Thank
you
I'd
like
to
recognize.
We
have
two
council
members
that
are
on
zoom,
but
due
to
open
meetings,
I
believe
cannot
participate.
Council
woman
rinzuli
is
covid
caring
for
somebody,
and
I
did
speak
to
chair
chairman
ferry
earlier.
The
council
vice
president
feeling
a
little
under
the
weather,
not
coveted,
but
you
know
out
of
abundance
of
caution.
Isn't
here
tonight,
I'd
like
to
go
to
our
solicitor
for
a
brief
update
on
the
oma
and
why
participants
can't
participate
remotely
for
an
elected
body.

I
Ken
mason
director
of
public
works,
the
work
that
was
proposed
is
being
done
at
the
intersection
of
park
avenue
and
grace
the
foundations
for
the
rapid
flash
beacons
are
installed.
The
new
handicapped
ramps
are
also
installed,
we're
just
waiting
on
the
actual
mast
and
to
to
get
them
installed.
They
would
do
the
ship
this
week,
so
hopefully,
by
the
end
of
the
month.
That
should
be
complete.
E
Thank
you
director.
Thank
you,
councilwoman.
Moving
on
to
public
hearings.
Is
there
anybody
online
from
the
public
or
here
to
speak
on
any
matters
before
public
works
this
evening?
I
do
not
see
anyone
here
in
chambers,
see
no
public
comment
online
and
no
public
comment,
I'm
not
online.
So
at
that
point
I
will
close
public
hearing
moving
on
to
new
matters
before
the
committee.
E
K
K
We
are
in
the
process
of
targeting
the
three
most
needy.
We've
measured
most
of
the
playgrounds
in
the
last
two
weeks
to
get
the
cubic
feet
and
they
will
be
addressed
accordingly.
The
three
we're
targeting,
I
believe,
is
doric
commercial
due
temple.
That
might
be
a
fourth
I'll
be
meeting
with
some
mulch
people
this
week
to
get
a
plan
on
that,
whether
we're
going
to
buy
it
all
at
once
and
deliver
it
per
se,
or
do
it
individually,
so
that'll
be
taking
place.
K
In
addition
to
that
anything
on
the
list,
I
also
included
what
components
are
at
these
playground
fields,
whether
they're
tot
parks,
playgrounds,
softball
fields
et,
and
the
final
page
was
the
year
that
these
playgrounds
were
built.
Ironically,
some
of
them
that
were
built
years
ago
are
in
better
shape
than
some
of
the
new
ones
it
could
be
used.
It
could
be
the
way
it
is,
but
we
again,
how
do
we
monitor
what's
going
on?
It's
work?
K
Is
going
around
seeing
what
what
it
is
complaints
from
the
general
public
council
people
giving
their
concern
from
their
constituents?
So
we
try
to
address
playgrounds.
It's
an
ongoing
thing,
fixing
we're
trying
to
eliminate
some
of
the
toys
that
continuously
break
the
zipline.
Toys
have
been
a
problem
a
few
times
in
the
summer,
there's
a
ground
piece
that
they
don't
like
the
with
ropes
on
it
and
I'm
in
contact
with
the
big
toy
representative
john
leroux,
to
get
you
know
the
best
product
that
we
can
for
the
new
playgrounds.
K
Currently,
I've
been
working
with
councilwoman
vargas
for
the
friendly
playground.
Her
and
john
larue
and
myself
have
been
exchanging
notes
for
the
playground
over
at
payne.
I
guess
it's.
It's
actually
doric
street
one
doric
street
playground
park
down
there
and
also
in
talks
with
tim
sanzi.
We've
have
plans,
you
know,
try
to
tie
it
together
to
get
it
out
to
a
bid
system
for
the
hud
coven
money
and
those
three
playgrounds
sibo
park
on
florida,
whipple
and
smith.
K
H
K
H
K
Well,
what
we
did
was
we
went
around.
I
had
my
assistant
go
around
some
of
the
workers,
measured
the
cubic
feet
of
all
the
area.
I
have
a
printout
here
where
the
rough
again,
this
will
have
to
be
tidied
up,
but
how
much
is
needed
per
playground
and
that
those
are
how
we
derived
it
getting
to
those
three
four
that
are
in
the
most
need.
If
you
go
by
mechanical,
you
could
see
it's.
You
know
five
to
seven
inches
below
the
actual
cement
line
where
the
wood
fiber
should
be.
H
All
right,
thank
you.
So
this
is,
it
seems
like
this
is
very
pre,
pretty
straightforward
in
the
sense
of
22
basketball,
courts,
23,
baseball
fields,
14
softball
fields
right
is
that
correct.
Is
that
the
total
that
we
have
in
the
city
correct
all
right?
Thank
you.
I
didn't.
I
honestly
didn't
have
that
information.
I'm
sure
that
I
could
have
called
and
had
it,
but
thank
you
for
providing
it
this
way.
So
when
you're
doing
assessments
on
all
of
these
parks
on
here,
what
do
we
have
36
41?
K
E
C
H
K
H
H
K
K
K
What
they
have
been
doing
is
cutting
out
areas
of
that
rubber
mat
a
lot
of
times
if
it's
underneath
the
swing,
because
that
gets
worn
out
more
and
they'll
replace.
That
is
that
the
best
answer
no-
but
you
know
I
was
told
by
our
friend
mr
larue-
that
we
don't
want
to
you
know,
put
rubber
in
unless
you're
gonna
expect
it
to
replace
it.
It's
it's.
It
looks
nice,
but
it's
it's
very
expensive.
K
C
K
K
K
H
K
H
K
H
Trash
is
being
picked
up
on
trash
today,
so,
like
ward
one,
I
think
the
trash
day
for
the
majority
of
the
award,
if
not,
is
all
on
monday,
so
any
trash
bins
that
are
in
playgrounds
or
just
anywhere
throughout
this
the
city.
Are
the
trash
barrels
being
picked
up
the
day
that
the
neighborhood
pickup
is
scheduled
for.
K
J
Thank
you,
council
president,
mr
tisaglia,
thank
you.
I
we
have
some
conversation
on
some
other
facts.
I
see
akidok
is
here
last
time
we
have
a
conversation
and
you
did
do
your
diligence
for
the
basket
court
and
when
you
did
put,
you
know,
do
something
about
about
it,
but
the
most
important
work
race
to
be
done.
So
I'm
really
happy
that
I
see
you
put
it
there,
but
also
we
have,
though
it
back
derek
park
needs
major
major
renovations.
I
J
K
K
Like,
like,
I
said
previously,
that's
a
major
project
and
it's
something
we're
gonna
have
to
look
into.
I
had
narragansett
paving
over
at
aqueduct
when
we
spoke
you
know
months
ago,
and
that
is
a
we'd
be
wasting
our
time
and
money
trying
to
saw
cut
patch.
You
know
so
that's
another
another
part
that
that
might
have
to
be
redone.
J
K
J
J
C
J
K
J
J
J
There
is
two
string,
one
for
a
baby,
so
you,
if
you
if
two
mom
wants
to
have
the
baby,
want
to
go
like
18
or
one
year
old.
Two
friends
cannot
go
this
to
the
spa,
there's
nothing
for
them,
so
I
think
they
are
all.
You
know.
We
have
a
demographic.
We
have
a
changing
demographic,
our
population
increase.
J
C
K
A
J
K
J
K
Gonna
give
you
a
brief
update.
I
didn't
come
with
that
everything
I'm
gonna
tell
you
is
off
my
head.
I
do
have
a
meeting
planned
with
the
recreation
advisory
board,
which
I've
decided
to
recreate
again,
that
was
kind
of
dormant
for
a
few
years
just
to
get
their
ideas
on
some
of
the
pool.
We
want
to
open
the
pool.
E
E
D
K
K
There
are
some
encouraging
signs
that
we
may
qualify
to
use
some
of
that
for
the
reopening
and
or
refurbishing
of
it
we're
deciding
on
whether
it's
what
route
we're
going
to
go,
whether
it's
going
to
be
a
new
one
or
refurbishing,
and
I
got
to
bring
people
in
engineers
in
to
look
at
what's
going
on
underneath
there
I'm
hearing
different
stories
from
different
people
on
they're,
putting
water
in
they're,
not
putting
it
in.
So
that's
something
that
we're
going
to
get
on.
K
A
E
H
F
H
K
H
K
Have
everything
in
folders
ready
to
go
on
all
four
of
those
playgrounds?
I've
already
met
with
tim
sanzi.
We
wanted
to
get
the
splash
pad
thing
up
on
board.
We've
been
working
with
the
you
know
the
friendly,
also
we're
going
to
get
right
on
it.
You
know
we
have
time
as
far
as
the
eligibility
period,
but
it's
something
that
you
know.
I
want
to
get
right
on
put
together
and
get
specs
out
for
bids.
H
F
C
E
Least,
send
it
to
the
city
clerk
a
couple
members
absent
tonight,
and
I
like
them
to
be
able
to
see
this
information
as
well.
It's
good
stuff,
any
other
questions
on
playgrounds
before
we
move
on
there
being
on
director.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
time.
Thank
you.
Great
greatly
appreciated.
That
was
the
last
agenda
item
on
here.
Just
want
to
give
everyone
an
update
that
yard
waste.
Pickup
is
next
week's
the
last
week
for
yardway's
pickup.
E
F
B
F
C
C
F
That
ordinance
is
going
to
be
withdrawn.
I've
I've
put
numerous
revisions
to
it:
kind
of
going
back,
taking
some
of
the
financial
matters
so,
rather
than
resubmitting
it
numerous
amendments,
I'll
just
withdraw
and
resubmit
the
entirety
of
it
after
we
submit
it
to
one
another,
so
it
unless
there's
any
objection
to
that
being
with
tron,
seeing
none.
Let's
move
on
9-2-1-0-4,
that
is
animals
roosters,.
H
C
B
F
D
D
The
petitioner
is
listed
as
the
sponsor
and
we've
had
this
discussion
on
the
charter.
That
just
can't
be
the
other
thing
is.
It
looks
like
I
don't
think
the
solicitor's
office
drafted
this,
because
the
text
of
the
ordinance
would
seem
to
say,
add
colon
and
then
delete
colon.
Might
I
suggest
that
the
word
version
of
this
be
forwarded
to
me,
since
it's
not
a
substantive
amendment
that
way
I
can
get
it
in
the
proper
form
for
the
clerk
since
we're
kind
of
short.
D
D
E
M
Good
evening,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board,
john
mancini,
on
behalf
of
the
owner
applicant
with
respect
to
the
property
located
at
777
cranston
street,
just
gonna,
get
this
situated
so
that
we
can
go
from
there.
So
a
couple
of
things.
Procedurally,
mr
solicitor,
I
drafted
those
ordinances
and
I
don't
have
a
problem
in
submitting
them
to
you.
M
M
D
M
M
I
figured
I
didn't
do
it
right,
it
has
been
vacant
for
quite
some
time.
The
trolley
bond
was
part
of
the
narragansett
brewery
site
and
the
narragansett
brewery
site
was
developed
in
the
late
1990s,
specifically
in
1998
1999,
and
was
developed
as
part
of
a
multi-plan
district
development.
It
was
one
of
the
first
that
the
city
of
cranston
had
done
and
you've
seen
over
time
how
that
has
essentially
perpetuated
itself
into
a
very
sustainable,
complex
and
a
very
youthful,
a
useful
complex
for
the
neighborhood
and
for
the
area.
M
M
Seen
over
the
course
of
time
how
the
parcel
across
the
street,
which
is
also
part
of
narragansett
brewery
park
aid,
I
think
many
people
don't
realize
how
large
that
that
parcel
is
because
it
goes
from
cranston
street.
All
the
way
to
all
goes
from
one
side
of
kansas
street,
where
the
what
was
the
hamilton
building
all
the
way
across
to
almost
providence
and
incorporates,
along
the
way,
a
very
large
pond.
It
also
incorporates
in
the
texas
roadhouse
and
then
incorporates
what
is
now
achievement
first
charter
school
and
then
incorporates
the
cranston
police
department.
M
M
What
autozone
has
been
doing,
as
I
think
many
retailers
have
started
to
do
and,
as
you
probably
have
recognized-
and
it's
been
expedited
by
way
of
covet-
is
the
distribution
centers
have
become
an
important
part
and
autozone
is
no
different
and
what
autozone
has
done
is
they
have
designated
one
location
within
particular
areas
as
their
main
distribution
hub?
If
you
will
and
cranston
has
been
designated
as
such-
and
this
is
the
location
for
it,
which
I
think
is
which
is
is
a
benefit
to
both
the
community
and
to
the
state
of
the
large.
M
So
the
building
itself
is
is
is
going
to
be
a
typical
autozone
and
one
of
the
elements
that
we've,
in
addition
to
the
change
in
zone
in
our
ordinance,
we're
also
requesting
some
change
in
signage.
The
existing
ordinance
would
only
allow
us,
essentially
30
square
foot
sign
and
for
a
building
of
this
side
this
size
and
for
the
location
of
the
building,
the
the
signage
that
we're
asking
for.
M
I
will
start
that
the
signage
which
would
be
permitted
to
us-
I
really
wouldn't
be
adequate,
so
we
initially
asked
for
a
signage
of
about
250
square
feet,
and
that
was
part
of
a
robust
discussion
with
regards
to
that
signage
with
the
planning
board
and
we've
agreed
to
reduce
the
signage
to
100
to
150
feet
which
essentially,
a
sign.
That's
30,
feet
width
five
feet
in
height,
giving
us
150
square
feet.
If
you
go
back
to
the
narragansett
brewery,
parkade
site,
you'll
see
that
the
signage
is
there
and
many
of
those
buildings.
For
example.
M
Recently
the
zoning
board
granted
relief
for
signage
at
the
edge.
It's
the
edge
physical
fitness
or
I
may
have
that
wrong.
But
it's
a
large
sign.
It's
significantly
larger
than
what
is
being
proposed
here,
also
stop
and
shop
in
the
narragansett
brewery.
Parkade
site
has
a
much
larger
sign,
as
does
lowe's,
as
does
bullertin
coat
factory.
So
we
we
think
this
sign
is
comports
with
the
general
character
to
surround
the
area
and
certainly
will
not
be
obtrusive
with
respect
to
this
location,
this
site
and
the
planning
board
agreed
with
that
determination.
M
So
this
project,
as
you
may
know,
started
as
a
as
a
major
land
development
project
which
requires
review
from
the
planning
board.
We
did
obtain
that
review
from
the
planning
board
as
part
of
the
major
land
development
project.
It
did
receive
conditional
master
plan
approval,
subject
to
this
council's
review
of
our
zone
change.
What's
before
you
are
two
particular
ordinances.
One
ordinance
is
for
amendment
to
the
comprehensive
plan
that
amendment
to
the
comprehensive
plan
accompanies
the
zone,
change
which
is
the
second
ordinance.
M
The
second
ordinance
accomplishes
the
zone
change
and
it
also
accomplishes
the
signage
request.
The
site
plan
has
been
denoted
and-
and
I
have
with
me
on
why
she
mentioned
virtually-
I
have
with
me
the
engineer
from
dupreet
engineering,
dana
nisbet.
She
can
put
the
plan
up
for
us
and
kind
of
walk
to
the
pro
the
plan
set.
If
that's
what
the
board
wishes,
I
also
have
joe
lombardo
who's
our
expert
with
respect
to
the
comprehensive
plan,
as
well
as
to
the
zone
change.
M
So
with
that,
if
the
board
has
any
questions,
I'd
be
more
than
happy
to
walk
through
our
our
site
plan
proposal,
our
layout,
both
traffic
layout
internally
and
externally,
and
also
have
our
engineer
testify
with
regards
to
our
site
layout,
I
will
have
at
the
council
meeting
all
of
our
experts
available
so
that
we
can
essentially
go
through
this
project
from
beginning
to
end.
It's
been
a
significant
development
where
the
applicant
has
really
gone
above
and
beyond
the
requirements
for
master
plan.
M
For
example,
the
planning
board
requested
a
a
traffic
report
which,
as
you
may
know,
is
not
usually
done
at
that
master
plan,
but
we
had
no
issue
in
producing
that.
We
also
paid
for
a
peer
review
that
was
done
by
fuss
and
o'neill
and
fuss
o'neil.
It
also
reviewed
our
traffic
report.
We
had
also
brought
the
project
to
the
city
of
providence
because
of
the
location
of
the
project
and
because
of
some
of
the
other
improvements
going
around
the
area,
specifically
with
respect
to
the
bike
path.
M
City
providence
had
some
wanted
to
ensure
that
we
could
incorporate
some
of
the
thoughts
and
processes
that
they
have
been
developing
with
regards
to
that
bike
path,
and
we
were
able
to
do
that
and
that's
been
incorporated
in
our
plans,
so
the
positive
recommendation
was
provided
by
the
planning
board.
Positive
staff
recommendation
was
provided
by
your
planning
staff.
Paying
approval
from
the
planning
board
was
also
granted
conditionally.
M
With
regards
to
the
master
plan,
peer
review
has
reviewed
the
traffic
study
and
found
our
traffic
report
to
be
acceptable
and
viable,
and
I
think
the
uses
will
be
something
that
will
accompany
kind
of
be
a
good
synergy
with
respect
to
the
locate
local
area.
One
final
point:
there
are
residences,
as
you
know,
in
front
of
this
parcel,
and
I
think
the
board
also
knows
that,
based
on
the
zoning,
those
residences
are
non-conforming
uses.
That
area
is
also
zoned
special
zoning.
M
It's
also
part
of
the
industrial
zoning,
and
so
we
think
that
this
site
really
kind
of
comes
together
in
forming
more
continuity
along
cranston
street,
and
that
is
more
identified
in
mr
lombardo's
report
and
again
we
can
prepare
him
for
you
as
well.
So
with
that,
mr
chairman,
I'm
prepared
for
any
questions.
You
have.
C
L
Oh,
no,
no
joshua,
barry
senior
planner
for
the
record.
No,
I
think
everything
that
mr
mancini
was
said
was
accurate,
maybe
just
a
few
little
technical
things.
The
the
zoning
is
not
a
special
green
event
and,
like
it's
a
m2
industrial
zone
both
for
the
existing
site,
the
proposal
of
9-21-02
is
to
change
it
to
c5
with
conditions
and
then
the
residential,
the
non-conforming
residential
uses
across
the
street.
L
L
G
G
There
was,
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
a
negative
finding,
but
from
the
planning
staff,
with
respect
to
the
issue
of
the
gas
pumps
being
located
a
hundred
feet
away
from
the
four
residential
home
three
family
homes,
and
that
was
eventually
withdrawn
from
the
recommendations
by
a
motion
that
was
voted
for
approval
to
withdraw
that
section
at
the
meeting.
But
what
I
was
looking
to
hear
and
didn't
was
an
opportunity
for
you
to
at
least
address
was
that
even
explored
as
a
possibility?
M
M
If
you
see
the
site
plan
they're
located
right
off
of
cranston
street,
they
meet
all
the
dimensional
regulations
and
requirements
of
your
code,
so
they're
perfectly
situated
as
far
as
code
compliance,
but
one
of
the
issues
that
the
staff
had
was
more
aesthetic
purposes
with
respect
to
flipping
the
building
and
the
gas
pumps
so
that
the
building
would
be
facing
cranston
street
and
the
gas
pumps
would
be
to
the
rear
of
the
of
the
building
kind.
Of
keeping
more
of.
M
I
know,
as
I
noted
earlier,
the
continuity
planning
board
thought
that
that
was
an
excessive
request,
an
excessive
consideration
or
a
recommendation,
and
therefore
decided
to
not
go
along
with
that
recommendation.
But
I
can
tell
you
that
the
developer
and
owner
of
the
property
will
look
into
that.
Whether
the
gas
pumps
are
in
front
of
the
building
or
behind
the
building.
I
don't
think
would
be
a
detrimental
impact
to
the
to
the
business
itself.
I
mean
people
know
it's
a
gas
station,
they
will
know
the
pumps.
M
Are
there
and
you
know
the
the
proposal
for
this
site
is
convenience
stores,
as
you
probably
can
imagine,
are
starting
to
slowly
become
obsolete,
and
so
this
proposal
here
it's
it's
a
larger
than
your
usual
convenience
store.
It's
a
5500
square
foot
convenience
store
and
it's
really
going
to
be
marketed
more
as
a
market
as
opposed
to
a
convenience
store
with
gas
being
a
secondary
use
as
opposed
to
a
primary
use
and-
and
that's
also
in
preparation,
for
you
know
the
ultimate
elimination
of
gas.
M
I
mean-
that's
probably
not
going
to
happen
in
my
lifetime,
but
it
may
happen,
and
so
the
the
long-term
range
plan
for
these
types
of
developments
is
to
can
take
that
into
consideration.
So
there's
two
things
that
are
going
to
be
done
there.
One
is
there's
going
to
be
more
effort
towards
a
smaller
marketplace,
with
fresh
food
and
as
opposed
to
just
concessions,
if
you
will-
and
secondly
is
to
also
ensure
that
there's
hookups
for
electric
gas
electric
cars
rather
so
that's
going
to
be
the
other
component.
M
So
I
know
that's
a
long
response
to
your
simple
question,
but
the
answer
simply
put
is
that,
yes,
we
will
look
into
doing
the
flip.
We
had
discussed
that
with
planning.
We
thought
that
that
was
something
that
we
could
achieve
and
it's
something
that
we
would
be
willing
to
do
and
that
condition
that
the
planning
department
had
put
on
there
was
basically
essentially
asking
us
to
use
best
efforts
to
try
to
see
if
we
could
accomplish
that,
and
I
think
we
can
so.
