Hi Jai! What are you doing? Are you fine? All

0:31 – 1:06•Speaker 4

Are you ready? Mamma? Yes. Okay, okay. Good night everyone. Welcome to the Franklin Planning Board meeting, which will take place on August 26, 2024. It is 7 in the evening. This meeting has been recorded in audio and video. Call 312-626-6799 at the Zoom number at 8864,99,97,702. First, let's look at the general information. If I can go to AAMI, this will be a final bond release for the Adirondack Club in Ennore Chestnut Street.

1:18•Speaker 3

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In reality, there is no bond. This is just the last poem. Okay. Last poem.

1:23•Speaker 5

Last poem. The last poem on Ennuru Chestnut Street. Yes. Yes.

1:27 – 1:41•Speaker 3

Then, they submitted the last poem. A last poem made on Ennuru Chestnut Street. The parking they were operating ended in a row in the club. We have received a beat of an on-site report with pictures of site works. They are here for their last vote. Okay.

1:49•Speaker 5

If it wasn't Matt, it would have been Steve.

1:51•Speaker 3

Matt. Matt too.

1:53•Speaker 4

Matt, I want to make a small donation for the rest of the people on the board.

1:58 – 2:49•Speaker 5

Of course. We have money. Yes, thank you Mr. Chairman. Um, we went there and conducted the final investigation of the site. To tell you the truth, there was not much to report. They did a very good job there. Um, we added a few more bullets to the north of the site. It will count as a security measure. Also, one thing to be really careful about is that this is not a problem at all, as they have reduced the amount of crosswalk stripping and passed two gore markings in between the places where two accesses on the side of the site can be made. Also, they have to do is to block out the crosswalk part and re-install the diagonal stripping required for the architectural access board. Oh, since it's very easy, the board will decide whether to accept it voluntarily or not.

2:49•Speaker 4

Okay, good. Thank you. Mike, is Mike ready? Mike, are you ready to stand in the DBW? Yes, he's ready.

2:58 – 3:46•Speaker 5

Okay, I'll go to the board. Does anyone have any comments or questions? Go to Chris. I have nothing to say, Mr. Chairman. Thank you. Your mark. Um, yes, I have one. Um, Mr. Chairman. I can see that they have a swing gate. But have they indicated it in the plan we got? I haven't seen it. Does it have to be like that? Fire access gate. Yes, yes, we made that part of the plan. Okay, but if I'm not looking at the right place, I can't see it there. The plan we got. Okay, change it if you want. Is it about the plan you intended to build or about the plans you accepted? Correct. Like you built. This is a plan like you built.

3:46•Speaker 2

Like you built.

3:47 – 5:43•Speaker 5

Then, it is in the bottom right corner of the one you built as I wanted. Then, you are right. It was not shown in the plan you built. Yes, it was necessary. But yes, you are right to show it in the way you built it. Okay, that can be a natural thing. I'm sure. I know it's there. I know it's there because of the photo. I understand. But... Yes, we can condition that part. Yes, okay. Then, I think it will be the only change in the plan. Okay. Are you okay with that? No, I'm fine. Thank you. Okay. Do anything, any comments, questions. I'm ready, Mr. Chairman. Thank you. Okay. Good. At that time, I will make an announcement to approve 800 Chestnut Street as the last stop. With the arrangement to block out stripping, the report and fire access gates have been set up. What is that? Is it the north entrance of the site or the second entrance? Can you hear me for a second? The second one. Everything is fine. Roll call vote. Markia Mucciaroni. Yes. Greg Randa. Yes. Jay Mello. Yes. Chris Digny. Yes. Eric Stelzer. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. This will be the launch of the 60 railwayways as a site plan. If I can go near the army... Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

5:43 – 6:14•Speaker 3

So, this is in the 60 railwayways. They have a site plan with a capacity of 44,000 square feet with storm water and utilities. And this is part of the permanent construction. And they haven't started a job yet. So they were expecting a launch. On August 27th, 2025, they were approved. Um, I had a two-year visa for Shubhasha. They said, Um, they will decide what they want and what they want to do. Okay, Um, I think I'm going to the board. Um, Chris, any comments, questions?

6:20 – 7:03•Speaker 5

I have nothing to say about this, Mr. Chairman. Thank you. Okay. Mark, is it your business? Yes, that's right. I made all the arrangements. Okay. Yes, Jai. Anyway, I'm fine. Thank you, sir. Then, I think, yes, it would be good to give the two-year exemption to all of you, just like you are to others. Yes, there is no problem in my part. If everyone is fine with it, okay. Um, 60 Rolls-Royce's site plan will be extended with a two-year extension. Um, I want to hear a second thing. Roll call. Second. Um, roll call vote. Mark Musrond. Yes.
