Hello:
everyone
welcome
to
the
October
meeting
of
the
city
of
Binghamton
Planning
Commission.
My
name
is
Nick
Corcoran
I'm.
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,
based
on
our
total
number
of
Planning
Commission
members.
Four
members
must
be
present
to
constitute
a
quorum
tonight.
I
think
we
have
five
members,
which
means
we
do
have
a
quorum
and
cream
Pro
seed.
A
First
item
on
the
agenda
is
roll
call.
Mario
defolvio
is
not
here:
Paul
O'brien,
Joe,
D'angelo
Chris
judge
eats
nice
Kelly,
Weiss
and
Manny
priest
is
also
not
here.
Yet
all
right
and
Manny's
not
coming
so
we
have
a
quorum.
Camp
can
proceed
all
right.
Next
item
on
the
agenda
is
approval
of
the
September
meeting
minutes
everybody
got
that
in
on
base
camp.
Anybody
have
any
questions
or
comments
or
revisions
needed
and
if
not,
anybody
want
to
make
a
motion
to
approve.
B
A
A
Oh
judges,
Joe
is
abstaining
all
right.
So
that's
four
in
favor.
One
abstention,
zero
opposed
so
that
passes.
A
All
right
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.
Commission
members
May
then
ask
questions
of
the
applicant
to
clarify
any
items
that
are
unclear
and,
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.
A
Before
proceeding
to
all
our
applicants
that
we'll
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
your
team,
who
will
be
speaking,
please
give
their
name
and
address
for
our
records
all
right
tonight.
Our
first
secret
determination
is
for
the
applicant
United
group,
Pike
development.
Joint
venture
project
address
is
183
Water
Street.
C
My
name
is
Claire
Fisher
I
am
from
Woodham
planning
and
design
and
along
with
Tony
broguese
from
CJs
Architects
we're
going
to
be
presenting
the
Water
Street
Garage
project,
and
you
said
that
you
need
the
address
of
the
applicant.
Is
that
correct
sure?
So
my
office
address
would
be
142,
East,
State,
Street,
Suite
B
on
East,
Seneca
or
I'm.
Sorry,
Ithaca,
New,
York,
14,
850.
C
As
I
previously
previously
mentioned,
we
are
going
to
be
presenting
the
Water,
Street
Garage
project
and
Jacob,
if
you'd
like
to
progress
just
to
give
a
brief
overview
of
the
project
in
the
fall
of
2020,
the
State
of
Binghamton
issued
a
request
for
proposal
for
the
Redevelopment
of
the
municipal
parking
structure
that
was
located
at
183
Water
Street,
which
had
reached
the
end
of
its
useful
life
and
the
United
group.
C
The
proposed
building
footprint
as
you'll,
see
later
in
the
slides,
is
nearly
identical
to
the
previous
building
footprint
and
we'll
be
proposing.
The
new
use
will
also
be
a
parking
garage
with
some
additional
new
residential
units.
On
top
of
that,.
C
C
As
I
said,
the
old
parking
garage
there
has
been
demolished
at
this
time,
and
one
important
neighbor
to
note
is
to
the
South
Boscov's
is
directly
to
the
south
of
the
site
and
that's
just
an
enlargement
showing
the
site
with
the
little
red
balloon,
and
you
can
clearly
see
Boscov's
to
the
south
of
that
foreign
yep.
C
B
D
E
B
E
Direct
structural
connection,
but
there
will
be
a
connection
in
terms
of
particular
circulation.
There's
the
previous
parking
spots
so
part
of
the
design
of
the
new
parking
structure,
the
new
projects
that
remaining
Parking
Deck
with
the
new
parking
garage
so
that
there
still
has
okay
like
but
structurally.
Thank
you,
foreign.
C
And
so
moving
into
our
proposed
design,
we
are
looking
at
this
construction
of
a
new
building.
The
first
five
stories
will
be
a
parking
garage
with
about
500
parking
spaces
that
are
both
they're
meant
for
a
variety
of
uses,
they're
meant
to
serve
Boscov's,
patrons
any
building
residents
and
also
visitors
to
downtown
who
might
be
parking
there
for
other
uses,
and
it's
a
pretty
major
downtown
location.
C
So
we
anticipate
that
you
will
get
use
from
people
looking
to
attend
or
be
patrons
of
nearby
businesses,
as
well
as
well
as
the
top
five
stories
being
residential
units,
which
would
be
about
120
new
apartments
at
market
rate.
C
This
site
plan
shows
a
brief
overview
of
the
general
layout
for
parking.
As
you
can
see,
there
are
a
few
entrances,
the
entrances
along
Henry
Street
and
along
Water
Street,
and
then
this
diagram
is
just
showing
those
former
entry
and
exit
points.
So,
as
you
can
see
up
along
Center
Street,
thank
you.
We
are
proposing
that
that
not
be
a
main
or
be
used
for
entry
and
egress
at
this
point,
and
we
would
be
looking
at
using
both
Water
Street
and
Henry
Street
for
the
the
flow
of
traffic.
C
Excuse
me
and
then
so
at
the
time
that
our
after
the
RFP
was
proposed.
The
design
team
has
been
in
conversations
with
City
about
looking
at
the
sidewalk
and
outside
of
the
bounds
of
this
project
and
seeing
how
that
design
Works
to
enhance
the
streetscape
from
Mostly
from
a
street
tree
planting
and
a
lighting
sense.
So
we've
really
just
conceptually
begun
to
look
at
that
and
that's
what
this
graphic
is
illustrating
and
then
I'm
going
to
hand
it
over
to
Tony
to
talk
a
little
more
about
the
building.
Specifically.
F
Thank
you
in
case
you
didn't
catch
it
earlier.
My
name
is
Tony
Borges
and
I'm
with
CJs
Architects
I
work.
Our
office
is
at
755
Seneca,
Street,
Buffalo,
New
York,
so
I'm
just
going
to
go
generally
over
the
general
intent
from
the
design
standpoint
again.
A
lot
of
this
is
in
progress.
A
lot
of
this
is
actually
locked
in,
but
I
think
you
can
see
from
this
particular
site
plan
that,
as
Claire
mentioned,
the
building
itself
is
located
on
a
fairly
important
location
in
this
part
of
town.
F
Obviously,
the
Jason
C
to
Chenango
River
and
Water
Street
as
well,
go
to
the
next
slide.
This
image
that
you're
seeing
here
is
actually
an
image
that
was
submitted
as
part
of
the
original
RFP.
So
since
this
was
submitted,
we're
again
we're
working
on
design,
developing
the
design,
But,
ultimately
I,
think
what
we're
trying
to
show
here
is
the
scale
of
the
project.
F
So
again,
as
you
can
understand
from
looking
at
looking
at
that
massing
again,
the
five-story
parking
structure,
on
top
of
which
we
have
the
five-story
residential
building,
so
it'll
certainly
have
a
very
imposing
presence,
both
in
terms
of
people
as
they're,
moving
down
downtown
along
the
street
or
from
a
distance
as
they're
looking
back
towards
the
skyline.
F
So
again,
these
are
some
images
of
the
project
as
it's
progressed
since
the
RFP.
One
of
the
main
things
that
we're
looking
to
do
is
to
one
we've
been
working
with
the
city
in
terms
of
how
to
program
and
plan
the
parking
structure
and
also
the
intent
of
the
parking
structure
itself.
It'll
be
a
precast
concrete
parking
garage.
The
idea
is
to
keep
it
fairly
simple
parking
structure,
it'll
act
as
a
nice
simple
base
to
the
residential
massing
up
above
it
in
terms
of
the
residential
massing
itself.
F
The
intent
is
to
introduce
a
lot
of
different
or
a
number
of
different
cladding
systems,
so
whether
it's
through
texture,
color
module,
modular
treatment
or
relief,
we're
trying
to
break
up
the
length
of
the
of
the
facade,
particularly
along
Water
Street,
but
again,
to
create
some
some
variety
and
interest.
I'm.
Sorry,
if
you
go
back
to
one
slide
there,
just
the
one
point
here.
F
The
other
thing
we're
really
looking
at
too
is
to
try
to
create
some
to
try
to
treat
the
the
parking
structure
and
the
residential
as
one
complete
building
so
again,
trying
to
figure
out
ways
to
complement
sort
of
the
disparate
programs
one
to
the
other.
One
thing
we're
also
trying
to
do
is
accentuate,
for
example,
the
corner
of
Water
Street
North
Henry,
so
you
can
see
we've
developed
right
now.
F
This
idea
of
a
sort
of
a
glassy
Corner,
which
then
really
kind
of
marks
marks
the
corner
of
Washington
and
water,
I'm,
sorry,
Water,
Street
and
North
Henry
Street
and
again.
This
is
just
a
view
from
the
Northwest
again
just
giving
you
a
sense
of
again
the
treatment
of
of
material
and
the
massing
As.
You
move
around
so
again
trying
to
create
some
variety
to
the
massing
overall
I'm
going
to
run
quickly
through
these,
but
this
is
essentially
the
first
floor
plan
of
the
parking
structure.
F
As
Claire
mentioned,
we
we
have
two
different
entry
points,
one
off
of
Water
Street,
one
off
of
North
Henry
Street.
The
parking
area
off
of
Water
Street
is
intended
to
act
as
a
short-term
parking
essentially,
and
the
intent
is
that
it'll
be
metered
very
similarly
to
how
street
parking
is
metered
and
managed
the
entrance
off
of
North
Henry
Street
is
essentially
the
main
access
point
into
the
upper
part
of
the
parking
structure.
Up
above
what
you
see
in
the
plan
here
are
a
variety
of
different
functions.
F
On
the
lower
right
hand,
side
of
the
plan,
which
is
the
northeastern
corner
of
the
building
at
North,
Henry
and
Water
Street,
is
the
is
the
main
lobby
for
the
residential
program
up
above,
along
with
some
other
support
spaces
such
as
fire,
Command,
Center
mail
room
trash
holding
that
sort
of
thing
at
the
upper
left
hand
corner,
which
is
the
southwestern
corner
of
the
plan.
F
Again,
it'll
be
a
lot
more
utilitarian
type
of
functions
such
as
fire
pump
rooms,
electrical
rooms,
that
sort
of
thing-
if
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
all
we're
really
showing
here
is
a
typical
layout,
so
again
very
efficient
parking
structure.
F
From
that
standpoint,
if
you
go
up
one
more,
this
is
sort
of
a
typical
upper
upper
level
plan,
but
it's
very
subtle
here,
but
if
you
look
at
the
left
hand
side
of
the
image
there's
a
couple
of
red
there,
you
go
right,
that's
sort
of
the
ACT,
that's
the
access
proposed
access
point
to
the
top
of
Boscov's
that
we're
were
talking
about
before
to
that
remaining
parking
deck.
But
then,
as
you
move
up,
it's
really
the
same
parking
layout.
This
is
a
typical
residential
floor
plan.
F
So
again,
this
is
a
mix
of
one
bedroom
and
two
bedroom
units
for
a
total
of
120
units,
and
if
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
this
is
the
uppermost
the
10th
floor
level
really
the
same
layout
as
the
floors
below,
but
I.
Think
one
thing
just
to
point
out
is
that
there
is
the
intent
to
have
a
a
common
area
space
for
the
residents
Fitness
room
again,
common
space
and
meeting
outdoor,
Terrace
and
and
this
area
will
also
be
treated
I.
Think
with
some.
F
F
Again
these
are
just
the
general
elevations
that
I
think
we
could
probably
move
through
quickly
with
you
Jake,
but
again
the
same
idea
as
before,
trying
to
create
some
variety
breaking
down
the
scale
of
the
building,
so
that
the
building
has
some
some
interest
to
it,
both
from
a
pedestrian
level
and
from
and
when
it's
you
from
a
viewed
from
a
distance
with
that
I'll
pass
it
back
over
to
Claire.
C
So,
just
as
a
summary,
the
design
team
is
of
the
opinion
that
this
new
building
will
not
have
any
significant
environmental
impacts
due
to
the
fact
that
it
is
virtually
the
same
footprint
as
the
previously
existing
building,
which
is
also
a
parking
structure,
and
we
just
wanted
to
emphasize
that
we
see
this
project
as
providing
needed
housing
and
public
parking
spaces
in
a
very
impactful
area
of
downtown
Binghamton,
not
only
for
the
patrons
of
Boscov's
and
surrounding
businesses,
but
also
helping
to
alleviate
some
of
that
street
parking
in
Downtown
Binghamton
and
bringing
people
down
to
the
core
of
the
city
as
well,
and
with
that.
C
Thank
you
for
your
time.
If
there
are
any
questions
or
comments,
we'd
be
happy
to
take
those.
B
Hi
two
questions.
First,
one
may
be
directed
to
both
you
folks
as
the
applicant,
but
also
to
planning
in
some
of
the
material.
You
said,
the
the
new
structure,
that's
going
to
be
built
has
a
little
over
500
parking
spots.
Do
we
know
how
many
parking
spots
were
in
the
previous
building?
That's
been
demolished
like?
Is
this
a
net
plus
a
net
minus
and
that
neutral
I
can
get
that
answer
for
you,
okay,
I
do
not
know.
Okay,
second
question:
who
will
be
running
and
operating
the
parking?
Is
this
going
to
be?
F
The
the
parking
structure
will
actually
be
owned
by
the
city
and
operated
by
the
city.
The
United
group
will
be
leasing
the
air
rights
to
to
the
residential
up
above
for
the
residential
up
above
so
the
site's
still
is
with
with
the
city,
and
this
parking
structure
will
be
owned
and
managed
by
the
city.
G
Sorry
first
I'd
like
to
say,
is
a
very
impressive
plan
and
my
only
question
is
the
original
structure
deteriorated
from
Salt
corrosion
of
the
reinforcing
steel?
Do
you
have
any
not
to
get
into
design
details
but
like
any
high
level
approach
to
make
sure
this
structure
lasts
for
a
number
of
years.
F
I
think
what
we're
doing
is
we're
basically
using
what
are
considered
more
up-to-date
standards
with
regards
to
parking
garage
construction,
so
we're
working
closely
with
a
con
pre-stressed,
concrete
manufacturer
that
deals
with
all
these
structures
all
the
time,
so
certainly
any
any
building
any
especially
when
it
comes
to
a
parking
structure,
is
going
to
have
wear
and
tear
to
it.
So
I
think
there
will
be
considerations
in
the
design
of
the
Precast
members
to
ensure
that
there's
longer
life
to
to
the
structure
itself.
F
I
think
one
of
the
things
to
note
is
because
of
the
fact
that
we're
building
a
residential
building
over
top
of
the
parking
structure
that
does
provide
some
protection
as
well
as
opposed
to
sort
of
an
open-air
parking
structure.
So
again,
this
is
this
is
open
air
as
well,
but
it
will
be
covered
by
the
parking
by
the
residential
building.
Above
it.
H
I
have
a
question
it's
to
piggyback
on
Christian
about
parking.
Would
these
lead
structure?
Will
you
be?
How
many
parking
places
would
be
anticipate
would
go
to
the
people
living
in
the
apartment
so.
F
I
think
and
I
hope
I'm
not
saying
this
incorrectly.
The
the
idea
is
that
there's
not
necessarily
anything
that's
going
to
be
solely
dedicated
to
to
the
residents.
I
think
it's
open
to
the
public,
but
I
think
the
assumption
is
that
residents
will
be
some
of
the
main
users
of
the
parking
structure.
I
think
that's
the
entitlementing
I
think
I'm
getting
it
now
to
say
that
I've
got
that
correct,
so
yeah.
A
All
right
in
terms
of
disturbance,
are
you
over
an
acre,
so
you
have
to
do
a
storm
water
pollution.
C
So
the
sidewalks
are
I
think
that's
a
future
phase
of
work.
Jacob
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
I
believe
that
that
was
a
further.
You
know
in
the
future
phase
not
tied
directly
to
this
phase,
but
we
wanted
to
start
thinking
about
that
conceptually
so
that
there
would
be
something
to
base
it
off
of
in
the
future.
Gotcha.
C
A
A
Anybody
else
any
other
questions:
how
about
garbage
I
forgot
to
where's
where's
garbage.
F
Going
so
the
as
as
part
of
the,
if
you
remember
in
the
lower
right
hand
corner,
we
talked
about
a
main
lobby
for
the
building,
but
there's
also
Associated
functions
there.
So
in
that
gray
area
that
you're
seeing
there's
a
trash
company,
Jake's
pointing
it
out
for
us.
Thank
you,
Jake,
there's
a
whole
trash
holding
area
as
well,
so
presumption
is
when
trash
will
be
removed.
Those
those
bins
will
be
brought
out
for
trucks
to
take
and
then
they'll
be
brought
back
in
into
the
building.
A
All
right
excellent
plan,
there's
no
other
questions
or
comments.
I'll
make
a
motion
that
the
proposal
involves
the
construction
of
parking
for
over
500
Vehicles,
which
is
a
type
1
action
under
Seeker
coordinator
review,
will
be
required,
but
the
Planning
Commission
should
act
as
lead
agency.
H
A
A
D
A
A
I
Good
evening
Dominic
Emilio
I'm
with
CPL,
we
are
the
engineer
representing
the
applicant.
My
address
is
59
Port
Street,
Binghamton
13901.
The
applicant
is
Kearney
Realty
and
Development
Group.
They
are
out
of
Summers
New
York.
We
are
representing
them
tonight.
So
just
a
quick
summary
of
the
project.
I
We
are
talking
about
four
Lots
three
on
Henry,
one
on
Pine,
Chapman,
Street
or
the
stadium
that
the
the
applicant
is
going
to
be
purchasing
from
the
city
of
Binghamton
for
for
this
development,
so
those
lots
will
be
combined
into
one
prior
to
construction.
Once
we
have
everything
else
in
place,
so
the
you
may
have
seen
it
on
the
news,
but
the
development
calls
for
mixed
use
of
middle-income,
slash
artist,
housing
total
of
65
residential
units
am
I
coming
through
on
the
mic.
I
Okay,
total
of
65
units,
43
of
which
are
one
bedroom,
22
two
bedrooms
and
about
4
300
square
feet
of
commercial
space,
which
will
all
be
on
the
first
level
fronting
Henry
Street
in
addition
to
site
plan,
review
and
special
use
permit.
By
by
this
board,
we
are
seeking
a
number
of
variances
which
I
can
touch
on
very
quickly
here,
the
the
parcel,
the
one
of
the
four
Parcels
that's
on
Pine
Street
is
currently
zoned.
R2
and
This
falls
under
multi-family
housing.
I
So
we
need
to
use
variants
for
the
piece
of
the
construction
on
that
parcel.
That
was
actually
granted
last
week
by
the
zoning
board,
and
we
also
are
going
for
six
area
variances,
which
the
zoning
board
began
their
process
last
last
week
and
we'll
hopefully
finish
up
in
November.
Once
we
address
a
few
of
their
concerns,
those
area
variances
are
a
rear
setback
between
Henry
and
Pine
Street
parcels
we're
asking
for
72.4
percent
lock
coverage
where
70
percent
is
the
current
maximum.
I
We're
asking
for
55
foot,
building
height
or
45
foot
is
maximum.
That
Building
height
I
should
know
is
only
on
Henry
Street.
We
have
four
four
stories
on
Henry
Street
Pine
streets,
actually
believe
it
or
not.
12
or
14
feet
higher
than
Henry
Street.
So
as
we
lose
grade,
we'll
lose
a
level
on
Pine
Street,
so
at
Pine
Street,
our
our
building
is
only
36
feet
tall
in
the
Pine
Street
elevation.
I
Another
variance
is
21.
We're
requesting
21
parking
spaces
where
79
are
required,
and
the
two
off
Street
Lots,
which
are
part
of
the
same
application,
are
a
little
bit
further
than
the
250
foot
allowable.
So
the
Henry
Street
lot
is
276
feet
away.
I
So
that's
an
area
variance
and
the
Court
Street
lot
is
275
feet
away,
so
I'm
wearing
something
for
25
and
26
foot
variances
on
on
the
two
lines
also
going
to
it's
gone
to
Broome
County
for
239
review,
we've
gotten
some
of
their
comments,
but
I
believe
it's
gone
back
because
of
the
additional
information
we've
sent
a
few
things
to
touch
on
that.
The
zoning
board
is
already
brought
up
and
we
are
working
on.
We
haven't
they're,
not
reflected
in
our
materials
yet,
but
certainly
before
next
month
they
will
be.
I
One
of
them
is
garbage
right
now.
You'll
see
garbage
enclosure
on
Pine
Street
down
in
the
Southeast
corner
there,
the
site
The
Neighbors
in
in
the
zoning
board,
weren't
pleased
with
that
location.
I
I
What
will
be
the
first
level
on
Henry
Street
but
effectively
the
the
basement
of
Pine
Street
back
in
this
area
will
be
a
garbage
room
and
we're
gonna,
add
a
retaining
wall
and
a
path
down
the
side
of
the
building,
so
that
can
be
taken
out
to
Henry.
Instead
of
out
to
Pine
like
we
were
showing
which,
which
we
understood,
be
a
problem
and
and
definitely
heard
that
and
we're
doing
what
we
can.
So
that
was
one
issue
another
one.
That's
on
the
staff
report
was
bike
racks.
I
On
the
first
floor
plan,
you
will
see
a
bicycle
room
near
the
lobby.
The
lobby
for
the
residential
space
is
on
Chapman.
Street
I
should
point
that
out
and
right
right
inside
there
near.
The
lobby
is
a
bicycle
room.
I
We
we
do
also
want
to
provide
bike
racks
on
the
sidewalk.
You
know
we
again,
we
meet
the
requirement
in
the
building,
but
we
will
provide
them
on
the
sidewalk.
I
did
mention
it
to
Economic
Development
Department
of
the
city.
Who's
done
some
of
the
other
themed
bike
racks
throughout
downtown.
I
They
couldn't
commit
to
it
at
the
time
they
still
have
any
there.
You
know
at
the
moment,
but
they
are
committed
to
helping
us
with
that
and
if
nothing
else,
the
the
applicant
will
do
something
on
on
Henry
Street
for
bike
racks,
that's
not
a
problem,
and
then
the
last
issue
that
was
brought
up
the
zoning
board
and
by
a
neighbor
is
you
can
see
on
the
plan
here,
two
doors
down
to
the
east
on
Pine
Street.
There's
a
house
with
with
solar
panels
on
the
west
side
of
the
roof.
I
He
that
property
owner
raised
a
concern
that
that
this
side
of
the
building
would
have
a
detrimental
effect
on
his
solar
panels.
So
we
are
taking
a
look
at
that
and
we'll
provide
something.
I
can
say
a
few
things,
one
they
just
submitted.
I
I
just
saw
it
this
afternoon,
maybe
an
hour
ago
and
I'm
sure
you'll
be
seeing
it,
but
they
did
submit
a
little
bit
of
a
study
of
Their
Own
right
off
the
bat
I've
only
seen
it
on
the
phone
thus
far.
B
I
Meeting
the
neighbors-
yes,
okay,
yes,
the
property
owner
I-
saw
a
couple
things.
A
couple
flaws
in
that
right
off
the
bat
one
that
they're
showing
the
building
at
54
feet
tall,
which
is
not
the
case
on
Pine
Street,
only
36
feet
tall
and
at
first
glance
it
looked
like
the
analysis
was
somewhat.
Obviously
two-dimensional.
I
wasn't
taking
into
account
that
was
taking
into
account
the
angle
of
the
sun
compared
to
the
building,
but
not
compared
to
the
Horizon
necessarily
and
how
that
changes.
I
I
So
we
don't
again
just
just
based
on
what
I
just
said:
I,
don't
think
that's
necessarily
the
case.
The
other
thing
to
point
out
is
those
are
evening
hours
in
every
case
that
we
do
cause
them
some
shading
and
when
the
sun's
that
low
you're
not
getting
the
same
production
and
I'm
not
going
to
pretend
to
be
a
solar
expert
but
you're
not
getting
the
same
production
when
that
Sun's
hitting
the
solar
panel
at
such
a
low
angle.
I
I
So
there
is
a
point
in
time
where
it
looks
like
our
building's
having
an
effect
where
the
building
that's
already.
There
would
already
be
having
an
event,
probably
greater
than
that
is
the
tree
cover
in
this
area,
those
trees.
You
can
look
on
Google,
Earth,
they're
they're
much
much
taller
than
the
building,
in
particular
in
the
summer
months,
when
the
Sun
starts
to
set.
You
know
further
to
the
north.
I
Just
take
just
some
of
the
early
looks
I've
taken
at
the
at
the
solar
models.
Those
trees
have
a
have
a
very
big
impact
in
those
summer
months,
more
so
than
our
building
will
so
again.
Any
impact
our
building
has
is
is
somewhat
canceled
out
by
existing
impacts
of
the
the
existing
building
to
the
west
and
those
large
thick
trees
to
the
South
and
West.
K
My
office's
recommendation
that
the
office
of
Corporation
Council
would
recommend
that
the
applicant
submit
to
the
commissions
for
the
commission's
review
a
similar
type
of
shade
report,
so
that
it
can
give
full
consideration
to
some
of
the
facts.
You're
stating
in
light
of
the
submission
by
by
the
neighbor
of
their
own
absolutely.
I
And
we're
working
on
it.
This
just
came
up
last
week,
so
we
don't
have
anything
to
present
to
us
yet,
but
we'll
we'll
be
submitting
something
that
you'll
see
before
your
next
meeting
in
November
foreign
and
then.
Lastly,
the
other
thing
I
just
like
to
point
out
about
the
the
effects
on
the
solar
panels
is.
I
A
a
allowable
development
on
that
parcel
today
allows
for
35
feet,
maximum
Building
height
and
setbacks
less
than
what
we're
proposing.
So
a
permissible
use
can
go
forward
and
build
a
two-family
dwelling
on
that
law,
with
a
greater
impact
or
equal
to
or
greater
impact
than
what
we're
proposing.
So
that's,
perhaps
the
most
important
thing
to
point
out
is
that
we're
not
really
impacting
it
any
more
than
an
allowable
develop.
An
inaudible
use
would
have
so
with
that
I
will
take
any
questions
or
any
discussion.
You
want
to
have
all.
B
Hi,
so
to
go
over
a
couple
of
numbers
that
you
threw
out
earlier
in
your
presentation,
the
two
ancillary
parking
lots
will
have
how
many
spaces
total
21.
B
Street
and
how
many,
without
the
planning
commission's
waiver
would
your
project
require.
I
I
I
know
we're
outside
of
the
50
allowable
by
Planning
by
the
Planning
Commission,
and
that's
why
we're
going
to
the
area
variance
this
question's
been
asked
at
every
meeting.
So
far,
we've
been
to
the
zoning
board
twice
and
and
now
here
being
that
it,
you
know
well,
the
first
part
of
the
question
which
even
directly
asks
is,
is
why
don't
we
have
any
on-site
parking,
and
the
answer
to
that
is.
This
is
what
we
have
available.
I
You
know
this
is
what
the
city
has
available
to
purchase
and
we
got
to
hit
a
developer
has
to
hit
a
certain
number
of
bedrooms
to
make
this
whole
thing
financially
viable
and
someone
expelled
out
in
the
application
material
linking
into
more
detail.
If
you
want
being
off-site,
you
know
they've
seen
in
similar
developments
of
theirs
that
this
actually
has
like
a
positive
effect
on
the
neighborhood
just
creating
that
foot
traffic
that
right
now,
you
really
don't
see
much
of
on
Henry
Street
aside
from
game
day.
I
So
there's
that
and
then
on
the
the
direct
point
of
your
question,
is:
why
should
you
Grant
it
I,
guess
I'm
asking
the
we're
asking
the
zoning
board
to
Grant
the
variance
and
we're
just
asking
to
look
at
it?
As
a
you
know,
a
development
as
a
whole
and
the
benefits
it
has
on
the
neighborhood.
This
specific
site
was
called
out
in
the
stadium
District
master
plan
for
this
specific
type
of
development,
so
we're
really
trying
to
advance.
You
know
the
goals
of
the
city
and
and
studies
that
have
already
been
done.
B
I,
don't
don't
question
that
but
I
guess
my
concern
as
a
member
of
the
Planning
Commission
is
dumping
50
cars
onto
the
streets
and
making
that
neighborhood
a
challenge
for
on-speed
parking
I'm,
not
even
sure
how
many
parking
is
available
on
some
of
those
side
streets
with
I.
Don't
know
if
they're
even
are
there
many
parking
slots,
I,
don't
I!
That
makes
me
very
nervous.
I
think
I'll
be
very
big
and
the.
I
I
You
know
as
an
organization
I,
don't
know
how
that
affects
their
parking
or
if
any
of
those
conversations
have
taken
place.
You
know,
aside
from
game
night,
you
have
several
hundred
parking
spots
across
the
street.
I
B
A
Dominic,
maybe
would
help
who's
the
intended
renters.
I
So
these
are
middle
income,
it'll,
be
a
project.
You
know
partially
funded
and
financed
by
New
York
State
homes,
Community
Renewal.
I
I
E
I
Think
we
want
one
for
every
300
square
feet
of
of
commercial
space.
I
And
it's
again,
it's
it's
not
for
lack
of
trying.
The
unit
number
is
vitally
important
to
the
whole
of
the
development
being
successful
in
their
applications
to
State
yeah,
and
you
know
we're
fortunate
that
the
city
did
have
the
two
other
properties
to
throw
in
with
that.
So
we
could
get
some
part
of
them.
Yeah.
I
A
I
No,
no,
the
city
once
this
once
we
know
we
have
an
approved
project
between
all
these
approvals
and
and
HCR
Carney
development
will
purchase
all
six
from
the
city
right
before
that
the
building
will
go
on
will
become
one.
So
we'll
do
it.
You
know
a
lot
line.
Adjustment
gotcha
make
that
one
parcel
and
everything's
owned
and
operated
by
Barney.
All.
A
I
Not
a
I
I,
don't
when
you
say
they're,
not
making
money.
I,
don't
know
the
tax
structure.
So
I
can't
speak
to
that
yeah,
but
I,
but
I.
There
will
presumably
be
some
some
tax
revenue,
but
no
the
city
is
not
collecting,
rents
or
right
or
chart.
You
know
they're,
not
it's
not
a
revenue
generator
in
that
one
sure.
E
A
G
Just
two
two
things
Dominic:
this
is
Joe
D'angelo,
there's
a
program
out
there.
You
might
look
at
called
solar
Pathfinder.
That
will
do
all
that
we
will
do
all
that
modeling
for
you
on
the
solar
side,
yeah.
G
Was
just
talking
about
parking?
There
is
some
time
between
now
and
the
next
meeting
we're
in
the
first
stage
the
secret
stage
to
ask.
Could
we
ask
Dominic
to
come
back
and
elaborate
more
on
some
contingency
plans
for
parking
for.
I
Like
like
I,
said,
I
I
can't
speak
for
anybody,
but
there
is
a
large
parking
lot
across
the
street.
That's
bacon
99
of
the
time.
So,
okay-
and
this
is
a
good
development
for
the
rumble
Pony,
so
I'm,
assuming
that's
a
conversation
that'll
be
had
or
that
just
sort
of
something
that
was
formalized
at
this
point.
G
I
A
All
right,
any
other
questions
Dominic
how
how
many
square
feet
are
you
disturbing
on
this.
I
All
six
Parcels
are
under
one
acre,
I,
don't
remember
the
exact
number,
but
I
did
look
at
that.
Okay,
you
probably
figure
it
out
because
they're
all
approximately
55.
E
I
We
are
doing
an
herb.
We
will
do
an
herb
okay,
again
that'll.
You
can
make
your
contingency
on
that,
like
you,
probably
usually
do
and
we're
doing
porous
pavement
for
the
parking
lots
to
address
the
city's
requirement.
Okay
and
then
at
the
building.
A
All
right
and
I
guess
the
only
other
question.
So
one
of
the
driveways
to
one
of
the
parking
lots
was
really
close
to
the
intersection
of
the
road
that
leads
down
to
the.
I
Stadium
Street
yeah
yeah
there's
actually
an
existing
curb
there.
Now.
A
I
That
Lots
being
used
by
the
construction
of
the
fire
station
across
the
street
has
been
for
the
last
year.
Okay,
again,
they
just
put
down
gravel
and
and
started
parking
on
it
for
a
staging
area,
but
there
is
a
there
is
a
curb
cut
there.
Okay,.
I
E
I
We
will
replace
it
because
it's
kind
of
shoddy
the
way
it
is,
but
it
is
there
right
now:
okay,.
A
A
All
right,
if
there's
no
other
questions
or
comments,
I'll
make
a
motion
that
the
applicant's
proposal
is
an
unlisted
action
under
seeker
and
that
the
Planning
Commission
should
act
as
lead
Agency
for
review
all
right.
Second,
by
Chris,
all
in
favor
all
right.
Five
in
favor,
zero
opposed
and
I'll
make
a
motion
to
schedule.
A
public
hearing
for
the
project
at
5
30
at
our
November
meeting
seconded
by
Chris,
all
in
favor
all
right,
five
in
favor
zero.
Both
all
right,
we'll
see
you
back
in
November
all
right.
Thank.
E
A
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
the
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'll
open
the
public
hearing
and
allow
members
of
the
community
to
speak
about
the
applicant's
proposal
after
commission
has
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
A
Just
as
a
reminder
for
anyone,
unfamiliar
with
the
format
of
a
public
hearing,
we'll
be
opening
the
microphone
to
solicit
public
comment
about
a
specific
project.
That's
up
for
review
tonight.
Public
comments
should
be
directed
to
the
members
of
the
Planning
Commission
and
staff
and
not
directed
towards
the
applicant.
It
is
not
acceptable
for
any
member
of
the
public
to
enter
into
any
form
of
discussion
with
the
applicant
directly.
During
the
meeting.
A
The
commission
members
will
take
note
of
any
specific
questions
or
comments
that
come
up
during
the
public
comment
portion
of
the
meeting
and
when
there
are
no
additional
community
members
wishing
to
speak
about
the
project,
the
public
hearing
portion
of
the
meeting
will
be
closed
and
the
applicant
will
be
given
a
chance
to
respond.
The
commission
members
will
ask
the
applicant
to
comment
on
any
questions
that
were
brought
up
by
the
community.
A
If
they
are
relevant
to
our
review,
it
will
again
not
be
acceptable
for
any
members
of
the
public
to
attempt
to
enter
into
a
dialogue
with
the
applicants
while
they
respond
to
questions
or
comments
that
arose
during
the
public
hearing
all
right
so
tonight.
Our
first
public
hearing
is
for
the
applicant
Stonebridge
campus
living
the
project
address
is
221
Washington
Street.
This
is
a
site
plan,
modification
to
add,
basement
social,
slash
assembly,
space
to
multi-unit
dwelling
with
12
existing
units
and
45
total
bedrooms
in
the
C2
downtown
business
district.
J
So
this
applicant
was
unable
to
attend
today
for
religious
reasons
and
they're,
requesting
that
the
case
be
tabled
to
the
November
meeting.
That
being
said,
we
do
have
a
public
hearing,
and
so
anybody
here,
that's
looking
to
speak
should
be
allowed
to
do
so
and
then
you
can
leave
the
public
hearing
open
and
table.
It
wish
all.
A
Right
that
sounds
good
all
right,
well,
the
applicant's
not
here
so
he
won't
make,
or
they
won't
make
a
presentation
or
remind
us
what
the
the
project
is,
but
I
think
everybody's
familiar
with
the
requests
for
a
basement
development,
all
right.
Well,
the
applicant's
not
here,
but
we
will
open
the
public
hearing
since
it
was
advertised.
So
if
anybody
would
like
to
speak,
this
will
be
the
public
hearing
for
the
applicant
Stonebridge
campus
living
and
the
project
address
is
221
Washington
Street.
A
This
is
a
site
plan,
modification
to
add
basement
social
assembly
space
to
a
multi-unit
dwelling
with
12
existing
units
and
45
total
bedrooms
in
the
C2
downtown
businesses,
business
district,
there's.
Anyone
here
who
would
like
to
speak
about
the
project.
Please
come
up
to
the
microphone
and
state
your
name
and
address
for
our
records
and
we'll
just
go
in
order
as
people
come
down
to
the
microphone.
L
M
Yes,
we
own
a
business
right
next
door
to
the
proposed
location.
L
So
we
have
we're
hoping
that
it's
denied
because
of
the
frat
house
and
at
the
club,
and
it
affects
our
building,
which
is
next
door
and
our
businesses
that
we
also
own
and
run
next
door.
L
We
have
three
statements,
one
from
a
resident
one
from
our
partners
and
the
property
own
ownership
of
the
building
and
one
from
us
as
owner
operators
of
the
restaurant
in
the
building.
So
shall
we
read
them
all
or
do
you
have
them
to
read,
or
we.
J
A
L
L
Dear
all,
this
is
representative
to
propose
I'm
sorry.
This
is
responsive,
proposed
site
plan
modification
to
add
a
social
assembly
space
to
the
basement
of
an
existing
multi-unit
dwelling
for
use
by
residential
tenants.
The
multi-unit
dwelling
at
issue
is
located
at
221,
Washington
Street,
the
fraternity
house
as
the
owners
of
the
adjoining
property.
We
object
and
respect
respectfully
ask
that
the
same
be
denied,
as
you
may
all
know,
on
October
15
2010,
we
DD
Bing
properties,
DD
Bing,
purchase
the
renowned
mixed-use
Building,
located
at
217
219
Washington
Street
in
downtown
Binghamton.
L
We
remarked
on
we
embarked
on
a
journey
to
develop
this
property
and
committed
ourselves
to
our
financial
resource
and
our
financial
resources
to
that,
so
that
the
building
would
shine
and
again
attract
professional
and
small
businesses
to
the
downtown
area.
L
We
partially
Finance
this
development
through
the
Binghamton
local
development
corporations,
blbc
program,
the
bltc
wanted
to
attract
to
the
downtown
area
professionals
with
increased
spending
power,
the
businesses
who
would
and
businesses
who
would
provide
employment
to
the
residences
to
the
residents
and
further
develop
the
city's
offerings
and
infrastructure
by
removing
the
fraternity
from
the
street,
where
the
theater
and
Court
are
located,
and
by
remodeling
the
building
to
reflect
our
commitment
to
this
city.
We
have
achieved
the
goals
we
shared
with
the
city
of
Binghamton.
L
As
a
matter
of
fact,
the
blbc
recognized
this
on
numerous
occasions
and
named
our
project
as
one
of
the
successful
projects
they
helped
finance.
We
are
able
to
attract
a
professionals
as
our
residential
tenants,
be
businesses
to
our
building,
the
renowned
hair
salon
and
popular
and
beloved
restaurant
at
the
shop
and
other
businesses
in
the
immediate
vicinity.
The
Taco
Garage
garage
taco
bar
these
businesses
in
turn
hired
a
number
of
employees
added
a
sense
of
sophistication
and
improved
the
image
and
quality
of
life
of
the
downtown
area.
L
Several
years
ago,
the
adjoining
property
at
221,
Washington
Street,
was
turned
into
a
paternity
house.
This
obviously
was
not
the
vision
that
the
city
of
Binghamton
shared
with
us
when
we
purchased
our
property.
The
fraternity
house
has
since
been
used
been
using
the
basement
space,
the
social
assembly
space
in
question.
As
a
club
charging
cover
and
serving
alcohol
to
underage
students.
L
We
have
had
to
endure
a
number
of
issues.
First,
we
had
an
increased
vacancy
rate
because
the
residential
tenants
did
not
want
to
live
next
to
a
fraternity
house.
Second,
our
residential
tenants
had
multiple
complaints
and
police
reports
relating
to
noise,
disturbances,
litter
and
unsafe
conditions.
Third,
our
business
tenants
have
dealt
with
conflicts,
destruction
of
property
and
economic
consequences
of
closing
operations
at
times
due
to
daytime
party
events
such
as
pub
crawl
and
Santa
Con.
L
These
this
past
spring,
the
socialism
social
assembly
space
was
condemned
by
the
city
of
Binghamton
code
enforcement.
This
has
provided
relief
from
the
invasive
activity
of
the
fraternity.
The
fraternity
house
now
seeks
to
up
the
ante.
They
ask
for
a
blessing
to
officially
turn
their
basement
into
a
social
assembly
space.
A
party
basement
Club
not
only
for
the
fraternity
member
tenants,
but
also
for
their
friends
or
even
anybody
and
any
everybody
else
advertise
to
through
social
media.
L
Turning
a
blind
eye
to
the
realities
of
this
social
assembly.
Space
in
turn
would
irreparably
harm
our
business.
Our
residential
tenants
would
move
out
as
they
would
not
want
to
live
next
to
a
nightclub.
Our
business
tenants
would
suffer
financial
hardship,
endure
continuous
conflicts
and
property
destruction.
L
In
the
basement
of
the
fraternity
house,
the
increased
health
risk
and
fraternity
house
tenants
frequently
as
the
fraternity
house
residents,
frequently
leave
litter
and
trash
around
our
building,
which,
in
places
where
food
safety
is
a
Paramount
importance,
May
create
unsanitary
and
unsafe
conditions
for
tenants
and
businesses
and
business
employees
and
customers
etc.
For
the
above
reasons,
we
respectfully
ask
that
proposed
site
plan
modification
be
denied
best
regards
our
partners
of
DD
Bing
property,
so
that
is
from
our
partners.
We
also
have
a
statement
from
us,
so
we
are.
L
L
If
this
site
plan
modification
is
approved
just
over
a
decade
ago,
DD
being
properties
partnered
with
the
bldc
to
rehab
the
vacant
building
previously
of
fraternity
and
acquired
in
the
state
of
a
vertical
slum
located
at
217-219
Washington
Street,
we
built
15
market
rate
Apartments,
as
required
by
the
bldc,
as
well
as
two
commercial
spaces
bringing
the
building
back
to
life.
The
commercial
space
spaces
have
been
operating
successfully
as
a
hair
salon
entering
its
ninth
year
of
business
and
as
a
restaurant.
L
The
shop
in
its
eighth
year
of
operation
after
getting
our
building
up
and
running
221
Washington
Street,
the
building
adjoining
hours,
was
converted
into
a
multi-bed
student
housing
designed
to
accommodate
large
groups
such
as
fraternities.
The
basement
space
was
originally
built
as
a
gym
and
a
party
room,
but
has
been
used
as
a
nightclub
with
cover
charges
all
night,
DJs
and
underage
drinking.
The
club
was
in
operation
most
weekends,
starting
from
Thursday
nights
and
going
on
into
Sunday
nights
for
several
years.
L
We
are
asking
that
the
Planning
Commission
disallowed
the
running
of
this
fraternity
nightclub
by
denying
the
state
the
site
change
modification
proposal.
Please
consider
that
as
Property
Owners
landlords
and
restaurant
owners,
we
are
in
similar
businesses
to
our
neighbors,
but
hold
all
the
necessary
permits,
licenses,
insurances
and
certificates
of
occupancy,
unlike
the
menacing
illegal
nightclub
next
door.
The
running
of
this
club
is
consequential.
L
Please
consider
it
the
following
and
now
I'm
just
going
to
go
over
a
few
examples
of
all
of
the
stakeholders
that
are
affected
by
the
running
of
this
club,
the
landlords
as
landlords.
We
must
proclaim
the
potential
profession
I'm,
sorry
to
potential
professional
market
rate,
tenants
that
the
fraternity
next
door
runs
a
nightclub
on
the
weekends.
L
This
makes
renting
very
difficult.
We
have
lost
many
respectable
tenants
with
broken
leases
due
to
noise
and
Menace
and
the
Menace
of
the
club,
including
local
attorney
Garrett
Lanes.
We
endure
constant
property
damage
from
roof
to
facade,
as
well
as
litter,
vomit
and
urination.
The
tenants
experience
com,
our
tenants,
experience
conflict
with
and
much
more
with
when
the
club
is
in
operation,
an
example
being
an
underage
female
who
broke
into
our
building.
L
This
was
literally
just
a
couple
months
ago
and
into
attendance
apartment
to
then
pass
out
on
our
tenant's
bathroom
in
our
tennis
bathroom
another
example
being
inappropriate
verbal
exchanges,
including
profanities,
with
a
tenant
who
happens
to
be
the
chair
of
the
Binghamton
University
English
Department,
while
bringing
his
four-year-old
daughter
home
during
the
evening.
L
As
a
restaurant,
we
have
lost
an
estimated
ten
thousand
ten
thousand
dollars
in
annual
revenue
due
to
the
closing
of
operations
during
daytime
party
events
such
as
bu
pub,
crawl
and
SantaCon,
as
our
clientele
is
intolerant
of
the
day-long
clubbing
and
drunken
behavior
in
the
street,
just
outside
our
storefront.
In
addition,
we
have
been
forced
to
opt
out
of
outdoor
seating,
leading
to
further
loss
in
potential
revenue
and
very
disappointed
customers
as
nightly
destruction
of
the
party
property,
including
plants,
Planters
streetscape,
litter,
vomit,
storefront,
urination
and,
as
it
was
far
too
excessive.
L
We
can
speak
to
the
owners
of
the
salon,
steel
and
Trust
our
commercial
tenants
to
further
exemplify
the
disruption
of
business
experience
during
open
evening
hours
and
during
daytime
party
events.
When
the
fraternity
operates
as
a
club,
they
have
not
only
canceled
plan
appointments
on
these
days,
but
have
also
experienced
conflict
between
staff,
clients
and
paternity
Club
goers
an
example
being
an
incident
during
a
bu
pub
crawl.
When
a
young
man
exposed
himself
while
urinating
on
their
front
door,
while
the
mother,
a
mother
and
her
young
child
were
exiting
after
an
appointment.
L
We
would
like
to
conclude
that
we
as
property
and
business
owners
in
Binghamton
New
York,
are
sincerely
appreciative
of
the
Vibrance
that
the
students
bring
to
this
town.
We
feed
them.
We
host
them.
We
host
their
celebrations.
We
host
their
families,
they
are
vital
to
our
local
community.
We
simply
plead
that
the
proposal
for
a
site
plan
modification
to
add
a
social
assembly
space
which
absolutely
is
a
fraternity
nightclub,
be
denied
by
your
committee
on
our
block
with
the
Forum
theater,
the
federal
courthouse,
the
market
rate
apartments
and
the
businesses.
L
This
is
not
an
appropriate
fit
for
a
club.
We
sincerely
appreciate
your
help
and
support
in
this
matter,
so
that
our
property
and
small
business
can
continue
to
thrive
in
this
community.
L
That
is
our
statement
and
we
have
one
statement
from
a
tenant.
It's
a
lot
shorter.
His
name
is
Thomas
marchevsky,
dear
Planning
Commission.
My
name
is
Thomas
marchevski
and
I
am
a
former
bu
student
and
current
resident
of
Binghamton
I've
been
I've
having
been
raised
in
Staten
Island
I
attended
the
University
from
2002
to
2006,
after
which
I
moved
back
to
New
York
City,
seeking
better
opportunities
for
myself.
L
I
returned
to
Binghamton
in
2015
to
pursue
my
passion
in
the
food
service
industry
as
a
resident
of
217
Washington
Street
I
strongly
object
to
the
addition
of
a
social
assembly
space
in
the
basement
of
221
Washington
Street.
To
be
very
clear,
the
tenants
of
this
location
are
not
interested
in
a
community
service.
What
they
want
is
to
charge
money
to
throw
frat
parties
where
underage,
shrinking
and
drug
use
are
encouraged.
I
have
professional
I've
personally
witnessed
and
can
testify
to
the
consequences
of
these
parties.
L
Multiple
noise
complaints
filed
with
the
Binghamton
Police
Department
of
open
container
and
underage
shrinking
public
urination
during
including
on
the
federal
courthouse,
vomit
and
garbage
on
the
sidewalk
hazardous
drunken
behavior
in
the
middle
of
the
street,
the
destruction
of
public
and
private
property,
including
destruction
of
handicapped
parking
posts,
since
the
basement
of
221
was
condemned
by
the
city
of
Binghamton.
I
have
been
relieved
to
find
that
the
level
of
disturbance
on
Washington
Street,
my
neighborhood,
is
significantly
reduced.
L
I
would
kindly
ask
the
members
of
the
commission
to
imagine
how
they
would
feel
having
a
social
assembly
space
like
this
one
next
to
their
homes.
For
the
good
of
this
block
this
downtown
and
this
community.
Please
deny
the
proposal
addition.
The
proposed
Edition
to
221
Washington
Street,
sincerely
Thomas
marchevsky.
L
That's
everything
we
have
so
this
is
next
time
next
month
now,
so
we're
just
asking
that
you
did
not
this
proposal.
A
Will
be
okay
at
the
next
meeting?
Excuse
me,
the
public
hearing
will
stay
open
and
we
won't
need
you
to
read
them
again,
but
they're
entered
into
the
record
now.
Okay
and
hopefully
we
all
took
notes
and
I,
took
notes
and
we'll
make
sure
we
ask
a
lot
of
questions
when
they
come
to
present
at
the
next
meeting.
Thank.
A
A
A
All
right
seeing
nobody
else
coming
down
to
the
microphone
we're
going
to
leave
the
public
hearing
open.
So
we
won't
close
that,
but
the
applicant's
not
here
to
respond
so
I'll
make
a
motion
to
table
the
project
until
the
next
meeting,
all
right.
Second,
by
Chris,
all
in
favor
all
right,
five
in
favor,
zero,
a
post.
A
All
right
so
on
to
our
next
public
hearing,
so
this
is
public
hearing
for
the
applicant
Family
Enrichment
Network.
The
project
address
is
25
Doubleday
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
districts.
E
H
Nick
I
have
to
give
disclosure
I'm
confident
I.
Can
you
know
objectively
remember,
but
I've
worked
for
family
and
Road
shipment
Network
in
April
before
so
just
so
everybody
on
the
panel
knows:
okay
and
I've
worked
for
a
Family
Enrichment
Network
before
in
the
past,
so
I
just
had
to
disclose
that
that's
you
know,
have
a
relationship
with
them.
So
if
anything,
I
worked
as
a
fundament
fund,
development
and
events,
planner.
H
I
worked
closely
with
with
April.
K
Well,
you
might
not
have
an
actual
pecuniary
gain
or
conflict
to
the
appearance
of
propriety.
We
would
recommend
motion
to
recuse
recuse,
okay
at.
A
I
Thank
you,
I'm
Kenneth,
gay
from
Keystone
Associates
with
the
Architects
for
a
Family
Enrichment
network.
My
address
is
the
B8
Exchange
Street
from
Binghamton
I'll.
Give
you
a
brief
overview
of
the
plans
that
are
for
you
there's
been.
There
has
not
been
any
changes
to
the
plan
since
our
last
time.
However,
we
did
discuss
some
things
during
the
secret
presentation
that
we'll
address
the
project
consists
of
the
renovation
of
a
building
located
at
the
end
of
at
the
rear
of
Saint
Paul's
Church.
I
The
Family
Management
Network
intends
to
purchase
this
property
and
a
portion
of
the
parking
lot,
which
is
defined
by
the
red
on
the
site
and
renovate
the
facility
for
10
one
bedroom
housing
unit.
There
is
some
office
space
and
community
room
on
the
first
floor
as
we're
trying
to
Salvage
the
pretty
ornate
community
room.
On
that
first
floor
it
was
a
chapel.
At
one
time
we
propose
eight
parking
spot
spaces
for
the
property
adjacent
to
the
proposed
renovation.
I
We
are
not
planning
any
additions
to
this
building,
except
for
a
handicap,
ramp
accessible
ramp
off
the
parking
lot
in
that
area
right
there
and
we
will
be
removing
the
red
fire
escape.
That's
on
the.
I
I
The
items
that
we
discussed
last
time
in
regards
to
the
property
were
an
e,
a
permanent
easement
that
would
be
established
between
the
Family,
Enrichment
Network
and
St
Paul's
Church
to
allow
car
traffic
from
the
parking
spaces
through
there.
I
'll
be
entrance
right
here
and
it's
one-way
traffic
as
as
deemed
with
the
existing
and
those
are
existing
spaces
right
there.
There
are
additional
ones
here.
However,
the
church
would
like
to
maintain
that
portion
of
the
garage
building
as
part
of
their
ownership,
and
we
didn't
want
to
block
that
we
have
worked
with
or
I
should
say,
April
and
her
group
that
Family
Enrichment
have
worked
with
the
the
owner
to
include
that
in
part
of
the
purchase
price
and
it's
just
oh,
the
the
permanent
easement
for
that
traffic
flow.
I
It's
right
now
being
reviewed
by
the
Archdiocese
of
Syracuse.
There
was
a
question
regarding
the
a
buffer
between
the
or
a
barrier
between
the
parking
spaces
for
our
residents
and
the
church
goers
and,
as
we
discussed
last
time,
that
was
in
the
staff
findings,
we
didn't
feel
that
that
was
something
we'd
like
to
do
only
because
the
ease
for
snow
removal
and
not
have
a
pile
up
and
really
be
a
hindrance
to
both
Growth
Properties.
I
At
that
point
and
I
think
the
other
question
was
regarding
the
red
fire
escape
and
I
I've
addressed
that.
I
Currently,
this
this
project
is
well,
this
project
will
and
April's
group
is
seeking
funding
through
the
through
the
New
York
State,
and
we're
trying
to
get
approval
of
this
project
before
we
seek
the
funding
as
opposed
to
getting
funding
and
not
have
to
be
approved.
All.
A
N
I
can
speak
to
that
a
little
bit,
so
we
in
2021
received
State
funding
through
the
Empire
State
Supportive
Housing
Initiative,
to
offer
supportive
permanent
Supportive
Housing
to
10
individuals
experiencing
homelessness
and
through
that
Grant
it
will
fund
all
of
your
support
services.
So
your
case
management,
your
life
skills,
your
security
officer
and
maintenance,
as
well
as
a
portion
of
the
housing
director's
salary.
The
next
component
of
this
funding
is
through
the
hhap
and
that's
a
homeless
housing
assistance
program.
N
So
with
that,
we're
seeking
Capital
funding
and
the
sale
of
the
church
is
just,
as
we
said,
is
pending
approval
through
the
Archdiocese
and
that's
for
ninety
five
thousand
dollars.
A
All
right
sounds
great
any
questions
before
we
open
a
public
hearing.
Oh
Chris,.
B
This
I
know
we
talked
a
little
bit
about
this
last
month,
but
just
to
make
sure
it's
on
the
record,
with
the
asking
for
the
reduction
in
the
parking
spaces,
the
residents
given
the
nature
of
the
residents,
maybe
they're,
probably
gonna,
be
without
cars,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
this
we're
not
dumping
75
cars
on
the
street.
B
E
K
N
Yep,
so
that's
part
of
the
deal
we
addressed
that
with
St
Paul's.
They
presented
that
information
to
the
Archdiocese
and
frankly,
they're
willing
to
negotiate
that
with
us.
It's
not
going
to
increase
the
price
at
all
and
they're
looking
to
get
rid
of
that
property
because
maintaining
that
is
just
too
expensive
and
costly.
You
know
for
them
right
now,
so
if
I
don't
see
it
being
an
issue.
K
D
I
I'll
add
one
thing
that
was
discussed
during
last
month's
meeting:
I
think
it
was
by
Council
was
right
now
it's
two
separate
parcels
and
we
were
not
opposed
to
combining
that
into
one
I
believe
Council
felt
that
that
was
going
to
provide
that
an
easier
process
with
the
Supreme
Court.
A
A
All
right:
well,
let's
open
the
public
hearing
and
just
see
if
there's
anybody
here
to
speak
about
the
project,
all
right.
So
this
is
the
public
hearing
for
the
applicant
Family
Enrichment
Network.
The
project
address
is
25
Doubleday
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.
If
there's
anybody
who
would
like
to
speak
about
the
project,
please
come
to
the
microphone.
J
We
did
receive
an
email
six
minutes
ago
that
I
could
read
into
the
record
whenever
you're
ready
all
right.
Let's
hear
it.
This
is
from
Lisa
M
young
at
26,
Doubleday
Street
I
request
that
the
matter
be
tabled
for
another
meeting
to
allow
me
to
attend
personally
due
to
the
reasons
I've
outlined
in
telephone
calls.
I'm
a
handicapped
senior
who's
having
surgery
tomorrow
only
received
notice
of
this
mid
to
late
last
week
and
have
yet
to
see
any
of
the
materials.
J
Again,
I'm
property
owner
of
26
Doubleday
Street,
the
application
should
be
denied
because
there's
no
reason
to
put
a
homeless
shelter
in
this
neighborhood.
It
seems
the
only
reason
for
it
is
that
the
church
got
a
grant,
had
a
building
available
and
chose
to
use
it.
There
are
no
resources
for
the
homeless.
In
this
neighborhood
I
personally
tried
to
extend
my
Apartments
to
formerly
homeless.
J
I
can't
tell
you
how
many
times
they
lose
their
housing
allowance
because
of
missing
DSS
appointments
Etc,
because
it's
too
difficult
to
get
downtown
to
DSS.
They
missed
the
bus.
The
bus
doesn't
come,
Etc,
there's
no
nearby
other
resources
like
mhas
the
VA
Etc.
That
would
help
the
homeless.
This
is
a
bedroom
community.
J
There
is
a
church
there,
but
it's
locked.
Almost
all
the
time
runs
no
programs
to
the
public
that
I've
ever
seen,
there's
already
some
sort
of
housing,
a
few
blocks
closer
to
downtown
for
the
homeless,
which
I
am
aware
of
because
of
involvement
with
so
I
know
firsthand
what
goes
on
at
such
places.
J
The
people
hang
outside
the
building
litter
and
create
noise
planting
a
homeless,
shelter
across
the
street.
From
my
little
two
family
house
will
effectively
ruin
the
value
of
my
property,
who
would
want
to
rent
there
after
that
never
mind
buy
my
building.
J
J
Why
would
it
be
appropriate
for
such
a
facility
to
be
located
in
this
quiet
end
of
double
day,
which
is
simply
a
bedroom
community?
My
property
is
removed
from
the
gas
station
and
Quick
Mart
and
the
noise
of
Shenango
street,
but
a
project
like
this
will
make.
It
seem
like
more
of
a
commercial
area,
certainly
needing
a
manager.
There
makes
it
a
business
facility
more
like
a
hotel
or
Salvation
Army
type
establishment
than
a
residence
10.
One
bedroom
units
is
an
idealized
dream
for
that
project.
A
A
All
right,
some
slightly
offensive
things
putting
that
email,
but
I
guess
we'll
give
you
an
opportunity
to
comment
if
you'd
like
to.
N
N
N
We
would
have
a
case
manager
on
site
to
assist
individuals,
as
we
know
that
these
individuals
are
persons
who
have
experienced
homelessness
or
are
experiencing
homelessness.
They
could
be
coming
out
of
a
shelter,
they
could
be
unsheltered
and
so,
of
course,
they're
going
to
need
some
assistance
with
becoming
successful
with
daily
living
skills
and
just
self-sufficiency
in
general
living
a
skills
training
will
be
offered.
We
offer
various
classes
and
workshops,
they're
not
required,
but
they're
offered.
N
A
security
guard
would
be
on
site,
24
7.
No,
these
are
independent
apartments
or
individuals
to
live
independently.
We
just
offer
skills
to
help
support
individuals.
E
A
All
right,
yeah
I,
think
you
covered
everything.
Anybody
have
any
last
questions
comments,
concerns.
N
Just
wanna
I
wanna
make
this
point
that
this
is
not
part
of
the
church's
project.
This
is
not
grant
funding
that
the
church
is
receiving,
that
this
grant,
funding
that
our
agency
and
non-profit
would
be
receiving
and
we're
purchasing
the
property
from
the
church,
so
there's
no
affiliation
there.
All.
E
A
A
A
A
A
I
think
I'd
like
to
start
by
asking,
what's
going
on
with
this
fraternity
house,
that
is
not
a
paternity
house
at
221,
Washington
Street
everybody
that
talks
about
it
says
it's
a
fraternity
house,
but
they've
confirmed
that
they've,
not
it's
not
registered
as
a
fraternity,
house,
I
believe
so
I
don't
mean
to
look
at
you,
Greg
I,
just
I
know
this
will
fall
to
you.
Eventually.
A
J
Fairly
clear
that
the
residents
are
the
paternity.
What
the
applicants
said
last
time
was
that
they're
not
a
recognized
fraternity,
which
means
they've,
they've
lost
official
recognition
from
the
University,
but
that
doesn't
mean
that
they're
not
a
a
social,
paternity.
J
Do
have
we
were
provided
yeah,
so
fraternities
are
no
longer
use
in
our
zoning
code,
they're
sort
of
lumped
under
congregate
living
now,
if
the
applicant,
unless
the
applicant
is
officially
declaring
that
this
is
a
paternity
house
and
not
just
a
multi-unit
dwelling
and
and
asking
for
that
congregate
living
approval,
I,
don't
know
we
I
guess
we
would
have
to
investigate
and
try
to
confirm.
We
do
have
some
police
reports
that
were
provided
that
I
didn't
upload,
because
I
knew
we
would
be
tabling
this
today.
J
A
J
A
J
They
got
approval
for
a
multi-unit
dwelling
yeah,
whatever
the
the
breakdown
was
on
the
agenda.
I
think
is
it
12
units.
E
B
I
do
want
to
raise
this
point
last
month
during
the
Zoom
meeting,
which
is
recorded
correct,
so
yes
review
those
review,
the
tapes,
the
applicant,
because
I
think
there
are
three
people
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
land
owner
the
building
owner,
and
there
seemed
to
be
some
sort
of
confusion
amongst
them
about
whether
or
not
they
are
renting
all
50-something
units
to
one
one
big
lease
or
we
just
happen
to
be
50
individual
leases
that
just
all
happen
to
work
out
that
they're
all
Buddies
I'm,
not
sure.
B
J
They
do
not
physically
it's
broken
up
into
Apartments.
J
The
fact
that
it's
leased
to
one
group
that's
sort
of
a
gray
area,
there's
nothing
really
preventing
that.
J
H
So
may
I
ask
a
question
so
say
we
deny
that's.
This
is
what
they
want
to
do.
They're
already
doing
so.
What's
the
what's
the
report
well,.
J
H
J
If
they're
using
it
as
an
elite
like
they
don't
have
approval
for
the
land,
use
yeah
they
could
be
cited
and
prosecuted
and
I
think
declines
would
be
they
were.
