which was the approval of minutes from our December 10th, 2025 meeting. draft set of minutes was circulated for the board's review prior to this evening's meeting. Open it to questions or comments on the proposed minutes.
>> There being none, I will look for a motion to approve. >> So moved. Thank you, Mr. Gibbons. Thank you, Mr. Craig. >> Mr. Gibbons and Mr. Cray. Okay. >> And we can do a voice vote. I believe everyone was present.
Yeah. >> Yes. >> Okay. All in favor? >> Any oppose? Same abstain. >> Okay. Minutes are approved. Thank you. We are going to move now >> into the old business section of our
agenda for this evening. Applicant is IAT Services LLC. Property is 41 Grand Avenue, block 1405, lot 4. Applications seek a preliminary and final site plan approval with use hype and bulk variance relief to construct and operate a double face
static billboard sign on a monopole. This application was carried from our December 10th meeting. Believe the applicants attorneys here. Good evening. >> Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This is Robert Falcon from the law of Steven Cinei appearing once again on behalf of the
applicant IAT services. We're we're picking up from the last at the December 10th meeting the applicant concluded its testimony with its experts William Voit House Simoff and John Mcdana. At the conclusion the board had begun to question I believe Mr. Mcdana but I
believe they did not finish and that's where we uh stand off and we were carried till today could be based on time and now we will call Mr. Mcdana who we thank was allowed to appear virtually because he had a conflict tonight. So I'm hopeful he's on the uh Zoom. I did
see his name earlier, but I don't see his name on the Zoom right now. Is this is it one of these name? Okay. >> Hopefully that Yeah, because my phone doesn't work so I can't call him. >> Okay.
Hopefully that's correct. Good evening. >> Hello, sir. Um, we're looking for the planner for the applicant, but I don't believe >> I am the fill-in planner for the applicant. John Tyikina filling in for John Mcdana. Mr. Mcdana is uh
unfortunately detained at his other meeting. And I uh unfortunately was not told that I could be in in person because I would have been there. Yeah. >> Yeah. Do have you spoken to John? Is there any chance any chance he's
>> there? There is little chance as of as of 7:30, he had not been heard yet on his matter. Uh so I don't expect him to to join uh anytime soon. >> I mean I guess this is like the most action matter
proposition ever. Mark, >> could you just put use your mic and you have to turn it on. Sorry. Sorry. Thank you. >> This is like this is like a really rudimentary legal issue. Um once a witness testifies, they have to be available for cross-examination. You
can't bring in their buddy or their partner to fill in like it it has to be concluded. Otherwise, the due process rights don't exist. So, um it's unfortunate that we're in this situation. Um is there is there any chance you think that Mr. McDonald will
free up in the next 10, 20, 30 minutes. >> I have no idea. As I said, the last time I I was in communication with him and as you said, all the all the phones are down. Uh he was not close >> uh to being made available. I'll check
with him once again. >> I was going to because I was I have other matters with Mr. Mcdana in contact with him today also. Um, do you know if he has Verizon? Because there is a, for the record, there is a Verizon outage and anybody with Verizon is kind of out of order right now. >> He is. He is Verizon. I've only been
able to contact him via email. >> So, I think it's probably very unlikely that um, he's going to be able to appear this evening. Mr. Falcon, I don't think we really have any choice but to carry them out. We we understand and it's uh we thank you for allowing us the
opportunity to present him, but I was under the impression he would be able to appear. >> Yeah, I think we were all hoping the connectivity issue would be solved by tonight. It's It hit me around 1 p.m. today. So, um let's talk about Yeah, I tried to text Mr. Mcdana. I got a not
delivered. >> Yeah, I tried to call him and I can't make a call. >> Yeah. So um what's the schedule like for next meeting? >> Um we >> do we have a do we have >> the next meeting is the January 28th. We
don't have anything on the agenda. >> Okay. So if the 28th works for you and your professionals to reappear. >> Yeah. It's really I will find it works for me. I check but I'll have to check with John. He's really the only one we up. >> All right. So why don't why don't we uh can we typically say the 28th?
>> Yeah. So, we should announce that this meeting is going to be adjourned to 7:30 p.m. in this room on January 28th. There will be no further notice in the newspaper, in the mail or publication or posted. This is the continued notice. Um, and if for whatever reason that
doesn't work, we'll make an announcement that night to a subsequent meeting. >> Understood. And we wave any time restraints or >> All right. Thank you, Mr. F. So, >> we have the public. >> Yeah. >> Okay. We I let's we should just make
sure that it works for objectors council. We have three >> Mr. Sarlo. >> Yeah. I guess the chair and members of the board on behalf of opposition record >> could you just sorry just maybe the green one just in case
>> over on the other the other desk. Charles >> good Mr. Chairman uh members of the board. Charles Slo on behalf of Darkstar Development Let It Grow. um opposition u property owner of block 1405 block three. Good evening. Um January 28th
does work for myself um to cross-examine Mr. Mcdana. Uh if we conclude that because I know the board's got a question, Mr. Mcdana, myself and we have another opposition attorney. Um I do have then two witnesses. My first witness um architect is available
January 28th. My planner would not be available. Um Peter Stack, my planner believes, not certain U. Mr. Mcdana may be with him in Paripity on January 29 28th. So I would only ask that professional courtesy for everybody in this room that we find out about Mr.
Mcdana's availability sooner rather than later so we all don't have to come out and sit here only to be told that we have a conflict. >> My only concern is to preserve the notice. So like we may have a meeting on the 28th just to announce the new date. I don't think that anybody would need to appear except to have a bare minimum
quorum of the board present to make that announcement. and you and attorneys and applicants and everyone can appear remotely if you if we had to carry it on the record. >> There's also the other option of of letting them renotice. >> Seems like a headache for no good
reason. >> We're here tonight. >> Okay. >> It's just an option. >> Okay. Well, I know. Thank you. Thank you. I think I'm sorry I forget your name, but I Good evening. Jeffrey Cheney uh from
Conley on behalf of Route 4 Main Street LLC, State of Temporelli, TrustB, and 41 Grand Avenue LLC. And just for the record, last name is Chen Ey. Uh not C H A N E Y. Uh yeah, no no issues uh on the on the proposed dates. Uh certainly
willing to, you know, to the extent necessary to appear virtually even if it just needs to be kicked uh to a future date. Thank you. Okay. Thanks, sir. >> All right. At this time, we've reached the end of our agenda if the board has
any questions, comments, before we turn. >> Otherwise, >> and and just to clarify, the application for IAT Services LLC 41 Grand Avenue, block 1405, lot 4, will be carried
without further notice to January 28th. Okay. Stand with that. I will look for a motion to adjurnn. >> So moved. Thank you, Mr. Given. Thank you, Mody. All in favor? >> The abstain journey 14.
And tight.
