September 23, 2013, City Council Meeting

The
council
president,
yes,
I
know
this
was
left
off
the
the
schedule
or
off
the
agenda,
but
I
had
spoken
to
mr
lopez
about
the
mayoral
appointment
for
mr
greg
murca
to
the
cranston
historical
society.
I
didn't
know
if
it
was
possible
to
make
mention
of
it.
Now
they
were
supposed
to
get
a
letter
to
the
clerk,
and
unfortunately
mr
lopez
was
sick
latter
part
of
last
week.
So
I
don't
know
if
it
was.
F
A
G
A
H
H
A
I
My
name
is
gayle
donnelly
and
I
have
lived
at
77
roberts
circle
here
in
cranston
for
the
past
32
years.
Thank
you
for
giving
me
the
time
to
speak.
I
would
also
like
to
thank
councilman,
mr
paul
arkhedo,
for
arranging
us
to
be
on
the
docket
again
this
month
and
hopefully
every
month
and
going
forward
until
this
matter
is
resolved.
I
I
We
would
like
to
know
if
that
correspondence
has
occurred.
Yet
more
than
the
requested
two
weeks
has
passed.
All
is
quiet
on
the
bas
property.
I
am
wondering
now
what
the
next
project
will
be.
Besides
the
ongoing
water
and
soil
testing
that
our
committee
is
aware
of
the
cold
months
are
coming
and
we
have
concerns
regarding
vagrants
fires,
lack
of
security
and
fire
alarms
in
only
one
of
the
three
buildings.
I
I
A
G
A
J
J
More
than
anything,
I
think
one
of
the
most
important
things,
one
of
the
most
poignant
things
that
we
did
in
2009
as
a
city
for
owner
occupied
properties
and
for
the
tenants
of
properties
that
were
being
foreclosed
on,
was
provided
protections
for
our
homeowners
against
the
banks.
The
banks,
as
we
know
still
to
this
day,
are
not
in
compliance
in
many
ways
with
dodd-frank
disclosure
war
and
any
number
of
other
issues
that
have
been
put
in
place
to
protect
homeowners.
J
J
house,
is
still
empty.
The
house
is
literally
sitting
there
rotting,
so
the
foreclosure
protections
for
homeowners
are
very
important
people
being
forced
out
of
homes
that
inevitably
the
banks
don't
take.
Care
of.
My
last
thing
I
want
to
bring
to
your
attention
is
44
azalea
court.
I
I
also
have
a
background
in
real
estate.
I
had
clients
who
had
a
purchase
and
sale
agreement
on
that
property
property
is
now
empty.
J
The
owner
was
forced
out
of
the
property.
Improper
disclosures
were
sent
by
bank
of
america
that
intervened
in
the
advertisement
of
the
foreclosure.
So
basically,
there
is
not
clear
title
to
that
property
and
technically
that
homeowner
who's.
Now,
out
of
their
home
still
owns
it
and
has
to
be
reforeclosed
on
the
issues
are
huge
and
our
protections
need
to
stay
as
a
community.
J
Okay,
one
other
thing
I'd
like
to
bring
to
the
council's
attention.
I
did
try
to
bring
this
up
with
our
city
solicitor
and
our
clerk
back
in
january.
I
noticed
that,
on
an
assignment
that
I
have
on
my
own
home
after
doing
some
research,
that
there
was
a
signature
on
my
assignment,
that
was
also
on
half
a
dozen
additional
assignments
within
the
city
and
that
person
acting
as
several
different
capacities
on
different
documents
that
are
in
our
registry
documents
that
the
banks
use
to
take
people's
homes
and
that
the
banks
use
to
foreclose.
J
A
K
K
K
We
have.
We
have
a
lot
of
concerns
about
the
size
of
the
building,
the
one
that
they're
going
to
build
in
the
empty
parking
lot
there.
I
was
there
the
other
day.
We
got
to
do
some
measurements
and
if
you
go
from
the
corner,
the
inside
corner
of
the
existing
cjcr
building,
which
would
be
the
corner
closest
to
the
rectory
of
the
church,
and
I
measured
to
the
to
the
large
trees
to
look
like
it
was
they
would
they
were
on
the
property
line.
I
get
298
feet.
K
K
I
I
don't
understand
how
a
building
of
that
size
is
going
to
fit
there
they're
already
short
one
acre
of
land
they're,
trying
to
get
a
variance
for
it.
They're
also
trying
to
get
variances
for
setbacks.
They
need
to
park.
104
vehicles
there
we're
short
they're
short
for
parking
vehicles
on
site.
At
the
last
meeting
they
said
they
were
going
to
park
vehicles
where
the
parking
right
is,
but
that
property
doesn't
belong
to
them.
There's
going
to
be
fights
over
parking
spots,
who's
going
to
police
all
these
people,
the
other.
K
The
other
thing
is,
let's
see,
the
height
of
the
building
is
12
feet
above
the
zoning
code,
we're
just
asking
if,
if
they
would
look
at
this
again
and
downsize
it
a
little
bit,
and
so
you
could
fit
the
cars,
you
don't
have
a
problem
with
snow
removal,
where's
all
this
stuff
going
to
go.
You
have
to
keep
in
mind
that
church
will
be
in
in
session
on
saturday
nights
and
there's
three
three
times
on
sunday
morning.
K
You
look
there
there's
going
to
be
at
least
75
cars
per
time
that
there's
there's
a
mass
they're
parking
on
poplar
drive
on
the
big
part
of
poplar
drive
and
they're
also
parking
on
in
applebee's
parking
lot.
At
that
time.
Applebee's
is
closed,
but
on
a
saturday
night,
applebee's
is
open.
It's
congested
like
crazy.
There.
One
other
thing.
I
I've.
K
I've
heard
that
there
was
a
planning
department,
a
planning
meeting
for
this
project,
and
so
I
called
zoning.
They
referred
me
to
the
planning
department
and
I
spoke
to
a
mr
peter
lapolla.
I
guess
he's
in
charge
there
and
he
told
me
that
the
there
was
a
meeting
of
the
week
before
september
12th
for
planning
and
according
according
to
their
rules
in
their
department,
they're
supposed
to
send
out
letters
to
people
that
are
a
hundred
feet
from
the
property
line.
K
K
The
best
way
I
can
explain
it
is
that
they're
just
trying
to
squeeze
a
football
into
a
golf
ball
hole.
It's
it's.
If,
if
I
said,
I
want
to
put
an
addition
on
my
house
they're
not
going
to,
let
me
do
what
they're
doing
over
there.
It's
just
insane.
It's
it's
going
to
cause
nothing
but
chaos,
and
it's
a
it's
a
nice
neighborhood
and
we
don't
want
to
see
it
go
downhill.
It's
not
we're
not
against
the
project,
we're
against
the
size
and
there's
just
not
enough
parking
and
the
building's
too
too
big.
K
K
You
you
go
from
a
meeting
back
in
like
may
or
june,
and
and
then
also
you're
in
the
planning
stages
of
back
in
probably
early
september,
you're
having
a
council
meeting
september,
12th
and
already
a
final
meeting
tonight.
This
is
going
way
too
fast.
This
needs
to
be
this
needs
to
be
looked
at
more
carefully
and
I
try
to
pull
building
permits
in
the
city
of
cranston.
We
did
a
spec
house
in
alpine
states
about
eight
or
ten
years
ago.
It
took
me
eight
months
to
get
a
building
permit.
K
I
just
can't
see
how
this
process
of
information
that
they
need
to
gather
can
go
so
quickly
and
and
at
a
at
a
project
of
this
size,
and
you
know
the
other
thing
we're
trying
to
do.
Is
we
have
a
petition
right
now
to
make
popular
drive
or
one
way
where
the
houses
are
going
from
garden
city
drive
to
to
cyprus
like
in
in
that
way?
K
K
L
Hi
colin
mignotelli
to
poplar
drive
also
across
from
saint
mark's,
and
I
also
had
some
concerns
about
the
parking
it
does.
I
have
a
copy
of
the
ordinance
and
the
plans
of
this
project.
That's
going
to
supposedly
go
through.
It
does
say
on
here
that
they
improved
traffic
and
parking
circulation,
but
I
don't
see
how
without
poplar
drive
being
a
one-way.
L
L
L
It
says
it
once
twice
several
times
in
here,
statistically,
single-parent
households
have
gone
up,
people
are
grandparenting,
kids,
children
and
I
know
at
the
last
meeting
it
was
brought
up
that
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
tax
revenue
would
come
in
with
this
development
and,
like
we
said
we're
not
against
it,
it
just
seems
like
to
be
going
too
fast
to
going
too
fast
being
slipped
under
the
door.
I
we
don't
know
enough
about
it
for
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
tax
revenue.
L
L
These
children
start
to
go
to
the
school
cranston
charges
about
rounding
up
a
little
14
000
per
child.
If
you
had
eight
eight
kids
in
there,
the
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
tax
revenue,
if
you
had
two
with
special
needs,
full-blown
special
needs.
That's
a
little!
Maybe
fifty
thousand
dollars
per
child,
so
I
just
feel
like
I'm
being
a
little
I'm
sold
on
things
that
aren't
really
guaranteed
to
me
on
this.
L
M
M
I
have
the
the
benefit
of
knowing
mr
jordan
durham
who's,
one
of
the
one
of
the
developers.
I've
worked
with
him
for
several
years.
I've
known
him
for
about
six
or
seven
years.
Now,
mr
durham
is
probably
the
smartest
individual
I've
ever
met.
I
can
count
on
one
hand
the
five
smartest
people
I
know
jordan's.
Definitely
one
of
them.
M
M
The
the
variances
requested,
I
believe,
are
immaterial
to
the
overall
project
in
a
whole.
I
I'm
here
tonight
to
urge
the
council
to
vote
in
favor
of
the
zone
change.
I
I
think
it's
a
very
good
project
for
the
city.
You
know
here
we
are
again
with
with
a
local
developer
coming
before
us
wanting
to
invest
in
our
city.
M
I
have
the
I'm
a
member
of
saint
mark's
church.
I've
been
I've,
been
a
lifelong
member
of
saint
mark's
church.
I
attended
saint
mark's
school.
I've
sent
my
children
to
st
mark
school.
I
know
the
property
well,
I
know
the
traffic
patterns.
Well,
I
know
the
neighborhood
well,
the
the
traffic
issues
in
the
the
student
issues
and
the
kids
in
school.
M
You
know
those
are
the.
Those
are
the
common
types
of
objections.
I
are
they
without
merit,
I'm
not
going
to
say
yes
or
no
to
that
the
should.
We
ever
build
another
house
in
the
city
of
cranston,
where
the
school-aged
children,
you
know
those
are
the
those
are
the
types
of
objections
that
that
happen
in
every
type
of
every
type
of
application.
Like
this,
I
think
we
need
to
get
past
those
those
objections.
What
I
call
objection
for
the
sake
of
objecting
we
need
to
get
past
those
again.
A
N
N
N
While
you
know
our
girls
are
being
denied,
so
this
resolution,
I
believe,
was
intended
and
you
approved
it,
because
you
thought
it
was
going
to
result
in
in
city
city-owned
fields
being
used
and
to
the
benefit
of
cranston
girls
and
being
protected
so
that
for
grant
the
use
of
cranston
girls
and
cranston
citizens,
and
so
the
opposite
has
occurred,
and
we
encourage
you
to
rethink
this
resolution.
Thank
you.
O
O
P
The
father
verdilight
extends
his
personal
regrets.
He
is
out
of
town
today,
or
else
he
would
be
here.
I
don't
intend
to
replay
the
entire
public
hearing.
I
just
want
to
reiterate
a
couple
points
for
the
council's
consideration,
because
I
know
most
of
you
are
at
the
public
hearing.
First,
with
respect
to
the
process,
my
clients
started
this
back
in
the
spring,
going
door
to
door
with
neighbors
introducing
themselves
and
the
proposed
project.
We
held
a
neighborhood
meeting
at
the
end
of
may
at
the
cranston
public
library
showed
them
conceptual
plans
at
that
time.
P
We
had
numerous
meetings
with
the
planning
department,
the
planning
commission,
as
required
by
your
ordinance
and
state
law,
held
the
public
hearing
that
was
advertised
and
noticed
everyone
that
was
entitled
to
notice
for
the
first
tuesday.
I'm
sorry,
the
second
tuesday.
In
september,
the
ordinance
committee
held
a
public
hearing
again
advertised
and
public
notice
was
sent
out
to
the
required
people
within
400
feet.
Not
100
feet
of
the
the
changing
zone
was
advertised
within
400
feet.
P
P
P
P
21,
I'm
sorry
11
one
bedroom
in
the
new
new
building
for
the
32
units.
The
setback
issue,
which
was
just
discussed,
involves
the
separation
between
the
existing
gymnasium
and
the
property
line
that
we
are.
You
would
typically
require
20
feet.
The
property
line
from
the
back
of
the
gymnasium
to
the
property
line
that
my
clients
is
going
to
acquire
is
14
feet,
and
so
I
cited
it
in
in
our
ordinance.
I
really
don't
think
it's
relative
in
relation
to
the
scheme
of
the
project,
but
that's
what
that
has
to.
P
P
My
clients
are
very
sensitive
to
how
they
do
this.
They
have
proposed
an
extensive
landscaping
plan.
You've
all
had
an
opportunity
to
review
that
in
the
packages
we've
given
we'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
It's
an
opportunity
to
take
a
vacant
school
building,
that's
been
vacant
since
2009
put
it
on
the
tax
rolls
and
introduce
energy
efficient
buildings
to
the
city,
encourage
pedestrian
traffic
with
the
garden
city
shopping
center
and,
in
the
end,
yes
generate
some
tax
revenue
for
the
city.
Thank
you.
Q
Jeffrey
barone,
16
poplar
drive
in
cranston,
I'm
mainly
concerned
with
the
parking
for
this
project.
They
have
52
units
coming
in
whether
it's
single
bedroom
or
two-bedroom.
To
me.
They
said
that
I
believe
they
have
1.9
parking
spots
per
apartment.
You
can't
spill
up
split
up
a
car,
it's
going
to
be
one
or
two,
so
I
think
if
you
have
a
single
family,
I
mean
a
single
bedroom
or
a
two
bedroom.
You're
gonna
pretty
much
need
two
vehicles
per
apartment.
Nothing
can
be
guaranteed
whether
it's
going
to
be
one
or
not.
Q
R
R
R
R
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak
understand
this
evening.
I
look
forward
to
attending
the
next
francis
city
council
meeting
for
review
on
the
new
proposal.
Our
request
no
hope
be
taken
this
evening
by
the
princeton
city
council
or
any
other
approving
authority
this
evening.
Until
all
further
options
have
been
studied.
A
T
T
I
can
tell
you
that
if
we
decide
or
if
this
does
not
go
through,
we
will
entertain
other
offers
on
the
property
and
they
may
see
a
commercial
development
there
we're
just
not
going
to
have
a
choice.
We
can't
leave
that
property
vacant
anymore.
It's
it's
obviously
fallen
disrepair.
Saint
mark's
has
put
a
tremendous
amount
of
money
into
that
that
they'll
never
recoup
and
something
needs
to
be
done
with
it.
Now
the
developers
have
put
together
a
very
thoughtful
sensitive
and
as
far
as
I'm
concerned,
low
density
plan
to
to
build
out
that
property.
T
It's
the
neighbors
have
to
understand
that
something
else
can
go
in
there
and
you're
going
to
see
more
density
or
you're
going
to
see
a
commercial
use.
My
children
went
to
cjcr
and,
as
I
mentioned
before,
when
I
dropped
my
kids
off
and
when
I
picked
them
up,
there
was
a
lot
more
traffic
there
at
that
certain
times
of
the
day
than
they're
ever
going
to
see
with
52
units.
T
I
know
they're
short
a
little
bit
of
parking.
It's
going
to
be
negligible,
there's
no
parking
on
that
back
area
now,
so
all
your
parking
is
going
to
be
contained
with
within
the
development
they're
proposing
you're
not
going
to
see
any
of
that
spill
out
parking
onto
the
street.
Again
I
applaud
jordan
and
peter.
I
think
they've
done
a
great
job
and
I
would
appreciate
your
consideration
for
the
project.
U
U
U
U
U
U
V
D
D
Okay,
I
have
a
couple
of
concerns
about
this
number.
One
is
why
this
resolution
is
asking
us
to
not
enforce
a
an
ordinance.
I
know
the
answer
would
probably
be
that
the
state
has
an
ordinance
already
in
effect,
but
to
be
perfectly
frank
with
you
we're
having
trouble
getting
the
banks
now
to
take
care
of
foreclosed
properties,
as
I
say
every
month,
so
my
next
question,
I
guess,
would
be
who's
going
to
enforce
it
on
the
state
level,
but
since
no
one's
here
from
rhode,
island
housing,
I
don't
have
an
answer
to
that.
D
D
B
B
What
happened
is
the
state
this
year
passed
a
foreclosure
mediation,
ordinance
requirement
which
mirrors
ours,
as
well
as
several
other
communities?
The
state
statute,
the
bill
clearly
states
that
it
preempts
local
ordinances
that
are
inconsistent
with
the
provisions
of
the
state
statute
and
there
the
state
statute
is
in
effect
until
july,
1
2018.,
I'm
not.
I
don't
know
why.
But
there
was
dbr
is
the
agency
in
the
state
statute
that
is
given
the
responsibility
of
drafting
the
forms
and
making
those
available,
and
it
was
to
create
consistency
with
regard
to
those
forms.
B
The
notice
requirement
to
the
homeowner
is
the
same
as
what
we
have
on
our
local
books.
The
mediation
process
is
identical
to
what
we
have
in
our
local
ordinance
and
the
the
affidavits
that
they
need
to
provide,
but
where
each
municipality
may
have
slightly
different
forms,
they
will
not
be
statewide
forms
available
for
some
reason.
The
title
industry-
just
I
guess,
had
requested
I'm
not
sure
of
whom
that
the
local
communities
acknowledge
that
their
local
ordinances
were
superseded
by
the
state
statute
section.
B
I
have
it
here.
The
senate
and
house
bills
are
exact,
it's
section,
oh
any
existing
municipal,
ordinance
or
future
ordinance,
which
requires
a
reconciliation
or
mediation
process
as
a
precondition
to
the
recordation
of
a
foreclosure
deed
shall
comply
with
the
provisions
set
forth
herein
and
any
provision
of
said
ordinances
which
do
not
comply
with
provisions
set
forth.
Herein
shall
be
determined
to
be
unenforceable
in
terms
of
the
enforcement.
B
The
the
statute,
as
ordinance
itself
is
self-enforcing.
When
someone
comes
into
a
file
of
foreclosure,
we
do
not
take
it.
We
review
the
document
to
make
sure
it
has
the
appropriate
affidavits
from
the
rhode
island
housing
that
they've
gone
through
the
mediation
process.
That
notice
was
given.
If
those
are
missing,
then
it
doesn't.
It's
not
accepted
for
recording
under
under
our
existing
statute.
That's
how
it
was,
and
it
would
be
the
same
with
the
state
statute.
V
A
W
S
You,
council
president,
I
echo
both
councilman
san
maria
and
councilman
steichos
in
regards
to
suspension
of
the
rules
again,
what
what
is
the
rush?
I
feel
very
uncomfortable
suspending
the
rules
when
there's
no
representation
from
rhode
island
housing,
so
I
would
suggest
to
not
suspend
the
rules
and
go
through
the
committee
process
subcommittee
process
on
this.
Thank
you.
V
Yes,
mr
council,
president,
just
a
couple
of
quick
points:
according
to
the
city
charter,
didn't
we
have
some
decisions
made
a
couple
years
back
on
who
can
introduce
a
resolution?
And
if
that
is
the
case,
who
can
introduce
a
resolution?
I
believe
it
has
to
be
a
member
of
the
council?
Is
that
correct
to
the
solicitor.
F
D
D
There's
no
need
to
to
pass
this
resolution
and
I
really
would
feel
more
comfortable
if
someone
from
rhode
island
housing
was
here
to
answer
our
questions
and
we
I
do
believe
we
have
the
right
to
I'm
not
going
to
use
the
word
cross-examine,
but
we
had
a
floor
manager,
there's
no
floor
manager
for
this
bill.
So
we
can't
ask
the
questions
that
we
need
answered.
So
I
would
think
we
would
push
it
to
next
month
would
be
the
best
thing
to
do.
Councilman,
aquido.
C
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
think
my
colleague
councilman
cedar
brought
up
a
very
good
point.
This
resolution
is
not
properly
for
us.
We
have
no
sponsor
on
this
resolution
and
only
a
member
of
the
city
council
can
draft
and
submit
a
resolution,
so
I
take
it.
This
is
null
and
void,
as
is
because
properly
before
us.
X
I
tend
to
agree
with
my
colleagues
there's
no
sponsor
on
the
resolution.
There's
no
one
to
talk
and
cross-examine
about
the
resolution.
We
didn't
submit
it.
So
how
can
we
put
forward
that
the
world
the
council
is
to
pass
this
resolution
if
the
will
of
the
council
is
not
to
pass
the
resolution,
so
I
agree
with
my
colleagues
and
I'll
be
voting
no
on
suspended
rules.
E
E
Anyway,
I
mean
our
ordinance
does
not
supersede
state
law
in
what,
as
a
practical
matter,
I
can
tell
you
that
any
conveyancer
who
would
be
dealing
with
real
estate
is
going
to
is
going
to
make
sure
that
there's
a
a
notice
pursuant
to
the
state
in
the
new
state
statute,
as
opposed
to
the
the
city
ordinance
and
in
fact
I
think
that
new
ordinance
and
the
the
clerk
may
be
aware
of
it.
I
think
it.
E
It
actually
expands
the
time
frame
to
60
days
for
this
notice
of
the
mediation
process
instead
of
the
45.
I
think
that
we
had
in
our
ordinance,
so
it's
actually
more
protection
for
the
for
the
homeowner.
I
believe
in
in
that
respect,
and
if
it's
geared
to
owner-occupied
properties,
then
tenants
would
not
even
be
part
of
the
equation,
so
I
you
know
it
doesn't
really
matter
what
we
do
here,
because
our
law
is
not
has
no
one's
going
to
comply
with
our
ordinance.
In
terms
of
doing
conveyancing
of
real
estate.
V
Thank
you,
mr.
Mr
president,
while
I
was
the
person
who
introduced
that
audience
and
got
it
passed
and
it
took
a
lot
of
work
working
with
many
council
members
at
the
time,
administration,
housing
and
a
group
of
homeowners,
maybe
maybe
part
of
it
where
the
state
supersedes
it.
But
what
about
the
people
where
our
ordinance
protects
as
far
as
the
renters
there's
no
protection
under
the
state
statute
for
renters?
V
So
you
know
again,
I
don't
want
to
get
into
the
merits
of
the
ordinance
here.
I
just
want
to
kind
of
keep
it
to
the
resolution
itself,
but
I
think
that
it
was
not
introduced
properly
and
I
agree
with
you-
I'm
not
an
attorney,
but
I
know
that
if
there's
a
law
there,
I'm
sure
there's
nothing,
we
can
do
about
it.
But
to
rush
this,
like
councilman
stykos
has
stated,
and
my
other
colleagues
are
state-
I
mean
if
we
want
to
really
hear
this
resolution
and
by
the
way
resolution
is
not
binding
anyways.
V
G
E
E
E
X
G
C
D
S
For
many
reasons,
I
spelled
out
during
the
the
subcommittee
meeting
on
this
just
to
expound
upon
a
couple
of
comments
that
were
made
it
would.
It
would
be
a
danger
to
consider
other
proposals
for
this
parcel
of
land,
as
stated
before,
it's
already
zoned
c3.
Any
commercial
entity
could
be
built
on
that
portion
of
or
that
half
portion
of
land
from
midway
to
halfway
between
you
know
where
the
gymnasium
is.
It
could
be
anything
it
could
be
a
walgreens.
It
could
be
a
cvs,
it
could
be
a
brood
awakenings.
S
It
could
be
any
type
of
commercial
entity
as
long
as
it's
not
a
drive-through.
That
would
introduce
a
lot
more
traffic
than
I
think.
A
52
unit
apartment
building
would
do
there's
already
an
existing
building
where
the
school
used
to
be
where
I
believe
it
was
20
units
going
in
and
another
32
units
are
going
in.
That
portion.
That's
going
to
be
set
down
below
grade
and
again
something
was
made.
Comment
was
made
that
the
the
neighbors
have
finals
should
have
final
say
in
what
goes
in
that
area.
S
S
S
There
are
a
lot
more
elements
in
that
and
I
don't
think
that
school
argument
works
for
this
piece
of
land,
considering
the
mix
of
apartments
that
are
going
in
it's
almost
half
and
half
one
and
two
bedroom
apartments,
where
the
other
one
was
majority
of
two
and
even
two
bedrooms
with
an
office
that
could
be
used
as
a
third
bedroom.
So
there
was
that
danger
of
a
lot
of
students
being
in
that
other
complex,
where
this
one,
I
don't
see
that
happening
so
and
again,
you're
promoting
walking
through
the
city,
use
of
garden
city.
S
It's
a
green
project
and
I
think
it's
going
to
believe
it
or
not.
I
think
it'll
add
to
the
area
versus
what's
there
now,
which
is
a
vacant
building
with
weeds
growing
out
of
the
cracks
in
the
pavement
and
that
sort
of
thing.
So
again
I
will
be
going
to
approve
this
ordinance
and
I
I
hope
it
goes
well.
Thank.

Jordan,

Our
intention
is
that
the
32
or
34
garage
spaces
will
be
specifically
assigned
to
the
tenants
within
the
new
construction
building.
Then
we
have
the
surface
parking
lots
which
are
sort
of
scattered
about.
We've
done
a
lot
of
study
on
apartment
buildings
and
generally,
what
happens?
Is
you
have
about
1.5
to
1.6
parking
spaces
needed
for
a
complex
with
a
unit
mix
of
this
type?
So
there
won't
be
one.
There
won't
be
two
cars
for
every
unit.
Z
There
will
be
some
some
tenants
that
have
two
cars:
some
tenants
will
have
one
car,
so
we
will
we'll
most
likely
be
assigning
just
the
34
garage
spaces
which
will
pay
a
rental
fee
for
them.
So
we
can
kind
of
meter
that
component
of
it,
the
balance
of
them,
will
be
we've
scattered
them
to
be
where
we
think
they're
appropriately
sighted,
with
the
entrances
of
the
building,
where
they're
needed.
Z
Every
tenant
who
signs
up
for
an
application
will
submit
details
on
what
their
cars
are
license.
Plate
numbers
so
we'll
know
exactly
how
many
cars
we
have
available.
We
can.
We
can
meter
that
through
parking
permits,
if
we
had
any
issue,
we
don't
see
it
as
an
issue.
Our
traffic
study
looked
at
the
garden
city
apartments,
the
garden
city
apartments
have
94
apartments
in
there
they
have
less
than
one
space
per
unit.
Z
W
Z
Z
We
measure
it
from
the
middle
so
measuring
from
the
middle
up
to
the
fascia
board
of
the
roof
like
the
right
before
the
roof
starts
to
pitch
it's
about
36
feet
and
that's
three
levels
of
living
plus
a
little
bit
of
you
know,
steps
to
get
up
to
the
front
door
of
the
building.
If
you
measure
it
all
the
way
to
the
very
very
peak
of
the
roof,
it's
47
feet
again.
The
zoning
is
set
up
to
encourage
that.
So
it's
sort
of
a
we're
not
fully
requesting
that
waiver.
Z
Z
The
zoning
has
a
kind
of
complicated
formula,
the
way
that
they
describe
the
encouragement
of
pitched
roofs,
so
35
feet
is
the
base
level
allowed
anywhere
in
the
city
for
zoning
in
multi-family
buildings,
depending
on
on
the
size
of
the
building.
You're
allowed
different
heights
above
35
feet,
depending
on
what
the
proposed
pitch
of
the
roof
is.
W
X
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
did
have
a
question
but
councilman
styko
scott,
so
thank
you,
councilman
staycos,
in
looking
at
the
project.
You
know
I
wish
it
worked
like
some
of
the
residents
said
and
we
could
put
forward
different
projects
that
we
could
look
at
and
try
to
vote
on.
But
unfortunately
this
is
the
project
that's
before
us.
So
the
project
that's
currently
before
us
is
for
a
52
unit
apartment
complex
in
an
area.
That's
owned,
c3
commercial.
X
C
C
I
know
firsthand
that
that
father
vertilati
had
a
difficult
decision
to
wrestle
with
all
the
the
office
that
he
received.
This
wasn't
the
only
offer
there
were
several,
and
this
is
the
one
he
shows
because
he
thought
it
was
the
best
for
the
community
at
watch
because
he
was
concerned
about
the
neighbors.
C
Also,
if
this
project
is
voted
down
tonight,
what
does
the
future
have
installed?
Okay,
it
may
be
something
that
is
is
not
so
palatable.
Okay,
we
know
what
we're
getting
here.
I
think
the
owners
worked
well,
there
were
several
meetings
that
they
had
at
the
school.
This
project
came
before
the
ordinance
committee.
It
was
discussed.
C
C
D
Y
Yeah,
I
just
wanted
to
commend
the
community
on
coming
out
and
force
for
this
and
say
that
I
think
that
it
shows
a
strong
community
presence
and
something
that
the
church
has
taken
into
account
and-
and
I
think
they're
really
trying
to
do
the
best
thing.
It's
taken
them
since
2009
to
pick
a
project
for
that
location,
and
I
think
it's
probably
a
struggle
for
the
church
to
remain
have
that
property
remain
vacant.
So
considering
the
other
options,
I
think
this
is
a
good,
a
good
project.
Thank
you.
E
I
think
I
will
introduce
an
ordinance
to
create
that
one-way,
one-way
street
on
part
of
poplar
drive.
I
think
that
that's
an
issue
that
really
needs
to
be
addressed.
The
other
thing
I've
asked
the
administration,
and
I
know
I
mentioned
it
at
the
committee-
and
I
know,
there's
quite
a
bit
of
support.
I
think
we
should
do
some
landscaping
to
to
create
a
better
buffer
on
the
island.
E
I
think
that
this
would
be
a
great
spot
for
for
something
like
that.
It
would
help
to
create
a
little
buffer
that
they're
they're
all
looking
for,
and
I
think
that
that's
something
that
where
I
intend
to
do
regardless
of
what
happens
on
the
vote.
With
regard
to
the
actual
project,
I
understand
the
concerns
of
my
constituents
and
the
neighbors
house.
E
I
think
they've
certainly
been
faced
with
the
decision
of
looking
at
cvs
or
other
retail
outlets
and
and
I've
asked
council
vice
president
farina
because
of
his
employment
with
cvs
about
the
traffic
counts,
and
they
can
be
substantial.
That
2500
a
day
is,
is
a
conservative
estimate
according
to
his
statistics,
on
on
what
cvs
does
so,
I
really,
I
really
am
fearful
of
2500
or
more
cars
a
day
coming
in
for
five
minute
intervals,
as
opposed
to
people
who
might
park
their
car
and
and
stay
home
for
eight
hours.
E
I
think
that
the
ingress
and
egress
issue,
I
think
the
developers
spent
a
lot
of
time
on
the
curb
cut
and
changing
actually
the
dangerous
curb
cut
that
presently
exists.
I
walked
the
property
with
mr
murray
to
see
how
that
access
was
going
to
be.
I
I'm
not
sure
of
the
how
they're
going
to
handle
the
access
on
the
other
side
if
there
is
in
fact
any
ingress
from
the
poplar
side.
P
Two
means
of
egress
to
this
project
will
be
on
midway
for
the
32
unit
building
and
pop
the
drive
for
the
20
unit.
Building
as
part
of
the
neighborhood
meeting
input
we
received.
Initially,
all
the
traffic
for
50
units
was
going
to
be
able
to
go
out
through
poplar
drive
and
the
developer.
Listening
to
neighbors,
we
eliminated
the
new
building
having
access
out
to
poplar
drive.
P
E
I
mean
I'm
a
little
bit
jaded
in
the
sense
that
in
my
area
we
have
a
lot
of
apartments
and
they're
rented.
There
are
a
lot
of
older
people
that
stay
in
the
neighborhood
after
they
downsize
and
sell
their
homes,
and
I
probably
have
a
thousand
units
right
around
the
corner.
For
me
I
mean
it's
literally
many
buildings
worth
of
condos
and
apartments
and
we
really
have
no
traffic
problems
whatsoever.
So
I
really
doubt
that
52
units
in
this
section
will
will
create
more
traffic,
especially
than
a
cvs.
X
He's
trying
to
make
a
statement
that
not
all
cvs's
are
bad.
They
do
still
pay
me
so
and
additionally,
I
just
wanted
a
councilman
of
ecuador
to
tell
me
about
the
one-way
street
and
the
potential
for
putting
trees
in
as
a
buffer
zone,
and
I
think
it's
a
council
will
support
those
get
some
traffic
studies
then,
and
try
to
get
that
done
to
support
the
neighbors.

When
this
ordinance
was
introduced
to
the
ordinance
committee
on
912.
It
originally
was
asking
for
the
location
of
the
crosswalk
to
be
at
gans
in
berkeley
and
at
the
ordinance
committee
meeting
it
was
amended
to
gans
in
appleton.
Now
it
certainly
doesn't
sound
like
a
big
change,
but
when
we're
putting
a
crosswalk
mid
block
in
a
busy
intersection
or
a
busy
road
like
jansen,
there's
a
lot
of
things.

Well,
the
feed
part
is
certainly
more
administrative
in
nature.
This
portion
was
to
draw
us
into
compliance
with
existing
state
law.
Interestingly
enough,
although
it
was
a
requirement
in
the
case
that
pat
and
I
tried
when
we
researched
this,
we
found
that
no
other
city
had
in
fact
submitted
these
to
rhode
island.
AC
So
this
this
council
has
the
the
good
fortune
of
being
the
first,
but
it
is
a
state
law,
and
this
is
the
really
the
only
way
by
which
a
safety
service
committee
or
the
city
council
can
regulate
public
entertainment
and
really
what
it
is.
It's
a
protection
on
the
applicants
so
that
they're
judged
by
the
same
standards.
D
D
A
Y
AC
That's
correct
and
what
I
would
suggest
is,
although
I
understand
this
council's
concern
about
small
business
and
believe
me,
my
my
concern.
Is
there
as
well?
I
think
you
have
to
balance
that
concern
with
the
safety
services
ability
to
regulate
what
goes
on
in
neighborhoods
and
the
different
concerns
that
we
have
all
heard
sitting
here
about
the
inability
that
you
would
have
to
restrict
any
entertainment
at
any
venue.
Under
a
hundred
in
the
city.
V
Yeah
just
to
expand
a
little
bit
on
councilman
lee's
point.
I
think
some
of
us
are
very
sensitive
to
the
fact
that
probably
99.9
percent
of
the
establishments
were
operating
operating
within
the
law
are
following
the
rules
that
point
one
tenth
wounded
for
everybody.
However,
I
think
we're
also
sensitive
that
that,
for
the
small
person
who
might
have
it
on
occasion,
you
know
I
mean
we're
not
doing
this
to
charge
them
another
hundred
dollar
fee,
or
anything
like
that.
I
mean
when
it
comes
time
to
discuss
what
the
fee
structure
is.
V
I
think
we're
all
gonna
be
very
accommodating
and
we
can
tear
it.
There
could
be
a
tiered
system
and
I
think,
that's
you
know
perfectly
legal
to
do
or
whatnot,
but
we're
especially
sensitive
to
the
smaller
places
and
the
smaller
owners,
because
we
definitely
didn't
want
to
put
that
restriction
on
it.
So.
V
We
were
told
by
dvr,
and
I
think
that
something
unique
is,
as
the
solicitors
were,
trying
to
come
coming
up
with
the
ordinance
they
had
to
search
far
and
wide,
but
I
mean
the
fact
that
I
I
spoke
to
some
people
in
providence
on
the
liquor
board
there.
They
they
think
this
is
the
greatest
thing
since
sliced
bread,
mere
fact
that
we're
actually
regulating
everybody
under
one
umbrella
is
just
something
that
I
think
they're
probably
going
to
copycat
something
in
a
few
months
themselves.
But
we
didn't
want
to
do
this.
V
S
Box,
thank
you,
council,
president.
I'll,
be
brief.
Just
my
main
concern
is
with
the
small
businesses
I
mean
we
charge
them,
license
fees
for
pool
or
a
pool
table
if
they
want
to
have
a
pool
table.
If
we,
if
they
want
to
have
one
of
those
little
video
game
machines
on
the
bar,
we
charge
them
a
license
fee
for
one
of
those,
and
my
concern
is
this-
is
just
one
more
burden
on
these
small
businesses.
S
You
know
they
have
to
come
before
us
now
apply
for
that
license
again,
whatever
minimal
fee,
we
decide,
but
you
know
a
thousand
paper
cuts,
but
you
know
death
by
a
thousand
paper
cuts.
These
small
businesses
suffer
and
that's
my
main
concern,
but
if
you're
saying
that
now,
if
we
don't
pass
this
ordinance
that
anyone
above
the
100
is
beyond
our
control,
then
obviously
we're
between
a
rock
and
a
hard
place.
I
mean.
AC
I
I
don't
have
an
interest
in
what
you
decide
to
set
up
as
a
fee.
I
don't
have.
It
doesn't
diminish
the
efficacy
of
this
ordinance
if
you
were
to
set
the
fee
at
zero,
if
you
were
to
make
it
free
that
wouldn't
offend
me
in
the
least
but
the
ability
to
regulate
and
the
ability
to
monitor
the
neighborhoods
for
what's
good
for
the
people
that
live
there.
I
know
this
council
is
always
taken
seriously
and
that's
really
what
drives
a
lot
of
the
traffic
in
this
chamber
is
neighborhood
type
of
concerns
right.
Thank
you.
D
V
Just
one
final
quick
comment:
I
didn't
notice
anybody
in
the
public
section
voting
talking
for
or
against
us,
and
I
know
we
were
accused
of
doing
this
in
the
back
room
deal
or
whatnot.
So
I
think
that
the
fact
that
it
took
20
minutes
maybe
to
discuss
this
ordinance
again
in
public
so
that
everything
was
up
front.
I
think
that
needs
to
go
on
the
record,
especially
in
light
of
what
the
the
gentleman
who's
representing
a
certain
client
was
saying
about
this
ordinance.
So
any.

Thank

Council
president
members
of
the
council,
I'd
like
to
address
the
command
staff
officer
of
distinction
on
the
eve
of
his
retirement.
Major
john
shaffron
served
consider
the
city
with
honor
and
distinction
for
over
27
years,
he's
among
the
highest
decorated
members
of
the
command
staff
and
in
the
history
of
the
agency,
numerous
felony
arrests.
AD
A
Congratulations!
This
entire
city
council
wishes
you
the
very
best
in
your
retirement.
You've
done
an
outstanding
job
of
your
27
years.
I
think
everybody
in
this
council
is
well
aware
of
your
record
and
what
a
great
officer
you
were
or
are,
and
what
a
great
person
you
are.
Thank
you
for
for
the
city
of
cranston
offers
you
his
very
best
in
your
retirement.
D
Councilman,
san
maria
may,
I
just
say
a
quick
thing:
who's
going
to
do
safety
services
now
for
me,
thank
you
for
thank
you
for
all
the
times
that
you
answered
my
phone
calls
on
a
saturday
or
sunday
you're,
always
there
when
I
needed
you
when
the
city
needed
you,
so
thank
you
for
being
there
and
enjoy
your
retirement.
I
promise
I'll
take
your
cell
phone
number
off.
AE
V

A
A
A
AE
Thank
you,
council,
president,
for
the
record.
I
would
like
to
inform
the
council
that
the
mayor
on
the
day
after
the
the
situation
that
dean
estates
happened,
convened
various
agencies,
social
service
agencies
such
as
c-cap
the
red
cross,
and
we
even
provided
some
legal
services
for
the
residents
through
rhode
island
legal
services
to
try
to
help
them
with
some
of
the
situations
that
are
there
and
some
of
the
ones
that
you
described.
AE
Some
people
had
just
moved
in
and
they
wanted
the
deposit
back
all
things
that
these
people
need
help
with,
but
really
the
city
should
not
and
cannot
get
involved
in.
But
at
least
we've
pointed
them
in
the
right
direction
to
the
agencies
that
exist
to
try
to
help
them
and
if
there's
any
other
people
who
are
still
out
there,
who
need
some
assistance
or
need
to
be
connected
with
a
service.
AE
A
C
Thank
you,
council
president,
just
to
extend
what
you
know
your
comments.
Council
president
as
you.
Well,
we
were
out
that
day
we
we
had
a
dinner,
but
I'd
like
to
commend
the
cranston
fire
department,
the
cranston
emts
and
other
city
workers
that
respond
to
oklahoma
avenue
and,
as
I
said,
I
was
out
that
afternoon.
So
I
ended
up
driving
by
oakland.
Avenue
was
very
difficult
to
get
through,
but
most
of
all
I'd
like
to
commend
the
mayor.
C
X
I
believe
I
have
one
council,
president
councilman.
I
know
I
wanted
to
thank
the
administration
for
taking
care
of
the
problem
and
meatball
mike's
that
didn't
need
to
go
on
this.
I
also
wanted
to
thank
the
administration.
I
called
director
lopez
last
night
regarding
the
issue
with
contaminated
water
in
the
city,
and
he
got
back
to
me
within
five
minutes,
so
I
could
tell
constituents
that
we
were
okay
in
cranston
that
the
news
reports
were
egregiously
overstated
about
as
to
the
issue
of
the
contaminated
water.
X
So
thank
you
and
I
did
have
one
follow-up
that
I
would
have
emailed
you.
I
don't
like
to
blow
up
your
spot
tonight
at
the
council
meeting,
but
on
a
street
a
constituent
called
me:
there's
a
no
through
trucking
sign,
that's
blocked
by
trees
and
trucks
have
been
going
up
and
down
a
street,
and
there
was
an
issue
where
a
little
girl
was
almost
hit
the
other
day.
AE
X
Y
I
wanted
to
just
bring
up
the
idea
that
I've
been
researching
is
to
having
a
dog
park
in
the
city
of
cranston,
and
they
have
dog
parks
and
other
cities.
And
when
I
talk
to
people,
the
number
one
question
is
where
so.
I
wanted
to
just
make
sure
I
reached
out
to
everyone
and
and
take
any
suggestions
of
places,
and
so
we
can
find
the
best
possible
place
if
that
seems
like
something
that
is
doable
and.
Y
I
guess
I
feel
like
with
the
right
place.
It
could
be
a
win-win
for
both
the
dog
lovers
and
and
even
the
dog
haters,
as
some
of
the
nuisance
animals
with
enough
exercise
can
become
a
quieter
and
and
with
a
common
place
with
proper
receptacles,
you
might
have
less
mess
on
the
sidewalks
and
and
also
the
the
service
that
facility
like
that,
would
create
or
provide
to
the
community
it.
Y
Y
Y
Do
you
want
me
to
finish
my?
I
just
saw
my
concern.
Other
people
had
questions,
it
seemed
or
just
the
other
documented
item
I
have
on
communications.
Do
you
want
me
to
go
through
that?
The
briton
avenue
okay
I'll
finish,
that
it
was
brought
to
my
attention
that
the
right
of
her
first
refusal
that
clcf
has
on
the
brayton
avenue
field
was
was
a
problem
for
them.
They,
I
think
joe
ruggieri.
C
Y
Called
me
and
said
that
they
had
requested
use
of
the
field
and
were
denied
and
then
when
he
went
by,
he
saw
that
the
field
was
not
being
used
and
so
that
I
thought
that
was
something
that
was
of
concern.
So
I
wanted
to
be
sure
that
that
was
not
happening
regularly
and
see
if
that
the
management
of
the
field
was
was
done
properly.

Y
D
Councilman,
maria
tony,
when
we
did
this
one
in
the
cranston
western,
the
same
ordinance,
wasn't
there
a
concern
about
out
of
city
concern
concerns
playing
on
the
fields,
that's
correct,
so
step.
One
was
really
to
to
make
sure
that
crafts
and
resumes
got
to
use
the
field
right.
So
we
get
the
equation
out
providence
and
westport.
Whoever
was
using
our
field,
that's
correct!
Okay,
so,
and
I
know
how,
because
my
dad's
been
in
a
little
league
since
I
can
remember
so.
I.

AF
Good
evening
my
name
is
christopher
gentilly
and
my
address
is
51
eaton
crest
drive
in
cranston,
unfortunately,
for
mr
libatore
we
had
numbers
that
were
probably
superseded
the
fields
we
needed
this
year,
which
we
had
a
discussion
on
before
there
were
times
we
had
a
number.
You
know
three
teams
show
up
at
one
field
for
the
same
practice
off-site.
AF
But
one
of
my
retort
to
that
obviously
was
that
if
it
was
safe
for
if
it
wasn't
safe
for
a
game,
how
on
earth
could
it
be
safe
for
a
practice
when
the
same
same
items
occur?
We
are
not
looking
to
take
over
clcs
fields.
I
questioned-
and
I
wasn't
here
and
shame
on
me
when
this
resolution
was
passed
by
any
special
interest
group-
would
would
get
rights
to
a
public,
a
city's
public
field,
at
least
in
writing
when
no
one
else
seems
to
get
that.
AF
But
that
being
said,
our
biggest
question
is,
and
our
biggest
problem
is
satisfying
the
need
for
fields.
You
know
that
we've
had
a
lot
of
girls.
All
we're
looking
for
is
safe
fields
that
can
satisfy
all
of
our
needs,
but
our
needs,
unfortunately,
were
not
met
this
past
spring.
If
that
requires
better
communication.
AF
AF
I
think
it
was
done
informally,
as
we
were
not
aware
of
how
the
process
worked
through
the
resolution
was
passed.
We
don't
know
exactly
how
to
go
about
it.
We
were
also
under
the
understanding
that
we
were
supposed
to
go
see
the
current
president
at
the
time
of
clcf
mike
english,
and
we
had
that.
We
have
copies
of
letter
sent
to
mike
english,
which
would
which
would
turn
down
and
deny.
We
didn't
go
to
you,
mr
limiter.
We
thought
that
the
process
was
to
go
to
to
mr
english.
AF
Not
well,
we
can
get
into
that
as
well,
because
that
is
an
extended
part
of
that
process.
One
of
those
fields
was
florida
avenue,
and
one
of
those
fields
was
was
tape.
Okay,
where
would
you
like
me?
I
don't
know
where
you'd
like
me
to
direct
it.
We
feel
that
we
need,
and
it's
kind
of
been
borne
out-
that
we
need
more
than
the
fields
we
have.
That's
all
how.

I'm
sorry
paul
pogba
said
I
live
about
100
stone,
drive
in
cranston,
I'm
sorry,
paul,
bessette,
cranston
or
island.
I
live
at
100,
stone,
drive
and
I'm
one
of
the
members
of
big
league.
I'm
sorry.
I
am
one
of
the
members
that
did
leave
clcf
for
one
reason
or
another,
and
we
did
go
to
cnb
we're
not
here
to
fight
over
how
many
fields
we
need
all
the
the
status
of
the
field.
AG
What
we're
trying
to
do
is
get
one
league
within
the
city
of
cranston.
We
are
one
of
the
only
cities
in
the
state
of
rhode
island
that
does
not
have
one
dedicated
fast
pitch
league
in
the
city
in
the
state
of
rhode
island.
I
coached
the
cranston
east
varsity,
girls,
softball
team,
and
we
do
not
have
a
dedicated
fast
pitch
league
for
the
city
of
cranston.
AG
AG
We
expect
over
200
girls
next
year
with
the
product
that
we
put
on
the
field
and
showed
what
these
girls
in
the
city
of
cranston
can
expect
by
the
coaching
we
have.
I
was
at
that
meeting
with
mr
libertori
a
couple
weeks
ago.
We
are
satisfied
with
the
four
fields
we
have,
but
we
are
asking
if
the
fields
are
not
being
used
by
clcf.
AG
X
As
a
follow-up
based
on
the
statement,
the
previous
gentleman
made
and
we're
not
here
to
debate
the
politics
of
clcf
and
cnb,
exactly
to
be
honest,
I
don't
really
care
all.
I
care
is
that
the
kids
in
the
city
have
baseball
fields
and
softball
fields
the
plan,
so
it
doesn't
sound
like
an
official
request
was
made
last
year.
It
was
more
of
a
there.
AG
AG
X
AG
We
understand
that
and
that's
the
process.
We
we
took
a
step
back
when
we
found
out
that
resolution
came
out.
We
took
a
step
back
and
just
let
it
go
until
the
season
ended.
We
approached
mr
libitori
and
had
a
meeting,
and
we
told
him
about
the
resolution
and
if
the
fields
were
available
for
us
to
use
when
clcf
is
doesn't
use
it
can
we
use
it.
That
was
it.
That
was
the
crux
of
the
meeting.
X
And
I
will
say
as
a
follow-up,
when
we
passed
that
we
told
clcf
that
if
there
was
an
issue-
and
there
were
official
requests
that
were
going
through
to
direct
oblitery
that
were
being
denied
and
clcf
wasn't
using
the
field,
we
would
revoke
their
right
of
first
refusal.
So
we
can't
really
do
anything
until
we
know
that
you've
gone
through
direct
liberatory
and
said
you
know,
we
want
the
field
on
september
5th
and
you
drive
by
september
5th.
You
take
a
picture
and
you
say:
listen.
X
W
Hey,
I
just
have
a
statement.
I
don't
have
a
question,
but
I
just
like
to
say
I
voted
against
the
right
of
first
refusal
and
I'll
vote
against
anybody's
right
of
first
refusal.
Any
league
for
the
precisely
the
reason
that
was
stated
is
that
I
think
that
the
recreation
director
does
a
really
good
job
and
that's
where
the
power
should
be,
and
we
shouldn't
be
entering
into
legal
agreements,
deeding
rights
to
parks
that
are
city
property.
Just
for
the
reasons,
some
of
the
reasons
that
we've
seen
here
leaks
change
interests
in
sports
change.
W
Sometimes
you
know
when
I
was
a
kid:
nobody
played
soccer
right,
everybody
played
baseball
well,
now
more
people
play
soccer
and
these
things
change,
and
so
to
enter
into
a
long-term
agreement
with
anybody
for
a
public
facility
that
really
needs
to
be
regulated
by
the
recreation
director.
So
I
I
don't.
A
V
I
would
say
something
else,
but
I
will
just
for
the
record
again.
I
I
have
to
agree
with
council
councilman
farina
here
and
I
do
agree
with
councilman
stykos.
A
resolution
is
a
non-binding
document.
I
mean
the
recreation
director.
Is
there
24
7
sometimes,
and
he
gets
the
phone
calls
24
7.
I
mean.
Obviously,
if
it's
a
viable
league
and
it's
operating
in
the
city
and
you
need
more
space,
then
you
got
to
go
to
proper
channels.
I
don't
think
this
council
is
denying
anybody
playing.
V
As
a
matter
of
fact,
I
used
to
have
a
couple
younger
kids
who
were
pretty
good
athletes
and
played
for
csf
clcf
once
and
they
got
a
little
bit
better
and
they
played
for
other
teams
and-
and
we
followed
the
procedure
from
being
out
of
the
city.
You
know
to
have
two
or
three
crazy
kids
and
follow
protocol
to
rent
a
field
or
do
things
with
a
field.
So
I
mean,
I
think
the
protocol
is
there.
V
If
you
need
the
fields,
I
think
you
worked
with
a
boxing
recreation
director
because
he's
there
every
day
we're
not
and
see
what
you
need.
I
mean
I
think,
he'll
accommodate
you,
he's
very
accommodating
and
he's
done
a
great
job
with
it.
So
you
know
this
resolution
resolution
thing.
It's
non-binding,
it's
just
the
will.
V
Although
I
agree
with
mr
libertore
that
you
can't
have
total
chaos
where
you
know
you
can't
have
a
little
league
from
one
side
of
the
field
take
over
another
field,
I
mean,
I
think,
for
control
purposes,
there's
a
lot
of
sense
to
where
he
managed
to
manage
some
of
the
leagues.
You
know
so,
but
I
mean
we
hear
you,
you
need
extra
fields.
You
know
mr
libertore
is
here
he
hears
you.
V
D
My
last
word
on
it:
why
did
you
come
to
the
council,
I'm
just
kind
of
thinking?
This
is
the
kind
of
thing
that
could
be
settled
over
breakfast.
You
know
what
I
mean
or
a
glass
of
beer.
I
I
I
why,
before
the
council,
I
mean
we're
glad
that
you're
here
come
more
often,
but
I
think
this:
how
can
we,
how?
How
are
we
going.
AG
I
think
there's
some
underlying
issues
of
why
that
resolution
was
made
and
it
was-
and
it
was
it's
more
of
the
reason
we're
here
is
to
just
open
some
eyes
on.
You
know:
girl,
softball
in
the
city
of
cranston,
so
everybody's
aware
of
how
much
it's
growing
and
how
much
you
know
that
the
fields
need
to
be
utilized
the
right
way,
and
we
understand
the
resolution-
is
nine.
Nine
binding,
like
councilman
aceto,
said,
and
I
concur
with
the
council.
Vice
president,
this
isn't
an
issue
between
cnb
and
clcf
in
anybody
else
or
apoc
direct.
AG
This
is
parents
found
out
about
this
resolution
asked
the
chairman
of
clcf
to
use
the
fields
they
were
denied,
and
then
they
find
out
that
cities
and
towns
from
outside
of
cranston
use
the
fields.
That's
the
only
reason
we're
here
is
just
to
open
up
some
eyes
to
say
you
guys
had
the
resolution
was
passed
and
parents
from
our
league
were
denied
use
of
the
field
in
cities
and
towns
from
outside
the
fields.
This
city,
we
used,
use
the
fields.
AG
I
understand,
but
that
was
prior
to
that
resolution
coming
out
that
we
had
asked,
and
then
we
found
out
about
the
resolution.
That's
when
we
took
a
step
back
and
we
never
asked
again
until
the
end
of
the
year
and
then
we
we
found
out
that
cities
and
towns
from
outside
the
city
of
cranston
used
the
fields
and
that's
why
we're
here
just
to
make
the
council
aware
that
cities
and
towns
from
outside
the
city
use
the
fields
and
we
were
denied
prior
to
the
resolution.
That's
all.
S
I
was
thinking
about
whether
I
should
comment
or
not,
but
as
a
former
president
of
cnb,
I
kind
of
know
the
ins
and
outs
of
what
happens
and
everything's
political,
whether
it's
within
the
league,
whether
it's
between
two
leagues,
whatever
there's,
always
been
an
unspoken
rule
within
cranston
that
other
leagues
cannot
use
the
other
league's
fields.
I
mean
I
can't
imagine
the
boys
little
league
from
cnb
going
over
to
edgewood
or
going
over
to
american
and
getting
practice
time
on
their
fields.
It
just
doesn't
happen
now
if
you
set
up
interleague
between
the
two.
S
G
S
You're
saying
it's
parents
that
went
over
there
to
use
the
fields,
that's
telling
me
it's
not
the
coaches,
doing
that.
That
means
it's
travel
teams
that
are
going
over
there
and
I
can
see
where
clcf
would
have
a
problem
with
that.
Now,
if
you
go
through
the
permitting
process
like
these
out
of
town
teams,
probably
are
doing
and
they
go
to
parks
and
wrecks
and
pull
their
permits,
then
they
are
well
within
their
rights
to
go
there
and
play
on
those
fields.
S
Obviously,
if
clcf
has
an
event
a
practice,
a
game
whatever
scheduled
there,
they
have
that
right
or
first
refusal.
So
again,
I
think,
echoing
what
everyone
else
is
saying
is
that,
if
the
follow,
if
the
protocol
is
followed
and
directed,
liberatory
seem
to
go
to
the
clcf
first
and
say
I
do
you
have
you
know
anything
scheduled
on
this
particular
day
at
this
particular
time,
community
issue
a
permit
for
the
field,
I'm
sure
it'll
go
fine,
but
to
me
it
you're
introducing
anarchy
chaos
whatever
you
want
to
call
it.
S
When
you
start
crossing
into
different
league
fields,
I
I
would
never
think
of
going
when
president
is
going
over
to
cranston,
westfield
and
and
trying
to
use
their
main
field
for
practice
time.
It
just
doesn't
happen,
and
I
understand
that
tate
and
cooney
aren't
the
best
fields.
I
understand
that
they're
suitable
for
practice,
whether
I
want
to
play
a
game
there
or
not-
I'm
not
sure
especially
other
games
going
on,
but
you
know
what
to
go
over
there
and
practice.
S
There's
no
problem
with
that
and
again
when
I
was
in
the
league,
we
I
forget
if
it
was
western
hills
or
cranston
west,
but
there
was
a
softball
field
over
there
that
we
used
as
well.
That
was
perfectly
suitable
for
practices
and
actually
that
feel
wasn't
bad
if
we
had
to
schedule
the
game
over
there.
So
again,
four
fields
seems
to
be
plenty
if
you
have
to
play
on
grass
a
particular
day
to
get
practice
time
in
there's
nothing
wrong
with
that
either.
S
AG
A
X
Believe
me
all
of
us
on
the
council,
want
you
to
use
them,
and
even
if
that
resolution
was
not
in
place
and
we
tore
it
up
today,
you'd
have
the
same
problem
you're
having
today,
because
the
protocol
wasn't
followed
and
I
think
if
we
just
open
lines
of
communication,
as
councilman
said,
we
can
get
this
off
understood.
Yeah,
councilman,
stykos,.
Z
W
W
Z
D
W
AB
AB
AB
I
have
all
the
evidence
of
how
they
abused
it
and
how
much
money
should
have
been
coming
to
this
department
of
parks
and
recreation
and
never
a
dying
came
because
we
weren't
even
told
about
the
tournaments
that
were
from
epinaut
pawtucket,
but
I'm
forced
to
say
these
things,
because
people
behind
me
don't
understand
that.
I
know
what's
going
on
in
parts
of
recreation,
but
sometimes
I
can't
talk
about
it
when
they
force
me
to
talk
about
it.
AB
AB
E
Councilman
vecchio,
thank
you,
council,
president
I'll,
be
brief,
obviously,
there's
a
lot
of
conflict
between
the
leagues.
I
guess
some
things.
Never
change
been
a
long
time
since
I
coached,
but
maybe
maybe
for
direct
obligatory.
Maybe
you
should
just
have
a
playoff
game
between
the
leagues
and
they
can
determine
how
many
extra
days
they
get
to
practice.
D
D
L
A

AE
A
AE
Mr
lopez,
I
would
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
address
the
overnight
parking
concern
at
the
independence
park:
shopping
center
in
cranston,
rhode,
island.
We
have
signs
posted
around
the
lot
sea
attached,
which
I
have
pictures
of
and
perform
regular
random
patrols
in
the
parking
lots
in
an
effort
to
catch
any
trucks
that
are
violating
these
restrictions.
AE
AE
Please
remember
that
one
of
the
tenants
is
walmart
and
they
receive
many
deliveries
a
day,
it's
very
possible
that
their
drivers
need
a
place
to
park
at
the
end
of
the
delivery
to
catch
up
on
their
log
book
paperwork
or
just
take
a
quick
break
before
they
hit
the
road.
Again,
please
remember
that
we
do
not
like
the
trucks
in
our
lots,
because
the
parking
lots
are
not
designed
to
carry
their
weight.
We
will
make
an
effort
to
curb
any
overnight
parking
that
occurs,
but
we
will
not
catch
all
the
people
that
park
there.
AE
AE
I
will
not
give
out
the
information
of
our
local
date
porter.
However,
if
there
is
a
problem
at
the
center,
you
can
contact
kellen
david
and
his
emails,
provided
here,
the
current
property
manager
or
myself,
brian
wildenhain
who's.
The
person
who
we
we've
been
dealing
with
as
our
contact
by
email
only
and
we'll
be
happy
to
listen
and
try
to
address
your
concerns.
AE
AE
D
Mr
lopez,
our
council
president,
could
just
add
three
addresses.
I
talked
to
kyle's
valenti
drive.
The
grass
again
needs
to
be
cut
on
that
foreclosure,
carlos
also
25,
vigilant
streets
of
the
foreclosure
and
the
old
garzillis
bakery,
which
always
seems
to
be
overgrown.
So
if
you
could
check
on
those
three,
if
you.
W
Yes,
looking
for
a
report
from
the
administration
on
the
status
of
the
park,
avenue
railroad
bridge
which
is
chronically
a
mess
and
the
one
of
the
sides,
one
of
the
sidewalks
on
one
side
is
not
is
boarded
off
so
that
a
pedestrian
walking
along
that
side
of
the
street
will
then
go
and
walk
into
the
onto
the
bridge
where
the
cars
are,
which
is
dangerous
and
I'd
just
like
to
know
what
who's
responsible
for
that
bridge.
What's
happening
with
it.

Thank
you
council
president,
in
following
up
on
your
earlier
comment
on
the
flooding,
I
had
a
call
from
a
constituent
in
garden
city.
They
might
have
been
here
tonight
on
the
other
issue
and
I
wasn't
really
too
concerned
about
it
until
they
sent
me
photographs
of
the
of
the
flooding-
and
I
maybe
we
could
put
this
on
the
flood
committee
agenda
just
to
to
review.
This
is
delwood
road
in
garden
city.
E
E
V
I
just
want
to
follow
up
on
the
flood,
mr
president,
who
who
actually
has
enforcement
on
some
of
those
violations
that,
like,
for
example,
the
bike
path
used
to
have
like
a
lot
of
culverts
and
little
streams
and
stuff
that
seem
to
be
all
blocked
off
now?
Would
that
be
the
flood
commission
that
looks
at
that?
Or
do
we
have
to
have
a
dem
or
somebody
do
an
inspection
and
stop
finding
people.
