MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, I'' M KEN SPALDING REPRESENT THE APPLICANTS IN THIS MATTER. AS YOU REMEMBER, WE DID HAVE AN EXHAUSTIVE DISCUSSION AT THE LAST PLEAT K AND THIS WAS DEFERRED IF FOR United States TO BE ABLE TO HEAR AND HAVE THE POLITICAL THE PROFESSIONAL OF THE BUDGET-FRIENDLY HOUSING BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THEIR RECORD WHICH THEY HAVE DONE. AS YOU KNOW, THE CITY HAS NOT ENACT AED YET THE REAL POLICY, STANDARDS AND TOOLS THAT WILL BE USED FORTH, HOWEVER, WHAT OUR PROGRAMMER HAS DONE IS THAT IN OUR INITIATIVE TO ENSURE WE MEET THE PLAN FUNCTION I BELIEVE THE RESOLUTION THE GOAL YOU ALL MADE REGARDING INEXPENSIVE REAL ESTATE, WE INTENDED TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT WE, OURSELVES WAS STEP IN THAT DIRECTION AND WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING. WE H WILL SET A PRECEDENT FOR DURHAM FOR PRIVATE DEVELOPERS ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING.NOT ONLY THAT
, WE ARE BEING PROACTIVE IN REGARD TO LAYOUT DISTRICT STANDARDS. WE'' RE BEING PROACTIVE IN RELATION TO PRODUCTION SURE THAT WE HAVE MET AND H WILL CERTAINLY REMAIN TO SATISFY ALL THE CONSISTENT AND BE CONSISTENT WITH THE UDOT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT ALL OF OUR POLICIES, REGULATIONS, regulations and ordinances ARE THE CITY OF DURHAM. ALSO WE ARE FOLLOWING THE LITE RAIL TRANSPORTATION CONSIDERATIONS. AS YOU ARE COGNIZANT, THE CITY AN COUNCIL OF DURHAM HAVE BEEN LEADERS IN RELATION TO LIGHT RAIL PRAN TRANSIT. WHEN I GOT ON THE STATE BOARD OF TRANSPORT, THAT WAS ANNISH SURE BEFORE US THEN. YOU ALL HAVE RELOCATED SUBSEQUENT TO THAT TIME TO WHERE I THINK YOU HAVE WHAT'' S CALLED A TRANSIT SALES AND USE TAX THAT WE ARE BEING TAXED ON A DAILY BASIS FOR THE FUNCTION OF BEING ABLE TO HAVE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. WE CERTAINLY FEEL THAT LIGHT RAIL IS VERY IMPORTANT. OUR STRATEGY FULFILLS THE CREDENTIALS FOR ATTENDING TO THE DEMANDS THAT LIGHT RAIL HAS. OUR STRATEGY IS ONE IN WHICH WE ARE IN FACT WHAT THE EXCLUSIVE MARKET NEEDS TO BE DOING AROUND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AREAS.I WANT TO
SAY TO UH YOU TONIGHT THAT I REALLY BELIEVE IT'' S CRUCIAL THAT WE DO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS NOT ONLY ABOUT AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE, NOT ONLY ABOUT MEETING ALL THE PLANS AND THE ORDINANCES BUT ALSO ABOUT THE TRUTH OF LIGHT RAIL. THERE IS PRESENTLY IN THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY SOME TRANSFERS TO CUT DOWN ON PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION FOR THE CITY AND REGION OF DURHAM. DURHAM HAS RELOCATED AHEAD WITH ORANGE COUNTY. DURHAM AND ORANGE REGION UH NOW HAVE BEEN HAND-IN-HAND WITH WAKE REGION AND WE E HAVE BE TAXED FOR THIS AND I ASSUME THAT IT'' S IMPORTANT THAT WE BE ABLE TO HAVE PREPARES THAT PROGRAM THE PRIVATE FIELD IS INVESTING INTO OUR LIGHT RAIL ASPECTS ALONG WITH WHAT YOU'' RE DOING OPENLY. SO I THINK THAT'' S CRUCIAL FOR United States TO CONSIDER WHEN WE HAVE A PLAN THAT MEETS EVERY NEED OF THE CITY OF DURHAM.THE TAXPAYERS ARE GOING TO BENEFIT WITH $1.7 MILLION, I ASSUME YOU HAD ACTUALLY ASKED A ABOUT ROAD RENOVATIONS PRIOR TO WHICH WE'' RE GOING TO GET THAT WE WOULD NOT HAVE HAD. THESE ARE BEING PAID FOR NOT BY THE TAXPAYERS BUT BY THE PERSONAL DESIGNER AND WE'' RE RETAINING IT A LEVEL SOLUTION OF D. WE ALSO ARE BEING ABLE TO BRING AHEAD ABOUT $150 COUNTLESS TAX OBLIGATION EARNINGS BASE, BASE, THAT WOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO G B OF SOME BENEFIT TO THE CITY AND AREA REGARDING WHAT WOULD BE DONE WITH THE VERY BEST USE OF THAT PROPERTY. PRESENTLY ABOUT NUMBER 8 IS WHERE THEY WOULD HAVE ABOUT 28 OR 29 PRIVATE RESIDENTIAL RESIDENCE THAT WOULD BE BUILT IN NEIGHBORHOOD OR RESIDENTIALLY THERE THAT THEY HAVE FROM THE PRESENT EXISTING ZONING. BELOW, WE WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE BETTER USE OF THAT PROPERTY TO BE ABLE TO HAVE IT TO SATISFY THE NEEDS OF LIGHT RAIL INSTEAD OF SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. I ADDITIONALLY WANT TO SAY THAT THE NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBORS, WE'' VE MET WITH THE NEARBY NEIGHBORS, THAT NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBORS THAT HAVE BEEN INFLUENCED THE THE MAJORITY OF ALONG WITH THOSE NEIGHBORS WHO ARE DRIVING UP AND DOWN 54 AND FARRINGTON ROADWAY WHERE WE'' RE GOING TO BOOST THAT ROAD CAPACITY AND I INTEND TO SAY THAT THE NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBORS ALL RATHER USUALLY HAVE BEEN IN SUPPORT OF THIS AFTER WE MET WITH ABOUT 50 OR 60 INDIVIDUALS AT FIRST AND THERE COULD BE EVEN BE A PERSON RIGHT HERE TONIGHT THAT HAVE MET WAS AND SPOKE WITH United States AGAIN TONIGHT AND THEY FEEL THAT WE HAVE REALLY WORKED HARD TO BE ABLE TO MEET THEIR NEEDS.WE TRANSFORMED THE
STRUCTURE SETUPS AROUND, WE'' VE ALTERED A NUMBER OF MATTERS TO BE ABLE TO MAKE IT COMPATIBLE TO THEM SINCE THEY ARE LIVING THERE AND THIS H IS IMPACTING THEM DIRECTLY. I WANT TO CONCLUDE BY SAYING THAT THIS REZONING IS TOTALLY BEST BY DURHAM'' S OBJECTIVES AND CRITERIA AND THEY HAVE A DRESSED BOTH THE OFFICE AND BLENDED USE ASPECT OF IT, THE RESIDENTIAL FACET OF IT. WE PUT AN INVESTMENT IN, IN THE ROADWAY ENHANCEMENTS, GOING TO CREATE WORK, GREAT TAX OBLIGATION BASE AND POSITIVE LIVING EXPERIENCES FOR INDIVIDUALS IN DURHAM. AGAIN, WE ARE PRECEDENT-SETTING AS ASSOCIATE WITH AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN DURHAM. WE'' RE LEADING THE WAY WHEN IT EMERGES RAIL IN DURHAM AS MUCH AS STRUCTURE AND HAVING OUR REE ZONING AND PRIVATE SECTOR INVOLVEMENT THERE. I THINK WE ARE MEETING ALL THE NEEDS OF OUR AREA. I ASSUME E THIS WOULD BE A PLUS FOR THE CITY OF DURNL, AND IT WOULD CERTAINLY SHOW THAT THE PROGRAMMERS WHO SPEND 2 YEARS COLLABORATING WITH PERSONNEL TO SHOT UH COME TO UP WITH An EXCELLENT PRODUCT THAT MEETS EVERY REQUIREMENT OF THIS CITY AND THIS COUNTY, I BELIEVE THEY WILL TELL YOU WE ARE HAVE DONE THAT.THANK YOU.
DEBORAH. >> > > GREAT EVENING. GOOD EVENING MAYOR BELL, COMMON COUNCIL MEMBERS AND TEAM. MY NAME IS DB ANDERSON, DEVELOPER WITH TIMBER PARTNERS. JOINING ME TONIGHT ARE WITH TIMBER PARTNERS GROWTH GROUP, LAWYER KEN SPALDING, AND OUR WEB TRAFFIC DESIGNER. I'' M HAPPY TO BE BELOW TONIGHT. IF YOU ' D EXPECT ME TO SAY THAT BUT I ' M PLEASED TO BE BELOW TONIGHT, I PUT ON ' T KNOW. FOR MANY YEARS AS A DEVELOPER, I ' VE LEARNED IT ' S RATHER VERY EASY TO BOND WITH THE VARIOUS RESIDENCES THAT YOU WISH TO ESTABLISH, BUT THIS REZONING BRINGS UNIQUE IMPORTANCE FOR ME AND FOR OUR TEAM.I E FIRST MET WITH THE SELLERS OF THE FARRINGTON RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY OF THE SUMMERTIME OF 2014. OVER THE MONTHS THAT COMPLIES WITH WE BUILT An EXCELLENT CONSULTING TEAM, NO LESS THAN A HALF A DOZEN OR EVEN MORE OF INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE ASSISTED United States. WE SPENT TIME MEETING AN DISCUSSING OUR PRODUCT WITH THE SURROUNDING WOODLAND ACRES NEIGHBORHOOD ALONG WITH NEIGHBORS ON SELECT SCENARIOS WHO HAVE STORM WATER CONCERNS AND THROUGHOUT THE LEIGH TOWN LOCATION. WE THEN DEALT WITH PREPARING AND TRANSPORTATION PERSONNEL AND VARIOUS OTHER DIVISIONS AND ALSO OUTSIDE COMPANIES LIKE NCDOT TO STYLE ZONING DEMAND THAT MET ALL OF THE CITY'' S TOOK ON PLANS AND PROGRAMS WHILE ALSO VOLUNTARILY TIPPING UP TO THE PORTABLE COMMUNITY TIER STYLE STANDARD.AND FOR THE PREVIOUS MANY MONTHS, UM– AND THIS IS WHAT HAS BEEN SURPRISINGLY A REALLY GOOD EXPERIENCE FOR ME AND FOR OUR COMPANY– FOR THE PAST LOTS OF MONTHS WE HAVE RELOCATED INTO A COLLECTIVE AREA WITH THE CITY AND BUDGET-FRIENDLY REAL ESTATE ADVOCATES TO LOCATE A MEANS TO DISPERSE TO THE VITAL CITY GOALS OF OFFERING AFFORDABLE UNITS. OUR DISCUSSIONS HAVE BEEN CHALLENGING BOTH MY DISCUSSIONS WITH INDIVIDUALS HERE IN DURHAM AND MY DISCUSSIONS WITH MY FIRM BASED IN ATLANTA AND WITH COMPANIONS FROM DIFFERENT COMPONENTS OF THE UNITED STATES. DISCUSSIONS HAVE BEEN CHALLENGING BUT FRUITFUL AND ULTIMATELY OUR REZONING PROPOSITION HAS IMPROVED BECAUSE OF THIS WE ' RE VOLERRING TO CREATE 20 AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE UNITS. WE CARRY THIS OUT AS An INDICATION OF GREAT BELIEF BEFORE THE CITY ' S AUTHORIZED PROGRAM AND WITHOUT THE CITY'' S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. KAREN AND I LATELY OFFERED OUR FINDINGS TO THE CITY. IN THOSE SEARCHINGS FOR SHE ASKED THE CITY TO CONSIDER THE GOAL OF DEVELOPING THREE HUNDRED NEW AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE UNITS ACROSS ALL LAYOUT DISTRICTS IN THE NEXT 5 YEARS.OUR 20 SYSTEMS WILL CERTAINLY ADD TO THIS OBJECTIVE AND OUR UNITS WILL CERTAINLY REMAIN IN PLACE AND FUNCTIONAL WITHIN OUR STATED FIVE-YEAR HORIZON. WE HAVE ALSO AGREED WITH COALITION TO MAKE An EXCELLENT FAITH INITIATIVE TO DEVELOP RATE WITH REGIONAL COMPANIES COLLABORATING WITH PERSONS REQUIRING ECONOMICAL REAL ESTATE TO ENSURE BEST POSSIBILITY OF LOCATING AND PLACING QUALIFIED HOME IN OUR UNITS. IN RECAP T LAST 20 MONTHS HAVE BEEN A JOURNEY, A JOURNEY THAT FINISHES TONIGHT. I WILL NEARBY STATING ONE MORE TIME THE MERITS OF OUR PROPOSITION. THE FARRINGTON ROAD REZONING IS A HIGH THICKNESS GROWTH, FUTURE LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT. WE HAVE DESIGNED VERTICALLY-INTEGRATED MIXED USE THAT INCLUDED URBAN FORM-BASED SENSIBLE AS SIMILAR TO THE CITY'' S DESIGN AREAS. WE'' RE COMPLETING $1.7 COUNTLESS ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS TO SURROUNDING FACILITIES AND I RECOGNIZE WE'' VE SAID THIS BEFORE BUT I ' LL REMIND YOU THAT 3 OF THE ROADS WE ' RE IMPROVING– 2 OF THE ROADING WE ' RE IMPROVING ARE KUSHLTLY 1-LANE DUST HIGHWAYS IN THE CITY OF DURHAM.THOSE WILL CERTAINLY COME TO BE 2 AND THREE LANE WITH BIKE PATHS AND SIDEWALKS, A GREAT ADVANTAGE TO THE INDIVIDUALS LIVING THERE AND ASSISTANCES CAPTURE AND FUNNEL TORNADO WATER. WE ' RE GOING TO BE ADDING OVER $150 MILLION TO THE TAX BASE. I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU KNOW THAT I'' M GOING TO ADVISE YOU THAT A PENNY OF EVERY DOLLAR APPROACHES AFFORD BLG REAL ESTATE ALSO AND THAT'' S AN ANNUAL PAYMENT TO THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING ALONG WITH OUR UNITS. WE'' LL BE BUILDING NEW WATER, NEW DRAIN, NEW STORM WATER INFRASFRUK CHUR AROUND THE WEBSITE AND OFF SITE TO CONNECT THE OTHER PEOPLE. WE'' LL BE CREATING FIRST NEW MULTIFAMILY RENTAL HOUSING STOCK IN SOUTHWEST DURHAM IN QUITE A VERY LONG TIME. I ASSUME ONE OF THE MOST RECENT GARDEN HOUSES ARE AROUND THE MALL. , AND LASTLY, WE'' LL BE OFFERING CITY WITH 20 NEW AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE UNITS. I'' M PLEASEDED TO ALSO HAVE COMMUNITY SUPPORT FOR THIS PROJECT. IT'' S An ACTUALLY RARE THING FOR AN APARTMENT DEVELOPMENT TO HAVE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSISTANCE. GENERALLY, WE COME RIGHT HERE WITH THAT AFTER DEALING WITH THEM BUT THIS TEAM THAT YOU'' RE TAKING CARE OF IN LEIGH TOWN REALLY APPRECIATE HIGH DENSITY WHICH'' S A NEW– DISTINCT THING.THEY '
RE EXCITED ABOUT THIS TASK. I RECOGNIZE IN MY HEART THAT OUR FIRM AND OUR ENTIRE CONSULTING TEAM HAVE DONE OUR BEST TO MEET OR SURPASS THE GOALS OF THE CITY OF DURHAM AND HOPE YOU WILL CONCUR. THANK YOU. >> > > YOU ' RE WELCOME. WE ' LL NOW TRANSFER TO THE CHALLENGERS OF THE RECOMMENDED REZONING AND AS I CALL YOUR NAME CAN YOU PERTAIN TO THE RIGHT PLATFORM. MARVIN MILLER, DEBBY McCARTHY, BECKY WINDERS, [INDISCERNIBLE] BRADFORD. I SIMPLY WAS HANDED A CARD, SABRINA DAVIS.DAVIS RIGHT HERE? I ASSUME, SABRINA L. DAVIS, IS THAT PERSON PRESENT? I'' M TRYING TO ESTABLISH IF SHE'' S OPPONENT OR SUPPORTER OF THE PROPOSITION. WHILE YOU LOCATE THAT OUT, WE CAN BEGIN. YOU HAVE 3 MINS. >> > > THANKS. SINCE NORTH CAROLINA CITIES ARE FORBIDDEN BY STATE LAW FROM REQUIRING DEVELOPERS TO INCLUDE AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE AND YET THAT 15% OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS DURHAM'' S OBJECTIVE, I DESIRED TO URGE THE COUNCIL TO HOLD OFF ON MY PIECEMEAL APPROVALS UNTIL THEY HAVE ALL THE LAWFUL DUCKS THEY ARE PERMITTED IN A ROW TO CREATE A PLANNED COMMUNITY AT LEIGH VILLAGE, AN ENTIRE PLANNED NEIGHBORHOOD, NOT JUST A STRATEGY FOR THE PROPERTY THAT ONE DESIGNER WOULD DEVELOP. I ADVISE YOU TO HOLD BACK ON THIS REZONING REQUEST UNTIL YOU CAN ASSURE YOURSELVES THAT DURHAM WILL HAVE NOT ONLY AFFORDABLE HOUSING AROUND THE LEIGH TOWN LITE RAIL TERMINAL BUT ALSO THAT THERE WILL BE MATTERS LIKE GROCERY STORE SHOP AND DRUGSTORES FOR INDIVIDUALS THAT CAN'' T AFFORD AUTOS, WHO CAN'' T AFFORD TO DRIVE TO A FOOD STORE WHICH THOSE GROCERY STORE SHOP WOULD BE AFFORDABLE TO THE RESIDENCE THAT UH YOU ARE PROVIDING ECONOMICAL HOUSING FOR.I WONDER IF, PERHAPS, IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO HOLD BACK ON REZONING REQUESTS APPROVALS FOR DEVELOPERS' ' PREPARES UNTIL MULTIPLE DEVELOPER REQUESTS ARE ON THE TABLE AND YOU TIN COMPARE THOSE DEMANDS? IF WE ARE GOING TO INVEST A LOT OF OUR TAX CASH ON LITE RAIL AND DEMOLISH AMONG THE LAST LIGHTLY-DEVELOPED AREAS IN DURHAM OR LEIGH TOWN, LET'' S GO THE MOST EFFECTIVE WE CAN TO MAKE A SCHEDULED COMMUNITY THAT WILL CERTAINLY OFFER HOUSING AWE BUDGET-FRIENDLY TO THE MAJORITY OF OUR RESIDENCE.THANK YOU.
> > NEXT IS DEBBIE McCARTHY. [APPLAUSE]> > > GOOD EVENING, MAYOR BELL AND MEMBERS OF COUNCIL. VALUE THE CHANCE TO BE HERE THIS EVENING. I LIVE AT 4517 TRENTON ROADWAY, HAVE FOR THREE DECADES, PORTRAYING FARRINGTON HEART ORGANIZATION. WHENEVER THERE'' S A FARRINGTON PRODUCT ON SCHEDULE I REALLY FEEL DUTY-BOUND TO DEFEND THIS REMARKABLE PIECE OF DURHAM AREA THAT I LOVE AND CALLED HOME FOR 30 YEARS. THE LEIGH TOWN COMPACT COMMUNITY TIER IS A REALLY SPECIAL POSSIBILITY IN DURHAM.IT ' S MORE THAN 400'ACRES OF LAND THAT IS TYPE OF A SPACE SLATE AND WHAT BECOMES OF IT IS REALLY LARGELY IN YOUR HANDS, SO I WOULD MOTIVATE TO YOU BE CAREFUL and thoughtful CONCERNING WHAT TAKES PLACE THERE. I WOULD URGE YOU TO THINK IN STIPULATIONS OF A NATURAL ADVANCEMENT, A STRATEGY THAT WOULD INCLUDE RESIDENTIAL, RETAIL, OFFICE, GREEN ROOM. WE UNDERSTAND THERE ' S GOING BE A TRANSIT TERMINAL THERE, DENSER ADVANCEMENT THAN WE ' VE NORMALLY SEEN, WE ACCEPT THAT. WE'WOULD LOVE TO THINK THERE MIGHT ALSO BE A ROMP AT THAT PLACE WITHIN THOSE 400 ACRES, YOU COULD BUFFER THAT FACILITY AND YOU COULD CONSERVE LEE RANCH BARK TO THE NORTH WHICH WOULD BE INUNDATED AND DROWNED BY THE ROMP IF IT STAYS IN THE PRESENT LOCATION.MR. SCHEWEL CAN SPEAK TO THAT BASED ON THE SLIDES HE SAW AT MEETING RECENTLY. I ' D MOTIVATE YOU TO THINK IN STIPULATIONS OF SOMETHING LIKE METAMONT. GENERALLY SPEAKING I WOULDN ' T SAY I ' M A BIG FOLLOWER OF METAMONT SINCE I'DON ' T LIKE THE FACT THEY PUSHED THE LINE RIGHT INTO THE CREEK, BUT I WILL SAY THAT METAMONTH IS A COHESIVE GROWTH, IT'' S ATTRACTIVE, IT DOES HAVE APARTMENTS AND HOUSES AND WORKPLACES AND RETAIL AND RESTAURANTS AND BUSINESSES. UM, IT IS– AND IT ALSO HAS, INTERESTINGLY SUFFICIENT A SENIOR FACILITY AND PRIMARY SCHOOL. IT'' S TYPE OF CRADLE-TO-THE TOMB, ALMOST LIKE A SMALL CITY BUT VERY ESTHETICALLY PLEASING. WHY COULDN'' T DURHAM FIND THE PROGRAMMER OF METAMONT, GIVE LEIGH TOWN, SAY LOOK AT THIS 400 ACRES, WHAT COULD YOU PICTURE BELOW. WE COULD HAVE SOMETHING EQUALLY AS LOVELY AS METAMONT BUT WITH THE UNIQUE DURHAM REALLY FEELING FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING. I PUT ON'' T THINK CHURCH HILL HAS DONE GOOD TASK BECAUSE REGARD, DURHAM CONTAINER DO BETTER.I ' D LIKE YOU THIS THINK ABOUT THIS REALITY THAT THE THICKNESS BEING IMAGINED IN THIS PROPOSAL ARE REALLY, REALLY INTENSE. I'' VE LISTENED TO 5 TO 6 TONS DEVICES. FIVE TO SIX HUNDRED SYSTEMS. THAT'' S EVEN MORE THAN TWO TIMES AS THICK AS'WHAT ' S GOING ON ON NINTH ROAD, THE VARIOUS OTHER COMPACT AREA TIER. THIS REALLY IS KIND OF OUT OF SYNC WITH REALITY. I THINK WEBSITE TRAFFIC RAMIFICATIONS WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT.SOMEONE MENTIONED WE ' D REMAIN AT A DEGREE OF SERVICE'D, THAT ' S NOTHING TO BE HAPPY WITH AFTER A GROWTH PROPOSITION YOU SHOULD BOOST TRAFFIC CONDITION, NOT DECREASE IT OR REMAIN THE SAME. PLEASE DON ' T PUT THE CART PRIOR TO THE EQUINE.' DON ' T DO A PIECEMEAL STRATEGY TO LEIGH VILLAGE COMPACT COMMUNITY. UH YOU TIN REDESIGN THE WHOLE UDO IN A MANNER THAT WILL BE, , A REAL BEAUTIFUL GEM FOR ALL OF DURHAM TO ADMIRE AND FOR ALL OF United States TO ASSISTANCE. THANKS. > > WELCOME. BECKY WINDERS. MS. DAVIS CAN BE FOUND IN? ARE YOU TALKING AS AN OPPONENT OR ADVOCATE? IN THAT SITUATION, I ' M GOING TO INCLUDE 3 MINS TO THE ADVOCATE ' S TIME'. COMBE BECKY WINDERS. > > MY NAME IS BECKY WINDERS AND I LIVE ON SEE HEAP ROADWAY. >> I VALUE THE TROUBLE OF THE CHOICE YOU NEED TO MAKE HERE. BEFORE YOU MAKE IT TONIGHT, I ASK YOU TO ASK YOURSELF 3 INQUIRIES. THE FIRST ONE IS, SHOULD THE COUNCIL GIVE EXEMPTION TO THE UDO THICKNESS DEMAND OF 18 UNITS IN THE SUV RATE MIXED USE FEATURES PERMITTING 25-30 SYSTEMS PER ACRE AS REQUESTED BY THIS TASK? COUNCIL HAS THE AUTHORITY TO APPROVE OR REFUTE REZONING AND THERE IS PRIORITY FOR LETTING PROPERTIES IN SUBURBAN TRANSIT AREAS TO DEVELOP UNDER COMPACT HOOD STANDARDS, HOWEVER, RATE BOUNDARIES AND UDO STANDARDS STANDS FOR VIEWS AND WORK OF HUNDREDS OF DURHAM PEOPLE AND MUST NOT BE OVERRULED LIGHTLY.AT FEBRUARY CONFERENCE, THE PREPARING PAYMENT VOTED AGAINST AUTHORIZATION OF THE LEIGH VILLAGE COMPACT COMMUNITY BECAUSE WE THINK THAT THE EXISTING COMPACT ZONING CRITERION THAT WERE ESTABLISHED FOR URBAN AREAS OF THE CITY REQUIRED TO BE REVIEWED PRIOR TO THEY ARE USED TO SUBURBAN AREA. IS THIS ADVANCEMENT RIGHT FOR DURHAM AND LEIGH TOWN? THIS IS A BIG GROWTH AS DEVON SAID, 50%MORE UNITS THAN THE LARGEST OF THE NEW HOUSES DOWNTOWN.IT WILL CERTAINLY INCLUDE AN JUNCTION TO FARRINGTON ROADWAY BETWEEN RUTGERS AND IT ' S ADDED AT THE D DEGREE THAT MAKES THREE HECTIC SIGNALIZED UNSIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS PRIOR TO YOU OBTAIN TO THE
IN THE HALF MILE BEFORE YOU OBTAIN TO THE CONGESTED FARRINGTON HIGHWAY 54 CROSSING. I SUBMIT THE AREA MAY BE BETTER SERVED BY RESIDENTIAL ADVANCEMENT TO THE INSIDES OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD CLOSER TO PROPOSED RAIL TERMINAL AND FARTHER FROM FARRINGTON ROAD AND ALSO THAT SEVERAL SMALLER DOPES BY CITIZEN DEVELOPERS MAY GENERATE MORER JOBS AND OTHER ECONOMIC ADVANTAGES THAN THIS BIG PROJECT BY A NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT BUSINESS. AT ANY PRICE T AREA SHOULD HAVE A CHANCE TO COMPLETELY COMPACT AREA PREPARATION PRIOR TO DEVELOPMENT OF THIS RANGE IS AUTHORIZED, AND IT ' S GREAT THAT THE DEVELOPER IS PROVIDING THIS FRAMEWORK FWUS GOING TO BE ORIENTED TOWARDS THE AREA OF THIS PROPERTY AND NOT NECESSARILY IN THE OPTIMUM AREA THAT WILL PROFIT THE WHOLE REGION, YOU KNOW.IT WOULD BE FAR BETTER TO HAVE A LAYOUT AND KNOW WHERE THE INFRASTRUCK SCHUR MUST GO AS OPPOSED TO BUILDING IT PIECEMEAL. IF YOUR ANSWERS TO THE PREVIOUS 2 INQUIRIES APPEARED TO BE YES, YOU WILL REQUIRED TO CONSIDER; HOW WILL CERTAINLY THE CITY MEET AFFORDABLE HOUSING OBJECTIVE WITHOUT CONSIDERABLE CONTRIBUTION FROM THE ECONOMIC SECTOR. 20 UNITS IS GREAT AND IT ' S GREAT TO THE PRECEDENT BUT WHERE WILL INDIVIDUALS LIVE WHO CUT THE POISE, CLEAN AND MAINTAIN BUILDINGS AND ASSIST DOCTORS IN THE WORKPLACES? THANKS. > > YOU ' RE WELCOME. [APPLAUSE] > > SPENCER BRADFORD, 1613 ACADIA ROAD. I COME– COALITION AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRANSPORTATION AND CONGREGATIONS IN ACTIVITY TO MOTIVATE THE CITY BOARD TO USAGE REZONING DEVICE TO WORK TOWARDS THAT 15% AFFORDABLE >> HOUSING OBJECTIVE WE HAVE FOR THE TRANSIT DROPS IN OUR AREA. >> WE HEARD A RECORD FROM KAREN EARLIER THIS MONTH THWARTED TO THAT DESCRIBED SIMPLY JUST HOW MUCH OF AN UP HILL BATTLE WE ' RE STRUGGLING WITH IN THE COMING YEARS TO BE ABLE TO CLOSE THAT AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE VOID, TO REACH THIS GOAL THAT WE HAVE, AND WHILE WE APPRECIATE THE EFFORT OF THE PROGRAMMER TO BOOST THE NUMBER OF UNITS UP TO 20, THAT ' S STILL A FAR WAY FROM THE 15%GOAL OUT OF 600 HOMES THAT WE NEEDED TO WORK TOWARDS FOR THIS.WE MAY BE– THE NUMBER THAT THEY ' VE COMMITTED TO MAY GET United States A FEW STEPS CLOSER TOWARDS THAT OBJECTIVE THAT WAS SET FOR United States FOR THE COMING YEARS, BUT WHAT WE ' RE CONCERNED A ABOUT IS THAT WHILE IT MAY RELOCATION United States A FEW STEPS UP THAT GOAL IT ' S GON NA INCREASE THE INCLUDE THAT WE ' LL NEED TO OVERCOME IN THE COMING YEARS AS WE GO UP. THIS GROWTH IS GOING TO OCCUPY A LOT OF THE LOCATION FOR HOUSING GROWTH IN THAT COMPONENT OF DURHAM, AROUND THAT TRANSPORTATION'TERMINAL. IT ' S GOING TO RISE THE CONCERN THAT OUR COMMUNITY WILL DEAL WITH IN ON OTHER DEVELOPERS AND IN OTHER HOUSING PROVIDERS TO REACH THAT 15% GOAL AROUND THAT TRANSPORTATION STOP. THIS IS A PARTICULAR CHANCE TO EXERCISE REAL ACTIONS OF IMPACT BY THIS BODY ON THE DIRECTION OF AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE AROUND THAT QUIT AND WE HIGHLY ENCOURAGE COUNCIL TO USAGE THAT.THANK YOU. > > WELCOME. [APPLAUSE] MS. DAVIS. MS. DAVIS. > > GREAT EVENING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. [INDISCERNIBLE] THIS IS JOSER. I ' M AMONG THE DURHAM HOUSE THAT OPPOSES THIS.

WE HEARD A REPORT FROM KAREN EARLIER THIS MONTH AVOIDED TO THAT DESCRIBED JUST HOW MUCH OF AN UP HILL STRUGGLE WE ' RE FACING IN THE COMING YEARS TO BE ABLE TO CLOSE THAT AFFORDABLE HOUSING SPACE, TO REACH THIS GOAL THAT WE HAVE, AND WHILE WE APPRECIATE THE EFFORT OF THE DESIGNER TO BOOST THE NUMBER OF UNITS UP TO 20, THAT ' S STILL A FAR WAY FROM THE 15%GOAL OUT OF 600 APARTMENTS THAT WE NEEDED TO FUNCTION TOWARDS FOR THIS.WE MAY BE– THE NUMBER THAT THEY ' VE COMMITTED TO MAY GET US A FEW STEPS CLOSER TOWARDS THAT GOAL THAT WAS SET FOR US FOR THE COMING YEARS, BUT WHAT WE ' RE CONCERNED A ABOUT IS THAT WHILE IT MAY ACTION United States A FEW TIPS UP THAT GOAL IT ' S GON NA INCREASE THE INCLUDE THAT WE ' LL HAVE TO GET RID OF IN THE COMING YEARS AS WE GO UP.

I WAS DELIGHTED TO KNOW THERE IS GOING TO BE PEDESTRIAN CONSIDERATION FOR INDIVIDUALS COMING OFF BUSES SO THEY'' LL BE ABLE TO CROSS STREET SECURELY. I ASSUME IT'' S An EXCELLENT DEVELOPMENT.

CONSIDERING THAT THEN, WE HAVE EXTENDED THE BUDGET FRIENDLY HOUSING SYSTEMS. > > EXISTS SOME REASON THAT YOU DID NOT SHARE THAT DETAILS WITH THEM? > > YES. AT THE TIME, I DID NOT BELIEVE THAT OUR BUSINESS WOULD BE ABLE TO >> DO IT. WE HAVE CREATED COST EFFECTIVE HOUSING ACROSS THE NATION IN 23 VARIOUS AREAS BUT ONLY IN COMMUNITIES WHERE THERE WAS AN EMBRACED PROGRAM IN AREA, UM, WHERE WE COULD FOLLOW A COLLECTION OF POLICIES AND APPLY A PROGRAM THAT THE CITY HAD PREAPPROVED AND AT THE END OF OUR IMPLEMENTATION WELD HAVE THE ABILITY TO BE QUALIFIED ON AN ANNUAL BASIS AS ADHERING TO THAT PROGRAM.BECAUSE DURHAM HASN ' T APPROVED THEIR PROGRAM YET, WE REALLY GENUINELY THINK THAT IT WOULD CAUSE SIGNIFICANT CONCERN FOR OUR COMPANY, FOR OUR FINANCIAL INVESTMENT PARTNERS, UM, AND, UM, FOR WHAT IT ' S WORTH I LISTENED TO EVERYBODY LOUD AND CLEAR. WE SPENT A GREAT DEAL OF TIME CHATTING WITH PREPARING COMMISSION MEMBERS AFTER THOSE HEARINGS. WE CHATTED WITH UNION PARTICIPANTS AFTER THOSE HEARINGS, AND, UM, WE ' VE SIMPLY FUNCTIONED REALLY HARD TO PUT A GOOD FOOT ONWARD AND HOPE THAT, , THIS WILL CERTAINLY HELP US. SOMETHING YOU WILL BEAR IN MIND IS THAT WE ' VE OFFERED THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS IN OUR SECONDLY STAGE WHICH OUR COMPANY BELIEVE IS A WIN/WIN. IT ENA ABLES ME TO PROVIDE YOU THE UNITS YOU WANT AND HOPEFULLY DURHAM WILL CERTAINLY HAVE ITS PROGRAM'IN POSITION BY THEN WHICH SUGGESTS I HAVE A HOPE OF OBTAINING YEARLY ACCREDITATION LETTER AND BEING ABLE TO CHECK THE BOXES AND CONFIRM TO OUR INVESTORS– NOT THE LEAST OF WHICH IS THE FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS, YOU RECOGNIZE, WE GET A CONSTRUCTION LOAN AS YOU WOULD IF YOUR BUILDING A RESIDENCE– THEY DEMAND TO KNOW WE ' VE DONE EVERY LITTLE THING THE CITY ASKS US TO DO AND THEY NEED THAT IN WRITING FROM THE CITY.SO WE WERE HOPING THAT BY OUR SECONDLY STAGE THE CITY WOULD HAVE THEIR PROGRAM AUTHORIZED WHICH WOULD BE VALUABLE TO United States. IT WOULD MAKE WHAT WE ' RE OFFERING HERE,
, IT WOULD MAKE IT REAL LLY HELPFUL FOR United States. > > DOES THAT SUGGEST YOU WILL DO ADDITIONAL AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE, , YOU ' VE ALREADY PROFFERED 20. > > THE 20 SYSTEMS ARE IN STAGE 2 AND OUR COMPANY BELIEVE THAT THAT IS A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER >> GIVEN, , WHAT DEVELOPERS HAVE VOLUNTEERED TO THE CITY IN THE PAST. I THINK GIVEN FROM EVEN FROM WHERE WE STARTED. WE FELT THAT WAS A GOOD BELIEF INITIATIVES AND IF I COULD TRY TO ACCOMPLISH SOME ROUGH MATH, YOU UNDERSTAND, IF THE CONSULTANT HAS ADVISED 300 DEVICES OVER ALL OF DURHAM ' S DESIGN DISTRICTS IN THE NEXT 5 YEARS, WE HAVE ROUGHERLY CURRENTLY WE HAVE 5 POSSIBLE STYLE DISTRICTS, THAT WOULD BE 60 DEVICES PER STYLE AREA AND FOR United States TO OFFER YOU WITH 20 OF THOSE WOULD BE 30%IN THE LEIGH VILLAGE STYLE AREA THEREFORE I ASSUME THAT NUMBER HAS MUCH MORE MEANING, GRANTED IT ' S NOT– I RECOGNIZE IT ' S NOT 15%OF THE WHOLE PROJECT.THE MATH SIMPLY DOESN ' T HELP THAT. I DON ' T THINK ANY DESIGNER WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO BRING YOU THAT. I WEAR ' T THINK LOTS OF DEVELOPERS WILL COVER WHAT WE ' VE DONE AND I
WOULD GO OFF KEEP IN MIND, WE HAVE A NATIONAL FIRM BUT I ' VE GROWN, I EXPANDED UP IN DURHAM, I ' VE LIVED BELOW AND FUNCTIONED RIGHT HERE AND ESTABLISHED BELOW WITH THIS COMPANY, WE ' VE BEEN BUILDING HOUSING FOR DURHAM RESIDENCE FOR OVER TWO DECADES AND I LOVE WHERE DURHAM IS ANOTHER PERSON AT TODAY. MY BOY IS 21, HE'INTENDED TO RETURN TO DURHAM AFTER COLLEGE. ELEVATE YOUR HAND IF YOU COULD SAY THAT 20, 30 YEARS A AGO. I IMPLY SERIOUSLY.

NO, OKAY. , SO I WANTED TO TAKE A GO BACK AND TALK A LITTLE ABOUT >> THE FACTORS THAT WE HAVE THIS AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE OBJECTIVE FOR TRANSPORTATION AREAS AND THE METHODS THAT I BELIEVE WE CANISTER REACH TOWARDS THAT GOAL WITH A WIDER SIGHT TOWARDS THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT PROCEDURE IN THE TRANSPORTATION AREAS AND DEVELOPING THESE COMPACT NEIGHBORHOODS.SO THE REASON THAT INDIVIDUALS DESIRED THE GOAL 15%ECONOMICAL HOUSING AND THE TRANSIT AREAS BEING COST EFFECTIVE IS NOT JUST SINCE DURHAM NEEDS EVEN MORE BUDGET-FRIENDLY HOUSING IN THE CITY IN ITS ENTIRETY WHICH HOLDS TRUE, IT ' S BECAUSE THESE AT MANY CRITICAL A AREAS SO MAKE CERTAIN WE MAINTAIN PRICE AS THE LITE RAIL LINE IS UPCOMING IN. LOW INCOME REQUIREMENT ACCESS TO TRANSPORTATION UH BUT IT ' S ALSO BECAUSE WE WISH TO PROTECT AGAINST THE LITE RAIL FROM BECOMING VARIATION FOR LOW INCOME INDIVIDUALS BECAUSE PASSAGE LIKE WE HAVE LISTENED TO IN OTHER TRANSPORTATION JOB DID BACK IN THE 70s, THE BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION OF 147. WE DEMAND BE SENSITIVE TO THAT BACKGROUND AND ENSURING THAT WHEN THE CITY IS DOING PROJECTS LIKE THAT THAT WE ARE REALLY THINKING CONCERNING HOW TO INCLUDE THE COMMUNITY AND MAKE CERTAIN THAT WE ARE TRULY BUILDING AND DEVELOPING INCLUSIVE MIXED EARNINGS NEIGHBORHOODS IN THESE AREAS THAT ARE GOING TO END UP BEING AND ACTUALLY AS WE ' RE SEEING NOW ALREADY ARE HIGHLY DESIRABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT.SO WITHOUT OUR INTERVENTION, THESE AREAS ARE LIKELY TO COME TO BE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE THEREFORE I THINK WE ALL AGREE United States AND THE FOLKS THAT WANT TO ESTABLISH IN THESE AREAS IN WE DON ' T DEVELOP THE TOOLS TO MAKE THIS OCCUR, IT WON ' T TAKE PLACE. WE ' RE NOT GOING SEE 15 %BUDGET-FRIENDLY HOUSING FROM DEVELOPER. I THINK LIMIT WE ' VE SEEN SO FAR HAS BEEN 2% OR LESS AND I PUT ON ' T INTEND TO DISCOUNT THOSE DEALS, I BELIEVE THEY ' RE IMPORTANT AND I COMPREHEND IT ' S DIFFICULT FOR PROGRAMMERS TO MAKE THAT TAKE PLACE. I THINK THAT THAT ' S REALLY THE TROUBLE THAT WE ' RE DEALING WITH IS THAT WHILE THOSE EFFORTS ARE VITAL AND WE APPRECIATE THEM, THEY ' RE INSUFFICIENT TO OBTAIN United States TO THE GOAL THAT WE SET AND I THINK WE DEMAND TO REMAIN TO KEEP OUR EYES ON THE PRIZE BECAUSE MEANS WE COLLECTION THE GOAL BECAUSE THAT ' S WHAT WE WANT.THE MARKET, THE PRIVATE MARKET HAS NO WORRY SUPPLYING DENSITY WHICH IS THE OTHER THING I BELIEVE WE NEED QUITE IN THESE COMPACT NEIGHBORHOODS BECAUSE DENSER DEVELOPMENT IS EVEN MORE PROFITABLE, WHAT WE REQUIREMENT TO IDENTIFY IS MAKE CERTAIN WE ' RE STRUCTURE MIXED EARNINGS COMMUNITIES IN THE LITE RAIL TRANSIT HALLWAY AND WE DEMAND TO TAKE THE TIME WE REQUIREMENT TO REALLY SEE TO IT THAT WE ' RE DOING THE RIGHT AND THAT THAT OCCURS. PARTICULARLY AT OUR LAST'FULFILLING I ASKED TO WAIT UNTIL WE GOT A RECORD FROM KAREN OUR AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE EXPERT ABOUT SPECIFIC SUGGESTIONS OR PROGRAMS WE MAY BE ABLE TO RELATE TO THIS SITUATION OR OTHER SITUATIONS TO SEE WHAT WER SUGGESTIONS INS WHICH AND IT ENDS UP SHE DOES HAVE TIP THAT ' S APPROPRIATE TO THIS INQUIRY THAT SHE AND OTHER CONCERNED MEMBERS HAVE DUTHED THAT THE FACTOR OUR DENSITY BONUS DOESN ' T WORK WHICH IS ONE OF THE MAIN TOOLS WE HAVE RIGHT NOW TO LEVERAGE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS THAT WE COLLECTION OUR BASE DENSITY'EXPENSIVE SO THAT PROGRAMMERS HAVE NO MOTIVATION TO MAKE AN APPLICATION FOR DENSITY POENS BONUS OFFER BECAUSE THEY ALREADY OBTAIN THICKNESS THEY WANT WITHOUT SUPPLYING ANY ADDITIONAL AFFORDABLE HOUSING OR PUBLIC GOODS WE MAY REQUEST FOR FOR DENSITY BONUS.SO WHAT SHE IS RECOMMENDING IS THAT AS OPPOSED TO SETTING THICKNESS AS WE HAVE PREVIOUSLY IN OUR COMPACT NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WE COLLECTION OUR BASE THICKNESS LOWER AND THEN WE CANISTER USE THE AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE OFFERING AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE AS INCENTIVE FOR BUILDERS TO OBTAIN ADDED THICKNESS IF THAT ' S WHAT THEY WANT TO HAVE IN THAT AREA. MY ISSUE IS WE APPROVE REZONINGS LIKE THIS ON A ONE-BY-ONE BASIS RATHER THAN MAKING THE EFFORT WE NEED TO REZONE THE ENTIRE AREA THAT WE ' RE NOT THAT WE ' RE GRANTING AWAY THAT POTENTIAL INCENTIVE TO GET THE SORT OF ADVANCEMENT THAT'WE NEED. THAT ' S NOT JUST DENSE BUT IT ' S ADDITIONALLY BLENDED REVENUE, INCLUSIVE, ACCESSIBLE GROWTH IN THESE AREAS OF THE CITY THAT ARE A LOT OF CRITICAL FOR US OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS. I IF WE'DON ' T OBTAIN IT NOW WE CONTAINER ' T GO BACK AND TO PERFORM IT OVER AGAIN.WE HAVE TO HAVE COMPREHENSIVE EFFORT ON THE COMPONENT OF THE CITY NOW OR'I ASSUME WE WIND UP WITH THICKNESS BUT NOT EASE OF ACCESS. AND SO WHAT I SEEM LIKE WE OUGHT TO BE DOING IS TAKING A STEP BACK AND REALLY TAKING A LOOK AT EACH LOCATION AND PLANNING THEM AS A WHOLE. I WISH TO ENSURE THAT I ASSUME THAT THESE CONCERNS ABOUT EQUITY ARE JUST AS ESSENTIAL AS THE OTHER GOALS WE HAVE IN THE TRANSIT AREAS AND I PUT ON ' T NEED THAT TO TAKE A REAR SEATS TO OUR OTHER DESIRES AND HAVE IT BE SOMETHING WE CAN MANAGE LATER AFTER WE HAVE WHATEVER ELSE FIGURED OUT.WE NEED TO INCORPORATE WISH FOR INCLUSIVENESS RIGHT INTO THE PREPARES AND PARTICULARLY AROUND THESE AREAS, SO I RECOGNIZE IT ' S GOING TO TAKE A LONG TIME. THE LITE RAIL THOUGH IS 10 YEARS OUT, SO IT ' S GOING TO BE A WHILE BEFORE WE ' RE EVEN TALKING ABOUT WHETHER PEOPLE IN THESE AREAS CONTAINER OBTAIN TO LITE RAIL. I FEEL WE ' RE THE PEOPLE THAT CONTROL AT LEAST THE FACETS OF HOW LONG IT TAKE WHICH IS IS HOW MUCH RESOURCES, YOU RECOGNIZE, HOW WELL WE SOURCE THE INDIVIDUALS MAKING THIS DECISION AND IF WE REQUIREMENT TO ASSIGN ADDITIONAL RESOURCES TO PREPARATION DEPARTMENT OR'BRING IN CONSUL ASSISTANTS TO MAKE THAT TAKE PLACE, THAT ' S SOMETHING WE ON THE COUNCIL CAN MOVE TOWARD.I THINK IT ' S EVEN MORE IMPORTANT THAT WE DO THIS RIGHT AND THAT WE MAKE CERTAIN THESE WORRIES ARE ADDRESSED AND THAT WE ARE ABLE TO DO IT MORE SWIFTLY. [APPLAUSE] THANK YOU. > > THANKS. ACKNOWLEDGE COUNCIL PARTICIPANT MOFFITT. > > THANK YOU. I WANT TO SAY THIS IS PROBABLY– I INVESTED A GREAT DEAL OF TIME'REASONING ABOUT PLANNING AND ZONING PROBLEMS, THE SIX YEARS
I INVESTED ON'THE INTENDING COMPENSATION T TIME I ' VE SPENT ON COUNCIL AND I ' VE PROBABLY SPENT MORE TIME BELIEVING ABOUT THIS JOB THAN I HAVE REGARDING PERHAPS ANY OTHER PROJECT THAT I E HAVE HEARD.I DO HAVE INQUIRIES I INTEND TO ASK TEAM ABOUT. TRAFFIC CAPACITIES, INTENDING >> OF OUR COMPACT NEIGHBORHOOD TIERS AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING CONCERNS. A PERSON ASKED, BILL, NOW I WILL CERTAINLY STATE THAT I ' VE MADE AN INITIATIVE NOT TO CAPTURE PERSONNEL BY SURPRISE, I ALLOW THEM TO KNOW I'' M GOING ASK THESE'QUESTIONS. EXPENSE, I ' VE HEARD THAT THE RESTRICTION CAPACITY NC 54 IMPLIES IF WE An ACCEPT THIS TASK IT WILL LIMIT FURTHER OPPORTUNITIES FOR DEVELOPMENT IN THE LEIGH VILLAGE COMPACT NEIGHBORHOOD; CANISTER YOU TALK TO THAT? WHAT ' S YOUR VIEWPOINT OF THE LIMITATIONS THAT NC 54 ENFORCES ON GROWTH THERE AND WHATEVER THOSE RESTRICTIONS ARE, SHOULD REZONINGS IN LEIGH TOWN LOCATION BE POSTPONE UNTIL COMPACT AREA RATE ' S COMPLETELY DEVELOPED? > > BILL JUDGE, TRANSPORT. I ' M GOING TO ANSWER SECONDLY PART OF THE QUESTION FIRST. ULTIMATELY THAT ' S COUNCIL ' S DECISION AND NOT NECESSARILY PERSONNEL ' S. SO MUCH AS THE OFFERED STREET CAPABILITY T CROSSWAY OF NC 54 AND MANY OF THE JUNCTIONS THERE ALONG 54 ARE BASICALLY OPERATING RIGHT AT DEGREE SERVICE D NOW.THERE ' S NOT MUCH OFFERED ABILITY. THE PROPOSED REZONING, BOTH HAVE A NUMBER OF ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS >> AT INTERSECTION OF NC 54 AND FARRINGTON WHICH ARE THE VERY SAME RENOVATIONS REQUIRED OF THE CAROLINA CROSSING DEVELOPMENT WHICH HAS BEEN CONSISTED OF IN WITH THIS REZONING DEMAND. THOSE IMPROVENMENTS WILL PROVIDE EXTRA CAPABILITY BUT THE PROPOSED GROWTH WILL END UP USING MOST OF THAT ABILITY SO WE WIND UP BACK AT THE LEVEL SERVICE D.
THEY ARE MITIGATING THEIR WEB TRAFFIC BUT THEY ' RE NOT OFFERING EXCESSIVE CAPABILITY THAT COULD BE USED BY OTHER GROWTHS. SO IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THAT ISSUE, THE state and the city COLLABORATE TO CREATE NC 54 I 40 CORRIDOR PLAN A VARIETY OF YEARS A AGO.THOSE ARE A NUMBER OF ADVISED RENOVATIONS THAT ARE LONG-TERM SUCH AS BUILDING GREAT SPLITTINGS UP A AT FARRINGTON AND 54. THOSE ENHANCEMENTS HAVE MADE IT TO THE TAIL END OF JOB BUT THEY ' RE STILL A NUMBER OF YEARS OUT. > > THANK YOU. STEVE, I WANTED TO ASK YOU TOO. I ' M GOING TO AMEND MY QUESTION A LITTLE. OF ALL, WE HEARD SOME TESTAMENT TONIGHT THAT LEIGH VILLAGE SHOULD BE REMINISCENT OF SOMETHING LIKE SOME VILLAGE OR METAMONT, RIGHT, PLANNED TOWN I
ASSUME THE QUOTE WAS WITH DRUGSTORES AND GROCERY STORE SHOP. CANISTER YOU DISCUSS WHAT WE CANISTER DO TO ENSURE THAT IT ' LL HAVE DRUGSTORES OR WHAT DIFFERENCES AS A RESULT WHAT WE CANISTER DO WITH LEIGH TOWN AND WHAT WITH METAMONT? > > SURE.STEVE MEDLIN WITH PLANNING DIVISION. >> I ASSUME IT ' S TO REMEMBER THAT BOTH METAMONT AND SOUTHERN VILLAGE WERE BUILT BY A SOLITARY DOPER THAT REQUIRED ALL THE PROPERTIES TO PLAN OF ATTACK THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHICH MEANT LOOKED AT ALL THE ASPECTS OF WHAT THEY WERE TRYING TO PRODUCE INCLUDING RESIDENTIAL AND SUPPORT SERVICES IN REGARDS TO FEATURES TO THOSE HOME THEY WERE CREATING. OBVIOUSLY AT LEIGH VILLAGE EFFORT IT'' S A MUCH LARGER LOCATION THARN THAN YOU TYPICALLY WOULD SEE. LAND HOLDINGS ARE UNDER SEVERAL POSSESSIONS.
EXISTING APPLICANT ONLY THAT HAS VERY MINIMAL HOLDING. AS IT CONNECTS TO HOW WE ENVISION THAT WE ' RE GROIN TO PRODUCE AN SETTING THAT WILL CERTAINLY CONTRIBUTE FOR THE MARKETPLACE TO BE ABLE TO CREATE A VARIETY OF MAKES USE OF INCLUDING OFFERING THOSE SAME FEATURES AS YOU ' RE FAMILIAR AS COUNCIL IN THE MIDTOWN LAYOUT DISTRICT AND ALSO NINTH STREET DESIGN DISTRICT WE ' RE USING A FORMED-BASED ZONING CODE. THE RELEVANCE OF THE KIND BASED CODE IS THAT WE ' RE EVEN MORE CONCERNED REGARDING THE PHYSICAL FRAMEWORK THAT ' S BEING– NOT THE LOOK, NECESSARILY, BUT THE TYPE– AND MUCH LESS CONCERNEDED ABOUT THE USE.WE ALLOW A WIDE VARIETY OF USES RECOGNIZING THAT WHEN PARTICULAR THICKNESS OF TASK REACH A CRITICAL FACTOR THEN SERVICES WILL CERTAINLY BE SUPPLIED BECAUSE THE MARKET WILL WISH TO COME IN AND PROVIDE THOSE FEATURES WHETHER IT BE DRUGSTORES, GROCERY SHOP, WHETHER IT BE WHATEVER, IT ' S CRUCIAL TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN YOU ' RE COMING OUT OF THE GATE– AND I BELIEVE DOWNTOWN ' S A FINE EXAMPLE OF THAT– WE DON ' T HAVE– WE DO HAVE A DRUGSTORE– WE DON ' T HAVE A FOOD STORE IN DOWNTOWN. THAT ' S SOMETHING WE HEAR REPETITIVELY THAT INDIVIDUALS WISH TO HAVE.
WHAT WE HEAR IS WE DON ' T HAVE THE THICKNESS, THE HOUSING UNITS WE HAVE TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO SUPPORT THAT. OBVIOUSLY, THAT IS CHANGING UNFORTUNATELY VERY GRADUALLY. I WOULD ENVISION SAME KIND OF ENVIRONMENT IN LEIGH TOWN. THAT YOU HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE AND THE THE MAJORITY OF CRITICAL A ASPECTS OF TRYING TO DEVELOP THAT ENVIRONMENT IS BY SETTING RESIDENTIAL UNITS IN THE COMPACT OR FUTURE COMPACT TIER AREA TO ASSISTANCE THOSE SOLUTIONS. > > MANY THANKS. ANOTHER CONCERN FOR YOU. PROCEDURE PLANNING COMPACT AREA TIERS AND WHAT I CALL THE SEQUENCING OF CHOICES. CAN YOU SHOW US YOUR THOUGHTS REGARDING APPROPRIATE METHOD FOR MOVING ON? SHOULD WE HOLD-UP REZONINGS UNTIL COMPACT COMMUNITY TIERS ARE TOTALLY CREATED AND ACCEPTED? > > PERMIT ME TO TALK LATE LITTLE BIT REGARDING THE PROCEDURES AND PERMIT ME TO ACTUALLY CONTACT MS. YOUNG TO HELP ME OUT THAT IS IS MY STRATEGIC PREPARATION SUPERVISOR. WHENEVER YOU START A PROCEDURE LIKE THIS, YOU HAVE TO FIRST DO OBVIOUSLY EQUIP ANALYSIS OF STATUS QUO, DO A LOT OF PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT. YOU REQUIRED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE VISION OF THE COMMUNITY IS NOT SIMPLY ON AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE BUT ALSO ASHORE USE> ASPECTS AND WHERE THE BOUNDARIES OF THE COMPACT AREA RATE NEED TO BE. WITHIN THE COMPACT AREA TIER YOU REQUIRED TO CHOOSE WHERE THE STRENGTH AREAS ARE, THE CORE, THE ASSISTANCE ONE, UH SUPPORT 2 DISTRICTS.THAT TAKES TIME, INCLUDES A GREAT DEAL OF PUBLIC INTERACTION AND A LOT OF PUBLIC COMMENT. THE FACTOR I E TOSSED OUT THE THREE TO >> FIVE HA HEAR HOME WINDOW IS THAT ' S WHAT IT TAKES BASED ON EXPANSES. IT TOOK United States THREE TO 5 YEARS TO PERFORM THE PREPARE FOR NINTH ROAD AND ANOTHER PERSON TWO YEARS TO DEVELOP THE ZONING CODE FOR NINTH ROAD BECAUSE OF THAT REALLY INTERACTION PROCEDURES THAT I ' M REFERRING TO. AND SO IT TAKES ABOUT THAT LONG TO GET WITH THAT INITIATIVE, PLUS AFTER THAT YOU TO GO THROUGH THE LEGISLATIVE PROCEDURES OF ADOPTING BOTH THE CODE, ITSELF, AND AFTER THAT IMPLEMENTING THAT CODE WITH THE ZONING ACTIONS. EACH OF THOSE ARE LEGAL ACTIVITIES THAT TAKE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME. WHEN WE USE THE ARRAY, WE ' RE TRYING TO CAPTURE EVERY ONE OF THOSE ELEMENTS.SORRY, NOT AVOIDING YOUR SECOND QUESTION THERE. I ASSUME THE ONE CONCERN I HAVE IS THAT IF WE ACT OR DON ' T ACT ON INTERVENING REQUESTS THAT ARE COMPLIANT WITH OR AS CERTIFIED AS THEY CANISTER BE WITH OUR EXISTING COMPACT DESIGN STANDARDS, UM, THAT WE ' RE CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE DEVELOPMENT MAY GO IN INAPPROPRIATE INSTRUCTIONS. AS YOU ARE CONSCIOUS, HOMEOWNER HAVE THE RIGHT TO THEY ALREADY HAVE ZONING SO THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO CREATE UNDER EXISTING ZONING IF THEY SO CHOOSE. A LOT OF THE ZONING IN LEIGH TOWN LOCATION IS PRIMARILY I LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL. IN MY MIND, I ASSUME IT ' S DIFFICULT WHEN INDIVIDUALS BEGIN TO CREATE SOLITARY FAMILY MEMBERS HOMES TO COME BACK LATER ON AND TRY TO EXECUTE THE VISION OF WHAT WE ' RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH WITHIN THE COMPACT NEIGHBORHOODS. I ASSUME IT ' D BE BETTER SUITED AND
THAT ' S WHAT WE ' VE ADVOCATED FROM THESE APPLICANTS THAT THEY SHOT TO LAYOUT A JOB THAT COMES CLOSE TO BEING A COMPACT STYLE DISTRICT. TRIED TO MIRROR IT AS CLOSE AS WE CAN NOT KNOWING FINAL FACTS. OBVIOUSLY IN THIS INSTANCE IT ' S MY OPINION THAT THEY HAVE DONE THAT.THEY HAVE CHECK AULD THE BOXES WE ' VE ASKED THEM TO CHECK AS A PERSONNEL. THEY ' VE GIVEN United States DENSITY WE ' RE SEEKING. THAT THICKNESS CORRESPONDS BOTH WITH A STYLE AREA THICKNESS AS WELL AS IN KEEPING WITH GOLD TRIANGLE THICKNESS IDENTIFIED BEING ESSENTIAL FOR THE TESTAMENT PLACING IN AREA. THEY HAVE CREATED THE WEBSITE SO MOVING THE BUILDINGS SHUT TO THE ROADWAY. DEVELOPED IT SO THEY CAN DO INFIELD ADVANCEMENT WHEN THE MARKETPLACE MAY SUPPORT THAT. THEY HAVE MADE SOME CONCESSIONS THAT MADE ROAD RENOVATIONS TO ADDRESS SEVERAL OF OUR POLICY ISSUES.THEY HAVE DONE EVERYTHING REASONABLE AND THEREFORE PERSONNEL OBVIOUSLY IS RECOMMENDING THIS TASK. > > THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT, I APPRECIATE THAT. I ' M GOING TO STOP AND LET OTHER INDIVIDUALS SPEAK AND I MAY HAVE SOMETHING EVEN MORE TO ADD LATER. > > TO START WITH, I THINK, IN TERMS OF AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE, 15 %GOAL, I BELIEVE WE DEMAND TO REAL A IT
IT WAS A GOAL, IT WASN ' T ANYTHING IN CONCRETE THAT IT HAS HAD TO BE 15 %, IT WAS A'GOAL ATTAIN. THE ENTIRE CONCEPT REGARDING REWARDS DENSITY WHEN THAT FIRST SHOWED UP YEARS BEFORE SOME OF US SOME OF YOU WERE ON THIS COUNCIL, I INCREASED THE QUESTION TO THE PREPARING TEAM THAT THE GOAL HAD BEEN COLLECTION TOO LOW SO YOU ' RE NEVER GOING TO GET PROGRAMMERS TO BE ABLE TO BENEFIT FROM ANY INCENTIVE DENSITIES WITH THAT LOW PHONE NUMBER BECAUSE THEY CAN HANDLE THIS.THAT ' S NOT BRAND-NEW NEWS. WHY WE PLACE ' T RELOCATED TO TRY TO LOWER THE BASE, YOU OBTAINED TO TALK WITH OTHERS BECAUSE I ' M OUT THE PLANNING PERSONNEL,
PLANNING COMPENSATION BUT I ' VE STATED OVER AND OVER ONCE AGAIN THE TERMS WE HAVE IN TERMS OF BONUS DENSITY WITH BASE COLLECTION AS IT IS, YOU ' RE NEVER GOING TO OBTAIN PROGRAMMERS AHEAD IN AND DO ANYTHING. I ' VE HAD SOME EXCHANGES OR> EMAILS WITH I KNOW MY ASSOCIATES HAVE BEEN REPLICATED ON WITH PERSONS THAT HAVE RECOMMENDED WE DO AN OVERLAY. THAT MAY BE AMONG THE WAYS WE GET IT DONE BUT NO DETAILS IN ANY WAY. I DON ' T THINK THIS COUNCIL, I WEAR ' T THINK PLANNING PAYMENT, JOINT CITY/COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION HAS A FEELING OF SERIOUSNESS TO GET SOMETHING DONE.
WE FELT THAT WAS An EXCELLENT CONFIDENCE INITIATIVES AND IF I COULD SHOT TO DO SOME ROUGH MATH, YOU RECOGNIZE, IF THE CONSULTANT HAS ACTUALLY RECOMMENDED 300 SYSTEMS OVER ALL OF DURHAM ' S DESIGN DISTRICTS IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, WE HAVE ROUGHERLY AT THIS TIME WE HAVE 5 PROSPECTIVE STYLE AREAS, THAT WOULD BE 60 DEVICES PER STYLE DISTRICT AND FOR United States TO SUPPLY YOU WITH 20 OF THOSE WOULD BE 30%IN THE LEIGH VILLAGE LAYOUT DISTRICT AND SO I BELIEVE THAT NUMBER HAS ALSO MORE DEFINITION, GRANTED IT ' S NOT– I UNDERSTAND IT ' S NOT 15%OF THE WHOLE PROJECT.THE MATHEMATICS JUST DOESN ' T FUNCTION FOR THAT. I PUT ON ' T THINK LOTS OF DEVELOPERS WILL CERTAINLY TOP WHAT WE ' VE DONE AND I
WOULD GO OFF KEEP IN MIND, WE HAVE A NATIONAL FIRM BUT I ' VE GROWN, I GREW UP IN DURHAM, I ' VE LIVED RIGHT HERE AND WORKED BELOW AND CREATED BELOW WITH THIS FIRM, WE ' VE BEEN STRUCTURE HOUSING FOR DURHAM RESIDENCE FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND I LOVE WHERE DURHAM IS ANOTHER PERSON AT RIGHT NOW. I ASSUME THE MAX WE ' VE SEEN SO FAR HAS BEEN 2% OR LESS AND I DON ' T WANT TO DISCOUNT THOSE DEALS, I ASSUME THEY ' RE VITAL AND I COMPREHEND IT ' S DIFFICULT FOR DEVELOPERS TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. I ASSUME THAT THAT ' S REALLY THE PROBLEM THAT WE ' RE FACING IS THAT WHILE THOSE EFFORTS ARE IMPORTANT AND WE APPRECIATE THEM, THEY ' RE NOT ENOUGH TO OBTAIN United States TO THE GOAL THAT WE COLLECTION AND I BELIEVE WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO KEEP OUR EYES ON THE PRIZE IN THAT METHOD WE SET THE OBJECTIVE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THAT ' S WHAT WE WANT.THE MARKET, THE PRIVATE MARKET HAS NO PROBLEM GIVING THICKNESS WHICH IS THE VARIOUS OTHER POINT I ASSUME WE NEED VERY MUCH IN THESE COMPACT NEIGHBORHOODS BECAUSE DENSER DEVELOPMENT IS EVEN MORE PROFITABLE, WHAT WE DEMAND TO FIGURE OUT IS MAKE CERTAIN WE ' RE BUILDING MIXED REVENUE COMMUNITIES IN THE LITE RAIL TRANSIT CORRIDOR AND WE DEMAND TO TAKE THE TIME WE REQUIREMENT TO REALLY MAKE SURE THAT WE ' RE DOING THE RIGHT AND THAT THAT HAPPENS. THE IMPORTANCE OF THE TYPE BASED CODE IS THAT WE ' RE EVEN MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE PHYSICAL STRUCTURE THAT ' S BEING– NOT THE LOOK, NECESSARILY, BUT THE FORM– AND LESS CONCERNEDED ABOUT THE USE.WE ALLOW A WIDE ARRAY OF USES RECOGNIZING THAT WHEN SPECIFIC DENSITIES OF ACTIVITY REACH A CRITICAL POINT THEN SOLUTIONS WILL CERTAINLY BE OFFERED SINCE THE MARKET WILL CERTAINLY NEED TO COME IN AND SUPPLY THOSE FACILITIES WHETHER IT BE DRUGSTORES, GROCERY STORE STORES, WHETHER IT BE WHATEVER, IT ' S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER WHEN YOU ' RE COMING OUT OF THE GATEWAY– AND I BELIEVE DOWNTOWN ' S A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THAT– WE DON ' T HAVE– WE DO HAVE A DRUGSTORE– WE DON ' T HAVE A GROCERY STORE STORE IN MIDTOWN.I BELIEVE LIKE I EXPLAINED A MONTH BACK WHEN WE WERE RIGHT HERE TOGETHER, I BELIEVE THAT THE DANGER IN DENYING THIS FOR ME IS THAT THE DEVELOPER HAS AN UNDERLYING BY RIGHT CAPACITY TO CREATE THIS LAND FOR SINGLE FAMILY MEMBERS HOMES A AND THAT THOSE SINGLE FAMILY MEMBERS HOMES WOULD BE TWO HOMES AN ACRER AND I THINK WHAT STEVE MEDLIN STATES IS EXTREMELY STREW STROOU WHICH IS WHEN YOU HAVE SINGLE FAMILY MEMBERS HOMES IT ' S TOUGH TO DEVELOP DENSITY NEXT DOOR.WE ' RE SEEING THAT RIGHT NOW IN SOME OF THE REZONINGS THAT ARE COMING TO US, AND SO THE CONCERN IS IF YOU WERE A DESIGNER WHO POSSESSED THAT LAND AND/OR RATHER THE UNDERLYING LAND PROPRIETOR NOT THE DEVELOPER AND THIS DIDN ' T FRYING PAN OUT, WOULD YOU, WE ' D BE MAKING A BET IF WE DENY THIS THAT THEY ' RE GOING TO BE DEVELOPING SINGLE FAMILY MEMBERS HOME WHICH IS IS NOT WHAT WE NEED IN THIS LOCATION. WHERE I DO THINK THAT'GIVEN THE TRUTH THAT WE HAVE THE BORDER ARES UNDERWAY, THAT WE HAVE THE DENSITY PERK UNDERWAY, AND THAT WE CANISTER IN A YEAR OR MAYBE A BIT EVEN MORE GIVE THE THIS DESIGNER OR ANYBODY ELSE IN THE ANY OF THESE DESIGN AREAS THE CAPACITY TO COME BACK FOR A ONE-OFF REZONING WHICH WITH THE THICKNESS REWARDS READILY AVAILABLE TO THEM, I THINK THAT IS A GREAT POINT TO BE ABLE TO DEAL THESE DEVELOPERS.IT ' S NOT TOO FAR DOWN THE ROAD AND SO WHAT I WOULD SAY IS LET ' S DO THAT WITH ALL THE SERIOUSNESS WE CANISTER, LET ' S DO THE EXTENSIVE AREAS WITH ALL THE SERIOUSNESS WE CAN, AND THEN SAY TO THESE DESIGNER AND ANY OTHERS COME BACK WHEN WE HAVE THE THICKNESS PERKS AND WE WILL CERTAINLY LOOK FAVORABLY AT THAT TIME WHAT YOU ' RE UP TO BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY, MANY GOOD THINGS HERE BUT I ASSUME WE HAVE THE, WE ' RE DOING THE WORK ON THE DENSITY BONUS OFFERS, WE ' RE DOING THE FUNCTION ON THE DETAILED NEIGHBORHOOD BORDERS AND I THINK WE OUGHT TO DELAY UNTIL WE HAVE THAT IN AREA BEFORE WE APPROVE THIS REZONINGS LIKE THIS.THANK YOU. WHAT KIND OF GROWTH DO WE WANT TO HAVE, AND TO MY MIND AS WONDERFUL AS THIS JOB IS I COULDN ' T HAVE SUPPORTED IT– COULD HAVE SUPPORTED IT WERE IT NOT WITHIN THE TRANSIT ZONE.I THINK IT BRINGS SO MUCH GOOD TO THIS CITY BUT ULTIMATELY IF WE NEED THE THINGS THAT WE ' VE STATED WE WANT IN THE TRANSIT ZONES, IF WE NEED THE KIND OF DEVELOPMENT THAT WE SAY WE WANT IN THOSE AREAS, WE HAVE TO WILLING– AS HARD A AS IT IS– TO APPEARANCE DEVELOPERS IN THE EYE THAT HAVE WORKED FOR YEARS TO PUT SOMETHING ATTRACTIVE ON THE TABLE TO SAY AT THIS TIME AND IN THIS PLACE, THAT DOESN ' T WORK FOR US, AND I WEAR ' T THINK IT NEED TO DECREASE THE CREDIT THAT THIS TEAM DESERVES FOR PLACING A STRATEGY ON THE TABLE THAT WOULD DO A WHOLE LOT OF GREAT POINTS FOR THIS CITY, BUT ULTIMATELY TO MY MIND WE HAVE TO REMEMBER WHAT THE PROCEDURE IS FOR AND DUE TO THE FACT THAT OF THAT I INTEND TO VOTE AGAINST THE PROPOSAL.THANK YOU.
AS THE SPEAKER KEPT IN MIND PRIOR TO, THE CAPACITY OF THE CITY TO NEED IT WITHOUT SOME TYPE OF PAYMENT OR– WE DON ' T HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DO THAT AND I WEAR ' T THINK THAT ' S BEEN STATED. I THINK LIKE I EXPLAINED A MONTH BACK WHEN WE WERE BELOW TOGETHER, I ASSUME THAT THE RISK IN DENYING THIS FOR ME IS THAT THE DESIGNER HAS AN UNDERLYING BY RIGHT ABILITY TO DEVELOP THIS LAND FOR SINGLE HOUSEHOLD HOMES A AND THAT THOSE SINGLE FAMILY MEMBERS HOMES WOULD BE TWO HOMES AN ACRER AND I THINK WHAT STEVE MEDLIN CLAIMS IS REALLY STREW STROOU WHICH IS ONCE YOU HAVE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES IT ' S DIFFICULT TO CREATE DENSITY NEXT DOOR.WE ' RE SEEING THAT RIGHT NOW IN SOME OF THE REZONINGS THAT ARE COMING TO United States, AND SO THE QUESTION IS IF YOU WERE A DEVELOPER WHO OWNED THAT LAND AND/OR RATHER THE UNDERLYING LAND PROPRIETOR NOT THE DEVELOPER AND THIS DIDN ' T FRYING PAN OUT, WOULD YOU, WE ' D BE MAKING A WAGER IF WE DENY THIS THAT THEY ' RE GOING TO BE DEVELOPING SINGLE HOUSEHOLD HOME WHICH IS IS NOT WHAT WE NEED IN THIS LOCATION. WHERE I DO THINK THAT'GIVEN THE REALITY THAT WE HAVE THE BORDER ARES UNDERWAY, THAT WE HAVE THE THICKNESS BONUS UNDERWAY, AND THAT WE CANISTER IN A YEAR OR PERHAPS A BIT MORE SUPPLY THE THIS PROGRAMMER OR ANYBODY ELSE IN THE ANY OF THESE LAYOUT DISTRICTS THE CAPABILITY TO COME BACK FOR A ONE-OFF REZONING WHICH WITH THE THICKNESS BONUS OFFERS OFFERED TO THEM, I ASSUME THAT IS An EXCELLENT THING TO BE ABLE TO DEAL THESE DEVELOPERS.IT ' S NOT TOO MUCH DOWN THE ROAD AND SO WHAT I WOULD SAY IS LET ' S DO THAT WITH ALL THE URGENCY WE CAN, LET ' S DO THE EXTENSIVE NEIGHBORHOODS WITH ALL THE NECESSITY WE CAN, AND THEN SAY TO THESE PROGRAMMER AND ANY OTHERS COME BACK WHEN WE HAVE THE DENSITY BONUS AND WE WILL CERTAINLY LOOK FAVORABLY AT THAT TIME WHAT YOU ' RE UP TO BECAUSE THERE ARE LOTS OF, LOTS OF GOOD THINGS RIGHT HERE BUT I THINK WE HAVE THE, WE ' RE DOING THE WORK ON THE THICKNESS PERKS, WE ' RE DOING THE WORK ON THE COMPREHENSIVE NEIGHBORHOOD BORDERS AND I THINK WE NEED TO WAIT UNTIL WE HAVE THAT IN LOCATION BEFORE WE APPROVE THIS REZONINGS LIKE THIS.THANK YOU. THE OTHER POINT IS, I DON ' T WANT TO OFFER SHORT THE PROPOSED ROADWAY RENOVATIONS WHEN I DESCRIBE THIS SPECIFIC JOB TO MY PARTNER, THAT WAS NEAR THE TOP OF THE LISTING OF MATTERS THAT WOULD BE GOOD AND SHE QUIT ME RIGHT THERE AND SAID OWE WAY THAT ' S SUFFICIENT, I ' M FOR IT. WHAT KIND OF GROWTH DO WE WANT TO HAVE, AND TO MY MIND AS WONDERFUL AS THIS TASK IS I COULDN ' T HAVE SUSTAINED IT– COULD HAVE SUPPORTED IT WERE IT NOT WITHIN THE TRANSPORTATION ZONE.I THINK IT BRINGS SO MUCH GOOD TO THIS CITY BUT ULTIMATELY IF WE NEED THE THINGS THAT WE ' VE SAID WE WANT IN THE TRANSPORTATION AREAS, IF WE NEED THE KIND OF DEVELOPMENT THAT WE SAY WE NEED IN THOSE AREAS, WE HAVE TO WILLING– AS HARD A AS IT IS– TO APPEARANCE DEVELOPERS IN THE EYE WHO HAVE FUNCTIONED FOR YEARS TO PUT SOMETHING ATTRACTIVE ON THE TABLE TO SAY AT THIS TIME AND IN THIS LOCATION, THAT DOESN ' T FUNCTION FOR US, AND I WEAR ' T THINK IT SHOULD REDUCE THE DEBT THAT THIS TEAM IS ENTITLED TO FOR PLACING A PLAN ON THE TABLE THAT WOULD DO A WHOLE LOT OF EXCELLENT THINGS FOR THIS CITY, BUT ULTIMATELY TO MY MIND WE HAVE TO REMEMBER WHAT THE PROCESS IS FOR AND BECAUSE OF THAT I MEAN TO ELECT VERSUS THE PROPOSAL.THANK YOU. MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE THAT IS A FIRST STEP AND I'' M PLEASED THE CITY ' S HEADED IN THAT DIRECTION, BUT UNTIL YOU HAVE THE FINANCING IN PLACE OR THE TOOLBOX IN LOCATION THAT, DENSITY PERK IS STILL HANGING OUT THERE IN THE AIR.IT ' S NOT GOING TO TRIGGER TO OCCUR WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE HAPPEN. WE TAKE OUR TIME AND I PUT ON ' T THINK WE ' LL OBTAIN IT DONE IN A YEAR AND I WEAR ' T THINK WE ' LL HAVE THE VOID CLOSED IN A YEAR. WINDERS DID ASK THE QUESTION AT THE PLANNING PAYMENT MEETING CLAIMED DAN HOW ARE INDIVIDUALS GOING TO BE ABLE TO SECURELY WALK FROM THIS AREA OVER TO THE TRANSPORTATION TERMINAL AND MY RESPONSE WAS, I PUT ON ' T KNOW, HOPEFULLY SOME DAY WE CONTAINER FIGURE IT OUT BUT RIGHT NOW THIS TASK IS NOT WITHIN WHAT YOU WOULD CONSIDER A STROLL ZONE OF THIS FUTURE TRANSIT STATION AND FOR THAT REASON– DON I ' VE GONE ON TOO LONG I ' M SORRY.
MY POINTER WOULD BE THAT IS A FIRST STEP AND I'' M DELIGHTED THE CITY ' S HEADED IN THAT INSTRUCTIONS, BUT UNTIL YOU HAVE THE FUNDING IN AREA OR THE TOOLBOX IN PLACE THAT, THICKNESS BONUS OFFER IS STILL HANGING OUT THERE IN THE AIR.IT ' S NOT GOING TO CREATE TO HAPPEN WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE HAPPEN. WE TAKE OUR TIME AND I WEAR ' T THINK WE ' LL GET IT DONE IN A YEAR AND I DON ' T THINK WE ' LL HAVE THE GAP SHUT IN A YEAR. THE PARK WILLING BE STRUCTURED UNDERGROUND SO IT WON ' T TAKE AWAY FROM THE ATMOSPHERES AND FEELINGS OF WHAT ' S GOING ON AND LIKEWISE KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS ACTUALLY A'– THE WEBSITE TRAFFIC ACTUALLY GONE DOWN HALF LESSENING NUMBER OF INSTITUTION CHILDREN FROM WHAT ' S OUT THERE AND WE ' RE NOT NEARLY PUSHING WHAT WE COULD ASK FOR WITHOUT EVEN A FUTURE LAND USAGE MAP CHANGE SINCE THIS IS IN AN LOCATION WHERE WE COULD GO UP TO 53 DEVICE TOSS THE PAINS FER APPROVED BY E YOU, THAT WOULD BE 240 RESIDENTIAL UNITS.WE ' RE ONLY RECOMMENDING 50 AND 75,000 SQUARE FEET OF OFFICE AND COMMERCIAL. IT ' S SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM DURING CHRISTMAS PERIOD FROM THANKSGIVING ON ' TIL AFTER THE FIRST OF THE YEAR AND I TIN ' T ENVISION PLACING MORE CARS THROUGH THAT STREET BEHIND US. WINDERS DID ASK THE INQUIRY AT THE PREPARING COMMISSION CONFERENCE STATED DAN HOW ARE INDIVIDUALS GOING TO BE ABLE TO SAFELY STROLL FROM THIS PLACE OVER TO THE TRANSIT STATION AND MY RESPONSE WAS, I PUT ON ' T KNOW, HOPEFULLY SOME DAY WE CAN FIGURE IT OUT BUT RIGHT NOW THIS JOB IS NOT WITHIN WHAT YOU WOULD CONSIDER A WALK ZONE OF THIS FUTURE TRANSIT STATION AND FOR THAT FACTOR– DON I ' VE GONE ON TOO LONG I ' M SORRY.CLOSE THE BALLOT. >> > > IT PASSES 7-0 >>. > > THE METHOD THIS POINT WORKS IS WHEN I CLAIM OPEN THE VOTE, CLERK OPENS THE BALLOT, LIGHT'' S BLINKING.WHEN THE LIGHTS

I APPRECIATE– AND I'' M SERIOUS WHEN I STATE THIS– I APPRECIATE THE DISCUSSION THAT WE HAD ON THIS EARLIER PROBLEM ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING ON BOTH SIDES. PEOPLE SUPPORTING IT AND PEOPLE NOT SUPPORTING IT FOR ALL THE FACTORS YOU HAVE. I'' M GOING TO BE MAKING A A REALLY CERTAIN RECOMMEND DAGSZ IN TERMS OF A PROCEDURE THAT I ASSUME WE MIGHT INTEND TO CONSIDER TO SHOT TO REACH HOW WE REALLY GET THE DEVICES FOR INEXPENSIVE REAL ESTATE AND I'' LL DO THAT WHEN WE HAVE THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING BOARD MEETING.IT MIGHT BE OUT OF
PACKAGE, BUT THIS WHOLE PROBLEM UH IS 15%IS OUT OF THE BOX SO I THINK WE REQUIREMENT SOMEBODY TO PUT NIT PACKAGE SO WE CONTAINER PROCEED WITH IT. I WOULD HAVE An EXTREMELY SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATION REGARDING HOW I BELIEVE THAT WE CONTAINER USE THE PROCESS TO OBTAIN THIS WHOLE PROBLEM OF HOW DO WE DO AFFORDABLE HOUSING. I ' M CHATTING PARTICULARLY AROUND TRANSIT STOPS DUE TO THE FACT THAT WHEN WE SPEAK ABOUT BUILDING AROUND TRANSPORTATION STOPS, PUBLIC LAND, THAT ' S An ENTIRE VARIOUS ISSUE. WE CAN CHOOSE HOW MUCH WE ' RE GOING TO TAKE INTO IT AND WE'CANISTER CALL FOR WHAT WE WISH TO NEED OF DEVELOPERS.SPEAKING ABOUT PROPERTITIES THAT ARE NOT PUBLIC-OWNED
LAND THAT ARE AROUND TRANSPORTATION DROPS IN TERMS OF HOW WE MIGHT BE ABLE AHEAD UP WITH A TOOL TO HOPEFULLY SHOT TO OBTAIN AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE AROUND AREA JUST TOSSING THAT OUT TO YOU. ANY OTHER THINGS? INDEED, MA ' AM. CONFERENCE ' S ADJOURNED. THANKS.
