24:04 – 24:19•Patrizia Bonaduce

Yes, Madam Vice Mayor, if I may, I just wanted to end up saying that if there is someone in the village who will really make some period-appropriate renovation, it's Mr. Bittner.

1:11:53 – 1:13:04•Patrizia Bonaduce

Wonderful, wonderful. Thank you, Eddie. Of course. Okay, so as you see, just like a scrambled numbers, it doesn't have to be in this particular order, but I found two English cottage houses from the 30s that are designated, one Art Deco, and three Southern Colonials. Those six... Are historic designated? I don't know if you want to go that route. I think it's important to respect the houses from the 30s and 40s that have been designated to motivate people to keep doing it. And the rest, I just fill them up with houses that has caught my attention in the village. there's one the number uh seven

1:13:13 – 1:13:25•Patrizia Bonaduce

So that's why I selected from east of US 1. For example, number 7, I found there is a Robert Loewy streamlined modern house spectacular on 96th Avenue.

1:13:57 – 1:15:47•Patrizia Bonaduce

could be a way to educate the community about that style prairie style from france and frank lloyd wright also 96 and i found out that the architect is george reid that is an amazing architect too so it's just houses that i throw you know like from what we have used already that are mid-century modern and Mediterranean. Just to like start to illustrate people that we have a richness in architectural styles. And finally, I think there's some example of Arteco architecture. Barely in the 1930, because some places says 1921, These are fantastic elementary schools. I'm just proposing to have it de

1:17:17 – 1:17:47•Patrizia Bonaduce

yeah that's number six right here oh he's number six yeah six yeah yeah i would definitely include that one yeah he's already submitted his paper at the end of the six just to give time six months to like have it designated officially right yeah that's great what about number two but number two yes number two is the simpler one but i read the designation The problem I have with it is if you drive by it now the landscaping is really

1:18:44•Patrizia Bonaduce

It's fantastic, though. The architect is fantastic. And by the way, it's the same architect from house number one.

1:19:39 – 1:19:54•Patrizia Bonaduce

And next door, there are two houses almost next door that both of them are designated and have fantastic architects, number three and number four. Number three and four. EP3s. And with the reader, imagine the same.

1:20:40 – 1:21:03•Patrizia Bonaduce

No, no, I'm talking about designation, Jeffrey. Oh, right. So that's a great thing to put on the table. Maybe the same month that we make the party, because we haven't done yet that, the official designation, maybe that month. We can put it at the end. We can put it number five or number six. I don't know. I just give them time.

1:21:13 – 1:21:25•Patrizia Bonaduce

What we can do is just listen. I propose just to choose number 134 for now. And next month in March, we decide the rest.

1:22:30•Patrizia Bonaduce

And it looks like they're going to sell it.

1:23:32•Patrizia Bonaduce

We can encourage them. I owe you the list. So I'm going to email you the full updated national and locally designated houses list.

1:24:50•Patrizia Bonaduce

Wait a second. Why not make the same as the six months?

1:24:59 – 1:25:14•Patrizia Bonaduce

But, you know, he's designated, and I don't think he will feel okay. You know, next door, we just celebrate one and not his that he did. You know, after two or three years, he finally agreed to designate the house. That's number five.

1:25:44 – 1:25:55•Patrizia Bonaduce

seven houses for now and we then choose the remaining three. Number one, number three, four, five, six, seven and ten.

1:26:03 – 1:27:06•Patrizia Bonaduce

Okay, I repeat, for your records, I repeat, we are choosing the story houses of the month starting in the month of March, houses number one, number three, four, five, six, seven, and ten. Those are... seven houses and the remaining three we can we have plenty of time to uh well it should be the next month for for me to have a calendar and post it on on social media but it's okay for now plus we have to send out letters right like we did uh last year yes i can we have to write the blurb letters yes i can send the letters i'm in charge of sending the letters and uh jeffrey you wrote the blurb la

1:28:41•Patrizia Bonaduce

There are three more remaining for the month of March. We've approved seven. Let's keep looking for houses. Three more, you know, to go.
