If
you
haven't
presented
something
before
us,
we
we
do
recommend
that
you
come
to
the
center
lectern,
where
you
can
be
recorded
and
give
your
name
and
your
address
and
in
just
a
few
minutes
we'll
we'll
get
into
the
applications,
but
do
do.
I
have
a
motion
on
on
minutes
here.
Previous
meetings,
mr
chairman,
I.
A
A
C
A
B
B
A
A
A
E
F
F
D
F
I
I
brought
some
presentation
drawings,
which
might
help
understand
the
property
a
little
bit
more.
They
weren't
as
good
as
I
I
mean.
I
think
that
there's
still
some
tweaking,
but
for
the
most
part,
that's
in
a
nutshell,
I
mean
I
think
that
there's
definitely
some
improvements
that
can
be
done
as
far
as
we
wanted
to
have
those
little
cupolas
on
the
roof
a
little
bit
bigger.
They
came
out
a
little
smaller
on
presentation,
and
I
think
that
there's
still
a
little
bit
of
tweaking
with
the
colors
that
we're
still
working
okay.
A
F
A
F
A
A
F
A
G
D
A
A
F
A
A
Did
is
there
a
civil,
your
is
this
an
architectural
site
plan
that
you're
working
on
that
you
did
and
then
you
have
a
civil
guy
who
will
be
working
correct
alongside
you,
okay
yeah.
We
noticed
a
corner
setback
thing
there.
I
guess
that's
that's
for
sight
lines,
it's
actually
a
15
by
30
triangle
in
the
bottom
right
corner.
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
D
F
G
E
A
D
G
G
All
right,
the
first
concern
is
that
gaston
road
on
that
side
of
the
richland
does
not
exist,
okay
and
it
when
we
bought
them.
I
stated
this
in
there
when
we
bought
the
property,
we
thought
the
gaston
road
existed
and
the
homework
wasn't
done
by
whoever
did
the
plot
plan
and
the
road
was
decommissioned.
Sometime
in
the
70s
by
the
jacobs
family
and
so
on
his
plan.
He
shows
150
foot
right
away
for
gaston
road
which
doesn't
exist,
and
he
also
shows
it
on
one
of
the
other
plants.
Sure.
A
G
Okay
and
there's
an
easement-
and
this
is
another
question
I
had
there's
an
easement
which
is
about
approximately
10
feet
wide,
maybe
15
feet
wide,
where
the
ditch
is
and
then
there's
dirt
and
trees
on
each
side
of
it.
It
takes
up
about
40
feet.
One
of
my
questions
is:
where
does
the
building
line
start?
G
A
Yeah,
it
typically
would
be
from
the
legally
the
property
line
and
where
the
pin
where
the
pins
are
and
then
you
would,
you
would
you'd
measure
over
from
that
it
wouldn't
have
anything
to
do
with
ditches
or
roads
or
anything
like
that.
It
would,
it
would
be
measured
and,
of
course
the
zoning
will
dictate
that
and
I'm
not
sure
we
even
know
yet
exactly
what
the
use
would
be,
because
it
could
be
10
feet
or
it
could
be
30
feet.
But
but
that
does,
I
think,
does
that
answer
your
question
then.
G
A
A
A
A
G
A
A
G
A
G
A
A
J
J
D
A
A
F
So
I
was
actually
just
trying
to
reach
out
to
him
to
find
out
some
find
some
questions
or
answer
some
questions,
but
I
think
in
general
the
idea
of
having
some
tree
strips
along
the
property
line
just
as
a
buffer
for
everybody,
is
going
to
work
out
fine.
I
don't
think
that
that
will
have
a
problem
with
that.
A
F
F
A
F
A
A
D
A
K
Sir,
that's
for
you
to
determine
yes,
okay,
so,
mr
chairman,
I
would
and
members
of
the
design
review
board.
I
would
welcome
some
degree
of
transparency
because
I
don't
actually
know
whether
I
have
a
comment
or
not,
because
I
don't
know
who
is
on
the
board
at
this
meeting,
and
so
when
I
at
the
appropriate
time,
if
you
can
enlighten
us-
and
I
think
it
would
be
courteous
to
the
residents
of
the
city
to
know,
for
example,
whether
ms
knowles,
who
used
to
be
on
the
board,
is
still
on
the
board.
K
There
was
a
movement
to
appoint
laura
blessing
thomas
at
the
motion
and
a
vote
to
appoint
laura
blessing
thomas
at
the
city
council
meeting,
and
I
frankly
find
it
a
little
astonishing
that
we
started
this
meeting
without
any
clarification
as
to
who
is
on
the
design
review
board
of
city
bacon
yeah.
So
so.
K
It
might
be.
I
don't
know
whether
what
my
comment
should
be
because
I
don't
know
whether
you
know
we've
written
a
letter
to
the
city,
not
the
design
review
board.
So
I
apologize
for
having
to
do
this
here,
but
the
circumstances
forced
me
to
do
that
that
we
think,
if
miss
blessing
thomas
has
been
appointed
to
this
board.
We
think
it's
an
illegal
appointment
unlawful
because
there
was
no
information
provided
on
her
qualifications.
K
J
A
L
A
L
L
K
K
K
It
would
be
positive
for
the
relations
with
the
residents
going
forward
to
have
these
things
be
open
and
transparent,
rather
than
hidden
and
sort
of
in
the
middle
of
the
night.
That's
just
not
a
good
feeling
and
to
start
a
meeting
without
even
making
notice,
without
thanking
her
without
saying
anything
about
it.
It
just
shows.
What's
behind
it,
it
leaves
us
all
feeling
that
what's
behind
this
is
not
good,
because
her
dismissal
in
this
instance.
A
A
L
K
Given
you
the
answer
from
something,
I
I'm
going
to
make
a
statement
that
if
the
the
applicants
who
are
making
this
application
and
subsequent
applicants
are
entitled
to
know
that,
there's
a
dispute
and
in
my
view
the
dispute
will
be
litigated
and
that
I
find
that
the
behavior
of
the
city
council,
in
this
case,
in
particular
in
its
response.
Because
there
is
a
very
specific
section
of
the
ordinance
7.1.7
c
yeah.
K
Thank
you.
So,
on
the
basis
of
these
issues,
I
think
it's
important
also
for
the
other
members
of
design
review
board
to
know
that
it
is
possible,
and
we
will
allege
that
in
litigation
that
the
city
is
engaging
in
retaliatory
behavior
and
intimidation
to
show
members
of
the
design
review
board
that
if
they
disagree
with
the
city,
they
will
be.
A
Yeah
our
time
our
time's
up,
we
have
five
minutes.
You
have
five
minutes
and
thank
you
for
your
comment
now,
we'll
we'll
continue
to
ask
if
there
are
others
who
again
we're
expecting
folks
to
speak
with
regard
to
this
application,
this
particular
application
not
not
seeing
anyone
we'll
go
ahead
and
entertain
a
motion,
and
we
can
have
some
more
discussion
if
need
be.
B
B
A
B
H
D
A
A
H
H
A
M
A
D
M
I'm
the
chairman
of
the
aiken
corporation
and
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
jackie
corporation,
the
vice
chairman
of
the
aiken
corporation,
mr
pat
cunning,
was
here
a
few
minutes
ago
and
had
to
leave
the
treasurer
of
the
aching
corporation
is
jason
raymond,
who
is
here
and
the
secretary
of
the
corporation.
The
other
officer
is
sam
erv,
who
is
also
here.
A
M
M
M
And
then
I
know
that
there
have
been
issues
raised
with
the
church
by
possibly
parking
in
the
parkways
across
their
market,
which
I'm
personally
hoping
that
that
that
never
happens
it
could
protect
those
parkways,
but
at
any
rate,
there's
a
need
there
and
first
presbyterian
church
also
they're
right
across
the
street
from
me.
So
I
see
how,
when
they
have
special
events,
people
are
parking
in
the
parkways
and
public
safety
comes
along
and
gives
them
tickets
and
they're
unhappy
about
that.
So
there.
D
M
D
M
Issues
that
have
to
be
resolved,
such
as
potential
lease
of
the
property
with
the
city
or
other
interested
owners,
so
that
is
all
still
in
the
development
phase.
We
do
not
have
that
finalized
at
this
point.
It
is
obvious,
though,
that
the
to
us
at
least
that
the
house
that's
on
it
needs
to
be
demolished.
M
I
think
the
committee
is
already
aware
of
the
situation
with
mr
mcgee.
He
is
unable
to
move
it
and
remains
unable
to
to
move.
It
is
my
understanding
he
has
largely
stripped
porches
chimneys,
the
other
things
from
the
house.
At
this
point.
It
appears
to
me,
at
least,
as
is
a
layman-
I'm
certainly
not
an
architect
or
a
builder,
but
I
don't
believe
that
there's
any
viable
use
for
the
house
at
this
point,
so
we
would
we'd
like
to
demolish
it.
I
M
There
that
is
not
written
in
stone.
We
are
not
definitely
committed
to
that
plan.
It's
just
a
concept
plan,
but
it
shows
the
potential
of
the
property.
At
this
point
and,
of
course,
depending
on
how
this
goes,
we
may
want
to
have
less
parking
spaces
more
green
space.
I
know
sam
herb
has
looked
at
some
ideas
about
possibly
doing
some
green
pavers
type
things
in
it
to
make
it
more
ecologically
friendly
and
where
water
permeates
through
it.
So
there's
still
a
lot
of
unknowns
about
it,
but
our.
M
A
M
When
this
first
came
up,
I
approached
mr
mcgee
to
see
whether
or
not
he
was
interested
in
solving
some
of
the
lumber
of
the
property
or
anything
else.
That's
in
the
house
that
he
might
be
able
to
use,
as
you
know,
he's
already
got
moved
one
other
house
over
to
his
property
on
williams
street.
Maybe
it
could
be
used
with
that
and
also
the
possibility
of
of
him
in
his
business
actually
doing
the
demolition
of
the
property.
M
I've
asked
him
to
give
me
a
price
for
that,
and
he
has
not
done
that
at
this
point,
but
I
think
he
remains
interested
in
it,
and
certainly
we
would
welcome
him
or
anyone
else
who
can
can
use
some
things
from
this
from
this
house
in
some
other
way
and
and
you
and
I
have
taught
mr
chairman
there's
another
group,
I
believe
in
town
who
who
takes
old
lumber
and
maybe
some
might
be
able
to
make
some
other
use
out
of
it,
so
any
type
of
reuse
of
it.
Certainly,
would
you.
M
M
A
B
M
A
H
A
A
H
A
I
think
I
think
he's
not
totally
satisfied
with
this
layout.
In
fact
I
I
can.
I
can
see
that
you
may
you
may
need
those
to
adjust
it
some,
so
you
can
get
the
planning
strip.
It's
got
to
be
on
the
on
the
property
and
not
on
the
right
away.
There's
a
sidewalk
out
there,
but
my
recollection
is
that
they
require
some
separation
between
parking
and
street.
A
A
N
A
N
Commissioners,
my
name
is
kelly.
Cornelius
addresses
160
lynn
drive
in
aitkin.
I
have
a
question.
I
have
a
couple
questions
is
this
part
of
the
newbery
street?
That
was
just
voted
on
to
be
conveyed
to
a
developer,
and
I
was
referred
to
this
this
body
at
the
the
most
recent
meeting
of
the
amdc,
and
I
was
told
by
mr
o'brien
in
reference
to
my
question
about
the
planning
commission.
N
N
N
N
A
There
there
is
tonight:
okay,
yeah,
you're,
you're,
commenting
right
now,
okay
and
you
know-
and
we
appreciate
you're
doing
that
so
do
you
have
it's
not
related
to
the
conveyance
that
was
done
a
while
back,
but
but
this
is
a
separate
parcel
that
that
is
directly
behind
peace.
Lutheran
church,
I
guess,
is
some
town
houses.
Do
you
know
where
the
property
we're
talking
about?
Is
I.
N
A
It's
not
it's
not
directly
related
to
that.
It
primarily
has
been
a
long-standing
need
for
the
downtown
churches
that
that
that
have
to
park
halfway
on
halfway
off
these
parkways,
and
they
often
ask
the
city:
could
they
pave
some
of
the
parkways,
and
this
actually
alleviates
that
that
need
for
at
least
one
church,
and
maybe
three
so.
A
A
Well,
this
one
is:
this
is
not
the
the
right
application,
but
the
garage
parking
garage
plans
will
come
back
to
us
in
a
month
or
so
they're
still
working
on
them.
They're
taking
comments
from
the
public
and
from
us
from
at
least
two
work
sessions
and
they've
gone
back
and
retooled,
and
I
haven't
seen
them
lately,
but
they'll
be
back
in
a
month
or
so
with
public.
You
know
at
public
hearings.
A
This
is
not
a
parking
garage,
but
the
advantage
to
parking
garages
is
that
they
eliminate
the
need
for
a
lot
of
parking
lots,
and
you
know
that
that's
a
sort
of
the
way
they
do
it
in
charleston.
I
guess
so
now.
We've
had
some
any
other
comment
on
this,
mr
and
ali.
Will
you
will
you
make
sure
it's
on
the
parking
lot?
A
K
So
thank
you
for
that.
I'm
sorry!
It's
luis
ronaldini
638
magnolia.
I
don't
think
I
did
that
correctly,
the
first
time
so
the
the
question
I
have
is
because
I
didn't
see
it
anywhere.
Is
this
poor
old
house
a
on
the
aiken
register?
Is
it
a
contributing
structure?
Is
it
a
non-contributing
structure
and
do
we.
D
K
A
A
You
yeah
thank
you
very
much
and
I
think
that
the
building
has
been
vacant
and
unoccupied
for
what
we
say,
eight
or
ten
years,
maybe
longer
than
that
and
and
unable
to
be
sold.
The
property
was
only
sold
through
this
many
years,
and
so
we
attempted
as
you
you
know,
the
city
attempted
to
work
with
mr
mr
mcgee
to
relocate
it
and
he
did
everything
he
could
and
but,
except
for
some
trees
in
the
way
would
have
been
able
to
do
that.
