City

the
speaker's
presentation
and
can
respond
during
the
response
to
citizens
petitions
portion
of
the
meeting
all
right.
So
let's
do
this.
A
H
H
My
neighborhood
is
a
proud
neighborhood
of
working
class
people.
We
built
our
houses.
My
grandfather
actually
built
my
house,
it's
a
generational
house
and
there's
been
five
generations
in
my
house
that
have
lived
there.
What's
really
striking
me.
It's
bothering
me,
I
should
say
to
quite
some
extent
is
the
proposal
that
is
before
us
with
the
five
corners
redevelopment.
H
We
understand
redevelopment
needs
to
be
done
and
believe
me,
nobody
would
like
to
see
that
five
corners
area
get
redeveloped
more
than
the
residents
that
live
there.
The
neighbors
that
live
there
we've
put
up
with
garbage
we
put
up
with
decay,
we
put
up
with
less
than
stellar
people
there
that
have
really
taxed
our
emergency
services,
police,
fire
ambulance
and
things
like
that
overdose,
drug
use
a
lot
of
things,
so
we
really
want
to
see
something
go
down
there.
We
are
not
opposed
to
development.
H
What
we
are
opposed
to
is
over
development,
and
I
believe
the
proposal,
that's
on
the
board
right
now
or
the
or
is,
is
something
that's
on
such
a
grandiose
scale
that
it
just
does
not
fit
in
correctly
to
our
neighborhood
you're
talking
six
stories.
I
know
it's
a
five-story
building,
but
we're
talking
about
a
rooftop
deck.
That's
going
to
be
occupied
with
at
least
half
a
wall
to
keep
the
partying
people
up
there
from
falling
off.
So
that's
going
to
be
six
stories
to
make
that's
going
to
be
towering
over
us.
H
It's
not
something
that
fits
in
with
the
neighborhood.
There
is
one
three-story
building
there
in
my
neighborhood
and
that's
slated
to
be
raised
to
be
coming
down.
Every
other
house
in
that
neighborhood
is
two
stories
or
less
we'd
like
to
keep
it
that
way.
We
are
a
small
town,
believe
it
or
not,
with
big
business
in
it.
Speaking
of
business,
with
the
new
proposal
we've
also
added
in
with
the
new
mud
and
the
tiff
proposal,
that's
in
there
that
we're
going
to
have
some
shops
located
inside
of
this
building.
H
Just
recently,
I
did
it
about
a
month
ago,
and
I
just
did
it
again
sunday,
I
drove
around
the
city
and
the
town
itself
and
I
counted
the
empty
storefronts
that
we
have
here
in
the
city.
I
don't
know
if
you
guys
realize
just
how
many
empty
storefronts
we
have
here
in
the
city.
I
counted
27
with
some
of
them
being
right
next
door
to
where
this
proposal
is.
I
counted
another
24
25
just
in
the
downtown
area,
in
the
shopping
centers
down
there.
H
So
for
us
to
think
that
we
should
be
adding
more
retail
space
kind
of
a
pipe
dream
to
make,
because
we
can't
fill
what
we
have.
Why
are
we
trying
to
do
something
for
a
person,
a
developer,
that's
across
the
united
states
in
arizona.
Let
him
build
in
his
neighborhood.
Let
him
build
in
arizona,
that's
where
he
lives.
Let
him
do
it,
however,
here
maybe
we
should
be
focusing
on
the
residents
here
in
groton.
H
Maybe
the
people
that
own
these
places-
maybe
we
could
help
them
with
grants
or
low-interest
loans
that
we
could
afford
for
them
to
maybe
remodel
to
revitalize
that
area.
Economic
impact
on
that
could
be
great.
I
think
I
really
do,
but
we
should
be
taking
care
of
our
own
first
before
we're
really
laying
all
our
eggs
in
one
nest
with
some
developer.
That's
going
to
come
in
here,
be
a
snake
oil
salesman
and
then
go
out
of
town
with
a
bag
full
of
money,
not
worrying
about
us.
H
We
also
talked
about
wanting
to
make
this
into
a
pedestrian
friendly
place.
You
have
one
minute.
Thank
you.
I
urge
any
of
you
to
come
with
me
when
I
walk
to
work
or
when
I
walk
home
from
work
and
see
just
how
pedestrian
friendly
we
are.
I
cannot
even
get
across
the
street.
I
stand
there.
I
wait.
People
are
looking
at
their
phones
when
they
drive
by
me.
They
look
like
this
at
me
with
blinders
on
and
don't
let
me
cross.
Even
though
the
traffic
is
stopping
three
cars
away,
people
still
will
not.
H
Let
me
cross
the
sidewalks
that
we
have
on.
There
are
not
pedestrian
friendly
telephone
poles,
basically
in
the
middle
of
the
sidewalk,
with
hedges
growing
up
to
it,
where
we
actually
have
to
walk
out
onto
venom
road
to
bypass
that
area.
So
to
say
that
this
is
going
to
be
a
pedestrian
friendly
area,
I
don't
think
so
not
with
a
building.
H
That's
going
to
come
right
to
the
edge
of
the
sidewalk,
which
brings
another
safety
concern
with
the
people
exiting
that
building
through
the
garage
they're
not
going
to
be
able
to
see
the
pedestrians
coming
out
and
somebody's
walking
a
baby
carriage
or
a
dog
probably
could
have
some
dire
effects.
Is
that
my
alarm?
Yes,.
H
I
The
city
is
now
so
desperate
as
move
forward
a
program
of
gentrification
displacement
and
urban
renewal,
reminiscent
of
the
60s.
Our
tiff
and
mud
programs
provide
ample,
give
back
spot
zoning
opportunities
and,
along
with
possible
incentives
from
ground
utilities,
worthless
properties
are
turned
into
instant
cash
cows
for
developers,
but
hurt
neighborhoods
nearby.
I
So
what
is
gbu
capital?
We
learn
about
them.
First,
in
the
day,
paper
august
2019
foreclosures
evictions,
all
it
happening
in
the
five
corners
area
by
gbu
in
september
of
2019,
mayor
hendricks
announces
the
development
of
tiff
and
tiff
goes
into
effect.
In
2019.,
the
summer
of
2020
attorney,
hiller,
representing
gbu
capital,
meets
with
planning
and
zoning
and
by
early
2021
they
have.
We
have
our
first
proposal
from
gbu
and
now
another
proposal,
almost
exactly
the
same,
only
with
a
different
look
going
from
industrial
modern
to
a
new
england
style
facade.
I
I
Surprisingly,
a
letter
from
christopher
west
of
the
scottie
scottsdale
board
of
adjustment
dated
september
22nd,
2020
also
pops
up
the
letter
reads:
hello,
john
and
jeff.
I
live
at
16247,
north
112
or
112th
way,
scottsdale
arizona
and
wanted
to
comment
on
a
letter
I
received
in
the
mail.
I
recently
received
a
letter
from
philip
w
rosenthal
of
rosenthal
in
engineering,
and
he
is
currently
applying
to
the
board
of
adjustment
for
variance
to
the
maximum
height
of
our
building
requirement
in
our
zoning
regulations
of
100
hills
community.
I
I
am
writing
to
oppose
the
zoning
request
for
variants.
We
do
not
need
to
set
a
new
president
of
a
30
foot
height.
The
reason
this
development
is
so
desirable
is
because
the
lots
are
perfectly
designed
and
positioned
to
allow
every
lot
a
great
view
of
the
mountains
and
valley,
depending
upon
the
lot
in
this
particular
spot.
The
obstruction
of
the
views
of
the
surrounding
home,
or
in
particular
in
this
particular
spot
it
will
obstruct
the
views
of
the
surrounding
homes,
hence
devaluating
them.
I
I
I
A
F
F
The
people
from
scottsdale
arizona
do
not
care
about
us
here
in
groton
connecticut,
including
the
small
businesses.
You
know,
groton
city
is
a
wonderful
place
to
live,
but
development
of
that
nature.
I'm
certain
it's
going
to
hurt
my
property
value,
it's
going
to
add
to
situations
that
we
already
have,
such
as
low
water
pressure.
At
my
house,
I
have
low
water
pressure.
So
what
would
happen
if
you
add
80
more
units
to
that
water
pressure?
You
know
who's
going
to
handle
the
infrastructure
of
filling
everything
up,
so
everyone
has
the
same
usage.
A
J
A
F
J
H
J
K
K
A
C
C
A
couple
of
things
I
know-
and-
and
some
of
you
know
this-
that
this
is
an
issue-
that's
before
planning
and
zoning,
and
we
actually
don't
have
a
lot
of
input
or
control
over
what
planning
and
zoning
does
it's
highly
regulated?
They
have
certain
rules
they
have
to
go
by,
and
I
know
there
was
concern
about
the
plan
of
conservation
and
development.
I
know
that
part
of
their
voting
is
decided
on
whether
or
not
something
does
coincide
with
the
plan
of
conservation
and
development,
so
they
do
every
commission
member
takes
that
into
consideration.
C
I
I
don't
think
that
you
know
some
unrelated
issues
in
another
state.
I
don't
know
how
much
that
has
to
do
with
the
city
of
gratton.
It's
a
different
issue,
it's
something
that
we
have
nothing
to
do
with
or
really
know
about
the
different
factors,
but
I
do
think
concerns
over
what
happens
to
the
local
businesses
when
there
is
anything
done
in
that
area
to
me
is
a
big
concern.
I
know
that
we
are
going
to
redo
poquonic
road
at
some
point.
C
This
year,
I
believe,
is
on
track
and
I
have
been
following
up
with
the
mayor
on
how
that
impacts.
Those
businesses
there's
a
whole
little
group
of
businesses
on
poconic
road,
and
I
think
we
need
to
do
everything
in
our
power
to
make
sure
that
there
is
a
pathway
to
their
business.
There
is
parking
for
their
businesses
when
the
road's,
not
you,
know,
fully
functioning.
All
those
things
to
me
are
really
important
and
I
think
the
same
any
time
we
have
development.
C
I
think
that's
important
for
us
to
focus
on
and
as
a
council
member
that
I
do
have
influence
on.
So
that
is
something
that
to
me
is
something
I
will
personally
follow
up
on.
Whenever
development
goes
on
that
corner,
because
whatever
happens,
there
probably
will
be
a
disruption
to
traffic
and
businesses,
and
I
also
want
to
say
I
know
that
we
do
have
a
lot
of
storefronts
in
the
city.
Unfortunately,
we
don't
get
to
control
what
building
owners
do
with
their
properties,
and
I
know
the
last
several
years.
C
You
know
covet
kind
of
threw
a
wrench
in
things,
but
we
do
have
businesses
that
are
expanding
and
coming
to
the
city,
it's
not
as
fast
as
we
would
like,
but
we,
I
think
the
mayor
does
a
good
job
trying
to
keep
those
avenues
of
communication
with
business
owners
open
and
our
economic
development
team,
sierra
patrick.
They
really
work
with
building
owners
to
try
to
connect
them
with
developers
whenever
possible
or
whenever
we
have
inquiries
and
they're
really
trying
to
get
out
there.
The
the
open
real
estate
to
promote
those.
C
So
it's
not
that
those
aren't
being
focused
on.
I
think
it's
just
kind
of
under
the
radar,
because
it's
not
at
a
meeting
we're
not
announcing
it
all
the
time,
but
economic
development
is
working
on
that
and
if
that's
something
that
people
are
interested
in,
please
feel
free
to
attend
an
economic
development
committee
meeting.
That's
where
those
things
are
talked
about,
and
if
you
have
ideas
on
how
to
improve
businesses
coming
to
the
city.
Please
I
mean
you
can
come
to
these
meetings
and
give
comments,
but
economic
development.
C
C
L
I
wasn't
gonna
say
anything,
but
I
want
to
add
to
what
deputy
mayor
was
stating
as
far
as
the
the
empty
storefronts
I
mean
I
I
I
live
on
dame
street
and
I
I've
asked
myself
for
the
last
11
or
12
12
years.
Since
I've
been
down
there,
you
know
what
why
are
some
of
those
empty
and
it
goes
more
than
just
beyond
open
space.
You
know
what
we
see
as
open
space.
L
We
don't
know
that
a
lot
of
those
spaces
aren't
turnkey
and
they're
not
ready
to
to
to
occupy
a
business.
You
know,
and
that
means
a
lot
when
somebody
wants
to
search
a
space
for
business.
You
know
new
developers,
you
know
it's,
it's
they're
doing
the
work
for
them.
You
know
so
they'll
pay
a
few,
a
few
extra
hundred
dollars
a
month
to
rent
that
space.
It's
done
for
them.
Another
thing
is
parking.
You
know,
there's
a
couple
different
things
involved
in
that
just
an
open
space.
L
I
get
what
you're
saying
I
see
it.
You
know
I
go
out
my
door
and
I
see
it
you
know
so
I
get
what
you're
saying
it
is
frustrating
and
it's
good
to
hear
people
on
one
side,
but
I
do
know
on
the
other
end,
there's
there's
people
that
have
the
you
know
are
ready
for
us
and
what
the
thumbs
up
you
know
it
may
be
a
generational
thing,
I'm
not
sure
you
know.
L
I
think
that
you
know
whenever
something
like
this
is
kind
of
just
whoa,
and
then
you
look
at
this
the
structure
and
the
size.
What
not
you're
like
man
we
haven't
had
this.
You
know.
So
it's
it's
an
emotional
thing.
I
don't
live
over
there.
I
think,
if
you
know,
if
somebody's
popping
something
next
to
my
property,
I
mean
I
I
may
think
a
little
differently.
You
know,
but
it's
a
good
perspective
that
you
guys
are
bringing
bringing
forward
one
that
I
didn't
have
in
mind.
L
M
I
just
want
to
say
first
and
foremost
thank
you
to
our
citizens,
especially
those
who
are
obviously
are
passionately
and
deeply
affected.
By
this
I
will
say
that
I've
first
moved
to
groton
city
on
denison
back
in
1967,
my
mom
started
working
at
eb
and
I
used
to
deliver
newspapers
in
that
area
from
way
up
all
the
way
past
washington
park.
M
So
I
tell
my
kids
a
lot
of
the
history
there,
but
there
was
many
many
many
employees
at
eb
and
when
they
walked
out,
we
still
survived
those
houses
were
still
there.
I
really
do
feel
the
heartfelt
sentiment
of
your
house
being
there,
and
certainly
I
live
up
by
fort
griswold.
If
something
of
this
size
was
to
take
place,
I
think
there'd
be
a
lot
of
opposition.
M
I
really
hear
that
I'm
hoping
that
I
do
better
deal
due
diligence
and
looking
into
this
more,
I
really
do
take
your
points
seriously
and
hopefully
there'll
be
some
kind
of
compromise
in
some
way.
I
don't
know
how
it'll
be
one
of
the
other
things
I
think
of
is
that
we
do
have
a
committee,
that's
in
beautification
of
groton.
For
me,
I've
thought
about
this
frequently
and
I
think
about
how
we're
coming
off
the
bridge.
M
We
want
to
beautify
that,
but
then
we're
going
to
come
into
five
corners
and
it's
going
to
be
this
large
complex.
I
don't
know
what
the
beautification
of
that
is
to
groton.
I
think
we
have
more
technology
here,
growing
and
growing
growing,
which
is
good
for
development.
It's
good
for
our
next
generation.
It's
good
for
work,
it's
good
for
the
military,
I'm
a
military
vet,
it's
good
for
a
lot
of
things.
M
N
N
I
I
also
not
just
wanting
to
be
concerned
about
the
businesses
in
the
city,
but
also
our
neighborhoods,
we're
a
small
small
city
and
every
neighborhood
has
value
every
neighborhood
is
important
and
the
people
in
it.
So
I
I
very
interested
in
hearing
what
the
planning
and
zoning
is
going
to
come
to
the
table
to
to.
Let
us
know
of
what
their
thoughts
are,
what
their
plans
are
for
this
and
it's
really
hard
to
make
any
sort
of
value
decisions
or
judgments
right
now,
but
having
your
input
is
very
important.
A
Okay,
thank
you
for
your
comments,
mr
costello.
You
mentioned
grants
and
loans.
We
have
a
facade
grant
program
and
small
business
loans.
I
will
reach
out
to
sierra
patrick,
who
is
our
economic
development
coordinator
and
get
her
to
specifically
contact
those
stores
that
are
right
there
on
paquonic
to
see
if.
A
There
are
any
improvements
that
they
would
like
to
make.
I
know
we
have
these
programs
out
there.
We
try
to
get
them
advertised
and
we
we
try
to
get
that
information
out
to
the
businesses,
but
sometimes
they
don't
get
the
information
for
whatever
reason,
but
I
will
have
her
specifically
reach
out
to
those
businesses
on
aquatic
to
see
if
they,
if
they
want
to
partake
and
are
qualified
to
participate
in
our
facade
grant
program
at
our
small
business
loan
program.
A
And
thank
you
for
coming
out.
This
is
the
opportunity
that
you
have
to
speak.
You
guys
have
spoken,
I
think
at
the
planning
and
zoning
commission
when
they
had
public
comments.
My
understanding
is
public
comment
period
is
over
and
then
they
will
be
talking
about
this
again.
In
their
january
meeting,
the
attorney
has:
we've
talked
to
him
about
making
sure
that
he
reviews
the
public
law.
C
A
N
A
D
N
O
M
C
A
C
A
C
So
I
just
want
to
encourage
people
so
over
the
christmas
break,
I
went
to
a
couple
of
close
family
gatherings
and
I
went
to
a
gathering
where
almost
everyone
got
coved,
except
for
the
people
who
had
recently
gotten
booster
shots.
So
I
just
want
to
encourage
people
that
if
you
have
not
been
vaccinated
or
if
you
have,
if
you're
eligible
for
a
booster-
and
you
haven't
gotten
it-
please
get
it
because
it
is
keeping
people
safe.
C
I
know
of
specific
instances
where
people
a
whole
group
got
copied,
except
for
the
people
who
got
booster
shots,
so
I
just
wanted
to
really
encourage
people
to
if
they
can
do
that.
If
they're
eligible
please
go
get
vaccinated,
and
I
know
the
mayor
is
going
to
talk
about
the
test
kits
that
we
got,
but
the
local
pharmacies
and
stuff
are
they're
getting
shipments
in,
but
it's
always
nice
to
have
a
few
on
hand.
C
So
if
you
can
get
a
couple
just
to
keep
your
family
safe,
so
you
know
whether
or
not
you
are
carrying
the
virus
so
that
you
don't
infect
people.
It's
a
good
idea
to
I'm
going
to
try
to
go
out
this
week
myself
and
get
a
couple
so
that
I
have
them
on
hand,
but
it's
spreading
really
fast
that
so
more
people
in
the
last
couple
weeks
that
I
know
personally
have
gotten
covered
than
the
whole
time
of
cobit
so
the
whole
last
two
years.
M
I
just
want
to
bounce
off
of
that.
What
deputy
mayor
depot
had
said.
I
think
my
concern
is
and
being
a
nurse
for
many
many
years
make
sure
I've
been
in
pediatrics
home
care
everything
and
that's
one
of
the
things
we
look
as
vaccines.
We
educate
it,
we
educate
about
it.
We
talk
about
it,
we
almost
walk
them
through
it.
The
whole
thing
even
have
given
them.
M
I'm
not
saying
I'm
against
it,
but
I
am
saying
what
has
happened
in
saying
stories
like
that
creates,
and
I
even
see
it
in
our
own
workplace.
People
don't
want
to
speak
out.
People
don't
want
to
say
people
don't
want
to
ask
questions
because
they
feel
like
it's
a
discriminatory
kind
of
way,
and
I
do
want
to
be
careful
with
that
when
people
say
that,
so
I'm
very
careful
why
people
don't
get
vaccinated,
it's
really
their
own
right
to
decide
whether
or
not
and
also
those
who
do
get
vaccinated.
M
I
understand
the
thing
now
we
I
know
some
people,
I'm
not
going
to
say
specifically,
who
have
been
gotten
coveted
twice
and
our
vaccine
have
received
the
booster.
So
it's
not
just
the
unvaccinate.
I
would
like
to
keep
that
picture
very
clear.
It's
not
just
the
unvaccinated
people
who
get
covid
and
it's
not
just
the
vaccinated
people
I
mean.
Statistically,
we
really
need
to
look
at
where
it's
at.
M
A
A
A
Vaccinations
is
part
of
it.
Each
individual
has
to
decide
for
themselves
whether
or
not
they
want
to
get
vaccines.
I
don't
have
an
issue
with
that.
I
do
think
people
should
be
vaccinated,
but
if
they
choose
not
to
get
vaccinated
based
on
the
research
that
they've
done
or
things
like
that,
then
then
I
respect
that.
A
A
They
would
also
go
up
after
the
holidays,
meaning
christmas
and
new
year's,
because
you're
going
to
have
family
gatherings
of
people
that,
although
they
are
related,
they're,
not
the
same
cohort
and
so
therefore
the
protection
that
you
have
from
your
own
cohort.
You
may
not
have
that
protection
from
somebody
else,
so
those
are
the
kind
of
things
that
we
need
to
understand
and
that's
partially
what
we're
seeing
now,
but
as
a
result
of
a
lot
of
information.
A
No
appointment
is
needed
and
testing
is
available
to
everyone.
Sema
4
will
process
will
process
and
collect
your
health
insurance
information
if
you
have
coverage,
but
if
you
don't
have
coverage,
there's
no
charge,
so
do
not
let
the
fact
that
you
may
not
have
insurance.
Stop
you
from
getting
tested
due
to
the
increased
demand
for
cova
testing
traffic
will
be
rooted
through
washington
park
and
officers
and
signs
will
direct
traffic
to
the
testing
site
two
weeks
ago.
A
A
We
do
have
testing
set
up
for
tomorrow.
I
do
not
know
how
many
tests
they
have
once
I
find
that
information
out
that'll
be
posted.
The
potential
problem
with
that
is
that
causes
a
panic,
and
everybody
comes
at
like
two
o'clock
in
the
morning
and
camps
out
that
kind
of
thing.
So
that's
always
the
challenge,
but
tomorrow
we're
going
to
have
kova
testing
as
a
result
of
the
kova
testing
that
we're
doing
tomorrow.
We
are
not
passing
out
or
handing
out
our
test
kits.
A
We've
received
test
kits,
and
so
the
city
grant
will
be
distributing
a
limited
number
of
antigen
covid19,
self-testing
kits
and
n95
mass
on
wednesday
january
5th
at
5
o'clock
at
the
city
of
ground
municipal
building
to
city
of
groton
residents.
Only
now
people
will
be
staging
over
in
a
parking
lot
over
here.
At
washington,
park
and
they'll
be
guided
through
here
to
get
their
test
kit,
so
you'll
get
one
test.
Kit
per
vehicle
and
family
proof
of
residency
will
be
required.
A
So
if
you're
not
from
the
city
of
groton,
you
will
not
receive
a
test
kit,
because
other
municipalities
are
also
doing
this.
The
town
of
groton
is
doing
theirs.
Tomorrow
at
fitch
high
school,
all
vehicles
will
enter
through
washington
park
at
park
avenue
entrance
to
ensure
the
health
and
safety
of
city
staff.
We
respectfully
request
that
all
attendees
wear
a
mask
when
receiving
their
kit
and
exercise
patience
during
this
process.
A
A
The
city
will
be
closed
on
monday
january
17th
for
martin
luther
king
day,
garbage
and
recycling
normally
picked
up
on
monday
will
be
picked
up
on
tuesday.
So
if
you
normally
have
your
garbage
picked
up
on
monday,
martin
luther
king
day
is
a
holiday.
Your
garbage
and
recycle
will
be
picked
up
on
tuesday
on
the
18th.
A
A
If
you
notice
out
front
there's
a
box
for
collection
of
personal
care
hygiene
items,
fitch
high
school
senior,
noel
bowles
is
hosting
a
personal
care
drive
to
benefit
new
london
hospitality
center.
Please
consider
donating
new
hygiene
products.
The
dropbox
is
located
in
the
municipal
building
lobby
and
then
to
address
deputy
mayor
depot's
comment.
A
M
I
just
want
to
ask
on
these
kits:
maybe
somebody
else
is
asking.
I
know
they
can
contact
the
office,
but
so
I'm
assuming
that
they're
rapid
and
are
these
ones
with
qr
codes.
It's
just
for
at
home
to
see
if
you
are
not
in
an
emergency
situation.
Do
you
know
what
type
of
test
they
actually
are,
because
some
that
would
you
actually
would
send
out
and
then
some
actually
have
a
qr
code
that
you
could
send
and
then
some
are
just
like
a
rapid.
