Minutes of the Special Meeting of Council Monday, November 7, 2016 Page 4 Tam Mulle I would encourage anyone who wants to come closer to please feel free to do so. It is going to be difficult to see in detail. Council President Saponaro stated, and I would add that anyone who is going to have public comment is going to have to come to the podium anyways. You may want to come down if you are planning speaking up. It's up to you. Please proceed. My name is Tim Mulle. I am with TMA Architects. We have been working with Dr. Moyal to put together a conceptual design for the property as Ken just outlined for you. This first board that is on easel shows the entire site. Over here to this side of the board is SOM. This is Route 91. Council President Saponaro stated, Mr. Mulle, if I could interrupt you. If you could lift that up and bring it here and kind of show Council and then bring it to the audience and show them. We all have to understand what you are talking about and it is difficult right now. I apologize. I don't mean to interrupt your flow but if you could please give us a quick glance at what you are talking about and then you can bring it to the audience so they can see what you are talking about as well. Mr. Mulle stated, the overall site plan indicates SOM Center, the existing building back here, the proposed new structure. This large white area over here is the existing building and parking lot. This is a medical office building. All of this site in front of the existing building, parking lot, up to 91 is open. Fisher's restaurant is over here. This is the proposed location of the new building. The existing driveway goes through the site. You can get into the new building from that driveway. The building would not have any direct access from SOM. You would come off SOM onto the property's existing driveway. That is how you would access the building. This would not create any change in terms of vehicle access that exists today. Council President Saponaro asked, will you explain where Fisher's is versus the Fire Station versus everything else so that they have a clear understanding? Mr. Mulle stated, Fisher's restaurant is the only additional site that you can see on this particular plan. In terms of the basic footprint of what is here, it is located up here. This site goes around Fisher's. A member of the audience raised his hand with a question. Council President Saponaro stated, I am sorry. This is not Q&A. Everyone who wants to speak are going to have get up and talk, but you have to give your presentation first. Once you are done,.if anyone wants to speak, they are more than welcome to. Come to the podium, give me your name, your address, so we have it for the record. We have to have an accurate record here so we know who is speaking and what information we are provided. I know it would be easier if we could just have a dialogue, but it is a public meeting and we need to do it this way. I apologize sir, I don't mean to cut you off. You will have an opportunity. Please proceed. 1
