Mayor

Mr.
president,
honorable
members
of
the
Cranston
City
Council,
it's
an
honor
and
a
pleasure
here
to
present
to
your
fine
police
department
tonight,
their
state
accreditation.
They
have
worked
hard,
they
have
overcome
challenges
and
they
have
succeeded,
and
you
ought
to
be
rightly
proud
of
the
presentation
that
we're
going
to
make
tonight.
I
have
with
me
tonight
the
executive
director
of
the
state,
accreditation,
Commission,
retired,
captain
Christine,
Crocker
and
L.
J
K
Good
evening,
it's
a
pleasure
to
be
here
to
award
the
Cranston
Police
Department,
with
their
first
re-accreditation,
with
the
state
accreditation
Commission.
To
give
you
some
idea
of
what
exactly
accreditation
is
much
like
hospitals
and
universities
and
schools
have
standards
that
they
must
adhere
to
that's
what
we
have
created
for
law
enforcement
here
in
Rhode
Island,
so
that
they're
adhering
to
nationally
recognized
best
practices
and
not
that
attaining
accreditation
is
any
easy
task,
but
you're
putting
your
system
in
place
with
your
promise
that
moving
forward.
K
These
are
the
things
that
you're
going
to
do
and
you
provide
proofs
of
compliance
to
attain.
Re-Accreditation
is
an
extremely
hard
thing
to
do,
because
now
you
have
to
make
sure
you're
doing
what
you
said.
You
do
that
you're
following
those
best
practices
and
providing
those
proofs
and
the
Cranston
Police
Department
has
done
that.
You
should
be
very,
very
proud
of
the
men
and
women
of
this
agency
and
Colonel
wink.
K
West
I've
had
the
pleasure
of
working
with
several
of
them
on
model
policies,
all
of
law
enforcement
throughout
the
state,
they're
a
great
resource
and
again
I'm
very
proud
of
them.
Congratulations!
Colonel
to
you
and
your
staff,
thank
you
very
much
and
again
you
have
a
great
Police
Department.
You
should
be
very
proud
of
them.
Thank
you.
J
L
First,
one
I
think
little
McCartney
and
director
Krakow
for
coming
here
tonight
to
make
a
public
presentation
for
our
read
credit,
a
ssin
as
director
Crocker
mentioned
it's
a
long
and
arduous
process
to
get
recreated
and
all
the
credit
goes
to
the
the
men
to
my
left
here
or
in
our
credit
Asian
unit
at
the
police
department.
It's
not
a
very
fun
task
to
sit
there
and
collect
proofs
and
pieces
of
paper
and
make
sure
we'll
follow
all
our
policies.
L
But
it's
critical
to
make
sure
that
we
are
in
the
top
of
law
enforcement
here
in
the
state.
So
now
we
are
nationally
accredited
and
we're
also
stay
pre
accredited
so
very
proud.
Thank
you
for
the
support
from
Mayor
Fung
and
his
administration
as
well,
and
to
the
public
who
supports
us
every
day.
Thank
you.
M
I'll
be
very
brief.
I
just
want
to
first
of
all
thank
the
colonel
and
Christine
for
being
back
here
again
in
our
great
city
of
crayons
and
Andrea
credit.
Our
Police
Department
I
want
to
just
take
a
moment
to
thank
not
only
the
accreditation
team,
Colonel,
one
quest,
but
most
important,
the
men
and
women
who
wear
the
uniform
every
single
day,
making
sure
we
have
a
safe
community
and
doing
it
to
the
highest
end,
it's
possible
not
only
in
Rhode
Island,
but
standards
all
across
the
country.
So
thank
you.
M
A
So
I
see
a
lot
of
people
in
the
audience
tonight,
which
is
great
I'm
gonna.
Ask
that
everybody
try
to
squeeze
in
where
they
can
so
we
can
get.
As
many
of
you
see
it
seated
as
we
possible
as
possible.
Just
in
case
the
fire
department
comes
in
or
violating
the
fire
code
low.
So
you
can't
have
a
lot
of
you
stand
back
there
so
try
to
sit
down
whatever
possible.
N
A
A
A
A
All
right,
so
we
have
public
hearings
now
in
any
docketed
matter.
So
if
you're
here
to
speak
on
any
doctor
didn't
matter
and
now
would
be
the
time
we're
gonna
hold
comments
to
four
minutes
tonight,
which
is
the
usual
for
our
rules,
so
Attorney
Murray.
If
you'd
like
to
go
first
then
will
I
have
a
sign-in
sheet
sheetsheet
and
once
we
get
through
with
the
sheet
will
everybody
else
is
going
to
be.
A
Okay,
so
I
just
got
word
from
the
director
administration.
If
you're
standing
you
have
to
go
in
the
hallway,
there
are
seats
out
in
the
hallway,
so
anyone
standing
in
the
back
of
the
room,
we'll
need
you
to
go
to
the
hall-
will
turn
the
speakers
on.
So
you
can
hear
them
that's
happening
in
the
room.
O
You,
mr.
council
president,
members
of
City
Council
for
the
record,
my
name
is
Robert
Murray
I'm,
an
attorney
with
the
firm
of
taps
mcsalley
located
at
21,
Garden,
City,
Drive
and
Cranston
I'm
here
tonight,
on
behalf
of
the
ownership
of
the
Garden
City
Shopping
Center
and
the
wilder
companies
the
management
company
for
the
shopping
center.
O
We
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
be
here
tonight
to
talk
about
ordinates,
1,
17
10.
It's
an
ordinance
which
we
submitted
to
establish
a
framework
for
future
consideration
and
development
of
the
Garden
City
Shopping
Center
I,
know
there's
considerable
public
interest
in
this
ordinance.
We
did
appear
before
the
ordinance
committee
11
days
ago
and
made
a
full
presentation.
I
know,
I,
believe
that
even
all
members
of
the
council
were
present
even
those
that
weren't
on
the
ordinance
committee.
O
It's
not
our
intention
to
again
make
a
full
presentation
but
by
the
same
token,
I
believe
there
are
people
here
tonight
that
were
present
that
evening
and
it's
famous
for
them.
We
want
to
just
do
an
abbreviated,
quick
overview
of
the
ordinance
and
the
intentions.
I
want
to
just
note
for
the
record
mr.
Thomas
Wilders
here
this
evening
is
the
principle
of
wilder
company
the
management
company.
He
is
going
to
speak
in
a
few
minutes.
Mr.
Joseph
kachelle,
the
general
manager
of
the
shopping
center,
is
here
to
answer
any
questions
and
be
a
resource.
O
Miss
Kelly
Burke
is
the
vice
president
for
development
services
for
the
wider
company
and
she's
involved
in
the
actual,
permitting
and
construction
of
activities,
not
just
at
the
Garden
City
Center,
but
throughout
all
the
holdings
that
the
wilder
company
and
is
involved
in
throughout
the
country.
We
also
have
great
Guglielmo
from
debride
engineering
who's,
not
playing
out
speaking,
but
is
available
as
a
resource.
O
O
Member
members
of
the
council
mayor
have
shared
with
me
and
guard
the
city
interesting
comments
and
concerns
expressed
by
some
people
who
are
Natalie
in
the
room
this
evening,
but
other
residents.
We
made
a
good-faith
attempt
to
communicate
all
of
them.
We
had
the
pleasure
of
meeting
with
numerous
people
over
the
last
week
to
try
an
one
on
one
basis,
talk
about
their
concerns
and
kind
of
what
the
philosophy
of
this
ordinance
is.
We
were
able
to
do
that,
and
we
want
to
thank
the
council
for
allowing
us
to
engage
those
people.
O
We
certainly
want
to
thank
the
residents
who
were
nice
enough
to
make
time
out
of
their
busy
days
to
speak
to
us.
This
discussion,
hopefully,
was
enlightening
for
everybody
on
both
sides
and
I've
tried
to
keep
the
council
informed
as
to
issues
that
were
discussed.
I
know
that
you
have
all
received
over
the
last
several
days
by
way
of
email,
a
letter
from
the
Planning
Director
about
the
future
steps
that
would
have
to
be
taken
for
any
development
in
topic
center.
O
This
is
not
the
beginning
and
the
end
of
anything
nobody's
giving
us
a
blank
check
to
do
anything
I.
Provided
you
a
series
of
questions
and
answers
to
try
and
encapsulate
all
the
comments
that
the
theme
of
the
comments
that
we
received
from
neighbors
I'm,
trying
on
paper,
establish
our
response
for
your
edification
and
we
just
tried
to
be
certain
to
be
responsive
wherever
possible.
I
want
to
thank
again
all
the
elected
officials
and
the
residents
who
are
willing
to
share
their
thoughts
with
us,
but
that,
mr.
president,
it
is
mr.
O
Thomas
Wilder,
although,
while
accompanies
he
would
just
like
to
give
a
broad
overview
of
the
philosophy
behind
this
ordinance
he's.
Probably
the
one
gentleman
who
is
as
responsible
for
the
vision
of
the
Garden
City
Center.
What's
happened
over
the
last
78
years
since
Garden
City's
been
reincarnated
and
he
will
be
at
the
teller
of
any
future
development
that
we
move
forward
with
mr.
Wilder.
P
What
we
were
thinking
about-
and
you
know
at
the
time
we
had
a
vacant
linens
a
vacant
circuit
and
we
knew
borders,
wasn't
gonna
make
it
and
we
had
about
another
50,000
square
feet
of
vacancy,
and
we
said
to
the
mayor:
we're
gonna
bring
in
cratenbarrel
l.l.bean,
Pottery,
Barn,
j.crew
and
Lululemon,
and
he
said
really
so
he
chuckled
a
little
bit
and
I
said
no.
We
believe
that
that's
the
opportunity
here.
We
think
it's
gonna
take
some
time,
but
we
think
we
can
actually
out
position
Providence
place
because
we
have
the
gem
in
the
marketplace.
P
We
have
the
the
open
air
iconic
destination,
that's
fallen
on
difficult
times,
but
it's
still
got
great
bones.
It
still
has
a
great
location,
it's
still
a
tremendous
community
and
we
think,
given
time
and
support
from
the
community
and
from
the
local
government
that
we
could
accomplish
that,
and
it
probably
took
a
little
bit
longer
than
we'd
hoped
it
kind
of
went
through
a
little
Great
Recession
in
between,
but
I
think,
we've
been
very,
very
successful.
P
The
senator
today
is
thriving
and
that's
despite
what's
going
on
in
a
very
tumultuous
retail
world,
everybody
reads
about
Macy's,
closing
stores,
Dillard's,
closing
stores,
Saks
hurting
Macy's
and
Kmart
and
Sears,
and
so
we're
seeing
it
every
day
the
impact
on
both
the
department
stores
in
the
small
stores
and
what
we're
trying
to
do
and
what
we're
trying
to
do
with
this
overlay
district
just
think
about
all
right.
What
happens
over
the
ten
years?
How
do
we
insulate
ourselves?
How
do
we
continue
to
evolve?
P
Because
if
we
don't
evolve,
you
get
hurt
and
we
saw
that
back
in
early
two-thousands,
Garden
City
did
not
evolve
and
it
got
hurt.
So
the
next
round
is
alright
as
we're
so
negative
about
not
so
negative
about
retail,
but
we
think
the
amount
of
retail
space
is
gonna,
be
shrinking
nationally
over
the
next
10
years.
P
So
that's
really.
What
we
set
out
to
try
to
do
here
is
create
this
framework
to
allow
us
to
think
about
those
changes.
We
don't
have
any
plans
today
for
a
hotel
or
a
hundred-foot
building
or
residential
on
Midway.
This
was
really
just
a
thoughtful
approach
to
have
you
know
for
the
next
10
years.
Can
we
be
thinking
about
where
the
opportunities
may
be
to
add
value,
to
enhance
what
is
this
gem
and
honestly?
We
do
not
want
to
mess
with
what
we've
done,
because
we've
done
a
very
good
job
and
it's
really
doing
well.
P
What
we
want
to
do
is
try
to
add
some
of
those
components,
some
of
those
pieces
that
will
help
it
to
continue
its
maintain
its
vitality
in
the
marketplace,
and
so
that's
really
its
really
the
goal
here.
What
I
think
maybe
there's
a
little
bit
misconception
because
I've
done
this
a
bunch
of
times.
We
just
did
this
up
in
Boston,
where
we
went
through
a
an
overlay
district
and
what
people
need
to
realize.
It
is
that
this
is
a
this
is
a
zoning
overlay.
P
It
doesn't
give
us
as
of
right,
there's
a
very
still
a
very
rigid,
permitting
process
that
we're
gonna
have
to
go
through
and
we
have
fully
expect.
If
we
come
back
and
say
you
know
ten
years
from
now
or
five
now
we
want
to
do
a
a
70-foot
building.
We
better
have
our
ducks
in
a
row
to
say
why
and
it
better
be
beautiful
and
it
better
be
iconic,
but
we
gonna
have
to
be
able
to
support
that,
and
we
know
we're
gonna
have
to
go
through
that
rigorous
process.
P
So
again,
we're
not
here
to
say
that
we're
prepared
to
do
any
of
these
right
away.
What
we
want
to
be
prepared
to
do
is
give
us
the
ability
to
think
about
this,
because
I
think
people
ask
well
why
don't
you
just
come
and
ask,
and
you
can
get
it
getting.
You
know,
get
a
variance,
but
you
know
variance
process
is
very,
very
difficult.
P
Anybody
any
developer
will
tell
you
that
to
spend
the
time
and
energy
to
plan
to
say:
oh
I
want
it
when
you
have
a
35
foot
height
and
you
want
to
do
a
45
foot
building,
it
takes
a
tremendous
amount
of
time
and
energy
and
commitment
and
a
lot
of
developers
will
just
pass
on
that
ability
in
you
and
honestly.
If
we're
trying
to
attract
a
hotel
or
a
residential
developer,
you
know
they're
not
going
to
come
along
for
the
ride
as
they.
Oh,
we
think
we
can
get
the
variance
this.
P
This
allows
us
to
create
that
framework
again
to
think
about
those
uses
in
those
opportunities.
So
let
me
I
wanted
to
just
hit
right
on
just
a
couple
of
things:
the
height
you
know
my
father
always
said
to
me,
because
he
was
he's
a
developer
as
well,
and
he
said,
look
Tom
just
tell
the
truth.
That
way,
you
don't
have
to
remember
what
you
said
and
I
thought.
That
was
great,
so
they
tell
the
truth.
I
don't
know
if
a
hundred
feet
is
the
right
height.
P
I
do
know
that
if
we
come
back
and
say
we
think
it
is
we're,
gonna
have
to
again
prove
it
and
show
that
it's
the
right
height
that
it
fits
within
the
context
of
the
existing
center.
So
I,
don't
know
if
that's
exact,
you
know,
I
could
tell
you
building
a
hundred
years
is
very
expensive.
I
mean
today.
You
know.
Hotels
are
coming
in
at
five
at
six
stories,
because
that's
you
can
do.
P
P
Midway
I
have
I,
have
a
thing
about
Midway
I
think
that's
a
terrible
gateway
to
both
the
community
into
our
shopping
center
and
I've
always
said
to
Joe.
Look
anytime.
We
get
an
opportunity,
upgrade
Midway
I'd
like
to
do
that,
and
we're
trying
to
activate
the
edges.
We're
trying
to
activate
the
post-office
area
create
some
additional
retail
spaces
there.
You
know
we
have
this
really
just
kind
of
lonesome
parking
lot
out
there.
P
That
right
now
is
being
used
and
I
can't
say
we
could
give
it
up
right
away
because
the
post
office
uses
it
some
of
our
office.
Tenants,
use
it,
but
again,
thinking
longer
term
to
me,
I'd
love
to
activate
that
Street
and
activating
that
Street
says
to
me.
You
know
build
something:
likes
happened
behind
us
with
the
school
that
you
know.
Two
three
stories
activate
the
edges:
bring
some
landscaping
make
it
feel
more
of
it
of
a
gateway
which
is
really
what
it's
become.
It's
no
lie:
it's
not
a
cut
through.
P
We
have
a
lot
of
our
customers
who
use
that
as
an
entrance
I
mean
we
know
a
lot
of
the
residential
folks
use
that
to
enter
the
neighborhood
as
well.
So
we
think
that's
a
very
positive
thing
and
we
are
limited
by
the
way
we
are
limited
to
I.
Think
it's
three
stories
above
perhaps
ground
floor
retail
I,
don't
ever
see
ground
floor,
retail
there,
honestly
again,
the
height
and
the
scale
is
meant
to
be
in
keeping
with
other
developments
around
this
parking
deck.
Honestly
I
know
there
were
concerns
about
a
parking
deck.
P
Honestly,
that's
the
last
thing
we
want
to
do
parking
decks
are
incredibly
expensive
and
actually
the
world's
going
the
opposite
way.
Because
of
autonomous
cars,
Zipcar
uber,
we
were
actually
seeing
parking
requirements
being
reduced
and
especially
when
you
start
to
add
residential
on
your
site,
you're
reducing
the
number
of
trips
for
those
residents.
So
again,
it
was
something
we
felt
we
might
want.
We
might
need
if
we
say
we
wanted
to
build
something.
P
There
was
a
small
podium
or
the
parking
deck
or
if
we
wanted
to
bury
some
parking,
we
felt
it
wasn't
clear
whether
we
had
that
right
or
not
so
again,
they're
very
expensive
they're,
not
the
most
attractive
things.
It's
probably
the
last
thing
we
want
to
do,
but
again
this
was
about
building
in
flexibility,
so
I
I.
Thank
you
for
for
listening
to
me
and
I'm,
hoping
that
we'll
get
some
great
feedback
and
I
really
appreciate
the
love
and
care
that
people
feel
for
this
shopping
center.
The
loyalty,
it's
amazing.
O
Mr.
president,
just
with
very
briefly
if
I
could
just
highlight
some
of
the
technical
aspects
in
the
ordinance,
because
there
are
people
here
who
weren't
at
the
ordinance
committee
I
won't
take
long,
but
as
Tom
said,
this
ordinance
was
intended
to
be
a
template,
a
framework
for
future
consideration
for
the
shopping
center.
He
was
very
candid
in
terms
of
you
know:
timing.
There
is.
O
And
I
think
most
people
that
met
with
us
understand
this-
we're
not
here
today
with
any
concrete
plans,
but,
unlike
other
other
overlay
districts,
your
predecessor
councils
have
approved
in
the
area
for
the
training
school,
a
Citizens
Bank
building.
You
did
those
rightfully
so
in
my
opinion,
because
they
were
appropriate
for
an
overlay
district,
but
you
did
it
with
a
lot
less
information
that
we
have
today.
The
you
know
when
Addison
you
to
take
us
on
faith.
O
You
know
our
promise
to
do
something:
I'm
asking
you
to
look
at
the
49
acres
of
land,
look
at
the
500,000
square
feet
of
building,
and
if
you
want
to
know
what
the
future
is
going
to
look
like,
we
have
a
proven
product
and
that's
what
we
hope
the
residents
and
the
council
will
recognize
is
that
we
have
an
established
track
record
and
nobody,
the
ownership.
The
management
of
this
Center
is
going
to
do
anything
to
jeopardize
this
I.
O
You
know
I'm
a
big
football
fan.
We
all
know
the
Patriots
won
the
Super
Bowl.
You
don't
see
this.
The
Super
Bowl
champions
announcing
they're,
making
major
wholesale
changes
to
their
organization.
What
they're
doing
is
they're
gonna
be
fine-tuning,
making
refinements
making
some
small
changes,
but
the
they're
the
paradigm
of
football
organizations
you
just
don't
throw
that
out
the
out
the
window.
When
you
win
a
Super
Bowl,
we
have
the
paradigm
of
shopping
centers
in
the
Northeast.
O
We
have
something
that
members
of
this
council,
the
mayor,
refers
to
as
a
jewel
members
of
the
community
refer
the
jewel.
Why,
in
god's
name,
would
we
do
anything
to
put
that
at
risk?
We're
asking
to
work
with
us
in
the
future
and
we
will
we
will
promise?
We
will
deliver
on
our
promise
to
make
it
even
a
more
iconic
shopping
center.
There
is.
This
is
not
a
blank
check
nobody's
asking
for
cop
punch.
Do
anything
tonight
or,
as
mr.
Wilde
said,
we're
asking
for
framework.
Mr.
O
la
polla
planning
director
last
week
circulated
a
letter
to
the
council
detailing
three
pages:
the
types
of
approval
processes
we
would
have
to
go
through
in
order
to
do
anything
going
forward.
I'm
not
talking
about
a
small
change
of
a
facade
of
a
building
I'm
talking
about
anything
that
is
considered
a
major
land
development
has
to
go
through
the
Planning
Commission.
O
It
has
to
go
through
public
hearings,
public
comment
notice
to
abutters
advertisements,
so
we're
not
going
to
sneak
in
some
50,000
square
foot
building
without
people
knowing
about,
and
we
welcome
that
public
process
beyond
the
Planning
Commission.
The
city
has
a
development
plan
review
committee,
which
requires
the
ordinance
sets
forth
detailed
requirements,
so
the
city
departments
can
review
any
plans
that
we
have
to
do
if
we
get
through
all
that
and
this
in
this
public
notice
to
a
butters
I'm
in
that
process.
O
If
we
get
through
that,
we
then
have
to
go
through
a
building
permit
process
with
meeting
the
building
Co
fire
codes,
Public,
Works
and
everything
else.
So
tonight
is
not
the
last
step
of
the
future
of
development
of
Garden
City.
It's
barely
the
beginning.
I
think
that
there
is
so
I
want
to
make
certain
that
everybody
understands
we're
not
asking
you
to.
You
know
you
tonight
you're
not
signing
off
us
popping
up
hundred
foot
buildings
all
over
the
place.
That's
not
gonna
happen.
O
O
So
you
know
we're
all
invested
in
this,
but
the
ordinance
itself
is
just
a
broad
overlay
which
sets
forth
some
specifics
in
terms
of
land
uses
the
major
there
I'm
not
going
to
list
all
the
new
ones
because
most
of
them
are
incidental,
but
you
know,
obviously
the
major
one
is
introducing
multi-family
residential
use
into
the
into
the
center
at
some
point
in
the
future,
as
tom
said
so.
The
people
who
may
want
to
live
there
and
shop
there
produce
so
I
was
involved
in
the
st.
Mark's
school
project.
O
I
think
everybody
acknowledges
that
came
out
very
nice.
The
old
school
has
20
units,
the
new
building
has
29
and
it
was
absolutely
a
nice
transition
between
the
shopping
center
in
the
shopping
center.
You
finished
shopping
center
in
the
neighborhood.
The
the
uses
that
we're
talking
about
here.
Most
of
them
are,
you
know,
not
a
concern.
We
listed
the
parking
structure
we
this
is
the
parking
structure.
Just
so
there'll
be
no
confusion
that
we
could
do
one.
If
you
ask
the
building
official
the
administration
today,
we
could
do
a
parking
structure.
O
Today
we
were
transparent,
we
put
it
in
the
schedule
of
uses
and
we're
hoping
that
the
council
will
see
fit
to
allow
us
to
do
that
with
respect
to
dimensional
regulations,
we're
gonna
abide
by
all
the
regulations
for
the
longest
stablish
c3
zoning
that
we
have,
except
where
it
differs
within
this
ordinance.
So
the
major
one
is
the
is
the
the
height
as
Tom
expressed
we're
just
looking
for
us.
You
know
a
maximum
that
we
could
work
towards
or
work.
O
You
know
you
know,
no,
that
that
would
be
permitted,
but
there
are
built-in
protections
here
that
the
Planning
Department
required
the
taller.
You
go,
the
further
the
setbacks
have
to
be
from
residential
uses.
So
there
this
is
not
a
you
know,
just
go
and
build
100-foot
building
and
we're
not
you
know
we're
not
some
of
the
neighbors
thought
we
were
perhaps
gonna
add
flaws
on
to
the
village
buildings
near
my
office.
O
I
mean
the
building's
wooden
structure
which
wouldn't
support
that,
and
why
would
you
take
away
from
this
beautiful
village
concept
with
these
stores
that
are
one
one
and
a
half
stories?
That's
not
the
plan.
We
are
asking
permission
to
have
a
drive-through
window
if
one
of
our
retailers
or
restaurants
wanted
to
do
that.
We're
not
talking
about
plopping
down
a
drive-through
restaurant
in
the
middle
of
a
shopping
center.
You
know,
first
of
all
it
would
take
away
from
the
center.
It
would
cause
problems
with
our
existing
tenants.
O
Our
parking
field
we're
talking
about
you
know
if
we
wanted
to
put
a
drive-through
window
on
an
end
cap,
perhaps
for
a
future
tenant.
We
might
be
able
to
do
that.
There's
been
considerable
discussion
about
signage.
The
big
one
is
the
electric
the
electronic
display
sign
up
on
New
London
Avenue.
Everybody
knows
that's
an
old,
antiquated,
rustic,
rustic
structure.
O
We've
asked
permission
here
to
convert
that
to
a
high-quality,
high-definition
sign
the
ordinance
the
Planning
Department
made
us
build
in
very
specific
requirements
when
it
can
operate
automatic
dimming
controls,
it's
going
to
be
stayed
in
the
art,
but
it's
not
as
joe
says
we're
not
going
to
be
shooting
fireworks,
dancing
bears
dancing
reindeer
on
the
side.
That's
not
going
to
happen.
An
image
will
come
up
with
one
and
it's
only
for
our
stores.
We
can't
advertise
off-site
tasks
afford
or
anybody
else.
O
It's
only
for
the
shopping
center
and
there's
specific
hours
of
operation
when
we
could
do
it
and
then
we,
the
last
part
of
the
ordinance,
just
updates
the
signage
ordinance,
so
that
particular
in
the
area
of
wall
signage
--is.
It
brings
us
in
line
with
most
other
communities
and
what
the
stands
are.
The
last
thing,
the
ordinance
does
talk
a
little
bit
about
parking
standards.
O
O
Finally,
just
discuss
just
some
of
the
comments
that
we've
received
from
neighbors
they've
heard
this
with
you
a
question
and
answer
sheet
today,
but
I've
already
gone
over,
you
know
nobody's
giving
us
a
blank
check.
People
want
to
know
where
you're
gonna
put
a
hotel.
We
don't
have
a
hotel
to
build,
but,
as
Tom
would
tell
you,
the
hotel
has
to
make
sense.
It
has
to
make
sense
in
terms
of
location
within
the
center.
We
not
only
have
to
make
certain
that
we
attract
new
good
tenants
of
the
center.
O
We,
we
are
very
concerned
about
our
existing
tax.
So
not
only
are
the
residents
invested
in
the
center,
we
have
existing
tenants
with
leases
that
we
have
to
make
certain
they
thrive
and
they
they're
happy
with
anything.
We
do
the
Midway
Road
discussion
that
we've
heard
I
understand.
If
you
live
along
Poplar
Drive
you're
wondering
what
would
happen
there.
We
we
could
build
commercial
buildings
there.
Today
we
haven't
done
that
and
we
have
no
plans
to
the
Planning
Department
and
the
Planning
Commission
said
you
know.
O
If
there's
going
to
be
future
development
there,
we
prefer
that
it
be
residential,
and
so
we
put
in
the
ordinance
that
we
could
only
have
three
floors
of
living
space
similar
to
what
the
new
Garden
City
Building
regards
to
the
apartments
on
the
old
asphalt
of
the
school
property
is
we'd
have
to
make
meet
certain
setbacks,
and
that's
that's
a
consideration.
Everybody
has
to
understand.
We.
O
We
are
giving
up
something
here,
but
we're
willing
to
do
it
because
not
only
we
were
trying
to
cooperate
with
the
city,
but
it
makes
sense
and
it
fits
into
the
character
of
what
we're
trying
to
do.
The
last
issue
I
just
want
to
talk
about
is
because
the
question/answer
speak
for
themselves
is
that
you
know
some
of
these
new
uses,
we're
introducing
I,
think
Tom
explained
it.
O
They
are
intended
to
accentuate
what's
there
today
and
if
you
like,
the
Garden
City
Shopping
Center
today
I
encourage
everybody
to
embrace
this
ordinance
to
work
with
us,
so
the
dialogue
can
continue
with
the
community
and
we
will
have
a
framework
to
know
where
we
can
go
over
the
next
five
to
ten
years,
nothing's
going
to
I
some
of
the
neighbors
as
we
met
last
week.
You
know
change
to
this
shopping
center
come
slowly.
You
can
opt
for
economic
reasons,
but
you
can't
change
this
shopping
center
overnight.
It's
like
turning
in
an
aircraft
carrier.
O
O
Lost
my
train
of
thought,
I
oppose
it.
The
last
thing
I
want
to
say
is
that
there
is
a
chance
here
to
be
part
of
something
very
special
and
use
the
the
administration
that
counsel
in
the
passage
supportive
Garden
City,
the
residents
of
support
of
Garden
City.
The
last
thing
we
want
to
do
is
being
intrusive
to
anybody.
Our
shoppers
live
in
the
Garden
City
area
personally
on
traffic
and
that's
the
last
topic
I
want
to
mention
on
traffic.
We
heard
concerns
about
shocking
us
at
crossroads.
O
We
acknowledge
that
there
are
times
during
the
day
and
during
the
year
traffic
on
Psychonauts
across
roads
can
be
heavy.
We
in
some
small
part
contribute
to
that.
Our
our
traffic
is
a
little
different,
because
we
have
so
many
points
of
egress
and
ingress.
We
kind
of
get
dispersed
onto
Garden
City
Drive
near
London,
a
view
onto
Midway,
Road,
hillside
Road,
so
yeah
we
were
fortunate.
In
that
way,
there
are,
there
is
going
to
be
future
development
across
the
street
on
sake.
Nausicaa,
we're
not
involved
in
we've
urge
the
City
Planning
Department.
O
O
There
needs
to
be
an
intellectual
approach
here,
and
everybody
has
to
understand
what's
being
proposed,
how
it
can
impact
traffic,
and
the
last
thing
you
want
to
do
is
make
it
worse
for
me
personally,
as
a
property
owner
in
the
city
and
someone
very
familiar
to
center
I
think
when
the
Citizens
Bank
building
empties
in
that
year
and
moves
to
Johnson
the
whole
character
of
the
it's
going
to
change.
And
then
the
test
will
be
for
this
council
in
this
administration.
O
What
will
happen
with
the
Future
Citizens
Bank
building,
and
how
will
that
impact
personally
I
think
it's
going
to
be
a
less
intrusive
as
they
parking
about
retail
and
residential,
but
we're
now
sitting
here
with
blind
design.
The
soccer
Nasik
garages
is
not
an
issue
when
you
get
down
to
the
Pontiac
Avenue
interchange,
something
has
to
happen
there
and
so
we're
happy
to
be
part
of
the
discussion.
Everything
we've
done.
O
We've
produced
traffic
studies
to
convince
the
city
agencies
that,
when
that
we
weren't
negatively
impacting
anything
further
and
we'll
continue
to
do
that,
and
the
last
point
that
I
want
to
make
Kelly
Burke
told
me
this.
The
other
day
everybody
thinks
Garden.
City
has
really
come
back
over
the
last
seven
to
eight
years
in
the
five
hundred
thousand
square
feet
of
space
that
we
have
we've
added
thirteen
thousand
square
feet
in
the
last
seven
eight
years,
principally
the
Pottery
Barn
and
J
Crew.
Building
next
to
a
vo,
the
LA
Fitness
building
was
replacing
the
kind.
O
If
you
took
them,
the
board
is
down,
but
everything
else
has
been
done
in
Garden,
City
has
been
working
with
the
existing
facades.
The
next
phase
that's
already
been
committed,
and
that's
that's
that
that
would
be.
The
next
thing
people
see
is
the
space
between
Newport
Creamery.
In
the
Bank
of
America,
we
took
down
the
8,000
square
foot
building
on
hillside
road
there,
where
we're,
putting
up
a
new
230
thousand
two
buildings
comprised
of
30,000
square
feet.
O
Garden
City
was
proud
to
announce
last
week
that
legal
si
bar
collective
legal
seafoods
will
be
one
of
the
anchor
tenants
in
that
new
building,
but
there
will
be
some
other
restaurants
coming
forward
and
some
of
the
retail
uses
we
had
us.
We
that
that
didn't
happen
overnight.
We
had
to
go
to
the
Planning
Commission
the
develop
plan
review
for
me,
because
that
that
was
that
project
was
large
enough
to
do
that,
and
so
anything
going
forward
that
we've
been
talking
about
will
will
have
to
be
reviewed.
I.
Thank
you
is
the
president.
O
We're
staying
here.
I
will
try
and
keep
track
of
questions
or
comments.
If
you
choose
the
couch
chooses
for
us
to
try,
we
happen
to
do,
though.
I
do
want
to
thank
the
public
for
their
patience
and
I
and
the
council
for
allowing
us
to
at
least
try
and
put
out
on
an
abbreviated
presentation
like
we
did
the
or
that's
good.
Thank
you.
Q
Q
Seventeen
point
two
four
point:
zero
three
zero
license:
cultivators
as
I
read
the
ordinance.
It
seemed
that
there
were
many
provisions
for
what
could
possibly
be
a
substance
that
we
could
see
outside
the
building
makes
provisions
for
blacked-out
windows
secured
shipping
areas
and
the
like
security
lighting
and
the
like,
and
there
were
a
couple
of
issues
with
respect
to
odor
control.
Okay-
and
you
know,
I
I
can
imagine
what
the
cultivators
will
be
cultivating
there.
It
doesn't
state
it
anywhere
in
the
ordinance.
However,
my
concern
is
is
basically
twofold.
Q
The
first
concern
that
I
have
is
that
any
adverse
effects
from
this
cultivation
facility.
It's
clearly
states
that
the
adverse
effects
can't
permeate
beyond
the
walls
of
the
building
that
it's
in,
but
it
makes
no
provision
for
if
this
facility
is
in
an
industrial
condominium,
development
or
rented
space
in
an
old
milk
makes
none
whatsoever.
So
those
other
tenants
in
that
building
have
the
same
protections
as
those
people
that
are
outside
the
building.
Okay,
there
was
one
other
issue.
The
other
issue
was
on
drawing
on
my
experience
as
an
individual.
Q
Q
I
was
just
curious
if
the
State
Department
of
Health
food
safety
regulation
was
contacted
regarding
this
ordinance
and
then,
if
need
be,
that
the
ordinance
be
amended
such
that's
to
give
protection
to
those
people
that
want
to
open
a
food
handling,
business
wholesale
and
the
like,
and
those
are
the
extent
of
my
comments.
Thank
You.
Mr.
president,
Thank
You
members
of
the
council,
Thank.
S
Evening,
mr.
president,
honorable
council
members
Paul
voted
with
the
president
critics
of
firefighters,
we're
in
favor
of
the
resolution
before
you
tonight
on
police
fire
residency.
We
came
before
you
a
few
months
ago.
We
had
a
couple
of
diversity,
meetings
and
I
think
we
were
all
in
all
an
agreement
that
we'd
like
to
be
a
little
more
diverse
on
the
cranes
to
fire
department.
S
We
told
you
what
the
problems
were:
it's
because
our
numbers
of
people
applying
for
the
job
are
in
the
hundreds
they're
down
in
the
hundreds
which
which
impacts
how
many
minorities
and
women
sign
up
so
I'm,
not
sure.
If
all
the
reasons
we
brought
forward
to
you
on,
what's
causing
the
numbers
to
dwindle
down,
I'm,
not
sure
we'll
ever
know
what
the
numbers
why
the
numbers
are
dwindling.
S
This
might
be
a
step
in
the
right
direction
that
we
open
it
up
to
people
that
are
out
of
state
that
want
to
come
in
and
be
cranston
firefighters,
and
that's
that's
strictly
why
this
is
in
and
that's
strictly.
Why
we're?
In
favor
of
it,
it's
gonna
open
the
pool,
we're
the
only
fire
department
in
the
state
of
rhode
island
that
yet
you
have
to
live
in
the
state
of
what
I
want
to
be
a
firefighter.
Everybody
else
has
no
residency
requirement.
So
that's
why
we're
a
favor
of
it?
T
Good
evening
I'll
Rob
it
Santa
gotta
president
Cranston
police,
IVP.
Oh
look
what
the
real
one
all
sort
of
stuff
Mira,
we'll
all
the
lettuce
said,
we're
also
in
favor
of
this
bill.
This
job
is
hard
enough
trying
to
get
people
to
recruit
to
it
nowadays
or
what
goes
on
in
the
world.
We
just
feel
that
we
need
to
open
up
the
application
pool
to
outside
of
the
state
and
as
far
as
police
departments
in
the
state,
we
are
also
the
only
Police
Department
in
the
state
that
requires
a
residency
to
the
state.
T
It's
kind
of
you
know,
asinine
that
you
can
live
in
Block,
Island
and
work
here,
but
you
can't
live
in
Seekonk,
so
I
know
over
the
years.
The
training
lieutenant
is
also
here
that
there's
been
documented
cases
where
minority
recruits
have
turned
the
job
down
because
they
do
live,
Seekonk
Attleboro,
north,
not
Oboro,
and
they
you
know
22
years
old,
living
at
home.
They
don't
want
to
leave
mom
and
dad
yet
they're,
not
ready
to
to
come,
live
in
Rhode
Island
to
say
that
they
won't
eventually
move
here.
I'm
sure,
that's
always
a
possibility.
T
U
I've
got
a
few
words
to
say
about
the
shopping
center
plans,
proposal
and
I'm.
Sorry
I
have
to
almost
read
it
because
I'm,
not
a
public
speaker,
but
the
Garden
City
management
said
it
themselves
and
their
brochure
that
it's
all
about
the
drawer
and
one
quote
from
that
brochure
is
Garden.
City
is
not
only
the
most
popular
Center
in
Rhode
Island,
it's
drawing
visitors
from
Massachusetts
and
Connecticut
as
well.
It's
not
just
a
shopping
trip.
It's
an
experience
that
keeps
people
coming
back
time
and
again.
U
You
know
well
that
the
first
of
the
state
plans
for
a
hundred-foot
buildings
and
changed
the
entire
atmosphere
and
I
know
you're,
saying
you:
don't
really
have
any
plans
400
feet,
but
frankly,
for
those
of
us
living
in
the
hollow
below
the
shopping
center,
the
current
35
feet.
It's
can
seem
high
a
couple
things
about
the
environment.
I'm
gonna
want
to
go
back
to
the
plans.
U
The
runoff
is
still
a
big
problem
in
the
area,
not
just
from
Garden
City
but
from
the
area
south
of
sucking
us
a
crossroad
and
the
more
paved
over
the
general
area
becomes
the
worst.
What
program
would
be
I'm
sure
other
people
will
speak
to
the
traffic
situation.
It's
bad
now
canonical.
That's
the
issue
that
I
hear
the
most,
and
that
is
not
necessarily
of
guarding
a
city
plan
problem.
U
I,
certainly
understand
the
developers
need
to
stay
competitive
and
ever-changing
market.
Perhaps
they
need
to
be
free
to
consider
apartments
and
offices
and
even
a
hotel
in
their
planning,
but
the
Garden
City
development
area,
which
abuts
residences,
is
very
different
from
the
commercial
areas
on
the
south
side
of
Saturn
as
a
crossroad
which
do
not
apply
residences,
and
it
should
not
be
treated
the
same
way.
U
N
V
Even
with
that
good
evening,
mock
free,
born
171,
Glen,
Hills,
Drive
I
come
here
to
voice
what
Robert
Santa
God
are
also
said
in
regards
to
support
the
resolution
for
the
residency
requirement.
Waiving
the
residency
requirement
for
police
inquire
I've
been
a
member
of
the
police
department
for
the
last
22
years,
the
last
eight
years
of
that
my
health,
a
position
of
recruitment
and
training.
My
emphasis
is
here
to
express
to
you
how
we
are
losing
candidates
due
to
the
fact
that
we
candidates
do
not
want
to
move
from
their
established
residences
outside
the
state.
V
An
example
of
this
was
a
2013
recruitment,
drive
a
recruitment
effort.
We
had
a
long,
painstaking
recruitment
which
we
had
over.
500
applicants
apply
for
the
police
department
through
the
testing
process.
We
whittled
that
down
to
a
list
of
70
applicants
for
future
to
fill
future
vacancies
for
the
police
department
when
it
came
down
to
it
on
number
one
overall
candidate
who
was
lucky
enough
to
also
be
a
police
officer
in
the
state
of
Connecticut,
went
through
the
process.
V
Lastly,
the
pool
of
police
applicants
in
this
day
and
age,
with
law
enforcement
being
under
scrutiny.
The
way
that
it
is
is
becoming
more
and
more
dwindled
down.
More
and
more
departments
are
looking
at
the
same
pool
of
applicants.
We
are
losing
applicants
to
the
cities
of
Pawtucket
the
towns
of
East,
Providence
Seekonk
other
agencies.
V
However,
someone
that
lives
seven
miles
away
in
Seekonk
and
would
probably
take
him
about
eight
minutes
without
traffic
to
get
to
headquarters
and
that
candidate
is
not
eligible
to
be
hired
as
a
police
officer.
So
I
just
want
to
echo
or,
like
I,
said
what
Roberts
Anegada
said
in
regards
to
the
residency
resolution.
I
think
it's
time
now
to
also
look
at
waiving
that
and
having
the
opportunity
to
broaden
our
base
and
in
pool
applicants
that
may
only
reside
a
short
distance
over
over
state
lines.
Thank
you.
W
Good
evening,
council
members,
mr.
president,
this
evening
will
be
the
turning
point
literally
for
the
garden
city
center,
as
we
know
it,
as
well
as
its
neighboring
communities.
Most
residents
refer
to
the
center
as
a
gem
or
a
jewel
in
the
midst
of
our
neighborhood.
We
all
believe
that
the
center
has
been
a
good
neighbor
these
past
years
and
has
served
us
well.
The
center
has
evolved
into
a
desirable
shopping
and
eating
destination
for
many
people
throughout
Rhode
Island
Massachusetts
in
Connecticut.
W
The
rectangular
parking
area
on
Midway
Road,
the
abutters
of
this
property,
are
those
that
reside
on
Poplar
Drive
and
in
the
area
known
as
the
hollows
lot
number
693
is
at
a
much
higher
level
evasion
than
those
residential
lots
and,
if
developed
with
a
multi-level
structure
along
with
the
removal
of
trees,
abutting,
their
property
would
ultimately
have
a
negative
effect
on
property
values
in
that
area.
This
potential
development
would
include
noise
pollution
dust
in
dirt,
as
well
as
night
glare
from
security
lighting,
as
one
of
the
abutters
stated.
W
Imagine
that
being
able
to
open
your
windows
for
two
years.
Another
element
of
this
ordinance
is
the
potential
for
the
change
in
building
height,
which
may
be
allowed
in
the
center
LA
Fitness
received
a
variance
to
change
its
building
height
from
35
feet
to
just
under
40
feet.
To
avoid
the
need
for
such
variances,
the
ordinance
proposes
a
maximum
height
of
100
feet.
Although
the
building
of
such
a
structure
may
never
occur,
and
I
do
remain
skeptical
about
that
fact.
The
opportunity
would
exist
for
this
type
of
structure
at
some
point
in
the
future.
W
Unfortunately,
the
ordinance
is
open-ended
and
vague
as
to
what
type
of
expansion
could
or
would
take
place.
I
feel
this
ordinance
gives
the
owners
of
a
center
free
rein
to
erect
whatever
structure
they
deem
necessary
to
stay
relevant
in
the
retail
arena.
Could
I
build
a
five-story
structure
in
my
backyard?
W
Could
I
have
a
horse
lazily
grazing
on
my
front
lawn?
No,
and
no
as
a
good
citizen,
I
abide
by
those
laws,
as
they
pertain
to
my
present,
my
residential
property,
to
turn
the
center
into
a
mixed-use
venture
with
the
possibility
of
lodging
a
parking
garage
in
residential
units
would
drastically
change
the
ambience
and
ultimately
add
to
our
traffic
concerns.
W
We
all
know
that
the
current
traffic
patterns
do
not
support
the
amount
of
vehicular
traffic
on
Sacre
Nasik
cross
road
in
Pontiac
Avenue.
Many
residents
have
expressed
concern
about
the
increase
in
traffic
in
their
neighborhoods,
particularly
Cypress
Drive
plantation
Drive,
in
Garden
City
Drive.
In
my
opinion,
the
owners
of
both
Chapel
View
and
Garden
City
Center,
as
well
as
the
city
of
Cranston,
have
literally
ignored
this
colossal
problem.
W
You
will
hear
a
combination
of
voices
this
evening,
whether
a
favor
of
or
opposition
to
this
amendment,
ultimately
the
most
significant
voices
we
hear
will
be
yours
when
you
consider
your
decision
tonight.
Please
keep
in
mind
that
you
sit
before
us
because
your
constituents
chose
you.
We
did
so
because
we
believed
you
would
do
everything
in
your
power
to
protect
and
support
the
residents
living
in
your
appointed
Ward's
prove
to
us
that
our
votes
were
not
in
vain.
A
W
A
So
there
are
a
lot
of
people
here
to
speak
tonight,
so
I'm
gonna,
bang
the
gavel
three
times
very
lately
when
you
hit
four
minutes.
If
you
hear
that
I'm
gonna
allow
you
to
finish
your
comments
and,
and
that
way
we
can
just
keep
moving
along
when
you
hear
the
gavel
bang
three
times
lately.
That
means
you've
hit
four
finish
up
your
your
statements
and
kind
of
wrap
it
down
for
us,
Roberts
and
Tory.
X
X
Santara
jr.
30,
Egan,
Road
right
off
pocket
good
evening
council
president
Farina
and
fellow
councilmen
I'm
speaking
golf
I've
been
hearing
about
an
hour
and
a
half
now
so
I'm
gonna
be
hit
a
lot
of
points
here,
especially
what
I
heard
earlier
first
off
I
think
the
big
reason
I
heard
dialogue
with
the
community
I
think.
The
big
reason
why
everyone
is
behind
me
tonight
is
because
I
didn't
really
feel
like
there
was
a
dialogue
in
his
process.
X
I
feel
like
a
lot
of
them
felt
like
this
is
the
first
time
they
heard
about
was
in
the
Providence
Journal
article
last
week,
and
we
can
sit
here
and
say
well
we're
not
gonna
use
a
hundred-foot
building
today
or
tomorrow.
The
problem
is,
is
that's
there
and
that
they
can
at
one
point
use
it
and
I
think
that
is
a
legitimate
concern
about
property
values
about
you
know.
If
we're
gonna
be
expanding,
Garden
City
was
gonna.
Do
what
the
state
doesn't
give
us
enough
money
for
the
roads
in
terms
of
our
taxes
and
I.
X
Think
it's
just
overall,
also
congestion,
I,
think
you
hear
it
from
the
local
residents
but
I
think.
Overall
we
call
krantz.
We
call
gone
through
the
ground
rule
and
I.
Remember:
I've
been
a
Cranston
resident
for
26
years.
All
my
life
having
lived
anywhere
else
and
I
want
to
keep
living
here.
I
bought
a
house
last
year
because
I
want
to
keep
living
here,
but
the
problem
I
see
is
that
we
already
have
a
lot
of
issues
with
congestion
over
in
Garden
City
and
mind.
You
I
think
it's
important
to
point
out.
X
X
It's
gonna
be
a
while,
but
I
think
that
when
I
hear
what
we're
gonna
do
about
all
the
cars
around
there
and
I
hear
the
solutions
being
ubers
and
zip
cars
I
just
sit
here
and
and
kind
of
doubt
that
I
hope
they
even
might
in
ten
years
when
it
comes
to
Garden,
City,
I,
think
I,
think
God,
city
or
outlast
Hoover
I
think
that
when
we
sit
here
and
we
hear
well,
the
council
passed
stuff
previously
on
less
information.
So
you
should
pass
I.
Think
that's
absolutely
ridiculous.
X
I
think
that's
an
insult
to
you,
an
insult
to
everyone
in
this
room.
I.
Think
that
you
know
no
one.
No,
no
I,
don't
think
anyone
here
is
bored
if
whether
that's
gonna
pass
fire
code,
I
think
the
problem
is
they're.
Gonna
worry
about
a
100-foot,
skyscraper
I
think
they're
worried
about
two
hotel
rooms.
You
know
you
talk
about.
You
want
to
be
better
than
Providence
Place
Mall
and
that's
fine,
but
there's
no
residential
buildings
right
next
to
Providence
Place
Mall,
especially
when
you
get
to
take
into
the
from
that
fact
that
what
it
did.
X
What
do
you
think
the
property
values
would
be
around
there
right
if
you
had
be
right
across
from
Providence
Place
Mall
I
think
that
you
know
I
love,
Garden
City,
I
love
going
there
I
go
to
Chipotle
a
lot
of
nights.
You
know
I
thought
you
go
to
LA
Fitness
more
often,
but
I
don't,
but
I.
Just
think
that
there's
a
lot
of
issues
that
really
weren't
brought
to
the
people's
attention.
I
know
I
hear
a
dialogue
and
I,
don't
think
they
have
any
will
will
will
talk
to
us.
You
know.
X
God
city
is
great
right
now,
but
I
think
what
I
do
see
is
a
lack
of
dialogue
with
the
community.
I
think
that
did
anyone
from
Garden
City,
because
this
is
gonna,
be
what
you
agree
with
us
or
not.
I
think
a
major
transformation,
God
City
I
think
we
can
all
agree
of
that.
I
think
the
issue
is:
did
anyone
go
into
neighborhood
to
talk
to
the
residents
I
doubt
that?
Did
anyone
from
the
council
talk
to
their
people
who
are
in
those
neighborhoods
about
this,
especially
when
they're
running
for
your
election
last
year?
X
X
Would
that
do
I?
Think
I've
got
30
seconds
left
there
about?
Okay,
so
just
to
wrap
it
up.
I
love
this
city,
I
love
living
here,
I've
been
here
26
years.
I
want
to
be
another
26,
if
not
longer,
but
I
think
that's
up
to
you
as
counsel
and
to
listen
to
these
people
too,
and
give
this
more
time
we
talked
about
a
framework.
X
The
framework
is
the
most
important
part
of
any
foundation
of
a
building,
and
if
we
sit
here
and
just
then
what
a
point
one
other
point-
I
want
I'm
just
curious
about
one
thing:
what
did
they
not
get
because
I
keep
hearing?
This
is
not
a
blank
check.
What
did
I
not
get
a
hundred
first
foot
building
because
I'm
very
curious
what
they
were
denied
or
what
they
didn't
ask
for.
If
this
is
not
a
blank
check,
so
that's
all
I
have
to
say
thank
you
for
your
time
and
I
hope
everyone
else.

Frank
Justin
I
live

The
issue
I
bring
to
the
council
this
evening
is
one
that
I
know
has
come
to
the
attention
of
a
council.
Several
city
officials
have
told
me
that
this
issue
has
come
to
their
attention,
frequently
I'm,
specifically
referring
to
the
long
term,
paving
problem
there
against
the
boulevard.
The
city's
own
Road
survey
has
shown
for
years
that
this
road
is
very
much
in
decline
on
a
scale
of
zero
to
100,
I
think
is
what
they
use.
Y
Ken
Mason
shared
with
me
the
results
of
the
most
recent
survey,
and
it
was
some
of
some
sections
of
it-
are
in
the
30s.
The
40
range,
which
is
pretty
pretty
poor.
I
understand
the
city
has
more
roads
than
funds
to
fix
the
roads.
But
in
my
a
fact-finding
mission
before
coming
here
tonight,
mayor's
office
told
me
that
they
have
a
budget
of
about
three
hundred,
sixty
thousand
dollars
to
repair
Narragansett
Boulevard
from
Norwood
Avenue
up
to
Ocean
Avenue,
and
that's
about
three
hundred
sixty
thousand
dollars.
Y
Y
My
approach
to
you
this
evening
and
for
the
city
to
consider
is
to
repair
the
section
of
about
two-tenths
of
a
mile
which
is
roughly
from
bluff
Street
down
to
septon
there
abouts,
which
is
only
two-tenths
of
a
mile
and
a
pro-rata
basis
that
would
be
less
than
$100,000,
and
the
big
bonus
extra
bonus
here
is
that
I
understand
the
city
has
budgeted
in
his
planning
for
this
coming
spring.
To
do
some
drainage
repairs
right
the
chase
into
that
area
right
along
ceptin,
Boulevard,
running
south
I,
believe
so
it
would
be.
Y
You
know,
a
win-win
if
we
could
sort
of
bring
those
two
projects
together,
I
think
would
be
a
very
affordable
and
efficient
way
to
do
the
most
good
for
the
least
with
the
least
amount
of
money
in
closing.
I'll
just
relate
to
you
as
a
true
story.
One
day
I
was
driving
my
car
down,
Narragansett
Boulevard
and
suddenly
the
front
end
was
shaking
and
rattling
and
I
thought
I
had
a
flat
tire,
so
I
got
out
pulled
over
pulled
the
car
over
to
the
side.
Y
Y
When
I
signed
the
closing
papers
to
my
home
on
Sefton,
it
was
September
17th
1997
so
20
years
ago
the
road
hasn't
gotten
any
better
I
think
you
could
use
a
little
bit
of
help
from
the
city,
so
I
hope
the
city
will
find
it
in
their
hearts
and
in
their
budget
to
make
those
improvements
in
this
coming
year.
Thank
you.

Barbara

14:38
Narragansett
Boulevard
in
Cranston,
and
I
too,
am
here
to
make
a
couple
of
comments
about
the
plan
to
use
some
of
the
bond
funds
that
were
approved
for
repaving
roads
in
the
city
of
Cranston,
I'd
like
to
say
that
I
have
been
a
resident
on
Narragansett
Boulevard
for
more
than
37
years
and,
as
Frank
pointed
out,
it
has
received
very
little
over
the
37
years.
The
road
is
a
main
thoroughfare
in
the
city.
Z
It
is
so
deteriorated
that
the
center
of
the
road
is
like
driving
on
a
chatter
strip
and
cars
that
travel
that
road
end
up
driving
in
the
parking
lane
or
in
the
bike
path.
In
order
to
avoid
the
corrugated
surface,
it
is
not
safe
for
bike
riders
or
for
pedestrians
or
for
drivers.
It
has
also
been
said
to
me
that,
because
of
the
speeding
problem
that
it
would,
if
the
road
were
to
be
repaved,
it
would
become
more
attractive
for
speeders
I.
Z
At
the
other
end,
allons
Avenue
gets
developed
the
Jewelry
District
that
Edgewood
has
a
lot
of
historic
homes.
Narragansett
Boulevard
is
on
the
National
Register.
That
sort
of
connecting
piece
was
just
accomplished
in
November,
December
of
2016
and
I.
Think,
as
all
of
the
comments
that
I'm
hearing
tonight
about
Garden
City
being
the
jewel
of
the
city,
I
think
that
the
city
can
add
to
its
list
of
jewels
and
enhance
the
neighborhoods,
and
this
would
be
an
important
way
of
doing
that
with
safety
considerations.
Thank
you.
Thank.
AA
Hi
bill
cats,
106
poplar
drive.
Mr.
president
councilmembers
I'm
here
as
a
concerned
citizen
about
the
ordinance
for
the
rezoning
of
god--and
city
I
want
to
start
off
by
making
a
point
that
we
all
can
agree
with.
The
wild
accompany
has
been
a
done.
A
wonderful
job
God
in
City.
The
shopping
center
is
at
a
peak
right
now,
it's
a
joy
to
go
with
wonderful
restaurants,
great
shopping,
but
we
have
to
think
what
they
have
been
saying
tonight.
AA
They
made
a
point
of
saying
many
times
that
they
have
no
plans
that
yes
someday,
maybe
a
hotel
someday,
maybe
assisted
living,
maybe
more
homes.
Last
week
they
made
a
point.
They
said,
maybe
a
yacht
club
now
for
those
of
us
who
know
how
close
we
are
to
the
water.
We
still
wonder
about
that
point,
but
here's
the
point
that
I
feel
you
as
the
council
have
to
understand.
AA
Why
do
we
want
to
give
them
carte
blanche
at
this
point
to
go
and
solicit
a
hundred
story?
Hotels?
Why
do
we
have
to
give
them
kok
blanche
to
plan
for
a
drive
through
at
the
end?
Why
do
we
have
to
give
any
of
those
when
yes,
a
long
process
afterwards
for
everything
that
is
part
of
it?
But
they
do
not
need
to
have
cat
watch
to
proceed.
They
can
take.
Listen,
they
built
LA
Fitness.
They
had
to
get
an
exemption.
AA
That
was
fine,
whether
we
like
them
not,
they
got
the
exemption
when
they
want
to
build
more,
they
can
do
it.
They
can
come
up
in
front
of
you
in
front
of
their
Zoning
Commission
and
present
their
ideas.
What
they're
doing
now
is
they're
looking
for
carte
blanche,
which
means
they're
looking
once
they
have
this
zoning
law
done,
they
can
go
out
to
this
hotel
chain
and
say:
listen.
We
already
have
pop
one
done.
We
know
we
can
build
you,
your
seven
storey
hotel
or
at
least
stop
the
process.
AA
We
want
to
get
you
on
board.
Why
should
we
give
that
to
a
private
company
when
they
can
go
through
every
single
step
lawfully,
with
you
with
the
Zoning
Board
in
a
timely
fashion?
I
live
in
the
hollows,
it's
a
wonderful
area,
those
of
us
who
live
in
Garden
City.
We
appreciated
family
single
home
dwellings.
It's
a
place
where
people
are
raising
families,
it's
a
place
where
we
have
a
wonderful,
wonderful
amount
of
people
who
have
been
in
there,
their
entire
lives.
AA
What
they
are
doing
right
now
can
change
the
shape
of
not
just
a
shopping
center,
but
the
residential
area
for
all
of
us
who
live
there
in
the
hollows
I'm
in
Poplar
Drive.
Yes,
right
now,
I
know
they
could
build
something
on
that
parking
lot
in
the
Midway
I
will,
if
they
put
a
plan,
I
will
be
out
here
in
front
of
you
in
front
of
the
Zoning
Commission
to
fight
it.
Why?
AA
Maybe
it's
a
popin
buildings,
maybe
it's
a
pop
and
as
they
were
talking
before,
maybe
the
first
floor,
it's
going
to
be
retail
and
apartment
buildings
above
it,
but
who
is
gonna
want
to
buy
my
house
for
the
money
that
I'll
need
at
that
point.
So
you
know
at
that
point
because
of
that
view,
so
it
will
affect
me
financially
in
the
future.
It
will
affect
me
emotionally
in
the
present
and
it
will
affect
us
all
I'm,
not
saying
that
they
don't
have
a
right
for
expansion.
AA
AB
Thank
you,
I
wasn't
intended.
Actually
I
thought
it
was
signing
up
for
these
safety
things,
but
it's
been
very
enlightening
and
interesting
and
hearing
what
the
Cranston
residents
have
to
say
and
I
am
a
Cranston
resident
I
frequent,
Garden,
City
I
have
a
peel
box
down
there.
I
know
what
the
traffic
is
like.
It's
insane
and
it's
dangerous.
AB
You
know
dislike
ins,
to
the
Emerald
City
in
The
Wizard
of
Oz
promising
what
they're,
gonna,
bring
and
I
gotta
say,
listen
to
what
these
people
are
saying:
their
property
values
depreciating
the
traffic
increase,
the
quality
of
living
that
will
decline,
I'm
listening
to
it,
I'm
a
victim
advocate,
so
you
know
I'll
make
it
short
and
sweet
just
hearing
that
part
of
it
I
would
proceed
very
carefully
because
you
all
represent
these.
Are
your
constituents
and
you
represent
them
just
like
it's?
A
victim
advocate
I
represent
victims
throughout
this
state.
AB
AC
My
name
is
Carol
Fowler
I
live
at
17
balsam
court
in
Garden
City.
My
parents
moved
to
17
volts
in
court
in
December
of
1950
we've
seen
a
lot
of
changes.
I
only
have
a
little
bit
to
add
to
what
other
people
have
said,
but
what
I
have
to
say
has
to
do
with
the
quality
of
life,
that
of
the
residents
of
Garden
City,
not
the
shoppers.
So
much
many
people
have
referred
to
the
shopping
center
as
a
jewel
but
from
where
I
sit
at
home.
AC
It's
not
so
much
of
a
jewel
I
look
out
on
LL
Bean
and
LA
Fitness,
which
is
I,
guess,
okay,
but
between
me
and
those
stores
we
have
Midway
Road
a
little
parking
area
that
I
would
deeply
dismayed,
find
out
might
have
something
built
on
it,
a
wire
fence
and
then
a
steep
hillside
down
to
my
backyard.
When
I
look
out
on
the
hillside,
I
see
liquor,
bottles,
beer
cans,
plastic
bags,
underwear
the
what
I
believe
to
be
the
footboard
of
a
twin
bed,
which
is
now
a
nice
shed
waiting
for
me
to
remove
it.
AC
The
the
management
company
takes
outstanding
care
of
the
part
of
the
shopping
center,
that
people
see
when
they're
shopping,
but
not
so
much
that
we
residency
when
we
looked
out
our
windows
and
I,
don't
think
that's
going
to
get
a
whole
lot
better.
If
structures
are
built
on
that
little
strip
of
parking
area
behind
my
house,
that's
one
thing.
The
other
thing
is
I'm,
not
sure.
AC
If
these
plans
call
for
the
further
development
of
somewhat
undeveloped
land,
but
another
problem
we
residents
have
in
Garden
City
are
wild
animals
appearing
in
our
neighborhoods
there's
an
infestation
or
whatever.
The
word
is
of
wild
turkeys
in
the
Redwood
Whitewood
Drive
area,
probably
15
or
20
of
them.
AC
Now,
in
my
area,
we've
had
as
many
as
four
deer
in
our
yard
in
the
wintertime
they
come
because
they're
starving
I,
don't
blame
them
or
the
turkeys,
but
we
have
developed
this
area
to
such
an
extent
that
there
isn't
any
area
for
these
animals
to
live
in,
and
so
any
further
develop
of
open
area
is
just
gonna
make
that
harder
for
the
turkeys
harder
for
the
deer
and
harder
for
us.
Thank
you.
F

AB
You
know
these
bills
are
going
up
to
the
Statehouse.
One
is
on
clustering.
Ok,
Cranston
has
the
highest
number
of
sex
offenders
clustered
in
the
state
at
Harrington,
Hall,
half
the
population
in
Harrington,
Wallace
sex
offenders
registered
in
level
ones.
We
went
over
all
the
rescue
runs
and
the
55
thousand
dollar
cost.
In
four
months
the
police
runs
rerouting
services
for
Harrington
Hall.
This
is
all
under
clustering.
I
gave
the
packets
to
councilman
for
Vecchio
they'll
be
going
on
to
the
State
House
for
the
bills.
They
look
good
to
go.
You
need
to
the
data.
AB
Oh,
you
need
to
consider
depreciation
of
property
values
that
goes
on
to
clustering.
That
can
go
anywhere
from
10
to
12
to
15
percent
depreciation
property
values
of
clusters
of
sex
offenders.
Let's
just
jump
right
on
to
the
next
one,
so
glad
I
included
Garden
City,
okay,
mandatory
registration
bill.
AB
We
did
this
already
passed
the
Senate
unanimously
mandatory,
24-hour
registration
of
sex
offenders
that
are
going
into
the
shelter.
Why
did
this
happen?
Because
last
year,
Bruce
Peavy,
who
raped
three
women?
Okay
and
raped
an
inmate
put
a
correctional
officer
in
the
hospital
for
peonies
and
three
Larson
EES.
They
waited
about
a
week
before
they
picked
up
a
little
phone
call
the
police
and
said
guess
what
Bruce
TVs
leaving
him.
No,
the
state
laws
within
24
hours,
you're
supposed
to
notify
a
sex
offender
knows
that
or
they're
in
violation.
AB
There
is
no
umbrella
of
safety,
because
you're,
a
Harrington,
Hall,
shelter
or
a
manual
house
or
anywhere
else,
so
that
little
games
gonna
stop
passed
the
Senate
in
a
man's
unanimously.
Last
year,
a
little
laziness
going
on
in
the
house,
but
I
have
five
new
reps
on
that
and
I.
Think
there's
gonna
be
some
pressure
on
our
speaker,
oh
by
the
way
he's
saying
that
he's
inclined
to
support
the
clustering
bill.
Okay,
last
one
because
there
was
only
three
right
councilmen
for
Vecchia
oversight.
AB
Well,
we've
been
watching
the
news
right,
I
can't
in
the
number
of
nonprofits
the
latest
one
of
the
John
Hope
Center
and
I
heard
a
board
member
today
wants
Anastasia
off
the
the
whole
thing
and
corruption
there
Galison
he
was
involved
with
a
non-profit.
You
know
you've
been
impacted
in
Cranston
and
Warwick
with
House
of
Hope
last
year,
when
I
told
you
they
chart,
they
cost
you
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
Fire
and
Rescue
runs
not
including
Cranston
police
and
State
Police,
okay
and
a
detective
all
year,
the
four
hundred
thousand.
AB
While
she
was
crying
poverty
for
money
at
Harrington
Hall
to
refurbish
it
did
you
know
that
she
was
picking
up
fifteen
properties
in
Warwick,
oh
and
let's
get
even
better.
She
didn't
pay
her
back
taxes,
one
hundred
ninety
nine
thousand,
so
guess
who
picked
up
the
tab
on
that
who
the
victims
were
the
taxpayers
of
Cranston
picked
up
her
back
taxes,
I
had
the
form
in
the
packet
it's
there
for
you
to
see,
you'll
find
it
where
it
states
the
exact
number
that
the
city
of
Cranston,
the
taxpayers,
picked
up
on
her
back
taxes.
AB
This
is
ridiculous.
Okay,
it's
bad
enough
were
paying
for
fire
and
rescue
services,
so
oversight.
It's
an
inspector
general
that
we're
looking
at
and
his
appointed
elected
officials,
okay,
underneath
him,
and
we
want
oversight
and
transparency.
Deeds
nonprofits,
if
we're
giving
the
millions
of
dollars
okay-
and
it
really
is
millions.
Okay,
then
six
point:
seven
million
from
the
state
in
anka
rising
twelve
point:
nine
million
from
read
2225
housing
authorities.
This
is
ridiculous.
AB
The
amount
of
money
they
were
talking
about
here,
six
point:
seven
million
from
state
foreign
250
thousand
from
the
division
of
planning.
There's
got
to
be
oversight
and
transparency;
they
have
to
account
for
where
their
money's
going
when
I
see
clients
all
over
the
streets,
panhandling
with
frostbitten
hands
in
20-degree
weathers,
and
they
threw
him
out
the
door.
You
know
I'm
not
as
upset
about
the
panhandlers
I'm
upset
about
the
multi-million
dollar
nonprofits
and
their
CEO
is
driving
around
a
Mercedes
and
beamers,
and
this
is
how
they
treat
their
clients.
AB
They
throw
them
on
the
streets.
That's
cruel,
in
fact,
I'll
go
so
far
as
saying
it's
criminal
and
the
party's
over
and
many
are
looking
at
this
oversight
bill,
because
we've
had
enough,
the
taxpayers
are
picking
up
money
that
they
don't
even
know
about
Chris
the
taxpayers
have
been
raped
last
year
and
this
year
first
on
the
house,
a
hole
now
under
crossroads
and
I
heard
under
the
Urban
League
is
really
ghoulish,
okay
disease
to
stop,
and
we
all
need
to
be
proactive
to
move
this
forward
and
I'll
push
it.
AE
AD
Is
a
tough
act
to
follow
bottom
line?
Alright,
okay,
I'm
talking
to
you
about
Narragansett,
Boulevard
I,
live
at
the
end
of
Narragansett
Boulevard
word
intersects
with
Ocean,
Avenue
and
I
want
to
thank
you
very
much
for
the
rotary
that
you
put
in
it
does
work.
In
fact,
there
was
a
speaker
who
came
down
Narragansett
Boulevard
hit
the
rotary,
which
is
about
10
feet,
hall
tall
and
managed
to
land
on
top
of
it
instead
of
hitting
my
house.
So
it's
very
thankful
for
that,
but
also
Narragansett
Boulevard
is
an
embarrassment.
AD
I
mean
when
you
drive
down
there
against
the
boulevard,
it's
still
a
Speedway,
and
when
you
get
to
the
South
End
right
before
the
cove,
you
will
discover
two
washboard
and
that's
got
to
be
changed.
I
mean
it
really
is
bah
bah,
bah,
bah,
bah,
bah
bah.
It's
like
the
car
commercial
and
also
we're
trying
to
work.
AD
I
happen
to
be
the
treasurer
of
the
Edgewood
waterfront
Preservation
Association,
and
we're
trying
to
work
now
on
a
stormwater
situation,
and
it
would
be
great
if
we
could
tie
in
the
repaving
of
Narragansett
Boulevard
with
the
development
of
a
stormwater
plan.
There
is
one
presently
that
we're
working
on,
but
we
need
all
the
help.
So
if
we
could
just
pitch
the
road
the
correct
way,
it
would
solve
a
lot
of
problems
I.
Thank
you.
AF
Us
got
to
hear
mold,
155
colonial
Avenue
good
evening
council
president
council
members
I'm
here
in
my
capacity
as
the
secretary
treasurer
of
the
Rhode
Island
Building
and
Construction
Trades,
representing
16
different
crafts
and
10,000
men
and
women
who
make
up
the
unionized
construction
industry
in
Rhode
Island,
we're
here
in
cautious
support
of
the
rezoning
ordinance
at
Garden
City
or
the
thank
the
council
for
including
our
letter
in
the
records
tonight.
I
also
want
to
thank
the
wilder
management
company
for
giving
us
a
good
response
to
my
question.
AF
My
organization's
caution
is
that
we
feel
that
over
the
past
couple
of
years,
many
of
the
subcontractors
that
have
been
hired
at
that
site
have
not
really
come
up
to
area
standards
and
we'd
like
to
as
this
progresses.
If
this
actual
expansion
occurs,
we'd
like
to
have
the
support
of
the
council
to
craft
some
standard
language
safety,
training,
wage
requirements
that
would
make
that
site
a
better
place
to
work
and
increase
the
opportunities
for
Rhode
Islanders
to
work
there,
weren't
even
Cranston
residents.
AF
In
fact,
ideally-
and
it's
not
that
hard
to
do-
there's
even
a
way
you
can
do
local
hiring
goals
on
these
projects,
where
you
can
get
a
certain
percentage
that
correct
from
this
city
and
work
a
couple
of
blocks
away
from
their
house,
which
is
a
wonderful
thing
in
the
world
of
construction,
so
we'll
be
here
watching
the
process
as
it
goes
on
and
that's
all
I,
that's
all
I
really
have
to
say
tonight.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
AG
AG
Joyce
battalion
Bretton,
Woods,
Drive
and
I'm
here
to
talk
about
traffic
when
I
grew
up,
there
was
no
Garden
City
and
then
along
came
the
bowling
alley
and
Woolworths,
and
a
pharmacy
right
now
where
I
live,
has
become
it
cut
through
from
Oakland
Avenue
to
Garden.
City
people
do
not
observe
stop
signs,
there's
speeding
trucks,
it's
it's
not
nice!
I've
been
in
touch
with
the
mayor.
I've
written
letters
and
I
have
spoken
to
people,
police
and
so
forth.
AG
AG
A
AH
AH
Foreigner
the
first
time,
so
let
me
just
tell
you
I
was
not
aware
of.
What's
going
on,
I
have
never
been
in
politics
at
all.
My
son,
sad,
is
something
and
said
to
me:
mom:
do
you
know
that
they
are
changing
the
ordinance
they're
changing
Garden
City?
That's
it
really!
Yes,
mom!
Why
don't
you
go
to
the
meeting
so
I'm
here?
So
some
of
the
concerns
that
I
have
are
the
following:
I
have
this
by
the
way
I
have
I
live
in
Garden
City,
my
mother
mom,
my
father
will
live
in
34
garden
city
dry.
AH
I
would
know
that
house
in
3700
right.
My
concerns
I
have
raised
two
children.
I
have
lived
here
for
over
28
years,
so
Gardens
Garden
City
is
there
in
my
heart,
through
the
years
I
have
seen
garden
siglo
from
something
that's
very
mother's
Center
to
some
to
be
the
least
upscale
through
the
years.
You
know
when
I
look
at
struggling.
I
said
everybody
that
could
shop
in
Garden.
City
I
gave
Preston,
so
they
could
go
so
they
can
help
right
and
I.
AH
Think
that
is
fine
without
thinking
that
helping
the
garden
that
gathering
all
these
people
was
gonna
cost
what
we
have
now
in
the
census.
Ok,
so
we
are
wealthy,
we're
doing
great,
let's
have
more
right,
so
my
concern
is
being
the
crowdedness
put
in
a
building
that
is
going
to
be
hundred
feet
high.
That
is
going
to
change
the
properties.
Okay,
a
flashing
building
flashing,
you
know
sign
that
is
going
to
be
make
the
property
look
cheap
right.
AH
So
will
you
kindly
please
consider
it
right
take
becomes
if
you
are
changing
the
way
our
neighborhood
is
right,
like
this
gentleman
said:
that's
fine!
We
need
to
make
money
women.
You
know
we
need
to
move
on.
That's
fine
right!
What
we're
going
to
have
whatever
you
need.
Something
else
come
and
ask
for
help
that
you
need
to
do
it,
but
don't
keep
given
saying
oh
yeah,
you
can
do
this.
You
can
do
that.
God
knows
what
we're
going
to
end
up
with
at
the
end
in
10-15
years.
AH
A
Thank
You
grace
at
this
point,
I
have
concluded
the
signup
sheet
I'm,
going
to
ask
some
people
who
are
outside
if
they'd
like
to
speak.
I,
know,
there's
more
people
inside
that
I'd
like
to
speak,
but
you
get
to
see
us.
Live
people
outside,
sadly
have
to
listen
to
us
on
radio,
so
we're
gonna
allow
some
people
to
come
in
for
a
couple
minutes.
So
anyone
outside
left
to
come
in
now
would
be
the
time
to
come
in
and
let's
yeah,
we
have
more
seats.
So
we
can
film
in.
AI
AI
It
is
not
just
a
shopping
center
and
if
you
go
down
route
to
go
as
far
as
Rhode
Island
wall,
which
originally
was
Midland
mall,
it's
a
ghost
town,
it's
a
big
barren
parking
lot
with
two
stores,
one
on
either
end
and
I
believe
one
of
them
is
going
to
close,
which
is
Sears.
There
was
also
only
something
in
the
middle
of
the
road.
AI
Sometimes
you
just
over
develop
something
and
if
you
go
down
there
and
see
that
ghost
town
and
if
you
over,
develop
the
Garden
City
shopping
area
and
turn
it
into
something
that
finally,
nobody
wants
to
be
there.
Nobody
wants
to
shop
there
and
nobody
even
wants
to
live
there.
You
lose
all
the
tax
dollars
that
are
coming
into
your
city
for
the
residents
and
I.
Think
because
Garden
City
is
a
residential
area.
In
addition
to
a
lovely
shopping
area,
it
has
to
be
treated
a
little
differently
than
just
a
place
where
you
build
businesses.
AI
I
was
part
of
when
the
chapel
view
was
going
to
be
built.
I
went
to
all
of
the
meetings
we
were
assured,
left
and
right
up
and
down.
They
would
keep
the
giant
trees
that
was
so
beautiful
on
that
property
and
that
they
would
try
to
keep
some
of
the
buildings
to
my
knowledge,
I
believe
one
building
was
in
the
chapel
itself
and
everything
else.
One
morning
all
of
the
trees
disappeared
before
anybody
had
any
chance
to
say
anything
about
them,
and
the
answer
was
whoops.
AI
AJ
AJ
Thank
you.
I
am
here
tonight
to
speak
out
in
support
of
the
licensed
cultivator
ordinance
that
you
and
the
mayor
have
developed
I'm
just
so
happy
that
you've
been
so
proactive
in
developing
this
ordinance
and
I
would
like
to
make
comment
to
add
one
more
little
thing
to
it.
I
hope
make
it
perfect.
Let
me
give
you
a
little
bit
of
history
on
that
on
this
I'm,
not
sure
that
people
know
what
this
is,
especially
after
hearing
an
earlier
commenter.
AJ
My
comments
referenced.
The
new
procedures
that
come
out
from
the
family
read
this
directly.
The
new
law
seeks
to
provide
a
consistent
and
reliable
source
of
medical
marijuana
to
the
state's
licensed
compassion.
Centers.
Only
no
longer
will
caregivers
be
able
to
sell
their
excess
product
to
compassionate
centers.
Only
newly
licensed
cultivators
will
be
able
to
do
so.
This
is
an
important
distinction
to
make
you
know.
Folks
who
have
you
know
me
comments
about.
AJ
Oh,
it's
gonna
be
a
retail
operation
or
there's
gonna
be
stuff
that
goes
backdoor,
and
this
new
law
has
done
everything
to
make
sure
that
doesn't
happen.
Let
me
go
through
some
of
this
with
you.
As
you
already
know,
the
DVR
regulations
were
finalized
last
month
and
seek
to
direct
the
flow
of
medical
marijuana
to
compassion
centers
licensed
by
the
Department
of
Business
Regulation.
Instead
of
to
the
community
at
large,
the
Department
of
Business
Regulation
has
also
issued
new
medical
marijuana,
growing
guidelines
and
testing
requirements
to
ensure
reliable
and
healthy
product.
AJ
This
new
classification-
and
it
is
brand
new,
also
seeks
to
address
leakage
in
the
current
system.
Exactly
the
situation
that's
been
going
on,
the
new
paradigm
requires
that
licensed
cultivators
apply
for
an
annual
and
comply
with
some
80
pages
of
security
monitoring
and
reporting
requirements.
All
licensed
cultivators,
whether
they
grow
in
warehouses,
factories,
greenhouses
or
plant
nurseries
must
be
insecure,
locked
and
videotaped
facilities.
They
must
be
made
available
to
the
State,
Police
and
Department
of
Health.
You
know
Department
of
Business
record
any
any
other
legal
entities
that
need
to
check
out
the
operation
officer.
AJ
These
are
magnitude
and
they
have
to
inspect
the
inspected
annually.
Every
plant
grown
by
a
licensed
cultivator,
whether
it's
grown
in
a
warehouse
factory,
building
or
secure
greenhouse
or
nursery,
must
be
tagged.
All
tagged
plants
grown
by
licensed
cultivators
can
only
be
so
do
licensed
compassionate
centers.
This
is
not
a
recreational
use.
This
is
not
a
retail
use
for
anyone
other
than
those
folks
who
have
medical
cards.
All
tags
grown
by
licensed
cake,
cultivators
will
be
tagged
and
they
will
be
taxed.
AJ
Every
single
plant
must
be
tagged
and
taxed,
licensed
cultivators
may
not
participate
in
cooperative
care
growing
or
englishmen
says.
This
is
the
only
thing
they
can
do,
and
this
is
the
only
outlet
they
can
sell
to.
They
cannot
grow
as
caregivers
to
medical
marijuana,
client
and
again
they
must
be
licensed
and
sell
only
through
the
compassionate
centers.
All
licensed
cultures
must
be
located
outside
the
boundaries
of
educational,
residential
and
recreational
areas,
as
you
currently
have
defined
in
your
draft
ordinance.
AJ
These
agricultural
areas
are
allowed
by
law
and
Cranston
can
define
these
particular
growth
areas
through
land
use
codes,
7373
OC,
and
there
are
a
couple
more
I,
won't
believe
at
the
point.
To
summarize
the
current
draft
ordinance
that
you
have
shuts
down
the
opportunity
for
our
farmers
to
grow,
it
makes
it
who
makes
a
significant
agricultural
investments
every
single
year
in
their
properties
to
allow
legal
medical
marijuana
operations
to
operate
only
in
warehouses
and
factories
is
to
cut
out
the
very
people
with
the
expertise
and
need
for
additional
income.

Dave
signer
I've
lived
in
Garden
c21
crocus
Drive
we've
had
three
houses
in
Garden
City,
we
loved
Garden
City.
We
think
it's
a
great
place
when
I'm
gonna
talk
about
it,
it's
got
it
more.
The
financial
aspect
of
it
right
now
the
economy
is
great,
Garden
City
is,
is
just
about
virtually
granted.
Interest
rates
are
relatively
low.
They're
gonna
go
higher
what
better
time
for
an
investment
group
to
potentially
end
up
selling
Garden
City
with
the
zoning
with
this
overlap,
zoning
it's
gonna,
even
make
it
more
attractive.
AK
I
think
the
wilder
people
have
done
a
terrific
job,
but
there's
no
guarantee
that
the
wild
people
are
going
to
be
the
managers
of
a
potential
new
owner.
We
have
seen
at
least
four
owners
the
owners
of
Garden
City
in
the
last
40
years.
There's
no
guarantee
the
current
owners
are
gonna,
be
here
and
there's
no
guarantee
of
the
flowers
would
be
the
management
team
for
those
those
new
owners.
As
far
as
the
overlap
zoning,
you
have
one
of
the
best
attorneys
representing
wilder's
as
far
as
getting
zoning
through
so
I.
AK
Don't
know
why
you
would
need
the
overlap
when
you
have
something
like
attorney
Murray,
you
would
probably
get
it
to
get
the
zoning.
So
there's
no
guarantee
that
have
you
passed
this
new
zoning
regulation
that
these
people
are
gonna
be
involved
in
it
could
be
something
completely
different.
Thank
you.
AL
Good
evening
my
name
is
Milton
Appleby
under
that
one
to
four
Talman
Avenue
talking
about
Garden
City
I,
actually
just
moved
to
Rhode
Island
Cranston,
particularly
in
April,
in
Los
Angeles.
So
all
these
issues
that
we're
talking
about
right
now
about
development
are
actually
something
that
I've
dealt
with
back
home
and
I've,
seen
what
mass
development
looks
like
and
how
detrimental
it
could
be
to
a
community
living
in
Hollywood
proper.
There
was
a
lot
of
development.
AL
A
lot
of
promise
of
you
know
new
hotels,
new
businesses
coming
in,
but
what
happens
is
there's
a
lot
of
vacancy
also
that
can
arise
from
that.
We're
not
guaranteed
the
economic
growth.
As
per
you
know,
the
way
things
are
right
now.
I
actually
have
a
background
in
retail
and
looking
at
Garden
City
and
that's
a
it's
a
great
shopping
center
I
mean
there
are
some
shopping
centers.
You
know
around
Warwick,
mall,
Providence,
City,
I,
think
Garden
City
is
the
best
one,
but
that
being
said,
there
are
possible
issues
with
retail.
AL
There
I
know
gap,
Banana,
Republic
j.crew,
some
other
companies
are
actually
facing
huge
financial
issues
and
those
smaller
specialty
stores
that
usually
are
safe
from
store
closures
are
actually
on
the
verge
of
closing
stores
as
well.
So
aside
from
growing
and
becoming
a
bigger
space,
we
need
to
think
about
what
we're
gonna
do
in
the
interim
of
these
stores
were
to
currently
vacate
Garden
City.
So
we
need
to
be
innovative
about
what
you're
gonna
do
with
the
shopping
center.
AL
It's
understandable
that
you
want
to
do
something
with
a
hotel
or
parking
structure
or
live
work
environment,
that's
something
that
was
big
in
LA
as
well,
but
it
also
was
detrimental
to
the
community
in
the
sense
that
you
know
when
I
moved
here
we
looked
at
demographics,
it's
a
suburban
area.
It
really
doesn't
it's
not
conducive
of
a
live
work
play
kind
of
shopping
center.
It's
it's
very.
You
know,
families
that
live
in
the
neighborhood
or
you
really.
The
apartment
doesn't
really
make
sense
in
that
situation.
So
what
I'm
trying
to
say?
AL
Essentially,
as
an
outsider
as
a
new
resident
to
the
city,
it
is
a
great
shopping
center,
but
I
think
it's
great
as
is,
and
you
really
need
to
think
of
what
to
do
within
the
scope
of
now
and
be
innovative.
That
way
versus
just
saying.
Oh,
we
want
to
add
a
hotel.
We
want
that
apartment
buildings.
We
want
to
add
a
drive-through
restaurants.
AL
You
know
people
have
talked
about
traffic
ad
nauseam.
You
know
it
is
an
issue
coming
from
LA
the
traffic
the
world
looking
at
Sachi
Nauset.
It
is
a
reminder
of
some
of
the
streets
in
LA,
which
you
know
I
thought
I
got
away
from,
but
you
you
really
have
to
take
the
community
as
a
whole
and
listen
to
what
we
want,
what
they
want
and
be
considerate.
AL
AM
I
am
at
Lenz
61
Sheffield
Road
I
want
to
speak
about
both
the
zoning
ordinances.
First
I'll
start
with
the
cultivation
ordinance
strongly
opposed
to
that
ordinance
for
a
few
different
reasons.
First
and
foremost,
I
just
don't
agree
with
having
a
marijuana
grow
facility
in
the
city
of
Grants
and
just
something
I'm
personally
against,
but
also
it
it
doesn't
eliminate
the
problem
that
we
already
have
in
the
medical
marijuana
program
and
that's
the
divergent
of
the
homegrown
marijuana
on
to
our
streets
right
now.
That's
a
huge
problem
across
our
entire
state.
AM
There's
a
lot
of
marijuana
that
is
being
sold
in
excess
of
the
grow
because
you
can
grow
more
than
you're
allowed
to
actually
keep
on
you
and
that
ends
up
in
our
streets
before
it
was
going
to
the
comparison.
There's
some
of
it
now
when
those
people
with
those
home
grows
have
that
marijuana
the
only
place
that
they
can
sell.
It
is
illegally
on
the
street
in
the
black
market.
AM
So,
for
those
reasons,
I
think
the
cultivation
process,
the
whole
the
law
itself
and
the
regulations
set
forth
by
DBR
have
just
kind
of
masqueraded
that
whole
home
grow
problem
we
already
have.
The
second
ordinance
I
want
talk
about,
is
obviously
the
garden
city
ordinance
I'm,
a
relatively
new
resident
I've,
been
here
for
a
year
starting
tomorrow
me
and
my
wife
bought
a
house
a
year
ago,
and
one
of
the
reasons
well
three
reasons
why
we
bought
a
house
in
Cranston.
The
elementary
school
where
we
live
near
is
gray
awful,
but
long.
AM
AM
You
have
the
condos
over
there,
people
live
there
and
we
think
the
same
thing
would
probably
be
great
for
for
Garden
City
to
somebody
who
wants
to
hold
the
line
on
taxes
wasp-like
to
see
economic
development,
so
I
couldn't
in
good
conscience,
say
that
I'm
against
this.
This
you
know
development,
because
I
think
it
helps
kind
of
a
beat
those
issues
of
taxes
and
pull
the
line
of
taxes,
and
it
brings
jobs
whether
it
be
construction
or
the
mixed-use
work
and
play
mixed-use
has
been
kind
of
the
way
of
the
future
across
the
entire
country.
AM
That's
kind
of
how
these
developments
are
working,
I
think
the
developers
here
want
to
stay
nimble
over
the
course
of
the
next
ten
years.
I
would
imagine
that
these
kind
of
process
development
process
would
give
them
a
way
for
them
to
come
up
with
a
sturdy
10-year
plan,
bring
it
back
to
you,
I
think.
There's
plenty
of
procedures
there
to
hold
them
in
check
and
I
said
what
that
ordinance.
Thank
you.
R
Richard
Tomlin's
400
Farmington,
Avenue,
Cranston
I'm,
watching
the
clock
there
it's
getting
close
to
my
med
time,
the
warm
glass
of
milk
and
off
to
bed.
This
is
interesting
by
the
way.
Mr.
president,
you're
packing
your
packing
in
here
that
the
crowd
that's
here,
I
haven't
seen
in
a
long
long
time.
I
usually
was
a
lone
wolf,
except
for
the
neck.
R
Citizen
of
the
year
nectar
on
this
issue,
but
we
have
to
take.
We
have
to
take
a
broad
view.
There's
no
question:
you're
gonna
need
more
income
you're.
Faced
now
with
some
elimination
in
the
car
tax,
the
speaker
is
hell-bent
on
getting
that
through
that's
going
to
cut
into
your
revenue,
you
have
three
contracts
or
more
that
are
already
set
in
place.
That's
gonna
be
increases
each
year
for
the
next
one
to
three
years.
R
You're,
currently
negotiating
with
the
police.
Hopefully
you'll
show
some
par
with
what
you
pay
police
would
let
you
pay
the
fireman
this
lady
here
she
still
here,
spoke
very
eloquently
about
the
situation
in
Cranston.
We
think
we're
pretty
safe,
but
let
me
tell
you
in
the
last
year
and
a
half
to
spend
three
murders
in
my
neighborhood
there's
been
house
break-ins.
The
house
that
she
mentioned
has
people
coming
all
the
time
and
you
have
maybe
my
numbers
are
near
correct:
a
hundred
men
and
women,
two
pro
321
streets
in
this
see
24/7.
R
We
have
to
think
about
that.
But
this
is
a
method.
Hopefully
that
would
raise
money.
I
know
there's
some
of
the
details
that
people
are
concerned
about,
but
I'm
convinced
that
nothing's
going
to
be
built.
Unless
everything
goes
through
the
city,
perhaps
the
state
it
may
be
in
some
cases,
even
the
federal
to
make
sure
it
has
all
the
requirements
for
environmental
control
and
so
forth.
Before
I
was
dismissed
from
the
contract
and
purchasing
board.
The
Chapel
Hill
was
talking
to
us
about
putting
in
new
roads
in
that
area.
It
was
a
great
plan.
R
It
wasn't
going
to
cost
the
city
it
done.
It
was
presented
to
the
council.
Also
I,
don't
know
whatever
happened
to
it.
It
was
pretty
clear-cut,
it
wasn't
anything
they
did
have
to
get
an
OK
from
the
state
to
pick
up
some
some
land
in
that
area,
but
that
should
be
on
the
front
burner.
If
you're
going
to
consider
expansion
in
this
area
what's
happening,
I
was
faced
with
that
the
50,
60s
and
70s.
Thank
you
mr.
Trump,
then
it
was
decided.
The
medium-high
hotels
office
buildings
could
no
longer
pay
for
themselves.
R
They've
realized
the
air
above
them
was
very
valuable
and
that's
part
of
what
you're
faced
here.
That's
one
reason
why
they
want
to
go
higher
because
that
increases
the
density
for
whatever
they
put
in
that
project,
whether
it's
a
hotel
or
anything
else
and
I'm
sure
they're
doing
their
own
studies.
They're,
not
stupid
people
they're
not
going
to
put
something
in
there.
That's
not
going
to
pay
for
themselves,
so
those
studies
will
also
I'm
sure
be
presented
to
you.
R
So
you
have
a
big
job
ahead
of
you,
but
the
bottom
line
is
you
all
have
that
fiscal
responsibility
for
this
city?
You
got
the
budget
coming
up.
You
got
the
contracts
already
in
place,
you're
going
to
lose,
if
not
this
year,
very
soon,
you're
going
to
lose
some
of
your
car
tax
and
you
also
have
new
contracts
coming
along,
so
that
has
to
weigh
heavily
and
I
think
the
citizens
have
to
realize
that
our
taxes
are
pretty
much
maxed
out
in
the
city.
R
If
you
see
the
studies
we're
not
only
in
the
state
were
one
of
the
highest
in
the
country.
That's
one
reason:
when
outside
firms
make
a
determination
of
whether
they're
going
to
come
to
Rhode
Island,
they
look
at
the
school
system
and
overall,
it's
in
pretty
bad
shape,
not
counting
Cranston,
and
they
look
at
the
taxes
so
again,
I
think
it
comes
down
to
a
financial
consideration.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
AN
Evening,
council,
president
council
members,
David
Graziano
191
Wentworth
Avenue,
as
a
resident
of
Edgewood
I
was
thinking.
I
was
gonna,
be
coming
tonight
to
be
talking
about
the
roads
and
I'm
happy
to
do
it
any
other
time,
but
really
what
I
see
is
a
primary
issue
tonight
and
the
one
that
you've
had
so
many
folks
come
up
and
talk
to
you
about
very
specifically
as
Garden
City
as
a
young,
with
a
wife
and
two
young
young
kids.
AN
We
see
it
as
a
great
opportunity
to
get
out
and
get
some
fresh
air
have
an
opportunity
to
hop
into
a
store,
potentially
buy.
Something
get
warm,
but
also
continue
to
get
out
in
the
middle
of
the
in
the
winter
of
this
past,
weekend
was
fantastic
for
us.
What
I
can
tell
you
is
that
I?
This
isn't
an
Envy
issue
for
me
right.
My
windows
aren't
gonna,
be
blocked
by
a
building
being
built.
AN
I'm
not
gonna,
have
significantly
more
problems
with
the
traffic
getting
in
or
out,
but
what
I
do
see
is
as
a
general
quality
of
life
for
the
city
of
Cranston.
We
have
only
so
much
land
and
more
and
more
of
that
land
is
being
chewed
up
and
let's
not
continue
to
over,
develop
any
specific
area
by
offering
a
general
overlay.
This
concept
of
an
overlay
really
challenges
me
because
there
is
a
front.
There
is
a
permitting
process,
there's
an
opportunity
where
the
individual,
with
these
individuals
and
mr.
AN
Wilder
and
the
group
that
it's
from
that
is
fixed
or
improved
Garden
City.
Congratulations
for
the
work
that
you've
done,
but
we
ask
these
that
you
stick
to
the
process.
Don't
offer
this
overlay
opportunity
that
just
makes
it
by
right
as
opposed
to
just
go
work.
The
process
work.
The
program
work,
the
routine
work
with
mr.
La
Jolla
and
zoning
and
make
sure
that
we
can
get
things
done
one
by
one
piece
by
piece
as
opposed
to
offering
it.
AN
If
you
do
want
to
dream,
gosh
I'm
excited
about
the
opportunity,
if
you're
dreaming
and
find
that
something
new
that
we
can
do
there,
but
don't
just
do
it
with
a
list
of
19
things
that
make
me
want
to
poke
holes
in
it,
find
the
right
thing.
That's
gonna
get
everybody
behind
you
and
will
be
behind
you.
If
you
pick
the
right
thing
out
there,
please
do
your
best
Council
to
to
hold
them
to
that
challenge
them
to
stick
to
the
permitting
process
and
don't
offer
an
overlay
opportunity.
Thank
you.
A
N
AO
Hi,
my
name
is
Carrie
Petrella
I
live
at
2:36
Longacre
Drive
I've
been
a
resident
of
Cranston
43
years,
my
entire
life,
my
grandmother,
lived
in
the
house
that
I
currently
live
in
I've,
been
there
for
15
years.
I
love,
Garden,
City,
I
love.
What,
while
there
is
done,
I
am
NOT
opposed
to
developing
continued
development
rather,
but
I
do
wish
that
again.
AO
As
everyone
else
here
has
said,
we
kind
of
slow
down
a
little
bit
and
just
have
some
concern
about
run
off
in
the
neighborhood
below
traffic
is
a
major
concern
being
on
Longacre
Drive.
It's
a
straightaway
from
Pontiac
out
to
reservoir.
People
do
50
miles
an
hour
on
our
street.
All
the
time,
I'm
very
worried
about
that,
because
it
will
continue
to
grow
traffic
wise,
as
we
know,
Pontiac
and
Sauk
and
asset.
AO
So
some
of
the
same
things
that
everyone's
been
saying
just
I
think
that
we
need
to
slow
down
a
little
bit
and
pull
back
and
again
I'm,
not
even
opposed
to
residences.
I
think
that
they
did
a
great
job
behind
Garden
City,
with
the
residences
that
are
there
but
again
I
feel
for
the
people
at
the
house.
You
know
I
know
people
who
live
back
there.
It's
made
a
big
difference
that
the
problems
with
rain
water,
flooding
noise
dust,
all
things
that
were
worried
about.
Thank
you
for
the
time.
Thank.
AK
A
Mr.,
where
I'm
actually
going
to
take
a
five-minute
recess,
but
the
stenographer
have
a
few
minutes
to
rest
his
hands
because
we
haven't
started
the
business
of
the
night,
yet
so
I'm
sure
we're
gonna
be
here
for
a
couple
more
hours.
Doing
that
so
I'd
like
to
give
him
a
five
minute
rest
manage
day.
I'm
gonna
do
make
a
five
minute
recess.
Starting
now.
N
A
N
A
C
I
AP
A
N
A
Motion
a
motion
in
a
second
under
discussion
with
the
school
diploma,
like
sandy
words
about
the
ordinance,
are
good
and
the
council
members
like
to
speak
on
the
proposed
ordinance
to
the
Finance
Committee
Chair
I
believe
this
is
unanimous.
The
names
have
voted
out
of
committee
counseling
Hopkins,
yes,.
C
E
I
AD
D
A
C
N
A
A
A
N
F
You,
council
president
I
know
it's
a
long
night,
but
just
to
go
over
these.
One
of
these
is
the
same
bill
that
what
we
that
was
introduced
last
year
and
Senator
Lombardi
was
willing
to
do
so
for
me
and
for
Miss
maderos
from
the
Alliance
for
Safe
Communities.
This
would
require
and
I
think
she
spoke
awfully
fast
but
would
require
registration.
It
would
require
notification
by
the
homeless,
shelter
or
temporary
facility
within
an
hour
of
that,
a
registered
sex
offender
moving
in
and
the
reason.
F
The
reason
for
that
is
so
that
we
can
keep
track
attractive
them
at
all
times.
The
other.
The
the
temp
there's
also
a
ten
percent
limitation
bill,
that's
been
introduced
by
representatives,
Lancia,
Lima,
Chippendale,
Solomon
and
Jack
art,
and
both
all
of
these
bills
have
received
bipartisan
support
in
the
General
Assembly
one
of
them's
be
heard
tomorrow
and
the
the
other
one
was
the
other
one
that
was
mentioned
by
Miss.
F
Medeiros
was
an
oversight
bill
over
the
the
homeless,
shelter
management
companies
but
I'm
most
concerned
with
the
the
registration
bill
which
didn't
get
through
the
house
last
year,
but
I
think
it'll
get
through
both
chambers
this
year
and
I
think
it
would.
It
would
definitely
tighten
up
the
security
because
you
have
on
these.
These
are
people
who
have
been
convicted
of
very
serious
crimes
against
minors
and
there's
no
supervision.
They
let
out
at
7
a.m.
in
the
morning
and
they're
free
to
go
wherever
they
want
I've.
F
You
know
the
police
chief
keeps
tabs
on
this
issue.
We
do
spend
a
lot
of
money
monitoring
the
situation.
This
usually
we
heard
from
one
of
the
homeless,
gentlemen,
that
was
kind
enough
to
appear
a
week
or
so
ago,
and
he
even
said
that
their
the
the
homeless,
the
homeless
sex
offenders
tend
to
cluster
together
at
Harrington
wall,
and
they
don't
really
interact
with
the
other
people
that
are
there,
but
that
clustering
is
an
issue.
That's
you
know
a
problem
everywhere,
so
I
think
the
state
needs
to
take
the
bull
by
the
horns.
F
This
time
the
Harringtons
well
was
right
near
all
of
our
elementary
schools
and
public
library
and
I've
been
fighting
on
this
for
a
number
of
years,
and
it
looks
like
it
has
enough
support
in
the
General
Assembly
to
at
least
get
one
or
two
of
these
bills
passed.
So
I
would
just
we're
just
going
to
urge
them
to
to
pass
these
bills
and
I
know
they'll,
be
heard
at
the
in
the
House
and
the
Senate
Charlie.
Thank
you.
B
F
That's
to
campagna
two
of
the
Sam,
the
registration
bill
has
a
House
and
Senate
component.
The
other
one
I
only
listed
the
believe
the
House
bill,
because
the
Senate
had
has
yet
to
introduce
its
counterpart.
The
10%
restriction
has
not
yet
been
introduced
in
the
Senate,
yet,
but
I'm
told
that
it
will
be
so
basically,
the
Reg
registration
bill
in
the
10%
bill
are
the
other
ones
that
I'm
really
centered
on
in
the
in
these
three.
That
I
mentioned.
Two
are
the
same.
Basically
one
house,
one
Senate,
okay,.
D
F
I'm,
a
council
president:
well,
there
are
other
shelters
that
they
could
goto
I,
believe
I,
don't
know
crossroads
and
House
of
Hope
run
a
number
of
facilities.
I,
don't
I
would
assume
that
there
are
others
that
they
could
go
to.
That's
that
one's
a
new,
that's
a
new
bill
that
wasn't
there
last
year,
so
I'm
not
so
sure
how
it's
going
to
do
in
the
house.
You
know
it
may
or
may
not
pass
I,
don't
know
I'm
gonna
them
to
at
least
consider
it
I,
don't
know
whether
they
will
approve
it
or
not.
F
A
D
N
G
F
Yeah,
the
house
51:59
that
representative
lien
Lancia,
Lima,
Chippendale,
Solomon
and
Jack
are
introduced
in
January,
as
members
mentions
10%
right
in
the
language
line
14,
so
it
does
mention
10%,
but
it
does
have
some
exceptions.
I
was
for
like
hospitals,
nursing
homes,
long-term
care
facilities
or
psychiatric
facilities.
So
if
somebody
needed
emergency
care,
they
would
not
be
turned
away.
They
wouldn't
count
the
numbers,
so
I
think
that
there
is
some
restriction,
but
I
have
no
problem.
F
G
A
F
A
F
A
F
F
A
AP
F
I
A
A
E
N
A
A
A
Yeah,
the
clerk
is
gonna,
read,
wrap
these
separately
just
for
the
record,
so
everyone
knows
what's
happening.
Will
the
council
is
to
approve
them
separately?
She
will
take
all
three
of
them.
Redrafting
the
three
separate
ordinances
representing
how
we've
a
solution.
So
there
being
a
no
discussion
Claire,
please
take
the
roll
on
five
one,
five,
nine!
Yes,
yes,.
C
A
G
A
D
So
what
I
would
like
to
suggest
is
this
that
this
go
back
to
the
the
ordinance
committee,
so
that
we
can
look
at
it
more
carefully
and
specifically,
look
at
the
amendment
that
she
is
suggesting
that
we
adopt
and
that
she
also
says
that
the
Planning
Commission
recommended.
So
we
could
get
a
full
airing
of
this.
So
I'll
move
that
this
be
returned
to
the
ordinance
committee
looks
like
the.
A
AE
Thank
You,
mr.
president,
if
I
may
just
add
a
little
bit
to
this,
although
I
have
not
seen
the
document
that
was
distributed
by
Miss,
Harrington
I
understand
the
gist
of
it
would
be
to
treat
the
activities
of
a
licensed
cultivator
as
agricultural
as
well
as
light
industrial,
as
was
the
determination
of
our
building
inspector.
It's
my
understanding
in
speaking
with
the
city
clerk,
as
well
as
with
the
city
solicitor
that
that
change
would
have
to
be
an
amendment
to
the
definitions
included
in
the
zoning
code
could
not
be
addressed
through
this
ordinance.
AQ
F
You
council,
president,
in
dealing
with
commercial
real
estate
transactions
that
just
happen
to
have
dealt
with
one
today
involving
properties
that
are
going
to
be
used
for
this
purpose,
and
I
can
tell
you
that
in
in
Warwick
they're
there
it's
going
in
industrial
zones
they're
not
they're,
not
calling
it
they're
not
going
into
through
agricultural
or
farmland.
Because
of
this
number
of
reasons,
the
security
issues.
F
This
and
the
you
know
the
types
of
buildings
that
are
allowed
and
the
you
know
the
tremendous
amount
of
money
that
has
to
be
spending
in
equipping
these
complexes
and
I
also
know
that
there's
a
move
in
North
Kingstown
to
remove
it
from
agricultural
areas
right
down
here,
shot
and
a
farm.
So
is
it
I
think
where
the
the
zoning
is
going
is
away
from
agricultural
areas
and
not
going
to
them
not
to
say
that
in
the
future
we
couldn't
do
something
to
amend
this
or
to
to
amend
the
ordinance
or
to
change
these
definitions.
F
But
I
think
you
got
to
be
careful
when
you
move
into
an
agricultural
area
because
farms
don't
have
security,
you
can't
use
a
greenhouse
and
think
that's
a
that's.
A
secure
facility,
as
in
fact
I,
don't
think
they're
allowed
under
the
new
new
state
laws,
so
I
understand
where
councilman
cycles
coming
from,
but
maybe
he
could,
you
know,
introduce
an
ordinance
down
the
road.
B
I'm,
not
an
expert
on
marijuana
growing
but
I'm
going
to
tell
you
one
thing:
I
can
read
our
business
regulations
and
it
says
Department
of
business
regulations
requirement
in
161,
Ric
are
300
35,
one
licensed
cultivators
shall
be
allowed
within
agricultural
areas,
including
greenhouses
and
nurseries,
as
defined
by
from
forest
land
use
codes
in
an
M,
1,
restricted
industry
and
an
M
2
general
industry.
But
some
reason,
and
at
the
ordinance
committee
meeting
I
asked
that
question
and
mr.
Cooper
gave
me
a
completely
different
story.
A
different
answer.
A
F
N
F
A
B
C
A
H
Thank
You,
mr.
president,
being
a
resident
of
Garden
City
for
many
many
years,
I'm
very
concerned
about
some
of
the
things
that
were
brought
to
the
tension
by
our
neighbors
tonight,
keep
in
mind
that
I
did
go
and
talk
with
many
of
the
neighbors
of
God
and
City
I
actually
went
in
some
of
their
houses
today.
I've
walked
the
property
and
they
do
have
some
legitimate
concerns
and,
as
a
result
of
that,
I
would
like
to
propose
an
amendment
that
Midway
Road
be
considered.
Residential.
AP
A
A
motion
in
a
second
under
discussion,
just
to
reiterate
to
the
to
the
group
councilman
Hopkins,
has
said
bid
way.
World
will
be
residential,
only
have
a
35
feet,
height
restriction
and
the
current
ordinance.
It
states
that
it
can
be
I,
believe
50
feet
and
have
light
retail
hundreds,
so
this
would
restrict
it
to
35
and
residential.
Only
under
discussion
there
being
no
discussion,
councilman
Palacios,
yeah.
G
AR
Current
proposal
the
ordinance
is
currently
proposed
would
allow
residential
welcome
here.
The
residents
are,
on
top
with
high
of
height
limitation,
50
feet
and
tree
stories
of
residential
above
the
commercial,
so
you
can
get
fifty
feet.
Three
stories
of
residential
once
played
commercial
or
three
stories
of
residential
and
no
commercial
and
a
height
limitation
of
50
feet.
So
this.
AR
B
Right,
let's
get
back
to
Midway,
Road
and
the
residential
right.
Now,
it's
commercial!
If
we
make
a
residential,
they
can
still
put
three
family
houses.
They
couldn't
along
that
whole
strip
of
Midway
Road.
So
what
are
we
solving
by
doing
this.
A
H
B
A
O
Thank
you,
mr.
council
president,
you
know
we
sat
here
tonight.
We've
listened
to
the
earnest
feelings
of
neighbors
Garden
City
has
never
wanted
to
do
in
a
way
that
was
that,
together
with
the
neighborhood
and
try
and
seek
compromise,
I've
listened
to
councilman's
Hopkins,
you
know
suggested
an
amendment
I
we
would
be
giving
up
the
right
to
develop.
This
is
commercial.
We
recognize
that
we
would
I
could
offer
the
technical
language
to
the
clerk
and
you
know
if
she
desires,
but
we,
the
amendment
to
this
ordinance
would
reduce
the
height
as
mr.
O
The
soap
that
that
amendment
we
would
we
would
understand,
council
innopolis
concerned
if
I
might
just
threw
the
chair.
You
know
respectfully
councilman,
Lanny
and
he's
always
been
a
gentleman.
Everything
I've
been
involved
in
you
know
to
make
it
open.
Space
is
somewhat
confiscatory.
It
would
be
somewhat
of
a
taking
of
the
property
and
I.
You
know
I'm
that
I'm
not
saying
that
some
litigious
way,
but
I
mean
the
fact
that
matter
is
you'd,
be
you
know
we
have
the
right
to
do
35
feet
of
commercial.
O
You
know
we
can
go
200
feet
into
the
residential
zone
for
parking,
we're
giving
that
a
lot.
So
you
know
the
moat.
You
know.
Mr.
Wilde
has
always
maintained
that
if
there
was
going
to
be
development,
if
there
were
going
to
be
development
on
Midway
in
his
mind
his
vision,
the
the
residential
component,
would
make
the
most
sense
so
respects
that
house,
when
Lanny
I
I,
would
hope
the
council
wouldn't
eliminate,
take
our
property
and
I,
don't
think.
That's
but
yeah
the
council
on
something
Thank.
X
I
again
robbed
santeri
there
to
Eagan
Road
just
before
I
go
on
speak,
quick
graphic
clarification.
This
amendment,
to
make
it
35
feet,
is
only
for
Midland's
not
for
the
rest,
it's
not
for
the
entirety
of
the
rest
of
what
they
want,
which
could
be
up
to
100
feet.
This
is
only
for
that.
One
strip
behind
Garden,
City,
correct
my
own
I
think
that's
a
good
idea,
but
I
think
it
just
kind
of
brings
home
the
point.
How
long
do
I
have
by
the
way
that
that's
like
it's
not
about
time?
We
have
to.
X
A
AS
Thank
You
Elizabeth
sells
over
121
popular
drive,
I,
look
at
my
breakfast
table,
I,
look
out
the
patio
window
and
there's
the
traffic
light
for
the
post
office.
Walkway,
that's
about
25
feet
above
the
level
of
my
house.
The
grade
of
my
house
I'm
20
feet
from
my
property
line
with
mr.
Wilder.
Whatever
you
put
up
there,
even
the
cars
tower
over
us
and
you're
gonna
put
30-foot
30-foot
building,
that's
just
a
blank
wall.
AS
It's
gonna
be
right
there
on
the
property
line,
let
alone
all
the
possible
stuff
that
might
go
with
an
apartment,
trash
cans,
they're
not
gonna,
be
in
the
front
of
the
building.
What
other
are
the
mess
and
noise
we
have
to
put
up
with
Godman
City
was
not
designed
to
be
a
commercial
center
and
a
residential
center.
It
was
designed
to
be
a
symbiotic
relationship
between
both
providing
one
and
the
other
with
what
Midway
Road
is
not
an
entrance
to
the
shopping
center,
its
division
between
the
two
areas.
A
AQ
No
as
long
as
the
state
law
and
the
planning
director
will
concur,
allows
that
any
proposed
amendment
that
is
made
does
not
have
to
be
realized.
As
long
as
it
is.
The
amendment
has
opened
up
for
public
comment
before
being
voted
on,
which
is
why
the
council
president
is
taking
comment
after
each
amendment
so
that
we
meet
that
requirement.
Thank.
D
D
AP
N
AH
N
F
You
council
president
I'd,
like
to
offer
another
amendment,
I'd
like
to
suggest
an
offer
amendment
that
the
height
restriction
in
the
rest
of
the
complex
be
limited
to
75
feet
rather
than
a
hundred
feet.
I've
listened
to
first
of
all,
I
think
it.
The
the
larger
height
restriction
now
would
be
moved
away
from
Midway,
which
I
think
is
a
very
good
thing.
I
think
that
some
of
the
speakers
spoke
about
some
issues,
saying
that
we
don't
want
to
be
like
Midland,
mall
or
some
of
the
other
areas
and
I.
F
Think
one
of
the
key
elements
to
maintaining
that
Center
as
a
thriving
center
is
some
diversity
of
the
type
of
buildings
and
the
type
of
businesses
you
have
there.
So
the
apartments
support
the
businesses
that
are
there,
support
the
restaurants
and
don't
create
as
much
traffic
as
actually
all
of
us
that
have
to
drive
into
Garden
City.
So
I
think
that
the
concept
that
mr.
F
Wilder
presented
at
the
the
ordinance
meeting
was
good
in
that
it's
an
attempt
to
keep
that
Center
thriving
and
not
not,
will
allow
it
to
decay,
because
certain
stores
do
go
out
of
business.
That
one
of
the
gentlemen
mentioned
that
and
that's
true
and
that's
why
you
need
to
diversify
and
keep
keep
it
thriving,
but
I
think
I.
Think
100
feet
is
quite
a
bit
I.
Think
75
is
really
not
all
that
it's
only
really
I
think
I'm,
not
sure
what
they
have
right
now.
I
think
they
can
build
85.
A
F
In
that,
in
the
other
section
right
now,
so
75
is
actually
a
reduction
from
what
they
have
the
right
to
do
now
and
I
think
this
is
all
about
what
we're
think.
Unfortunately,
for
some
people
they
already
have
the
right
to
build
a
lot
of
things
there.
If
we
did
nothing,
they
could
still
do
a
lot
of
these
things.
F
That's
survived
for
the
last
since
the
last
75
years
ago.
Maybe
so
I
think
that
this
that
would
at
least
lower
the
the
building
size
that
maybe
they're
Bank
of
America
is
or
some
of
the
buildings
in
the
in
the
center
proper
and
also
protect
Midway.
You
know
Midway
is
not
going
to
be
completely
protected.
We
have
no
way
of
doing
it.
F
I
don't
think
legally
at
this
point,
but
I
do
think
they
would
still
have
to
go
through
a
tremendous
permitting
process
and
I
think
what
the
water
runoff
is
probably
going
to
be
the
biggest
hurdle
for
any
any
development
over
there,
and
it
may
prevent
that
development.
You
know,
in
all
honesty,
that's
always
been
a
concern
having
been
on
the
flood
committee,
but
anyway,
I
would
offer
that
amendment
at
least
to
lower
that
expectation
to
a
more
reasonable
moment.
A
I
AR
O
Yes,
mr.
chairman,
mr.
president,
I
appreciate
the
thoughtfulness
of
everybody's
comments.
Here
you
know
in
the
spirit
of
working
with
the
council.
Mr.
Wilder
is
advised
me
that
I
have
the
authority
to
agree
with
that
amendment.
We
we
take
the
right
in
good
faith,
that
listening
to
the
council
and
we
will
make
it
work.
I
want
to
underscore
no
plans
for
75-foot
building
right
now.
If
there
ever
was
a
hotel
is
most
likely,
the
likely
suspect,
rigorous,
permitting
process
through
city
agency.
O
And
if
this
little
poll
of
brought
this
to
my
attention,
if
the
council
saw
fit
to
do
some
in
that
chart
in
the
category
of
wolf,
well
building
markets
on
the
side
of
the
rear
of
a
building,
it
says
1-2
square
feet
per
lineal
foot
I
think
it
was
in
Tennessee,
just
one
square
foot,
one
square
foot,
building,
look
the
and
the
team
was
a
typo
and
if
it
has
to
be
done
in
the
form
of
amendment
I'd
ask
that
be
done
well.
Justice
written
sir.
Madam.
O
A
A
AI
X
My
only
public
comment
about
seventy-five
feet
is:
it
seems
like
a
very
arbitrary
number
cuz.
You
know
a
4
was
35
feet,
so
you're
essentially
saying
we're
going
to
double
it
still
and
I.
Don't
know
where
that
number
came
from
I.
Don't
know
you
know
what
is
I.
Think
and
I
don't
seem
like
a
compromise,
but
if
the
bad
idea
to
begin
with,
then
it's
not
really
compromised.
It's
just
getting
your
clothes
away.
So
in
the
future
they
can
come
back
and
be
like
well,
it's
75
feet,
and
now
we
want
to
100
feet.
AH
AR
A
O
AH
W
W
D
A
D
I
think
the
the
argument
that
a
lot
of
the
residents
have
made
about
this
being
a
blank
check
is,
it
may
not
be
a
completely
blank
check,
but
it's
pretty
darn
close
and
the
argument
that
that
the
developer
is
making
that
they're
all
these
regulatory
processes
that
the
they'd
have
to
go
through
and
they
would
listen
to
public
comment.
There's
a
difference
between
listening
to
public
comment
and
having
the
pop
and
not
having
the
power
to
do
things.
And
if
we
go
to
75
feet,
they
can
listen
to
all
the
public
comment
they
want
to.
D
They
can
build
a
building
of
75
feet
and
the
City
Council
has
no
authority
to
say
that's
an
inappropriate
location
to
force
that
that
force
a
change
in
location,
say:
okay,
we
can
do
the
kind
of
bartering
that's
going
on
now.
All
right,
you
can
have
a
few
more
feet,
but
you
have
to
make
the
following
changes.
D
It
could
have
been
a
lot
nicer
with
a
larger,
a
wider
buffer
between
the
stop
and
shop
in
the
parking
area
and
the
residences,
but
once
the
council
made
that
zone
change,
that
discussion
was
over
because
the
stop
and
shop
didn't
want
to
do
that
and
I
believe
mr.
Murray
was
the
attorney
for
a
stop
and
shop.
D
A
F
AR
Chappell
view
has
a
hundred-foot
restriction
and
that
basically,
because
alex
nani
building
whatever
you
want
to
call
it,
it's
100
feet
high,
so
they're.
The
original
wardens
I
think
this
was
before
I
got
here.
The
original
I
think
the
leaf
called
it
to
be
80
to
90
when
they
built
it
out
at
six
stories
with
the
wood
all
the
fancy
stuff.
On
top
it
was
a
hundred.
We
changed
the.
AR
AR
AR
AR
G
D
I
could
go
back
to
my
stop
and
shop
example.
The
the
point
is
that
we're
well,
what
I
think
is
the
sponsors
of
these
amendments
are
trying
to
do,
is
to
look
into
the
future
and
see
what
the
developer
might
want
to
do,
which
is
you
know,
that's
worth
doing,
but
you
can't
foresee
every
possibility
and
that's
why
I
think
it
make
sense
to
leave
the
zoning
as
is
and
then
when
they
have
a
specific
proposal
that
they
come
to
the
council.
I,
frankly,
are
the
their
general
approach.
D
C
A
You
councilman
I
haven't
spoken
any
of
this
before
we
take
the
vote.
I'm
gonna
say
that
I
think
this
shows
that
the
council
heard
from
a
lot
of
residents.
We
we
think
that
it
was
a
little
too
big
in
scope
and
we're
trying
to
scale
it
back
to
to
find
a
common
ground
between
being
business
friendly
and
neighborhood
friendly.
So
clerk,
please
take
the
role
in
the
second
amendment.
B
A
Have
a
motion
to
approve
the
amended
ordinance
in
a
second
under
discussion
there
being
none
I'll,
just
say
again:
I
think
this
is
a
way
to
compromise
between
something
that
the
Planning
Department
has
already
improved.
We
easily
could
have
passed
it
as
it
stated,
but
the
Planning
Department
has
approved
it
and
we
brought
it
back
to
hear
the
concerns
of
the
residents
council
Marketo,
trying
to
add
something
discuss.
AP
O
At
this
point,
that
would
certainly
be
something
that
could
be
produced
as
we
move
forward.
The
immediate
activities
in
the
soffit
center,
as
I
indicated
earlier,
is
the
wildest
end
opinion
is
that
phase
four
of
the
area
between
Newport
Freeman
Bank
of
America.
It's
the
next
focus
and
anything
after
that
will
come
about
after
you
know
some
careful
deliberation.
I
don't
want
to
think
anybody
to
think
there's
going
to
be
a
rush
to
judgment
here
and
what
we
should
do
next.
O
AP
O
In
the
first,
since
it's
an
any
any
any
expansion
or
redevelopment
or
reposition
or
any
buildings
or
new
buildings,
you
looked
at
a
construction.
Trades
I
appreciate
a
stock
to
Hamels
Thomas.
Tonight
we
didn't
provide
a
response
to
like
Sabatini
and
the
Rhode
Island
builders,
construction,
trade
council.
We're
pleased
to
say
that
we've
been
supportive
of
Union
shops,
we're
an
open,
open
bidding
shop
in
terms
of
we
buy
non-union.
You
know
the
track
record
shows
we've
been
very
supportive.
Mr.
AP
O
I'm
not
prepared
to
go
as
far
as
mister
Duhamel
did,
where
you
know
we
get
into
some
type
of
prevailing
wage
day,
I'm,
not
sure.
That's
an
appropriate
role
here
for
the
council
for
zoning
ordinance.
We
we
invited
all
sorts
of
bitters,
and
our
construction
managers
have
been
both
Union
and
non-union.
Most
predominately
Union,
we
are
prophet
Moses,
were
paying
prevailing
wages
and
we've
never
had
a
problem
with
the
labor
standards
that
have
been
applied
applied
throughout
the
center
in
terms
of
construction
and
I
would
think
that
will
continue
in
future.
Thank.
AP
You
thank
you
for
coming,
so
just
making
general
comments.
You
know
the
way
I
see
this
is
is
Gaudin.
City
is
a
retail
place
for
the
citizens
of
Koreans
in
the
state,
and
krantz
doesn't
want
to
show
the
rest
of
the
municipalities
that
were
anti-business
I
mean
we
have
an
opportunity
here
to
expand,
to
build
its
21st
century
and
upgrade
Garden
City
create
jobs
and
the
more
business
that
comes
to
our
city,
the
property,
the
homeowners
property
tax
won't
escalate.
AP
So
the
more
business
you
bring
in
the
more
taxes
they
pay
we're
very
fortunate
here
in
Korea
with
the
City
Council
and
our
mayor
that
we've
hadn't
had
a
tax
increase
every
year.
But
if
we're
going
to
be
opposed
to
development
and
business
yeah,
the
other
side
of
the
coin
is
your
property.
Taxes
are
gonna,
go
up,
it's
one
of
the
other.
So
when
I'm
trying
to
meet
this
business
half
way
and
mr.
AP
Harkins
and
councilor
Vecchio
put
forth
amendments
to
reduce
the
height,
which
I
think
it
was
a
good
thing,
but
we
need
we
need
to
develop
and
and
bring
business
into
our
city
also
I.
Think
there
was
testimony
about
the
200
wild
turkeys,
my
opinion.
We
should
relocate
them,
maybe
to
South
Kingstown
North
Kingstown
Jamestown.
As
far
as
the
deer
deer
carry
ticks,
ticks
carry
Lyme
disease,
so
the
less
ticks
of
bless
Tia
we
have
in
the
city
grants
and
the
better
off.
We
are
the
health
and
safety
of
our
community.
A
B
You
know
most
of
the
people
who
spoke
this
evening.
A
long-term
residence
of
cotton
city
they've
been
there
20
years,
30
years,
50
years,
they're
there
they
know
God
and
city
better
than
I
know
it
I
don't
come
from
God
and
city
and
better
than
everybody
except
mr.
Hopkins,
and
they
came
up
with
and
the
developer
came
up
with
a
framework.
Mr.
Murray
explained
it
to
us
their
future.
What
they
want
to
do
in
God
and
City
now,
I
also
noticed
the
type
of
businesses
you
can
put
in.
B
B
That's
going
to
be
handled
down
the
line
now
someone
mentioned
mr.
Coppin
auto
had
a
it
was
mr.
Tomlinson
said
mr.
Karpe
Nardo
before
the
one
of
the
boys
he
who
is
on
mentioned
about
exit
or
for
route
37
going
into
copy
and
out
of
properties.
Well,
that's
great
for
copy
auto,
but
doesn't
help
guidance.
City,
I
think
we're
dealing
with
a
couple
of
problems
here:
one's
the
quality
of
life,
the
people
who
live,
especially
in
that
hollow
area.
B
If
you
start
putting
buildings
on
top
of
that
hill,
the
views
going,
it's
going
to
look
like
the
wall
that
Trump
built
to
China
and
Mexico
you're.
Looking
at
a
big
wall,
you
know
and-
and
that's
not
right
for
them-
I
mean
they
certainly
did
their
property
values
would
decrease,
no
matter
how
you
look
at
it.
I.
B
Think
what
we
have
to
do
and
another
one
then
one
last
thing:
Garden
City
mr.
Wilders
did
a
great
job
your
company
did
prior
to
you.
There
was
flatly
and
prior
to
lose
another
company,
the
malacara.
If,
while
the
company
decides
to
sell
this
property
tomorrow
to
another
company,
all
these
restrictions
and
all
these
ideas
that
Wilder
and
mr.
Murray
have
come
forward
with
us
saying
we're
not
gonna
do
that.
We
have
no
plans
on
doing
that.
B
I
I
Unfortunately,
I
didn't
get
the
whole
picture
at
that
time
when
I
thought
it
was.
There
was
something
that
I
would
be
positive
about.
I've
been
going
I
want
to
correct
councilman
Lanny
I've
been
going
probably
longer
than
anyone
to
God
in
City
I've
been
going
there
for
61
years,
I
used
to
ride
my
bike.
It's
a
it's
just
tremendous
memories
and
I
I
owe
it
to
the
people
of
God
in
City
and
my
constituents
to
vote
against
this.
Thank
you.
D
D
Is
you
set
zoning
requirements?
The
someone
who
wants
to
change
the
zoning
requirements
comes
in
and
makes
a
proposal,
here's
what
I
want
to
do
and
then
you
evaluate
it
so
I,
just
I.
Just
can't
understand
that
and
I
think
that
that
this
is
a
mistake
and
it's
going
to
be
a
mistake
that
down
the
line
when
when
either
as
councilman
lani
says,
the
property
is
sold
to
someone
else
or
the
you
know.
Mr.
D
Murray
keeps
saying
oh
we're
going
to
do
things
that
are
tasteful
well,
one
person's
tasteful
is
another
person's
horrible
and
that's
what
we're
supposed
to
be
making
a
decision
and
balancing
on
so
I
will
also
be
voting
against
this,
as
I
voted
against
the
carbonado
pub
proposal.
For
the
same
reason
and
I
think
we've
got
to
stop
voting
zone
changes
unless
we
know
what
a
major
zone
changes.
D
Unless
we
know
what
the
plan
is
and
75-foot
buildings,
which
could
be
commercial,
incidentally,
there's
nothing
and
in
here
I
think
that
restricts
it
to
residential
I
mean
could
be
office,
buildings,
wheat,
that's
a
that's!
A
big
change!
That's
a
big
change,
whether
it's
75
feet
tall
or
100
feet
tall.
So
I
think
this
is
a.
This
is
not
a
good
ordinance
and
I'm,
sorry
that
the
mayor
proposed
it
and
that
it's
getting
a
lot
of
support
from
the
council.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
everyone's
spoken
to
the
council
that
wants
to
speak
before
I
close
council
comment,
I'm
gonna,
say
a
few
words.
I
wasn't
elected
to
this
council
as
a
leader,
not
as
a
developer,
qualified
planners
who
work
for
this
city.
Things
go
before
the
Planning
Department.
They
get
a
recommendation.
Planning
Department
reviewed
this
ordinance
as
it
was
written
and
said,
Council
approve
it.
We
heard
the
concerns
in
the
residence
we
made
changes
to
it
to
make
it
less
impactful
on
the
residents.
A
That
is
our
job
to
listen
to
the
experts,
because
we
are
not
development
experts
we
need
to
ensure
we
have
a
proper
tax
base.
So
every
year
we
don't
have
to
go
back
to
the
residents
and
ask
for
more
money.
That's
why
the
city
has
been
so
solvent
because
we
balanced
the
needs
of
taxes,
business
and
residents
to
say
that
this
will
change
the
entirety
of
this
structure
of
this
business.
It's
completely
off
base.
A
This
business
is
owned
by
I
believe
a
pension
fund
whose
job
it
is
to
make
money
for
their
pension
and
the
wild
was
group.
The
wilder
group
is
here
to
make
money
for
the
person
that
owns
it
and
do
the
right
things
to
make
sure
they
are
good
neighbors
for
the
residents,
so
I
urge
the
council
to
support
this
clerk.
Please
take
the
role.

AT
Name
is
Jordan
Bruno
and
council
president
to
the
Constitution
and
freedom
of
speech.
I
am
NOT.
A
resident
of
City
Cranston
I
would
still
like
to
speak.
Probably
oh,
thank
you,
sir
just
be
with
me
I'm.
Only
here
tonight
to
rebut
I
was
at
home
watch
you
guys
on
cops,
cable
and
cuz.
I
love
politics,
I
grew
up
in
the
city,
I
went
to
George
J
Peters.
AT
What's
a
Hubie,
bein,
Cranston,
West,
I
grew
up
in
the
best
ward
in
the
city
is
what
live
in
the
Knights
Ville
section
I'm
very
proud
of
that
so
growing
up
when
I'll
get
to
the
point.
You
know
people
look
up
to
movie
stars.
They
look
up
to
sports
heroes.
I
went
to
politics
started
with
John
F
Kennedy
Michael,
CP,
Peter,
Pastore,
Frank
Maserati
also
former
I,
know
born
old-school.
AT
But
this
when
I
was
growing
up,
Michael
trafficante
and
my
father
always
told
me:
don't
go
what
always
the
potty
go
with
the
person
and
it
also
person
I
like
to
recognize
growing
up.
There
was
nobody
better
than
running
a
political
campaign
than
John
Landy.
He
was
awesome.
I
played,
he
had
the
pulse.
He
knew
what
the
people
were.
Thinking
and
I
wish.
He
ran
for
man,
I
still
can't
believe
Ward
5
is
Republican
but
kudos
to
you.
AT
The
reason
why
I'm
up
here
is
like
I,
said
I
wanted
to
rebut
someone
had
said:
I
got
in
trouble,
I'm
a
former
school
committee
member
I
was
also
it
was
the
clerk
it's
now.
The
vice
chair,
I
was
voted.
That
unanimously
someone
had
said
I
was
on
the
cars
on
school
committee,
I'm
very
proud
of
that,
because
I
wanted
to
get
involved
because
of
the
people
I
mentioned
I
also
be
aliens.
I
can't
forget
her
and
Charlie
Limon
people,
I
looked
up
to
so
I
want
to
run.
AT
I
want
to
get
involved,
I
won
two
to
one
and
one.
My
ward
I
was
very
proud
before
that
I
really
wide
against
joven,
too
low
Jackie
white
I
got
crushed
the
two
icons,
but
I
got
that
it
like
you
did,
sir,
so
also
I'm
sitting
there
like
I,
said
I
got
in
trouble
and
oh-six
I
was
on
the
School
Committee
from
a1
OH.
AT
While
I
was
on
that
school
committee,
I
did
not
think
inappropriate.
I
didn't
do
anything
wrong.
I
held
that
post
I
fought
for
the
new
elementary
school
up
in
there
Alpine
it's
got
approved,
I
fought
hard
to
expect
you
to
christen
West
that
approved
I
worked
with
Katherine
Kahlo.
At
the
time
we
didn't
have
tablets,
it
was
books.
So
one
day,
I'm
in
elementary
school
I
see
89
high
school
99.
When
I
graduated
I
saw
my
name,
a
student
was
using
the
book,
so
we
fought
hard.
AT
We
got
new
books,
so
won't
be
hold
I
love
to
school
commando
too,
because
we're
dealing
this
I
had
a
young
family
struggling
to
take
care
of
my
illness.
I
got
in
trouble
at
oh
six.
I
just
wanted
to
make
it
very,
very
clear:
cuz
it's
on
Cox
cable,
and
it's
on
t
someone
said
or
while
they're
on
the
committee.
Someone
did
something
wrong:
that's
nothing!
But
the
truth.
I
just
want
to
make
that
very
clear.
I
love
this
city
I'm
very
proud.
When
I
did
on
the
school
committee,
nobody
is
gonna.
AT
Take
that
away
from
me.
I
got
in
trouble
when
I
lost
everything,
I
lost
a
great
paint
job
and
would
a
good
company
in
Rhode
Island
I
lost
my
marriage,
but
people
don't
think
to
realize
that
the
paper
sells
papers
to
sell
papers.
There
was
no
drugs
involved.
There's
no
alcohol.
What's
gonna,
stop
with
this
kid.
I
had
mental
illness.
I
didn't
know
it
after
I
got
in
trouble.
AT
I
got
help
so
I'm
on
medication,
I
go
to
a
great
doctor
and
because
of
my
loving
parents,
because
I
lost
how
many
friends
you
guys
I'm,
not
gonna,
bring
up
what
happened,
but
you,
google,
google
it
if
you
don't
know
but
I
lost
everything,
but
no
one
is
gonna,
take
away
when
I
did
for
this
city
on
the
School
Committee.
Thank
you.
You're.

Set
council
president
communications,
second
law
to
the
council:
it's
been
too
long
meetings,
we've
done
a
few
hours
each
time
it's
been
an
arduous.
It's
been
a
regression.
You
guys
have
really
stood
tall,
the
do
guys.
It's
not
a
usual
II
like
this.
Some
nights
we're
out
of
here
in
an
hour,
but
thank
you
for
bearing
with
us
and
engaging
in
debate
the
best
thing
about
what
we
do
is
debate
and
we
talk,
and
we
sometimes
don't
agree,
but
we
always
try
to
do
what's
right.
I
think
everybody.
This
body
believes
in
that.
A
So
thank
you.
Thank
you
being
here.
Thank
you
for
see
what
the
jury
thinks
over
the
next
two
years.

As
president,
we
spoke
about
this
recently
I
don't
know
if
it
was
last
month
or
one
of
the
committee
meetings
during
the
month,
councilman
and
I
counsel
mistake,
host
and
I
talked
about
a
little
bitty
suggested.
I
look
at
the
situation
in
Central
Falls.
Unfortunately,
I
have
not
had
an
opportunity
opportunity
to
do
that,
but
I
do
plan
to
do
that
and
see
how
they've
done
it.
We
still
have
some
of
the
same
questions
regarding
implementation.
A
D
AE
AE
AE
AE
K
AE
AE
And
I
suspect
their
next
call
will
be
to
this
building,
but
that
that
list
has
not
been
established
and
obviously
if
we
can
confirm
that
National
Grid
will
be
going
in
and
replacing
main
lines,
then
we're
gonna
have
to
hold
off
on
paving
because
it
just
doesn't
make
sense
to
pave
a
road
knowing
that
it's
gonna
be
dug
up.
Yep.
D
AP
A
I
AE
Do
I
have
some
information.
I
do
know
that
the
city
was
able
to
recover
part
of
the
cost
of
replacing
the
light
from
the
drivers
insurance
company,
the
driver
who
took
it
down
we're
still
it's
not
sufficient
to
cover
the
cost,
but
in
the
meantime
we
are
trying
to
get
the
rest
of
that
money
from
the
insurance
company,
and
we
have
also
gone
out
to
bid
for
someone
to
replace
the
light.
So
we
are
moving
forward
with
the
replacement,
as
well
as
recovering
the
cost.
Thank
you.

You
counselor
have
two
items
council
president:
this
year
the
administration
on
/stel
storm
I
was
out
and
about
and
I
was
checking
on.
The
private
vendors
and
many
of
the
private
vendors
didn't
have
a
logo
sticker
on
their
trucks,
designating
that
they
were
on
City
time
and
I.
Think
we
you
were
on
the
council
when
we
implemented
that
council
president,
like
to
the
administration.
What's
going
on
with
the
snow,
more
snow,
removal,
private
vendors
logos,
I'll,
tell
you
why?

Like
to
ask
some
questions
being
the
chair
of
recreation,
we
never
seem
to
hear
anything
at
recreation
in
terms
of
oversight
on
their
budgets
and
where
that
money
goes
and
what
we
do
with
that
and
like
to
address
somebody
with
the
administration
in
terms
of
maybe
getting
the
Recreation
Department
to
maybe
appear
before
us
every
once
in
a
while
or
what
is
it
that
they
do
with
all
of
the
money
that
they
bring
in.
Where
does.
