Planning, Programming & Zoning Commission - Regular Meeting

I declare open this meeting of the Commission for the planning, the program and the zoning. First of all, I take a motion to approve the order of the day of the 1st of September, 2026. There is some discussion. We can move the points B1, C1 and D1. They concern all St. Mary's. All those who are in favor of approving the order of the day with such consideration say yes. Some contradictions. Motion approved. Next point. Examine the meeting's verbals. When someone is ready, accept a motion to approve the meeting's verbals of August 14, 2026.

Motion approved.

Schelberg. There is a motion and a second. Any objections or discussion? All those who are in favor of approving the agenda say yes. Some contradictions. Motion approved. We have a request for special permission. First of all, a request from Ashley Murphy for a special permission to allow a home activity in an accessory structure in the R21 residential district for two families, located at 710 Kirkwood Avenue, pages 10 to 17.

This request from the office staff does not seem to have a negative impact on the surrounding areas.

The proposed use is a legal domestic activity. A special permit is necessary only because it will be in an accessory structure. The proposed special permit does not seem to have a negative impact on traffic conditions, vehicle or pedestrian in the area. Cude Avenue and Bismarck Avenue are both classified as local roads. The property in question is classified as a residential district for two families. At the north there is the residential area R2 for two families. At the east there is Cude Avenue, the residential area R212 for two families and the planned residential district R1 RRP. At the south there is the residential area R212 for two families. And in the west there is the residential area R. Vincione 2 for two families. The applicant asks for permission for a dog toilet activity as a domestic activity in a separate accessory structure. This zoning ordinance was modified on June 20, 2022 with ordinance 56648 to require any domestic activity located in an accessory structure to obtain a special permit to ensure that the property continues to have sufficient parking and that use is appropriate. The garage of this property is 300 feet. The property seems to have enough open parking spaces to meet the parking requirements for a family home. Requirements for all domestic activities. The activities must be conducted exclusively by residents and not by non-residential employees. It is not allowed the use of electrical or mechanical appliances that modify the resistance class at the fire of the building. No domestic activity should cause an increase in the use of one or more utilities such that the total consumption combined for housing and activity exceeds that of an average resident of the neighborhood. No external storage is allowed for domestic activity, except for unregistered vehicles. The activity must not generate traffic higher than the volume normally expected in a residential neighborhood. It must not create noise, dust, vibrations, odors, smoke, suffocation, electrical interference, danger of fire or any other risk or higher disturbance than normally expected in normal circumstances without domestic activity. are not allowed to sell in detail exhibitions to sell It is allowed a non-illuminated sign of two square feet fixed to the main structure or visible through the window. The staff would consider a toilet activity for dogs similar to a beauty salon. A barber is allowed as a domestic activity, although they have only one station. If the toilet activity provides service only to animals at a time and is not offered by pension or day care, then it would be allowed as a domestic activity. Therefore, the staff recommends that the request of Ashley Murphy for a special permit intended to allow a domestic activity in an accessory structure in the residential district R212, located at 712 Kirkwood Avenue, be approved for the areas exposed. The request does not seem to have a negative impact on the area. The request does not seem to have a negative impact on vehicle traffic on the area. The request is in accordance with the general plan for future use of the territory. the proposal of domestic activity seems to be able to meet the requirements provided by the zoning ordinance subject to the following conditions that the final plan of the site meets all the codes and regulations applicable to citizens including parking limits, landscape, drainage, etc. and that the domestic activity continues to meet all the requirements provided The garage door cannot be removed from the accessory structure so that it can be reused as a garage once the domestic activity has been completed in such a way that the building is still considered a garage and the property does not become non-conforming to minimum requirements. Domestic activity is limited to one client at a time, only his appointment and no pension or dog shelter are allowed.

Questions for the staff.

Commissioner Enrico, I have a question for the staff. I see from these photos that there are no reviews around. So this surely means that the dogs are taken away and then they return home with the owner. Just like that. Because dogs run in the yard. And I say it because I have two dogs, right? And getting dogs in and out several times can be stressful. Some might like others, others not.

Other questions for the staff?

The applicant is present. Go ahead. Say her name and address. We know her. For the public speech, tell us a little about what it is.

I'm Chandra Murphy. This is Ashley, my wife. I didn't know that I should have given you a previous information package. I'm sorry. I can show it to you later. I have here a small description that I wrote. If you don't mind, I would like to read it. No, go ahead. Try not to be too polite. It will be a small dog toilet activity on appointment in the garage managed by Ashley, not by me. It will be limited in size and scope and she plans to toilet 4 dogs a day with scheduled appointments so that a single dog is in the garage at any time. There will be no overlap between appointments and all activities will take place inside the existing independent garage. Part of the reason why she does it is that she toilets older dogs and some older dogs. They become susceptible, as you said, if there are other dogs in the kennels. So he's trying to manage them one at a time just to specialize in this. So there will be no open kennels, training areas or pensions. Dogs will be in the property only for their programming toilet appointments. Customers will use our toilet. We have extra space for drop offs and the pick up. We have indicated that we will maintain the property so that it continues to have the appearance of a residence and remains consistent with the neighborhood. The noise related to the toilet, the bathroom and the noise of the equipment will be kept at a reasonable minimum. Every residue of hair and waste will be adequately contained and disposed of and the working hours will be limited to the daytime hours and the first afternoon to avoid disturbing the neighbors when they are not at work. And then the part related to the utilities, the water. We did our best to make estimates. I called Waterloo Waterworks and they used CCF for their measurements. We are currently at 2 and she said that the minimum was between 0 and 3. I estimated about 800 gallons a month more and she said it would take us around 3 or 4, which would be just above the minimum rate. So I don't think it will have a great impact on our water. And then electricity is a little more complicated. I tried to talk to the midamerica of kilowatt hours and all the rest but they only gave me the monthly average bill we intend to isolate the interior for the winter to try to contain the electrical consumption in addition to this the only changes we had in the program were the addition of an adequate plumbing yesterday a hydraulic came to see if it was possible and then they would only need small electrical updates for the dryer for dogs and similar things But apart from this, I think we will simply end up making the garage a better garage, since it will be his activity. So it wouldn't really seem like a commercial activity. We also collected a petition signed by about seven neighbors, some of whom have lived in the neighborhood for 30 or 40 years and were all in agreement. Overall, I think it will be a low-impact small-scale activity, it is only his appointment that the neighbors will not even notice.

Do you want to submit that petition? There are questions from the Commission for the applicant. I think you have a well-structured plan.

Okay.

Is there anyone else in the classroom who would like to intervene at this point in the order of the day? Is there anyone on Zoom who would like to talk about this point? At this point, I am ready to receive a motion on this point in the order of the day.

I propose to approve the request of Ashley Murphy for a special permit that allows a domestic activity in an accessory structure in the residential district for two families R21, located at 710 Kirkwood Avenue, subordinately to the following conditions. that the site's final plan is in accordance with all the citizens' codes and regulations, applicable including not only parking, landscaping, drainage, etc. and that the domestic activity continues to meet all the required requirements. The garage door cannot be removed from the accessory structure so that it can be used as a garage once the domestic activity is finished and so that the building is still considered such, preventing the property from respecting the minimum requirements for the garage. Domestic activity is limited to one customer at a time, only on appointment, and no pension or dog asylum are allowed.

Thank you. We have a motion and a second. Is there any discussion? I do not hear anything. Who is in favor of the approval of the point? At the order of the day, you communicate it by saying yes. Contrary? Those are late. They are yes. Contrary? The motion is approved. Thank you for following the procedure, right? And for providing many details. This helps a lot. Things? So I hope you succeeded in your initiatives. 16.13 and an audience is expected for a request from the city of Waterloo. to reclassify about 4.35 acres of bi-family residential area R21-2 to R2RP conditional zoning district to allow the development of 17 residential lots located at the northwest corner of East Parker Street and East 4th Street and East 4th Street ex-Saint Mary's page 18-24 in the package. At this moment we will have to receive and file a verification statement signed by Alissa Little, which states, I, Alissa Little, certify that a copy of the linked letter, the aerial photo and the planimetry has been sent to each individual in the linked list via post-ordinary on August 13, 2026. Can we have a motion to receive and file this notice? Certainly.

Second, Schelberg.

All right. All those who are in favor of receiving and archiving the notice, I indicate it. Oh yes, I indicate it by saying yes. Contrary. The motion is approved.

So this is a request for reclassification of 425 acres of land from the Bifamily Residential District R21-2 to the Conditional Zoning District RUGGZ and to the Residential District . The request for reclassification does not seem to have a negative impact on the surrounding area since the area is predominantly residential and the request would allow the creation of 17 new residential lots. The request for reclassification does not seem to have a negative impact on vehicle or pedestrian traffic conditions in the area. The site is served by East Parker Street, which is a local road, and East 4th Street, which is a connecting road. There are sidewalks along East Parker Street and East 4th Street, as well as along the proposed St. Mary's Circle street. The area in question has been partially zoned, as is the R21 Bifamiliare residential district since the adoption of the zoning ordinance in 1969. and partly as R2CZ, Conditional Zone District since it was reclassified as R21, Bifamily Residential District with Order No. 3035 of July 2, 1979. The uses of the surrounding soil and the relevant zoning designations are as follows. In the north, south, east and west there are zoning residential properties such as R21, Bifamily Residential District. The surrounding area consists mainly of residential properties and in the Gates Park. The dwellings were built mainly between 1939. The George Washington Carpenter Middle School is located about 1600 feet north-west of the site in question and the Gates Park is located about 200 feet north-east of the site in question. A drainage plan was not requested for the request for re-classification of the zone. The drainage was requested for the new loting and was shown in the preliminary planimetry presented in a separate request. The northwest corner of the site is located in an area at risk of special flooding, including the exhumation area. The portion of property found in the alluvial plain in the exhumation area will not be used to fertilize the site. The reclassification area meets all the requirements of the zoning ordinance, since it exceeds the two acres, which is the minimum size, to require the passage to an RP zoning district. The applicant has presented a question for a preliminary plan to create 17 new residential lots. The applicant proposes to reclassify 4.35 acres of land by R2RP, a planned residential district. The reclassification would allow the creation of 17 new residential lots. The site of reclassification is the former headquarters of the church and the school of St. Mary's. St. Mary's was demolished in 2025, as the building on the site had been empty for years and was seriously dilapidated. The property is an ideal position for the filling buildings, being surrounded by other residential properties near a park that future residents will be able to use and enjoy. The RP designation allows a certain flexibility in the design of the lot to fully use the land, but is specific to the site plan. This provides guarantees to the neighbors on what will be built with any changes that will have to go through a process of amendment of the site plan that would include the notification to the neighbors. In addition, they have served on the property that the city is requiring to revoke. The technical revision committee has not had objections to this request. The map of the future use of the land, a component of the general plan, designates this area as a mixed residential area with professional offices, low, medium and high density residences. This request is in accordance with such a designation since the reclassification area will allow the building to be completed. Therefore, the staff recommends that the request of the city of Waterloo to reclassify about 435 acres of R21 and 2 Femini Residence District, R2CZ, Conditional Zoning District, Air Blend Residence District, to allow the development of 17 residential lots located at the northwest corner between East Parker Street and East 4th Street Lex St. Mary's, be approved for the following reasons. 1. The request will allow to create new residential lots in a completion site. 2. The request does not seem to have a negative impact on the neighborhood or on the traffic conditions in the area. 3. The request is according to the general plan, to the map of use of the land in the future and the following conditions. 4. That the site's final plan meets all the codes and regulations applicable to the citizens, including, as an exemplary example, green parking lots, screens, drainage, etc. As for The request to revoke is binding. It proposes to revoke 33,063 square feet of services on the side of the former church and school of St. Mary, St. Mary. With the re-qualification plan for this site, such services are no longer necessary. We also recommend the approval of this point. As for the preliminary plan, it shows the creation of 17 new residential lots and 3 areas. Area A will be designated as the St. Mary's Circle. Area B will be reserved by the city for drainage purposes and flood control. Area C will be reserved for future development. A request has been made to modify the navigation zone in area B. Most of the lots will be of 7,000 square feet. The largest lot will be of 8,988 square feet. square feet. The minimum size of the lot in the residential district below R21 for family members is 6,000 feet for single-family homes. All lots are larger than 60 feet, which is the minimum width in the planned residential district R2RP. There will be a public utility service of 5 feet along the front line of each lot and along the southern border of lots 1, 12 and 13. There will be drainage services of 10 feet along lots 14, 16 and 17. There will be another drainage service and variable width sanitary flooring that will be in lots from 1 to 12. The planimetry shows all the required elements for the preliminary planimetry. The staff also recommends the approval of the preliminary planimetry.

All right. It was a long intervention. There are police officers who have questions for the staff.

I'm Commissioner Schauberg. That 14-foot-tall building east of Boston Avenue is still in operation. As if it were still there today. On the north side of the area to be rezoned.

Right towards the... So you're talking about the north side that doesn't go into this area of rezoning?

Correct.

I don't think there was ever a gap on the paper. At the moment I think there are only grass and trees.

I just wanted to make sure that it wouldn't become a problem that ends up getting stuck in someone's lot.

I think that the Skolo channel will actually divide that canal from there, no? Wayne Castle, Vice Engineer, Chief of the City. Oh yes, he will do it. The canal you are referring to? It is a canal on paper. It is essentially part of the flood control system. We will be connected to the B track that we will maintain as part of our flood control system. So we will still have access to that back part. Otherwise, it is not really usable. We have chosen not to include it as part of this action.

I see that it is not usable at the moment, so it's fine. Thank you.

Are there any other questions for the staff? Oh, thank you. Is there anyone in the Board of Directors who would like to talk about this point in the order of the day? Please declare your name and address.

My name is Claudia Robinson. My address is 216 Oliver Street. So I'm probably the second house on the right from Oliver and not directly in front of St. Mary's. The point is that you are talking about coming to a neighborhood where I am enthusiastic about the idea of ​​new houses in the neighborhood. This is exciting for me. But I live in an isolated place where I don't have 17 houses in that isolated place. I'm interested in understanding how you will put all those houses in that single area that is above. I don't know what you call it. Inundation. Diga or whatever it is. How do you intend to cover it? As a person who comes to that neighborhood to buy a house, I would be very worried about buying a house built on that property. I'm also interested in knowing, talk about these houses, what size they will be. And the point is this. You talk about things, you talk to a community that doesn't know all these terms you say and don't. You have to take the time to explain to the people around this area what you are bringing and what it means. And this is not done by sending this letter with all those numbers and letters that don't tell us anything. And so I'm not at ease with this. I know the area needs more, but I'm also worried about what you want to build and how much you will ask to do it. Will you build a house on the sand? And then at what price? So I worry about the impact on my neighbors. I know that many people in that neighborhood are old or have come to miss and now. There are many properties in rent. It could be exciting for those who own properties in that area, but not for me who own a house and intend to stay there. Ho intenzione di tenere la mia casa. Voglio che la mia casa resti alla mia famiglia quando non ci sarò più. Per questo sono preoccupato per queste cose. Penso che dobbiate capire cosa fare affinché il quartiere comprenda davvero cosa sta succedendo.

I will show you the dimensions of these lots. I have lived on a 54 foot wide lot for 17 years. I like it. These lots are 60 feet wide. These lots have on average the same depth as mine. It takes me about half an hour to plow the grass. I have about 1,100 feet of house. I have a nice big garage. I don't find that the proposed fights are offensive in any way and I think they are more than capable of offering space for a house. And as for the drainage, I see that there is a lot of attention to make sure that the water goes where it should go. I think the staff did a good job to guarantee dry basins. So here is my question.

I don't know all these terms, but I thought you said five feet behind?

For the servants. You with a servant and we are here to help? The servants are essentially that grassy area on the edge of the property where there could be electric lines, fiber, internet.

So I know what a servant is. Is it part of the servant or is it included in the court?

It's more or less a courtyard, but there are things that you can't do, like blocking it with a fence.

This is my question. Is that the total part behind the house, five feet? I just wish that it wasn't just a letter that we were more committed to trying to reach the people of this community, including myself, and really let us know what is happening, how it will influence us and what will be the costs, the value of our homes, because we don't do this job. Let's not sit at these desks. Let's pay no attention to these meetings. and therefore we will need to be a little more involved and have a little more awareness of what is happening.

Understandable. Thank you. We are here to help. The staff here is fantastic. They know these things well. We, the commissioners, don't do this every day. Sometimes we have the same questions you have. But thanks for these legitimate concerns. Is there anyone else in the classroom who would like to speak? Go ahead. Tell me your name and address, please.

My name is Renee Carson and I am here on behalf of my mother, 2024 Forest, and my sister, 2028 Forest. I think it would have helped people more if they had had a visual representation of how these houses will be placed on the lot, instead of just telling us how they will be, if they could really see it. I think it would help a little more to understand how much space there is, because we don't want to see houses in a row everywhere, or narrow and long houses everywhere. We want it to be beautiful in this part of the city, because we already have enough difficulty here with the houses that are pulled up like this. So I think a visual representation, if we knew how these houses will be positioned on this property, if we could see it, really And then we want to know how these houses will be assigned to people, because we don't want to see another Loganale project. We don't want to see it in East 4th Street, in that area, because people keep their houses and are concerned about the value of their properties. So I think that if we had a visual, if we could see it, really see how these houses will be positioned, it would help a lot. Thank you.

We can have the visual of the initial planimetry on the monitors up there, just in case. If they are available. Let's hope probably from that side or from the other. So what you're seeing there is the lot. It seems that this area is a little bigger than an isolated one. And on the east side they will have the rows of lots of ... And you will have, like many isolated ones, the courts that face each other with a drainage in the middle. and then on the other side you have practically a blind alley or a end a space to do inversion and other houses so they are practically ordered lots that will fit the most into the character of the existing neighborhood so I have a question can you tell me your name and address please?

I'm Sherry Stanford I'm at 1929 East Forest Street So my courtyard ends, I have a courtyard in the back that borders that alley. Once they made an eruption in my house coming right from that side. So I'm trying to figure out what you're going to do with this fence. It's a fence. There are no trees. There are trees in another lot. A house that needs to be demolished or something, but the fence is practically fine. It's just that you can't go through it.

Okay, we have an answer here.

So, Wayne Castle, municipal engineer assistant. There's a vineyard behind his house that doesn't have a road on it.

It's just grass. It's a road, but they blocked it. There's another guy at the corner. He died and put a block there, so you can't go in or out of the vineyard. So you can park in the alley and everything. But as I say, when they come to unpack, they arrive from behind my garage. They skip the reception. Because my garage... I have to come from East Forest Street to get into my garage. Now, on the back I have a lot, that is, yes, I have a lot back there. With a reception that surrounds it, which is the alley. but it is barred because there is a railing that blocks it.

We do not propose access to vehicles for anyone, we do not propose vehicles for this development. It will be accessible from the road. St. Mary's Circle, Parker or 4th Street.

Because I thought you said that the vehicle was full of grass or something else, which it is not. I'm on a dirt road.

I'm trying to understand this.

I've been living there for 19 years and I'm the owner of the house.

The building I was referring to before is actually a concrete drain. So it would be on the fourth street.

This original neighborhood was designed in 1910. The lots were about 50 by 130 feet. Uh, the projects of the time usually foresaw that access to the courtyard was a... a... a... a... a... a... a... a... a... a... a... a... a... a... a... a... a... a... a... a... a... a... a... a... a... And I don't think we are in the same isolated place where she is. The alleys that we have in this general area. The one directly north of us. Across the area of ​​the ... Waring Creek. It is not usable as an alley. The one on the west side is isolated, behind the few houses near Sherman. Uh, that is an open alley for those houses, but it is not connected to this subpark. And then you can go through the alley. She is on the one directly to the south, isolated to the south. It seems that it has opened only for a part of the isolated and not for the rest. Can I talk to you after the meeting to deepen the question a bit? That could be a bit out of the scope of this point, at the order of the day. Boom, there's someone else in the council room who would like to talk. Hi, I'm J.Crow from the New Edgemont Avenue. I was looking on Google Maps and the way you have positioned the roundabout there. First of all, I would like to submit this to the council.

It would be admissible or at least advisable, if you are collecting input from residents of the city, to send this discussion to another meeting. Boom, it seems that the residents here have thoughts or concerns. It is a confrontation they would like to face. Observing the situation where the rotatory almost reaches the bottom of the drainage well, my doubt is how that land is reinforced to avoid flooding in winter or during heavy rains, preventing waste, debris or even vehicles end up in the pit. Also regarding the safety of the rail around the blind spot. Is there anyone who can talk about the design of the deflux and road safety, please?

Wayne Castle, vice-engineer, head of the city. So, the drainage pit between the blind spot, not a rotating one. They are two different terms. But there is a very, very big difference. The rotators generate a different reaction. Those are found at Cedar Falls. Here we have an arc on the ground that protects this area from the water of the torrent. and recently, in the last six years, we have raised that protection with a concrete wall. The proposed road will be near the arch, which goes down about a meter and a half or two and a half meters from the top to the ground. The proposed road will be leveled so that it is about 30 centimeters or half a meter above the base of the arch. We will project the drainage along the base of the arch towards the existing holes to the north and south and the road itself will unload towards Parker Street. This is how we manage the drainage in that area. For lots from 1 to 12 we have planned a drain pit in the courtyards, so the water from the houses flows inwards and then south towards Parker Street up to another hole. If I'm not mistaken, here is the level of the road. Here is the summit of the Argyne along that stretch of drainage. It will be necessary to climb up to reach the Argyne and then go down into the drainage pit. Thank you. And Wayne, if I understood correctly, I'm talking to Eric Schrader, urban planner, did you design the blind alley right there on purpose to ensure access to maintenance of the drainage? It is a problem that we encountered during the work of improving the edge of the Verdun Creek. We tried to get our site developer to access it. There is a very narrow road network at that point. So we did it in order to maximize the possibility of developing lots for other housing purposes while maintaining access to the edge for the necessary maintenance. Thank you guys.

We have three or ten minutes available.

And we have five for the urban planning commission.

And the last question is, will there be parking or anti-fire lanes designed around the blind alley?

So, the blind alley, the road towards the areas in question, will be about nine and a half meters. It will be a very local road, so with light traffic, three vehicles can easily pass. You can park one on the side, or you can park two, leaving space for the passage. It will be a blind alley with a diameter of about 27 meters. So you can enter, make an inversion and succeed. Thank you. I have a question for you. Is the blind alley big enough to make a fire truck run? We are discussing this with the fire guards. It should be enough. We are at the lower limit. They tend to be rather demanding and want their space. Which is understandable.

Thank you.

This concludes my comments.

Thank you. Claudia Robinson, Oliver Street, 216. My question is, and I'm sure you've already solved everything, but I'll do it anyway. In the past there have been many problems with the underpass that we had. It was very difficult to fix it because the water continued to rise and break the concrete and finally now we have a great overpass. My question is what will be done exactly?

I'm trying to understand. Are you building and filling up what you now call Argyne? What's going on here? The torrent that crosses...

Burden Creek?

...the area. Are you filling it up? No, the houses will simply be built around it now. Is this what's going on?

Wayne Castle, municipal engineer assistant? No, we won't touch the Virian Creek site at all.

So everything remains as it is today, right?

Yes, part of the service of passage was revoked in 1969 after a series of floods. The city has collaborated with the church of St. Mary's to create the channel of the Viran Torrent as we see it today. They bought the services on the ground of the church to be able to install, making a leap of 60 years. The church is gone. Those services basically cover the area we now have and where the Virian Torrent is closed. We will not touch anything, we have brought improvements, we have FEMA on our side that supports everything we have done there, so that part remains as it is, we are developing everything that is outside that area.

So, do you foresee some problems in the near future for the people who will build these houses regarding the presence of a semi-buried area?

We have worked with planning, community development, design and engineering regarding the general arrangement of these lots and what they were looking for for affordable houses that determine, in a sense, the dimensions. We are looking for something that offers flexibility. In the design, the semiterrates are an option. The church had a semiterrate. Also the other buildings of the church had semiterrates there. So they could have semiterrates.

But you are not sure? I mean,

That depends entirely on the developers who will be in charge of building these houses.

So this worries me because a person should want to buy a house near such a place without fear of having water problems at a certain point. Especially someone who knows this community well. It would be a concern for me and I would like to know if there will be something to protect the people who will buy these houses because I am concerned about the fact that they will be built. I am sure they will cost a lot and then when things happen and it will not be paradise that we think people will remain blocked.

I would just like to point out that the church had a gym that was probably about 15 feet below the ground level. There will not be water inside. None of these houses will have a deep or far-reaching cemetery. The improvements made to the flood control there are some of the best that you have probably never seen. Everything has been well considered and I know that ensuring that we have the correct levels and the mitigation of floods or less worries In the past years, in this commission, living in this city, we know all the neighborhoods that have problems with water and landfills and that perhaps are not the best place to build a house. I don't want to make names, but in general I don't think of the area around St. Mary's.

So how long do you think this project will last?

As for the timetables, we can go through urban planning and the council could possibly plan to start work next spring. It is probably too late to start land movements in this period of the year, so next spring would most likely be the earliest time to start.

This concerns the infrastructure of the loting.

It would require the work of banking, road construction, installation of utilities, water, fountains, gas and similar. Then we will look for builders to build the houses.

And do you know how access to the neighborhood will change and how we will be able to move?

Yes, it is part of the project. If you notice between lots 1 and 12, on the east side, between the proposed St. Mary's and East 4th Street, we have designed a façade that will pass in the middle of these backward lots. We did it to avoid having to dig in East 4th Street to access the sewer. Furthermore, the waterway in East 4th Street is located on the west side, so even in this case we do not have to cut the road for the connections. We plan three links on Parker Street to connect the sewers to existing infrastructures. We tried to understand how to do it without impacting pavement, nearby traffic.

So these houses will not look like my houses that were planted in the northeast side of Waterloo and have a horrible look. They will have a similar look, since they will not have cellars. Remember that they wait for those houses.

I do not believe that the houses will have that aspect. The actual design of the houses has not yet been chosen. We are just tracing the notation. And once the subdivision is defined, we will have a process to identify the builders who will build the houses. And this is one of the advantages of our proposal of reclassification in a planned district that would make the specific project for the site. So it should go through a process of modification of the regulatory plan to ensure that those projects are compatible and not something considered inappropriate, as they have generally been considered by mobile homes.

Almost more like a mobile home.

Exactly. I was waiting for him to say it, but yes.

These fights will be very similar to those already in the neighborhood. And usually with some of these in which we have a little control, we try to ensure that the built houses adapt to the character of the neighborhood. Many times we consider green spaces, but fortunately we have the Gates Park 200 feet away, so there will be places where children can play. There could be a concern and we hope there is a good pedestrian crossing on this fourth. But it's easy to fix, right? Someone else in the advisory room would like to intervene at this point in the order of the day. Another question. Another question.

How will these houses be accessed? I mean, how are they from Parker Street, from this fourth street, or how will they be accessed?

Wayne Castro, municipal vice-engineer. So, there will be six lots facing East 4th. The south lot between Parker and the fourth could access both from Parker and East 4th. The six behind them, at least the five further north, would be on St. Mary's Circle with the one in the background on St. Mary's or Parker Street. The five west of St. Mary's Circle. The three higher up will be on St. Mary's Circle. The two in the background with the right could be on St. Mary's or Parker Street. And the one further away would be on Parker Street.

In what way did you move?

Well, since it is understandable, there should not be a minimal impact. There are already several houses along the road. This section has good visibility, so people should be able to go backwards without big problems.

My mother lives directly. So that's why I'm worried about how they will go up and down the road and so on. Will something change on the road?

We do not plan to make changes to the road at the moment and we do not plan to make changes. Last appeal for comments on this point in the order of the day.

Another question.

Do the houses on the 8th look like Edison? Do you know how those houses look like? One in front of the other and in the middle there is only a sidewalk.

Will they be just normal houses with a road in the front courtyard?

Well, there is someone on Zoom who wants to intervene at this point in the order of the day. I accept a motion to close the public hearing.

Agreed.

All in favor? The manifesto says yes. Anyone against? The motion is approved. I accept a motion on this point at the order of the day.

Here Shelbert. I propose to approve points B1, the reclassification, C1 the slum and D1 the preliminary plan for the former site of St. Mary's. Do you want me to read all the conditions? The conditions for the classification are the final plan with respect to all the codes, regulations, etc. and applicable citizens included but not limited to parking, green system, screens, drainage, etc. None for the slum and for the preliminary plan, which is the final plan with respect to all the codes, regulations and so on. Citizens included, but not limited to parking, green system, screens, drainage, etc.

All right, we have a motion and a second. Is there any discussion?

Commissioner Rico, given the great changes that are coming to the neighborhoods, I am happy that we have answered the questions that we have discussed. And as always, often because we live here, we ask ourselves, is it something that we would like to do at home? And the answer is yes, it would be great. So, having said that, all those who are in favor of the approval of B1, C1 and D1, say yes. Yes. Contrary. The motion is approved.

Well, at the moment this is a recommendation, so these will go to the municipal council.

Yes, those will go to the municipal council. But I would prefer that the questions about it were answered here before and not to create fear, but sometimes the change is positive. It's 4.52 pm. And at this time an audience is expected for the request of Moëlle Ambroz or Michael, I'm sorry.

Tim Muell. Tim Muell, thank you.

In this moment, we will have to receive and archive a verification statement signed by Alissa Little, which states, I, Alissa Little, certify with the present that a copy of the letter, of the aerial photo and of the alleged planimetry has been sent to each person present in the alleged list through Post Ordinaria on 17 August Ordinaria, 17 August 2026. Could we have a motion to receive and archive this notice? All right. All those who are in favor of receiving and archiving this notice, the sign saying yes. Some are against. Emotion approved.

Let's move on to the personnel. The request to rezone the property does not seem to have a negative impact on the surrounding area, since there are residences on both sides of the property in question. The proposed rezone does not seem to have a negative impact on vehicle or pedestrian conditions in the area, since the applicant proposes to build a single-family home. The site is located at the intersection between Park Road and St. Albans Street, both classified as local roads. The area in question has been classified as an industrial district M1 since the adoption of the zoning ordinance in 2018. The uses of its surroundings and their zoning are as follows. In the north there are Park Road, St. Albans Street, residential and commercial area classified as R3, multiple residential district. In the south there are free land, public housing, residences and Broadway Street classified as an industrial district M1. To the east, there are residencies, free land, roads, Harrison Street and Oak Avenue, classified as M1 industrial district and multiple residential district R3. To the west, there are residencies, multi-family accommodation, free land and commercial activities, classified as M1 industrial district. Residential development took place between 1897 and 1981, commercial between 1983 and 1985. The property is located in an alluvial area, as indicated by the map of the insurance tax against alluvial areas of the Federal Insurance Administration, number of community 1, of which, from January 9, 1936. The property is located in an alluvial area, as indicated by the map of the insurance tax against alluvial areas of the Federal Insurance Administration, dated July 18, 2011. Therefore, the new house should be built at a foot above the full base height , removed from the alluvial zone before construction. However, the area could have been removed from the state of the alluvial zone through a revision letter issued by FEMA in 2024. the staff is working on the extensions this revision of the map and just to inform you when fema sent us the map showed the east and west side but did not show this area so we did not know if it had been removed if it had been During the technical revision, the engineering department has found that the property has two walkways and entrances, one of which should be removed by reattaching a footrest and a grass blanket at the time of the construction of the house. The claimants wanted to reclassify the ownership of the light industrial area M1 to the multiple residential area R3 to build a family home. The area in question has always been a mix of commercial and residential activity. When the area was originally classified as M1, the southwest area was predominantly industrial and served by railways, and a railway line of the Illinois Central ran along Utica Street. Therefore, it was believed that It was believed that the area would continue to develop as an industrial zone. Since then the railway line has been abandoned and the industries used by the railway have moved to other areas of the city. Although some industrial and commercial uses remain in the immediate vicinity, the area has not seen developments for many years and reclassification would allow the area to receive new investments and the former site of the Longfield School in the north will be re-qualified in the near future. Since the site is probably located within a centennial alluvial plain, the new house should be built according to the regulations on the alluvial areas, including that the lowest point of the property is one foot above the property is one foot above the alluvial plain of reference of 889. It should be noted that the property is located right on the edge, right on the margins of the alluvial plain. Alternatively, they could consider raising the level of the ground above the alluvial plain of reference rate and remove the site from the alluvial plain before. If the area was removed, the conditions of the alluvial plain should not be applied. The applicant has been informed that zoning standards require that an accessory structure of at least 14 by 20 feet be built together with the house. Therefore, the staff recommends that the request by Malenbrose to reclassify about 0.7 acres of light industrial area M1 to residential area multiple R4 to build a single-family house adjacent to 213 Park Road be approved for the following reasons. their request seems to have a positive impact on the neighborhood through the construction of a new family unit on a vacant lot their request does not seem to have a negative impact on the conditions the request would reclassify a lot where a new family unit could be built in an area that needs reinvestment in the following conditions the final plan of the site satisfies the codes, regulations, etc. of the cities included but not limited to parking, landscaping, drainage, etc. and that the new house is built to meet the regulations on the floodplains if it is discovered that such a house is located.

Thank you. Any questions for the staff? I'm Commissioner Schauberg. It seems that the photo of the property in question shows a beam of light, in addition to a sort of support cable. Will it be a problem? Did you move anything else?

There is no space around.

The commissioner said that the height of the foundation is 851 feet. What is the height of that property? Do we know? It's right next to that area. So it shouldn't be if it's still in the flood zone, so we're waiting for confirmation from FEMA.

we have altimetric maps that are not necessarily accurate to 100% but they indicate that maybe it is a foot below but yes it is the original mlm did not show this side of the road but the update on the fema site seems to show it as removed So we are looking for confirmation if that man actually covered this area, if he did then it's fine. If he didn't do it, I think it will still be fine. They will only have to respect the area.

Well, the reason I asked is that if the level of that property of two feet increases, now the water is pushed towards the neighbors.

So this is something I want to consider when If it is not covered by the current revision of the map, it could be easier to make a Vespas. They can meet the requirements of the aluvian area by building a Vespas with openings.

Thank you. Other questions? I think the request is on Zoom. Do you want to say something about it?

Ma signore, sono qui solo per rispondere a eventuali domande che qualcuno potrebbe avere. Beh, inizieremo da quelli.

Qualche commissario a domande, per il richiedente?

Sì. Sembra che lei sia fortunato, ma grazie per essere qui per noi. C'è qualcuno nell'aula consigliare?

C'è qualcuno nell'aula consigliare che vorrebbe parlare di questo punto all'ordine del giorno? Sottopongo una mozione per chiudere l'udienza pubblica.

Mozione presentata.

Ok.

All those who are in favor of closing the public hearing indicate so. Anyone against?

The motion is approved.

I submit a motion on the point at the order of the day.

I will make a recommendation or rather propose to approve. The request of McColl Ambrose to reclassify about 0,7 acres of industrial district, light M1 to residential district, multiple R3, to build a single-family house adjacent to 213 Park Road, with the following conditions. That the final urban planning of the site meets all the codes and regulations applicable to citizens, including but not limited to parking, green system, drainage, etc. that the new house be built in accordance with the regulations on the flood areas if it were in such an area.

Racker second.

Thank you.

We have a proposal in a second. There is some discussion. All those who are in favor of the approval of the point in the order of the day indicate it by saying yes. Anyone against? The motion is approved. Well, it's 5 p.m. and at this moment there is an audience for a request from Saliv Zovic. Thank you. For an amendment to the site plan, I want to modify the zoning conditions to allow a car show in the zoning district. Conditional C2CZ located at the northwest corner of Conger Street and Fairview Avenue page from 34 to 43 of the package. At this moment we will have to receive and archive a verification statement signed by Alissa Little who affirms I, Alissa Little, certify with the present that a copy of the attached letter, the aerial photo and the site plan has been sent to each individual in the attached list by ordinary post on August 13, 2026. Can we have a motion to receive and archive this notice?

So Schubert's proposal, in my opinion, is good.

All those who are in favor of receiving and archiving this notice indicate it by saying yes. Some are against. The motion is approved. This is the request of the Dornoff staff to modify the zoning conditions of the property that would seem to have a negative impact on the surrounding area, since the area is largely residential and the car showroom does not integrate with the residential character of the area. The proposal of reclassification would not seem to have a negative impact on the pedestrian vehicle conditions in the area, although a car showroom would have a significant impact on the traffic of the area. The site is served by Fairview Avenue, classified as a local road, and by Conger Street, classified as a secondary artery. The area in question has been classified as C2CZ Conditional Zone District, from its reclassification as Bifamily Residential District R21, on October 9, 1995, with Ordinance 41931, the use of the surrounding land and the designation of the owner will follow. In the north, there are free lots and residential areas, the C2CZ Conditional Zone District and the Bifamily Residential District R21. To the south are Conger Street, the Fairview Cemetery and the R2202 residential industrial areas, M1 for the light industry. To the east are Fairview Avenue and the R212 residential district. To the west is the R2202 residential district. The residential areas were built between 1906 and 1951 before the industrial building was rebuilt. During the technical review, the engineering department observed that, given the amount of impermeable surfaces required by the DERS, it could be necessary a plan for meteoric waters. Requirers wish to modify the original zoning conditions to allow a car show at the northwest corner between Conger Street and Fairview Avenue. The property in question was originally a residential area R22162 after the adoption of the zoning ordinance until the passage to the C2CZ air-conditioned area on October 9, 1995 with the ordinance 4 Mon A-31. The reclassification was granted for a domestic gardening activity that at the time operated near the 717 Fairview Avenue. The then conditioned zoning clearly established that no other commercial use would have been allowed on the properties in question. The property was sold in 2002, but has never been reclassified as residential, although there were no indications of further commercial uses. The Fervio 717 Avenue was acquired by the city of Waterloo. The house was demolished in 2017. However, the city of Waterloo has only the northernmost of the three free lots. The other two free lots were sold through the forced sale system. The staff has some perplexities about the request, since the use is not compatible with the area. The area is surrounded by residential areas, with the exception of the industrial building previously served by the railway, now used as a warehouse in the southwest. In addition, in the southeast, the requirer has only the lotto at the southern corner, of only 70,000 square feet, too small for a car show, with the central lotto owned by a private of South Salt Lake Utah and the northern one of the city of Waterloo. The applicant intends to install a 16 by 32-foot building in the northwest corner of the Lotto. However, it should be noted that the Iowa Department of Transport requires an area of service with a folding balcony in addition to the office space, which makes the dimensions even smaller. The site may require a water and meteorite maintenance plan and there are concerns about the fact that the property does not have enough space for such maintenance in addition to the necessary pavement for the building. I will let you know that I have sent you an email and you have received a copy of the petition sent by the neighbors who oppose this request. Can I go out? Therefore, the staff recommends that the request for modification of the lotization plan to change the zoning conditions and allow parking for cars in the C2Z district be rejected for federal reasons. Their request seems to have a negative impact on the neighborhood surrounded by family homes. The request would not be in accordance with the map of soil use destinations and the regulatory plan. The original zoning conditions clearly established that any other commercial activity, in addition to the original gardening deed, was allowed in the site.

Thank you.

There are questions from the commissioners for the staff. All right. Thank you. Is there anyone in the classroom to advise who would like to talk about this point at the order of the day? I think the request is here.

Please indicate your name and address for the verbal point.

Dan Weidman, 632 Conger Street. I've been living in that property for 56 years. And that land we're talking about has been empty for about 25 years. There was a house there. It was a family of four people, the Zoles. Today it was a busy road and this would only add more traffic. I sit on the porch every now and then and watch the cars go by at 80 km per hour. I have grandchildren and great-grandchildren who come to see me. My wife goes for a walk and goes by bicycle. That area is already quite crowded without a parking lot for cars. And that lot is too small. They should build us some houses. Habitat for Humanity should come here and pull on a couple of cases. It's a pretty quiet neighborhood, without that traffic. I mean, the fireworks stadium, things like that, but... It's normal to have a nice neighborhood, a quiet one, pretty quiet. And we have a lot of kids in the neighborhood who go on bikes in front of my house to go to this quick car. This is in the right place. Mullen Avenue has an empty lot. It was a car park. Why don't you go there? We lost the CVS. We lost the grocery stores. We lost a lot in the north of the city. When will we have something useful for us, like supermarkets? I vote no.

Thank you. I'll also let you know that I see his name on this petition. Is there anyone else who would like to talk about this at this point in the order of the day?

Good evening. Gail Forest Doll lives at 556 Conger Street. Dick, did you really make a note?

Pula tu lavoro, Dick Dave. Grazie.

Sono lì da gennaio, inizio il mio 31° anno e la finestra della mia cucina è rivolta a ovest, quindi guarderei verso questo progetto di parcheggio auto che, sai, essendo donna, passo molto tempo in cucina. Beh, lui ha parlato di quanto Conger sia trafficata. Anche Fairview lo è. We have the Mid-America, we have the ramps for the boats, the parks, the baseball field. I remember having brought my grandchildren, I have three of them, and their first fishing trip was to the lagoon, which every year, well, almost every year, was flooded and then filled with fish. Ma sto cercando di sottolineare il punto che è un quartiere e che è per i residenti. C'è un magazzino dall'altra parte della strada che rimane trafficato quasi ogni giorno, ma un congere è così trafficata che quando il sole tramonta a ovest non si vede nulla. I know, I go out and I do this. I'm short, so the umbrella doesn't do its job.

But... Fairview.

It absorbs a lot of traffic from the Mid-America, the trucks and the workers that go and come from John Deere. If you think of Broadway and Conjure, at that intersection there, there's the Quickstar. It's a very trafficked intersection. And there are... traffic lights there is a four-way stop for the time you pass there well people take fairview upper and lower around that corner to make a noise there and avoid traffic lights and traffic I have seen many accidents some even of a strip to my car if I park in front i miei ospiti non parcheggiano davanti a lungo perché non si vede nulla a causa degli altri vicini che parcheggiano davanti alle case e quindi è per questo che succedono molti incidenti lì e quasi incidenti si sentono le auto suonare il clacson come se qualcuno fosse uscito si fosse messo Let's go. The bus stop is my home. Many times they can't stop right there because of the traffic behind them. So they end up on the other side of the block, on the 600th floor. I'm on the 500th floor. I see families walking towards the park. I went to walk in the cemetery. It's nice to look outside and see the peace of that place. And the children take the bus. it's on real street but they go down long fairview to reach real from conger you know they built the skate park while the guys are skateboarders on the other side of conger The families go on bikes, they take the dogs for a walk. In short, I saw two little girls this year for the first time, coming back from the river where they had gone fishing, telling me what they had caught. So it's a busy place. And then we have the baseball field there. In winter I took the grandchildren to slide on the edge, near Mid-America. I asked myself, would an expansion be allowed in the future? And what would it do? I think I heard that something will be done for Mille Fluss. Are they new cars used or both? Will they end up repairing cars there?

I can answer some questions here the conditional zoning provides that it is exactly for what proposed and anything else outside of this it should probably go back to the valley and the references to the deflation concern the rainwater and that simply means that since they talk about creating a parking lot for cars there you look at a large piece of land that first absorbed the rainwater right? Well, now we need to understand where to conflate that rainwater in the ground instead of letting it accumulate by watering the houses, right?

So, if there is a parking lot for used cars, there are losses, maybe transmission liquids, car liquids.

Yes.

I was wondering what kind of service there would be. I would like the activities to remain more on franklin and broadway rather than getting closer to where I live I often use fairview to get from the center and I noticed that going down north on fairview there is a warehouse and they work on the cars right in there and I thought oh my god what will happen later And then, passing by there on different days, there was a small ambulant kiosk. I'm not sure what it was. It wasn't exactly a van, but sometimes it's there to sell food. And then we have people who come to visit, play music. You know, as I said, I would like to keep it a residential area. Thank you.

Anyone else would like to intervene at this point in the day? Is there anyone on Zoom who would like to intervene at this point in the day?

I would like to vote for the closing of the public hearing.

Is there anyone who would like to intervene? Is there anyone who would like to intervene? Come on, I thought I kept calling her.

Yes, Salivasovic 251 Valle Road. I'm only here in case someone has any questions. I know there are some concerns. Would it be just a small, small car show? I think it could help the community a little. I watch it every week. I tend to go to my neighborhood app. I look at the intervention requests. I notice every week that there is a call or something for suspicious activities in the area. I feel that it would help to make it safer, if nothing else. I mean, rather than leaving it like an empty lot, it would be a small car showroom, easy to maintain, easy to maintain. The work will be done elsewhere, as in other places, any repair work, things like that and things like that. I know you mentioned something about oil, liquid waste, things like that that would all be managed. I would keep it in order to be able to maintain control practically on all cars it would be as I said only a small car show I know this gentleman mentioned something about a grocery store something like that there or keep it residential which I understand perfectly I think a car show is essential as much as the cost people must also have used cars people must have used cars I mean transportation is a necessity for anyone Yes, they have to eat 100%. I'm not saying no. It's just something I proposed, if possible. As I said, I feel it's better than how it is reduced now. If only it would be safer. Are there any questions for the applicant?

All right, thank you. I see a raised hand back there.

Come talk.

Sherry Stanford, 1929 East Forest Street.

As I said, I've lived there for 19 years.

I took notes. No supermarket, no CVS. I have to go and find rabbits. So much so that I go to Walmart to do the shopping. There is no more Dollar Tree, Dollar General, Dollar Tree. Everything is closed in the East Side. But you want to build a car show. While you can't go and buy food. What are we doing? I don't understand. We don't have a supermarket. Nothing, really nothing. They've just taken everything away. What I'm saying is because we're not talking about putting HW back in place, updating it with the CVS. We have to go so far to find something to eat. As he says, the dealership is fine. I don't think it's fine anymore. I think we need a place to do the shopping. There is no place to do the shopping anywhere. No problem.

It's not a nice area. Not at all.

And then you want to build a house here near mine with that fence that leads straight to those apartments I don't want traffic in the back of my house. It's not that I don't want it to happen. It's like when they built those on East 4th Street. I hear the sirens. The police were in those apartments 24 hours on 24, 7 days.

I think we're getting out of the order of the day.

Excuse me.

I don't think I'll be able to get out. I've been living there for 19 years and I don't understand how everything has been destroyed and I don't want them to build houses there. Okay, fine. I have nothing to do with the demolishers. I don't want weapons. They threw guns in my garden. I don't want this. If these apartments will be regular, if these houses will be regular, let them be, because I have no problem calling the police if there's a crime. Because I don't like crime. I don't commit crime.

But at this moment, the order of the day is only about giving permission to someone to use their money to start an office. That's all. And we don't wait to decide what that person does with his money. We just have to make sure that he returns to the guidelines and that he adapts to the community.

Thank you. I will accept a motion to close the public hearing after this lady.

Salve, Gary Forrestal. Again. In those 31 years my garage was robbed twice and Tim, where he lived there on neither occasion, but there was a family in that house before it was demolished. they lived right in front of the garage and my house has been unpacked once and I fear that people will stop at the dealership check my house and see that I am an old woman and I live alone so I no longer feel safe with a dealership there thanks come on

for a couple of things, to answer your concern. Saliva, always about 201 Valle Road, to answer your concerns, there would be a security system, something like that, in operation. I mean, all this would be active, cameras, security system, the complete package. Another concern, I know you mentioned traffic and similar things. I don't know if you have ever deepened the fact that 70-80% of people spend a large part of their shopping experience online, looking online and all the rest, before even arriving at the dealership.

would take appointments.

I don't think traffic would increase so much.

I just wanted to add this.

Thank you. Last chance. Anyone else on this point in the order of the day? All right. I now accept a motion to close the public hearing.

Thank you.

I have a motion, one second. Anyone in favor of closing the public hearing signals it by saying yes. Someone is against. The motion is approved. I accept a motion on the point at the order of the day.

I would like to present a motion so that the request of Salibzovic for a change to the regulatory plan to change the zoning conditions and allow a car parking in the C2CZ air-conditioned zoning district to be repealed.

Second.

There is a motion and a second. Is there any discussion?

I have here the list of houses in the range of 250 feet. MT3. Names. Five of these are companies. Ten of the other names are present in this list of the opposite petition. And one of them is the demand. I can't, I could never in full consciousness go against such a crushing group of people who say that maybe this is not suitable for our neighborhood. There is some other discussion. Who is in favor of pushing the point to the order of the day, the signal saying yes. We have a couple of new things here.

We have a presentation now. At this point I leave the word

to the people present in the Council's chambers to talk about out-of-agenda points. Is there anyone who wants to talk about out-of-agenda points? Let's go.

Hello everyone. Jake Roth, 1229 Edge and Avenue, apartment 7, Waterloo. I'm here tonight to ask the urban commission again to resend the option of the data center to Chalice Road when it will arrive in committee.

The community has united with its own petition. Thousands of people show their support against the opening of a data center in Waterloo. In addition, my group, me and some others, have sent documents that you have received in the last few weeks, asking various questions about what the city will do regarding some issues that concern the data center. In addition, the urban planning commission asks to examine the decision-making tool

for the Iowa Data Center of the Rubin School of Environmental Law and the Teepee School of Business published by the University of Iowa last month or I think we are now in September, so two months ago, about a week before the last meeting of the Commission. These are very in-depth questions. I would like to see a greater individual contribution from the members of the urban commission to know what those questions mean to them and how they could respond. So thank you again. Please remember that you work on behalf of the inhabitants of Waterloo and I love to see you collaborate, especially through petitions on tonight's events and to undertake new actions or make Waterloo progress. Thank you very much for your work and I look forward to your response. Thank you.

A friendly commemoration. The more you correctly quote your sources when you make statements, the more we will take them into consideration. So saying that there is a university instrument will probably have a certain weight. Thank you. There are other topics not in the order of the day that someone in the classroom would like to discuss.

Claudia Robinson, 260 Oliver Street. I have just been reported and I apologize because I worked all day. I'm tired. The map you showed is not the one that was sent to the neighborhood. How can we get a copy?

I have half an answer. On the website of the city of Waterloo. The whole package we have. It is downloadable and you will see exactly the same information that we have, but you have to navigate a bit. There are sections such as verbal departments of meetings, meeting packages and everything else. It takes a moment, but it is definitely present.

Those old citizens in my neighborhood who own their own house that ... They don't know how to do it. They don't have access to this.

You can also pass from our office to the second floor of the municipality.

Can I receive copies to give to the neighborhood? You can pass from our office for the correspondence you should have sent. Can I receive the number of corresponding copies to the houses you have sent the correspondence to? I will do the dirty work, but if you give me the copies?

I will verify the thing. In the worst case, you will receive one or two copies, maybe you will have to make some, but our staff is really fantastic in disseminating information. We want to make sure that the questions are answered. Being the commissioners, we have a lot of questions for these guys and they always help us. So we have a new commissioner here. Could you please introduce yourself briefly? My name is Darlington T. Debas. I am the former president of B5 International and now I am the CEO and I am the former President of the African Community, also of the Liberian Community and I am also the new Commissioner for Human Rights of Waterloo and I have just been included in the urban planning of Waterloo and I work at the East Side School. I work with the Waterloo School District as

All right, thank you.

Welcome aboard and we can't wait to have your point of view on the issues we face and that concern our community. All right. We have another point here. With the vacancy of the vice president, which happened with the last meeting of Erich last month, we must elect a new vice president.

So I will accept a motion

or I will accept the candidacies for a vice president and I will not look. No one in particular. I will also note that the last time a vice president had to do it was probably. Brandon said he could do it.

So you need a candidacy. Candidate Brandon.

That candidacy. Are there other candidates? First time. Other applications? Second time.

Just to close everything here.

I said that Brandon has just closed the day. I always ask three times. You never want to leave anything to chance. Anyway, third and last time? Yes. Do you accept the application?

Congratulations. Are they doing all this or?

Who is in favor? Who is in favor? What are the exact words?

The election of Mr. Schellberg to vice president.

Who is in favor of the acceptance of the election of Brandon Schellberg to vice president of the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission, you manifest it by saying yes.

Some opposed.

It is approved. Thank you. Now I accept a motion to close the session.

I propose to close the session. Second, Jolbert. You agree?

Yes, yes. Yes, no one is against it. Thank you all for your patience.
