WOODHOUSE Chair PLANNING BOARD OFFICE TOWN OF SOUTHOLD MINUTES RECEIVED J:L\5p.V\'\. NOV J 6 2006 ~Q.n,.;/L ~u;;'~ow~~ Scoping Session October 16, 2006 4:30 p.m. Present were: Jerilyn B. Woodhouse, Chairperson Kenneth L. Edwards, Member George D. Solomon, Member Joseph Townsend, Member Mark Terry, Senior Environmental Planner Amy Ford, Senior Planner Anthony Trezza, Senior Planner Bruno Semon, Senior Site Plan Reviewer Linda Randolph, Secretary Chairperson Jerilvn Woodhouse: Good evening. The purpose of this meeting is to receive input from the public, involved agencies and interested parties with respect to the Draft Environmental Impact Statement to be prepared for the Gaia Holistic Circle. The Gaia Holistic Circle has a site plan application pending before this Board. In review of this proposed action, the Planning Board assumed lead agency and classified the project as a Type I Action, and in review, found that the project could result in one or more potential significant environmental impacts. As a result, a Positive Declaration was issued at the first Planning Board Meeting in September, requiring the preparation of a Draft EIS. Scoping can be initiated by either the lead agency or by an applicant. In this case, the applicant submitted a Draft Scope, thus initiating the formal scoping procedure. Under the procedures of the State Environmental Quality Review Act, or SEQRA, if scoping is conducted, the lead agency must provide an opportunity for public input and issue a Final Scope within sixty days of receipt of the Draft Scope. The Planning Board circulated the Draft Scope to involved agencies and known parties of interest several Southold Town Planninq Board Paqe Two October 16. 2006 weeks ago and published a notice for this Scoping Meeting in at least one local paper at least seven days prior to the hearing. We are here this evening to receive input on the Scope of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement only. Once the Final Scope is complete, the applicant will prepare a Draft EIS and it will be reviewed by this Board, our staff and consultants to determine if it is complete for the purpose of public review. If it is not complete, adequate or does not conform to the Final Scope, the reasons will be outlined and the applicant will be directed to revise the document for re-submission. Once a complete Draft EIS is accepted, it will be the subject of a minimum thirty-day comment period which will include a public hearing. All substantive comments on a Draft EIS must be addressed in the Final EIS which must be completed and circulated for at least ten days before any findings or decisions are issued on a project. You can see that this will mean that there are a number of opportunities for public input and, as a result, this evening we are requesting only comments on what should be studied in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement. This is not an opportunity to debate the merits of this particular project. What we are here for tonight is to decide what the issues are that need to be covered in the Final EIS. If you have reviewed the applicant's Draft Scope, you are welcome to speak this evening on those additional items which you believe should be included in the Draft EIS. I would like to point out that the Planning Staff and our consultants have reviewed the Scope and we have outlined a number of additional items to be added to the Scope and included in the document. Specifically, we are requesting a more in-depth understanding of the proposed project - information on the dredging and bulkheading aspects of the project, additional sections on construction and operation, expanded discussions on water resources, land use, transportation, visual, noise and cultural resources, as well as alternatives to the proposed project. That review is part of the Planning Board file and the Draft Scope will be revised to reflect these comments. Our staff and consultants are here tonight to hear the public's comments and will be involved throughout the DEIS review process. After tonight, we will receive written comments for a period of ten calendar days or until the close of business on October 26th after which we will ensure that a Final Scope is completed and circulated. The Final Scope is what will be used by the applicant to prepare the Draft EIS. You will have opportunities to speak - if you wish to speak, you may raise your hand and, once you are recognized, you may come forward. We ask that you provide your name and address and then tell us the specific items you wish us to have addressed in the Draft EIS that are not in the Draft Scope. We'll make note of your comments and we'll ensure that they are reflected in the final scope. Because there are a number of you, we will ask that you try to confine your remarks to three minutes and I just want to remind you that comments on the project itself are not appropriate at this particular time. We're looking for specific things that need to be addressed in the Scope of the Draft EIS. Southold Town Plan nino Board Paoe Three October 16, 2006 We have a number of agencies that we have asked to come here and also give us their comments on it. I'm going to ask that the representatives from the Trustees, the ZBA and any other agencies address us first and then we'll open it up to the public for their comments. And, again, we'll ask that if someone has already spoken on the issue that you are concerned about, we do not need you to again repeat it. Once we have that comment, we will keep track of it for you and, if you'd like, you can turn in your comments in writing to us anytime up to the next ten days. Is there someone from the Trustees who would like to address this Board? James Kino, Chairman. Board of Trustees: You already mentioned that one of our concerns is the bulkheading. Dredging issues we're going to be looking at - we're concerned about that. And some of the lighting, particularly looking from off shore towards shore because, as a fisherman, sometimes it makes it very difficult on navigation if you put a lot of lighting looking at the beach. Those would be some of our concerns. We have others that we are going to get in writing to you. Basically, it's the marine environment, the dredging, the condition of the bulkhead inside that basin, placement of dredge spoils - those are most of our concerns. Thank you. Chairperson Woodhouse: And you're going to submit something in writing? Mr. Kino: Yes. Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you. Are there any other agencies who would like to address this Board? Michael Simon, Member, Zonino Board of Appeals: We are not presenting specific comments right now. The Chair, Ms. Oliva, is out of town. We will be submitting some questions in writing within the appropriate time. Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you. Is there anyone else? Is there anyone from the public who would like to address this Board? This gentleman here first. Robert Muir. 2850 Gillette Drive. East Marion: I have submitted a letter to you, Chairman Woodhouse, with some pictures also which show some flooding. As a long- term resident and adjacent property owner, I bring to your attention the continuing concerns for the current project - the drainage and over-flow onto the bordering Gillette Drive properties - and that is re-enforced by the pictures that I gave you; the necessity to have the emergency exit on to Cleaves Point Road be a truly dated and restricted entrance and that is because of the small children and the sixty homes that are in our property area. The third item is that there be a firm provision for continued tax basis for the property no matter what the use designation might be - whether it's non-profit, health related. This is particularly important for the benefit of the school district and the protection in other support services for the community suggesting something along the Southold Town Planninq Board Paqe Four October 16. 2006 Pilot Ordinance which can be affixed to an approval. I have written the Planning Board and the Zoning Board and I've enclosed pictures. One of the problems is that the water table is only about four feet below ground at our place. Additional questions are why would there be additional parking on the east side of the emergency road and is there going to be lighting that's going to be objectionable at that time? We urge the Board to try to maintain as much of our tall evergreen trees as possible in their landscaping. I think that covers most of it. Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you, Mr. Muir. Yes? Candida Harper. 290 Cleaves Point Road. East Marion: I'm a neighbor about three houses down from the project and also a member of the Marion Manor Homeowners Association and, actually, I was elected President last week. Ms. Woodhouse: Congratulations. Ms. Hamer: Thank you very much. So, some of the concerns that have been voiced to me and some of my own concerns are, again, the water table with twenty-two new homes having gone in on Gillette and East Gillette for the last several years. Many of my neighbors and, in fact, I have experienced flooding in our basements for the first time. One of the reasons that some of us believe this might be happening is that the evaporative power of the vegetation that used to be there is no longer allowing the water to evaporate and, at the same time, we're increasing the water that we bring in from the city water supply just in our own homes and putting more of a burden on the water table. It seems to be, although I'm not sure about this, but certainly, anecdotally, it seems to be rising. I cannot imagine how many gallons of water would be pumped into a development as large as this where there could be as many as 250 people in residence and another 110 employees on site if the place were maximumally(sp.?) used - how much water that would be added to the area and how much of a rise in water level we might see as a result of that. If you look around now, you'll see that any major rain storm causes flooding and back-up on the roads and this seems to be a problem that many of my neighbors have noticed is increasing. Another deep concern I have is that, in all the plans, I have not seen anything that really addresses how and where and what will happen with these 110 needed employees and I think that this could have a tremendous impact on our roads in East Marion and on our roads in general. We know that there's no affordable housing. We know that what we are seeing is more and more cars coming down, maybe even cars without insurance, loaded with people who work during the summer and so I think that one of the big environmental impacts is where, indeed, are these employees coming from, where are their cars going to be parked? There is not actually, I think, adequate parking on site and parking on site would mean also that there would be more vegetation cut down. So, these issues are all inter-twined. Southold Town Planninq Board Paqe Five October 16. 2006 Again, one of my concerns is although the Holistic Center seems to be aimed at a very quiet kind of meditative retreat, this is the largest development anywhere on the North Fork. This dwarfs other hotels, other restaurants. Even Soundview, when it opens up and has wedding reception room, would not be as large as this restaurant. If, indeed, at some point in the future, it doesn't make it as a meditative retreat, we have a huge development on our hands and we have the potential for some very commercial operator coming in to say o.k., well, we're going to buy this and we're going to run it but, you know, we're going to open up the marina, we want to have music in the restaurant and this, indeed, could make the noise coming off Claudio's Dock in the summertime seem like a tea room. I think that we cannot only look at the impact of approving a development of this size as a meditative retreat but, indeed, where would that leave us down the road? And these are questions that I think we need to ask. Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you. Linda Goldsmith. 250 Bav Avenue. East Marion: Chairperson Woodhouse: Excuse me, Linda, would you and other people please sign your name? Linda Goldsmith. 250 Bav Avenue. East Marion: I have. Chairperson Woodhouse: O.K. Thank you. Linda Goldsmith. 250 Bav Avenue. East Marion: I'm not sure that this is the appropriate place to read a letter from the school regarding some of our concerns. Chairperson Woodhouse: Could you summarize what the issues are that you would like us to - Ms. Goldsmith: The issues that we have are the impact of the potentially increased student enrollment due to employee housing, winter rentals of rooms at the facility, as the lady just stated, in case it doesn't make it like some of the other developments in East Marion have not made it. I will not name them at this time but there are others which have not made it as resorts and are now winter rentals, transit housing - and some not so nice. Those are the concerns of the school. In addition, we would, of course, want to have pilots in place in lieu of taxes. The increasing student population - that was one of our problems. My own problems with this are probably about the same as the people who live on Gillette Drive and Shipyard Lane. I live at the end of Bay Avenue - I've seen the erosion of our rural way of life, I guess you could say, for the last thirty years. I moved from the small hamlet of Orient to the small hamlet of East Marion and the Cozy Cove Hotel at the end of our road went from a small, rural hotel to transit housing which makes living on our road somewhat unbearable. We do suffer. I do have letters for you which I will give you at the end of tonight's hearing. Southold Town Plannina Board Paae Six October 16. 2006 The other problem that I have is we also have the Blue Dolphin and we have no Noise Ordinance in Southold Town and that's a huge problem. I guess I'm not one to call the Police but I cannot open my windows in the summer. I cannot entertain in the summer. I can't do anything unless I chose to listen to the music that is played at the Blue Dolphin. That is something that I'm afraid will happen at something this size. I have other concerns as well but, in the interest of saving time, I will put them in a letter. The comments mirror some of the ones that have already been given to you. They just said them first. Thank you. Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you. Cvnthia Goldsmith-Aaosta. 1250 Shipyard Lane. East Marion. representina Summit Estates Association: We mirror, again, most of the concerns that have already been stated. They're pretty wide ranging. I have a letter that - am I able to give that to you today or do I have to send it in the mail? Chairperson Woodhouse: Yes. Ms. Goldsmith-Aaosta: O.K. You know, the noise is a concern for us; the traffic is a horrendous concern for us; will the cottages become winter rentals? I have a whole list of concerns that we have and for time's sake, I will not read all of them. Also, on a side note, I am a school teacher in Greenport School - this is for myself, not for the Association - I've saved all my life to build a house here and I hate to see something my husband and I chose to do - come back here and live in a rural atmosphere - be ruined by such horrendous traffic. Chairperson Woodhouse: Let me just remind you that tonight - Ms. Goldsmith-Aaosta: I know, I know. Chairperson Woodhouse: Please sign your name. Ms. Goldsmith-Aaosta: It's signed. Chairperson Woodhouse: O.K. The woman in the red - yes, please? Kathryn Dalli. Esa.. Twomey. Latham. Shea & Kelly. representina Cleaves Point Condominiums: Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, I am an attorney with Twomey, Latham, Shea & Kelly. I represent Cleaves Point Condominiums which is on Shipyard Lane, directly across from the proposed site. I, too, on behalf of the Condominiums, have a lot of concerns. I'm just going to touch on each one, if I may, and then we're going to follow it up with a written submission along with a copy of a Traffic Study that we've independently done. We're also going to have our own environmental person look at the site and also provide additional information and findings at the appropriate time. Southold Town Plannina Board Paae Seven October 16. 2006 I'd like to say at the out-set that it appears extremely important for the Holistic Center to be in harmony with the circles and the feng shui but it appears that it's creating disharmony outside the Center and I'll leave it at that. It's a very bucolic setting and I think it has a tremendous effect on what's going outside the Center - going on outside the Center - first and foremost, traffic. I've read the Traffic Study prepared by the applicant and I think it's very conclusory and based on unrealistic statements, unlikely that over-night guests will not be using - excuse me, that only over-night guests will be using the facility, unlikely that the restaurant will be restricted to a certain number of seats for the public. We don't know what the deliveries are going to be. It's a large facility with a restaurant; what are the activities, the maintenance vehicles for all of the amenities going up and down the street? I think that it's inevitable that the accident rate is going to increase. As you'll see in our Traffic Study, our Traffic Consultant has concluded that there's going to be likely a two to two and one-half minute wait to turn on to Route 25 from Shipyard Lane which causes people to become impatient and maybe make hasty choices in their driving which will probably - unsafe choices which is likely to cause accidents. The public transportation that's suggested is purely speculative and most unlikely given the high end nature of the facility. There are three drive-ways that are proposed and I don't understand why three curb cuts are necessary, one of which the main entrance is opposite Cleave Point Condominiums and, I think, that in and of itself creates a conflict. Chairperson Woodhouse: So, what are the other aspects that you would like us to look at in this scope? You mentioned traffic. Kathryn Dalli. Esa.: A very detailed Traffic Study. Where the access to the facility is there's, I believe, three curb cuts. One is very stout which I don't know whether or not is going to be used by delivery vehicles and how that's going to affect the wetlands. I assume that most of the people would be going thru the main entrance and delivery vehicles, if they're going to use the south entrance, may, in fact, take the first entrance. I don't know. That has to be, I think, more detailed. Chairperson Woodhouse: Traffic patterns. Ms. Dalli: Yes, the traffic patterns. Parking, again, I'm going to try and be more brief here because a lot of the concerns, obviously, are similar. The plan provides that the parking be spread out over three sides of the property. That means more lighting. Can the number of spaces be reduced or consolidated? What steps will be taken so that no one will park on Shipyard Lane, that the parking will be in the facility and not on the street? The lighting - all the roadways and parking areas must be lit according to State Law. We're concerned that the lighting will produce a glow or a halo effect so we want to know exactly what kind of lighting is going to be used. If the parking was more centralized, perhaps that would cut down on any glow or halo effect. South old Town Planninq Board Paqe Eiqht October 16. 2006 Also, what if any kind of buffer is there going to be along Shipyard Lane? What is the screening that's going to be there? With respect to the marina, I think, I believe they said that fuel is not going to be on the premises but, if it is, we of course want to know it and who would have access to those pumps. The revetment, which is a very serious issue which the Trustees, the gentleman from the Trustees, mentioned - my understanding is that the water has broken through the old bulkhead which means that the high water mark possibly has been changed and possibly the wetlands need to be re-f1agged. We want to know what the Trustees and the DEC are going to be doing about that and, obviously, the wetlands will determine where the setbacks are going to be and, in fact, if it's land where the buildings will have to be pushed back. What impact is the dredging going to have on the vegetation and wildlife and, specifically, any endangered species and the osprey nests which, I believe, are near the site? What erosion control is going to be instituted, if any? The drainage - is any drainage going to be going into the water? Will the water table be affected? Will the applicant make any improvements to the existing draining problems - excuse me, drainage problems that already exist on Shipyard Lane. Public water supply - will they install new water mains down Shipyard Lane? There's, I believe, a lot of man-made ponds that are part of the plan. There are pools, the restaurant, the housing, etc. - you're talking about a lot of water going to this facility. Under the FEMA requirements, all the structures have to maintain an elevation of at least ten feet above sea level and I don't think that that's the case in the plan. I think that the plan violates that rule, in fact, so the buildings would have to be set at a higher elevation level which is in turn going to impact the view of the neighbors of the water. The dumpster - the location of the dumpster, I think, is going to create more noise. Chairperson Woodhouse: So, you want us to look at those kinds of issues? Ms. Dalli: Yes, please. If I could suggest that the dumpster perhaps be moved closer to the building to reduce - Chairperson Woodhouse: At this point, if you could just give us the topics that you want to be included that would be very helpful. Ms. Dalli: I have one more point. I'm sorry. Chairperson Woodhouse: That's all right. One more. Ms. Dalli: The public safety as it relates to the existing structure. There is a lot of debris at the site. It's an attractive nuisance. My understanding is that roof panels have been blown off. We'd like to know what the applicant is going to do at this point to protect the public from these issues. I thank you very much for your time. Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you. Yes, Madame? Southold Town Planninq Board Paqe Nine October 16. 2006 Barbara McKenzie. Fire Road #7. East Marion: I have a summer home on Fire Road #7 which is off Shipyard Lane. My property abuts this property that we are talking about today. I have a lot of concerns about the whole idea of it is supposed to be a good neighbor, good feeling kind of a project and nobody, it seems to me that is going forth with this project, has even thought about putting a really big buffer around the whole place and putting all of the parking in the middle and taking the dumpster and the tennis courts and everything away from everybody else's view and putting it in the middle and putting a whole bunch of these little things that are really pretty and nice to look at that they propose out. Why should we, myself and my neighbors, have to sit and look at a dumpster or tennis courts or obtuse lighting in the evening? We have our nest eggs here. This isn't fair. This is a big, commercial, you know, property that is going to maybe work and, as the other lady said, you know, maybe it will work and maybe it won't but what are we going to have if it doesn't and who is going to think about that? Then we're stuck with a big restaurant and a whole bunch of people that maybe we really didn't have an idea about having in the first place. So, these are the issues that I'm concerned about and I just wanted to bring up. Chairperson Woodhouse: Is there anyone else who has information that - yes, would you like to come forward and then you, Ms. Wickham? John Edler. 130 Cleave Point Road. East Marion: I already signed up. I've lived next to the Oyster Company for forty-six years so I want to pin-point has the Board looked at the LWRP, the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program? Chairperson Woodhouse: We will be doing that. Mr. Edler: Part is on the map. It's in the ASC, which being an area of special concern. It's in a flood plain so anything they say about the hydrogeology can't be solved there. That's between surface and underwater. You just can't put sumps down. It's just on a raised water table and there's a whole thing about plants, percolation, evaporation, precipitation that have to come into it. The whole thing is going to become impervious so how do you handle the water? r listen to this; I read the Scope and you go on as if well it's like way in the farmlands and it isn't. It's in an area of special concern. Thank you. Abiqail Wickham. Esq.. Mattituck. representinq John Kent: Good evening. I'm here to represent John Kent who owns the property immediately adjoining this parcel to the north, also on Shipyard Lane. I will be submitting my comments in writing and I just want to highlight for the Board the topics that I hope you will look into in your scoping and I will try not to repeat those that have been mentioned. I'd like you to take particular note of the density in two respects, first of all as to the usage of the site and as to the parking and vehicular trips. I'd also like you to take note of the density of the site in terms of land area and just how much land is, in fact, available to the site based on the non-function of the bulkhead, the actual water line, the setbacks, etc. Southold Town Planninq Board Paqe Ten October 16. 2006 I'd like you to take into account the re-opening of the canal marina which entrance has been blocked off for some time and all of the impacts that that will have on the environment and the neighbors and the site itself. I'd like you to look at the noise factors particularly - and this is particularly important to my client who has a hearing impediment and to the other neighbors in the immediate area - from the generator, the traffic - both the moving traffic, in and out deliveries and employees and guests as well as the parked traffic - alarms, car doors, late night entrances and exits. And also with respect to the parking lay-out and its impact and perhaps alternatives to that could be considered, alternatives to ringing the space with the parking where you have it located on three sides of the facility at this point all along the residential areas. Alternatives to the service entrance and the utility structures - whether those things, the parking, the entrance and the structures could be located closer to the interior rather than to the many neighboring properties which are residential. I'd like you to look into the drainage of the property, particularly because I understand a lot of this is filled land and oyster shells don't permeate, allow water to permeate well as I understand it - operation of the drainage rings as well as the sanitary systems if that system is going to use rings into the underground sub-surface where you do have this filled material, oyster shells, high-water table, etc. So, just where is the water going to go if it is contained in rings underground? I'd like you to consider the visual impact from the water side, the shadow effect of the tall structure that is proposed and, I think, this is a proper scoping - the feasibility and uses of the property if the project fails after construction. I will write my name down and submit these in writing together with some additional back-up material. Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you. Is there anyone else who would like to address the Board? Yes? Anne Murrav. 300 Southern Boulevard. East Marion: Hi, I live in East Marion, off of Rocky Point Road. I just want to make a couple of quick points about this. In the LWRP, which we all know the Town adopted a couple of years ago, it mentions this particular area of East Marion and Orient and mentions this particular former oyster farm site and it says and I quote "Public ownership of this site may be more compatible with the surrounding residential neighborhood than commercial operation". I feel that this project is a behemoth that is being shoe-horned into a small residential neighborhood and I hope you will consider the serious significant impact that it will make on the neighborhood - children that might be playing in the street. I mean, all of these people that will be coming here, as some of the other people said, if this project turns into something else at some point, we have this giant behemoth place that could be turned into residential units at some point. Who knows? South old Town Plannina Board Paae Eleven October 16. 2006 I think this is a very serious project that needs a serious look - the environmental impacts, the wetlands, the wildlife and the human life in the neighborhood really have to be considered. As we all know, also in the LWRP, they mention the capacity of the rural two-lane highway which is severely strained at this point. I don't see how that neighborhood can handle traffic going in and out of that place. Imagine it's fully booked for a week-end. Is anyone going to be able to get in and out of their streets to do any shopping? I don't see it. I'll sign my name and I'll be submitting letters. Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you so much. Is there anyone else who would like to address the Board? James Kina. Board of Trustees: I've been in touch with the DEC and we're going to evaluate this and do field studies together on it. It's going to be a joint venture between our agency and the DEC. Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you. Is there anyone else? Yes? Eva McGuire. Fire Road #7. East Marion: I have the same concerns as other people have mentioned. I just wanted to let you know that Fire Road #7 - one of my neighbors did mentioned that they are here seasonally - there are several houses on Fire Road #7 and we all live there year round. We work here year round. We are very concerned with our quality of life, the possible, noise, light, etc. and we know there was also some mention as to a fountain that was going to be along our edge of the property. We're concerned about that. Several of the houses on our street - the houses are actually set near the back of the property and, obviously, we're concerned with everything that's been brought up previous to this. Thank you very much. Chairperson Woodhouse: Is there anyone else who would like to address the Board? Anthonv Trezza. Senior Planner: Can I ask a question? Chairperson Woodhouse: Yes. Anthonv Trezza. Senior Planner: I don't know if it's appropriate or not but does or can or should the Environmental Impact Statement - I don't know if it's illegal or not but I'm throwing it out there - assess developments that may be occurring in and around the area in addition to that proposal. I know there's a little subdivision going on, a new subdivision, so I don't know if legally you can but I'm throWing that out there also as something that might be included in the Environmental Impact Statement - an assessment of the other developments in and around the area in relation to this one. South old Town Plannina Board Paae Twelve October 16. 2006 Chairperson Woodhouse: Last call- anyone else who would like to address the Board? Let me remind you that you have the next ten days to submit any additional concerns and comments in writing. If there are other topics that you believe need to be included in the environmental review, we would appreciate hearing from you. We thank you very much. As I said earlier, there will be opportunities for you to again come to hearings and address this Board with your concerns and your comments. I want to thank you so much for coming out today. We appreciate your being here and it helps us to do our work when you're here and you're involved. Bruno Semon. Sr. Site Plan Reviewer: Excuse me, Madame Chair, I just want to let you know that the architect as well as the agent is here. I'm not sure if anybody has questions but the agent is Ms. Moore and the architect and co-worker are here if anybody has questions on the project. Unidentified Speaker from Audience: I just have one question. Where can we get a copy of the Draft Scope? Mr. Semon: The Draft Scope is on our counter. Linda, we have more copies as well, right, made? Chairperson Woodhouse: You're going to put them outside? Fine, thank you. There are site plans up here for your review. The architects are seated in the front row over here if you'd like to talk to them. We'll give you a few minutes to clear the hall and go outside and after a five-minute break, we'll resume our regular work with the Work Session. Thank you all very much for coming. There being no further business to come before the Board, the Scoping Session was adjourned at 5:10 p.m. Respectfully submitted, ~~ Carol Kalin Secretary 4. ,;;j/~
