C
A
Right,
perfect:
well,
all
right,
hello!
Everyone
welcome
to
the
september
meeting
of
the
city
of
binghamton
planning,
commission.
My
name
is
nick
corcoran,
and
I
am
currently
the
chairman
of
this
commission,
which
is
comprised
of
local
community
members,
tasked
with
reviewing
site
plans
and
special
use
permits
for
consistency
with
the
standards
and
criteria
set
forth
in
the
city
of
binghamton
code.
A
Based
on
our
total
number
of
planning
commission
members,
four
members
must
be
present
to
constitute
a
quorum
based
on
the
list
of
attendees.
It
looks
like
we
do
have
a
quorum,
but
let's,
let's
do
roll
call
to
make
sure
all
right,
so
mario
defaultio
paul
o'brien
here
joe
d'angelo,
is
not
going
to
be
with
us
tonight.
Chris
judges.
A
A
Okay,
all
right
so
no
minutes
all
right.
So
then,
our
first
item
on
the
agenda
are
seeker.
Determinations
in
this
portion
of
our
meeting,
the
planning
commission
will
be
reviewing
documentation
provided
by
applicants.
For
the
first
time,
applicants
will
be
called
to
the
microphone
where
they
will
be
asked
to
make
a
presentation
describing
their
plans
to
the
commission.
A
Commission
members
may
then
ask
questions
of
the
applicant
to
clarify
any
items
that
are
unclear.
After
all,
questions
have
been
answered.
The
commission
will
deliberate
and
then
either
set
a
public
hearing
date
for
the
project
or
request
additional
information
before
proceeding
to
all
applicants
who
will
be
presenting
tonight,
we
ask
that
you,
please
state
your
name
and
address
for
our
records
before
beginning
your
presentation,
and
we
ask
that
any
member
of
the
team
of
your
team,
who
will
be
speaking,
please
give
their
name
and
address
for
our
public
record.
A
A
Our
first
secret
determination
is
for
the
applicant
stonebridge
campus.
Living
project
address
is
221
washington
street.
This
is
a
site
plan,
modification
to
add
basement
social
assembly
space
to
multi-unit
dwelling
with
12
existing
units
and
45
total
bedrooms
in
the
c2
downtown
business
district.
All
right
is
there.
Anyone
on
for
stone,
bridge
campus
living.
H
A
A
F
H
H
A
I
To
provide
a
little
bit
more
context,
the
way
we
have
it
now
is
we
kind
of
specialize
in
student
rentals
and
as
it
is
now,
we
don't
share
some
of
the
basic
similarities
that
a
dorm
may
have
like
a
common
space,
and
so
our
thought
really
here
is,
if
you're
wanting
to
have
a
study
group
or
go
yoga
or
gym
whatever
the
case
may
be.
You
may
not
want
to
go
up
to
someone's
apartment
where
you
never
know
who
all
is
going
to
be
there.
I
I
We
want
to
make
it
where
our
kids
are
using
at
home
versus
out
in
public
doing
you
know
trying
to
find
a
place
where
they
can
socialize
and
study,
and
that's
really
our
goal
here
and
part
of
why
we
wanted
to
come
before
the
board
is
just
to
make
sure
we're
doing
it.
The
right
way
making
sure
that,
whatever
number
we
specify
to
use
the
space
is
what
we're
following
and
enforcing,
and
really
just
making
sure
that
we're
crossing
our
eyes
and
t's
while
giving
our
residents
every
space
opportunity
they
can
have.
A
I
F
I
We
notice
that
this
space
on
paper
is
washer
and
dryers.
If
you're
wanting
to
use
it
as
a
common
space,
you
really
need
to
go
and
get
it
permitted
the
correct
way,
and
so
that
was
news
to
us
and
we're
not
the
landlord
that
tries
to
fly
by
night.
So
really
once
we
became
alerted
of
that.
That's
when
we're
like
okay,
let's
do
it
the
right
way,
and
admittedly
this
is
new
to
us.
This
isn't
a
channel
that
we've
really
been
down
before
we
were
under
the
guise
that
it
was
permitted
for
a
recreational
space.
A
A
A
H
I
believe
right
now
for
the
laundry
room
per
the
zoning
board.
It's
five
to
ten
and
then
the
area
of
assembly.
We
were
just
told
that
we'd
work
with
a
fire
marshal
they
would
come
in
they've
already
come
in
once
to
confirm
that
we
have
everything
set
up
the
correct
way
and
then,
as
soon
as
we
got
the
approval,
they
would
just
set
up
an
occupancy
level
and
post
it
on
the
wall.
A
A
D
So
there's
initially
in
the
staff
comments,
there
was
a
comment
about
how
the
office
of
building
construction
and
the
police,
the
binghamton
police
department,
expressed
concern
over
the
use
of
this
basement
space
for
an
assembly
space
and
then,
most
more
recently,
the
binghamton
police
department.
Chief
stakovsky,
has
submitted
a
letter
detailing
some
of
his
concerns
and
asking
that
this
not
be
approved.
I
There
have
been
no
issues
that
one
that
we're
aware
of
whether
it
be
on
paper
or
verbal,
since
I,
I
think
alyssa
our
property
walk
notes
are
june
of
last
year,
but
with
that
said,
we
we
support
the
police
department
and
we
absolutely
would
be
welcome
to
walk
it
with
them,
we're
more
than
on
board
with
giving
them
access
a
key
to
actually,
you
know,
go
down
there.
We
want
to
do
it
the
right
way
and
we
have
no
reason
to
to
not
want
a
police
presence
there.
I
I
H
I
think
too,
just
to
add
you
know.
Obviously
our
leases
are
multiple,
multiple
pages,
long,
that
we
can
add
rules
and
regulations
to
surround
this
to
work
with
the
police.
I
know
they
mentioned
in
there
certain
things
that
they
were,
you
know
afraid
of
coming
up.
I
do
want
to
note
that
our
tenants
from
this
june
of
2022
are
all
new
residents
in
that
building
than
they
were
prior,
so
the
rules
and
regulations
going
forth.
H
B
I
So
it
is
common
area
to
the
tenants
as
a
whole.
What
we
were
always
under
the
guise
was
use
it
as
a
gym
amenity,
laundry
space,
and
so
when
we
have
leased
the
building
again,
not
knowing
that
there
was
any
sort
of
guys
there
we've
told
them.
This
would
be
a
space
that
they
would
have
access
to,
provided
they
followed
the
same
rules
and
regulations
outlined
in
the
lease,
as
we
expect,
with
their
apartment
as
a
whole.
H
Yeah
so
100
so
prior
to
when
we
were
doing
the
renovations
when
we
became.
I
know
knowledge
of
this.
A
new
structure
there
that
came
in
that
code
enforcement
came
in
has
all
been
taken
away.
Everything's
been
taken
out,
it's
a
big
open
wide
space.
Now
we
have
made
a
space
ready
for
the
gym,
we're
ready
to
make
it
at
the
gym
as
soon
as
it's
approved,
we're
ready
to
put
the
pool
tables
in
we're
ready
to
make
it
amenity
space
and
not
a
big
open
area
where
they
can
do
with
what
they
please.
H
L
Yeah,
so
they
they
did
submit
the
floor
plan
and
they
do
show
the
workout
area
on
there
in
the
laundry
room
and
and
some
restrooms,
the
bulk
of
it,
though,
is
shown
as
open
areas.
So,
if
the
board
yeah,
you
can
absolutely
ask
to
show
the
space
furnished
or
show
more
partitions
or
whatever
you
want
to
see.
There.
B
I
think
what
mr
judge
is
trying
to
say
is
that
the
aesthetics
of
the
building
need
to
address
the
concerns
that
police
raised
about
the
building,
and
I
will
tell
you
from
council's
perspective
and
this
planning
bodies
commission.
I
believe
they
all
have
in
mind
a
couple
projects
that
have
been
worked
through
with
amenities
space
like
this,
and
even
though
the
tenants
or
the
landlord
man
had
the
best
intentions
about
how
that
space
was
going
to
be
used.
B
B
It
was
a
pretty
wild
event
and
it
was
clearly
not
something
that
I
think
even
that
landlord
sanctioned
and
he
was
quite
appalled
by
it.
And
so
when
you
see
this
big
wide
open
floor
plan,
it
causes
some
concern
for
public
safety
officials
and
for
the
planning
commission
that
it's
going
to
create
problems
in
that
neighborhood,
with
the
forum
directly
across
the
street
church
down
the
street
a
couple
of
businesses
right
next
to
you
that
that
all
creates
issues,
and
so
the
best
the
question
is
before
next
month.
B
Is
there
something
you
can
do
or
put
in
place
that
would
alleviate
those
concerns
about
public
safety
issues,
and
I
will
tell
you
that,
like
the
other
guy
took
some
pretty
good
measures,
I
mean
he
had
passed.
Security
passes
on
the
doors
only
tenants
to
get
in
they
bypassed
all
that.
They
I
mean
they
broke
in
other
ways.
It
was.
H
M
H
B
What
I'm
saying
is
if
you
walk
the
other
place,
I
was
just
talking
to
you
about
when
you
walked
into
that
there
were
the
greek
letters
all
over
those
walls.
I
mean
they
had
totally
renovated
that
space
made
it
like
sort
of
like
subway
graffiti,
all
over
the
walls,
letting
you
know
who
owned
that
space.
B
H
B
H
B
We
don't
have
a
control
over
how
they
lose
the
building.
Okay,
we
have
it
there's
different
units
if
they
choose
to
do
one
lease
that
covers
all
the
apartments
in
it.
That
is
that's
fine.
The
applicants
should
know,
though,
some
of
the
worst
fraternity
houses
in
the
city
of
binghamton
are
ones
that
are
unrecognized
by
the
fraternity.
Those
are
the
ones
that
seem
to
cause
growth
damage
both
to
the
owner's
property
and
in
the
neighborhood
around
them.
C
H
H
H
H
Correct
so
when
it
was
shut
down,
it's
been
completely
locked
since
any
type
of
communication
with
the
city.
They
have
had
zero
access
to
that
basement.
So
there's
been
nothing
down
there.
The
police
have
not
been
there
at
all
and
I've
been
in
direct
communication
with
code
enforcement
and
tido
at
the
planning
department.
But
that's
that
building
like
the
basement
is
locked
completely.
J
B
B
It's
not
something
you're
going
to
find
in
our
zoning
or
planning
regulations,
but
what
it
does
play
it's
on
the
aesthetics
and
how
the
property
operates,
and
it
goes
to
how
the
effect
it
can
have
in
the
community.
The
experience
in
our
community
has
been
that
these
spaces
when
they
are
below
ground,
they
are
much
harder
to
police
because
there's
very
frequently
not
windows,
it's
very
frequently
not
good
access
to
them
and
it
creates
a
lot
of
issues
for
the
police
trying
to
determine
when
there's
underage
drinking.
B
When
there's
large
parties,
I
mean
the
the
one
that
I
was
talking
about
before
prior.
Fortunately,
there
was
a
bar
above
it.
They
heard
the
noise
they
let
somebody
know
and
first
of
all,
the
frag
guys
right
at
the
door,
wouldn't
let
people
in
when
they
finally
did
let
people
out
you
could
set
the
body
camera
to
see
this
flow
of
people
human
beings
coming
out.
You
know
it's
like
you,
just
counted
them
like
sheep
and
there
were
a
couple
hundred
people
stuck
in
this
basement.
It's
very
dangerous.
B
J
A
D
A
D
A
A
Seconded
all
right
seconded
by
paul
all
in
favor,
mario,
yes,
paul,
yes,
chris,
yes,
kelly!
Yes,
yes
and
I'm
also
a
yes,
so
that's
six
in
favor,
zero
of
those
all
right,
so
you've
got
a
public
hearing
date
set
for
the
next
meeting.
Hopefully
you
can
get
a
revised
plan
submitted
and
have
a
meeting
with
the
police
to
get
there
if
we're
looking
for
their
blessing
or
just
so
that
they
understand
what
you're
trying
to
do
and
then
hopefully,
we'll
hear
from
them
directly
on
what
their
opinion
of
the
project
will
be.
B
I
can
also
make
a
comment
just
on
what
you're,
probably
looking
for
one
of
the
things
that
we
often
get
from
applicants
is
statements
about.
You
know
I
have
this
person
in
place,
who's,
gonna
supervise
and
make
sure
that
this
doesn't
happen.
The
planning
commission's
perspective,
though,
is
much
longer
than
that.
It's
like
20
or
30.,
two
people
down
the
chain
of
connect
title
if
you
sell
the
building
the
next
or
third
person,
and
this
exists
20
years
from
now.
B
How
can
you
physically
design
this
space?
It
doesn't
get
misused.
Like
the
other
board
is
concerned,
that's
really
the
the
highest
best
way.
You
can
address
this
and
I'm
not
certain
how
you
do
that,
but
if
you
can
figure
out
that,
that's
the
type
of
thing
that
that
planning
commission
generally
finds
to
be
very
persuasive.
L
A
I
K
A
All
right,
second,
by
manny,
all
in
favor,
mario,
yes
paul,
yes,
sir
chris,
yes
kelly,
yes
and
man
yeah
all
right,
I'm
also
a
yes
and
it's
six
in
favor
zero,
folks,
all
right
all
right
back
to
secret
determinations.
So
our
next
applicant
is
the
family
enrichment
network.
The
project
address
is
25
double
day
street.
This
is
a
site
plan
review
and
special
use
permit
to
convert
an
existing
building
into
10
one-bedroom
apartments
in
the
r3
multi-unit
dwelling
district.
C
E
O
O
O
As
april
noted,
we're
looking
through
funding
through
homeless
housing,
and
we
have
been
through
the
initial
chris
review
with
the
state
historic
and
received
approval
for
the
project
as
well,
we're
not
adding
anything
to
the
size
of
the
building,
except
for
a
small,
accessible
ramp
on
the
side
of
the
property
towards
the
parking
lot
which
one
would
enter
through
there.
We
are
changing
internally
to
the
project,
the
stairs
to
make
them
accessible
stairs
in
the
middle
of
the
building.
O
A
A
O
B
N
B
L
So
here
they
they
are
purchasing
the
parking
spaces,
but
they
would
need
an
easement
to
make
this
a
functional
parking
lot.
So
the
planning
commission
could,
if
they
were
going
to
approve
it,
make
any
approval,
subject
to
a
grant
the
granting
of
an
easement
in
perpetuity
to
allow
vehicles
to
exit
through
the
saint
paul's
parking
lot.
L
A
B
B
So,
typically,
what
if
there
was
a
if
there
was
an
approval
requirement
would
be
that
the
two
lots
be
merged
into
one
lot
and,
if
potentially
in
the
sale,
if
you
get
you
go
forward
with
the
sale,
you
probably
want
to
ask
them,
including
the
deed.
The
easement
that
goes
with
this
property
provides
for
the
parking
in
the
deed
or
sale
a
right
of
ingress
and
aggression
purposes
of
parking,
so
that
this
so
that
the
supreme
court,
when
it
reviews
this,
can
also
include
that
in
its
approval.
B
So
don't
go
back
again,
but
if
a
non-for
profit
alienates
profit
like
the
assets
like
this,
our
certificate
portion
of
their
assets,
it
requires
supreme
court
approval
from
new
york
state.
So
I
would
make
sure
that
easement
was
part
of
that
transaction
when
they
go
to
the
supreme
court,
so
that
it's
there's
no
question
in
the
future
that
that
they
would
have
to
act,
permission

So
now
we're
on
to
public
hearings
and
final
deliberations
in
this
portion
of
our
meeting,
we'll
be
holding
open
public
hearings
to
obtain
public
opinion
in
regard
to
specific
projects
that
are
up
for
review,
applicants
will
be
asked
to
come
to
the
microphone
and
make
a
brief
presentation
describing
their
project
for
most
projects.
This
is
the
second
time
we
were
reviewing
your
information,
so
it
would
be
very
helpful
if
you
could.
A
Please
give
us
a
brief
overview
of
your
project,
to
remind
us
what
you're
planning
and
then
clearly
identify
any
changes
that
have
been
made
since
the
last
time.
We
saw
you
when
the
applicant
is
done
presenting
and
any
clarifications
have
been
reviewed.
We
will
open
the
public
hearing
and
allow
members
of
the
community
to
speak
about
the
applicant's
proposal
after
the
commission
is
heard
from
all
community
members
interested
in
speaking
tonight.
The
public
hearing
will
be
closed
and
the
commission
will
deliberate
to
our
applicants
when
your
project
name
is
called.
A
Please
come
to
the
microphone
and
start
off
by
giving
the
name
and
address
of
any
member
of
the
applicant's
team.
That's
planning
to
speak
and
anyone
from
the
community
that
will
be
speaking
in
regard
to
a
project
tonight.
Please
also
start
off
by
stating
your
name
and
address
for
our
records,
so
tonight.
A
All
right
so
tonight,
our
first
public
hearing
is
for
the
applicant
marchuska
brothers,
construction
llc.
The
project
address
is
49
court
street
and
this
is
a
psych
land
review
to
add
nine
additional
parking
spaces
to
an
existing
231
space.
Surface
parking
lot
in
the
c2
downtown
business
district,
all
right.
Anybody
on
for
marc
truster
brothers,
oh.
Q
K
E
A
Q
Well,
since
the
last
time
we
we
met,
we
went
to
the
zba
to
eliminate
that
five-foot
landscape
barrier
between
us
and
the
neighboring
property,
and
that
was
completed,
went
through
with
a
I
believe.
A
favorable
result
we're
still
maintaining
that
we
like
to
add
the
nine
parking
spaces
and
maintain
the
five
foot
existing
sidewalk.
Q
K
C
L
Nick
up
from
from
our
end,
the
only
change
is
that
we
did
get
county
comments
and
it's
my
mistake.
They're
not.
I
did
not
upload
them
to
base
camp
previously,
but
they
were
made
available
to
the
zba
before
the
zba
meeting
and
they're
on
base
camp
now
and
shaolin
can
put
them
up.
If
you
all
would
like
to
see
them,
but
the
county
recommended
denial
of
this
proposal,
and
so
the
planning
commission
would
need
a
super
majority
to
override
that.
Q
So
you
know,
unfortunately,
people
are
working
from
home
and
we're
trying
to
do
the
best
we
can
with
the
current
with
the
current
situation
in
the
world
today,
we
also
are
also
trying
to
accommodate
people
who
come
into
the
parking
lot.
You
know
because
we
get
a
certain
level
people
during
the
day
and
after
hours
we
use
the
parking
lot
for
different
events,
eat
dinner
and
then
generally
walk.
You
know,
shopping
and
whatnot
downtown.
Q
We,
when
we
our
last
meeting,
they
didn't
put
a
timeline
on
it,
but
they
did.
You
know
we
just
said
we
would
do
it.
We
would
do
it
over
time
and
we,
you
know,
if
there's
if
it's
any
indication
of
the
type
of
landlord
we
are
with
the
building,
I
mean
we,
we
we
keep
the
building
extremely
nice
and
we
continue
to
improve
it.
Q
A
D
D
L
A
nutshell:
they
agree
with
most
of
our
comments
that
that
the
removal
of
of
all
trees
and
and
a
lot
in
the
bulk
of
the
vegetation
on
that
site
over
time
is
inappropriate,
especially
sort
of
in
the
heart
of
downtown
and
that
expanding
surface
lots
with
no
landscape
offer
and
and
no
trees
is
contrary
to
to
the
city
comprehensive
plan
to
the
county.
Comprehensive
plan
to
just
best
practices
in
general.
L
A
L
B
Typically,
what's
approved
in
a
site
plan
has
to
be
completed
within
12
months.
However,
there
are
times
when
you
extend
that
time
and
you
can
do
have
the
right
to
do
conditions
for
the
for
the
whole
parcel
as
part
of
this
approval-
and
you
can
do
a
staggered
timeline
saying
you
know,
and
you
can
make
it
longer
than
a
year
if
you
wanted
to
as
long
as
there
was
compliance
at
each
step
at
each
benchmark,
that
was
set.
K
A
All
right:
well,
let's
do
this,
let's
open
the
public
hearing,
let
people
talk
about
the
project
and
then
we'll
come
back
and
revisit
this
all
right,
so
this
is
or
we're
going
to
open
up
the
public
hearing
for
the
applicant
marchuska
brothers.
Construction
llc
project
address
is
49
court
street.
This
is
a
site
planned
review
to
add
nine
additional
parking
spaces
to
an
existing
231
space
surface
parking
lot
in
the
c2
downtown
business
district.
E
P
P
P
This
is
a
little
bit
of
a
sensitive
subject
for
me
because
I
am
involved.
You
know
my
office
is
downtown.
My
business
and
my
wife's
business
are
downtown
one
restaurant,
one
retail,
and
I
also
have
residents
that
live
downtown
and
one
of
the
biggest
challenges
constantly
is
parking
and
it's
it's.
It's
lost
me
the
opportunity
to
have
tenants
here
in
our
market.
P
It's
it's
allowed
me
to
also
lose
tenants
for
living
downtown,
and
I've
also
had
to
hear
from
our
customers
repeatedly
that
we
don't
come
to
your
place
because
there's
a
deficiency
of
parking
in
downtown
and
a
lot
of
things
we
don't
have
control
of
and
and
look
over
time
and
I'm
not
taking
pot
shots.
The
city
hasn't
really
maintained
their
parking
garages
they've
become
they've
to
the
point
where
they've
had
to
be
torn
down.
P
There's
another
pending
project,
there's
been
a
lot
of
of
positive
movement
in
the
downtown
at
a
time
where
we've
really
needed
the
most
parking.
Ever
it's
a
totally
different
creature
now
than
it
was
historically
and
there's
a
tremendous
deficiency.
So
here
you
have
a
landlord
or
developer
that
wants
to
put
parking,
and
I
think
we
all
have
wish
lists,
and
I
I
understand
it
would
be
nice
to
have
trees
and
all
that
things.
But
you
also
have
to
look
at
the
challenges
that
people
have
in
their
businesses.
P
You
know
we've
gone
through
a
horrible
time.
You
know
the
past
24
months.
I
don't
think
you
should
recreate
the
world,
but
you
have
to
be
a
little
bit
sensitive
to
that
things
are
a
lot
more
challenging
now
and
by
not
embracing
this
and
allowing
them
to
move
forward
with
this
pro.
With
this
additional
parking.
P
It's
it's
not
only
hurting
them,
but
it's
hurting
other
things.
It's
hurting
people
that
would
go
to
the
forum
or
people
that
would
shop
retail
or
people
that
will
go
to
restaurants,
so
I'm
hoping
that
you
guys
will
look
really
long
and
hard
over
this.
I
think
there's
bigger
things
in
the
city
that
we
have
to
work
worry
about
that
need
our
attention.
P
I
commend
all
of
you
for
giving
your
time
to
this.
You
know
that
you
know
this
committee
and
board,
but
I
think
it's
really
important
to
embrace
anybody
who
wants
to
make
the
financial
investment
into
our
into
our
downtown
to
help
it
better
and
look
in
time.
You
know,
I
don't
think
you
should
draw
a
line
in
the
sand.
P
So
now
his
k,
his
cash
flows
negative,
but
so,
rather
than
than
have
all
these
conditions,
I
think
you
have
to
kind
of
show
a
little
bit
of
good
faith
and
allow
him
to
move
forward
this
in
hopes
that
that
that
there'll
be
some
plant
things.
But
I
want
to
just
emphasize
again
my
positive
support
for
this.
It's
it's
a
win-win
for
everybody,
the
city,
the
county
office,
space
residential.
S
Hi,
my
name
is
olivia
larocchia,
I'm
a
student
at
binghamton
university,
I'm
a
graduate
student,
I'm
studying
sustainability,
and
so
we
like
to
think
about
all
of
the
different
aspects
of
city
planning.
You
know
economic,
environmental
and
social,
and
this
seems
like
a
really
interesting
issue
that
includes
all
of
these
things.
I
think
we've
had
some
insight
from
the
economic
perspective
as
to
why
it
might
be
important
to
have
these
new
parking
spaces,
and
I
see
the
value
in
that,
but
just
to
provide
a
counter.
S
I
think
you
know
the
environmental
benefits
of
having
trees
downtown.
It's
good,
for
you
know
the
psyche
of
our
residents,
who
walk
around
every
day
to
see
you
know
some
greenery,
and
instead
of
seeing
that
get
torn
down.
Seeing
that
maintained,
I
would
like
to
see
you
know
a
promise
from
the
people
who
would
like
to
establish
these
parking
spaces
to
increase
vegetation.
S
L
A
D
Yeah
nick
I'm
just
I'm
looking
at
the
the
site
plan
that
was
submitted,
and
I
won't
lie
to
you,
I'm
I
there's
from
what
I'm
seeing
here,
there's
not
going
to
be
a
large
amount
of
real
estate.
That's
going
to
be
paved
to
create
these
extra
nine
parking
spots.
I
mean
I,
with
all
due
respect
to
everybody
out
there.
This
is
hardly
gonna,
get
joni
mitchell
to
write
another
song
about.
D
So
I,
with
all
the
respect
to
the
county
and
their
objections,
I
have
no
problem
approving
the
site
plan
as
is,
and
as
submitted
and
not
requiring
the
applicant
to
commit
to
planning
x
number
of
pieces
of
vegetation
by
a
certain
date
to
have
them
extend
the
parking
spots
by
a
few
feet.
Was
it
nine
by
nine
by
18
to
add
those
extra
nine
spots?
I
mean
it's.
A
A
So
the
last
comment
in
here:
it's
the
staffs
position
that
restoring
the
recommended
15
trees,
so
12
to
15
trees
around
the
perimeter
is
a
reasonable
request.
So
it
would
have
a
significant
impact
on
the
surrounding
area.
The
city
is
making
a
large
investment
in
streetscape
improvements
through
the
deco
district
project
right
nearby.
Anybody
want
to.
K
Nick
manny
here
I'm
always
a
fan
of
compromise,
but
I
do
appreciate
you
know
the
lack
of
immediacy
for
the
these
trees
and
I
think
you
know
putting
12
trees
over
three
years.
If
the
applicant
would
be
willing
might
be
a
reasonable
compromise,
but
we'd
have
to
see
if
the
applicant
would
be
okay
with
that.
Q
I
guess
what
I
would
say
is
we
were
hoping
to
have.
You
know,
do
this
in
faith
and
not
have
it
part
of
the
as
a
requirement,
because
don't
like
mark
put
up
with
where
things
are
going,
I
mean
we
do
the
best
we
can
with
the
building.
I
mean
like,
for
example,
this
this
weekend,
luma
went
on.
I
was
eating
dinner,
9
30
at
my
home
in
skinny
atlas,
okay
and
the
commitment
I
have
to
the
the
city
of
binghamton
finished
dinner.
Q
Q
We
have
a
gate
there
and
you
can,
you
know,
check
out
with
a
credit
card
because
for
such
a
shortage,
I
guess-
and
I
don't
know-
I
don't
know
the
factual
numbers,
but
my
understanding
because
luma
they
were
using
like
one
the
parking
garages
or
something-
and
I
don't
know
exactly
but
understanding
was
there
was
very
limited
parking
that
was
available
and
I
stayed
there
until
about
one
o'clock
in
the
morning
on
saturday
night.
My
brother
was
there
too.
None
of
our
employees,
because
you
know
we
weren't
expecting
to
be
there.
Q
I
mean
when
we
when
there's
forum
events
and
whatever
we're
there
so
but
people,
even
though
they
had
to
wait
pretty
considerable
amount
of
time
to
look
access.
The
lot
we're
just
thankful
to
have
that
parking
around.
So
just
to
echo
the
sediments
I
mean
we,
we
really
are
doing
a
service,
and
I
mean
the
commitment
I
have
people
who
are
there
will
will
test.
I
I
was
there.
You
know,
like
I
said,
very
nice,
I
was
in
dinner.
A
Q
A
I
think
our
problem
probably
is
rooted
in
something
brian
alluded
to
in
the
in
the
earlier
project.
So
I
I'm
pretty
sure
everybody
on
the
planet.
Commission
probably
fully
agrees
the
marchuska
brothers,
no
problem.
We
could
do
a
good
faith
agreement
with
you
just
you
know
everybody
sees
you
around.
They
hound
you
every
once
in
a
while
and
be
like
hey
what
about
those
trees,
but
the
problem
is
if,
for
whatever
reason
you
sold
the
the
building,
you
sold
the
area.
A
B
A
A
A
site
plan
modification
that
didn't
show
any
of
the
trees
at
all,
and
then
you
could.
You
could
ask
for
yeah
no
trees
at
that
point
and
it
would
be
the
same
process.
You
have
to
hop
on
for
a
couple
of
meetings
and
ask
for
no
trees,
but
I
think
there's
enough
people
involved
in
the
request
to
have
the
trees
put
back
in.
But
it's
sounding
to
me,
like
you,
probably
would
not
get
approval
tonight.
If
you
want
to
not
have
the
trees
as
a
condition
of
approval.
Q
And
this
is
with
all
due
respect,
nick
everyone,
since
we
cut
the
trees
down-
and
I
know
the
board
like
I
respect-
you
know
what
the
board
does,
but
you
know
we
we
have
people
who
have
come
up
to
us
up
to
this
meeting.
No
one
has
been
honest
with
you.
I
said
anything
about
the
trees
or
look.
If
trees
made
a
difference
there,
I
would
have
planted
trees
help
me
around
the
building.
I
would
have
planned
on
a
long
time
ago
beyond
that.
Q
Q
I
didn't
look
at
the
final
one,
but
I
think
that's
going
to
add
a
decent
amount
of
education
where
my
trees,
although
I
I
do
respect
that
I
think
you're
going
to
see
you
know
you're
going
to
see
a
bit
of
vegetation
going
in
with
that
around
you
know.
The
state
state
street
henry
street
at
least
when
I
was
involved
with
it
in
the
past,
with
with
him
landscaping,
went
out
from
ithaca.
I
haven't
seen
the
final
plan,
but
that
was
my
understanding,
so
I
I
understand
and
respect
completely
and
what
the
board
does.
A
Q
I'm
just
I'm
just
saying
I
I
like
I
say
I
think
you're
going
to
see
once
that
landscaping
goes
in
it's
not
going
to
really
make
a
difference.
What
we're
doing
I
mean,
and
one
thing
what
chris
mentioned
earlier,
is
where
we're
adding
it.
It's
we're
adding.
You
know
pretty
minimal
amount
of
parking
spots
and
we
aren't
you
know
removing
trees,
we're
actually
taking
out
hard.
You
know
impermeable,
you
know
sidewalk
and
even
and
then
adding
parking
spots.
So
it's
kind
of
a
one-for-one
thing.
T
A
E
A
D
A
Q
B
A
B
A
A
R
These
are
mostly
one
bedrooms,
two
bedrooms
and
a
couple:
three
bedrooms:
the
building's
about
twenty
four
thousand
square
feet:
there's
nine
parking
spaces
at
the
building.
Currently
those
will
remain,
as
is
there's
currently
a
dumpster
in
the
back
of
the
building
on
the
north
side.
That
remains
where
that
is
as
well.
R
R
D
A
All
right
well
see
no
questions
or
comments,
we'll
open
the
public
hearing
all
right.
So
this
is
the
public
hearing
for
168
water
llc.
The
project
address
is
168
water
street.
This
is
a
site
plan
review
for
the
conversion
of
floors,
two
through
five
of
an
existing
commercial
building
to
18
growing
units
with
26
total
bedrooms
in
the
c2
downtown
business
district.
R
Yep,
so
they
were
formerly
professional
offices.
The
tenants
have
all
left,
you
know
prior
to
us
acquiring
the
building,
so
the
renovation
up
there
for
the
offices
was
probably
done
in
the
90s.
Maybe
there
used
to
be
legal
aid.
Services
was
in
there
some
offices
for
the
former
owner,
all
offices,
so
no
apartments.
A
A
A
I
A
L
D
L
So
what
this
legislation
does?
Is
it
states
explicitly-
and
this
would
be
in
the
zoning
code,
that
a
group
of
four
or
more
college
students
is
not
a
family
unless
certain
other
conditions
are
met.
So
this
makes
it
so
that
the
zoning
officer
is
making
an
objective
statement
about
the
occupants
of
the
unit
and
they're,
either
students
or
they're.
Not
so
that's
one
thing
that
the
legislation
does
is
make
that
enforcement
easier.
L
The
other
thing
is
that
there's
a
rezoning
portion
of
it,
so
the
if
you've
had
a
moment
to
take
a
look
at
the
map,
there's
an
area
of
the
west
side,
sort
of
that
eastern
portion
between
chestnut
and
front
street
that
we
know
that
that's
where
students
are
predominantly
and-
and
so
what
this
would
do
is
this
would
expand
the
r3
zoning
district
in
that
area
and
expand
the
area
where
students
could
live
legally.
So
again,
we
know
that
area
is
predominantly
occupied
by
students.
L
It
has
been
for
decades
and
that's
the
predominant
character
of
the
neighborhood
now
so
it
doesn't.
It
doesn't
make
sense
for
to
us
for
groups
of
students
to
be
forbidden
from
living
there.
That
would
be
difficult
to
enforce.
It
would
displace
a
lot
of
students
and
displace
a
lot
of
people.
So
what
we're
proposing
is
part
of
this
is
to
convert
an
area
that
is
r2,
which
is
a
good
size
chunk
of
that
of
that
eastern
part
of
the
west
side,
where
all
dwelling
units
must
be
occupied
by
a
family.
L
D
Tito
a
process
question:
if
you
will
I'm
assuming
we're
one
of
like
45
steps.
This
also
gets
approved
by
city
council,
maybe
by
the
zoning
board,
et
cetera,
et
cetera,
I'm
assuming
also
there's
going
to
be
some
sort
of
public
hearings
for
the
public
to
mouth
off
on
this,
let
me
rephrase
that
for
the
public
to
to
provide
their
input
on
this,
if
they,
especially
if
they're
living
in
this
yellow
box,
you
know
between
you,
know
st
john
zab
and
oak
street.
L
A
You
know
so
these.
If
these
changes
are
enacted,
it
doesn't
override
any
of
the
area,
requirements
or
number
of
parking
spaces
required
per
unit
or
any
any
of
the
changes
we
recently
made
previously
to
try
and
limit
the
number
of
units
or
the
number
of
beds
that
could
be
crammed
into
these
some
of
these
houses.
It
doesn't
change
any
of
that
correct.
L
No,
it
does
not.
No,
it
does
not.
If
you
are
in
this
newly
expanded
legal
area,
you
would,
and
you
wanted
to
add
bedrooms
or
create
a
new
concrete
living
building.
You
would
still
need
to
meet
all
the
bulk
requirements,
all
the
area,
regulations,
parking
regulations,
etc
for
that
type
of
development.
A
Okay
off
the
top
of
your
head,
just
as
a
reminder,
because
I
kind
of
it
all
gets
a
little
muddy
if
somebody
wanted
to
convert
one
of
their
houses
to
a
congregate
living
building.
I
I
forget
what
what
are
the
requirements
for
that?
As
far
as
what
are
our?
What's
our
ability
to
limit
how
many
rooms
they
could
consider
a
rentable
room.
L
So
congregate
living
is
tapped
at
10
sleeping
rooms
in
a
in
a
single
cognitive
living
unit
and
concrete
living
has
a
higher
parking
requirement
than
than
dwelling
units
do,
and
so
how
you
know
the
density
would
be
determined
by
whatever
the
constraints
are
on
that
site.
If
they
can't
provide
the
parking,
then
then
they
can't
they
wouldn't
be
able
to
to
build
that
many
units,
great.
A
So
the
reality
is,
I
guess
the
argument
against
this
has
been
well.
This
is
gonna.
I
mean
the
students
are
just
gonna
flock
to
this.
People
are
gonna,
be
carving
up
their
houses
into
huge
rental
units
and
making
all
these
changes.
That's
gonna
completely
change
the
character
of
the
neighborhood
for
the
people
that
have
been
living
there
for
years
and
are
not
interested
in
this.
But
that's
that's
probably
not
an
accurate
depiction
of
what's
going
to
happen.
Correct.
L
L
D
And
tito,
if,
if
I
understand
correctly
this
map,
I'm
done
I
mean
I
guess
I
know
I'm
I'm
looking
at
my
computer
screen,
you
got
up
on
the
on
the
shared
screen
too,
but
the
map
that
you
got
displayed.
What
this
map
is
doing,
if
you
understand
correctly,
is
better
reflecting
the
reality.
That's
already
on
the
ground.
You're,
not
you're,
we're
not
doing
this
to
encourage
more
students
to
move
into
this
neighborhood.
This
is
reflecting
the
reality.
There
already
are
many
students
already
living
in
this
neighborhood
correct,
that's
correct.
L
Yeah
and
the
purpose
is
to
be
able
to
sort
of
stop
the
spread
of
this
type
of
housing
into
neighborhoods,
where
single
and
two
family
houses
are
are
the
predominant
type
of
of
unit.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
preserving
our
housing
stock
for
potential
home
buyers
and
and
for
family
type
renters
as
well,
and
so
we,
the
purpose,
is
to
sort
of
enforce,
is
to
have
an
easier
way
to
enforce
the
family
rule
outside
of
this
expanded
area.
L
In
this
student
area,
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
it
was
legal
for
to
rent
to
students,
because
again
we
know
that
they're
there
we
looked
at
the
map
at
the
ownership
of
the
map.
A
significant
majority
of
the
properties
are
owned
by
llcs,
many
of
which
we
know
sort
of
cater
to
that
student
market.
We
weren't
trying
to
sort
of
punish
those
landlords
or
those
students
that
live
there
again.
C
D
A
A
A
E
E
L
L
G
By
is
austin
donaldson.
Our
address
of
record
is
po
box
2910
binghamton
new
york.
I
represent
amicus
properties,
we
we've
been
in
talks
and
what
that
the
applications
of
this
would
do
and
our
biggest
concern,
I
guess,
is
on
existing
lots
if
they
were
required
to
go
for
congregate
living,
but
don't
have
the
parking
requirements.
I
mean
I'm
even
thinking
about
some
houses
that
have
only
four
bedrooms
in
them.
G
Where
there's
no
parking
required,
no
parking,
as
is
currently
how
would
those
ones
be
affected
with
the
congregate
living
requirements
of
one
parking
spot
per
bedroom
in
the
house?
I
know
that
50
of
the
parking
requirement
can
be
waived,
but
on
those
extraordinary
lots
where
there
is
no
parking
available,
how
would
those
be
handled.
L
Yeah,
so
if,
if
you
have
the
way
this
legislation
is,
is
written,
anything
with
five
plus
bedrooms
would
be
considered
concrete
living.
So
if
you
have
a
legal
unit
that
is
according
to
our
records
on
paper
five
plus
bedrooms,
then
that's
legal
non-conforming,
that's
grandfathered
in
so
to
speak.
If
you
have
a
unit
that
is
not
legally
recognized,
as
is
then
on
a
case-by-case
basis,
that
would
either
have
to
go
to
the
planning
commission
or
be
sort
of
reformatted.
Somehow.
L
L
B
G
No,
I
think,
I
think
we're
good
from
our
end.
I
mean
it's,
it's
just
some
of
these
properties
that
are
a
little
bit
odd,
I'm
just
looking
at
the
map
here,
for
example,
if
you
go
down
chapin
street,
and
I
want
two
properties
in
there's
a
tiny
lot
there-
that
it
doesn't
have
any
parking
that
kind
of
it
backs
up
to
those
lots
that
are
on
leroy.
G
L
L
If
the
planning
commission
thought
it
was
appropriate,
we
could
add
to
the
amendment.
We
could
make
a
change
to
that
rule.
In
the
amendment
where
off-site
parking
within
250
feet,
let's
say
would
be
allowable
for
congregate
living
and
that
way
we
can
meet
the
parking
needs
of
the
neighborhood
without,
without
potentially
triggering
sort
of
wide
scale.
T
L
L
That's
going
to
be
becoming
r3,
there's
a
small
part,
that's
r1
on
chestnut
that
will
be
becoming
r3
and
then
down
at
the
bottom.
I
don't
know
councilman
if
you
can
see
the
map,
but
the
area
outlined
in
blue,
that's
r2
and
that
will
be
coming
becoming
r1
and
the
reason
we
did
that
is
again.
That's
a
better
fit
for
the
character
of
the
neighborhood
to
the
south,
which
is
r1
and
the
ownership
of
of
those
properties
was
was
predominantly
not
llc's,
not
not
rentals.
T
L
Yes
yeah,
so
the
the
purpose
of
expanding
the
r3
district
is
so
that
there
is,
there
is
a
way
for
congregate.
Living
which
is,
in
other
words,
is
unrelated
people
living
together,
there's
a
way
for
congregate,
living
to
be
legal
in
this
area.
So
so
I
guess
the
short
answer
is
yes,
there
will
be
properties
grandfathered
in
this
area
that
are
renting
to
students
that
will
be
allowed
to
continue
doing
so.
E
L
U
U
L
I'm
sorry
I
was
muted,
so
no,
the
maximum
number
of
beds
in
a
congregate
living
unit
are
10.
and
then
then
again,
the
amount
of
beds
that
someone
would
be
able
to
add
depends
on
how
much
parking
they
can
provide
and
whether
or
not
you
know
the
planning
commission
thinks
it's
it's
an
appropriate
project.
So
they
would
need
to
go
to
the
planning
commission.
U
U
Okay,
and
so
just
for
those
that
are
on
the
call
and
those
that
may
not
be
aware,
parking
is
a
premium
period
for
even
a
four
bedroom
single
family
dweller.
Like
myself,
we
often
have
students
parking
and
I
again
you
can
google,
where
I
live.
But
if
you
include
250
feet,
is
it
beholden
upon
the
owner
to
find
spaces
or
is
the
resident
then
allowed
to
park
in
the
non-rezoned
area
because
it
meets
the
250
feet
requirement.
L
So
the
the
property
owner
would
be
required
to
do
it.
So
if
somebody
wanted
to
either
legalize
an
existing
congregate
living
building
or
create
a
new
one,
convert
one
build
one.
They
would
have
to
go
to
the
planning
commission
and
they
would
have
to
show
that
they
meet
the
minimum
parking
requirement
and
they
could
do
that.
L
If,
if
this
rule
change
goes
into
effect,
they
could
do
that
on
a
privately
owned
lot
within
250
feet,
and
they
would
have
to
demonstrate
that
they
have
control
over
that
lot
and
they
would
have
to
demonstrate
that
that
parking
would
be
available
in
perpetuity
as
long
as
it's
necessary
to
serve
the
congregate
living
youth.
So
it
would
be
the
owners,
responsibility
and
there
they
would
have
to
prove
that
that
they
can
do
that
before
they
get
approved
by
the
planning
commission.
U
Hold
on
one
second,
I'm
sorry
what
would
happen
to
those
that
are
out
of
compliance
in
the
areas
that
are
not
part
of
this
rezoning
proposal?
So
if
there
is
a
house
on
lathrop
avenue
going
towards
millard
what
would
happen
to
them
because
they
are
no
longer
following
the
zoning
ordinance
and
will
there
be
stricter
penalties
put
in
place
for
landlords
that
are
not
following
the
zoning
order,
ordinance
disowning
the
the
laws
based
upon
this
new
rezoning
structure.
U
That's
important
for
all
other
districts
to
understand
as
well.
We
we
have
a
lot
of
advocates
for
this
particular
part
of
town
to
rezone,
but
if
there
are
landlords
in
district
2,
district,
1,
district,
5
and
6
and
7
that
are
not
following
the
zoning
laws,
then
they
will
be
held
accountable,
correct.
L
L
It
would
then
be
on
the
students
to
prove
that
they
are
a
family
if
in
fact
they
are.
Obviously
there
are
some.
There
are
going
to
be
some
instances
where
I
guess
it's
possible
that
there's
a
group
of
students
that
are
actually
related.
They
would
have
a
chance
to
appeal
by
going
to
the
zoning
board
of
appeals,
but
if
the
burden
of
proof
would
be
on
them
to
prove
that
they're,
not
students,
okay,.
U
And
then,
finally,
as
as
those
that
are
on
the
call
may
be
aware,
some
of
these
properties
are
and
are
adjacent
to
the
benefit
able
bennett
track,
and
so
those
are
larger
homes.
And,
yes,
I
think
the
maximum
you
said
was
four
bedroom.
Five
plus
units
would
be
considered
congregate
living,
but
it
is
also
if
you're
able
to
have
four
independently
functioning
people
in
four
independent
bedrooms.
U
That
then
allows
four
cars,
four
different
bags
of
trash
without
any
requirement
to
have
parking
areas
nor
the
trash
units
that
are
required.
They
would
then
be
expected
to
have
trash
compactors,
as
would
any
other
family.
The
problem
comes
when
we
do
have
a
five
bedroom
unit
with
ten
people
and
the
trash
is
thrown
about
without
any
requirements
such
as
one
of
the
big
units
that
are
provided
by
the
local
trash
agencies
is
that
so
I
know
we
discussed
this
for
multi-unit
families.
U
L
Yeah,
that's
something
we
can
look
at
is.
Is
you
know
we
can
work
with
court
counsel
on
how
to
word
that,
but
I
would
say
that
the
fact
that
we're
requiring
a
special
use
permit
from
the
planning
commission
so
we're
requiring
planning
commission
review
if
you
want
to
do
concrete
living
that
sort
of
controls
for
that,
because
one
of
the
things
that
the
planning
commission
is
charged
with
doing
is
is
making
sure
that
there's
adequate
like
waste
disposal.
So
is
there
a
dumpster?
Is
there
an
enclosure
for
garbage
receptacles?
L
L
L
E
E
A
B
F
H
F
Three
students
living
there,
but
they
have
friends
over
every
weekend.
There
are
multiple
cars
was
it
yesterday
or
saturday,
one
of
the
days
they
had
like
a
long
during.
I
think
it
was
saturday
day,
long,
drinking
and
music
really
loud
and
everything.
I
did
end
up,
calling
the
police
on
13th
chestnut,
not
this
past
weekend,
but
the
one
before
because
it
was
midnight
and
there
was
a
lot
of
music.
There
were
strangers
in
my
yard.
There's
kids
park
up.
F
All
over
chestnut
I
talked
to
the
girls
next
door.
I
don't
really
want
to
have
to
be
in
the
position
to
call
the
police
and
I
don't
feel
like
I
should
have
to
to
live
in
my
neighborhood.
So
I
don't
know
that
the
prescription
of
saying
oh
three
college
students
is
okay.
We
literally
have
from
number
two
to
number
20
on
our
blocks.
That's
supposed
to
be
single
family
housing.
F
F
So
you
know
they
also
mentioned
in
our
school
board
meeting
that
dr
stenger
had
talked
to
tanya
thompson
and
said
there's
more
than
enough
on
campus
housing
for
students.
I
guess
they
might
want
to
live
off
campus.
I
have
to
college
students
myself,
but
I
just
feel
like
to
preserve
our
neighborhood
and
have
some
kind
of
balance
with
the
university
students.
F
F
Okay,
thank
you.
I
appreciate
your
consideration
man
I
just
I
know
myself
as
well
as
a
lot
of
you
and
a
lot
of
people
on
the
left
side
or
all
over
binghamton.
Have
you
know,
grown
up
in
this
area.
Moved
back
to
this
area
have
invested
in
their
properties,
and
it's
there
just
has
to
be
a
better
balance
that
also
weighs
on
the
homeowner's
side.
So
I
appreciate
your
time.
Thank
you
very
much.
M
L
M
L
A
D
D
I'm
not
sure
how
official
our
language
needs
to
be,
but
you
know
I'd
be,
and
we
also
also
talked
about
you
know,
possibly
updating
with
the
trash
dumpster
requirement
or
something
I'm
okay,
with
making
a
recommendation
that
city
council
that
we
approve
this
and
said
the
city
council
for
their
consideration
and
can
sit.
Then
you
know
they
should
want
to
consider
the
250
foot
rule
and
the
trash
rule
how's.
B
B
A
L
So
those
would
be
three
new
uses
in
the
code
and
then
the
other
thing
that
the
amendment
does
is
that
it
allows
those
uses
in
certain
districts.
So
industrial
cannabis
would
be
a
lot
in
industrial
districts
and
so
on
so
similar
to
the
student
housing
legislation,
we're
looking
for
a
recommendation
to
city
council
to
approve
approval
conditions
or
deny.
D
D
D
L
Though,
first
saint
james
is
is
more
than
500
feet
away
from
the
border
and
then,
if
a
school
were
to
close,
then
then
yeah
effectively
the
the
red
bubble,
I
think,
would
go
away.
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
this
map
is
not
a
rezoning
or
anything
we're
doing
we're
just
showing
the
buffers
where
people
would
not
be
able
to
get
licenses,
so
it
it
for
each
new
business
that
wants
to
open.
A
A
L
T
My
concern
would
be
the
the
clean
air
act
in
that
when,
when
cigarette
smoking
was
then
outlawed
in
restaurants
and
everything,
there
were
many
restaurants
who
I
actually
agree
with.
That
said
that
you
don't
have
to
come
into
my
restaurant,
we're
going
to.
I
want
to
allow
smoking
and
the
law
said
no,
because
the
employees
then
well,
they
don't,
they
can
go
work
somewhere
else.
No,
you
can't
because
you
you're
making
people
choose
between
their
health
and
their
employment,
so
it
was
completely
outlawed.
T
Nobody
could
smoke
anywhere
and
now,
if
they're
gonna,
if
they're
going
to
allow
smoking,
I
do
know
like
the
cdc
has
on
their
website
about
pregnant
women,
smoking
marijuana.
So,
theoretically
we
could
have
a
young
woman,
not
knowing
that
she's
pregnant
for
the
first
six
or
eight
weeks
or
whatever
and
breathing
in
this
smoke
for
that
eight
weeks.
T
E
T
E
L
A
D
A
L
Yep
so
nick
this
is
actually
a
city
request
to
rezone
187
clinton
street.
We
have
a
a
proposal
in
the
works
that
we're
looking
to
get
funded
by
the
state
to
develop,
affordable
housing
at
this
location
and
right
now.
This
lot
is
zoned.
Industrial
and
industrial
districts
do
not
permit
dwelling
units,
and
so,
in
order
to
do
a
mixed-use
building
on
this
site,
we
would
need
to
rezone
it
to
c4.
L
There
are
other
options,
but
c4
makes
the
most
sense,
because
most
of
clinton
street,
including
to
the
north,
east
and
west,
is
already
c4
neighborhood
commercial,
so
it
would
fit
into
the
neighborhood
and
it
would
allow
those
dwelling
units
to
be
built
there.
Like
we
mentioned
before
during
student
housing
conversation,
we
have
a
shortage
of
housing,
not
just
affordable
housing
but
housing
at
every
price
point.
So
we
wanted
to
do
what
we
could
to
facilitate
this
project.
L
A
Right
all
right:
let's
throw
it
open
to
public
comment
if
anybody's
on
the
zoom
call
that
would
like
to
speak
about
it.
Why
not?
So
this
is
the
we're
opening
a
public
hearing
about
the
rezoning
of
187
clinton
street.
If
anybody
would
like
to
speak
about
that,
they
could
raise
their
hand
if
anybody
wanted
to
call
in
about
it
number
607-772-7000.
