Athens Planning Commission September 3, 2020
A
A
If
not
I'll
go
ahead
and
make
a
motion
to
accept
the
minutes,
is
there
a
second
second?
Thank
you
all
in
favor
aye,
that's
unanimous!
There
are
no
cases
today,
so
we'll
move
ahead
with
our
communications
of
the
2040
comprehensive
plan
directed
by
or
presented
by
mr
paul
logue
good
afternoon.
Mr
loeb,
do
you
want
to
go
ahead.
B
Sure,
thank
you.
Let
me
let
me
bring
up
my
presentation
if
I
can
a
whole
bunch
of
things
open
on
my
desktop
here.
A
And
for
our
audience,
we'll
go
ahead
with
like
about
20
minutes
of
presentation
from
mr
logue
today
and
I'm
sure
we're
going
to
have
a
few
more
as
we
go
along
in
the
subsequent
planning
commission
meetings,
whenever
you're
ready,
paul,
okay,
yeah.
B
It's
on
my
desktop
and
the
share
screen
is
no
there.
It
is
great.
B
And
can
everybody
see
that
yes,
okay,
so
we
talked?
We
of
course,
apologies
for
the
planning
commission
meeting
two
weeks
ago
when
the
power
went
out
in
my
neighborhood
and
halfway
through
my
presentation,
the
only
time
that
has
happened
in
the
the
the
zoom
era.
So
I
apologize
for
that.
Thank
you
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
suspend
this
meetings
plan
or
this
planning
commission
meeting
discussing
this
in
more
detail.
B
I
covered
some
of
the
initial
things
in
the
beginning
a
couple
weeks
ago,
but
just
a
little
bit
of
background,
we're
we're
due
to
update
our
comprehensive
plan.
The
last
one
was
adopted
was
wrapped
up
about
15
years
ago.
B
Typically,
you
you
want
to
update
and
review
comprehensive
plans
on
a
20-year
basis
and,
while
you're
going
through
that
20-year
term,
you
want
to
kind
of
ideally
take
a
look
at
what's
already
been
done
and
see
if
you
need
to
evaluate
as
well.
Of
course,
you
continue
other
planning
endeavors
as
a
community,
so
you
try
to
when
new
new
planning
endeavors
are
going
forward
in
the
next
20
years.
Hopefully,
we'll
be
reflecting
on
the
comprehensive
plan
to
help
build
in
that
those
plans
comprehensive
plan.
B
Just
like
I
said
it's
a
comprehensive
document.
It
is
it's
an
attempt
to
try
to
pull
a
whole
host
of
issues
together
into
one
a
uniform
document
to
try
to
as
best
we
can
meet
a
lot
of
different
needs
all
at
the
same
time.
B
Our
plan
is,
it
does
reflect
on
existing
plans
around
our
community.
Many
of
them
are
city-related
plans,
but
also
the
university's
master
plan.
You
cannot
the
athens
county
economic
development,
council's
planning
process,
the
county
plan,
and
things
like
that,
so
we're
cognizant
of
those
as
we're
going
through
this
process,
who
we
just
some
basics
here
we've
been
working
on
this
plan
for
about
two
years
now
started
with
visioning
back
in
march
of
2018
that
we
did.
B
We
started
doing
some
public
meetings
and
workshops
through
2018
and
into
mid-2019
with
when
in
which
we
started
drafting
the
document
had
that
document
wrapped
up
in
2020
and
then
we've
been
taking
a
little
bit
slow
since
we
we
went
into
pandemic
mode,
didn't
wanna
start
pushing
things
forward.
Of
course,
a
lot
of
community
members
as
well
as
I'll
speak
for
myself.
B
Our
our
minds
were
really
scattered
for
a
while
there,
and
it
didn't
feel
appropriate
to
me
to
be
talking
about
asking
planning
commissioner
city
council
to
look
at
a
comprehensive
plan
and
think
about
that.
When
there's
a
lot
of
uncertainties
going
on
as
well
as
just
people
had
a
lot
of
their
minds
were
focused
on
different
things.
There
right
now
we're
looking
at
we're
wrapping
up
public
feedback
on
the
plan.
There
was
a
survey
that
was
distributed
several
weeks
ago.
It
is
still
available
for
people
to
comment.
B
I
did
put
a
date
on
there
saying
that
public
comment
would
expire
on
the
end
of
I
think
august
21st.
B
However,
people
have
been
asking
and
I've
still
been
receiving
email
feedback
from
people
and
as
long
as
we're
kind
of
in
review
mode,
I'm
going
to
continue
to
accept
comment
and
feedback
on
the
plan
have
gotten
some
positive
feedback.
Of
course,
there's
people
who
have
have
questions
about
issues
within
there
and
there's.
B
There
are
some
concerns
about
things
very
typical
and
some
people
just
giving
me
correction
on
some
typos,
which
is
also
really
appreciated,
and
I
think
this
is
kind
of
where
the
we
were
last
week
or
two
weeks
ago
when
my
power
went
out,
but
I
think
these
are,
if
nothing
else,
these
are
the
really
important
from
a
high
level,
bird's
eye
view
for
a
planning
commission.
B
These
are
the
key
things
that
were
identified
through
this
plan
that
are
really
we
need
to
be
considering
for
for
our
community,
we
need
to
diversify
the
the
athens
economy.
We
are
historically
and
today
heavily
reliant
on
ohio
university
and,
of
course,
that
is
there's
a
lot
in
question
there.
Right
now
with
what
that's
going
to
look
like
over
the
next
five
to
ten
years,
I
would
think
we
are.
We
don't
have
a
lot
of
room
to
grow
within
the
existing
footprint
of
our
city.
B
We
are
pretty
well
developed,
we're
also
challenged
by
hillsides
and
floodplains.
Our
community
is
desiring
more
renewable
energy,
moving
towards
sustainable
development
patterns
to
try
to
reduce
our
carbon
footprint.
B
We've
done
a
lot
of
public
art
and
preservation
efforts
over
the
last
several
years
that
has
been
very
well
received
and
the
the
community
would
like
to
see
more
public
art,
more
historic
preservation,
more
things
along
those
lines
to
to
really
showcase
athens.
B
There
we're
seeing
the
heritage
college
of
medicine
kind
of
being
an
anchor
in
that
that
area,
as
well
as
the
college
of
engineering
and
then
medical
as
we
move
further
west,
the
community
is
really,
as
the
we
heard,
a
lot
about
the
need
to
be
an
inclusive
community,
making
sure
that
athens
is
a
place
where
people
can
feel
that
they
can
call
it
home,
making
sure
that
it's
a
place
where
people
can
see
themselves
reflected
in
it
and
say
that
they
want
to
live
there.
B
The
other
big
takeaway
is
that
our
housing
needs
are
not
being
met
in
athens.
We
we
don't
have
affordable
housing
at
decent
price
points
for
people
who
are
looking
that
unless
you're
you
can
buy
it
and
then
invest
a
lot
of
money
into
a
rehab
project.
B
We
don't
offer
a
lot
of
condominiums
townhouse
style.
Things
like
that
for
people
we
do
have
housing
needs
are
generally
being
met
for
off-campus
student
housing,
there's
actually
a.
I
think,
availability
of
housing
for
undergraduate
students
right
now,
based
on
ohio
university
situation
and
that
that-
and
of
course
you
know,
impact
of
the
high
university
will
reflect
on
the
greater
community
as
we're
moving
forward.
B
B
Sure
so,
when
we,
when
we
started
the
plan,
there
was
through
our
there's,
several
key
themes
or
topics
that
emerged
through
it.
When
we
did
our
visioning
for
this
for
the
planning
process
back
in
2018,
we
tried
to
take
what
we
heard
through
the
visioning
process
and
break
that
down
into
several
different
topics.
B
So
the
plan
includes
topical
issues,
and
that
also
includes
looking
at
neighborhoods
and
corridors.
So
there's
like
land
use
issues
within
what
the
for
one
of
the
first
topics
we
looked
at
was
history,
culture
and
what
we
call
artistic
and
creative
spirit.
B
These
are
kind
of
some
of
the
several
key
recommendations.
From
that
that
section
I
can
go
into
considerable
detail
on
them,
but
for
purposes
of
the
planning
commission,
we
can
kind
of
keep
it
a
little
bit
a
little
bit
higher
level.
Some
key
things.
I
think
that
we
we
noted
were
there
is
a
desire
for
the
preservation
of
brick
streets.
B
B
We
we
want
to
see
a
better
coordinated
arts
calendar
and
and
making
sure
that
that
information
is
integrated
into
our
city.
Apps.
B
There's
desire
for
a
formalized
funding
process
for
public
art
efforts
to
make
sure
that
there
is
on
an
annual
basis,
obviously
our
budget's
very
complicated
right
now,
but
that
we
do
have
a
line
item
that
would
support
public
art.
B
One
of
the
bigger
things
we
looked
at
was
looking
at
mount
zion,
which
is
there's
a
lot
going
on
with
mount
zion
right
now
and,
of
course,
the
athens
armory
and
then
southeast
ohio
history
center
to
try
to
develop
some
sort
of
what
was
termed
a
heritage
square
for
that
northern
block
or
two
of
court
street
to
try
to
create
something
there,
trying
to
leverage
all
three
of
those
facilities
into
a
bigger
package,
maybe
to
to
draw
for
a
small
convention
and
conference
type
business.
B
All
those
spaces.
If
they're,
once
they're
fully
formed,
would
have
a
lot
of
opportunity,
there
there's
a
there's,
a
boutique
hotel,
very
close
to
that
area.
Right
now
and
a
second
boutique
go
to
hotel.
I
believe
the
planning
commission
approved
a
couple
years
ago,
so
I'll
move
on
to
the
next
section,
which
was
our
housing
and
neighborhoods,
and
this
isn't.
This
is
looking
at
just
kind
of
the
a
more
general
view.
B
B
So
a
lot
of
there's
a
lot
of
issues
that
we
try
to
unpack
in
there
within
that
we're
looking
at
strategies
or
recommending
strategies
to
incentivize
universal
design
for
for
new
housing
stock,
were
our
housing
code
is
tied
directly
to
the
ohio
basic
building
code,
and
so
we
cannot
mandate
requirements
above
and
beyond.
B
What's
in
ohio
basic
building
code,
however,
we
could
look
at
strategies
to
incentivize
something
like
universal
design
or
senior
housing,
or,
ideally,
both
that
could
be
used
through
tax
incentive
programs
such
as
tiffs
and
and
we've
already
looked
at
some
of
those
ideas,
as
well
as
zoning
flexibility,
subdivision
regulations,
flexibility.
Things
like
that
to
try
to
encourage
the
types
of
housing
that
we
need
in
our
community
also
recommending
that
we
conditionally
permit
accessory
dwelling
units
within
r1
zones.
B
Older
older
people
who
are
who
might
want
privacy
but
also
want
to
be
close
to
family
people
who
are
have
a
disability,
especially
as
they
get
older.
They
too
want
some
autonomy,
as
as
they
become
adults,
but
they
also
need
support
services
from
family
or
potential
caregiver,
and
then
there's
also
an
opportunity
for
homeowners
in
athens
to
potentially
leverage
some
of
that
to
help
with
affordability,
collect
potentially
collect,
rent,
there's
also
what
we
heard
from
people
and
we
don't
have
a
great
solution
to
it.
B
That
is
where
there's
a
lot
more
desire
to
be
close
to
where
things
are
available,
close
to
bike
paths
close
to
walking
close
to
public
transit,
close
to
public
facilities
close
to
the
the
events
that
are
that
are
on
ohio,
university's
campus
as
a
general
rule,
there's
very
little
housing
for
people
who
want
to
live
close
to
that
area
unless
they're
undergraduate
students
at
the
university
and
so
looking
at
ways
to
to
integrate
some
new
housing
into
the
uptown.
B
Don't
have
great
solutions
on
what
that
would
look
like
at
this
point,
just
just
stating
that
we
need
to.
We
should
be
thinking
about
how
incentive
incentives
and
zoning
tools
could
be
used
to
to
get
some
of
that
to
happen.
B
There's
also
just
some
basics
about
the
needs
for
undergraduate,
especially
with
rentals,
for
to
make
more
better
access
for
potential
tenants
to
understand
the
rental
units
that
they're
looking
at
what
kind
of
code
violations
might
might
have
experienced
in
the
past,
so
that
they
can
help
make
more
informed
decisions
about
before
they
sign
a
lease.
B
As
we
know-
and
I
me
things
might
be
a
little
bit
different
now,
but
typically
a
lease
is
signed,
sometimes
12
months
or
24
months
in
advance
of
occupancy
and
so
giving
them
a
little
bit
helping
them
to
make
better
choices.
Upfront
and
or
informed
choices,
I
think
would
be-
is
a
reasonable
thing
and
there's
a
lot
of
data
that
the
code
office
already
maintains.
B
That
last
bullet
point
point,
I
think
that's
important
to
note.
I've
had
a
couple,
people
ask
why
that's
in
there
it
says
limit
new
apartment,
construction
to
three
bedroom
units
or
less.
That
came
from
some
best
practices.
I
observed
from
some
other
college
towns
around.
The
us
state
college
was
a
really
good
example
of
that,
and
I
think
it
was
clemson
clemson
south
carolina
yeah,
the
the
point
being
there
that
we
have
a
lot
of
our
newer
units
in
athens
that
came
up
over
the
last
10
years.
Many
of
them
have
a.
A
B
Room
a
central
kitchen
and
five
bedrooms
each
with
a
full
bath
in
it
or
four
bedrooms,
each
with
a
full
bath
in
it.
That
makes
a
lot
of
sense
from
scaling
from
a
developer's
standpoint.
Of
course
they
can
maximize
some
rents.
However,
when
there's
a
downturn
in
a
say,
enrollments
are
dropping
or
people
don't
want
to
live
with
four
or
five
other
tenants.
B
Those
units
sometimes
might
be
completely
empty
and
there's
no
option
for
a
three-person
family
to
rent
that
there's
no
desire
to
they.
They
can't
afford
that
type
of
rent.
There's
there's
just
a
lot
of
wasted
space,
and
so
some
communities
were
moving
towards
new
construction
being
at
a
three-bedroom
unit
or
less
as
the
rule.
B
That
way,
if
there
is
a,
is
a
downturn
in
the
economy
or
if
there's
a
change
in
the
economy
where
you're
you
have
growth
and
you
have
people
moving
into
your
community
that
you're
creating
rental
units
that
that
are
designed
for
people
of
any
age,
any
demographic,
any
economic
status,
not
just
for
college
students,
so
I
think
that's
an
important
one.
B
I
don't
think
we
would
see
a
lot
of
change
into
the
future,
but
I
think
at
least
you
know
we
don't
build
a
lot
of
of
new
units
as
a
and
we
probably
won't
be
building
too
many
in
the
next
couple
years.
B
That
being
said,
being
smart
about
the
way
that
the
units
are
built
so
that
they
can
there's
more
flexibility
with
who
the
potential
occupant
can
be
seems
like
a
reasonable
thing
for
the
city,
moving
forward
to
the
next
topic,
that
was
economic
development,
key
recommendations
in
there,
of
course,
making
sure
that
we
are
aware
of
and
trying
to
utilize
economic
development
incentives
that
already
exist
under
state
law.
We
are,
we
are
a
competitive
community
or
we
need
to
be
a
competitive
community.
B
We
need
to
find
ways
to
create
and
draw
people
to
athens
to
to
have
set
up
new
businesses.
There's
a
lot
of
advantages.
There
are
a
lot
of
incentives
out
there.
Historically,
historically,
we
haven't
tapped
into
a
lot
of
them,
in
my
opinion,
we're
trying
to
to
look
at
some
of
those
right
now.
Our
economic
development
council
has
been
incredibly
helpful
to
guide
us
through
that,
and
just
you
know,
being
positioned
so
that
we
we
can
attract
new
development
and
new
and
new
jobs
in
our
community
is
really
important.
B
Another
key
recommendation
is
having
free
wi-fi
throughout
the
community.
That's
a
existing
problem
today,
because
so
many
people
in
our
community
are
taking
classes
online.
The
public
school
system
is
online.
There's
there's
wi-fi
problems
all
over
a
lot
of
people,
don't
have
good
access
to
it
and
so
trying
to
find
a
way
to
deploy
municipal
wi-fi,
that's
a
great
opportunity
to
get
people
out
and
about,
but
also
being
able
to
communicate
on
a
daily
basis
and
then,
as
we
go
through
it.
B
Of
course,
we
have
corridor
specific
recommendations,
next
topic,
sustainability
and
energy.
A
lot
of
this
was
there
was
a
lot
of
desire
for
sustainability
and,
as
the
planning
commission's
aware,
we
do
have
a
sustainability
commission
that
that
helps
with
a
lot
of
this
too.
B
I
think
one
of
the
key
ones
to
really
take
away
was:
we
are
going
to
be
deploying
there's
a
the
carbon
fee
that
sopek
that
pool
of
money
is
starting
to
fill
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
and
we're
looking
at
some
options
with
how
to
deploy
more
solar
in
athens.
I
think
that's
a
key
part
of
it.
There's
also
desire
for
more
outdoor
recreation
within
our
community,
and
I
know
terry
moore
from
arts
parks
and
recreation
that
that's
a
goal
she
has
as
well.
B
B
So
one
of
the
key
things
I
think
with
outdoor
recreation
to
point
out,
it's
not
the
draft,
didn't
actually
mention
it,
but
the
the
final
draft
should
include
this
is
a
focus
on
how
to
better
utilize
the
hawking
river
as
an
outdoor
recreation
resource
within
athens.
It
is
historically
not
been
utilized
as
a
as
a
high
quality
resource
for
recreation,
so
trying
to
find
ways
to
better
utilize.
B
A
river,
I
think,
is
key:
there's
a
lot
of
partners
that
would
have
to
be
involved
with
that,
of
course,
the
army
corps
of
engineers,
the
hawking
river
conservancy,
the
city,
the
county,
et
cetera,
so
things
like
that
would
be
would
be
key
moving
forward.
B
We
also
have
the
you
know:
continued
implementation
of
the
athens
sustainability
action
plan
and
recommendations
from
the
sustainability
commission,
they're
they're,
continuing
to
work
on
a
lot
of
issues.
The
planning
commission
was
just
working
with
them
on
solar
zoning
last
week
and
they
are
a
terrific
resource
for
for
the
city
on
that
topic.
A
A
Okay,
why
don't
we
go
ahead
and
start
there
with
our
next
meeting
so
that
people
can
kind
of
digest
this
thing
as
we
go
along
take
their
time
a
little
bit?
Let's
go
ahead
and
move
on
to
our
reports
and
see
paul.
Why
don't
we
give
your
throat
a
little
rest
here
and
david?
Why
don't
you
go
ahead
and
start
yours
good
afternoon.
C
Everybody
I
just
wanted
to
to
note
that
the
next
planning
commission,
which
I'm
meeting,
which
is,
I
believe,
the
17th
of
this
month-
I'm
going
to
have
a
wanted
to
bring
back
the
harold
avenue,
platt
and
the
reason
we're
doing
that
is
because
we're
also-
which
is
my
fault.
I
didn't
realize
this-
we're
also
dedicating
some
right-of-way
from
the
appellant
to
the
city
and
planning
commission
is
going
to
need
to
make
a
recommendation
to
city
council
to
accept
or
not
the
the
right-of-way
for
that
piece
of
property
and
and
that's
actually
on
harold
avenue.
C
So
I
wanted
to
make
sure
you
you
guys
were
aware
of
that.
That's
coming
back
to
planning
commission
as
well
as
we'll
talk
to
talk
with
the
law
director
and
the
final
plat
for
the
harold
avenue
we
need
to.
We
need
to
have
a
approval
on
that
and
that
actually
needed
a
public
hearing.
So
we
would
do
a
public
hearing
next
meeting
and
then
make
a
decision
on
the
final
plot
for
a
harold
avenue.
A
Thank
you,
mr
riggs.
Any
questions
for
david.
A
Okay
paul.
Are
you
ready
sure.
B
Thank
you.
This
is
two
and
a
half
hours
into
zoom
calls
for
the
morning
so
straight
so
I
appreciate
the
break
there.
Rj
just
a
couple
items
at
the
last
meeting
or
several
meetings.
I've
been
mentioning
age-friendly
athens,
county
planning.
That
is
continuing
that
is
ongoing.
As
we
speak,
we've
had
had
a
lot
of
meetings
on
that.
We
just
had
a
board
meeting
or
an
executive
meeting
at
the
11
o'clock
hour.
B
We
are
working
on
a
survey
we
expect
to
go
live
in
november
with
incorporating
all
the
domains
of
that
that
I'm
co-chairing
the
housing
committee,
along
with
shauna
bolin
for
my
university
to
look
at
how
to
how
to
have
age
friendly
housing
in
athens
county.
So
we've
got
several
people
involved
with
that
as
well.
Council
president
chris
neisley's
assisting
on
that
committee
as
well,
the
survey
should
be
coming
out
in
november.
I
believe,
is
our
goal.
The
and
we're
we'll
be
doing
a
random
mail
survey.
B
We're
not
sure
the
exact
particulars
of
that,
but
likely
using
the
voter
roles,
support
provided
by
the
athens
county
board
of
elections
and
then,
as
we
move
into
2021,
we'll
be
doing
a
lot
of
topical
discussions
on
aging
aging
issues
as
well
as
community
discussions
to
better
understand
the
differences
in
aging
needs
from
different
are
different
villages
and
cities
and
unincorporated
areas
of
athens
county.
It's
a
really
great
project.
I
know
I've
tried
to
lobby
last
time
for,
if
anybody's
interested
in
getting
involved
with
it
by
all
means.
B
Please
let
me
know,
we've
got
a
really
good
coalition
and
I
can
plug
you
in
other
than
that
just
to
point
out,
as
often
as
we
can
please.
If
you
haven't
done
so
already,
please
complete
your
census.
B
B
We
are
working
diligently
to
try
to
get
information
and
get
outreach
to
undergraduate
students
who
live
off
campus
at
the
end
of
in
athens
and
recent
graduates
of
the
university
who
are
no
longer
living
in
athens.
So
we've
got,
we
do
have
a
challenge.
B
The
mayor
and
I
did
have
a
phone
call
and
david
actually,
chief
powell
was
on
that
call
too
talked
to
us
a
few
landlords
earlier
this
morning
and
it
did
seem
like
we
were
getting
some
positive
information
that
the
enumerators
are
talking
directly
with
landlords
to
try
to
get
some
of
this
the
counts,
and
so
that
was
that
was
important
and
I'm
trying
to
follow
up
with
our
census
contact
tomorrow
to
get
better
understand
how
we
can
help
facilitate
that,
but
by
all
means
please
take
the
census,
it's
our
civic
duty
and
constitutional
requirement.
A
Okay,
thanks
paul
paul's,
going
to
go
over
and
collapse
now,
just
a
glass
of
water
be
good
yeah,
any
any
questions
for
paul
before
we
dismiss
him.
Thank
you
paul
welcome.
Thank
you
see.
Now
is
the
opportunity
for
citizens
to
speak
about
issues
not
on
today's
agenda
patty
or
anyone.
Do
we
have
anybody
on
line
one?
A
Mr
luck
is
with
us,
but
I
don't
see
him
wanting
to
make
a
comment.
So,
okay,
thank
you,
announcements
and
other
business
of
mayor.
Anything
david
or
paul.
D
D
We
have
been
been
diligently
using
that
funding
for
a
sundry
of
different
things.
Most
notably
council
authorized
a
grant
that
was
released
last
week.
I
believe
it
was
to
hap
cap
hocking,
athens,
perry,
community
action
and
that
is
for
rent,
slash
mortgage
relief
under
coveted
19
for
people
who
are
impacted
council
will
be
reviewing
legislation
tuesday
evening
since
monday
is
a
holiday
tuesday.
Night
council
will
be
looking
at
another
grant
package
that,
if
passed,
would
also
go
to
hapcap.
D
That
would
be
for
city
utility
relief
again
for
people
impacted
by
covet
19..
D
The
the
other
thing
to
inform
those
who
are
watching
is
that
the
city
received
a
second
allocation
yesterday
for
230
000
again
through
the
cares
act,
the
state
is
still
working
through
an
additional
650
million
dollars
and
and
working
through
the
process
with
senate
bill
357
to
where
that
money
would
be
allocated
down
not
using
the
local
government
fund
formula,
but
instead
using
a
per
capita
way
to
base
that
allocation.
D
So
it
it
it's
conceivable
that
the
city
of
athens
would
receive
a
third
tranche
of
of
coronavirus.
Cares
act,
money
to
come
down
to
our
municipality,
to
kind
of
push
to
to
to
inform
those
who
are
watching
some
of
the
things
that
that
money
can
be
used
for
that.
D
We're
authorized
to
use
the
money
for
is
for
broadband
expansion
for
for
broadband,
for
wi-fi,
because
of
us
all
having
to
live
on
the
platform
that
those
who
are
watching
right
now
are
watching
us
on
is
having
to
use
zoom
having
to
use
microsoft
teams,
whatever
platform
you're
using
everybody's
having
to
switch
to
the
virtual
world
and
the
way
in
which
that
can
continue
to
be
robust
enough
for
continual
programming
is
by
having
a
strong,
fiber
backbone,
a
system,
and
so
we
are
certainly
exploring
that
as
a
way
as
paul
was
just
alluding
to
under
the
the
comprehensive
plan,
the
2040
plan,
but
knowing
that
there
is
need
right
now
for
more
people
to
have
connectivity
living
under
the
coronavirus
pandemic,
which,
by
the
way,
you
know
and
not
to
be
donnie
downer.
D
But
it's
not
likely
to
be
going
away
anytime
soon.
You
know
we're
gonna
have
to
be
working
in
this
world
for
quite
some
time
and
then
into
the
the
new
reality,
whatever
that
ends
up
becoming
so
again.
Just
wanting
to
make
people
aware
that
that
will
you'll
hear
more
about
that
via
council
and
from
my
office
when
it
comes
to
the
funding
that
the
city
is
receiving.
D
That
said,
you
know.
The
other
thing
I
just
want
to
remind
people
is
that
the
city
of
athens
does
have
a
face
covering
ordinance
to
where
it
is
a
civil
fine.
If
you
are
out
in
public
or
in
a
a
business
that
is
open
or
any
establishment
that
is
open
to
the
public,
that
that
ordinance
is
still
active,
someone
can
incur
a
hundred
dollar
civil
penalty
or
civil,
fine
administrative.
Fine,
if
found
in
violation,
it
is
complaint
based.
D
The
police
department
will
respond
when
complaints
are
lodged
of
people,
not
abiding
by
the
city.
Ordinance
that
ordinance
by
the
way,
also
is
parallel
to
the
governor's
order,
which
that
too,
is
still
active
along
with
gatherings
of
10
or
greater,
which
is
another
thing
that
I
want
to
remind
people
that
that,
under
the
governor's
order
that
you
are
not
together
with
of
groups
10
or
more,
unless
there's
appropriate
social
distancing.
But
even
then
it's
just
not
prudent
to
be
gathering
in
groups
of
10
or
more.
D
D
740-592-3313,
which
is
the
non-emergency
police
department,
number
to
file
a
complaint
of
people
not
adhering
to
the
state
orders,
as
well
as
the
city
of
athens
ordinance
when
it
comes
to
face
coverings.
So
please
just
do
the
right
thing.
Wear
a
face
mask
when
out
in
the
public,
wash
your
hands
frequently
maintain
proper
social
distancing,
don't
gather
in
groups
of
10
or
greater,
and
we
need
to.
We
need
to
continue
to
to
work
together
as
a
community
to
where
we
can
get
through
this
and
it's
gonna
take
some
time.
A
Thank
you
mayor
any
questions
for
the
mayor,
any
other
announcements.
Okay,
our
next
meeting
will
be
september.
17
2020,
with
the
business
of
the
athens
city
planning
commission,
concluded.
