Item two is a period for public comments for items not in front of the board. Uh, we have nobody physically in the room other than the board professionals. If anyone 25 00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:17.280 online wishes to make a public comment on something not currently in front of the board, please raise your hand. >> Seeing none, we'll move on. Mayor's comments. >> I I don't have any comments tonight. Thank you, Chair. >> Council, >> I don't either. 26 00:07:17.280 --> 00:07:32.800 >> Environmental Commission. >> Sorry. No, no comments at the moment. >> Don't apologize. That's fine. Um, I'm sorry I went out of order. HPC that was >> Yeah, we have our next meeting tomorrow. Uh so we haven't had one since the last 27 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:48.400 meeting. I assume we'll talk later about the June 9th meeting to make sure everything's noticed uh related to the joint meeting. And just a reminder, we have the house and garden tour on Saturday, June 6 from 11 to 5. Anyone 28 00:07:48.400 --> 00:08:03.280 interested in volunteering, you get a free ticket. Just let me know. Thanks. And just to butt in, the environmental commission is also hosting a cleanup day of the trolley stop sites for that tour on May 30th, right Melissa? 29 00:08:03.280 --> 00:08:21.039 >> Uh yes, it's the 30th, the rain day to the 31st. Uh the time is 10 to 2 and we're meeting by the DPW garage. >> Great. Thank you both. Uh item seven is reports from our professionals. We'll start with Carol. 30 00:08:21.039 --> 00:08:37.360 So, I have a draft of the revised um application escrow fee ordinance. Um I need to take one more look at it, but I'd like to send it just internally to our professionals just for their thoughts, comments. Uh my goal is to have it circulated to the board by the 31 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:53.519 June 9th meeting. Um if we want to have some discussion about it, that's fine. I know we obviously have a a fairly uh you know have a hearing scheduled for that night. I don't know how much time we'll have. Um but certainly we'll have it circulated if we want some init I'll leave it up to the chair as to how he 32 00:08:53.519 --> 00:09:09.839 wants to handle it at that point. Um but there will be something for the board to take a look at prior to that June 198. >> Okay great. So my preference would be to put it on the agenda because if the HPC matter goes quickly we've got time before our uh curfew. I'd love to be able to get that done sooner than later. 33 00:09:09.839 --> 00:09:29.519 If not we'll just carry it to the second meeting in June. >> Sounds good. Great. >> Any questions for Cara? Okay. Um Bob, do you have anything? >> No. >> Um Jim is not here. I don't see Jim in 34 00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:47.120 online or in person. So I'd asked him to have a report from our master plan subcommittee. So >> uh let's carry that to our next meeting and I'll follow up and see what uh what's going on with that of him. And if he does get here late, then we could always put it in under chair. 35 00:09:47.120 --> 00:10:01.200 Yeah. >> Okay. Um, next item on the agenda is approval of minutes from our prior meetings. Um, we're still catching up on minutes, so we do not have anything to vote on. Um, hopeful that by our next meeting, we'll be able to knock most, if 36 00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:18.720 not all of those off. So, um, item nine, resolution memorializing action taken by the board car wash LLC applications 202502, block 49, lot six. Is that been that's not ready yet? It has not been circulated. Um it's again almost 37 00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:34.160 completed. Uh assuming that the applicants and the board professionals don't have any major comments by the next meeting should be able to adopt. >> Great. All right. Uh item 10 is a completeness termination river crossing YMCA 38 00:10:34.160 --> 00:10:51.959 uh block 15 lot 5 64 CRE Street. That's also known colloally as the Flem Flemington Community Pool. So Cara, if you can kind of let us know where we're at. >> Yeah. So, first I would just want to ask is there anybody online that is here on behalf of the applicant? 39 00:10:53.839 --> 00:11:10.880 >> There's one attendee in the crowd and if you are here for the just click on raise hand and I'll we'll know it's you. >> See? >> Okay. So, seeing none, um, based upon the emails that were circulated earlier today, um, the applicants, uh, council 40 00:11:10.880 --> 00:11:27.519 was unable to be here, and I'm I guess I'm the other representative. Um, there was a letter that I understand was circulated. I have not seen that letter yet. Um, but my understanding was that it addressed the items in Bob's report, specifically waivers that were requested. Um, I explained to council 41 00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:43.040 that, you know, the board could consider the waiverss in conjunction with uh, Mr. Clarico's recommendations and that we did not know what the board was ultimately going to do, especially in light of the fact that someone would not be here tonight. Um, but they asked for 42 00:11:43.040 --> 00:12:00.720 the board to consider the waiverss that are needed based on the report, Bob's report, and uh, the chips will forward today. >> Okay. So Bob, have you seen the most recent note from their attorney that circulated like two o'clock? 43 00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:16.560 >> I saw it 20 minutes ago. >> So you've not had a chance to go through it? >> I'm just looking at it now. >> Okay. So if you're just looking at it now, I mean, I'm inclined, Cara, to not rule one way or the other on completeness and deal with it at our 44 00:12:16.560 --> 00:12:32.720 next meeting. Give Bob a chance to see whether or not they've addressed the deficiencies that were in his report. So we're basically going to carry it until the next payment. >> Well, my other the other the only question >> 45 days. >> That's my other question. >> Yes. >> So where are we with that? >> So 45 00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:50.959 it to be safe, why don't we take a vote if that's going to be the case and we are asking the applicant to we are looking to have Bob have some time to address it and to give the applicant presumably time to have discussion and address each item. I'd recommend that we 46 00:12:50.959 --> 00:13:06.880 have a motion deing the application incomplete and then carry it to uh the next meeting. >> Yeah, I may have a couple. I just started reading his letter. There's there apparently had attempted there there is some documents they submitted. He's trying to site various checklist 47 00:13:06.880 --> 00:13:23.360 items. Some of them seem to be inconsistent with the checklist we had to make. He does say in here there's a number of things that they are going to be submitting in the way of revised plan. So they're even acknowledging that there's stuff coming in. >> Okay. So, we we've we've gotten burned before about deeming something complete 48 00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:38.240 with temporary waiverss and then not getting what we need for a hearing. So, if Carrie, your recommendation is to vote to deem it incomplete, h let them know that we'll have them get in whatever that they're referencing in this note and then we can put them on the 9th. And if if the board doesn't 49 00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:54.240 object, perhaps we can put that on the agenda before the HPC matter joint hearing. I don't know how that would work, Cara, because we noticed we're a joint meeting. We can can we do can we do planning board business before we get to those matters? Like I I I would hate for them to sit around for what could be 50 00:13:54.240 --> 00:14:11.920 an hour and a half long discussion. >> Well, I mean, why don't we see let's see what happens when we get closer because if they essentially submit everything that Bob's looking for and it's going to be a clean letter, you know, then >> that makes sense. Yeah. Um we did notice 51 00:14:11.920 --> 00:14:29.600 for 7:00 for the joint meeting. So, you know, doesn't mean that we obviously can't start it earlier. Doesn't mean we can't start it later. Um, but in the past when we've done this, we've done the joint meeting first and then the planning board. >> So, Dennis, I see your hand up. >> Yeah, I would just add that the HPC is 52 00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:46.160 going to be there. So, they're going to be waiting around if we do this before the joint meeting as well. >> So, we noticed for seven and the idea would So, I would say if we can communicate to the applicant then that we're we're starting a half hour early. Hopefully we'll have, you know, whatever 53 00:14:46.160 --> 00:15:01.839 discussion and decision we need to do with the joint meeting. We can >> say we're starting a half hour early. What do you mean? >> Well, we're starting at 7. We're starting at 7 a.m. We're not going to start earlier. So, >> okay. Okay. I was going to say that confus. >> I have another meeting that >> he's got 7:30 on the rain, which is 54 00:15:01.839 --> 00:15:17.839 fine. I get that, too. >> Um 7. Um that let them know that we are going to start with that so that the HPC could go >> Sure. >> first. Um cuz I I don't want I mean well you know let's see how >> let's see how it goes because it very well may end up being that everything is there in which case the applicant may 55 00:15:17.839 --> 00:15:34.800 not may decide not even to show up. So you know we'll we'll take it as it comes but as of right now we've noticed for seven um the HPC I I need to go back and look but I I think that the HPC may need to do a little something first and then 56 00:15:34.800 --> 00:15:50.639 we take our action because they're going to have to make a presentation. >> Yes. the HPC meeting in conjunction with our meeting. So, they're going to open, we're going to open, they're going to close, we're going to take our action, and then we're going to continue with our meeting. >> That's kind of the procedure. So, >> okay. So, 57 00:15:50.639 --> 00:16:07.519 >> it's in it's in this applicant's best interest basically to deem it incomplete so we can restart the clock for them. Correct. Is I don't know when this was when you mentioned the there was a timeline the 45 days. >> Yeah. I I don't know either, which is 58 00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:24.000 why I'm trying to make sure that the board is covered. So, I think it's best to deem it incomplete. Stop that clock for everyone. >> Right. But it's not necessarily bad for them either because if they've got more stuff that they need to submit then No, I mean, it's a question. >> It depends on what you're looking at, 59 00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:37.519 but it it's in the board's best interest. So, that's what I'm concerned about. >> So, all right. So, can I get a motion then to deem this application incomplete? >> So moved. I'll second. Swindle and whitesman. >> Thank you. 60 00:16:37.519 --> 00:17:04.720 >> No problem. Any further discussion? >> Mayor Carol. >> Mayor Carol. >> No, she's there. Sorry. >> Come back to her. >> Oh, no. I'm sorry. I didn't know I was on mute. Yes. >> Thank you, Council Member. 61 00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:20.079 Yes, >> Mr. Campion. >> Yes, >> Miss Gifin. >> Yes, >> Miss Whitesman. >> Yes, Miss Swingle. >> Yes, >> Mr. Sho. >> Yes, 62 00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:35.440 >> Mr. Schlager. >> Yes, >> Mr. Dasha. >> Yes. >> Mr. Ael. >> Uh, no. Mr. Camp, >> we already got >> We got him. Okay. So, that's our man. Yeah, we're good. >> Okay. >> Sorry. 63 00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:51.760 All right. Uh, will you communicate with council? >> Yes. >> Thank you. >> Absolutely. >> All right. So, uh, we're up to chair items. I still don't see uh, Mr. Kyle. So, >> so I actually I think he sent you a text saying that there was some conflict or confusion. So, we was not planning on 64 00:17:51.760 --> 00:18:07.440 being here. We might not have seen that. >> Text me. He might not have I thought he had myself, but he did not. >> So, in any event, he apologizes. He will not be here tonight. >> Okay. Um well then we'll get to that at the next meeting. Um all right. Um so 65 00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:27.520 let's talk about let's since we already kind of started and broached the subject logistics for our meeting on the 9th of joint with HPC. >> Yes. So we have submitted the proper notification of the meeting to the website. Um we have sent out or will 66 00:18:27.520 --> 00:18:43.520 either today or tomorrow will send out the notices to all three affected property owners.

Uh we will be prepared in order to proceed on June 9th at 7:00 as we 67 00:18:43.520 --> 00:19:00.559 said and uh that will be a joint meeting with the HBC and take it from there. >> Okay. Does anybody have any questions? Dennis, is there anything else you need to add? >> No, no, that's good. Thanks. 68 00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:16.880 >> Okay, great. Um, right now June 23rd, I don't think we've got anything scheduled. Um, but we have obviously a few other applications that are kind of out there. We've got YMCA. We went the pool. We have um 69 00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:35.679 >> I know we pencled in the um >> JA for uh July 28th, the second meeting in July, right? Um and then there's incomplete the Allen Street. >> No, I'm sure they've been coming back. 70 00:19:35.679 --> 00:19:51.280 Well, I'm not sure when they're coming. >> We just don't know. We haven't heard anything from them, right, in terms of coming back. Okay. So, we may or may not need June 23rd may or may not have any agenda items. So, we we may end up we may end up canceling that one. We don't know. We'll see. This happens over the 71 00:19:51.280 --> 00:20:07.200 summer.

So, >> and again, the 14th we also don't have anything yet, but we don't know what these other ones are. So, correct. We'll see. 73 00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:39.679 >> Either which way, I can make myself avail. >> Excellent. >> Remote.
