THAT WORKS. AND IT. AND TOO MUCH OF THAT WILL WILL CAUSE THINGS TO GET WARM, INCLUDING PEOPLE.
[00:21:09]
UNFORTUNATELY, WE'VE LIVED THERE THREE WHEN WE LIVED THERE THREE YEARS, AND WE'RE 600FT FROM THAT[00:21:16]
TOWER. I MYSTERIOUSLY CAME UP WITH CANCER ON MY JAW THAT HAD TO BE REMOVED. THAT'S WHY I TALK[00:21:24]
A LITTLE FUNNY, BECAUSE I GOT ONE OF THOSE GIZMOS IN MY MOUTH. I DON'T THINK I COULD HAVE[00:21:29]
PRONOUNCE WHAT IT IS EVEN BEFORE I HAD THE ISSUE. SO THERE'S ALSO A QUESTION OF IF THERE'S A DANGER FOR BOTH THE FOR THE RACE FROM THE TOWER. AND I HATE TO SEE THEM PUT THE FIRE STATION THERE. AND SUDDENLY FIVE YEARS FROM NOW, THEY HAVE A BUNCH OF SICK FIREMEN AND THEY SAY, I WONDER HOW THAT HAPPENED. YES. EVERYBODY SAYS IT'S INCONCLUSIVE. THEY DON'T KNOW YET. BUT WITH THE TECHNOLOGY WE'RE SEEING, I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED THAT THEY'RE SURPRISED US LIKE THERE WAS WITH ASBESTOS AND LET IT PAINT, WHAT, YEARS AFTER THE FACT. SO AND THE FACT THAT I DON'T THINK HAVING 100 YELLOW BUSSES ON THAT INTERSECTION WOULD BE AS NICE AS HAVING MAYBE A TEMPORARY PARK OR SOMETHING THAT WOULD ADD TO THAT PART. THERE'S A BIG EMPTY PARKING LOT WHERE DISCOVER WAS THAT THEY COULD PROBABLY PARK ALL THOSE BUSSES, PLUS A FEW MORE, BUT I DON'T THINK THE HAMLET IS INTERESTED IN THAT EITHER. SO BASICALLY, WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT OUR HEALTH. WE'VE ALSO NOTICED THAT I DID SOME RESEARCH THAT HAVING SOMETHING LIKE A BUS BARN NEAR A RESIDENTIAL AREA COULD, IN FACT, LOWER OUR PROPERTY VALUES. THIS MAY SOUND SURPRISING, BUT WHEN THEY WERE BUILDING THE DOING ALL THE CONSTRUCTION, WE HAD AN ISSUE. WITH THE COMMUNITY CENTER. AND THIS I APOLOGIZE FOR GOING OFF. YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING? WE WAS WE HAD WE'RE ON OUR THIRD HOA AND THE SECOND THE FIRST HOA. THE TAX BILLS WERE SUPPOSED TO GO TO THE HOA OFFICE, WHICH DIDN'T EXIST. SO THE QUESTION WAS, WERE THEY GOING TO PAY THE TAXES ON THE COMMUNITY CENTER? SO WE PAY OURS ONLINE, AND A WEEK LATER, I ALWAYS GO TO SEE IF THEY QUOTED HIM CORRECTLY. AND IT WENT OVER TO SEE IF THE TAXES HAD BEEN PAID ON THE COMMUNITY CENTER. AND TO MY SURPRISE, THEY WERE ALL OF, I THINK, $300 AND A HALF, WHICH DIDN'T MAKE SENSE. SO I CALLED THE AUDITOR'S OFFICE AND ASKED THEM TO PULL UP THE PAGE, AND HE SAID, I CAN TELL YOU WHY IT'S ONLY $300. IT'S AN EMPTY LOT. I ABOUT FELL OFF MY CHAIR WHEN HE SAID THAT, AND ASKED HIM TO GO TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PAGE AND SEE WHERE IT SAID PICTURES, AND HIS VOICE CHANGED. HE SAID, WHERE DID THE BUILDING COME FROM? I SAID, CAN YOU GO UP WHERE IT SAYS BUILDING PERMITS? AND HE SAYS, IT'S BEEN THERE FOR TWO YEARS. AND MY QUESTION WAS, HOW DOES THE CITY NOTIFY YOU THAT THERE'S A BUILDING THERE TO BE APPRAISED? AND HE TOLD ME, HE SAYS THAT'S NOT MY DEPARTMENT, BUT I WILL HAVE THAT ANSWER WITHIN AN HOUR.I THINK HIS VOICE CHANGED A LITTLE BIT. SO A WEEK LATER I WENT BACK AND IT SAID 3000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING, PARKING LOT, PICKLEBALL COURTS, LANDSCAPING. BUT THERE WAS NO NUMBER. I WOULD LIKE ALL OF YOU TO GUESS WHAT THE NUMBER WAS FOR THE FIRST SECOND HALF, NOT INCLUDING PENALTIES. IT WAS $44,000. YEAH. AND JOE, WE APPRECIATE LIKE THIS IS ALL
[00:25:08]
GREAT. YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M GOING TO DO. BUT WHAT I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND IS LIKE THIS. THIS GROUP HAS I DO, BUT AND WE LOVE TO HEAR, LIKE, CASES ON COUNCIL AND I'M ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION. IT'S GOOD. BUT YOU MENTIONED A COUPLE AND THERE'S A COUPLE DIFFERENT BOARDS YOU REALLY WANT TO GET IN FRONT OF AND BE HEARD. AND ONE IS YOU WANT TO GO TO THE TOWNSHIP MEETING. THEY THEY RUN THE FIRE. WELL, WE'RE GOING TO GO ALL OF THEM. SEE, THIS IS NEW TO ALL OF US. YEAH. YEAH. SO WE WANT YOU TO BE AWARE THAT THERE'S GOING TO EVENTUALLY BE 240 HOUSES THERE. YEAH. AND THAT'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR HEALTH. WE ALL HAVE HEALTH PROBLEMS ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. YEAH WE DO. AND WE'D LOVE TO HAVE THIS IS JUST THE BACKGROUND THAT THINGS AREN'T ALWAYS DONE THE WAY THEY THEY SHOULD BE. THE OTHER PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT I TOLD YOU HAS THE NORTH, THE NORTH WALK ON IT HAS BEEN LISTED AS PART OF NOTTINGHAM TRACE COMMUNITY. IF YOU LOOKED ON THE WEBSITE, IT EVEN SHOWS IT AS A LOT 58 WHICH WE ARE QUESTIONING WHETHER WHAT IT WAS SOLD BY THE NEW ALBANY COMPANY. THEY PUT THAT 58 ON THERE SO THAT IT WOULD BE TAXED AS RESIDENTIAL AND NOT COMMERCIAL. AND THE ZONING I UNDERSTAND IS PRICED DIFFERENT THAN IF IT WAS COMMERCIAL. THEY'D BE PAYING MORE TAXES.BASICALLY. AND I'M GOING TO SHUT UP HERE A SECOND. THERE'S A LOT OF FISHY STUFF GOING ON. AND I ALSO WONDER WHY THEY CAN'T BUILD A ADDITION TO THE BUS BARN ON JOHNSTOWN ROAD, BECAUSE THE VILLAGE OF NEW ALBANY OWNS ADJACENT PROPERTY. SO THEY HAVE THERE'S ROOM THERE. THEY COULD EXPAND IT AND LEAVE IT WHERE IT IS. WELL, I MEAN, THANK YOU. OBVIOUSLY, THE TOWNSHIP PASSED A LEVY AND THEY'VE, YOU KNOW, THEY'VE MADE AND THEY GOT SOME LAND FROM THE NEW ALBANY COMPANY. RIGHT. SO THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS IN ACTION, I DON'T KNOW. THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS BOUNCING AROUND AND THERE'S A LOT OF PLANNING THAT GOES INTO WHAT I WOULD SAY IS IF YOU REALLY WANT TO BE HEARD, LIKE YOU NEED TO GO TO A TOWNSHIP MEETING AND GET IN FRONT OF THE TRUSTEES. THEY'RE THE ONES MAKING THOSE DECISIONS. IT'S ON OUR LIST AND WE HAVE A BIG MEETING COMING UP. YEAH. AND SO YOU WANT TO GO? YOU WANT TO BE HEARD BY THE TOWNSHIP. THAT'S NUMBER ONE. SECONDLY, YOU WANT TO WATCH FOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO HEAR THAT BEFORE WE APPROVE TO PASS IT ON TO CITY COUNCIL. AND SO IF YOU IF YOU WANT TO BE HEARD, THOSE ARE THE TWO PLACES YOU WANT TO BE HEARD. WELL, I'LL PUT A THIRD. AND UNFORTUNATELY, I THINK THE ONES GOING ON RIGHT NOW. A SCHOOL BOARD MEETING. I THINK THEY MET TONIGHT AT 5 OR 530. SO BUT I THINK THEY HAVE ANOTHER ONE IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS. SO AND I GUESS I DON'T WANT TO CUT YOU OFF, BUT MESSAGE HEARD LOUD AND CLEAR. AND WE'RE WORKING WITH OTHER FOLKS IN NOTTINGHAM. TRACE. AND LIKE I SAID, IT'S TOUGH FROM A CITY PERSPECTIVE BECAUSE WE DON'T REALLY HAVE ANYTHING PRESENTED TO US YET. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE INFORMAL REVIEWS. SO IT HASN'T COME TO LIKE A PLANNING COMMISSION OR BUT WE HAVE COMMUNICATED, YOU KNOW, WE WORK REALLY CLOSELY WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND, AND THEY UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS. AFTER THEY MET WITH US AND WE HEARD SOME FEEDBACK THAT SOME FOLKS IN THE COMMUNITY HADN'T REALLY I THINK IT WAS ALLUDED TO THAT THERE WAS A MEETING WITH THE ARCHITECT IN THE COMMUNITY THAT I DON'T THINK TOOK PLACE. WE STRESSED THAT COMMUNICATION HAS TO BE OPEN, AND I THINK THE DISTRICT IS COMMITTED TO MAKING A COMMITMENT TO THE ARCHITECT. MEETING WITH I THINK THEY WERE GOING TO REACH OUT TO THE HOA WITH WHOEVER'S AT NOTTINGHAM TRACE RUNNING THE HOA NOW AND HAVING A MEETING AT, YOU KNOW, THE CLUBHOUSE OR WHEREVER IT SUITS BEST. AGAIN, WHEN THEY KIND OF DRILL DOWN AND GET MORE OF A FINALIZED PLAN. BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, A LOT OF THIS IS MOVING FAST. AND, YOU KNOW, THE NORTHERN WE'RE CALLING IT THE OLD SCHLEPPI ENTRANCE. WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT THE CITY DIDN'T SEE THAT AT THE AT OUR COUNCIL MEETING. SO. STAY TUNED. STAY ACTIVE. WE WILL, YOU KNOW, ANYTHING THAT POPS UP? I THINK WE WERE GOING TO PUT A DEDICATED PLACE ON THE WEBSITE. POTENTIALLY FOR THIS. CHRIS. YEAH, I KNOW SOMETHING JOSH WAS TALKING ABOUT. YEAH. YEAH. SO FOR JUST THIS PROJECT FOR THE BUS GARAGE IN THE POLICE OR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SUBSTATION. THAT WILL KEEP KIND OF EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE WHERE YOU KNOW WHAT'S COMING DOWN THE LINE. BUT AGAIN, THE TOWNSHIP WOULD BE GREAT TO TOUCH BASE WITH THEM. AND THEN
[00:30:02]
AT A SCHOOL BOARD MEETING. BUT THE SCHOOL BOARD SHOULD BE REACHING OUT TO YOU SOMETIME YOUR HOA SOMETIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE TO SCHEDULE A MEETING. AND THE LAST THING I WOULD SAY WITH THE CONCERN ABOUT THE INS AND THE OUTS, I MEAN, THERE WILL BE TRAFFIC STUDIES AND THEY'LL MAKE SURE IF EVERYTHING GOES FORWARD, THEY WILL MAKE SURE IT'S NOT BUSSES BACKING UP AND CAUSING HAVOC. I MEAN, THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO THE CITY TO MAKE SURE IT DOES. YEAH. SO TO GET HIT WITH IT, WHAT APPEARED TO BE HALFWAY THROUGH THE PLANNING AND EVERYTHING. GOTCHA.AND SO WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING EVERYBODY TOGETHER. THAT'S GREAT. MAKE THIS SPECIAL.
YEAH, WE I MEAN, WE LOVE HEARING FROM YOU, AND YOU NEED TO BE HEARD. I MEAN, WE SIT IN FRONT OF SOME OF THESE, THESE MEETINGS, AND THE CITIZENS COME UP AND CAN SWAY, YOU KNOW, WE'RE HUMANS AND WE WANT TO HEAR THE CONCERNS AND WE. POLLUTION AND AIR QUALITY AND THE SOUND AND SOMEONE ELSE'S CONCERN ABOUT THE POND THAT WE HAVE THAT FOR OUR LAWNS AND WE STUDY THEM AND THEY HAVE WATER. YEAH. AND THAT'S THAT'S PROBABLY A GREAT QUESTION FOR CITY STAFF. THEY WORK CLOSELY WITH THE CITY ENGINEERS. AND YOU IF YOU DON'T HAVE THEIR CONTACTS, GET THEIR CONTACTS AND THEY'RE VERY ACCESSIBLE TO EMAIL AND TALK TO. AND THE IRONY IS RELATED TO THE TOXICITY IS SOMETHING OR HOW COMPROMISED THE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER BECAUSE, YOU KNOW. AND THEN SO MANY OF US. SO THERE'S A CONCERN TO END. YEAH, SURE. THE OPPOSITE OF THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OF. OF YOU GET IT? YEAH WE DO. WE COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND. YEAH. WE APPRECIATE HEARING IT FOR SURE. YEAH. WELL THANK YOU FOR YOUR FEEDBACK. YEAH. THANK YOU. AND WE'LL GET YOUR EMAIL ADDRESSES OVER TO CHRIS. AND HE'LL HOPEFULLY CHRIS YOU CAN KIND OF GUIDE THEM THROUGH WHAT'S GOING ON. OKAY.
APPRECIATE YOU GUYS SHOWING UP TONIGHT. IT'S HELPFUL TO HEAR FROM OUR CITIZENS AND STAY ACTIVE. WE LOVE OUR TOWN. AND. SO MANY OF US ARE FEELING LIKE WE MIGHT HAVE TO SELL A HOME.
WELL, I DON'T LIKE TO HEAR THAT. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH, THAT. I UNDERSTAND THAT. YEAH.
YEAH. THANKS AGAIN FOR ATTENDING. I DON'T WANT YOU TO FEEL LIKE THIS THING IS LIKE. I MEAN, I KNOW IT'S IN THE WORKS, BUT, LIKE, IT'S STILL EVOLVING, AND THE DESIGNS ARE, YOU KNOW, STILL CHANGING. LIKE I SAID, WE'RE SEEING NEW THINGS. AND SO HOPEFULLY FEEDBACK LIKE THIS WILL HELP US LAND ON SOMETHING THAT YOU HERE YOU JUST CAME TO SEE. YEAH. THAT'S GREAT. YEAH FOR SURE. AND ALL THE OTHER BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS ARE VERY SIMILAR TO THIS. IT'S JUST EACH ONE KIND OF DOES THEIR OWN THING. AND NOW, YOU KNOW, THEY WERE LOOKING TO DO SOMETHING THAT WAS OUTSIDE OF WHAT IT WAS CURRENTLY ZONED TO DO, AND ASK A VARIANCE FOR AN INGRESS EGRESS.
AND THAT MAY COME DOWN THE ROAD AT SOME POINT TO THE BCA, BUT THIS WON'T BE A STOP ANY TIME SOON FOR THIS PROJECT. THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT. YEAH. OKAY. THANK YOU FOLKS. ANY OTHER BUSINESS TONIGHT? BOARD. DOWN HERE. OKAY. MOVE TO ADJOURN OUR MEETING FOR TONIGHT. SECOND.
