Yo,
how
are
the
renovations
coming
to
the
the
boardroom.
A
They
are
nearing
completion,
you
mean
the
the
chambers
city,
council
chambers,
yes
chambers.
The
major
structural
stuff
is
done
now,
they're,
trying
to
upgrade
some
of
the
sound
system
and
some
of
the
other
features
like
that.
B
They
changed
those
lights,
those
are
leds
now.
The
the
humming
is
a
lot
less
annoying,
but
it's
still
there's
still
a
little
humming.
A
D
All
right,
5,
15.
D
All
right
we're
all
set
to
start.
B
Yes
looks
like
we
have
a
quorum.
D
All
right,
hello,
everyone
welcome
to
the
march
meeting
at
the
city
of
binghamton
planning,
commission.
My
name
is
nick
corker
and
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.
It
does
look
like
we
have
more
than
four
members,
but
we
will
do
roll
call
first
to
make
sure
so.
D
The
first
item
on
the
agenda
is
roll
call.
Mario
defolio,
here
paul
o'brien.
D
Paul's
not
here
yet
joe
d'angelo
eric
chris
judges.
I
think
he
said
he
was
not
going
to
be
here.
Kelly
weiss.
E
D
What,
if
we
did
this,
what
if
we,
when
we
have
to
do
anything
where
we
vote
I'll
call
on
kelly
and
if
she's,
okay,
keeping
her
camera
on,
she
can
just
put
a
thumbs
up
for
a
thumbs
down?
Is
it
or
write
on
the
oh,
you
could
you
could
type
in
the
chat
as
well?
I
think
at
the
bottom
right,
yeah.
D
Luckily,
there's
only
one
item
on
the
agenda
tonight,
so
if
we'll
try
and
keep
an
eye
on
kelly
and
if
she
starts
waving
her
hands
in
front
of
the
camera,
we'll
look
to
the
chat
to
see
what
she
has
to
say.
All
right.
Well,
kelly
is
present
and
did
paul
or.
A
D
All
right,
so
we
got
mario,
joe
kelly
and
myself.
So
that's
four
members
that
are
here
and
that
does
constitute
quorum
and
we
can
proceed
if
anybody
else
comes
on.
We'll
make
a
note
as
we
go
all
right.
So
the
only
item
on
our
agenda
for
tonight
is
a
seeker
determination.
D
So,
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
delivery
and
then
either
set
a
public
hearing
date
for
the
project
or
request
additional
information.
F
G
B
G
Okay,
that
sounds
good
all
right,
so
this
is
for
105
murray
street.
It
is
an
existing
two-story
building
with
a
full
basement.
It
is
currently
occupied
as
a
one-dwelling
unit.
There
are
seven
bedrooms
total,
so
currently
it
is
occupied
by
some
binghamton
university
students.
It's
a
group
of
seven
that
rents
all
seven
bedrooms
within
the
within
the
property,
and
what
amicus
would
like
to
do
is
they
would
like
to
separate
it
into
two
dwelling
units.
G
The
dwelling
unit
on
the
first
floor
would
have
three
bedrooms.
There
is
an
existing
kitchen
on
the
first
floor
on
the
second
level,
there
would
be
four
bedrooms
and
they
will
be
putting
in
a
new
kitchen.
So
I
think
the
key
here
is
that
there
is
no
addition
or
deletion
of
bedrooms
it's
to
stay
exactly
as
it
is.
Currently,
it's
really
just
a
matter
of
changing
it
from
a
one
dwelling
unit
to
two
dwelling
units
on
the
site,
so
we
provided
you
with
a
site
plan
that
you
have
up
on
the
screen.
G
Now,
where
we
looked
into
some
of
the
restrictions
for
code.
G
I
believe
that,
through
discussions
with
tito,
the
sort
of
way
that
we're
proposing
this
is
congregate,
living
and
so
that's
where
some
of
the
distinctions
in
terms
of
you
know
the
setback
and
the
parking
and
requirements
were
pulled
from.
So
I
think
another
big
thing
with
the
site
plan
is
there's
currently
in
the
back
of
the
site,
an
existing
two-car
garage.
G
That's
going
to
be
removed
under
a
separate
project,
it's
sort
of
dilapidated
at
this
point
that's
going
to
get
removed,
but
none
of
the
impervious
surface
there's
no
plan
for
changing
any
of
that
any
of
the
existing
vegetation.
There's
an
existing
treated
wood
deck
in
the
back
and
covered
porches
on
the
side
in
the
front.
That's
all
going
to
remain
as.
F
G
G
If
you
want
to
move
to
the
other
side
yeah
there
you
go
so
now,
when
you
enter
from
the
front,
you'll
actually
be
going
upstairs
to
the
second
level
unit.
So
that's
a
big
there's
sort
of
a
distinction
in
that
way
and
then,
on
the
second
level,
you'll
see
where
there's
currently
a
bathroom
they're,
changing
that
over
into
the
bathrooms
in
the
back
and
a
kitchen
sort
of
in
the
middle
middle.
On
that
right,
side
of
the
space
and
then
downstairs
it's
really
a
matter
of
changing.
G
There's
a
existing
living
room,
but
that's
going
to
become
bedroom
number
two
and
they're
kind
of
splitting
the
living
space
between
the
right
side
of
the
plan
and
the
left
side
of
the
plan,
but
that
kitchen
in
the
back
and
those
bathrooms
are
all
existing.
On
the
first
floor,
that's
the
current
schematic
proposal
that
paul
wants
to
do
for
the
for
the
property,
so
how's.
That
for
an
explanation,
does
that
give
enough
information
for
consideration.
A
B
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
comment
if
I
could
yes,
just
to
clarify
something
from
the
staff
report
that
I
guess
it
was,
it
wasn't
written
super
clearly,
the
reason
the
parking
spaces
are
being
called
non-compliant
is
because
there's
a
minimum
driveway
width
of
nine
feet.
B
Most
of
the
driveway
meets
that
requirement,
but
the
first
floor
entry,
the
coverage
stairway
on
the
side
of
the
building,
makes
that
portion
of
the
driveway
too
narrow,
and
so
everything
behind
that
point
technically
is
not
a
compliant
space
and
only
the
parking
space
before
that
that
covered
entrance
can
be
counted
to
meet
the
parking
requirement.
B
So
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
this
is
a
local
landmark,
and
so
the
planning
commission
has
the
authority
to
reduce
the
parking
requirement,
but
you
certainly
don't
have
to
do
that.
If,
if
parking
is
a
concern
for
you.
D
D
Well,
I'm
not
sure
how
everybody
else
feels,
but
but
we
recently
revised
the
code
specifically
to
limit
the
ability
to
do
some
of
these
types
of
renovations
if
there
wasn't
enough
room
to
provide
on-site
parking,
so
I
think
parking
probably
is
an
issue
for
this
project.
So
what
was
the
total
number
of
required
parking
spaces?
Then.
B
D
B
They
do
have,
they
do
have
an
entrance
back
there.
I'm
not
sure
how
maybe
you
are
required
to
have
two
entrances.
G
No
two
entrances
isn't
required
that
side
porch,
which
we're
talking
about
how
that
reduces
the
width
of
the
driveway.
That's
an
existing
feature
of
the
house.
That's
there
right
now,
so
I
think
you
know
the
the
the
strategy
working
with
amicus
is
really
just
to
use
and
keep
as
much
of
what's
there
now.
You
know
so
like
we're
thinking.
We
were.
G
B
I
don't
think
he's
taking
that
specifically
into
consideration,
but
looking
at
it
right
now
on
street
view,
I
I
think
card
would
take
issue
with
eliminating
that.
B
C
B
F
B
So
the
zoning
board
would
have
to
grant
that
that
waiver
to
allow
a
driveway
that
is
narrower
than
the
minimum.
The
planning
commission
does
not
have
authority
to
grant
that
waiver.
Specifically,
you
do
have
authority
to
waive
the
required
parking
spaces
so
that
you
could
wave
four
spaces
in
the
back.
If
you
chose
you
would
wave
those,
though,
knowing
that
they
they
technically
that
they
do
exist,
but
you
would
just
be
granting
the
waiver
to
get
around
that.
G
Well,
it
looks
like
what
I
have
on
the
site
plan
from
the
building
to
the
extent
of
the
property,
and
please
keep
in
mind
that
this
is
just
approximate
based
on
being
there
using
the
gis
maps.
I
think
it's
around
13
feet
and
I
I
mean
I
have
it
in
the
drawing.
I
definitely
drew
that
I
just
don't
have
the
measurement
in
front
of
me
as
to
how
deep
that
porch
is
on
the
side.
G
B
Okay,
yeah,
just
just
looking
at
the
drawing
and
looking
at
at
the
spaces
shown
on
the
plan
and
that
that
are
nine
by
eighteen.
It
looks
like
the
space
like
a
parking
space
may
not
fit
adjacent
to
that
staircase.
But
if
you
have
the
measurement
and
that's
nine
feet
next
to
that
staircase
between
the
property
line
and
the
staircase,
then
then
you
don't
have
an
issue.
B
A
G
A
So
obviously,
like
we're
driving
pretty
tall
trucks
back
there,
but
you
may
be
able
to
get
I'd
be
interested
to
know
from
that
white
line
over
to
the
base
of
that
porch.
How
far
wide
that
is
and
tito,
I
believe
you
already
explained
they
could
potentially
get
a
variance
for
driveway
width.
Is
that
correct.
B
The
parking
is
allowed
for
one
and
two
unit
dwellings
since
they're
applying
for
congregate,
living
and
not
a
two
family.
Then
then
that's
a
good
point.
Then
tandem
parking
technically
is
not
allowed.
D
A
Well,
I
believe
that
you
could
have
a
stack
of
two
off
to
the
side.
You
could
have
another
stack
of
two
next
to
it,
so
you
would
get
four
spaces
they're,
showing
you
can
get
additional
three
cars
in
there,
but
I
don't
know
if
those
are
considered
legal
spaces
because
of
how
deep
they're,
you're
cuz
you're
stacking
up
four
deep
car
number
at
the
back
of
the
property
is
going
to
have
a
hard
time
backing
out.
D
Yeah
one
other
question
about
that
bypass
rather
than
a
variance
is
a
is
an
easement
from
the
neighbor.
Does
that
count
if
they
got
an
easement
for
the
extra
let's
say
two
feet
that
they
needed
to.
E
B
That
that
would
work
if
the
site
allowed
it.
D
D
All
right,
well,
I'm
not
sure
how
everyone
else
is
feeling,
but
to
me
it
seems
like
if
you're
gonna
have
that
many
bedrooms,
potentially
rented
the
whole
reason
that
we
recently
revised
the
code
was
that
you
you
needed
to
provide
at
least
the
number
of
required
parking
spaces
on
site.
D
So
I
personally
don't
have
any
problem
moving
this
forward
to
a
public
hearing
for
the
next
meeting,
but
I'm
probably
not
going
to
approve
it
or
vote
yes,
unless
they
can
provide
some
on-site
parking
because
I
know
murray
street,
especially
this
portion
of
murray
street
parking
is
definitely
going
to
be
an
issue,
and
I
think
if
it
goes
to
public
hearing,
we're
probably
going
to
hear
from
some
of
the
neighbors
about
parking
if
we
don't
require
it
on
site.
So
that's
my
point
of
view
on
the
parking
on
site.
I
D
H
Right-
and
this
is
paul-
I'm
also
here-
I
had
a
hard
time
finding
my
zoom
link
thank
you
tdo
for
sending
that,
but
I
think
you
nailed
it
yeah.
I'm
agreed.
A
B
I
will
say
that
per
nick's
suggestion,
adding
an
additional
parking
in
the
rear
may
be
an
option,
and
even
if
that
would
cause
the
plan
to
go
past
the
minimum
or
the
maximum
lot
coverage.
B
I
think
that,
given
the
the
parking
situation
on
murray
street,
that
you
would
have
that
the
zoning
board
would
be
more
open
to
a
lot
coverage
variance
than
a
parking
variance.
I
I
don't
speak
for
them,
obviously,
but
so
I
think
that
that
may
be
an
option
is,
is
adding
additional
parking
in
the
rear.
G
Oh,
I
mean
sounds
sounds
pretty
logical.
I
guess
I
would
just
ask
you,
like
I
mean
obviously
paul's
not
on
the
representative
for
amicus,
so
we're
gonna
have
to
chat
with
all
this
and
but,
like
you
know,
if
you're
saying
that
the
next
step
would
be
to
bring
this
to
a
public
hearing
like
how
would
you
recommend
that
we
actually
prepare?
G
A
That's
one
of
the
main
reasons
why
we're
meeting
tonight.
This
is
pretty
clearly
a
type
two,
so
it'll
probably
be
a
motion
for
that,
but
it's
also
to
raise
issues
that
you
can
address
at
next
month's
meeting
so
that
we
don't
go
through
this
and
have
to
delay
it
another
month
that
you
could
have
answers
to
some
of
these
questions
and
maybe
just
address
them
in
your
presentation
next
month.
G
B
Passed
but
if
we
have
it
I'd
say
by
the
25th,
we
can
work
with
that
all
right.
G
B
And
kyle,
just
to
just
sort
of
reiterate
this.
The
only
issue
at
this
point
is
not
just
the
width
of
the
driveway
next
to
that
entrance.
It's
also
that
these
spaces
cannot
be.
You
can't
stack
that
many
spaces
for
congregate
living
and
that's
that's
my
mistake.
You
can
for
a
two
family,
but
since
this
is
living
stack,
spaces
don't
count,
and
so
that's
why
it's
looking
like
the
the
parking
area
in
the
rear
is
going
to
be
necessary
unless
you
can
get
a
parking
variance.
A
B
No,
you
stacking
is
only
permitted
for
one
and
two
unit
dwellings-
okay,
yes,
now
that
this
is
they're
seeking
approval
for
congregate,
living,
it's
technically,
not
a
residential
use,
it's
considered
sort
of
a
higher
level
of
use
in
it,
and
then
it
really
requires.
You
can't
stack
mistake.
Spaces.
G
F
G
G
A
B
E
B
Great,
but
the
other
thing
is
that
that
can
be
something
that
you
ask,
for
relief
from
from
the
zoning
board
is
some
of
those
dimensional
requirements
where
you
could
have
a
slightly
narrower
aisle
width
or
something
like
that
to
allow
you
to
fit
the
spaces
that
you
need
in
the
rear.
E
D
All
right
well
seeing
no
other
questions
or
comments.
I
will
make
a
motion
that
the
action
is
a
type
2
action
under
seeker
and
that
no
further
environmental
review
is
required.
I
D
All
right
seconded
by
let's
go
with
paul
first,
all
right,
all
in
favor,
mario,
yes,
paul.
E
D
I
D
All
right,
I'm
also
a
yes,
so
five
in
favor
zero
of
votes,
all
right
so
kyle.
Some
tito
will
be
in
touch
with
you
guys
about
revisions
to
the
plan
and
to
talk
about
possible
zoning
variances
that
might
be
required
