Most
notably
is
the
increase
in
traffic
on
sacramento,
crossroad,
pontiac
avenue
and
route
37,
westbound
and
eastbound,
as
well
as
route
295
west
ramp.
At
that
intersection,
the
shell
station
and
brood
awakenings
are
on
opposite
sides
of
the
road
with
customers,
leaving
those
lots
and
trying
to
turn
left
across
all
lanes
of
traffic
in
creating
a
gridlock.
E

E
E

It
was
defeated
because
the
people
of
the
area
knew
what
was
going
on
right
now,
we're
in
the
middle
of
july.
Not
very
many
people
know.
What's
going
on
mr
coats
during
the
meeting
with
the
planning
board
said
that
he
didn't
necessarily
think
that
they
needed
the
home
improvement
center
in
there
and
if
it
doesn't
need
to
be
there,
I'd
like
to
see
it
removed,
as
the
young
lady
before
me
said,
there's
a
lot
of
traffic
in
the
area.
F
A
G
G
My
only
purpose
for
being
here
this
evening
is
to
let
you
know,
I
think
she
really
read
the
letter
she
read
was
very
succinct,
very
well
written
and
I
think
clearly
delineated
what
the
situation
is.
The
concerns
that
people
have,
even
though
I
know
I
and
I
spoke
with
the
folks
up
here
in
the
third
floor
and
a
few
other
folks.
I
realized
that
some
of
the
notifications,
you
know
for
so
many
feet
and
so
forth.
G
Obviously
people
concerned
about
what's
going
there,
but
especially,
I
think,
to
the
traffic,
and
I
don't
know
about
any
of
you,
but
I
travel
those
same
streets
every
day
and
it
is
getting
really
more
difficult
every
day,
just
to
do
normal
businesses
to
travel.
So
that
is
definitely
a
concern
as
well.
Thank
you.
So
much
council
president.
H
Valerie
27
farm
street
cranston,
rhode
island.
I
would
like
to
speak
on
behalf
of
this
proposal.
I
have
to
tell
you
I'm
thankful,
they're
still
here
after
thursday's
meeting.
I
was
appalled
at
what
I
heard
and
what
was
asked.
So
we
are
5th
50th
out
of
50
states
and
business
friendly.
Let
not
princeton
add
to
that
and
make
it
even
worse.
We
need
more
business.
H
H
That's
not
my
issue,
I'm
sure
you
guys
will
do
everything
you
have
to,
but
we
need
to
be
business
friendly
and
we
especially
need
to
be
business
friendly
here
in
princeton.
I
don't
know
how
to
tell
you
this
guys
this,
but
I'm
a
lunch.
Lady,
not
really
a
high
paying
job,
may
surprise
you.
My
husband
will
soon
be
retiring,
social
security,
not
a
high,
paying
place
which
may
surprise
you.
So
if
you're
not
going
to
be
business
friendly
and
increase
our
tax
rates
in
a
responsible
manner.
H
My
house
or
you're
going
to
increase
our
tax
base
in
this
responsible
manner
and
you're
going
to
be
busy
business
friendly.
Those
are
your
choices
and
please
please
choose
a
busy
business
friendly.
We
can't
afford
to
be
at
the
bottom
with
everybody
else
in
rhode,
island.
We
just
can't
we
we,
you
have
taxed
us
far
beyond
what
we
can
bear
and.
H
B
I
I
But
I'd
like
I
agree
with
she
said
this
will
be
done
in
a
relatively
good
manner,
with
3
800
jobs,
leaving
the
city
or
more
whatever.
There
are
so
many
people
there.
We
need
something
better.
We
need
something
there.
We
need
jobs
to
bring
into
the
state
and
in
this
city
I
mean
I'm
looking
at
this
thing
here,
where
you,
nickel
and
dime
with
people
for
cutting
their
grass
and
now
you
don't
want
to
bring
any
jobs
in
and
do
anything
well.
B
I
Pay
them
leave
an
empty
parking
lot.
We
just
got
to
stop
being
so
close-minded
in
this
city.
You
know
we
worry
about
the
little
tiny
things
and
we're
not
worried
about
the
important
things
which
is.
Maybe
you
know,
maybe
it
doesn't
have
to
be
a
six
foot
tall
building,
but
you
know
what
it
needs
to
do
something,
and
I
think
we
need
that.
We
just
can't
say:
oh,
we
can't
do
because
of
traffic,
because
you
know
what
we
did
the
traffic
studies.
I
saw
that
with
krispy
kreme.
You
know
what
it
never
happened.
I
A
J
J
I
think
the
two
people
must
have
painted
cranston
but
anyway
and
newport
celebrates
hope
day
every
year
and
they
sent
out
a
letter
to
everybody,
and
I
happen
to
be
on
the
chain
to
write
a
resolution
of
support
and
to
let
everybody
know
that
the
birth
of
our
nation
and
the
constitution,
as
it
is
amended,
really
happened
that
day
in
rhode
island
in
may.
So
that's
why
I
sponsored
the
resolution.
C
C
J
D
Just
throw
a
friendly
amendment
out
there
I
talked
with
my
colleagues
to
add
the
words
in
box
springs
at
the
mattresses
just
so,
if
someone
just
dumps
the
offspring,
they
can't
use
that
as
a
loophole
to
get
out
of
paying
the
fine.
So
I've
talked
to
my
colleagues.
No
one
seems
to
have
a
problem
with
it,
so
I
original
passage
of
that
amendment.
I'll.
A

K
K
Q
P
Q
K
B
R
It's
in
the
definition
section
of
chapter
17,
which
is
the
of
the
code
of
ordinances,
home
improvement
center,
means
a
facility
of
more
than
30
000
square
feet,
gfa
engaged
in
the
retail
sale
of
basic
hardware
lines
such
as
tools,
builders,
hardware,
painting,
glass,
housewares
and
home
appliances,
carbon
supplies
and
cutlery.
That's
directly
out
of
the
code,
definitions.
K
R
I
think
councilman,
if
you're,
yeah,
okay,
sorry
engaged,
I
think,
the
key
language
after
the
definition
of
how
many
square
feet,
the
key
language
is
engaged
in
the
retail
sale
of
various
hardware
lines
and
then
such
as
there
are
examples
following
it.
So
I
think
it's
a
hardware
store
or
something
that
sells
predominantly
hardware
by
definition,
and
it
just
gives
examples
of
the
types
of
things
so
over
30
000
feet,
specializing
selling,
hardware,
basic
various
hardware
lines.
K
R
I
mean,
I
think
every
every
grocery
store
has
a
part
of
an
aisle
that
sells
tools
or
you
know,
pliers
and
things.
But
I
think
if
you
read
the
definition
of
good
faith
for
its
plain
meaning,
I
think
it
does
mean
that
it's
predominantly
a
hardware
store
and
all
of
those
little
ex
are
just
examples.
They
have
following
words
such
as
so
I
think
it
means
a
large
hardware
store
over
30
000
square
feet
in
size.
Okay,
as
the
code
defined
it
at
some
point,.
K
S
S
And
so
our
only
concern
on
this
matter
is
is
our
concern
about
our
ability
to
lease
to
creighton
barrel,
even
though
they're
already
at
garden
city
or
their
direct
competitor
or
someone
has
lines
of
business.
That's
similar
to
that,
and
so
I
will
say
that
you
know
we're
not
putting
in
a
home
depot.
That's
that's
not
our
motive.
S
So
our
main
area
of
focus
of
development
is
to
eliminate
that
and
go
forward,
and
so
we
do
have
the
preliminary
site
plan
process,
major
land
development
process
and
final
site
plan
process
through
the
planning
board
which
the
neighbors
get
notified
on
the
councilman
gets
notified
on
and
that
we
will
work
through
with
you
on
the
process.
So
this
only
sets
the
zoning
allows
the
general
uses
and
then
our
proposal
is
intensity.
It
allows
six
stories,
so
our
intent
is
to
build
a
development
that
more
mimics
chapel
view.
Mr
chairman,.
A
M
Thank
you
vice
president,
my
only
concern
with
this
amendment
is
is
not
necessarily
with
the
amendments
with
the
definition
as
it
stands,
I
think,
of
a
30
000
square
foot
store,
I
think,
of
potentially
a
restoration
hardware.
I
think
of
potentially
a
creighton
barrel,
I
think
of
a
douglas
lumber
kitchen
viewing
center.
M
These
are
all
low-impact
kinds
of
businesses
that
would
be
ruled
out.
By
removing
this
definition,
I
actually
recommend
you
change
the
definition
to
increase
the
square
footage
to
make
it
more
akin
to
eliminate
the
lows
in
the
home
depot,
something
like
90
000
square
feet.
Gfa
then
I
could
potentially
support
it,
but
30
000
square
feet.
I
mean
a
lot
of
your.
Your
retailers
are
shrinking
they're,
going
smaller
you're
going
to
see
companies
like
even
even
staples.
M
I
happen
to
work
there,
they're
going
from
a
60
000
square
foot,
land
with
35
000
square
foot,
plant
everything's
coming
down
and
with
thirty
thousand
square
feet
being
the
only
real
clarifier.
You
know
I
read
this.
It
doesn't
read
to
me
that
says
it
sells
predominantly
hardware
lines.
It
just
says
a
facility
of
more
than
thirty
thousand
feet
and
gains
the
retail
of
basic
hardware
alliance.
It
doesn't
say
they
could
sell
anything
else
if
they're
selling
hardware
and
they're
more
than
30
000
square
feet
if
we
eliminate
them,
but
they
can't
come.
P
Yes,
I
think
you'll.
If
you
look
at
the
the
ordinance
and
the
different
categories,
there's
a
category
that
carpionato
has
included
in
this
proposed
zone,
which
is
retail
sales
establishment,
large
scale,
and
the
definition
of
that
in
the
municipal
code
is
large-scale.
Retail
sales
establishment
means
an
establishment
of
greater
than
10
000
square
feet,
primarily
devoted
to
the
sale
or
rental
of
goods
or
merchandise,
to
the
general
public,
for
personal
or
household
consumption,
or
to
services
incidental
to
the
sale
or
rental
of
such
goods
or
merchandise.
P
So
a
crate
and
barrel,
if
it's
greater
than
10
000
square
feet,
obviously
falls
under
that
definition,
not
the
more
specific
home
improvement
center
definition,
so
I
think
the
the
bringing
of
target
or
costco
or
crate
and
barrel
these
places
into
the
discussion
is,
is
really
not
what
this
amendment
would
do.
It
would
bar
just
what
it
says:
large
home
improvement,
centers
of
greater
than
30
000
square
feet,
so
I
would
urge
people
to
to
vote
for
this.
I
think
that.
P
We
don't
want
to
give
a
a
a
blank
check
to
do
this
and
we've
all
seen
how
the
economy
can
change.
I
know
you
know
eight
ten
years
ago
there
were
all
these
plans
for
residential
development
in
western
craftsman,
and
then
the
economy
crashed
and
all
those
not
all
of
them,
but
most
of
them
were
put
on
hold.
So
when
the
economy
changes
or
the
money
is,
is
better
now
better
in
the
future
than
it
is
now
for
certain
services,
then
plans
change,
and
we
don't
want
to.
P
J
You
know
what
out
of
me
number
one,
but
I
mean
it
was
probably
30
000
square
feet,
35
000
square
feet,
so
not
that
I
want
to
compete
with
mr
durf
right
there,
but
everybody
is
downsizing
air
and
then
I
started
to
do
a
little
bit
of
research.
I
know
pat
quinlan
did
also.
If
you
look
at
home
depot,
the
average
size
of
a
whole
home
depot
is
130
000
square
feet.
So
that's
130
thousand
lows
right
now
is
the
big
ones
are
116
000
and
they're,
not
sized
to
94
000
square
feet.
J
Believe
me,
I
can
organize
as
many
people
or
help
organize
as
many
people
as
I
did
back
then
to
go
to
these
committees
to
make
sure
that
it
doesn't
get
built.
I
think
you're
looking
at
some
of
these
marshalls
now,
which
kind
of
home
good
type
of
situations
which
again
at
30
000
square
feet,
I
believe
there's
a
clothing
store
or
something
coming
up
there.
Now
that's
about
30,
000
square
feet
seems
to
tj
max.
J
You
know,
and
I
just
think
that
again
he
was
on
record
saying
that
you
don't
make
money
with
those
big
box
stores.
As
a
developer,
I
mean
they're
going
to
be
investing
millions
and
millions
of
dollars,
and
then
they
want
to
do
something.
That's
clean
and
unique
would
have
with
having
artisan
lofts
so
that
the
artisans
could
live
upstairs
from
their
business.
I
mean
we've
been
talking
about
that
for
years
in
cranston
with
the
cranston
print
works
and
some
of
these
other
mills.
J
I
I
and
I
I
just
don't
see
when
a
reputable
reputable
builder
and
businessman
says
they're
not
going
to
do
something.
You
know
I'm
not
going
to
take
that
right
away
from.
Of
course
things
could
happen,
but
at
that
point
I
have
no
indication
that
they're
going
to
violate
what
they
want.
So
I'm
going
to
vote
in
favor
of
this
and
I'm
going
to
vote
against
the
amendment
because
I
think
it's
tying
their
hands.
N
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
I
I'm
a
little
baffled
with
the
definition
of
the
home
improvement
store,
because
I
would
not
go
to
durfee,
so
I
would
never
think
of
going
to
dirt
reason
offense
to
go,
buy
cutlery.
I
mean
I
don't
know
why
that's
even
in
the
definition
to
begin
with
or
again
home
appliances.
N
So
if
there
was
an
appliance
store
that
wanted
to
open
there
and
it
was
over
30
000
square
feet,
they
couldn't
do
it
or
if
they
sold
appliances,
I
mean
the
definition
to
me
seems
overly
broad,
as
councilman
farina
said.
The
other
thing
that
was
mentioned
is
we
don't
want
to
put
derpies
out
of
business
but
unfortunately
that's
not
what
zoning
is
used
for.
Zoning
is
not
used
to
pick
winners
and
losers.
N
N
The
other
things
I
haven't
mentioned
that
were
mentioned
in
committee
is
that
this
is
just
the
first
step
involved
in
the
zoning
change.
Traffic
studies
was
mentioned
by
one
of
the
speakers
earlier.
That's
all
going
to
have
to
be
done
after
this,
through
planning
whatever
and
traffic
studies
will
have
to
be
done,
go
through
the
planning
process.
N
So
all
this
is
in
the
future.
All
this
is
a
zoning
change
to
bring
us
bring
that
land
to
comply,
because
it's
not
m2
anymore.
It's
not
industrial,
the
old
wall
building
so
again
and
with
the
planned
traffic
improvements
along
with
this
development,
I
think,
will
go
a
long
way
in
helping
pontiac
have
frankly
that
red
light
in
front
of
aldi's
is
the
one.
N
If
the
definition
of
a
home
improvement
center
was
clear
where
it
just
said,
it
cannot
be
a
hardware
store
over
60
000
square
feet.
I
would
think
that
would
be
a
reasonable
solution,
but
it
doesn't.
It
has
other
items
in
there
that
I
think
could
exclude
restoration.
Hardware
is
a
great
example
of
that.
So
again,
I
would
be
voting
against
the
amendment
and
volvo
in
favor
of
the
zoning
change.
Thank
you.
L
Thank
you,
council,
president,
on
the
amendment
council
and
psycho's
amendment
just
is
adding
a
safeguard
for
the
constituents
of
ward
six
and
probably
one
of
the
best
businesses
we
have
in
cranston
durfee
hardware
he's
been
here
from
eons
paying
taxes
in
the
city.
It's
just
saying.
If
capionaro
proposes
it
gives
a
proposal,
that's
over
30
000
square
feet.
Then
that
proposal
will
come
before
the
city
council
will
be
public
hearings.
The
public
will
be
able
to
come.
L
L
Any
proposal
capping
auto
gives
will
go
before
the
planning
board,
which
isn't
an
elective
body
they're
appointed
by
most
of
the
mayor,
and
the
public
basically
won't
have
a
forum
to
discuss
what
the
proposal
is.
So
this
amendment
doesn't
prevent
capyanar
from
doing
anything.
It
just
says
if
capyanato
makes
a
proposal
that
is
in
excess
of
30
000
square
feet.
That
proposal
must
come
before
the
city
council,
so
you're
empowering
the
city
council,
empowering
the
people
and
it's
the
right
thing
to
do
and
I'll
be
supporting
the
amendment.
J
I
believe
it
was
councilman
botz
who
mentioned
something.
This
is
directed
to
city
solicitor
and
mr
quinway.
So,
mr
quinlan,
if,
if
we
pass
this
amendment,
aren't
we
kind
of
protecting
a
business
from
zoning?
I
mean
you're,
passing
a
zoning
rule
protecting
a
business.
I
mean
you
really
can't
do
that.
Can
you.
R
Just
so
clear
with
your
question,
so
what
you're
saying
is
if
the
pending
amendment
on
the
floor
is
passed,
that
would
be
helping
a
business,
and
we
can't
do
that.
Is
that
the
question
yes
in
the
in
the
abstract?
No
okay,
in
the
sense
that
anytime,
you
grant
zoning
to
build
something.
It
creates
competition
for
someone
in
the
city.
R
If
the
specific
reason
for
adopting
an
amendment
would
be
to
protect
a
particular
store
or
to
oppose
the
members
to
protect
the
particular
store,
I
think
the
court
would
find
that
suspect,
but
in
the
general
sense
I
mean
every
time
you
put
into
retail
development,
it
create
some
competition
with
someone
else
in
the
city.
I
think,
if
the
specific
intent
and
the
articulated
intent
is
to
protect
that
particular
business,
I
think
you'd
be
in
trouble
on
the
ordinance
or
the
change.
A
M
M
There
was
a
lot
of
discussion
about
if
they
were
to
put
some
kind
of
retailer
there
that
would
put
stress
in
the
system.
This
would
have
to
go
from
d.o.t,
because
it's
a
state
road
d.o.t
would
have
to
give
its
first
approval
before
we
could
do
any
kind
of
change
and
to
get
a
dot.
Approval
is
rather
difficult
if
you're
not
conforming
to
the
laws
to
to
make
traffic
patterns
more
feasible.
So
there.
M
K
Thank
you,
council
president,
to
follow
up
on
that
I
mean
I
definitely
was
against
the
home
depot.
That
was
in
my
that's
in
my
district
that
where
mulligan's
island
is
actually
where
it
was
proposed,
but
way
back
when
and
I
I
certainly
didn't
think
that
that
was
a
good
location
for
it.
Of
course,
the
traffic
situation
there
is
much
much
worse
and
that's
really
not
a
good
location.
K
There
was
no
highway
access
from
there
to
from
that
site.
I
guess
my
biggest
concern
is,
I
guess.
None
of
the
home
depots
are
under
130
000
square
feet,
they're
awfully
big
box
stores,
so
I'm
a
little
bit
uncomfortable
with
the
30
000
square
foot
rule
and
how
it
might
affect
other
businesses.
I'm
not
sure
if
we
should
change
the
do
some
language
change
in
the
in
the
ordinance
so
that
it's
even
clearer
what
what
were
restricted.
I
mean
I,
I
would
feel
more
comfortable.
K
It
was
a
larger
square
footage
so
that
if
you
had
a
crate
barrel
or
restoration
hardware
type
business,
they
wouldn't
be
effect
affected
by
this,
because
someone
might
file
a
lawsuit
to
stop
the
them
from
from
doing
it.
So
I
mean
I
understand
the
intent
and
I
certainly
don't
want
to
see
a
home
depot
there
if
possible,
if
it's
at
all
possible,
unless
they
started
building
25
000
square
foot
stores,
then
you
couldn't
stop
them
even
under
this.
This
change,
so
I'm
not
sure
that
this
will
have
the
desired
effect.
P

General
hardware,
I
mean,
if
you're
what,
if
you're
a
kitchen
cabinet
place,
what,
if
your
tile
shop,
you
sell
tile
source.
I
mean
it's,
it's
you
know
you
go
into
some
of
these
mini
home
improvement.
Centers,
I
mean
south
kingston.
The
lumber
yard
has
a
kitchen
and
bath
place,
you're,
going
to
one
part:
it's
granite
and
tile
you
go
into
the
next
part.
You
can
rent
tools
you're
going
to
the
next
fine,
you
could
buy
tools
and
it's
probably
30
000
square
feet
for
less.

In
christian
or
we
allow
businesses-
and
I
understand
the
safeguards
that
councilman
cyclist
is
trying
to
put
on
it.
However,
I
think
they're
too
stringent
and
I'm
gonna
be
honest
with
you.
I
admire
councilman
psychos.
I
think
he
does
a
great
job,
but
I
have
to
disagree
with
him
on
this
particular
subject
and
I'll
be
voting
for
the
clear.
Please
take
the
vote.
B
A
K
I
have
a
couple
of
questions
on
the
traffic
issue
if
I,
if
I
may,
through
the
chair
to
mr
coates,
because
I
remember,
we've
been
dealing
with
some
other
land
that
that
carbonaro
corporation
has
been
attempting
to
buy
under
london,
which
will
have
some
impact
on
this
development
in
the
future,
and
I
believe
that
that's
still
a
viable
project
as
well,
which
could
help
alleviate
some
of
the
congestion
from
the
entrance
on
new
london
avenue
is
that
is
that
correct?
Mr
cole?
Yes,
sir,.
B
S
Mr
council
president,
it
requires
that
that
the
development
meet
all
the
requirements
of
the
traffic
ordinance
passed
by
the
planning
commission,
and
so
that
includes
not
only
those
are
rigorous
requirements
that
we
have
to
go
through.
So
when
the
final
traffic
generation
is
determined,
then
we
would
have
to
go
through
the
improvements
required
to
meet
the
city's
independent
traffic
engineer.
Who
reviews
it
and.
K
S
On
pontiac,
we've
completed
the
plans,
mr
president,
for
pontiac
they're
at
the
95
stage,
and
I
know
the
state
would
love
to
hear
from
the
council
in
a
future
resolution,
encouraging
them
to
spend
the
state
dollars
to
complete
the
redesign
of
that
intersection.
We've
designed
it
that's
private
public
partnership
and
we're
working
with
them
to
have
that
completed.
Mr
chairman,
again,
no
work
will
be
done
here
on
site
prior
to
two
years
from
now,
and
this
allows
us
to
go
into
design
and
work
with.
S
S
I
told
them
I'd
meet
with
the
neighborhood
prior
to
us
doing
anything,
and
so
many
of
you
will
still
be
in
these
same
seats
and
I'll
repeat
that
we'll
meet
with
the
local
community
we'll
meet
with
our
neighbors,
we'll
hear
their
concerns
and
we'll
work
to
address
those
so
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
traffic
situation
situation's
addressed
our
huge
investment
at
chapel
and
at
the
training
school
in
its
development
means
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
traffic
works.
So.
K
M
M
M
M
M
P
Yep,
I
think
we
need
to
be
really
clear
about
what
we're
voting
on
here.
We're
not
voting
on
whether
we
like
the
carbon
auto
corporation,
we're
not
voting
on
whether
we
think
there
should
be
economic
development
in
the
city.
What
we're
voting
on
is
giving
away
our
power
to
have
influence
over
this
project
before
we
know
what
it
is.
P
New
campus
ready
in
time
and
the
planning
department
and
the
site
plan
review
process
or
whatever
it's
called
now.
The
development
plan
review
process,
the
department
of
transportation
they're
going
to
be
they're,
going
to
be
tinkering
at
the
edges,
and
if
you
want
to
have
control
over
the
situation
like,
we
should
have
had
control
over
the
stop
and
shop
situation.
P
J
Want
to
kind
of
ask
councilman
steigle's
opinion
on
this,
so
west
in
cranston
is
probably
maybe
one
company
building
right
now,
that's
pursuing
their
building
homes,
yet
there
are
probably
15
or
16
other
parcels
that
can
be
developed
that
have
been
changed
that
you
can
put
homes
on
so
then
we
do
the
same
thing
there
or
didn't
previous
consoles
do
the
same
thing.
There
lose
control
on
open
space,
no
less,
not
urban
environment
but
open
space
and
we
lost
the
control
of
the
open
space.
Is
that
not
what
previous
consoles
have
done?
P
P
K
Thank
you,
council,
president,
through
the
chair
to
to
mr
confidence,
but
isn't
that
what
we
face
with
every
zone
change
I
mean
we
don't
know
exactly
what's
going
to
go
in,
we
don't
know.
If
they're
going
to
build
modular
homes
on
a
presidential
site,
purple
houses
they
could
build
basically
whatever
they
want.
The
planning
commission
takes
over
after
we.
After
we
vote
on
a
zone,
we
create
the
the
zoning
someone
else
takes
control
over
looking
at
all
those
things,
including
the
the
traffic
engineers,
the
state,
if
they're
involved.
K
So
I
know
you
want
to
have
control
of
everything,
but
we're
not
going
to
know
every
business,
that's
going
into
a
certain
zone
at
the
time
someone
begins
to
try
to
market
it.
I
mean
they
can't
tell
us
that
you
know
exactly
who's
going
in.
I
think
they
that
we
we
do
our
job
and
then
planning
and
the
administration
does
its
job
and
hopefully
come
up
with
a
very
good
business
environment.
But
I
just
think
that
you
know
you
have
to
look
at
the
the
type
of
development.
K
I
mean
it's
certainly
high-end
in
that
you
know
in
the
whole
area.
I'm
fortunate
enough
to
represent
that
district,
but
everything
in
garden,
city
and
chapel
view
seems
to
be
high-end
development,
they're,
not
looking
to
build
anything
that
anything
cheap
to
lack
of
a
better
term.
So
I
I.
I
don't
think
that
I
don't
think
we
give
up
total
control
of
everything.
I
don't
think
they
even
have
any
idea
as
to
exactly
what's
going
in
there
at
this
point
in
time.
K
K
Even
even
though
I
I
will
watch
the
traffic
issue
very
closely
because
that's
something
near
and
dear
to
my
heart,
I
know
the
people
in
the
area
I've
communicated
with
them
over
the
last
week,
and
I
you
know,
I
know
what
goes
on
with
the
traffic
there,
so
I,
but
I
think
that
some
of
the
plans
that
mr
coats
has
detailed
even
prior
to
this
will
help
improve
the
traffic
situation
on
both
ends
of
this.
This
development.
M
Councilman
freedom.
Thank
you,
council
president.
You
know.
One
of
the
things
that
came
up
in
the
planning
commission
was
discussion
around
transition,
this
property
from
a
business
which
is
open
every
day
from
eight
to
five
to
a
retail
home
type
establishment.
So
currently,
there's
1700
people
working
in
that
citizens
building.
So
at
the
hours
of
between
the
hours
of
seven
and
nine
and
four
and
six
traffic
is
the
worst
as
the
parcel
transitions
to
more
of
a
mixed
use.
Development.
You
won't
see
the
same
kind
of
peak
traffic.
M
At
the
times
we
see
it
today,
it'll
be
more
level
set
more
aligned
with
a
day-to-day
operation
of
a
retail
business
that
came
up
in
the
planning
discussion.
That
question
was
asked
that
information
was
given
by
the
planning
department.
I
just
thought
the
public
should
hear
what
came
out
of
that
planning
this
session
planning
session,
because
sometimes
a
lot
of
people
don't
get
to
go
to
those
meetings.
L
L
So
we
had
to
be
very
careful
when
he
was
running
the
bases
or
calling
strikes
what
we
did.
So
we
gave
him
a
lot
of
leeway.
I
supported
councilman
steiger's
amendment.
I
didn't
get.
The
call
didn't
go
my
way,
but
it
doesn't
mean
I'm
going
to
take
the
bat
on
the
wall
go
home.
I
think
the
project,
the
essence
of
it
is
good
for
cranston.
L
J
B
C
B
P
B
C
P
L
C
B
C
A
Q
Think
it
was
four
questions.
The
first
question
was
which
cities
or
towns
currently
have
agreements
with
cranston.
Colonel
wink
was
kind
enough
to
answer
these
from
his
research.
It
looked
like
we
had
agreements
with
the
city
of
warwick
and
the
town
of
johnston,
so,
but
obviously
I
think
the
police
chiefs
wanted
to
get
together
and
all
six
adjoining
towns
and
cities
one
to
have.
Q
Q
Q
J
T
Q
Okay,
so
I
understand
state
police
have
troopers
that
are
actually
on
the
campus
station,
okay
at
the
aci,
so
we
don't
get
involved
at
all
correct.
Well,
you
know
some
of
these
issues
came
up
with
the
issue
of
the
redistricting.
My
understanding,
though,
that
the
police
often
do
respond
if
they
have
to.
If
the
cranston
police
are
contacted
as
a
matter
of
courtesy,
they
will
go
to
the
acl.
If
that's.
J
The
case
I'm
going
to
propose
an
amendment
because,
if
we're
mutual
aid,
then
I'm
going
to
propose
an
amendment
that
each
one
of
these
municipalities
who
are
part
of
this
contract
take
a
turn
like
one
month
out
of
the
year
and
provide
backup
to
the
aci.
So
that
we're
not
just
allocating
our
resources
there.
But
I
don't
know
how
often
it
happens
or
anything.
But
if
we're
part
of
a
mutual
aid
agreement
and
we're
back
up.
J
K
Q
Yeah,
I
think
that's
something
for
colonel
windquist,
maybe
to
study,
I
don't
know
the
exact
numbers
if
we're
giving
more
aid
than
vice
versa.
That's
a
very
good
question.
I
don't
know
colonel
lindquist.
If
you
want
to
propose
that
for
next,
I
can
certainly
inquire
kind
of
link
the
numbers
I
think
they'll
happen
to.
K
Q
M
A
A
A
Q
Okay-
and
you
know
again,
the
fire
is
more
state
regulated
and
not
to
bring
it
up,
but
that's
something
that
might
be
more
of
a
community
service
grant
where
the
state
should
try
to
reimburse
us.
I
don't
maybe
it's
a
sore
subject
nowadays,
but
that's
something
that
states
it's
been
a
subject
for
me
for
14
years.
Okay,
that's
something
that
might
be
worth
recommending
that
the
state
reimburse
us
for
okay.
Q
A
M
If
it
would
make
my
colleagues
in
the
council
more
comfortable
since
this
is
already
in
place,
we
can
send
this
back
to
committee
till
we
have
your
questions
answered.
Your
concerns
related
potentially
have
the
colonel
will
come
before
us
and
give
us
a
five
minute
speech
as
to
why
this
is
important.
I
have
no
problem
with
drawing
my
motion
approve,
making
a
motion
to
recommit
it
back
to
commitment.
D
I
echo
your
concerns
too,
especially.
The
location
of
our
police
department
is
a
hop
skip
and
a
jump
from
providence.
So
there's
a
visit.
There's
a
you
know:
convenience
there.
Can
I
get
a
second
on
my
motion
to
recommend,
so
I
would
support
councilman
farina's
a
motion
to
recommit.
So
we
could
just
ask
a
few
more
questions.
N
Q
A

A
C
K
A
This
call
is
no
longer
able
to
serve
on
the
zoning
board
of
review
due
to
personal
reasons.
She
has
served
on
the
board
in
the
city
faithfully
since
her
initial
appointment
and
we
thank
her
for
her
service.
In
order
to
fill
her
position,
we
must
officially
vote
to
remove
her
pursuant
to
section
3.18
of
the
city
child.
V
Yes,
we
were
contacted
initially
a
while
back
by
steve
riolis,
the
secretary
to
the
board.
Ms
cole
had
made
an
announcement
at
the
december
meeting
that
she
had
some
personal
situation
and
since
that
time
she
has
not
attended
any
meetings.
They
have
tried
reaching
her
on
several
occasions
to
no
avail.
The
charter
requires
that
we
send
them
10
days,
written
notice,
and
we
did
do
that.
The
letter
was
returned
is
undeliverable,
we
have
no
phone
address
and
she
has
not
contacted
or
responded
to
any
emails
or
phone
calls.
Okay,
thank.
B
B

B

W
B
Q
Well,
mr
president,
on
the
settle
claims,
the
first
2600
that
was
a
vehicle
that
was
damaged
by
a
city,
vehicle
liability,
was
100.
The
1500
is
the
same
accident.
So
with
that's
resolved
the
two
later
figures.
The
baron
balm
of
16500
was
a
flood
issue
back
in
2005,
as
well
as
the
payment
to
amica
on
a
segregation
for
ten
thousand.
So
that
was
a
flood
claim
that
had
been
pending
for
approximately
11
years
and
that
had
gotten
resolved
for
a
total
of
27
000.
B
J
Mr
president,
yes,
before
you
do,
that,
can
we
can
we
just?
Can
I
ask
a
question
on
the
keys
that
came?
In
that
permission,
the
note
we
got
all
right.
Who
are
you
going
to
direct
your
question
to
director
strong?
This
is
showing
that
we
collected
105
000,
approximately
that's
to
end
fiscal
year
16..
Is
that
correct,
or
is
that
and
does
that
include
the
extra
payment
we
made
to
the
police
station.
J
J
X
This
this
hundred
five
thousand
remains
it's
not
something
that
gets
transferred
but
as
needed,
and
if
we
needed
to
do
the
the
the
rent,
let's
say
for
the
police
station,
we
can
do
that
by
just
drawing
from
it.
So
it's
not
really
a
transfer.
It's
just
taking
the
money.
That's
there
and
available
it's
a
rolling
in
a
a
cumulative
balance.
The
key
you
know
it's
not
something
where,
if
you
don't
use
it
it,
it
goes
to
like
a
surplus
account.
That's
it
just
continues.
Well,.
X
Q
Q
A
215
000
was
not
just
a
bonus,
for
him
took
care
of
his
legal
fees.
Also,
that's
correct.
Okay,
this
council
months
and
months
ago
asked
the
administration
to
reinstate
patrolling
joseph
to
the
rank
of
sergeant
after
the
state
police
report
came
out
were
ignored,
they
wanted
to
go
to
court
and
they
did
and
now,
of
course,
the
taxpayers
215
000.
A
Q
Y
What
I
might
tally
through
june
30th
invoices
through
june
30
of
this
year,
pertaining
to
matters
relating
to
the
first
court
appeal,
not
suff,
necessarily
appeal
itself,
but
through
that
period
of
time
and
sequence
of
events,
totaled.
Three
hundred
and
three
thousand
six
hundred
fifty
one
dollars
and
fifty
four
cents.
Q
Q
A
Q
L
Y
L
We
know
tonight
it's
over
500
000,
correct
the
numbers
correct,
so
that
explains
why
ward
three
doesn't
have
any
roads
being
paid.
We
have
according
to
what
I
received
the
email
from
mr
barone.
There
are
no
roads
being
paid
in
ward
three
this
year
because
the
money's
been
spawned
for
legal
fees.
Thank
you.
N
Y
Mr
president,
yeah,
please
continue
the
215
pertains
to
the
settlement.
We
don't
know
what
the
legal
fees
are
so
I'll
be
adding
that
to
whatever
josephson
had
before,
and
that
there
were
still
other
costs
with
josephus
I'll,
be
happy
to
next
month
report
to
you
councilman
botts,
what
the
total
would
be
for.
Mr
joseph.
N
A
D
What
happened
to
him
was
close
to
communism
that
he
was
actually
they
did
made
up
rules
after
they
demoted
him
and
told
him
he
he
violated
them.
So
let's
look
at
that
he's
back
to
the
job
that
he
belonged
at
before
the
shenanigans
of
the
police
department
happened.
They
get
all
the
money.
Iran
has
been
related.
M
M
I'm
happy
that
sergeant
josephson
is
a
sergeant
again
going
forward.
You
know
this
steps
back
to
one
report,
one
issue
that
we
keep
going
back
to
I'm
glad
the
administration
is
slowly
but
surely
fixing
these
things
and
moving
forward.
You
know
at
the
end
of
the
day
we
all
want
the
city
forward.
I
know
the
initial
estimate
was
8.9
million
dollars,
so
I'm
sure,
as
we
add
up
the
actuals,
the
actual
number
I
had
that
was
spent
was
about
800
000
for
the
police
issue.
This
gets
us
to
about
1.1
million
dollars.
M
So,
as
these
things
get
settled,
the
actual
that
we've
spent
will
go
up
and
that
forecast
figure
will
come
down
and
my
guess
is
we'll
end
it
at
about
2
million.
Again
avoidable
costs.
It
is
what
it
is.
I
hope
we
can
move
forward
in
a
sense
of
prosperity,
knowing
that
these
issues
are
being
resolved.
Councilman.

Q
Q
Q
A
A
P
Y
Y
Again,
I'm
giving
you
estimates,
because
I
don't
have
a
fine,
a
definite
answer.
There
has
to
be
some
reasonable
assumptions
and,
and
that
would
be
it
so,
on
the
low
end
without
the
medical
costs
is
728
000..
If
you
include
the
medical
and
the
bust
out
matters,
it
will
come
to
a
million.
531
is
the
number
of
numbers
that
I
have.
P
X
Through
baseline,
based
on
this
contract,
he's
entitled
to
family
health
insurance
as
a
retiree,
he
was
also
entitled
to
family
health
insurance
as
an
active
employee
as
well,
so
he
either
or
until
he
reaches
age,
65
he's
entitled
to
health
insurance.
Now,
as
you
just
mentioned,
if
he
pursues
and
gets
a
position
tomorrow,
two
years
from
now,
there
will
be
an
adjustment
how
much
we
have
to
pay
for
his
health
insurance,
which
is
calculated
by
one
of
my
employees,.
P
X
Believe
right
now
he's
getting
the
full
I'm
not
aware
of
any
position
that
he
has
with
another
municipality
or
state
organization
or
even
a
private
organization.
I
don't
know
that
right
now.
I
do
know
that
every
year
we
get
people's
w-2s
sent
to
us
and
we
adjust
what
they
get
for
health
care
based
on
what
they
receive.
X
M
Of
caution
this
isn't
on
the
docket
tonight.
I
don't
want
to
be
violating
any
kind
of
open
meetings
rules.
I
understand
your
comments
about
josephson
and
your
presence
communication,
but
as
we
keep
going
down
the
path
this
isn't
on
the
docket,
so
I
don't
know
if
I
want
to
be
violating
any
kind
of
opening
rules,
so
I
would
ask
a
little
just
to.
R
A
P
T
T
P
Sounds
good,
thank
you
for
the
report
yep
just
I
might
just
a
little
campaign
story.
I
know
we
all
have
our
our
little
triumphs
as
we're
campaigning
and
we
get
law
and
sign
locations,
and
I
I
think
most
of
you
know
that
my
wife
is
a
is
a
physician
and
she
had
a
patient
come
in
to
her
office
and
the
patient
said.
I
know
your
husband's
last
name
is
different
from
your
last
name,
but
I
agreed
to
put.
B
M
Thank
you
to
continue
with
the
lighthearted
motor
of
the
night.
This
weekend
was
the
saint
mary's
feast,
I'm
not
going
to
go
into
big
detail
and
I'll.
Let
captain
pablo
do
if
he
so
chooses
as
his
ward,
but
it
was
a
great
event.
I
saw
a
lot
of
my
fellow
councilmen
there.
It
was
a
good
time
to
kind
of
bury
the
political
hatchets
not
in
each
other's
backs,
but
more
in
the
dirt.
M
Where
we
could,
you
know
converse,
I
had
the
opportunity
to
talk
to
councilman
arquetto
councilman
aceto,
capitol,
viccio,
catherine
santa
maria,
and
as
always,
it
was
a
great
event
for
a
great
cause.
The
city
administration.
Many
of
the
members
were
there
at
various
nights.
We
even
had,
I
think
god
had
the
thunderstorm
on
friday
night
go
around
us
because
in
western
branston,
where
I
live,
it
was
literally
ripping
the
siding
off.
My
house
and
my
wife
asked
me:
where
are
you
maniac?
M
A
D
So
I
really
really
enjoyed
this
one.
I
don't
know
why,
but
I
agree
with
councilman
farina
to
see
the
smiles
on
my
grandson's
faces
and
your
son
and
daughter's
face
when
they
were
riding
on
the
rides
and
the
camaraderie
and
old
friends
coming
back
to
town.
I
just
think
it's
a
it's
a
wonderful,
wonderful
thing
and
I
hope
it
goes
on
for
another
hundred
years.
Thanks.
A
Everybody
else,
I'll
put
my
two
cents
in
I've
walked
st
mary's
feast
every
year
since
1976,
except
for
one
year
when
I
had
a
triple
bypass
so
other
than
that
I
participated
in
that
feast.
Since
I
was
a
kid
a
child
actually
used
to
go
by
my
house
when
I
was
very
young,
it's
a
great
event
historic
event.
A
It
says
a
lot
about
the
culture
that
our
grandparents
great
grandparents
brought
to
this
country
the
trials
and
tribulations
they
went
through
to
get
established
here
and
how
we've
risen
as
a
community
together-
and
I
think
that's
the
most
important
thing
about
the
feast.
It's
family,
religion
and
culture.
