yes it does okay and board you're seeing the copy of the deed as well you would
receive that prior to right now but just want to make sure that the board can see
it we do okay and George did you hear the testimony that I offered today to
the board yes and do you adopt that do you recognize that testimony be true
and correct yes and do you adopt that testimony as though you would given it
yourself yeah and you also heard and you also heard the testimony offered by Ian
Smith yes and would you recognize that to be true and correct yes I do and
would you adopt Ian's testimony as though given yourself yes thank you I
I have nothing further for Mr. Groves. I just wanted to show two more photos to the board of the orange poster, informing everyone of today's hearing that are posted at two different spots at the building.
And this is photo one on a fence that is street facing. And this is photo two of one that is by the front door of the building.
Um, and with that, I would ask, uh, if the board has any further questions, uh, uh, the
board has any questions relative to the housing units.
Um, is there any way that you can pull up a closeup of what one of the units would look
That's kind of hard to see.
Um, and I guess the question I'm asking is, um, is there like interior trash storage in
each unit or how is the trash managed in the block building the trash collection
would probably that would probably be a question for George Groves but I would
think it would be a private hauler given a project of this size and scale so
these are your second floor the green is a two-bedroom the blue is a one-bedroom
and I will be soon.
A dumpster location or
how is move-in, move-out
going to take place
or where are the dumpsters?
Mr. Johns?
There's going to be multiple
dumpsters there because that is a very
big project.
There's going to be
24-hour a day
building maintenance there
to handle move-ins,
move-outs.
And whatever else might come down that line at that.
But you haven't identified locations for these dumpsters?
No, we haven't identified them yet because we're locating the electric power
has to be identified where it's going to go,
and then the dumpsters cannot be anywhere near that.
So DECO hasn't identified where they're going to put their stuff yet.
This is the general site view. This is the landscaping site view, but this is the footprint of the building here.
So, like Mr. Grove said, once PICO identifies where the electric service goes, then the dumpsters would go relative to that.
But there would be dumpsters, there would be a private hauler, again, because it's an 80 something unit residence.
Parking that's shown on here, although we're not parking is not part of this meeting, theoretically.
Parking is not part of this meeting, theoretically.
Is parking for the residential?
Are there going to be designated parking spaces for the residential units, or how will the parking work?
Let me scroll down to another site map here.
Let's scroll up to another site map before anybody offers.
But hold on.
Here's your ground floor plan.
And so, and George, my understanding is that these are 137 here, and there are additional here.
These are for the residences, and these are for the commercial.
Mr. Johns, the parking, the whole property consists of like eight acres.
So the development of parking where Ian suggested on the east side of the building,
but we have another four acres of land that we're going to convert to parking to.
So this right here, which I'm kind of mousing over here, would be the residential parking spaces.
Back here would be the commercial parking spaces.
um but yeah as as my client just stated there are there's a lot of space at the parcel
for the building of parking should uh additional be needed
well it looks like a good adaptive reuse for this building overall looks like a pretty good project
oh yeah thank you

refusal and stipulate to its accuracy
okay thank you you can share your screen and begin
your case say again
I'm sorry
you can start your case
share your screen with your computer please
so I'm not
very technical. What else do I need to start my video? Should I do that? Yeah, that's correct.
Hi, Mr. Ross. This is Ian Hegarty, Executive Director. You're going to have to start your
video and then you should see a green button at the bottom of your screen that says the word
share and with an arrow pointing up. You're going to have to have your documents already open
in another program that's not Zoom. And then you're going to need to click that green button
and then you're going to need to find those documents
so that the board can see them.
Mr. Ross, could you rotate your computer to your screen?
Because we're sort of seeing you upside down.
That way or that way?
Keep going. Keep going that way. Keep going.
I think you're getting close.
is that okay
you're a little crooked
no I wouldn't say that
you know not that crooked
but I mean you're
sideways how's that sound
I've been told that before, too.
But am I in where I should be?
Well, at this point, I'm not worried about where you are.
Do you see where you can get your documents up on your computer?
I mean, it just says screen and system audio recording, and it says Zoom.
And underneath that, it says system audio recording only.
So you should see something at the bottom
That's a green
A green button that says share
And if your documents are open
And then you hit that then they come up
No I don't see that I'm sorry
What if I get rid of
Oh well here's share
Yeah there you go
Now if your documents are open and you hit share
It should come up
It could be a little crooked when it comes up
No, because now it just says screen and system audio recording, and it says Zoom.
Ian, you have any ideas?
Well, we've got a couple options, Chair.
we can uh have mr ross test this out um and come back to him or i can pull up his uh what he's
submitted earlier for the board to see could you do that do you have access to it in yep give me
give me one minute please all right thank you we'll do that mr ross thank you
