MR ERIC PHILLIPS. WELCOME BACK AGAIN. THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT. COUNCIL MEMBERS. JUST A FEW ITEMS, TERRY KINDA DON'T HAVE MUCH REPORTING ON TERRY TALKED ABOUT ALL THE JAPAN STUFF GOING ON THIS NEXT MONTH, WHICH IS GREAT, BUT I WILL SAY A BIG THANK YOU TO MARYSVILLE SCHOOLS BECAUSE THEY'RE BIG SUPPORTER OF THE STUDENTS CHANGE, AND THEY'RE HELPING OUT FOR THIS ENTIRE NEXT WEEK. WE ALSO HAVE, UM 10 HOST FAMILIES AND WE GOT TO GIVE A THANK YOU TO THEM FOR HOSTING THESE CHILDREN DURING THE EIGHT DAYS THAT THEY'RE HERE AND THEN THE GRASSROOTS. WE HAVE SEVEN.

WE HAVE SEVEN HOST FAMILIES HOLD HOSTING ADULT JAPANESE. SO WE HAVE 17 FAMILIES THEY'RE TAKING ON RESPONSIBILITIES DURING A LONG PERIOD OF TIME AND AGAIN AGAIN. IT UNDERSTOOD UNDERLINES . I THINK THE IMPORTANCE OF THE JAPANESE CULTURE AND WHAT IT MEANS TO US HERE IN MARYSVILLE BEING IN THE HOME OF HONDA AND 23 JAPANESE COMPANIES WHO WERE BLESSED AS WELL. UM AND UBER UPDATE THAT WE HAD A MEETING HERE LAST WEEK, AND JUST TO LET YOU KNOW WE HAVE ANOTHER MEETING FOLLOWING DAY. WE'VE HAD SOME GOOD MOMENTUM WE'VE ACTUALLY IN THE PROCESS OF CREATING A WEBSITE, WHICH WE'RE GOING TO PROMOTE TO THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY TO SUPPORT THIS EFFORT, SO I'LL KEEP YOU UP POSTED AS THAT CONTINUES TO DEVELOP AND THEN NEXT, BUT NOT LEAST WE DO HAVE A REALLY, REALLY NEAT SPEAKERS.

WE WILL HAVE TRIED HOFFMAN, RICHWOOD BANK PRESIDENT BRUCE DANIELS OF HONDA, MARYSVILLE AND LEON'S AND ALSO BEST SANDERS FROM LIFE BIO TO TALK ABOUT GROWTH PROSPERITY. WHAT IT MEANS TO THEM IS BEING IN THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY WHY GROWTH IS IMPORTANT TO OUR FUTURE PROSPERITY BUT WOULD BE A GREAT PANEL DISCUSSION. INVITE

[00:15:01]

WITH THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS THE NUMBER OF VISITS AND WHAT IT ACTUALLY MEANS FOR US TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH A WITH A COUNTRY THAT WE ARE ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN AND WHAT IT MEANS TO OUR COMMUNITY. YES SO THERE'S THREE ITINERARIES OUT THERE FLOATING AROUND. UM WE HAVE AN ITINERARY FOR THIS NEXT WEEK WITH A STUDENT EXCHANGE 10 STUDENTS AND THREE CHAPERONES.

PLUS AN INTERPRETER, SO WE'LL HAVE BASICALLY 14 PEOPLE WITH US FOR EIGHT DAYS, AND THOSE EIGHT DAYS INCLUDE US PICKING HIM UP AT THE AIRPORT ON FRIDAY TO TAKE IT BACK FOR PIZZA FRIDAY NIGHT TO HONDA WELCOME CENTER. SO HONDA'S BEEN GRACIOUS. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A WELCOME CEREMONY FOR THE STUDENTS IN THE CHAPERONES, WHERE THEY'LL INTRODUCE THEMSELVES. VERY SHY WITH ENGLISH, BUT WHEN THEY FINISH, WE HAVE A FAREWELL CEREMONY. YOU WOULD BE AMAZED WITH THESE STUDENTS, THESE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS HOW THEY PICK UP ENGLISH SO QUICKLY AND YOU'LL BE AMAZED BY THE TIME YOU HEAR HIM THE FIRST DAY COMPARED TO THE EIGHT DAYS LATER, WHEN WE HAVE THEIR WELCOME, SIR OR THE FAREWELL CEREMONY, SO DURING THAT WEEK, WE THEY WILL EXPERIENCE JAPANESE CLASS A BUNCH OF CLASSES AT THE SCHOOLS. THEY'LL ALSO GO TO COZY. THEY'LL ALSO GO TO THE ZOO AS PART OF THAT THERE'S A CITY DAY SO THEY'LL COME AND PRESENT TERRY WILL BE PRESENTING AS WELL AS LUKE AND SAVANNA ABOUT THE MARYSVILLE AND WHAT IT MEANS WHAT IT IS. WE WILL THEN TO OUR WALKING TOUR OF UPTOWN MARYSVILLE, WHICH INCLUDES TELL ME IF I'M TOO DETAILED AND WE'RE GOING TO. WE'RE GOING TO GO TO THE COURTHOUSE. WE'RE GOING TO GO TO COUNTY COMMISSIONER MEETING. AS WELL AS CITY COUNCIL DOESN'T MEET NEXT WEEK SO WE CAN'T. THEY'RE ALWAYS COMING THE THIRD WEEK OF AUGUST, AND THAT'S THE WEEK YOU DON'T MEET. SO THAT'S WHY THEY DO NOT COME TO A COUNCIL MEETING BUT A LOT OF FUN ACTIVITIES. I THINK THERE'S A THERE'S A POOL PARTY AT THE SWIMMING POOL ONE DAY AS WELL. SO WE'RE GOING TO REALLY GIVE HIM A REALLY TASTE OF MARYSVILLE, AND WE'RE GOING TO FEED THEM PIZZA A LOT, BECAUSE JAPANESE REALLY LOVE OUR PIZZA HERE AND SO WE'RE GOING TO TAKE HIM TO BENNY'S AND DO DIFFERENT THINGS WITH HIM. SO IT'S A GREAT RELATIONSHIP AND AGAIN. I THINK WHAT YOU'RE TOUCHED ABOUT WITH THE STUDENT EXCHANGES THE AMOUNT OF, UM ENGLISH THEY PICK UP WHEN THEY'RE HERE, BUT ALSO THE CLOSENESS BETWEEN THE TWO THAT THE HOST FAMILY AND IN THIS THIS CHILD IS PRETTY AMAZING TO SEE THAT HAPPEN. SO THAT'S REALLY THE EVENT FROM A STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAM AND THEN OUR JAPANESE MISSION. WE HAVE SIX COMPANY VISITS. THIS ITINERARY IS FOUR PAGES LONG 11 BY 17.

THAT'S OUR ITINERARY FOR 10 DAYS IN JAPAN BUT INCLUDES SIX COMPANY VISITS. HONDA OF COURSE, IS ON THAT LIST MANY OTHERS IN THE COMMUNITY AND THEN WE'LL ATTEND THE MIDWEST JAPAN CONFERENCE, TERRY ALLUDED. THIS WHICH INCLUDES GOVERNORS FROM THE MIDWEST, OUR GOVERNOR WILL NOT BE GOING THIS YEAR DID GO BACK IN 19 AND A LOT OF GOVERNORS OF THE PREFECTURES IN JAPAN, PLUS OTHER GOVERNORS FROM THE MIDWEST. SO WE'LL HEAR A LOT OF SPEECHES WERE A LOT OF JAPANESE COMPANIES THERE. A LOT OF THAT IS REALLY A NEAT EXPERIENCE. BUT THEN WE ALSO GO TO YOUR E AND CELEBRATE THE 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY WITH THE NEW MAYOR WHO HAVE NOT. WE'VE MET BEFORE HE'S BEEN INTO MARYSVILLE, BUT WE HAVEN'T NOT MET HIM IN HIS NEW ROLE AS MAYOR, AND DURING THAT TRIP, WE'RE GOING TO VISIT MUSEUMS, SCHOOLS DO A LOT OF DIFFERENT EXCHANGES. WE HAVE J GOING, OUR FIRE CHIEF. THERE'S GOING TO BE A FIRE EXCHANGE. WE ALSO HAVE OUR LIBRARIAN. NISA KNOWS FOR A LIBRARY EXCHANGE AGAIN. THERE'S A DISPLAY AT THE MAYORS OF LIBRARY. THERE'S A DISPLAY YOU RE LIBRARY CELEBRATING OUR FRIENDSHIP RELATIONSHIP AND WHY THERE ARE CULTURES ARE IMPORTANT EACH OTHER SO THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT AS WELL. AND BUT THAT'S REALLY THAT TRIP AND AGAIN, IT'S 10 DAYS, AND IT'S DAYLIGHT TILL DARK, SO IT'S A PRETTY FULL FOR SCHEDULE. AND THEN THE LAST ONE IS A GRASSROOTS. COLUMBUS HAS NEVER HOSTED. THE GRASSROOTS IS OUR FIRST TIME AND WE HAVE SEVEN HOST FAMILIES. I THINK THERE'S 100 ADULT JAPANESE WILL BE IN THE REGION SO MANY COMMUNITIES AROUND CENTRAL HIGHER HOSTING FAMILIES ARE HOSTING JAPANESE, AND THAT'S JUST BASICALLY TO SHOW THE CLOSE KNIT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN OUR PEOPLE LIVE IN COLUMBUS REGION AND PEOPLE FROM JAPAN. SO THAT'S KIND OF THAT.

WE'VE NEVER HOSTED NEXT YEAR. THE MIDWEST US DEPENDING CONFERENCE COMES BACK TO OHIO FIRST TIME IN 20 PLUS YEARS. THAT WILL BE HOSTED IN COLUMBUS , SO WE'LL HAVE A CHANCE TO SHOWCASE THE GREAT THINGS THAT WE DO HERE IN THE COLUMBUS REGION TO CELEBRATE OUR

[00:20:01]

SORRY THE ONLY THING THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO REITERATE JUST A SECOND AND I DON'T WANT TO BELIEVE THAT THERE'S TOO MUCH BUT THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT WE NOW HAVE THAT LEARNING IN THE JAPANESE LANGUAGE. I THINK WE HAVE ONE OF THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF STUDENTS IN THE STATE OF OHIO. THAT I AM LEARNING ALREADY AT MIDDLE SCHOOL ALL THE WAY THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL, AND I THINK THAT'S THAT SAYS SOMETHING FOR THE RELATIONSHIP THAT WE DO HAVE WITH JAPAN, AND WE AVERAGED BETWEEN 203 100 STUDENTS IN THAT PROGRAM ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, AND I'VE TAKEN BEGINNER JAPANESE TWICE. AND I'M YOU CAN'T TEACH AN OLD DOG NEW TRICKS. I'VE LEARNED THAT IT'S MUCH EASIER WHEN YOU'RE A STUDENT IN SCHOOL TO LEARN THINGS THAT NO QUESTION ABOUT IT. I DID FEEL THAT TWICE SO OKAY. ALREADY ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? SORRY TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT, BUT I THINK THAT IT'S AN IMPORTANT ENOUGH, UM, EVENT FOR OUR CITY TO SPEND SOME TIME ON IT. SO OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK

[PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION REPORT]

THANK YOU. MR PRESIDENT. PROBABLY IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE SHORT TODAY. SO THE JULY LET'S SEE. THE JULY 18TH PARKS AND RECOGNITION MEETING WAS CANCELED DUE TO LACK OF AGENDA ITEMS.

[Res. A]

[Ord. A]

THIS IS REALLY, UH, AWESOME TONIGHT THAT YOU KNOW, WE TALKED ABOUT FORMING THE JOINT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT A WHILE BACK, AND WE'RE FINALLY GETTING PROPERTIES BEFORE YOU THAT WILL BE A PART OF THAT JET DISTRICT, WHICH BASICALLY THOSE ARE BUSINESSES THAT WOULD BE LOCATED WITHIN THE JED THAT WOULD THEN PAY A 1.5% INCOME TAX. AS A PART OF THEIR BUSINESS THAT WOULD BE SHARED MUTUALLY BETWEEN JEROME TOWNSHIP AND THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE, AND MUCH OF THOSE FUNDS WOULD GO DIRECTLY INTO INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS IN IN THE JET AREA, SO WE HAVE A

[00:30:08]

[Ord. B]

[00:35:07]

AND IF YOU COULD PLEASE STATE, YOUR NAME AND OTHERS. HELLO MY NAME IS DEBORAH KELLY. I LIVE AT 1456 BUCK MEYER DRIVE. I'M AT THE DEAD END AND THE DEVELOPMENT WILL BE RIGHT IN MY SIDE YARD.

UM MY HOUSE WILL BE DIRECTLY IMPACTED WITH THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT. ACCORDING TO THE PLAN, I WILL BE LOOKING DIRECTLY INTO THE BACK OF TWO HOUSES. MY HOUSE. IT IS TOO. WEST THERE IS WILL BE NORTH TO SOUTH. UM I'VE TAKEN UPON MYSELF THIS YEAR TO MAINTAIN THE EASEMENT BETWEEN MY PROPERTY AND THE FIELD THAT THEY'RE ALL CIDER FARMS AND I'VE TRIED TO KEEP THAT NICE. SO MY CONCERN IS ONE OF JR BROUGHT UP THE LAST MEETING WITH THESE FENCED IN YARDS AND A THIRD PARTY COMING IN AND CLEANING THEM UP. ARE PEOPLE GOING TO CLEAN UP THEIR DOG WASTE BEFORE THESE FOLKS COME IN THE MOOD, YOU KNOW, I KIND OF HAVE THAT CONCERN. I ALSO HAVE A CONCERN WITH THIS SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR THE TENETS OF THE DEVELOPMENT. WHAT IF THEY CAN'T FIND ENOUGH RENTERS THAT CAN AFFORD THAT? AND THEN THEY HAVE TO LOWER THE RENT AND LOWER THE REQUIREMENTS. WHAT'S THAT NEIGHBORHOOD GOING TO BECOME? LISTENING TO THE PROPOSED DEVELOPER. IT SOUNDS SO MUCH LIKE CHESTNUT FRONT AS FAR AS LOT SIZING IF YOU HAVEN'T DRIVEN THROUGH THAT NEIGHBORHOOD, I SUGGEST YOU TAKE A LOOK. IT'S SO COMPACT, AND I KNOW THE POLICE HAVE ALREADY BEEN CALLED BECAUSE A PARKING ISSUES. UM THERE ARE SEVEN DEVELOPMENT STARTED PLANNED IN THE FINAL STAGES. CURRENTLY NOT LONG AGO, THE TRIBUNE NOTED THE SHORTAGE OF INSPECTORS. HOW CAN WE CONTINUE ADDING MORE HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS? THIS CAN CAUSE QUICKER INSPECTIONS WERE SOME ISSUES CAN BE OVERLOOKED. AND I KNOW BECAUSE MY HOUSE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES. THERE'S ALSO SO MUCH TALK ABOUT GREEN SPACE YET YOU TAKE AWAY SO MUCH OF SURROUNDING MARRIAGE OR WITH NEW DEVELOPMENTS. THEN YOU TURN AROUND AND REQUIRE NEW BUSINESSES OR CURRENT BUSINESSES THAT WANT TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS AT GREEN SPACES TO THEIR PARKING LOTS, WHICH TAKE AWAY FROM THEIR CUSTOMERS. TRAFFIC IN TOWN IS HORRENDOUS AS IT IS, YOU CERTAINLY CAN'T MAKE A LEFT TURN WITHOUT SITTING THERE 23 TIMES I HAD READ TO THAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT EXPANDING THE AIRPORT. MAYBE SPANNING OVER. WE THE ROAD. THAT'S JUST GOING TO BE MORE CONGESTION ON THAT ROAD. I ASKED ANY COUNCIL JUST STOPPING THAT THE DUST SETTLED BEFORE BRINGING HIM MORE DEVELOPMENTS. I THINK IF YOU WERE TO TAKE A SURVEY TODAY, THIS CITIZENS OF MARRIAGE, I WOULD SAY PLEASE STOP. THANK YOU . THANK YOU, DEBBIE. MHM. B BEFORE WE CONTINUE ON, UM IF AN EIGHT THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN BROUGHT UP AND YOU HAVE THE SAME TOPIC OR THE SAME DISCUSSION DONE, SKIPPERED? YES SO PLEASE GO AHEAD. DO YOU WANT TO ADMINISTER THE OATH OF AUTHENTICITY? WE DON'T GO. WE DON'T GO QUITE THAT FAR. REALLY I'M SORRY, MAN. COUNCIL MEMBERS AND FELLOW CITIZENS. SUPPOSE THIS ZONING ISSUE PASSES, MAYBE MAYBE HAVE YOUR NAME AND OTHERS, PLEASE. YES. J C NOTE. STEIN 14 TO 50 WEAVER ROAD. OKAY, THANK YOU APPRECIATE THIS. PARDON? LET'S SUPPOSE THIS ISSUE PASSES . LET'S LOOK AHEAD ABOUT THREE YEARS AND SEE WHAT WE HAVE COMING OUT OF TOWN FROM CHESTNUT . FIRST YOU GO BY RYAN HOMES, YOU KNOW THIS IS THE AREA THAT ON THE AVERAGE HAS 1.5 CARS PER DRIVEWAY, A GAS GRILL THE TRASH

[00:40:02]

I SEE THIS PROJECT AS GODZILLA. OKAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING. OKAY GOOD EVENING. NAME IS DALE SCHEIDER. I LIVE AT 140 TO 1 STATE ROUTE. 7 36. MARYSVILLE UM OUR FAMILY HAS OWNED AND FARMED THIS PROPERTY SINCE 1959 PRIOR TO GIFTING IT TO THE LUTHERAN CHURCH, MISSOURI SYNOD FOUNDATION. I HAVE LIVED IN MARYSVILLE ALL OF MY LIFE AND TWO OF MY THREE CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES STILL LIVE HERE. WHEN ADINA POINT AND WEAVER RIDGE WERE DEVELOPED AND STUB STREETS FROM BUCK MEYER DRIVE AND WEAVER RIDGE DRIVE. WENT INTO OUR FIELD. IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT THE INTENT WAS FOR OUR PROPERTY TO BE NEXT. AND COMMON SENSE WOULD SAY SO, GIVEN THE FACT THAT OUR LAND HAS BEEN ANNEX SINCE 1998 AND WAS THE LAST REMAINING UNDEVELOPED PIECE OF THE PUZZLE WITHIN THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE CITY LIMITS. IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF TIME. WHAT MANY DO NOT KNOW IS THAT OUR GIFT TO THE FOUNDATION, WHICH WAS SET UP OVER 10 YEARS AGO? WAS INTENDED TO BE TRANSFERRED AFTER THE DEATH OF MY WIFE AND MYSELF, BUT THE RECENT GROWTH OF THE MARYSVILLE COMMUNITY TRIGGERED TWO SIGNIFICANT EVENTS. ONE BEING THE RAPIDLY ESCALATING PRICE OF LAND. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE NEED FOR SAINT JOHN'S LUTHERAN SCHOOL TO UPDATE AND EXPAND ITS FACILITIES. IT WAS SO APPARENT THAT GOD HAD GIVEN US THIS BLESSING FOR A MUCH LARGER PURPOSE AND WAS CHALLENGING US TO MAKE A DECISION ON THE STEWARDSHIP OF THIS BLESSING. IT WAS AT THAT TIME, WE FELT THAT THE ETERNAL BENEFITS OF EXTENDING THE OPPORTUNITY OF A CHRISTIAN EDUCATION TO THE CHILDREN OF THIS COMMUNITY FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. FAR EXCEEDED AND HE SELFISH IDEA OF PADDING OUR ASSETS. SO TWO YEARS AGO, WE EAGERLY OFFERED THE GIFT TO THE FOUNDATION. ST JOHN'S LUTHERAN SCHOOL IS NOT IN THE CITY OF LIMITS OF MARYSVILLE, BUT IT HAS BEEN A POSITIVE PART OF THE MARYSVILLE CULTURE AND OUR FAITH

[00:45:06]

EFFECTS ON TRAFFIC FURTHER CLOUDS THE STUDY'S VALIDITY. THE STUDY ALSO DOES NOT REFLECT THE ADDITIONAL HOMES THAT HAVE BEEN BUILT RECENTLY IN EDINA POINT AND CHESTNUT CROSSING. HOW MANY MORE HOMES WITH TWO PLUS VEHICLES HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE TRAFFIC PATTERN ON WEAVER ROAD JUST IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS? THE INCOMPLETE DATA HAMPERS OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE TRUE IMPACT THAT THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT COULD HAVE ONLY ALREADY CONGESTED WEAVER ROAD. WE DO NOT KNOW IF PROFESSIONAL PARKWAY WILL EASE TRAFFIC ISSUES FROM CHESTNUT AND FISH STREET OR WHETHER IT'S GOING TO ADD MORE TRAFFIC TO WEAVER ROAD. YOU DON'T KNOW THAT. I MEAN, AIN'T BEEN COMPLETED LONG ENOUGH. MANY NEIGHBORS HAVE REACHED OUT AND SPOKEN WITH JEFF STARCH COUNTY ENGINEER AND HE'S BEEN GREAT. HE'S ANSWERED MANY OF OUR QUESTIONS. THE COUNTY HAS ASKED FOR A TRAFFIC STUDY TO BE DONE AT THE CORNER OF WEAVER ROAD AND SCOTTS LAWN. AS OF 5 P.M. FRIDAY

[00:50:03]

IT HAS NOT BEEN GIVEN THE GREEN LIGHT. WE WERE ROAD IS NOT READY FOR THIS PROJECT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. PLEASE GO AHEAD. I AM WITH TABOR. I LIVE AT 15 37 ASHLEIGH COURT IN EDINA POINT, MY HOME WOULD BACK UP TO ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE LOTS IN THIS NEW PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT THAT'S BEING PROPOSED. SO FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU ALL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE OUR CONCERNS. IT'S VERY, VERY MEANINGFUL TO ME. THREE THINGS THAT I'D LIKE TO GET ACROSS VERY QUICKLY. TONIGHT ONE IS ABOUT DENSITY. UM WHAT I FIND IS THAT THE PROPOSAL IS OUT OF PLACE WITH OUR COMMUNITY. IT'S NOT WHAT YOU WOULD SEE IN A NICE, BEAUTIFUL SETTING LIKE OURS.

IT'S MORE WHAT YOU WOULD SEE IN A VERY CONGESTED URBAN SETTING. IT'S MY WIFE REMINDED ME A CITY WITH TWO RURAL KINGS DOES NOT NEED HOMES, 10 FT APART. IT'S NOT IN KEEPING WITH OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, EITHER, WHICH, AS I'VE READ THROUGH IT A SECOND TIME THIS WEEK REALLY EMPHASIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITY AND MAINTAINING THE CHARACTER OF OUR COMMUNITY. THIS PROPOSAL DOES NOT DO THAT. IT'S NOT ONLY AESTHETICALLY UNPLEASED SING, AND THAT'S A REAL THING.

THE AESTHETICS TO THIS NO MATTER HOW WELL MAINTAINED THE HOMES WOULD BE 10 FT. APART IS JUST WAY TOO CONGESTED FOR OUR AREA, BUT AS AS YOU'VE HEARD TONIGHT, THE BIGGEST CONCERN IS ABOUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE. YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT TRAFFIC. A TARGETED TRAFFIC PLAN MAY LOOK GOOD ON PAPER, BUT ANY OF US WHO TRAVEL RIVER ROAD CHESTNUT WELL, KNOW HOW CONGESTED AND HOW ALREADY TAXED IT IS, AND THAT'S ATTESTED TO BY THE FACT THAT WE'VE HAD TWO RECENT SERIOUS ACCIDENTS ON CHESTNUT. ONE WAS ON JUNE 23RD AND THE OTHER ON JUNE 15TH. YOU CAN LOOK AT THOSE POLICE REPORTS AND SEE THE SERIOUSNESS OF THOSE ACCIDENTS AS A HAS BEEN MENTIONED. MORE HOMES HAVE BEEN ADDED TO ADINA POINT SINCE THAT TRAFFIC STUDY WAS UNDERTAKEN AS WELL. YOU'LL HEAR ABOUT THE SCHOOLS YOU'LL HEAR FROM THE AIRPORT ABOUT THE IMPACT ON THOSE AND ABOUT DRAINAGE, 298 SLABS AND ALL OF THE CONNECTING ROADS ARE NOT GOING TO ABSORB THE WATER THAT'S CURRENTLY ABSORBED BY THE INTO THE GROUND. THE SECOND THING IS PERMANENCY. ONCE WE DO THIS, IT CANNOT BE UNDONE. IT WILL FOREVER CHANGED THE LANDSCAPE OF OUR BEAUTIFUL COMMUNITY AND THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. ONCE 290 FOUNDATIONS ARE LAID ITS JUST HARD TO REMOVE THAT IS QUOTED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 100 YEARS AFTER WE ARE GONE AND FORGOTTEN. THOSE WHO HAVE NEVER HEARD OF US WILL BE LIVING WITH THE RESULTS OF OUR ACTIONS. MARYSVILLE IS A VERY SMART AND RESOURCEFUL COMMUNITY. IF INDEED WE DO HAVE A HOUSING CRISIS. I AM SURE THAT WE HAVE THE RESOURCEFULNESS AND THE WHEREWITHAL TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION. THAT'S MORE IN KEEPING WITH OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. I DON'T THINK WE NEED AN OUTSIDE ENTITY TELLING US WHAT OUR PROBLEMS ARE. AND WHAT THAT SOLUTION IS. WE'VE GOT THAT WITHIN, UM WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY ITSELF. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING, THOUGH, IS UNITY. UM IT'S VERY ENCOURAGING TO SEE OUR COMMUNITY COME TOGETHER AND IT'S YES, YES. CANCER YES, YES. SO YOU AS WE HAVE COME TOGETHER, IT'S BEEN WONDERFUL TO MEET NEW NEIGHBORS AND GET TO KNOW PEOPLE, SOME OF WHOM HAVE BEEN HERE FOR GENERATIONS AND SOME LIKE ME JUST FOR THREE YEARS. I'VE NOT HEARD. ONE PERSON SAY

[00:55:05]

MHM OKAY. GOOD EVENING COUNCIL. MY NAME IS NICK. LEAVE AC. I LIVE AT 1339 MIDDLE VIEW. DR MARYSVILLE, OHIO. UM I'M PART OF THE WEAVER RIDGE H O A ASSOCIATION AND ONE OF THE ELECTED MEMBERS SO KIND OF SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF MOST OF OUR COMMUNITY. WE HAD A BLOCK PARTY A FEW WEEKS AGO, AND I'M GOING TO SUMMARIZE A FEW OF THE THINGS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT, UM, ONE OF THE THINGS I MOVED HERE PERSONALLY FROM FROM BUFFALO, NEW YORK THREE YEARS AGO, I CHOSE MARYSVILLE. I COULD'VE SHOWS ANYWHERE IN CENTRAL OHIO AND I CHOSE MARYSVILLE BECAUSE IT SEEMED TO BE LIKE THE NICER, NOT FULLY DEVELOPED. DUBLIN IS KIND OF HOW I VIEWED IT, AND THAT WAS A REALLY BIG SELLING POINT FOR ME IN MY EYES, AND I KIND OF SAW US AS AS AS THE GROWING INTO THAT AS COLUMBUS EXPANDS ITS A VERY DESIRABLE PLACE TO LIVE FOR THAT REASON, RIGHT? I CHOSE WEAVER RIDGE. I REALLY LIKED ITS LOCATION AND ALL THAT STUFF. UM ONE OF THE THINGS WAS TRAFFIC WASN'T TOO BAD IN THAT AREA. SINCE I HAVE MOVED HERE THREE YEARS AGO, IT HAS GOTTEN SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE. UM I KNOW IN THE LAST YEAR IF YOU GUYS LOOK SHEETS AND HUEY MAGOO'S HAVE BOTH SPENT BOTH BEEN ADDED AND ARE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS ARE NOT NEIGHBORHOODS IN OUR CITY AND IN THE CITY ONE. THOSE WERE BOTH ADDED TRAFFIC GOT HORRENDOUS AROUND THOSE AREAS. PROVED A FEW WEEKS IF NOT MONTHS, IF WE HAD ANOTHER 295 HOMES THAT'S ALSO GOING TO CAUSE ISSUES AS WELL. IT'S JUST GOING TO EXACERBATE THE CURRENT PROBLEM. UM I KNOW A LOT OF TIMES ON CHESTNUT OR WEAVER RIDGE. WHICHEVER PARTY TALKING ABOUT, UM, A LOT OF PEOPLE PARK ON THE STREET, AND THERE'S NOT A LOT OF ROOM FOR TWO CARS THAT PASSED SO A LOT OF TIMES CARS WILL STOP ABRUPTLY TO LET OTHER CARS ONCOMING TRAFFIC PASS BECAUSE THE ROADS NOT REALLY WIDE ENOUGH TO HAVE STREET PARKING THERE AS WELL. UM I KNOW THAT A TRAFFIC STUDY WAS DONE, BUT I DO THINK THAT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED WAS THE WEEKENDS.

MAINLY BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK AT A LOT OF PEOPLE, THEY WORK FROM HOME NOW, AND I THINK PEOPLE WHO WORK FROM HOME DON'T NECESSARILY TRAVEL DURING THE WEEK AS MUCH AS HISTORICALLY PEOPLE WOULD IN THE PAST. SO I THINK LEAVING OUT THE WEEKEND IS KIND OF A FAILED FLYING A SENSE, UM, SO I WOULD URGE A LONGER TRAFFIC STUDY. FOR THAT REASON. I KNOW JUST THAT ABOUT PERSONAL OPINION. I'M SURE A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE FEEL THE SAME WAY. THAT TRAFFIC ON CHESTNUT AND FIFTH IS HORRENDOUS, AND IT'S ONLY GETTING WORSE. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE USING PROFESSIONAL PARKWAY AND OTHER SIDE STREETS TO KIND OF A BAIT THAT AND GET AROUND IT. UM ANOTHER THING, UH, I WANTED TO BRING UP WAS OUR ELECTORAL GRID. I KNOW. A LOT OF OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT FLICKERING LIGHTS AND OTHER THINGS ABOUT NATURE. WE'VE HAD POWER OUTAGES A FEW TIMES, THANKFULLY, NOT VERY LONG. BUT 12 10 12 HOURS AT TIMES, SOMETIMES, WHICH IS KIND OF FRUSTRATING, BUT I DO FEEL LIKE IT IS. I DON'T KNOW THE OUR ELECTORAL GRID VERY WELL. BUT I DO SUSPECT THAT WE'RE KIND OF ON THE END OF IT. AND MAYBE THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD REALLY CONSIDER IF WE'RE GOING TO ADD 295 HOMES ON THE END OF IT. THINK OF LIKE AN EXTENSION CORD PLUGGED INTO EXTENSION CORD PLUGGED INTO AN EXTENSION CORD, RIGHT? UM AND THEN ANOTHER THING WHEN I DRIVE TO WORK IN THE MORNING, I NOTICED THERE ARE A LOT OF KIDS IN THE STREET LIKE AROUND THE STREETS. IT'S AROUND SCHOOL TIME. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'VE NOTICED SINCE I'VE MOVED HERE THREE YEARS AGO IS THAT THE AMOUNT OF CHILDREN THAT ARE JUST ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR WAITING FOR BUS STOPS HAS WENT FROM MAYBE 10 TO 20 KIDS TO PROBABLY 60 TO 80 KIDS, AND THAT'S JUST FROM THE ADDITION OF CHESTNUT. THAT'S JUST FROM THE ADDITION. UM KIND OF IN BETWEEN WEAVER RIDGED AND FIFTH STREET. SO IF YOU HAD 295 HOMES, I MEAN , THAT'S THAT'S EVEN MORE CHILDREN THAT YOU'RE YOU KNOW, YOU KIND OF NEED A PLACE TO HAVE THEM FOR BUS STOPS LIGHTING. I KNOW THE CHESTNUT AND WEAVER ISN'T REALLY DOESN'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF LIGHTING. I KNOW IN THE MORNINGS LIKE LIKE OUTSIDE HERE. WE HAVE A LIT UP CROSSWALK. I DON'T KNOW. A LOT OF THESE THINGS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED. UM I GUESS TO SUMMARIZE THESE POINTS IS I THINK OUR INFRASTRUCTURE JUST ISN'T THERE. TO BE FRANK. UM ANOTHER THING IS WATER ABATEMENT WAS MENTIONED BEFORE I WON'T BEAT A DEAD HORSE. BUT WHEN YOU DO POUR ALL THESE SLABS YOU DO

[01:00:03]

THIS THIS IS A VERY TOUCHY SUBJECT, A VERY SENSITIVE SUBJECT TO OUR COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE. AND I WOULD. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION AS YOU VOTE ON THIS. AND I STARTED URGED YOU TO VOTE. NO. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS MIKE DOVER. I LIVE AT 14471. WE'VE ARROWED THREE ACRES THAT ARE RIGHT ALONGSIDE THE PROPOSED CORPORATE DEVELOPMENT. AS I WAS SEARCHING FOR WORDS TO ARTICULATE THIS EVENING, I WAS TAKEN BACK TO COUNCILWOMAN GROWTHS FOR POSITIONS. SHE STAYED FOR VOTING AGAINST THE REZONING LAST YEAR ON JUNE 27TH 2022. 0.1 THE MODEL IN WHICH A LARGE CORPORATION PURCHASES LARGE PARCELS OF LAND AND RENTS HOMES FOR CORPORATE PROFIT IS NOT AS ATTRACTIVE TO ME AS HAVING A BUSINESS OR INDIVIDUAL OWNER MANAGED APARTMENTS. IN AN APARTMENT BUILDING OR INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE CITY. I SAY THIS IN SPITE OF SOME CURRENT LEGAL ZONING PRACTICES, RATHER THAN IN THEIR SUPPORT. POINT TO A GROUP OF RENTAL HOMES OF THE DENSITY ALLOWED BY REZONING WILL NOT IN MY OPINION, INCREASED PROPERTY VALUES IN MARYSVILLE, AS MUCH AS ONE ACRE INDIVIDUALLY OWNED HOMES. WOULD THE LONG RANGE PLANNING OF MARYSVILLE SUGGESTED ZONING OF NO GREATER HOUSING DENSITY THAN ONE HOME PER ACRE FOR THIS AREA? I RESPECT ALL THE WORK AND NON EMOTIONAL PLANNING THESE COMMITTEES HAVE DONE AND I WILL NOT OVERTURN THOSE SUGGESTIONS AT THIS TIME AND 0.4 . FINALLY, MARYSVILLE DOES HAVE A LACK OF AFFORDABLE RENTAL HOUSING. BUT THE PRICE POINT OF THESE RENTAL HOMES AFFORDABLE HOUSING NEEDS ARE NOT BEING MET.

I ASKED WHAT HAS CHANGED FROM THAT MEETING A YEAR AGO. WHAT? OUR SOCKS REALITY IN AMERICAN HOMES FOR RENT, BRINGING TO MARYSVILLE THAT WILL ENRICH OUR COMMUNITY. WE'VE HEARD WHAT THIS WILL DO FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIVE HERE WHAT IT WILL DO FOR A CORPORATION OVER 1700 MILES AWAY , AND WHAT IT WILL DO FOR THEIR GROSS PROFIT ON THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE. BUT WE HAVEN'T HEARD IS WHAT THIS TRULY BRINGS TO CENTRAL OHIO. WHAT IT BRINGS TO MARYSVILLE AND WE DEFINITELY HAVE NOT HEARD WHAT THIS BRINGS FROM MY NEIGHBORS. THANK YOU. MM HMM. OKAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

MICHAEL. APPRECIATE IT. I'M STEVE CANNON WITH THE UNION COUNTY AIRPORT AUTHORITY VICE PRESIDENT 76 760 CLIMBER ROAD MARYSVILLE, PREVIOUS TO THE MEETING, YOU ALL RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE AIRPORT AUTHORITY EXPRESSING OUR CONCERNS WITH REGARD TO THIS DEVELOPMENT. AND I'D LIKE TO READ A FEW OF THOSE POINTS INTO THE RECORD AS WELL. ESTABLISHED IN 1970, THE UNION COUNTY AIRPORT SUPPORTS GENERAL AVIATION NEEDS ARE ONE OF THE FASTEST AND LARGEST, GROWING ME MUNICIPAL AREAS IN THE STATE. IT HAS AIRCRAFT THAT ARE USED BY TWO AND BASED AT THE AIRPORT BY TWO INTERNATIONAL, MULTI BILLION DOLLAR CORPORATIONS, THREE MULTIMILLION DOLLAR REGIONAL COMPANIES AND THREE NONPROFIT AVIATION ORGANIZATIONS. THE AIRPORT GENERATES OVER 2.5 MILLION ANNUALLY FOR THE LOCAL MARYSVILLE COMMUNITIES.

ADDITIONALLY THE AIRPORT SUPPORTS THE COMMUNITY WITH NUMEROUS EVENTS. INCLUDING TWO FLYING'S AVIATION STEM CLASSES, THE ALL OHIO BALLOON FEST OR HOW NATIONAL GUARD HELICOPTER OPERATIONS, MEDEVAC OPERATIONS, AND FINALLY, THE AIRPORT SUPPORTS THE FLIGHT TRAINING NEEDS OF THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY BOWLING GREEN STATE UNIVERSITY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF TOLEDO, YOU NEED A COUNTY AIRPORT AUTHORITY WISHES TO EXPRESS OUR CONTINUED CONCERN OVER MARYSVILLE. CONTINUED INDIFFERENCE OF FEDERAL AND STATE GUIDANCE IS PROVIDED. IN THE EIGHT REFERENCES IN THIS LETTER ON COMPATIBLE LAND USE NEAR AIRPORTS COMPATIBLE LAND USE ARE THOSE THAT CAN BE COEXIST WITH A NEARBY AIRPORT WITHOUT ENDANGERING. OR EXPOSING PEOPLE LIVING AND WORKING HERE BY TWO SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS, INCLUDING AVIATION, NOISE, AIRSPACE, VISUAL AND ATMOSPHERIC INTERFERENCE. WILDLIFE HAZARDS, PROTECTION OF PEOPLE AND PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT DENSITY. THIS CURRENT ZONING OF AGRICULTURAL RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT ZONING HAS A SIMILAR SIGNATURE TO ALL THE POINTS THAT MAKE FOR COMPATIBLE LAND USE.

DENSITY, RESIDENTIAL HOMES AND AIRPORTS NEAR THE AIRPORT. INCREASE OVERALL OBSTACLES

[01:05:01]

SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. UM THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I CAN TELL YOU THAT I DID SPEAK WITH ONE OF THE SALES REPS AT ADINA POINT, AND THERE ARE 54 LOTS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN CLAIMED. AND I DROVE AROUND, AND THERE'S LIKE 19 LOTS THAT ARE NOT COMPLETED, SO THEY THAT'S 73 HOUSES, TIMES TWO CARS THAT ARE NOT INCLUDED IN YOUR TRAFFIC STUDY. I DO BELIEVE JUST THOUGHT I'D THROW THAT OUT THERE. AND MY TAKE AWAY FROM THE LAST CITY COUNCIL MEETING. WHEN WE DID THE FIRST READING WAS THAT THERE'S NO PRECEDENCE FOR THIS KIND OF NEIGHBORHOOD, ESPECIALLY THIS NEIGHBORHOOD WITH 298 HOUSES. THERE'S NO PRECEDENCE FOR IT, SO IT'S A RISK. UM IT'S A RISK TO HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE. DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY THIS, UM, THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE ON WEAVER ROAD. THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN WEAVER RIDGE, ADINA POINT CHESTNUT, RUN KEYSTONE AND ALL THE HOMES IN AND AROUND CHESTNUT STREET. UM, WHERE DEAD ENDS INTO FIFTH STREET. IT'S A RISK. IT'S A RISK FOR ME BECAUSE IT'S IN MY BACKYARD. SO I AM ASKING FOR YOU TO PLEASE KEEP THE LAND AS OWNED , UM, ONE ACRE LOTS WITH A HOUSE . I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT IN MY BACKYARD AND THEY COULD BE MY NEW NEIGHBORS. I JUST THINK THAT WOULD BE THE BETTER WAY FOR OUR CITY TO GO. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY? MHM ANYBODY ELSE? EVENING JAMES H. OKAY. MY NAME IS JIM VON DRE. I LIVE AT 17335 ROBINSON ROAD IN MARYSVILLE, OHIO. 34 YEARS AGO, I LANDED A JOB AT TRUE TECH INDUSTRIES IN SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. MY WIFE AND I. MARLENE MADE THE DECISION THAT WE WOULDN'T ACCEPT THE JOB UNLESS THERE WAS AN L. C. M S CHURCH AND SCHOOL WITHIN DRIVABLE RANGE. OF THE JOB SEARCH BROUGHT US TO MARYSVILLE

[01:10:03]

SOME OF YOU SAY IT'S GOOD. SOME OF YOU SAY IT'S BAD. I WOULD CHALLENGE YOU TO SEE IT AS A CHANCE TO SHARE THE GOSPEL. THE ST JOHNS SCHOOL EXPANSION IS FOR THAT VERY REASON. COUNTY GETS BIGGER AND BIGGER. HOW DO YOU LOOK AT IT? DO YOU SEE IT AS AN INVASION OR DO YOU SEE IT AS AN OPPORTUNITY? MY FATHER ALWAYS SAID IF YOU'RE NOT GROWING, YOU'RE DYING. THERE'S AN OLD SAYING YOU CAN'T STOP PROGRESS. DO YOU? DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT A COMPANY WOULD INVEST $90 MILLION INTO A COMMUNITY PROJECT JUST TO WATCH IT FALL APART AND NOT BE PROFITABLE? YES THAT'S THAT'S SAD. THERE ARE OTHER HIGH RENT MULTI UNIT COMMUNITIES IN OUR IN MARYSVILLE DOING FINE.

THESE WOULD BE THE FIRST INDIVIDUAL HOUSE RENTAL IN MARYSVILLE COMMUNITY IN TOWN, AND IT DOES SHOW A LOT OF PROMISE. HOW MANY OF YOU THOUGH , WOULD BE WILLING TO GIFT ONE OF YOUR LARGEST ASSETS FOR THE GOSPEL. JUST REMEMBER WHAT JESUS SAID. TO WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN MUCH IS EXPECTED. MY HOPE IS THAT YOU WOULD SEE THE OPPORTUNITY IN UNION COUNTY. MY FINAL HOPE WOULD BE THAT SOMEDAY YOU WOULD HEAR THE WORDS OF MATTHEW 25 VERSE 23. HIS MASTER REPLIED.

WELL DONE NOW. GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT. YOU'VE BEEN FAITHFUL WITH A FEW THINGS. I WILL PUT YOU IN CHARGE OF MANY THINGS COME AND SHARE YOUR MASTER'S HAPPINESS. OKAY THANK YOU. JIM.

APPRECIATE IT. VERY GOOD GREETINGS, MEMBERS OF MARYSVILLE CITY COUNCIL. MY NAME IS BILL BLESSING AND I'M A STATE SENATOR REPRESENTING THE EIGHTH DISTRICT , WHICH IS COMPRISED OF THE WESTERN AND NORTHERN SUBURBS OF HAMILTON COUNTY, AS WELL AS PARTS OF THE CITY OF CINCINNATI.

I WAS ASKED BY SOME MARYSVILLE RESIDENTS TO SPEAK BECAUSE OF CONCERNS OVER PLANNED DEVELOPMENT INVOLVING A LARGE CORPORATE LANDLORD. NORMALLY I WOULDN'T AGREE TO SOMETHING LIKE THIS, AND I CAN APPRECIATE THAT MEMBERS OF COUNCIL MIGHT BE APPREHENSIVE ABOUT MY APPEARANCE HERE. I DECIDED IN FAVOR OF SPEAKING BECAUSE I'VE SEEN WHAT LARGE INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS HAVE DONE TO HAMILTON COUNTY, CINCINNATI, IN MY HOMETOWN SHIP OF COLD RAIN IN PARTICULAR. AND REGRET IT AND WOULD REGRET IT IF I DIDN'T I GAVE YOUR REPRESENTATIVES AT THE STATEHOUSE, A HEADS UP THAT I WAS SPEAKING IN DEFERENCE TO THEM AND AS A SIGN OF GOOD FAITH WITH THAT IN MIND, LET ME START OFF BY SAYING THAT YOUR CITY MANAGER IS CORRECT THAT MORE HOUSING IS NEEDED. I RECOGNIZE THAT IT ISN'T POPULAR TO HEAR THE NEED FOR SOME MORE DENSITY, BUT THAT'S GOING TO PLAY A LARGE PART IN REDUCING RENTS AND HOME PRICES TO THE POINT WHERE THEY'RE MORE AFFORDABLE. IT IS A LOT OF ECONOMICS THAT IF YOU INCREASE THE SUPPLY OF SOMETHING, EVERYTHING ELSE EQUAL THAN PRICES WILL COME DOWN. HOWEVER THINGS BECOME MURKIER WHEN YOU CONSIDER COMPETITION OR LACK THEREOF AND THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF MONOPOLISTIC PRACTICES WITH RESPECT TO SINGLE FAMILY HOMES IF MANY OF THEM WERE RENTAL YET OWNED BY SMALLER LOCAL LANDLORDS, YOU WOULD FIND THAT A SUPPLY COMES ONLINE. THEY'D BE COMPETING AGAINST EACH OTHER FOR TENANTS. POTENTIAL TENANTS COULD FIND DEALS BY SHOPPING AROUND AT ANY LANDLORD.

THAT PRICE DISARMS TOO HIGH WOULD WIND UP LOSING MONEY BY HAVING NO TENANTS. LANDLORDS COULD ATTEMPT TO GET TOGETHER AND FIX PRICES, BUT THIS IS ILLEGAL AND THERE'S AN ANTITRUST LAWSUIT PENDING AGAINST REAL PAGE FOR ALLEGEDLY CONCLUDING WITH LANDLORDS TO DO EXACTLY THAT. THUS INCREASING SUPPLY WOULD IN COURT WOULD CORRELATE WITH LOWER RENTS. IF LANDLORDS HAVE TO COMPETE. COMPARE THIS WITH LARGE INSTITUTIONAL HOUSING INVESTORS AND THEY HAVE FEWER CONCERNS. THEY SIMPLY KNOW WHAT EVERYONE'S RENT IS BECAUSE THEY OWN ALL OF THE HOMES. MOREOVER THE SCALE OF THEIR OPERATION ALLOWS THEM TO WAIT THINGS OUT FAR LONGER THAN SMALLER LANDLORDS. IF THEY WIND UP WITH SOME VACANCIES. IF YOU DOUBT THE SCALE AT WHICH THERE BANKROLLED LOOK NO FURTHER THAN OHIO STR AS PURCHASING 173,000 SHARES OF STOCK AND ONE OF THESE COMPANIES

[01:15:05]

HI MY NAME IS ALISON BETTENDORF . I LIVE AT 15 26 ASHER COURT, RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO SOMEONE WHO GOT A LETTER. UM AND I MOVED THREE YEARS AGO FROM NORTHWOODS DRIVE. UM I'M FULLY AWARE OF THAT CITY COUNCIL AND THE SCHOOL BOARD ARE SEPARATE ENTITIES. HOWEVER THE DECISIONS THAT ARE MADE HERE AT CITY COUNCIL ABSOLUTELY IMPACT OUR SCHOOLS. I'D LIKE TO, UM I'D LIKE YOU TO REALLY HEAR SOME OF THESE POINTS AS I SPEAK NOT JUST FOR MY FAMILY'S EXPERIENCE, BUT ALSO MANY OTHERS. I HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN ATTENDING MARYSVILLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS, AND WE RECENTLY RECEIVED A LETTER E MAILS ASKING PARENTS TO DRIVE THEIR CHILDREN TO SCHOOL IF THEY ARE ABLE TO BECAUSE TRANSPORT BECAUSE OF A TRANSPORTATION STAFF SHORTAGE THAT HAS A HARD ASK FOR SOME OF THE MANY FAMILIES THAT WERE BOTH PARENTS WORK. AH THIS IS NOT NEW FROM LAST YEAR. OUR SCHOOLS ARE STILL FULL AND THERE IS A NATIONAL SHORTAGE OF BUS DRIVERS WITH CONTINUING RESONATE RESIGNATIONS LAST YEAR. OUR SON WAS LATE ALMOST EVERY DAY FOR CLASS WHEN HE WAS DROPPED OFF FROM THE BUS. THE DRIVERS HAVE MULTIPLE ROUTES FOR THE ELEMENTARY, INTERMEDIATE, MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOLS AND CANNOT POSSIBLY GET OUR KIDS TO SCHOOL ANY QUICKER THAT WAY, ADDING MORE CHILDREN IN THIS DISTRICT WILL STRAIN. UH, JUST THE SCHOOL TRANSPORTATION ALONE, UM, WHEN THEY HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY FROM THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE CITY TO NORTH WOODS UP IN MILL VALLEY.

UM THIS DOES NOT EVEN TOUCH ON THE FACT THAT OUR SCHOOLS HAVE LOST FUNDING. COULD NOT PASS A LEVY AND HAVE MANY MORE CHILDREN ENROLLING EVERY YEAR. OUR SCHOOLS ARE IN A CRISIS AND WE SHOULD CONSIDER TRYING TO FIX THE CURRENT PROBLEMS BEFORE ADDING ADDITIONAL CHILDREN TO THIS DISTRICT. NEXT. I WANTED TO POINT OUT THE ONE THING THAT WAS STATED AT THE LAST MEETING AT THAT IT DOES NOT HELP THE COMMUNITY WITH PUBLIC SCHOOL SITUATIONS WAS THAT ALTHOUGH ST JOHN'S WOULD BE USING THE FUNDS FROM THEIR SALE OF THE LAND, UH , TO BUILD THEIR SCHOOL TO MAKE THEIR SCHOOLS, UM EXCUSE ME TO EXPAND THEIR SCHOOL, UM, THEIR SCHOOL IS PRIVATE. AH AH, AND THEIR TUITION IS THAT INVOLVED FOR THE CHILDREN WHO ATTEND THEIR SCHOOL COST FOR THIS YEAR

[01:20:04]

PROFESSIONAL PARKWAY, IN MY OPINION, IS A SAD, TEMPORARY SOLUTION TO A BIGGER PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY IF APPROVING TO ADD CONSIDERABLE TRAFFIC INADVERTENTLY, WITH THESE DENSE DEVELOPMENTS, BETTER TRAFFIC FLOW PATTERNS IS NOT JUST IMPORTANT. IT IS NECESSARY. IT IS NECESSARY YESTERDAY. HMM MARYSVILLE IS AN AMAZING COMMUNITY AND WE UNDERSTAND IT WILL GROW. REGARDLESS WE JUST NEED SMART GROWTH, NOT FORCED GROWTH. WE ARE NOT OPPOSED TO GROWTH, BUT THE INFRASTRUCTURES SHOULD BE A TOP PRIORITY AND DEVELOPMENT AT THIS SCALE SHOULD NOT BE EXPEDITED. IN THE WORDS OF A VERY GOOD FRIEND. MARYSVILLE IS A PRIME COMMUNITY FOR GROWTH. WE ARE NOT BEGGARS. WE ARE CHOOSERS. WE DO NOT HAVE TO SETTLE FOR A POOR DEAL. JUST BECAUSE IT IS GROWTH. UM WE CAN DECIDE ON THE RIGHT TYPE OF GROWTH WHEN IT IS WHEN THE BEST OPTIONS ARE PROPOSED. WE ARE NOT A DESPERATE CITY AND WE SHOULD NOT ACT LIKE THAT EITHER. AS MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL. WE ASK THAT YOU STAY TRUE TO YOUR WORDS WHEN YOU WERE JUST CANDIDATES THAT YOU WOULD LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE OF YOUR COMMUNITY NBR VOICE IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THESE PEOPLE ARE IN YOUR WORD OR NOT, BECAUSE THIS THERE IS UNITY IN ALL OF OUR COMMUNITIES.

SUBJECTIVELY READING ALL OF THE REPUTATIONAL RISKS THAT COME WITH AMERICAN HOMES FOR RENT.

BUT I WON'T DO THAT. I DID A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH AND I FOUND AN OBJECTIVE MEASURE OF 1.22 OUT OF FIVE STARS ON THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. IS THAT SOMEONE YOU WANT TO PARTNER WITH? TRUE PARTNERSHIP AND MY EXPERIENCE. TRUE PARTNERS ARE ACTIVELY ENGAGED WHENEVER POSSIBLE. THUS FAR, WITH PRIMARILY SEEN AND HEARD FROM A THIRD PARTY WHO CAN WALK AWAY AT ANY TIME. I BELIEVE HE'S AN HOURLY EMPLOYEE. IF I'M SITTING IN YOUR SEATS, I'M ASKING MYSELF IS AMERICAN HOMES FOR RENT AN ORGANIZATION THAT I WANT TO FORM A TRUE PARTNERSHIP WITH FOR THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE GOVERNANCE. AS COUNCILMAN SEYMOUR MENTIONED LAST MEETING. WE DO NOT HAVE THE PROPER GOVERNANCE IN PLACE TO MANAGE A COMMUNITY LIKE THIS. TO ME. THIS FEELS LIKE WALKING TO THE DEEP END OF THE POOL. HOLDING YOUR NOSE JUMPING IN NOT KNOWING HOW TO SWIM AND WISHING FOR THE BEST. THANK YOU. YES. MY NAME IS RICHARD CLARKE AT 14 200 WEAVER ROAD JUST GOT ON TOP LITTLE BIT ABOUT MARYSVILLE. NICE QUIET LITTLE TOWN AND MIDDLE OF GREAT STATE OF I O. IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, THE GREATEST COUNTRY DURING THE AMERICA WHERE IN THE WORLD WHY IS THAT GREAT BECAUSE OF CHOICES. THERE'S A LOT OF US THAT LIVE ON WEAVER ROAD THAT MADE THE CHOICE. TO LIVE LIVE WHEN WE'VE ROAD BECAUSE WE LIKED BEING OUT OUTSIDE OF TOWN CLOSE, BUT YET WE'RE OUT. IT'S QUIET. THERE'S NOT A LOT OF TRAFFIC. YOU DON'T SEE A LOT OF HOUSES, UM JC WHEN HE WAS FIRST LOOKING AT ACQUIRING THE HOUSE NEXT TO ME. I WAS OUT WORKING IN MY YARD.

TAKE THEM OVER AND SAID, WHY DID YOU COULD YOU WOULD ASK COUNSEL, PLEASE? WHAT'S THAT ADDRESS? COUNCIL PLEASE. I'M SORRY. UM OK . THANK YOU. WHEN HE COME OVER TO ME, HE ASKED ME, HE SAID, WHY DID YOU CHOOSE HERE? HMM. I SAID YOU HEAR THAT. AND HE LISTENED FOR A MINUTE AND HE SAID, I UNDERSTAND IT'S BECAUSE IT'S QUIET. YOU CAN STAND OUT THERE. THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT OF TRAFFIC. OF COURSE, IT WORKED TIME. THERE'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE, BUT MOST OF THE TIME DURING DAY, THERE'S NOT A LOT OF QUIET TRAFFIC OUT THERE. IT'S QUIET. THAT WAS THE CHOICE WE MADE. SOME PEOPLE WILL MAKE THE CHOICE. TO WANT TO LIVE IN A DEVELOPMENT. TO PUT SOMETHING IN LIKE THIS. IS BASICALLY COVERING THE CONCRETE AND BLACKTOP. PRETTY MUCH WALL. THE WALL. WHICH KIND OF GETS AWAY FROM THE IDEA OF THE ORIGINAL ONE HOUSE PER ACRE. THERE'S MORE YOU GOT MORE GREEN. RIGHT HERE ON OUR LOGO. WHERE THE GRASS IS GREENER. IF WE KEEP PUTTING IN THESE WALL TO WALL PLACES LIKE THIS, THERE'S NOT GONNA BE ANY GRASS. IT'S ALL GONNA BE CONCRETE AND BLACK DOG, AND WE'RE GONNA END UP JUST LIKE COLUMBUS. OR ANY OTHER BIG CITY IN OUR LITTLE TOWN FEELING IS GONNA BE GONE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, RICHARD. GOOD EVENING

[01:30:11]

ASK OUR RIGHT HONORABLE COUNTY ENGINEER AND I BELIEVE HE WILL TELL YOU THAT WE'VE ERODE WAS NEVER DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC THAT IT CURRENTLY CARRIES, LET ALONE THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC IT WILL BE FORCED TO CARRY. IF THIS PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AND OTHERS LIKE IT ARE APPROVED. THERE IS ANOTHER TYPE OF INFRASTRUCTURE TO CONSIDER, AND THAT'S OUR SCHOOL INFRASTRUCTURE COMPARED TO OTHER TYPES OF RENTAL HOUSING . THIS PARTICULAR STYLE OF RENTAL PROPERTIES WILL BRING FAR MORE STUDENTS THAN OTHER TYPES OF RENTAL HOUSING PER UNIT. ALSO I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT THE TRACK RECORD, NOT THIS APPLICANT SPECIFICALLY, ALTHOUGH THEY DO HAVE A TRACK RECORD, BUT THE TRACK RECORD FOR THIS TYPE OF DETACHED SINGLE FAMILY RENTAL HOMES. I'VE BEEN IN ATTORNEY IN THIS COMMUNITY FOR 14 YEARS COMING UP ON 14 YEARS, I HAVE FIELDED A LOT OF CALLS ASKING FOR MY HELP. INVOLVING COMPLAINTS INVOLVING NEIGHBORS.

I SEND THEM TO OTHER LAW FIRMS BECAUSE, FRANKLY, I DON'T LIKE THOSE KINDS OF CASES. BUT WHEN THEY DO COME UP COUNCIL WHEN THEY DO COME UP, THEY ARE ALMOST ALWAYS INVOLVING NEIGHBORS WHO ARE IN FREESTANDING SINGLE FAMILY HOME RENTAL HOUSING SIMILAR TO WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED IN THIS PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT. I CAN'T TELL YOU WHY I'M JUST TELLING YOU THE FACTS. I FEEL THAT TWO OF THESE CALLS RECENTLY IN MILL VALLEY AND I WON'T TELL YOU WHO THE NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR OWNER WAS. BUT I THINK YOU GET THE IDEA NOW, IN EIGHT YEARS OF BEING A PARIS TOWNSHIP TRUSTEE, I FIELDED LOTS OF CALLS FROM CONSTITUENTS ABOUT A VARIETY OF MATTERS. I HAVE NEVER FIELDED AS MANY CALLS NOR AS IN UNANIMOUS IN THEIR OPPOSITION, AS I HAVE FROM PARIS TOWNSHIP RESIDENTS AND MARYSVILLE CITY RESIDENTS. AS I HAVE ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT. I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU SHOULD SAY NO TO EVERY PROPOSED USE OF THIS PROPERTY. IT SHOULD NOT. IT SHOULD NOT BE FORCED TO REMAIN A AN EMPTY FIELD FOREVER. I AM ABSOLUTELY NOT SAYING THAT. ALL I AM SAYING IS THAT YOU MAKE SURE THAT WHATEVER YOU APPROVED FOR THIS PROPERTY, MAKE SURE IT'S ABOUT WHAT'S BEST FOR ALL OF MARYSVILLE. AND PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT GROWTH PAYS FOR GROWTH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR . YOU FINGER APPRECIATE YOUR PRESENCE. I APPRECIATE IT. MY NAME IS MIKE KYLER. I LIVE OFF LEVERAGE. UM I AM THE INTEREST OF TIME. I ACTUALLY PUT TOGETHER A NICE FOUR MINUTE SPEECH, BUT I DON'T THINK I'M GOING TO READ.

THE WHOLE THING IS THERE'S A LOT OF THIS STUFF HAS BEEN COVERED, BUT I THINK THERE'S SOME KEY POINTS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO EITHER REITERATE OR EXPOUND ON A LITTLE BIT, SO I'M GOING TO ADD THOSE A LITTLE BIT, SO IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE JUMPY, BUT THAT'S OKAY. UM IT'S I THINK IT'S VERY, VERY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE WITH WITH THIS PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT. UM I MEAN, IT IS A HUGE RISK. I THINK SOMEBODY ELSE MENTIONED FORWARD. IT'S NOT BEEN

[01:35:04]

UM I KNOW THERE'S ONLY REALLY TWO ENTITIES THAT ARE BENEFITING HERE AND BOTH OF THEM ARE, YOU KNOW DEVELOPER, REAL ESTATE PERSONALITY DELAWARE AND A COMPANY IN NEVADA. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? I DON'T LIKE SOMEBODY PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED. I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE REHASH THAT WE'RE ALL THE MONEY IS GOING IS OUTSIDE OF MARYSVILLE. UM THE I SAID, WE FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THE YOU KNOW WE NEED TO TAKE TIME TO ESTABLISH CLEAR MONITORING REGULATIONS. THE OVERSIGHT OF THESE UNITS THE IF YOU LOOK ANYBODY THAT'S TAKEN THE TIME TO GOOGLE AND LOOK UP GREAT AMERICAN HOLES, HOMES, THEIR MAINTENANCE AND EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT HIM IS SO BAD THE OVERSIGHT TO LOOK AND TO MAKE SURE THE UNITS DON'T BECOME DILAPIDATED AND HURT THE RESIDENTS OR THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I THINK SOMEBODY MENTIONED ABOUT 1.2 RATING IF YOU WENT TO A RESTAURANT OVER OVER AGAIN, AND THEY CONSTANTLY GOT 1.2 STARS OR TO A CAR DEALERSHIP OR ANYTHING YOU BUY. FROM WHAT? YOU CONTINUALLY GO BACK TO THEM.

THEY SHOULD PROVE THAT THEY'RE GOOD AT WHAT THEY DO IN A SMALLER SCALE, OR AT LEAST THAT BEFORE YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO PUT SOMETHING AT THIS SCALE. UM I'M JUST GONNA BE SHORTER THAN I'VE STILL GOT FOUR MINUTES AND FINALLY TO SORRY WHEN I SOMETIMES WHEN I RAMBLE, I GO LONGER, BUT FINALLY, YOU KNOW, AND SOMEBODY SAID THIS QUOTE I DID READ THE PLAN AND I WANT TO REPEAT IT 100 YEARS AFTER WE'VE GONE AND FORGOTTEN. THOSE WHO HAVE NEVER HEARD OF US WILL BE LIVING WITH THE RESULTS OF OUR ACTIONS. I THINK THAT IT COULD BE LESS THAN THAT. WE'LL FIND OUT THE RELATIVE THIS ACTION COULD CAUSE US A PROBLEM. THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING MY TIME. I APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU, MR TYLER. HELLO MY NAME IS PATRICIA STELES. ER I LIVE AT 2076 DERBY DRIVE IN MILL VALLEY, WHICH IS BEING DISCUSSED RIGHT NOW. A FEW YEARS AGO, MY HUSBAND AND I UPON MOVING INTO THE AREA SPOKE WITH MR CARPENTER AND WE EXPRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT INVESTMENT PROPERTIES IN OUR COMMUNITY BECAUSE WHERE WE CAME FROM, IT WAS A REAL PROBLEM. AND HE TOLD US THAT THAT HE WOULD LISTEN TO OUR CONCERNS. AND YET I'VE HEARD SOME TALK THAT YOU YOU SUPPORT THIS. THIS PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AND WE'VE BEEN VERY CONCERNED AND TRYING TO GET A HOLD OF YOU AND HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO. THERE'S A FEW THINGS THAT I , UM I WANTED TO TOUCH ON THAT HAVEN'T BEEN DISCUSSED TONIGHT. AND ONE OF THE THINGS IS VERY OBVIOUS MIDDLE CLASS AMERICA AND

[01:40:05]

IT'S IMPORTANT TO US TO LIVE IN A COMMUNITY WHERE PEOPLE CARE ABOUT THEIR NEIGHBORS WHERE THEY KNOW THEM AND THEY CARE ABOUT THEIR PROPERTY. AS I RIDE MY BIKE AROUND MY NEIGHBORHOOD, I CAN PICK OUT THE RENTAL PROPERTIES. THEY ARE HOUSES AND NOT HOMES, A TEMPORARY PLACE FOR TENANTS TO LIVE UNTIL THEIR NEXT MOVE. MANY DO NOT BOTHER TO CONNECT OR PARTICIPATE IN THE COMMUNITY. THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO ADD ANY PERSONAL TOUCHES TO THE RESIDENTS. I'VE HEARD COMPLAINTS ABOUT SHODDY COVERUP JOBS ON THE HOUSES. THE RENT IS SO HIGH THAT THEY FIND IT DIFFICULT TO SAVE FOR A HOME OF THEIR OWN AND THE LACK OF ENTRY LEVEL HOUSES KEEPS THEM RENTING. WE CAME HERE FROM ALLEN COUNTY, WHERE I WORKED AS AN RN AND MY HUSBAND WAS IN LAW ENFORCEMENT. WE ARE ALL TOO AWARE OF POVERTY AND BLIGHT THAT EXISTS IN LIMA. PROJECT HOUSING PLAN. DEVELOPMENT UNITS WERE ALL OVER THE CITY, AND THEY DETERIORATED DETERIORATED INTO DRUG HOUSES AND SLUMS. THERE ARE AREAS WHERE IT ISN'T EVEN SAFE TO DRIVE. THIS PROPOSED EU DE TO WEAVER ROAD DOES NOT MEET THE NEEDS OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN MARYSVILLE. LUXURY APARTMENTS ARE BEING BUILT AT EACH END OF THE CITY. THE RENT IS AROUND $2500 A MONTH THE MONTHLY RENT AT THE PROPOSED P U. D IS THE SAME OR HIGHER. THE OWNERS SET THE RENT AND THEY CAN RAISE IT AT ANY TIME. THE GREAT THING ABOUT MARY'S VILLAGE. THE OVERALL SENSE OF SAFETY. BIG CITIES ARE NOT SAFE GROWTH FOR THE SAKE OF GROWTH THAT LINES THE POCKETS OF A FEW AND BIG CORPORATIONS WILL NOT BENEFIT MARYSVILLE AT ALL. CORPORATIONS ARE HERE TO MAKE A PROFIT. I UNDERSTAND THAT AMERICAN HOMES FOR RENT IS BUILDING AND VIOLET , BERKSHIRE AND JEROME TOWNSHIP EVEN THOUGH JEROME PETITIONED AGAINST THE DEVELOPMENT AND PASSED A REFERENDUM. THEY WERE SUED BY THE CORPORATION IN THE PLANS REMOVING FORWARD NO ONE WANTS THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD. PEOPLE WANT TO WORK TO OWN THEIR OWN HOMES. THIS IS A WEALTHY, POWERFUL CORPORATION THAT EXPECTS TO CONTROL THE HOUSING MARKET PRICES WILL ONLY GO UP FOR HOUSING, ESPECIALLY RENT.

AMERICAN STUDENT NOT ACCEPT THE MANTRA THAT THEY WILL OWN NOTHING AND LIKE IT. I RESPECTFULLY ASKED THE COUNCIL TO STOP THIS REZONING AND PROPOSED EU DE THANK YOU. DO WE KNOW IF WE HAVE MORE PEOPLE IN THE HALLWAY TO THIS COUNCIL AT THIS TIME I SEE THE ONLY TWO ADAMO IN THE HALLWAY. OKAY SO, UM, IN THE INTEREST OF TIME, LET'S LOOK AT MAYBE, UM TWO OR

[01:45:04]

WHO SO THERE'S USUALLY YOU KNOW YOU OWN THE HOME, THEY, YOU KNOW, GOVERN AND THEY MAKE YOU PAY THE FEES. SO WHO'S GOVERNING THESE? THAT'S YOU KNOW, ALL I HAVE BESIDES EVERYTHING, BUT EVERYBODY ELSE WAS SAYING SO. THANKS HEATHER. APPRECIATE IT. HELLO TO THE HONORABLE COUNCIL.

THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SPEAK TONIGHT. UM I DID KIND OF CUT IN LINE. MIND TELLING US SO SORRY.

MY NAME IS HEIDI HANSON AND I LIVE AT 13997 WANT CONTROLLED? I'VE LIVED THERE FOR ABOUT 10 MONTHS, 11 MONTHS. AND PRIOR TO THAT I LIVED IN TOWN. HMM I MOVED TO MARYSVILLE WHEN MY SON WAS IN THIRD GRADE. I'M SORRY. I CAN'T REMEMBER THE MATH. I'M IN A LITTLE BIT OF PAIN RIGHT NOW.

I NEED A HIP REPLACEMENT. SO UM , BUT ANYWAY, REGARDLESS, UM, I WORKED FOR 30 YEARS AT HONDA OF AMERICA. I WAS BLESSED WITH FOUR PROMOTIONS. MY SISTER IS A MANAGER AT THE MIDWEST GROUP AND MY SON IS CURRENTLY A JUNIOR AT THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY. AND HE IS, UM. GOING INTO MECHANICAL ENGINEERING BECAUSE HE GOT A PART TIME JOB AT HONDA. AND HE WAS ORIGINALLY GOING TO GO INTO LAW. AND NO DISRESPECT TO LAW STILL LOVES IT. AND I THINK HE ALWAYS SAID HE'D BE A DEBATER OR A TALK SHOW HOST. HE WOULD BE A GREAT LAWYER, BUT HE HAS FOUND THAT HE LOVES WORKING WITH HIS HANDS, SO HE HAS CHANGED HIS MAJOR TO A MECHANICAL ENGINEER. THAT WHICH IS GRANDFATHER WAS SO . I CAN TELL YOU THAT RIGHT NOW AT THE MIDWEST GROUP. MY SISTER STRUGGLES TO FIND EMPLOYEES.

[01:50:03]

AT HONDA SO THAT HE CAN BRING UP HIS G P A. AND HE SAID, I REFUSE. MY KID LOVES WORKING WITH HIS HANDS. HE WANTS TO BE EMPLOYED BY HONDA. HERE'S MY CONCERN. I'M RENTING NOW AND IN TWO YEARS I DID OWN I'VE OWNED A HOME ALL MY LIFE SINCE I WAS 21. UM WOULD BE ABLE TO CIRCLE BACK TO THE QUESTION AT HAND. YES I REALLY ENJOY YOUR FAMILY RETIREE AS A RETIREE OF HONDA. I'M NOT OWNING A HOUSE YET. I'M WAITING FOR TWO YEARS. WHEN MY SON GRADUATES BECAUSE RIGHT NOW I FIND THAT AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS NOT HERE. CAN I AFFORD IT? YES SIR. I CAN. I WAS BLESSED WITH A VERY GOOD JOB. BUT, SIR, I WANT TO HAVE A MORE MODEST HOME COST BECAUSE I LIKE TO TRAVEL NOW.

ONCE I GET MY HIP FIXED, I'M GONNA BE GOING ALL OVER THE PLACE. BUT ANYWAY, UM AND I WANT MY SON TO HAVE A HOME HERE. HE LOVES THIS TOWN. I LOVE THIS TOWN. I WANT TO BE HERE. WHAT I THINK YOU SHOULD DO IS DEFINITELY NOT DO THIS. THIS RENT HOMES I CAN TELL YOU AND I DON'T MEAN TO SPEAK BAD, BUT I LIVED AT THE REDWOOD APARTMENT COMPLEXES AND I LIVED THERE FOR SEVEN YEARS LOVED IT. TWO BEDS, TWO BATHS, GARAGE GREAT. AFTER MY SEVENTH YEAR FOR TWO YEARS BEFORE MY SEVENTH YEAR, I COMPLAINED BECAUSE THE CARPET THEY HAD PUT IN WAS LIKE AN OFF WHITE. IT LOOKED HORRIBLE. AND I HAD THEM CLEAN IT FOUR TIMES AND IT STILL LOOKED HORRIBLE. AND I ALWAYS RE UPPED MY RENT 15 MONTHS AT A TIME, BECAUSE I LIKE LIVING THERE. BUT. THAT THE CARPET WAS JUST BAD, AND THEY GAVE ME A THREE MONTHS WARNING TO MOVE OUT. JUST TO FIND A PLACE TO RENT TAKES MORE THAN THREE MONTHS HERE. IN MARYSVILLE OR TO BUY. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT MR ALEX HARRISON HAD A BEAUTIFUL PLACE OUT IN THE COUNTRY. THAT I LOVE AND IT'S A HOUSE AND I WENT FROM A TWO BEDROOM, TWO BATH TO A FOUR BEDROOM. BEAUTIFUL KITCHEN BEAUTIFUL LIVING ROOM SINCE TENURED FOR MY YORKIE. AND HERE'S WHAT I WOULD LIKE. I WOULD LIKE THE ONE ACRE ONE HOUSE. THERE IS BEAUTIFUL HOMES IN THE UPTOWN HERE. HOW ABOUT SOME MORE AFFORDABLE HOMES IN THE 1 75 TO 250 RANGE THAT HAVE BETTER ARCHITECTURE? AND THAT MAYBE MIMIC SOME OF THE BEAUTIFUL HISTORICAL THINGS IN THE UPTOWN IN THAT AREA. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. THANKS, HEIDI. APPRECIATE YOU. OKAY UM, EXCUSE ME. EXCUSE ME, SIR, WITH WE DID GET ONE PERSON AND THEN AND THEN WE'LL TAKE A BIT WILL TAKE ONE OF US FROM THE HALLWAY THAT WAS CALLED MAN. OKAY OKAY. OKAY ALREADY, WE'LL LET YOU BOTH. AND THEN WE'LL TAKE A BREAK. OKAY I'LL MAKE THIS BRIEF. AND I'M TOM HAMPTON , 13 88, A WEAVER ROAD. I HEARD A LOT OF GOOD CONCERNS HERE. MINE ISN'T LIKE ANY OF THEM. FEW WEEKS AGO, I READ AN ARTICLE BY ONE OF OHIO SENATORS. HE SAYS. THERE'S A MOVEMENT IN THIS COUNTRY FOR INDIVIDUAL AS WELL AS CORPORATIONS TO BUY HOMES. WHAT THEY'LL BE USING THEM FOR IS THAT LEADS HIM TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS. NOW. I'M NOT SAYING THAT THAT'S WHAT THIS CORPORATION WOULD DO.

BUT IF THEY DID AND CASH FLOW WOULD DICTATE WHETHER THEY DID IT OR NOT. IF THEY DID. YOU

[01:55:07]

GOOD EVENING. MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. MY NAME IS ALEX HARRISON. MY ADDRESS IS 715 MEADOW RIDGEWAY, UM, ALONG WITH MULTIPLE OTHER PROPERTIES. UM I'VE BEEN IN MARYSVILLE OVER 25 YEARS NOW, AND I BOUGHT 900 SQUARE FOOT LITTLE RANCH HOME THAT I GOT MY START IN WHEN I WAS 20 YEARS OLD. AND THAT LITTLE HOME WAS LITERALLY THE START AT THAT DINING ROOM TABLE FOR ME TO GROW A MULTIMILLION DOLLAR PLUMBING COMPANY AND GROW IT INTO THIS COMMUNITY. ALONG WITH THAT. AS MY NEIGHBORHOOD GREW OLDER, AND PEOPLE STARTED TO MOVE ON HOUSES STARTED TO COME UP FOR SALE, AND I ALWAYS WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE TO CARE AFTER THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT TOOK SUCH GOOD CARE OF MYSELF AND WHERE MY WIFE AND I GOT HER START AT.

WE'VE SINCE THEN BOUGHT SEVERAL HOMES ON THAT ROAD AND WITH PURCHASING THOSE HOMES ON THAT ROAD, WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO UPKEEP THE CHARM OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. I'VE ALWAYS MADE A JOKE TO ANY CONTRACTOR THAT COMES OVER AND WORKS THAT YOU COULD LITERALLY LAY YOUR CREDIT CARDS IN THE FRONT YARD. WALK AWAY FOR 30 YEARS COME BACK, AND THOSE CREDIT CARDS WILL STILL BE THERE TO THIS DAY, BECAUSE THAT'S THE TYPE OF NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WE LIVE IN. THAT'S MY MARYSVILLE.

FOR THE PAST THREE DAYS. I ACTUALLY DID WHAT'S CALLED A TURN AND BURN TRIP DOWN TO FLORIDA BECAUSE I'M IN THE PROCESS OF OPENING A NEW OPERATION IN THE TAMPA AREA AROUND RIVERVIEW, AND I GOT TO GO AND TOUR SOME RENTAL HOUSES. AND AS MOST OF, YOU KNOW, BEING A LANDLORD, YOU REALLY DON'T WANT TO RENT FROM ANYBODY ELSE. YOU'D RATHER JUST BUY YOUR OWN PROPERTY AND LIVE THERE. WELL WITH THIS BEING A NEW OPERATION, I JUST SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT? LET'S START BY DOING A RENTAL, WHETHER IT BE AN AIRBNB OR JUST A RENTAL PROPERTY. SO I GOT TO GO AND ACTUALLY TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT THESE BIG RENTAL PROPERTY CORPORATIONS ARE ALL ABOUT. AND THREE OF THE HOUSES THAT I GOT TO GO INTO BEING A SERVICE PLUMBER OF 17 YEARS AND HAVING THE EYES THAT I DO I GET TO SEE A WHOLE BUNCH OF ROACHES ON SOME OF THE FLOORS AND THE CABINETS, DEFERRED MAINTENANCE LEFT AND RIGHT AND THESE PROPERTIES WHEN I WALKED INTO THERE, AND LIKE I SAID, I HAVE AN EYE FOR LITERALLY BEING ABLE TO LOOK AROUND AND SEE, YOU KNOW PROBLEMS WITHIN A HOME BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I'M TRAINED TO DO. BUT THESE PROPERTIES THAT I WAS WALKING INTO THESE ARE THE BIG CORPORATIONS. SO I START DOING MY RESEARCH. I GET ONTO FACEBOOK AS ALL OF YOU KNOW, MARY'S WITH PEOPLE IN THE KNOW IT CAN BE A LITTLE BIT OF A DUMPSTER FIRE AT TIMES, BUT I JUMP IN AND I LOOK AT THESE, YOU KNOW, CORPORATIONS THAT OWN ALL THESE PROPERTIES AND I'M LITERALLY SAYING THE SAME COMPLAINTS OVER AND OVER AND OVER DEFERRED MAINTENANCE.

ISSUES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD NEIGHBORS BEING PROBLEMATIC. THIS IS REALLY WHAT OUR TOWN IS BECOMING, TOO, IS JUST, YOU KNOW, LET'S PILE IN A WHOLE BUNCH OF THESE PROPERTIES IN ONE AREA. I MEAN, THINK ABOUT THE SMALL TIME INVESTORS AND THE PEOPLE THAT TRULY DO CARE ABOUT THIS COMMUNITY. I'M NOT GOING TO SIT THERE AND SAY THAT EVERY LANDLORD IN THIS TOWN IS THE IDEAL LANDLORD. WE'VE ALL DEALT WITH SLUMLORDS IN THIS TOWN, AND WE'VE SEEN SOME OF THE PRODUCTS THAT THEY ALLOW THEIR TENANTS TO LIVE IN. I CAN TELL YOU THIS MUCH AS I STAND HERE ON MY PROPERTIES. I'M NOT THAT GUY. AND JUST LIKE HEIDI JUST SAID WHEN SHE WAS UP HERE. SHE'S ACTUALLY ONE OF MY TENANTS, AND I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW SHE WAS GOING TO BE HERE. BUT MY TENANTS KNOW HANDS DOWN. YOU CALL ME I'M ANSWERING WITHIN AN HOUR. OKAY IF I DON'T ANSWER, I'M USUALLY INTO SOME SORT OF A MEETING AND I WILL GET BACK TO YOU AS QUICKLY AS I CAN. THERE'S FOUR HOURS A DAY THAT MY WIFE AND I ARE NOT ASLEEP. SHE'S A VERY, VERY LATE NIGHT OUT. I'M A VERY EARLY MORNING PERSON. AND IF OUR PHONES CAN'T BE REACHED, THEY KNOW THAT THEY HAVE A FOUR HOUR WINDOW WHERE THEY CAN'T GET US. THESE LARGE CORPORATIONS 24 48 HOURS 72 HOURS, SO LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION. DO YOU ALL WANT TO LIVE WITH ROACHES? AND YOUR HOUSE IS WOULD YOU PAY TO THE $2500 A MONTH FOR ROACHES WOULD YOU PAY TO $2500 A MONTH FOR DEFERRED MAINTENANCE? I DON'T THINK YOU WOULD. SO ALL I ASK IS REALLY THINK THIS THROUGH BEFORE YOU GUYS SIGN OFF ON IT BECAUSE COMING FROM A GUY THAT LITERALLY JUST HAPPENED TO BE ON A FLIGHT DOWN TO TAMPA TO GO LOOK AT THESE TYPE OF HOUSES. I GOT A TASTE OF WHAT THEY'RE ABOUT, AND I'M TELLING YOU, IT'S NOT WHAT THIS TOWN NEEDS. THANK YOU. THANKS FOR ME. SO THIS TIME WE'LL TAKE A 10 MINUTES BREAK SO AT THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO CALL THE SESSION AGAIN TO ORDER AND WE ARE MOVING ON TO THE NEXT PRESENTERS. SO I AM. THANK YOU. IS THAT YOU? OR IS THAT ME? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. MY NAME IS AMY

[02:00:05]

GIGANTIC MIDDLE SCHOOL HAS 840 CURRENTLY WE ADD 80 MORE STUDENTS TO 920. AND I WAS GENEROUS AND I SPLIT IT BETWEEN THE STEM SCHOOL AND THE HIGH SCHOOL AND YOU CAN SEE THOSE NUMBERS THERE. CONCERNS OF MARYSVILLE CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT WITHOUT ADDING THE P U D GUESS WHAT? EVERYBODY THE LEVEE FAILED , THE VOTERS VOTED IT DOWN. THEY HAVE SPOKEN AND THEY ARE NOT HAPPY WITH WHAT'S GOING ON WITH MARYSVILLE SCHOOLS. AND UNFORTUNATELY, CITY COUNCIL ALSO THEY HAVE SPOKEN MANY OF OUR SCHOOLS PER SCHOOL DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVES ARE DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO CAPACITY RIGHT NOW. THAT IS NOT ADDING THE 240 STUDENTS THAT THIS PUDU IS GOING TO BRING EDGEWOOD ELEMENTARY WAS AT CAPACITY AND THEY SPENT $5 MILLION FROM THEIR PERMANENT IMPROVEMENT FUND TO CONVERT THEIR OFFICE SPACE TO CLASSROOMS AND THEN TO RENOVATE THE HOPE CENTER. WE ARE IN TROUBLE IN THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE. WE HAVE ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENTS GOING IN . THAT DOESN'T EVEN REFLECT WHAT THIS ONE DEVELOPMENT WILL DO. AND I'M GOING TO GO OFF SCRIPT HERE FOR THE LAST EIGHT YEARS. I AM A ST JOHN'S PERSON. MY DAUGHTER HAS GONE TO ST JOHN'S.

I WAS VICE PRESIDENT OF THEIR P T. A MY HUSBAND WAS A COACH AND WE WERE ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE TO VOLUNTEER. I ADMIRE ALL OF THE ST JOHN'S MEN AND FAMILIES THAT ARE HERE TONIGHT. MY CAR CURRENTLY HAS A ST JOHN'S MAGNET ON THE BACK, BUT WE CANNOT SACRIFICE ONE SCHOOL FOR ANOTHER. THAT PROPERTY HAS NEVER BEEN ON THE OPEN MARKET. WE DO NOT KNOW IF IT WOULD ACTUALLY SELL TO A DEVELOPER AND MAINTAIN THE ONE ACRE PER HOME. AND FINALLY. LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS THYSELF. IF THIS WOULD NOT GO IN NEXT TO THEIR DAUGHTERS, PROPERTIES OR THEIR HOMES OR THEIR FAMILY COMPOUNDS, WHY SHOULD IT GO IN ACROSS THE STREET FROM MINE? THANK YOU.

HMM. THANK YOU, MISS. PARDON? I APPRECIATE IT. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS EMILY ADAMS AND I LIVE AT 6 16 LEVERAGE DRIVE IN MARYSVILLE. MOST OF WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN DOWN HERE HAS BEEN COVERED. THERE'S JUST ONE THING THAT I WANTED TO GO ONTO THAT IS NOT BEEN COVERED. IT HAS TO DO

[02:05:06]

ESPECIALLY WHEN I SEE THE REMNANTS OF THE PUMPS AND I HAVE A PICTURE OF IT IF YOU'D BE WILLING TO SHOW IT. THAT ARE STILL SITTING ALONGSIDE OF THE RETENTION POND THAT'S BEHIND MY HOUSE. SO WHILE SHE'S BRINGING THAT UP, I'LL GO AHEAD AND KEEP GOING, SO THE REMNANTS ARE STILL THERE. AND IF YOU GO OVER BY ADINA ADINA POINT, THERE ARE STILL REMNANTS OF THEIR PUMP THAT HAVE BEEN PULLED OUT. SO I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S PERMANENTLY FIXED. IF THE PUMPS ARE STILL LAYING THERE WAITING TO SEE IF THEY'RE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE REUSED OR NOT. SO UM, I'M CONCERNED THAT WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO SEE FLOODING PROBLEMS. I'M SO CONCERNED ABOUT IT. EVEN THOUGH MY HOUSE IS ONLY FIVE YEARS OLD. I WENT AHEAD AND REPLACED MY SON PUMP JUST MAKING SURE I EVEN ADDED AN APP ON MY PHONE SO THAT I CAN SEE WHETHER OR NOT I'M GOING TO HAVE BACKUP THAT'S GOING TO END UP IN MY BASEMENT THAT I JUST FINISHED NOT TOO LONG AGO. THE SECOND PART I WANTED TO BRING UP WAS ABOUT THE P U T. I KNOW THAT EVERYONE'S BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT. BUT THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT IN MY OPINION, THIS IS NOT A P U D ACCORDING TO FORBES THE DEFINITION OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A P U D OR A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT ARE AS FOLLOWS THE UNIT OWNERS, WHICH ARE THE HOMEOWNERS ON BOTH THEIR RESIDENTS, AND THEY OWN THE LAND. AND H O A OWNS AND MAINTAINS COMMON AMENITIES THAT ALL UNITS MADE ALL UNIT OWNERS MAY USE THE HOMEOWNERS MEMBERSHIP IN THE H O. A IS MANDATORY. THE H O A IS RUN BY A BOARD OF DIRECTORS, WHICH IS USUALLY MADE UP OF INDIVIDUALS THAT LIVE IN THE COMMUNITY. THE HOMEOWNER MUST PAY DUES AND ASSESSMENTS LEVIED BY THE ASSOCIATION TO MAINTAIN THE COMMON AMENITIES. THE P U. D IS AN INTERACTIVE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT CONTAINS A MIXTURE OF HOUSING, OFFICE BUILDINGS, SHOPPING AND RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES. WHY WEAVER WEAVER MILK FARMS IS NOT A P U. D IS THAT IT DOES NOT MEAN ANY OF THESE CHARACTERS CHARACTERISTICS THAT I'VE LISTED ABOVE THE CLOSEST COMMERCIAL PROPERTY IS OVER TWO MILES AWAY. THE H O IS NOT BEING IMPLEMENTED IN THE PLAN PROVIDED BY THE INVESTOR. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT WILL BE ACTING AS THEIR OWN. H O A. TO ME. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AND WE LEAVE CODE ENFORCEMENT, THE ONE CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER THAT WE HAVE IN MARYSVILLE TO ACTUALLY ENFORCE THE RULES. FINALLY I DON'T FEEL THAT THE PLAN THE MH HAS PROPOSED IS IN LINE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POSTED ON THE MAYOR'S WILL WEBSITE. WE'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THE SCHOOLS. WE'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THE TRAFFIC, SO I'M GOING TO LEAVE THAT PART OUT. WE'VE EVEN TALKED ABOUT THE AFFORDABILITY OF THE RENTS.

THESE FAMILIES THAT WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PURCHASE A HOME AND NOW WE HAVE TO LIVE IN A RENTED HOME. WE'VE ALL TALKED ABOUT THAT SHE TOUCHED ON THE SCHOOLS AND THE AND THE WAY THAT THE SCHOOLS ARE GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, CROWDED THE TRAFFIC. I'M JUST ASKING THAT THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS STRESSED THAT IT KEEPS THE RESIDENTS YOU HAVE AND ATTRACTS NEW WITH THIS . P U D. I BELIEVE YOU WILL SEE RESIDENTS BEGIN TO LEAVE THE BEAUTIFUL NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WE CURRENTLY RESIDE IN. PLEASE DO NOT APPROVE THIS DECISION. IT WILL HAVE LASTING EFFECTS ON THE COMMUNITY IN WHICH WE LIVE. THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU. EMILY APPRECIATE IT. ANYBODY ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO MAKES FURTHER COMMENTS OR OBSERVATIONS FOR TONIGHT? OKAY SINCE THIS IS HEARING YOUR CITIZENS, THE KIND OF WENT OUT OF SYNC. USUALLY WE HAVE ADMINISTRATION COUNCIL AND THEN WE HEAR FROM THE CITIZENS TONIGHT. WE PURPOSELY GAVE YOU ALL THE CHANCE FIRST. UM SO NOW WE GO BACK TO, UM, THE ADMINISTRATION TO SEE IF YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS AND THEN COUNCIL IS FREE TO SPEAK ON IT AS WELL. PERFECT THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT. JUST JUST A QUICK NOTE. FIRST OFF FANTASTIC INPUT TONIGHT. THE INPUT TONIGHT. I THINK AARON CARPENTER SAID IT A FEW MINUTES AGO. THIS IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT. YOU KNOW, GIVING EVERYBODY THIS IS WHAT THE PROCESS IS ALL ABOUT. AND I HOPE EVERYBODY REALIZES THAT THAT WHEN WE HAVE DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE INTERESTED IN COMING TO OUR COMMUNITY, AND POTENTIALLY OBTAINING PROPERTY AND DOING A DEVELOPMENT. HMM. WE AREN'T RECRUITING THEM. THEY ARE COMING HERE AND GOING THROUGH A PROCESS

[02:10:06]

CAME TO CITY COUNCIL AND CITY COUNCIL IS HEARING YOU AND THEN WE'LL MAKE THEIR DECISION. YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT TO YOU KNOW, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANS BEEN BROUGHT UP A FEW TIMES TONIGHT, AND I REALLY I APPRECIATE THAT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS A GOOD DOCUMENT. I THINK WE'RE NEARING THE POINT IN TIME WHERE WE MAY NEED TO UPDATE IT. BUT IT'S A SOLID DOCUMENT. WE HAD A LOT OF COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS INVOLVED IN THE CREATION OF THAT DOCUMENT . ALSO, WE'VE GOT A GOOD ZONING CODE IN PLACE, AND WE'VE RECENTLY UPDATED IT AS WELL. AND OF COURSE, THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE HERE FOR THE NIGHT PRIMARILY THE REQUEST BEFORE CITY COUNCIL IS A REZONING OF THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY. SO ALL I WANT TO MAKE SURE ALL OF YOU UNDERSTAND, AS AS PEOPLE CONSIDER COMING TO MARYSVILLE FOR WHATEVER IT MAY BE, WHETHER IT'S A BUSINESS WHETHER IT'S RESIDENTIAL HOUSING , WHETHER IT'S MULTI FAMILY HOUSING IF THEY FALL IN AND FIT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND IN CASES UNLIKE THIS ONE, THEY MEET THE ZONING CODE. OFTEN TIMES IT WILL PROCEED. YOU KNOW, I'M I'M NOT ONE TO SIT HERE. I'LL GIVE GIVE AN EXAMPLE. I KNOW. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT A LITTLE BIT. YOU KNOW, DID WE NEED A THIRD MCDONALD'S? I DON'T KNOW. MAYBE NOT, HOWEVER, FOR WHATEVER REASON, MCDONALD'S AND THE OWNER OF MCDONALD'S FELT LIKE IT WAS APPROPRIATE. AND BECAUSE OF THE BUSINESS, THOSE OTHER TWO MCDONALD'S WE'RE DOING. THEY FELT COMFORTABLE OPENING THIS ONE UP AS WELL AND INVESTING THE KIND OF DOLLARS THE EXTENSIVE DOLLARS IT TAKES TO PUT THAT IN . SO ALL I ALL I WANT TO SAY TONIGHT IS IT? SOME OF YOU SEEMED UPSET. BUT DON'T BE UPSET . IT'S A PROCESS AND THIS IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT. AND I JUST WANTED EVERYBODY TO BE AWARE OF THAT. AND WE LOVE YOUR INPUT. AND THERE THERE'S GONNA BE OTHER STUFF BECAUSE THIS IS THIS COMMUNITY PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN BEING HERE. IT JUST IS WHAT IT IS. AND I HAD A MEETING BEFORE I CAME HERE TONIGHT WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD. AND TALKING ABOUT STUFF LIKE THIS, SO AND WE ARE COORDINATING WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD. WE'VE WORKED VERY HARD OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS TO DO THAT, BUT I JUST THAT'S MY ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS COUNSEL COUNSEL AS A DECISION TO MAKE IN YOUR INPUTS, BUT INVALUABLE TOWARD MAKING THAT DECISION. AND THAT'S ALL I HAD, MR. PRESIDENT OKAY. THANK YOU. MR EMERY. APPRECIATED UM, LET'S START ON THE LEFT SIDE TODAY WITH MR CARPENTER SPOT, HANK. I'M KIDDING. I'M HAPPY TO START. UM, I WOULD LIKE THE FIRST SAY UM, I WAS THREE WEEKS AGO. I WAS ON VACATION. I HAVE SINCE CAUGHT UP. UP TO SPEED WITH EVERYTHING, AND I'M HERE TONIGHT, EVERYONE I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR, UM SPEAKING, I TOOK NOTES. ABOUT LITERALLY EVERYONE WHO SPOKE, I TOOK NOTES ABOUT WHERE YOUR CONCERNS WERE. I LISTENED TO YOU. UM SO BEFORE I ACTUALLY GET MY REMARKS, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU TO MR ROUSH. UM MRS KELLY. J. C MR MR. NOTES TEAM. I HOPE I SAID THAT CORRECTLY. MR SCHEIDER, MR RUSSELL. MR TABOR, MR LEVICK. MR DOVER. UM THE FOLKS FROM THE AIRPORT. I DIDN'T CATCH YOUR NAME. I'M SORRY, BUT I WROTE AIRPORT YOU WERE WITH THE AIRPORT, MRS TABER. MRS POTTER GRIM, MRS ADAMS. MRS MONTGOMERY, MR. HAMPTON, MR HARRISON. THIS IS HANDSOME. MR HAASS TRICK. SENATOR. BLESSING MISS MISS BERGDORF. REMEMBER FROM FOUR YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS CAMPAIGNING ON NORTH WOODS, I REMEMBER WHERE YOUR HOUSE IS. MRS ASHER BROWN. MR. SPRINGER, MR CLERK. MR YOU FINGER, MR HYLER, AND THIS IS THE USER WHO I THINK LEFT AT THIS POINT, BUT SHE IS IN MY WORD. I JUST WANNA THANK YOU FOR LETTING US KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THINGS. UM, AND RELATIVELY NEWER. TO THIS COUNCIL AND I'LL TELL YOU, IN MY OPINION, MY MOST IMPORTANT THING. MY MOST IMPORTANT JOB IS TO REPRESENT THE PEOPLE WHO ELECTED ME. THAT'S THE ONLY REALLY THE MAIN THING THAT I CARE ABOUT. AT THE END OF THE DAY. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I DO THAT CORRECTLY. AND IN THIS CASE, IT IS GLARINGLY OBVIOUS THAT THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN IN ONE DIRECTION, AND MY JOB IS TO LISTEN TO YOU. AND I'LL TELL YOU I'M GOING TO VOTE NOW ON THIS. OKAY I PLAN TO VOTE NO IN TWO

[02:15:07]

I MEAN, I COULD GO THROUGH A WHOLE LIST HERE, BUT I REPRESENT THE CITY BUT SPECIFICALLY REPRESENT WARD ONE, AND I'LL TELL YOU THAT THE BIGGEST PROBLEM THAT WORD ONE HAS IS THERE ARE PROPERTIES CURRENTLY IN MY WARD THAT ARE OWNED BY THIS DEVELOPER. AND THE STATUS OF THESE PROPERTIES. MY WORD WILL TELL YOU IS NOT PLEASING TO MOST PEOPLE. SO IF I WERE TO VOTE YES, WHO WOULD ESSENTIALLY BE ACCEPTING MORE OF THE SAME INTO THE CITY, WHICH I CAN'T DO, AND I WON'T DO. I WILL NOT DO THAT. SO I HOPE THAT THIS IS TRANSPARENT. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW I'M MY OPINION OF WHAT MY JOB IS TO REPRESENT PEOPLE AND THAT IS SINCERELY WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO HERE. I THINK THE PUBLIC HAS DONE A GOOD JOB OF ORGANIZING AND EXPLAINING THEIR CONCERNS. AND AS YOUR REPRESENTATIVE. IT'S MY JOB TO HEAR YOU AND ACT ON THAT. SO THAT THAT'S WHAT I PLAN TO DO. UM THAT'S WHERE I STAND. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'M HAPPY TO MEET WITH YOU AND EXPLAIN THINGS FURTHER. BUT THAT'S WHERE I'M AT. THAT'S WHERE I'LL BE IN TWO WEEKS. THAT'S WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM ME. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR CARPENTER. MR ROCHE, I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO, UH, THANK EVERYBODY THAT HAS COME OUT, YOU KNOW? FOR LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIALS. LAND USE DECISIONS ARE THE TOUGHEST BECAUSE IT'S YOUR NEIGHBORS, YOUR FRIENDS.

AND. WE'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH IT A LOT HERE LATELY, AND WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO GO THROUGH IT. UM SO. I APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE. I APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS. I WILL TAKE THEM UNDER ADVISEMENT AND PROBABLY MAKE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A OF A SPEECH AT THE NEXT MEETING. THANK YOU.

QUOTE TO IT. OKAY MR BERGER. I JUST WANTED TO SAY ALSO THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT AND VOICING YOUR CONCERNS. MY ONLY WISH IS THIS. THIS THIS ROOM WAS FILLED AT EVERY CITY COUNCIL MEETING WITH CONCERNS OF RESIDENTS. IT'S MY RE ELECTION YEAR, SO I'M NOT GOING TO HIDE THE FACT THAT I AM TRYING TO GET REELECTED. BUT I WILL SAY THIS IN 2016. I RAN ON SUSTAINABLE GROWTH, PRESERVATION AND PROTECTION OF MIRRORS ONE'S IDENTITY. EVERYONE THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY. BECAUSE THEY SAID, DONALD MARISSA WANTS TO GROW WHILE YOU SAYING WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO HOLD IT BACK? BECAUSE THAT WAS THE MIND TO EVERYONE THOUGHT THAT IF YOU'RE WANTING TO PROTECT THE SMALL TOWN, YOUR ANTI GROWTH AND THAT'S NOT IT AT ALL. WELL, I LOST BY EIGHT VOTES. SO I RAN IN 2019 AND I WON WITH OVER 60% OF MY WARD. I'VE BEEN REDISTRICT PLUS COVID . PLUS EVERYBODY'S FRUSTRATED WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENING IN THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE. BUT WHAT YOU ALL HAVE PROVEN, IS THIS WHAT I SAY ON PUBLIC RECORD EVERY DAY FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS IS THE SAME ONE. EVERY RESIDENT IN THIS COMMUNITY WANTS THE ISSUE IS IF YOU WANT OLD HOMES PROTECTED. YOU HAVE TO COME TO THIS MEETING AND ADVOCATED. IF YOU WANT OPEN SPACE PROTECTED. YOU HAVE TO COME HERE AND ADVOCATED. IF YOU DO NOT WANT A THIRD MCDONALD'S, YOU HAVEING CODE. THE ONLY WAY THAT HAPPENS IS IF YOU DEMAND US TO DO SOMETHING. SHEETS WAS BROUGHT UP SHEETS DOES NOT FIT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. BUT IT ONLY SATISFIED THE ZONING CODE BECAUSE IT WAS A CONDITIONAL USE. SO ALL I'M SO ALL I'M SAYING IS, IS THAT THESE ISSUES THAT YOU BRING UP AND OTHER ISSUES THAT YOU HAVE BROUGHT UP IN THIS MEETING ARE VALID POINTS AND I DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO WALK AWAY FROM THIS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE TABLE. I GRADUATED AS AN EIGHTH GRADER FROM ST JOHN'S CHURCH. MY FAMILY IS AS OLD AS THE DIRT THAT SURROUNDS THAT CEMETERY. BUT ALL ALL I WANT YOU GUYS TO KNOW IS CONTINUE TO BE INVOLVED. YOU MAKE VALID POINTS AND YOU'RE EDUCATED RESIDENTS. THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE WE WANT IN THIS COMMUNITY. SO NEVER LOSE

[02:20:06]

THE INTELLIGENCE AND ORGANIZATION. THE KINDNESS OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SHOWN UP AND APPROPRIATELY EXPRESSED COGENT POINTS WELL PUT TOGETHER. I'M ESPECIALLY APPRECIATIVE NOT ONLY OF YOUR COMMUNICATION TONIGHT BECAUSE I AGREE WITH EVERYBODY UP HERE. WE WISH IT WERE EVERY COUNCIL MEETING. BUT THAT'S OKAY . YOU IF YOU HAVE ITEMS ABOUT WHICH YOU'RE PASSIONATE THEN, OF COURSE, THOSE ARE GOING TO BE THE ONES TO GET YOUR ENERGY. BUT I HAVE BEEN A SPECIALLY APPRECIATED NOT ONLY OF YOUR COMMUNICATION TONIGHT. BUT JUST AS IMPORTANTLY, YOUR PRIVATE COMMUNICATIONS WITH ME EMAILS, TELEPHONE CALLS, YOU KNOW I WON'T DO SOCIAL MEDIA, BUT I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU EMAILS, TELEPHONE CALLS TO ME. THAT'S VERY REAL.

THANKS.

MR SEYMOUR. WELL I DON'T HAVE A SPEECH. THIS TIME I DAVID AT THE FIRST READING AND I THINK MOST OF YOU I HOPE ALL OF YOU KNOW MY POSITION ON THIS AND THE CONCERNS THAT I HAVE WITH REGARD TO THE PROJECT, SO I DON'T HAVE MUCH MORE TO SAY OTHER THAN OF ALL THE TIME I'VE BEEN IN A CHAIR LIKE THIS. AND HAD AUDIENCES LIKE THIS. I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER SEEN A MORE RESPECTFUL AND COURTEOUS CROWD THAN WHAT WE'RE WITNESSING TONIGHT AND HAVE EXPRESSED THAT TO A FEW OF YOU ALREADY. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR BEHAVIOR. THANK YOU. VERY COMMENTS. YOU EXPRESSED SCHOOLS, YOU EXPRESS DENSITY. YOU EXPRESS DIVERSITY. YOU EXPRESSED TRAFFIC. YOU EXPRESSED WATER. WE'VE HEARD IT ALL. AND YOU'VE DONE A GOOD JOB EXPRESSING ALL. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING OUT SHOWING OUT UP IN FORCE. AND EXPRESSING YOUR VIEWS AND TRUST US. WE WILL TAKE THOSE VIEWS TO HEART. OKAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SO I GET TOO CLOSE TO COMMENTS AND AGAIN , I DO ECHO THE COMMENTS FROM MR EMILY AS WELL AS EVERY ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES UP HERE ABOUT THE CIVILITY ABOUT THE WAY THAT YOU EXPRESSED YOUR CONCERNS. IN THE DIRECT WAY FROM A DECISION POINT . EVERY ACTION HAS A REACTION. YEAH AND WE NOW HAVE TWO WEEKS HAS COUNCIL TO DECIDE. YEAH IF HE DECIDES TO MOVE FORWARD, WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT PICTURE IF HE DECIDED IT'S NOT IN THE BEST INTEREST TO DO THE REZONING. WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT AS WELL. SO WHEN WE FIRST WENT ON THIS JOURNEY THREE WEEKS AGO, WE SAID , WE HAVE THE BUILDER, GIVING THEM A FEW POINTS. THEN WE HAVE THE CITIZENS THAT WE NEED TO HEAR FROM. AND WE'VE WE'VE HEARD FROM YOU VERY WELL TONIGHT AND ON AUGUST 28TH. I'M SURE THERE MIGHT BE A FEW. UM I DON'T WANT TO CALL IT SLEEPLESS NIGHTS, BUT EVENINGS THAT WE DO LOOK IN THE BIG BOOK THAT WE HAVE RELATED TO ZONING AND OTHER DECISIONS THAT WE NEED TO MAKE, BUT THERE WILL BE A DECISION PRESENTED TO YOU ON AUGUST 28TH. SO AGAIN, WE APPRECIATE YOU COMING IN THIS TOPIC. YEAH YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME. THIS DAY. WE HAVE THREE MORE ITEMS OF BUSINESS IS NOT GOING TO TAKE TOO LONG.

[COMMENTS OF THE CITY MANAGER AND COUNCIL PERSONS AND GENERAL DISCUSSION]

LET ME JUST SAY ONE THING IN THE ORGANIZATION AND THE PLANNING FOR THIS. YOU HAVE NO IDEA THE AMOUNT OF PLANNING AND PREPARATION THAT ERIC PHILLIPS GOES THROUGH. TO COORDINATE EACH ONE OF THESE ITEMS. IT'S OFF THE CHARTS. IF YOU SAW THE PLANNING DOCUMENTS THAT WE HAVE, AND I KNOW, THANK YOU THAT AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE IT FIRSTHAND AS WE'VE HAD MONTHLY MEETINGS LEADING UP TO THIS, BUT I JUST WANT TO THANK ERIC FOR THE AMOUNT OF WORK HE PUTS IN. IN COORDINATING AND BUILDING UPON SOME OF THESE RELATIONSHIPS THAT WE HAVE WITH THE EXCHANGE PROGRAM. THE MISSION TRIP THE GRASSROOTS SALIT, UH, PEOPLE AROUND THE CLUB AND COLUMNIST REGION. ASKED TO REACH OUT TO ERIC TO HELP COORDINATE THEIR PLANS BECAUSE THERE'S OTHER ENTITIES IN THE COLUMBUS REGION THAT ARE LIKE GOING FOR MAYBE THE FIRST TIME RIGHT NOW, OR CERTAIN PEOPLE GOING FOR THE FIRST TIME AND ERIC'S PROVIDING INPUT TO THEM, SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR. I MEAN, IT'S OFF. IT'S OFF THE CHARTS. BUT I'LL BE GLAD WHEN IT'S WHEN IT'S PROBABLY DONE SO WE CAN. YEAH I BET YOU CAN. BUT THAT'S IT. MR PRESIDENT. I JUST WANTED IT'S BEEN A LOT OF WORK GOING ON WITH THIS, SO THANK YOU. OKAY AND THEN I GO TO THE RIGHT FOR FINAL COMMENTS FROM MR SEYMOUR. EXHAUSTED HMM. ONTO EXECUTIVE SETTING EFFECTS. OKAY, ALREADY.

OKAY MRS. CODES. UNLIKE MR SEYMOUR ON TAKE TWO OR THREE HOURS TO CALM DOWN. OKAY, THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN EXTROVERT AND INTROVERT. YOU KNOW, I GO HOME PUMPED AND YOU KNOW THAT OTHER PEOPLE DON'T UM NOTHING. NO FURTHER COMMENTS. THANK YOU, OKAY? HMM STILL. YEAH MR. BERGER ONLY COMMENT I'LL MAKE TONIGHT IS THAT SCHOOL STARTING SO JUST BE CAREFUL CROSSING THE STREETS BECAUSE WE GET OUT OF THAT ROUTINE. AND THEN YOU START SEEING BOSS. HMM COMMENTS THOSE ARE REFERRED TO AS THE YELLOW LIMOUSINES. OKAY MR WELCH. I WAS GONNA HIT THAT

[02:30:06]

SO ANYWAY, I'LL KEEP MY COMMENTS SHORT. UM LET'S SEE. I LIKE TO GIVE KUDOS TO MRS POTTER, WHO I BELIEVE LEFT ALREADY. BUT WHAT SHE'S DONE IS ORGANIZED A LOT OF PEOPLE FOR A CAUSE. AND I JUST, YOU KNOW, POLITICS ASIDE. I ADMIRE THAT THAT WE HAVE A HUMAN WHO WENT THROUGH AND PRACTICED CIVIL GOVERNMENT, YOU KNOW, AND ORGANIZING WELL WELL WITHIN HER RIGHTS TO ORGANIZED PEOPLE TO SIGN HER PETITION. AND I JUST WANTED TO COMMEND HER FOR THAT, BECAUSE YOU KNOW I HAVE DONE ACTIVISM WORK MYSELF, AND IT'S NOT EASY TO PROBABLY THINK LISTENING TO DO. SO KUDOS FOR HER AND ANYONE WHO WAS INVOLVED IN AND THAT CIVIC, UM, ACTIVITY HERE IN MARYSVILLE. I'D LIKE TO ALSO GIVE KUDOS FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE RESERVOIR CONNECTOR BRIDGE, SO CITY STAFF AND TEAM WHEN I WAS CIRCULATING MY PETITION, I GOT TO MEET A FEW OF THE CONSTRUCTION WORKERS WHO WERE, UM, INSTALLING THE BRIDGE. IT WASN'T ACTUALLY THE BRIDGE. IT WAS THE TOTALLY PORTION. WHAT'S IT CALLED? THE BOARDWALK TO THE BRIDGE. UM GREAT GUYS MOTIVATED TO DO THE PROJECT. SO KUDOS TO EVERYONE INVOLVED THERE. UM, I'D LIKE TO CONGRATULATE CHIEF RILEY AND HIS RETIREMENT. UM CONGRATS ON A LIFETIME OF SERVICE. AND LASTLY, I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE KUDOS TO ERIC AND OUR CITY STAFF WHO IS INVOLVED IN THE MARYSVILLE JAPAN EXCHANGE PROGRAM. I WAS AWARE OF THAT. I THINK WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL GOING ON, AND TO SEE HOW IT'S GROWN SINCE THEN, IS REMARKABLE . SO GOOD. YOU ALL ON THAT. UM I COULD SAY MORE ABOUT THE ZONING , BUT I'LL STOP. THERE WERE ALL TIRED. SO THANK YOU ALREADY. UM WOULD YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE THE VIDEO THE PICTURE THAT WE COULD PUT UP? OKAY I DON'T WANT TO ADD MORE. MORE CORE BELABOR SOMETHING, BUT, UM, USUALLY WE GET THIS PRESENTED ALREADY IN MARCH OR APRIL AND STAFF, UM HAD , OF COURSE, PLENTY ON THEIR PLATE. BUT IN ADDITION TO THAT THEY WANTED TO HAVE THE FINAL NUMBERS AND SO AS SOON AS IT'S AVAILABLE SO THIS IS THIS IS OUR CURRENT STATE OF, UM UM. THE DWELLINGS THAT WE HAVE SET UP. AND AS YOU REMEMBER, WE DO THIS EVERY YEAR. SO WHEN IT COMES TO THE TOTAL LOTS OR UNITS, AS YOU COULD SEE IN THE RIGHT HAND, A SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT CONSTRUCTION AVAILABLE IS ABOUT 270. AND MULTI DEVELOPMENT CONSTRUCTION AVAILABLE IS 11 SO TOTAL CONSTRUCTION AVAILABLE IS THROUGH 81. AND THEN SINGLE FAMILY. PENDING CONSTRUCTION IS 547. AND THE MULTIFAMILY PENDING CONSTRUCTION IS 475. MULTI FAMILY. I'M SORRY, SO THE TOTAL PENDING CONSTRUCTION UNITS FOR THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE ARE CURRENTLY 2022. YEAH OBVIOUSLY, IF YOU LOOK AT SOME OF THE DIFFERENT AREAS, MOST LIKELY THE MULTI FAMILIES WILL BE THE QUICKEST WANTS TO GO UP. IT NORMALLY TAKES ABOUT A YEAR TO YEAR AND A HALF. WE'VE STARTED NEXT TO WALMART. THERE IS ONE THAT'S GOING TO GO UP CLOSE TO HOLD AN ANNOYING ON THE SIDE OF PROBABLY THE SOUTH SIDE OF MILL VALLEY. YEAH AND THEN WE GO TO THE VARIOUS OUTLETS, THE ONE THAT COSTS FROM BUNS HOLD THE ONE THAT COSTS FROM ON WELL 31 BECAUSE FROM MILBURY SO YOU COULD SEE ALL THE DIFFERENT ONES . MIND YOU. THIS DOES NOT YET INCLUDE THE UM, MAYBE 600 TIMES FOR STILL BORDER. YEAH THAT'S NOT THAT'S STILL GOING TO BE DECIDED ON. AND OF COURSE WE TONIGHT. WE DID TALK ABOUT, UM, WE'VE MILLS, WHICH COULD BE AN ADDITIONAL 300. SO THAT COULD

[02:35:04]

ESPECIALLY FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THE UM SERVICE INDUSTRY, AND THAT'S WHERE THE MULTIFAMILY EVEN THOUGH HISTORICALLY I'M NOT A BIG FAN OF IT AS MANY AS WILL CONTINUE TO CHANGE AND THE NEED FOR HOUSING CONTINUES TO CHANGE. IT IS AN INEVITABLE THAT THERE ARE ONE BEDROOMS AND THE ONE BEDROOMS. YEAH THAT MAKES IT A REASONABLE PRICE. YEAH HOWEVER, THAT DOES NOT ADD TO. UM TOO MANY CHILDREN ONTO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. IT'S ONLY WHEN YOU HAVE THE TWO OR THREE BEDROOMS IN A MULTIFAMILY. YOU KNOW THAT AT POPULATION TO THE SCHOOLS SO AGAIN, WE NEED TO HAVE HOUSING AVAILABLE. UM BECAUSE RECENTLY BE APPROVED THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY TO THE COMPANY CALLED EASE, EASE, UM, HAS AWAITS POINT OF ABOUT 50,000 PER YEAR. AND THAT FALLS OUT OF THE, UM, SINGLE FAMILY CATEGORY BECAUSE THOSE HOUSES ARE TO PACE TOO EXPENSIVE FOR THAT TYPE OF INCOME. SO AGAIN, THE MIXTURE THAT WE HAVE AT THE MOMENT YEAH . UM THE OTHER THING, OF COURSE , THAT WE DO NEED TO KEEP IN MIND THAT CURRENTLY USED THE SHOW. 2022 THAT POTENTIALLY CAN BE BUILT WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR 3000, BUT IT'S GOING TO TAKE AT LEAST, UM, ANYWHERE FROM TWO YEARS TO 89 YEARS BEFORE YOU GET IT ON COMPLETION, EVEN IF YOU LOOK TODAY AT THE DANA POINT THAT STARTED A LONG TIME AGO AND THERE ARE STILL 60 LOTS AVAILABLE. YES SO IT DOES NOT BUILD OUT WITHIN ONE OR TWO YEARS, SO IT'S GOING TO TAKE A WHILE BEFORE ALL OF THOSE DIFFERENT AREAS ARE BUILDING OUT , BUT WE INGEST THE CURRENT POINT THAT WE HAVE WE ALREADY LOOKING AT BUILDING BETWEEN TWO AND MAYBE 3000 HOMES WITHIN THE NEXT 5 TO 10 YEARS. YEAH WHICH FOR THE ENCASED IN LABOR FORCE THAT WE HAVE, AND THEN MAYBE A SMALLER SURROUNDING OF MARYSVILLE. I DON'T WANT TO. I KNOW THAT. THAT I A LOT OF JOB REQUEST IN A 10, MILE 80 ASUS. I IF I IF I SAY MAYBE 5 TO 7000, BUT AGAIN, IT MAY NOT MEAN THAT THOSE JOBS MAKE ENOUGH MONEY FOR PEOPLE TO MOVE TO MANAGE VILLE. SO BASICALLY, THAT'S THE STATUS THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE. WE WILL IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE HAVE HOUSING AVAILABLE. OR THE WORKFORCE THAT'S COMING TO MARYSVILLE, AND WE'LL HAVE LOTS AND POTENTIAL HOUSING AVAILABLE FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE ON THE HIGHER END OF INCOME. SO THIS IS THE LATEST AND THIS IS THE ANNUAL UPDATE THAT YOU GET FROM STAFF AS FAR AS OUR HOUSING SITUATION LOOKS FOR THE FUTURE. OKAY WITH THAT, UM, THAT'S ALL

[02:40:02]
