18:58•Patrizia Bonaduce

I will follow you because you can see the material and I will follow what you decide.

20:51•Patrizia Bonaduce

You have individual colors, pre-blends, and aged reds.

21:57•Patrizia Bonaduce

I think the red would be too shiny, too modern for the house. But if it's

25:52 – 26:51•Patrizia Bonaduce

so this also i made sure okay um my opinion is that definitely the red will not go to the house and the older ones you can uh go for farther on page 10 that the color this is very nice page 10 to 11 you can see the actual Yeah, we're talking about 20 years minimum Because it's like 30 days or 15 days longer to wait. That's my opinion.

36:10 – 36:45•Patrizia Bonaduce

We have three more houses to choose, October, November, and December. And I made a list of the architectural styles that we already approved in the last meeting. And the more we have in Southern Colonial, we already chose three. So I would like to suggest that we, for educational purposes and to be diversity with all styles, maybe we can choose the remaining three in the Art Deco or Streamline Moderns.

37:05•Patrizia Bonaduce

Let me explain. Let me explain. Eddie, what you put on the agenda was my first suggestion, was not the final list. Right.

38:09 – 38:23•Patrizia Bonaduce

Okay. I recommended two for the three remaining spaces. One is in the Art Deco style, 408 Grand Concourse.

38:29 – 38:46•Patrizia Bonaduce

with the corner sides and even the potholes for the windows. It's a very specific Art Deco house, very significant. And the other one, it's a property...

39:36 – 39:49•Patrizia Bonaduce

Okay, let's just correct the architectural style much better. And the other one, it is Art Moderne. It's on 1285 Northeast 104th Street.

40:08•Patrizia Bonaduce

which I'm gonna talk about that on board member.

41:12 – 41:50•Patrizia Bonaduce

We were in one of the events at the library, and we think we were doing some preservation event. And the owner of the house was very reluctant to even consider or mentioning about preserving her house. And she doesn't like preservation or any kind of preservation. events or even taking care of what the house really means for the village. So I think that we could focus on people that really actually

44:41 – 45:06•Patrizia Bonaduce

Yes, Patricia. All the residents were, letters were sent out. Even one of them, she answered me very happy. But the schools can just take the place for the elementary school because they haven't been notified yet.

47:52 – 48:14•Patrizia Bonaduce

But if we have more... We point out it could be more educational for everybody because every month with a new announcement of a new house, you know, we just describe the whole architecture and the details. That's educational. So that's why if we just change the Monterey Colonial with Street by Modern, it's a good...

54:16•Patrizia Bonaduce

May I see the flag? Because it's such a big delay.

54:35•Patrizia Bonaduce

I can see it in one minute because the video has one minute delay.

56:40 – 56:52•Patrizia Bonaduce

I can take opportunity. Well, the letter, maybe they just have received it. That was the same month that they will have the sign, the garden sign.

1:05:55 – 1:06:08•Patrizia Bonaduce

to have that ordinance because I couldn't find it. And that should have been after, you know, these 1988 designations. I don't know. Somebody has the ordinance?

1:27:21 – 1:27:57•Patrizia Bonaduce

Well, I have three. Let's start for one, and then we can continue. I would like to... to make comments about that workshop that Michelle attended for all of us, which I appreciate very much, Michelle. Yes, thank you so much. I watched it online and I was in shock because a couple of things with the village attorney. First of all, she wasn't aware that designating properties without the owner's consent comes from the county and not from the village, so we cannot

1:28:20 – 1:30:31•Patrizia Bonaduce

Another thing with that journey, she was questioning our tools. And believe me, our tools have been self-funded We haven't asked for any penny for doing our tools. And indeed, you were right. Those are educational purposes. So I was really impressed. I don't know. I felt the lack of support in any way. But that's my personal opinion. I think it's being misinterpreted was a comment that I don't know if it was against the whole board or maybe directly to me when one of the village council members said that a member of the board went there to threaten the designation without the owner's consent.
