An upart, or out-of-place artifact, comes in many shapes and sizes, some clearly being or containing an anomalous object, which no matter how desperately some attempt to discredit, the evidence is clear for all to see. This category of upart, unsurprisingly, often falls victim to theft. However, the other category actually litters the display cases of museums all over the world. These artifacts are being more easily explained away, and as such, they are often attached to a less impressive historical tale than that which was actually experienced. Stonehenge is probably the most iconic ancient site within Western Europe, an ancient site that, for many years, was to blame for many heated arguments between different individuals, all convinced of its past purpose. Now largely accepted to be a celestial calendar and a meeting place for many ancient people who came together at solstices to hold elaborate and purportedly promiscuous festivals. However, the true age of Stonehenge, or indeed how the stones were once balanced atop of one another, or the precise knowledge of celestial activities displayed, is still unknown. Although to those who study the many other seemingly impossible ancient feats found all over earth, Stonehenge is clearly a relic of a far more ancient civilization than any which artifactual evidence have been found for. In 1808, William Cunnington, one of Britain's earliest professional archaeologists, discovered what has become known as the crown jewels of Stonehenge. They were found within a large Bronze Age burial mound, today known as Bush Barrow. Within the Barrow, Cunnington found ornate jewelry, including an intricately decorated dagger. The very finest goldwork involved in the making and positioning of literally tens of thousands of tiny, individually made components, each around a millimeter long and around a fifth of a millimeter wide, said David Dawson, director of the Wiltshire Museum in Devises, where the micro gold working achievements are on permanent display. The amazing process involved in creating the handle of just one dagger included up to 140,000 tiny gold studs, each just a third of a millimeter wide. The first stage involved manufacturing extremely fine gold wire, just a little thicker than a human hair. The end of the wire flattened to create a stud head, then cut with a very sharp razor no more than a millimeter below the head. This delicate procedure was then repeated literally tens of thousands of times. An incredible ancient artifact found near one of the most enigmatic ancient sites in the world. Yet amazingly, academia continues to deny the existence of out-of-place artifacts. Instead, opting to explain the construction of such marvelous work, by claiming it was somehow the work of children, due to their more acute site, this regardless of the clearly controversial evidence at hand. Who created such astonishing microscopic jewelry? Were these amazing artifacts once the possession of the actual builders of Stonehenge? Incredible items that are clearly amazing ancient oparts. The Uffberts. A group of medieval swords found within Europe dating between the 9th and 11th centuries, the blade faces are inlaid with the inscription Uffbert with a cross on either side. The word turns out to have been a Frankish personal name. It somehow has become the basis logo, a trademark of swords used by multiple bladesmiths for several centuries in their impressive attempts to make the hardest most impressive swords of the era. About 100 to 170 Uffberts swords are known to exist, yet the origins of the name remains somewhat of an enigma. However, we dare to postulate that the name may have originated with this sword in particular. A sword which these bladesmiths may have been attempting to replicate and indeed figure out how it was made. A NOVA National Geographic Documentary, titled Secrets of the Viking Sword, which first aired in 2012, actually took a look at this enigmatic sword's metallurgical composition. The Uffberts sword has almost no slide content within its composition, and it has a carbon content three times that of other metals of the time. Carbon found to be a great addition in strengthening steel, creating a metal known as crucible steel, a critical discovery, something which made England famous some 800 years after this sword's creation. In the process of forging iron, the ore must be heated to 3000 degrees Fahrenheit. This will bring the metal to a liquid molten state, allowing blacksmiths to reduce impurities called slag. However, medieval technology did not allow iron to be heated to such a high temperature, thus the slag was removed by pounding it out, a far less effective method. Modern blacksmith Richard Furrer of Wisconsin spoke to NOVA about the difficulties of making such a sword. Furrer is described in the documentary as one of the few people on the planet who has the skills needed to try to reproduce the Uffberts by hand. To do it right, it is the most complicated thing I know how to make, he said. He commented on how the Uffberts maker would have been regarded as possessing magical powers. To be able to make a weapon from dirt is a pretty powerful thing, he said. But to make a weapon at this time within history that could bend such without breaking, stay so sharp and weigh so little would be regarded as supernatural. Furrer spent days of continuous painstaking work forging a similar sword. He used medieval technology, although it required highly unconventional ways, never before suspected or documented. The tiniest flaw or mistake, turning the sword into a piece of scrap metal. He declared his success at the end as more relief than joy. Who was the maker of this sword? How did they know how to make it? The mystery surrounding this out-of-place artifact persists to this day. We have long conjectured that many ancient ruins found throughout the world are not what they seem, attributed to groups within known and permitted history. We feel, however, that the evidence to suggest that they were, in fact, relics of an as-yet unearthed advanced civilization is now overwhelming. Many sites we cover escape modern understanding or explanation. Gigantic multi-ton megaliths, often somehow mysteriously quarried and transported from quarry sites, sometimes hundreds of miles away from where we find them today. Such realities are undeniable. And the lack of any explanation as to how our more primitive ancient ancestors accomplish such tasks, we feel, remains elusive due to said sites' origins actually being a far more capable, far more progressive, now lost civilization, who were clearly once capable of such incredible feats. However, although many sites are often attributed to what we perceive were mere re-inhabitants and the archaeological footprint that they left behind excavated and permitted to be studied in depth, pinned as the creators of said sites. However, the relic we are focusing on in the following video, an ancient artifact left by those who possibly created the site itself. Mallorca, a favorite with holiday makers, yet alas, what many do not pursue while on the island is the inexplicable stone megaliths which litter its tropical shores. Academically attested as a 3200-year-old relic, we feel, however, that the sword, although clearly of a remarkable preservation, is in fact far older than this, and those who have investigated the site and said relic have concluded that the only possible origin of this incredible object was that of a now lost, yet once highly advanced ancient civilization. Now known as the Taliot Sword, it is an astonishing ancient weapon, once somehow made far within antiquity, created to incredibly high standards, and we feel the reason the sword has survived so long is merely testament to the quality of the sword and indeed the past abilities of its creator. Recently discovered by a team of experts digging at the archaeological site known as Taliot de Seralda, say Abelis, found within Pueg Puyant, a municipality on Mallorca. The site is comprised of several stone megaliths which are claimed to date back anywhere from 1000 to 6000 BC. We, however, hypothesize that the sword is far older than even these unusually generous academically dated estimates. The sword was found near one of the stone megaliths, known locally as a Taliot, hence the sword's name. Built by the mysterious Taliotic culture, which we feel is the name given to lost civilization, that many funded individuals continue to try and dismiss, claiming that it was located within permitted timelines. Labeled by some as the Spanish Excalibur, it is undoubtedly an incredible artifact and one which sheds precious light upon the capabilities of a now lost civilization. Work is now underway at the site and is pegged to continue for the next few decades, initially explored by historian and archaeologist Guillem Bordeaux in the 1950s. It was in mid-September as the researchers were readying the museum at the site that the team found the sword. Who made the Taliot sword? How old are the megalithic sites upon the island of Mallorca? Are we looking at an artifact left by a now lost civilization? We find the evidence to suggest such highly compelling. There has been a wealth of documented artifacts found within very ancient sediment, coal seams, minerals, and even stones and geodes. All indicating that a vastly different story has taken place upon our earth, to that of what the majority stubbornly persist in assuming. So many pieces of evidence, in fact, it seems that it has been an impossible task for an unknown group of tyrants who, for whatever reason, have attempted to conceal or suppress such discoveries, or, more importantly, hide the historical tales in which they are all trying to tell us. And these next three are no exception. The Lenzhou Stone, discovered in 1999 by Zhilin Wang in a remote mountainous area in northwest China. Upon research being undertaken, it was established to be unexplainable. The rock is made of an unknown material and the metal artifact embedded within may quite possibly have alien origins, as reported in the Lenzhou Morning News on June 26, 2002. More than 10 geologists, physicists, and other specialists from such institutes as the National Land Resources Bureau of China, the Institute of Geology and Minerals Research, and the School of Resources and Environment, all eventually studied the possible origins of the stone. The results of these examinations, the possible explanations for its formation, or indeed origin, were never released. Amazingly, however, the scientists unanimously concluded that the stone is currently one of the most valuable in China or possibly the world. When pressed for further explanation, it was disclosed that the rock will apparently be extremely important for future research and, quote, archaeological studies. Any further disclosure regarding the scientist's discoveries has remained elusive. The Wolfsegg Iron has a similarly suppressed story. Over 20 million years old, this extremely ancient and clearly once worked cube of iron may also have come from space. Indeed, that is a conclusion many educated researchers arrived at. Although attempts to discredit such claims involve recent testing, which has shown the cube lacks usual elements present in meteoric material, they all avoid mentioning its strong magnetic characteristics, a signature uncannily similar to that found in meteorites and other objects with an other worldly origin. It was discovered when a workman at the Braun Iron Foundry in Scherendorf, Austria, was breaking up a block of lignite that had been mined at Wolfsegg. In 1886, mining engineer Adolf Gürlte reported the object to the Natural History Society of Bonn, who noted that the object was coated with a thin layer of rust, was made of iron, and had a specific gravity of 7.75. Early descriptions of the object appeared in contemporary editions of the scientific journal Nature and Lestronomy, identified at the time by numerous scientists as being a fossil meteorite. Now virtually unanimously concluded to have been man-made, it has thus been unexplainable, stolen at one point. It was strangely returned to another museum, now without a compelling mainstream explanation. It has simply been condemned to the history books as some form of elaborate hoax. Impossible artifacts have been found in the most unusual of places. For example, a seemingly unbreakable piece of unknown metal, possibly a ring of ancient or according to man's official history, alien origin found within a geode encapsulated for over 200 million years. Most people begin with good intentions, but sadly, are often allured away by various means of temptation, subsequently allowing such relics to disappear into the archives of the past. This report and the accompanying image, it seems, is all that we will ever see regarding this compelling artifact. A mysterious fate experienced by many such artifacts. For example, sadly, only the wolf-seg iron now remains in the public domain for future testing. What's secret within our past is felt by some clearly powerful people as an imperative to keep concealed from the majority of the world. Maybe the question should be, will we ever be ready or indeed able to find out? Ancient U-parts are undoubtedly one of the most interesting subjects in regard to lost antiquities. Many of these artifacts, due to the locations in which they are found within or the immense age displayed within the erosion seen upon the object, makes them one of the most controversial areas of study. How can one answer the question of how an iron pot is found within a solid lump of coal within a seam over 300 million years in age? Or how the clear imprint of a chariot wheel is found fossilized deep within a mine in Russia? These artifacts, found at hundreds of feet deep in sediment or displaying a wooden handle petrified into coal, display undeniably immense age, and as such, are solid pieces of evidence to support our posit, of there having been a series of now lost civilizations stretching far into the past. Nature is infamous in being cyclical. Why then would we not be permitted by mainstream academia to presume this be the case for the climates of the Earth as well? Regardless of this digression, however, the subject of tonight's video is an incredible artifact which we believe to be that of an ancient upart. However, due to its incredible characteristic, is being masqueraded as that of a much later creation by a far more recent ancestor. Known as the Sword of Gougeon, this intriguing artifact has somehow resisted the effects of time, and although it is enormously old, is seemingly as sharp and as shiny today as the day it was made. This remarkable characteristic, although unexplained, is not the only interesting thing about the sword. It also features an incredibly old form of writing. Eight characters are written in an ancient script, now known as bird worm seal script, literally birds and worms characters. Owing to the intricate decorations of the defining strokes, it is very old and is attested to be a variant of seal script. In 1965, while an archaeological survey was being performed along the second main aqueduct of the Zhang River Reservoir in Zhengzhou, Ubei, the series of ancient tombs were discovered. A dig started in the middle of October 1965, ending in January 1966, eventually revealing more than 50 ancient tombs. More than 2,000 artifacts were recovered from the sites, including the sword, having been found inside a casket together with a human skeleton. The casket was discovered in the December of 1965 at the Wangshan site No. 1, 7 km from the ruins of Ying, currently called Jinashang, once the ancient capital of Qiu. The sword was found sheathed in a wooden scabbard, finished in black lacquer. The scabbard had an almost airtight fit with the sword body. Unsheathing the sword revealed an untarnished blade, despite the tomb being soaked in underground water for over 2,000 years. How did this sword retain its incredible condition? Why does it seem as if it is resistant to aging? What sort of metallurgy did the swordsmith once use to create such an amazing object? It is clearly an ancient upart, and one we postulate has an origin now hidden within the bowels of history. It is a remarkable thing, and as such, is highly compelling.


If you want to know how to add audio to your designs and graphics in Canva, watch this video, I'm going to show you exactly how to do it. In today's session, I'm going to walk you through how to take your graphics that you're creating in Canva. If you don't know how to use Canva, I haven't done other videos that are in the channel around that. So go check out my training on Canva. But if you already know how to use Canva and you want to know how to create really snazzy graphics that also have audio with them, I'm just going to take you through a very quick process to show you how you can do that. So at this moment in time, I'm getting everything ready for the next RippleMakers podcast that are going out and we've got the promotion that goes out alongside them.  And so every week we interview more people. And so I've got a new episode that's coming out in a couple of days. So I've just been going through and getting all the graphics ready for that. And I thought actually while I do it, you could also benefit from learning from it. So as you can see, I've created a whole bunch of graphics. Now I've got this one that is going out. So Jackie's, hers is going out this coming Friday at the point of me recording this for you. But Daniel's is going out on Monday, so I'm going to get his ready to go. So as you can see, I've gone and got a little animation graphic. And where you'll find that is if you go to elements, you can go and type in something like sound bar and find all kinds of graphics that have animation. So you could have sound waves as you can see like this. So that's an alternative version. So I've just gone and animate. I've gone and got one that's already animated. So I don't have to animate it. And all I can, all I've done is just simply found it and then drag and drop it over the graphic that you're using. So it doesn't matter what artwork you've got, whether it's square or if you're doing something for Instagram. And so you've got more of a portrait one. It doesn't matter. All you need to do is go type in sound waves, for example, if you're wanting to show that there's sound in the, the link to whatever it is you're driving them to go type that in and then go grab it. You'll see if there's a little crown on it, then it means you can only use it if you've got a pro account. I do have a pro account, but if you don't have a pro account, you'll see that things like this, they're free because they don't have a crown on. So I've got it. I've created my graphic as I want it to be, but now I want to add some sound to it. So I, what I've done is I went and created some audio files that I can then bring into the, the camera graphics so it can play audio as well. So what that will look like is let me just show you because I'm setting these all up for my VA to go now. So let's show you an example of that. And I was asking questions, but nobody was giving me what I felt was the truth. And I nearly became very insular then. I just, yeah, put blinkers on and just head down, just carry on working. My mantra was I was work hard, get recognised for what you do. Please, that does not happen usually. But that was my instinct. Just keep on going, keep on going. So you see, I've taken a snippet. So I've got my audio file. I can do other videos on that. If you want me to create you a training on how to create those audio files, then let me know. Put it in the comments so that I can show you how to do that as well. But what we're going to do is we're going to assume that I've edited my audio. And by the way, you can animate it and add sound to it up to 30 seconds. So if you're going to create something using Canva, using this sound by opportunity, then what you need to do is make sure that it's no more than 30 seconds. My advice would be, because it seems to cut things off pretty quickly, is if you make sure that you've always got one second. So for example, if the audio for this, now I've already imported my audio into here. But let's imagine that I'm going to go grab an audio file right now. So episode 20, this is Daniel Woods one. This is the full episode, so I'm not going to pull the full thing into here. But I am going to edit little sound bites from his full interview. And once I've got them, all you do is drag and drop them. So you can see there it says drop to upload your file. So you literally go grab your audio file from wherever it is. And you just drag and drop it in there. So I'm not going to do that at this point in time, because I'm showing you and demonstrating you how to do this. And I can do that as I say in another video. But for this one, all you've got to do, once you've dragged and dropped it in there, it will appear. So if you go to your uploads, it will then appear in your audio uploads. Okay. So any images that you've imported into Canva will show here. Any videos you've imported in, they will show here. And any audios will show here. So let's imagine that I've already put Daniel's audio in here. And I'm now going to go drag and drop it. So I can see that this is a 10 second audio. Remember, I said you always want to add one more second. So I'm going to drag and drop that just as an example. And you can play the audio effects so you can listen to it if you want to. But because that's 11 seconds now, what I need to do is go and bring that down. So I'm going to bring the video down to 11 seconds. So it's got 10 seconds to process and then an extra second on the end because it does finish very harshly. So if you decide that you are going to have a 15 second video, say you've got a 15 second clipping and you want to pull that in, then you want to change that to 16 seconds. If it's 28 seconds, you want to change this bit here to 29 seconds, but it won't go longer than 30. So you don't want your audio to be any more than 29 seconds. Otherwise, it cuts it off very abruptly and it doesn't sound good. It feels like it's unfinished. So always make sure you've got no more than 29 seconds of audio content to stream into there. As you can see, I went through. I was making sure that everything was less than. And this one here that was 30 seconds, I actually went in and edited it and made sure that it was 29. I brought it down to 29 seconds so that I would be able to have that buffer to make this 30 seconds. Now, if you're going to use something like for Instagram, for example, then 15 seconds and 30 seconds are the premium times for you to create shorts and reels, for example. Whereas a minute you might use this for TikTok or this is good for, as I'm sharing here, little sound bites. You don't want to give the whole podcast away in a promo to the podcast. You only want to give like a 30 second little snippet of what they can find inside. So if you want to create snippets and you want to do it like that, that's the way to do it. You just go and edit your audio first. If you want to know how to edit that audio, like I say, put it in the comments below and I will do your video on how you do that as well. Otherwise, I'm going to assume you already know how to do that and I can't wait for you to share all of your graphics. So go out there, start making your graphics even more engaging by adding sound to the graphics and I'll look forward to hearing how you got on. Make sure you let me know in the comments below.

you have to be your biggest fan. And when things are really tough and they're really rough and nothing's working, but there's something inside of you that says, I just have to follow that.

Welcome to Church of the Chair, where you don't drink coffee, coffee drinks you. I'm your host, E, and today, Mr. Jingles is a whole mood. If you're new around here, I need to give you a warning. In this series, I will be spoiling all of Stephen King's work. There's no way around it. If you have not read everything he's ever published, I suggest you leave now. You've been warned. Today, we're talking about The Green Mile by Stephen King. So how does The Green Mile tie into the Stephen King universe and the Dark Tower series? Let's get into that. This is likely going to be the shortest video in this entire Redux series. It was even a short video in the original series, and that's because I only have one major tie-in and one thing that could be considered reaching. And that's the fact that I believe that John Coffey, like Ted Brodigan in Hearts in Atlantis, he's not in every story in there, but I always think of Ted Brodigan being in Hearts in Atlantis even though it's lowmen in yellow coats because of the Anthony Hopkins adaptation. Anyways, Ted Brodigan had the touch and he was a breaker. I feel that John Coffey, too, was a breaker, but he was never taken away because he ended up in jail. I go into far more detail about this in my original video, so you can go to the playlist at the end of this video and check out that video. You can check out all the rest of them as well. They are currently live on the channel. But other than that, the only thing I have is regulation 19. Someone brings up regulation 19, and of course 19 is important in the Stephen King universe. While we're on the topic of themes throughout the Stephen King universe, I will mention that this isn't Stephen King's only innocent man in prison story, so that, too, can be considered a tie-in. I believe you could put it up there with Shawshank Redemption simply because he follows the same theme, but at this point you guys know I'm reaching. And that's all the time I have for you today. There weren't even any viewer comments with their own theories on the original video. It was once again everybody talking about whether or not they liked the book, were indifferent about the book, or they hated the book. So if I missed anything in this video, or if you have any corrections of anything I said in this video, or if you have theories of your own, I would love to see them down there in the comments section. But until next time, I got nothing, all hell to share.


Because through growing this hero spirit that we inherently all have, we can become the true owners of our lives and then be a person who can influence and change the lives of people around me and the lives of others in my community. And then going beyond that, become an inspiration for humanity at large. Hi guys, this is Linda from Brain Education TV. If this is your first time, welcome! Please consider subscribing, like this video and click the bell for notifications of each new episode. In this video, I wanna talk about an online event that we do every single month with our friends from Body and Brain TV. The event is called Heroes Night. Now when we say heroes, it's not like the typical heroes that you're thinking about in the movies with the capes and crazy costumes with superpowers, nothing like this. In our culture of brain education, we see every single individual as a hero. Why?  So because you inherently possess that power to create change in others, we consider you a hero as well. So what is Heroes Night? Heroes Night is an online evening meeting that we do with heroes from our practice all over the country. So people who have either engaged in brain education, trainings and practices, or they're interested in learning more about brain education, or they're just on some spiritual path, or maybe they're on some kind of journey to find themselves wherever you are in the spectrum of connecting with yourself, connecting with your brain, all the people who have experienced some kind of training or some kind of teaching from brain education, we gather here every month to do some mind, body exercises together. So all the mind, body exercises that you're gonna experience at Heroes Night is based directly from brain education. So typically someone who comes to Heroes Night is someone who is young, but we also open it up to people who feel young at heart. So when we say young, it's from people who are in their late teens to about 35 around there. But even if you're older, you're physically older than 35, if you still feel young at heart, then we also invite you to come to Heroes Night as well. So online we gather through Zoom and then we do some mind, body exercises together. We invite different guest trainers, like I said with my friends from Body and Brain TV and also other brain education instructors from around the country because believe it or not, it's not just me and Gaby who are brain education instructors. We have a whole community worldwide, nationwide of other great, great instructors who are licensed and qualified to teach brain education.  It's really not set to like a certain kind of formula, but we do some kind of like movement to connect with our mind and body. And then we also do some meditations to connect deeply inside with us too. And then we also learn some principles about how to grow, grow this soul, grow this hero spirit within us because through growing this hero spirit that we inherently all have, we can become the true owners of our lives and then be a person who can influence and change the lives of people around me and the lives of others in my community. And then going beyond that, become an inspiration for humanity at large. So if you're interested, I'm gonna drop a link in the description below about Heroes Night so that when you sign up on the website, you sign up for the email list and then we email you the Zoom access information so that you can join every month for Heroes Night. And just for your future reference, Heroes Night takes place every second Tuesday of each month. Second Tuesday of each month. Second Tuesday of each month. Second Tuesday of each month. So if you're interested in experiencing brain education, if you're interested in meeting other people who are exposed to brain education or currently practicing brain education, if you want to see more in-depth about our wider community, our practices, members of our tribe, our different instructors, more in-depth teachings, experiences all rooted in brain education and an added bonus if you're someone who falls in today, about 16 to 35 age range and you're hoping to connect with something greater inside of yourself, I truly invite you to come to Heroes Night every month, the second Tuesday of each month. If you have any questions about it, please comment down below this video and I will answer all of your questions, especially if something was unclear in this video. You wanna know more about Heroes, you wanna know more about the concept, you wanna know more about the instructors or the event itself, let me know in the comments below and I'll respond to them. And just as an added bonus, if you want to hear more about the Heroes concept in particular, I did a live broadcast with my friend David from Body and Brain TV talking about this Heroes concept. So I will link that video up here so you guys can re-watch that live to understand more about Heroes. Thanks for tuning in, I hope to see you guys in the next Heroes Night. Bye.


Hey, I'm just going to give you a short glimpse of the magical nature Lapland north of Sweden. I'm here on a family hike for a couple of days and You don't need me to tell you the world is changing. We already know that but you do need to think more about How you can relate to change? If you follow me by now, you know My best suggestion is to get closer to nature if you spend more time in nature you remind yourself of the relationship between man and nature how small we are and Ultimately Of course, you always have to adapt and It's not only about being adaptable being agile all these buzzwords, you know, but in the end I truly believe that if we face an ever-changing future then You don't only have to adapt but you have to learn how to truly enjoy change The ones who enjoy the fact that you wake up in the morning Without knowing what's ahead of you And that in itself Gives you a feeling of pleasure a feeling of happiness If that's you then I'm sure you are going to love our future I hope that gave you some sort of inspiration and now I'm going back to my family trip. Have a lovely day

I am Kara Brown and I'm the other half of VC Ski Fitness and we're super excited to be doing the Ski Fitness Sundays with Ellis Brigham. And so what we're going to be doing is we're going to be talking you guys through a little bit about VC Ski Fitness and we're going to be showing you what we do on our programs. So, what VC Ski Fitness is about is it's a workout program. It's going to get you fit overall, but specifically it's going to focus on your skiing fitness and improve your skiing performance. So, what's really cool is that because this is a collaboration between Vivian and I, I have a little bit of expertise in the skiing world and Vivian is what I like to call Google for exercises. Literally, this woman has a exercise for every single problem you can draw her. And so this is more than just, you know, do some squats, get big thighs and get fit for skiing. This is we encompass everything. We do motor skills. We do coordination, balance, reflexes. We focus on the forces that are going through your body when you're skiing and try to strengthen you up so you can be as ready as possible. So, yeah, that's what we're all about and we're really looking forward to showing it to you guys on these ski fit Sundays with Ellis Brigham. So Vivian, tell us what we're going to need for today's workout. Okay, so today we have, first we have to set up, set up what we have to do here, like for you guys at your home, just get some space, okay, just push your furniture away a little bit like I did here in my house. And then what you have to do, a little space, a mat or a towel, like it's up to you. If you don't have mat, it's not a problem, a towel is fine.  If you want to wear trainers, you have more stability for exercises. If you want to be like in barefoot, you'll be more instable. If you are pro instability, you train instability, so you can stay barefoot. If you're first time doing exercise for instability strength, I recommend you put your trainers, okay. The other thing is, is our first workout here, so we assume you don't have any kind of equipment, of course, just body weight we have used here today. But in the future, if you wanted to put some challenge on your workout, you can use some mini bands like this one, okay. So the next workouts, you can just get some mini bands. I have my mini bands, so if you want to go for our website and buy some mini bands, it's fine. It'd be great. Otherwise, just grab some mini bands if you want in the future, just to get more challenging your workout. But for today, fine, just your body, mat, trainers, or without trainers, and then follow me. Yeah. So girls and guys, everyone is watching us today. Let's start our warmup. So the warmup is just to lubricate like your joints to get ready for your workout. For today, we'll be working our ankles, knees, joints, and hips joints. So let's do some warmup. Let's go. Everybody ready? So three and two and one side to side, just warm up your body slowly, side to side, and then you have to step side to the side and stop in the middle and move your knees side to side. Just with my map, attention to warmup. You don't need to stretch your warmup is just little movements and like low intensity to start to wake up your muscles. Okay, just side to side slowly, move your knees, move your hips side to side and stop in one side. And just a little movement, you push your hips down 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, and 2, all the side the same way. And 1, and 2, and 3, breathe in, breathe out, wake up and 5, 4, and 3, and 2, and 1. Now in the middle, just rotate your trunk side to side as well. Move your shoulders, step on the floor, move your body, and 3, and 2, and 1, move now just from one side and hold a little bit. Other side the same way. Okay, go in the middle, move your body down, your trunk down, bend over. Go one side, go other side, go in the middle, all the up, move your foot like just for one, circling your foot from one direction and move for the other direction. The same way your toes on the floor, one side, move for the other side. And now move, lift your leg up, in and out, in and out, in and out, 5, 5, and 4, and 3, and 2, and 1. Now let's do side to side, one leg alternating, side to side, and 5, and 4, and 3, and 2, and 1.  In the middle, breathe in, deep breath, breathe out, open your chest, and let's start our workout training. Kai is with you. So good job guys, made it through the warm up. So what Vivian said is today we're going to be working ankles, knees, and hips. And hopefully if you've been skiing before, you've heard of all those joints because they are vital to your skiing. So you might have heard this before, if you haven't, don't worry, I'm going to talk you through it. So skiing starts from the ground up.  So, and then eventually your shoulders follow. So why, why do you do it this way? Well, it's pretty simple. If you watch me, I'm going to make a turn. If I start with my shoulders, watch what happens to my outside ski, my leg down here. It has to come off the ground. If there's legs coming off the ground, how can you car? There's no way. So that's why we engage our ankles, we engage our knees to keep them nice and soft. And then the hip moves us forward. And that's how you start a good turn. So that's why we are focusing on these three joints this morning. So Vivian first is going to take you guys through some exercises for your ankles to help strengthen them and to help your mobility in there. So over to you Vivian for ankles. Okay, so guys, meditation here more in my feet. Okay, I know I have different levels of fitness here, like different kind of people, different kind of levels of strength. So I try to do the way everybody can join. So you just adjust your level with according with the exercise I'm teaching here. I'm showing you. Okay. So the first one is bend your knees just a little bit, just a little bit because the focus is on your ankles. Okay, so we have to second navel in like engage your core. Don't relax your per body. If it's not of a per body, all body needs to be connected for the all the exercise we do. Okay. So page on is a little bit, we start to move our feet in and out. First one side in and out in and out just to start to move all the joints, all the muscles, all the bones on your foot. One side easy. Okay, super easy here. If you're wearing trainers. It's easier if you're on your foot, you can feel more the movement. Now let's do for other side out, push out, out, out, out, out. One more out. Now we start this properly, rotation both feet. We have to go one side back. Other side back. Attention to my hips, attention to my knees. They just follow my heels. My hips don't move. Stay on the middle, in the middle all the time. Side, other side, side, other side. Now let's go for the other movement. We have to go up, toes and back, toes and back. Attention to my posture. I don't move my posture. I don't move my hips. I don't move my elbows, my shoulders. Everything is here in the same position. Lift your toes, lift your heels up, just toes on the floor. Five and four and three. It looks simple, but if you don't pay attention to your position, if you don't pay attention to your hips position, you're not connecting upper body, lower body. You don't activate the correct muscles. Okay. One more time. Perfect. Now I start to move my right leg or left is up to you. Back and come to the center. Attention here. You can't move your knee out. You have to push backwards and go to the center. Okay. Attention if you're not moving your knee out. The goal here is to keep the stability on one side completely still. And five, back here. And four, back here. And three, back here. Two, one more. One. Now is the challenge.  Again, step back up, up. Again, heel. This heel up. Okay. The heel on the floor up. Again. Yes. Lift your heel up. Back. Heel up. Back. Heel up. Back. Good. Heel up. Back. Two more. Up. Back. One more. Okay.  Perfect. Other side. Just step and back. Attention to an E. One more time. It looks simple. But if you don't keep your body straight, strong, you will start to overcompensate muscles here. Okay. And keep going. Five. And four. And three. And two. And one. Now the challenge. Lift your heel up. Up. Push your leg and lift up. Up. Attention everyone. You have to really try to lift your heel up. Two more. And one more. Great. Back to the center. Now let's step to the side. Okay. This leg here to the side. Side. Don't move your knee back. Side. Back. Side. Back. Two more. Side. Back. The challenge. Lift your heel up again. One. Side. Heel up. Two. Up. Three. Heel up. Four. Up. Five. Up. And stay in the middle. Lift your leg up and hold. Ten. Nine. If you want some challenge here, move your hands. Up. Lift up. And back here. Attention. You start to feel like a little bit more fatigued. You start to feel your ankle shaking a little bit. But stay here. You're working your strength on your ankle. Two more. And the last one. Up. Let's go for the other side. And three and two. And one other side. Step back. Step. Attention. This knee. You don't move. Don't move this knee. Breathe in. Breathe out. One more. Breathe in. Breathe out. Last one. Breathe in. Breathe out. Now it's the challenge. Lift your heel up. Side. One. Side. Two. Side. Three. Side. Four. Side. Five. And now stay here and hold. If you like a challenge with me, lift your arms up. Back down. Lift your arms up. You can't move your body. Just your arms. Stay still and strong. You can feel it. Your ankle shaking a little bit. Try to press your heel against the floor. Breathe out when you move your arms up. One more. The last one. And inhale. Exhale. And relax. Good. Well done. So ankles done. Next one. Okay. So next up, like I said, we've got our ankles done. And now we're going to move up or like to our knees. Now knees, unfortunately the skiers are pretty vulnerable point, which I know as well as anyone having had two major knee surgeries throughout my career. But the reason why they're vulnerable, so the reason why knees tend to be vulnerable is that they are the first point of pivot for our skis. It's the first joint since our ankles are actually in this big plastic boot. Our knees are the first point of strain that our body takes, which is why it's so important to strengthen the muscles around them to help stabilize that joint. So ankles engaged. Engage your knees. A good tip for staying in a balanced position when you're skiing. You want your shin angle to be similar to your spine angle. So what I mean is the angle of your lower leg should be similar to the angle of your back. Immediately if, for example, you change the angle of your back and you collapse, this is not a steady position. This is not a balanced position. I can't relax. It's raining. I can't make good terms. Engage that core. Roll your knees. Spine and shin angle similar.  Okay. So let's go for the second joint. I start to work in our knees. Okay. So attention. One thing is very important. Our knee stability comes from our glutes. Okay. So the focus here is just activate a little bit more our size, our quadriceps, our muscles here in the front of your knees.  Because if you relax upper body, if you relax your hips, what happened? You start to lose your stability on your knees. Okay. So let's do it. The first exercise I want that all of us together here is legs apart, squat position here. Okay. So now you have to bend more your knees, push your hips back and down, push your hips, your hips join in here and stay here. Okay. So basically what you have to do, you have a really two step backwards lunges, go down kneeling a little bit. If you have funny knees or some problem, don't go too deep. Okay. Just halfway pressure on your heel and back in the center, down and back in the center. I'll do a long face into the camera for you guys. So down and back to the center. Okay. And then the rotation here. One more time. It looks simple, but if you don't put pressure on your heel, if you don't inhale exhale, you can't keep your knees stable. Okay. So to stabilize your knee, you have to do all the things together and back, go down kneeling and back five more, five and back and back. You have to do very precisely every single movement here to stabilize your knees. Two more and back. One more and back. Okay. Perfect.  Let's go for the other side. Okay. Three, two, one. So we step down. And back. Down. And back, attention to a knee. Down. And back. Down. And back, five. Down. Back. Four. And back. Three. And back. Two. And back one more. One. Perfect. Now let's do the same to the side. Okay. So we have to create a little bit instability when you move our leg to the side, you have to hold your body in just one leg here with your knees bent and the position. You can't, you cannot move this leg here. Okay. Stay still a strong here to the side. Squat. And back here. If you want to some challenge here, my advice, don't touch your foot back. Stay in the air. Side. Air. Two. Stay. Three. And four. And five. Come on. Six. I know it's Barney. Side.  Two more. And one more. Great. Relax. Other side. Ready. One. Attention.  Okay. So pay attention. If you're really contracting your core, engage your core pressure on your heel against the floor and try to move your body the way you don't move this side here. Okay. All these muscles. And four. And three. And two. And one. Well done guys. Relax. The last one. Attention here. This is involved a little bit in flexibility. So you have to do the way. To achieve your limits. Okay. When you get through and I can go lower stop. Legs apart. Legs apart here. Shoulders back and down. What you have to do. You have to go down. Keeping the same angle here. Down, down, down, down, down. Try to touch the floor and back. If it starts to collapse your per body. Stop. Okay. So you try to go deeply deeper, but the way you don't change your position. Let's do 10 times to finish. Okay. Three, two, one. Right hand or left. Back. Other hand. Back. Touch. Keep the same position. Touch. The same angle in your trunk. The same angle for your hips. You just go down. Push your hips back. And down. Don't bend over your trunk. Heels against the floor. And three. Breathe in down. Breathe out up. Let's do two more. And one more. Okay. Stay here. Five. Four. Three. Two. One. And relax. Okay. Could you feel the burn? I could feel it. Yeah, I could definitely feel it. Thank you very much. Great. You can see how all those exercises really resemble the position that we have when we're skiing. You know, what Vivian was talking about, about keeping that spine and shin angle the same as you go down. That's exactly the muscles that we need to work when we are skiing. Okay. So I think we have time for Vivian to deliver a final killer. Good exercise. I hate to tell you guys, this is Vivian's specialty. So enjoy your burn. I will be feeling the pain with you. But yeah, over to you Vivian for the last believed exercise. Okay. So now I just moving my, my camera down here, my screen down. So guys, everyone here is the time to use your mat or your towel laid down on the floor on your side. Okay. Attention here. I'm going to do some bridges. I would do some bridges with you guys. Bridges. Sometimes I watch some videos. People do bridges the wrong way. I will explain why. Okay. This is very important to explain this. If you wanted to activate your hips, muscles, your hips joined to move your hips joined. You cannot use your toes. This is wrong. Okay. You're not activating your glutes. You're not activating the back of her thighs. You're not activating cups. It doesn't help us. Okay. To have glutes activation, we needed to just keep your heels pressing against the floor. When you do bridges, you don't use your lower back. How to do it the correct way. First, press your heels against the floor, legs apart, the same distance as your shoulders. Okay. When you go up, the first pressure is on your heels. Press your heels against the floor and breathe out. Pushing your heels against the floor is automatic. Okay. Your hips move up. The way when you push your heels against the floor. If you don't push your heels against the floor, you start to use your lower back. This is the problem. Okay. Heels. Just heels. Engage your core. Secondive in, put everything in and stay here. Basically what you have to do here is your challenge. You have to lift your right leg or left up, stay all the body weight on one heel and back. Other one. You have to step side, one side, other side. You cannot feel pressure on your shoulders. All the pressure is on your heel. You squeeze about when you lift one leg up and back. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, seven, seven, eight, nine, 10, and nine, and eight. Engage your core. Don't collapse your hips down. Two more. Let's do two more. Two. And one more. Stay here. Perfect. Relax your shoulders. Can you feel your bum contracting? Yes. Perfect. Relax your shoulders here. Now, if you feel a little difficult to do one leg up, don't worry. Keep two legs together. Just try to do it slowly. Okay. So basically, if you cannot go with one leg up, two together, going to squeezing and back, or you can come with me, one leg up and lift your hips up with pressure on your heel and back. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. And up and in. And up and in. Five. Five. And back. And four. And back. And three. Come on. Engage your core. And two. And one more. Hold. You stay here. Don't move. Oh my gosh. Yeah, stay here. Don't move. Five. Four. Three. Two. One. The killer.  Don't touch your bum on the floor. Five. Four. Three. Two. One. Let's go other side. The same way. If you did both sides, the other side, do the same. Okay. You have to do the same for both sides. This is very important. Lift your leg up. Heel on the floor. Breathe in and breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out. Heel pressing stronger. And engage your core. Five. And back. Leg pointing up. Four. And three. And two. And one more. Stay here. Challenge. And three and two and one. Leg down. Heel pressing against the floor. Don't touch your bum on the floor. Stay. Five. And four. And three. And two. And one. Well done. You did it. You did it. Kala, could you feel it? Yes or no? Oh my goodness. Yes. I hope you guys were all feeling that too. I did warn you, but thank you very much, Vivian. That was awesome. Okay.

will staff members here today to ensure that the meeting runs smoothly and all applicants and members of the public are able to participate in the meeting at the appropriate times. If you're here today and would like to speak about a case please provide your name clearly into the microphone and please be sure to sign in either at the back of the room or at the podium for documentation purposes. If you're here to speak about a case you must speak up when the chairperson calls for public comment. I'll go ahead and call the roll. Mr. Causey, Mr. Cohn, Mr. Cook, Mr. Harp, Ms. Thomas, and Mr. Tupper here. We have quorum. I'll get a brief overview of the meeting format. Applicants with requests before the planning commissioner allotted a presentation time of 10 minutes. This time should include but is not limited to an overview of the project, case history, and any pertinent meetings held regarding the request. This time also includes all persons presenting information on behalf of the applicants such as attorneys, engineers, and architects. The time limit does not include any questions asked by the planning commission or staff regarding request. During the public comment period members of the general public are given an opportunity to address their concerns and intervals of two minutes. After the public comment period, applicants have five minutes to respond. The administrator has a timer and will make presenters aware of when their time has expired. The planning commission reserves the right to amend these procedures on a case-by-case basis. Are there any changes to the agenda? So far there has been one change to the agenda since publication. Case number five, which is on the zoning map amendment, case ZMA-2022-0012, which is 951 and 919 True Street, has been deferred. Other than that, the agenda still stands. The planning commission uses the consent agenda to approve non-controversial or routine matters by single motion and vote. Examples of such items include approval of site plans, annexations, and street names. If a member of the planning commission or the general public would like to discuss an item on the consent agenda, you must speak up after the consent agenda is read. Then that item is removed from the consent agenda and considered during the meeting. The planning commission then approves the remaining consent agenda items. And I'll just read through the consent agenda. The first item is the approval of the August 11, 2022 minutes. The next item is under future land use amendment and zoning map amendment for pending annexation. We have case annex-2022-0020. This is a lot of addresses on Atlantic Drive and Balsam Road. This is a request recommendation to assign land use classification of Urban Edge Residential Large Lot, UER-2, and assigned zoning of Residential Singh Little Family Medium Lot District RSF-2 at the time of annexation. The property is currently classified as Neighborhood Mixed Residential High Density and Zoned RSMD by Richland County. Case number three, annex-2022-0021, 79.05 acres on the north side of Percival Road, 4407 Percival Road, and 0.775 acres on the east side of Newland Road. Request recommendation to assign land use classifications of Urban Edge Residential Small Lot, UER-1, Urban Edge Multi-Family, pardon me, UEMF, and Urban Edge Community Activity Center, UEAC-1, and Zoned the property Residential Mixed District RM-1, Residential Mixed District 2, and Light Industrial District at the time of annexation. The property is currently classified as Neighborhood Medium Density and Zoned M1 by Richland County. Case four, under the Zoning Map Amendment, is ZMA-2022-0012, 2470 Millwood Avenue, 2514 Cherry Street, 2520 Cherry Street, and 0.05 acres on the west side of Cherry Street. Request to rezone the property for Mixed Use District MU-1 and Residential Mixed District RM-1, a portion within the old Shannon-Lower Waverly Historic Preservation Overlay to Mixed Use District MU-1. And that concludes the consent agenda. There are these slides real quick. Is there anyone from the Planning Commission or public that would like any item removed from the consent agenda? Ma'am, would you? I'm sorry. Would you mind giving your name and let us know which one? I was issue four, number four. My name is Vivian Clark Armstead. I'm president of the MLK Lower Waverly Neighborhood Association. And we're here to protest the changing of the zoning of our community from a residential to residential mix to commercial based on the neighborhood and the historic preservation of our neighborhood and the zoning of having commercial properties and businesses come into a neighborhood that is a residential historical neighborhood MLK Lower Waverly. Is there anyone on the commission has any questions? I guess if we can just get a motion to remove that from the consent agenda. Sure. I'll entertain a motion. Can I get a second? Second. Any discussion? All those in favor? Signify by aye. Aye. Any opposed? Ayes have it. We'll remove four for the regular agenda. Thank you. Thank you. We'll just need a um an a motion to we'll need to just approve the consent agenda minus that item and then we can move on to that case. Could I have a motion for the consent agenda? I'll make a motion to approve the consent agenda Mr. Chair. Second. All those in favor? Do we need to clarify that being off? Yeah it'd be a good idea to just clarify minus item number four. I'll make a motion to approve the consent agenda minus items four ZMA 2020 0012. Second. I have a second. Any discussion? All those in favor? Aye. Aye. Any opposed? Ayes have it. I'll just click back to it so we're gonna okay I'll just do a quick presentation of the um the item in question here. It's a zoning map amendment request and it's a request to rezone the property from mixed use district MU1 and residential mixed district RM1 and a portion within the old Shandon lower Waverly Historic Preservation overlay to mixed use district MU1 and so you could see on the map here those are the parcels in question and the the parcel fronting on Millwood that lot is actually already MU1 so it would be the remaining three that would be that are being requested to go to MU1 from RM1. The applicant has these lots were combined they have been combined um into one lot previously before the zoning request came in but the GIS does not is not showing that yet so that's why the TMS numbers were listed separately. So just moving on to the the staff recommendation. Staff finds that the proposed zoning is consistent with the future land use classifications in the Columbia Compass plan because all parcels included in the rezoning request are to the rear of the lots facing Green Street within the old Shandon lower Waverly Historic neighborhood and are adjacent to commercial properties on Millwood on the Millwood corridor. The requested zoning change will not have a negative impact on the residential neighborhood so staff finds that a recommendation to approve is appropriate here. Thank you. You'll have time to speak. I have any questions for staff? I do. So you're saying that there are other properties in the same area that are already zoned or currently I'm sorry I didn't mean to interrupt but if you look at the map there the the properties in purple are MU1 currently and so you can see that the parcel that fronts Millwood like I said that one is currently already MU1 and the lots the four lots that are highlighted there actually have been combined it's not reflected on the map because it hasn't been updated by GIS but the the owner did combine those those parcels are combined. There is the applicant here? Yes. Is there a current use for what's there right now I guess? So on the parcel that's on the the already MU1 the purple there there's an old I believe like a warehouse building there to the the other like coming down towards Green Street those parcels I believe are currently well it's all the same parcel actually now but there's nothing no buildings on those parcels. But that that building's vacant? For what we know. I believe there may be one or two tenants in there currently. Yes ma'am. I'm not sure of the status of that. Okay yes ma'am thank you. Yeah I know it's kind of been off and on within the applicant might be able to shed more light on that. Okay. Thank you. I think I have one more question. How long has it been combined as one parcel? I would say several months. So it's recent. I'm not sure in the delay the mapping delay why that is because it's been recorded the plat has been recorded I don't have the exact date but I would say in the last several months. Does anyone have any additional questions? The applicants here would like to speak on behalf of this. You can come to the podium. My name is Jason Corsi. I'm the owner of that 2470 Millwood parcel that we're speaking about. Yes that has been combined you know within the last six months it's it's been I guess the GIS has not updated. The big and I've talked to a couple different people that live around the neighborhood. One is Thomas Allen at 2480 Millwood Ave. Another was of Alvina Harrison at 2513 Green Street which butts up to the southeast corner of the property. Joe Green over 928 Short Street which butts up to the left western part of the property and sorry Thomas Allen was to the right right on Millwood. As was mentioned it's the MU zoning and this is really the interior portion this does not butt up on Green Street that we're trying to just make it one can take this parcel which it is but really there's no as far as plans I know there's been two issues there's been some tractor trailers there unfortunately had some bad tenants and they parked those there I went by today they're still there unfortunately they're either going to move those this weekend I know that's been issue these three people that I spoke with did not have an issue with the rezoning I asked they just as a you know respecting courtesy to y'all can I you know we get your feedback and they didn't have any issues with it but the big thing was those tractor trailers I actually talked to my neighbor who's got a CDL license and he's willing to come at no charge with myself to move those trailers the reason they didn't move the tractor trailers they said is they didn't have a guy that was a CDL approved driver so they didn't want to do it but they do have a yard off of 20 I would 20 to the flying J that they want to move those trailers the other question was what are the plans for the property and you and you one zoning as of now my my goal is just get rid of the bad tenants get rid of the tractor trailers leave it open cup cut the lawn and do nothing with it if and when in the future I know if you know if we sold the property it would carry to the next person the only thing I could think of was was the warehouse there it's got an angle to it might could potentially build off the side there's really no plans there's no budget for it right now what that would be just put a couple offices or whatever abides by the MU one zoning and of course go through you know civil engineer and go through the process site plan review that's like that type of thing so that's really the goal but of course didn't want to you know make anybody mad or offend anybody we just wanted to basically clean it up move the trailers I can see how residents would not want to track your trailers I didn't want to track your trailers I've been fighting with these gentlemen to get rid of them for months unfortunately I don't have a CDL I can't move it but again my neighbor does I'm happy to provide proof of that you know and take pictures or whatever is requested so questions or discussion so those are those trailers are those prior from former tenants yeah okay yeah yes sir so to be clear you are trying to change it to MU one to clear those tenants those tenants that excuse me they had a lease that expired August 31st it's now when we passed it they know they're they're aware of that I've been in communication with the Columbia about that I'm doing the best I can to get rid of them they know there's no release I've actually provided a letter that's to them that said we will not renew your lease that's that's the goal is to get them out of there to remove and if I could just clarify that's part of an enforcement action that zoning is is taking place within the zoning department with the applicant here so that's a separate process but that is being handled okay thanks my goal is to comply 100% anyone have any other further questions for the applicant thank you is there anyone here that would like to speak in favor of this and is there one round in that every concern in the track and trailer I never spoke to anyone right now in my house of that 2505 green street so that's not true I hadn't even received a letter and I definitely want my truck and trailer outside my house ma'am would you mind stating your name Mrs. Lysa from Roseanne Lysa LEY SATH and are you neighboring the property 2505 green thank you yes ma'am my name is Dr. Bambi Gaddis I live at 904 Oak Street in a lower Waverly MLK area I'm not here representing just my husband and I but I'm here representing my neighbors I have visuals of what we're discussing here several months ago we spoke with police chief because we were concerned about what we could see was happening there there were tankers there are trucks there's less here yesterday than there are on previous occasions but on previous days there have been a full compartment of total trucks so what I'd like you to visualize is the Baptist church where that lies directly behind it you will see it in the visuals there are homes of my neighbors who that where they have set up fences where they have a total obstruction to to family and community activities if you see other pictures you'll see that it runs there is a small section that one a few individuals may be able to walk through because it's the house and it's the fencing that has been set up it is a complete visual obstruction imagine if that was behind your home do I live directly there no but I it's only a matter of time that if we say nothing about what's impacting our community that it's going to end up being another slot and another lot I'm unclear why what's quite interesting and I'll end on this is that the sign that's on the fencing that discusses the public meeting on the 20th is totally opposite of this meeting that's occurring right now so my final request is the following four concerns one marking on the zoning committee meeting announcement sign is incorrect and no steps were taken to correct the meeting date number two staff found that zoning changes will not have a negative impact on residential neighborhoods what studies did staff conduct to make this determination who was consulted about the change and what's the neighborhood consulted number three is the proposed rezoning if it's approved will that facilitate the rezoning subsequent removal or continue gerrymandering of current historic preservation districts that run from millwood to harden and green to jervay and finally what are the plans for the rezoning portion of the land will it impact the quality of life for families that live nearby and the two churches that are located nearby it's our proposition and supposition that that's exactly what's going to occur and we're asking that you strongly consider not approving the current proposal thank you yes ma'am my name is francis parker my family owns the properties at 924 and 928 short street which directly about the rear well the rear of their property about the land that you all want to rezone so that is there's a residence located there and putting that commercial business there when we don't even know what type of commercial business it may become in the future will be destructive to their quality of life it serves to further marginalize those of us from a marginalized community and we see that just by the very fact that we have to come and stand before a group of men none of whom look like us for a man who does not look like us who wants to change the quality of life in a neighborhood that has been part of my life for almost 65 years now we're opposed to that we're opposed to you all approving any action that will destroy the quality of life of my family on short street thank you Barbara Whaley and I'm a resident at Old Shandon and Waverly and Martin Luther King and my question is the applicant said that he's going to clear the area but why do he have to rezoning if you're going to clear it and the other question is that we can't go in another neighborhood take if I wanted a business can I go to Devereux, Canterbury and put a chain entrance across a public street and put a business there I can't do that so I don't think it's fair is there anyone else that would like to speak for against this members of the board I'm Jim Daniel I'm a commercial real estate broker and I've done some work in that area and trying to continue to do some a couple questions here first of all this building was used for years by Puglia Morris as their storage facility for their business uh if you look at the map uh at the end of Cherry Street for what takes a left to green that property is owned by the city of Columbia if you go down Green Street uh at that corner it's own another property is owned by the Columbia Housing Development Corporation so the city also has some involvement in this area typically when one of the issues that I know the neighborhoods have been fighting for years is the intrusion of commercial in the neighborhoods typically it only goes one block deep what we're looking at here of course is more than one block deep so I think this would go against what I'm used to seeing the city normally approve is a commercial intrusion would only go a block in and and finally you've got the historic uh Taylor Street Baptist Church Taylor Morrow Baptist Church uh just to the left and uh you know as the ladies have spoken this is all part of the lower O'Shand and lower Waverley Historic District and I think uh at this point in time unless there's a designated use for this property I think rezoning is really premature thank you a couple questions it sounds like a lot of what we're hearing is zoning enforcement yes this issue could potentially exist independent of the zoning that's correct so the zoning enforcement issues are completely separate from the rezoning request itself so the rezoning request would would alter the zoning of the property um but the zoning enforcement issues are currently being dealt with would I guess my question is um under the current zoning on the front parcel are those semi trucks actually allowed there on the MU one the one that's already MU one so there has been a violation issued for that already and that's that's addressing that situation but the but currently that's I believe the trucks at least some of the trucks were sitting I have my inspector went out there so I'm not sure but we're on the residential portion which is not allowed there you know you can't have trucks on the residential portion obviously um the commercial portion it gets a little you know sticky depends on the business if there's a business there that has a commercial vehicle um potentially but not as it stands no they are not allowed to be where they are okay and then I guess building on that I'm just wondering if if we did approve this rezoning then they could conceivably move further back allowably I mean if it would depend on what businesses were approved to go into the building or any potential future buildings that were built there um so it would have to be part of a business I'm not sure any business allowed in MU one you know would be would be fair game there and if any trucks were associated with that business they would be allowed to be there potentially but not just random you know 18 wheelers right and I think the applicant state of these aren't his trucks this is his truck yeah it's your tent but the tenant is no longer a tenant this lease is about my understanding no that the the lease is ended at the end of august okay thank you I believe um in speaking with him earlier the trucks were removed at some point and then were brought back you can confirm with him but I believe that was the case um that they were all gone at one point and then recently they have come back so that that will be you know again that's part of the enforcement process that our office is dealing with as well I've had that problem before that's why I'm asking anyone have any questions of staff further questions for the applicant um there are there currently any homes or structures on those three parcels that are being rezoned or has to be rezoned on the ones requested to be rezoned correct any homes correct um not to mine is there one yes okay I'll let them I'll let them speak to that would you mind coming up thank you number one you saw the sign that said flex services they're renting that space as well they're subleasing with the individuals so they can park their vehicles on that lot number two one of the complaints of residents is when they do park they come in at two one two and three in the morning so when they bring those big diesel trucks through that small avenue they're waking they're waking up everybody so again I would submit that if I place myself in the position of these folks who I'm not sure maybe the district guard is coming from the fact that some are not homeowners I'm not sure but whatever the bias is that potentially is there they're totally disrupting the the the the comfort the peace that everybody would like to have in their community with those diesel trucks ma'am ma'am do you mind sharing which lot that is being proposed for rezoning as a homeowner so looking at the as it's outlined on the map and the the parcels on the tax map there there are three lots so so let me let me let me proclaim my ignorance so I'm speaking to a body of of leaders who are making zoning decisions that's not what I do what I am is a homeowner who partners works with and supports members of my community I drive by there through there every single day so when the so when it's being said that these trucks are gone they've never been gone they've never been gone since the day they moved in they're still there the pictures I showed you were yesterday there have been other moments when there have been three four five trucks even larger than the one that you saw including tankers in that small lot how they get in there I have no idea but the disruption is of great magnitude and that is what this community is addressing um to your question about how much of it it's the whole thing all it takes is just drive by once and you'll see the invasion of on your own and that speaks to what I'm saying I can't speak to you in your terminology but I can tell you from the moment I turned down stark and go through the back way to get to millwood all I see is fencing and green covering trying to give a camouflage view that it's not there but you can't get past it because it's everywhere from the front to the back of lander miss green's house all the way through the neighborhood and I traveled all the way around to millwood and I drove up in the front lot of that building and that's where I found the sign that said they're renting that space so there's clearly some storage on one side of this particular building and on the other side is the driveway I think that these big tankers drive into and park but I'm what this gentleman knows far more than I about the size I guess to change the terminology you all emphatically said that yes there was a house on a lot that he's proposing the house that you saw in my pictures is the house that the chain link fits imagine it sits here the house is right here so they built that fence right alongside and so for the record my neighbor who lives in that house and they give their birthday parties for their children they have to contend with that fence thank you I could just clarify really quick about the fence so there is a fence that is located it's on along green street so I guess you all can't see that on your iPads but there are parcels fronting green street here those are not part of the request the rezoning request so I believe the fence that she's referring to is along green street it's a fence with the green material in within the slats and that is also being handled as part of an enforcement action but that those lots are along green street here again the lots have all been combined they are all owned by the applicant but those two lots are not included in the rezoning request and they are where my pointer is right now but that fence also blocks off the continuation of cherry street which blocks off a city street that runs behind the houses on short street but the bigger issue is not just the opposition to this particular issue of the tankers in the truck it's the opposition to the whole rezoning of our community which has had been a historically residential community and so we're really opposed to it becoming a commercial area and removing our historical overlay and restore and also removing some of our residential properties which could now be destroyed and that the historical significance of an african-american community that has been around since the beginning of of the city that we are opposed to not just this particular company or this particular issue of the tanker trucks it is the issue of the total rezoning of this particular part of our community that i am opposed to and that i am here representing as president of the mlk law waverly neighborhood association we are opposed to having our community rezoned period thank you hold on please um i've got two questions no sorry first that thank you um so when it looks like cherry street comes down past what looks paved so it's my understanding that cherry street has been absorbed in during the lot combination process when all of those lots were combined um i at least where those parcels are that part of cherry street has been absorbed into those parcels i'm not sure what the legal process you know what occurred with that part of okay but then the city's piece next to that is that zoned uh r m which it looks like coming down that road there's another piece yep hold on just a second sir thank you looks like the pointer's not working anymore but i was so which where are you referring to where where cherry comes down and eventually turns to become green if there's a curve there yeah we're uh that that piece do you know the zoning on the city piece so that's r m one that is our okay yes so the brown there um on the screen that's the currently r m one zoning okay um if you've already spoken i appreciate it if you haven't will entertain it and then leave the apple pen a chance to rebut i haven't seen it yet sir thank you my point is is that i don't know how chair she doesn't go running the green chair goes behind green how in the world do they take city property and change it actually i've been there 73 years i've been in that neighborhood chair street goes all the way down and when it gets to green it goes behind behind that building i don't even know how they put a building on that that's to say the property how do you mind stating your name my name is chesley price i apologize i'm chesley price i've never lived in that community for 73 years that's a street that runs behind cherry street does not run and uh into uh green street chair street runs behind green street it stops at green street so i don't know how that company got that property because that property city that's a city street it runs where that company is but i we never knew how but they got that company how they blocked it off it's a street yeah and i'm i'm opposed to it i'm opposed to anything in that community i've been there all my life right baby i'm opposed to it would the applicant like to speak on this anymore in regards to the property just the yeah the property was purchased with the 247 millwood as was mentioned there's five lots three of which are within that blue area which was to be rezoned there's no houses in any of those lots again to readdress the the tenant which i have not wanted there since months now the tankers they will be moved i'm happy to show that i'm happy to do it myself with my neighbor with the cdl to come and move the tankers i think we all agree that's a terrible we do not want those there at all in any way shape or form as for future use the only thing i can think about besides clearing that out and mowing the lawn is off the potential backside of that building if we could add on at some point and do some like light offices or so that's it so i'm not trying to redo anything with the neighborhood i'm trying to be you know respectful of the neighborhood the history there i you know i you know i also went to u.s.c in columbia and i'm you know that's that's the goal i'm not trying to change anything or redo anything that's really it get the tankers out their lease again has been terminated in august it has not been renewed the city inspector is part of the action i i gave him a certified letter that i sent to the tenants that said a 90 day notice and again i think it was 30 or 60 day notice that i said your lease will your lease will not be renewed so they're gone they're right the tankers there yesterday i was there an hour ago there's two red tractor trailer tankers there currently right now that's that's correct it's absolutely true again if i've got to come and move it with a neighbor mind it's got a cdl i'll do it and i'll show proof and i you know want to show full respect to everybody here and i respect everybody's opinion so that's the that's that's what i want to be known so how long have you owned this property i guess that was my question too and how long have the tankers and tractor trailers been there in your year of owning it those gentlemen had a one-year lease and i i was not aware that they to the extent that they were going to do that they've been a problem since they won't i've tried to have a legal responsibility can't just evict somebody they paid they paid every single month i tried i started eviction process one time after day five you know rents doing the first it's late on the fifth you can start you know i did a certified mail letter to try to get them out then they paid the rent so that stops the eviction process so i am working with the city with the infractions separate from this was um how do we get these these gentlemen gone and uh you legally can't do anything with it just throw them out they have rights right um but i've wanted them out for months and i've told them they've known about these infractions from the city for for months and um you know it's it's not as simple as just towing the car you know i mean they're they're big unfortunately they're big tractor trailers so but i'm again i'm happy to show everybody you know that we're gonna we're gonna move those and they've since moved out most of the other there's two tractor trailers there they've got one car hauler i talked to the gentleman an hour ago he was supposed to meet me there he didn't show up he says that's going to be gone tomorrow we'll see but the key is those big tractor trailers so again we're prepared at at my cost of my time to get rid of those things because that's never been wanted by anybody myself included um i had a question for staff it's mentioned that all the the previous um separate lots i think he said it was five of them are now combined was there any type of zoning uh analysis or determination made prior to them being combined or that was an administrative process just to combine the lots so and that was actually done in let's see five twenty four twenty two was the date the plot was recorded so that's but that's an administrative process um that was done prior to the submittal of the rezoning application so it says possible to combine parcels when they're when the zoning's known yes or different and again even though it is combined the two lots fronting green street that are not they're not highlighted in blue up there because they're not part of the request so there's two lots and so the zoning line will not extend if the rezoning were to be approved it would not extend down to green street the mu one it would stop where those blue lines are but those blue lines are in a neighborhood correct so part of the request is to remove the overlay from those lots as well so they are currently in the overlay yes if you see on the the map there it shows that on the I believe this the patch line is the the neighborhood overlay line okay the fact that they've gone across unopened cherry street and and changed the zoning seems to go against past practice by the city of not rezoning for commercial use property that is more than one block from a major street I represented the owner of a small lot at the corner of south walk amour and rosewood that was zoned years ago by the city as commercial it was only 40 feet wide we looked into trying to buy the house next door to get a decent commercial lot out of it and we got nowhere because that was residential this doesn't seem to be treating this the location the same way they treated the one that I was doing I mean I don't see how the city could rezone the property across the street of them then it's maybe continuous but you actually have a street there that's not open it seems like to me that rezoning of the property on the right side of that street was improper to begin with thank you I think at this point we've heard a lot of comments and are appreciative of everybody's concerns and is there any discussion amongst commissioners something that's on that regarding the cherry street I've got a copy from the county 2008 the plat was recorded with cherry street this is what I was told by the city plat was recorded cherry street the parcel that is recorded and is not a three-through street anymore um I'd like to you know I can submit this but this is on the city record so as of 2008 well before I owned the property the plat was recorded cherry street the parcel that is recorded is not a three-through street anymore so that is recorded as well thank you you all need to see that yeah I see that real quick please there's a lot of discussion about the um about that parcel the the old cherry street right of way and to clarify before he combined the parcels that that parcel was a separate parcel with its own separate tax map number so it was a parcel prior to him acquiring the property and combining it with the all his other properties thank you all right did anybody understand that any further discussion happy entertainment motion mr chair I'd like to make a motion to approve zma 2022-0012 got a motion in a second further discussion all those in favor signify by saying aye aye all those opposed no no do a roll call please mr. quasi mr. kohn no mr. kutt yes mr. hart no yes mr. thomas no and mr. tupper no the motion fails that's going to bring us to our next case which is a which is 14 14.4 acres the southwest corner broad river road and piney woods road and this is a request to this is this 74 lot attached single family subdivision was approved by the planning commission in october on october 4th 2021 the planning commission granted approval of the site plan subject to compliance with staff comments which included the construction of sidewalks along piney woods road and a side path along broad river road and the applicant is requesting that these two conditions be removed from the approval due to the request from the harbison group design development review commission in an effort to maintain the existing vegetated buffer along both roads the property is located in the harbison plan unit development and approval is required prior their approval is required prior to any land development activity and if the commission is so inclined to grant this request we would just ask that all of the conditions from the previous grant of approval remain except those two and i believe the applicant is um president so he can explain the case and mr. chairman commissioners i'm alan hutte with great southern homes we're the developer of this parcel as staff said this came before y'all back in april and was approved and we've got to go get approval from the harbison community association and they informed us that they did not like two things about it one was the sidewalk and side path requirement which would eat into that vegetative buffer and additionally there are no sidewalks with any mile of the property so it would literally be a sidewalk to nowhere so we agree with them about removing the requirement for the sidewalk and the side path additionally i don't think staff mentioned this but we're asking to remove the emergency entrance that was in the first site plan harbison community association had also requested we remove that and we actually did some research and that second entrance is not required so we would request that you approve the removal of that in the site plan as well thank you i think we also have a letter from um harbison county association specific to this everyone's had a chance to review it that's correct and they also there's also an email from them um in the in the packet one point of clarification um that's the emergency access that is provided um that on the previous comments the fire marshal recommended approval of the site plan the emergency access was shown on that site plan however they have also recommended approval without the emergency access being shown so it's it's removed from the site plan and it's really didn't need to be included as an as an amendment to the site plan since the fire marshal it's not required and the fire marshal has approved it just just for my purposes be clear it's the same packet we've prior approved we're just asking to take the correct exit in the sidewalks correct okay that's correct at the request of the um harbison group and you know they you know they the developer was willing to put in the sidewalks but however they ran into that with the harbison group so that's why they requested it anyone have any questions for staff or the applicant is there anyone here that would like to speak for against this not seeing any do we need to wait a little bit or okay to entertain a motion mr chairman i'd like to make a motion to approve a splat two zero two one dash zero zero eight eight there's a motion on the table can we get a second second is that with staff comments uh i'll amend my second with staff comments motion with a second all those in favor signify by saying aye aye all opposed motion approve as there is no other business do i have a motion to adjourn should i have a motion to adjourn second second all those in favor aye
