If we all get to know each other, there are a lot of new people here. So let's start from here. Who are you? Sarah Adams Brini Fisk, welcome to everyone who is new. This is how it usually works. When we go to the agenda, there are a few features today. First, accept the minutes. Not the minutes in the last meeting. Do you think this is recording? Actually, my wife is sitting at home. If not right, she will call me. That's why there are no minutes in the previous meeting. Because normally, we use the recordings to prepare the next meeting. Last time, Sarah was our secretary on the way. She was very interested in preparing the minutes. Still, I can explain this to those who were here. I clearly remember what happened. Two cows were sacrificed. One was standing there. One beacon was standing at Holmes. So that was the two important things we discussed last time. Make sure. Both were related to the signage on the outside. The rules on the signage on the outside are very clear. Is it going through us or is it just going through us? It is only for historically important districts. Britain can clearly say where the limits are. Historically, it is a suburb block. We are doing it below the courts department. What we do is an overlay department of historical zoning ordinances. Within the district building. But they also have to take care of that. Within a good language. But that We have made it difficult for us to discuss. Right. But... That's why we're here. We're avoiding our own cleanliness. The reason for the ordinances. That's a dangerous thing. That's why we need to pay attention to this. Fortunately, the signage on the outside was historical. Okay. Okay, let's move on to the new things. First, it was connected to Manchester. One minute, please.

6:24Speaker 2

Okay. Yes, we'll get it. I'll take care of it.

6:53 – 13:14Speaker 4

Kala ke kurachi kala abisham ana. Adh Kala. in reality. So, there is an artist next to us. So, what will happen in reality? How will it happen? Do you want to make sure? Places or places? So, the picture is like that. However, it is visible. Questions That is a very good question. Ordinance is available. Some questions. Marga nirdeshengal veerthirika avunudhaana. Adhukonda enthaana aarthamakiyatannu inikku ormeil ninnu pareyaam. In those situations, that special thing should not happen anywhere. Therefore, air, There is a mirror on the bed. So now the discussion is in my mind. Say yes. Magara pole. Purathu. Athukonda adistanaparamayi mattaru bithiyum illa. Adha allathadhu. It's not useless. I'm sure. You say it's in use. So the rest of the building is occupied.

13:47 – 14:16Speaker 5

Karanam Alla Idhinde Bhaagam

14:18 – 18:50Speaker 4

That's what I think. That's another thing. Actually speaking, We have no relationship with the interior. Otherwise, we have nothing. I am standing on the sidewalk on the other side of the street. The second part is that it is important to pay attention to the results. And this is just my interpretation. We need to discuss it. My perception is that this will be made applicable. I'm not sure. Stop. The reason is the same. Places. The same. Places. It is closed. I think so. I think so. Just because. That would be it. Hello. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for your support. Everyone say thank you. Okay. Okay. We have two suggestions and one question.

18:54Speaker 3

What's the difference between a movie and Tamil?

19:02 – 19:15Speaker 2

I think we should talk to the mic. That's not a problem. Just a little closer. I think it's you. I'm asking you. I'm B. Yes. Okay, I'm trying to keep it simple. I mean, is this wrong?

19:16Speaker 1

Okay, yes. The reason is this.

19:26Speaker 3

Are there any big machines for signage?

19:29 – 23:03Speaker 4

For each linear step of the road frontage, they are provided with a small amount of signage. So, they have a lot. The permission for signage is required. But the problem of having it as a small thing is not a problem. But when you go to sign machines, it is much more difficult than signage machines. But what you are saying is true. But the point is That's why I think the difference is making it clear. Everything here is definitely a fake. That's very much. Okay, that leads me to my next opinion. I mean, I'm looking at some of the boards that we have. If the ordinance is making this clear, this board cannot be approved. The reason is that now we can send this to the Mayor's Board in a good way, or we can vote for it and remove it. Then she can appeal to the Mayor's Board. She can always do it. Does this mean that we cannot accept this voluntarily? So, when we talk about the paint colors of these buildings in the near future, the laws make a certain color palette clear, but we have the permission to apply colors to the painting of the buildings and other color palettes. So, even though there are ordinances, do you believe that this committee can accept this? I'm just asking, trying to understand things. I would like to point out one thing. This is an expression. Because here, the logo with the trademark or the title of the exhibition is called a document or a painting. I believe that the document or the painting belongs to the trademark or the title of the exhibition. So, the title of the Manchester Art Centre is MAC. It is their own property. Their own. The title of the exhibition. That is not right. Science is not about you. It is right. Moreover, That is one and the same. I think you were calling it a banner. Can you tell us why you think we don't have any rights?

23:21Speaker 3

That is, I am thinking about it.

23:22Speaker 4

Okay, that's fine. Me too.

23:24Speaker 1

That is, I am asking if this committee can withdraw the ordinance. Oh, I understand what you are saying.

23:30Speaker 3

Because the ordinance says so, can this committee withdraw the ordinance?

23:36 – 23:53Speaker 4

According to that, can we make any changes there? Yes, yes, yes, you can use adjectives. Ordinary sentences go there itself. That's right, that's right. According to the grammar, you can't reverse it.

23:53Speaker 2

No, no, we can't. We can't change the consonants either. Okay, let's... Let's... In reality...

24:16 – 24:34Speaker 3

I don't think you've left the Vanichaparam area. That's not it. This is Vanichaparam.

24:35Speaker 4

This is a business.

24:35 – 25:09Speaker 3

This is a profitable institution. It is not a promise. I think our only obstacle is this. Yes, we have reached the same thing again.

25:09Speaker 4

That is, we are very concerned about the destruction of Bithi. Because they don't know where that statue is. But the black box is behind it, isn't it? That's why it's a special room. One channel.

25:23Speaker 3

That was a window.

25:35Speaker 2

Windows are placed on the floor.

25:36 – 26:14Speaker 4

What was the law about that? About that? It was like a tunnel. Okay. But these are signage directions. I think it will be more difficult when the scheme is proposed. We have already made sure of that. Yes, yes, but I just...

26:31Speaker 2

That is, how will it be? Will we be able to change that document somehow?

26:35 – 26:51Speaker 3

That would be a problem because it is not a dispute. No, no, no. This is for the safety of the ordinance. Isn't it? If we change the ordinance, we will have to postpone it again. Let's do it.

26:51 – 27:25Speaker 4

Okay, yes, yes. Okay, that should be a special discussion. The way of the problems, right? When we see the way of the problems, we either do a special yoga or do a special point in the agenda. Okay, we are going to discuss. Okay.

27:43Speaker 3

That is why we are trying.

27:44 – 29:56Speaker 4

So, if we make this section a small walkway, they will have to put up a sculpture in the middle to enhance the beauty. Of the land? Yes, what can they use in it? Because we are making changes, we will have to go through this process again. You can differentiate that. There is a part in the request, that too. If the applicant agrees, certainly the applicant will make changes in the actual request at the historic zoning commission meeting, with a strong foundation. Yes, so we can change it if they want. I think that's the conversation going on there. Can you explain it to us? What was it? Okay. So, I asked her about changing the location of the building and establishing a cemetery. She said it was a community mural and it was in discussion. So, they have some concerns. They don't want to hurt anyone in the community by changing the cemetery. But they have other concerns. Let me tell you the rules. There is a community mural on the other side of the street this month.

29:56Speaker 2

What's going on? Where?

29:59Speaker 1

Opposite to Brinney's place. Yes, it's not in our jurisdiction. I'm just...

30:06Speaker 2

I'll give you an update. Some community murals. Hey, this is a personal matter.

30:14Speaker 4

Okay. So, the inside part.

30:15 – 30:41Speaker 3

The side is historical. This side is not like that. Okay. The other question I had was... I'll show you.

30:43Speaker 1

Hey, I've only been here for two years.

30:45Speaker 3

Anyway, I really liked the new website. That's why it's called Purple Niram Vanija Baram.

30:55 – 34:32Speaker 4

But this area of the Hatch is a large area. Not the entire Light Green area. The entire Hatch is yours. Overlink. That's the Overlay District. Sherry. Sherry. Kooduthal charchagal. Pole. Frame avar sooshikunnu. Varshangal. How long will the community mural continue? Okay, let's make a positive statement for that contract. In that case, we should not concentrate our attention on the purpose of historic zoning. It is about the establishment of history. Even if I like it, it does not fulfill the historical needs. Urapa Kuga. Now that I've said it, this is a beautiful picture. This is very creative. In addition to that, I think this is a great example of what Baaviyam did before Maa. Because of them. It's been only a few years since I came here. I didn't know that the wedding was held there.

34:32 – 34:44Speaker 3

Until the beginning. Now, I think I saw the board the other day, but not until now. This is a Manchester ring. Do you know? I remember.

34:55Speaker 4

When I saw that board, I thought it was an art.

34:58Speaker 2

I remember when Nagarasabha gave them the first $25,000. But... Are we fulfilling our goals?

35:03 – 36:09Speaker 4

I don't think so. A useful place in the outside world. That's all. That's right, that's right.

36:09 – 36:24Speaker 2

That's not a thing. Another way is just to continue the blockade in the beach, right?

36:25Speaker 4

They could have set up a tent to reflect the black crowd. Okay.

36:45Speaker 3

That board. Mr. Paul, I am talking to you.

36:49 – 37:07Speaker 4

It may not be complete. It is just a board. I was looking at it. That's why I'm telling you.

37:07Speaker 2

There's more. I told you to remove it, but... Oh, I thought you were talking about this. I understood.

37:33 – 38:58Speaker 4

If I tell them the truth, they won't be like that. That's the reason. So, I'll ask. If we vote for this, is there anything else they can do to give us advice? Can they make any changes? The place is correct. Place. Now. One thing I am aware of. I have heard about places that have started to be so far away from the main port. If there is anything, we can talk about it. No, how far is it from the main port? It should not be in the same direction. Okay, it is not a direction in terms of direction. Oh, it is a seed.

38:58Speaker 2

It is counted as a seed. So, if it comes in a seed, will it be different?

39:07Speaker 4

Even then, seeds are also part of the seed. So, in that situation,

39:26Speaker 2

I don't think we will do that. No.

39:27 – 39:40Speaker 4

Say you don't want anything, or give a discount. Is that what we are asking for? If we agree,

39:57 – 42:38Speaker 4

Am I against it? To a minimum. We are one party. Let's start from here. Yes, you are voting for a vote. Are we going to vote? Yes. Okay. No. I am voting for him. I would like to make a special announcement. If they are interested, they can sign a mural in another place in the community murals. So, what is your suggestion? If they want to use this mural as shown here, this is a kind of pre-existing permission to move one of the adjacent areas. Mural If they decide to do so, this will get a pre-existing approval. If they want to continue this, I know that they intended to cover two brown blocks. But if they want to continue this art work without any doubt about what will happen in the future, I think it's okay for our co-op. Where is the co-op? Let's move forward in a way that they don't have to wait. They don't have to wait until two meetings are over. If they are interested, we can allow them to paint in two blocks. That way, they will be able to destroy the trees and protect them, right? That plant.

42:38Speaker 2

That. Plant.

42:42 – 43:06Speaker 3

The brown color in front. To the left.

43:06 – 45:28Speaker 4

To fill in those two panels as before. You can't do the whole thing in length. That would be a big deal. If you take those two panels, I think they are about the same size. Because they look the same. So if you want, you can put it there. Or if they want, you can use a half panel or a panel. That's all. I really liked this idea. Okay. So, I'm suggesting that you give them a permission to move forward. They can use the same space. In one part of the moon, they can do it as they wish. We have to vote for it. So, those who agree to give this vote say yes. Make it clear. Board. Don't complete it. Therefore, in the situation in which we have agreed to the request, I think that this is enough. Right? Thank you. Thank you.

45:35 – 45:50Speaker 3

Okay. Do you have a partner? Then, how many committees do you belong to?

45:50 – 46:02Speaker 2

You have a good name, right? Athoru?

46:02 – 48:55Speaker 4

No, I have been following mystery for five years. I understood what I was doing when I was four years old. This is out of the topic, because we have completed the related issues. I would like everyone who is new to the historic zoning commission to understand what our role is. The historic zoning commission is protecting the historical heritage of Meghalaya. This was established in the mid-1990s or mid-2000s. We need to ask for help from the local governments to make the city a better place to work. This helped us to build our own streets. If we had a historic city, we would have had more wealth. As it is a historic city, we have the Historic Zoning Commission. They monitor everything that happens here and audit us every year. I believe that this commission is made up of curators. Pay attention to the good things that need to be known. I have a question. The ordinance we are following is 2018, isn't it? We can change it. We can change it. That's a good thing. Continue. Make it complete. Because I want to know everything about the new government in the first place. So all the newcomers have homework. You have to read the last two pages.

48:55Speaker 1

Because this is a big headache for the past year. This is a big headache for the past few years.

49:08Speaker 4

Yes, English and grammar. And then, we go that far. Okay. Don't ask me about that. I'm a police officer here.

49:14Speaker 1

Okay. Yes, no, that's a good thing. For newcomers, we have received many requests about how to translate the ordinances about the lights.

49:42 – 51:22Speaker 4

We only talked about the ordinance in the last discussion we had. That's all we could do. We haven't given up on anything so far. We haven't reached the point where we have to accept it last. There is a process for that. There is a way for us to prevent changes in the language. But it is decided It's me. This is a special occasion. What we have included in the agenda is not to respond to a special COA. Okay. I can bring this here. You are here, but there are new members who are not coming. Okay, okay. You are not the only one who is new today. Okay. Can you send me the right ones? Okay. Yes, please. Because I am responsible for preparing the agenda. Okay. So, remember that. If you want to include anything in the agenda, contact me, especially the names on the board. Okay.

51:22Speaker 2

Make a suggestion. To tell the journey.

51:28Speaker 3

We will do it today. I saw the black screen.

51:33Speaker 4

Okay. Thank you all. Thank you.

51:34 – 52:36Speaker 3

Then, what was it? What you said is right. Prakashikunam innunna matangal. Alla. Nyan valare albudapettu boi.
