
then
next
to
it
would
be
a
dry
storage
area,
so
we're
not
really
doing
any
major
Renovations
in
that
spot.
What
we
want
to
do
is
remove
that
Center
wall
and
create
it
just
a
long
workspace
station.
An
open
work
plan,
the
fryer
convection
oven
range
top,
would
be
basically
on
the
right
hand,
side.
D
The
hood
would
be
there
would
go
over
there.
The
rate
the
drop
ceiling
currently
will
be
lifted
up,
and
then
the
hood
would
go
out
through
the
ceiling,
because
it's
a
wood
frame
so
again
going
out
through
the
ceiling.
Those
are
the
only
changes
the
onto
the
left
is
going
to
be
a
three
base,
sink
that
we're
putting
in
to
meet
with
the
health
inspection,
the
guidelines
for
it.
D
The
fridge
and
the
freezer
currently
are
mobile.
They're
nothing
set
in
stone,
there's
nothing
in
the
works
right
now
for
development
of
putting
up
a
freezer.
Everything
that
I
do
is
at
use.
So
again,
nothing
is
being
purchased
to
go
off
and
be
stored,
it's
being
used
almost
immediately.
So
there
is
no
overhead.
There
is
no
waste
on
our
side,
for
it.
A
D
Have
no
problem
opening
it
up
to
the
community
I
I
love
when
you
see
and
I
know
that
there's
a
lot
of
need
and
everything
else
again
as
long
as
they
understand
that
there
is
no
cooler
and
freezer
space,
that's
available
them
using
the
time
and
the
space
I
have
no
problem
opening
it
up
to
other
people.
It's
not
on
it's
not
the
priority.
My
list,
obviously,
but
again,
I'm
not
opposed
to
going
off
and
helping
somebody
else
out.
D
The
joys
is,
is
that
I
have
lived
in
Winooski
for
about
20
years.
My
kids
went
to
school
here.
I
have
seen
this
place
grow.
The
one
thing
the
Latin
population
is
so
underrepresented
and
I
will
love
to
bring
that
to
the
Forefront.
By
doing
this,
I've
had
conversations
with
the
city
manager's
office.
I
would
love
to
get
more
involved,
bring
the
food
over
connect
with
people,
bring
it
to
a
different
level
and
using
that
as
a
doorway
and
just
the
means
for
people
to
understand,
Puerto
Rican
cooking
is
Creole.
Cooking.
D
D
We
use
this
like
people,
don't
understand
that
the
same
vegetables
we
use
are
the
same
that
are
used
in
our
African
culture
and
I'm,
getting
more
and
more
people
that
want
to
learn
what
I
would
love
to
do
is
just
open
up
like
learn
how
to
cook
learn
how
to
do
something
different
and
again,
we
all
talk
about
hybrid
meetings.
I
have
no
problem.
Doing
that.
D
D
Has
been
a
lot
of
their
upbringing,
what
we
do
what
we've
done,
Caitlyn
walked
into
the
community
center
yesterday
and
all
of
a
sudden
I
was
like
hey
Caitlin,
it's
like
it's
there.
It's
family
I
can
go
up
and
down
the
block
and
say
hi
to
people
and
it's
like
hey.
Did
you
hear
and
they're
like?
Oh
no,
you
really
want
to
do
that.
I'm,
like
that's
the
goal,
and
it's
like.
Let
us
know
we
want
to
be
there.
I've
had
working
in
the
support
of
wanting
to
come
over.
D
A
A
D
Aromas
that
I
have
that
come
out
of
the
space
is
nothing
to
the
point
of
being
pungent.
It's
when
you
walk
in
through
the
doors
you'll
see
you
smell
it
more.
The
most
that
anybody
will
ever
smell
is
a
fryer
going
because
that's
what
most
of
it
is,
but
again,
if
I
can
do
it
in
an
indoor
space
kind
of
like
the
community
kitchen
and
nobody's
complaining
about
it
or
they
don't
have
a
problem
with
it.
D
Yeah
yeah,
it
has
to
be
on
the
roof
yeah,
so
fire
and
city
inspectors
want
a
state
and
city
Fire
Marshals
needed
to
go
through,
but
again
I.
They
were
there
on
site
because
of
the
projects
with
Cabot.
So
what
I
did
was
I
am
sorry.
I
am
a
proactive
person.
If
this
is
to
go
forward,
what
do
I
need?
What
do
we
need
to
do?
How
does
how
is
it
going
to
impact
me
just
where
I
know
how
it
impact
the
community?
D
B
A
No,
no
members
of
the
public
online
right
now
and
they
haven't
raised
their
hand,
no
chime
in
with
anything
all
right.
Well,
hearing
that
and
having
no
more
questions.
We
really
appreciate
you
being
here.
We
will
talk
and
go
into
the
library
session,
probably
tonight
we're
getting
through
this
meeting
pretty
quickly.
So
we
I
are
we
taking
votes
to
end
hearings.
