Everyone and welcome to this meeting of the Syracuse Planning Commission.

We will begin our applications and public hearings momentarily.

First, we'll take action on the minutes from our last meeting, which was August 18th.

Draft minutes have been circulated to the commission members and be appropriate now to entertain a motion for action on the minutes.

I have a couple of uh corrections to the minutes.

Um page seven uh in the the discussion of the parking lot related to the municipal parking lot project.

Uh there's reference to my comment about bike parking and the uh requirement of the one to six ratio, and then a little bit further down the last sentence on the page says 100 parking spots are proposed.

Commissioner Lance found that the ratio of one to six does apply to this project and would be necessary as a special condition.

There was some question about that, and I think that statement should actually read Commissioner Lynch was informed by corporate counsel that uh the one to six ratio does indeed apply.

Thank you for that.

Any other uh yeah, the second item is on page nine in the uh comments of people who spoke in opposition to the project.

Uh there's reference to Kathleen at Monticello Drive.

That's Kathleen Stibley Stribly.

Stribly, right?

Uh so that occurs on page nine.

There's also a reference to her on page 14 that just has her first name.

Uh so if we could add her second name uh to that.

And then uh the other item is on page 10 in uh uh discussion of the Lafayette project.

There's a reference at the end to uh the approval of the uh major site plan review that should read master plan review, not a major site plan review.

Because I think that is the appropriate language they're using for that kind of project.

Uh so those are my corrections.

If that's acceptable to everybody, I move approval of minutes with those three corrections.

Four corrections.

Sorry, second.

That's a second uh discussion on the motion before us for the minutes.

If not, all in favor, please indicate by saying aye.

Aye, those opposed, please say nay.

Any abstentions are approved as revised.

Uh we move now on to uh first old business, then new business.

Just a moment, uh, just a word for anyone unfamiliar with our process as each application is announced by a member of the staff.

We ask that the applicant or the representative come to the podium in the center of the room, provide their name and address uh for the record, and then a brief summary of the application.

Following questions from the commission members, we will invite members of the public who wish to speak in favor of the application to do so.

And similarly, we will invite members of the public who wish to speak in opposition to the application to do that as well.

We ask that everyone keep their comments brief to three minutes, and where comments are offered in opposition, we will uh encourage the applicant to return and address the comments offered in opposition.

With that, uh are there any changes to the agenda that we need to know about or uh just one, and that is for uh under new business, the Syracuse Developmental Center SDC project.

Uh that is just being postponed.

Uh we expect it to be on um possibly the next agenda.

Okay, so if you're here for that item, we won't be dealing with it.

There will be no presentation tonight, um, but it will be advertised again when it comes back around, right?

Yes, and that's uh strictly for the street dedication uh and the re-subdivision modification.

So that we can focus first on our old business.

Yes, uh, I'm just going to tee this one up because um it's back before uh all of you.

So this is the South Av apartment project.

Uh there are two applications, uh companion pieces, one uh being a major site plan review, the other being a re-subdivision.

If you recall back on August 18th, uh you conducted the seeker review uh and declared uh had a negative declaration for this.

Um we held this pending a uh BZA review for an area variance for to seek relief for maximum building length.

Uh BZA reviewed that and approved that on September 4th.

Um and all city reviewing departments are finished, and there are no significant concerns or um comments to be addressed moving forward.

So now we're able to take uh and finish public uh comment and you may deliberate deliberate and make a decision on the two pieces without seeker, because we already did that.

Joe we had the presentation last time.

I don't think there's a need to repeat that unless there's anything new with the project.

Um so with that, in terms of public comment for this evening.

Uh well, first let me ask my colleagues on the commission any uh questions that may have arisen since our meeting in August.

No, thank you.

Um the only question I had is uh a reference to the uh the bike uh rack storage.

I'm not finding anything on the plans about exactly where that is, and so if you could just address that.

Sure.

There will be a bike room on the downstairs of the architectural great.

Thank you.

Since you're speaking again, could you just Christian Freeman 121 Ruskin of Keplinger Freeman Associates?
