5:51Speaker 5

Thank you. If you want, you can come forward and tell your name and address for the record.

6:02 – 7:21Speaker 2

Matthew Jones, Gage Informer, Architecture. We know that this is a challenging place because it has a lot of parts. First of all, our goal is to build some single-family attached houses along with this seabed rezoning, which will be used for the development of neighborhood and neighborhood relations. And then we have to convert the rest of the land into parks, which will be useful for the community. Even on road car and was a stanko car come on because I'm and it is okay. So, it's a second. I just want to say, no, it's. And I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm. Javed Akili.

7:49Speaker 5

Mr. Anadheksh, can you tell me once again that you are making multi-family homes?

7:52Speaker 3

This is a single-family townhome.

7:55Speaker 5

Okay, so townhome. And you are going to make about 40 of them. No, no, forgive me.

7:59Speaker 3

Current plan. It will be between 8 to 10, which will be done on this window, that how the final floor plan is being prepared. And that will be on the edge of Woodside Avenue, in that pink strip, which is above the bar's ground.

8:08Speaker 7

And then you want to make a park behind it?

8:12Speaker 3

Yes, there will be an entrance garage from the back so that we can arrange parking with Fima.

8:15Speaker 2

We will have to work with floodplain management on this. But we can do limited things like parking garage in floodplain.

8:20Speaker 3

And that's why we have said in townhome that there will be an entrance garage from the back.

8:25Speaker 5

So the owner wants to make a townhome and rent it out. And then he wants to use the back as a park to do activities like car mill or something like that.

8:34Speaker 3

Is there anyone here to speak in support of this order? Is there anyone else to speak in support of this order?

8:41Speaker 2

Is there anyone else to speak in support of this order?

9:06 – 9:17Speaker 5

Is there anyone here to oppose this docket? If you come forward and say your name and address for the record.

9:17 – 10:05Speaker 6

Thank you. I have something in my mouth so that while speaking I don't get scared. I am Kara Bell. I live on 5 West 8th Street, which is on the other side of this property, on the other side of the street. And I am here as a resident, a neighbor who is really extraordinary. Many of you are familiar with the Mill villages and Woodside is one of the most important Mill villages in this area. And this property has been a sacred place for that community for more than 100 years. When the mill was owned, it was a church. Even after it was sold, it was a church.

10:05Speaker 7

And until Mr. Rollis bought it, it was a church.

10:08 – 12:48Speaker 6

I am not against industrial development. I am not against development. The community needs development. It just needs development that is suitable for this place. And as Vastu Kar said, this is the place. For many reasons, it is not suitable for construction. This is completely possible. I have been living here for the last five years. I can give you pictures of many of the boulders. In fact, one part of my yard is in the outskirts. That is why I am familiar with it. Apart from this, I think that my community's acceptance of pedestrians is really something special. And if possible, I want to keep it. You will see the children coming and going to school. You will see mothers waiting for the bus at the end of the road with their children's car where they come to pick up their small children. People, families, people with dogs and ice cream car. This is still a very remote area. So when you think about development, this is a very special and important part of the property. And if you look at the layout, every other part of the car is separated from the protection area. This is only a part of the property that was developed, which is not like this. I am not saying that it should be put back into the area of protection. I want it to be used by the community. But for me, C1 is a drama because it means that anything can be done here. They can make a market or a gas station or anything. And it is not necessary that it is something that the community wants or that it needs. Therefore, if it can be given as a voice, then my biggest hope would be that you keep the voice of Woodside in mind. This is a village and even today it seems like a village. When I came to live here, my neighbors who used to go to church, used to come to talk to me every Sunday. When I used to be in the courtyard, they used to lean against the fence and talk to me. And the church was used by the community. There, barbecues were held for the youth. There were outreach activities. There were many things that made it a wonderful part of the community. I know that I cannot bring it back. But if Vikas takes into account the cultural and historical importance of walking tourists of the Kare community, then I think it is very important to include all these things in the agenda. Amritsar, you have a lot to say. Do I have any questions for you?

12:51 – 13:24Speaker 5

I just want to remind my fellow cyclists what is happening in Five Forks. This is exactly the same situation. We will create the same situation here as well.
