- 0:54Goran Timber Harvest. This is on 959
- 0:58Violet Avenue in Hide Park. Uh they are
- 1:01looking to do another round of timber
- 1:03harvest. Uh do we have any
- 1:05representatives attending tonight? Ah
- 1:07come on down
- 1:10here.
- 1:10>> Oh excellent.
- 1:11>> Very good.
- 1:12>> Good evening. Just for the record state
- 1:16your name.
- 1:18>> Uh my name is Christopher Apprentice. Um
- 1:21uh Lower Hudson Forestry Services.
- 1:24>> Thank you. And uh you were at the last
- 1:26meeting we just discussed the overall
- 1:28plan, right?
- 1:30Yep. We uh went over the plan, um what
- 1:34we're proposing to do, um the DEC
- 1:38permits that have already been obtained,
- 1:41um as well as the fact that the property
- 1:43is managed under the 48A forest tax law
- 1:46program.
- 1:47>> Yep. Okay. Um before we go any further,
- 1:50may I get a motion to open the public
- 1:52hearing?
- 1:52>> I'll make that motion.
- 1:54>> Second.
- 1:54>> All in favor, please say I.
- 1:56>> I.
- 1:57>> Thank you.
- 1:59All right. So,
- 2:01let me just ask Miss Moss if she has any
- 2:05comments on this. Oh, for some reason,
- 2:07you do not have a a microphone.
- 2:11>> She's being punished. [laughter]
- 2:13>> Um, I don't I don't have any comments.
- 2:15We're going to need something from DOT
- 2:18regarding the access at the time of the
- 2:20harvest, but other than that,
- 2:22>> and that's been included in the
- 2:23resolution.
- 2:23>> Okay. Okay.
- 2:25>> Good. Excellent. Um, Mr. Mr. Harvey, any
- 2:28comments?
- 2:29>> No, we didn't review the project.
- 2:30>> Okay. And Miss Pauladoro?
- 2:32>> No comments
- 2:33>> other than we have a resolution
- 2:35prepared, right?
- 2:36>> Well, yeah. So, you have a resolution
- 2:38prepared for tonight. Um, you do have to
- 2:41go through the EAF.
- 2:42>> Oh, okay.
- 2:44>> On listed action. So, we'd have to go
- 2:45through part two.
- 2:46>> Oh,
- 2:47>> and I can pull it up.
- 2:48>> That would be great.
- 2:49>> Talk through it.
- 2:49>> We get that.
- 2:52>> Okay. Which is why we're going to do it
- 2:54now. So the um the other thing to note
- 2:56is that because it's a timber harvest
- 2:59and not a traditional development
- 3:02project, there's not a a traditional
- 3:04site plan. And so one of the things that
- 3:07you would be doing tonight if you are
- 3:09ready to do that is to accept what
- 3:11they've submitted as a site plan and
- 3:13wave all the other requirements.
- 3:15>> Okay. Well, and that makes sense because
- 3:17um but they do show, you know, access
- 3:20and where they're going and any stream
- 3:22crossings and they do and limits of
- 3:24disturbance and
- 3:25>> you know they're not showing the trees
- 3:27at at
- 3:27>> Yes. Right. which we would Yeah.
- 3:29Correct. Okay. So, and is that mentioned
- 3:31in the
- 3:32>> It's all in the resolution. All right.
- 3:34So, so let's pull up pull up to Yeah.
- 3:37from the bottom.
- 3:50Okay.
- 3:51All right. So, um, will proposed action
- 3:54create a material conflict with adopted
- 3:56land use plan or zoning?
- 3:58>> No.
- 3:59>> No.
- 4:00>> Will proposed action result in a change
- 4:01in the use or intensity of land?
- 4:04>> No.
- 4:05Well, minimal, right? I mean,
- 4:07>> no or small.
- 4:08>> Yeah.
- 4:09>> Any any change in the use, I guess,
- 4:11would be temporary.
- 4:13>> Temporary
- 4:14>> period of the harvest.
- 4:15>> Yes.
- 4:17>> Um,
- 4:18>> can you can you put the um microphone a
- 4:19little bit closer?
- 4:20>> Sure. Doesn't
- 4:21>> change the use. Will
- 4:22>> No, that's correct. Right.
- 4:25>> Doesn't change the use.
- 4:26>> No, it doesn't change the use.
- 4:28>> Right.
- 4:29>> Will the proposed action impair the
- 4:31character or quality of the existing
- 4:32community?
- 4:33>> No.
- 4:35Will it have an impact on a critical
- 4:37environmental area?
- 4:38>> No,
- 4:40>> it is not a critical environ.
- 4:42>> It's not within one.
- 4:44>> Right.
- 4:45>> Uh will proposed action result in an
- 4:46adverse change in the existing level of
- 4:48traffic or affect existing
- 4:50infrastructure for biking or walkways?
- 4:52>> No.
- 4:54>> Will proposed action cause an increase
- 4:55in the use of energy and it fails to
- 4:57incorporate reasonably available energy
- 4:59conservation opportunities?
- 5:02>> No.
- 5:03Will the action
- 5:06uh affect existing public or private
- 5:08water supplies or wastewater?
- 5:10>> No.
- 5:11>> Will it impair the character or quality
- 5:13of important historic, archaeological,
- 5:15aesthetic or architectural resources?
- 5:18>> No.
- 5:19>> Will it result in an adverse change to
- 5:21natural resources, wetlands, water
- 5:23bodies, groundwater?
- 5:25>> No. That's the whole point of doing
- 5:26this,
- 5:27>> right? You you're reviewing it to ensure
- 5:29that it's not going to have an impact.
- 5:32Will it result in an increase in
- 5:34potential for erosion, flooding, or
- 5:35drainage problems?
- 5:37>> No.
- 5:39>> Uh, will it create a hazard to human
- 5:41health?
- 5:42>> No.
- 5:44>> Is the potentially affected
- 5:45disadvantaged community identified as
- 5:47having a comparatively higher burdens or
- 5:49vulner vulnerabilities by DACA
- 5:51assessment tool?
- 5:53>> I don't think it's in a it's not in or
- 5:55adjacent to a disadvantage community.
- 5:57>> Okay.
- 5:59>> So, Henry's going to follow up. Is it I
- 6:02think it was just north. Okay.
- 6:04>> So it is a DACA.
- 6:06>> It so it is a DACA but is it going to
- 6:08have a small impact?
- 6:10>> No.
- 6:10>> Small.
- 6:10>> Yeah.
- 6:13>> And then will the proposed action cause
- 6:15or increase pollution burden within a
- 6:17disadvantaged community? No. Or small.
- 6:19>> No.
- 6:21>> Okay. So that's that's that. And now you
- 6:23after you've heard from everyone, we can
- 6:26close the hearing and go through the
- 6:28resolution.

- 7:02>> Go ahead.
- 7:03>> A resolution granting conditional
- 7:04special use permit and site plan
- 7:06approval for the Goran uh timber
- 7:08harvest. This is resolution number
- 7:102026-26A.
- 7:14Whereas, whereas, whereas, now,
- 7:16therefore, it be resolved. The planning
- 7:18board determines that the project will
- 7:20not result in any significant adverse
- 7:23environmental impacts and hereby issues
- 7:25a negative declaration pursuant to
- 7:27seeker. Be it further resolved that the
- 7:29planning board, having reviewed the
- 7:31project materials and the application
- 7:33special use permit criteria in section
- 7:35108-8.4A
- 7:374A of the zoning code hereby makes the
- 7:40following findings. Number one, the
- 7:42proposed timber harvesting complies with
- 7:45the requirements of articles 4 and five
- 7:48and is consistent with the purposes of
- 7:50the green belt district. The planning
- 7:52board has considered the proposed use
- 7:54including the property's prior
- 7:56harvesting activity and uh current
- 7:59enrolled and and currently in and
- 8:02current enrollment excuse me in the 480
- 8:05acre forest tax program. Oh 400 that's
- 8:09not wrong. Let me just repeat that.
- 8:12>> [clears throat]
- 8:12>> Uh the the planning board has considered
- 8:16the proposed use including the
- 8:18property's prior harvesting activity and
- 8:20current enrollment in the 480A forest
- 8:24tax program. Number two, the proposed
- 8:26harvesting is consistent with the propo
- 8:28uh the purposes of the zoning code in
- 8:30section 108-1.4,
- 8:32poor, including the appropriate use of
- 8:34land and protection of the town's
- 8:36natural resources and will be conducted
- 8:38in accordance with the approved for uh
- 8:41480A forest management plan and
- 8:44applicable DEEC permits. Number three,
- 8:46the proposed harvesting will not result
- 8:48in excessive off- premise noise, dust,
- 8:50odors, solid waste, or glare, or create
- 8:54a public or private nuisance. The
- 8:56proposed gravel pad and restoration
- 8:58measures will limit mud, debris, and
- 9:00other impacts associated with the
- 9:02project. Number four, the proposed
- 9:04harvesting will not cause a significant
- 9:06traffic congestion, impair pedestrian
- 9:08safety, or overload existing roads. The
- 9:11proposed access and landing loading
- 9:13arrangements are appropriate for the
- 9:15operation, and the gravel pad will
- 9:16reduce the tracking of mud and debris
- 9:18onto the public road. Number five, the
- 9:21property is suitable for the proposed
- 9:23harvesting considering its size,
- 9:25location, topography, vegetation, soils,
- 9:28natural habitat, and water resources.
- 9:30The planning board has reviewed the
- 9:32proposed harvest area, skidros, stream
- 9:35crossing, and landing and loading areas
- 9:37together with the the approval for 480A
- 9:40plan. Be it further resolved that the
- 9:42planning board finds that uh the
- 9:46proposed special use satisfies the
- 9:48criteria of section 108-8.4A
- 9:51and hereby grants the special use
- 9:53permit. Be it further resolved, the
- 9:54planning board having reviewed the
- 9:56approved 48A forest management plan and
- 9:59the site plan set hereby waves pursuant
- 10:02to section 108-9.4
- 10:04C1 of the zoning code. Those site plan
- 10:07requirements of section 108-9.4
- 10:10four that are duplicative of information
- 10:13already provided and are not applicable
- 10:16to the proposed timber harvesting
- 10:17operation. Finding that the submitted
- 10:19materials provide sufficient information
- 10:21upon which the planning board can render
- 10:23a decision. Be it further resolved, the
- 10:26planning board hereby approves the site
- 10:28plan and authorizes the planning board
- 10:30chair or her author authorized design to
- 10:33sign the site plan set subject to the
- 10:35following conditions. Number one,
- 10:37payment of all fees in escrow. Be it
- 10:39further resolved that no timber
- 10:41harvesting shall commence until the
- 10:43applicant has obtained any required New
- 10:45York State Department of Transportation
- 10:47highway work permit or other approval
- 10:49and provide a copy of the to the zoning
- 10:52administrator.
- 10:53>> Second.
- 10:54>> Is there any discussion?
- 10:56>> I just have one item correction. Um the
- 10:59site is within a critical environmental
- 11:01area.
- 11:01>> It is.
- 11:02>> Yeah. The Marici kill critical
- 11:03environmental area.
- 11:05>> But I I don't know if that changes your
- 11:07answer. It won't it won't have it.
- 11:08>> Might change the answer. So, we can keep
- 11:10that the same. Just wanted to note it.
- 11:11>> Thank you. Appreciate that. I didn't
- 11:13know there was another one.
- 11:16>> Reach.

- 12:52>> Uh, we're getting ready to go fishing
- 12:54tomorrow.
- 12:55>> Are you going on a three-hour tour?
- 12:58>> 12. I am 12 [laughter] hours. Yeah,
- 13:00>> that's old school for some of us.
- 13:02Three-hour tour.

- 13:10>> Ah, good good.
- 13:13>> So, uh yes. Um thank you for having us.
- 13:15Larry Budro with Bellefield. At the last
- 13:18meeting, we presented um five plan
- 13:22sheets that we had to revise and working
- 13:25with the Roosevelt Fire District. They
- 13:27wanted us to add some things which we
- 13:31did. I presented those uh five plans
- 13:34last week and uh after that meeting we
- 13:38compiled this set and submitted an
- 13:41electronic uh set to to the town. Um and
- 13:46I can review these five sheets that we
- 13:48sent that I reviewed last week. Uh in
- 13:51addition to that, uh we just received
- 13:55the fire district's uh Roosevelt Fire
- 13:57District's letter of approval a couple
- 14:00hours ago. So working with them, we u um
- 14:05we were able to work through some of
- 14:07their concerns and we got their approval
- 14:09letter.
- 14:10>> Those were very productive meetings that
- 14:12we had.
- 14:13>> They were they were
- 14:14>> and they were very efficient. very
- 14:16productive uh efficient and we you know
- 14:19are very thankful that they uh were able
- 14:21to um work with us to get the uh sign
- 14:24off.
- 14:26>> Yeah, that was good to see come through.
- 14:28>> So I can go through what what we did.
- 14:30One of the requirements was we listed in
- 14:32bold the sheets that we've uh added to
- 14:34the uh set
- 14:37that that that were changed. Uh there
- 14:39was a big note that fire department
- 14:41wanted. That's note 10 on the cover
- 14:43sheet. They wanted to make sure that was
- 14:46on that and once that was on that I
- 14:48believe along with the other items they
- 14:50uh they signed off.
- 14:55This is the site plan and again what
- 14:57they wanted was uh you might remember
- 14:59the stair access was out into the
- 15:01courtyard. They wanted to do it the
- 15:03other way uh bringing it out uh to the
- 15:07curb side which which we did. I can zoom
- 15:09in here.
- 15:14But this is the stair access now. So you
- 15:17have direct access in the event you're
- 15:19on the curb side or parking side instead
- 15:21of the courtyard side. What the issue
- 15:24there was capacity of the courtyard to
- 15:28handle a fully engaged fire. Um, so we
- 15:32switched one there, one here, and then
- 15:35one here, one there, and then same on
- 15:37the other side.
- 15:41The other concern was the way the
- 15:44amenity building was
- 15:46was positioned. So, we rotated it 90° to
- 15:50allow more space between the building
- 15:54and the amenity
- 15:56uh building. So,
- 15:58>> and they match on both sets of buildings
- 16:00now, right?
- 16:00>> Yeah. Yeah, they're the same. Um, and
- 16:03they're uh I believe 25 by 35. And the
- 16:06elevations I did issue today slight
- 16:09revision on them, but um I sent that
- 16:13over to
- 16:15you and
- 16:17>> and the reason for rotating them, Larry,
- 16:18what was the reason that
- 16:20>> he was concerned of the pinch point?
- 16:22>> Yeah.
- 16:22>> Okay. for for e exiting from the
- 16:24courthouse.
- 16:26>> He was worried about pe firemen with
- 16:27ladders carrying them up the hill
- 16:29against people trying to exit the
- 16:30building in a skinny area between the
- 16:32buildings.
- 16:32>> Okay.
- 16:33>> Okay. So, this one was rotated and also
- 16:36when we rotated it uh it was getting
- 16:39over
- 16:40onto a sloped area. So, uh we shortened
- 16:43it up 5T to keep it on a on a level pad.
- 16:47>> Larry, that you provided us with
- 16:50renderings of that building. Um,
- 16:52>> okay.
- 16:53>> Yeah,
- 16:54>> I I hear in one ear, so I can't
- 16:55>> sure
- 16:56>> where sounds going.
- 16:57>> Uh, you provided us with elevations for
- 16:59that building.
- 17:00>> It's the same elevation.
- 17:01>> Which side is the is the windowless
- 17:04side?
- 17:05>> Okay.
- 17:05>> The the windowless side.
- 17:07>> The windowless side. Yeah.
- 17:09>> The unfenistrated side.
- 17:11>> So, I have that on here. So, let me pop
- 17:14down there.
- 17:15>> Right. I know. Yeah, I've seen them. I'm
- 17:17just trying.
- 17:17>> No, there there are two of them and they
- 17:19face in slightly different directions.
- 17:20So when you say
- 17:21>> let's see if we can figure it out which
- 17:25>> it would make sense.
- 17:37>> So there you are. That's the windowless
- 17:39side.
- 17:42>> Right. So on the plan which
- 17:44>> Okay. All right. So let me see.
- 17:50And is that an extended roof that's
- 17:53coming out?
- 17:54>> No, no, no, no, that's not. That's um
- 17:58>> No, it's not.
- 18:00Otherwise, it would be dimensioned.
- 18:07>> Looks like that's the road.
- 18:13>> So, it says west elevation
- 18:15>> amenities. Where did you want to enter
- 18:17from the court?
- 18:18>> That guy. All right. So, let's go back
- 18:20to the site plan.
- 18:27>> From by the pool. You want to enter from
- 18:28by the pool. So, the I'm thinking
- 18:30>> and the amenities building was something
- 18:32that was for the residents, right?
- 18:34>> Yes.
- 18:34>> Okay.
- 18:35>> Something the blank wall is probably
- 18:37what's facing the street.
- 18:38>> Seen the street and maybe they're going
- 18:39to put a sign on it. So then I just want
- 18:41to know if there's gonna be other under
- 18:42other treatment or landscaping or
- 18:44anything instead of just a blank wall
- 18:45facing the street there.
- 18:46>> Yeah. One of the things we don't like is
- 18:48when a building turns its back
- 18:50>> on the on the public.
- 18:53>> Yep. Uh well, let me uh
- 18:57make sure we know.
- 18:58>> Put a waterfall on there.
- 19:00>> Yeah. [laughter] Yeah. We'll get a
- 19:02waterfall in somewhere.
- 19:03>> I like how you think.
- 19:05>> I mean, it's such a small building.
- 19:07I'll add um more clarification on it,
- 19:10but I would say
- 19:11>> it it makes sense that you'd want to
- 19:13enter it from the from the pool side,
- 19:15but could there be some kind of
- 19:17treatment or landscaping or something
- 19:18that
- 19:19>> Now, what we did do is we did revise the
- 19:21landscape plan. That was one of the
- 19:22plans.
- 19:25>> Let's see if we got it right.
- 19:26>> Yeah, landscaping could probably work.
- 19:28>> It's only one story, right?
- 19:30>> Yes.
- 19:31>> It's not going to be super visible.
- 19:35We added a little bit in front there
- 19:37>> landscaping there. You can see
- 19:39>> think of it like a pool house really.
- 19:41>> And then this one back of the pool house
- 19:44>> CCR.
- 19:46>> So north is to the left.
- 19:48>> Correct. Cabana.
- 19:49>> So this would be the west side here,
- 19:54>> but [snorts] I'll I'll clarify that.
- 19:56>> Yep.
- 20:00Anything
- 20:04else?
- 20:05>> So, we uh updated the grading plan
- 20:07because we had to put spot grades on
- 20:09where the egress came out. We updated
- 20:12the lighting plan. There were a few
- 20:13issues on the lighting plan that we
- 20:15updated.
- 20:17Um and then of course um we updated the
- 20:20landscape plan.
- 20:22>> And the lighting with the lighting plan,
- 20:24Larry, did you did you incorporate the
- 20:26pool the effects of the pool or then
- 20:27not?
- 20:28>> We did. We added uh two uh 12T uh light
- 20:32poles. We didn't add add any ballards in
- 20:33there. Uh then on the pool, we added a
- 20:35note. We talked about adding a note. Uh
- 20:38it'll have to get through DO and they
- 20:41have a stringent lighting.
- 20:42>> Okay.
- 20:43>> Protocol.
- 20:44>> Okay.
- 20:45And then we did correct that one area by
- 20:47the dumpster on the souththeast side of
- 20:51the
- 20:56which is um
- 21:02come on baby.
- 21:04Yeah. Right here. So uh this pole was
- 21:07taken out. We added it back in and reran
- 21:10the phototric.
- 21:13That poll was gone previously.
- 21:15>> Did Did you get my comments? Like when
- 21:18you send that PDF, it gives us a way to
- 21:20send it. Put comments and send it goes
- 21:23back. It says it's submitting it to some
- 21:25place.
- 21:26>> Is it going to
- 21:29>> Did you send me an email? [laughter]
- 21:30>> Well, I put
- 21:31>> No, it it's in the PDF.
- 21:34>> Okay.
- 21:35>> It says comments. So, I can It goes
- 21:38>> So, you put some comments. I put
- 21:39comments on the
- 21:40>> Oh, does it go back to me? Yeah. Yeah.
- 21:43It updates the whole entire file
- 21:44actually.
- 21:46>> Oh, so you might have to send the file
- 21:48back to him.
- 21:49>> I I have to know.
- 21:49>> It might be like a marked up word doc.
- 21:51>> Okay. So then I have to
- 21:53>> if it's on cloud, you might have revised
- 21:55the vision. You might be able to see the
- 21:57comments.
- 21:57>> I think I think he doesn't I think it's
- 21:59already updated as soon as he makes a
- 22:01comment. Oh, so that in the cloud in the
- 22:04cloud.
- 22:05>> Just shoot me a note. Let me know. Yeah.
- 22:08So, not like a Microsoft.
- 22:10>> It was that you know I I see that you re
- 22:13uh relocated the generators.
- 22:15>> Yes.
- 22:15>> And on the one building, they're on the
- 22:17back side of the I think the east side.
- 22:20I I could be wrong.
- 22:21>> Yeah.
- 22:22>> Or they're facing the pond.
- 22:24>> Right.
- 22:24>> Right.
- 22:25>> They're hidden out of sight. And then on
- 22:27the other one, they're facing the
- 22:28parking lot. And I was just concerned
- 22:30about, you know, why they both weren't
- 22:34on the
- 22:35>> in similar places.
- 22:36>> Yeah. In similar places around the pond.
- 22:39>> Okay. Okay. Well, the reason why
- 22:42uh So, where are they? I'm going to get
- 22:44to this site. [snorts]
- 22:45>> It should be up at the north, right?
- 22:47>> Yeah.
- 22:47>> Yeah. I'm I'll show you. Yeah.
- 22:49>> So, one's here and one's here, right?
- 22:53>> Yeah.
- 22:54>> Right. And and on the other one,
- 22:56>> they're on the parking
- 22:59>> now. I think the
- 23:00>> Yeah.
- 23:01>> Yeah.
- 23:01>> There.
- 23:02>> They had been at the end there and
- 23:03there.
- 23:04>> Yeah.
- 23:04>> Now, we don't have the room to stick
- 23:07them here.
- 23:09>> No, but could you put them on the on
- 23:12what I'm saying is on the east side on
- 23:14that if that's if that's
- 23:17>> east side of the 30 3,3100
- 23:19>> 3100 that Yeah, that was my note. I just
- 23:22didn't know if there was a reason why
- 23:24not.
- 23:24>> So, well, I'm sorry. You don't like it
- 23:26here?
- 23:27>> Well,
- 23:31>> it's that they don't match, right?
- 23:33>> Yeah. Yeah. I just didn't know why
- 23:34they're not all in the back and
- 23:36>> Oh, okay.
- 23:37>> You know, for sound for sound and things
- 23:39if they kick on and
- 23:41>> Okay. The
- 23:43rule of thumb, Tom, I'm sure can verify
- 23:47this, but you try to, you know, you
- 23:50know, you're running primary to it,
- 23:52>> right? And then you're running it out.
- 23:54The longer that run is, it's pretty
- 23:56expensive.
- 23:56>> I I
- 23:57>> So you try to keep it near the
- 24:00electrical room so you're not,
- 24:02>> you know, running that now. Um, so when
- 24:05you first saw it was right by the door,
- 24:07just off the door. That's why cuz the
- 24:09electrical room. So, you're saying the
- 24:10electrical room is right in the middle
- 24:12of that?
- 24:12>> Yes, it is.
- 24:13>> It Okay.
- 24:14>> It is.
- 24:14>> That That's what I was trying to convey
- 24:16to you in my my comment,
- 24:18>> right? So, you know, so to head it off
- 24:20so I didn't have to waste time at the
- 24:21meeting.
- 24:22>> You know what I would do when you do
- 24:24that? Send them an email that says go
- 24:26take a look and see if you can see my
- 24:27comment.
- 24:27>> Yeah.
- 24:28>> I also again comments need should be
- 24:31part of the record too. And I don't I
- 24:33don't know if I'm not sure on this
- 24:36technology if like
- 24:37>> Yeah, if there was an article 78 if I
- 24:40would be able to import those comments
- 24:42into the record.
- 24:43>> Yeah, I think I think we always want to
- 24:45try to leave a paper trail.
- 24:46>> Well, that's why I was hoping that he
- 24:48would have had the comments. I could
- 24:49have
- 24:50>> She's saying I didn't see it and she
- 24:51doesn't see it and nobody else sees it.
- 24:53>> I don't have it.
- 24:54>> Cynthia doesn't see.
- 24:56>> But I think there's a way to do it. So,
- 24:58let me let me check on that. Yeah,
- 25:01unless he knows to look, it will just
- 25:03look like one comment until he double
- 25:05clicks it and then he'll see a string of
- 25:07comments.
- 25:07>> String of comments because you you could
- 25:09talk about that comment, too.
- 25:11>> Yeah.
- 25:12>> Yeah.
- 25:13I think that's more of an internal
- 25:14working,
- 25:15>> but I think that's what our attorney is
- 25:17trying to tell us is that you're then
- 25:19having a private conversation that not
- 25:20on the record.
- 25:21>> Well, well, if it goes to everybody, it
- 25:23should be circulated to everybody.
- 25:25>> Yes. But unless because then everybody
- 25:27can comment and that's good for us,
- 25:28>> right? Right. And it is it is it
- 25:31apparently it is in the PDF form. If you
- 25:34have pro, I guess if if you don't have
- 25:37pro and you don't have pro, then then we
- 25:40should kind of not do that.
- 25:42>> I think there's got to be a way to set
- 25:44it to red line.
- 25:46>> What?
- 25:47>> You want to send it to red [laughter]
- 25:48line
- 25:51>> because there's no way you're going to
- 25:53but if they're offering that service,
- 25:57it's like a document. a word doc or
- 26:00excel
- 26:02send a red line.
- 26:03>> I mean if you want to do that maybe you
- 26:05just copy I could just send it to you
- 26:08make a list of the comments and export
- 26:10them.
- 26:12>> Yeah I'll just copy and I could copy and
- 26:14past there's a lot of ways I could do
- 26:15it. I just
- 26:16>> but I think the point is is not to have
- 26:18a um a dialogue that is not part of the
- 26:21record.
- 26:22>> I don't know.
- 26:22>> Right. Right. Is is there an issue with
- 26:25the quorum rules? Like if one person is
- 26:28talking
- 26:29>> Oh, interesting.
- 26:30>> What was that?
- 26:31>> Um, is there an issue with the quorum if
- 26:34if they're making comments on on a cloud
- 26:37document?
- 26:38>> I mean, it's it's new technology. I'm
- 26:41not sure I'll be able to get an opinion
- 26:42on it, but yes, I think it it's
- 26:44potentially open meetings violation
- 26:45because you're having discussions open
- 26:48dialogue the public isn't able to log
- 26:50into and see. [clears throat] You're not
- 26:51having it at an open meeting.
- 26:54Interesting.
- 26:54>> But how is that different than a a
- 26:56meeting like if you're talking if you're
- 26:59talking to Larry about something if if
- 27:01one of us is talking to Larry about
- 27:03something that you know comes up.
- 27:06>> No, no. If it's you and Larry, that's a
- 27:09conversation. But if it's you and Larry
- 27:13>> in the cloud
- 27:13>> and Gigi and Chris and Dylan, that's a
- 27:16meeting,
- 27:17>> right? I Okay, I understand. So the
- 27:19question is is the fact that it's the
- 27:21cloud where everyone can see and comment
- 27:23and comment to your comment. Does that
- 27:25make it a dialogue?
- 27:27>> I'll have to talk to Adobe to see if
- 27:29they shut that off. Then
- 27:30>> the question too is if you marked the
- 27:33document as a red line document and the
- 27:35and the comments are on top microphone,
- 27:37please
- 27:38>> and the comments are on top of the
- 27:39document where everybody can see it when
- 27:41they open it,
- 27:42>> then it might not be
- 27:44>> interesting
- 27:44>> because then everybody can see it. Well,
- 27:47I'm glad I'm glad it happened because
- 27:49that's why you know it.
- 27:50>> Well, and and also he's not and if they
- 27:52don't know to look and they're not even
- 27:54getting your comments. So,
- 27:55>> right. So, it's a m it's a moot point
- 27:56from that.
- 27:57>> Okay. So, I'll hear your comments when
- 27:59we go around.
- 28:00>> Yeah. Well, yeah, that I mean that was
- 28:02the thing was
- 28:03>> he was trying to give you a heads up and
- 28:05get there early.
- 28:06>> But he was trying to get get
- 28:07>> so that you would have an answer for my
- 28:10comment basically.
- 28:11>> No, I I do. But I I would say that it I
- 28:14like the idea of getting early comments,
- 28:17but that
- 28:19>> they should either you should like send
- 28:20them to Cynthia and have her send them
- 28:22or something so that there is this
- 28:25record so that we know.
- 28:26>> Yeah.
- 28:27>> Okay.
- 28:29>> So that's it for me.
- 28:31>> Really? Okay. [laughter]
- 28:35>> He wants out.
- 28:37>> All right.
- 28:37>> No, no, I don't don't want out. I want
- 28:39to get it done.
- 28:40>> Yep. Yep. So, Miss Moss, what comments
- 28:43do you have on this phase phase four?
- 28:46>> None at the moment. No.
- 28:48>> Okay. Miss Franson, we've all been quite
- 28:50busy in the last day or so.
- 28:52>> Yes. So, in terms of comments, the
- 28:55anything that hadn't been addressed is
- 28:58been requested to be a condition.
- 29:00>> Uh, but the one thing I would like to
- 29:02highlight is the lighting plan is still
- 29:04off. Um, when I looked at it, the 99
- 29:06version, there's a foot candle around
- 29:0910.1
- 29:11and we needed to be under five. So, and
- 29:15the table, the chart on the lighting
- 29:17plan says that it's under five, but it
- 29:19the actual numbers imply that. So, so
- 29:22that's just something that we have to
- 29:23review, continue to review for
- 29:26>> there's almost always something like
- 29:27that in these lighting plans. And then
- 29:29as we make the changes, it just turns
- 29:31out that there might be other revisions
- 29:32that have to be made for consistency
- 29:34purposes, but that was the one
- 29:36highlight. Um, we also had already
- 29:38discussed and uh I think decided at a
- 29:42prior meeting that the recreation plan
- 29:44will come back to the board. There were
- 29:46just so many potential changes and
- 29:49design options. It's not something that,
- 29:51you know, consultants should really
- 29:53weigh in on. It's really something that
- 29:54the board has to. So
- 29:56>> there was like no uh lighting on the
- 29:58buildings and
- 30:00>> yeah that has to so all of that's going
- 30:01to be built into recreation plan that um
- 30:05the planning board will get to review
- 30:07again. So lighting recreation I think
- 30:09were the the highlight
- 30:10>> show condition.
- 30:12>> Yeah. Others some were addressed um
- 30:14>> good.
- 30:15>> So I think we I think there's progress
- 30:17made and these will just be final review
- 30:19>> and we're going to have a discussion
- 30:20after everybody's comments of how to
- 30:22pull this
- 30:23>> all together. Yes. Sounds good. Thank
- 30:25you, Mr. Harvey.
- 30:27>> Yeah. So, I didn't have a chance to
- 30:28review the whole plan set that came in
- 30:30on 99, but a couple things I noticed is
- 30:32that um in a in addressing the fire
- 30:35department's comments with the new
- 30:36exits, we don't have any walkways to or
- 30:39from those exits.
- 30:40>> No, no walkways.
- 30:41>> So, those exits only used in event of
- 30:43emergency or could they be used by
- 30:45anybody anytime?
- 30:46>> No. No, that is intended to be
- 30:48emergency. They'll they'll be locked, I
- 30:50think, on the outside.
- 30:51>> So, an alarm will go off, right? Like a
- 30:53landing.
- 30:54>> It has a landing. I guess my concern was
- 30:55like in the winter snow removal if
- 30:57someone if a fire happened in the winter
- 30:59is that going to prevent a
- 31:00>> door open if there's a Yeah.
- 31:02>> I and that's I just wanted to ask the
- 31:03question if the planning board wanted to
- 31:05consider walkways or something there or
- 31:06even just make sure that the landscape
- 31:08>> should be signage at least right
- 31:09>> of the route.
- 31:10>> I don't know I don't know how that gets
- 31:11handled.
- 31:13>> Yeah. Well, we we have a landing and a
- 31:15and a spot right on it but no sidewalk.
- 31:18>> It's not intended to be
- 31:20>> No, understood. But but if in the winter
- 31:23they're pushing all their snow up
- 31:24against it.
- 31:25>> Well, no, no, it won't be pushed. The
- 31:27snow won't be pushed up against the
- 31:28door. It just be whatever naturally
- 31:30falls.
- 31:31>> Okay.
- 31:31>> Yeah. Yeah. But what we will do is we'll
- 31:34shovel the landing.
- 31:36>> Yeah, you clear the landing.
- 31:37>> Yeah, we're going to clear the landing
- 31:38so you can get out
- 31:40>> and get out.
- 31:42>> It looked like some of the landscaping
- 31:43conflict with that that route, too. So,
- 31:45we're just making sure there's a clear
- 31:46way out, I think, is is what we need to
- 31:48see. And I think landscaping is almost
- 31:51always a condition also
- 31:53>> uh for these final as we get closer and
- 31:57>> finalize the plans.
- 31:58>> So the other thing that went with that I
- 31:59think was um the floor plan adjustments
- 32:01to move the stairwells to exit on the
- 32:03parking lot sides. So I don't know if we
- 32:05saw did we see the updated floor plans
- 32:07and how that ended up working.
- 32:09>> Did you end up sending something to the
- 32:10fire department?
- 32:11>> Yeah. No, we we sent the um
- 32:15uh
- 32:17>> Yeah. Yeah. The floor, the stair tower
- 32:19gets moved from the inside courtyard
- 32:23side to the outside.
- 32:25And if you want to see floor plans Yes.
- 32:28>> The fire department wanted to see those,
- 32:30right?
- 32:30>> Yeah. So, you should send them over.
- 32:32>> Yeah. Okay.
- 32:33>> That would be good.
- 32:34>> I just wanted the plan to get a chance
- 32:35to see them if they've changed.
- 32:37>> Yep.
- 32:37>> They're changed
- 32:38>> cuz they're done. Yep.
- 32:39>> Um that was all I had on that.
- 32:41>> Okay, good. Miss Badoro.
- 32:46So um we have collated comments uh from
- 32:50the planner and the engineer although
- 32:52the engineer has not finished the review
- 32:54of the newest plan set.
- 32:57>> Um so I think we are like this close
- 33:01we're very close this close to pulling
- 33:03it all together. Um I just want to make
- 33:06sure that we're not overlooking little
- 33:07details that got switched when the plans
- 33:09were updated on September 9th.
- 33:12>> I think that's a fair point. Um, but I
- 33:14do want to I do want to commend
- 33:16everybody for um diligently trying to
- 33:20get uh take a look at the original 68
- 33:23conditions and going through all the new
- 33:26plans sets even with the there was new
- 33:29ones and then there were even newer
- 33:30ones. So I appreciate though the level
- 33:33of detail and um effort that has gone
- 33:36into getting us to this point.
- 33:39Um, I'd like to get our uh comments from
- 33:41the board and then we need to talk about
- 33:43next steps. So, Mr. Tuttle, what
- 33:45comments do you have?
- 33:47>> Um, I had the same comment about the
- 33:50egress as Tom particularly. It seemed
- 33:53like it was a cleared area right around
- 33:55the door, but that the landscaping there
- 33:57was still landscaping in between.
- 34:00>> Um, I had a similar comment about the
- 34:02lighting. It seems like the the building
- 34:04mounted lights are the problem,
- 34:05especially in the courtyard. You're
- 34:07getting spots of 14 foot candles.
- 34:10>> Oh, is that where you get the 14?
- 34:11>> That's where I saw the highest numbers
- 34:13was in the courtyards underneath the the
- 34:15building mounted can lights.
- 34:17>> Oh, those guys.
- 34:18>> Yep.
- 34:18>> All right, let me see. [snorts]
- 34:22>> Yeah, there we go.
- 34:37underneath these guys.
- 34:38>> Yep. Got a 14 right next to that one.
- 34:40Got an 11 right next to that one.
- 34:41>> I'm sorry. Where's that right there?
- 34:44>> Yep.
- 34:45>> There's just a few that are Oh, these
- 34:47are sort of spotlight can lights.
- 34:49>> Yeah.
- 34:50>> Um that are going to create these hot
- 34:52spots. So, it might be a fixture issue
- 34:54that might need to update the
- 34:55>> Okay, got it. Got it.
- 34:58>> I don't know how anybody can read those
- 34:59numbers. [laughter]
- 35:01>> Need a computer.
- 35:08Okay.
- 35:09>> Uh, that's that's all I have. The Rob
- 35:12just raised a a good point about the
- 35:13courtyards that that he can talk about
- 35:15here, but I might chime in on as well.
- 35:17>> Okay. Mr. Waters.
- 35:19>> Okay. Uh, one of the comments I had,
- 35:22like I I said I had submitted, but it
- 35:25went into space somewhere. Um, it was
- 35:29from the amen amenities building. I'm
- 35:31What is the amenities building? What is
- 35:33it? Is it for party parties? Is it
- 35:36barbecues? Uh
- 35:37>> it's mainly um
- 35:40a place to barbecue that kind of thing
- 35:42out of the rain. It's a shelter.
- 35:43>> So So certain tenants could could they
- 35:46book that like for part like Okay. Okay.
- 35:48So here here was my question with that
- 35:50and it's just again it might be a might
- 35:54have to stay the way it is because I
- 35:56know you're constrained with space is
- 35:59when you come out of that building you
- 36:02have a straight you have to pass through
- 36:03the pool you have to go around the pool
- 36:06to get to the fire pit. I it's just a
- 36:09silly question without having some kind
- 36:11of foot path along in in a garden maybe
- 36:15in a in a you know u uh you know
- 36:18butterfly garden or whatever along the
- 36:21building or wherever your landscaping
- 36:23is. So, so in other words, my concern
- 36:26was suppose somebody's in a wheelchair
- 36:28or ADA and they have to go from that
- 36:30building, they have to go through around
- 36:33the pool,
- 36:33>> right? So, you're here
- 36:34>> because you're going to have lounges,
- 36:35lounge chairs there and things like
- 36:37that.
- 36:37>> So, you're here and you want to go to
- 36:39here.
- 36:39>> Yeah.
- 36:40>> You got to go through the pools.
- 36:42>> Yeah. Yeah. And that's going to be
- 36:43gated, right, and locked. So, you're
- 36:45going to have to have a path, you know,
- 36:46it's going to it might create an issue.
- 36:48>> Is there a walkway though between the
- 36:50wall and the fence? No, this is 50 ft
- 36:54wide.
- 36:55>> Oh, wow. Okay.
- 36:56>> How How wide is it?
- 36:57>> 50.
- 36:58>> The whole thing is 50 ft.
- 36:59>> The whole thing is 50 yard.
- 37:01>> But still, it's just
- 37:02>> the pool is 20 by 40, then you get the
- 37:0410 decks on it.
- 37:05>> I mean, are little kid, you know, if mom
- 37:07and dad are down by the fire pit and the
- 37:10child was over here and they're going to
- 37:11go through, do they have to go around
- 37:13the pool and
- 37:14>> Yeah. Yeah.
- 37:16>> way this would Yeah. No, that's a
- 37:20>> Okay.
- 37:21That's all
- 37:23>> from a I mean we already we could get
- 37:24the sign off from the fire chief. It's a
- 37:26little surprising like there is that
- 37:28sort of space issue for fire too going
- 37:31through there I would think. Right. You
- 37:33got these narrow
- 37:33>> go through here.
- 37:34>> Yeah.
- 37:35>> And they're okay with that. I mean
- 37:36you've talked to him about that. I mean
- 37:38>> I didn't talk to him but I
- 37:40>> he
- 37:42can't they go out both ways. I mean they
- 37:43can go out both ends of the building on
- 37:45that one because they made more room by
- 37:47rotating the amenity building and they
- 37:49could still go out to the left. They
- 37:51could come in from the other side. You
- 37:52mean?
- 37:52>> Yeah.
- 37:52>> Yeah.
- 37:53>> So, they could go either way to get out,
- 37:55I guess. It looks like
- 37:56>> Sure. So, I mean, that's good if it's
- 37:57not a fire issue. It's just sort of if
- 37:59if if you live on the other side of that
- 38:01building, you come out that door, you've
- 38:04got to go through the area.
- 38:05>> Yeah. To get
- 38:06>> But I suppose what we could do is narrow
- 38:08a deck on the not, you know, on the the
- 38:13shade side, right? So, it wouldn't be
- 38:15this side. It would be this side. You
- 38:17could narrow that deck and squeeze in
- 38:18the walk here. Uh that that was just you
- 38:20know like I said I
- 38:22>> I don't know if you want to do that
- 38:23though Larry because then you're
- 38:24bottlenecking
- 38:26>> the people around
- 38:27>> the people in the pool area. Yeah.
- 38:29>> Yeah. And you can't move the fire pit
- 38:31closer to the building because then you
- 38:32have a
- 38:33>> then that is a fire issue.
- 38:35>> Fire issue. I you know I think
- 38:38>> I don't know.
- 38:38>> It might have to be the way it is. I but
- 38:41it was a it was something I I noticed
- 38:44and I said to myself that's kind of like
- 38:46now you're going to have to have
- 38:48everybody who's a guest is going to have
- 38:50to have a key card to get through the
- 38:53gate to get down to the fire pit unless
- 38:55they just walk on the lawn or through
- 38:56the gardens.
- 38:59That's why I was saying maybe there
- 39:00could be a you know little foot path in
- 39:02there
- 39:04>> to get around the pool.
- 39:05>> Yeah. So,
- 39:08I mean, that's a good that's a good
- 39:10point. Um,
- 39:15like I said, we could narrow one side of
- 39:17the deck and and put a walk. Uh,
- 39:21>> I got to I got to think about that.
- 39:22>> Yeah.
- 39:25Like I said, I'm I don't I I just It was
- 39:28just something I saw, that's all. And
- 39:30I'm not It's not going to be something
- 39:33I'm like going to that's it, you know?
- 39:37[laughter] Do it. I mean cuz you're
- 39:39done.
- 39:40>> Yeah. You're That's it. No.
- 39:42>> And No. For me,
- 39:44>> it's you've got more space on the other
- 39:46courtyard.
- 39:46>> Yes.
- 39:47>> And and it's a similar situation where
- 39:50the doors on the east side of the
- 39:52building.
- 39:52>> Yeah.
- 39:53>> And the doors on the west side. The only
- 39:56accessible path sort of connecting
- 39:58through the courtyard is through the the
- 39:59pool area. And
- 40:01>> yep.
- 40:06>> Yeah. Same thing.
- 40:08>> Yeah. I know this is a maybe it's a dumb
- 40:11question. I'm not sure. But
- 40:13if you push the pool all if you push the
- 40:16pool all the way down
- 40:18>> and put the fire pit between the
- 40:19building and the pool,
- 40:21I mean, is that really a fire issue?
- 40:25I mean, between the amenity building and
- 40:27the uh and the pool.
- 40:28>> No, he's saying if you switched it, this
- 40:30>> guy stick it here and move the pool down
- 40:32here.
- 40:33>> Yeah. Move it down and you create a
- 40:35courtyard in front of the amenity
- 40:36building, which is kind of nice with a
- 40:39fire pit and people It's like And you
- 40:41have, you know, the building opens up
- 40:43into a mini courtyard with the fire pit.
- 40:48>> I don't want to change anything. I'm
- 40:49just
- 40:51>> I don't know. I mean,
- 40:53>> you're going to dig a hole for the pool.
- 40:55>> I mean, it's not just circulation on
- 40:56these amended spaces. It's also
- 40:58accessibility. I mean, this is really
- 41:01the issue. So, it there might be a a way
- 41:05to mix it up, Larry, where you switch
- 41:08the components, but I think your
- 41:10accessibility issue is is still going to
- 41:14be an issue in these spaces.
- 41:21Think
- 41:22>> food for thought.
- 41:23>> Got to think about it.
- 41:24>> Okay.
- 41:26>> Anything else, Rob?
- 41:28>> No. Okay.
- 41:29>> I hate it,
- 41:30>> Mr. [laughter] Oliver.
- 41:32>> Good comments. Good comments.
- 41:34>> No comments.
- 41:35>> Okay. Miss Lee,
- 41:36>> no other comments. Sorry. Thank you.
- 41:37>> Okay. Thank you,
- 41:38>> Mr. Garcio.
- 41:39>> None.
- 41:41>> Okay. Um, my only uh question is, so the
- 41:46pool lighting is dictated by Department
- 41:48of Health.
- 41:49>> Mhm. Um, and I think I saw
- 41:52>> and the whole per pool permit
- 41:54>> the whole permitting. Right. Right. So,
- 41:56from a lighting perspective, it could be
- 41:58pretty bright around the pool, right?
- 42:01>> Yeah. They have pretty high.
- 42:03>> Yeah. You don't want people stumbling
- 42:04around at night.
- 42:07>> So, we'll concern
- 42:08>> that's not on here, right? We don't know
- 42:10what that is.
- 42:11>> Okay.
- 42:11>> This is not a pool permit plan.
- 42:14>> Gotcha.
- 42:17>> Okay. Um, is there anybody here from the
- 42:20public that would like to speak to this
- 42:21application?
- 42:23>> Okay. So, let's talk about next steps.
- 42:26>> Um, we did have a draft resolution
- 42:29pulled together at the 11th hour this
- 42:31afternoon, but nobody's really had a
- 42:33chance to review it, and we know that
- 42:36there's been five [clears throat]
- 42:37revised plan sheets that have come out
- 42:40in the last week. So, we were talking
- 42:42before uh tonight's meeting about how we
- 42:46move and get to a signed conditional
- 42:49approval.
- 42:51>> So consultants, we would like to see if
- 42:53we could get
- 42:56everyone here and do a page turn with
- 42:58the final plan set because like Tom has
- 43:01not done that and match them up against
- 43:05the resolution as it stands
- 43:07and just it's a great opportunity to
- 43:10just um figure out
- 43:12the final list of res uh conditions on
- 43:15the resolution. So because it's 3 weeks
- 43:19now between the next meeting so we don't
- 43:21want to wait 3 weeks.
- 43:23>> I just want to ask a question. Are we
- 43:24are we basing that on the 99 submission
- 43:26or are we expecting something new?
- 43:28>> 99
- 43:30>> 99. Uh yes.
- 43:35So we have the electronic plan set and
- 43:37we have a do we have the physical plan
- 43:39set
- 43:40>> and the five sheets
- 43:42>> and the five updated sheets. Right.
- 43:45because it was 91 and 99.
- 43:48>> I have five sheets,
- 43:50>> right? So, those are the sheets.
- 43:51>> So, we're trying to figure out how to do
- 43:52a page turn.
- 43:52>> So, that's the current paper set.
- 43:58>> The five pages,
- 43:59>> five pages plus the uh the [snorts] set
- 44:02full set that was submitted prior to it
- 44:05was submitted um
- 44:07>> is that 91?
- 44:08>> I think they never got paper.
- 44:11August 18th.
- 44:13>> We got digital copies of the whole 99.
- 44:16Yeah.
- 44:16>> Right. But that's hard to do a page
- 44:18turn.
- 44:18>> August 18th [snorts] was the
- 44:20>> Okay. So that there was an August 18th
- 44:23full submission, right?
- 44:24>> Yeah. For the September 2nd planning
- 44:27board. Then we
- 44:28>> then five updated sheets, right? met
- 44:31with the fire chief during that period
- 44:33of
- 44:34and then we presented those sheets uh
- 44:37the changes at the September 2nd meeting
- 44:41and we reissued the electronic set last
- 44:45week.
- 44:46>> Okay.
- 44:46>> With those five set sheets.
- 44:48>> So if we take the August 18th submission
- 44:50and we have the five updated plan
- 44:53>> Y
- 44:53>> sheets
- 44:54>> that we swap out
- 44:56>> and the two elevations
- 44:57>> and the two elevation sheets that were
- 44:59submitted. You can do a page turn
- 45:02and and be
- 45:05comfortable that you're looking at all
- 45:06of the most recent submissions
- 45:10>> and then that way
- 45:11>> if if you want Cynthia, I'll run a a
- 45:14clean full set
- 45:15>> if that's helpful.
- 45:16>> I think we can manage. Okay,
- 45:19>> we can't manage I would say we can
- 45:20manage with just those seven sheets to
- 45:22swap out, but
- 45:24>> I've been overruled there.
- 45:26>> But it is different. There's lighting
- 45:27changes. That's what I'm I'm challenged
- 45:28by. It doesn't seem complete.
- 45:30>> No, the lighting changes are in the
- 45:34five.
- 45:35>> They're in the five that were submitted
- 45:37on the second,
- 45:38>> but those were incorporated in 99,
- 45:41right? Those are part of the 99 set.
- 45:43>> Yes. Correct.
- 45:44>> Yes.
- 45:44>> And there's still issues,
- 45:46>> right? So,
- 45:47>> so that's the page.
- 45:48>> So, they don't go away. I mean, they
- 45:49don't go away. They just
- 45:51>> you'll be you'll be able to detail the
- 45:53condition maybe more fully.
- 45:55>> We're not making any new changes. We
- 45:56just need a final set that we can write
- 45:58our conditions.
- 45:59>> I'm happy to do that.
- 46:04>> That's the digital set.
- 46:06>> Are we sure? [laughter]
- 46:09>> That's my concern is just are we certain
- 46:11that more comfortable having a print of
- 46:13the 99 set all one set so we don't have
- 46:15to mix and match
- 46:16>> just in case. Okay. Yeah.
- 46:19>> At least one. So then so then the next
- 46:22question is when can we meet?
- 46:26Then again, this is all your calendars.
- 46:30I don't think we're going to be able to
- 46:31do it for Friday mornings, Victoria,
- 46:33because I don't think we'll have a full
- 46:34plan set by then.
- 46:38>> I I mean, I was saying I'm free all day
- 46:40Friday if we wanted to do it this
- 46:42Friday.
- 46:42>> I can I can get you a full plan this
- 46:44Friday. I can't
- 46:46>> by Friday.
- 46:47>> Yeah, I'll have I'll have
- 46:51>> I can't.
- 46:54>> All right. So
- 46:56talk did you how do your calendars look?
- 46:59>> Are we looking to include the applicant
- 47:01and the planning board?
- 47:02>> No, no, this is just consultant page
- 47:04turn to define a definitive set of
- 47:08conditions for the this resolution that
- 47:11we would like to do. And then when you
- 47:14do, you can go off and get that
- 47:16resolution written. And then we would
- 47:19like to set we would like to set a
- 47:21special meeting
- 47:23to approve the conditional
- 47:25approval. I can do Tuesday and Thursday
- 47:28of next week.
- 47:29>> Tuesday and Thursday.
- 47:30>> Yeah. My Fridays I have events going on.
- 47:34>> I could do Thursday the 24th.
- 47:36>> How are you in the morning?
- 47:38>> 24th.
- 47:39>> How early?
- 47:41>> I could be here early.
- 47:43>> What's 9:39?
- 47:45>> Bonnie's driving the farthest. I I can
- 47:48come up early if that's what everybody
- 47:49needs.
- 47:51>> So, what time on the 24th?
- 47:54>> 8:30 or 9ine?
- 47:55>> 9. [laughter]
- 47:56>> Okay.
- 47:58>> Okay. So, no. No. No. Next week is fine,
- 48:02Larry, to bring in that full plan set.
- 48:04So, Thursday
- 48:0624th is a week from tomorrow.
- 48:08>> Yep. So, if you can get a full plan set
- 48:09in by Friday or Monday, that would be
- 48:11great.
- 48:12>> Okay.
- 48:14That way it's just here in case anybody
- 48:16want to get wants to get a preview.
- 48:18>> So then the next question is
- 48:20>> if you guys do page turn
- 48:24>> and you get the list of conditions,
- 48:27when would we have a prepared resolution
- 48:30because I would like to adjourn our
- 48:33public hearing to a date where we can
- 48:35have a special meeting
- 48:37and consider the approval of that
- 48:40resolution. So for me the idea is that I
- 48:43would we would we would try to craft the
- 48:46conditions based on this discussion at
- 48:48the page turns kind of real time
- 48:51>> and then clean it up and send it around.
- 48:53So I would think we would have a final
- 48:55resolution by Monday the 28th.
- 49:04So then I have to ask my playing board
- 49:07colleagues
- 49:09so I'm I'm out.
- 49:12>> I'm wondering if we did something at
- 49:14five o'clock would we have
- 49:16>> or is during the day. How is everybody's
- 49:19schedules looking?
- 49:20>> That's actually open for me right now.
- 49:23>> Day is fine for me.
- 49:25>> Okay. Uh what time?
- 49:31>> There's a there's a chance I might get
- 49:32something scheduled I can't miss between
- 49:34now and then, but at the moment it's
- 49:36totally open. So,
- 49:37>> okay.
- 49:39So when should we what
- 49:40>> what day?
- 49:41>> Uh Monday the 28th
- 49:44are we confident about the this or
- 49:46should we buy us ourselves a little bit
- 49:48of time?
- 49:49>> I prefer
- 49:50>> it's I think you guys are really close.
- 49:51So I I think that
- 49:53>> it's it's really cleaning it up.
- 49:55>> We were just talking about
- 49:57>> whether the cons I'm out that week but I
- 49:59don't necessarily have to be here if you
- 50:01just have a resolution. Yeah. Okay.
- 50:03>> And we only need four, right?
- 50:04>> And we only we need four planning board
- 50:06members. We need Cynthia.
- 50:09>> Yeah.
- 50:09>> And if possible, it'd be nice to have
- 50:12this video, but
- 50:14>> but it would be noticed. It would be
- 50:15public. It would be the
- 50:16>> right. I'd like to adjourn the public
- 50:17hearing to whatever date we choose and
- 50:19time.
- 50:20>> I'll make sure I make myself available
- 50:22for whatever time.
- 50:22>> So, is there a feel for time?
- 50:24>> On the 28th. I could only do the evening
- 50:27and I
- 50:28>> Okay, we might have But we might have
- 50:29four if
- 50:32one, two, three. Don probably can.
- 50:35>> Yeah. And if not, so if we do it later
- 50:38in the day,
- 50:40>> what when you say evening?
- 50:41>> Um, anytime after like uh
- 50:45>> 10:00 at night,
- 50:46>> like after 4 p.m.
- 50:48>> After 4.
- 50:55>> So maybe 5:00 on Monday the 28th.
- 51:00>> I Madam Secretary, that
- 51:04>> unless they
- 51:05But they are the other names.
- 51:07>> Okay.
- 51:08>> Do we want to try that then?
- 51:10>> Hold on.
- 51:10>> So, do we want to close the hearing
- 51:12tonight and then if that doesn't work,
- 51:14you can
- 51:16>> have to continue the hearing to a
- 51:18specific date.
- 51:19>> So, we'd like to Yeah.
- 51:21>> Monday the 28th at 5:00 p.m.
- 51:22>> If we
- 51:24Why not close the hearing
- 51:27>> today?
- 51:28has a new submission
- 51:29>> if there's no new submission coming.
- 51:32That way if something does go wrong with
- 51:34the date, we're not having to like
- 51:36>> show up scramble scramble
- 51:38>> scramble open the open and close the the
- 51:40>> do a full full-blown scramble.
- 51:42>> Right. Right. Keep it simple.
- 51:43>> Yeah.
- 51:43>> I don't know.
- 51:44>> I am I'm fine with that.
- 51:46>> I I mean I think the public has had a
- 51:48ample opportunity to comment.
- 51:50>> Yep. Um
- 51:50>> agreed.
- 51:51>> No one came tonight.
- 51:53>> Yep. And if you're not and there's no
- 51:55new no new changes between now and the
- 51:57next meeting.
- 51:58>> Correct.
- 51:59>> Okay. Yes. I mean, we've given you food
- 52:01for thought, but we didn't say go change
- 52:03something,
- 52:04>> right?
- 52:04>> Okay.
- 52:05>> Oh.
- 52:06>> All right. So, I'm comfortable with
- 52:07that. Closing it tonight and then
- 52:09shooting for Monday the 28th
- 52:13>> 5 p.m.
- 52:13>> at 5.
- 52:14>> I can't do five. I can do anytime during
- 52:17the day. So, if you need
- 52:18>> Okay. So, it looks like we could
- 52:20>> we can make it. And what about you and
- 52:22you for time during the day?
- 52:24>> Five is probably ideal because if
- 52:25something does come up during the day
- 52:27then I it would have to take president
- 52:28but um yeah but five is good
- 52:32>> and you could do five. All right. So we
- 52:33>> I could do here tonight we would have
- 52:35four at five.
- 52:37>> Whatever it takes to get it done.
- 52:39>> Okay. No worries. But thank you for
- 52:41that.
- 52:42>> And I may be able to come.
- 52:44>> Yep. Yep. Okay. So, we have a page turn
- 52:46scheduled for next Thursday at 9:00 and
- 52:50then a resolution to be ready and uh
- 52:53considered for approval on 9:28 at 5:00
- 52:56p.m.
- 53:01>> Any other comments on that?
- 53:03>> Close the hearing tonight.
- 53:04>> So, we would be closing the public
- 53:05hearing tonight.
- 53:07>> Yeah, I think that I mean that works.
- 53:09>> Okay. Did I ask does anybody from the
- 53:12public want to have one last chance to
- 53:15comment on this application?
- 53:18If not, may I get a motion to close the
- 53:21public hearing?
- 53:21>> So move. Second.
- 53:23>> All in favor, please say I.
- 53:24>> I.
- 53:25>> Thank you everybody. So
- 53:27>> great. Thank you very much.
- 53:29>> We're looking at uh the 28th.
- 53:31>> Yep. Sounds like a great plan.
- 53:33Appreciate uh you making that happen.
- 53:37>> Thank you.
- 53:38>> Have a great time.
- 53:38>> Enjoy your day tomorrow. Yes. Enjoy the
- 53:40fishing.
- 53:41>> Yeah. Well,
- 53:44>> I am uh
- 53:45>> just remember you might need a bigger
- 53:46boat.
- 53:47>> I'm going home, changing, and then
- 53:50driving through
- 53:52through London.
- 53:53>> Yep.
- 53:58[laughter]
- 54:00>> Thank you.
- 54:01>> Thank you. All right. There are no more
- 54:03public hearings scheduled. Our next item
- 54:06on the agenda is a workshop with
- 54:08Vanderbilt Lane Morton additional
- 54:11dwelling.
- 54:24Excuse me.
- 54:34>> He's got it.
- 54:35>> Yeah.
- 54:39>> Yeah. I think Yeah.
- 54:44>> Yeah.
- 54:46Take a picture of that and send it over.
- 55:03and the blue mouse should work
- 55:05>> great
- 55:05>> from there on that. Good evening.
- 55:08>> Hi, thank you so much for having us for
- 55:10this workshop. Uh my name is Jane Elasa.
- 55:12I'm the project manager at River
- 55:14Architects.
- 55:16>> Hi. Uh good to see you again, James
- 55:17Hartford, River Architects. Um you've
- 55:20seen this project before. Um there's
- 55:23been some uh uh pretty uh major changes
- 55:26uh due to some personal um issues um
- 55:29that the clients have uh endured. Um but
- 55:33um we've uh rethought the project um
- 55:35kind of scaling it down. Um uh if you
- 55:39recall earlier we had a a um a larger
- 55:42swimming pool very close to the uh
- 55:44wetlands buffer zone um and uh a larger
- 55:49kind of pool house facility as well as
- 55:51quite a large um personal uh wood shop
- 55:54and ceramist uh studio um as well as a
- 55:58guest house. And now we've kind of
- 56:00scaled all of those things back. Um a
- 56:02much smaller pool keeping it away from
- 56:05the uh steep slopes area as well as the
- 56:07wetlands uh setback. And then um a
- 56:10smaller guest house um kind of a a small
- 56:13kind of uh uh special uh kitchen for uh
- 56:18personal events there. Um as well as um
- 56:21a pool house uh with a you know again
- 56:23the scaleback uh pool. That's sort of
- 56:26the nut
- 56:26>> and they'll make it a little bit easier
- 56:28to
- 56:29>> to work with. Right.
- 56:30>> Great. Yeah. And also with us is Rahul,
- 56:33our uh civil engineer.
- 56:35>> Rahul Verma as [clears throat] the site
- 56:37civil engineer.
- 56:38>> Thank you.
- 56:38>> Working with the river architect team.
- 56:39>> Welcome.
- 56:40>> Welcome.
- 56:41>> Yeah. So um much smaller impervious area
- 56:45and um we've also removed the driveway
- 56:48that was in the original application.
- 56:51So, because of the smaller scale and
- 56:54just that the owners felt like they
- 56:56didn't need a secondary driveway, we're
- 56:58using the current driveway to 9
- 57:01Vanderbilt Lane, the existing house
- 57:02there. And we just have a banked parking
- 57:05area for uh meeting the code requirement
- 57:08for that. We've also spoken with the
- 57:10fire department and they have uh we we
- 57:14staked all of the buildings kind of
- 57:16where they would be on site as they are
- 57:17on the site plan and reviewed how that
- 57:20access would work. And so the um what he
- 57:23had asked and we had shown on this site
- 57:25plan.
- 57:27Maybe I shouldn't have made it full
- 57:28screen.
- 57:34I just scroll. Um, what he'd asked for
- 57:38instead is
- 57:47get there in a second.
- 57:54Is this uh fire access that's going to
- 57:57be brick paved, which is in keeping with
- 58:00some of the brick paving, like permeable
- 58:02paving that they have around the site.
- 58:04And so this shoots off of the existing
- 58:08driveway. And he was happy with the
- 58:10access, making sure that a fire hose
- 58:13could get to any point in the building.
- 58:15Um, and he just asked that the buildings
- 58:18had some sort of label on them like ABC
- 58:21D so that if there's a fire, he knows
- 58:23he's going to Vanderbilt Lane, but he
- 58:25knows also which building. So the fire
- 58:27alarms will correspond to good fire
- 58:29department. So, we spoke about that and
- 58:31um are making sure to incorporate uh
- 58:34that ask. And so, this is that bent
- 58:36parking area. We don't want to add more
- 58:38hardscape. So, this is just um enough
- 58:41space for the cars to park there in case
- 58:44they do have more, but it's more of like
- 58:46a I I just I doubt that they'll really
- 58:48use it, but we have it just in case.
- 58:51>> We're also removing less trees than we
- 58:53were last time. I think previously we
- 58:54were thinking of removing 11 trees. Now,
- 58:57there's only two. Um, actually the
- 58:59buildings don't remove that. It's just
- 59:01for the fire access that we're removing
- 59:03those two by the uh kind of like
- 59:06driveway uh tea. Um,
- 59:11what else? Yeah, the pool the pool is
- 59:13much smaller. It's a saltwater pool
- 59:15here. There's a brick paving around and
- 59:17there will be a pool fence around that
- 59:18as well. We'll make sure to have alarms
- 59:21as code requires for the two doors that
- 59:24leave the pool house and go towards the
- 59:26pool area. There's no other access into
- 59:27the pool house except for except for
- 59:30those. Um,
- 59:32yeah, I think Oh, and we filed the plat
- 59:35the minor subdivision that we went
- 59:37through last time, that was all filed
- 59:38with the county, and that's actually the
- 59:40first page of our PDF application. So,
- 59:43all of that, including the deed, was
- 59:45filed and straightened out um as part of
- 59:47our last kind of round of reviewing with
- 59:49you all.
- 59:50>> Excellent. That makes makes this phase a
- 59:52little bit easier.
- 59:54>> Um, yeah. So, we're looking forward to
- 59:55your comments and any questions you
- 59:57have. Um, thank you so much for
- 59:59considering the application.
- 1:00:00>> Thank you. Uh, well, thank you for all
- 1:00:02the work that you've done on this,
- 1:00:03especially contacting the fire
- 1:00:04department. That's always very helpful.
- 1:00:06I, as you may remember the last time, we
- 1:00:08spent a lot of time with them. Um, so
- 1:00:11Miss Moss,
- 1:00:15>> um, I I'm happy to see that the pool has
- 1:00:18been moved a little bit away from that
- 1:00:20slope and the impervious,
- 1:00:22uh, is being dealt with. Um, you're
- 1:00:25including some pvious areas. Um, and I'm
- 1:00:29happy that you contacted the fire
- 1:00:31department in advance and I have no
- 1:00:34other comments.
- 1:00:35>> Okay, great.
- 1:00:36>> Thank you,
- 1:00:37>> Miss Ransom.
- 1:00:39Are there any material changes to the
- 1:00:41buildings or they're the same as what
- 1:00:43was previously reviewed?
- 1:00:44>> Uh, that's a great question. So,
- 1:00:45previously we were going to do a black
- 1:00:48painted wood vertical siding, but we've
- 1:00:50actually switched to a black cedar
- 1:00:52shingle, like a pine tar cedar shingle,
- 1:00:55cuz it's actually really similar to
- 1:00:56another building on a neighboring site
- 1:00:59that has a a cedar shake. So, we want to
- 1:01:01kind of be a little bit more in keeping
- 1:01:03with that tone, a little bit more
- 1:01:06traditional style. Um, and the roof will
- 1:01:08also be a cedar shingle. Before we had a
- 1:01:10standing seam or no, a corrugated black
- 1:01:12metal roof and now it's going to be
- 1:01:14cedar shingle as well.
- 1:01:15>> So, I would only ask whether the
- 1:01:17planning board needs to see some kind of
- 1:01:20>> detail, you know, material detail.
- 1:01:22>> We generally do you usually ask for some
- 1:01:25kind of material board. So if you're
- 1:01:27making changes, probably use be useful
- 1:01:28to show the board what what those are
- 1:01:32>> and and sometimes that can be as much as
- 1:01:34just like a link to the
- 1:01:36>> uh manufacturer site with the you know
- 1:01:38identification of which
- 1:01:40>> shape.
- 1:01:41>> Yeah. And then the trees themselves were
- 1:01:45those previously proposed to be removed
- 1:01:47or these are different trees?
- 1:01:49>> These are two different trees.
- 1:01:50>> And then what kind of trees are they
- 1:01:53diameter? Um, let me
- 1:01:56>> Was that shown?
- 1:02:00>> Um, I might not be able to see it
- 1:02:03completely. I'll I'll I'll follow up on
- 1:02:05that. It's It's a little like too light
- 1:02:08in this do have them measured.
- 1:02:10>> I appreciate that there's fewer trees
- 1:02:12being removed, but we don't necessarily
- 1:02:13then want to have two large specimen
- 1:02:16trees removed. I don't know what they
- 1:02:18are, so I'm just asking. They they are
- 1:02:19conifers and they're adjacent to the
- 1:02:22power lines there and then they get
- 1:02:24periodically lpped off on side every
- 1:02:27time the power company comes through. So
- 1:02:29they're actually harm trees. They're not
- 1:02:31healthy trees.
- 1:02:32>> Yeah.
- 1:02:32>> Even even if you could take a picture
- 1:02:34and just send it to the board, that'd be
- 1:02:35useful.
- 1:02:36>> Absolutely. We'll do that.
- 1:02:37>> Thank you.
- 1:02:38>> Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Harvey.
- 1:02:42>> So I asked um Pete Sero to look at this
- 1:02:43briefly since he was familiar with it
- 1:02:45before and he gave me some thoughts. Um
- 1:02:47he had a recollection of uh one of the
- 1:02:49buildings having a basement. Do any of
- 1:02:50the buildings have a basement anymore?
- 1:02:52>> Yes, there's one small basement in the
- 1:02:54uh in the kitchen uh and dining uh
- 1:02:57building. Um it's, you know, residential
- 1:03:00in scale.
- 1:03:01>> Any walkouts from that?
- 1:03:02>> No.
- 1:03:03>> Okay. Just cuz if there was, we'd want
- 1:03:04to see the spot grades and make sure
- 1:03:06that was clear how that was working out.
- 1:03:08>> Um and then in terms of the uh the
- 1:03:10septic, it appears there's a new
- 1:03:12nine-bedroom septic proposed.
- 1:03:14>> Um that's true. It's not clear to me
- 1:03:17entirely how many bedrooms are in each
- 1:03:19building that serve into that.
- 1:03:21>> I can that James um so I can speak to
- 1:03:24that. The the ninebedroom calculation
- 1:03:26was with the previous engineer
- 1:03:29>> that they were using. I have not been
- 1:03:30able to replicate that calculation
- 1:03:32myself just yet.
- 1:03:33>> Okay. Um I I will tell the board I am
- 1:03:36going out tomorrow to start doing some
- 1:03:37perk tests in this in the area shown
- 1:03:39here and another area and as well go
- 1:03:41through the um the health department's
- 1:03:43um loading chart to determine which with
- 1:03:45these revised uses what the correct
- 1:03:47application rate is
- 1:03:49>> to to design.
- 1:03:50>> Are there nine bedrooms total on the
- 1:03:52site or that's changed too?
- 1:03:53>> Four in the main residence, right? uh
- 1:03:55four in the main residence. And then
- 1:03:57we're adding we're considering each
- 1:03:59project or each property having one
- 1:04:02dwelling unit even though there's no
- 1:04:04bedrooms.
- 1:04:05>> Just in case in the future if the next
- 1:04:07person coming in wants to use a space as
- 1:04:10a bedroom. We just don't we want to make
- 1:04:12sure we have that approved at this
- 1:04:15point. So there's actually only one
- 1:04:17bedroom in the small studio ADU
- 1:04:19building.
- 1:04:20>> Mhm. Um, so our recommendation would be
- 1:04:22that you develop some kind of table or
- 1:04:24notes to include on the plan to make it
- 1:04:25clear how many bedrooms or how many
- 1:04:27bedrooms you're using for your
- 1:04:28calculations in each building so it's
- 1:04:31clear how that works out for you.
- 1:04:32>> Yeah. As I get into a conversation with
- 1:04:33the health department engineer that will
- 1:04:34be uh on those plans.
- 1:04:36>> Okay. And then regarding the erosion
- 1:04:38controls, I know you did an erosion
- 1:04:40control plan. You identified the
- 1:04:41disturbances mainly around the buildings
- 1:04:43and the structures. What we would need
- 1:04:45is those disturbance limits to be
- 1:04:47including any trenching, any tanks and
- 1:04:49be being done. And I know if you're
- 1:04:51reworking the septic, you'll need to
- 1:04:52look at that again. But we just need to
- 1:04:54make sure the limit disturbance that are
- 1:04:55shown in the plans cover all the
- 1:04:56disturbance.
- 1:04:57>> Yeah, that will be updated again as we
- 1:04:59finalize the septic plan.
- 1:05:01>> Um, obviously the sites served by
- 1:05:03Duchess Water and Waste Authority. Do we
- 1:05:05know where that's metered from them?
- 1:05:07>> Yes, there's a meter pit uh just to the
- 1:05:10right of the driveway, maybe 30 ft to
- 1:05:12the right.
- 1:05:13>> Okay. Could that be depicted on the
- 1:05:14plans? So, we have
- 1:05:15>> it is lab it's labeled on the plans and
- 1:05:17as it turns out it's a dual meter pit
- 1:05:19for both this property and for three
- 1:05:22Vanderbilt Road which is just to the
- 1:05:24left.
- 1:05:24>> Okay. So, in theory the the new uses and
- 1:05:26the new buildings and everything will be
- 1:05:28picked up based on that meter.
- 1:05:29>> Correct. Okay. Um and then the other
- 1:05:32thing that Pete mentioned is that
- 1:05:34previously and maybe it was due to the
- 1:05:35other driveway is that the trees along
- 1:05:37the Hunter property there was some notes
- 1:05:39or line work included in the plans to
- 1:05:40make sure they were retained. So, I
- 1:05:42don't know if the planning board or
- 1:05:43anybody wants to consider that. Now,
- 1:05:45>> I think they got rid of
- 1:05:46>> Say that again.
- 1:05:47>> The driveway got rid of it, but I don't
- 1:05:48know if if if they want to have notes to
- 1:05:51make sure the trees don't get cut. I
- 1:05:53mean, I guess by seeing limited
- 1:05:54disturbance, if it's outside of limited
- 1:05:55disturbance, it's covered.
- 1:05:56>> Yeah, that that should be good.
- 1:05:57>> Okay.
- 1:05:58>> Y and then um obviously Duchess Health
- 1:06:00Department approval will be required for
- 1:06:02the septic. So, I think that's all I
- 1:06:04have.
- 1:06:05>> That's great. I'm glad you were able to
- 1:06:06uh get get with Pete on that. He spent a
- 1:06:09lot of time on on the previous plan.
- 1:06:12Excellent. Miss Polodoro.
- 1:06:15>> Hi. Um, so we have a resolution to
- 1:06:18classify it and referred out tonight. It
- 1:06:21does need to go to Duchess County
- 1:06:23Department of Planning because it's near
- 1:06:25uh Route 9 and also uh be referred to
- 1:06:28historic preservation office, the fire
- 1:06:30department, should say fire district,
- 1:06:32and the Duchess County Department of
- 1:06:33Health uh just so we can start getting
- 1:06:35all those referrals going.
- 1:06:37>> Okay.
- 1:06:38>> Last time there was consultation with
- 1:06:39Shipo,
- 1:06:40>> right? on the the house and the
- 1:06:42materials.
- 1:06:43>> Does water and waste get included in
- 1:06:45that?
- 1:06:48>> Are they in the water district?
- 1:06:50>> They are. They're served by the their
- 1:06:51water system.
- 1:06:51>> Yeah, they have. So, let's add them.
- 1:06:53>> I think it'd be a good idea.
- 1:06:55>> Good catch.
- 1:07:04>> Oh, DCW.
- 1:07:07Okay. and DC.
- 1:07:15They're both
- 1:07:21Oh, sorry.
- 1:07:24>> John, you're going to have to add that,
- 1:07:25too. Okay, got it.
- 1:07:26>> It is
- 1:07:33fine.
- 1:07:34>> Any other comments?
- 1:07:38Uh,
- 1:07:38>> no, just when the new information comes
- 1:07:40in, we'll all evaluate it.
- 1:07:41>> Yep. Yep. Thank you.
- 1:07:42>> What exactly do you want John to add to
- 1:07:44the resolution, please?
- 1:07:45>> All he needs to add is at the end and
- 1:07:47Duchess County Water and Wastewater
- 1:07:48Authority.
- 1:07:50>> We
- 1:07:51>> You just put DCWWEA. Okay.
- 1:07:53>> Despite being Yes. Hide Park Fire
- 1:07:55Department is correct. So, we'll leave
- 1:07:56that even though it's also
- 1:07:58>> Yep.
- 1:08:00>> That's okay.
- 1:08:03>> This This will be the official Yeah,
- 1:08:05>> we can check that box.
