describing

A
The

A
So
tonight
our
first
Seeker
determination
is
for
the
applicant
Vintage
Auto
Imports
LLC
project
address
is
30,
Charles,
Street,
sorry
30,
Charlotte
Street,
and
this
is
a
site
plan
review
and
special
use
permit
to
establish
vehicle
sales
in
an
existing
industrial
building.
In
the
I2
light
and
medium
Industrial
District,
if
there's
anybody
here
for
Vintage
Auto
Imports,
all
right
have
a
seat.
C
C
C
C
It's
not
by
invite
it's
public,
but
the
primary
sales
will
be
through
auction,
but
Private
Sales
or
you
know.
Public
sales
will
also
be
welcome.
Okay,.
D
Yep
just
have
a
question
sure
I'm
gonna,
pull
it
up
and
I'll
just
go
without
so
I.
Remember
right
from
the
drawing
of
the
plans.
There's
a
couple
of
spaces,
I
think
for
three
parking
spaces
outside
for
salable
vehicles
and
it's
making
use
of
existing
office
space.
Oh
thank
you.
It
looked
like
the
pretty
large
building.
What
will
the
remainder
of
the
building
be
used
for
just
curious.
C
A
Any
other
questions
comments
concerns
all
right.
Well,
this
one
seems
pretty
straightforward,
so
I'll
make
a
motion
that
the
proposal
involves
the
ReUse
of
an
existing
non-residential
building,
which
is
a
type
2
action
under
seeker,
and
that
no
further
environmental
review
is
required
all
right.
Second,
by
Kelly,
all
in
favor
all.
B
A
I'll
make
a
motion
to
schedule
a
public
hearing
for
the
project
at
5
20
at
our
next
April
meeting,
all
right
say
goodbye
Steve,
all
in
favor,
all
right,
seven
in
favor,
zero
opposed
all
right.
So
we'll
see
you
back
in
April
and
we'll
have
a
public
hearing
and
see
if
anybody
has
anything
to
say
about
the
project.
Thank.
A
All
right,
our
next
secret
determination
tonight
is
for
the
applicant
John
tager.
The
project
address
is
108
Henry
Street.
This
is
a
site
plan
review
and
special
use
permit
for
the
conversion
of
an
existing
Residential
Building
into
15
units
with
38
total
bedrooms,
including
the
construction
of
a
rear
Edition
and
the
resurfacing
of
an
ancillary
parking
area
in
the
C4
neighborhood
commercial
District.
F
G
Foreign,
my
name
is
Tyler
losey,
a
designer
of
Keystone
Associates
at
58,
Exchange
Street
Binghamton,
we're
here
to
represent
John
tager.
H
G
The
project
involves
a
two
editions,
one
on
the
front.
G
191
square
feet
and
it
is
a
foyer
area
with
access
to
the
building
and
a
new
lift
for
Ada
and
on
the
rear.
We
have
another
Edition,
and
that
is
for
an
elevator
and
stairwell
and
we
have
new
parking.
We
utilized
the
existing
parking
spaces,
but
shrunk
down
the
asphalt
area.
G
H
I
believe
everybody
knows
the
building,
I
guess
it's
gonna,
it's
a
really
bad
shape,
but
now,
with
this
new
owner
has
taken
over
the
building,
it's
going
to
be
really
spruced
up
and
gonna.
Look
better.
Now
we
have
15
Apartments
for
all
five
floors
basement
will
have
a
laundry
room
and
an
exercise
room.
H
J
B
B
A
It's
a
little
it's
a
little
hard
to
tell
from
the
plan,
so
the
curb
and
sidewalk
all
along
the
front.
The
entire
length
of
the
building
is
in
pretty
horrible
shape.
Are
you
redoing
all
of
the
sidewalk
and
curb
in
front
along
the
street?
Yes,
okay,.
K
Could
you
tell
me
the
the
dimensions
of
the
exercise
room
downstairs.
B
K
Will
it
contain
exercise
equipment
that
you
guys
will
provide
to
have
in
there?
Okay,
good?
Thank
you.
A
A
It's
great
the
building
needs
to
be
renovated.
So
that's
great
all
right.
If
there's
no
other
questions
or
comments.
B
A
A
All
right,
our
next

This

commercial
District.
M
The

state
route,
7.
M
The
only
thing
that
changed
we
still
plan
on
putting
the
office
building
there,
but
I
did
in
the
drawing
put
a
6
by
12
Edition
on
for
a
bathroom
and
more
storage,
space,
stickers
and
foremost,
that
kind

Chance
questions

a
type
2
action
under
seeker
and
that

further
environmental
review
is

So
I'll
make

A
All

tonight,
our
next
public
hearing
is
for
the
applicant
Flower
Hill
Hub
LLC.
The
project
address
is
127
Murray
Street.
This
is
a
site
plan
review
and
special
use
permit
for
the
addition
of
two
dwelling
units
to
the
third
floor
of
an
existing
seven
unit,
dwelling
for
a
total
of
nine
units
with
nine
total
bedrooms
and
the
R3
multi-unit
dwelling
District.
O
Welcome
back,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
we
met
last
month
with
the
zoning
board
and
I
think
cleared
the
remaining
hurdles.
There.
O
Changes
are
noted
on
the
file.
We
brought
extra
copies.
If
you
didn't
have
a
chance
or
don't
have
a
good
view
on
your
computer.
A
All
right,
do
you
mind
stating
your
name
and
address
for
a
record.
Sorry.
O
We
added
we
added
one
parking
space
to
make
eight
any
other
changes
were
or
cosmetic
I
think
he
changed
stairs
to
the
rear
porch
to
face
a
different
direction.
A
A
Nope
all
right
all
right,
so
we're
going
to
open
a
public
hearing,
if
you
don't
mind
just
stepping
off
to
the
side
for
one.
Second,
all
right.
So
this
is
the
public
hearing
for
the
applicant
Flower
Hill
Hub
LLC.
The
project
address
is
127
Murray
Street.
This
is
a
site
plan
review
and
special
use
permit
for
the
addition
of
two
dwelling
units
to
the
third
floor
of
an
existing
seven
unit,
dwelling
for
a
total
of
nine
units
with
nine
total
bedrooms
and
the
R3
multi-unit
dwelling
District.
N
No,
we
did
get
comments
from
the
county.
They
found
no
significant
county-wide
impacts.
They
did
suggest
that
the
Planning
Commission
should
consider
the
compatibility
of
design,
colors
and
materials
for
the
proposed
new
shed
Dormer
roof,
exterior
egress,
staircase
and
porches,
and
exterior
stairs
with
the
historic
character
of
the
house.
A
J
Just
a
comment:
I
do
want
to
thank
the
applicants
and
is
this
team
for
increasing
the
parking
to
an
eighth
spot?
The
Proposal
still
requires
nine,
so
the
applicant
will
be
looking
for
a
reduction
by
one
for
what
he's
required.
If
I
understand
that
correctly.
N
A
All
right
seeing
none
I'll,
make
a
motion.
So
at
the
last
meeting
we
decided
that
this
was
a
type
2
action
under
Seeker,
because
it's
the
involves
the
ReUse
of
an
existing
Residential
Building.
So
no
further
environmental
review
is
required
and
so
I'll
make
a
motion
that
the
requirements
for
site
plan,
review
and
special
use
permit
have
been
met
all
right,
second,
by
Manny,
all
in
favor
all
right,
that's
seven!
In
favor,
zero
post,
all.
A
All
right,
our
next
public
hearing
is
for
the
applicant
Michaela
fargnoli
project
address
is
138
to
140
Washington
Street.
This
is
a
site
plan
review
for
the
construction
of
a
new
two-story
2
000
square
foot,
eating
and
drinking
establishment
in
the
C2
downtown
business
district.
F
K
I
Evening,
everyone
great
to
be
back.
Thank
you
very
much
presented
the
project
about
a
month
ago
at
the
last
meeting
and
I
guess.
The
only
update
at
this
point
would
be
that
I've
incorporated
or
plan
to
incorporate
all
the
comments
that
we
received
from
Cod
that
had
to
do
with
the
Symmetry
regarding
garage
doors
and
their
comments
were
consistent
with
our
goals
of
making
sure
that
the
building
Blended
in
with
the
neighboring
buildings
and
the
the
neighborhood
itself,
my
name,
is
Rich.
David
in
the
project.
A
A
F
A
Site
plan
review
for
the
construction
of
a
new
two-story
1984
square
foot,
eating
and
drinking
establishment
in
the
C2
downtown
business
district.
If
there's
anybody
that
would
like
to
speak
about
the
project,
please
come
to
the
microphone.
N
Correct
we
did
get
County
comments
again,
no
significant
impact,
but
they
did
concur
with
the
staff
comments
that
the
city
should
consider
a
maintenance
and
or
security
plan
for
the
two
alleys
that
will
be
created
by
by
the
construction
of
the
building.
Okay,.
A
Right
gotta
check
one
last
time
all
right.
If
there's
no
other
questions
or
comments,
I'll
make
a
motion
Tito
at
the
last
meeting.
Did
we
decide?
This
was
a
type
two
action.
N
A
N
You
need
one
more
vote
to
reduce
the
rear
setback
requirement
by
33
by.
A
I
Well,
the
the
checks
will
be
written
tomorrow,
so
hopefully
the
Essex
steel,
who's,
the
contract
or
the
providing
the
materials
has
given
us
about
a
six
to
eight
week
delivery
frame
and
then
the
actual
building
the
erection
of
the
building.
It's
estimated
to
take
place
about
two
to
three
weeks
and
then
the
interior
work
is
about
30
days
after
that.
I
So
that
puts
us
around
the
June
July
time
frame
and
of
course
that's
if
all
goes
well,
but
you
know,
that's,
that's
our
estimated
time
frame,
so
the
mid-summer
this
year
is
is
the
goal.
B
P
My
name
is
John
Burns
and
my
primary
residence
is
four
Stone
Road
in
the
economy.
All.
A
Right
anything
change
between
last
meeting
and
this
meeting.
P
No
I
mean
the
suggestions
that
were
made
by
the
board.
You
know
increasing
the
landscaping
and
you
know
the
things
that
we
agreed
to.
You
know
we're
100
on
board
with
that
and
pretty
much
the
same.
All.
A
Right
one
question:
sir:
just
happened
to
be
down
there
for
Parade
day
this
last
weekend
and
I
noticed
that
the
the
property
has
a
a
garage
and
a
pretty
significant
retaining
wall
that
runs
kind
of
right
down
the
where,
on
the
left
side
of
the
plan,
you've
got
parking
laid
out.
I
forget
if
we
talked
about
this
last
time,
what's
happening
to
the
garage,
is
that
coming.
P
B
P
We
had
that
brought
down,
and
then
we
put
asphalt
preliminary
asphalt
because
we
have,
you
know
scheduled
to
do
an
entire
the
entire
parking
lot
and
then
line
it.
B
P
Right
so
that's
gone,
and
so
we
you
know
we
created
also
another
thing
back
when
they
they
were
keeping
the
Peterson
was
keeping
garbage
cans
up
there.
That's
not
there
anymore,
either.
C
A
All
right
any
questions
comments
before
we
open
the
public
hearing
for
this
one,
all
right,
all
right,
if
you
don't
mind,
taking
it,
okay,
step
off
to
the
side
all
right.
So
this
is
the
public
hearing
for
the
applicant
John
Burns.
The
project
address
is
91
Front
Street.
This
is
a
site
plan
review
and
special
use
permit
for
the
conversion
of
an
existing
private
parking
lot
to
a
commercial
parking
area
in
the
C1
service,
commercial
District.
If
anybody
would
like
to
speak
about
the
project,
please
come
to
the
microphone.
Q
Evening,
my
name
is
Nate
vanway
I'm,
an
attorney
with
Coughlin
and
Gerhart
I'm,
a
resident
63
Matthew
Street,
also
on
the
west
side,
I'm
representing
Front
Street
Apartments
LLC,
which
owns
93.
Street
okay.
Q
So
my
client,
of
course,
is
directly
adjacent
to
this
property,
and
we
submitted
some
written
comments
to
Tito
earlier
this
afternoon,
along
with
several
attachments,
I'm,
hoping
that
most
of
that
has
been
awarded
to
all
of
you
and
most
of
what
I
will
be
saying
tonight
will
be
reiterating
much
of
what
was
included
in
the
email
from
earlier.
So
there's
five
major
points
that
I
just
want
to
outline
briefly.
Q
The
first
is
that
the
property
currently
isn't,
even
in
compliance
with
the
site
plan
that
was
approved
back
in
January
30th
of
2019.,
that
site
plan
contemplated
use
at
88,
Front
Street
just
across
the
street,
as
well
as
this
particular
property.
That
prior
site
plan
required
that
this
property
had
been
fully
restriped
and
repaved
and
as
well,
have
some
Landscaping
at
the
front
of
it
along
Front
Street,
neither
of
which
appears
to
have
been
done.
You
know
just
walking
by
there
earlier
today.
You
can
see,
of
course,
Landscaping.
Evidently
not.
Q
There
hasn't
been
at
all
since
that
approval
in
2019.,
so
we
think
it
inappropriate
that
a
site
plan
be
approved
for
a
use
when
they
haven't
been
able
to
show
compliance,
even
with
the
current
site
plan
in
place
for
poor
good
years
now.
The
second
issue
is
that
the
proposal
that
they've
submitted
doesn't
appear
to
meet
the
code
requirements
for
an
off-street
parking
lot,
there's
three
items
in
particular
that
at
least
jumped
out
to
me
and
my
client
when
we
were
looking
at
it.
Q
The
first
is
that
for
every
10
parking
spaces
on
an
off
street
parking
lot,
there's
supposed
to
be
a
9
by
18
foot,
landscaped
area
that
would
require
I,
think
there's
40
parking
spaces
proposed
so
either
three
or
four,
depending
on
how
you
do
the
math
Space
Landscape
areas
to
the
interior
of
this
lot
shown.
The
next
is
that
they're
supposed
to
be
two
excuse
me,
two
by
two
foot
by
six
foot
bike
spaces
again
for
every
10
spaces
parking.
Q
So
there
should
be
three
or
four
bike
spaces
shown
on
this
property
as
well.
In
addition,
there
is
no
area
shown
for
a
designated
snow
storage
area,
which
is
all
again
applicable
to
an
off-street
parking
lot.
Now
you
might,
you
might
ask,
what's
the
big
deal,
because
this
is
an
existing
parking
lot
and
why
not
just
swap
it
over
to
a
commercial
paid
parking
lot
and
I
would
posit
to
you
that
this
is
an
opportunity
for
the
planning
board,
of
course,
to
bring
this
parking
lot
up
to
appropriate
standards.
Q
You
know
your
code
has
a
goal
in
mind
of
having
an
aesthetic
pleasing.
You
know
impactful
beneficial
area
for
the
community,
instead
of
leaving
basically
a
concrete
asphalt,
Wasteland,
which
it
currently
is.
The
third
issue
that
I
wanted.
My
client
wanted
to
bring
up
is
that
it
appears
that
this
property
has
at
some
point,
since
the
approval
in
2019
actually
operated
illegally
as
a
paid
parking
lot
as
the
owner
of
the
building
next
door.
He
has
residents
who
have
actually
paid
for
parking
at
that
lot.
Q
It's
just
an
issue
that
it
appears
if
there's
ongoing
code
violations
and
things
like
that,
can
you
believe
that
a
property
will
be
used
appropriately
going
forward
under
some
different
site
plan
approval
now?
The
fourth
issue
is
largely
just
Community
impact
to
that
particular
area.
The
plan,
we
believe,
doesn't
really
add
anything
aesthetically
or
a
character
to
the
streetscape
in
that
area.
You
know
I
touched
on
that
kind
of
briefly
that
this
is
an
opportunity
if
you
hold
the
developer
to
the
standards
in
your
code,
to
improve
this
particular
lot
in
that
area.
Q
So
this
kind
of
reiterates
that
point
the
plan
otherwise
doesn't
seem
to
align
for
the
goals
for
Front
Street,
the
the
black
chain
link
fence,
for
example.
We
believe
that
it
would
be
an
eyesore
it's
out
of
character
with
the
surrounding
properties.
Q
You
know
that
have
a
historic,
pre-war
sort
of
aesthetic
to
them,
and
then
the
businesses
in
that
area,
who
might
be
potential
customers
of
a
off
Street
commercial
parking
lot,
have
been
successful
without
that
look
at
the
Red
Jug
Pub,
for
example,
or
Thai
Time
just
across
the
street,
as
well
as
the
numerous
student
housing
developments
in
that
area
that
are
making
do
without
any
particular
paid
commercial
parking
and
then.
Finally,
of
course,
I
represent
the
person
who
owns
the
property
just
next
door.
Q
There
would
be
specific
impact
to
him
that
chain
link
fence
is
proposed
to
be
directly
on
the
property
line,
which
would
be
prohibitive
to
his
ability
to
access
and
make
prepares
or
visually
inspect
from
these
public
view
the
side
of
his
building
if
there
was
ever
any
issues
or
concerns
with
his
particular
building
there.
In
addition,
there's
that
stone
wall
that
extends
in
the
back
from
along
the
property
line,
the
only
way
to
really
access
that
or
to
review
it
and
inspect
it
would
be
from
this
area
as
well,
because
there's
an
existing
garage.
Q
My
client
tells
me
that
is
owned
by
someone
else
back
there
that
prohibits
access
to
the
stone
wall
from
my
client's
property,
so
I
just
ran
through
a
lot.
I
understand
that
you
know
again,
I'll
repeat
it's
outlined
in
the
email
that
we
sent
earlier
we'd.
Ask
that
you
either
deny
the
project
tonight
just
outright
based
on
the
things
that
I
brought
up,
or
at
least
recognize
that
variances
would
need
to
be
be
received
for
many
of
the
design
failures
that
are
evident
and
which
I've
outlined
I.
Q
So
that's
it
in
a
nutshell.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
look
forward
to
hearing
the
decision.
B
F
N
Do
you
want
me
to
speak
to
the
variance
issue
sure
so,
because
this
is
an
existing
parking
area?
The
way
we
interpret
it
is
as
long
as
it's
not
becoming
less
conforming
it
doesn't.
It
doesn't
require
a
variance,
so
this
is
moving
towards
Conformity,
and
so,
even
though
it
doesn't
meet
the
current
code,
it's
an
existing
parking
lot,
that's
becoming
more
conforming
in
practice.
We
we
typically
don't
don't
make
applicants
get
variances.
For
that.
That
being
said,
it
is
an
opportunity
to
bring
the
parking
lot
up
to
our
current
standards.
B
A
Right
seeing
nobody
else,
rushing
the
mic,
we'll
close
the
public
hearing
for
this
project.
You
can
come
back
up.
P
P
I,
don't
know
exactly
how
to
interpret
what
he's
saying,
but
the
same
owners
have
invested
in
the
corner
up
front
in
Maine.
Hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
at
11,
Main,
Street,
13,
Main
Street,
is
is
a
new
business
that
is
going
in
there
that
and
then
there's
two
four
and
six
Main
Street,
which
is
complete.
Restoration,
looks
like
a
beautiful
building.
P
We
don't
have
a
tenant
in
there
at
the
moment,
but
there's
been
a
a
small
fortune
invested
into
that
the
corner
front
in
Maine,
and
you
know
to
imply
that
we're
irresponsible
in
any
ways
I
think
you
know
short-sighted.
P
As
far
as
the
snow
removal
we
would
either
have
the
snow
removed.
You
know
with
trucks,
or
we
would
just
eliminate
some
of
the
parking
spots
during
that
period
of
time
in
the
back.
We
would
have
them,
but
I
I
do
find
it
amusing,
that
they
say
that
that
the
the
the
restaurant
across
the
street
Thai
Time
and
the
one
around
the
corner
has
been
functioning
perfectly
without
a
paid
parking
lot,
because
they've
got
a
free
parking
lot,
and
so
you
know
of
course
they're
they're.
Not.
P
You
know
they're
parking
in
our
parking
lot
if
you
go
by
there
anyway,
any
of
us
goes
by
there
at
night.
You'll
see
that
the
parking
lot
is
full
all
the
time,
and
so
and
also
you
know
it's
unfortunate
when
I
was
called
by
this
attorneys
and
quiet
asking
me,
for
you
know
to
rent
the
parking
spots
that
we
couldn't.
We
couldn't
help
him
out
and
that
he
you
know
he
kept
reaching
harder
and
harder
to
to
to
have
us.
P
You
know
make
a
special
case
for
his
clients
or
his
tenants
that
we
couldn't
do
it,
because
it's
just
not
a
big
enough
parking
lot.
So
I
don't
know
what
the
motivation
is
other
than
you
know
sour
grapes
or
something.
But
you
know
we.
We
have
worked
very
hard
on
getting
this
accomplished.
I
think
it
will
help
the
bars
the
restaurants,
any
businesses
there,
someone
will
be
able
to
park,
you
know
be
able
to.
You,
know,
stay
for
a
period
of
time
and
leave,
and
you
know
it's
in
paper.
P
You
know
so
really
that's,
basically
where
we
are
and
I
think
it'll.
Look
beautiful,
it'll,
be
very
nice,
we'll
you
know
upgrade
it
from
where
it
is
now
and
we'll
try
to
keep
the
the
neighbor's
garbage
off
our
parking
lot.
So
that's.
J
I
have
a
series
of
questions
for
the
applicant
Mr
Burns
if
you'd
be
willing
to
address
these
specific
questions.
J
First,
addressing
why
this
lot
has
not
been
repaved
since
the
previous
Planning
Commission
decision
back
in
2019..
Well,
it.
P
Was
repaved
it
just
I,
you
know,
I
I
wasn't
part
of
that
process,
but
we
did
a
lot
of
Paving
in
there.
It
just
wasn't
all
done
at
once,
so
you
know
it's.
It's
all
going
to
be
all
done
at
once
now,
because
it's
it's
a
paved
parking
lot
that
you
know
we
will
want
to
attract
people
there
rather
than
you
know,
have
it
look
not
its
best,
but
it
it
it
has
been
being
paved
and-
and
you
know
it's
just
you
know
kind
of
patching
rather
than
a
complete
Paving.
J
Address
the
lack
of
plantings
and
Shrubbery
around
Front
Street
as
Northern
the
previous
approval
from
2019.
P
J
P
I
think
that
you'll
find
that
when
there
is
a
capital
inflow
on
an
investment
that
people
pay
more
attention
to
getting
things
done,
and
there
is
a
with
it
being
a
a
a
money
or
you
know
a
a
business,
a
parking
lot
business
that
we
will
take
care
of
it
like
a
business.
P
It's
been,
it's
been
like
a
a
parking
lot
that
was
Revenue
negative
for
years
and,
and
you
know,
and
it's
been
and
I
wasn't
running
it
so
I
think
that
I
think
that
you'll
find
that
with
me
running
it,
it
will.
J
Can
I
ask
you
to
ask
some
of
the
questions
that
were
brought
up
are?
Are
you
and
the
team
that
you're
working
with
willing
to
address
things
like
adding
the
Landscaping
items,
Landscaping
Islands,
adding
the
bicycle
parking
and
adding
the
snow
storage
per
sections
and
Tito
I'm
going
to
assume
that
these
citations
are
correct
because
I
am
not
an
expert
on
the
city
code,
section
410-55,
section
D3,
section
H
and
section
I
per
the
letter
that
was
submitted
and
was
referenced
during
the
public
hearing.
N
P
Snow
storage
right
now
it
is
40
parking
spaces.
Okay.
So
if
we
get
enough
snow
to
take
up
two
full
parking
spaces,
then
we
have
a
38
space
parking
lot.
If
it
takes
five,
if
we
takes
ten,
it
doesn't
matter,
we
just
put
the
snow
in
the
bag.
If
we
decide
that
that's
not
working,
then
we
will
have
the
snow
removed
just
like
they
do
in
a
lot
of
cities
and
a
lot
of
areas
parking
lots.
So
so
we
I
I,
don't
know
how
how
snow?
P
Taking
up
some
parking
spaces
is
a
is
a
big
concern.
I,
don't
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
that.
But
as
far
as
Landscaping
goes,
we
aren't
going
to
have
an
operating
parking
lot
until
they
tell
me
in
in
code
that
we're
going
to
be
operating
okay.
So
it's
going
to
be
landscaped,
it's
going
to
be
paved.
The
lines
are
going
to
be
painted
into
the
parking
lot
everything's
going
to
be
all
set,
so
there
won't
be
any
concern.
J
Would
would
you
and
and
I
forgot,
who
did
the
actual
site
plan
here,
lamb.eng,
whoever
they
are,
would
you
believe
to
work
with
them
to
develop
an
updated
second
draft
of
the
site
plan
to
reflect
those
those
points
in
the
code,
sections,
D3,
H
and
I,
so
they're
reflected
on
paper
reflected.
P
I
can
do
the
the
bicycle
spots,
but
I
don't
think
that
there
is
enough
parking
spots
in
that
parking
lot.
J
Okay,
so
if
I
understand
you
still
you
if,
given
the
opportunity,
you're
you're
not
willing
to
provide
an
updated.
P
You
know
I
called
the
office
today
and
I
said:
do
I
need
to
bring
anything
further
about
what
we
discussed
and
I
was
told
that
what
we
discussed
it'll
be
fine
as
long
as
we
all
as
long
as
we
all
agree
to
the
the
same
thing.
I
have
not
been
required
to
have
the
islands.
A
Right,
I'm
just
going
to
jump
in
real,
quick,
just
a
reminder
that
these
are
only
one
commissioner's
comments.
It's
not
everybody
is
not
asking
for
this.
Just.
J
N
A
fence
can
be
built
right
up
to
the
property
line
in
some
cases.
If
it's
near
a
window
it
it
can't
be
a
privacy
fence
of
a
certain
height
that
would
obstruct
that
window.
It
would
have
to
be
set
back
three
feet
from
that
window,
but
that's
that's
not
the
case
here.
P
And
the
reason
that
it
says
chain
link
fence
is
because
that's
the
term
that
I
was
reading
in
different
documents.
The
our
our
fence
may
very
well
be
an
upgrade
from
a
chain
link
fence.
A
So
let
me
ask
one
question:
then:
Chris:
would
you
be
okay?
If,
if
we
made
a
conditional
approval,
so
we
could
go
for
so
in
General
on
a
parking
lot
that
doesn't
have
interior
interior
parking
spaces,
the
islands
we
have
in
the
past,
we've
been
okay
with
providing
the
the
landscape
buffer,
putting
any
of
the
Landscaping
that
we
would
have
wanted
in
an
island.
A
We've
been
okay
with
shifting
it
to
the
landscape
buffer
around
the
perimeter,
because
in
general,
things
in
Islands,
if
they're
not
well
maintained,
which
a
lot
of
times
they're,
not
they
get
damaged
and
they
die.
Would
you
be
okay?
If
we
so,
let's
say
we
took
this
plan
and
we
did
kind
of
what
Tito
was
saying.
We
took
this
opportunity
to
bring
it
up
to
coach
for
the
landscape
requirements
and
just
required
a
revised
plan
that
the
planning
department
is
okay
that
meets
the
Landscaping
requirements
in
the
code.
F
A
Yeah
I
think
snow
removal
is
just
kind
of
putting
a
dashed
line
on
the
back
of
the
parking
lot
saying.
This
is
the
snow
removal
area
and
you
said:
you're,
okay,
carving
out
a
bike
parking
area
in
the
in
the
lot.
Are
we
okay?
If
that's
it's
a
conditional
approval
that
just
that
revised
plan
that
you're
asking
for.
P
P
I
actually
met
with
Amicus
too
and
they're.
You
know
we
have
an
understanding
about
four
parking
spots:
okay
across.
A
This
was
an
unlisted
action.
All
right,
so
I'll
make
a
motion
for
a
negative
declaration
based
on
a
Seeker
review
based
on
the
following
comments
or
questions.
Will
the
proposed
action
create
a
material
conflict
with
an
adopted
land
use
plan
or
zoning
regulations?
No,
our
small
impact.
Will
the
proposed
action
result
in
a
change
in
the
use
or
intensity
of
use
of
land,
no
or
small
impact?
Will
the
proposed
action
impair
the
character
or
quality
of
the
existing
community?
No
or
small
impact?
A
Will
the
proposed
action
have
an
impact
on
the
environmental
characteristics
that
cause
the
establishment
of
a
critical
environmental
area?
No
well.
The
proposed
action
result
in
an
adverse
change
in
the
existing
level
of
traffic
or
affect
existing
infrastructure
for
mass
transit
biking
or
walkways.
No
will
the
proposed
action
cause
an
increase
in
the
use
of
energy
and
it
fails
to
incorporate
reasonably
available
energy
conservation
or
renewable
energy
opportunities?
No,
will
the
proposed
Action
Impact
existing
public
or
private
Water,
Supplies
or
public
or
private
wastewater
treatment
utilities?
A
No
with
a
proposed
action,
impair
the
character
or
quality
of
important
historic,
archaeological,
architectural
or
aesthetic
resources
know
our
small
impact.
Will
the
proposed
action
result
in
an
adverse
change
to
Natural
Resources?
No,
will
the
proposed
action
result
in
an
increase
in
the
potential
for
erosion,
flooding
or
drainage
problems?
No,
will
the
proposed
action
create
a
hazard
to
environmental
resources
or
human
health?
No
So,
based
on
those
items,
I'll
make
a
motion
for
a
negative
declaration
per
Seeker
review.
A
All
right,
second,
by
Manny,
all
in
favor,
all
right,
that's
six
in
favor,
zero
opposed
and
I'll
make
a
motion
that
the
requirements
for
site
plan
review
and
special
use
permit
have
been
met
contingent
on
the
following
that
a
revised
plan
be
submitted
to
the
planning
department
that
shows
Landscaping
that
meets
all
code
requirements.
A
It
also
will
note
that
the
lot
is
to
be
resurfaced
and
striped.
A
Reserved
in
this
lot
all
right,
yep,
that's
the
conditions
of
approval,
all
right,
second,
by
Chris,
all
in
favor,
all
right,
that's
six
in
favor,
zero,
post!
All
right!
Thank.
B
A
All
right
on
to
our
next
public
hearing,
so
this
is
for
the
applicant.
The
Addiction
Center
of
Broome
County
project
address
is
15
Charles
Street.
This
is
a
site
plan
review
and
special
use
permit
to
convert
the
basement
of
an
existing
mixed-use
building
to
Social
Services
use
Slash
warming
station
in
the
I2
light
and
medium
industrial
districts
welcome
back.
K
I
too,
actually
have
a
question,
and
we
may
have
gone
over
this
in
the
last
meeting.
But
I
know
that
this
has
been
asked
of
me
so
on
these
days
that
that
people
would
be
able
to
stay
there
on
the
cold
and
the
and
the
and
the
hot
days.
What
is
the
time
frame
that
they
would
be
in
and
out
of
the
facility.
S
We
have
a
fleet
of
vehicles,
so
we
can
coordinate
pickup
spots
for
people,
but
some
individuals
might
be
walking.
I
mean
they're
on
our
way
in
here
there
was
a
homeless
person
going
through
the
metal
detector
trying
to
get
housed
tonight
because
we
have
a
code
blue
night
tonight.
E
A
All
right
so
tonight,
because
the
seems
that
there
might
be
a
lot
of
people
in
the
audience
that
are
here
for
this
particular
project.
If
everyone
doesn't
mind
making
sure
they
speak
into
them
right
directly
into
the
microphone,
so
everybody
can
hear
all
right
all
right.
Well,
let's
do
this,
let's
open
the
public
hearing
and
we'll
see
what
everybody
has
to
say:
Steve.
D
Oh
sorry,
I
have
a
question
before
you
scoot
to
the
other
side.
This
may
have
been
said
when
you
were
here
last
month,
but
just
for
my
benefit
and
anyone
else
who
wasn't
here
to
listen.
Please
tell
me
about
the
security
procedures
in
place.
Particular,
what's
keeping
people
in
once,
doors
are
locked
for
the
night.
S
Well,
it's
on
a
voluntary
basis.
We
wouldn't
require
anyone
to.
Today.
People
would
be
required
to
go
through
a
metal
detector
if
they
had
anything
that
was
unsafe.
They
would
have
to
give
that
to
the
staff
we
could
store.
If
someone
came
in
with
a
pocket
knife,
we
would
hold
that
and
then
they
their
items
would
be
returned
to
them.
In
the
morning
we
would
have
staff
that
are
trained
in
crisis,
Management,
de-escalization,
Mental
Health.
S
D
A
B
A
Right
all
right:
well,
let's
open
the
public
hearing
all
right,
so
this
is
the
public
hearing
for
the
applicant
Addiction
Center
of
Broome
County
project
address
is
15
Charles
Street.
This
is
a
site
plan
review
and
special
use
permit
to
convert
the
basement
of
an
existing
mixed-use
building
to
Social
Services
use
warming
station
in
the
I2
light
and
medium
industrial
district.
If
anybody
would
like
to
speak
about
the
project,
please
come
to
the
microphone
after
this
gentleman.
U
Good
evening,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
my
name
is
Adam
KIPP.
My
address
is
120
Krager
Road
Binghamton.
U
I
own
three
businesses
right
on
Clinton
Street,
just
a
couple
blocks
away
from
15
Charles
Street.
Over
the
last
10
years,
we've
invested
over
a
million
dollars
in
the
renovations
and
the
cleanup
of
that
area.
U
U
Again,
we
've
invested
over
a
million
dollars
in
not
only
renovating
those
buildings,
but
we've
taken
down
a
couple:
three
different,
dilapidated
structures:
one
was
a
old
dress
shop
that
had
been
abandoned
for
over
20
years.
Another
was
an
old
garage
that
had
a
had
a
tree
growing
right
through
the
roof
and
then
another
old
apartment
building
so
say
the
least.
We've
we've
definitely
been
doing
everything
we
can
and
reinvesting
into
that
neighborhood,
which
the
first
war
neighborhood
in
particular
Clinton
Street
is
a
obviously
a
very
historic
neighborhood.
U
We
still
have
all
the
old
antique
shops
there
and
I
didn't
realize
it
until
we
actually,
you
know,
opened
our
business
over
there.
The
amount
of
traffic
that
goes
down
Clinton
Street
on
a
daily
basis-
I,
don't
want
to
come
here
as
a
incompassionate
person
as
a
cold-hearted
businessman
I'm
here
as
a
concerned
citizen
another
one
of
our.
We
do
have
a
charity
that
does
help
anything
in
the
community
that
may
be
needed.
First
Ward
Charities,
we
hold
numerous
benefits.
U
I
right
now
have
multiple
coats
and
gloves
in
the
trunk
of
my
car,
which
I
do
every
winter.
So,
if
I
see
someone
outside
in
the
cold
I,
have
it
right
there
handy
to
give
to
them.
U
So
please
don't
think
I'm
here
as
a
heartless
person,
I
have
a
lot
of
compassion
for
the
homeless
and
and
Broome
County
has
a
major
homeless
issue.
But
I
am
a
concerned
citizen.
Just
a
few
facts
here
from
the
National
Institute
of
Health,
the
rate
of
violent
crime
amongst
homeless
people
is,
is
40
more
than
in
the
general
population.
Non-Violent
is
27
more
a
homeless
defendant
is
significantly
more
likely
to
victimize
strangers
and
be
repeated
vendors.
U
And,
according
to
a
study
at
the
department
of
criminology
and
statistics
at
the
University
of
Pennsylvania,
at
the
presence
of
a
homeless,
shelter
appears
to
have
caused
an
increase
in
property
crime
by
56
percent
within
400
meters
of
the
homeless,
shelter,
which
is
two
to
three
blocks.
U
Now,
what's
what's
very
concerning
is
this
isn't
even
a
homeless
shelter?
This
is
just
for
someone
to
go
in
and
get
warm
and,
as
was
stated,
can
just
decide
that
they
want
to
leave
in
the
middle
of
the
night.
It
it
just
just
to
have
a
basement
just
for
people
to
go.
Get
warm
just
doesn't
sit
right
with
me
in
the
neighborhood.
That's
full
of
children,
full
of
a
lot
of
elderly
people
that
have
lived
there
for
a
very
long
time.
U
Another
concern
of
mine
is
that
the
city
has
adopted
a
vision
of
revitalizing
Clinton
Street
I've
I've
met
with
City
officials
and
and
both
the
mayor
of
the
current
Administration
and
the
prior
Administration
that
you
know
it'd
be
in
the
city's
best
interest
to
revitalize
Clinton
Street.
U
U
Again,
this
is
an
issue
that
does
need
to
be
addressed
both
by
the
city
of
Binghamton
and
Broome.
County
I
believe
that
there
are
other
areas
of
the
city
that
already
have
an
infrastructure
for
providing
these
Public
Services
Clinton
Street
is
not
set
up
for
this
as
a
business
owner.
U
We
pride
ourselves
on
on
you
know,
keeping
that
area
safe
back
when
we
first
took
you
know,
bought
that
building
back
in
2012
I
spent
the
first
couple
years
in
a
pretty
rough
neighborhood,
really
working
closely
with
both
City
Hall
and
the
Binghamton
police
department
and
cleaning
that
area
up
numerous
times.
I
put
my
own
safety
in
danger
to
confront
situations
that
were
going
on
in
that
neighborhood
drug
deals,
assaults.
U
We
don't
want
to
bring
that
stuff
back
a
few
questions
that
I
have
and
I
think
that
were
already
addressed,
but
I
just
wanted
to
address
them
on
on
my
end
as
well
is
what
is
what
is
the
plan
for
when,
when
these
people
leave
I
know,
they
said
that
they
would
have
a
fleet
of
transportation
and
pickup
points,
but
when
they
leave,
where
are
we
taking
them?
U
Where
are
they
going
when
they
leave?
What's
the
plan,
when
we
don't
have
enough
space
on
a
very
cold
night?
What
if
you
have
200
people,
show
up
and
there's
not
enough
space
for
200
people,
where
the
rest
of
them
going
the
ones
that
are
turned
away.
U
Even
even
still
and
I
know,
I've
spoke
to
some
of
the
other
business
owners
there
already.
We
we
do
deal
with
a
lot
of
people
walking
the
streets
coming
by
going
through
garbage
going
through.
Our
garbage
is
going
through
our
dumpsters,
going
through
our
ashtrays
for
cigarette
butts
I've
had
a
few
instances
of
people
coming
around
and
and
using
you
know,
going
to
the
bathroom
right
in
my
parking
lot
and
I.
Just
I
can
see.
U
If
you
know
we
don't
have
a
solid
plan
for
what's
going
to
happen
to
these
folks
that
either
can't
get
in
or
decide
they
just
want
to
leave.
Whenever
is
I
just
see
a
heavy
increase
in
those
things
and
personally
I.
Just
think
that
a
lot
of
us
in
the
area
have
worked
too
hard
to
see
the
Improvement
that
we've
seen
over
the
last
10
years
to
just
take
a
step
back
and
go
again
against
oppositely
against
that
vision
of
what
we
see,
Clinton
Street,
becoming.
U
I
appreciate
your
time.
I
know,
there's
quite
a
few.
Other
people
want
to
speak,
so
I
guess
I
will
cut
it
short,
but
thank
you
for
hearing
me
out
and
I
hope
that
we
all
make
a
decision
that's
best
for
the
city.
Thank
you
all.
L
Hello,
my
name
is
Rachel
Hendricks
I
reside
at
43
Charles
Street
I'd,
like
to
start
off
by
saying
that
I
have
my
degree
in
alcohol
and
substance
abuse,
counseling,
so
I
do
see
both
sides
of
the
again
like
Mr
KIPP,
stated
I'm,
not
cold-hearted,
but
I
am
a
concerned
resident,
as
everyone
can
see.
I
have
two
young
children
that
I
brought
with
me
intentionally.
L
So
you
could
see
there
are
young
children
in
this
area,
I'm
less
than
two
blocks
from
this
proposed
site:
I'm,
not
opposed
to
solutions
for
the
homeless
and
shelters,
but
I
am
opposed
to
the
location
I've
resided
in
this
immediate
area
of
43
Charles
Street
from
2012
to
2014
and
2018.
To
present
day
the
crime
rates
have
already
increased
significantly
in
our
area
in
our
neighborhood
since
covet
hit
in
2020,
and
there
are
younger
families
with
children
that
are
increasingly
moving
to
the
area
as
well
as
the
ones
that
are
already
established
there.
L
L
Students
from
pre-k
to
fifth
grade
are
considered
Walkers
if
they
reside
within
one
mile
of
the
school.
As
was
said
earlier,
the
hours
would
be
5
PM
to
7
A.M.
If
someone
decided
to
leave
at
7
A.M
and
they
had
a
pocket
knife,
my
daughter
would
be
walking
to
school
at
that
time,
totally
unacceptable.
It's
unsafe,
it's
unacceptable,
I,
don't
think,
there's
any
reason.
We
need
to
subject
our
children
to
unsafe
areas
where
homeless
people
will
be
loitering
the
streets
and
walking
around
taking
these
distances
into
account.
How
would
this
homeless
population
be
vetted?
L
L
The
San
Diego
DA's
office
conducted
a
study
in
March
of
2022
that
found
that
for
felony
level,
offenses
the
homeless
are
up
to
514
times
more
likely
to
commit
crimes
and
are
often
repeat
offenders.
There
are
also
118
times
more
likely
to
die
from
an
overdose
we've
already
had
issues
in
our
neighborhood.
Like
Mr
KIPP
has
said,
we
don't
need
to
add
any
more.
L
This
would
be
bringing
more
unwanted
drugs
to
the
neighborhood
that
we're
raising
our
young
kids
in
the
University
of
Pennsylvania
did
a
study
in
Vancouver
which
Mr
KIPP
addressed.
The
study
showed
that
the
presence
of
a
shelter
caused
property
crime
to
increase
by
56
percent
within
a
hundred
meters
to
400
meters
from
the
shelter
that
puts
our
residential
area
in
danger
for
increased
theft
from
Vehicles,
which
we've
already
had
breaking
and
entering
and
vandalism
in
addition
to
our
children
in
crime.
My
next
concern
is
home
values.
L
It's
funny
that
Mr
Burns
was
here
tonight,
because
I
actually
wrote
in
my
notes
if
he
would
be
willing
to
take
a
25
reduction
in
value
of
one
of
his
properties,
not
to
mention
that
this
whole
proposal
has
been
kind
of
sketchy
from
the
start.
There's
been
no
news
reports,
flyers
and
no
communication
to
any
residents
or
businesses
about
this,
so
our
concerns
could
be
heard
in
person.
Instead,
a
street
sign
with
tiny
print
was
posted
on
Charles
Street
that
no
one
can
even
read
unless
you
approach
it.
L
V
Good
evening,
everyone,
my
name,
is
Amy
Iverson
I
live
at
34,
Miles,
Street,
Binghamton,
New,
York,
13905.,
I'm,
a
resident
I'm,
a
First,
Ward
and
I.
Hear
everybody's
concerned
concerns
about
the
homelessness
population.
I've
heard
the
statistics.
V
I
live
right
off
of
miles
and
Lake
Ave,
so
we
already
have
a
problem
in
that
area
and
so
when,
when
I
heard
that
there's
a
shelter
when
we're
going
to
have
a
shelter,
that's
going
to
actually
house
right
and
help
people
that
are
struggling
with
homelessness,
drug
addiction
and
I
knew
that
acbc
was
going
to
be
participating
in
that
I
also
know
that
there's
a
lot
of
resources
that
come
along
with
that.
V
So
when
we're
looking
at
the
barriers
that
people
have
to
reduce
homelessness
to
get
into
treatment
like
those
are
all
things
that
are
going
to
also
be
part
of
the
program,
it's
not
just
a
warming
Center,
it's
not
just
someplace.
Like
a
flop
house,
it's
really
an
Avenue
to
kind
of
assess
where
people
are
at
look
at
crisis
prevention,
give
necessary
mental
health
treatment.
So
there's
a
lot
of
things
also
that
are
involved
here
than
just
you
know.
V
Having
somebody
walk
in
off
the
street-
and
this
is
and
I
don't
think
we're
talking
about
bussing
people
in
from
like
all
over
the
state.
This
is
about
Binghamton.
This
is
about
Broome.
County
overdoses
are
happening
right
now.
I
know
that
we
had
a
fatal
homeless.
You
know
person
that
has
died
off
of
Clinton
streets,
so
I
mean
I,
don't
know,
I
just
want
you
guys
to
hear
like
what
else
is
going
on,
and
you
know
all
the
other
services
that
are
going
to
be
a
part
of
what
the
the
shelter
is.
V
You
know
so
I
mean
I
live
in
that
area,
and
so
when
people
are
talking
about
property
taxes
and
what
does
that
look
like
I'm
concerned
as
well?
You
know,
but
I
also
know
that
if
we're
able
to
have
some
place
for
people
to
go
because
if
you
go
down
Clinton
Street
at
night,
people
are
out
there
and
we're
talking
about.
You
know.
I
heard
concerns
about
whether
or
not
they
have
knives
on
them.
If
somebody
has
a
knife,
they
have
a
knife.
You
know
it
doesn't
matter.
V
If
they
go
to
a
warming
station
or
whether
they're
walking
down
the
street,
you
know
at
least
we
will
be
able
to
take
that
from
them.
Talk
to
them
about
where
they're
at
and
assess
whether
or
not
they
need
to
go
to
CPAP
the
other
things
that
are
taxing
our
Police
Department.
So
when
they're
on
calls
all
night
long
because
people
don't
have
any
place
to
go,
you
know
the
right.
Now,
the
hospitals,
our
emergency
rooms,
are
being
taxed
with
people
just
using
those
resources,
as
some
place
to
stay
warm.
V
V
You
know
it's
not
like
I
think
the
gentleman
that
owns
the
union
and
said
you
know
it's
not
a
shelter,
it's
a
warming
station
and
it's
some
place
where
somebody
can
go.
The
other
thing
I
wanted
to
bring
up
is
that
voices
of
Recovery
Center
has
a
daytime
program.
That's
open
five
days
a
week
right
up
on
Glenwood.
So
it's
already.
Those
resources
are
already
right
there
in
the
community.
A
B
A
A
All
right
sure,
I
think
we
can't
turn
the
mic
up
it's
up
as
high
as
it
can
go,
but
anybody
who's
going
to
speak.
Just
please
hold
the
microphone
right
up
to
your
mouth,
all
right.
Anybody
else
that
would
like
to
speak.
W
W
However,
how
can
we
achieve
this
if
we're
planting
a
flag
for
homeless
and
vagrants
to
come
and
set
up
shop?
We
already
have
a
problem
in
the
first
Ward
with
squatters
and
non-paying
tenants
multiple
times
per
week.
I
need
to
ask
someone
to
leave
because
they're
harassing
my
customers
or
my
employees
and
frankly,
I,
don't
need
any
more
of
that.
I
don't
need
my
business
to
suffer
because
folks
are
afraid
to
come
into
my
business
to
shop.
W
W
I,
personally,
don't
think
that
this
is
the
type
of
of
initiative
that
is
going
to
help
us
Revitalize,
Clinton,
Street
and
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
minute
to
thank
the
other
business
owners
that
have
come
down
to
express
their
opinion
and
I.
Ask
you
to
take
these
comments
seriously
as
you
deliberate
on
whether
or
not
this
is
something
that
is
good
for
our
community.
Thank
you
all.
X
Mr
khachadorian,
some
of
you
know
who
I
am
some:
do
not
I
owned
a
business
and
live
in
the
ward
and
on
quite
a
bit
of
property
and
First
Ward
I
came
down
here
because,
as
Mr
cavark
just
said,
and
some
other
residents,
we
have
already
had
a
problem
and
we're
dealing
with
it
now
I've
caught
several
times,
vagrants
trying
to
access
a
vehicle
to
Rifle
through
cars,
I've
caught
them
right
on
the
very
property
that
the
acbc
now
owns
several
times
it
late
at
night,
because
they're,
not
any
high
impact
lights,
are
strong
enough
to
light
that
parking
lot.
X
They
cut
the
lock
to
access
the
alleyway
between
the
two
buildings
in
the
body:
shop,
right
and
I,
caught
them
in
the
in
that
access
area
and
I've
thrown
them
out
now
Hula's
going
to
go
ahead
and
police
this,
when
the
police
are
so
busy
as
it
is,
and
they
are
not
able
to
keep
an
eye
on
these
people
that
are
doing
this.
It's
it's
just
uncomprehensible
to
see
this
project
go
forward
and
I'm.
X
So
there
are
many
issues
to
this
project
that
should
be
addressed
now:
I'm,
not
saying
I'm
against
housing,
people
that
need
it.
But
you
know
I
I,
don't
know
if
the
the
Developmental
Center
up
on
Glenwood
might
be
a
better
place
to
put
something
like
this.
So
it's
away
from
the
the
populace
of
the
city
of
Binghamton
in
the
First
Ward,
because
I
don't
think
this
is
conducive
to
our
area.
It,
it
just
doesn't
feel
right,
doesn't
seem
right
and
that's
how
I
feel
about
it.
And
those
are
my
comments.
X
I
I
have
some
issues
on
my
own
that
I
have
to
handle.
I
could
take
care
of,
but
that's
not
the
place
for
it
to
talk
about
it
right
now,
but
I
am
telling
you
that
I
feel
that
this
project
should
be
really
looked
at
and
scrutinized
very
carefully.
X
Okay,
because
we
have
the
problem
there.
Now,
as
Mr
kvark
mentioned
as
Adam
Kip
mentioned,
we
deal
with
it
all
the
time
and
it's
still
going
on.
Thank
you
very
much
for
hearing
me.
B
A
procedure
because
two
of
the
speakers,
members
of
my
family,
are
in
business
dealings
with
them.
So
I,
better,
repeat
myself,.
A
Y
Hi,
my
name
is
Cody.
What
would
I
reside
at
43
Charles
Street
Rachel
Hendricks,
who
spoke
earlier
with
my
fiancee
as
a
resident
and
someone
who
works
out
of
town
awful
lot
for
work?
It's
gotten
to
the
point
now
where,
in
the
four
years
I've
lived
there
in
the
last
year,
there's
more
homeless
people
more
people
that
we've
noticed
in
the
area
that
me
as
someone
who
works
out
of
town
I,
can't
trust
I
had
to
put
cameras
up.
We
had
to
put
everything
under
lock
and
key.
Y
We've
had
multiple
things
stolen
and
the
fact
I
can't
leave
for
work
without
knowing
my
family's
gonna
be
safe,
the
whole
day,
I'm
gone
I,
don't
think
housing
them
at
15.
Charles
Street
is
the
right
opportunity
with
all
the
young
families,
Eric's
I'm,
not
the
only
one
that
has
to
leave
their
family
during
the
day
or
for
the
week
to
go.
Y
Some
needles,
I
find
cough
medicine,
I
find
anything
it
takes
for
people
to
get
high,
and
this
is
right
next
door
to
where
they
want
to
put
this
facility
in
and
I,
don't
think
it's
a
correct
thing
to
do,
not
with
little
kids
walking
around
not
with
families
walking
around
I
mean,
like
I,
said
they
get
released
at
7
A.M.
Where
are
they
going
to
go?
They're
not
they're,
not
going
to
go
a
long
ways
because
they
know
at
5
PM.
Y
P
R
Hi,
my
name
is
Olivia
bridge
I
live
at
16,
McNamara
Ave
in
the
city
of
Binghamton,
so
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
what
I've
been
hearing
from
a
lot
of
the
you
know
the
public
and
their
concerns.
Is
that
there's
already
a
problem
so.
R
Perfect,
what
I'm
hearing
from
the
public
is
that
there's
already
a
problem
in
this
neighborhood
and
the
purpose
of
this
warming
Center
from
my
understanding
is
to
not
only
give
them
a
safe
place
to
sleep
for
the
night,
but
to
connect
them
with
services
that
could
potentially
get
them
off
of
the
streets
and,
if
there's
already
a
problem,
why
not
give
them
the
services
that
they
need?
And
you
know,
I
have
directly
been
affected
by
the
services
that
acbc
provide
myself
was
homeless.
R
B
A
Z
Foreign
good
evening,
my
name
is
Matthew
mayette
I'm,
a
co-owner
of
17
Charles,
Street
and
I
reside
in
Kirkwood,
New,
York
I'm,
all
for
support
for
the
homeless
and
I'm
just
I'm,
not
really
sure
about
the
mechanics
of
where
they
enter
and
where
they
leave.
My
business
I
have
a
practice.
A
physical
therapy,
outpatient
practice.
We
have
a
tenant
downstairs.
Z
It's
our
parking,
lot's,
pretty
well
lit
I'm
just
concerned
about
the
proximity
to
possibly
more
people
put
traffic
in
that
area.
At
that
time
my
tenant
downstairs
has
mentioned
he's.
Had
people
walk
in
wanting
to
use
bathrooms
and
he's
had
to
turn
people
away.
Z
Our
our
building
is
open.
We
don't
have
a
a
Lockheed
system
where
people
have
to
buzz
in.
We
don't
have
a
security.
We
have
security
cameras,
but
we
don't
have
any
other
security
means
I'm
curious
about
how
that
area
15
will
be
policed.
Z
If
there's
going
to
be
added
security,
that
there
will
be
people
escorted
when
they
leave,
or
are
they
just
going
to
leave
and
and
I'm
assuming
they're
leaving
out
of
the
Charles
Street
door,
which
is
right
next
to
our
building
so
I'm
concerned
about
when
they
lead
when
they
go,
our
business
is
open,
till
6
PM,
so
we're
getting
them
on
both
sides
when
we
start
and
when
we
finish
but
I'm
all
for
it.
I've
I've
had
a
son,
that's
had
addiction
issues
and
he
was
clear.
Z
He
was
nearly
homeless
and
he
had
great
benefits
from
the
support
from
this
from
the
staff
of
what
the
Addiction
Center
will
be,
providing
so
I'm
all
for
it.
I'm
just
concerned
about
the
mechanics
of
Public
Safety
and
people
using
businesses
next
door
and
that's
my
main
concern
all
right.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
B
AA
You
know
this
isn't
San
Diego.
This
isn't
San
Francisco.
This
isn't
Arizona.
This
is
Binghamton
New,
York.
Okay,
the
problem
is
right
here
at
our
door
at
the
front
door.
AA
So
we
I
don't
think
anybody
has
really
the
right
answer,
but
they
have
the
right
motives
and
the
right
connections
to
to
try
to
turn
this
around
by
to
make
the
connection
with
these
people
these
this
homeless
population
yeah
there
there's
issues
there,
there's
always
going
to
be
issues
there,
but
if
they
don't
have
some
place
to
go
to
where
they
can
can
possibly
get
connected
to
the
services
that
they
need,
we're
always
going
to
have
the
problem.
AA
You
know
why
not
give
them
an
opportunity
to
be
connected
to
these
Services,
maybe
at
work.
Maybe
it
won't.
That's
a
crap
shoe.
Okay.
I
happen
to
be
one
of
those
examples
where
it
did
work.
I
was
homeless,
I
was
sleeping
under
a
bridge,
I
was
doing.
Drugs.
I
was
doing
all
that
great
stuff,
but
but
the
the
thing
was
that
the
connections
that
I
made
that
allowed
me
the
ability
to
turn
it
around.
That's
just
my
own
personal
experience
and
I
would
like
to
see
that
personal
experience
for
other
people
as
well.
AA
You
know,
there's
a
risk
there
and
I
understand
it.
There's
mental
health
drugs
there's
some
really
bad
behaviors
out
there
there's
a
risk
out
there.
I
I
guarantee
that.
But
this
problem
just
isn't
going
to
go
away.
It's
just
going
to
get
worse.
If
we
don't
try
something
the
warming
Center,
I
I,
don't
know
what
the
answer
is
to
tell
you
the
truth.
We
have
to
try
something
because
it
is
on
our
front
door
and
it's
going
to
get
worse.
If
we
don't
try
something.
AA
A
Tito
is
there
any
problem
with
leaving
the
public
hearing
open
until
after
the
applicant
has
responded
to
questions
in
case
this
gets
held
over.
N
A
A
T
Thank
you,
obviously,
a
very
complicated
issue,
homelessness,
not
no
easy
answers
and
we're
not
suggesting
that
there
are
I
just
like
to
step
back
and
just
talk
about
sort
of
the
process
tonight
and
and
the
process
and
role
of
the
planning
board
in
the
conversation.
So
this
this
property
is
zoned
Industrial.
T
Let
me
just
double
check
my
note
yeah
light
and
medium
industrial.
This
is
not
even
a
residential
district
that
this
building
is
located
in.
So
this
is
one
of
the
highest
zoning
classifications
in
the
city
of
Binghamton.
It's
not
a
single
family.
It's
not
a
two
family.
It's
not
a
multi-family!
It's
an
industrial
Youth
and
within
the
uses
permitted
within
that
industrial
classification
by
special
permit
our
social
services
and
Social
Services,
just
to
reflect
refresh
your
recollection
about
what
the
definition
of
that
is
support.
T
So,
against
the
backdrop
just
of
what
is
happening
here
tonight,
the
legislative
body,
the
elected
officials,
have
made
a
determination
that
this
location
is
zoned
as
it
is
industrial
and
that
these
types
of
uses
are
permitted
subject
to
special
permit
in
these
districts.
So
there's
already
been
a
decision
that
this
is
an
appropriate
location
for
this
type
of
use,
so
I
just
like
to
start
there.
So
we're
not
we're
not
thinking
about
it
as
being
a
residential
youth.
T
T
That's
the
whole
purpose
of
having
a
facility
such
as
this.
There
won't
be
people
wandering
around
in
the
middle
of
the
night.
They
will
want
to
be
inside
where
they're
warm,
where
they're
getting
something
to
eat
where
they're
safe,
where
they
are
connecting
with
other
available
services
and
mental
health
professionals.
T
So
the
whole
point
is
to
make
an
effort
to
eliminate
some
of
these
concerns
that
have
been
expressed
by
the
neighbors,
some
neighbors
and
some
business
owners.
Is
it
going
to
clear
up
the
homeless
issue
in
the
city
of
Binghamton?
Absolutely
not
again
we're
talking
about
a
maximum
occupancy
of
40
people,
so
we're
not
talking
about
several
hundred
people.
T
Just
trying
to
flip,
through
my
notes,
It's
A
Hard
conversation
to
have
I
I,
do
have
to
say:
I
take
extreme
exception
to
classifying
people
as
sort
of
these
people.
T
These
are
people
that
are
entitled
to
Services
as
much
as
any
one
of
us
is,
and
these
people
are
people
that
are
in
a
lot
of
instances
seeking
out
assistant
seeking
out
connection
seeking
out
treatment,
and
those
are
the
people
that
we
should
be
focusing
on
and
I'm
going
to
ask
Carmela
to
go
through
just
some
of
the
larger
questions,
maybe
that
we
went
over
last
time
that
other
members
of
the
audience
did
not
hear
in
terms
of
security
in
terms
of
sort
of
where
people
go
again.
T
S
So
generally,
the
model
that's
been
implemented
in
other
communities
has
been
folks
coming
in
at
five
o'clock
and
leaving
around
seven.
You
know
to
address
the
concerns
about
timing
of
when
kids
might
be
going
out
to
the
bus
stop
or
walking
to
school.
We
could
certainly
stay
open
later
in
the
morning.
We
could
stay
open
until
10.
You
know,
typically,
where
are
homeless
people
during
the
day,
they're
everywhere
they're
at
McDonald's
they're
at
the
library
they're
at
Boscov's.
S
They
are
everywhere,
there's
no
place
that
you're
gonna
go
right
now
in
Binghamton,
where
there
aren't
homeless
people,
and
certainly
our
presence
on
Clinton
Street.
We
just
bought
the
building
November
30th.
You
know
we
had
a
mental
health
clinic
right
on
Clinton
Street.
They
left
because
they
said
the
neighborhood
was
unsafe,
so
like
we're
not
coming
in
and
creating
a
problem,
we're
going
to
come
in
and
sort
of
help
a
problem
and
when
you've
been
outside
all
day,
maybe
not
known
where
you
were
going
to
go
to
the
bathroom.
S
If
you
were
going
to
be
able
to
get
something
to
eat,
you
know
once
people
come
in,
they
have
dinner
like
they
pretty
much
just
want
to
go
to
sleep.
You
know
like
it's
not
going
to
be
a
situation
where
we
would
expect
lots
of
issues
and
problems.
It's
voluntary
people
want
to
come
and
eat
get
some
rest
and
we
would
certainly
be
willing
to
have
people
stay
longer
and
get
connected
to
resources.
S
You
know
and
other
environments
they
have
timed
when
individuals
leave
to
when
DSS
opens
so
that,
hopefully
we
can
bring
people
right
over
to
DSS
and
help
them
work
on
more
permanent
Housing
Solutions.
So
you
know
this.
This
is
a
very
significant
problem,
we're
not
looking
to
make
it
worse
or
spoil
a
neighborhood
where
there's
already
tremendous
issues
and
I
applaud
the
revitalization
efforts,
we're
not
going
to
come
in
and
and
disrupt
revitalization
efforts.
S
You
know
our
intent
is
to
put
20
million
into
this
building
that
it's
going
to
be
beautiful
and
it
would
employ
a
hundred
people.
We
already
have
a
hundred
employees
like
we
need
the
space
and
the
community
needs
the
resources.
If
you
want
to
see
things
get
better,
you
know
I
and
I.
Think
just
being
aware
like
having
a
bar,
that's
open
late
at
night
like
that
attracts
activity,
you
know
we're
going
to.
Try
to
you
know,
provide
a
place.
That's
quiet,
warm
doesn't
involve
drinking,
doesn't
involve
substance,
use.
S
Okay
and
and
I
guess
you
know
for
context.
This
model
has
been
implemented
by
Catholic
charities
in
Syracuse,
New,
York
and
Oneonta
New
York
in
Albany.
You
know
we're
a
little
bit
behind
it's
being
implemented
in
other
states.
You
know,
so
it
is
something
that
can
be
done.
You
know
in
a
way
that's
calm
in
a
way.
That's
not
disruptive
to
the
community.
S
S
Okay,
also
with
regards
to
Staffing,
you
know
we
have
approximately
20
Certified
Recovery
peer
Advocates
that
work
at
acbc.
They
complete
46
hours
of
training,
part
of
that
training
involves
how
to
work
with
people
that
have
experienced
trauma
who
might
be
impaired
by
substances
how
to
connect
them
with
resources
and
how
to
keep
things
common
safe.
You
know
at
any,
given
day
in
our
clinic
now
you
know
we
can
do
a
fire
drill
and
have
200
people
in
the
building.
S
So
you
know
we
have
experience
and
that's
you
know
without
having
security
without
having
law
enforcement
present.
You
know
I,
think,
with
appropriate
training,
there's
a
lot
that
we
can
accomplish
to
keep
things
safe,
to
keep
things
calm
and
certainly
you
know
like
we
would
be
implementing
additional
safety
features
such
as
a
metal
detector,
cameras,
lighting
and,
and
we're
not
going
to
have
people
congregating
outside,
like
that's
not
the
point
of
going
to
a
cold
weather
shelter.
You
know
like
it's
to
bring
people
inside.
S
Eventually,
there
will
be
more
offices
in
the
building
on
the
first
floor
will
be
where
we
move
our
Outpatient
Clinic,
where
we'll
have
medical
services,
a
food
pantry.
On
the
second
floor,
there's
plans
to
have
employee
daycare
and
employee
gym
administrative
offices,
and
currently
there
are
Apartments
there,
there's
student
Apartments
Catholic
Charities
rent
space
and
has
Warehouse
there
and
programs.
So
it's
already
in
use
for
certain
things.
S
Yes,
so
acbc
currently
has
a
main
location
in
Binghamton
we
have
an
outpatient
clinic
in
andica
on
Main
Street.
We
have
a
clinic
on
the
campus
of
the
Children's
Home
on
Chenango
Street
and
we
also
have
a
clinic
in
Norwich.
So
these
are
you
know
similar
to
outpatient,
Primary
Care
visits
people
go
in
for
assessments,
they
have
Individual
Counseling
group
counseling,
family
counseling.
We
do
lots
of
referrals,
so
if
people
need
a
higher
level
of
care
such
as
like
going
to
a
detox
or
going
to
inpatient,
we
provide
those
referrals
oftentimes.
We
do
provide
transportation.
D
I
went
back
and
looked
at
the
staff
report
on
this
properties,
I'm
going
to
read
out
a
couple
of
things
from
it.
The
upper
stories
of
the
building
currently
contain
office
space
and
a
dance
school.
What
are
the
hours
of
operation
of
the
dance
school
and
how
much
overlap
would
there
be
between
the
hours
of
the
dance
school
and
the
opening
time
of
the
center.
S
So
we
know
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
open
this
warming
Center
for
this
winter.
You
know
we
would
be
looking
for
next
winter
and
the
dance
studio
I
believe
stays
open
until
eight
or
nine,
but
we
wouldn't
be
renewing
the
lease
after
their
lease
turns
out.
D
S
D
V
D
Okay,
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
I
understood
that
and
I
have
nothing
further.
Thank
you.
B
J
I,
don't
know
a
couple
operational
questions
for
you.
The
current
plan
curfews
at
10
and
the
current
capacity
under
the
site
plan
would
be
for
40
beds,
so
the
41st
person
shows
up-
or
someone
shows
up
at
1001.
what
happens
to
client
number
41
or
the
client
who
shows
up.
Because
of
you
know.
His
watch
is
bad
and
he
shows
up
at
1001.
S
J
J
You've
also
you've
you've
referenced
both
tonight
and
in
last
month's
meeting,
the
examples
of
other
warming
stations
in
Oneonta,
Syracuse
and
Albany
that
you're,
using
as
a
model
for
this
proposal,
do
you
have
any
I,
don't
know
what
I'm
looking
for
reports
study
information
about
the
success
of
those
those
warming
stations
as
far
as
their
impact
on
the
community
are
there?
Are
there
things
that
you
could
show
or
share
with
some
of
these
concerned
businesses
and
neighbors
that
could
put
their
minds
at
ease?
S
I
have
to
say
it
does
feel
uncomfortable
and
I
feel
like
it's
very
othering,
because,
honestly,
like
look
at
downtown
after
the
St
Patrick's
Day
Parade
like
look
at
downtown
after
Santa
Con,
you
know
and
the
red
Solo
cups
and
kind
of
what
we
go
through
like
what
are
40
homeless
people
in
my
basement,
like
really
going
to
do,
you
know
like
we're
going
to
connect
them
to
Services.
You
know,
I
can
give
an
example.
Over
the
summer
in
Endicott
there
was
an
encampment
on
the
riverbed
towards
mercero
park.
S
There
were
a
couple
of
encampments.
We
did
Outreach
to
those
spots,
one
of
the
young
persons
that
was
homeless,
he'd
been
homeless
the
entire
summer,
and
it
got
to
a
point.
He
was
on
a
waiting
list
for
housing
where
he
said
I'm,
either
going
to
kill
myself
or
walk
to
Florida.
He
is
housed
right
now.
S
You
know
like
these
are
people
that,
like
they
are
looking
for
help,
some
of
them
are
very
stuck,
but
I
I
feel
very
kind,
confident
that
we'll
be
able
to
help
people
out
of
homeless,
where
they're
not
going
to
need
the
warming
Center.
S
J
T
As
with
all
zoning
matters,
in
my
experience
it's
what
you
don't
know
that
you're
the
most
afraid
of
right
it.
It
could
be
this,
it
could
be
a
gas
station.
It
could
be
any
of
a
hundred
projects
that
I
personally
have
been
involved
in
over
the
last
20
years.
Where
there's
a
change?
There's
a
concern
you
know,
can
we
remove
all
concern?
No,
but
we
can
first
of
all
choose
a
location.
That's
already
zoned
appropriately
we're
not
asking
to
put
this
in
an
R1
single
family,
residential
zoning
District.
T
This
is
an
industrial
district
and
you
can
rely
on
the
track
record
of
a
proven
agency
that
has
more
experience
than
any
other
agency
I'm
aware
of
in
this
County
that
is
operating
successfully
so
much
so
that
they've
run
out
of
space
and
bought
a
building
and
and
are
going
to
be
utilizing
that
to
provide
additional
Services
I.
Think
at
some
point
you
just
do
have
to
take
that
step.
T
Everyone
is
not
going
to
be
happy
that
that's
for
sure
and
I
think,
to
the
extent
that
we
are
able
to
put
the
right
people
in
the
right
place
to
provide
the
services.
That
is
exactly
the
situation
you
have
here.
K
I'm
gonna
voice,
my
concerns
to
respect
and
and
the
work
that
you
do
and
and
I
know
that
there's
a
strong
need,
I
know
to
speak
to
my
colleagues.
I
I
would
like
to
see
some
more
Community
impact
studies
from
the
other
areas.
My
concern
is
beyond
the
businesses
that
I
know
it's
an
industrial
neighborhood.
We
also
have
the
walking
of
school
children.
K
You
know
my
son
growing
up
was
a
school
Walker
and
that
hits
home
for
me
and
it
makes
me
concerned
about
about
the
things
in
the
neighborhood
I
know
this
has
to
go
somewhere,
so
I
don't
seem
to
be
chaos
or
ignorant
to
this,
but
I
would
like
to
see
before
I
would
go
forward.
Some
impact
studies
for
other
neighborhoods
I,
don't
know
if
this
is
a
possibility
or
my
thoughts
for
my
my
other
panel
members
right.
T
We
just
don't
know
if
they
did,
that,
not
the
data
that
we
wouldn't
have
independent
knowledge
of.
We
can
certainly
reach
out
and
ask
for
it,
but
it
doesn't
exist,
I'm.
Sorry.
If,
if
the
data
exists,
we
can
try
to
get
it,
but
it
might
not
exist
and
I
don't
want
to
promise
something.
We
can't
deliver.
N
I
just
wanted
to
know
something.
The
the
applicant
has
talked
about
plans
for
the
rest
of
the
building
what's
being
proposed
today.
It's
a
type
2
action
under
Seeker
Seeker
does
require
you,
though,
as
a
board
to
look
at
sort
of
the
big
picture.
Since
the
applicant
noted
plans
for
clinics,
outpatient,
rehab
facilities
and
other
things
in
the
building,
it's
something
that
should
be
considered.
N
Otherwise,
it
raises
an
issue
of
segmentation,
which
is
segmentation,
is
splitting
a
project
into
parts
that
are
small
enough
to
be
type
2
actions
or
to
not
be
significant.
When
there's
a
larger
project
that
may
be
significant
and
given
the
size
of
the
facility,
it's
possible
that
it
would
not
be
a
type
2
action
if
the
project
were
being
considered
as
a
whole.
So
that's
just
something
that
the
Board
needs
to
consider.
T
And
I
would
say
to
that:
we
would
have
come
to
you
with
an
entire
project
if
we
had
funding
or
even
a
timeline
for
a
a
project,
but
we
don't
so
we
don't
know
I
mean
these
are
aspirational
goals
to
to
fully
develop
the
building.
T
But
when
that
will
happen
we
don't
know
so
in
terms
of
Seeker
segmentation.
It
has
to
be
sort
of
reasonably
foreseeable,
it
might
be,
and
it
might
not
be
I
mean
if
the.
If
the
resources
don't
come
through
for
some
of
those
other
possibilities,
then
the
building
will
be
continued
to
use
as
it
is
being
used
now
for
office
from
space.
D
I
think
I
land
in
a
similar
place
as
Kelly
and
Chris,
regarding
what
I
would
feel
I
needed
I
mean
it's
easy
to
give
in
to
the
public
sentiment
and
say
no,
because
I
wouldn't
want
this
in
my
neighborhood
and
I.
Don't
want
to
do
it
to
someone
else,
but
I
don't
want
to
make
a
new
law
where
it
doesn't
exist
in
essence,
and
so
is
Miss
Campbell
pointed
out.
D
This
usage
is
permitted
for
this
property,
but
things
I,
look
at
standards
for
site
plan,
review,
item,
Public,
Safety
and
feeling
like
I
feel
like
I,
have
concerns
yet
to
still
be
answered,
and
given
what
I've
observed
from
the
people's
came
up
to
speak,
they
do
as
well
so
I
couldn't
go
forward
with
this,
as
is
right
now,
I
feel
like
I
would
need
more.
T
And
what
what
more
it'd
be
helpful
for
us
to
understand
what
you're
looking
for
it
would
be
nice
if
there
was
a
you
know,
a
study
or
something
but
I,
don't
know
that
there
is
so
in
the
absence
of
that.
What
other
information
like?
Would
you,
like
the
police
department
to
come
and
speak
to
you
talk
about
increased
Supervision
in
the
area?
Well,.
D
I
think
all
of
that
increased
supervision,
I
think
doing
a
search
for
studies
and-
and
you
know
maybe
they
exist-
maybe
they
don't
but
I
think
the
effort
has
to
put
into
to
doing
that,
and
you
know
I
personally
am
concerned
about
the
possibility
that
somebody
can
just
leave
the
middle
of
the
night.
I
know
from
a
practical
standpoint.
You
can't
lock
them
in
that's
very
tough
to
enforce,
but
I
think
that
was
very
negatively
received
by
others
who
came
up
and
spoken
as
soon
as
I
said
something
about
it
was
like.
S
I
have
a
comparison
like
who
wants
to
leave
the
warming
Center,
but
you
know
people
leave
the
hospital
against
medical
advice.
They
leave
inpatient
rehabs
against
medical
advice.
They
leave
the
bar
and
drive
when
they
shouldn't
drive,
so
I'm
I'm,
not
sure
you
know,
like
I.
Think
if
we
were
operational.
We'd
have
some
data
about
that,
but
I,
don't
I,
don't
really
know.
J
Carmel
and
Sarah
two
two
thoughts.
First,
taking
a
step
back
to
what
else?
Could
you
guys
provide
for
us
to
chew
on
and
Digest
one
of
the
things
that
has
come
up
a
couple
different
times
was
what
happens
after
7
A.M
8
A.M
10
a.m.
We're
also
the
actual
time
when
the
warming
Center
is
going
to
close
and
the
clients
are
dispersing
to
their
other
daily
activities.
J
J
J
S
That's
fine
I
mean
we,
we
know
the
resources,
you
know
our
clients
that
are
at
the
YMCA,
the
YWCA,
the
VOA
that
are
in
shelters
right
now
they
go
to
treatment,
they
go
to
DSS,
they
go
to
Prairie,
they
look,
they
go
to
Workforce,
not
as
accessible
for
them,
because
it's
you
know
some
of
the
services
moved
up
to
the
mall.
So
you
know,
like
people
can
do
things
right
and
we
can
lay
out
those
options
and
and
give
a
schedule
of
when
the
vehicles
could
assist.
J
The
second
suggestion
I
would
have-
and
this
is
not
necessarily
that's-
going
to
be
achievable
by
April
at
the
next
meeting,
but
if
you're
looking
for
a
longer
term
answers
if
some
of
that
data
that
we
talked
about
like
what
what
the
impacts
have
been
on
the
local
neighborhoods
in
Syracuse,
Oneonta
and
Albany.
If
that's
not
existing
report
right
now,
a
sincere
honest
answer,
I
would
give
you
is
reaching
out
to
the
mpa
program
at
Binghamton,
University
and
the
masters
of
social
work
program
over
there.
J
There
I'm
sure
our
master's
students
who
would
love
to
help
you
guys
collect
that
data
and
put
into
something.
Now
again,
it's
gonna
be
something
that
we'd
have
by
the
April
meeting.
I,
don't
I,
don't
want
to
promise
that,
but
there
are
people
out
there
who
would
love
to
help
you
develop
that
stuff.
S
So
I've
been
an
adjunct
there
for
11
years
and
I'm
on
The
Advisory
board
for
the
mpa
program
and
I
can
but
I
I
guess
it
would
also
I
guess.
I'd
also
include
some
of
the
studies
that
the
mpa
programs
done
on
gentrification
in
Binghamton
and
how
that's
created
homelessness
and
some
of
that
information
too.
A
You're
good
Chris:
do
you
have
anything
else
so
I
don't
know
if
there's
a
a
concrete
answer
for
this,
but
it
seems
like
a
large
percentage
of
the
concerns
have
been
about
like
security
in
the
neighborhood
at
opening
and
closing
and
I.
Think
if
there
was
a
concrete
answer
to
how
that
gets
handled,
it
probably
would
help
I,
don't
know
what
that
answer
is,
but
we.
S
Completely
respect
that
and-
and
we
can
try
to
put
forth
more
detail
in
that
area-
it's
just
right
now,
like
our
homeless,
are
dispersed
everywhere.
You
know
like
if
we
could
create
like
an
underground
tunnel
to
like
you
know
from
the
sneakiest
most
discreet
spot
and
get
them
in
and
get
them
out
and
no
one
would
see
them
but
like
they
are
literally
everywhere
right
now,.
A
A
A
A
T
B
T
A
All
right
so
no
decision
tonight
for
15
trial
street,
so
that
takes
us
to
our
last
applicant
for
a
public
hearing.
Diane
King
project
address
is
81
State
Street.
This
is
a
site
plan
review
and
special
use
permit
for
the
establishment
of
an
eating
and
drinking
establishment
Tavern
in
a
below
grade
commercial
tenant
space
in
the
C2
downtown
business
district.
F
A
A
Right
so
what
has
changed
between
last
meeting
and
this
meeting.
AB
E
AB
Absolutely
sorry,
good
evening,
everyone,
my
name,
is
Dylan
Yang
and
I
live
at
130,
Murray
Street.
Since
the
last
time
we
spoke,
we
actually
updated
a
few
things.
We
have
the
update
security
plan,
that's
been
reflecting
our
engineering
floor
plan,
we
have
added
four
existing
cameras
and
we
also
be
utilizing
the
afford
new
camera
zombie
before
we
also
be
utilizing
the
existing
cameras
in
the
exterior.
AB
Secondly,
we
also
decided
to
move
the
trash
room
to
the
rear
part
of
the
bar.
The
reason
being,
we
just
don't
want
to
have
a
lot
of
traffic
since
the
individual
Planet
attraction
was
in
the
front
and
that's
kind
of
where
the
patrons
would
be
entering
exiting.
So
we
just
kind
of
want
to
reduce
the
conflict
with
that,
though,.
A
All
right
any
questions
or
comments
about
the
changes.
A
All
right:
well,
why
don't
we
do
this,
we'll
open
the
public
hearing
we'll
see
if
anybody's
here
to
speak
about
the
project
and
then
we'll
have
you
back
to
the
microphone
to
address
any
questions
or
comments
all
right,
so
this
is
the
public
hearing
for
the
applicant
Diane
King
project
address
is
81
State
Street.
This
is
a
site
plan
review
and
special
use
permit
for
the
establishment
of
an
eating
and
drinking
establishment
Tavern
in
a
below
grade
commercial
tenant
space
in
the
C2
downtown
business
district.
A
Man,
the
crowd,
really
cleared
out
all
right
and
we
didn't
receive
any
letters
about
this
project.
N
A
B
A
A
N
I
just
want
to
remind
the
board
that
174
Clinton
Street
was
tabled.
Until.
A
The
End-
yes
I'm,
sorry,
are
you
with
174
Clinton
Street?
Oh
I'm!
Sorry,
you
missed
your
window
at
the
beginning.
You
had
to
sit
through
this
whole
thing,
all
right,
all
right,
so
we
tabled
174
Clinton
Street.
So
we'll
look
at
that
again,
all
right,
so
we'll
go
back
to
Seeker
determinations,
so
our
next
Seeker
determination
will
be
for
the
applicant
William
Durham
project
address
is
174
Clinton
Street.
A
AC
So
this
is
very
new
business,
so
it's
kind
of
hard
to
answer
some
questions.
My
name
is
William
Norman.
First
of
all,
how
you
guys
doing
and
I
live
on
the
south
side
of
Binghamton
115
Park
Ave
been
in
the
neighborhood
for
a
while
couple:
different
businesses
doing
construction.
So
right
now
we're
in
the
Cannabis
business
right
now
we're
opening
Ithaca
New
York
with
a
retail
location,
so
Binghamton
was
granted
to
approval
for
delivery
location,
so
I'm
looking
into
this
location
for
storage
of
the
Cannabis
product
and
delivery,
only
location.
AC
I
wish
it
was
that
easy,
but
yeah
so
we'll
be
doing
car
deliveries,
bike
deliveries,
moped
deliveries
right
now,
we're
just
sticking
to
Vehicles.
It's
a
new
business
and
we're
gonna
start
up
kind
of
small,
so
we're
thinking
slow
start
with
the
vehicles
and
work
our
way
into
different
forms
of
transportation.
AC
A
All
right,
we
had
one
other
approval
recently
for
a
cannabis
retail
establishment
and
they
talked
about
security
a
little
bit.
Do
you
mind
just
filling
Us
in
on
security
concerns
for
this
type
of
business.
AC
Security
concerns,
so
we
do
right
now
we're
working
on
a
security
system
in
Ithaca,
New,
York,
28,
camera
setup,
it's
gonna
be
live
feed,
so
you
know
we'll
be
able
to
monitor
whatever's
going
on
on
a
24-hour
basis.
Basically,
I
really
don't
have
any
consider
security
concerns
myself.
Personally,
we've
been
in
the
area
for
a
while.
We
know
the
area.
My
wife
operates
a
hair
salon
directly
across
the
street
on
a
couple
properties
in
the
area
as
well,
so
I
mean
it
seems
to
be
okay
in
the
area.
AC
I'm
not
too
much
worried
about
security,
but
we
do
have
plans
in
place
for
certain
procedures
as
far
as
delivery
setting
up
in
the
morning,
moving
out
with
our
orders
and
securing
the
location
at
night.
Okay,.
A
All
right
with
no
other
questions
or
concerns,
then
I'll
make
a
motion
that
the
proposal
involves
the
ReUse
of
an
existing
mixed
use,
building,
which
is
a
type
2
action
under
seeker,
and
that
no
further
environmental
review
is
required
all
right.
Second,
by
Manny,
all
in
favor
all
right,
that's
seven
in
favor,
zero
opposed
and
I'll
make
a
motion
to
schedule.
A
public
hearing
for
the
project
at
5
30
at
the
April
meeting,
all
right
second,
by
Steve,
all
in
favor,
zero
opposed
all
right.
A
AC
B
J
Tito
just
a
question
for
you:
I
remember
quite
a
while
ago,
when
the
first,
the
local
cannabis
city
law
was
passed.
There
was
a
that
fancy
color-coded
map
where
you
could
and
you
could
I'm
assuming
when
any
of
these
projects
come
forward,
you
guys
are
planning
or
because
I
don't
have
that
color-coded
map
memorized
about
like
how
far
from
schools
and
yellow
versus
red
lines
and
all
that
kind
of
fun,
stuff,
you're
double
checking
that
stuff.
So.
N
That
map
that
map
was
based
on
the
state
requirements
for
licensing
that
was
not
a
locally
adopted
regulations,
so
our
zoning
code
just
allows
it
in
certain
zoning
districts
and
you
have
to
be
licensed
to
apply
in
the
state
exactly
the
state
wouldn't
issue
the
license.
If
he
didn't
meet
the
requirement
yep.
N
No
yeah
yeah,
he
got
he.
He
got
permission
from
the
state
to
do
delivery
here.
Correct
no,
for
storage,
no
he's
good
to
operate
at
this
location
in
the
ethical
location.
So
he
has
licenses
for
those
two
locations.
Yeah.
N
So
if
you
guys
recall
it
was
a
while
ago,
the
stadium
District
Master
Plan,
which
is
Economic
Development
and
sort
of
planning
proposal
for
the
area
around
mirabito
Stadium
that
was
adopted
by
the
city,
that
Plan
called
for
rezoning
of
certain
parts
of
the
stadium
District
to
make
development
in
those
areas
easier.
And
so
that's
what
we're
proposing
here.
Basically,
the
industrial
areas
would
become
commercial
which
would
allow
more
uses,
including
residential,
which
is
what
we
want.
The
industrial
districts
don't
don't
allow
residential
uses.
N
The
lower
intensity
commercial
District
that
Henry
Street
is
now
would
be
sort
of
upgraded
to
a
higher
density
District
and
the
intersection
of
Pine
and
forget,
which
historically
has
had
a
cluster
of
commercial
businesses.
There
would
be
made
sort
of
a
low
intensity,
commercial
Pocket,
so
that
the
businesses
that
are
there
now
will
become
legal
and
can
expand
or
change
business
types
put
up,
new
signs
and
things
of
that
nature,
which
they
can't
do
right
now,
because
it's
selling
residential.
N
So
those
are
the
three
main
things
is:
make
the
industrial
districts
commercial,
make
Henry
Street
a
more
dense
commercial
area
that
that
will
promote
mixed
use
and
then
make
that
commercial
Pocket
on
Pine
and
forget
Zone
commercial.
N
So
we,
what
we
want,
is
a
motion
to
to
recommend
the
adoption
of
the
reznoning
or
recommending
the
council
not
adopted,
and
also
to
make
a
recommendation.
As
far
as
Seeker
is
concerned,.
A
All
right
Tito:
can
you
there's
one
little
parcel
that
was
outlined
here
right
right
off
of
Pine
Street,
this
little
guy
right
here?
Sorry,
it's
that
little!
That
was
separated
out.
Why
yeah?
What
is
that
so.
N
N
That
section
was
residential
lots
fronting
on
Pine
that
those
have
since
been
demolished.
That's
part
of
the
fire
station,
the
zoning
there
doesn't
really
matter
because
it'll
be
the
fire
station
for
a
long
time,
but
we
just
wanted
to
sort
of
clean
up
the
map.
You
know
make
that
parcel
one.
Zoning
District.
B
N
If
you
could
go
down
the
list
and
I'll
I'll
pass
you
a
staff
report
now,
if
you
don't
mind,
do.
A
A
A
All
right
so
I'll
make
a
motion
for
a
negative
Declaration
on
or
a
recommendation
that
city
council
makes
a
motion
for
negative
declaration
based
on
the
following
that
the
proposed
action
may
involve
construction
on
or
physical
alteration
of
the
land
surface
of
the
proposed
site,
so
impact
on
land,
no
impact
on
land;
no
impact
on
geological
features.
A
Are
you
okay,
if
I
just
do
the
headings
of
each
one?
All
right?
No
impact
on
geological
features,
no
impacts
on
surface
water,
no
impact
on
groundwater,
no
impact
on
flooding,
no
impact
on
air,
no
impact
on
plants
and
animals;
no
impact
on
agricultural
resources,
no
impact
on
aesthetic
resources,
no
impact
on
historic
or
archaeological
resources;
no
impact
on
open
space
and
Recreation;
no
impact
on
critical
environmental
areas;
no
impact
on
Transportation;
no
impact
on
energy;
no
impact;
okay;
sorry,
no
impact
on
noise
odor
and
light
no
impact
on
human
health;
it.
A
J
Earlier
when
we
were
discussing
the
15
Charles
Street
project,
one
of
the
things
that
Ms
Campbell
stressed
a
couple
different
times
was
this
property
Zone
Industrial
and
that's
factually
accurate?
But
how
nearby
are
there
residentially,
zoned
properties,
which
I
think
needs
to
be
considered
if
there
are
residential,
Zone
properties
Within
across
the
street
down
the
street
by
two
by
two
you
know
by
half
a
block
I
mean
I
I
want
is.
Is
that
legitimate
to
con
to
consider
that
there
are
Residential
Properties
within
X
meters
of
this
site
as
well?
I.
N
Think
so
I
think
you
can
consider
neighborhood
character
and
the
neighborhood
goes
beyond
just
the
zoning
District
that
this
is
in.
This
is
in
the
urban
Business
Park
District.
So
that's
a
correction
to
what
she
said:
it's
not
a
light
and
medium
industrial.
It's
the
urban
Business
Park
District,
which
is
for
high-tech
industrial
sort
of
clean
industry,
and
it
allows
mixed-use
development
and
residential
as
well,
and
then
to
answer
your
question
about
the
distance.
N
So
there's
this
parcel,
there's
Mr
cachadorian's
junkyard
for
lack
of
a
better
word
and
then
right
across
the
street.
From
from
the
junkyard.
You
have
your
first
properties
there
in
the
residential
zoning
District
Beyond
his
junkyard.
The
next
parcel
is
the
parking
lot
for
acbc
that
their
staff
and
presumably
their
clients
would
be
using
and
that
abuts
a
row
of
looks
like
10
one
and
two
family
houses
are
right
next
to
that
parking
lot
for
acbc.
So
it's
close.
B
When
they
mentioned
about
another,
where
there
was
a
rehabilitation
center
was
on
Clinton
Street,
we
voted
on
that
about
four
or
five
years
ago
and
there
was
a
line
and
people
that
came
in
in
support
of
it
within
a
corner
of
Clinton
and
somewhere.
So
it
sounds
like
it
failed.
It's
not
there
anymore.
B
N
Referred
to
was
the
greater
Binghamton
Health
Center
on
Clinton
and
mcgat,
which
was
a
mental
health
place.
That
was
there
for
a
long
time.
Okay,.
B
F
B
N
But
that
was
for
mental,
that
was
a
mental
health
plan.
Okay,
I
can't
think
of
anything
else.
Well,.
B
I
just
remember
the
result:
oh
major
amount
of
people
coming
in
talking
about
it
and
it's
like
the
whole
issues
might
refresh
that
and
my
sitting
back
was
because
my
son
does
snow
removal
of
her
book
when
he
was
in
a
hotel
and
tovaric.
So
it's
even
though
it's
not
a
close
conflict
of
interest
right,
close
enough
to
I,
don't
wanna
get
that
involved.
B
A
Right
anything
else,
any
updates
on
the
delinquent
site
plan
on
Front
Street
there,
the
tow
truck
guy.
N
No,
no
updates
right
now
we
did
reach
out
to
the
other
your
other
complaint
from
the
last
meeting,
I'm,
not
sure
where
they
stand.
The
B
families.
