peter we can swear him in sure uh chairman de chico can you hear me yes okay my name is peter
mr i'm sorry to interrupt you but nothing on the merits without the attorney here please
i'm sorry could we could we at least could i ask him if he's had a follow-up meeting
I don't think it's appropriate to do that without Mr. Malloy here.
If you give me five minutes, I'll try to contact him.
All right, hang in there, Peter.
All right, hang in there, Peter.
Okay, well, it's been, what, two hours?
Okay, well, it's been, what, two hours, so another few minutes is no big deal.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
This is Sharon Saleta, I was able to contact Mr. Molloy, there was some misunderstanding
about the date he was coming back, he is signing on right now.
And were you able to hear me just now?
Oh, okay, thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Chair, I've promoted Michael Malloy to panelists.
He can speak now.
Good morning, Mr. Malloy.
Please identify yourself with the records by your last name.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Sharon, the name is Michael Malloy, M-A-L-L-O-Y, with the firm Obermeyer Reb and Maxwell Hipple, and many, many apologies to the board.
Are you swearing to the firm to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?
We do. Thanks, I do.
Thank you.
Sharon, do we just go forward with this?
We don't have to.
unless mr molloy is requesting that it be continued further since he was not expecting
to be here today oh all right good point thank you mr molloy thank you very much and i i was
confused and i apologize i saw that it had been continued to a january meeting and so i uh was
going to contact the board because i had i had thought the board had said december 8th but then
we checked online and it had been moved. And I apologize very, very much. We would like to
request a continuance. We're still not, we did meet with the East Pass Yonk RCO. The meeting
was not positive. The RCO, you know, I'm sure they will or are here to testify that they
will oppose the fence at that height and did not want the fence. So we need some time to
regroup with my client to determine the next steps because they really really do want to be
a good neighbor to the community. We certainly don't want you know the gateway into East Pass
Yonk Avenue we certainly don't want to have any empty buildings over in that location it's
too important so you're asking for a continuance correct? Yes sir thank you. It'll be a resumption
hearing uh tanya do we have a date um we can probably stick to the date that it was um posted
online what was that what was that date you said you saw january i don't recall offhand i'm sorry
i just jumped online uh i i can find it but um we can take whatever whatever earliest date you can
we will be there and prepared
to continue.
Let me just see if I can pull it up.
Counselor?
Yes, sir.
I'd like to make a recommendation
to research
landscaping. If you
look across the street at the
medical center, they have a
big open space and is well
landscape and they don't have a problem with uh bagging uh thank you and we did hear that
during the last hearing and are taking that uh into consideration and and the the bank has
examined landscaping before but um is going to take another look at that in deference to that
comment the landscaping they did before was very minimum they have to expand it okay
uh we hear you loud and clear and we will take a a very good look at that thank you it appears that
it was um was put on for january the 20th at two we can keep it that way okay does that work mr
thank you very much sir yes okay so mi 2020-001092 1931 south broad the hearing will be resumed on
january the 20th at what time tanya 9 30 no 2 p.m chair 2 p.m on january the 20th at which time the
board will consider any feedback related to the position of the rco and the applicant and if i
could just interject Mr. Malloy that there's no need for further posting um this is just a
resumption hearing and then with the community the expectation is not for a new hearing just
feedback thank you chair thank you all this concludes the 9 30 session any unfinished business

Do you swear to the firm to tell the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth?
I'm counsel on this matter.
Okay, please proceed.
Ms. Sunkett, this is a clarification.
I believe I sent you an email about a calendar number MI2020-001528.
Is it listed for today?
what's the address no idea 1806 west ontario street
and what was it supposed to be listed you you and i were communicating about listing it on this day
but i realized that it it may have never actually been listed for this date with another property
that we have which is fine because we would be requesting a continuance anyway and it may be a
moot point i just wanted to make sure it's not listed for today i don't see it on either the
two o'clock or 3 30 list if anyone sees it differently please um this is sharon saletta
i'm sorry i know that i've seen this i'm checking tomorrow's list to see if it is listed there
um no worries if it's going to be continued just send me an email and i promise that i will put
them together my apologies well it's no no absolutely no problem we would like to have the
3319 North 17th heard today, obviously. I just wanted to clarify about Ontario so there were
no issues in case it was listed for today, but we can do that offline. Excuse me, this is Sharon
Saleta. Since you have brought up 17th Street, I think I should note that the exhibits, I didn't
receive the exhibits until yesterday. Did you previously submit them to the RCO mailbox? I
attempted to but i did it again yesterday just just to double to ensure okay my apologies for
that miss aleta that's fine as long as they um miss sunk it if you could confirm that you've
received them then i'm fine with that i could number four on our list i can check oleg i don't
think we received them either timely. DBA staff, could you
confirm please? So typically, if they're not received within five
days, it's a continuance prior to the hearing.
I believe I attempted to send them and if I if I didn't, my
apologies and if there's any way the the board would allow us to be heard today it would be very
much appreciated. Frank that's you all's call. Yeah but we don't have we we don't know if the RCO
received it is that we're saying? No um we were to have received it within five days. I did receive
it yesterday there was an RCO meeting um I at this point have all the documents we need
the board's call all right well we'll hear it it's number four on our list correct
thank you mr chairman all right is there are there any other cases uh requesting continuance
or withdrawals we have a matthew bailey he's been unmuted thank you mr bailey please identify
yourself with the record spell your name
Mr. Bailey please unmute your mic to speak to a continuance
Okay we'll move forward with Matthew Bailey
Mr. Bailey please spell your last name
B-A-I-L-E-Y
and you are i am uh asking in front of mi 2020 00 1262 that's 321 east worcester street
and you're you're i'm a neighbor a resident a neighbor excuse me one second i need to swear
you in you swear for him to tell the truth the whole truth nothing but the truth i do excuse
me i believe that this was on the list of continued we already continued it right
i understand that what i'm asking is this is the second
I understand that. What I'm asking is this is the second continuance.
And I'm wondering how many more continuance is this gentleman is going to take.
This is kind of difficult to get involved with this to take off from work to
Okay, just just excuse me just one minute. Tanya, is this correct that it's already been continued?
Yes, it has already been continued. But if I can recall, I could do the research,
I believe the request, Ms. Saleta, was both the RCO and the attorney?
I believe that's correct.
Yeah, so that's the purpose of the continuance.
Well, do it must be heard?
It's not necessarily required because the application just came in in July, so it's up to you, Sherry.
All right, I just want to make sure it's not one of those cases where...
No, it's not.
Mr. Clinton is the attorney of record, and he made a case as to why the continuance was being requested.
it. Typically, if they don't make a case, I will not encourage them to continue. I'll have them
come before the board and discuss the continuing. Very good. Okay, Mr. Bailey, this will be
continued. And we suspect based on Mr. Clinton, who's a reputable attorney, we'll have the hearing
at the next date. Thank you very much. Thank you. I'm sorry, but just for purposes for Mr. Bailey,
We have this continued to February the 24th at 2 p.m.
If that works for you, okay?
Tanya.
Sorry, I was writing that down.
Yeah, I guess that'll work 2 p.m., 24th of February.
All right.
Thank you so kindly.
Thank you.
Anyone else?
We have a Matthew Monroe.
He's been unmuted.
Mr. Munro, good afternoon.
