Okay, next we'll move to public hearings, ordinances first reading. We have zoning case PD 15-11 R1, Cobra expansion and fueling center, 945 West Lamar Boulevard. And I'll call upon Ms. Topel. Item 11.1 is a request to revise the development plan that was approved for the Corrigor expansion on Lamar Boulevard in April of 2016. The applicant has flipped the internal circulation of the building, does relocating the pharmacy drive-through area and the click list pick up spaces. The applicant, Philip Graham, for a bit. We are an associates here to present the case. If you could state your name and address for the record, thank you. Good evening, Council. My name is Philip Graham. I'm with Wearing Associates. We're located at 2201 East Lamar, Arlington. I'm here representing the Cobra Company store for the expansion there on it Lamar near our 30 just west of Cooper. We originally got this PD side plan approved for the expansion but the internals of the store weren't fully developed at the time as they proceeded to develop the As they proceeded to finish off the interior design It became apparent that it would be best if for the remodel if they could internally flip it from one side of the store to the other and allow it for a cleaner remodel, a ability to keep the store more in operations during construction and create an ability to expand it even more in the additional goods and services. This picture here is of the store. The expansion will occur to the right side where you currently can see the canopy over the current pharmacy drive through. As part of it, they've purchased a North Star bank and it will be demolished and be created as part of the parking lot. The area here is where the expansion of the store will occur plus additional parking and drive lanes. This location is where they proposed but a second fuel center adjacent to the existing strip center. This is the proposed PD-SOT plan where we expanded it out further. This area here is where the click list and pharmacy were. They're now proposing to put it here in the pharmacy window pickup at this location. and the pharmacy window pick up at this location. This color exhibit is to illustrate how much green space will still be in place. One of the things that came up as we work with staff on this revision is they wanted an additional landscape buffer and screening adjacent to that existing strip center. We relocated the parking stalls and provided added a living screen between the fuel center and that's the backside of that strip center. This is a landscape plan. The elevations you can see where the expansion is to the right side of that there and also down toward the bottom. If this location, that's the drive-through for the pharmacy. And the click list will be back here in this corner here. There will be a ramp. This elevation actually hasn't been updated. The ramp won't be configured quite like that. The click list, if you're not familiar with it, it's an online ordering system. You will submit your order. Pick your grosses out, submit your order, pick your grosses out, submit your order and you'll pick a pre-select time. They offer one hour windows at which time to come pick them up. When you show up, there'll be designated parking stalls with a phone number that you call and they'll bring out your groceries. They can carefully control how many people show up at any time during any one hour window. That's the location of where the click list will be back here in this back corner, and you can see where the pharmacy, there's plenty of stacking spaces for that. To help people find the location, we did provide a signage plan in the current middle. These are pictures, example pictures of what the signage looks like, that will direct everyone to the pickup location. The upper left is going to be typically what this location is going to look like and that's the pickup location sign with a phone number,'ll have a phone number that you can call and tell him you've arrived. This is a fuel center showing the additional landscape buffer we provided we're going to be planning Nellie R Stevens Hollies to provide that living screen. And the desire of Croger is that as these things mature, they want to prune them up to about two and a half, three feet above ground. That way, prevent anybody from being able to hide behind them because this fuel center does operate well into the night and they want to protect the patrons and their employees. Okay. Any questions? Mr. Parker. Thank you, Mayor. Mr. Graham, the expansion of Croger has been greatly anticipated by all the people that are living this particular community. And I was wondering if you might be able to give us some kind of a time frame. I know that the Kroger headquarters has been very conservative in their in their expansions. So can you give us some kind of a time frame as to when this could start and when it might be finished? This time they haven't given me, they haven't been able to establish a timeframe on it. Their priorities have been greatly impacted last year, Houston area, took up a lot of their resources, refurbishing the stores that were damaged, and they have a lot of other construction that they're trying to complete. They have not established a timeline on when they are planning on starting this expansion. Okay, sir. I must admit that everybody is awaiting the improvement of the Kruger store. It's a valued asset within that particular community. And so they are looking forward to the improvement and upgrade of it. So it's quite an asset. Mr. Shepherd. Thank you, Mayor. And it may be in your presentation, and I missed it. But what are the pharmacy hours that your drive-through is going to be open? Pharmacy, it was, let's see. Pharmacy, I believe, is open from 9 a.m. Correct, it's a correct. It's 9 to 9 o'clock in the evening. Yeah. Typically from 9 to 9. Okay. And then the click list pickup will be available until how late at 9. 9 at 9 p.m. Click list is open operations from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Okay, and I see that you got a letter of support from Pebblebrook there. Were there any concerns raised by that community concerning the loudness of the pharmacy speaker system or anything like that? And if so, was any of that addressed? No, there were no concerns raised. Okay. Okay. Okay, thank you. Thank you. Ms. Garcia, are there any other speakers on this item? No, Mayor, we have no other speakers. Okay. Then I'll close the public hearing and call for a motion. I have a motion for approval from Councilmember Parker and a second from Councilmember Glassby Police Catcher votes. Motion passes. Next we go to the zoning case PD 17-14, the Green Oak School, 500 Houston Street. Ms. Jensi Topel. Thank you, Mayor. Item 11.2 is a rezoning request to a PD with a development plan for the Green Oak School, generally located south of East Sanford Street and East of North Cooper Street. The existing Green Oak school caters to individuals with intellectual disabilities. Through this PD, they are proposing a 57-bed private dormitory to serve the students enrolled in the Green Oak's adult learning program or the goal program. The applicant Justin Gilmore with Level 5 Group, is here to present the case. Gilmore, if you could present your name and address for the record, please. Thank you very much. My name is Justin Gilmore, at Level 5 Design Group. Address is 2016 Royal Crest Drive in Mansfield, Texas. Be honored to hear today to present our facility for the Green Oak School. This plane development is actually for the current school. Currently houses, our service is 101 enrolled students at the school throughout their various programs. That really services Arlington and the communities beyond for, again, students with intellectual disabilities and delays. What the school is actually looking to do is start a new college program. Be one of its only, one of a kind in this area. It is something that, again, it's a model that's based off of the only closest school which we know is in Wisconsin. So that is really what we're looking to do is to start this new college program. We're looking to establish a dormitory style living quarters on this existing campus. It's about 2.2 acres of land located in central Arlington itself. And we want to establish again, like Jensie said a 57-bed dormitory style building. The exterior of the building would be a masonry exterior. Meets all the current ordinances and zoning ordinances for this district. The reason we are looking for a planned development is the fact that a college dormitory is not allowed within the current zoning, which is an underlay of an RMF 12. And so that's the main reason for this. Again, all the exterior materials and elevations would meet all the code requirements and zoning ordinances. The building would be located on the site with existing parking. There is an existing parking lot that we're going to be taking away a few parking spaces, but we would actually be adding those onto the back onto the site itself. The actual facades have quite a bit of glazing and glass and windows on each of the street facades. And yes, each one of the street facades, it does not meet the current zoning ordinance of 25% glazing requirement on each one of those street facades. There are some security concerns with that. And again, that is one of the other elements and the reasoning for the planned development. So those are some of the, again, some of the highlights. Yeah, this is the exterior elevations of the building itself. This would be the front entrance that actually faces internal to the property itself. These cars would actually be on site, not street frontage. So the main entrance would not be off of the main arterial street. the staff. So the main interest would not be off of the main arterial street. It would be internal to the property itself. Again, another safety and security concern for these students on the campus. So that's the main gist of again, what we're applying for this plan development. If there's any questions, be happy to answer those at this time. Any questions? Mr. Glasping. Thank you, Mayor. Mr. Gilmore, the, of these students, will they be additional? Because you said there's 101 now, you speak in terms of additional students, or how will be the makeup of the student body totally? Sure. At this time, it's tough to estimate the actual total estimated student body. These students would be in addition to the 101 students. Currently, 101 students are through their K through 12 and their goal program, which is their adult learning program. This is a new program that the school is establishing through a college scenario. The college itself is actually to teach these students life skills. Thus the need for the dormitory it has internal sleeping quarters, laundry facilities, cooking facilities. It's really a learning dormitory again just to teach those life skills and individual independent living. I guess the other question I have view interacted with the neighborhood and what kind of responses are you getting with potentially doing this? Sure. Again, the addition of the building itself is something that has been received. Most of the actual block itself is commercially-zoned, already planned development commercially-zoned. There are a few additional neighbors throughout the history of the school being there for the past two to three years. There's not been an issue with the traffic of this school nor will this increase any of the traffic. These students are living on campus. There is not a need for cars. This is not like a college normal college dormitory where they have additional students they're driving to and from classes off this dormitory. These students live here. There would be three additional parking spaces that would be for the resident assistant by floor that would be staying full time 24 seven with these students. But those would be the only increased traffic that you would see. Just for the record, what where exactly would I'm kind of familiar with that configuration there? So where exactly would the building be? Let's see. Yeah, so this is, so the new building itself is actually going to be located on this corner of the property there. The existing school is this large L shape So the new building itself is actually going to be located on this corner of the property there The existing school is this large L shape that you see here So you've got a large courtyard space here and then the school would be down in that bottom left-hand corner Yes, true Miss Thalman Thank you mayor. I have a question about the windows before you mentioned the facade On each side of the building doesn't have their acquired amount of glass is that correct? Okay, so the dorm rooms themselves. Do they not have windows? They absolutely have windows. Yes, ma'am. There's a requirement for 25% glazing on each one of the major street facades. Currently we need about 15% on each one of the facades. Getting the windows a lot larger basically increases and it makes the entire almost the entire facade of the dormitory the living rooms all glass. So having those is just a little bit of a security and a privacy concern being a dormitory right there. Okay, thank you. Absolutely. Any other questions from Mr. Gilmore? Ms. Walman. Well these students be living their year round or is this just going to be like a traditional like school year from September to June or is it year round? I believe I have that answer. I'm going to actually ask the director of the facility itself. I'm just a Jewel. So... So it's going to be like the college program August through the end of May. So August through the end of May. OK. Yeah. OK. Thank you. Absolutely. OK. Any other questions from Mr. Gilmore? OK. Thank you, Mr. Gilmore. Mr. Garcia, are there any speakers on this item? For the record, Mayor, we just have one non-speaker in support present today, one non-speaker. Okay. If we could state her name and I'd love for her to raise her hand. Gene Jewel. Well, imagine that, Ms. Gene Jewel. All right, great, thank you. All right, seeing no other speakers, then I will close the public hearing and I'll call for a motion. Did you have a question, Mr. Parker? Council Member Parker? No question, I would just simply like to say that the Green Oaks School does a remarkable job. This facility is something that's very unique. It's closest sister facility would be up in Wisconsin as he stated. It is something that will teach these students life skills, which are remarkably needed in their lives. And I think that the Green Oak School is doing a wonderful job of educating these students and getting them on the road to life to where they can take care of themselves independently. So I strongly support this particular project and I have made a motion. We have a motion for approval from Council Member Parker. Do we have a second? Have a listed Council Member Wolfe, that's a second? Council Member Wolfe, second. I'm sorry it's not coming up on the screen here yet. All right, please cast your votes. Motion passes and I too want to echo Council Member Parker's sentiments there. It's amazing what is going on at the Green Oak School and what a difference it's made now for quite a long time. And here, just a few months ago, we had a meeting up here at City Hall with citizens and in that meeting, we had a lot of citizens asking for a school like this for adults, where they could live. And I was able to turn to Ms. Jule and say, could you describe what you wanna do here? And then here she comes in with it. And Jean, thank you for all the work that police pass that on to the teachers and all of the staff there. Really appreciate it. It's awesome for you to be here in our community and doing what you're doing there. And thank you again for this investment. Thank you a lot. Okay, next we'll move to specific use permit SUP. 0831 R1 cornerstone drill site 5427 Matlock Road. It's toplinek you have some news for us there right? The applicant Kevin Strasasser from Total has requested it continues to February 27th mayor. Okay. So this will be continued until the next two weeks. We also have received 499 people sitting an email against it and then we had another 55 that came in against it. And then I don't know how many speakers I'm sorry I've got tickle my throat here. We'd love for you to come back in two weeks if he comes back in two weeks. But anybody who can't make it back if you all want to speak right now will let you let you go if you're not going to be able to make it back here in a couple of weeks. Okay. So you want to come up and state your name and address for the record then? Thank you Mayor William and Council members for letting me return. My name is Ingrid Kelly. I live on Belomey to 76014 in Arlington. To the leaders of Arlington, the dream city. Definitions of dreams include but are not limited to, a cherished aspiration, ambition or ideal, or an unrealistic or self-deluding fantasy. How does forgoing established ordinances on the setbacks relate to being a dream city? The knowledge of negative health effects in the shell gas areas are expanding since those ordinances were established. Some of the chemicals are volatile organic compounds. These are endocrine and hormone reproductive disruptors, all capable of causing cancer and illnesses. Theocoleburn's research team has documented the following results regarding VOCs or volatile organic compounds. 52% adversely affect the nervous system. There are higher incidences of brain tumors, learning disorders, depression, dizziness, seizures, behavioral changes. If these chemicals become airborne, those risks increased by 81%. 75% affects our skin sensory organs, respiratory system, gastrointestinal and liver. Such things as rashes, eye irritations, nose bleeds, asthma, increases in COPD in non-smokers and sore throats. It's not just allergies. Naga, nausea, gallbladder disease, non-alcoholic liver cirrhosis are potentiated. 37% attacks are endocrine system, which not only affects our reproductive development, but pancreas and thyroid. There is evidence of increased premature birth, birth defects, infertility, and diseases of the pancreas and thyroid. 40% harm our kidneys and if airborne, that increases that risk to 66%. 46% of these chemicals negatively affect our cardiovascular and blood systems. Correlations of heart disease and poor air quality are well known and these increase by 71% when those toxins are in our air. Higher rates of leukemia near wells is also a finding. Our immune system is targeted by 40% of these chemicals. Cancer that were once rare are become in common place. Autoimmune disorders are rampant. We cannot afford to turn a blind eye to the environmental health crisis. These are things we can and should control. Is this the dream you want for your children and loved ones? How will your decision affect the dreams of our children? How will your decision affect the health and quality of life for those of us that live in this dream city? Thank you. Thank you. And the lady here in the front if you want to come up and give state your name and address. Hi. Thank you for letting us go ahead and speak. It's really hard to come back. My name is Sharon Wilson. I live at 10455 North Central Expressway in Dallas, Texas. I'm Senior Organizer and Certified Optical Gas Imaging Thermographer for Earthworks Oil and Gas Accountability Project. Some of you may have seen some of the videos I've taken around at existing facilities in Arlington. These videos show the pollution coming from these oil and gas facilities that you can't normally see without the camera. Most prudent operators no longer allow their workers to wear beards when they're on the facilities. This is because in the event of a release they have to put on one of these and this has to make a tight seal it has to suck down on your face so that the gases can't get in. If there's any hair in there, then you can't get a tight seal and the gases may get in there. Eight grown men have died recently in separate events when they were working on an all-in-gas site where these hydrocarbon gases were released. This is important to note because this is the drill site children playing on this playground or living in these homes and playing in their backyards. They're not likely to have one of these. When this urban drilling adventure got going, we didn't have a lot of information. It was back in about 2008-2009. There were only a tiny handful of peer-reviewed studies. An analysis of all the peer-reviewed studies on oil and gas activity since 2009, from 2009 to 2015, that's two years ago, an analysis of all those studies found the following. 84% of public health studies contained findings that indicate public health hazards, elevated risks, or adverse health outcomes. 69% of water quality studies contained findings that indicate potential positive association or actual incidents of water contamination, and 87% of air quality studies contain findings that indicate elevated air pollution emissions and or at atmospheric concentrations. So now there's a lot more peer-reviewed science. Just last week a study came out that showed exposure to fracking. Chemicals causes breast tissue changes in mice, particularly if the mice were young when they were exposed. So I hope that y'all will do the right thing. Thank you. Mr. Shepherd, yes, ma'am. I'm probably am confused, but the exhibit that you showed us with the playground? with the playground? Where is that playground? Is that playground within 319 feet of the existing well-signed? This is at the cornerstone Baptist Church. You can see the relationship. Yeah, here's another one. If you want to pass this around. Well, no, I'm actually looking on Google Maps and don't see that. So that's why I'm confused. It's hard to see the playground on Google Maps. You can see a little round red ground circle. If you zoom in to the north. Do you know where the cornerstone Baptist Church is? They have a daycare there. Yeah. Yeah, I know where it's at. But it's not any closer than the homes with the children that will be playing in their backyards. Well, I just, again, the exhibit purports to say that there's a playground within 319 feet if I'm understanding it correctly. This is the playground. Right. And it's three. It's 319 people. And if you zoom in on the Google Maps, because when I first looked on Google Maps, I kept wondering what this red and yellow stuff was. And so we drove out there and saw that it's a play equipment. Okay. I'm not. Is it that? Well, anyway, okay, I will look closer. Yeah, we can choose you a screen capture of the Google Maps with it circled. That would be helpful because what I'm looking at, it seems to be somewhere between 300 and 600 feet, but it doesn't appear as close as 319. So I'm just trying to make sure I have the facts correct. No, man, I mean, it doesn't, I mean, the perception is misleading perhaps. I'm just, I'm just trying to figure out, well, I'm like said, I'm looking at it from a satellite view and it. So the people, I'm sorry, go ahead, Ms. Shepham. So is, did someone go out and actually measure from the well head to the playground, or is that just an estimate from Google Maps? I'm trying to better understand. Yes, ma'am, come up here to the microphone. You can come up to the microphone and state your name and address the record and you understand. So I'm just answering your question. This is not my speech. Sure, sure. I actually drove up there today and I didn't have a measuring tape with me but it actually looked a lot closer from the fence line of the drill site and if you all haven't been there I really would urge you all to go. You'll be appalled at how close everything is. And my guess is that if you actually measured with a tape measure from the fence on the drill site to the edge of the playground is probably less than 319 feet. In fact, I was standing there with a TV crew. And we were trying to figure out if that was even 319 feet. We didn't think it was. Okay. But, you know, I can actually go home today and try to figure out a way to get that measurement to you and I'll try to get it to you in the next couple of days. The reason I'm asking is because the location of the wellhead is the measurement that we get on our little maps. And the site, I think, is fully enclosed, or mostly enclosed, at least the pictures I have and what I recall, is there not a screen, Mr. Opel? So there'd be no public access to the well site. So I'm. There's a brick wall on one end. Everything else is a chain link fence. And the emissions, I think, would just kind of see it in through the chain link. Again, I'm not. Yeah, I'm not. I'm not talking. I'm not talking about emissions. I bet that gets dispersed in the air. And it did to chain link or brick wall wouldn't wouldn't matter anyway. I'm merely trying to be sure that I understand that you all believe that the playground is no more than 319 feet from the well head. Okay, let me let me respond to that even though that was probably not the question I came here to answer. I think research shows that 5, 10, 15 feet if you think that there's an error in the 319 feet, which is the number I got off the report, is not going to make a significant difference. 600 feet even is not going to make a significant difference. In fact, I had a contact from a mother with a three-week old baby who lives on the 600 feet line. And she asked me if there was any way she could be represented here because with the newborn, she couldn't come. So the concerns do not stop at 600 feet. They don't stop at 319 and they don't go up between 319 and 300 because the emissions as you said disperse everywhere. And I'm not debating that issue. I was showing the photograph that said 319 feet and I'm just I'm merely trying to ascertain how one concluded that. That's all I'm trying to figure out. Okay, until we ascertain that, I'm happy to replace it with this one, which is just a picture in no measurement. I get that. That's nice. Miss Thelman, you had some questions. Yes, thank you, Mayor. I'm sorry, ma'am, I did not catch your name. Sharing Wilson, that's right. You mentioned the analysis of the study that was done between 2009 and 2015. Could you forward me a copy of, is that one analysis, like a report on all those studies that correct? All of the peer reviewed literature from 2009 to 2015. Okay. I would like to see that. would you be willing to pour that to me? Hands in that team. Thank you. Thank you. And I can Get Google Earth and measure it exactly to the playground, but I don't know whether you measure here from the fence or from the wellhead or I believe it's from the wellhead, isn't it, Mr. Topel? Yeah, from the wellhead. Okay, then yeah. All right, I'll do that. All right, thank you. Thank you for letting us speak. We got word last minute that this was continued. Jane Lynn, I live at 24 or 3 Haven with Drive-Amen, Roxanne's District 3. HB 40, the bill that stripped municipalities of its ability to regulate oil and gas and protect our communities, refers to the reasonably prudent operator. So I looked up prudent, and this definition came up, acting with or showing care and thought for the future. Now, on May 29, 2013, the Department of Justice issued a press release titled French Oil and Gas Company Total SA, charged in the United States and France in connection with an international bribery scheme. In summary, total SA agreed to pay $398.2 million to settle US criminal and civil allegations for paying approximately $60 million in bribes to an Iranian government official to help the company obtain lucrative development rights in three oil and gas fields. The release states, total mischaracterized the unlawful payments as business development expenses when they were in fact bribes designed to corruptly influence a foreign official. How prudent is that? In addition, total companies had to pay 15 million to resolve allegations of royalty under payments from federal and Indian lands. Is this prudent? And I haven't even touched on the environmental violations. I hope the city has done its due diligence on background checks for this foreign limited liability corporation that wants to conduct dangerous industrial operations, 319 feet from a neighborhood. And I do believe that playground is a little bit closer. Somebody had told me it was a little over 200, but I mean, anyway. So on Thursday, February 8, total held to gastro-ling meeting at the Southeast Branch Library, not a single person who lives in that neighborhood was there. Now I was, the room was set with eight chairs, and I thought it was odd that a company not lacking in resources was unable to market that out to the neighbors and get them out there. So the next evening, we went out there, neighbor and I went out there to that neighborhood and we visited people whose homes actually back up to that drill site. And we spoke with people in Silver Maple. They shared with us what it was like living through those first three wells. And we heard stories of gas spewing, nose bleeds, health effects, strange rumbling noises, waking them up in the middle of the night. Not a single person that we spoke with knew anything about any neighborhood gas drilling meetings, P&Z meetings, council meetings, there were 100% totally in the dark. So I think the question that we need to ask ourselves is is total, a prudent operator. Thanks. Thank you. My name is Rita Beving. I live at 13214 Gladiacres Drive in Dallas, Texas. I am the North Texas representative for public citizen Texas. We are an organization that's over, that was in Texas starting in 1984, but we're over 40 years old. We believe in good government. In Texas, we work on energy, ethics, and environmental issues. You know, when the City of Arlington, along with Fort Worth and others, went to protected citizens from a deep injection well just a few hundred feet from a lake. There wasn't a citizen from Fort Worth, D'Aless, that didn't think you did a wonderful thing to protect your citizens, and that's what they're asking you to do tonight She was spoke speaking about total a minute ago I'll follow up with their environmental violations Just a couple weeks ago January 25th 2018 and I did this in five minutes while I was sitting here because it wasn't planning on speaking TCQ find total $313,000 for multiple violations between 2011 and 2016 on an emissions violation at their refinery amongst other incidents that happened in those five years. That was a third of the May and point O8 in fines that TCEQ put forward against 46 operators. So they're pretty significant, that's a third. In September 2013, total was fined a whopping $8.75 million for failing to comply with the terms of the Clean Air Act, for violating a 2007 settlement of the Clean Air Act, the U.S. Department of Justice weighed in along with the EPA. So bad was total as an actor in the oil and gas business, that they were ordered to hire a third party to audit its own compliance to the order and create a task force to monitor that compliance. I just wanna say that Arlington is not a stranger to problems with oil and gas in its own city limits. In April 2015, just days before HB40 was voted on. Citizens more than a hundred were evacuated within one eighth mile when Vantage hadn't had a problem with the leaking well head. And your fire chief was very concerned. I heard him testify on HB40. Please do the right thing. Protect your citizens. Hello. My name is Dr. Cynthia Fincher. I am a psychologist in the seat of Arlington. I got to meet Roxanne last year when our neighborhood watch was doing a neighborhood cleanup. In my initial dissertation research, which looked at the impact of neurotoxic chemicals, I actually wrote this book and I brought copies for you. If you want to understand the way that chemicals that are able to cross the blood brain barrier fat soluble chemicals How they accumulate in the body how they affect people's health and why are they so profoundly at risk for young children? I was delighted to see my city just vote for this lovely school on green oak avenue. I'm so glad you did that and I don't want you to now vote something that creates more disabled children. These toxic chemicals have enormous impacts on developing brains. They have enormous impact on brain functioning. Again, my doctoral dissertation work was on the impact of pesticides and solvents and how altars are brain and functioning, how that affects behavior, how that affects intelligence, how it puts us at risk of Alzheimer's. There's a wide scientific data about the risk of the neurotoxic chemicals to our community. This is a letter I have from one of our professors. We have UTA right here in our city. Incredible researchers and scientists, people who spend their whole careers carefully answering these questions. This is from Dr. Schuig, who is a professor of chemistry and biochemistry, he might be able to come in two weeks. I ask him his opinion on this, and he stated that his recommendation would be at least a 2,000 foot margin, at least 2,000 feet. Now, I don't know exactly where the 600 feet number came from. But this is my neighborhood. These are my neighbor's children that will be playing at that school. This is my neighborhood park. Craven's Park is a wonderful park. And it's loaded with kids and families. All these children running around, trying to get fresh air. Ravens Park is a wonderful park and it's loaded with kids and families. All these children running around trying to get fresh air. And these emissions are putting at risk. My neighbors, their children, is putting me, my child at risk. I really want to ask of my city council. 600 feet is a very small window of protection. It is not really adequate, but it's something. And to cut that window of protection almost by half. And I had no idea to hear about this company. We would be trusting this company which has so many violations. And the thing with the neurotoxic chemical is we can't get it back. When we get a child with cancer, when we get a ground parent with Alzheimer's, cancer is simply the tip of the toxic iceberg. It leads to a wide variety of health impacts, which again I've explained in my book about how things that cross the the fatty tissue that goes into the blood brain barrier, it affects your brain, your endocrine system, your digestive system. So I would like to leave copies of this for anyone that wants to read it. I'm a psychologist, so my job is trying to translate complex science into useful everyday information. So I brought you copies and this letter also from Dr. Schud. Thank you very much. Thank you. Our city secretary can take that. Oh, thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Dr that. Thank you. Thank you, Dr. Thank you. Any any any Yeah, you bet I'll go ahead and make a motion to continue the matter until February 27th. This topic is that was that the request. Okay, we we have a second from Councilmember Wolfe. All in favor? Well, we met. We're going real fast aren't we? Well, and I love that. I think this will second. And I should have done it on the phone. So. We're on the same. Yeah, I do. So in a second, I can. Motion. Well. We can do it by hand, vote. Now, just do that. Okay, so we have a motion from councilmember Shepard, a second from Councilmember Wolff. All in favor, please raise your hand. Any opposed? Okay, the motion is continued then. So this will be Miss Topel, that's February the 27th. We'll continue the public hearing there on it then and then if you all have anything you want to send to us, go ahead and do we have gotten the objections already to a lot of them there. And thank you for your time and concern here for our community. Appreciate that greatly. Next, we move to citizen participation. the city of San Francisco. We have a meeting with the councilman. Next we move to citizen participation. Do we have any cards on citizen participation? Okay, so we don't have any there. Then let's move to announcements. There, Miss Garcia.
