JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THANK YOU, MICHELLE.

MICHELE THOMAS: THANK YOU.

THANKS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: POST IDA UPDATE SO LAST WEEK WE MET IN A THREE HOUR WORK SESSION THAT WAS INTENDED TO REVIEW THE RAMBLE ENGINEERS PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE BLIND BROOK WATERSHED.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THIS, OF COURSE, IS A CITY SPONSORED EFFORT THAT'S RUNNING IN PARALLEL TO THE D SEES THAT IS NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: BLIND BROOK WATERSHED STUDY AND, IN PARALLEL TO THE STUDY THAT THE ARMY CORPS HAS INDICATED THAT IT'S ABOUT TO BEGIN, OF THE BLIND BROOK WATERSHED.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: SO THE RAMBO REPORT IS PROMINENTLY AVAILABLE ON THE CITY WEBSITE, I THINK WE ALL LEARNED A LOT FROM READING THE REPORT AND INTERACTING WITH THE RAMBLE TEAM.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: ONE NUGGET THAT STICKS IN MY MIND IS THEIR CHARACTERIZATION OF BLIND BROOK AS FLASHY I KNOW THAT MYSTIFIED ME AT THE MOMENT AND I ALSO KNOW THAT SOME THOUGHT THEY HEARD SLUSHY.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: BUT GUIDED BY GOOGLE, I CAN SHARE THAT SO CALLED FLASHY STREAMS ARE CHARACTERIZED BY RAPID RATES OF FLOW INCREASE AND DECREASE DURING RUN OFF EVENTS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: HIGH P DISCHARGES LOW BASE FLOWS AND OFTEN HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF NON POINT POLLUTANTS INCREASE IN SURROUNDING IMPERVIOUS SURFACE CONTRIBUTES TO A A STREAMS FLASHINESS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: ALL OF THAT SEEMS LIKE A GOOD SUMMARY OF OUR BLIND BROOK TODAY AND HELPS ME, CERTAINLY IN MY UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT WE'RE UP AGAINST.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THIS IS ALSO WORTH MENTIONING BECAUSE I'M STILL HEARING FROM RESIDENTS THAT THEY THINK ARE BOWMAN DAM BROKE OR MALFUNCTION DURING EITHER.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: OR MAYBE THE IRANIANS, OR EVEN THE RUSSIANS HACKED INTO THE DAMN COMPUTER THE SIMPLE TRUTH AIR FLASHY BROKE AND IDA PRODUCED A FLASH FLOOD THAT WENT OVER THE TOP OF OUR DAMN I HAD A PRODUCED RECORD RANG IN RECORD TIME, A VERY BAD COMBINATION FOR FLESH STREAM.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: A COUNCIL OBJECTIVE IN OUR SESSION WITH RAMBLE WAS TO HELP RAMBLE FOCUS ON A RELATIVELY FEW OF THE MANY PROJECTS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THAT RAMBLE REVIEWED THAT RAMBO COULD ANALYZE FARTHER AND POTENTIALLY PREPARE THE COST BENEFIT ANALYSES THAT WE EXPECT WILL BE REQUIRED TO WIN PROJECT FUNDING.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: OUR PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT OF POTENTIAL EFFECTIVENESS AND OF COST AND OTHER OBSTACLES, LET US TO CIRCLE FOR FURTHER STUDY.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: UPSTREAM IMPOUNDMENT FOR FLOODWATER TO BE CREATED BY BERMS ON LAND ON BY SUNY PURCHASE AND THE FORMER DORAL ERA WOULD.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: BUY EXPANSION OF UPPER BOWMAN POND AND PERHAPS RACING THE HEIGHT OF BOWMAN DAM AND RENOVATION OF LOWER BOWMAN POND.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THE BENEFIT OF ANY OF THESE PROJECTS IN TERMS OF REDUCTION OF WATER SURFACE ELEVATION IN A FLOOD EVENT IS MEASURED IN INCHES AND THOSE BENEFIT INCHES VARY BY LOCATION.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: ALONG BLIND BROOK NONE OF THE POTENTIAL PROJECTS IS A SILVER BULLET THAT STOPS THE FLOOD FROM AN ITEM AND EVEN IN COMBINATION THESE PROJECTS MAY BE OVERWHELMED, IN FACT, WE AGREED THAT WE HAD TO FRAME OUR CONSIDERATION BY LESSER AND MORE COMMON FLOOD EVENTS, RATHER THAN BY THE MOST DISASTROUS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: A PROMINENT PROJECT THAT WE DID NOT CIRCLE FOR FURTHER RAMBLE ATTENTION DOES BEAR MENTIONED THE TWIN CULVERTS UNDER I 95 AND METRO NORTH ARE RECOGNIZED TO BE PROBLEMATICAL.

[00:10:02]

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: HOWEVER, IF REMOVED OR ENLARGED THOSE CULVERTS MAY CONTRIBUTE TO FLOODING IN THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT AT THE LOCUST INTERSECTION ORCHARD CENTRAL BARBARA COURT AND SO ON, RIGHT DOWN THE BLIND BROOK CARTER.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THE CULVERTS AND ATTENDANT WORK REALLY NEED A LARGE SCALE HOLISTIC PLAN THAT IS OF A SCALE THAT WE HOPE THE ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS WILL TAKE UP IN ITS STUDY WILL ALSO HAVE DCS COMMENTS, NO DOUBT ON THE CULVERT AND ITS EFFECT ON THE BLIND BROOK CHANNEL.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: SPEAKING OF THE ARMY CORPS SOME RESIDENTS ASKED ME WHY, IF MAMARONECK HAS BEEN ABLE TO GET 10S OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR ARMY CORPS PROJECTS, WHY NOT BRY.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THE ANSWER IS MAMARONECK HAS PURSUED ARMY CORPS ATTENTION, SINCE 2007 THROUGH A PROLONGED PERIOD OF STUDY PLANNING AND CONSISTENT POLITICAL ACTION.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: ITEM PUSHED MAMARONECK PROJECT OVER ITS LAT LAST HURDLES RIGHT, HOWEVER, DID NOT PURSUE A LONG TERM ARMY CORPS EFFORT AND IN 2019 I AND OTHERS RENEWED RISE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ARMY CORPS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WITH A $350,000 STARTED FUN ARRANGED BY SENATOR SCHUMER WE'RE PURSUING WHAT WILL NEED TO BE A LONG TERM EFFORT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: SOME NEXT STEPS WILL BE REVIEWING THE RAMBLE STUDY WITH RYE BROOK THIS WEEK AND SEEKING RIGHT BROOKS COOPERATION AND THEN LATER REVIEWING IT WITH SUNY PURCHASE STAFF.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: GREG HAS HAD A MEETING WITH RAMBLE SINCE THE COUNCIL WORK SESSION AND I INVITE HIM NOW TO COMMENT FURTHER ALSO GREG IF THERE'S ANYTHING NOW TO BE SAID ON OUR CONSULTANTS REPORT ON WEB AVE THE WEB, EVERY NEW DEVELOPMENT, PLEASE GO AHEAD.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: THANK YOU.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: SO.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: CITY STAFF NAME OF THE CITY ENGINEER SPEAK PLANNER AND MYSELF HAD A FOLLOW UP MEETING WITH RAMBLE ON MONDAY.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: IT WAS TO DEBRIEF BASED ON COUNCIL INPUT FROM LAST WEEK'S WORK SESSION THERE ARE LIST OF FOLLOW UP ITEMS FOR RAMBLE THAT THEY ARE HAVE ALREADY BEGUN, NOT ONLY INCLUDE THE COMPREHENSIVE CALCULATIONS OF.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: THE WATER SURFACE REDUCTION BASED UPON YOU KNOW THAT THE SELECTED PROJECTS, IT ALSO INVOLVES A FURTHER ANALYSIS OF THE LOWER BOWMAN WORK SINCE THAT WAS NOT COMPLETED.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: IN COMPLETELY IT WAS INCOMPLETE FOR LAST WEEK'S SESSION SO BEFORE YOU KNOW THAT COMES BACK TO YOU FOR FURTHER CONSIDERATION WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE ALL THE SIMILAR INFORMATION IS WAS MADE AVAILABLE FOR THE OTHER PROJECTS.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: I MEAN I'M ASSUMING THAT ARE, WE BELIEVE THAT, WITHIN THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS WE'LL BE BACK TO YOU WITH THOSE FURTHER REFINEMENTS AND THE FOLLOW UP CALCULATIONS THAT YOU REQUESTED.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: AND THAT, AT THAT POINT WE'LL BE IN A POSITION TO REALLY BETTER ADVANCE ANY ANY OF THOSE SELECTED PROJECTS.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: WE ARE EXPECTING AND I ACTUALLY HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED AT LEAST ONE OR TWO RESPONSES TO OUR RFU 40 FUNDING CONSULTANT FOR FEDERAL STATE AND FAME OF BASED FUNDING.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: I'M EXPECTING THAT FOR THE JUNE 15 COUNCIL MEETING THAT WILL BE IN A POSITION TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO ENGAGE ONE OF THOSE FIRMS WHICH SHOULD BE.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: A TIMELY GIVEN THE WORK THAT RAMBLES OF THE RAMBLE IS DOING, WE ARE ALSO LOOKING AT HAVE BEEN REVIEWING WITH OUR GRANT CONSULTANTS THE.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: THE STATE CONSOLIDATED FUNDING APPLICATION THAT'S DO THE END OF JULY THAT DOES INCLUDE SOME POTENTIAL GRANTS STATE GRANTS FOR.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: FOR VARIOUS PROJECTS AND THEN WE'RE ALSO EAGERLY WAITING, THE RESULTS OF THE FALL BOND REFERENDUM FOR THE STATE THAT DOES INCLUDE A SPECIFIC CARVE OUT FOR.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: FOR STORMWATER SYSTEMS FOR LOCALITIES SO THAT'S ALL THOSE ARE ALL IN THE WORKS, WE DID SUBMIT COMMENTS ON THE WEB AVENUE DEVELOPMENT THAT I'LL BE MAKING AVAILABLE TO THE COUNCIL.

[5. Update on City Stormwater Review]

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: 18 MONTHS AGO, PROVIDED THE SAME ON THE D IS, WHICH WAS THE PRELIMINARY REPORT, THERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT COMMENTS THAT WE PROVIDED I ALSO PROVIDED THOSE SAME COMMENTS TO RIDE BROOKE AND THEY PROVIDED THE SAME TO THE CITY, SO ALL OF THAT IS ON RECORD, WITH THE THE PLANNING BOARD IN HARRISON.

[00:15:22]

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC ON.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THE RAMBLE REPORT THAT WE MIGHT ANSWER AT THIS TIME.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: OKAY GREG THANKS AGAIN FOR THAT, IF YOU WOULD TAKE US TO OUR NEXT TOPIC THE UPDATE ON THE CITY STORMWATER REVIEW.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: THANK YOU AND RYAN HAS JOINED US FOR THE FOR THE MEAT OF THE DISCUSSION I'LL DO A VERY SHORT INTRODUCTION TO GOING BACK INTO IN FEBRUARY, AS A FOLLOW UP TO IDA.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: THE RYAN COIN AND HIS ASSISTANCE PUT TOGETHER A SERIES OF SUMMARIES ON SOME NON BLIND BROOK AREAS OF THE CITY THAT DID FLOOD.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: SOME DURING HENRI MANY DURING OR THE RESTAURANT IDA OR THE SUBSTANTIAL MOUNTAIN OR AND IDA.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: MOST OF THESE RELATED TO STORM WATER SYSTEMS THAT FRANKLY JUST WERE NOT DESIGNED FOR THE MAGNITUDE OF RAINFALL THAT RECEIVED IN SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME WITH THAT SAID, WE ARE ENDEAVORING TO ADDRESS, AS MANY OF THOSE AS WE CAN, BOTH WITH.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: PUBLIC WORKS ASSETS, MEANING OUR OWN PUBLIC WORKS TEAMS DOING SOME OF THE WORK, BUT THEN LOOKING FOR SOME LARGER SOLUTIONS.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: THAT MAY INVOLVE SOME COUNCIL ACTION LATER IN THE YEAR OR IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FALL BOND REFERENDUM, ASSUMING THAT THAT THAT DOES ADVANCE.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: AND SO TONIGHT IS REALLY A FOLLOW UP TO THAT FEBRUARY ANALYSIS ALL THE INFORMATION THAT RYAN'S GOING TO PRESENT IS GOING TO BE PUT ON THE WEBSITE THIS WEEK AS WELL, SO EVERYONE WILL HAVE THAT.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: BUT IT'S REALLY AS A DEEPER DIVE INTO THOSE 10 OR 12 PARTS OF TOWN THAT DID RECEIVE SOME SUBSTANTIAL FLOODING IN THE FALL.

RYAN COYNE: ALRIGHT, THANKS, SO THIS IS A, THIS IS AN EVOLVING.

RYAN COYNE: ENDEAVOR THAT THAT WE'RE DOING AT PUBLIC WORKS SO AS THESE DOCUMENTS COME ABOUT WE'RE.

RYAN COYNE: CONTINUING TO LOOK AND.

RYAN COYNE: UPDATE THEM SO SO WHAT I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU NOW IS JUST THE UPDATE SINCE OUR FEBRUARY MEETING AND OUR PLAN IS TO CONTINUE TO.

RYAN COYNE: LOOK IN AND UPDATE AS NECESSARY, SO LET ME JUST SHARE MY SCREEN HERE AND.

RYAN COYNE: WE HAVE A TABLE WHICH I LOVE PUTTING TOGETHER, SO WE CAN FOCUS ON ACTUAL NUMBERS BUT THAT.

RYAN COYNE: YOU KNOW THIS IS JUST A, THIS IS AN EVOLVING SPREADSHEET THAT WE'RE WE'RE WORKING ON COST ESTIMATES ARE VERY ROUGH AND LARGE RANGES.

RYAN COYNE: BECAUSE WE HAVE THEM, BUT I CAN DIVE DEEPER INTO SOME OF THESE PROJECTS, THE CONCEPTS.

RYAN COYNE: ARE VERY SIMILAR TO THAT THAT WE SPOKE OF IN IN FEBRUARY, BUT THE BOSTON POST ROAD IS PROJECT IS A GROUP OF PROPERTIES JUST SOUTH OF THE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL FIELD ON BOTH SIDES OF BOSTON POST ROAD THAT FLOOD.

RYAN COYNE: COMING DOWN FROM OLD POST ROAD ON THE WEST OF BOSTON POST ROAD THEN PIPES CROSS UNDER AND DISCHARGE THEM SOME RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES, SO WE HAVE IDEAS OF.

RYAN COYNE: PUTTING IN A SECONDARY OVERFLOW PIPE SO IF THE DRAINAGE DOES BACKUP IN THE WAY THAT IT CAN DURING OUR STORM EVENTS THAT HAS A SECONDARY OUTFALL THAT WOULD GO DOWN AND CONNECT TO A PIPE IN FRONT OF THE FOOTBALL FIELD.

RYAN COYNE: IN OUR IN THE BOSTON POST ROAD RIGHT OF WAY.

RYAN COYNE: AND THEN STILL IN THE WORKS IS SOME CONCEPT OF HOW TO REPLACE AND OR RELOCATE PIPES AND BACKYARDS.

RYAN COYNE: ON THOSE PROPERTIES ON THE EAST OF THE BOSTON POST ROAD BOULDER ROAD, AS WE KNOW, IS DRAINS A LOW POINT IN FOREST AVENUE IN FRONT OF THE SYNAGOGUE.

RYAN COYNE: THROUGH A PIPE THAT GOES THROUGH, RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF BOULDER WE'RE CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF REALIGNING THAT PIPE IT'S AN 18 INCH PIPE FOR MOST OF THE WAY.

RYAN COYNE: WE ARE CONTRACTOR WAS THERE LAST WEEK, AND THIS WEEK, DOING THE HEAVY CLEANING WORK AND WILL BE LINING IT IN THE IN THE WEEKS TO COME, SO THE LINING WORK WILL NOT SOLVE THE FLOODING PROBLEM, BUT IN OUR INVESTIGATIONS, WE DID NOTICE OR OR FIND THAT THE PIPE WAS IN POOR CONDITION.

[00:20:16]

RYAN COYNE: FLOODING ON ON A COUPLE OF THE PROPERTIES THROUGH.

RYAN COYNE: CRACKS AND BREAKS IN THE PIPE SO THAT $80,000 PROJECT IS IS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY.

RYAN COYNE: THERE'S A ANOTHER ONCE THAT'S COMPLETE.

RYAN COYNE: WILL BE LOOKING TO POTENTIALLY INCREASE THE SIZE OF THE PIPING THAT DRAINS FOREST AVENUE INTO THAT PIPE SO THERE'S A SMALL.

RYAN COYNE: EIGHT INCH PIPE THAT DRAINS FROM THE CATCH BASIN AND FOREST INTO THAT BOULDER ROAD DRAIN SO ONCE THAT LINING WORK IS DONE WE'LL BE LOOKING WITH THE BW FORCES IT'S NOT EVEN SHOWING HERE BECAUSE IT'S IT'S KIND OF A SMALL PROJECT.

RYAN COYNE: JUST TO REPLACE ABOUT 10 FEET OF PIPE WITH A LARGER PIPE THAT WILL HELP IN CERTAIN STORM EVENTS.

RYAN COYNE: HOPEFULLY, ALLOWING FOREST AVENUE, NOT TO IMPOUND WATER AND FLOOD IN MARCH STRONG EVENTS HISTORICALLY EVEN WAY BEFORE IDA.

RYAN COYNE: THAT SECTION OF FOREST WOULD FLOOD, TO THE POINT, WE HAVE TO CLOSE IT AND BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME INTO THE WATER TURNS OUT THE LARGER PROJECT ON BOULDER ROAD WHICH WE'RE STILL GOING TO.

RYAN COYNE: EVOLVE AS FAR AS THE CONCEPT AND PLANS IS EITHER REPLACING THAT EXISTING PIPE THROUGH.

RYAN COYNE: IN ITS IN ITS CURRENT LOCATION THROUGH PRIVATE PROPERTY RARE YARDS THAT WILL REQUIRE PRIVATE PROPERTY EASEMENT ACQUISITIONS.

RYAN COYNE: IT WOULD BE SOMEWHAT LESS COSTLY THAN THE ALTERNATIVE.

RYAN COYNE: WHICH WOULD BE TO INSTALL THE NEW PIPE IN BOULDER ROAD IT'S CALLED BOULDER ROAD FOR A REASON AND THE DRAINAGE PIPE WOULD BE ABOUT A 25 FOOT ROCK CAFE WHICH IS.

RYAN COYNE: JUST CANCEL PROJECT SO WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT THIS REALIGNING WORK IN THE WORK AND FOREST WILL WILL HELP AS WE CONTINUE TO LOOK AT THAT ONE DRAKE SMITH LANE, WE WENT THROUGH LAST TIME THERE'S A.

RYAN COYNE: ZIGZAG AND THE PIPE AS IT TRAVERSES SO WE COULD FIX THAT WITH.

RYAN COYNE: INSTALLATION OF A NEW PIPE FOR ABOUT 50 FEET AND DRINKS AND THE FLAME THAT'S THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THAT DW CAN DO IN HOUSE.

RYAN COYNE: HICKS PARK IS A.

RYAN COYNE: LITTLE BIT MORE INVOLVED AND.

RYAN COYNE: WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO DO IS SEPARATE SOME DRAINAGE, RIGHT NOW, ALL OF THE DRAINAGE FROM THE BOSTON POST ROAD IS STARTING IT AS ONE SCHOOL.

RYAN COYNE: AND OPEN BEACH AVENUE TRAIN DOWN TO DESBOROUGH AS WELL AS MOST OF HITS PARK DRAINS OUT THROUGH THE SAME PIPE REDUCE BRO SO WHAT WE'D BE LOOKING TO DO A SEPARATE THOSE TWO PIPES.

RYAN COYNE: IN ADDITION TO THAT THERE'S A THERE'S A SMALL ARE NOT SMALL BUT THE INTERSECTION OF WHITE BIRCH DRIVING HICKORY DRIVE IS A LOW POINT THAT CONNECTS TO THAT DRAINAGE SYSTEM.

RYAN COYNE: THROUGH A PIPE IN SOME PRIVATE PROPERTIES SO WE'RE CONTINUING TO WORK WITH THE NEIGHBORS THERE IT'S LOOKING LIKE THAT PIPE THROUGH PRIVATE PROPERTIES MAY NEED TO BE ENLARGED.

RYAN COYNE: AND REPLACED.

RYAN COYNE: CRIMINALLY NORTH EXPERIENCED THIS SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FLOODING ONE PROPERTY IN PARTICULAR.

RYAN COYNE: FLOODED IN ADDITION TO OUR PUMP STATION AND THAT ROAD REMAINED FLOODED AND CLOSED FOR.

RYAN COYNE: IN COMPARISON, WHAT WAS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME AFTER AFTER IDA SO.

RYAN COYNE: ANOTHER PIPE VERY DEEP ROCK THROUGH PRIVATE PROPERTY IT'S A TOUGH.

RYAN COYNE: TOUGH REPLACEMENT JOB IS WHAT WE'RE NEEDING TO BE IF IT WERE DEEMED NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

RYAN COYNE: WE ARE THROUGH FEMA HAZARD MITIGATION PROCESS LOOKING TO RAISE THE THE PUMP STATION PROPONENTS OUT OF THE FLOOD AREA.

RYAN COYNE: SO THAT THAT WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT THAT WILL WORK THROUGH THIS YEAR AND NEXT WITH FEMA FUNDING AND THEN ONE OPTION ON THAT ONE THAT WE'RE WE'RE KICKING AROUND WHICH IS A NEW IDEA WOULD BE TO POTENTIALLY RAISE PROBABLY NORTH LOW POINT FILL IN THE ROAD.

RYAN COYNE: TO PREVENT OR TO ALLOW US TO MAINTAIN A REGULAR ACCESS THROUGH CARIBBEAN LANE NORTH SO CURRENTLY NORTH IF YOU KNOW IT ALL GOES DOWN VERY STEEP TO A LOW POINT AND THEN BACK UP THERE'S ONE HOME.

[00:25:06]

RYAN COYNE: POTENTIALLY WOULD ALLEVIATE.

RYAN COYNE: THAT.

RYAN COYNE: THAT CUT OFF AND ALLOW NOT ONLY ANY PARTICULAR ACCESS BUT EMERGENCY VEHICLES TO MAINTAIN ACCESS TO THE TOP OF.

RYAN COYNE: THE SALAD.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: RIGHT AND IF I JUST, IF I MAY, AND I MAY BE GETTING AHEAD OF YOUR THINKING ON THIS, BUT IF YOU RAISE THE ROAD AND THE WATER CAN'T PULL ON THE ROAD, AS IT DID SO DRAMATICALLY, WHERE DOES ALL THAT WATER AND.

RYAN COYNE: RIGHT, SO WHAT WE WOULD DO.

RYAN COYNE: WE WOULD, IF WE WERE IT'S STILL A CONCEPT IN DEVELOPMENT, BUT THE IDEA WOULD BE TO INSTALL DRAINAGE PIPES, ON TOP OF LET'S CALL IT, ON TOP OF THE EXISTING ROAD.

RYAN COYNE: THAT WOULD ALLOW WATER TO MOVE FREELY BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE NORTH SIDE AND THE SOUTH SIDE OF CARIBBEAN NORTH.

RYAN COYNE: SO, THEN WE CAN FILL ON TOP OF THAT MAINTAIN THE SAME FLOOD VOLUME MAINTAIN THE SAME WATER COURSE NOT CHANGE ANY OF THE HYDROLOGY BUT JUST RAISE THE ROAD, SO YOU CAN MAINTAIN ACCESS STILL A DESIGN CONCEPT, BUT ONE THAT WAS AN INTERESTING IDEA THAT CAME UP.

RYAN COYNE: THAT, I THINK, BY THE NEXT TIME WE SPEAK WILL HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE MEAT ON THE BONE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THANK YOU.

RYAN COYNE: SALLY REVENUE DRAIN LET'S AL AVENUE IS A SMALL DEAD END STREET OFF A GLEN OAKS THAT DRAINS AWAY FROM LINUX TO A LOW POINT THAT'S A COMMON THEME, AND MOST OF THESE PROJECTS HERE, THERE IS A DRAIN THAT THAT DRAINS BACK OUT TO GLEN OAKS IT'S.

RYAN COYNE: COULD BE LARGER.

RYAN COYNE: SO WE, THE PROJECT THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS INSTALLING A LARGER PIPE THAT IS NOT THE BE ALL END ALL FIX FOR FLOODING OR SELL IN A STORM LIKE IDA IT'S STILL WILL FLOOD.

RYAN COYNE: BUT IT WOULD HELP AND SOME SMALLER STORM EVENTS THAT IS A PROJECT THAT TIMING WISE COULD POTENTIALLY BE DONE BY DP W AND EVEN IF NOT.

RYAN COYNE: COMPARATIVELY IS NOT A SIGNIFICANTLY SIZED OR COSTED PROJECT MARLENE COURT WE OWN FOR SOME REASON THE DISCHARGE OF NEED POND.

RYAN COYNE: IN THE REAR YARD ISN'T PROPERTIES ON ME OR MEAN PON AND MARLENE PORT.

RYAN COYNE: THERE'S A.

RYAN COYNE: PIPE THE SIX INTO THE POND THAT THAT TAKES WATER IT GETS CLOGGED ROUTINELY WE COULD INSTALL A BETTER OUTLOOK CONTROL STRUCTURE WHICH WILL HELP.

RYAN COYNE: WHICH IS SHOWN HERE, BUT REALLY WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS GET TOGETHER WITH THOSE NEIGHBORS AND FIGURE OUT A WAY TO BETTER MAINTAIN THAT POND IT'S.

RYAN COYNE: YOU KNOW ANY ANY TREES BRANCHES TWIGS THAT FALL INTO THAT POND AND AND WATCHING THROUGH THIS PIPE AND IT CAN CLOG RELATIVELY EASILY SO WE DON'T OWN THE POND WE DO ON THE PIPE.

RYAN COYNE: NOT NOT SURE WHY BUT THAT'S THE CASE.

RYAN COYNE: MIDDLE AND AVENUE OBVIOUSLY EXPERIENCED A LARGE AMOUNT LARGE MEETING THE LOCATION WISE A LARGE AMOUNT OF FLOODING PRETTY MUCH FROM THE TOP TO.

RYAN COYNE: THE BOTTOM FOR A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT REASONS WESTCHESTER COUNTY OWNS MIDDLE AND AVENUE, AND WE UNDERSTAND THERE'LL BE ADDRESSING SOME OF THE PROBLEMS NEAR PECK AND FURTHER TO THE NORTH, ON THE PORCHESTER SIDE WITH SOME DRAINAGE REPLACEMENT.

RYAN COYNE: THE REST OF MULAN AVENUE DREAMS THROUGH THE RESUME SCHOOL SWAMP AND OUT TO THE BLIND BROOK THROUGH MILTON CEMETERY AND WE DO CONTROL THE PIPE UNDER MILTON ROAD AND THROUGH THE OPEN CHANNEL THROUGH THE CEMETERY SO WE'RE IN THE WORKS OF DESIGN AND PERMITTING.

RYAN COYNE: FOR SOME STREAM BANK RESTORATION THROUGH THE CEMETERY PROPERTY THERE AND THAT OPEN CHANNEL.

RYAN COYNE: FRED MIGHTY REMOVAL AND ABATEMENT AND POTENTIALLY INSTALLATION OF A TIDE VALVES PREVENT TITLE WATERS FROM FROM BACKING UP THROUGH THAT PIPE.

RYAN COYNE: AND SANFORD ST ST ST HAS A SMALL AGAIN A LOW POINT IT DRAINS EVENTUALLY THE THE INTERSECTION OF SANFORD AND ROSEVILLE DREAM THROUGH PLAYLAND PARKING LOT.

RYAN COYNE: AND OUT TO PLAY LAND LAKE PLAYLAND LAKE IS TIGHTLY AFFECTED AND RECEIVES A LOT OF LOT OF WATER FROM PLAYLAND AND THE PARKING LOT WHILE THAT PIPE.

RYAN COYNE: IS FULL WATER WILL FIND ITS WAY.

RYAN COYNE: BACK SO SANFORD AND ROOSEVELT FLOODED IN IT, I CAN'T REMEMBER, TOO MANY STORMS THAT HAD THAT HAS HAPPENED, BUT IN OUR INVESTIGATION AND VIDEO CAMERA WORK AT THE PIPE.

[00:30:07]

RYAN COYNE: GRAVITY ALLOWS BUT THAT THAT AREA IS GOING TO BE CONTROLLED BY THE CAPACITY OF THE PIPE IN PLAYLAND PARKING LOT SO A LOT OF WORDS.

RYAN COYNE: I WENT KIND OF FAST, THIS IS AN UPDATE NOT NOT NECESSARILY A.

RYAN COYNE: REQUEST FOR ACTION, BUT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY ANY QUESTIONS AND PLAN TO BE BACK IN THE FALL WITH SOME MORE CONCRETE NUMBERS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: YEAH PLEASE BEEN.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: TO THE POINT OF CLARIFICATION RYAN, YOU SAY NUMBER OF POTENTIAL PROPERTIES AFFECTED AND THE NUMBER OF POTENTIAL PROPERTIES FLOODED.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT THEN WHEN YOU TALKED ABOUT KIRBY LANE, HE SAID 14 PROPERTIES ARE AFFECTED, THAT WAS THAT JUST MEANT THAT THEY WELL ANYWAY, I WAS TRYING TO DRAW THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: TO ME, I WAS READING IT AS THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE AFFECTED WILL BE AFFECTED BY THE WORK TO BE DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM VERSUS THE PROPERTIES THAT WERE FLOODED, WHICH IS JUST THE PROPERTIES THAT WERE FLOODED AND IS THAT RIGHT.

RYAN COYNE: THAT'S RIGHT SO TURBULENCE, A GOOD EXAMPLE, THERE WAS ONE PROPERTY THERE THAT EXPERIENCES SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FLOODING DAMAGE TO THE TO THE STRUCTURE.

RYAN COYNE: AND BELONGING THIS IN THE HOME, THE OTHER HOMES ON AAA NORTH OR HIGHER, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO BE THERE RESIDENCES OR LEAVE TURBULENT NORTH TO ENTER GRACE CHURCH STREET, FOR I THINK LIKE 36 HOURS AFTER THE STORM NO FIRE TRUCK THE AMBULANCE KNOW POLICE CAR NO RUN TO THE GROCERY STORE.

RYAN COYNE: SO SO THAT'S THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN POTENTIAL PROPERTIES AFFECTED AND AND FLOODED, SO YOU WERE CORRECT NOW THE NUMBERS THERE I TRY.

RYAN COYNE: SOME OF THEM, YOU KNOW NOT FLOODED, BUT THE POTENTIAL PROPERTIES AFFECTED COULD BE HIGHER DEPENDING ON.

RYAN COYNE: HOW YOU WANT TO.

RYAN COYNE: YOU KNOW, LOOK AT ACCESS TO ROADWAYS BUT MANY OF THESE HAVE ALTERNATIVE WAYS TO GET IN AND OUT, SO THE NUMBERS ARE LOWER THAN.

RYAN COYNE: IT COULD BE BUT THAT THAT'S WHAT THAT THOSE TWO COLUMNS WERE.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: RIGHT.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: I GUESS JUST TO PUT A FINE POINT ON DO TONIGHT IS NOT WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR DECISIONS WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR MONEY WE'RE NOT THERE YET.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: YOU KNOW RYAN AND PUBLIC WORKS WILL BE ENDEAVORING OVER THE NEXT 12 TO 18 MONTHS AS TIME PROVIDES TO ADDRESS THE PROJECTS THAT THEY CAN DO DIRECTLY THEMSELVES.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: THE LARGER PROJECTS MAY BE INCLUDED IN A BUDGET REQUEST, THEY MAY BE INCLUDED IN THE CP OR THEY MAY BE INCLUDED IN A BOND REFERENDUM AUTHORIZATION IF WE'RE ABLE TO BE SUCCESSFUL, THERE.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: SO YOU KNOW, THE POINT IS WHERE WE ARE ADVANCING THESE WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO DO AS MUCH AS WE CAN, AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: BUT ALSO, RECOGNIZING YOU KNOW SOME OF THESE NEED MORE DESIGN, PARTICULARLY WHEN YOU IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT A REDESIGN OF THE HICKS PARK, NOT THE LOCAL STUFF BUT IF WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE DOING SOMETHING SYSTEMATICALLY WITH THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: CHURCH NATHAN, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW JUST JUST TWO QUESTIONS, ONE I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M READING THE CHART CORRECTLY, THE OPTION ONE OPTION TWO THEY'RE THEY'RE NOT CUMULATIVE IT'S EITHER OR WITH EXCEPTION TO THE ONE THAT SAYS, IN ADDITION TO RIGHT, SO WE.

RYAN COYNE: UM YOU HAVE, IN ADDITION TO MOST ARE CUMULATIVE.

RYAN COYNE: BOULDER ROAD IS NOT SO WE ARE RELYING WHICH IS OPTION ONE THAT THAT'S UNDER UNDER WAY OPTION TWO IS IS.

RYAN COYNE: IS DIFFERENT, BUT MOST OF THEM ARE EITHER EITHER OARS.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: PARK IS THE ONE WHERE I THINK THAT'S THAT ONE CONFUSED ME A LITTLE BIT TO JOSH THIS POINT.

RYAN COYNE: YEAH YEAH.

RYAN COYNE: YEAH SO THE OPTION ONE WOULD BE THE SEPARATION OF THE DRAINAGE LET'S CALL IT OAKLAND BEACH AVENUE.

RYAN COYNE: WEST WOULD BE DRAINED THROUGH ONE PIPE AND HIX PARK THROUGH ANOTHER.

RYAN COYNE: THE IN ADDITION OPTION IS THAT EXISTING PIPE WHICH WOULD END UP BEING THE HICKS PARK PIPE DOES DRAIN UNDER THE TENNIS COURTS AT DESBOROUGH IS NOT IN GREAT CONDITION AND COULD BE RELOCATED AROUND THE TENNIS COURTS, JUST AS A LONG TERM BENEFIT.

[00:35:04]

RYAN COYNE: CRACK INDOOR COLLAPSE, A LITTLE BIT AS THAT PIPE DETERIORATE SO.

RYAN COYNE: THAT WOULD BE THAT WOULD BE ONE WHERE WE COULD POTENTIALLY DO BOTH OF THOSE PROJECTS.

RYAN COYNE: INDEPENDENT BUT COLLECTIVELY TOGETHER THAT MAKES SENSE.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YEAH THAT THAT DOES THANK YOU AND ONE ONE JUST WHILE WE'RE ON HICKS PARK DOES THE WATER MAKE ITS WAY TO BLIND BROOK.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: EVENTUALLY, ANYWAY, OR IS THIS NEW PLACE THAT THE OWNER WOULD BE DISCHARGED INTO.

RYAN COYNE: SO IT MAKES ITS WAY TO BLIND BROOK.

RYAN COYNE: THROUGH A PIPE THAT DIS CHARGES.

RYAN COYNE: AT STERLING FIELD.

RYAN COYNE: SO WHAT SHOWN HERE IN IN BLUE LET'S CALL IT IS THE EXISTING DRAINAGE PIPE THAT TAKES OVER THE BEACH AVENUE.

RYAN COYNE: AND RYAN COYNE: SEE HER GET THIS GOING OF COURSE I CAN'T TAKE SOLANA BEACH AVENUE, AND ALL OF FIXED PARKS THROUGH CHAMBERLAIN STREET.

RYAN COYNE: DRAINS UNDER THE TENNIS COURTS THROUGH THESE WOODS REAR YARDS AND THEN DISCHARGES OUT BY STERLING FIELD WHAT PROPOSED WOULD BE TO TAKE OFF WILL BE JAB AND NEW THROUGH A NEW PIPE.

RYAN COYNE: DOWN WHICH SHOWN HIS DOOR IN PLACE LOCATION TO BE DETERMINED.

RYAN COYNE: AND THEN SEPARATELY TAKE.

RYAN COYNE: HICKS PARK OUT THROUGH A PARALLEL PIPE TO IT SAME DISCHARGE POINT, SO THIS IS A LARGE AREA AND LAST TIME I SHOWED THE WATERSHED MAP.

RYAN COYNE: SO IT'S IT'S A LOT THAT WHOLE BOTH PINK CIRCLE OR.

RYAN COYNE: POLYGONS DRAINED THROUGH THAT ONE PIPE CURRENTLY AND WHAT WOULD BE PROPOSED WOULD BE TO TAKE THE WESTERN SIDE THROUGH ONE PLATE TO HICKS PARK EASTERN SIDE, THROUGH A SEPARATE PIPE THEIR LARGE WATERSHEDS FOR THE THE ONE.

RYAN COYNE: RELATIVELY SMALL ARMS, A THREE FOOT DIAMETER PIPE, BUT IT COULD BE COULD BE LARGER SO THAT'S THE CONCEPT IS TO TAKE TAKE THAT OPEN BEACH AREA OUT SEPARATELY SAME DISCHARGE LOCATION SAME EVERYTHING JUST JUST MORE CAPACITY.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OKAY, SO EITHER WAY IT'S THE BLIND BROOK THAT BECOMES THE RECIPIENT EVOLVE THIS FLYER.

RYAN COYNE: EITHER WAY, THAT CHANGING THAT CORRECT.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: GOT IT AND THAT'S THE CURRENT SITUATION, TOO, SO IT'S IT'S ALL GOING TO THE SAME PLACE.

RYAN COYNE: THAT'S GOOD OKAY.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND AND IS THAT.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IS THAT A IS THERE A CONCERN ABOUT IT IS THAT BEEN AN ISSUE I MEAN ARE WE CONTRIBUTING TO WATER ISSUES IN THE BLIND BROOK OR IS THERE REALLY NO OTHER OPTION I'M JUST SORT OF SENSITIVE TO ADDING MORE WATER TO THE BREATH, BUT MAYBE THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT'S BEEN AND I DON'T KNOW.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YEAH I'M JUST.

RYAN COYNE: I'M THE PROPERTIES ARE WITHIN THE BLIND BROOK WATERSHED THAT'S NOT CHANGING WE PHYSICALLY.

RYAN COYNE: REALISTICALLY COULDN'T CHANGE THAT.

RYAN COYNE: WE'RE IN THE TITLE THE INFLUENCE SECTION OF THE BLIND BROOK CURRENTLY IN FACT PART OF THE PROBLEM IS THAT THESE PIPE THIS PIPE DISCHARGES AT ELEVATION THREE, SO IT IS TIGHTLY AFFECTED IN THAT WE RECEIVE TIED BACKWATER THROUGH THE PIPE.

RYAN COYNE: WHICH IN PART OF THIS WE'D BE LIFTED INSTALL SOME SOME TYPE VALVES TO PREVENT THAT FROM HAPPENING.

RYAN COYNE: BUT IT'S NOT.

RYAN COYNE: WE WOULDN'T BE ADDING ANY ADDITIONAL WATER TO THE BLIND BROOK SAVE POTENTIALLY.

RYAN COYNE: THE WATER IN PEOPLE'S BASEMENTS AND LAWNS WOULD GET OUT TO THE BLIND BROOK QUICKER AND QUICKER, INSTEAD OF BEING HELD ON THEIR PRIVATE PROPERTY THAT'S THE CONCEPT SO IT'S NOT IT'S A IT'S A NEGLIGIBLE CHANGE THE WATER TO THE OUTFLOW BUT WHILE WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS MAKE IT A LITTLE.

RYAN COYNE: EASIER FOR FOR THAT WATER TO GET OUT SO THAT IT'S NOT AFFECTING PROPERTY.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: RIGHT THAT'S A LONG WAY TO TRAVEL, ALL THE WAY NORTH WOULD IT MAKE SENSE IF ANY OF HIS SPARK DRAINED WEST TO THE WORK I DON'T KNOW WHAT STREET.

RYAN COYNE: SO HISTORICALLY.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SOUTH OF THE OF THE OCEAN BEACH AVENUE AND SORT OF GOING WEST, I MEAN I DON'T KNOW THE ELEVATION THERE SO WELL YEP.

RYAN COYNE: SO THERE'S A RIDGE THAT RUNS THROUGH HICKS PARK WHERE HICKS IT'S ACTUALLY HICKS AVENUE RIGHT SO ANYTHING TO THE EAST OVER HERE AND TRAIN STRAIGHT TO THE BROOK ANYTHING TO THE WEST.

RYAN COYNE: OR THOSE CLOSE DOWN THE PIPE ACTUALLY RUNS ALONG THE VALLEY, WHICH IS CHAMBERLAIN STREET THAT'S HOW IT GOES, WE DID LOOK AT TAKING THIS WATER FROM THE SOUTHERN END OF HITS PARK AND TRYING TO ROUTE IT THROUGH THE GOLF CLUB.

[00:40:09]

RYAN COYNE: IT WOULD BE A PRIVATE PROPERTY ACQUISITION AND ELEVATIONS JUST WORKED.

RYAN COYNE: SUCH THAT TO GET THROUGH THIS HILL WOULD BE ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE 20 TO 30 FOOT ROCK EXCAVATIONS AND IT WAS DEEMED AFTER WE TOOK A DEEPER DIVE AT IT WOULD ACTUALLY BE EASIER TO DO WHAT WE WERE PROPOSING WITH THAT SEPARATE PIPE BUT THAT ACTUALLY WAS OUR FIRST.

RYAN COYNE: IDEA WAS THIS JUST TRYING TO GET SOME OF THIS WATER TO GO OUT BECAUSE IT IS YOU KNOW IT'S GOT YOU LIVE.

RYAN COYNE: HERE DROP A RAIN DROPS RIGHT WHERE MY CURSOR IS, IT HAS TO TRAVEL, ALL THE WAY DOWN HERE ALL THE WAY OUT HERE JUST TO GET BACK TO THE MARSH AND STERLING TO GET BACK TO WHAT WOULD SEEM TO BE 300 FEET AWAY FROM WHERE THAT DROP OF WATER IS SO IT IS.

RYAN COYNE: IT'S AN INTERESTING CONCEPT JUST PROVED TO BE A LITTLE LITTLE DIFFICULT ONCE WE WE TOOK A LOOK AT IT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THANK YOU TO TO JUST UNDERSCORE A POINT THAT FOLLOWS FROM JOSH NATHAN'S QUESTION AND TO GO BACK TO THE DEFINITION OF OF FLASHINESS AND THE EFFECT OF IMPERVIOUS SURFACE BLIND BROOK, OF COURSE, IS CAPTURING DRAINAGE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: FROM ALL THE IMPERVIOUS SURFACE THAT FLOWS INTO DRAINS ALL THE WAY FROM THE AIRPORT DOWN.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AND SO IT WHAT WHAT WE SEE AT THE END OF A RAINFALL IS NOT ONLY THE PRODUCT OF THE RAIN AND AND IN THE RAIN HITTING ALL THE THE GRASS AND THE LIKE, BUT THE CONTRIBUTORY FLOW FROM ALL THE STORM WATER DRAINAGE SYSTEMS ALL ALONG, BOTH THE MAIN AND EAST BRANCH OF THE BROOK.

[6. Continue the public hearing for consideration of a petition from The Miriam Osborn Memorial Home to amend the text of the City of Rye Zoning Code Association to create new use and development standards for “Senior Living Facilities” in the R-2 Zoning District]

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ACTUALLY, CLARIFYING WHAT THEY MEANT BY THAT TO LIKE THAT IT LEFT ME.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: FOR EACH OF THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS AND YOU CAN REFER THAT TO THE WATERSHED FOR THAT PARTICULAR STORM WATER SYSTEM AND AND THE LINES AS WELL, SO WE'RE TRYING TO YOU KNOW PROVIDE AS MUCH OF THAT INFORMATION AS WE CAN FOR REFERENCE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THANK YOU RYAN AND GREG BOTH RYAN WILL LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU IN THE FALL ON US.

RYAN COYNE: VERY GOOD, THANK YOU.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: OKAY, NOW WE GET TO CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR CONSIDERATION OF A PETITION FROM THE MIRIAM OSBORNE MEMORIAL HOME TO A MEME THE TEXT OF THE CITY OF RIVES ZONING CODE TO CREATE NEW USE AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR SENIOR LIVING FACILITIES IN THE ART TO DISTRICT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: I WILL JUST UNDERSCORE AGAIN THAT IN AS ZONING REVIEW, AND THIS IS A FUNCTION OF BOTH LAW AND, SO FAR AS I KNOW, UNIVERSAL PRACTICE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WE PRESCRIBE FUNDAMENTAL PARAMETERS FOR DEVELOPMENT IN ZONING WE DON'T INVADE THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S JURISDICTION OVERSIGHT PLANNING AND ANY ACTUAL PLAN THAT THE OSBORNE WISHES TO PURSUE WILL BE OBLIGED TO GO THROUGH A PUBLIC SITE PLANNING PROCESS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: I'D LIKE TO INVITE THE OSBORNE IS THE APPLICANT TO MAKE ANY PRESENTATION IT WISHES TO MAKE BEFORE WE TAKE PUBLIC COMMENTS.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: A CALL IF YOU CAN PROMOTE I SEE MATT ANDERSON I'M NOT SURE WHO ELSE NEEDS TO BE PROMOTED.

KRISTEN WILSON: A VARIABLE IS COMING ON TO WELL OKAY.

KRISTEN WILSON: ANDY TANG SWIMMING.

[00:45:01]

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: YES.

STEVEN WRABEL: RIGHT TERRIFIC THANK YOU I HEARD KRISTEN MENTIONED ANDY TANG IF YOU COULD ALSO ELEVATE MICHAEL VOLANTE BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

KRISTEN WILSON: MICHAEL IF YOU COULD RAISE YOUR HAND, PLEASE, OR IF YOUR PHONE NUMBER, YOU CAN RAISE YOUR HAND.

STEVEN WRABEL: EXCELLENT SO GOOD EVENING EVERYONE NICE TO SEE YOU ALL AGAIN FOR THE RECORD MY NAME IS STUDENT REBEL I'M WITH THE LAW FROM MCCULLOUGH GOLDBERGER STOUT I'M HERE TONIGHT, ON BEHALF OF THE OSBORNE.

STEVEN WRABEL: I'M JOINED TONIGHT BY MATT ANDERSON WHO'S THE PRESIDENT AND CEO AND YOUR TONGUE OUR CIVIL ENGINEER AND PLANNER FROM DTS PROVENANCE AND, LIKE THE LAUNCH A OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEER FROM HARDESTY AND HANOVER.

STEVEN WRABEL: I JUST WANTED TO FOLLOW UP AND THANK YOU, MR MAYOR FOR NOTING THE PROCEDURAL ELEMENTS HERE ZONING AMENDMENT VERSE ACTUAL SITE PLAN APPROVAL AND I JUST WOULD LIKE TO UNDERSCORE THAT BY REITERATING THAT.

STEVEN WRABEL: THE DRAWINGS THAT WE'VE SUBMITTED TO THE COUNCIL OF DRAWINGS THAT HAVE BEEN SCRUTINIZED AND DISCUSS THIS FAR ARE ILLUSTRATIVE CONCEPT PLANS, AND THAT WAS PROVIDED IN RESPONSE TO THE COUNCIL'S REQUEST FOR SOME GUIDANCE AS TO WHAT IT COULD LOOK LIKE, SHOULD THE ZONING BE ADOPTED.

STEVEN WRABEL: THAT OUT OF THE WAY IT'S BEEN A LITTLE WHILE SINCE WE'VE BEEN IN FRONT OF YOUR COUNCIL, I BELIEVE WE WERE LAST IN FRONT OF YOU IN MARCH OF 2021.

STEVEN WRABEL: SO WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO TONIGHT WITH THE COUNCIL'S PERMISSION, GIVEN THAT IT'S BEEN SO LONG IS TO SORT OF REORIENT EVERYONE TO WHERE WE ARE IN THE PROCESS.

STEVEN WRABEL: SO WE'D LIKE TO GIVE A BRIEF HISTORY OF THIS PETITION AND THEN WE'D LIKE TO ADDRESS THE VARIOUS ISSUES THAT WE'VE HEARD THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS AND HOW WE'VE ATTEMPTED TO ADDRESS EACH ONE AS THIS PETITION IS MOVED ALONG.

STEVEN WRABEL: SO IF THAT'S ACCEPTABLE I'LL JUST DIVE RIGHT INTO IT, I I KNOW THE THE AGENDA IS MOVING ALONG.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: PLEASE GO AHEAD.

STEVEN WRABEL: SO I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE MY SCREEN.

STEVEN WRABEL: CAN YOU ALL SEE THE AERIAL PHOTO.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: YES.

STEVEN WRABEL: RIGHT SO JUST AS A STARTING POINT, WHAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE IS THE AERIAL PHOTO OF EXISTING CONDITIONS.

STEVEN WRABEL: AND THAT BLUE LINE REPRESENTS THE EXISTING HUNDRED 60 FOOT 660 FOOT YARD SET BACK FROM ALL LOT LOTS.

STEVEN WRABEL: AND, BY WAY OF BACKGROUND FOR ANY WHO MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR THE OSBORNE IS FAIRLY UNIQUE THAT WHILE IT RESIDES IN THE ARTS DISTRICT ITS CURRENT ZONING IS ACTUALLY DICTATED BY A DECLARATION OF COVENANTS AND RESTRICTIONS ESTABLISHED IN 1993.

STEVEN WRABEL: AND THAT DECLARATION WHAT IT SAYS IS WITH WITH CERTAIN PARAMETERS ANYWHERE WITHIN THAT HUNDRED AND 60 FOOT THE OSBORNE CAN ESTABLISH A BUILDING UP TO 75 FEET AND THERE'S CERTAIN COVERAGE REQUIREMENTS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE BUT THAT'S ESSENTIALLY WHERE WE ARE TODAY.

STEVEN WRABEL: WHAT WE ARE REQUESTING IS NOT A CHANGE OF USE IT'S NOT A CHANGE OF ZONING DESIGNATION.

STEVEN WRABEL: IT'S TO ESTABLISH A NEW SPECIAL PERMIT US OR YOUR CODE CALLS TO US, SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS ARE REQUIREMENTS WITHIN THE ARTS DISTRICT.

STEVEN WRABEL: TO FORMALIZE ZONING FOR THE OSBOURNES USE THE WAY IT SHOULD BE AND THERE'S ONLY WORK AND IT'S.

STEVEN WRABEL: AND TO CHANGE SOME OF THE EXISTING ZONING STANDARDS AS WE ALLUDED TO BEFORE THE OSBORNE IS LOOKING FOR SOME ADDITIONAL FLEXIBILITY.

STEVEN WRABEL: SO THAT IT CAN EVOLVE AND ADAPT TO THE CHANGING MARKETPLACE SO WE ARE ASKING THE COUNCIL FOR SOME ADDITIONAL FLEXIBILITY ON FOR AREA RATIO AND SITE COVERAGE.

STEVEN WRABEL: BUT WHAT WE HAVE HOPED TO ACHIEVE THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS IS BALANCING OF ADDITIONAL PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS, SO THAT.

STEVEN WRABEL: THAT FLEXIBILITY THAT THE OSBORN GETS ON THOSE ELEMENTS IS PROPERLY CONSIDERED WHEN WE COME TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAS THE PROPER TOOLS TO ENSURE SMART INTELLIGENT DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PROPERTY.

STEVEN WRABEL: SO I'LL TURN NOW TO THE IMAGE, YOU CAN SEE HERE THE EXISTING HUNDRED 60 FOOT SET BACK ON ALL SIDES.

STEVEN WRABEL: NOW THE NEXT SLIDE.

STEVEN WRABEL: DATES BACK TO I'LL START AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PETITION, WHICH WAS NOVEMBER OF 2018 THREE AND A HALF YEARS AGO IF IF YOU CAN BELIEVE IT AND I KNOW A LOTS HAPPENED SINCE THEN.

STEVEN WRABEL: THAT'S WHEN WE FIRST CAME TO YOU, THE COUNCIL WITH A PETITION FOR ZONING TEXT AND THEN.

STEVEN WRABEL: AFTER A COUPLE MONTHS OF DISCUSSION WITH YOU, THE COUNCIL, YOU REFERRED US TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION IN FEBRUARY OF 2019 WHAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE IS THE RESULT OF SOME OF OUR INITIAL DISCUSSIONS WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND WE'RE SHOWING.

STEVEN WRABEL: A INCREASED SETBACK FOR THE FIVE STOREY 75 FOOT BUILDINGS THAT EXISTS ALREADY OR I SHOULD SAY THAT ARE PERMITTED CURRENTLY.

STEVEN WRABEL: AS WELL AS THE CURRENT HUNDRED AND 60 FOOT STEP BACK.

[00:50:04]

STEVEN WRABEL: THAT ORIENTATION IS INTENDED TO LIMIT VISIBILITY FROM THE STREET AND DIMINISH THE VISIBILITY OF BUILDINGS, AS YOU SEE THEM FROM OUTSIDE THE PROPERTY.

STEVEN WRABEL: SO ANY FUTURE BUILDINGS, THE THINKING IS, WE WOULD WANT TO GO ALONG WITH THE SIMILAR ORIENTATION THAT WE HAVE HERE, WE BELIEVE THAT MAKES THE MOST PLANNING SENSE SO THAT'S WHAT THAT YELLOW AREA IS HERE TO ALLOW FOR CORNERS OF BUILDINGS AKIN TO THIS ORIENTATION.

STEVEN WRABEL: NOW, ONE MONTH LATER, AFTER FURTHER DISCUSSION WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THEIR INPUT WE HAD TO REVISE THE ZONING AND.

STEVEN WRABEL: RESTRICT OURSELVES A LITTLE BIT MORE, YOU CAN SEE THE BOX OF WHERE BUILDINGS CAN BE PLACED IS BEGINNING TO SHRINK ON THE PROPERTY.

STEVEN WRABEL: SO THE PLANNING COMMISSION EMPHASIZE WHAT WE'VE HEARD THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS, WHICH IS CONCERNED OVER THIS GREEN SPACE HERE ON OSBORNE ROAD AND PRESERVATION OF THAT GREEN SPACE, SO WE WE INCREASED FROM 160 FEET TO 240 FEET.

STEVEN WRABEL: THE SETBACKS FROM OSBORNE ROAD FOR ANY BUILDINGS, TO MY KNOWLEDGE, I THINK THAT'S AN UNPRECEDENTED SETBACK IN THE CITY OF RAW.

STEVEN WRABEL: WE ALSO INCREASED THE TIERED SETBACK FOR FIVE STOREY BUILDINGS AND 75 FEET AND WE DECREASED THE INCURSION OR REDUCED SETBACK AREA, IF YOU WILL, FROM 60 FOOT TO 100 FEET.

STEVEN WRABEL: THIS REPRESENTS MORE OR LESS THE ZONING THAT WAS BROUGHT BACK TO YOU, THE COUNCIL, WITH THE PLANNING BOARDS RECOMMENDATION I SHOULD ALSO KNOW THAT OUR INITIAL ASKED FOR A POINT FIVE FM OR WAS REDUCED 2.4 OR FIVE AS A RESULT OF OUR CONVERSATION WITH PLANNING BOARD.

STEVEN WRABEL: SO THIS IS WHAT WE CAME BACK TO YOU WITH WE GOT A RECOMMENDATION DECEMBER OF 2019 IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, AND WE CAME BACK TO YOU IN THE BEGINNING OF 2020.

STEVEN WRABEL: NOW, AFTER WE GOT BACK TO YOU, WE GOT ANOTHER ROUND OF INPUT, BOTH FROM YOU, THE COUNCIL AND THE PUBLIC, AND YOU CAN SEE HERE THAT WE.

STEVEN WRABEL: REVISE THE ZONING YET AGAIN TO SHRINK THE BOX, EVEN MORE SO, WHAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE IS INCREASED SETBACKS TO 300 FEET FROM OSBORNE ROAD FOR ANY BUILDINGS.

STEVEN WRABEL: AN INCREASE SETBACK OF I BELIEVE OVER 500 FEET FOR BUILDINGS OF FIVE STORIES AND A DECREASE IN THE PERMITTED HEIGHT THAT WE HAVE NOW FROM 75 FEET 65 FEET FOR FIVE STOREY BUILDINGS.

STEVEN WRABEL: AND HERE, THIS IS THE SAME YOU'LL SEE HERE IT'S JUST A LITTLE CLEANER WITHOUT THE WHITE LINES THAT'S JUST TO SHOW THE CHANGE, I SHOULD ALSO NOTE WE REMOVED THE REDUCED SETBACK AREA AWAY FROM THE PROPERTY FACING RYAN MANNER.

STEVEN WRABEL: SINCE THEN WE'VE HAD FURTHER CONVERSATIONS WITH THE COUNCIL WE'VE TAKEN SOME TIME TO ADDRESS YOUR COMMENTS AND PRODUCE SOME ADDITIONAL STUDIES.

STEVEN WRABEL: WE'VE INCORPORATED SIGNIFICANT LANDSCAPING LANGUAGE INTO THE ZONING ORDINANCE WE'VE ALSO PROVIDED IN RESPONSE TO THE COUNCIL'S REQUEST.

STEVEN WRABEL: PARKING SETBACKS 240 FEET AWAY FROM ASTHMA ROAD HUNDRED FEET AWAY FROM BOSTON POST ROAD, AS WELL AS EVERGREEN SCREENING REQUIREMENTS FOR PARKING IN RESPONSE TO THE COUNCIL ASKS.

STEVEN WRABEL: ALL OF THAT IS TO SAY, THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING WE FEEL A COLLABORATIVE PROCESS CITY, WE HAVE DONE OUR BEST TO.

STEVEN WRABEL: BAKE IN WHAT WE BELIEVE TO BE REASONABLE RESTRICTIONS TO BALANCE OUT OUR ASKS AND TO BRING YOU SORT OF UP TO SPEED TO WHERE WE ARE NOW.

STEVEN WRABEL: SO THAT'S THE HOLISTIC ZONING AND NOW I'D LIKE TO TURN IT OVER TO MATT ANDERSON JUST TO RUN THROUGH THE ISSUES WE'VE HEARD AND HOW THOSE HAVE BEEN STUDIED OR ADDRESSED.

MATT ANDERSON: BUT THANK YOU, STEPHEN AND THANK YOU TO THE COUNCIL AND FOR ALL THE NEIGHBORS FOR THEIR INPUT WE'VE WE'VE SPENT A LOT OF TIME OVER THE LAST THREE AND A HALF YEARS.

MATT ANDERSON: TALKING TO DIFFERENT FOLKS ABOUT OUR ZONING AND ABOUT WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO HERE JUST TO INTRODUCE MYSELF A LITTLE BIT I'M AT ANDERSON I AM THE CEO OF THE OSBORNE I'VE BEEN.

MATT ANDERSON: THE WITH THE HOUSE FOR NOW FOR ABOUT 23 YEARS, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, AND I'VE BEEN A MEMBER OF THE RIGHT COMMUNITY FOR 23 YEARS, SO I KNOW WHAT IT LOOK.

MATT ANDERSON: WHAT IT'S LIKE TO LIVE IN HERE AND RYE, I KNOW WHAT RIGHT IS AND IT'S AN INCREDIBLE COMMUNITY I'VE HAD THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE ON A LOT OF DIFFERENT.

MATT ANDERSON: BOARDS AND OTHER TYPES OF THINGS IN TOWN, WHETHER IT BE A LITTLE LEAGUE KIDS SPACE, THE RIDE FREE READING ROOM WHICH I'M ON NOW.

MATT ANDERSON: AND OTHER SORTS OF THINGS SO IT'S A IT'S A GREAT AND WONDERFUL PRAISE PLACE AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THE TIME FOR BEING HERE TODAY.

MATT ANDERSON: SOME THINGS THAT PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND IS THAT THE OSBORNE IS A SINGLE SITE, THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE IT IS HERE IN RIGHT IT'S BEEN HERE FOR 114 YEARS.

MATT ANDERSON: IT'S A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION SO ANYTHING THAT THE EYES FOR MAKES IN THE WAY OF A PROFIT AND ANY GIVEN YEAR IN SOME IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY GOES RIGHT BACK IN TO HERE TO TRY TO THE RESIDENCE HERE ON THE CAMPUS OR THE COMMUNITY, AND I THINK THAT'S VERY, VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW.

[00:55:20]

MATT ANDERSON: WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME AND SOMETHING THAT WE'VE GROWN SINCE I'VE BECOME CEO FROM TUNE OF 1.7 TO 3.3 MILLION AND IT'S PART OF THE BOARD AND BEING A SUCCESSFUL ORGANIZATION ALLOWS US TO CONTINUE TO GROW THAT GOING FORWARD.

MATT ANDERSON: THIS IS A HOME RIGHT IT'S A HOME TO 400 SENIORS THAT LIVE HERE, I HAVE THE OSBORNE AND YOU KNOW IN SEEING SOME OF THE COMMENTS YOU KNOW.

MATT ANDERSON: I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT THAT PEOPLE MAKE A TREMENDOUS INVESTMENT HERE TO COME LIVE HERE AND ACTUALLY SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE HERE HAD BEEN HERE LONGER THAN I HAVE.

MATT ANDERSON: THEY'VE BEEN HERE 26 YEARS, MANY OF THEM HAVE BEEN OVER HERE FOR 10 YEARS OR OR EVEN 20 YEARS FOR THAT MATTER.

MATT ANDERSON: AND THE WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE CARE OF A GENTLEMAN'S MOTHER, WHEN I CAME HERE AS A SKILLED NURSING AND HE LATER MOVED IN.

MATT ANDERSON: AND HE'S BEEN HERE FOR OVER 20 YEARS NOW, SO IT'S AN INCREDIBLE PLACE AND, UNFORTUNATELY, WITH KOBE WE HAVE NOT REALLY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, LIKE WE NORMALLY WOULD.

MATT ANDERSON: FOR SOME OF YOU PRIOR TO KOBE YOU MAY HAVE COME HERE FOR DIFFERENT CONCERTS THAT WE HAVE WITH YOUR CHILDREN.

MATT ANDERSON: YOU MAY HAVE BEEN HERE FOR DIFFERENT SPEAKING EVENTS, WE WERE ABLE TO FIRST TIME EVER, YOU KNOW, IN THREE YEARS TO BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY HAVE AN EASTER EGG HUNT.

MATT ANDERSON: WHICH WAS A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY AND WE'VE NOW ACTUALLY WE OPENED TO THE SCHOOL COMING BACK OVER THE EYES POINT SCHOOL, WHICH WE HAVE A GREAT RELATIONSHIP WITH HERE.

MATT ANDERSON: ON CAMPUS THE OTHER THING IS, IS, I JUST WANT TO SAY IS THAT OUR RESIDENTS AND OUR STAFF OUR CONTRIBUTORS TO MANY DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN TOWN, WHETHER IT'S THROUGH THEIR TIME AND ACTUALLY WORKING YOU SAW MICHELLE THOMAS EARLIER PRESENTING ABOUT THE.

MATT ANDERSON: ROTARY BET THAT THEY WERE HAVING SHE IS A MEMBER OF ROTARY AND SHE'S ACTUALLY PART OF OUR EXECUTIVE STAFF HERE AT THE HIGHEST POINT.

MATT ANDERSON: BUT MANY OF OUR RESIDENTS ARE INVOLVED IN LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS TO, WHETHER IT BE SUPPORTING THE GRAND FRIEND PROGRAM THAT WE HAD HERE WITH THE SCHOOL AS WELL.

MATT ANDERSON: SO IT'S A WONDERFUL RELATIONSHIP THAT WE HAVE BETWEEN THE OSBORNE AND THE RIGHT COMMUNITY, AND I HOPE.

MATT ANDERSON: THAT NEW PEOPLE THAT HAVE MOVED IN IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS DURING KIRBY GET TO SEE THAT AS WE MOVE OUT OF COVEN AND AND BE ABLE TO BE ENGAGED MUCH MORE IN THE COMMUNITY, AS WE GO FORWARD.

MATT ANDERSON: SO, AS WE DISCUSSED, WE HAVE MET QUITE A BIT WITH NEIGHBORS AND OVER THE COURSE THE LAST THREE AND A HALF YEARS THEY HAVE BEEN EITHER VIA ZOOM MEETINGS VIA TOURS.

MATT ANDERSON: BY EVEN PHONE CALLS TO ME HERE AT THE OSBORNE SO I JUST KIND OF WANT TO TRY TO TOUCH BASE ON ON SOME OF THOSE CONCERNS THAT WE'VE HEARD.

MATT ANDERSON: AND WE'VE JUST BEEN LISTENING INTENTLY AND AND BASED ON THAT WE'VE CONTINUED TO MAKE A LOT OF ADJUSTMENTS, I THINK THE ONE BIG THING THAT WE'VE HEARD A LOT ABOUT IS STORMWATER MANAGEMENT.

MATT ANDERSON: YOU KNOW, GIVEN EVERYTHING THAT I'VE DONE EVERYTHING THAT WE JUST WENT AHEAD AND HEARD.

MATT ANDERSON: AND I WANT EVERYBODY TO KNOW THAT WE'RE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE ACTUALLY DO EVERY DAY HERE AT THE HONEST POINT WE HAVE LARGE STORM WATER BASINS.

MATT ANDERSON: ON OUR CAMPUS TODAY THAT CONTAIN THE FLOW OF WATER HERE ON A CAMPUS AND ANY FUTURE DESIGNS THAT WE WOULD DO WOULD BE LOOKED AT, NOT ONLY BY RICE CITIES ENGINEER.

MATT ANDERSON: BUT ALSO BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION, WE HAVE THE ROOM TO ACTUALLY HOLD MORE WATER HERE, IF NEED BE, OR EXPANDING THOSE WATER BASINS HERE ON CAMPUS.

MATT ANDERSON: ALSO, JUST WANT TO REALLY TO KNOW ON THIS FOR THIS CALL WE'VE ALSO PUT IN OTHER THINGS SUCH AS PREVIOUS PAYMENTS ON OUR CAMPUS AND WE USE THEM IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'D BE LOOKING AT TO DOING IN THE FUTURE.

MATT ANDERSON: POTENTIALLY AND EVALUATING AND APPROPRIATELY PARKING SPACES OR OTHER MAYBE LOW USE AREAS HERE ON OUR CAMPUS ALSO OUR EXTENSIVE LANDSCAPING ALSO WILL BE A HUGE PART OF OUR STRONG MANAGEMENT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM HERE ON CAMPUS.

MATT ANDERSON: OTHER THINGS THAT WE'VE HEARD IS JUST THE WHOLE VISUAL APPEAL SPECIFICALLY TREES IN GREEN SPACE.

MATT ANDERSON: AS STEVE IS JUST SHARED ONE OF THE BIG PARTS OF THE ZONING IS IT ACTUALLY PROTECTS THAT GREEN SPACE, I WAS BORN ROAD.

MATT ANDERSON: RIGHT NOW, THAT SPACE CAN BE BUILT IN UP TO 160 FEET OF THE ROAD, WITH A FIVE STORY 75 FOOT BUILDING.

MATT ANDERSON: THIS ZONING PROTECTS THAT SPACE, IT WILL FOREVER BE A GREEN SPACE AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO TALK ABOUT AND HOW THAT SPACES GO AHEAD AND USE.

MATT ANDERSON: THE OTHER THING IS THE LANDSCAPE, THE LANDSCAPING ON ON CAMPUS AND SPECIFICALLY OUR TREES TREES ARE A BIG PART OF THIS ORGANIZATION.

MATT ANDERSON: IF YOU EVER COME ON TO OUR CAMPUS YOU'LL SEE THAT ALL OF OUR TREES ARE LABELED THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE ACTIVELY DID WHEN WE BECAME AN ARBORETUM HERE ON CAMPUS BACK IN 2019.

[01:00:02]

MATT ANDERSON: SEEDLINGS AND OTHER TYPES OF THINGS THAT WEREN'T NEEDED TO THIS AREA AND BROUGHT THEM AND PLANTED THEM ON CAMPUS SO WE HAVE OVER 100 DIFFERENT SPECIES OF TREES AND OVER 1000 DIFFERENT TREES, WHICH.

MATT ANDERSON: ALLOWED US TO GET ARBORETUM STATUS HERE BACK IN 2019, THIS IS A STATUS THAT WE PLAN TO KEEP I WANT TO MAKE THAT CERTAIN BASED ON THE GUIDELINES THAT ARE OUT THERE TODAY WE DON'T HAVE ANY INTENTION OF MOVING AWAY FROM THAT.

MATT ANDERSON: THE OTHER THING THAT WE'VE DONE IS WE'VE TAKEN THE LANDSCAPING ON CAMPUS AND WITHIN THE ZONING WE'VE WE'VE BAKED INTO IT, THAT IT MUST BE SATISFACTORY SATISFACTORY TO THE RIGHT PLANNING COMMISSION FOR ANY FUTURE PROJECTS.

MATT ANDERSON: THEREFORE, THEY WILL HAVE THE FINAL SAY, WHICH WILL BE A PUBLIC PROCESS FOR ANYBODY TALKING ABOUT TREES AND VISUAL APPEAL UP HERE UNDER THE OSBORNE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I THINK PEOPLE REALLY LIKE IS THAT OPEN FIELD.

MATT ANDERSON: AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO CREATE HERE IS THAT PARKLAND FEEL HERE AT THE HOUSE.

MATT ANDERSON: ANOTHER THING THAT CAME UP DURING THESE TOURS AND LETTERS AND OTHER THINGS THAT I'VE SEEN IS IS OBVIOUSLY IT'S BUILDING DESIGN.

MATT ANDERSON: YOU KNOW, AND WHAT IS IT GOING TO LOOK LIKE WELL.

MATT ANDERSON: THAT WOULD ALL HAPPEN DURING THE PLANNING PHASE, BUT ONE THING THAT I CAN ASSURE YOU, IF YOU LOOK UP AT OUR CAMPUS WHO EVER WALKED AROUND THAT ARE BEAUTIFUL ARCHITECTURE CAMPUS IS OUR HOMEWORK IT'S WHAT DRIVES PEOPLE HERE IN THE OSBORN.

MATT ANDERSON: OUR HISTORY SHOWS THAT ANYTHING THAT WE BUILD HERE WILL BE BEAUTIFUL AND WE'LL LOOK NICE.

MATT ANDERSON: BUT PROPOSED BUILDINGS AND IMPROVEMENTS WOULD HAVE TO UNDERGO THE RIGHT PLANNING COMMISSION IN ANY ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW AND THE RIGHT PLANNING COMMISSION IS AGAIN A PUBLIC INPUT PROCESS.

MATT ANDERSON: BUT INTO THE ZONING AGAIN, WE HAVE INCLUDED STEP SETBACKS, WHICH STEVE JUST SHOWED YOU AND THESE STEPS SETBACKS.

MATT ANDERSON: GO TO HELP LIMIT THE ACTUAL VISUAL APPEAL ON CAMPUS IF YOU CAN THINK ABOUT IT, HIGHER STOREY BUILDINGS BUILT FOR THE BACK.

MATT ANDERSON: THAT KIND OF CREATES THAT GEOMETRY, SO THE BUILDINGS DON'T LOOK AS BIG SO THAT'S ONE THING THAT WE BAKED INTO THE ZONING TO TRY TO HELP OUT WITH THAT.

MATT ANDERSON: WE'VE ALSO SUBMITTED IN SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE SEEN WINTER AND SUMMER VIEWS FOR CAMPUS FROM BUYING FIVE VANTAGE POINTS AND THESE THESE ACTUAL.

MATT ANDERSON: VISUAL SHOW CONSISTENCY WITH THE EXISTING CHARACTER, THE OSBORNE AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO US, TRAFFIC HAVE ANOTHER MAJOR CONCERN HERE AND RYE.

MATT ANDERSON: IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT OUR BUSINESS HOURS ARE DIFFERENT FROM THE PEAK HOURS OF THAT OF THE SCHOOL AND AND LOCAL OFFICES.

MATT ANDERSON: AND ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE, AND THIS CAME UP ON MANY OF THE TOURS IS WOULD WE BE CHANGING AND EVEN ENTRANCES ON THE CAMPUS AND THE ANSWER TO THAT IS NO, WE WILL NOT BE CHANGING ANY THE ENTRANCES ON THE CAMPUS.

MATT ANDERSON: NOW, LAST WEEK WE WENT AHEAD AND WE SUBMITTED AN UPDATED TRAFFIC STUDY, THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY WAS TO SEE WHAT EFFECT IF ANY.

MATT ANDERSON: VEHICLES GENERATED BY THE OSBOURNES PROPOSED ZONING WOULD HAVE ON THE SURROUNDING ROADWAYS.

MATT ANDERSON: AS MUCH AS 70% OF THE CURRENT OSBORNE TRAFFIC TRAVELS TO IN FRONT OF THE PLAYLAND PARK AREA AND HAS A MINIMAL IMPACT, IF ANY, TO THE OSBORN SCHOOL AREA.

MATT ANDERSON: OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEER FOUND THAT THERE MIGHT BE ONLY ABOUT AN ADDITIONAL FIVE OSBORNE RELATED VEHICLES PASSWORD FOR THE OSBORN SCHOOL DURING ANY PEAK HOUR.

MATT ANDERSON: AGAIN, IF YOU IF YOU SEE THE WAY OUR BUSINESS WORKS, MANY OF OUR WORKERS COME OFF BY 95 THE TURN RIGHT, AND THEN THEY COME UP FEEL ROAD.

MATT ANDERSON: PEOPLE THAT RIDE THE TRAIN, YOU OFTEN SEE THEM WALKING UP FROM THE TRAIN OF OZ FOR ROAD AND TAKING A WALK DOWN THE FIELD AND SOME OF YOU MAY EVEN SEE YOUR BUS WORKING THAT WAY THAT'S HOW WE GO AHEAD AND THE LIMIT ELIMINATE TRAFFIC.

MATT ANDERSON: BUT I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR OUR TRAFFIC STUDY ANALYZE POTENTIAL TRAFFIC IMPACTS FROM OSBORNE RELATED VEHICLES.

MATT ANDERSON: AS FAR AS ANALYZING AS ONE SCHOOL VEHICLE AND PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC, THE AS ONE HAS OFFERED TO CONTRIBUTE TO A FUTURE TRAFFIC STUDY.

MATT ANDERSON: IN COOPERATION WITH THE CITY IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS MADE OF ONE OF THE COUNCIL MEETINGS PRIOR AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE STAND BY.

MATT ANDERSON: ONE OTHER TOPIC THAT'S COME UP IS THE OSBORNE AND THE OSBORN SCHOOL.

MATT ANDERSON: MY BOYS WENT TO OSBORNE SCHOOL THEY WENT THROUGH THE ENTIRE HOUSE POINTS SCHOOL SYSTEM IT'S A WONDERFUL SCHOOL SYSTEM.

MATT ANDERSON: AND I HEAR LOUD AND CLEAR, FROM DIFFERENT FOLKS THAT THEY DON'T WANT THEIR STUDENTS DISRUPTED BY ANY MORE NOISE GOING FORWARD AFTER THE DISRUPTION OF KOBE.

MATT ANDERSON: WE UNDERSTAND THAT WE ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO ACTUALLY GO AHEAD AND BUILD AROUND THAT SCHOOL IN THE PAST AND WE HAVE A GREAT RELATIONSHIP IN HISTORY OF COOPERATION IN COORDINATION WITH SCHOOL.

MATT ANDERSON: AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO COORDINATE WITH THE SCHOOL OF MINISTRY ADMINISTRATION ANY PLANS EVERY GOOD DEVICE IN THAT AREA.

MATT ANDERSON: SO WE ALSO REMAIN COMMITTED TO OUR OFFER TO SHARE IT AND THE COST OF ANY SCHOOL CITY TRAFFIC STUDY AND TO HELP US SOLUTIONS WHERE POSSIBLE.

MATT ANDERSON: WITH TRAFFIC AROUND THAT OSBORNE SCHOOL, WE KNOW THAT'S A TREMENDOUS CONCERN, IT WAS A CONCERN OF FAMILIES, WHEN MY CHILDREN WENT TO THAT SCHOOL AS WELL.

MATT ANDERSON: AND, JUST LIKE WE PROVIDED LAND TO THE SCHOOL FOR ENTRY WAY AND THE PAST THERE ARE BOSTON POST ROAD AGAIN WILL FIND WAYS POTENTIALLY TO HELP THE SOLUTIONS IF THERE ARE SOLUTIONS THAT ARE POTENTIALLY PROPOSED.

[01:05:08]

MATT ANDERSON: ANOTHER THING THAT'S COME UP THAT I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY ITS TAXES, YOU KNOW YOU HEARD ME SAY A LITTLE BIT EARLIER THAT WE'RE NONPROFIT.

MATT ANDERSON: THERE'S A LOT BETTER A LOT OF QUESTION ABOUT US PAYING TAXES WE DO ACTUALLY PAY REAL ESTATE TAXES ACTUALLY WHERE THE SECOND HIGHEST TAXPAYER, HE ARRIVED, TO THE TUNE OF $2.3 MILLION.

MATT ANDERSON: NOW I WANT TO SHARE, THOUGH, THAT YOU KNOW WE WOULD ANTICIPATE INCREASED TAX REVENUE, THE CITY AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT REVOLT RESULTING FROM FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY SO THAT WOULD BE A BENEFIT BACK TO THE CITY OF BRIAN.

MATT ANDERSON: AND POTENTIALLY IN SCHOOL SYSTEMS SO OTHER QUESTIONS THAT HAVE CLUB OR CONSTRUCTION QUESTIONS.

MATT ANDERSON: AGAIN, ALL THESE CONSTRUCTION QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED NEED TO BE ANSWERED AT THE AT THE PLANNING STAGE, BUT I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW WORKERS WILL PARK AND WE STAGED ON OUR SITE.

MATT ANDERSON: THEY WILL NOT WE HAVE MUCH MORE SPACE TO ACCOMMODATE THAN THE SAME WE JUST DID, AND I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN UPSET ABOUT WHERE THEY HAVE HAD TO PARK.

MATT ANDERSON: BUT WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT PARKING AND STAGING WILL BE HERE ON SITE AND THERE'LL BE NO PARKING ON THE ROADWAYS HERE.

MATT ANDERSON: AND ONCE AGAIN THE OSBORNE WILL COORDINATE WITH SCHOOL AND ADMINISTRATION WITH ANY CONSTRUCTION RELATED MATTERS SO AGAIN WE'VE LISTENED AND.

MATT ANDERSON: YOU KNOW THE OSBORNE WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE SOME ADDITIONAL CHANGES THE ZONING AMENDMENT TONIGHT.

MATT ANDERSON: AND YOU KNOW, THIS IS JUST AFTER GIVING SIGNIFICANT CONSIDERATION TO THE COMMENTS OF JUST NEIGHBORS AND ALSO THE COUNCIL, AND SO WE FEEL YOU KNOW THAT WE CAN STILL MAKE SOME CHANGES HERE AND THOSE REVISIONS WOULD BE THE FOLLOWING.

MATT ANDERSON: WE WOULD BE ASKED IF WE WOULD BE POSING THIS EVENING TO MOVE FROM THE FAR FROM POINT 452 POINT FOUR, THREE, WE WOULD ALSO PROPOSE TO CHANGE OUR INITIAL PROPOSAL 35% MAXIMUM PREVIOUS SITE COVERAGE DOWN TO 33%.

MATT ANDERSON: WE ARE ALSO PROPOSING TO MOVE THE HEIGHT OF A FOUR STORY BUILDING FROM 60 FEET DOWN TO 55 FEET ON OUR CAMPUS.

MATT ANDERSON: AND ANOTHER ITEM THAT WE'D LIKE TO PROPOSE IS BUILDINGS PROPOSED WITH HIM 400 FEET OF OSBORNE ROAD WOULD BE LIMITED TO THREE STORIES AND A HEIGHT OF 45 FEET.

MATT ANDERSON: AGAIN, THESE ARE REVISIONS THAT WE FEEL THAT WE COULD MAKE AND STILL PROVIDE THE NECESSARY FLEXIBILITY TO THE OSBOURNES CONTINUED BY ABILITY GOING FORWARD.

MATT ANDERSON: BUT AGAIN, WE NEED THESE OTHER THINGS TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO THRIVE, NOT ONLY FOR ARRIVED, BUT THE SENIORS HERE ON OUR CAMPUS IN THE COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT THAT RAN.

MATT ANDERSON: WE HAVE ALSO ALWAYS ENDEAVORED TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR AND A MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY AND AND RECOGNIZE THAT THE OSBORNE AS A HOMEFRONT SANDERS HAS AN ONGOING RELATIONSHIP WITH BOTH MS AND RYE RACK.

MATT ANDERSON: AS YOU KNOW, WE PREVIOUSLY OFFERED SPACE FOR MS BUT UNDERSTAND THAT THEY HAVE FOUND IT NEEDED SPACE ELSEWHERE IN THE CITY.

MATT ANDERSON: NEVERTHELESS, WE ARE STILL COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH THE CITY ON A COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR MS AND IN RHINEBECK AND WE WANTED TO MAKE THAT NOTED THIS EVENING, SO THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR TIME AND I TURN IT BACK TO THE COUNCIL FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IF I MAY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRESENTATION MATT AND FOR THE CONCESSIONS THAT YOU ARE AGAIN MAKING I WANTED YOU TO EXPAND A LITTLE BIT ON THE CLUBHOUSE CONCEPT, SOME OF THE COMMUNICATIONS WE'VE GOTTEN IN THE MESSAGES WE'VE GOTTEN.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AS I UNDERSTAND IT IS MORE IT'S NOT A PRIVATE CLUB IT'S MORE A COMMUNITY CENTER, BUT YOU CAN NAME IT WHATEVER YOU WANT SO, BUT IT IS MORE THAT IT SERVES AS A COMMUNITY CENTER IS THAT THE PURPOSE OF THE CLUBHOUSE CONCEPT.

MATT ANDERSON: YEAH SO AGAIN WE'RE TALKING CONCEPTS HERE, BASED ON ZONING UM ONE THING THAT WE WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO DO IN THE FUTURE.

MATT ANDERSON: IS TO ACTUALLY GO AHEAD AND BUILD A CLUBHOUSE WITH WITH MORE AMENITIES AND MORE MEETING SPACE AND, AS SOME OF YOU HAVE KNOWN THAT HAVE BEEN IN HERE RIGHT FOR FOR SOME TIME.

MATT ANDERSON: WITH THAT MEETING SPACE IN OUR AUDITORIUM AND EVERYTHING ELSE WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO OFFER A LOT OF LEARNING THINGS AND OTHER THINGS WITH THE COMMUNITY.

MATT ANDERSON: AND BY HAVING THE SPACE, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE REALLY FEEL THAT WE CAN OPEN UP MORE TO THE COMMUNITY, BECAUSE IT WOULD PROVIDE A LARGER SPACE IN AN UNREGULATED AREA CURRENTLY OUR AUDITORIUM.

MATT ANDERSON: IS BUILT IN A ASSISTED LIVING AREA THAT ASSISTED LIVING AREA IS A REGULATED ENTITY.

MATT ANDERSON: SO, BY BUILDING THIS CLUBHOUSE AMENITY SPACE, I DO SEE OPPORTUNITIES, A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES TO INVITE SENIORS AND OTHER COMMUNITY MEMBERS HERE ON CAMPUS.

MATT ANDERSON: TO PARTICIPATE IN OTHER FUNCTIONS HERE WITH OUR RESIDENTS AS WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST, BUT TO DO IT IN AN AREA THAT ISN'T REGULATED AND WHEN IT GETS SHUT DOWN AT DIFFERENT TIMES.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT IT'S NOT A PRIVATE MEMBERSHIP PEOPLE THINK CLUB AND THEY THINK IT'S AN ELITIST THING CLUBBY IT'S NOT THAT IT'S A.

MATT ANDERSON: NO IT'S NOT IT'S NOT NOT A CLUB KNOW, SO THERE ARE MODELS OUT THERE, WHERE PEOPLE WILL OFFER INDIVIDUALS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY TO GO AHEAD AND USE.

MATT ANDERSON: DIFFERENT SERVICES AS AN INTRODUCTION TO THE CAMPUS BUT IT'S NOT A CLUB, IN THE SENSE OF THAT THIS IS A.

MATT ANDERSON: AN OREGON YOU KNOW PLACE WITH MORE SPACE TO BE ABLE TO HOLD THE DIFFERENT COMMUNITY FUNCTIONS AND OTHER TYPES OF THINGS ON OUR CAMPUS SO NO THERE WOULDN'T BE ALL THESE PEOPLE COMING HERE AS A CLUB ROUTINELY TO THE CAMPUS IF THAT'S THAT'S THE QUESTION.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THANK YOU YEP.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: NOT A LITTLE BIT MORE ON OBVIOUSLY.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: HALF OF OUR MIND AND HASN'T LEFT IT SINCE IDA IS IS FLOODING SO COULD YOU JUST TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE, AND I THINK YOU SPOKE ABOUT IMPERVIOUS SURFACE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: REDUCING THAT AND JUST WHAT THOSE PLANS COMPARED TO WHAT THE FOOTPRINT ALREADY IS IN TERMS OF IMPERVIOUS SURFACES VERSUS PREVIOUS SURFACE AND JUST A LITTLE BIT I KNOW YOU HAVE THOSE BASINS I'VE SEEN THEM.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT COULD YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE, BECAUSE I THINK SO MANY, INCLUDING I THINK ALL OF US ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT ANY.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IMPACT US WOULD HAVE ON ON WATER RETENTION AND FLOODING.

MATT ANDERSON: SURE ANDY OR STEVE YOU WANT TO HELP ME OUT THERE, SO.

MATT ANDERSON: I MEAN, I CAN.

MATT ANDERSON: TIE IN EVERYTHING IN THE SINCE.

ANDREW TUNG: I'D BE HAPPY TO DO THAT.

MATT ANDERSON: YEAH YEAH OKAY.

ANDREW TUNG: SO WE HAVE THE THE OSBORN.

ANDREW TUNG: CAMPUS IS KIND OF ON THE THE RICH LINE BETWEEN THE BLIND BROOK ON THE EASTERN SIDE BLIND WORK WATERSHED WHICH.

ANDREW TUNG: RYAN WAS REFERRING TO EARLIER ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE CAMPUS TRAINING TOWARDS THE POST ROAD AND THE MERRICK RIVER BASIN TRAINING TOWARDS FEEL ROAD.

ANDREW TUNG: SO WE HAVE A KIND OF A UNIQUE SITUATION OR TOP OF THE WATERSHED SITUATION, IF YOU WILL, WHERE WE'RE ABLE TO CONTROL ALL THE FLOWS FROM OUR CAMPUS THERE'S NOBODY FLOWING UPSTREAM ONTO THE CAMPUS THAT WE HAVE JUST HAVE TO ACCEPT.

ANDREW TUNG: AND THE BASIS THAT WERE BUILT AS PART OF PATHWAY 2000 ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO OCCUR AT THE BOUNDARIES, AND SO ARE ABLE TO MANAGE, BOTH FROM A QUANTITY AND QUALITY STANDPOINT, THE WATER THAT COMES OFF THE OSBORN CAMPUS AND THE OSBORNE AS MATT HAS MENTIONED, IS VERY.

ANDREW TUNG: INTERESTED IN MAINTAINING AS MUCH GREEN AS POSSIBLE, SO THE DECISIONS AS TO WHETHER OR SOMETHING IS A SURFEIT WELL A BUILDING.

ANDREW TUNG: WOULD HAVE TO BE AN IMPERVIOUS SERVICE BUT A BUT A PAVEMENT OR USE AREA DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE IMPERVIOUS DEPENDING ON HIS.

ANDREW TUNG: LEVEL OF US ROADWAYS IN THE NORTHEAST SHOULD BE PERVERTED SHOULD BE IMPERVIOUS RATHER FOR MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY BY THINGS LIKE.

ANDREW TUNG: PARKING AREAS THAT PARKING SPACES, THAT ARE NOT USED EVERYDAY CAN BE MADE OF PREVIOUS PAVING AND, IN FACT, SOME OF THE SPACES, IF YOU ARE ON CAMPUS AND YOU SEE KIND OF SURPLUS OR SUPPLEMENTAL SUPPLEMENTAL SPACES ALONG THE LOOP ROAD YOU'LL NOTICE THEY'RE MADE OF, AND THEY ARE PAVED IN A.

ANDREW TUNG: GRID PAPER THAT IS IN FILLED WITH GRASS AND OR GRAVEL SO THOSE SERVICE PREVIOUS PARKING SPACES AND IT'S A MATTER OF BALANCING HERE IN THE NORTHEAST BETWEEN US, SAFETY AND.

ANDREW TUNG: MAINTENANCE SO WHAT WE HAVE DONE WITH THE OSBORNE AND THE HUSBAND HAS DONE IN THE PAST AND HAS COMMITTED TO DO SO IN THE FUTURE IS TO LOOK AT EACH PIECE OF.

ANDREW TUNG: FLAT SURFACE AND DETERMINE CAN IT BE DONE IN IN A PREVIOUS MANNER SO IS TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF FLOW THAT'S GENERATED FROM THE CAMPUS AND THEN HOW BEST CAN THAT FLOW BE MANAGED WITHIN THE CAMPUS RIGHT NOW IT'S A COMBINATION OF PIPING AND BASINS.

ANDREW TUNG: RAIN GARDENS AND OTHER GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE CAN BE USED TO BLEND THE GREEN COMPONENTS OF THE OSBORNE WITH THE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT FUNCTION SO.

ANDREW TUNG: THAT'S THE HUSBAND HAS COMMITTED TO MAKE THAT PART OF EVERY DESIGN PROCESS GOING FORWARD SO THAT THAT BALANCE IS BEST ACHIEVED.

ANDREW TUNG: AND THE IMPERVIOUS SURFACES ARE REDUCED, AND THEN ALL SERVICES ARE MANAGED ON CAMPUS IN THOSE BASES OR OTHER BASINS MORE UNDERGROUND STRUCTURES THAT MAY BE MORE APPROPRIATE FOR PARTICULAR AREA.

[01:15:07]

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THESE ARE THE AREAS THAT ARE SURROUNDED BY BY BERMS AND OUR LOW LYING AREAS, FOR INSTANCE, THERE IS ONE AT THE CORNER OF FEEL AND OSBORNE ROAD.

ANDREW TUNG: THAT'S CORRECT THERE VEGETATED STORM WATER BASINS, THERE ARE TWO MORE AND YOU MAY DEPENDING ON HOW CLOSE YOU GET OR HOW WHETHER YOU CAN LOOK INTO THEM, YOU MAY NOT NOTICE THEM FROM OFF SITE, BUT THERE ARE TWO ALONG THE POST ROAD AND OLD POST ROAD FRONTAGE.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND SORRY, THEY WERE SHOWN ON THE MAP THAT STEPHEN EARLIER.

YES.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AND, AND SO THE WAY THEY WORK IS THEY RETAIN THE WATER SUBJECT TO IT'S EVENTUALLY PASSING THROUGH A PIPE AND AND OUT INTO OUR STORM WATER SYSTEM THAT'S.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: RIGHT.

ANDREW TUNG: THAT'S CORRECT THE THE BASIS OF A NUMBER OF PURPOSES ONE TO HOLD WATER, SO THAT ANY.

ANDREW TUNG: SEDIMENT OR CONTAMINANT CONTAMINANTS CAN SETTLE OUT WHILE THE WATER IS IN THE BASIN AND THEN SECONDLY TO MANAGE THE FLOW SO THAT IT'S GETS PIPED TO THE SURROUNDING CITY SYSTEM AT A RATE THAT THE CITY THAT THE SYSTEM CAN ACCOMMODATE.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND MAYOR MAYOR, I WANTED TO BRING UP WHEN AN APPLICATION LIKE THESE COMES THROUGH, AND SOME PEOPLE ARE SAYING WELL WHAT'S IN IT FOR US.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IF THERE ARE ANY UPGRADES TO THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT NEEDS TO BE MADE TO ACCOMMODATE THE NEW RESIDENTS, WHAT HAPPENS WITH THAT WHO FOOTS THE BILL, AND WHAT ARE, WHAT ARE THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT OPEN UP FOR US TO IMPROVE OR UPGRADE OUR INFRASTRUCTURE.

ANDREW TUNG: I COULD SPEAK TO THAT RELATIVE TO SANITARY SEWER WHICH WE KNOW THAT THE CITY HAS UNDERTAKEN A LARGE SANITARY SEWER STUDY TO TO ASCERTAIN THE CONDITION OF ITS VARIOUS COMPONENTS.

ANDREW TUNG: EARLY ON IN THIS PROCESS, WE WERE ABLE TO BORROW SOME OF THAT DATA FROM RYAN, AND WE IN THIS OVER TIME WE ACTUALLY HAVE DEVELOPED OR THE OSBORNE HAS FOUGHT FOR CONNECTIONS TO THE SURROUNDING CITIES SYSTEM.

ANDREW TUNG: AND WE ARE ABLE TO THIS MANAGE ANY FUTURE FLOWS TO THE MOST APPROPRIATE PORTION OF THAT SYSTEM THAT CAN BEST ACCOMMODATE THOSE FLOWS.

ANDREW TUNG: WE ANTICIPATE THAT IN THE FUTURE, I MAY REQUEST ANY ADDITIONAL FLOWS TO THE SYSTEM TO HELP CONTRIBUTE TO.

ANDREW TUNG: THE UPKEEP OF THAT SYSTEM AND THE IMPROVEMENT, WHERE APPROPRIATE, JUSTICE RYAN WAS OVERSEEING OR REVIEWING POTENTIAL UPGRADES TO THE STORM WATER SYSTEM.

ANDREW TUNG: BASED ON THE STUDY THAT WAS DONE, WE ANTICIPATE THAT THAT THERE MAY BE A SIMILAR PROGRAM TO UPGRADE COMPONENTS OF THE SANITARY SYSTEM AND WHEN.

ANDREW TUNG: NEW FLOWS, SUCH AS WOULD COME FROM THE OSBORNE ARE INTRODUCED OR PROPOSED TO BE INTRODUCED TO THE SYSTEM WE ANTICIPATE THAT THERE WOULD BE THERE WOULD BE NO REQUIREMENTS TO CONTRIBUTE TO THOSE UPGRADES AS APPROPRIATE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: JOSH NATHAN.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THANK YOU UM.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THANKS FOR THE PRESENTATION I'VE GOT A FEW QUESTIONS I'LL I'LL START WITH ONE AND.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THEN COME BACK TO THE OTHERS IN CASE MY QUESTION LEADS MY COLLEAGUES TO OTHER QUESTIONS.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO LET ME START WITH ONE THAT REALLY HAS TO DO WITH.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: HOW YOU IMAGINE THE PHASING OF THIS TO WORK.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SOME OF THE THINGS, LOOKING AT THE PLAN DON'T LOOK PARTICULARLY.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: JUST DISRUPTIVE WITHIN YOUR OWN CAMPUS WHEREAS OTHERS LIKE THE WHOLE COTTAGE SECTION.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: HOW DOES THAT WORK YOU'VE GOT A WHOLE BUNCH OF RESIDENTS LIVING IN THOSE COTTAGES AND THEN YOUR PROPOSAL IS TO REPLACE THEM, AND THAT IS THE END OF THE CAMPUS THAT CONCERNS.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SOME OF YOUR NEIGHBORS SO I JUST WONDERING IF YOU COULD.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SPEAK TO THAT A LITTLE BIT RIGHT NOW I'VE GOT SOME OTHER QUESTIONS, BUT LET ME, LET ME JUST GIVE YOU THAT ONE YEAH SO.

MATT ANDERSON: JOSH I JUST WANT TO REITERATE THAT THAT IS NOT A PLAN OR OR PROPOSAL AGAIN I KNOW THAT'S BEEN PUT OUT THERE, NUMEROUS TIMES.

MATT ANDERSON: ABOUT THOSE THOSE GARDEN HOMES AND SUCH THAT WOULD COME LITERALLY AFTER A YEAR OF DIFFERENT MARKETING STUDIES THOSE GARDEN HOMES HAVE BECOME INCREDIBLY POPULAR.

[01:20:02]

MATT ANDERSON: THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE FEEL IS VERY MUCH NEEDED FOR OUR CAMPUS FOR NOT ONLY OUR CURRENT RESIDENCE.

MATT ANDERSON: BUT ALSO WOULD BE DESIRABLE FOR FUTURE RESIDENCE AS WELL, BUT AGAIN WE'D HAVE TO GO THROUGH A LONG PROCESS HERE WITH OUR CURRENT RESIDENTS AND FUTURE REFERENCE TO FIND OUT WHAT THE WANTS AND DESIRES ARE OF FUTURE RESIDENTS.

MATT ANDERSON: AND AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO REITERATE THAT THOSE THOSE GARDEN HOMES HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THOSE PEOPLE HAVE CONTRACTS ON THOSE HOMES AND AND THAT WOULD BE.

MATT ANDERSON: YOU KNOW SOMETHING THAT OBVIOUSLY WOULD BE A LONG TIME, IF WE WERE TO DO THAT, BUT THIS IS GOING TO BE CAREFUL PLANNING GOING FORWARD AND THEN WE'LL HAVE TO MANEUVER THROUGH THAT AS WE GO.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO IS IT FAIR TO SAY, AND I DON'T MEAN TO PUT WORDS OR TIMES, OR ANYTHING AND I'M NOT TRYING TO LOCK ANYONE IN ANYTHING I'M JUST.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: TRYING TO PAINT IT GET A PICTURE PAINTED, AT LEAST IN MY HEAD AND THE BENEFIT OF MY COLLEAGUES AND THE PUBLIC THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AT LEAST SEVERAL YEARS BEFORE.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SOME OF THESE THINGS WOULD MAYBE NOT THE CLUBHOUSE THAT ISN'T JUST ON FRESH GROUND BUT YOU KNOW THAT GARDEN HOME AREA I MEAN IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE YEARS AWAY FROM THAT BEING DISTURBED OR ALTERED.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BETWEEN PLANNING AND THE FACT THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE LIVING THERE.

MATT ANDERSON: I WOULD SAY ANYTHING ON CAMPUS JOSH WOULD BE YEARS AWAY WHEREVER THAT MAY BE, AND AGAIN THAT WILL COME THROUGH THE MARKETING STUDY, BUT I WOULD SAY THIS PROCESS, I WOULD HAVE NEVER EXPECTED WE'D STILL BE HERE AFTER THREE AND A HALF YEARS.

MATT ANDERSON: SO, BUT I DO KNOW A TYPICAL PLANNING PROCESS FOR MARKETING IS IS YOU KNOW GOING THROUGH ALL THAT IS.

MATT ANDERSON: YOU KNOW, SIX MONTHS TO A YEAR AND THEN YOU'VE GOT THEN SITTING DOWN AND TAKING IT WITH AN ARCHITECTURAL FIRM AND STARTING TO KIND OF DRAW THAT UP AND HAVING THOSE CONVERSATIONS AND THEN.

MATT ANDERSON: GOING THROUGH THE WHOLE PUBLIC PROCESS WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND FURTHER ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES THAT'S GOING TO BE, IN MY OPINION, A COUPLE YEARS BEFORE.

MATT ANDERSON: A SHOVEL WHATEVER GETTING THE GROUND SO WE'RE TALKING SOME TIME, I THINK THE OTHER IMPORTANT THING THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT IS PHASING SO THIS, THIS WOULD DEFINITELY BE PHASED THIS ISN'T ANYTHING THAT.

MATT ANDERSON: WOULD GET DONE ALL AT ONCE, AND JUST PUT DOWN SO THAT A LUSTER DIAGRAM THAT YOU SAW AGAIN WAS TRYING TO ANSWER A LOT OF QUESTIONS THAT PEOPLE HAD.

MATT ANDERSON: WHAT DOES A FOUR STORY 60 FOOT BUILDING LOOK BACK, LIKE AT A SETBACK, AND WE WERE TRYING TO ANSWER QUESTIONS, BASED ON THAT FROM DIFFERENT VANTAGE POINTS WHERE WE KNEW THERE WERE CONCERNS AND THAT'S WHERE THOSE.

MATT ANDERSON: DRAWINGS AND RENDERINGS MORE WERE MADE FROM WITH ACTUAL TYPOGRAPHY AND EVERYTHING KIND OF GOING AHEAD AND PUT IN THEM SO AGAIN THAT A LUSTER DIAGRAM WAS TRYING TO ANSWER A LOT OF QUESTIONS.

MATT ANDERSON: ABOUT WHAT THIS COULD LOOK LIKE IF IT WAS FULLY BUILT OUT TODAY WITH DIFFERENT THINGS, BUT AGAIN, THIS WOULD BE THIS WOULD BE A PROCESS THAT WOULD HAPPEN OVER TIME.

MATT ANDERSON: YOU'D PHASE IT WITH THE FIRST PROCESS WITH SOME INDEPENDENT LIVING AND YOU KNOW AGAIN THAT THE CLUBHOUSE I COULD SEE HOW THAT GOES AND THEN.

MATT ANDERSON: WE'D HAVE TO COME BACK SECOND PHASE THAT WOULD ALL HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE NEXT REVIEW AGAIN WITH THE PUBLIC PROCESS WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND EVERYTHING WOULD HAVE TO BE REVIEWED AT THAT POINT IN TIME.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THANKS.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I'VE GOT TWO MORE QUESTIONS, BUT JUST REMEMBER I DON'T WANT TO HARM THE MICROPHONE IF ANYONE'S GOT SOMETHING PRESSING OR.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: JUST KEEP WHY DON'T YOU WHAT WHY DON'T YOU GO AHEAD.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: JOSH AND, AS YOU SUGGESTED IT FATHERS HAVE FOLLOW ON QUESTIONS THEY'LL JUMP IN.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: GREAT THANKS UM.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THIS NEXT ONE IS.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I HOPE IT'S NOT IN ARTFUL IT MIGHT BE BUT MATT YOU AND I HAVE TALKED OFFLINE ABOUT THIS A LOT, AND SO I THINK YOU HOPEFULLY YOU APPRECIATE THE SPIRIT IN WHICH WHICH IT'S ASKED IF I HOPE DO A GREAT JOB OF IT HERE BUT.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I'M THINKING ABOUT YOU KNOW WE'VE RECEIVED AND YOU'VE SEEN A LOT OF LETTERS AND A LOT OF COMMUNICATIONS AND.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW, WE CAN THINK OF THE OSBORN COMMUNITY IS YOU KNOW ONE NEIGHBORHOOD WE CAN THINK OF THAT AREA OF OUR CITY AS.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BEING COMPRISED OF MAYBE THREE NEIGHBORHOODS OR JUST THE WHOLE THING IS EVEN A LARGER NEIGHBORHOOD.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND SO I HAVE A VERY CLEAR SENSE OF THE THE VALUE TO THE CAMPUS NEIGHBORHOOD OF WHAT IT IS YOU WANT TO DO, AND WHY THAT'S AN IMPORTANT AND.

[01:25:08]

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT IN TERMS OF THE GREATER NEIGHBORHOOD.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: CAN YOU ARTICULATE.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: HOW.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THIS IMPROVES AND YOU MAY HAVE COVERED THIS, BUT JUST TO CALL IT OUT AND IN CASE YOU DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO FULLY DO IT.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WHAT ARE THE OTHER THINGS THAT BENEFIT THE LARGER NEIGHBORHOOD AS A WHOLE, FOR EXAMPLE, THERE'S THAT LITTLE SORT OF DEFAULT PARK IN THE CORNER.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT WHAT ELSE IS THERE WE'VE TALKED ABOUT GREEN WAYS AND GREEN SPACE, AND YOU KNOW HOW THE THE CAMPUS IS PART OF A BIGGER NEIGHBORHOOD AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU COULD SPEAK TO THAT AND TO BE BLUNT WHAT IS WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOUR NEIGHBORS SURROUNDING YOU.

MATT ANDERSON: SO I THINK YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS IS IS AND I'VE SEEN THIS AND WE'RE NOT IN THIS POSITION RIGHT NOW I'M JUST I'M JUST GOING TO FLAT OUT PUT THAT OUT THERE.

MATT ANDERSON: BUT YOU KNOW, A SINGLE SITE SENIOR LIVING RETIREMENT COMMUNITY IT'S IT'S A BREED THAT IS CONTINUE TO GET MORE AND MORE RARE RIGHT.

MATT ANDERSON: SO THE OSBORNE AS AN ORGANIZATION HAS TO CONTINUE TO THRIVE SO.

MATT ANDERSON: AND IF IT DOESN'T EVOLVE.

MATT ANDERSON: A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS CAN HAPPEN AND YOU'VE KIND OF SEEN IT OVER TIME, WITH THE HOUSE ONCE HISTORY RIGHT.

MATT ANDERSON: WHEN THE OSBORNE WASN'T SUCCESSFUL AND AGAIN I'M NOT SAYING THAT'S HAPPENING IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, WHATEVER, BUT THINGS ARE CHANGING RAPIDLY IN THE SENIOR MARKET WITH COMPETITIVENESS AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

MATT ANDERSON: AS ONE IS HOW TO SELL AND NOW SOME OF THAT LANDS GONE FOR THINGS THAT WE CAN ALL SEE AS A BENEFIT, AND I WAS BORN SCHOOL, OTHERS HAVE IT HAS TURNED INTO THE CORPORATE CLASSES ACROSS THE STREET FROM US.

MATT ANDERSON: OR WEST MED OR THE WHAT NOW IS THE ST REGIS LEAVING OUT WE OWNED ALL THAT LAND WE OWN LAND ALL THE WAY UP TO APPLE IS.

MATT ANDERSON: SO, THE ONE THING THAT I WILL SAY, IS IT THE ZONING IN ITSELF ALLOWS THE OSBORNE TO CONTINUE TO BE THE OSBORNE, THAT IS, WHICH IS A BEAUTIFUL THRIVING SUCCESSFUL SENIOR LIVING ORGANIZATION THAT WE ALL CAN BE PROUD OF.

MATT ANDERSON: AND IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT I LEARNED FROM RYAN IS EVERYBODY WANTS EXCELLENCE, YOU HAVE ONE OF THE MOST EXCELLENT PROMINENT SENIOR LIVING RETIREMENT COMMUNITIES IN THE NATION, RIGHT HERE.

MATT ANDERSON: I HAVE SEEN OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT WEREN'T ALLOWED TO MAKE THE CHANGES, BUT WE MAY BACK AT PATHWAY 2000 THEY'RE NOT SURVIVING TODAY, AND I WOULD NOT WANT TO BE THEM.

MATT ANDERSON: SO, AGAIN I'M NOT TRYING TO PAY A AN ENTIRELY GRIM PICTURE HERE OF THE FUTURE OF THE OSBORNE BUT, AT THE OSBORN WASN'T TO MAKE CHANGES GOING DOWN THE ROAD IT'S GOING TO HAVE.

MATT ANDERSON: REPERCUSSIONS SO THERE'S REPERCUSSIONS WOULD THAT AFFECT LOCAL NEIGHBORHOODS WHETHER THEY SEE IT NOW TODAY OR NOT, I CAN TELL YOU THAT, SOMETHING THAT WOULD OCCUR DOWN THE ROAD IF WE AREN'T ABLE TO MAKE THE ADJUSTMENTS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO PREPARE FOR HERE GOING DOWN THE ROAD.

MATT ANDERSON: AGAIN, WE ARE HEAVILY WEIGHTED TOWARDS THE HEALTHCARE SIDE HERE.

MATT ANDERSON: AND WE NEED TO WAIT THAT A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY, BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE RETIREMENT COMMUNITIES ARE SUCCESSFUL GOING FORWARD AND WE'RE TRYING TO POSITION OURSELVES, KNOWING THE BABY BOOM GENERATIONS COMING.

MATT ANDERSON: SO WHAT IT OFFERS A LOT OF PROTECTIONS AND OFFERS PROTECTIONS WITHIN THAT GREEN SPACE AND OWNS PROTECTIONS IN THAT A LARGER COMPANY DOESN'T COME IN AND.

MATT ANDERSON: AND POTENTIALLY TRY TO TAKE OVER FOR THE OSBORNE AND SOMETHING DOWN THE ROAD, SO I THINK THOSE ARE PROTECTIONS THAT ARE OFFERED, I THINK THE THE OTHER THINGS WITH THE SETBACKS PARKING RIGHT NOW CAN ACTUALLY BE BUILT, ALL THE WAY UP TO THE POST ROAD WE'VE MOVED BACK THAT 200 FEET.

MATT ANDERSON: THAT GREEN SPACES HUGE PEOPLE DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THAT GREEN SPACES ACTUALLY GREEN SPACE THAT THAT WE OWN AND WE CAN BUILD A FIVE STORY BUILDING PROVIDES THAT PROTECTION.

MATT ANDERSON: WE'VE PUT IN FOR THAT FOR PASSIVE USE IN, AND AGAIN I PRESENTED IN THE PAST, HOW CAN THAT BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY, HOW CAN WE WORK TOGETHER AND LOOKING AT THAT SPACE.

MATT ANDERSON: AND USING THAT SPACE TOGETHER FOR SOME REASON I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THAT DIFFERENT PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT THOUGHTS ON THAT SPACE I'VE BEEN ASKED ABOUT THAT SPACE BEING FIELD SPACE IN THE PAST FROM DIFFERENT PEOPLE TO YOU NAME IT, BUT I ALSO UNDERSTAND AGAIN.

MATT ANDERSON: FROM DIFFERENT PEOPLE THAT LIVE ON OURS FOR ROAD AND OTHER TYPES OF THINGS THERE'S THERE'S THINGS THAT THEY WOULDN'T WANT THAT NECESSARILY BE AS WELL, SO AGAIN, I THINK IT OFFERS PROTECTIONS.

MATT ANDERSON: TO LOCAL NEIGHBORS NOW WHETHER WHETHER DOWN THE ROAD THAT WORKS INTO SOMETHING ELSE WITH THE CAMPUS BEING OPENED THE THE ISSUE THAT I HAVE WITH THAT.

MATT ANDERSON: AGAIN, THAT WE ALWAYS HAVE TO CONSIDER IS JUST THE SECURITY OF THE CAMPUS AND THE SENIORS THAT LIVE ON THIS CAMPUS IN THAT WAY, SO IT'S IT'S A BALANCE, I GUESS, IS THE BEST WAY I CAN PUT IT, AN OPENING UP.

[01:30:09]

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND I AND THAT'S HELPFUL AGAIN TO MY UNDERSTANDING, AND I THINK APPRECIATING THE REPERCUSSIONS OF NOT DEVELOPING AND THE NEED TO INDOORS IS IMPORTANT FOR ALL OF US TO APPRECIATE AND THAT'S NOT.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: NOT TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: RIGHT HI AND AND I I GET THAT ARE THERE THINGS THAT THE.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE MORE NARROWLY FOCUSED LENS OF A JOB JASON NEIGHBOR COULDN'T LOOK TO AND SAY.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND I, AND AGAIN I JUST MEAN THIS IN AN OPEN WAY IF I'M LIVING ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE OUTWARD AS IT IS TODAY THERE'S A LOVELY SORT OF.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: EVOLUTION OF GREEN TO COTTAGE TO.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BEAUTIFUL STONE BUILDINGS AND THAT HAS A CERTAIN LOOK AND FEEL AND THEN YOU COME DOWN TO BOSTON POST ROAD AND THE CAMPUS KIND OF OPENS UP IN FRONT OF YOU THERE'S IT'S GORGEOUS AND IT'S A LANDMARK AND RYE ARE THERE THINGS THAT.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WE CAN LOOK AT AND AND IF YOU CAN'T ANSWER TONIGHT THAT'S FINE I'M JUST PUTTING IT OUT THERE.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ARE THERE THINGS THAT WE CAN POINT TO IN THIS IDEA AND SAY.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IF YOU'RE NOT LIVING IN THE HOUSE WARM BUT YOU'RE IN THE ADJACENT AREA.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT OH, YOU KNOW THIS IS THIS IS BETTER, YOU KNOW WE WE SUPPORTED THIS, AND NOW THERE ARE THINGS THAT ARE BETTER, NOT JUST FOR THEM.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WITHIN THEIR CAMPUS BUT FOR ALL OF US IN THIS IMMEDIATE NEIGHBORHOOD AND AND AND THAT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM THE GREATER RELATIONSHIP, YOU HAVE WITH RIGHT I'M JUST TRYING TO NARROW IN FOR BECAUSE WE'VE.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: GOT SO MANY LETTERS.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO I'M JUST WONDERING IF.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I WANT TO ASK.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I WANT TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND YOUR QUESTION, TOO, BECAUSE I DON'T.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU MEAN IN TERMS OF AESTHETIC TO APPRECIATE, AS A COMMUNITY YOU DON'T MEAN LIKE PEOPLE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: LIKE ON THE OSBORNE'S PROPERTY RIGHT, I MEAN YOU DON'T LIKE YOU'RE NOT ASKING WHAT IS THE COMMUNITY GET IN TERMS OF.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WELL I'M I'M I I AM AND I'M NOT TO YOUR POINT JULIE AND I'M NOT TRYING TO I'M NOT TRYING TO LOAD THE QUESTION SO I'M NOT LOOKING FOR A SPECIFIC THING, BUT I MEAN THAT TALKED ABOUT.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT IDEAS OF THAT THAT LITTLE PARKLAND.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: RIGHT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND CUZ CUZ I'M CONFUSED BY THE QUESTION, SO I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ELSE'S BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: JUST CERTAINLY.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BECAUSE YOU STARTED WITH AND I GOT I WAS GETTING THIS THREAD AND THEN HE SAID SOMETHING ELSE THAT CONFUSED ME, SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: FIRST, LIKE PEOPLE LOOK OUT AND THEY SEE THIS SORT OF LIKE TYPOGRAPHY AND THIS LANDSCAPE WHICH I AGREE, AND SO, MAKING SURE THAT THAT IS.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: PRESERVED AND ENHANCED POTENTIALLY TOTALLY GET THAT IF WE DON'T THEN LOAD SWITCH TO THE PARKLAND IS, ARE YOU EXPECTING ARE YOU ASKING DOGS BORN TO THEN DEDICATE PART OF THEIR LAND TO PUBLIC USE AND THAT'S THE PART THAT THAT THEN CONFUSES ME.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: TWO DIFFERENT IDEAS.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YEAH ONE IS THE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ONE NOT AS MUCH.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OKAY, SO ONE IS THE AESTHETICS AND THAT'S JUST ONE QUESTION AND THEN THE SECOND QUESTION IS.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND THERE'S, THE ANSWER IS WHAT IT IS AGAIN IT'S NOT PRE LOADED HERE IS ARE THERE THINGS AND MAYBE THERE ARE MAYBE THERE AREN'T JUST THERE'S ALL THIS SETBACK THERE'S ALL THIS SCREEN SPACE.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ARE THERE THINGS THAT PEOPLE CAN APPRECIATE OR US OR NOT, AND MAYBE YOU DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER, MAYBE YOU HAVE MAYBE THAT'S TOO COMPLICATED FOR TODAY I OR OR TWO I DON'T MEAN TO CUT.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: MAYBE THERE ARE TOO MANY LAYERS TO FIGURING THAT OUT I'M JUST PUTTING IT OUT THERE.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AS ARE THERE THINGS THAT THAT PEOPLE CAN LOOK AT IT AND SAY.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I'M GLAD THEY DID THIS EITHER IT'S MORE BEAUTIFUL OR IT'S SOMEHOW MORE.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: INTEGRATED OR KNITTED INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IN A WAY THAT MAYBE IT WASN'T AS MUCH BEFORE OR MAYBE THE ANSWER IS, I DON'T KNOW JOSH I HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THAT OR THAT'S JUST FOR ANOTHER DAY, THIS IS THE QUESTION.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: STEVE RAY BUT, LIKE, I SAW YOU GESTURING AND AND YOU AND MATT CAN WORK OUT WHO ANSWERS.

MATT ANDERSON: GOOD YOU GO AHEAD STEVE I SAW YOU HAD YOUR HAND UP AND THEN I CAN ADD IF I THINK I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO SEND IT GOING.

STEVEN WRABEL: YEAH I APPRECIATE EVERYONE RECOGNIZING THE POLITE HAND RAISE, SO THANK YOU SO COUNCILMAN NATHAN, I THINK, TO ADDRESS ADDRESS SORT OF THE THE TWO PRONGS OF YOUR LAST QUESTION AS WE'VE HEARD THEM.

[01:35:01]

STEVEN WRABEL: LANDSCAPE AND REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE KEY TO THE CHARACTER OF THE OSBORNE'S CAMPUS NOW, WHICH WE KNOW IS VERY IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE WE'VE ALSO GOT THE SETBACKS AND WE'VE ALSO BAKED INTO OUR LEGISLATION, AND THIS IS GETTING TO THE SECOND POINT OF YOUR QUESTION.

STEVEN WRABEL: POTENTIAL IN THAT GREEN SPACE FOR WHAT WE CALL PASSIVE RECREATION USE, WHETHER IT BE GARDENING OR POSSIBLY A WALKING PATH, OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES, SO WE ARE NOT FOR CLOSING THAT IDEA.

STEVEN WRABEL: WHAT I WOULD SAY IS THAT THOSE KINDS OF QUESTIONS OUR SITE PLAN QUESTIONS IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE INTERESTED IN EXPLORING AS THE OSBORNE DEVELOPS ITS PLAN.

STEVEN WRABEL: BUT WE'RE GOING TO WANT TO TALK TO THE NEIGHBORS ABOUT IT, IF SOMETHING WERE TO BE PROPOSED.

STEVEN WRABEL: IT MAY BE THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD WOULD LOVE TO HAVE SOME FORM OF PUBLIC ACCESS, IT MAY BE THAT THEY DON'T WANT OTHERS FROM OUTSIDE THE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAYING ACROSS THE STREET FROM THEIR HOUSE.

STEVEN WRABEL: BUT ULTIMATELY WHAT GETS PROPOSED AND HOW ITS LAID OUT AND WHAT'S AGREED UPON, I THINK, IS MORE APPROPRIATE FOR A SITE PLAN LEVEL DISCUSSION, BUT TO YOUR POINT IT'S SOMETHING WE'VE CONSIDERED IT'S SOMETHING WE'RE OPEN TO AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE MADE SURE TO ADDRESS IN OUR LOCAL LAW.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND OKAY, I DO THANKS SO MUCH FOR FOR THAT AND I'LL LOOK AT THAT CLOSELY I'M NOT SURE IN BUT AGAIN I'M NOT AN EXPERT IN THIS FIELD I'M NOT SURE THAT.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: PUBLIC ACCESS ISN'T ALSO IS ONLY CONSIDERATION, BUT AGAIN I'M NOT I'M JUST GOING TO PUT A PIN IN THAT AND I'M HAPPY FOR YOU TO EDUCATE ME WHILE I FIND BECAUSE AGAIN I'M IT'S NOT A FIELD, I DON'T.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: HAVE ANY EXPERTISE IN AND I'M JUST RAISING THESE MATT AND I HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS, SO YOU KNOW, NONE OF THESE I HOPE ARE TAKEN AS IT ANY KIND OF SURPRISED JUST ASKING THE QUESTIONS.

MATT ANDERSON: YEAH AND JOSH JUST KIND OF GOING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY.

MATT ANDERSON: YOU KNOW CLUBHOUSE YOU KNOW THAT THAT IS A SPACE, I DEFINITELY SEE BEING A SPACE THAT THE COMMUNITY CAN GO AHEAD AND USE, WITHOUT A DOUBT, I MEAN WE DID THAT IN THE PAST WITH OUR WITH OUR AUDITORIUM.

MATT ANDERSON: AGAIN WITH KOBE AND EVERYTHING WE'VE HAD TO GO AWAY FROM THAT SAME WITH OUR DINING ROOMS, I MEAN WE.

MATT ANDERSON: UNFORTUNATELY, WE WE WANTED TO TRY TO GO AHEAD AND HOST THE THE LIONS DINNER, WHICH WE HELD HERE FOR YEARS WITH A SPORTS BUT.

MATT ANDERSON: JUST COULDN'T DO IT RIGHT NOW WITH WITH CODE WHERE IT'S AT SO THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE WANT TO DO AND GET BACK TOGETHER WITH THE COMMUNITY AND START DOING ON CAMPUS AND IT'S STUFF THAT WE JUST.

MATT ANDERSON: AS MY RESIDENCE CALL IT'S THE BUBBLE RIGHT WE PUT A BUBBLE AROUND THIS PLACE FOR SO LONG NOW AND.

MATT ANDERSON: WE'RE TRYING TO TAKE THAT THAT BUBBLE UNFORTUNATELY COVEN IS KIND OF COME BACK WITH A LITTLE BIT OF A RESURGENCE LATELY.

MATT ANDERSON: BUT WE'RE STILL TRYING TO DO A LOT OF THINGS, BUT THAT'S THAT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT I COULD SEE HAPPENING HERE, YOU KNOW WE WE HAVE THE ARBORETUM TO.

MATT ANDERSON: THOSE WE DO DIFFERENT TREE WALKS AND I KNOW THAT THE.

MATT ANDERSON: RAFFLE SENIOR CLUBS ARE ACTUALLY COMING UP HERE TO DO A WHOLE WALK WITH OUR RESIDENTS HERE IN THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS THAT STUFF WE DID DURING A LITTLE BIT AND WE'RE DOING NOW AGAIN.

MATT ANDERSON: AS WE'RE ABLE TO DO THINGS WITHOUT RESIDENCE, SO I SEE I SEE ALL THOSE THINGS OCCURRING AGAIN AS WE MOVE FORWARD AND AND SAME WITH THE SCHOOL WE'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF THINGS WITH THE SCHOOL RECENTLY AND THOSE INTERGENERATIONAL PROGRAMS. MATT ANDERSON: THEY'RE AMAZING BOTH FOR OUR RESIDENTS AND THEN THEN ALSO FOR THE THE KIDS GROWING UP SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT TOO.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I APPRECIATE THAT MATT AND.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND I DO APPRECIATE THAT FOR FOR TWO YEARS, ALL RELATIONSHIPS WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY HAVE BEEN TERRIBLY STRANGE AND BIZARRE AND.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW, FOR THOSE OF US WHO'VE LIVED HERE 20 YEARS.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WE KNOW THE INTERACTIONS WITH THE OSBORNE CAN BE VERY RICH AND AND ENJOYABLE AND FOR THOSE OF US WHO MAYBE HAVE BEEN HERE FIVE YEARS AND THE LAST TWO PLUS HAVE BEEN SORT OF CAUGHT UP IN THIS WEIRD THING.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OR THIS NEW THING, THAT IS, YOU KNOW IT'S DIFFERENT BUT I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING I LOVE THE ARBORETUM.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND I THINK IT'S SUCH A GREAT AND GLORIOUS FEATURE OF THE CAMPUS AND I'M GLAD WE HAVE IT, AND I LOVE THAT THAT'S SOMETHING YOU'RE COMMITTED TO YOU KNOW, MAINTAINING THAT STATUS AND I'LL DROP.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: FURTHER ON THIS I'M YOU KNOW I THINK WE'VE WE'VE WE'VE DONE WE'VE COVERED IT FOR NOW AND I'LL STEVE WILL EDUCATE ME AT ANOTHER TIME ABOUT ZONING AND PLANNING.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I DO HAVE ONE OTHER QUESTION IT'S MORE TECHNICAL MR MAYOR.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IF I MAY.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: HE IS JUST LET ME I THOUGHT I SAW BEN GESTURE, BUT.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OH YEAH.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I'M THINKING WAIT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: OK.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO THE THE TECHNICAL QUESTION AND IT'S REALLY.

[01:40:05]

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND I KNOW FROM A PROCEDURAL POINT.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WHEN WE'VE HAD MINOR ADJUSTMENTS, WE JUST.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW, KEEP GOING WITH OUR PROCESS, BUT WHEN THERE ARE MAJOR ADJUSTMENTS THAT IMPACTS, THE PROCESS I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S SOMETHING KRISTEN CAN SPEAK TO ARM BUT SOMEONE WILL ASK THAT, AND SO WE MAY AS WELL NOW.

KRISTEN WILSON: SURE, IF WHAT MATT ANDERSON HAS OUTLINED IS SOMETHING THAT THE COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO SEE TO BE MADE PART OF THE LOCAL LAW.

KRISTEN WILSON: I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT THE COUNCIL KEEP THIS PUBLIC HEARING OPEN UNTIL JUNE 15 SO THAT THE PUBLIC HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THE REVISED LAW.

KRISTEN WILSON: AND OUT AS STEVE TO SUBMIT ANY OF THOSE REVISIONS TO THE CITY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, AND YOU POST THAT ONLINE, BUT THAT THE PUBLIC HEARING, BECAUSE THESE ARE SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES THE PUBLIC HEARING WILL HAVE TO STAY OPEN.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: GOT IT THANKS FOR THE CLARIFICATION.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AND I THINK IT IS OUR INTENTION TO KEEP THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN UNLESS SOMEONE ON THE COUNCIL IS GOING TO SURPRISE ME WITH A VIEW THAT I HAVEN'T HEARD PREVIOUSLY.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: NOT I, BUT IF I COULD JUST FOLLOW ON ON THAT POINT VISA V, THE CHANGES THAT WERE OFFERED TONIGHT, I MEAN COULD WE SEE AN UPDATED.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: MAP AS WELL, I MEAN I DON'T KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO KNOW LIKE I'M NOT EASY TO CREATE THE KIND OF THE GRAPH SITE PLAN CONCEPT BUT ANYWAY, IF THERE'S SOME WAY TO REFLECT.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE CHANGES THAT WERE OFFERED IN THE MATERIALS THAT WE'VE SEEN SO WE CAN THERE'S SOME VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF THOSE POTENTIAL CHANGES SO.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT POSSIBLE SO BUT THAT WASN'T MY QUESTION, MY QUESTION WAS REALLY I KNOW THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: COMMENTARY FROM THE PUBLIC ABOUT YOU KNOW, A 10 YEAR AND A 10 YEAR CONSTRUCTION PROJECT AND THE EFFECTS THAT THAT WOULD HAVE HAVE ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE SCHOOL AND EVERYTHING, BUT MAYBE YOU CAN JUST SPECIFICALLY MORE ADDRESS OR ADDRESS IN A IN A MORE SPECIFIC MANNER THE POTENTIAL CONSTRUCTION PROCESS AND HOW THAT WOULD IMPACT THE SURROUNDING AREA.

MATT ANDERSON: TOUR SO AS I UNDERSTAND IT, EVERYTHING HAS TO GO THROUGH THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND WHEN WE GO THROUGH THE PLANNING COMMISSION IT WOULD BE PHASED.

MATT ANDERSON: SO EACH SITE WOULD HAVE TO COME IN, THEY TALK ABOUT YOU KNOW, CONSTRUCTION AND I UNDERSTAND IT'S ABOUT VEHICLES WE GET INTO ANYTHING WITH ROCK REMOVAL AND EVERYTHING ELSE WE'D HAVE TO FOLLOW ALL.

MATT ANDERSON: THE DIFFERENT LAWS ON THAT OBVIOUSLY THE HEIGHTS OF OUR BUILDING AND WITH OUR WITH INTENTION, BECAUSE YOU KNOW WE'RE LOOKING AT IF YOU DID DO A BUILDING, YOU WOULD HAVE THE PARKING ON THE GROUND FOR THE HOPEFULLY NOT TO GO INTO THE GROUND TOO MUCH.

MATT ANDERSON: BUT NOISE IS A FACTOR OF OUR OWN RESIDENCE HERE.

MATT ANDERSON: AND AGAIN.

MATT ANDERSON: THEY'VE TALKED ABOUT IT HERE ON CAMPUS AND THEY'D BE VERY CLOSE TO A TOOL SO.

MATT ANDERSON: DIFFERENT FROM A SITE THAT YOU'RE JUST DOING LIKE THE ST REGIS WHERE YOU'RE KNOCKING DOWN AND BUILDING A BUILDING AND NOBODY'S LIVING THERE.

MATT ANDERSON: YOU KNOW, WE HAVE 400 PEOPLE THAT LIVE HERE, SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MANAGE NOT ONLY TO THE RIGHT COMMUNITY BUT ALSO TO.

MATT ANDERSON: OUR OWN RESIDENTS HERE ON CAMPUS BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT GOING TO WANT TO LIVE THROUGH THAT THAT EITHER FOR THE MOST PART, SO AGAIN, IT WOULD ALL BE HANDLED AT THE SITE PLANNING PHASE, BUT.

MATT ANDERSON: I WOULD ANTICIPATE GOING THROUGH A FIRST PHASE, AND THEN YOU KNOW YOU COULD SEE YEARS DOWN THE ROAD AFTER THAT'S THAT'S FILLED OUT.

MATT ANDERSON: THEN GOING THROUGH POTENTIALLY ANOTHER PHASE, IF WE FEEL THAT THE MARKETING EVERYTHING'S THERE TO CONTINUE ON WITH THAT EXTRA USE, BUT EACH WOULD BE A SEPARATE PIECE AND KIND OF MOVING THROUGH.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO, NOT A CONTINUOUS CONSTRUCTION SITE FOR 10 YEARS OR WHAT HAVE YOU, I THINK.

MATT ANDERSON: I THINK MY RESIDENCE WOULD KILL ME IF THAT HAPPENED I'M JUST I'M JUST PUTTING THAT OUT THERE, SO I DON'T ENVISION THAT.

MATT ANDERSON: YOU KNOW SO BUT, AGAIN, I THINK THAT WOULD ALL BE PERCEIVED ON MARKET AND EVERYTHING DOWN THE LINE, BUT I DO KNOW THAT RISE BEEN THROUGH A LOT OF CONSTRUCTION AND EVERYTHING WOULD BE VERY MINDFUL OF THAT GOING FORWARD, NOT ONLY FOR THE COMMUNITY BUT ALSO ALSO FOR OUR RESIDENTS HERE.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OKAY, THANK YOU.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: IT TO ADD TO BEN'S ASKED FOR A REVISED MAP OR PICTURE IN THE MATERIALS WE'VE HAD BEFORE THERE WAS A VERY NICE MATRIX OF.

[01:45:08]

ANDREW TUNG: WE CAN CERTAINLY DO THAT IN THERE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: JOSH.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: UM WHAT ONE ONE THING THAT YOU MENTIONED, AND IF THEY HEARD ABOUT IT SOMEWHERE THIS MS THING I CAN ANYONE JUST ARTICULATED A LITTLE BIT MORE WHAT THAT MIGHT BE, OR WHAT WE SHOULD BE THINKING THAT SOUNDED REALLY INTERESTING BUT I'M NOT SURE.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT IS.

STEVEN WRABEL: YEAH I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'VE LANDED ON EXACTLY WHAT IT IS EITHER THE ORIGINAL THOUGHT WAS THAT HE WAS LOOKING FOR SOME SPACE AND THE OSBORNE HAD OFFERED SOME.

STEVEN WRABEL: AMBULANCE SPACE AS WELL, SOME OFFICE SPACE AND STAGING AREA FREE OF CHARGE, BUT, AS WE UNDERSTAND IT FROM SCOTTY MS THEY FOUND AN ALTERNATE LOCATION.

STEVEN WRABEL: BUT WE DO WANT TO DO SOMETHING ELSE WITH HIM AS WE RECOGNIZE HOW IMPORTANT THEY ARE TO BE OSBORNE AND SO WE'RE STILL WORKING THROUGH THAT WITH STAFF BUT WE'RE HOPING TO HAVE MORE DETAILS AS AS WE GO FORWARD.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YEAH JUST AS A FORMER EM AS LIAISON, I CAN TELL YOU THAT THEY WANTED TO BE YOU KNOW IT WOULD BE MAKE A GREAT STAGING AREA TO HAVE FIRE, I MEAN QUICKER RESPONSE TO ALL RIGHT.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WHAT'S THE NEW AREA THAT THEY HAVE IS IT IN RIGHT OR IS IT.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: YEAH SO SO JOSH THIS WE ACTUALLY IN THE OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST YEAR WE'RE WORKING WITH SCOTT AND ANTONIA NOW THE NEW ADMINISTRATOR CAN BE MARTIN AND WE'VE ACTUALLY MADE SPACE FOR THEM AT THE MILTON FIREHOUSE.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: AS THE ALTERNATIVE LOCATION THEY'VE NOT YET MOVED A RIG THERE, BUT WE ANTICIPATE THAT'S GOING TO BE THE CASE, BUT.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: THAT MATCH RIGHT THEY HAD THEY HAD OFFERED PREVIOUSLY TO CREATE SPACE AT THE OSBORNE AND CERTAINLY HAVE BEEN VERY COLLABORATIVE AND WORKING WITH THE MS BOTH IN THE LAST COUPLE YEARS BUT YOU KNOW HISTORICAL.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: GREAT THANKS THANKS FOR CLARIFYING FOR ME.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THEIR THEIR QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: OKAY I'D LIKE TO OPEN THINGS UP TO THE PUBLIC.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AS AS USUAL ASKING THE PUBLIC TO ADHERE TO OUR THREE MINUTE CONVENTION, AND I SUSPECT WE HAVE A LOT OF SPEAKERS, SO IF PEOPLE FEEL THAT THEY NEED MORE THAN THE THREE MINUTES, PLEASE WAIT TO GO AROUND AGAIN, THAT IS, UNTIL ALL NEWER SPEAKERS HAVE USED THEIR THREE MINUTES.

KRISTEN WILSON: AND AUSTRALIA, WE HAVE A DOZEN HANDS RAISED FIRST PERSON IS KATIE SIMPSON.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WELCOME KATIE.

KATIE W SIBSON: HI HOW'S EVERYONE, THANK YOU, I KNOW WE FIRST MET ACTUALLY A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO, WHEN WE FIRST MOVED TO RYAN, AND I SPOKE UP ON THIS CALL LIVING HERE WITH MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN.

KATIE W SIBSON: WE LIVE ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE OSBORNE AND MY DAUGHTER LILY ACTUALLY LOOKS OUT AT THE OSBORNE EACH MORNING WHEN SHE WAKES UP.

KATIE W SIBSON: SINCE THEN, SOME THINGS HAVE CHANGED WE'VE HAD ANOTHER DAUGHTER ALICE WHOSE ROOM ALSO LOOKS OUT AT THE SKYLINE OSBORNE HAS SHARED THEIR HYPOTHETICAL PLANS.

KATIE W SIBSON: AND THE MOVEMENT HAS EVOLVED FROM WHAT I WOULD SAY, WAS ABOUT 100 NEIGHBORS TO LARGE PARTS OF THE RIGHT COMMUNITY THAT HAVE SPOKEN OUT AGAINST THIS DEVELOPMENT.

KATIE W SIBSON: AND SO, WITH THAT, I JUST WANTED TO BRING UP TWO POINTS WITH THE COUNCIL TODAY, ONE IS A PROFESSIONAL PERSPECTIVE AND THE OTHER IS MORE PERSONAL IN NATURE.

KATIE W SIBSON: I WOULD SAY, FROM A PROFESSIONAL PERSPECTIVE I HAVE DONE PROFESSIONAL CONSULTING WITH THE NUMBER OF RESOURCES TO FIGURE OUT THE FINANCIAL HEALTH OF THE OSBORNE.

KATIE W SIBSON: AS YOU ALL KNOW, THE FITCH FITCH HAS RATED THE COMPANY AND A MINUS BASED ON THE DEBT OF THE OF THE OSBORNE AND SO THAT'S JUST ONE INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE.

KATIE W SIBSON: AND SECOND I'VE SPOKE WITH AN INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT PROFESSIONAL THAT COVERS CCR SEES WHICH ARE COMMUNITY CARE RETIREMENT CENTERS.

KATIE W SIBSON: AND THEY REVIEWED THE FINANCIALS OF THE OSBORNE AND SAW ABSOLUTELY NO CONCERNS WITH THE FINANCIAL LIABILITY OF THE OSBORNE ON AN ONGOING BASIS, NOR DO THEY HAVE FUTURE CONCERNS BASED ON OCCUPANCY.

KATIE W SIBSON: AND THE MIX OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF HOUSING ON SITE ABOUT THE OSBORNE BEING COMPETITIVE IN THE FUTURE, AND SO THAT'S SOMETHING I JUST WANTED TO SHARE AFTER TALKING WITH INDEPENDENT STUDIES.

[01:50:06]

KATIE W SIBSON: THIS HAS DEFINITELY BEEN WHAT I WOULD CALL A SLIGHT DISTRACTION, YOU KNOW, IN THE HOSPITAL, I WAS REPLYING TO LEGAL EMAILS IN MY HOSPITAL MATERNITY BED.

KATIE W SIBSON: I'VE BEEN TALKING TO PAPERS, AS I FED HER AND I'VE HAD OBVIOUSLY ONGOING CONVERSATIONS WITH PEOPLE ON THIS, BUT WHAT SADDENS ME THE MOST.

KATIE W SIBSON: THOSE THOUGH THE PRIOR THINGS REMINDER IF THE COUNCIL VOTES, YES, THIS DISTRACTION WILL FOLLOW ALICE ALL THE WAY TO FOURTH GRADE.

KATIE W SIBSON: WHEN HER SISTER LILLIAN HIGH SCHOOL AS THEY BOTH WILL BE ATTENDING OSBORNE SCHOOL AND IT'S NOT ABOUT MY TWO TWO DAUGHTERS AND MY SON, BUT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF STUDENTS WHO WILL PASS THROUGH I WAS WEARING ELEMENTARY WHO WILL BE DISTRACTED BY THIS CONSTRUCTION.

KATIE W SIBSON: JUST GIVEN THE MAGNITUDE AND THE SIZE AND THE REQUEST FOR THIS INCREASE SQUARE FOOTAGE.

KATIE W SIBSON: THERE'S NO WAY THAT, REGARDLESS OF HOW THIS PLANNING PROCESS GOES WITH ALL MITIGATION PUT IN PLACE THERE'S GOING TO BE A DISRUPTION AND A DISTRACTION, TO THE STUDENTS.

KATIE W SIBSON: THAT IS AVOIDABLE IF THEY STICK TO THE LIMITS THAT ARE ARE GRANTED TO THEM AND SO THEY'RE ASKING FOR SPECIAL PERMISSION SPECIAL APPROVAL IN THIS CASE.

KATIE W SIBSON: AND IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT'S AUTOMATIC, AS WE ALL KNOW, BUT I DO THINK THERE'S A LARGE BODY OF PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY, THAT ARE VERY MUCH AGAINST THIS AND VERY CONCERNED FOR OUR STUDENTS IN THE SCHOOL, DESPITE THE CONCESSIONS THAT THE OSBORNE HAS MADE TO DATE, THANK YOU.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THANK YOU.

KRISTEN WILSON: CLIFF DAVIS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WELCOME CLIFF.

CLIFFORD DAVIS: GOOD EVENING MEMBERS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL, MY NAME IS CLIFFORD DAVIS I'M AN ATTORNEY I REPRESENT 17 FAMILIES IF I NAME ALL THEIR NAMES ALL MY THREE MINUTES WILL BE UP.

CLIFFORD DAVIS: I SUBMITTED A LETTER ON APRIL 4 2022 LISTING ALL THE NAMES UM THERE'S AN ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM THAT I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYBODY MENTIONED.

CLIFFORD DAVIS: AT IT WHEN YOU ANALYZE A ZONE CHANGE BY A MUNICIPALITY, AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT A ZONE CHANGE, IT IS THE GOAL.

CLIFFORD DAVIS: OF A MUNICIPALITY YOU JUST DON'T GIVE IT AWAY YOU STUDY IT, YOU KNOW, LOOK AT IT AND YOU SAY WHAT IS NOT GOOD FOR THE APP WHAT IS GOOD FOR THE CITY OF RIGHT AND ITS RESIDENTS IN THE KEY LANGUAGE IS IS IT CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE MASTER PLAN.

CLIFFORD DAVIS: AND I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYBODY MENTIONED THAT THE COMPREHENSIVE MASTER PLAN AND RYAN'S 37 YEARS OLD IT'S OUTDATED THE CITY OF RON.

CLIFFORD DAVIS: HAS TO BE PROACTIVE AND NOT REACTIVE ALL THAT I'VE HEARD FROM THE COUNCIL PERSONS IS THEY'RE QUESTIONING MR ANDERSON MR RAY BELT OR MR TONGUE.

CLIFFORD DAVIS: THE CITY SHOULD BE DOING ITS OWN ANALYSIS AS TO WHAT IS GOOD FOR THE CITY.

CLIFFORD DAVIS: WHAT WILL BE THE IMPACT OF THIS PROJECT ON OTHER CORPORATIONS WHAT'S GOING TO COME DOWN THE LINE WHEN ANOTHER BUSINESS SAYS WE'RE OUTDATED, WE HAVE TO BE COMPETITIVE, WHO IS STUDYING THAT I HAVEN'T HEARD ANY OF THAT SO CITY HAS TO ENGAGE IN ITS OWN ANALYSIS NUMBER ONE.

CLIFFORD DAVIS: THE OSBORNE HAS BEEN AROUND FOR 114 YEARS LET'S NOT RUSH THIS PROJECT I'M NOT SAYING IT'S GOING TO TAKE ANOTHER HUNDRED 14 YEARS BUT LET THE CITY.

CLIFFORD DAVIS: ANALYZE IT LET THIS BE PURSUANT TO SECRET SAY TO THE OSBORNE YOU HAVE TO GIVE US X NUMBER OF DOLLARS AND WE'RE GOING TO HIRE OUR OWN EXPERTS AND WE'RE GOING TO STUDY IT AND WE'RE GOING TO STUDY IT SLOWLY AND WE'RE GOING TO ANALYZE IT BECAUSE THAT'S BEEN DONE HERE.

CLIFFORD DAVIS: AFTER BY ON MR ANDERSON TELLING YOU WHAT HE'S GOING TO DO NOW FURTHER.

CLIFFORD DAVIS: THERE NEEDS TO BE A 3D MODEL.

CLIFFORD DAVIS: THERE NEEDS TO BE A 3D MODEL OF THE MAXIMUM BUILD OUT NOW THEY KEEP ON SAYING OH DON'T WORRY YOU GO TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION YOU GO TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY'RE ASKING YOU TO BE THE PLANNING COMMISSION TONIGHT.

CLIFFORD DAVIS: BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT ZONING THE ZONING IS IS THE BIG PICTURE, AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE THAT'S WHERE YOU NEED THE COMMUNITY TO COME IN.

CLIFFORD DAVIS: WHY IS THIS GOOD AND WHAT WOULD BE THE IMPACT ON EVERYBODY ELSE MY HANGOUT BUT I CAN'T EMPHASIZE THAT ENOUGH THE COMPREHENSIVE MASTER PLAN HAS TO BE LOOKED AT IN THIS, HE HAS TO LOOK AT IT IN AN OVERVIEW FOR THIS CITY'S BENEFIT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[01:55:08]

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: EMILY.

EMILY POWERS: HELLO THANKS FOR HAVING ME.

EMILY POWERS: FIRST, JUST WANT TO THANK THE CITY COUNCIL FOR LISTENING I THINK IT'S BEEN AT LEAST TWO YEARS NOW AND AS A COMMUNITY DEMANDED CLARIFICATION FROM THE OSBORNE REGARDING IT'S PLANS.

EMILY POWERS: RATHER THAN GIVING THE OSBORNE A BLANK CHECK FOR WHAT IS NEARLY A 50% INCREASE IN FA IR WHICH I THINK IS WHAT THE OSBORNE HAS BEEN REFERRING TO AS QUOTE ADDITIONAL FLEXIBILITY.

EMILY POWERS: OUR CITY COUNCIL HAS REQUIRED THAT MORE INFORMATION BE BROUGHT FORWARD TO THE DISCUSSION BEYOND THE HYPOTHETICAL.

EMILY POWERS: I MEAN THAT THIS IS REALLY WHAT IT COMES DOWN TO RIGHT OSBORNE HAS MAXED OUT ON THEIR ABILITY TO DEVELOP AND THEY WANT TO SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE DEVELOPMENT.

EMILY POWERS: THE COMMUNITY ASKED FOR SCALE BACK PLANS, TWO YEARS AGO, AND WE WERE ONLY VERY RECENTLY PRESENTED WITH A PLAN THAT SHOWED DEMOLITION OF ALL THESE LOWER PROFILE CONDOS AND CONSTRUCTION OF HIGH RISE BUILDINGS, WHICH I THINK NOW IS BEING PROPOSED AT DOUBLE AS OPPOSED TO EVEN HIGHER.

EMILY POWERS: THEIR CURRENT PROFILE IN THAT IS MAXIMIZING THE SQUARE FOOTAGE FOR THE OSBORNE, BUT IT ALSO HAPPENS TO BE IN THE MOST VISIBLE AND SENSITIVE AREAS, INCLUDING CLOSEST TO THE OSBORN SCHOOL.

EMILY POWERS: I BELIEVE THIS WOULD BE NEGATIVE, CHANGE THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND IT SHOWS.

EMILY POWERS: THAT NONE OF THE COMMUNITY COMMUNITY CONCERNS WERE SERIOUSLY TAKEN IN CONSIDERATION BY THE OSBORNE I THINK THERE'S A FEW THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT FORWARD TODAY THAT, IN MY VIEW, OR A LITTLE BIT OF TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE.

EMILY POWERS: I WAS RECENTLY IN MY DAUGHTER'S CLASSROOM FOR PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES THAT I WAS BORN IN HER CLASSROOM WAS LITERALLY IN THE BACK CORNER OVERLOOKING THESE BUILDINGS AND YOU REALLY GET A SENSE FOR HOW CLOSE IT IS AND, FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND FROM THE ILLUSTRATIVE SITE DIAGRAM.

EMILY POWERS: THERE'S NOT A MATERIAL INCREASE IN SET BACK FROM WHERE IT IS TODAY.

EMILY POWERS: BUT PERHAPS I NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT A LITTLE BIT BETTER.

EMILY POWERS: SO YOU KNOW I ASKED OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS CONTINUE TO PREVENT THE DRAMATIC INCREASE IN COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AT THE CENTER OF WHAT IS A VERY BEAUTIFUL NEIGHBORHOOD AND SCHOOL SYSTEM.

EMILY POWERS: AND WITHOUT ADEQUATE CONSIDERING HOW ONE SIDED, THIS PROPOSAL IS SO I'M PART OF THE GROUP OF CITIZENS AS COMMUNITY THAT STRONGLY OBJECT TO WHAT IS STILL VERY MATERIAL AND UNNECESSARY CHANGE, THANK YOU.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THANK YOU.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: I HAVEN'T BEEN REMINDING PEOPLE TO PROVIDE THEIR ADDRESSES AND I'D APPRECIATE IT IF PEOPLE WHO WISH TO SPEAK WITH DO SO.

KRISTEN WILSON: THOSE ARE THE CAN DO.

ROSALIE CANDIDO LOUW: HI THIS IS ROSALIE LOW I LIVE AT 45 I WAS BORN ROAD.

ROSALIE CANDIDO LOUW: SO I'VE ALSO BEEN PART OF THE COMMUNITY, THAT IS, BEEN ENGAGED AND INVOLVED IN THIS.

ROSALIE CANDIDO LOUW: PROPOSAL FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW, AND YOU KNOW WE UNDERSTAND.

ROSALIE CANDIDO LOUW: THAT IT IS YOU KNOW REQUIRED AND NECESSARY FOR ORGANIZATIONS TO EVOLVE AND MAKE ADJUSTMENTS AS.

ROSALIE CANDIDO LOUW: AS AS NEEDED OVER TIME, IN ORDER TO REMAIN SUCCESSFUL, AND WE CERTAINLY WANT THE OSBORNE TO BE SUCCESSFUL.

ROSALIE CANDIDO LOUW: I JUST REALLY CONTINUE TO QUESTION IF WHAT'S BEING ASKED FOR IS THE MAXIMUM OF WHAT DR OSBORN NEEDS VERSUS WHAT THEY WANT IT FEELS LIKE THIS IS.

ROSALIE CANDIDO LOUW: YOU KNOW THE THAT THE ASK SHOULD BE THE MINIMUM BASELINE FOR THE FLEXIBILITY THAT THEY NEED AND NOT.

ROSALIE CANDIDO LOUW: JUST LIKE A MAXIMUM BLANK CHECK TO GROW AND NEVER HAVE TO COME BACK TO THE ZONING EVER.

ROSALIE CANDIDO LOUW: I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A PROCESS, AND THAT THIS STAGE IS MEANT TO DEFINE THE YOU KNOW BLACKBOARD IF YOU WILL.

ROSALIE CANDIDO LOUW: THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THE OSBORNE CAN THEN WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY TO YOU KNOW BUILD OUT THIS ACTUAL SITE PLAN, BUT TO THAT POINT, I THINK THAT THE BLACKBOARD THAT'S BEING ASKED FOR, IS JUST ENTIRELY TOO LARGE, I APPRECIATE THAT BAD WORD HAS COME BACK TONIGHT AND.

ROSALIE CANDIDO LOUW: MADE SOME SMALL CONCESSIONS, BUT YOU KNOW THERE'S STILL 5555 ACRES AND MUCH OF THAT PARTICULARLY THE COTTAGE AREA AND THE ATTIC AREA AROUND THE SCHOOL.

[02:00:04]

ROSALIE CANDIDO LOUW: THE CONSISTENT POINT FOR TWO OR POINT 434 THAT WHOLE 55 ACRES MAYBE THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE AN ADJUSTMENT THAT SAYS THAT THEY CAN BE ON THE WEST MED SIDE, BUT NOT ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD SIDE OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT AND IT FEELS LIKE THOSE THOSE CONVERSATIONS HAVEN'T HAPPENED.

ROSALIE CANDIDO LOUW: SO YOU KNOW I AGAIN, I THINK THE COUNCIL FOR ALL THE TIME AND THE OSBORNE FOR THE PROPOSAL I JUST IT FEELS LIKE THIS IS STILL MUCH, MUCH TOO MUCH THANK YOU.

KRISTEN WILSON: NICHOLAS WOW.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WELL HI.

NICHOLAS LOUW: MY NAME IS NICHOLAS SLOW THAT WAS JUST MY WIFE YOU PERFORM I WANTED TO JUST THANK THE COUNCIL.

NICHOLAS LOUW: AND TO MATT AND STEPHEN THANK YOU VERY MUCH AGAIN FOR YOUR TIME WE'VE SPOKEN TO YOU MANY TIMES AND INTERACTIVE MANY TIMES AND I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN A TIME CONSUMING PROCESS FOR YOU.

NICHOLAS LOUW: I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THE RISK.

NICHOLAS LOUW: YOU KNOW THAT THE COUNCIL WISHES TO AVOID IS THE THREAT OF UNSCRUPULOUS DEVELOPMENT.

NICHOLAS LOUW: THIS IS THE FEAR THAT'S BEING PREYED ON HERE THAT, IF THE OSBORN DOES NOT EVOLVE, THAT WE WILL THEN BE FACED WITH A ANOTHER WESTMAN.

NICHOLAS LOUW: AND I UNDERSTAND THAT TO SURVIVE SOMEONE ADJUSTMENTS ARE NEEDED.

NICHOLAS LOUW: I ALSO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND AND FOR EVERYONE ON THIS CALL TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE ADJUSTMENTS THAT ARE BEING ASKED HERE.

NICHOLAS LOUW: REPRESENT A MAXIMUM AND NOT A MINIMUM THE GAP BETWEEN WHAT THE OSBORNE ONCE TODAY FOR THE NEXT 510 1530 YEARS VERSUS WHAT THEY NEED TO SURVIVE OVER THAT HORIZON SHOULD BE FULLY UNDERSTOOD BY THE CONSOLE BEFORE THEY TAKE A VOTE.

NICHOLAS LOUW: AS I BELIEVE THAT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THE US WILL SURVIVE, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISPUTE ABOUT THAT.

NICHOLAS LOUW: BUT THE INNER NEIGHBORHOODS IMPORTANCE CANNOT BE PARAMOUNT AND TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER THE OUTER NEIGHBORHOODS IMPORTANCE, THANK YOU.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: NICHOLAS, WHAT IS YOUR ADDRESS, PLEASE.

NICHOLAS LOUW: 45 HOURS ONE WAY.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THANK YOU.

KRISTEN WILSON: COLD.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: COLD COLD COULD YOU PROVIDE US WITH YOUR FULL NAME AND ADDRESS.

COLE: ABSOLUTELY HELLO MOM COMA K 10 HERITAGE LANE RIGHT NEW YORK.

COLE: AND COLE: WE KEEP HEARING.

COLE: THAT THE OSBORNE NEEDS TO INVEST TO BE COMPETITIVE AND I'M NOT SURE HOW THEY DEFINING BEING COMPETITIVE.

COLE: OR WHAT PRODUCTS OR SERVICES ARE REQUIRED TO BECOME COMPETITIVE IN THE NEXT DECADE OR SO AND MAINTAIN A COMPETITIVE BE.

COLE: PUT YOUR THAT WORK BUT I'M GOING TO MOVE ON.

COLE: DO THEY HAVE A WAIT LIST TO GET HIM TO THE OSBORNE OR ARE THEY SITTING ON EMPTY ROOMS ARE THEY PROFITABLE OR ARE THEY LOSING MONEY CAN THEY NOT PROVIDE GOOD PRODUCTS AND SERVICES IN THEIR EXISTING FACILITIES.

COLE: AND COLE: GROWING BY I BELIEVE IT'S SOMETHING LIKE 95,000 SQUARE FEET THAT'S ALLOWABLE UNDER THE CURRENT SO MANY WITHOUT A ZONING VARIANCE OR REZONING.

COLE: SO MY SENSE, AS YOU CAN PROBABLY TELL US IT'S NOT REALLY ABOUT COMPETITIVE I THINK THERE'LL BE PLENTY COMPETITIVE AND I'M SURE THAT THEY CAN PASS ALONG.

COLE: THE COSTS OF INCREASED SERVICES AND TO THEIR RESIDENTS, I THINK IT'S ABOUT GROWTH, GROWTH IN SPACE AND GROWTH IN PROFITS AND I THINK THE GROWTH COMES AT THE EXPENSE OF THE COMMUNITY.

COLE: I'D LOVE TO KNOW HOW MANY RESIDENTS WHO I BELIEVE MATT SAID HE'S GOT 400 NOW HOW MANY HE PLANS TO HAVE, AT THE END OF.

COLE: PUTTING IN THIS BEHEMOTH.

COLE: AND COLE: I THINK THE ARGUMENT, LIKE THE SPEAKER BEFORE ME, THE PERSON CALLING IN THAT IF THEY DON'T DEVELOP IT SOMEBODY WILL I DON'T FIND THAT TERRIBLY COMFORTING.

COLE: WHAT I WOULD FIND COMFORTING IS IF THE CITY COUNCIL.

[02:05:02]

COLE: WE HAVE ZONING WE HAVE IT FOR A REASON WE HAVE ROLES AND.

COLE: WE INTEND TO HOLD YOU TO THEM WHEN TOLD INTEND TO.

COLE: ENFORCE OUR ZONING, WHICH IS WHY WE PUT IT THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE THAT WOULD BE COMFORTING AND.

COLE: IF YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND SELL THE LAND FINE WE'LL HOLD THE WILL HOLD THE BUYER TO THE ZONING AS WELL UM I DON'T SEE.

COLE: WHY IT'S IT FEELS LIKE THIS BEING TREATED AS A RUBBER STAMP AND I DON'T THINK THAT IT SHOULD BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED THAT THIS GROWTH DOES COME AT A COST OF THE COMMUNITY.

COLE: AND, WITH EIGHT SECONDS TO GO I'M GOOD, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THANK YOU.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: MR MAYOR, IF I COULD JUST FOLLOW UP ON CALLS QUESTIONS.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WELL, FIRST OF ALL I DON'T THINK WE'RE RUBBER STAMPING ANYTHING, THIS PROCESS HAS BEEN GOING FOR THREE AND A HALF YEARS, SO I WOULDN'T CALL IT ANYTHING RUBBER STAMPING AND WE'RE CONTINUING THE PUBLIC HEARING.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ALSO IN THE EYE TO DISTRICT KRISTEN WHAT WOULD BE ALLOWABLE TO BUILD IF SAY THE OSBORNE DECIDED TO SELL A PARCEL.

KRISTEN WILSON: WHAT WHAT TYPES OF USES YEAH.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO, CAN IT IS IT SINGLE HOMES OR YOU KNOW WHAT COULD BE BUILT THERE.

KRISTEN WILSON: THEY ARE TOO DOES CONTAIN SOME YOU KNOW, A SINGLE FAMILY HOME RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT I'M NOT I KNOW CHRISTIAN MILLER IS ATTENDING SO I HE'S AROUND I MIGHT ASK HIM TO.

GOOD EVENING.

KRISTEN WILSON: THANK YOU YOU'RE MUTED CHRISTIAN.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE SOUND IS VERY LOW.

CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW A LITTLE BETTER.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: STILL CAN'T HEAR YOU CHRISTIAN.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: LET'S LEAVE IT FOR LATER IN YOU KNOW IN THEM, WE CAN WE CAN FIGURE IT OUT.

KRISTEN WILSON: THANK YOU TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, A SINGLE FAMILY HOME IS PERMITTED IN THE ARTS DISTRICT YES.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO IT COULD BE, YOU KNOW, A DEVELOPER COULD COME IN AND.

BUILD.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: FAMILY HOMES IN WHATEVER PARCEL OF LAND IT'S SOLD RIGHT.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BECAUSE TYPICALLY THAT'S A LAP IT UP.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND YOU KNOW OKAY.

KRISTEN WILSON: THEY ASSUMING IT MEANS THE DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS, YES YEAH SETBACKS AND LOT SIZE AND EVERYTHING.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: LOOKS FOR WHAT SIZE ROUGHLY AN HOUR TO FORGET.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOUR THINGS ARE A LITTLE LATER.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: PLEASE LET'S PLEASE GET BACK TO THE.

PUBLIC.

KRISTEN WILSON: SO WE HAVE DANIELA.

DANIELAARREDONDO: YES, KRISTEN SORRY, I HAVE A VERY UNIQUE LAST NAME, SO MY NAME IS DANIELA I LIVE AT FIVE OSBORNE ROAD, AND I WANT TO THANK THE COUNCIL FOR YOUR TIME AND YOUR DEDICATION, I KNOW IT IS YOU KNOW.

DANIELAARREDONDO: YOU HAVE TO HEAR TO ALL OF OUR CONCERNS AND I ALSO THINK, MR ANDERSON WHO I DID MEET IN PERSON AND MR TONGUE AND MR REBEL FOR PUTTING US UP TO DATE AND REMINDING US ABOUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED IN THE PAST.

DANIELAARREDONDO: YOU KNOW THEY THERE'S THERE'S THIS CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS TWO STEP PROCESS AND, IN THIS FIRST PART OF THE PROCESS, I WENT AND LOOKED AT THE NOTES ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

DANIELAARREDONDO: AND THERE WERE CERTAIN CONCERNS THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAD RAISED INITIALLY THAT I DO NOT SEE THEM REFLECTED ON THE CURRENT PROPOSAL.

[02:10:12]

DANIELAARREDONDO: ON MAY 7 OF.

DANIELAARREDONDO: MR MATT ANDERSON BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I HAVE MENTIONED, TO MR ANDERSON IS THAT WE WOULD NOT BE UP IN ARMS, IF A LOT OF THE CONSTRUCTION WAS NOT SO CLOSE TO THE SCHOOL.

DANIELAARREDONDO: LIKE WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT SETBACKS, BUT THE CONSTRUCTION WOULD BE EXTREMELY CLOSE TO THE SCHOOL ANY FEE WAS SOMETHING CLOSER TO THEIR OWN PROPERTY THAT WOULD GIVE US SOME PEACE, SO, AS I SAID, IS THE SOUTHERN SOUTHERN PART THAT REALLY GIVES US THE MOST CONCERN.

DANIELAARREDONDO: IN MAY, SEVEN OF 2019 MR ANDERSON STATED THAT HE WANTED TO PRESERVE THE MAIN ENTRANCE OF THE SITE AND THE VIEWS OF THE HISTORIC BUILDINGS.

DANIELAARREDONDO: THEN I HAVE ON MAY SEVEN OF 2019 AS WELL THE THOUGH PLANNING COMMISSION SAID THEY NEEDED TO BE SENSITIVE TO BE A DISTANT OSBORNE SCHOOL AND THE COMMISSION AS THE APPLICANT TO CONSIDER TWO STOREY BUILDINGS NEAR THE PROPERTY ADJUST AND INCREASING HIGH TO WHERE THEY ENTER OF THE SITE.

DANIELAARREDONDO: THOSE ARE THINGS THAT I HAVEN'T SEEN ONE, AS I HAVE 53 SECONDS 52 SECONDS I WANT TO MENTION THAT IN THE CONVERSATIONS THAT I HAD WITH MR ANDERSON.

DANIELAARREDONDO: YOU KNOW, THERE IS THIS TALK ABOUT THE MARKETING STUDY AND HOW THIS NEEDS TO BE APPROVED, AND THEN WE NEED TO DO THE MARKETING STUDY.

DANIELAARREDONDO: THE OSBORNE IS A VERY STRONG AND PROFITABLE ORGANIZATION WHICH YOU KNOW WE HAVE TO THANK MR ANDERSON FOR THE VISION AND HOW HE HAS CARRIED THIS SINCE PATHWAY 2000.

DANIELAARREDONDO: AND I CONSIDER THAT A MARKETING STUDY NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE ANY OF THIS DISAPPROVED AND YOU KNOW I HAVE 20 SECONDS, SO I WILL GO TO THE BACK OF THE LINE.

DANIELAARREDONDO: I THINK EVERYONE FOR THIS TIME AND I WILL LEAVE IT FOR THE NEXT PERSON.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THANK YOU.

CRAIG: HI IT'S CHRIS HAYNES AT TO COOLIDGE AVENUE, CAN YOU HEAR ME OKAY.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: YES, WELCOME.

CRAIG: THANK YOU, GREAT THANK YOU THANKS, VERY MUCH FOR THE TIME I DON'T FEEL I NEED TO RECOUNT ALL OF THE CONCERNS THAT WE'VE EXPRESSED IN COUNTLESS LETTERS IN THIS PROCESS.

CRAIG: RATHER I'D LIKE TO TELL YOU HOW THE BROADER COMMUNITY IS THINKING AND HOW WE FEEL AS A COMMUNITY WE FEEL UNHEARD OR CONCERNS ON ADDRESSED, BUT MUCH WORSE, WE FEEL UNREPRESENTED.

CRAIG: YOU HAVE HUNDREDS OF PAGES OF LETTERS AND OPPOSITION TO THIS EGREGIOUS ZONING REQUEST, YET THIS CONVERSATION CONTINUES FROM THE SOUL BENEFIT OF ONE COMMERCIAL LANDOWNER WHO CONFUSES THE CONVERSATION WITH THEIR FIVE A ONE STATUS WHEN THIS PROPOSAL DEVELOPMENT IS ENTIRELY FOR PROFIT.

CRAIG: AND APPLICANT THAT IN CLASSIC CORPORATE FASHION FLOPS HOW MUCH TAX PAYS AND HAS THE AUDACITY TO RUN AN INTENSE MARKETING CAMPAIGN IN ADVANCE OF HAVING APPROVAL AND IN THE FACE OF OPPOSITION OF THE ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD.

CRAIG: YOU WERE ELECTED TO REPRESENT ALL RESIDENTS OF RYE, NOT JUST ONE FOR PROFIT BUSINESS PRETENDING TO BE A NONPROFIT FOR WHEN IT SUITS THEM.

CRAIG: THIS DOES NOT BENEFIT THE CITIZENS OF RYE, THERE ARE NO FACILITIES OFFERED TO THE TOWN THIS ISN'T DOES NOT PROVIDE HOUSING TO THOSE IN NEED IT'S NOT EVEN SENIOR LIVING IS LUXURY CONDOS TO WEALTHY 55 YEAR OLDS.

CRAIG: THERE'S VIRTUALLY NO ONE WHO DOESN'T LIVE ON THAT CAMPUS THAT THINKS THIS IS FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR TOWN.

CRAIG: QUITE THE CONTRARY, YOU HAVE YOU WILL HAVE FAMILIES WHO WILL RAISE TO COMPLETE CYCLES OF CHILDREN AT THE OSBORN SCHOOL ADJACENT TO THE LARGEST POSSIBLE CONSTRUCTION SITE IN THE CITY.

CRAIG: IF ANY OF US TRIED THIS WE'D BE LAUGHED OUT OF THE ROOM, I LIVE ON A NICE SIZED PLOT OF LAND I PAY A GOOD AMOUNT OF TAX I'D LIKE TO BUILD A FOUR STORY MULTI A BUILDING ON MY LAND.

CRAIG: IT'S COMPLETELY OUT OF CHARACTER OF EVERYTHING AROUND ME ALL OF THE CURRENT RESIDENTS, HOWEVER ME MY WIFE MY CHILDREN THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA AND WE'D BENEFIT GREATLY.

CRAIG: ALL OF MY NEIGHBORS WHO ARE ON THIS CALL TODAY I THINK IT'S A TERRIBLE IDEA WOULD UNIVERSALLY SUFFER DURING AND AFTER THE END RESULT.

CRAIG: SO THERE'S NO WAY THIS PLAN WOULD EVER GET APPROVED, WHY ARE WE STILL HAVING THIS CONVERSATION.

CRAIG: YOUR JOB AS CITY COUNCIL IS TO DETERMINE WHAT IS BEST FOR RISE, A WHOLE, NOT ONE PARTICULAR APPLICANT.

CRAIG: PLEASE PROVE US WRONG, THOSE OF US THAT ARE SKEPTICAL THAT YOU'LL STAND UP TO CORPORATE INTERESTS, PLEASE REPRESENT THE BROADER COMMUNITY AND THE BROADER COMMUNITY IS VOICE AND VOTE NO TO AGREE THE INTERESTS OF ONE POWERFUL CORPORATION TAKE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ONE QUICK POINT HERE I JUST I REALLY DO HOPE, I UNDERSTAND IT CORRECTLY, YOUR POINT, WE READ ALL OF THESE LETTERS THREE AND A HALF YEARS, THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN IN FRONT OF US TO THE POINT THAT THIS IS NOT RUBBER STAMP WE ARE STILL CONSIDERING.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I DO HAVE A PROBLEM, HOWEVER, BECAUSE WITH SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT WERE JUST MADE, AND SOME OF THE TONE IS SOME OF THE LETTERS WERE WERE VILIFYING.

[02:15:01]

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: NEIGHBORS AND WE'RE GOING TO SEE THEM AT WHOLE FOODS OR AT THE LIBRARY AND JUST LET'S BE RESPECTFUL IN A OUR TONE OF VOICE AND HOW WE SPEAK TO THE DIFFERENT CONSTITUENCIES WE MAY NOT AGREE, BUT WE MUST BE RESPECTFUL.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: CHRIS CAN IS THERE, ANOTHER SPEAKER.

KRISTEN WILSON: YES, SEVERAL HAYES IS P.

HAYES P: HI I THINK I WAS REGISTERED UNDER MY SON'S NAME THIS IS EMILY BALDWIN FROM 100 GLEN OAKS AND I WANT TO THANK THE CITY COUNCIL FOR THEIR TIME.

HAYES P: FIRST, I WANT TO SAY I THINK EVERYONE HAS BEEN FAIRLY FLIPPANT ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF TIME, THIS WILL TAKE WHILE YOU MAY NOT CARE IN 10 YEARS THE CHILDREN OF THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY WILL ONLY KNOW THIS DISRUPTION.

HAYES P: I THINK WE SHOULD ALL BE THINKING OF PROTECTING THE PEACE OF OUR CHILDREN'S LEARNING SPACES, PARTICULARLY TODAY LEARNING SPACES SHOULD BE SANCTUARIES.

HAYES P: SECOND, THE THREATS THAT THE OSBORNE IS LETTING AGAINST THE TOWN ONLY TELLS ME HOW MUCH A COMPREHENSIVE MASTER PLAN IS NECESSARY.

HAYES P: THIS SHOULD BE AN EMPTY THREAT, AND YET IT IS APPARENTLY NOT THIRD, IT IS CLEAR THE OSBORN IS CLEARLY CHOOSING THE BACK OF THEIR CAMPUS AS A PREVIOUS CALLER MENTIONED.

HAYES P: TO LIMIT THEIR PERSONAL BEARING OF THE AESTHETIC DISRUPTION, BY BUILDING HIGH RISES.

HAYES P: MANY OF US, PARTICULARLY SINCE COVEN LEFT THE CITY TO NOT HAVE APARTMENT BUILDINGS LOOMING OVER OUR PLAYGROUNDS AND YET, APPARENTLY, THIS IS WHAT THE OTHER ONE IS PROPOSING FOR OUR CHILDREN.

HAYES P: FINALLY, I CHALLENGE THE OSBOURNES POSITIONING AS GOOD NEIGHBORS I DISTINCTLY RECALL THE DAYS FOLLOWING IDA.

HAYES P: I LIVE ALONE COOLIDGE WHERE THERE WAS EXTENSIVE FLOODING, AND NO ONE EVER SAW ANYONE ANY OUTREACH FROM THEM, WITH ALL THEIR RESOURCES GROUND KEEPERS AND TRUCKS.

HAYES P: AND YET, NOW THEY ARE TRYING TO INCREASE THE RISK OF FLOODING IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WITHOUT OFFERING YOU KNOW, WITHOUT A HISTORY OF OFFERING ANY KIND OF CARING OR SUPPORT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD THANK YOU.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: PLEASE, PLEASE CAN WE STOP LIKE I CAN'T I CAN'T LISTEN TO JAY YOU'VE GOT A POINT TO MAKE, MAKE THE POINT DO NOT VILIFY EACH OTHER THE OSBORNE US LET'S WE CAN'T WE CAN'T OPERATE THIS WAY, PLEASE.

JOHN LEONARD: HELLO.

JOHN LEONARD: THIS IS JOHN LEONARD.

JOHN LEONARD: LIVE AT ONE APPLE I MISS AVENUE I'VE BEEN AWRY HOMEOWNER MORE THAN 40 YEARS AND I'VE KNOWN THE OSBORNE US A NEIGHBOR OR 40 ODD YEARS.

JOHN LEONARD: FRANKLY, THIS WHOLE DISCUSSION I'M FEELING THERE SHOULD BE A GOOD BIT MORE FLEXIBILITY ON ALL PARTS, THIS INCLUDES THE.

JOHN LEONARD: CITY'S ZONING REQUIREMENTS, FRANKLY, SOME FLEXIBILITY IN THE DESIGN OF THE PROJECT FROM THE OSBORNE AND CERTAINLY SOME FLEXIBILITY THAT I'M NOT HEARING IT ALL FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD INTERESTS.

JOHN LEONARD: THE.

JOHN LEONARD: SMALL ASIDE PITTSBURGH AREA IN THE 50S ONE OF THE MOST FUN OUTINGS FROM ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, WAS TO GO NEXT DOOR AND SEE THE CONSTRUCTION SITE WITH ONE OF THE BUILDERS EXPLAINING WHAT WAS GOING ON.

JOHN LEONARD: HOW CAN THIS BE IMPROVED, I THINK THERE ARE TWO OR THREE AREAS.

JOHN LEONARD: ONE.

JOHN LEONARD: I DO LIKE TO RETAIN THE OPEN CAMPUS APPROACH I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED IF I LOOK AT YOU'LL BE AND LOOK GOD AS CHANGED, WE ARE BASICALLY BUILDING OUR BUILDINGS AND THEN WE ARE PUTTING UP A WALL OF EVERGREENS TO BLOCK THE VIEW.

JOHN LEONARD: WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO BUILD THINGS THAT CAN STAND TO BE SEEN FROM A DISTANCE, THE WAY THE CURRENT FIST IS OPEN SAME POINT, I SHOULD ADD, WOULD APPLY TO SOME OF THE SCREENING REQUIREMENTS AND OTHER RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS.

JOHN LEONARD: THE SECOND POINT IS THAT I I LOOK AT THE NEW BUILDINGS THEY'RE ALMOST THE WHOLE BEING BUILT ON THE SOUTH AND WEST.

JOHN LEONARD: SOUTH AND EAST SIDE OF THE CURRENT CAMPUS IF I LOOK AT THE MAP I'VE GOT A LOT OF SPACE ALONG THE ROAD AND I'VE GOT SPACE NEAR THE WEST BED PARKING LOT AND NEAR THE ST REGIS WHICH IS.

JOHN LEONARD: BOTH OF WHICH HAVE CLEARLY ROWAN DANNY AESTHETIC ELEMENT OF THAT AND THE PROPERTY.

JOHN LEONARD: SHOULDN'T IT BE POSSIBLE TO HAVE A MUCH SMALLER SET BACK ALONG THE COMMERCIAL PART OF THE ROAD, PARALLEL TO THE ONE ONE ACROSS STRAIGHT AND NOTHING WORSE THAN THE THAN THE ST REGIS GOT AWAY WITH IN THEIR PROJECT.

JOHN LEONARD: I THINK THERE'S ROOM TO REDRAW THE MAP, BUT MORE OF THE NEW CONSTRUCTION TOWARD THE NORTH AND WEST SIDES OF THE PROPERTY THEN WE'VE GOT A LITTLE FIGHT THE OSBORNE IS A LONG TERM CONTRIBUTOR DRY IT'S ONE I WANT CAPE AND IT'S ONE I WANTED SUPPORT.

[02:20:11]

JOHN LEONARD: WEST SIDE, WE MAY NEED MORE ON THE SPRING ROADSIDE AND IT ALSO LIKE THE CHAIR OF THE VIEW, PLEASE LET'S KEEP ITSELF, THANK YOU.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THANK YOU.

KRISTEN WILSON: OUR NOVEMBER.

ROBERT NOVEMBER: I'M SPEAKING FOR MYSELF, BUT ALSO AS PRESIDENT OF THE OSBORNE RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION SO SPEAK FOR THE 400 OF US WHO ARE A RIDE NEIGHBORHOOD AND RIDE RESIDENTS.

ROBERT NOVEMBER: AND WE URGE THE ADOPTION OF THIS OWNING VARIOUS WE DO WORK HARD TO BE CONSCIENTIOUS VOTERS AND CITIZENS AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO US THAT THE OSBORN MAINTAIN ECONOMIC VIABILITY.

ROBERT NOVEMBER: RIGHT IS OUR HOME IN OUR LATER YEARS WE DEPEND NOW ON THE OSBORNE TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES WHICH WE NEED, AND TO DO THAT, IT NEEDS TO ADJUST TO THE MORE COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT, AND IT IS A MORE COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT IF WE AT THE OSBORNE GET MAILINGS FROM FROM THE.

ROBERT NOVEMBER: NEW COMPARED COMPETITORS, WHETHER IT'S AT THE STATE UNIVERSITY OR IN NEW YORK CITY, THERE IS A.

ROBERT NOVEMBER: AN INCREASE IN COMPETITIVENESS FOR OUR COMMUNITIES SO TO SUMMARIZE, WE ARE RESIDENCE, WE ARE A NEIGHBORHOOD MRI.

ROBERT NOVEMBER: WE RELY ON THE US WARM SUPPORTIVE OUR LIFESTYLE AND FOR THE BEAUTY OF OUR CAMPUS WE NEED IT TO BE COMPETITIVE AND VIABLE AND TO DO THAT THE VARIANCES NEEDED.

ROBERT NOVEMBER: THE OSBORNE HAS EARNED OUR TRUST BY SUPPORTING US IN THESE DIFFICULT YEARS AND IN MAINTAINING THE BEAUTY OF THE CAMPUS WE'RE CONFIDENT THAT ANY PLAN DEVICE TO MEET ITS ECONOMIC NEEDS WILL MEET THESE REQUIREMENTS AS WELL.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THANK YOU.

KRISTEN WILSON: YOU'RE.

JOE ROTONDO: WELCOME HI GOOD EVENING.

JOE ROTONDO: CAN YOU CAN YOU HEAR ME.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: YES.

OKAY, GREAT.

JOE ROTONDO: WELL, FIRST I'D LIKE TO THANK THE CITY COUNCIL FOR YOUR TIME AND ALSO THE OSBORN REPRESENTATIVES FOR YOUR PRESENTATION AND FOR THE UPDATE MY FAMILY AND I LIVE AT FIVE WOODS LANE AND WOODS LANE IS RIGHT OFF OF OSBORNE ROAD.

JOE ROTONDO: SO I'LL BE BRIEF.

JOE ROTONDO: SO I AM OPPOSED TO THE ZONING AMENDMENT AND THE REASONS ARE FAIRLY SIMPLE MY NEIGHBORS MY FAMILY, AND I DO NOT WANT TO EXPERIENCE YEARS OF CONSTRUCTION RELATED NOISE.

JOE ROTONDO: EXTRA TRAFFIC AND DISRUPTION YEAH I UNDERSTAND THE OSBORNE'S POSITION AND THE THE RATIONALE FOR THIS NEW PROJECT, HOWEVER, IT DOES COME AT A FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT COST TO TO THE NEIGHBORS SO I ASKED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL VOTE NO TO THE ZONING REQUEST, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I HAVE A QUESTION FOR JOE DO YOU DON'T WANT ANY CONSTRUCTION, SO YOU DON'T WANT YOU WOULDN'T EVEN WANT ANY MODIFICATION TO THEIR ASK YOU JUST WANT A HARD NO NOTHING DONE.

JOE ROTONDO: YES, THAT IS CORRECT.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OKAY, THANK YOU.

JOE ROTONDO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

KRISTEN WILSON: ON TWO MEN.

KRISTEN WILSON: AUTUMN, MAYBE SORRY.

AUTUMN: NO, SORRY YEAH THAT'S MY DAUGHTER SORRY IT'S STACY I LIVE AT 51 SOUNDVIEW UM SO YOU KNOW I APPRECIATE IT SOMEBODY.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: SAYS WHAT'S YOUR LAST NAME, PLEASE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: MASSEY THANK YOU.

AUTUMN: UM YEAH I MEAN I APPRECIATE IT, SOME OF THE POINTS THAT MAD MADE TODAY IT SEEMS LIKE THIS, THE MORE CONCESSIONS MADE, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS GREAT AND I WAS HAPPY TO HEAR THAT THERE WOULDN'T BE.

AUTUMN: CONSTRUCTION WORKERS PUKING ALL OVER THE PLACE, AND THAT THEY WOULD BE ON THE OSBORN CAMPUS BECAUSE, CLEARLY, THAT WAS A DISASTER, BUT THE ST REGIS.

AUTUMN: I THINK THE ASK NEEDS TO BE SMALLER THAN WHAT IT IS I'M NOT AGAINST SOME CONSTRUCTION I JUST THINK IT'S TOO BIG.

AUTUMN: AND, AS SOMEONE WHO HAS A CHILD THAT'S ABOUT TO GO SIX YEARS THROUGH OSBORNE SCHOOL I JUST REALLY DON'T WANT TO HAVE IT NEXT TO THE SCHOOL.

[02:25:01]

AUTUMN: AND HAVE TO GO THROUGH PICK UP AND DROP OFF EVERY DAY WITH ALL THE POLLUTION AND THE NOISE AND EVERYTHING ASSOCIATED WITH THAT SO WITH LOVE TO SUPPORT YOUR GROWTH JUST NOT AT THE IMPACT OF THE SCHOOL AND THE KIDS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: EMILY WELCOME.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: CAROLYN COULD YOU TAKE NOTE OF EMILY'S JOINING.

EMILY HURD RYE CITY DEPUTY MAYOR: SORRY FOR JOINING LATE.

KRISTEN WILSON: WE WILL NOTE THAT IN THE MINUTES, MR ERIC THANK YOU.

KRISTEN WILSON: MARIANNE HAYES.

MARY ANN HAINES: HI MY NAME IS MARIANNE HAINES I LIVE AT TWO COOLIDGE AVE.

MARY ANN HAINES: I'M GOING TO PREFACE THIS BY THE ASSUMPTION THAT YOU'VE ALL READ THE LETTER THAT MY HUSBAND AND I SUBMITTED EARLIER TODAY AND ITS ENTIRETY, AND SO I WON'T REITERATE THOSE POINTS AT THIS TIME.

MARY ANN HAINES: AND I'LL APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE COUNCILMAN SOUZA IF YOU DON'T LIKE MY TONE EITHER.

MARY ANN HAINES: BUT, QUITE FRANKLY, WE'RE ANGRY, THE COMMUNITY IS ANGRY, WE TOO HAVE BEEN AT THIS FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS, AND WE HAVE WRITTEN LETTERS WE'VE ATTENDED MEETINGS WE'VE ATTENDED TOURS AND WE STILL FEEL ON HEARD.

MARY ANN HAINES: THIS ZONING AMENDMENT IS COMPLETELY DISCRETIONARY YOU ALWAYS WORN CHOSE TO START DOWN THIS PATH.

MARY ANN HAINES: THE ONUS IS ACTUALLY ON THEM TO SATISFACTORILY ADDRESSED ALL OF THE RESIDENTS AND THE COUNCIL'S CONCERNS, REGARDLESS OF HOW LONG IT TAKES.

MARY ANN HAINES: THE BURDEN OF PROOF PROOF AS TO WHY THE OSBORNE NEEDS THIS ASSESSMENT AMENDMENT TO CONTINUE THEIR CURRENT SUCCESS SHOULD BE ON THE OSBORNE.

MARY ANN HAINES: TODAY, HAS FALLEN TO THE MANY CONCERNED RESIDENTS TO SPREAD AND INNUMERABLE HOURS OF RESEARCH AND LEARNING IN ORDER TO EDUCATE THEMSELVES AND THEIR NEIGHBORS ON THIS ISSUE.

MARY ANN HAINES: INSTEAD, THE OSBORNE HAS CHOSEN TO FOCUS ON A GLITZY PR CAMPAIGN TO CONVINCE ALL OF US THAT THEY SHOULD GET WHAT THEY WANT HOMEOWNERS AND RESIDENTS HAVE WRITTEN LETTERS ATTENDED MEETINGS VOICE THEIR CONCERNS AND WE'RE STILL FEELING UNHEARD AND UNREPRESENTED.

MARY ANN HAINES: INCLUDING AS RECENTLY AS THIS AFTERNOON WHEN OUR PETITION SUBMITTED ELECTRONICALLY TO SATISFY THE 20% FRONTAGE PROPERTY OBJECTION REQUIREMENT.

MARY ANN HAINES: THIS WAS AFTER WE HAVE BEEN ASKED TO ATTEND MEETINGS VIRTUALLY WE'VE NOT YET MET IN PERSON OR HAD OPPORTUNITY TO ASK QUESTIONS OF THE OSBORNE IN THIS FORUM.

MARY ANN HAINES: WE WERE ONLY GIVEN THREE MINUTES EACH TO DEFEND OUR HOMES AND OUR POSITIONS.

MARY ANN HAINES: AND I THINK YOU WILL FIND IN YOUR EMAIL SINCE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AROUND FIVE O'CLOCK 530 THERE IS A COPY OF THE PETITION WITH THE ORIGINAL SIGNATURES.

MARY ANN HAINES: AND WE WOULD EXPECT THAT ANY VOTE BEFORE ANY VOTE IS CONSIDERED THAT THIS PETITION PETITION OF OBJECTION WILL BE FULLY REVIEWED, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, I.

KRISTEN WILSON: DID RECEIVE THE PETITION LATE THIS AFTERNOON, AND WE WILL REVIEW IT.

MARY ANN HAINES: THANK YOU.

KRISTEN WILSON: MONICA DRISCOLL.

MONIKADRISCOLL: HI CAN YOU HEAR ME THIS IS MONICA YES, I MET BEFORE DRAKE I'VE GOT THREE CHILDREN IN THE RYE SCHOOL DISTRICT WANNA RMS AND TWO AND OSBORNE.

MONIKADRISCOLL: I WON'T GO THROUGH ALL OF THE CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE HIGHLIGHTED IN OUR LETTERS, BUT I DID WANT TO EMPHASIZE, AS MANY OTHERS HAVE DONE TONIGHT, THE IMPORTANCE OF.

MONIKADRISCOLL: MAKING SURE WE MINIMIZE THE DISRUPTION TO THE OSBORNE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS, I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE 400 RESIDENTS AT THE OSBORNE.

MONIKADRISCOLL: RATHER THAN AND THEY PLAY OBVIOUSLY PAY VALUABLE SERVICES TO THOSE RESIDENTS, BUT I DO THINK WE REALLY NEED TO CONSIDER.

MONIKADRISCOLL: THE IMPACT THAT THIS PROJECT COULD HAVE ON THE 600 SCHOOLCHILDREN RIGHT NEARBY SO I'M NOT OPPOSED TO.

MONIKADRISCOLL: EXPANSION PER SE, BUT I DO THINK THAT THE SCALE OF EXPANSION NEEDS TO BE REDUCED AND RECONSIDERED SIGNIFICANTLY.

MONIKADRISCOLL: AND YOU KNOW, IN TERMS OF WHERE THE ACTUAL NEW CONSTRUCTION COULD TAKE PLACE OR WHERE THE MAJORITY OF THE CONSTRUCTION COULD TAKE PLACE.

MONIKADRISCOLL: IT SHOULD BE AWAY FROM THE OSBORNE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THERE THEY HAVE 5060 ACRES THERE'S PLENTY OF SPACE FOR THEM TO CONSTRUCT ELSEWHERE AND THE FOCUS REALLY SHOULD BE AWAY FROM THE.

MONIKADRISCOLL: OSBORNE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND AND I ALSO WAS READING A LETTER FROM ONE OF THE BOARD MEMBERS AT THE OSBORNE THAT THEY WROTE TO THE RIGHT RECORD A FEW WEEKS AGO TOUTING THE BENEFITS OF THE.

MONIKADRISCOLL: EXPANSION PLAN, AND YOU KNOW DIDN'T EVEN MENTION THE OSBORN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AT ALL, SO THE SCARIEST PART OF ME IS THE TUNNEL VISION HERE OF THE OSBORNE.

MONIKADRISCOLL: I'M WORRIED THAT THEY ARE NOT CONSIDERING THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN AT ALL, THERE ARE 600 OF THEM IT'S K THROUGH SIX, THERE ARE VERY, VERY IMPORTANT CONSTITUENT THEY CANNOT VOTE, BUT WE NEED TO BE REPRESENTING THEM, THANK YOU.

[02:30:12]

KRISTEN WILSON: SHARON MANSELL.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WELCOME SHARON.

SHARON MANTEL: HI CAN YOU HEAR ME.

SHARON MANTEL: YES, GREAT THANK YOU I'M SHARING MANTLE I LIVE AT 42 COLBY AV MY CHILDREN ARE IN FOR FOURTH AND FIRST GRADE AT OSBORNE.

SHARON MANTEL: OUR BACKYARD IS CLOSE TO THE OLD POST ROAD AND BOSTON POST ROAD INTERSECTION SO WE HAVE A STRONG INVESTMENT IN THIS PROPOSAL.

SHARON MANTEL: AND MATT YOUR REVISIONS TO THE PLAN SOUND BETTER TONIGHT THAN THEY DID RECENTLY AND YOUR DESIRE TO PROTECT OUR SCHOOL ARE APPRECIATED.

SHARON MANTEL: WE WANT TO SEE OSBORNE EXPAND AND KEEP UP WITH OTHER SENIOR LIVING AND NURSING AREAS I ALSO UNDERSTAND THIS TWO PHASE PROCESS WITH A LOT OF THE SPECIFICS PART OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

SHARON MANTEL: BUT I WANT TO PROTECT THE AREA AROUND OUR SCHOOL AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY, I FEEL LIKE IT SHOULD BE A SAFE HAVEN FROM BUILDINGS LOOKING DOWN ON IT.

SHARON MANTEL: ONGOING CONSTRUCTION AFFECTING THE AIR QUALITY NOISE ROCK CHIPPING ETC.

SHARON MANTEL: IT SEEMS, THE FOCUS IS ADDING AMENITIES, TO THE INDEPENDENT LIVING PART OF OSBORNE WHICH MAKES SENSE, BUT THAT PROPERTY IS CLOSEST TO THE SCHOOL AND IT'S HARD TO TRUST THE PLANNING COMMITTEE TO HELP PROTECT THAT ZONE.

SHARON MANTEL: I'M HEARING TONIGHT THAT THREE TO FIVE STOREY BUILDINGS CAN STILL BE BUILT IN THE SCHOOLS BACKYARD.

SHARON MANTEL: MY SECOND CONCERN IS TRAFFIC BOSTON POST ROAD SAN DRIVE OAKLAND BEACH OSBORNE ROAD FEEL THEY'RE HIGHLY TRAFFICKED AREAS WITH LOTS OF STREET PARKING THAT'S NECESSARY FOR THE SCHOOL.

SHARON MANTEL: OSBORNE HAS A LARGE POPULATION OF FAMILIES THAT LIVE OUTSIDE OF WHAT MOST WOULD CONSIDER A NORMAL WALKING DISTANCE IT'S MUCH LESS OF A NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOL THAN THE OTHERS.

SHARON MANTEL: YOU SAID, YOUR TRAFFIC COMES OFF 95 THERE ARE MANY OSBORNE SCHOOL FAMILIES THAT ALSO COME THAT WAY DOWN NORTH AVENUE.

SHARON MANTEL: YOUR TRUCKS MAY PARK ON YOUR SITE, BUT THEY WILL TRAVEL ON THE SAME ROADS AS US, AND THEY WILL ADD TO THE ALREADY SIGNIFICANT BACKUPS AND THE TERRIBLE SAFETY SITUATIONS, PARTICULARLY AT SONIC DRIVE AT ONE OF THE ENTRANCES TO THE SCHOOL.

SHARON MANTEL: THIS IDEA OF ADDING ANY SORT OF OBSTACLES CONSTRUCTION TRUCKS EMERGENCY VEHICLES NEEDS TO BE SOLVED WITH THE SAFE AND THE THOUGHTFUL PLAN OR HAS TO BE REDESIGNED BEFORE THE OSBORNE GETS PERMISSION TO BUILD.

SHARON MANTEL: LET'S HELP DIRECT THE OSBORNE ON THEIR VERY LARGE PROPERTY TO FIND THE RIGHT PLACE TO BUILD THE GIVES THEM THE REAL ESTATE THEY'RE LOOKING FOR AND PROTECTS THE SAFETY AND CHARACTER OF A BUDDING NEIGHBORHOODS AND, OF COURSE, OUR SCHOOL, THANK YOU.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THANK YOU.

KRISTEN WILSON: SEAN SUMMER.

SEAN PLUMMER: GOOD EVENING CAN EVERYONE HEAR ME OKAY.

SEAN PLUMMER: YES, YES OKAY.

SEAN PLUMMER: THANK YOU FOR THE TIME THIS EVENING.

SEAN PLUMMER: WANTED ONE ASK A QUESTION THAT OBVIOUSLY WON'T BE ADDRESSED IN THIS FORUM BUT.

SEAN PLUMMER: MAD AND THE OSBORN TALKS ABOUT A PHASED APPROACH AS THEY BEGIN TO GROW AND KIND OF GROW INTO THE SPACE AND SEE HOW THE EXPANSION.

SEAN PLUMMER: PERFORMS AND HOW THE COMMUNITY ADOPTS TO IT I'M CURIOUS WHY THE COUNCIL, AS OPPOSED TO SIMILAR COMPONENT AS A RELAY STAFF, THEY ARE.

SEAN PLUMMER: WE'RE LOOKING TO POTENTIALLY GROUND A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF FDR AND THEN SIT BACK AND SEE HOW THAT PARCEL GETS USED, IT WOULD MAKE MORE SENSE TO ME THAT FDR GETS ABSORBED AS EACH INDIVIDUAL REQUIREMENTS REQUIRED BY THE OSBORN FOR THAT GROWTH.

SEAN PLUMMER: IS IT'S A QUESTION BY RECOGNIZING THIS FORM DOESN'T REALLY GOOD ANSWER THE SECOND PIECE IS GOING BACK TO A COUPLE THINGS I THINK THAT ARE HELPFUL TO CLARIFY.

SEAN PLUMMER: ONE IS A NOT FOR PROFIT VERSUS A 501 C THREE OR TAX EXEMPT STATUS THE OSBORNE IS A NOT FOR PROFIT, THEY LOST A PORTION OF THEIR TAX EXEMPT STATUS.

SEAN PLUMMER: IN THE EARLY 90S, AND PART OF THAT WAS BECAUSE, AS PART OF THE PATHWAY 2000, AND THIS IS IN NEW YORK STATE SUPREME COURT CASE OF FEBRUARY 12 2000 TO.

SEAN PLUMMER: THE HOSPITAL BOARD OF TRUSTEES ADOPTED A POLICY THAT THE TOTAL FUNDED BUDGET FOR CHARITY EXPENDITURES ANNUALLY WOULD NOT EXCEED 5% THEY LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF CHERRY THEY CAN PROVIDE.

SEAN PLUMMER: AND PART OF THAT WAS VERY GOOD BUSINESS DECISION SO THEY CAN BECOME A HIGHER REVENUE PRODUCING ENTITY, AND THAT MAKES A GREAT SENSE.

SEAN PLUMMER: I HAD A CHANCE TO SPEAK WITH THE ANALYSTS AND FISH EARLIER THIS WEEK AND THEY COMPLEMENT THEM IS ONE OF THE VERY BEST RETIREMENT COMMUNITIES IN THE COUNTRY, WHICH IT IS THERE'S NO QUESTION THAT.

SEAN PLUMMER: IT IS A WONDERFULLY RUN ORGANIZATION.

SEAN PLUMMER: THAT WONDERFULLY RUN ORGANIZATION IS VERY, VERY FINANCIALLY STABLE IT'S BEEN GIVEN A AN A MINUS RADIOS IS NOTED EARLIER TODAY.

SEAN PLUMMER: TO ONE OF MY NEIGHBORS QUESTIONS THEY HAVE A WAITLIST OF 77 PEOPLE THAT ARE WAITING TO MOVE INTO THE OSBORNE AT SOME POINT IN TIME.

SEAN PLUMMER: THEY MAINTAINED A VERY HIGH OCCUPANCY DURING COVIDIEN CURRENTLY, WITH AN AVERAGE OF THE LAST THREE YEARS ABOUT 95%.

[02:35:03]

SEAN PLUMMER: BUT I THINK THERE'S ALSO A POINT OF CLARIFICATION THEY'RE LOOKING TO GROW A BUSINESS AS I'VE SAID BEFORE, WHICH IS THERE RIGHT.

SEAN PLUMMER: BUT THEY'RE LOOKING TO DO SO AT THE EXPENSE OF THE OF THE COMMUNITY, WHICH I DON'T THINK IS THERE RIGHT AND SO WITH THAT I AM I VOTE.

SEAN PLUMMER: AGAINST THE EXPANSION OF THE OSBORNE AND I'LL DO THE REST OF MY DONE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THANK YOU.

KRISTEN WILSON: ALICE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WELCOME ALICE.

ALICE MODEL: HELLO I'M ALICE MOTEL I HAVE A RESIDENT OF THE OSBORN I'VE LIVED HERE FOR 12 YEARS MY ADDRESS IS 2402 CO ROAD, I WOULD LIKE TO APPEAL TO THE YOUNG MOTHER WHO LIVES ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE OSBORN SCHOOL.

ALICE MODEL: TO TELL HER THAT, WHEN I WAS TEACHING AT THE HAMMOCK SCHOOL IN MAMARONECK I MADE A LESSON OUT OF THE BUILDING OF THEIR ICE SKATING RINK.

ALICE MODEL: I GOT A BLUEPRINT OF WHAT WAS GOING TO BE BUILT, AND I MADE A WHOLE LESSON OUT OF IT, I ALSO HAPPEN TO BE LIVING IN AN APARTMENT.

ALICE MODEL: WHEN THE CENTRAL SCHOOL WAS BEING BUILT AND WATCHING IT BEING BUILT OUT THE WINDOW OF OUR APARTMENT WAS JUST LIKE MIKE MOHEGAN AND A STEAM SHOVEL THE KIDS LOVE TO WATCH.

ALICE MODEL: CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL, SO I DON'T WANT YOU TO PUNISH US FOR THE INCONVENIENCE THAT WE'VE ALL HAD AT THE HARRISON STATION.

ALICE MODEL: BECAUSE OF ALL THE CONSTRUCTION THAT'S BEEN GOING ON, I ALSO THINK THAT, AT THE OSBORN SCHOOL THE SCHOOL ITSELF IS GOING TO BE UNDERGOING SOME CONSTRUCTION THAT'S MUCH MORE.

ALICE MODEL: MUCH MUCH CLOSER TO WHERE YOU LIVE ALSO MANY OF NEW NEIGHBORS ARE YOUNG PEOPLE THINK ABOUT WHERE YOU WOULD LIKE YOUR PARENTS TO MOVE.

ALICE MODEL: WHEN IT'S TIME FOR THEM TO MOVE OUT OF THEIR HOMES AND THINK ABOUT MAYBE THAT THE OSBORNE WOULD BE A PLACE FOR THEM TO COME.

ALICE MODEL: SO DON'T UNDERSTAND IT'S BEEN DISCUSSED FOR THREE AND A HALF YEARS THAT'S A VERY LONG TIME, AND ALSO WE'RE JUST ASKING FOR ZONING THERE IT'S ALL THE OTHER THINGS HAVE TO DO WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION, THANK YOU.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THANK YOU.

KRISTEN WILSON: OKAY RYAN CAR.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WELCOME JANET.

KRISTEN WILSON: JANET.

JANET RYAN CHARK: HI I'M JANET ROTTEN SHARK AND I LIVE AT THE I WAS BORN I'VE BEEN A RESIDENT OF RIGHT SINCE 1968 WHICH IS GOING ON 54 YEARS.

JANET RYAN CHARK: AND WE ALWAYS CONSIDERED THE OSBORN PART OF OUR COMMUNITY AND I ALWAYS HAD MY EYE ON IT THINKING, MAYBE WE MOVED THERE WHEN I GOT ON AND YEARS.

JANET RYAN CHARK: AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED, I FELL DOWN AND BROKE MY LEG ONE DAY WOUND UP HERE IN THE PAVILION, WHICH IS THE HOSPITAL WHEN AND DECIDED TO MOVE IN.

JANET RYAN CHARK: I'M SO HAPPY HERE.

JANET RYAN CHARK: I LOOKED AT IT AS.

JANET RYAN CHARK: THE WAY I GET ABOUT GOING TO COLLEGE NEW FRIENDS NEW THINGS TO DO, NEW ACTIVITIES AND I'M VERY HAPPY, I CAN WE CONSIDER OURSELVES PART OF THE VARIETY COMMUNITY.

JANET RYAN CHARK: AND WE DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING THAT WILL HARM BRY OR HARM ANY OF ITS CITIZENS.

JANET RYAN CHARK: ANY CONSTRUCTION WILL ABSOLUTELY NOT BE HIGH RISE SOMEONE WHO SPOKE, THE SAME NAME MENTIONED THAT NO, WE HAVE NO PLANS TO HAVE HIGH RISE BUILDINGS, BUT WE DO NEED.

JANET RYAN CHARK: NEW AND UP TO DATE AMENITIES, AND ALSO TO TO KEEP OURSELVES IN LINE WITH SOME OF THE OTHER SENIOR FACILITIES BEING UP.

JANET RYAN CHARK: JUST FOR INSTANCE, OUR AUDITORIUM WHICH IS LARGE ENOUGH FOR MEETINGS IS NOW USED FOR OTHER THINGS, INCLUDING PICKLE BALL.

JANET RYAN CHARK: SO THE CHAIRS HAVE REMOVED OUT OF THE WAY AND PICK A BALL PLAYED ON IT USED TO BE A MAGNIFICENT FLOOR AND IT'S NOW ALL SCRATCHED UP, WE OBVIOUSLY.

[02:40:06]

JANET RYAN CHARK: BUT WE'RE VERY CONCERNED WITH RYE, WE CONSIDER OURSELVES PART OF HER HIGH, AND WE HOPE WILL BE TREATED THAT WAY AND NOT TREATED AS ENEMIES WHO ARE TRYING TO INVADE THANK YOU.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THANK YOU.

KRISTEN WILSON: PETE ARCHER.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WELCOME, P.

PETE ARCHER: GOOD EVENING COUNCIL PETER ARCHER 43 NEED PLACE RIGHT NEW YORK, SO I DON'T LIVE I KNOW A LOT OF THE THE SPEAKERS EITHER LIVE IN THE OSBORNE OR LIVE NEARBY THE OSBORNE I DON'T LIVE ANYWHERE NEAR THE OSBORNE.

PETE ARCHER: I'M A MILE OR SO AWAY I LIVE ON ME PLACE AND WE ARE APPROXIMATELY EIGHT MONTHS REMOVED FROM.

PETE ARCHER: A CATASTROPHIC FLOOD THAT ALL OF OUR I EXPERIENCED YOU KNOW MANY, MANY DOZENS OF HOMES EXPERIENCED AND.

PETE ARCHER: THE FLOOD.

PETE ARCHER: THAT WE EXPERIENCE OR FLOODING, I SHOULD SAY, IS REALLY AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO THIS TOWN IF WE GET.

PETE ARCHER: YOU KNOW MORE FLOODS LIKE WE HAD WITH IDA.

PETE ARCHER: IN THE FUTURE, AND WE ARE LIKELY TO HAVE THOSE RIGHT IT'S ALMOST A GUARANTEE.

PETE ARCHER: AT SOME POINT, MANY OF THE HOMES, WILL NOT BE HABITABLE OKAY, THAT IS A FINANCE THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE TAX TAX PAYING PROPERTY TAX PAYING HOMES ANYMORE.

PETE ARCHER: THAT IS AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO THIS TOWN, AND I THINK THE COUNCIL PLANNING COMMISSION WE REALLY NEED TO BE LASER LASER FOCUSED ESPECIALLY AMONG.

PETE ARCHER: PROPERTIES THAT ARE UPHELD, THAT THERE IS A AS MUCH PERMEABLE SOIL.

PETE ARCHER: AS POSSIBLE THAT IMPERVIOUS SURFACES, YOU KNOW, WILL CAUSE FLOODING DOWNHILL DOWNSTREAM, THE REASON MY HOME FLOODED.

PETE ARCHER: IS NOT BECAUSE OF THE RAIN THAT FELL IN THE VICINITY OF MY HOME IT'S BECAUSE OF RAIN THAT FELL IN OTHER AREAS, AND IT FLOWED DOWN HILL OR DOWN THE BLIND BROOK WHICH COULDN'T HANDLE THE WATER AND WENT INTO THEM, YOU KNOW LOCAL BASEMENTS.

PETE ARCHER: FLOOD MITIGATION, YOU KNOW THESE GUYS SAYING THAT THEY'RE GOING TO PUT STORMWATER MANAGEMENT SO THOSE ARE NICE FACSIMILES FOR MOTHER NATURE, BUT THEY ARE SUBJECT TO FAILURE THEY'RE SUBJECT TO WEAR AND FACILITATION AS TIME GOES ON, AND THEY'RE SUBJECT TO.

PETE ARCHER: DESIGN FLAWS, SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I THINK THAT WE NEED TO.

PETE ARCHER: REFOCUS OUR YOU KNOW WE CONSIDER BUILDING AND WE CONSIDER CHANGES AND ZONING, WE NEED TO CONSIDER WHAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT, WHICH IS THE SURVIVAL OF THIS TOWN AND PREVENTION OF CATASTROPHIC FLOODS AND THE DAMAGE THEY CAN DO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, HAVE A GOOD EVENING.

KRISTEN WILSON: WHEN IT'S IN CHECK.

AMANDA TIMCHAK (SHE/HERS): HI EVERYONE AMANDA TIM JACK 61 AS ONE ROAD I'D LIKE TO START BY STATING EMPHATICALLY THAT NEIGHBORS LIKE MYSELF WANT THE OSBORNE TO SUCCEED.

AMANDA TIMCHAK (SHE/HERS): I REALLY APPRECIATE THE CHANGES THAT MATT ANDERSON DISCUSS TONIGHT, PARTICULARLY THE INCREASED SETBACKS ALONG I WAS BORN ROAD AND THE REDUCED THREE STOREY 40 FOOT BUILDING HEIGHTS.

AMANDA TIMCHAK (SHE/HERS): I THINK WE'RE PROBABLY ALL GOING TO NEED A MINUTE TO THINK ABOUT AND REFLECT ON THESE PROPOSED CHANGES, BUT I WANT TO SAY THAT I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THEM.

AMANDA TIMCHAK (SHE/HERS): I ALSO APPRECIATE COUNCILMEMBER STACKS AND THE MAYOR FOR ASKING FOR PUTTING PEN TO PAPER ON THESE CHANGES AND SEEING THE UPDATED ILLUSTRATIVE SITE DIAGRAM BECAUSE I THINK THAT WAS REALLY HELPFUL IN PREVIOUS ITERATIONS TO REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS ON THE TABLE.

AMANDA TIMCHAK (SHE/HERS): BEFORE HEARING MATS OF DATA PROPOSAL, THE WHAT I REALLY WANTED TO TALK ABOUT TONIGHT AND HIGHLIGHT WAS MY TOP CONCERN ON WHICH WAS THE MAGNITUDE OF THE PROPOSED INCREASED FLIR.

AMANDA TIMCHAK (SHE/HERS): WHAT WAS PROPOSED PREVIOUS TONIGHT WAS INCREASING FROM POINT THREE 2.45 WHICH FELT AND CONTINUED TO FELT FEEL LIKE A REALLY BIG CHANGE.

AMANDA TIMCHAK (SHE/HERS): IT'S 460 2000 SQUARE FEET THAT HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY PROPOSED MATT TALK TONIGHT ABOUT REDUCING THE FDR FROM POINT 452 POINT FOUR, THREE.

[02:45:09]

AMANDA TIMCHAK (SHE/HERS): IS THIS ENOUGH DOES THIS LEVEL OF REDUCTION TO FLIR APPROPRIATELY ADDRESS THE CONCERNS THAT NEIGHBORS HAVE BEEN VOICING THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS AND OUR OVERALL CONCERN ABOUT OVER DEVELOPMENT IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

AMANDA TIMCHAK (SHE/HERS): AS YOU ALL KNOW AND I'VE HEARD FOR THREE YEARS NOW, THE POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT ON THE SOUTHERN END OF AS BORN CAMPUS IS REALLY A TOP WORRY FOR RESIDENTS AND ALSO FOR THE OSBORN SCHOOL PARENTS.

AMANDA TIMCHAK (SHE/HERS): THIS IS THE PART OF CAMPUS THAT SURROUNDS OUR LOCAL PUBLIC SCHOOL FACES OSBORNE ROAD AND IT'S NEAREST TO THE THE GLEN OAKS AND THE RIDE GARDENS NEIGHBORHOODS.

AMANDA TIMCHAK (SHE/HERS): AND WHILE WE DO UNDERSTAND THE PROCEDURE IN THE PROCESS OF THE THE TWO STEP ZONING PLANNING PROCESS, THERE REMAIN REALLY BIG CHALLENGES IN THAT PROCEDURE AS IT SAID OUT.

AMANDA TIMCHAK (SHE/HERS): CONCERNS REMAIN THAT IF THE ZONING PASSES, THAT THE FAA ARE AT POINT THREE BUILD OUT WOULD BE CONCENTRATED ON THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE CAMPUS.

AMANDA TIMCHAK (SHE/HERS): AND WHILE WE ALL HAVE HEARD AND UNDERSTAND THAT THE HUSBAND DOESN'T NECESSARILY KNOW WHAT IT'S PLANNING TO DO IN THE FUTURE AND NEEDS TO CONDUCT ITS MARKET STUDIES.

AMANDA TIMCHAK (SHE/HERS): WE ALSO KNOW THAT THEY HAVE STATED REPEATEDLY THAT BUILDING OUT THIS THIS 55 AND OLDER INDEPENDENT LIVING BUSINESS.

AMANDA TIMCHAK (SHE/HERS): WHICH INCLUDES LIVING SPACES AND ALSO THIS AMENITY CLUBHOUSE IS ONE OF THE PRIMARY GOALS OF THE ENVISION PLAN.

AMANDA TIMCHAK (SHE/HERS): AND WE'VE ALSO TALKED ABOUT MOVING THINGS AROUND ON THEIR CAMPUS, BUT WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE.

AMANDA TIMCHAK (SHE/HERS): VERY WELL, LAID OUT INTENDED USE AREAS ON THEIR CAMPUS AND THAT THE INDEPENDENT LIVING PORTION DOES RESIDE ON THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THEIR CAMPUS AND WE'VE ALSO SEEN THE ILLUSTRATIVE SITE DIAGRAM WHICH, WHILE JUST ILLUSTRATIVE DID SHOW A MAJORITY OF BUILD OUT HABIT IN.

AMANDA TIMCHAK (SHE/HERS): YOUR CLASSES THAT WE'RE ALL VERY FOCUSED ON.

AMANDA TIMCHAK (SHE/HERS): SO I'M SORRY I SPOKE LONGER THAN I WANTED TO, BUT I GUESS, I JUST WANT TO SAY, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP US CONTINUE TO THINK ABOUT THE FLIR WE APPRECIATE THE THE CONCESSIONS THAT HAVE BEEN GIVEN, BUT LET'S CONTINUE TO DIVE IN ON IF THAT'S THE RIGHT NUMBER.

AMANDA TIMCHAK (SHE/HERS): TO BENEFIT THE OSBORNE AND TO MAKE THE BEST OF OUR RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THANK YOU.

KRISTEN WILSON: MICHAEL.

MICHAEL COTE: HI MICHAEL CURTIS.

MICHAEL COTE: I MOVED HERE FOR 23 YEARS I'M NOT GOING TO GO INTO A LOT OF DETAIL I'VE WRITTEN SEVERAL LETTERS ON THIS MATTER TO THE COUNCIL SO THERE'S SOMEWHERE IN THE RECORD, I SUPPOSE, BUT I'M AGAINST THE PROPOSAL FOR ALL THE REASONS THAT HAVE BEEN.

MICHAEL COTE: PUT OUT BY THE NEIGHBORS TONIGHT, THE TRAFFIC, THE VISUAL POLLUTION, THE POTENTIAL FLOOD DAMAGE THE INTERFERENCE WITH THE SCHOOL, THE TRAFFIC, ETC, ETC, ETC, AND I HAVE TO SAY JUST TWO QUICK POINTS.

MICHAEL COTE: I UNDERSTAND THAT SONY LOGS SHOULD BE FLEXIBLE.

MICHAEL COTE: TO TAKE ACCOUNT OF CHANGING CIRCUMSTANCES, BUT I DON'T THINK THAT IT SHOULD JUST BE A GIVEN WITH ANY BUSINESS WHO WANTS TO GET A ZONING CHANGE TO FURTHER THEIR BUSINESS SHOULD BE GRANTED THAT THAT CHANGE THAT SEEMS TO BE WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE SAME, UNFORTUNATELY.

MICHAEL COTE: UM SECONDLY, I DON'T LIKE THE, I FEEL THAT THE OSBORNE HAS.

MICHAEL COTE: REALLY, PLAYED A LITTLE BIT OF A SHELL GAME HERE THERE'S NO FIRM COMMITMENT ON THEIR PART AS TO WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO IT'S ALL ABOUT WELL WE'LL FIGURE ALL THAT OUT LATER AFTER YOU GIVE US THE WIDEST POSSIBLE SCOPE.

MICHAEL COTE: FOR WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AND THEN THEREFORE WELL BEING THEY KICK THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION BUT AT THAT POINT, ANY OBJECTIONS, I CAN IMAGINE YOUR ARGUMENT WOULD BE WELL WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS WITHIN THE SCOPE OF ITS OWN SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A CATCH 22.

MICHAEL COTE: THIS CONVERSATION IS THAT PEOPLE HAVE POINTED OUT IT'S GONE ON FOR THREE AND A HALF YEARS I'M SURE EVERYBODY'S JUST A SECOND DESIGN.

MICHAEL COTE: BUT I REALLY DON'T THINK THAT THIS SHOULD BE APPROVED UNTIL THE OSBORNE STEPS UP WITH SOME FIRM COMMITMENT THAT CAN BE DISCUSSED SO THAT WE.

MICHAEL COTE: THANK YOU.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THANK YOU.

KRISTEN WILSON: LOVELY UNIVERSE OR EVERS.

LESLIE EBERS: HI MY NAME IS LESLIE BURRS I LIVE AT 138 OSBORNE ROAD.

LESLIE EBERS: THANK YOU FOR SITTING THROUGH YET ANOTHER VERY LONG MEDIAN ABOUT THIS.

[02:50:05]

LESLIE EBERS: BY ATTENDING ALL THESE MEETINGS.

LESLIE EBERS: ONE OF WHICH IS LIKE THE TRAGIC ISSUE THAT OCCURRED DOWN ON OAKLAND BEACH JUST THE OTHER END OF OUR ROAD ONCE THINGS GET TO PLANNING, IT IS TOO LATE, SO THAT WAS MADE ABUNDANTLY CLEAR TO US BECAUSE HANDS WERE TIED, EVEN THOUGH.

LESLIE EBERS: THERE WERE ISSUES AT PLAY THEY WERE WITHIN THEIR LEGAL RIGHTS, AND SO WE KNOW THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE HEARD AT THIS POINT AND THAT'S WHY WE FEEL SO STRONGLY ABOUT IT THIS ISN'T ABOUT GOOD NEIGHBORS AND BAD NEIGHBORS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT I'VE HAD A GREAT TIME LIVING NEXT TO.

LESLIE EBERS: THAT THE OSBORN HOME AS IT IS NOW, ONE THING I DID WANT TO POINT OUT IS THAT.

LESLIE EBERS: YOU KNOW IT'S COME UP A FEW TIMES AND THROUGHOUT THESE COURSE OF YEARS THE MASTER PLAN LACKING HAS COME UP OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND I'M UNSURE AS TO WHY WE AREN'T MOVING FORWARD ON THAT IN.

LESLIE EBERS: A KIND OF FAST MANNER, I MEAN IT SEEMS KIND OF IMPORTANT WHEN WE JUST KEEP GETTING ALL OF THIS FLOODING, I MEAN I WAS PART OF THE ROWING COMMUNITY THAT.

LESLIE EBERS: YOU KNOW, WE WERE BEGGING TO HAVE DREDGING IT'S IT'S A BIGGER COMMUNITY ISSUE THAN JUST THIS BUILDING HERE.

LESLIE EBERS: I THINK THAT IF WE LOOK AT THE FACT THAT THEY ARE CAPABLE OF BUILDING NOW ON A SIZABLE PIECE OF LAND.

LESLIE EBERS: I THINK THAT, GENERALLY SPEAKING, THE NEIGHBORS WOULD BE BETTER OFF SAYING OKAY SO THEY'RE GOING TO BUILD THIS ONE BIG BUILDING.

LESLIE EBERS: AND THEN THEY'LL SEE HOW THAT WORKS OUT AND IN A COUPLE OF YEARS, THEY WANT TO BUILD ANOTHER BUILDING, THEN THEY APPLY FOR FAR INCREASE, BUT TO GO NOW IT'S NOT QUITE A 50% INCREASE, BUT STILL QUITE LARGE.

LESLIE EBERS: I MEAN IT'S HARD FOR US TO SIT BACK AND WATCH THIS HAPPEN AROUND US, BECAUSE HONESTLY, EVEN THOSE THAT LIVE AT THE OSBORNE HOME DON'T EXACTLY KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING.

LESLIE EBERS: I TRIED TO LOOK BACK, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY MEETINGS, THERE WAS A GENTLEMAN AT ONE POINT WHEN WE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THEM BUILDING.

LESLIE EBERS: WHERE THE GARDEN COTTAGES WHERE THEY SAID THEY WOULD NEVER DO THAT I LIVED THERE AND THEN MY HEART BROKE FOR THAT AND THEN BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE DRAWING SHOWED IS THAT IT WOULD BE RIGHT, WHERE THE GARDEN COLLEGES ARE.

LESLIE EBERS: AND THEY REALIZED THAT NOTHING IS SEALED IN STONE, BUT THAT MAKES IT ALL THE MORE DIFFICULT FOR THOSE OF US TO LIVE NEARBY TO WRAP OUR MINDS AROUND.

LESLIE EBERS: IT DO I KNOW I'M RUNNING OUT OF TIME, BUT JOHN LEONARD BROUGHT UP A POINT AND I LAUGHED BECAUSE I THOUGHT THE SAME THING WHEN YOU HAVE THE DRAWINGS.

LESLIE EBERS: AND YOU JUST HAVE A BUNCH OF CHRISTMAS.

LESLIE EBERS: IT'S HORRIFYING WE DON'T WANT TO LOOK AT CHRISTMAS TREES AND I GET THAT IT WAS JUST A DRAWING FOR PLEASE DON'T DO THAT, PLEASE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THANK YOU.

LESLIE EBERS: THANK YOU.

KATHY GRAINGER HOBBINS: AND I'D LIKE TO SAY OSBORNE IS TRULY A VERY SPECIAL PLACE IT'S VERY NEAR AND DEAR TO ME I'VE HAD FAMILY MEMBERS THAT HAVE LIVED THERE.

KATHY GRAINGER HOBBINS: I'VE HAD FAMILY MEMBERS THAT HAVE USED THE PAVILION MANY TIMES AND IT'S A LOVELY PLACE AND MANY OF MY PARENTS FRIENDS RESIDE AT THE OSBORNE I'D LOVE TO SEE THE OSBORNE SUCCEED FOR YEARS TO COME.

KATHY GRAINGER HOBBINS: I'M VERY CONCERNED WITH MANY, MANY ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN MENTIONED, AND I DON'T NEED TO CONCEDE CONTINUE TO MENTION THEM.

KATHY GRAINGER HOBBINS: I THINK SOME IMPORTANT POINTS, OR WE ALL KNOW THAT ONCE ZONING CHANGES ARE GRANTED THERE WAS NOTHING ANYONE CAN DO, AS IS EVIDENT, WITH THE CURRENT ZONING LAWS AND DEVELOPMENT IF ZONING COMPLIANT NOBODY NOTHING, NOTHING RESIDENTS CAN DO.

KATHY GRAINGER HOBBINS: IF IT'S QUOTE ZONING COMPLIANT.

KATHY GRAINGER HOBBINS: THE ATTORNEY THAT SPOKE EARLIER ON, SO I DON'T REMEMBER HIS NAME, HE MADE A VERY GOOD POINT ABOUT THE TOWN STUDYING THE ISSUE WHICH I PRESUME IS BEING DONE, AND POSSIBLY A 3D MODEL, A 3D MODEL WOULD REALLY HELP TREMENDOUSLY FOR THE ENTIRE PROJECT FOR EVERYTHING.

KATHY GRAINGER HOBBINS: IF AGAIN IF A ZONING CHANGES AWARDED THEN WHAT'S TO SAY THAT ALL THESE OTHER APPLICATIONS THROUGHOUT TOWN RIGHT WE REQUEST CHANGES AND THEN THERE WERE CHRIS VARIANCES AND YOU GO ON AND ON AND ON.

[02:55:10]

KATHY GRAINGER HOBBINS: I'D LOVE TO SEE SOME SORT OF PLAN WITH THE EXISTING LAND IF THAT'S POSSIBLE THE OSBORNE IS A WONDERFUL ASSET DERIVE.

KATHY GRAINGER HOBBINS: I IMAGINE THE PLAN WILL BE A GOOD ONE, ONCE IN PLACE IN ONE SHOWN TO ALL THE RESIDENTS SO HOPEFULLY THE OSBORNE IN THE RYE RESIDENTS CAN TRULY WORK TOGETHER TO COME UP WITH A PLAN THAT'S BENEFICIAL FOR ALL.

KATHY GRAINGER HOBBINS: THANK YOU VERY MUCH THAT'S IT.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: MR MAYOR, I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT AFTER IF THESE MOVES THROUGH WITH ZONING.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THESE PLANS, BECAUSE THE LAST TWO SPEAKERS ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT AESTHETICS THESE PLANS WILL GO, NOT JUST TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR WATER MANAGEMENT AND SITES THAT DEVELOPMENT AND ALL OF THAT.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT THEY ALSO GO TO THE BR AND THEY ALSO GO, SO IF THESE BOARDS AND KATHY GRANGER KNOWS, BECAUSE SHE SERVES ON THE BOARD OF ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THEY ARE OTHER RESIDENTS OF RYE, WHO VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME AND THEIR EXPERTISE AND THEY WANT TO HAVE THE BEST OUTCOME.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: FOR THE AESTHETICALLY SPEAKING OR FOR WATER MANAGEMENT PURPOSES, SO THESE DOESN'T END HERE, AND YOU CAN'T TRUST ANYONE ELSE.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THESE ARE NEIGHBORS THESE ARE YOUR NEIGHBORS WHO VOLUNTEERED THEIR TIME AND THEIR EXPERTISE TO MAKE SURE THAT RIGHT REMAINS A BEAUTIFUL TOWN, SO I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THANK YOU, AND THEN I'LL ADD THERE HAVE BEEN REFERENCES TO PEOPLE'S LETTERS AND.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WE APPRECIATE PEOPLE REFERENCING THEIR LETTERS, I CAN ONLY SPEAK FOR MYSELF, BUT I THINK I HAVE READ EVERY LETTER, AND I WOULD IMAGINE THAT MY COLLEAGUES HAVE DONE THE SAME, SO YOUR RELIANCE UPON YOUR LETTERS IS NOT MISPLACED.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WELCOME SUE.

SUE DROUIN: HI EVERYBODY CAN HEAR ME YES.

SUE DROUIN: I'M SO GLAD YOU YOU READ ALL MY LETTERS.

SUE DROUIN: IT'S SOUTER AND 57 MOREHEAD DRIVE.

SUE DROUIN: I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT THERE WERE 122 CALLERS ON THIS ZOOM MEETING AND I'M INCREDIBLY PROUD OF EVERYONE WHO HAS COME FORWARD OSBORNE HOME RESIDENTS AND NEIGHBORS AS WELL WITH THEIR CONCERNS, THIS IS DEMOCRACY.

SUE DROUIN: I WOULD ALSO NOTE THAT ALL OF THE COLORS HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLY RESPECTFUL AND HAVE NOT INSULTED THE OSBORNE RESIDENTS OR THEIR STAFF AS A COMMUNITY, WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO HEAR CONCERNS AND EVIDENCE RIGHT NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS, NEED TO BE ENCOURAGED TO BE ENGAGED NOT SCOLDED.

[03:05:13]

SUE DROUIN: INCLUDING TRAFFIC FLOODING PEDESTRIAN NEIGHBORHOOD AND HISTORIC CHARACTER AND ALL A STONE'S THROW FROM OSBORNE SCHOOLS CLASSROOMS AND PLAYGROUNDS AND SERIOUSLY IMPACTING THE HISTORIC BOSTON POST ROAD CORRIDOR.

SUE DROUIN: ALL WITHOUT COMMITTING TO ANY CONCRETE PLAN THAT WE CAN SEE.

SUE DROUIN: ONE CALLER POINTED OUT THAT THERE IS NO EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO THEIR BUSINESS MODEL, AND IN FACT THEY ARE THRIVING AND WILL CONTINUE TO THRIVE SHOULD NOTHING EVER GET APPROVED.

SUE DROUIN: BUT I WOULD LIKE TO PICK UP ON THE LINE OF QUESTIONING BY COUNCIL MEMBER NATHAN.

SUE DROUIN: PERHAPS THE PROPOSED USE COULD INCLUDE RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES OR PERMANENT PROTECTION.

SUE DROUIN: AND I'D LIKE TO INVITE THE OSBORNE TEAM TO SPEAK MORE ABOUT THAT, OR AT LEAST CONSIDER CONSIDER POTENTIAL SET ASIDES FOR THE COMMUNITY, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME TONIGHT.

DAIRE BROWNE: DOING ALL THE HARD WORK AROUND THIS AND I RECOGNIZE IT'S BEEN A LONG RUN I'M MY NAME IS DR BROWN AND I LIVE AT 129 GRAND DO YOU OFTEN YEAH SO I LIVE, PROBABLY AS FAR AWAY FROM THE OSBORNE AS POSSIBLE.

DAIRE BROWNE: I REALLY RESPECT THE OSBORNE EVERYTHING IT DOES MATCH AND HIS TEAM AND AND THE VALUE THAT IT DELIVERS TO THE COMMUNITY.

DAIRE BROWNE: I WOULD JUST ASK MARTIN THE TEAM TO CONSIDER THE SIZE AND SCALE OF THE VARIANTS THEY'RE LOOKING FOR HERE AND THE IMPACT THAT IT'S HAVING ON THE LOCAL COMMUNITY.

DAIRE BROWNE: AND PERHAPS CONSIDER COMING BACK WITH SOMETHING SMALLER, MORE REASONABLE WITH A CLEAR AND CONCRETE PLAN AROUND US.

DAIRE BROWNE: SEPARATELY I'D ASKED MAYOR CONE AND THE CITY COUNCIL TO THINK HARD ABOUT GRANTING VARIANTS OF THIS SIZE, WHAT CONCERNS ME THE MOST IS IF THIS IS GRANTED IT COULD BE ON OUR DOORSTEP, ON THE OTHER END OF TOWN NEXT.

DAIRE BROWNE: I THINK VARIANTS VARIANCES OF THIS SIZE, NEED TO BE CONSIDERED AS PART OF A MASTER PLAN WITH COORDINATION PLANNING.

DAIRE BROWNE: I ALSO AGREE WITH ALL THE PEOPLE WHO SAID IT HERE WE MOVED FROM BROOKLYN TO RYE, I SAW THE RESULTS OF BAD CITY PLANNING AND WAS ONE OF THE REASONS WE LEFT.

DAIRE BROWNE: AND THE REASON IS, YOU NEED TO COORDINATE LARGE VARIANCES LIKE THIS, AS PART OF A MASTER PLAN DON'T GIVE THEM OUT ONCE A TIME.

DAIRE BROWNE: AND MAKE SURE THEY'RE WELL THOUGHT OUT I'D ENCOURAGE BOTH BOTH SIDES, THE COMMUNITY THE THE OSBORNE TEAM TO CONTINUE WORKING ON THIS, WE WANT THE RIGHT SOLUTION, WE WANT THE SPORT TO BE VIABLE, AND I HOPE THAT BOTH SIDES WILL DO THAT.

DAIRE BROWNE: AND I'LL GIVE MY TIME, AND THANK YOU WELL, THANK YOU.

DANIELAARREDONDO: THANK YOU FOR THE EXTRA THREE MINUTES, I APPRECIATE THE TIME AGAIN, I KNOW IT'S LATE AND YOU'VE HEARD SO MANY DIFFERENT VOICES.

DANIELAARREDONDO: BUT I WANTED THE LAST POINT THAT I WANTED TO MAKE IS THAT, ON THE ONE SIDE.

DANIELAARREDONDO: AND I SAY THIS VERY RESPECTFULLY I APPRECIATE THE OSBORNE I APPRECIATE THE RESIDENTS, YOU KNOW I THINK THEY'RE BLESSED I THINK THEY HAVE THEY LIVE IN A BEAUTIFUL COMMUNITY, AND WHEN I WALK THOSE GROUNDS, HE WAS HEAVENLY SO.

DANIELAARREDONDO: I WANT TO SAY THAT ON ONE SIDE, THE OSBORN COMES COMES WITH A VERY LARGE REQUEST WITH A VERY BIG REQUEST, I APPRECIATE THAT MATCH, YOU HAVE DECREASED IT, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S ENOUGH I DON'T KNOW.

DANIELAARREDONDO: I FEEL VERY ANXIOUS ABOUT THIS BEING SO CLOSE TO THE SCHOOL AND BEING SO MASSIVE.

DANIELAARREDONDO: BUT, ON THE ONE SIDE, YOU MENTIONED THAT YOU NEED THIS TO SURVIVE, BUT ON THE OTHER SIDE, YOU MENTIONED THAT WE STILL NEED TO DO A MARKETING STUDY AND CONSULT WITH OUR OWN COMMUNITY.

DANIELAARREDONDO: AND WHEN WE FIRST SPOKE, YOU MENTIONED THAT YOU KNOW YOU WOULD TALK TO THEM, AND YOU WOULD OFFER THEM INCENTIVES AND FOR ME THAT MARKETING STUDY NEEDS TO BE DONE.

[03:10:06]

DANIELAARREDONDO: I WROTE EVERYTHING ON MY LETTER I APPRECIATE THAT EVERYONE WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO READ IT, AND I HOPE THIS IS A COLLABORATIVE PROCESS.

DANIELAARREDONDO: LIKE I'M SORRY, BUT WE ARE VERY LIKE YOU WERE VERY TIRED AND WE'RE FRUSTRATED AND WE SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE CHILDREN.

DANIELAARREDONDO: LIKE US, YOU WANT US TO CONSIDER THE RESIDENTS OF THE OSBORNE HOMECARE I'VE REALLY, REALLY WANTED TO CONSIDER THE CHILDREN OF THE SCHOOL.

DANIELAARREDONDO: IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT MOTIVATES ME TO BE PART OF THIS PROCESS ARE THOSE CHILDREN.

DANIELAARREDONDO: THERE ARE 500 KIDS AND THEY'RE SLEEPING RIGHT NOW WE'RE HERE, SPEAKING FOR THEM, AND WE OWE IT TO THEM TO FIND.

DANIELAARREDONDO: A GOOD YOU KNOW A GOOD LIFESTYLE, A GOOD LEARNING OPPORTUNITY, FREE FROM ANY STRESS FROM ANY DISRUPTION FROM ANYTHING THAT YOU KNOW CAN CAN.

DANIELAARREDONDO: REALLY AFFECT THEIR EDUCATION AND THEIR WELL BEING SO AS WE ARE RESPECTFUL TO THE OSBORNE COMMUNITY, WE ALSO REALLY WANT YOU TO BE REALLY THOUGHTFUL ABOUT THE CHILDREN AND CONSIDER HOW CLOSE THIS IS TO OUR SCHOOL THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THANK YOU.

KRISTEN WILSON: RANDY MARTLAND.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WELCOME RANDY.

ANDY.

UNMUTE I THINK RANDY.

KRISTEN WILSON: AND THEN MUTED.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I STILL NEEDED.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: TO COME BACK.

KRISTEN WILSON: WE WILL WE HAVE A COUPLE NEW HANDS NOW.

RANDY MOTLAND: OKAY, CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: YEAH YES.

RANDY MOTLAND: SORRY ABOUT THAT MY NAME IS RANDY MARTLAND AND I LIVE IT TO THE OSBORNE AT 5005 TEAL ROAD LIVE HERE WITH MY WIFE AND WE'VE BEEN HERE FOR THREE AND A HALF YEARS.

RANDY MOTLAND: WE HAVE FOUND THE OSBORNE IS A GREAT PLACE TO RETIRE, HOWEVER, THAT SAID THE OSBORNE HAS BECOME DATED NO NEW BUILDINGS HAVE BEEN CONSTRUCTED IN 25 YEARS.

RANDY MOTLAND: AND, AS PREVIOUSLY HAS BEEN SAID, THE OSBORNE NEEDS TO STAY COMPETITIVE AND TO REMAIN A TOP RATED FACILITY IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TO ATTRACT INTERESTING AND VIBRANT NEW RESIDENCE NEW RETIREMENT HOMES ARE BEING CONSTRUCTED IN PURCHASE AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES.

RANDY MOTLAND: AND TO BE COMPETITIVE, WE NEED A NEW CENTRAL AUDITORIUM SOCIAL CLUBHOUSE MORE MEETING ROOMS NEW DINING ROOMS LARGER THEATER EXPANDED GYM AMONG OTHER ITEMS AND FORTUNATELY THE OSBORNE HAS A 56 ACRE CAMPUS WHICH IS LARGE ENOUGH TO PROVIDE FOR THIS EXPANSION.

RANDY MOTLAND: UNFORTUNATELY, AS HAS BEEN SAID, I THINK THE OSBORN ZONING APPLICATION HAS CREATED CONTROVERSY, SOME OF WHICH I THINK YOU DO TO MISUNDERSTANDINGS, ONE OF WHICH IS THE OSBORNE IS A NONPROFIT CORPORATION IT'S NOT A HUGE.

RANDY MOTLAND: PROFIT MAKING CORPORATION, AND THE CONTROVERSY IS REALLY BETWEEN THE NEIGHBORS WHO LIVE AT THE OSBORNE AND THE NEIGHBORS WHO LIVE IN THE ADJACENT COMMUNITY.

RANDY MOTLAND: ONE THING WHICH I THINK HAS NOT BEEN POINTED OUT, IS EVEN THOUGH WE PAY TAXES AND OBVIOUSLY VOTERS IN BRI.

RANDY MOTLAND: WE DO NOT SEND ANY OF OUR WE DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN THAT GO TO THE SCHOOLS, SO THE BENEFIT OF THE EXPANSION OF THE OSBORNE IS THERE GOING TO BE MORE TAXES PAID TO THE TOWN OF RYE.

RANDY MOTLAND: A MAJOR PORTION OF WHICH GOES TO THE SCHOOLS AND WE DO NOT IN ANY WAY BURDEN THE SCHOOL, SO THIS IS A REAL PLUS FOR THE TOWN OF RYE.

RANDY MOTLAND: ALSO, WE ARE THE RIGHT RESIDENTS WHO ARE MOST CONCERNED ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION PROBLEM, MOST OF THE NEW BUILDINGS THAT WOULD BE BUILT AT THE RAW AT.

RANDY MOTLAND: AT THE OSBORNE WILL BE IN THE CENTER OF CAMPUS FAR FROM OSBORNE ROAD BUT RIGHT IN OUR MIDST, THEREFORE, YOU CAN BE ASSURED.

[03:15:02]

RANDY MOTLAND: PLEASE SUPPORT OUR ZONING APPLICATION TO ENABLE US TO REMAIN COMPETITIVE AND VITAL OVER TIME APPROVAL IS THIS APPLICATION WILL BE.

RANDY MOTLAND: LIVE IN RIGHT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THANK YOU.

KRISTEN WILSON: AND AT THAT EITHER.

DAN ADLER: HELLO, DAN ADLER 62 ELMWOOD AVENUE THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND THE WORK THAT YOU DO ON A DAY TO DAY, AND WITH THIS ISSUE, I AM NEW TO THIS ISSUE, RECENTLY.

DAN ADLER: AND I WILL BE VERY BRIEF BECAUSE IT'S LATE BUT HEARING FRUSTRATIONS AND ALL PARTIES AND BOTH SIDES.

DAN ADLER: JUST PUT THE LINK, THE TIME HAS GONE ON, AND THE FEELING OF BEING PITTED AGAINST ONE ANOTHER, WHEN WE'RE NEIGHBORS IS NOT A GOOD FEELING AND NO ONE WANTS TO FEEL THAT WAY THEY WANT TO FEEL LIKE THERE'S NO COME BACK TO BE BENEFICIAL TO ALL.

DAN ADLER: THE ONE THING I WOULD ASK THE COUNCIL MEMBERS TO ALL THINK ABOUT IT AND MAKE THE DECISION FOR ZONING CHANGES I THINK IS A BIG DECISION.

DAN ADLER: EVEN IF THERE IS PLANNING STEPS THAT GO FORWARD ONCE THAT DECISIONS MADE YOU CAN'T TAKE IT BACK AND THE IMPACT THAT THAT WOULD HAVE IT'S SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE.

DAN ADLER: YOU KNOW, REALLY WEIGHED WHEN THAT DECISION IS MADE, BECAUSE WHILE THERE MIGHT THERE ARE THINGS IN PLACE TO PUT LIMITS, THEY DON'T ALWAYS.

DAN ADLER: ACHIEVE THE LIMITS THAT PEOPLE HOPE THAT THEY CAN, AND THAT WHEN YOU MAKE A ZONING CHANGE FROM THE APPLICANT THE GOAL IS, WILL IT BETTER, THE WHOLE CITY AND ALL THE RESIDENTS.

DAN ADLER: AS MUCH AS YOU CAN LOOK AT IT TO BE A NET POSITIVE FOR EVERYBODY, AND IT SHOULDN'T BE LOOKED AT, NOT SAYING YOU ARE.

DAN ADLER: JUST FOR THE APPLICANTS NEEDS, AND YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT DOING THAT, BUT SAYING, PLEASE LOOK AT IT FOR.

DAN ADLER: AND I KNOW YOU'RE LISTENING TO EVERYONE, AS A WHOLE DOES DOES THIS IS OWNING CHANGE HELP RY AS A WHOLE AND REALLY CONSIDER THAT, AS YOU MAKE YOUR DECISION.

DAN ADLER: AS I HEAR YOU KNOW ALL THESE NEIGHBORS ANOTHER RESIDENT SPEAK OUT TO HOW THIS WILL IMPACT THEIR LIVES AND THEIR CHILDREN'S LIVES TO SCHOOL AND THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR TIME.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THANK YOU.

JULIA LOVALLO: THANK YOU, MY NAME IS JULIA VOLO AND I LIVE AT 27 HUGHES AVENUE, I REQUEST THAT THE CITY COUNCIL THOUGH NOW.

JULIA LOVALLO: I SEE NO BENEFIT TO THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS FOR THIS SPECIAL REQUEST TO INCREASE THE OSBORNE'S FA ARE.

JULIA LOVALLO: MY CONCERNS ARE THE NEIGHBORHOOD AESTHETIC PROPERTY VALUES FLOODING OUR PHONE FLOODED, FOR THE FIRST TIME DURING IDA.

JULIA LOVALLO: I'M WORRIED ABOUT TRAFFIC I'M WORRIED ABOUT PUBLIC SAFETY YEARS OF CONSTRUCTION, WE ARE YOUNG FAMILY OF SIX OUR YOUNGEST CHILD JUST 16 MONTHS OLD.

JULIA LOVALLO: TO CURRENTLY AT OSBORNE WE TRAVEL ALONG FEEL RUDE, TO TAKE ONE OF OUR CHILDREN TO THE SYNAGOGUE FOR NURSERY SCHOOL, WE PLAN TO BE HERE FOR A VERY LONG TIME, THIS PROPOSAL IS JUST TOO BIG.

JULIA LOVALLO: I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT OF HI THANK YOU.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THANK YOU.

CHRIS GRASECK: OH, CAN YOU HEAR ME.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: HELLO.

CHRIS GRASECK: HI THIS IS BETSY GRAPHIC FROM FOUR TO ONE PARK AVENUE IN NEW YORK.

CHRIS GRASECK: MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE BEEN IN RESIDENTS OF RIDE FOR 22 YEARS, AND YOU KNOW WE LOVE LIVING HERE, WE ARE OPPOSED TO REQUESTING TO WE ARE OPPOSED TO SAYING YES TO THE VARIANTS WE WOULD CONCUR WITH THE PRIOR SPEAKER AND REQUEST THAT CITY COUNCIL VOTE NOW.

CHRIS GRASECK: I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF SPACE WITHIN THE ABILITY FOR OSBORNE TO IMPROVE ITS.

CHRIS GRASECK: BUILDING CAPACITY.

CHRIS GRASECK: TO IMPROVE ITS FACILITIES, WITHIN THE SPACE THAT THEY CURRENTLY HAVE ALREADY SO I DON'T SEE ANY REASON WHY IT NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED, WE DO HAVE.

CHRIS GRASECK: THE FLOODING ISSUES, THE ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES, THE AESTHETIC TO CONSIDER, AND I KNOW THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF THE SET ALREADY SO I JUST WANTED TO YOU KNOW ADD OUR NAME AND ADDRESS TO THAT LIST.

CHRIS GRASECK: AND I ALSO WONDER.

CHRIS GRASECK: SINCE THERE'S SO MUCH OUTREACH FROM THE COMMUNITY ON THIS TOPIC, YOU KNOW IF IF THERE SHOULD BE EITHER YOU KNOW MORE LISTENING.

[03:20:07]

CHRIS GRASECK: THANK YOU.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THANK YOU.

KRISTEN WILSON: LAST SPEAKER IS MARIANNE HAYES.

MARY ANN HAINES: HI, THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME ONCE AGAIN, I JUST WANTED TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY, SORRY, FIRST OF ALL I LOVE IT TO COOLIDGE AVENUE.

MARY ANN HAINES: I WANT TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY, JUST TO MENTION A COUPLE OF POINTS FROM THE MEETING THIS EVENING, JUST FOR THE SAKE OF THE RECORD THE FIRST POINT BEING THAT, ACCORDING TO MR COIN EARLIER AND THE RAMBLE PRESENTATION.

MARY ANN HAINES: AN INCREASE IN IMPERVIOUS SURFACES WILL RESULT IN INCREASED FLOODING AND I'M JUST WONDERING WHY WE WOULD CONSIDER ALLOWING FOR A 50% INCREASE IN AN FDR.

MARY ANN HAINES: AND AN INCREASE IN IMPERVIOUS SURFACE AT THE HIGHEST POINT IN THE AREA, AGAIN I DON'T EXPECT A QUESTION TO BE ANSWERED AT THIS POINT, BUT I'D LIKE TO POSE IT.

MARY ANN HAINES: THE SECOND POINT IS WITH RESPECT TO VISUALS AND I WOULD LIKE TO BRING TO THE COUNCIL'S ATTENTION THAT YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT THE NEIGHBORS THAT, BUT THE.

MARY ANN HAINES: OSBORNE'S PROPERTY DON'T VIEW THEIR PROPERTY FROM THE STREET LEVEL OR EVEN FROM AS AN OCCUPANT OF A CAR MIGHT AS THEY GO BY.

MARY ANN HAINES: WE'RE VIEWING THE OSBORN BOTH SUMMER AND WINTER FROM OUR FIRST AND SECOND STORY WINDOWS, AND SO OUR VISUAL IS VERY DIFFERENT THAN THAT WHICH HAS BEEN PRESENTED TO YOU IN THE RENDERINGS BY THE OSBORN.

MARY ANN HAINES: MY THIRD POINT IS WITH RESPECT TO YOUR TRAFFIC STUDY WE DO, AND I THINK OTHERS HAVE MADE THE SAME POINT THAT WE DON'T ALL LIVE AT THE OSBORN SCHOOL, WE MAY ALL COME AND GO FROM THE OSBORN BUT WE LIVE IN THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES, WE ALL DRIVE ON THE ROADS.

MARY ANN HAINES: AND THE TRAFFIC OR ANY TRAFFIC THAT THE OSBORN ADS WHETHER IT'S THE OSBORN ROAD OR TO PLAY LAND PARKWAY OR TO SAY LAND ACCESS WILL ULTIMATELY AFFECT ALL OF US.

MARY ANN HAINES: MY FOURTH POINT IS THAT THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT THE ARTS DISTRICT, I DID A QUICK SEARCH OF THE CITY CODE DURING THIS CALL, APPARENTLY, FOR AN HOUR TO DISTRICT ITS OWN FOR PRIVATE HOMES, WITH A MINIMUM MINIMUM LOT SIZE OF ONE HALF OF AN ACRE.

MARY ANN HAINES: MY FIFTH POINT THAT I WANTED TO MAKE WAS WITH RESPECT TO THE ILLUSTRATOR DIAGRAM THAT WAS PRESENTED BY THE OSBORN.

MARY ANN HAINES: MY UNDERSTANDING AND PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG IS THAT THEY CURRENTLY HAVE 97,000 SQUARE FEET ALLOWABLE IN THEIR FDR.

MARY ANN HAINES: WITH THE DIAGRAM THAT THEY PRESENTED THAT WOULD ALLOW THEM 10,000 SQUARE FEET, FOR THEIR DINING HALL.

MARY ANN HAINES: 65,000 SQUARE FEET, FOR THEIR INDEPENDENT LIVING AND CLUBHOUSE BUILDING AND 20,000 SQUARE FEET FOR THE.

MARY ANN HAINES: REHAB IN HOMECARE BUILDING WHICH COMES TO 95,000 SQUARE FEET SO I'M WONDERING WHY THEY WOULD REQUEST AN INCREASE OF FLIR TO THIS DEGREE WHEN MUCH OF WHAT THEY WANT TO BUILD CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH WHAT THEY CURRENTLY HAVE AVAILABLE TO THEM.

MARY ANN HAINES: AND JUST WITH RESPECT TO MY LAST POINT, THERE WAS A COMMENT MADE EARLIER ABOUT ZONING.

MARY ANN HAINES: AND A CHANGE IN THE USE OF THE PROPERTY, I WOULD ARGUE THAT THIS ACTUALLY IS, IN FACT, A CHANGE OF NEWS FOR THIS PROPERTY THAT ADDING A 55 PLUS INDEPENDENT LIVING COMMUNITY IS DIFFERENT.

MARY ANN HAINES: THAN THE HEALTH CARE MODEL WHICH MR ANDERSON PRESENTED IN THE INITIAL PRESENTATION TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND.

MARY ANN HAINES: WHERE HE DESCRIBED THE OSBORNE IS BOTH AN ASSISTED LIVING AND US AND YOU'RE SKILLED NURSING FACILITY, THANK YOU.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THANK YOU.

KRISTEN WILSON: MAYOR, WE HAVE A ANOTHER HAND THAT HAS BEEN RAISED JOSE SAN FRANCISCO.

JOSE FRWNCISCO: YOU.

JOSE FRWNCISCO: HEAR ME.

YES.

JOSE FRWNCISCO: YEAH OKAY THANK YOU SO MUCH, AND AGAIN I LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE WHOLE COUNCIL MAYOR FOR LISTENING.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: SO I'M GOING TO SHARE MY SCREEN NOW AND WE'LL GO OVER A COUPLE OF SLIDES WITH YOU JUST KIND OF GIVE YOU A HIGH LEVEL SUMMARY OF WHERE THE CITY FINISHED THE YEAR.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: ALRIGHT, SO.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: NEXT PAGE, SO THIS IS A HIGH LEVEL OF THE GENERAL FUND KIND OF GIVES YOU A BREAKDOWN OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF REVENUE AND EXPENDITURES.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: OVERALL, THE CITY FINISHED WITH ABOUT NET PROFIT OF $3.7 MILLION.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: WE HAD 31.375 MILLION IN CAPITAL INVESTMENT, WHICH ARE EXPENDITURES, BUT THEY'RE INVESTED IN INFRASTRUCTURE.

[03:30:07]

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: YOU'RE FINISHED WITH ABOUT $5.2 MILLION DOLLARS AND ON ASSIGNED FUND BALANCE WHICH IS 11.34% OF YOUR BUDGETED APPROPRIATIONS.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: OR, IN ESSENCE, OUR WE HAVE OUR SELF IMPOSED WELL NOW IT'S IMPOSED 10% PLAN BALANCED POLICY AND THIS NUMBER OF 5.2 MILLION, BASED ON THE 2022 BUDGETED APPROPRIATIONS LEAVES US ABOUT $616,000 OVER THAT NUMBER.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: YOU KNOW THIS LARGE SURPLUS AND THE LARGE INCOME THAT WE HAVE IS BASICALLY YOU KNOW, THE COMBINATION THAT I'VE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE, OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS IT'S BASICALLY THE CITY'S BUDGETED.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: EXPENDITURES COMING IN UNDER AND THE REVENUES OUTPERFORMING THEIR BUDGET, GIVEN THE 2022 2020 YEAR WITH COVEN TO VERY UNCERTAIN YEAR WE WERE VERY CONSERVATIVE ON OUR ESTIMATES, ESPECIALLY ON THE.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: REVENUE SIDE OF THINGS, SO AT THIS POINT IS WANTED TO GO THROUGH A COUPLE OF THE YOU KNOW THE REVENUES THAT WE TALKED ABOUT THROUGHOUT 2020 AND 2021.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: YOU KNOW THE REVENUES, OTHER THAN PROPERTY TAXES I'M HAPPY TO REPORT THAT ALL OF THESE AT RISK REVENUES THAT WE WERE WORRIED ABOUT IN 2020 BOUNCE BACK AND EXCEEDED BUDGETED EXPECTATIONS FOR 2021.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: EXCEPT FOR OBVIOUSLY INTERESTED IN COMMON, WHICH CONTINUE TO JUST GO DOWN, AND AS THE YEAR WENT ON.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: SO I THINK THAT I JUST WANT TO PUT A FINE POINT FOR THE COUNCIL AND FOR ANYBODY STILL LISTENING KEEP IT IN MIND THAT WE WE COMPLETE THE.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: BUDGET.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: AND AT THE AT THE END OF 2020 SO WE WERE.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: PREPARING AFTER THE FALL OF.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: 2029 SO WE WERE PREPARING THE BUDGET BETWEEN SEPTEMBER AND NOVEMBER OF 2020.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: STILL WITH A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF UNCERTAINTY, SO THERE IS GOING TO BE SOME VARIABILITY THESE NUMBERS BUT CHAMPION KEEP THAT IN MIND, IN LIGHT OF THE BUDGET PERIOD THAT WE WERE THAT WE WERE WORKING WITH IT.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: YEAH AND OBVIOUSLY THE ONES, THERE ARE A FEW THAT REALLY JUMP OFF THE PAGE HERE WE'LL GO THROUGH A COUPLE OF THEM QUICKLY A SALES TAX.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: WE REALLY BUDGET THAT CONSERVATIVELY OBVIOUSLY.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: WAS THE FIRST YEAR OF THE 1% RATE INCREASE COUPLED WITH KOBE WE REALLY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT THERE.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: HONESTLY WITH YOU KNOW SUPPLY SHORTAGES AND STILL A PANDEMIC GOING A LITTLE BIT 2023 MIGHT BE THE FIRST YEAR, WE SEE THE ACTUAL FULL EFFECT OF THIS 1% INCREASE, BUT AGAIN $718,000 OVER BUDGET.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: INTERESTING LEFT HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX FINISHED THE YEAR ABOUT $60,000 MORE THAN WE HAD BUDGETED FOR.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: AND ABOUT $110,000 WITH THAT CAME IN THE LAST TWO QUARTERS, SO IT REALLY YOU KNOW ACTIVITY AND TRAVEL REALLY RAMPED UP AND IN THE LAST TWO QUARTERS OF THE YEAR FRANCHISE FEES UP 170,000 HUNDRED AND 20 OF THAT IS ATTRIBUTED TO THE MULTI SETTLEMENT.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: WORKING EITHER REVENUE UP ABOUT 93,000 COMPARED TO BUDGET.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: PRETTY MUCH RETURN TO MORE SORRY.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SORRY THAT'S 120,000 OF THAT 170 OVER IS THE SETTLEMENT AND THAT'S A ONE TIME THING.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: RIGHT OKAY, YES.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: AND JULIE, A BIG A BIG CHUNK OF THAT AS WELL WE'RE.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: USING FIRST AS THE ARE ACTUALLY ALL OF THAT PLUS SOUNDS WILL BE USING FOR THE COUNCIL CHAMBER UPGRADES.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YEAH AWESOME THANK YOU, I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY IT'S NOT A.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: TREND THAT WE'RE EXPOSED ON A BIG.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: PART IN THE REVENUE, OBVIOUSLY.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: PARKING LOT WAS KIND OF RETURNING 2021 WE HAD BUDGETED LOW, TO BEGIN WITH, SO THEY'RE NOT THEY WEREN'T QUITE AT THE 2019 NUMBERS BUT DEFINITELY MORE THAN BUDGET A BUILDING PERMIT REVENUE.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: WAS UP 58% FROM 2020.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: AND OBVIOUSLY $390,000 OVER BUDGET.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: KEEP IN MIND A LOT OF THESE NUMBERS ACTUALLY.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: AS WE THEY HELPED US WITH THE 2022 BALANCING THE BUDGET THERE BECAUSE WE WERE ABLE TO INCREASE OUR ESTIMATES FOR 2022 FILMING PERMIT REVENUE UNEXPECTED KUDOS TO THE CLERK'S OFFICE THERE $75,000 FOR FILMING PERMITS THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE YEAR.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: BUILDING AND TRACK A VEHICLE AND TRAFFIC FINDS $43,000.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: YOU KNOW IT'S A HARD NUMBER TO GAUGE BUT WE'VE GOT A LOT OF OLD CASES THAT WERE UNSETTLED UNTIL 2021 SO THAT ALLOWED US TO EXCEED BUDGET EXPECTATIONS THERE PARKING FINES THAT PRETTY MUCH RETURN TO NORMAL AND 2021.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: YOU KNOW THE AFTER SIX PARKING HELPS A LITTLE BIT, BUT MOST OF THIS IS JUST COMING BACK TO NORMAL IN TERMS OF.

[03:35:04]

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: REFUND FOR YOUR EXPENDITURES IS THERE'S AN ANNUAL AUDIT DONE FOR WORKERS COMPENSATION, AND IF WE HAVE LESS PAYROLL IT MEANS WE HAVE LESS.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: YOU KNOW LESS OF A PREMIUM NEEDED, SO WE ACTUALLY GET A REFUND, IN SOME CASES ON OUR WORKERS COMP AND THAT HAPPENED AGAIN IN 2021 STATE AID REVENUE SHARING, SO WE BASICALLY WERE TOLD BY THE STATE AND.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: THAT WE WOULD BE RECEIVING A 20% CUT.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: THANKS TO THE AMERICAN RELIEF PLAN ACT WE ACTUALLY GOT ALL OF OUR MONEY BACK IN 2021 SO, EVEN THOUGH WE BUDGETED 20% LESS WE ACTUALLY GOT ALL OF THE MONEY THAT WE HAD BEEN GETTING FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: THE SAME LEVELS STATE FUNDING THERE SO AGAIN, WE WERE GOING BASED ON YOU KNOW INFORMATION FROM THE STATE, WE WEREN'T EVEN BUDGET CONSERVATIVELY THERE, WE WERE TOLD WE WEREN'T GOING TO BE GETTING OUR FULL AMOUNT, AND IN FACT WE DID.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: ANOTHER HUGE NUMBER HERE IS A MORTGAGE TAX $806,000 OVER BUDGET.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY WITH THE FEDERAL RESERVE DECREASING INTEREST RATES IS ZERO A LOT OF RE FUNDINGS AND PERSON HOMES.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: ACTIVITY, THE REAL ESTATE MARKET, YOU KNOW SO AGAIN NOT SOMETHING WE CAN EXPECT EVERY YEAR, ALTHOUGH IT IS DOING WELL THIS YEAR.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: WE WERE READY TO HIT THE 1.7 MILLION THAT WE BUDGETED ALREADY SO WE STILL HAVE FIVE MONTHS TO GO SO THAT'S GOOD NEWS, AGAIN, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THAT'S GONNA LAST.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: SPEAKING OF THE AMERICAN RELIEF PLAN ACT, THE ARPA WE RECEIVED $804,000 IN JULY OF 2021.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: AS WE SPOKE YOU MENTIONED DURING THE BUDGET PRESENTATION AND MANY OF OUR TEDX DISCUSSIONS THIS MONEY HAS BEEN EARMARKED FOR THE CAPITAL PROJECTS THAT THE CITY HAS IDENTIFIED AND IT'S ANOTHER WAS ONE SOURCE OF THIS SHITTY SAY CITIES SHARE FUNDING OF THESE PROJECTS.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: AND QUESTIONS THAT I.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: CAN JUST JUMP IN I MEAN I.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: MEAN YOU SAID IT TOO, BUT YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY WE WERE REALLY CONSERVATIVE BECAUSE WE'RE BUDGETING SEPTEMBER THROUGH OCTOBER THROUGH NOVEMBER 20 FUNNY IT WAS YOU KNOW WE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE VACCINES, YET AT THAT POINT.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: RIGHT WE'RE WE'RE LOOKING AT THE YOU KNOW WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT THE FOLLOWING YEAR, SO I THINK YOU GUYS WERE APPROPRIATELY CONSERVATIVE.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND YOU KNOW, AND OBVIOUSLY DID A GREAT JOB YOU KNOW, MAKING EVERYTHING WORK, YOU KNOW, CONSIDERING THE THE UNCERTAINTY THAT WE HAD.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT HOW MUCH LIKE YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY KIND OF COMING THROUGH THIS YEAR AND SEEING WHAT YOU'VE SEEN I KNOW IT MIGHT BE TOO EARLY TO START TALKING ABOUT THE BUDGET FOR FOR NEXT YEAR, BUT.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW HOW LIKE I DON'T KNOW I GUESS I DON'T KNOW WHAT MY QUESTION IS, HOW ARE WE DOING AND LIKE HOW MUCH I MEAN IT SEEMS TO ME WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO KIND OF GET BACK TO A NORMAL SORRY ABOUT MY DOG A NORMAL KIND OF OPERATE IN AN ENVIRONMENT WITH A NORMAL BUDGET PROCESS.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: YEAH I MEAN, YES, WE.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: OBVIOUSLY WE KIND OF KNEW WHAT THESE RESULTS ARE GOING TO BE WE'RE NOT FAR OFF BASED ON WHAT WE HAD TOLD YOU BACK IN YOU KNOW THE FALL ABOUT WHERE WE WERE GOING TO FINISH THE YEAR.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: SO WE DID TAKE A LOT OF THAT INTO CONSIDERATION FOR THE 2018 BUDGET WE DID INCREASE OUR SALES TAX BUDGET WE DID INCREASE OUR BUILDING PERMIT BACK TO PRE.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: YOU KNOW PANDEMIC LEVELS MORTGAGE TAX WE'VE BEEN BUMPED UP, BASED ON THE HISTORY STATE AID REVENUE SHARING IS NOW BACK TO THE BUDGETED AMOUNT SO, THEN YOU STARTED, WE PUT THE BUDGET BACK WHERE IT KIND OF WASN'T 2019 LITTLE OPTIMISM LITTLE CAUTIOUS IN CERTAIN AREAS, BUT AGAIN.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN SO FAR THIS YEAR, YOU KNOW BUILDING PERMIT REVENUES, WHERE IT SHOULD BE FIRST QUARTER SALES TAX WAS UP ABOUT 10% I THINK SO.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: THERE'S NOTHING THAT REALLY CONCERNS ME EVERYTHING KIND OF SEEMS WHERE IT SHOULD BE EVEN HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX FOR THE FIRST QUARTER WAS ABOUT $33,000 I SAW THAT THIS MORNING.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: AND THAT'S KIND OF IN LINE WITH MAYBE 2018 IN TERMS OF ACTIVITY LEVELS THEY'RE NOT A HUGE NUMBER BUT THERE'S NOTHING THAT REALLY JUMPS OFF THE PAGE AND SAYS SOMETHING WE SHOULD BE CONCERNED WITH IN TERMS OF THE REVENUE SIDE OF THINGS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: I MEAN, I KNOW, OF COURSE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: I WAS JUST GOING GOING TO SAY ON THE EXPENSE SIDE OF COURSE WE'VE GOT OUR CAP X PROGRAM AND A VARIETY OF OTHER NEEDS AND SO AT THE EXPENSE SIDE MAY BE DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT GREG I'M SORRY.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: I THINK, JUST TO.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: JUST A COUPLE POINTS TO ADD TO JUST COMMENTS, I THINK THAT WE CERTAINLY EMPLOYMENT FOR THE BUDGET FOR THIS YEAR.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: THAT WE DID LAST FALL WERE MUCH MORE OF A TRADITIONAL YOU KNOW TRADITIONAL TYPE OF BUDGET LESS POET IMPACT, I THINK THAT AS WE'RE GOING INTO 23.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: IT WILL AGAIN BE MORE REFLECTIVE OF LIKE NON OF NON COVEN, BUT WE ALSO NOW HAVE THE HEADWINDS OF WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE ECONOMY, SO YOU KNOW THINGS, AND YOU CAN SEE IT HERE WE GO WITH THREE OR FOUR REVENUE LINE ITEMS.

[03:40:12]

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: SO YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT WILL BE BACK TO A.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: FOCUSED ON NON COVEN APPLICATIONS, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I THINK THAT WE HAVE SOME HEADWIND CONSIDERATIONS AS WE GO INTO THE SECOND, THIRD QUARTER OF THIS YEAR.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: YOU KNOW WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN PRETTY CONSERVATIVE ON OUR BUILDING PERMIT AND MORTGAGE TAX REVENUE, REGARDLESS OF HOW HIGH THEY'VE BEEN IN THE PAST TWO YEARS IT'S DEFINITELY ON THESE ARE A COUPLE OF NUMBERS THAT WE'VE ALWAYS KIND OF BUDGETED CONSERVATIVELY.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE OUTCOME WAS IN THE YEARS PRIOR.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT REVENUE OR I CAN JUMP INTO EXPENSE.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: OKAY, SO UM THE LARGEST DRIVER OF EXPENSES OUTPERFORMING BUDGET ARE ACTUALLY COMING IN UNDER BUDGET, OBVIOUSLY, ARE THE VACANT POSITIONS THROUGHOUT THE CITY, AND THIS LEADS TO A LOT OF WHAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE, I CAN WALK THROUGH THESE PRETTY QUICKLY.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: OVERALL, EXCLUDING RECREATION SO I'LL GET TO IN A MINUTE I GOTTA CHANGE MY SLIDE THERE SINCE A FIRE BECAUSE FIRES IN THEIR OVERALL.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: TO ABOUT $700,000 DOWN COMPARED TO BUDGET OVERALL COSTS CITY SALARIES.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: WE JUMPED DOWN HERE TO RETIREMENT EXPENSE, EVEN THOUGH IT RATES WERE RETIREMENT RATES ARE UP TO THE 2021 YEAR.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: BECAUSE WE HAD VACANT POSITIONS THIS LED TO ACTUALLY DECREASE IN THE RETIREMENT EXPENSIVE VERSUS BUDGET.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: YOU KNOW VACANT POSITIONS THEY'RE NOT YOU'RE NOT IT'S BASED ON SALARY SO OBVIOUSLY IF THERE ISN'T SALARY YOU'RE NOT PAYING EXPENSE ON IT AGAIN FAKE EXPENSE OBVIOUSLY LESS SALARY LESS LIKE EXPENSE WORKERS COMPENSATION.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: FOR THE THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR, AND HE SINGS PREMIUM OVERALL WENT DOWN CAN AT THE 2021 CREAM WAS ACTUALLY 14% LESS THAN 2020 PREMIUM.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: CITY ALWAYS BUDGET CONSERVATIVELY IN TERMS OF INTEREST ABOUT INSURANCE ABOUT 10% SO AGAIN, WE HAD A BIG SWING THERE, AS YOU CAN SEE, EMPLOYEE HEALTH INSURANCE DOWN $406,000 AGAIN.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: VACANT POSITIONS, COUPLED WITH PRETTY STEADY AND.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: INSURANCE RATES WE BUDGET 10% CAME IN, I BELIEVE, REALLY HAVE THAT NUMBER 3% VERSUS THE 10% WE HAD BUDGETED FOR SAME WITH RETIREE HEALTH INSURANCE JUST LOWER AND LOWER RATES THAN WE HAD BUDGETED FOR.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: LET ME JUST JUMP BACK UP TOP COMPUTERS AND SYSTEMS UP 270 5000 THAT HAD TO DO WITH MOSTLY THE POLICE CAD SYSTEM THAT THE COUNCIL DID APPROVE AND BELIEVE IN THE FALL.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: TO SEE IF ANYTHING ELSE SPECIFIC MS SERVICES WE KNEW WOULD BE AN ISSUE WE GAVE THEM $50,000 OUT OF CONTINGENCY I BELIEVE THAT WAS AN EARLY OR LATE SPRING.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: LAST YEAR.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, ONE THAT I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT A LITTLE BIT WITH THE RECREATION NET COST THAT WAS A BIG YOU KNOW ITEM THAT WE HAD SPOKEN ON REGARDING OBVIOUSLY 50% CAPACITY FOR CAMP.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: CITY WAS YOU KNOW BUDGETING AT COST OF WACO ALMOST $2.1 MILLION AGAIN GREAT JOB BY SALLY AND HIS STAFF, PUTTING ON PROGRAMS OTHER PROGRAMS BESIDES CAMP THOSE PROGRAMS DID REALLY WELL AND ACTUALLY COST TO THE CITY WAS ABOUT $240,000 LESS THAN WE HAD A SPECIMEN.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: GOOD JOB, JUST A QUICK QUESTION THE CASTE SYSTEM THAT YOU MENTIONED, IS THAT THAT'S A ONE TIME EXPENSE.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: YES, THERE'S AN ANNUAL FEE, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY THE.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: DEFLATION SO BIG CHUNK WAS THROUGH HIS YEAH BUT THEN WHEN THE LARGE SHOT, WAS THE FIRST YEAR BUT YES OKAY.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: SO QUICK SUMMARY OF OUR CAPITAL INVESTMENTS FOR 2021 NOT REALLY ANYTHING THAT WE HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT BEFORE MAIN ONE, OBVIOUSLY IN 2021 WITH STREET RESURFACING.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: $800,000 GENERAL REVENUES 600,000 COMING FROM THE TAX RATE 200,000 COMING FROM THE 2020 SURPLUS GET ABOUT 340 7000 AND CHIPS FUNDING FROM THE STATE.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: 11 ALMOST 100 AND KNOW ALSO HUNDRED $11,000 IN CITY SURCHARGES FOR STREET OPENINGS.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: AND THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE 2020 BALANCE OF 970,000 THAT WAS ROLLED FORWARD.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: CITY WAS CAUTIOUS AND DIDN'T DO KIND OF WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT RESULTS CAME IN, WHERE WE THOUGHT THEY WOULD HOPE THEY WOULD FOR 2020 SO WE CALLED OFF ON SAVING, SO THE OVERALL AMOUNT SPENT ON PAINTING AND 2021 WAS $2.21 MILLION.

[03:45:11]

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: GIVEN THE STATE OF THE WORLD.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: RIGHT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO WE WERE ALSO TRYING TO GET AHEAD OF IT AND START SPENDING MORE SO IT WAS JUST A.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IT'S NOT LIKE WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO YOUR POINT RIGHT WE STILL GOT ONE WE GOT.

GREG USRY CITY MANAGER: I'M JUST LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS ON MY BOARD HERE, WE DID SINCE 17 WE'VE DONE, INCLUDING THIS YEAR NINE AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS OF STREAMING SERVICES, SO YOU KNOW IT'S IT'S BEEN A SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT BY THE COUNCIL IN STREETS, YOU KNOW, IN RECENT YEARS.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: ABSOLUTELY.

[8. Consideration of proposed policies for the City of Rye Fire Departmen]

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: WHILE IT HAD OPERATING LOSS IT DID $500,000 OF THAT IS APPRECIATION, SO IF YOU KNOCK THAT OFF IT'S PROBABLY CLOSER TO $100,000 AND OPERATING LOSS UNRESTRICTED NET ASSETS ACTUALLY WENT UP ABOUT $300,000 SO.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: FINISH THE YEAR ABOUT $3.55 MILLION IN ASSETS.

KOPY: WE HAVE A CONTRACTED WITH FLEXIBLE TO PROVIDE US A FRAMEWORK FOR THESE, AND I AM SITTING WITH THE CAPTAIN AND REVIEWING THEM ON A WEEKLY BASIS AND THEN SENDING THEM.

KOPY: TO THE MEMBERSHIP FOR REVIEW ONCE WE GET THAT BACK, WE THEN YOU KNOW, TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE CHANGES AND CONSIDERATIONS.

KOPY: THIS IS WHAT EVERY YEAR EVERY FIREFIGHTER HAS TO SIGN WHEN HE COMES IN AT PATRICK TAKES TO THE DEPARTMENT HEAD, AS WE KNOW, THAT IS CURRENTLY THE CAREER CAPTAIN AND HE IS RECOGNIZED AS THE DEPARTMENT AND WE JUST ESTABLISH THAT QUALIFICATIONS AS THE CITY SEES FIT.

KOPY: I WILL, I CAN STOP THERE, ALSO FOR ANY QUESTIONS I DON'T KNOW IF THERE WILL BE ANY FOR THOSE.

KOPY: AND MOVE FORWARD TO THE ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE, THE KEY THING HERE IS JUST YOU KNOW, WANT TO SAY, ESTABLISHING BUT JUST DOCUMENTING THE KEY AREAS OF THE FIRE SERVICE WHICH YOU FIRE OPERATIONS, AND THAT IS SUPPRESSION.

KOPY: THOSE ARE THE FIREFIGHTERS, WHO COME IN THE PROCESS WHERE THEY COME AND PUT A FIRE OUT OR RESPOND TO YOUR HOME AND THE OTHER IS OF FIRE PREVENTION BUREAU, WHICH IS PREVENTION AND INSPECTIONS.

KOPY: SO AGAIN, PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD AND THAT'S THAT'S BEEN UNDERWAY FOR LIKE THAT, FOR MANY, MANY YEARS PRIOR TO THE TRANSITION TO A REAR COMMAND STAFF WE DID IN FACT HAVE A LIEUTENANT WE DID INSPECTIONS AND THEN WE HAD THE CAREER STAFF THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE VOLUNTEERS.

[03:50:20]

KOPY: YOU KNOW, INSIST THAT THE EMPLOYEES AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AS A POLICE DEPARTMENT FOLLOW A CHAIN OF COMMAND THERE ARE INSTANCES WHERE A FIREFIGHTER MAY FEEL THE NEED TO GO DIRECTLY TO.

KOPY: IN ORDER TO THE COMMISSIONER FOR A PERSONNEL MATTER, AND SO WE HAVE ESTABLISHED YOU KNOW PROCESS WHERE THAT.

KOPY: COMMUNICATION STRAIGHTFORWARD JUST ESTABLISHING THE USE OF THE MEMORANDUM, AS WELL AS ADDING IN HERE, YOU KNOW LETTERHEAD WHICH WHICH.

KOPY: IS THE MEMORANDUM IS USED INTERNALLY IN THE LETTERHEAD IS HUGE FOR NON INTERNAL COMMUNICATION JUST ESTABLISHING WHO CAN USE THAT WHICH IS TO LIEUTENANTS AND AS WELL AS MYSELF.

KOPY: FINALLY, EMERGENCY RESPONSE JUST TALKING ABOUT HOW TO RESPOND TO ALL AGAIN THIS HAS BEEN IN PLACE, BUT NOT REALLY ESTABLISHED IN A FORMAL FASHION JUST ABOUT RESPONDING WITH LIGHTS AND SIRENS, AND HOW TO DO THAT WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU CAN ACCIDENT, HOW TO RESPOND AFTER THAT.

KOPY: I CAN TAKE ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU WANT LIKE I SAID IT IS PRETTY COOL STUFF.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: I JUST LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS, I APPRECIATE YOUR STATEMENTS THAT WELL PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS ANYWAY, BUT IT HASN'T BEEN IN WRITING, I THINK IT'S GREAT TO HAVE THIS STUFF IN WRITING, THANK YOU.
