MEETING TO ORDER.STAND FOR THE PLEDGE OF THE FLAG.
NO SUPPOSED HELP PLEDGE THE REPUBLIC FOR PROCEED JUSTICE TRIAL.
I'M WITH ARMENA WOOD DESIGN AND WE ALSO HAVE CRYSTAL WOOD AND ROSKI.
UH, CHRIS IS OUR ENGINEER AND AS OUR INTERIOR DESIGNER.
UM, SO AS MOST OF YOU KNOW, I'M HERE TO PRESENT THE, UH, TOWN OF HAMBURG RECREATION CENTER, UM, WHICH IS GOING TO BE AT THE, UH, CURRENT, UH, HAMBURG RECREATION FACILITY THAT THE ICE RINK IS LOCATED ON.
SO TO ORIENT EVERYBODY, UM, DOWN HERE IS, UH, LAKEVIEW ROAD, AND THIS IS THE EXISTING DRIVE COMING INTO THE COMPLEX.
UM, UP HERE TO THE TOP IS THE CURRENT ICE RINK, AND THEN WHERE WE'RE PROPOSING THE BUILDING TO BE LOCATED IS ON THE EXISTING LACROSSE FIELD THAT WILL BE RELOCATED ELSEWHERE.
UM, ON THIS SITE, I'LL JUST POINT OUT A COUPLE OF THE AMENITIES AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THEM LATER ON AS WE GET INTO SOME OF THE RENDERING.
BUT, UM, WHAT WE'VE DONE IS WE'VE KIND OF ADDED SOME PARKING AROUND THE BUILDING.
WE HAVE A NICE LITTLE, UH, GROVE AREA IN THE FRONT WHERE WE COULD DO LIKE COMMUNITY GARDENS.
WE COULD DO WHATEVER, A A, A, A FIRE PIT IS WHAT WE'RE SHOWING.
WE HAVE A BUNCH OF CABLE BALL PORTS.
[00:15:01]
WE HAVE, WE HAVE SOME OUTDOOR AMENITIES.WE PROPOSED KIND OF A SLEDDING HILL IN THE BACK THAT WE COULD USE SOME OF THE, UM, SOIL THAT WE DIG UP FROM THE FOUNDATIONS FOR SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO TRUCK IT OFF SITE.
AND THEN TO THE SOUTH, THERE'LL BE SOME, UH, RETENTION FOR SOME WATER.
UH, WE'RE NOT SHOWING ANY OF THE VEGETATION THAT WE'RE PLANNING ON DOING ON THE SITE JUST YET, BUT AS WE GET FURTHER ALONG INTO THE PLANS, YOU WILL SEE MORE OF THAT START TO POP UP.
JUST TAMMY, IS THAT A GOOD SITE FOR THE UH, UM, YES.
UM, DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTION ON THE SITELINE? UM, THIS IS OUR INSPIRATION BOARD.
LOT THING'S GONNA HAPPEN HERE.
LEMME JUST DO THE FIRST THING YOU GO NEXT DOOR.
OKAY, SO THIS FLOOR PLAN IS WHAT THE, WHAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE TOWN TO KIND OF COME UP WITH FOR WHAT YOUR NEEDS MIGHT BE.
SO, UM, AGAIN, JUST TO ORIENT ICE RINK UP TOP, UM, BASEBALL DIAMONDS DOWN LOW.
THIS IS THE ENTRY PARKING DRIVE, AND THEN THIS IS THE BACK OF THE BUILDING, UM, WHERE I'LL GET INTO IN A SECOND.
BUT BASICALLY AS UM, SENIORS OR COMMUNITY MEMBERS COME INTO THE, INTO THE FACILITY, THEY'LL WALK DOWN THIS NICE COVERED PATHWAY THAT KIND OF LEADS INTO THIS VESTIBULE AREA, AND THEN THEY'LL BE, UH, GREETED BY A RECEPTIONIST.
UM, YOU CAN EITHER SPLIT OFF TO THE RIGHT TO HEAD TO THE GYMNASIUM AREA OR TO THE LEFT, WHICH IS MORE OF LIKE YOUR WORK ROOMS. SO WORKING FROM PLAN SOUTH, WE HAVE THE OFFICES FOR, UM, YOU KNOW, WORKSPACE FOR THE TOWN TO RUN THE FACILITY AND ALL OF THEIR FACILITIES.
WE HAVE A NICE MULTIPURPOSE ROOM.
AND THEN WE HAVE A SERIES OF CLASSROOMS DOWN THE BOTTOM WITH SMALL ACTIVITY ROOMS, LARGE ACTIVITY ROOMS. WE HAVE A CAFETERIA AND A KITCHEN IN THE BACK, UM, ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THAT HALLWAY.
UM, LIKE I SAID, IT'S THE MULTI FABRICS ROOM.
WE HAVE SOME BATHROOMS AND A NEW FITNESS AREA.
UM, AS WE WORK PLAN NORTH, WE HAVE, UH, A KIND OF GATEWAY INTO THE GYMNASIUM, AND THEN WE HAVE THE TWO LOCKER ROOMS AND THE BUILDING AND GROUND SPACE.
UM, SOME OF THE STUFF WHERE WE'RE STILL WORKING ON SOME DETAILS ON, SO DON'T LOOK TOO CLOSELY, BUT, UM, THE GENERAL CONCEPT IS THERE.
AND THEN THE ONLY THING I LEFT OFF WAS THE BACKSPACE.
UM, WE HAVE A COVERED PATIO SPACE THAT COULD BE USED FOR VARIOUS THINGS, ANSWER RECITALS, CONCERTS, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO.
ANY QUESTIONS? COULD YOU COMMENT A LITTLE BIT ON THE CAPABILITIES OF THE GYMNASIUM SPACE? YOU KNOW, THE HEIGHT, WHAT IT WOULD, UH, ALLOW FOR, UM, WHAT SPORTS, PICKLEBALL, NUMBER OF COURTS, THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT, THAT SIZE, UH, WOULD BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE? SURE.
SO I, I BELIEVE WE'RE PLANNING ON A 22 TO 24 FOOT HIGH CEILING SPACE.
SO WE'VE KIND OF SIZED THIS AROUND A HIGH SCHOOL, UM, BASKETBALL COURT THAT HAS SOME SEATING ON ONE SIDE AND SOME PLAYER AND COACHES SPACE ON THE OTHER.
AND YOU CAN DO ALL OF THOSE THINGS, UM, YOU JUST MENTIONED.
SO, UM, I BELIEVE THAT WE COULD FIT AT LEAST TWO, IF NOT THREE PICKLE BALL COURTS ON THE INSIDE.
AND REALLY, I MEAN, YOU COULD DO ANYTHING YOU COULD DO IN A GYM HERE.
UM, THERE'S REALLY NO RESTRICTION.
SO BASED ON THE GYM GYMNASIUM THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE, THE CURRENT COMMUNITIES, OUR SENIOR CENTER, THIS WILL BE THE SAME SIZE OR BIGGER.
I THINK IT'LL BE A LITTLE BIT LONGER.
AND WILL THIS SPACE HAVE THE ABILITY TO BE EVEN SUBDIVIDED INTO, UM, TWO SMALL, IF THERE WERE TWO ACTIVITIES IT CAN.
SO YES, WE DID TALK ABOUT PUTTING A DIVIDER IN HERE THAT COULD BE OPENED OR CLOSED TO USE IT SIDE SIDE IF YOU HAVE THAT.
AND IS THERE ENOUGH SPACE, UM, SO THAT EVEN INDIVIDUALS COULD BE WALKING AROUND THE OUTSIDE, FOR EXAMPLE.
YES, WE DID PROVIDE ENOUGH WALKING SPACE FOR, LIKE I SAID, FOR BLEACHERS AND FOR PEOPLE JUST TO MOVE AROUND IN GENERAL.
ONE OTHER THING REGARDING THE OUTSIDE, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S FOR JILL OR FOR YOU.
UM, IS THERE PLACES FOR DROP OFFS FOR THE BUSES? YEAH.
SO, UM, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION AND PROBABLY ONE I SHOULD HAVE COVERED.
SO BASICALLY WHAT WE HAVE IS, UM, THIS COVERED WALKWAY THAT I WAS SHOWING.
I, I KNOW YOU MENTIONED THE COVER, THAT'S WHY I WAS JUST KIND OF CURIOUS.
UM, WE BASICALLY MADE A, LIKE A BUS LOOP OR DROP OFF LOOP THAT, UM, YOU CAN BRING ANY KIND OF VEHICLE THROUGH THERE, DROP THEM RIGHT OFF, MAYBE A, A 20 FOOT, 25 FOOT SPACE OF NON-COVERED, UM, THAT'S BASICALLY GETTING YOU THROUGH THE PARKING SPACE AND THEN RIGHT AT, RIGHT AT THAT SIDEWALK LINE, IT'LL BE COVERED.
AND THEN THERE'S ALSO A SECONDARY OPTION, UM, IF YOU WANTED A LESS WALKING OPTION WHERE WE HAVE A DOOR OUT FRONT AND THAT IS RIGHT HERE.
THAT COULD ALSO SERVE AS A DROP OFF AREA AS WELL IF SOMEBODY WAS GOING TO ONE OF THESE ROOMS. AND THAT WAS WHAT LEADING TO THEM.
[00:20:02]
OKAY.SO, SO MOVING FORWARD, UM, THIS IS, UH, AN IMAGE OF WHAT THE OUTSIDE OF THIS BUILDING THAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS.
UM, WE'RE CALLING IT AGRICULTURAL MODERN.
UM, AND BASICALLY IT IS TWO SEPARATE BUILDINGS, TWO SEPARATE, UM, PREFABRICATED BUILDINGS.
YOU HAVE ONE FOR THE GYMNASIUM AND THAT'S TO KIND OF ACCOUNT FOR THE HIGHER WALLS THAT WE NEED TO DO ALL OF THE ACTIVITY IN THERE.
AND THEN WE HAVE A LOWER SPACE OVER HERE.
UM, WE DO HAVE THESE BUILDINGS DESIGNED IN SUCH A WAY THAT, YOU KNOW, IF BUDGET OF SOMETHING GOT OUT OF WHACK, WE COULD DO ONE OF THEM AND NOT DO THE OTHER ONE.
UM, IF THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE HAD TO LOOK AT, UM, DOWN THE ROAD.
BUT WHAT YOU'RE SEEING IS THAT COMMUNITY GARDEN I WAS TALKING ABOUT BEFORE AND SOME KIND OF SPACE, YOU COULD PUT SOME TABLES, SOME OUTDOOR HANGOUT SPACE FOR PEOPLE.
UM, DOWN THE SIDE WE HAVE TWO PICKLEBALL COURTS OF THE GYM, AND THEN THAT FEEDS INTO THAT BACK AREA THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT BEFORE.
UM, OVER HERE YOU HAVE THE COVERED WALKWAY AND THEN THIS IS THAT SECONDARY DROP OFF POINT, A LITTLE BIT FURTHER DOWN THE WAY.
UM, BOTH OF THESE SPACES, WE HAVE SOME NICE CLEAR STORIES TO BRING IN SOME DAYLIGHT INTO THE INSIDE OF THE BUILDING.
AND THEN, UH, SAME OVER HERE IS WE HAVE A NICE CLEAR STORY THAT BRINGS IT DOWN INTO THAT MAIN ACTIVITY CORRIDOR.
I LOVE THAT THERE'S A SIDE DOOR OFF THE SIDE OF THE GYMNASIUM THAT GOES RIGHT OUT TO THE PICKLEBALL COURTS.
SO IF YOU'RE USING THE COURTS, YOU COULD COME RIGHT INSIDE TO THE LOCKER ROOMS AND CLEAN UP AFTERWARDS, BEFORE YOU GO TO YOUR NEXT ACTIVITY.
I, I THINK THAT'S GREAT AND WE'LL BE SUPER HELPFUL WHEN WE HAVE SUMMER PROGRAMMING THERE FOR THE YOUTH BECAUSE IT GIVES THE REC STAFF AN OPPORTUNITY TO USE THE ENTIRE CAMPUS, BUT NOT, UH, SUPER RESTRICT.
TAKE LOOK AT THE, IT'S UP THERE AND I JUST NOTICED
IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S, IT IS THIS ONE.
UH, WE WE CAN BRING IT UP CLOSER.
I CAN'T THANK, WE CAN'T SEE THE YEAH, BECAUSE FOR THE ONE I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THOSE YEAH, FROM THE ANGLE, THERE YOU GO.
ROAD ROADBLOCKS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
BETTER LOOKS LIKE A NEW ORLEANS, UH, STREET, UH,
SO A A LOT OF WHAT I JUST SAID APPLIES TO THIS PICTURE AS WELL.
IT JUST GIVES YOU A LITTLE MORE CLOSEUP FEEL OF, YOU KNOW, THAT ENTRYWAY INTO THE BUILDING, THAT SECONDARY ACCESS POINT.
AND THEN, YOU KNOW, THIS IS THAT COMMUNITY GARDEN SPACE THAT I WAS REFERRING TO PREVIOUSLY.
ANY QUESTIONS? THERE'S TWO HOUSES TOO.
UM, SO THIS IS THE PICTURE I TALKED ABOUT PREVIOUSLY AND UH, WE HAVE ONE THAT JUST KIND OF SHOWS THE, THE REAR OF THE BUILDING.
SO THIS IS STILL, IT LOOKS LIKE A BREW, SOME OF THOSE BREW HUBS.
DOESN'T IT LIKE THAT THEY, IT LOOKS LIKE THE ONE IN ORCHARD PARK KIND OF, YOU KNOW, TALKING ABOUT WELL, I'M THE, THE NEAR GROUP PROJECT.
SO I MEAN COULD WE, COULD WE GET THAT IN THERE? I MEAN, CAN YOU, I MEAN THAT WOULD PROBABLY GET MORE USE OUTTA THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
I MEAN, IF PEOPLE WANNA PUT A BAR IN THERE, I'M SERIOUS
HAM HAMBURG, YOU HAMBURG BREWING IN THERE AND GET A COFFEE SHOP, LIKE A LOCAL COFFEE SHOP AND SURE.
I KNOW LIKE THEY HAVE A SPOT IN THE WEST SENECA, UM, LIBRARY, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THAT TOWN OF WEST SENECA.
THEY HAVE A SPOT COFFEE INSIDE.
THAT BEING SAID, I WILL SAY THAT, UM, SO THIS AREA, THIS MULTI FOCUS AREA IS BEING DESIGNED WITH LIKE A LITTLE KITCHEN ED INVOLVED.
SO IF SOMEBODY WANTED TO COME IN FOR THE DAY AND SELL DONUTS OR COFFEE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO WE ACTUALLY DID, SORRY TO CUT YOU, BUT JOE, BUT WE ACTUALLY DID DISCUSS THAT WE'RE GONNA DO A TRIAL.
WE HAVE DONUT DAY ON FRIDAY, EVERY OTHER FRIDAY.
SO WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO ASK ONE OF THE LOCAL TIM HORTON'S OWNERS TO ALSO COME IN, UM, AND OFFER COFFEE AND DONUTS.
OH, DON'T WE HAVE A SMALL, LIKE, YOU KNOW, LIKE A MONO POP SHOP.
UM, BUT WE ARE GONNA DO, UM, BROTHERS, WE'RE GONNA DO LIKE COFFEE DONUTS AND KIND OF SEE HOW IT GOES.
AND THEN MAYBE GO FROM THERE DEPENDING ON THE WELL, I, YEAH, BECAUSE I, I KNOW THE LIBRARY TRIED PUTTING A CAFE IN THERE AND IT DIDN'T REALLY TAKE OFF THAT WELL AND THAT'S WHY WE DON'T WANNA DO IT EVERY DAY.
IT'S KIND OF SPECIAL AND IT, IT GETS PEOPLE IN.
YOU KNOW, WE MIGHT HAVE IT TIED TO SPECIFIC EVENTS TOO, IF IT TAKES OFF ON FRIDAY.
'CAUSE PEOPLE ALREADY KNOW DONUT DAY.
SO THEN WHY NOT HAVE COFFEE TOO THEN MAYBE BRING IN, YOU KNOW, PASTRIES FROM LOCAL PASTRY, YOU KNOW, SWEET PEA BAKERY.
[00:25:01]
BUT I MEAN, I JOKE I'M SAYING IT IN JES, BUT IF IT'S GOING TO BE A COM COMPUTE, A COMMUNITY CENTER YEAH.AND IT COULD BE A SOURCE OF REVENUE FOR THE TOWN, FOR A LOCAL VENDOR.
UM, WE JUST WANNA GO SLOW SO WE DO IT RIGHT.
WE WANNA MAKE SURE, YOU KNOW, WE KEEP LET LETTING THE PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THEY WANT.
I THINK ESPECIALLY WITH THE PROGRAMMING YOU OFFER.
UM, AND WE COULD EASILY DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT OUTDOORS.
IT WOULD LEND ITSELF TO, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'M THINKING IS FOOD TRUCKS.
WHEN YOU HAVE A BIG DAY WHERE YOU HAVE A LOT OF ATHLETIC EVENTS AND YOU HAVE A BUNCH OF SENIOR THINGS GOING ON, IT'S A GOOD DAY.
OR WE JUST DON'T WANNA TIE US OURSELVES DOWN TO ANYTHING RIGHT NOW.
THE POPULATION WE'RE GONNA GET AND YOU KNOW, KIND OF, UM, THE EVENTS THAT ARE REALLY GONNA TAKE OFF THERE.
I'M REALLY EXCITED, BUT IT IS A GREAT IDEA.
POLISHING OFF BY GREEN THUMB AND WE'RE PUTTING THE HAMMER UP AND THESE COURTS BECAUSE I THINK YOU'LL HAVE SIMULTANEOUS PICKLEBALL AND TENNIS LESSONS AND THEN THERE'S GONNA BE TONS OF CROSS IN OUR GENERATIONAL STUFF.
WELL, IF YOU'RE TRYING TO GET THE CHILDREN THERE, YOU COULD ALWAYS AFTER SCHOOL, THEY CAN ALWAYS COME AND YEAH.
I'M REALLY EXCITED TO SEE, UM, HOW IT GETS UTILIZED WHEN THE ARENA IS BEING UTILIZED HERE AT THE SAME TIME FOR ATHLETIC EVENTS.
NOW EXCITED TO SEE IT GET USED WEEKENDS EACH.
AND I WAS EXCITED TO SEE TOO PART OF THAT TO, TO BE ABLE TO, UM, YOU KNOW, CAPITALIZE ON, UM, ON SOME OF THOSE, YOU KNOW, YEAR ROUND OPPORTUNITIES.
THE FACT THAT YOU WERE ABLE TO INCORPORATE A LOT OF COVERED SPACE, BEING THAT IT'S FOR SENIORS, BUT EVEN FOR FAMILIES WHO MIGHT WANNA JUST HANG OUT THERE AND WATCH WHOEVER'S ON THE PICKLEBALL COURT.
YOU KNOW, WE HAVE COVERED, YOU KNOW, BOTH THE COVERED AREA IN THE BACK, THE COVERED AREA IN THE FRONT.
WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, AREAS FOR TABLES WITH UMBRELLAS, YOU KNOW, THINKING ABOUT, ABOUT THE SHADE THAT'S NEEDED.
SO I LIKE THE WAY IT INCORPORATES ALL OF THOSE DIFFERENT POSSIBILITIES AND THAT FLOW FROM INSIDE OUTSIDE.
YOU ALSO NOTICE, UM, TO YOUR POINT, FRANK AND, AND DAN, THAT THE BACK COVERED AREA, ACTUALLY THAT DOOR THAT IS RIGHT THERE GOES INTO THE KITCHEN PREP AREA ADJACENT TO THE CAFETERIA.
AND THAT WAS ALL PART OF THE DESIGN THAT THE, IT REALLY OPENED UP MANY POSSIBILITIES FOR THE FUTURE, NOT NECESSARILY KNOWING WHAT THOSE MIGHT BE, BUT IT, IT ALLOWS FOR ALL OF THAT.
EVEN THE WAY THEY HAVE POSITIONED WHERE THE DOORS ARE IN SOME OF THE INTERIOR HALLWAYS ALLOWS SECTIONS OF THE BUILDING TO BE CORDONED OFF ON THE WEEKEND WHEN WE MIGHT WANT TO UTILIZE THE GYM IN THE MULTI-PURPOSE AREA FOR RENTAL, BUT YET WE WANNA BE ABLE TO CORDON OFF THE REST OF THE BUILDING.
SO THERE WERE A LOT OF THOUGHT, THOUGHT, UH, THERE WAS A LOT OF THOUGHT AND, AND MANY OF THE DETAILS THAT ARE THERE I THINK REALLY SHOW WHAT AN INCREDIBLY GOOD USE OF SPACE.
THIS IS THE OTHER POINT, UM, FOR IN THE BACK THERE, WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING WITH CARINA WOOD AND MAKE SURE THAT IT IS THE SIZE THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY PURCHASE THOSE, UM, WHAT TO CALL BUT FLAPS THAT YOU, SO YOU CAN UTILIZE IT SAY DURING THE WINTER WE COULD, UM, YOU KNOW, WE COULD GET ALL WITH FLAPS KIND OF LIKE YOU SEE AT THE AVANTI MANSION, YOU KNOW HOW THEY HAVE, WE HAVE THE BLACK WINDOWS.
YOU'D MAKE IT ALMOST AN OUTSIDE ROOM.
YOU KNOW, THEY VINYL, VINYL WATCH, PUT SOME SMALL HEATERS MAYBE DO, YOU KNOW, WINTER DANCE OR SOMETHING OUT THERE.
SO WE'RE, WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE SURE, UM, I LOVE THAT.
THE THING THAT WE'RE TRYING TO DUAL USAGE OF AS MUCH SPACE AS POSSIBLE IF THERE'S A SLED HILL BACK THERE, LIKE WHAT A FUN WAY TO BRING FAMILIES IN FOR WEEKEND AND OFFER, BUT ALSO A SPACE TO, MIGHT HAVE TO HOME OVER HERE, HAVE LITTLE ONES WARM UP OR ONES WHO HAVE DISABILITIES.
PERHAPS FLOODING LONG TIME IS ENOUGH.
LOOKING AT THE PHOTO OF THIS PHOTO, UM, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE FIELD HOUSE ATTACHMENT.
I WANT IT BE ON THE FIREWALL WOULD BE ON THE, ON, ON THIS WALL ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE, UH, PORCH, THE COVERED PORCH.
I THINK IT'S THE COVERED PORCH SIDE IS WHAT WE'RE KIND OF DISCUSSING THAT TO GO OFF OF.
SO THERE'S, THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM FOR EXPANSION GOING OUT THE BACK.
SO IF YOU WANTED TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
AND I THINK, SO THE PICKLEBALL COURTS TOO WERE DESIGNED SO THAT WE COULD GO OFF THAT BACKSIDE, RIGHT? LIKE YES.
SO WE COULD EVEN GO OVER BY THE ICE ARENA TOO, RIGHT? AREN'T THERE, THERE'S A FEW DIFFERENT AREAS WHERE IT COULD BE POSITIONED WITH THE NEW LOCKER ROOMS GOING IN AND THE ICE ARENA POTENTIALLY GOING OUT BACK THAT WAY.
SO THEN THERE COULD BE DUAL USAGE OF THOSE LOCKER ROOMS THAT WE COULD SHUT OFF.
UM, SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE TWO BRAND NEW BEAUTIFUL ONES AND THEN WE HAVE TO BUILD MORE, OR I MEAN, I'M SORRY, LESS IN THE FIELDHOUSE POTENTIALLY.
SO, BUT THIS IS DEFINITELY, WE'RE ABLE THE ICE RANK, SO WE WANNA MAKE SURE, SEE HOW MUCH MONEY I GOT, LET SHOW HIM ABOUT THE ADDITIONAL PARKING AND DROP OFF.
I REALLY APPRECIATE HOW YOU GUYS HAVE TAKEN ALL OF THE CRITIQUE THAT JILL'S STAFF HAS GOTTEN FROM THE COMMUNITY TO REALLY BE THOUGHTFUL ABOUT THE LAYOUT AND THE COMPONENTS OF THIS.
IT'S REALLY BEEN NICE TO HAVE SOMEBODY MM-HMM
LISTEN TO EVERYTHING THE COMMUNITY HAD TO SAY TO DEVELOP THIS PLAN.
UM, WELL OF CHRIS WAS JUST REFERRING TO WAS, UM, THERE'S A LOT
[00:30:01]
OF, UH, GREEN SPACE UP ALONG THE BUILDING FOR THE, THE ICE RINK.SO WE KIND OF LOOKED AT IT AND FIGURED THAT WE COULD ADD ANOTHER ROW OF PARKING THERE TO KIND OF BRING PEOPLE IN, BRING A CLOSER DROP OFF SO YOU'RE NOT WALKING DOWN THAT 50 FOOT SIDEWALK ALL THE WAY UP TO THE PARKING LOT SO WE CAN ACCOMPLISH A LITTLE BIT MORE PARKING HERE.
AND THEN BY EXPANDING OUT THIS SIDE, UM, ROUGHLY LIKE FIVE TO EIGHT FEET, UM, WE CAN ACTUALLY PARK THAT AS WELL TO GET MORE PARKING OUTTA THE SITE SO WE'RE NOT CONGESTING IT OR PEOPLE AREN'T ALWAYS LOOKING FOR A PARKING SPOT.
AND THAT'S WHAT I LIKE ABOUT YOUR PLAN TOO.
YOU REALLY, YOU TOOK A STEP BACK AND YOU LOOK NOT ONLY AT THE BUILDING, BUT HOW THE BUILDING WAS GONNA FIT INTO THIS, CREATING THIS CAMPUS FEEL AND THAT YOUR PLAN ADDRESSES WHAT HAVE BEEN SOME OF THE CHALLENGES OF THE OTHER SPACES.
AND AND YOU'RE ALSO GONNA BE SOLVING, UM, SOME OF THOSE, THOSE ISSUES.
I, I'M, YEAH, I THINK YOU DID PRETTY WELL IN EXPLAINING EVERYTHING AND WE'VE BEEN COMMUNICATING BACK AND FORTH REGARDING THIS WHILE YOU WERE HAVING YOUR MEETINGS, SO GREAT, GREAT.
THE NEW BUILDING IS RIGHT DOWN HERE.
SO THIS, THAT EXISTING LACROSSE FIELD THAT'S TO BE RELOCATED.
IT KIND OF SIT RIGHT ON THAT FENCE LINE.
SO IS THE NEXT BUILDING BIG ENOUGH FOR A POOL IN A FIELD HOUSE OR WHAT'S GO
UM, I JUST WANNA FIRST AND FOREMOST SAY THANK YOU TO
UM, I'VE COMMUNICATED WITH THEM SEPARATELY ON A COUPLE, JUST TO GET SOME CLARIFICATION.
THEY'RE ALWAYS VERY, UM, YOU KNOW, PROMPT IN THEIR RESPONSES AND, AND THEY'RE VERY GOOD AT KIND OF REALLY LAYING IT OUT.
I'M NOT GREAT WITH, YOU KNOW, THINGS THAT AREN'T ON PAPER.
UM, SO THEY'RE VERY PATIENT WITH EXPLAINING THINGS TO ME AND SUCH WHEN I GET CONFUSED, COULD I, COULD THEY, UH, THERE'S ONE THING I'VE MEANT TO BRING UP BEFORE, UM, THAT MAYBE YOU CAN JUST COMMENT ON THE FACT THAT SOME OF THE SMALL AND LARGE ROOMS HAVE THE, UM, YES, CORRECT.
THEY HAVE A, UH, PARTITION WALL.
THESE, THESE LIKE DOTTED LINES WOULD BE, UM, PARTITIONS LIKE YOU PROBABLY HAVE SEEN AT, OR THAT ONE RIGHT THERE.
UM, A LITTLE BIT ON OF THAT, BUT YEAH, UM, THEY, RIGHT, CORRECT.
WE COULD MAKE, UM, YOU KNOW, A SINGLE WITHIN A DOUBLE ROOM AND THEN THE ONE IN THE GYM THAT DOESN'T, IF IT'S NOT LIKE THAT IT WOULD BE MORE OF THE CHAIN LINK LIKE YOU SEE AT THE SCHOOLS.
UM, BUT THIS WOULD HAVE ONE SO WE COULD DIVIDE IT AS WELL.
BUT I BELIEVE THERE'S ONE IN HERE AND WE HAD ONE THE MULTIPURPOSE, WE'LL HAVE ONE RIGHT HERE SO WE CAN OPEN IT UP IF WE WANNA HAVE, YOU KNOW, AN EVENT IN THERE THAT PEOPLE CAN COME LIKE DIRECTLY INTO AND HAVE LIKE A MORE OPEN, YOU KNOW, SPACE WHERE PEOPLE CAN KIND OF COME AND GO, UM, PRETTY EASILY.
SO I JUST WANTED TO FILL EVERYBODY IN ON, OBVIOUSLY THIS IS FANTASTIC.
UM, IT IS GOING TO BE DONE, YOU KNOW, IN EARLY, UM, 2026, SO WE WILL HAVE TO BE ON THE MOVE, UM, SOMEWHERE DIFFERENT IF, IF WE APPROVE IT, CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT.
IF IT'S APPROVED, UM, WELL EITHER WAY WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO BE ON THE MOVE JUNE 30TH
UM, SO I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU FOLKS KNOW, I'LL GIVE YOU EACH A COPY OF THIS.
THIS IS, UM, WE'RE GONNA HAVE INFORMATIONAL SESSIONS AT THE CENTER.
UM, I ASKED IF WE COULD AT LEAST PUT, YOU KNOW, UM, TWO OR THREE OF THESE UP AND THEN WE'LL HAVE, YOU KNOW, KIND OF A BRIEF DESCRIPTION AND THEN THESE ARE SET TIMES, BUT OBVIOUSLY IF PEOPLE COME AND ASK QUESTIONS, YOU KNOW, WE'LL TALK WITH THEM.
BUT WE'RE HOPING THAT THIS WAY IT'LL REALLY GET, UM, YOU THE INFORMATION OUT THERE AND PEOPLE WILL FEEL LIKE THEY'RE, UM, WELL INFORMED 'CAUSE THEY'LL HAVE SEEN IT ALL.
SO WE ARE CURRENTLY IN THE VERY, VERY FINAL STAGES OF GETTING THIS FIGURED OUT SO THAT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE, THE TRANSITION, UM, PERIOD, YOU KNOW, THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT.
IF ANYBODY HAD ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS ABOUT THAT, THAT'S FANTASTIC TOO.
THE MEETINGS ARE COMING UP THIS WEEK.
YES, WE, WE KNOW HOW INFORMATION TRAVELS, ESPECIALLY, UH, WITH SENIORS.
WE ALMOST HAD ONE TOMORROW, BUT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I, UM, COMMUNICATED WITH THE BOARD AND GOT APPROVAL TO PUT ANYTHING UP, YOU KNOW, UM, PICTURE VERBAL SO THAT EVERYBODY'S ON THE SAME PAGE.
WE DIDN'T WANT ANY INFORMATION GETTING OUT THERE, YOU KNOW, THAT ANYBODY WOULD NOT HAVE HEARD OR AGREED UPON.
SO THAT'S WHY WE MADE IT WEDNESDAY.
BUT WE DID WANNA GET IT OUT THERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
LIKE I SAID, WE JUST PICKED THIS WEEKEND NEXT WEEK, BUT WE CAN ABSOLUTELY ADD MORE IF PEOPLE WOULD LIKE IT.
WE WELCOME ANY OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS, UM, TO COME TO, WE WILL, YOU KNOW, SET UP A LITTLE COFFEE TOSS WITH THE COUNCIL OR SOMETHING, UM, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER, WHATEVER WORKS.
BUT WE DEFINITELY WANT TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, WE'RE VERY EXCITED AND WE WANT THEM TO BE.
THE BIGGEST COMPLAINT YOU'RE GONNA GET FROM THE RESIDENTS IS LOCATION.
AND WHAT I'M GONNA SAY TO THEM IS, AS SOON AS YOU SEE IT, YOU'LL FORGET WHERE IS, YOU KNOW, IT'S EVERYTHING.
YOU, YOU HAVE SOMETHING AND YOU'RE, YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT IT AND THEN WHEN IT ACTUALLY HAPPENS, IT'S ACTUALLY NOT AS BAD USUALLY AS
[00:35:01]
YOU ARE THINKING.AND I THINK THIS LOCATION IS PRETTY UNIQUE IN THE FACT THAT YES, IT'S PLANNING FOR NOT JUST THIS BUILD BUT BUILDS FUTURE ON LIKE, WHAT ELSE CAN WE PUT HERE? HOW ELSE CAN THIS SPACE GROW WITH THE COMMUNITY? YES.
NOT JUST BUILD IT AND NOW WE'RE LOCKED INTO THAT SPACE SO WE CAN'T GET ANY BIGGER.
WE CAN CONTINUE TO GROW AND EVOLVE AS THE COMMUNITY GROWS AND EVOLVES WITH THEIR NEEDS.
WELL, MR. PETROSKI IS ALREADY BACK THERE DESIGNING A SPLASH.
UM, WE ACTUALLY ALSO, WERE TALKING ABOUT SETTING UP SHUTTLES, LIKE IF PEOPLE REALLY, ESPECIALLY IN THE WINTER TIME, IF PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING, POTENTIALLY HAVE THEM PARK AT TOWN HALL, YOU KNOW, AND THEN WE COULD SHUTTLE THEM AND, AND BACK IF THAT WAS AN ISSUE.
SO WE'RE DEFINITELY GOING TO WORK WITH PEOPLE AND MAKE SURE, YOU KNOW, WE CAN BE AS ACCOMMODATING AS POSSIBLE AND WE'LL BE DOING SHUTTLES TO THE TRANSITION PLACE AS WELL.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COORDINATING ALL THIS, JOE.
YEAH, WE, I'M VERY HAPPY, YOU KNOW, THAT, THAT WE'RE GONNA, UM, HAVE SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA BE THIS BEAUTIFUL, HONESTLY, I, I PERSONALLY THINK IT LOOKS BETTER THAN ORCHARD PARKS, BUT THAT'S JUST MY OPINION.
I'M JUST SAYING
BEING COMPLETELY DESIGNED WITH THE IDEA OF THE SENIORS CAN BE THERE AND THE TODDLERS CAN BE THERE.
CAN FIND A USE AND A VALUE FOR THAT SPACE.
AND JUST SO YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE'RE VERY BIG ON THAT.
WE HAVE TWO THINGS COMING UP THAT WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT READ ACROSS AMERICA NEXT WEEK.
WE ARE ACTUALLY A PART OF IT, UM, AT BIG TREE ELEMENTARY.
A BUNCH OF OUR SENIORS ARE WALKING OVER TO DO THE PROGRAM NEXT WEEK AS WELL AS, UM, WE JUST WERE NOMINATED FOR AN AWARD FOR OUR SENIOR AND ADAPTIVE PROGRAM WHERE THEY'VE BEEN HAVING LUNCHES IN FIELD TRIPS TOGETHER.
SO, YOU KNOW, WE ARE ALL ABOUT DOING THAT AND KEEPING IT GOING.
SO I THINK THIS IS EASILY GOING TO LET US, AND, AND THE FLOW OF IT TOO IS GONNA BE A LOT EASIER TO MANAGE BECAUSE IT, IT IS JUST THE FLOW OF IT IS THERE'S A LOT OF WASTED SPACE AND SPACE THAT JUST DIDN'T MAKE SENSE IN OUR FACILITY.
SO WE WERE ABLE TO DO IT IN A WAY THAT I THINK IS GONNA BE, UH, A LOT BETTER.
EVERYBODY JUST GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION.
I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION TO DISCUSS THE PERSONNEL, UH, AND EMPLOYMENT HISTORY OF INDIVIDUALS CONTRACT AND LITIGATION ISSUES.

TOTAL, TOTAL AMOUNT OF DISBURSEMENT FOR AUDIT.
[02:05:01]
AYE.UH, COMMENTS FROM THE FLOOR? YOU MAY BOARD.
NO, YOU, I KNOW THAT YOU WEREN'T HERE AT THE LAST MEETING.
WE JUST HAVE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD.
WE KNOW WE JUST WANNA MAKE, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE FOR THE RECORD, THANK.
UH, I I CAME IN ON A PRIVATE MATTER, BUT IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE MORATORIUM.
THIS PLACE WAS TWO PEOPLE WERE IRATE WHILE OFF.
I ONLY HAD THREE MINUTES AND 30 SECONDS TO, SO I WOULD LIKE TO LOOK REBUTTALS HERE.
FIRST OF ALL, THERE WAS A GENTLEMAN SPEAKING HOW PEOPLE DON'T WANT SINGLE HOMES WITH THE STREETS AND NO SIDEWALKS.
NOT EVERYBODY WANTS TO LIVE IN AN APARTMENT.
THE APARTMENT BUILDINGS HAVE A LOT OF NEGATIVES AS WELL.
I KNOW THAT IT'S REVENUE, BUT I THINK THE NEGATIVES ARE OUTWEIGHING THE POSITIVES.
I CAN GIVE YOU 10 REASONS WHY I WOULD NEVER RUIN AN APARTMENT.
IF ONE PERSON HAS ROACHES, EVERYONE DOES.
IF ONE PERSON MAKES NOISE, EVERYBODY HEARS IT.
THERE IS NO PRIVACY, THERE IS NO THIS, THERE IS NO THAT.
YOU CAN HAVE ONE PERSON GET BED BUGS AND EVERYBODY HAS THEM, LA LA LA ON AND ON.
BUT THE VERY NEGATIVE THING IS THAT WE ARE PUTTING HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE IN A LITTLE TINY AREA AND WE ARE CREATING GARBAGE FOR HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE EVERY WEEK.
AND YOU'RE GONNA PUT A DUMPSTER BACK THERE.
IT IS BETWEEN THE SENIOR CENTER AND THE SCHOOL.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
OKAY? YOU TOOK ALL THE WOODS DOWN, WE'RE GETTING INFESTED WITH RATS.
THIS ALL CAME UP AT THE MEETING.
THE REASON THIS IS HAPPENING IS BECAUSE YOU'RE TAKING ALL THE WOODS DOWN.
SO YOU'RE TAKING AWAY THE POSSUMS, THE SKUNKS, THE OWLS THAT EAT THE RATS.
SERIOUSLY, THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE.
I HAD FOUR, FOUR RATS IN MY YARD THIS YEAR.
AND WHY? BECAUSE YOU TOOK ALL THE WOODS DOWN AND YOU'RE TAKING AWAY THE NATURAL PREDATOR.
YOU'RE PROBABLY GONNA HAVE TO BAIT THAT TRAILER PARK WHERE THAT LADY WAS COMPLAINING IS COMPLETELY FESTS.
BUT YOU'RE NEVER GONNA CATCH UP WITH THE RATS.
THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TOWN AND THE CITY.
A CITY IS BUILDING ON, BUILDING ON BUILDING WITH NO NATURAL ENVIRONMENT TO KEEP IT CLEAN AND HEALTHY.
AND WHEN YOU THINK OF THE CITY, WHAT DO YOU SEE? WHY ARE PEOPLE COMPLAINING? RATS AND GARBAGE.
AND I'M SEEING A CHANGE IN THIS TOWN QUICKLY.
WE HAVE PEOPLE MOVING IN THAT ARE NOT FOLLOWING OUR GUIDELINES.
THERE ARE PEOPLE ON MY STREET WHO PUT A MATTRESS AT THE CURB THREE DAYS AFTER BIG TRASH DAY.
AND THEY SAT THERE THREE AND A HALF WEEKS BECAUSE THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT IN THE CITY.
AND THEY JUST COME BY AND SCOOP IT UP.
THINGS ARE CHANGING FOR THE NEGATIVE.
WE NEED TO ENFORCE OUR LAWS THAT WE HAVE ALREADY AND WE NEED TO STOP TAKING DOWN THE TREES AND START PROTECTING AND KEEPING A CLEAN ENVIRONMENT.
THERE ARE SO MANY MORE NEGATIVES IN THESE COMPLEXES.
YOU'RE ENDANGERING OUR POLICE.
YOU'RE ENDANGERING OUR FIREMEN.
THESE STRUCTURES ARE NOT BUILT LIKE OLDER HOMES.
I THINK THE NEGATIVES ARE OUTWEIGHING THE POSITIVES.
WE HAVE PUT SOME OF THEM UP, BUT LET'S STOP AND ASSESS.
WE HAVEN'T EVEN BEGUN TO HAVE THE WRAP POPULATION BETWEEN THE SENIOR CENTER AND THE SCHOOL.
YOU HAVE NO PROTECTION THERE NOW.
AND, AND ALL AROUND IT IS ALREADY SURROUNDED WITH RATS.
WE NEED TO STOP RIGHT WHERE WE'RE AT, ASSESS AND TRY TO CLEAN THINGS UP.
WE NEED TO START ENFORCING OUR LAWS.
I COULD NOT GET ANYONE TO DRIVE DOWN MY STREET TO HAVE THESE PEOPLE TAKE THE MATTRESS OFF UNLESS I COME IN PUBLIC AND SIGN A THING.
BUT EVEN IF I SIGN ANONYMOUS, THEY CAN FIND OUT WHO IT IS.
SO NOT ONE OF MY NEIGHBORS WANTS TO BLOW ALL THIS IN.
WE'RE ALL AFRAID OF RETALIATION THERE.
THERE HAS TO BE A WAY HERE THAT WE, WE HAVE TO, WE HAVE TO JUST STOP.
THINGS ARE CHANGING TOO QUICK.
I WAS TRYING TO FIT EVERYTHING IN THERE AND I KNOW I WAS, THERE WERE THINGS ON MY PAPER THAT
[02:10:01]
I HAD TO SAY AS WELL.IS THERE A SCOTT IN HERE WHO DOES SAFETY OR WHATEVER.
BECAUSE WE WERE SUPPOSED TO, ON BEHALF OF ALL THE SENIORS THAT I'M SPEAKING FOR AS WELL, WE HAD TO THANK HIM FOR ALL THE SIGNS THAT THEY PUT UP ON SOUTH PARK.
I CALLED HIM ON THAT ONE TIME AND WE DID AWESOME.
UM, THE SENIORS ALSO HAVE A COMPLAINT THAT YOU PUT THEM AND BEAUTIFUL SENIOR LIVING FACILITIES AND THEN ALLOWED THE AVANTI MANSION TO WAKE THEM UP EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT AND THEY GO TO CHURCH AT EIGHT O'CLOCK ON SUNDAY.
THEY WANTED TO HAVE A BALLOT OR SOMETHING IN REGARDS TO WAKING A HOME NEIGHBORHOOD UP WITHOUT LETTING EVERYONE HAVE A SPACE NOTE FIRST.
UH, I THINK THAT WAS IT FOR, OKAY, I'M GOOD.
MS. MS, UH, MAY THANK YOU, UH, FOR COMING HERE TODAY.
AND I DO REMEMBER YOU SPEAKING.
UM, I, I'M PROUD, VERY PROUD THAT I WAS THE ONLY COUNCIL MEMBER THAT PUT FORTH A PROPOSAL FOR MORATORIUM ON MULTI-UNIT DEVELOPMENT.
AND I DIDN'T GET A SEC, I DIDN'T GET A SECOND FROM MY COLLEAGUES.
I FELT LIKE THAT THE PEOPLE THAT SHOWED UP WERE A BUNCH OF THUGS.
SOME OF THESE PEOPLE WERE NOT, THESE DEVELOPERS WERE NOT EVEN FROM THE TOWN OF HAMPER.
AND THEY SPOKE TO MY COLLEAGUES IN A VERY DISRESPECTFUL MANNER AND THEY TRIED TO INTIMIDATE US.
AND I WILL NOT BE INTIMIDATED.
BUT I WOULD ASK YOU THOUGH, IS TO CALL ME AND BRING YOUR FRIENDS AND RELATIVES AND CITIZENS BECAUSE I WOULD HAPPY TO REINTRODUCE THE MORATORIUM ON MULTI-UNIT AGAINST MULTIUNIT DEVELOPMENT.
DO YOU SAY SOMETHING? NO, I WAS, GO AHEAD.
SO I WOULD BE HAPPY TO REINTRODUCE THAT, BUT I WOULD NEED AT LEAST ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES SO WE COULD HAVE A DISCUSSION ON IT.
NOW, THE BIGGEST COMPLAINT, I I DEFINITELY BY FAR THE BIGGEST COMPLAINT THAT I RECEIVED IN MY, IN MY CAPACITY AS AS A COUNCIL MEMBER IS ACCESS DEVELOPMENT IN THE TOWN OF HAMBURG.
NOW, AND I AGREE WITH YOU AND, AND ONE OF MY NEIGHBORS SAID THIS TO ME, UM, YOU SAID ABOUT THE CITY, IF I WANTED TO LIVE IN THE CITY OF HAMBURG, I WOULD GO LIVE IN A CITY.
SO PEOPLE DON'T WANT THAT DENSITY NOW.
AND, AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS ARE, ARE SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE THE DEVELOPERS DON'T CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT.
AND I GREW UP ON, ON ON, ON LAKE ERIE, UH, ON A AVID OUTDOORS MEN, I LIKE TO FISH SO FORTH.
AND WHAT HAPPENS RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF EXCESS DEVELOPMENT IN THIS TOWN IS THAT, AND I, AND I SAY IT OVER AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN FOR ANYONE WHO'S LISTENING IS THE SEWAGE PLANT THAT WE HAVE THAT IS LINKED TO A STORM SEWER.
SO WE HAVE A SANITARY SEWER AND A STORM SEWER.
WHEN WE HAVE EXCESS, UM, WATER, WHICH WE'RE GONNA HAVE AS SNOW IS MELTING RIGHT NOW, OUR SEWAGE SYSTEM IS NOT BUILT TO DEAL WITH IT.
SO BASICALLY YOU'RE PUTTING 10 POUNDS OF, YOU KNOW WHAT, IN A FIVE POUND BAG.
SO ONE OF THE REASONS I DON'T WANT EXCESSIVE DEVELOPMENT IS THAT WE DON'T HAVE THE CAPACITY IN OUR SEWAGE SYSTEM TO ALLOW FOR THIS WATER TO BE TREATED.
SO WHAT HAPPENS TO IT IS REALLY THEFT.
IT ENDS UP BEING DUMPED IN LAKE ERIE.
NOW, THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL GOVERNMENT, IS TO PROVIDE BASIC RESOURCES AND SAFETY.
SO OUR ROLE ISN'T TO BE IN THE BEHOLDEN EYE OF DEVELOPERS WHEN WE CAN'T EVEN PROTECT OUR WATER SUPPLY.
AND IT, IT, IT, IT IS HORRIFIC TO, TO THINK THAT IN ONE OF THE RICHEST COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD THAT WE ARE DUMPING RAW SEWAGE LIKE IN INDIA, LIKE THE GANGES RIVER BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA BUILD MORE STOCK.
WE SHOULDN'T BUILD ANYTHING UNTIL WE GET THAT UNDER CONTROL.
NOW THERE'S INVESTMENT RIGHT NOW FROM NEW YORK STATE IN, IN OUR SEWAGE PLANT BY WOODLAWN.
BUT HOW MANY PEOPLE HERE HAVE DRIVEN BY AND SMELL WOODLAWN BEACH? IT IS A DISGRACE.
AND SO I CHALLENGE THE RESIDENTS AND I HAD ASK YOUR FRIENDS TO CONTACT ME BECAUSE NO ONE ON THIS BOARD IS GONNA DO ANYTHING UNTIL THE CITIZENS STAND UP AND HOLD MY COLLEAGUES ACCOUNTABLE.
AND I KNOW I'VE BEEN CRITICIZED BY MY OWN PARTY FOR, FOR STANDING OUT ON THIS ISSUE.
BUT I WILL NOT, IT'S NOT A POLITICAL ISSUE TO ME BECAUSE WE OWE IT TO OUR CHILDREN, OUR ELDERLY PEOPLE.
[02:15:01]
WE OWE IT TO EVERY SINGLE CITIZEN IN THE TOWN OF HAMBURG TO PROTECT THE WATER SUPPLY AND NOT OVERDEVELOP OUR TOWN.THE OTHER IMPACTS ARE WHEN THOSE PEOPLE LEAVE, THE RENTS MAY BE HIGH NOW, BUT WHAT HAPPENS IS WHEN THEY'RE NOT THE NEWEST BEST APARTMENTS, THE RENTS GO DOWN.
AND THEN WHEN THE RENTS GO DOWN, THEN PEOPLE THAT YOU NORMALLY LIKE THE COVER CHARGE, YOU GET PEOPLE THAT DON'T RESPECT THE PROPERTY.
AND EVEN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THIS IS THE BEST WAY.
BECAUSE IF YOU OWN YOUR HOME, THEN YOU RESPECT PROPERTY.
TO YOUR POINT ABOUT THE MATTRESS.
SO I WILL CONTINUE TO BE OUTSPOKEN ON THIS ISSUE.
I DON'T CARE WHAT DEVELOPERS SHOW UP.
I DON'T CARE WHO CRITICIZES ME.
IT IS SOMETHING THAT I RAN ON.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT.
AND I THINK ALL OF THE CITIZENS SHOULD CONTACT MY COLLEAGUES AND TELL THEM THAT THEY SUPPORT A MORATORIUM ON MULTI-UNIT DEVELOPMENT.
I WILL CONTINUE TO COMMIT TO IT, BUT I NEED HELP FROM MY COLLEAGUES.
OH MY GOD, HE WOULD BE SO MAD.
I AM PERSONAL FRIENDS WITH THE FIREFIGHTER.
HE SAID BY FAR, THIS IS THE STUPIDEST THING THAT THIS FILM HAS EVER DONE.
AND HE WILL NOT GO IN THERE BECAUSE YOU GO IN THERE IF YOU WANNA GO AND YOU HAVE TO GET HOW MANY PEOPLE OUT.
ONE, WHEN ONE PERSON STARTS A FIRE, THAT WHOLE THING AND YOU CAN SAY, OH, THERE'S FIREWALLS, THIS AND THAT.
IT'S THIS THAT A FIREFIGHTER HAS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR NOW NOT GOING TO A HOME AND GETTING HOW MANY PEOPLE BUT GETTING THIS MONEY.
SO, AND THOSE WERE HIS EXACT WORDS.
UM, I UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT IN REGARDS TO UM, YOU KNOW, NOT BUILDING SO MANY, UM, APARTMENTS AND STUFF.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE'RE IN A POSITION AND I KNOW THAT THE BOARD MEMBERS, WE ALL LIVE HERE, WE ALL CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY AND THE ENVIRONMENT.
UM, BUT THERE ARE OTHER THINGS TO THINK ABOUT TOO.
NOT EVERYONE CAN AFFORD A 7%, SIX, SIX AND A HALF PERCENT MORTGAGE RATE TO OWN A HOME.
SO THERE'S GOTTA BE SOME OPPORTUNITIES FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO, UM, YOU KNOW, RENT.
I LOOK AT MY OWN CHILDREN WHO, YOU KNOW, ARE MAKING $18, $17 AN HOUR, WORKING 50 HOURS A WEEK AND HAVE VERY DIFFICULT TIME.
THERE'S NO WAY THAT THEY CAN AFFORD TO BUY A HOUSE.
SO HAVING APARTMENTS, AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THIS AREA SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY TO BUFFALO, NEW YORK TO LIVE AND BE ABLE TO WORK FROM OUR COMMUNITY IS SOMETHING TO BE CONSIDERED AS WELL.
AND THERE'S ALWAYS TWO SIDES TO EVERY STORY.
UM, BUT THAT'S ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE TO CONSIDER AS WELL.
AND I WANNA SAY THIS, I DO AGREE WITH HER.
I'M NOT AGAINST APARTMENTS ALTOGETHER, BUT WE ALREADY HAVE A LOT OF THEM.
WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN, WE HAVEN'T EVEN HAD THE DAMAGE FROM THESE ONES YET.
YOU GUYS THINK I'M KIDDING ABOUT THE RATS.
I I HAVE RATS IN MY FREAKING YARD.
ONE SHOE THROUGH MY GARAGE WHEN YOU TOOK THE TREES DOWN.
'CAUSE THE SKUNKS AND POSSUMS ARE GONE.
I HAVE NEVER HAD A RAT AT MY HOUSE.
THIS EVERYONE AROUND HAD RATS, RATS, RATS, RATS, RATS, RATS.
YOU HAVE GOTTA STOP TAKING DOWN THE WOODS.
YOU HAVE TO LEAVE SOME IN BETWEEN.
THIS IS WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT LAST TIME WHEN I WAS SAYING YOU CAN'T JUST GO HERE, HERE, HERE, BUT MY TIME IS UP.
THERE'S THE ONLY THING THAT IS GONNA SEPARATE.
YOU'RE KEEPING THE ENVIRONMENT CLEAN.
YOU CAN'T GO DUMPSTER, DUMPSTER, DUMPSTER, DUMPSTER, DUMPSTER WITH NO WOODS IN BETWEEN.
THAT'S THE RILEY APARTMENTS OR WHATEVER.
WELL, THE RILEY IS GONNA BE A PROBLEM BECAUSE I WAS GONNA SAY THERE, BECAUSE NOBODY ON THIS BOARD VOTED FOR THAT.
THAT WAS THE PREVIOUS BOARD IN THE I KNOW THAT.
BUT I'M TELLING YOU, WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN THE DAMAGE FROM THAT YET.
ALL OF THE SURROUNDING AREA AROUND THAT COMPLEX, ALL OF US KNOW WHEN THOSE WOODS CAME DOWN HAVE RATS.
OKAY, THIS IS WHAT I'M TRYING TO TELL YOU.
YOU'RE NEVER GONNA CATCH UP WITH IT.
NOW IF YOU CONTINUE TO DO THIS.
SO WHAT I'M SAYING IS LET'S JUST STOP FOR A WHILE AND INCUR WHAT IS GOING TO COME FROM WHAT WE JUST BUILT.
[02:20:01]
GOING WITH THIS.YES, I'M SAYING MORE TO CODE WHATEVER YOU WANT.
WE NEED TO, WE NEED TO STEP BACK AND ASSESS.
HE HASN'T GOTTEN ALL OF THE THINGS YET.
EVERY TIME YOU PUT ONE OF THOSE UP, EVEN THE SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS HAVE A, EVERYTHING CHANGES.
EVERYTHING CHANGES EVERYWHERE.
EVERYBODY'S ROUTE DRIVING CHANGES.
I CAN'T GO DOWN RILEY ANYMORE.
I, I MEAN, I WELCOME THE INPUT.
I MEAN, UH, IF I MAY, I I DO WELCOME THE INPUT BECAUSE THERE ARE DIFFERENT OPINIONS AND I RESPECT EVERYONE'S OPINION.
IT JUST DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU WANNA BE.
IF YOU GO, UM, SAY THE, UH, MONTEREY, CALIFORNIA OR CARMEL BY THE SEA, THEY HAVE EXTREME ZONING REQUIREMENTS WHERE IN ORDER TO BUILD ANY HOUSING, YOU HAVE TO HAVE AT LEAST AN ACRE.
SOME COMMUNITIES WILL HAVE EVEN LARGER.
NOW OURS IS CERTAINLY NOT THAT EXTREME, BUT IT JUST DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU WANNA BE MEANING DO YOU WANNA BE AN AREA THAT HAS A LOT OF APARTMENTS AND HAS A LOT OF DENSITY? THERE'S SOME VALUE TO THAT BECAUSE IT LOWERS COSTS.
OF COURSE EVERYONE KNOWS THAT HOUSING IS ABOVE SHORT SUPPLY.
IF YOU WANT TO LIVE IN AN AREA THAT'S LIKE A TOWN, THAT'S FINE.
BUT IF WE BUILD SO MUCH, THEN YOU LOSE THE CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY OF THE TOWN, MEANING THE CITY.
RIGHT? AND SO THAT, THAT'S MY OPINION ON IT.
MEANING I HAVE A, AN ADULT DAUGHTER, 22 YEARS OLD, SHE LIVES IN, IN, IN MANHATTAN.
YOU KNOW, SHE WORKS ON UH, ON TIMES SQUARE.
THAT'S 'CAUSE SHE LIKES THE CITY.
SHE SAID, NO DAD, I WON'T GO TO SCHOOL HERE.
SHE LIKED THAT, RIGHT? SHE WOULDN'T WANNA EVEN LIVE IN HAMBURG BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T BE BUSY ENOUGH.
SO IT DEPENDS ON WHAT WE WANNA BE.
MEANING DO WE WANNA BE A TOWN? UH, OR DO WE WANNA KEEP GROWING AND, AND HAVE HIGH DENSITY APARTMENTS? AND I THINK MOST CITIZENS ARE PROBABLY AGAINST IT.
BUT I'M HOPING TO HEAR WHAT ANYONE HAS.
ANYBODY ELSE SPEAK? YOU HAD THREE MINUTES.
WE GOTTA LET OTHER PEOPLE HERE.
O UM, I JUST WANNA THANK THE BOARD FOR RESOLUTION FOR THE HATCH HATCHBACK.
UM, I LIVED THAT FOR 35 YEARS.
19, OFFICER 16 AS A SUPERVISOR.
IT'S NOTHING PREPARED TO WHAT THESE KIDS ARE PUTTING UP WITH TODAY.
THEY APPRECIATE SUPPORT FROM THE COMMUNITY, FROM THE BUSINESSES.
THE OUTPOURING HAS JUST BEEN ENORMOUS.
THEY'RE TAKING ALL THE EXCESS FOOD THAT'S BEING DONATED TO THEM AND THEY'RE GIVING IT TO, I SPECIFICALLY, I KNOW ATTICA, THEY'RE GIVING IT TO THE NATIONAL GARDEN, ATTICA, BECAUSE THE NATIONAL GUARD WOULD BE BY NEW YORK STATE ICE STEAK, BALONEY AND CHEESE SANDWICHES.
THEY'RE, THEY'RE BUYING IT OUT THEIR POCKETS OF BJS AND TAKING ALL THAT OVER TO THEM.
SO I JUST WANTED SAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE RESOLUTION GOES.
THEN REPORTS FROM THE BOARD, BOTH DEPARTMENT HEADS AND THE BOARD.
I, I KNOW HE'S, YOU KNOW, I'VE ALWAYS GOT SOMETHING.
DON'T I GOING THIS, I'LL MAKE IT AS FAST AS I CAN.
WE WANNA SAY THIS ONCE AGAIN, WE'RE BEING ASKED TO, TO GRANT VARIANCES AND ALLOW ANOTHER, UH, LET'S GO FOUR STORIES.
AND WE'RE PLAYING AGAIN WITH HIGH DENSITY.
SEE, PROPOSAL THAT HIT THE PLANNING.
I DIDN'T MANAGE GET TO THE MEETING, BUT I SEE THE PROPOSALS ARE COMING UP AND PEOPLE ARE ONCE AGAIN LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO MAXIMIZE THEIR PROFITS.
I DON'T THINK THAT SHOULD BE BORN ON THE, ON THE BACKS OF THE HAMBURG TAXPAYERS AND CITIZENS.
I THINK WE SHOULD BE, BE LOOKING VERY, VERY CAREFULLY.
WE NEED TO FOLLOW IT FOR THE LETTER.
WE NEED NOT TO ALLOW THESE HEIGHT VARIANCES.
WE NEED TO CONSIDER THE CHARACTER OF NEIGHBORHOOD BEFORE WE, EVEN, BEFORE THE, WE'VE BEEN ON A FIVE YEAR BUILDING IN 2020.
WE WERE AT 30% RENTAL PROPERTIES.
AMHERST IS 30% RENTAL PROPERTIES.
THERE'S NO REASON IF YOU WANNA LIVE IN AMHERST, MY SUGGESTION IS THERE.
BUT PLEASE, LET'S NOT TURN HAMPERS INTO THAT.
THIS WAS A VERY, VERY NICE PLACE TO LIVE IN.
UH, WE HAVE A BOARD MEETING MARCH 5TH.
UH, WE HAVE 11 ITEMS ON THE AGENDA, SO COME OUT IF YOU'D LIKE GOING ON.
JUST WANNA CLARIFY VARIANCES, NOT A BOARD MATTER.
[02:25:01]
MATTERS.WANNA CLARIFY WHO DOES WHAT, WHAT UM, SO I INVITE PEOPLE TO COME TO A BOARD MEETING TO FIND OUT WHAT IT IS THAT WE DO AND SOME OF THE, THAT ARE GOING ON.
SO, UM, THE THREE COLOR TRAFFIC SIGNAL DID FAIL AT CAMP, UH, HOWARD, WE WILL NOT BE GETTING THAT STATE DID DO ANOTHER STUDY.
IT DOESN'T MEET THE MANUAL UNIFORM TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES, SO THAT'S GONNA BE OUT.
UH, WE'RE STILL WORKING ON THE TIMING WITH SOUTHWESTERN HOWARD WITH THOSE APARTMENTS GOING IN, SEEING IF THE STATE CAN, UM, WE HAVE A COUPLE MORE SECONDS ON THE LIGHT ON HOWARD TO GET PEOPLE THROUGH.
SO THEY'RE REVIEWING THAT AND THE TRAFFIC SAFETY BOARD IS REVIEWING, UM, THE PHASES RIGHT NOW AT ARMOR, DUALS, CLARK, ABBOTT, AND BAYVIEW.
UM, WE ARE WORKING ON TRYING TO GET A SYNCH MODEL STUDY, UM, PRICING.
AND THEN WE'LL HAVE A, UM, A RESOLUTION OR, UH, SOME SORT OF LIKE PRESENTATION TO THE BOARD.
SO, UM, SYNCHRON MODEL STUDY HAS TO BE DONE TO, UM, FIX THE PHASES THAT WE HAVE GOING ON THE INTERSECTION'S.
UH, MYSELF AND COUNCIL MEMBER FAR RUNS.
WE DID HAVE A ZOOM MEETING WITH, UH, THE COUNTY.
SO THEY SAID THAT THEY ACTUALLY LIKE OUR CONCEPT PLAN.
THEY JUST NEED TO HAVE A, UM, SUPER MODELS, KIND OF LIKE A SMALL LITTLE STUDY DONE.
SO WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO SOME ENGINEERING COMPANIES, UM, AND WE'RE WORKING ON THAT.
AND OUR NEXT MEETING IS MARCH 13TH, 7:00 PM THURSDAY HERE AT TOWN HALL.
UM, HOPEFULLY WINTERS COMING TO AN END.
UM, WE'RE STILL BEG BALANCE CEILING, TRYING TO GET SALT.
UM, CURRENTLY WE'RE GETTING OUR SALT OUTTA UTICA JUST TO TRY TO KEEP OUR BARS FULL.
UM, IT'S BEEN A REAL STRUGGLE SINCE, UH, SINCE THAT MORRIS, WE CAN'T EVEN GET IT OUTTA MOUNT MORRIS BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET IT TO US.
SO IT'S BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE.
UM, MARCH 1ST, WE'RE GONNA ACTUALLY START DOING A BRUSH PICKUP AGAIN.
UM, WEATHER PERMITTING AND, UM, ELSE IS, UH, GOING PRETTY GOOD.
I JUST, UM, WHAT'S THE PROCEDURE? IF SOMEBODY THREW A MATTRESS OUT, DO THEY CALL YOU UP? HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE? OR DO YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR THAT TO BIG TRASH TO BE IN THAT ZONE OR A CERTAIN TIME? WELL, UM, TRASH, UM, TONIGHT WE GOT OKAY TO PUT IT OUT FOR ONE YEAR.
UM, THEY COME AROUND ONCE A MONTH.
IT'S ALWAYS THE THIRD WEEK OF THE MONTH.
IF SOMEBODY PUTS LARGE TRASH OUT, THEY CAN CALL US.
WE USUALLY DO IS WE HAVE A BILLING INSPECTION FOLLOW UP TO MAKE SURE THERE'S NO, UH, UH, NO ISSUES WITH THAT.
AND THEN, UH, WE USUALLY SEND A TRUCK OUT OR WHATEVER AND GO IN OUR DUMPSTER.
SO IF SOMEBODY'S GOT SOME ISSUES, THEY CAN CALL.
USUALLY, USUALLY MAKE SOME KIND OF GET IT.

UM, I JUST WANT TO THANK, UH, MANINI AND THE TRAFFIC SAFETY ADVISORY BOARD FOR ALL OF THEIR EFFORT, ESPECIALLY MOST RECENTLY WITH, UM, THEY PLEADED WITH THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AGAIN WITH OUR SITUATION ON CAMP ROAD IN THE HOWARD ROAD AREA, AND THEY REALLY DID A GREAT JOB TRYING TO PLEAD OUR CASE, UH, ONCE MORE TO THE STATE.
IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT THEY HAVE DETERMINED THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET AN ADDITIONAL SIGNAL THERE, BUT I KNOW THAT MATT AND THE TRAFFIC SAFETY ADVISORY BOARD WILL STAY ON
[02:30:01]
TOP OF IT AS THEY COME ALONG AND THEY THANK THEM FOR THAT ON BEHALF OF THE RESIDENTS OF THE TOWN, THEY REALLY ARE WATCHING OUT FOR YOU AND NOT JUST THERE, BUT THEY CONTINUE TO LOOK AT ALL AREAS THROUGHOUT OUR TOWN ADDRESSING A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT MOBILITY AND CONNECTIVITY ISSUES.THEY, THAT MR.

I REALLY APPRECIATED LEARNING SOME BEST PRACTICES, UM, HIRING AND RECRUITMENT, BUT ALSO IMPORTANT TOPICS LIKE CODE AND DEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING ISSUES THAT ARE FACING NOT JUST OUR COMMUNITY, BUT COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE STATE AND THE BEST WAY TO LEGALLY HANDLE THOSE ISSUES, BUT ALSO ENCOURAGE GROWTH IN A MINDFUL MANNER, UM, AND REALLY PLAN FOR LONG TERM SUCCESS FOR YOUR COMMUNITY.
SO I THOUGHT ALL OF THE SEMINARS, WELL, VERY, VERY LONG DAY.
I THINK I WAS THERE FROM, UM, SEVEN 30 TO FIVE 30 MOST DAYS.
THERE'S NO BREAK JUST GOING STRAIGHT FROM CLASS TO CLASS TO CLASS.
IT WAS EXTREMELY HELPFUL, UM, LISTENING TO THE EXPERTS SPEAK AND LISTENING TO THE OTHER COMMUNITIES TALK ABOUT THEIR SUCCESSES OR THE PITFALLS THEY HAD WHEN THEY TRIED TO IMPLEMENT SOMETHING THAT WE DON'T MAKE THOSE THINGS DO.
OKAY, FRANK, I SAID ENOUGH EARLIER ABOUT APARTMENTS.
UH, BUT I DO WANNA SAY THAT WE AS A BOARD, I'M PROUD THAT WE CAME TOGETHER PRETTY MUCH EVERY ISSUE, BUT WITH THE, WITH THE CORRECTION OFFICERS.
I KNOW THAT, UH, UH, MR. SPOKE, UM, IN MY CAPACITY AS BEING A DEFENSE LAWYER, I GO TO THESE JAILS A LOT AND, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT GOING ON RIGHT NOW, UM, AS FAR AS THE HAL ACT AND SO FORTH.
AND, UM, I'M PROUD AS THE BOARD THAT WE'RE SUPPORTING THE CORRECTION OFFICERS WITH, UH, WITH, WITH THEIR PLIGHT.
I MEAN, THE, THE STATE HAS TAKEN A LOT OF THINGS AWAY FROM THEIR ABILITY, DISCIPLINE INMATES, UM, AND RECLASSIFIED INMATES THAT WOULD PERHAPS IN THE PAST MAXIMUM SECURITY FOR THE MEDIUM AND SO FORTH.
SO I'M HAPPY, UH, AND I WANNA THANK MY COLLEAGUE FOR, UH, BEING ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THIS ISSUE, SUPPORTING THE CORRECTION OFFICERS AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO, UM, SUPPORT THEM AND HOPEFULLY THE STATE WILL LISTEN TO THE CORRECTION OFFICERS, OUR BOARD AND THE COUNTY LEADERS AS WELL.
UM, I'LL KIND OF ECHO, UH, FRANK SENTIMENT WITH THE CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS.
I THINK EVERYBODY PROBABLY KNOWS ONE, I USED TO CALL IT THE NEW STEEL PLANT BECAUSE, UH, BACK IN THE EIGHTIES, NINETIES, EVERYBODY WAS A CORRECTIONAL OFFICER.
UM, BUT I JUST WANNA ONCE AGAIN RECOGNIZE BLACK HISTORY MONTH AND, UM, WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH OR WHATEVER THE CORRECT TERMINOLOGY.
AND GROWING UP, MY MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER, I, UM, THANK AT THE BOARD FOR THE GREAT JOB THEY DID ON THE, UM, ON THE NEW COMMUNITY CENTER.
SPENT A LOT OF HOURS WORKING WITH, UM, JILL AND HER STAFF.
STAFF AND, UM, OUR, UH, CONSULTANT.
AND JUST FROM, I DUNNO IF YOU, IF YOU DIDN'T SEE IT STILL UPSTAIRS BEFORE, STILL UPSTAIRS, IT'LL BE THE TOMORROW.
SO TAKE A LOOK AT IT BECAUSE IT BEAUTIFUL.
AND HOPEFULLY YOU'LL GET A CHANCE TO GO THERE AND EXPERIENCE IT.
SO I REALLY THINK ALL THE HARD WORK YOU GUYS DID, AYE.
