I'm going to call in on 925-389-769 as soon as we start the meeting she'll be on the side. Okay. Thank you. February 17th meeting of the city of Santa Cruz planning commission to order. Thank you all for joining Apologies for getting going a little bit late. Clerk could we please have a roll call here. Okay. Yeah. Like we have a full house for the evening so there's no absentee. Is there any statements of disqualification for any items on the agenda tonight. Okay. Hearing none we will move along. We will move along to oral communications. This is time for any members of the public to address the commission for any matters that may come before the commission in the future. This is not for agenda items on the agenda tonight but anything that is of relevance to the commission that may come in the future. So if you would like to address the commission you will have three minutes. You can raise your hand by hitting star nine if you would like to address the commission at this time. Are we seeing anybody who would like to address the commission at this time. Okay. Last call for that and we will move right along. Okay. Moving to the next agenda item approval of the minute for the February 2022. Is there any questions or clarifications from any of the commission. Or I entertain a motion. Do you actually have one question for staff. We did actually flip flop the order of which the items were heard and that was not reflected on the minutes. Is that something that we need to correct and continue this item or maybe a little direction from staff on that. I think I'm fine with it. Does any commissioners have any issues with that. And if not I will entertain a motion for the approval of the minutes for the February 3rd meeting. I think the motion but I think you need to ask if anybody from the public wants to comment on the minutes. Okay. Does any members of the public want to comment on the minutes. Seeing none. Clark are you seeing anybody with raised hands. Okay. So hearing none now we will entertain a motion for approval of the minute. I move to approve the minute. For a second. I'll second it. Okay. Commissioner Kennedy moves for approval. Commissioner Maxwell seconds. Could we please have a roll call vote. Thank you. Hi. Sorry minutes approved unanimously. Okay. Moving on. So on tonight's agenda we have a consent calendar. And just as a little background for commissioners in the public. A consent agenda includes items that staff feel are noncontroversial that align with the applicant. And that can be moved through a single motion for approval. And at first we'll go ahead and ask any commissioners if they would like to remove any items from the consent agenda. There are two items. It's the mission street project, a special use permit to establish a 24-hour fitness gym in an existing building located in a CC zone district. And the second item on the consent agenda is to continue the oversized vehicle ordinance implementation appeal to the March 3rd meeting. Is there any commissioners who would like to pull any one of those agenda items off the consent agenda? Yes. Commissioner Schifrin. I don't want to pull the mission street item off the agenda, but I would like to ask a question if I could. Yes. Go ahead. I'm just wondering about the landscaping along mission street. The site planning shows very little landscaping. And I was just wondering why, you know, for some explanation about why, given the importance of mission speed as an entrance to the city, there wasn't more landscaping required or provided? But maybe I'm not reading the drawing correctly. Hi, Chair Schifrin. This is Samantha from the city planning department. The project planner, Lane Zorich, is here. If you could promote her to a panelist, then I'm sure she'd be happy to answer any questions. Hi. Can you guys hear me? Yes. Go ahead. Yes. So I believe one of the conditions of approval that I included include adding a landscaping plan that will improve and increase the plantings that are located on the front facade there, if you are correct. It is pretty minimal at the moment. And we would like to enhance the look and attractiveness of mission street. Great. So that plan will be approved by staff? Right. When they come in for their tenant improvement building permit, that will be reviewed at that time to make sure that they are putting in some enhanced plantings in that area. Okay. Thank you. Okay. I also have one clarifying question. I don't want to pull it from the consent agenda. This is a question for staff. I do believe I remember a past project coming before us and a discussion back and forth with staff about including, and this is not necessarily for this project, but just in the future, including with the staff recommendation, an overview map showing adjacent properties. And then also, I thought there was a requirement, and I may have missed it, to include in the staff report kind of the notification to neighbors. And it may have been in there, so I may have missed it. I just wonder if staff could comment on those two components. An overview map for adjacent properties when we have to use kind of special use to come through and also just summary of the notification for neighbors. I don't know how much I can speak to that. That might be something that Samantha might also be able to discuss further. Yeah, this is absolutely for staff, for sure. Okay. So maybe Sam or someone else from city staff is chiming in on that one. Thank you. Ms. Orts. Thanks, Chair Dawson. So we do include an overview map of adjacent properties. I think you're referring to the site section. Yeah, those are required for new development so we can see the impact of lights and new construction and the size and mass of the building on the street and on adjacent buildings. In this case, they're just reusing an existing building. So Lane, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe there's no new actual construction proposed, at least on the exterior. And I don't recall that we were directed to include an exhibit that showed notice to the neighbors, but we certainly could do so if that's what you wanted to see. Yeah, I think it would just be helpful for both commissioners and the public just to get a better sense of, I understand that there's no additional building in this, but just to understand kind of the adjacent property usage, if you guys are doing that anyway, it would just be nice to have that included in staff recommendations moving forward. I don't really want to belabor it, but I see Mr. Marlett may have something to add. So go ahead. Yeah, just a point of clarification. So are you talking about the list of the folks that got notices or the radius map that shows the properties that got noticed? The latter? A sentence that says, you know, we notified properties within however many seats of this, you know, like I said, it may have been in the staff report, but I think I would just find that really helpful. So if I have neighbors that, you know, come and are asking questions, I could, you know, point to that there was notification made. And also, again, just an overview map, including in the staff report, since that's something that's part of the process anyway. I just think it would be more informative to both commissioners and the public if we could do that in the future. Okay, so if it's not included on the plans, as was the case this time, we can certainly include that as an exhibit. Yeah, that's not a problem. Yeah, that would be very helpful. Any other questions or comments before we go to the public to see if they have any wants to remove anything from the consent agenda? Okay, so I'm going to go ahead and open the public hearing. If any members of the public would like to remove either one of these items from the consent agenda, I can hear that testimony now and then we could go ahead and do that and move it off for a full discussion. Are there any members of the public who would like to remove either of these items from the consent agenda? If so, please raise your hand now by pressing star or nine. And are you seeing any raised hands? I am not. Okay, we'll give it another second or two to make sure everybody had a chance. Still seeing no hands raised. So we will go ahead and close the public hearing and bring it back to commission. I would share motion for approval of the consent agenda with the staff recommendations as run. Second that. Okay. Moved by commissioner Schifrin, seconded by commissioner Greenberg. Could we please have a roll call vote? Okay. So consent agenda is approved unanimously, the staff recommendations. And so we will move on to item number four, local regulation amendment ordinance. So can we please have a staff report start us off here for item number four. Good evening commission. I'm Catherine Donovan senior planner in the advanced planning division.  Here we go. So we're looking tonight at this local regulation update. And these first came to the commission in a package of amendments in September of 2020. At that time. You can't see the PowerPoint yet. Oh, sorry to interrupt. Oh, thank you. And try sharing that again. Yeah, let me try it again. You see it now. Yeah. As I was saying, the regulations first came to the commission in a packet with other amendments in September of 2020. And at that time, the commission pulled the slope regulations from the rest of the packet and continued that item. And move the rest of the amendments along to the city council. We've returned with a slope regulation amendment. On January of this year. And the commission recommended approval of a small section. But continued the remainder of the amendments. So we're coming back now with that remainder. And because we have. Two new commissioners. We'll be spreading through. A large portion of the original presentation. So. Just. I'm sorry if it bore you, but just bear with me here. So as background here. The general plan is the guiding land use documents. And the zoning ordinance implements the general plan. The 2030 general plan updated policies related to development on slope. But the zoning ordinance still reflects the 20. Oh, five. General plan. And you can see at the bottom of the slide, there's some examples. What did what different presence of slope look like? And I tried to find one that showed 30 and 50 and I could not find one. So this shows. 17. 33. 66. And 100%. So the 33 would be close to the 30%. The 66 is. Considerably more than 50%. And the 20. Oh, five general plan, the slope policies. That 30% and 50%. Limit. The 2030 general plan. Remove those. Limit and based their recommendations. To use. New construction techniques and best management practices. And also directed that geotechnical reports be required. And that's where there was a potential for slope instability. And I have here the actual policies from the general, from the. 20. Oh five general plan. Which are lengthy, but you can see that. They limit development. On. Over 30%. To have it on greater than 50. And. Required. To have the specific criteria to be met. For development. Between 30 and. 20. 30 general plan. Remove those policies entirely. And. As I said earlier. Recommended. Updating the zoning ordinance. To address new construction techniques and best management policies. Review. View the slope development provisions in the zoning ordinance. And update them as deemed necessary. To discourage development on unstable slope. And to require engineering geology reports. When in the opinion of the city's planning director. Activation and grading. Have the potential. For exposure. To slope instability. Or the potential to create unstable slope or soil conditions. So the goals of this update were to comply with the 2030 general plan. But also to reduce and streamline the applications we get for minor projects. As I mentioned in the staff report. The current planning division gets a lot of. Applications for. Project that. Really are quite minor and. That have to come before the planning commission often just go on the consent calendar which. Is a is a waste of time and money. For both the applicants. And for staff and the commission. Who could be spending their time. Better on. More complex projects. We're also. Looking. At the potential of. Allowing development where it is feasible. And requiring. Site specific geological report. So that. They would have science based engineering solution. When it would be feasible to develop on those. The proposed changes. Prior that geological. Review that I spoke of. On or near slopes of 30% or greater. They require the engineering solution or relocation if the report shows there are issues. That can't be solved by engineering. We added some exemptions to the requirement for a slope permit. And we changed the existing rating. Exemption from. 100 cubic yards to 50 cubic yards. Visualized how much 100 cubic yards wasn't decided that's an awful lot. We also updated the findings to address. The visual and environmental impact. And we removed. From the list of regulations. Where. Planning development project may vary we removed the slope. Modification. Regulations. We also updated the application. Process. And. Combined the slope modification and slope variance. Into a slope development permit. We. Modified the public hearing requirements. Currently there's no public hearing. If the project is less than 10 feet or sorry greater than 10 feet. From a 30% slope. And it goes through the planning commission. If it's within 10 feet of a 30% slope. And what we're proposing. Is that the no public hearing requirements. Are for. Projects that are on or within 20 feet of a 30% slope. And the public hearing baby for the. Zoning game administrator. If the project is on or within 20 feet of a 50% slope. This. Section of the zoning ordinance is also part of the local coastal. Program. And so. It. Will the amendment will also be a local coastal. Program. And so we assessed it for consistency with the local coastal. Program. And found that is consistent with the policies. Related to coastal access and view protection. It will require geotechnical review. With engineering solutions. Or relocation of the project to prevent or mitigate development. On unstable slope. And it retains. And strengthens the findings for the slope permit. Is. The map. Of. The areas in the city that have. And you can see they are the areas that are. We believe black lines. And then. For the most part in the green areas. Which are the open space and park lands. The large blue area is UCSC which. The city does not have development control over. There's also some. Small amount of slope. Along. And. High street. And then. Various. It follows the various creek. Locations. And then also. Hard to see on this map. But along the coast. There are quite steep slopes also. One of the issues that. Seem to be. Difficult. For people to. Visualize is that. Is that of the density. The general plan. Requires that development. Of at least. The minimum density. Be applied when develop. Developing a property. Unless. There are constraints associated with the natural environment. That require a lower density. And the percentage of. Alone is not a constraint. There are. Many instances of property that are developed that have. Deeper than 30 or even 50% slope. The constraint. Comes. When you discover that. That. Locas. Associated. With. Unstable soil. And the geotechnical report. Establishes that constraint. Because the general plan density is based on. The gross. Area of the property. The amendment would not change that density. We're not changing the size of the property. So it would not change the number of units that would be. Allow. On each property. It would. Allow. Units. Located. Potentially located on 50%. Or greater slopes. But they would be units that would have been allowed. Elsewhere on the property. There are also two state laws that have come up. With regard to. Development on the slope. The first is SB nine. Which was recently passed and went into effect in January. It allows. Two units on most single family parcels. And also allows most single family parcels. To be split into two lot. With two units on each of them. And that can only be done once. The housing accountability act. Or HAA. Also requires that development be allowed. At the maximum general plan density. And the proposed amendment. Would not increase the number of units that would be allowed. By. Either the housing accountability act. Or by SB nine. So what the amendment would do. Is that it would. Give an additional level of review. The geotechnical report. That would now be codified into our zoning ordinance. And those geotechnical reports. May show constraints. That would lower the general plan density. For the housing accountability act. So if that geotechnical report. Showed that a. Portion of the property. Had an instability and could not be developed. Then. The density for that property. Would be based on. The net. Lot area. Not the gross lot area. So the lot area. Would be smaller. And therefore the number of units may be smaller. The geotechnical report. Could also expose unsafe. Conditions. Which would allow the building official to. Deny. The building. Of. Bowling unit. Under both. SB nine. And the housing accountability act. Another issue of concern. That was raised with. With. Resistionship to. Look. Lot. Is wildfire danger. Wildfires are an increasing danger in the west. And. Generally. Would stick with their address through the. State. Map. Very high. Fire hazards. Severities on that. And none of those are mapped within the city. In. 2019. The city also added. A wildland. Urban interface ordinance. Which. Math areas. That are. Particular concern because it's where. Housing. And development are close to. Wildland. Which. Is. Endangered from fire. And that. Ordinance. The. Ordinance. Ordinance. Ordinance. Ordinance. Ordinance. Ordinance. Ordinance. Ordinance. Bill. Though the building division. To apply additional. Construction means and methods.  And again. The number of units that could. Be built in the wildland. Urban interface. With the amendment. Would not change. It's the same amount that. Could be developed. Now. properties in the well-known urban interface that have slopes. A portion of the property is slopes, and a portion of it is not. But the entire property is within the WUI district and is in danger from wildfire. The fires don't stop where the property gets flatter. And this is a map that shows the WUI area, and superimposed over that are the slopes. And you can see those in that sort of yellow-orange color. And as shown before, the vast majority of this area is UCSD land or parkland. But there's definitely areas of development. If you look carefully, you'll see that generally those areas of steep slope border the development so that there's usually a single row of housing along the edge of an open space or a slope area. You can also see that there are other orangish areas that are outside of the WUI area. Some of those are outlined in the creek, but there's also that section that goes along Escalona and High Street. Before the CEQA review of this document, the California Environmental Quality Act, the city retained DUDEC to review compliance with the general plan 2030 EIR. And DUDEC prepared an addendum as there are no substantial changes to the general plan that would invalidate the analyses of the EIR that were done for the general plan. There were some questions about certain parts of the addendum at the previous Planning Commission meeting and DUDEC revised the addendum based on the commissioner and staff concerns. And you have the revised version in the red line version in your packet. We also had the law firm Rami Morris Manley prepare a legal opinion about the appropriateness of using an addendum and whether there was any requirements to review impact from SB 9 as part of this project. The legal opinion from Rami Morris Manley, RMM, was that an addendum to an approved EIR is used when there are no new or more significant impact caused by a change in the project or circumstances. And the issue was brought up that the post SB 9 allowed additional housing on single-family lots that that was a change in circumstances, but the legal opinion firmly stated that the enactment of a new law does not constitute new information or change circumstances that would trigger sequence subsequent point review provisions or in terms of whether an addendum is the appropriate environmental review document. And they also stated that any increases in development due to SB 9 would not be considered reasonably foreseeable. That's sort of a technical term in this instance that is described in the legal opinion. And there are a number of cases that discuss that reasonable foreseeability. One that is quite similar to what we're seeing here in that it had to do with a 27-unit development that would have allowed second unit with the approval of a youth permit. They were sued because the environmental document was sued because they said it did not include an analysis of those second units. And the legal determination was that the development of those second units was not reasonably foreseeable because it depended on the individual property owners and there was no way to predict who was going to build a unit and where it was going to be. And the environmental review of any potential future unit would occur at the time when those units came forward as a project. So there were questions on the addendum and this is mainly before the prior meeting that we wanted to cover those because they continued to come up. One of the questions related to added development, because we would remove the prohibition from development on 50% slope, that would mean that an area that currently is not allowed to be could potentially be developed. However, the same number of units would need to be the maximum number on each individual property. They could be relocated, so some of them might be able to be built on the slope, but they could not add new units that would be built on the slope. However, with the review of the geological report, if that report came back and said that there are areas where the slope is unstable and can't be built, that might actually lower the density of the property because it would be looking at the net lot area rather than the gross plot area. The general plan requires actual constraints to lower the density and the slope percentage alone is not a constraint. The SB9 and the Housing Accountability Act each require specific development capacity that goes beyond what's allowed under our local development standards. However, that would be allowed to be built on the slope whether or not this ordinance went into effect. There were also a number of questions about the wildfire danger, and we went through these earlier. The very high fire hazard severity zones are set by the state, and there are none within the city limits. We adopted the wildfire urban interface ordinance in 2019, which allows the building department added code enforcement or building codes to be used in those areas that would use higher building standards for fire prevention. The development plans are reviewed by both the building vision and the fire department. There are also specific fire standards that apply in the wildfire wildland urban interface areas. Additional information was provided online this week. It includes the EPA's smart growth fixes for climate adaptation and resilience, which is a booklet put out by the EPA addressing a number of climate adaptation measures where smart growth principles can be used. And then also the city's 2017-2022 local hazard mitigation plan five-year updates. So addressing the information in the EPA's document and the local hazard mitigation plan, we also posted the documents that are used to review developments for anything in the city related to storm water and the best management practices for storm water. And also, there's a specific provision in this post amendment that storm water to and from comply with city, regional water boards, and state requirements. The local hazard mitigation plan had a map that showed potential landslide areas. And this legend is very hard to read. That dark brown is definite. The lighter brown is, I can even read it, definite rigid. That doesn't make sense. The tan is probable, and the yellow is questionable. And if you look, there is nothing within the city except those areas of the lighter yellow, which are questionable. And those areas are in the UCSC area and in Pogonet Park. In order to approve, to recommend approval to the city council of these ordinances, the proposed, the following findings has to be made. And they are that the proposed amendment serves and furthers public necessity and general community welfare, that the proposed amendment serves and furthers good zoning practice, and that the proposed amendment is in general conformance with the principle of policies and land use designations set forth in the general plan and local coastal plan. And I would be happy to take any questions or comments.  And that completes my presentation. Hey, thank you so much, Catherine. Can we go back to go ahead and unshare screen so we can go back to the screen? So we'll go ahead and move into commissioners with any clarifying questions for the staff report. We'll have plenty of time for comments. But this is a section, if you need any clarifying questions based on the staff report or anything you've read in the staff report, the written staff report, this is time. So any commissioners have any clarifying questions for staff this time before the public hearing? Okay, seeing none, before I open the public hearing, I just want to remind the public that we need to ensure that we can sprain our comments to the policy that is being considered. I will not tolerate any ad hominem attacks on commissioners. And I just encourage the public to be professional and respectful and focus their comments on the policy and sharing with their commissioners their thoughts on the policy. And so with that, I will go ahead and open the public hearing. Each member of the public will have three minutes to address the commission. The clerk has a timer so you will hear a beep at the end of your three minutes. And if you haven't already, we would please ask you to wrap up immediately after you've heard the beep. If you would like to address the commission on item number four, slope regulations amendment, please go ahead and raise your hand. I'll go ahead and open the public hearing and raise your hand by pressing star nine. And the clerk will call on you in order. Go ahead and pick it over to you. We have the clerk call in the first speaker, please. The first speaker. If speaker, you'll have three minutes. Please identify yourself and address the commission. Thank you. Well, I suppose that's me. My name is Mark Framac. I'm not here for ad hominem attacks. But I would like to tell you that I have a home in Santa Cruz, thanks to the slope modification ordinance that you're about to hopefully revive. The property of my house design was subject to at least in a course of 11 years, 12 hearings before the planning commission, and five or six hearings before the city council and two lawsuits. And we're talking about a house that was built within 20 feet of a 30% slope. The slope modification is based on a very broad generality that building on a slope is unstable and unsightly. It's a lot like saying that immigrants are gang members. My house, when the foundation was poured, the engineer and the soil engineer came out to the site and looked great embarrassment. They turned to me and they said, this house is going nowhere. I was bedded one foot into solid rock. It was obvious that the house was in the foundation been over engineered by a faculty of five. I have walked in the Royal Sacred Canyon, do all of my house, looking for my house. On many occasions, it's very difficult to find. It's almost impossible to see from the open space. So all that time was spent satisfying the discretionary wins of neighbors who didn't want to lose their views, who had inroads to politicians who were willing to use discretionary hearings to advance their own agenda. And I'm hoping that tonight, this commission will move the zoning ordinance towards a rational and impartial and objective path towards reviewing and updating application. I've sat on the zoning board and planning commission. I've watched commissioners approve slope modifications for hot tubs on slopes greater than 50% for fence of theirs. And I've watched them deny minor changes to people who were on the wrong side of a political divide. So I asked you to correct this once and for all. The science is great. The ruling which has been added is very important. Thank you very much. Thank you for your comment. Are there any other members of the public who would like to address the commission on item number four, the slope regulations amendment? If so, please raise your hand pressing star nine. Okay. Just want to check with the clerk that you're seeing no hands. Okay. Thank you very much. Give it just a second or two here. All right. With that, I'm going to go ahead and close the public hearing for item number four and bring this back before the commissioners. I would also like before we go into comments just to call out that we have had additional correspondence added on the website for this item. If the public would like to review that. I believe those comments are from Chair Schifrin. So I think I would go ahead and start with Chair Schifrin to just. I'm sorry. I haven't quite switched yet in my hair in my head. Commissioner Schifrin, I'll start with him and then we'll go to Commissioner Kennedy and then move on down the line. So Commissioner Schifrin, we'll go ahead and start with you and then we have Commissioner Kennedy and Commissioner Conway. I thought I saw your hand. Anyway, go ahead. Commissioner Schifrin. Well, let me show you. I just have two issues. One is a procedural issue and I was wanting to get this response to this. It has to do with the zoning ordinance process for initiating amendments to the zoning code. Section 24-06-02-0 says that amendments may be initiated, and this is through the zoning ordinance by the City Council and the Planning Commission. I'm just wondering where the authority exists for staff to initiate zoning ordinance amendments because the amendments to the scope regulations were not initiated by the Commission. I'm not aware that they were initiated by the Council, but they were brought to us initially with a recommendation for approval with the Environmental Document NUM. And maybe missing something, it wouldn't be the first time that I just haven't come across this code section. I wondered how it applied. I can answer that. Thank you, Commissioner Schifrin. Madsenwa Principal Planner in Advanced Planning. This was specifically called out in the 2030 General Plan. Direction was given in the General Plan, as Catherine showed in our presentation. The fact that it's in the General Plan and there's direction to move forward with this in the General Plan is direction from Council as well. So you're, okay, I guess I have an understanding that the amendment really flows from the General Plan, which was approved by the Council, to go for a review of the zoning ordinance for scope regulations, and that's why you voted for it. Correct. Okay, thank you. I think that makes sense to me. I just wanted to be clear about how things get in front of us. The other point I would make now is that I sent in comments on my concern, my people concerns about the addendum. I appreciate the staff has responded to them. I appreciate the memo from the attorneys on it. I still disagree with the analysis. I feel that there's confusion over what is an amendment issue and what is a secret issue, but I'm not going to argue about it tonight. My concerns are on the record. If somebody wants to take them up, it's one of the reasons I'm not able to support. So that's recommendation, but I wouldn't be able to support it even within an environmental document that I agreed with, and I'll talk later about other reasons for that. So let me just say that I've read over the responses and appreciate them. I don't want to get into a debate about it. I stand by the concerns that I raised, and I think that, from my perspective, my knowledge of secret evaluative issues, but I'm not wanting to spend a lot of time tonight trying to talk to you out of it because I know that's impossible, and I think it's impossible to talk to me out of it. So your position is on the staff position, the attorneys position on the record. My concerns are on the record, and I'm just happy to leave it at that. Okay, thank you, Mr. Schifrin. Moving on to Mr. Kennedy. I want to move approval of staff recommendation. This seems to me to be streamlining. I can't tell you how many hours I spent on this commission just wasting staff and people's time on these slope ordinances, so I'd like to move approval. And I'll second. Okay, we have a motion and a second. I feel like we haven't really had enough discussion on this from commissioners. I actually had comments as well, so I'd like to go ahead and commissioners make additional comments before the vote. Is there any other comments besides me who would like to address this before we go to a vote? Yes, sir. I think it's appropriate. This is a time to make comments on the motion on the floor. Do you want me to go first or do you want to go first? I'll let you go first, and then I'll back clean up, and then we'll go to the vote. I'm not willing to. I'm not going to support the motion because, as I mentioned, I think the quick analysis is inadequate, and an attendant is not the appropriate environmental document. The ordinance removes the prohibition of major developments on slopes over 50%, despite the negative impacts of doing so and the loss of one of the very few remaining environmental objective standards. I would be very close to supporting this ordinance and the changes if it did include the continued prohibition of slopes on slopes over 50%. I think the proposals for slopes less than 50% are desirable. We've already recommended it to the council, which is also included in this, the exemption for minor projects. I also support the proposal to require geological reports. I think that would be a benefit. I am a little concerned. I wanted to ask the question before I go on staff regarding who will review these geological reports. My experience, and if we go to the daily city of San Francisco, engineers can find ways to build on any kind of slope. And I just wonder what the city would be hiring these geotechnical professionals, or if it's going to be the developers who get to hire and direct the geotechnical professionals, what is going to be the city role in oversight and review of these reports? The general process, and Sam or Eric can correct me if I'm wrong here because I don't work in current planning, but the general process is that this would be a requirement to be submitted with the application. So it would be the developer who would hire someone to hire a geologist to do the report. City staff would review. We would definitely send these to our building department and our public works department and these vary quite a bit. Sometimes they're immensely understandable to even a layperson. I would say planners are one step above a layperson. Public works and building officials are building, review people are two or three steps above us. So if we felt that the language was not clear, we would require clarification, but generally it would be included in the application packet. Eric, did I get that right? Is there anything I missed? Yeah, applications are the reports are generated by a geotech engineer that's hired directly by the applicant and our building plan check engineers can and do review those. You got to remember these are all licensed individuals. From time to time on some controversial projects, we have had a third party review by an outside consultant. So we have our consultant on retainer and we've used their geotech engineers to peer review the reports that were submitted by the applicant. So from time to time, we can and do do that. Well, I guess Mike, thank you for that. Helpful. As I understand it and I could be wrong, I think the county has the geologist that they sort of it's on staff that reviews them. And I think that seems to me to be important. And I think it's a weakness in the ordinance not to be clear about how those geotechnical reports and they are the only basis for mitigating any development impact or even deciding where the development can occur on each slope to simply leave it up to the developer and the developer's hired engineer to make that determination. I think it is. I can't support that approach. Another reason I'm not going to be supporting the amendment. I am unable to and finally I'm unable to make the fight the following required findings that the proposed amendment serves and for this public necessity in general, general community welfare, I think that these by reducing the particularly the prohibition of development on 50% and more slopes, it reduces the general the general the community welfare and increases and makes minimizes more or reduces the environmental concerns and environmental constraints that exist on these slopes. I also don't I can't make the finding that the proposed amendment serves in person for zoning practice. I think for zoning practice is it's important to have clear requirements. And I agree that sort of not making it clear is a problem. And what we're doing is in a way in finding the concerns we're reducing the level of certainty in terms of where development can occur, where development can occur. So based on those reasons I'm not going to be supporting the motion. Thank you, Commissioner Schifrin. I see Commissioner Conway. Go ahead, Commissioner Conway. Thank you. And Commissioner Schifrin, I think you've made your point really clear through both your writing and your statements. I do understand your objections and I definitely strongly disagree with them. I very much support the finding that this furthers public welfare. I think that it's, pardon, I got that bit. I asked my problem tonight. So I'll limit my comment. But I think that this ordinance is practical. I think it does, in fact, enable the city to function more efficiently. And I also believe that it is, keeps the city safe and the citizens of the city safe. And I think it is a far better approach than the one that we've been using up until now. And I very strongly support the staff recommendations and certainly include in the final. Thank you, Commissioner Conway. Okay, I'll make a few brief comments here. And I'd like to just share my screen and go back to this map that was in Schifrin's presentation. I want to again thank staff for their thorough presentation as well. And I would just like to concur with Mr. Schifrin, but perhaps slightly different reasons. I also cannot make the finding that this ordinance, specifically the part about removing the prohibition in 50% slope, if a public necessity or furthers general community welfare, I am in support of all of the other components of this staff recommendation except the 50% prohibition. And just quickly, the reasons why I'm not in support of this come down to the fact that there is certainly a geological component to slope stability. There's soil eurotivity. But there is also just the physical fact that water and fire moves differently across slopes. And as slopes increase, the effect of the behavior of both fire and water is more affected as slopes increase. So if you look at the map that was in staff recommendation, you can see that the vast majority of the 50% slope areas are in the wild, urban interface. And a lot of the risk assessment that we're assuming associated with developing these areas is based on a climate regime that no longer exists. So we know that we are in a constant state of drought, flood or fire in the state of California. And so removing an existing prohibition in the wooey particularly, just for clarification, I would be supportive of removing the prohibition outside of the wooey. But keeping the prohibition inside the wooey is a very practical approach that ensures that until we have a better understanding of the risk of these areas for mudslides due to extreme precipitation, I think in December, I think in a 32-hour period or something like that, we had seven inches of rain. That's the kind of climate that is predicted to continue. And these kind of extreme precipitation events as well as just extreme, dry, extended drought changed the fire and the water regime in a way that it doesn't make a lot of sense to me to remove the 50% prohibition in these areas. So I just feel like because we can do something as a planning commission, I don't think there's a necessity for us to do this. I don't understand how this is furthering community safety and actually allowing for the community to have a better risk assessment for their development. I really feel like I could support this if we kept the prohibition in the wooey. But removing this prohibition just makes no sense to me with our very limited understanding of what the true risk is of developing. And these pretty extreme slopes. It's not that the engineering doesn't exist that we can do that. But how does the engineering match with the climate regime that we are all living in now and as we move forward? So again, I won't be supporting the staff recommendation. I certainly would support the whole package if we could keep the prohibition in the wooey. And I hope that we are really thoughtful about these kind of decisions in relation to the climate that we live in and understand that when we're looking at these risk assessments, they're based on previous data. They're not based on our understanding of what's happening now because we don't know what's happening now. So I think being precautionary about these kind of things makes a lot of sense. And I hope that we really consider that when we vote. So I will go ahead and stop there. One more call for comments. And then we'll go ahead and have the clerk read the motion on the floor and take about, looks like Commissioner Greenberg would like to speak. Thanks so much. And I'll try to keep it really brief. And thank you all for your comments. And this is a this is a tough one. I think that I really appreciate the work that the staff has done to respond to our previous comments and also the circulation of the additional documents. And I hear what Sarah Dawson is saying. And you know, I think we're all extremely concerned about this new climate change world that we're living in and the issues of the wooey and are needing to proceed in the midst of that at the same time recognizing that building housing in urban areas can also have environmental benefits. And so far as we're not extending that building outside, you know, further into a lot of more wildland areas, I think that my understanding from the map is that a lot of the wooey areas are park lands and that much of the areas represented on the map. And so they're undevelopable.  And that many of those are in areas that are more the urban part of the wooey. And I was struck by the documents shared, Marcos fixes for climate adaptation and resilience. It talked about the fact that slope alone is not the only issue to consider that we have to consider slope in relation to the location and density of the housing. And so it strikes me that a lot of these properties lot are themselves in areas left down the Upper West Side that are, you know, relatively dense and, you know, located in relatively dense already developed urban size areas. And I feel we want to encourage development in some of those areas as insofar as we can. And I am, you know, encouraged by the fact that the technical geotechnical engineers and the building department and the fire department are going to weigh in as well on these proposals. So in that sense, I feel, you know, much more confident in supporting this initiative by the staff. So thank you. Commissioner Miss City Miller. Thank you, Chair Dawson. I'll keep my comments brief. I have the following comments. I think that this ordinance needs updating. Like Commissioner Kennedy, I have heard many of these matters before and they are typically relatively minor. Streamlining this is a benefit to our community. I believe that the way this ordinance has been rewritten that public health and safety will be protected. In fact, it may be more protected and, you know, that we'll have engineers involved earlier.  I'm not going to dispute that failures occur, but to make an example out of them I think is disservice to the industry. I'll liken it to someone who might complain loudly about how often and how many people buy when planes crash while ignoring the fact that hardly any planes ever crash and that getting in your car and driving to the 7-11 or Safeway or wherever you want to drive is far more dangerous. And so I want to take exception to that. And I think that kind of fear mongering has no place in this discussion here tonight. With respect to the fire and flood concerns that have been mentioned by some, those are relevant and important issues. And those are issues that you need to evaluate on a case-by-case basis. I agree with Commissioner Greenberg's comments that, you know, these potentially developed parcels for spoilers, you know, hardly any of them, seven or whatever the number is, that they're already in urbanized areas. And the greater risk is that we would develop in non-urbanized areas because we're unwilling to develop urbanized areas. And that has a far greater impact on the environment than anything we're imagining here. I also want to commend the staff for doing such a thorough analysis on this amendment. I respect the advice and the opinions of the professionals that have been hired to comment on the, on the process here. And so I find myself in full support of the staff's recommendation. Thank you. Thank you, Commissioner, Katie Miller. Commissioner Maxwell. Yes, thank you. I will make my own brief as well. I feel like there's been a lot of comments. I agree with, definitely with Commissioner Greenberg that, you know, once you take a look at the map that he's really, I mean, we're talking 17, not really that many. I definitely also agree with Commissioner or Chair Ross that we don't know what the impact is going to be. There's no way to know, really. But I also, and then I also want to concur with the City Miller, Commissioner City Miller, like, you know, I'm a builder. I built on plow. It's not. 50% slope is a lot, but it's not that much. And it's not, we're not talking 100% slope. It's minimal. But again, I hear everyone's comments also. Thanks to staff for all that work to get through. And for that, I will be surprised. Thank you all, Commissioner, for your comments. Last call for comments before we have the clerk. Go ahead and remind us of the motion on the floor. And then we'll go ahead and take the vote. Hey, thank you so much. Could we have a roll call vote, please? Hi. Hi. Well, what's my math? The motion passed five to seven. Is that right? Five to two. Five to two. Sorry. Motion carries. So thank you, everyone, for your comments. Thank you to the public for their comments as well and for everybody watching. And again, big thanks to staff for a very thorough job on a very complicated, protracted agenda item. So thank you so much. So let's go ahead and move on to informational items. Do we have anything from staff on informational items? Go ahead. We just pull it up. Just looking at your schedule for next month. The only item for the next meeting on March 3rd is the one you just continued involving the oversized vehicle appeal. And then on the 17th, we'll have a discussion on the downtown plan expansion effort. And then there's also a project, an affordable housing project at 415 Natural Bridges that involves a plan development. So you'll be making a recommendation to counsel on that. So those are the two items we have for that meeting. Okay. Thank you. Any other informational items from any of the commissioners? Okay. Moving along to a subcommittee advisory body or a report. I don't believe we have any of those. Is that correct? I'm not seeing any motion by any of the commissioners. Okay. Any items to refer to a future agenda from any of the commissioners? Okay. Seeing none, I want to thank everyone in all the public for attending and again to the staff and commissioners. And with that, I will bring the February 17, 2022 City of Santa Cruz planning meeting submission to adjournment. Thank you, everybody.


In this lecture I'm going to show you the types of research that you can do. There are many classification systems and you can really open any scientific journals and you'll see a wide variety of research types. From case control series to randomized trials to meta-analysis to reviews. Have a look at this.


Johnny dollar Johnny. This is John boom hour down here in Sarasota, Florida. John. How are you? Oh, great, great Yeah, now what's the matter? Well the last time I called you I mentioned that pal of your thorough foreman Yeah, told you he was out in California And he left me holding down the local office of tri-state life and casualty for him Oh, yeah So what's he going and done? Move John out there to sunny Smoggy Southern California bag and bag Yeah, I heard from him Like as you will say, I'm still running the tri-state office here in Sarasota That's bad It'd be fine if it didn't take so much of my time away from my real estate business But what I called you about Johnny Troubled on Oh, not exactly Well, what's this? Old Bill Trasker the fishing guy?  I've done I can't imagine anybody having an in parole bill and trying to knock him off No, it's not the amount of insurance How much, then? It's been down And if there's nothing suspicious about the circumstances Nothing at all It'll be debt from natural cost Well, John, I'm afraid I don't see any reason But during his period Johnny Dollar, to the tri-state life and casualty insurance company office in Sarasota, Florida Following his account of expenses incurred during my investigation, the recompense matters Expense account item 17970, taxi and a plane from Hartford to New York Then another one to Florida At the International Airport in Tampa, Don Bumhar was waiting for us We piled into his air-conditioned car and headed south on the Tamiami Trail down towards Sarasota That's right, Johnny Old Bill Trasker Dying of some kidney disease And according to Dr. Crutcher, nothing short of a miracle would save him Ah, yes, you bet He seemed like a money-nice old man, a real gentleman Well, educated, well-spoken Hey, you'd expect to find him running a big business Instead of a broken-down outboard rig to take out the fishing party So I understand But frankly, Johnny, I'd never even seen Old Bill until the doctor called me Said he was dying and that he wanted to see you Then I looked up his policy Ah, 2,500 years, sir Yes, to be spent in giving him a modest but decent burial And to pay any bills he might leave outstanding Uh-huh Apparently then, Bill won't be leaving much of this thing And you'll understand why when you see the little kind of shack he lived in But now over the phone you said something about a murder Well, Johnny, it was so difficult trying to understand what he was trying to say Even when he seemed completely conscious He was very vague Except perhaps when he was asking for you When he told us he had to see you before he goes Well, now, Don, why never said the actual word murder, Johnny But he, uh... Well, listen, there was a name A name he kept trying to tell us It sounded like Jerry or Gerald something Last name we couldn't get at all Well, have you checked over his relatives? When we asked him about relatives, he just turned his face away And shook his head But now, if he was talking about a murder Johnny, it's just... It's just that... Well, Doc and I agreed that from what he said And, well, he's knowing you and your work And wanting to see you And you know how, yes, that confession Ah, you're not making much sense Look, Doc will be waiting for us And if Bill is conscious enough to make sense when he talks to you Well, let's just wait and see what you can get out of him Whatever you say, then Almost a shack, all right On a small stubby piece of land near the end of one of the bayous As we stopped in front of a walk, I mean the long pass To the palm meadows that led up to it Doc Crutcher came out to meet us Honey, I'm glad to see you How are you, Doc? Well, I just gave him a final injection in a cross of seven Well, come on, here He's failing, Doc As the last resort, I've used a new, very radical sort of treatment One of the so-called but not fully tried miracle drugs Ben, I'm just afraid he came to meet too late But, Doc, there is a chance Oh, there's always a chance, Johnny But in this case, a very slim one You just relax I mean... Right here in the flesh I mean... Right, right Hey, look, if you expect to take me out fishing, you've got to get well, man No, Johnny, it's too... too great Oh, come on now, that's no way to talk, old Tommy I'm gonna... Die now Yeah, who said so? Who would you... ...to tell? Tell Tell who, Bill? Tell Please Tell Tell what to the police? No No, what? No Murder There was a murder? Or you mean there was no murder? No, tell Please I did I did it Gerald Gerald? Yes, I'm Gerald Gerald who, Bill? Yeah Gerald von Yes He was murdered Johnny Tell He was... Doctor Selfie, please The end, Doc Well, no As a matter of fact, his heartbeat is... Well, it's stronger God Much stronger Doc Yes, Doc Get to a phone and get an ambulance while I make him ready You mean that maybe you can pull him through after all?  Yes, of course Yeah, so that we can investigate his confectionary is Huh? Sure And then to see that he's executed for murder? Oh, John, for the law of mind Yes, call that ambulance Scientific achievement usually are made through the combined efforts of many men Such as the story of the Atlantic Cable One of the outstanding milestones of the 19th century But today the name of one man remains the reminders of that venture The organizer and director, Cyrus W. C A retired paper merchant who risks his fortune, sanity and integrity In an awesome adventure that lasted 12 long years Field first was approached in regard to his short underwater cable to Newfoundland in 1854 After a huge investment of both money and energy, the cable was completed the following summit Field then went to England to tackle the much larger problem of laying the Atlantic Cable Many futile attempts were made Cable was broken Slices were made Cable was lost Tempers flew and ship captains resigned and discussed Still, Field wouldn't give up Finally on August 8th, 1858 It appeared that the project had been successfully completed Cyrus field went ashore and walked 15 miles to the nearest telegraph station There he wired his wife, the Associated Press and President Eucannon He informed the president that Queen Victoria would telegraph her congratulations over the new cable But before the Queen's message was completed, the line went dead The March Hill project was again a failure Faulty installation was blamed In 1865, the largest steamboat afloat, the Great Eastern, made another attempt Just 660 miles from Newfoundland, the cable part Inadequate with a hoisting tackle prevented its recovery Field broke down on the web like a child And yet, the very next year, he sailed with the Great Eastern for one more try This time, every failure had been studied Every provision made On July 27th, 1866, Cyrus Field landed at Hart's Contents After personally cabling the unbelievable news He immediately boarded the Great Eastern, retrieved the broken cable of the year before Sliced it and laid the second Atlantic cable Cyrus W. Field, another American whose driving energy insisted that Somehow there must be a way Let's find it And now act two of yours truly, Johnny Dollars We carefully laid the whole bill in the backseat of Don Boomer's car And drove him to the hospital ourselves And then we could only wait to see if the drug that Dr. Crutcher had given him Would really do its work And yet, if it did, despite some modern miracle the old man should recover Well, Don had set it there at the shag And he set it again that evening as we sat in the comfortable den of his home Trying to console ourselves with a couple of scotch included Oh, it's wrong, Johnny There's something very wrong about it I mean pulling him away from death's door Only so that he can be electrocuted for that murder he confessed to What did he really do? What else could he have meant? So you've got to investigate, Johnny Even Don Crutcher has to report that confession to the police Well, maybe And so do I, we've no way out of it, none of us Oh, pardon Yes, the name of his victim, the man he murdered Did he? Is that what he tried to tell us? Or what else could he possibly meant?  Sir, he didn't strike me that way But how do you know? It may have happened years ago And it may never have happened at all And I hope that somehow, somehow you're right But can you prove it? Well, Johnny Uh, pour me another drink, would you? Sure, or you won't But you haven't answered my question I'm going to try, Don I'm going to try Midnight, Dr. Crutcher has fallen to say that we should keep our fingers crossed And maybe pray a bit Because now what this old Bill Trasker might have, a fifty-fifty chance to live Then, unexpectedly, a call from Lieutenant Barney Phillips of the police department Do you know anything about this, this both formally? Lieutenant, uh How well do you know, old Bill? I'll talk to you later, Lieutenant Is there any such man or anybody else? Ah, no, Mr. Don I'll be in touch Murder someone, Johnny Did I say that, Don? You didn't need to Don, I want no part of this thing Donny, I know, I know this is no ordinary sort of investigation But as a company, we have to go through with it Why? If you can prove that Bill didn't do it Which I doubt Well, it's the least we can do for a client Or, uh, or something Yeah And if you end up proving he did Well, it's a job of public service by the company Or something Or something Let someone else handle it, I want to put it Why did old Bill ask for you? Well Well, I think it's because of Well, in spite of what he said In spite of what it sounded like Hey, let me use your car with you At this time of night? No, not here You're the key All right, good What have you got in mind? Well, maybe keeping an innocent man out of the chair Now, Johnny, do you listen? Obviously the key to this whole medallion Finding out about Bill's supposed victim, Gerald Stormley We was where he was or where he had been And then if Bill had ever been there I drove over to the shack again and went through Bill's clothes Hoping that some of them might be old enough To show where he'd been before he moved to Sarasota Every one of them bore a New York label Item 2, 520 for a tankle again Item 3 after I reached the airport in Tampa Item 4, 16 for a long telegram To Ripley Steener, a pal of mine on the New York side Item 4, 7,170 And shortly after going, I was in New York Rip was waiting for me at the airport You're going to save yourself the time of money And phone me, Johnny Now, just what do you mean by that, Rip? Well, I could have told you all there is To tell about Gerald St. Stormley in one cent Ah, I handled the story on him To the paper myself Ah, well, what about the paint? What? Seven years ago, that crooked promoter disappeared And when the police finally caught up with when And where and how he disappeared It left him with only one possible conclusion Stormley was murdered No, Johnny, stop trying to act like a Pollyanna And get on back to Sarasota And nail that old guy for murder Fourteenth amendment to our Constitution Is one of his most important sections It bestows United States citizenship Upon every person, regardless of race Who is born within our borders Or who is naturalized And this amendment further provides That the privileges and immunities of citizenship Cannot be taken away by a state Nor may a citizen be denied The equal protection of the law It is this amendment which makes us all Equal citizens with equal rights To the end that this country of yours And mine shall be our country under God Now, act three of yours truly, Johnny Duller And the recompensed master There at Attlewild Airport, Regina told me More about Gerald P. Farley Not that Farley didn't deserve to have Somebody knock him off And just what does that mean? When he got through with all his phony Real estate promotions He left more innocent people broke And hungry than you can shake it Well, Johnny, that man made millions In his crooked real estate deals And who suffered? Lelty people who could afford to lose A few thousand here and there? Oh, no, no, sir. I was poor people who sell for his fish And then suffered for it. But the law, the authority They never got on to them being too smart Every deal he made was perfectly legal At the time. Tell you this, Johnny. A lot of the real estate laws got rewritten As a result of him. I mean, in spite of the way it finally turned out To switch your ruining. Uh-huh, why? That gave me material for that feature I hoped was going to win me a poor surprise Just, what are you talking about? Back during 53, after the coroner's jury Said it was murder, they went through his papers And bank accounts, they found he left enough Doe and instructions for it to pay back Every cent he'd taken from the poor suckers You aren't kidding. This is a bit, Johnny. I told you it was a twist. And Johnny, that's what makes his killer All the more wrong. So get on back there to Sarasota And nail him down. You're ripping it. It's a problem. Oh, wait a minute. Handle this right and maybe your next feature Will get you a poor surprise. Huh? Poor people. Who've been taken by storming. Well, all Bill Trasker has never been In that category. In spite of his menial job These last seven years is a fishing guide. Item 5, 10 cents for a call To Lieutenant Randy's finger 18 briefing. Then I had Riz Nina drive me into season. Johnny, a complete set of fingerprints On the late Mr. Gerald P. Thorne. Right, good. So why I could break my neck Getting him in such a hurry for ya. I put that so-called mind to yours To work finding out who murdered him Seven, seven and a half years ago. Yeah, well that coroner's jury Could have been all wet, you know. Huh? Why don't you keep Riz here entertained Until I can follow my feature story For Donald Sarasota. Johnny, if. That is. Yeah? If what?  Item 6, another 7,170 for a plane Back to Florida. On the airport in Tampa, I drove on down to Sarasota Straight to the hospital. It is a miracle, Johnny. If old Bill continues to improve The way he has me the last 12 hours He'll live until Until they put him in that chair As much as I hate to say that. Bill was much better. And almost was a miracle.  Then at police headquarters When one of the lab men Compared the prints of the set I brought down from New York Well, Janet Barney Phillips nearly slipped. But I can't believe this According to these prints, Old Bill is jailed peace normally. That's right. But I don't understand. But why now, sir?  But he was ruining more innocent people Causing more heartbreak and stuff. But he hadn't thought about that And he's lost the money. All he cared about was getting more and more of it Regardless of how he was hurting her. Until one day this Kidding thing hit him and it scared him. Suddenly he realized that one day He'd die as one of the most Hated men in the world. But simply getting back the money Would never erase the stigma That he'd have to live with. So he arranged his own disappearance And he made it look like murder. So he could quietly get away And start leading the kind of life He should have been leading And start doing some good for people. Exactly the way he's been doing here in Sarasota. Sort of recompense for the rotten things He's done before. Yeah, that's right. And without having folks point him out As the cook he'd been. That's right.  But Dala, when he thought he was dying He'd told you murder. Nah, he said no. No murder. Dark and darn that's understood. He said to tell the police That he did it. That's all. And now we know what he did. Dala, I hate to say this But he's still in trouble. Oldville Tractor? Gerald P. Sarnley. Not anymore of it. What's it? Sarnley is dead. Legally dead. Well, I... I know it's the only... I guess you're right, Mr. Johnny. Well, you say you're right. Yeah. After sticking around a few days To make sure that Oldville's recovery Would be complete. Well, I changed my mind About getting you a cleaner material For a future. Let him wonder about it. Expensive outtotal including his trip Back to Hartford 200 and... Ah, no, Don, forget it. Just forget it. You're truly Johnny Dala. Produced and directed by Jack Johnstone. Made in our cast were Russell Thorsten, Mark Robbins, Barley Bear, Barney Phillips, Dick Crenna, and Herb Bygren.

Part of the reasons why Lagos residents do not consider the use of water as the means of transportation is lack of swimming skills and water phobia. Head of operations of the Lagos State Waterways Authority Ibrahim Fama Yua believes these factors are negatively impacting the patronage. He assured that despite people's fears and reservations, ferry remains the most surfaced mode of transportation. The city of Lagos has navigable inland waterways which if fully harnessed would help minimize road traffic congestion, pollution and provide low costs of long-distance travel within the city. Here at the Five Curries terminal, the head of the precious Lagos State Waterways Authority, Ibrahim Fama Yua spoke on safety measures put in place to avoid stories that touch. We don't really have any high turbulence that might tip a boat over in terms of safety and the second thing is about the tides. So in and around Lagos State, I mean inland waterways, the range of the tides fall around plus or minus one meter. But to be on the safer side, the Lagos State Government under the leadership of Mr. Governor, Mr. Ushola Somulu has done a lot in channelizing the priority routes. Passengers shared their experiences using the ferry. The only reason why I choose a water transporter is very fast. Though at times the gallop is too much on the maybe it's because of the wave. It's a very sweet experience and it's the fastest means of transportation and it's safe. You have fresh breeze, not like the downfall, you have to start to shift the heat and everything. I'm going to satellite town now and I'm telling you now before 12, I'll be there. When we're going by road, it might be there till like two o'clock, you may have even gotten to my two. So I think water transport is one of the safest and easiest means of transport. For some time I've been missing appointments, I've not been able to meet up my classes as a swimming instructor. But ever since they introduced it and they make it very, very, very liable for us, it's good. Famo Yua rated the use of water as mode of transportation. He records its two in a developing stage as lots of people are dealing with waterphobia. Inland waterways is safe statistically. It has a low accident data compared to the other modes. Unfortunately, legoscients do not have the culture of swimming. So water is still kind of like a phobia. So I think it would be good for the entire public legoscients to embrace the idea of swimming. It will help them overcome the phobia. The improvement of water transport in legos has the potential to help address the serious road congestion and its associated problems such as a standard travel time, loss of man-hour and negative effects on the environment and human health.

Here is a quick introduction to geometry. I always thought the rectangle was a fundamental shape and everything else in geometry is derived from them. I don't know, I always use the triangle as a fundamental shape because polygons you get from the area of a triangle, but let me give you sort of my intro that I give to people in regards to geometry where I sort of try to explain to them what the length, area, and volume are. So if you're thinking about geometry and we're talking about Euclidean geometry, flat surface geometry to a certain degree, you can talk about spheres as well, but the formulas change a little bit, right? But let's do this. What do you call this? Ready? What do you call that? What do you call that? That point that really doesn't have any area, it's just a point in space. A point, exactly. We call this a point. Now a point in space, it's not really a dot, it's not a sphere, it's a point, it's a marker. A marker in space has zero dimensions, zero D, right? No dimensions to it, it's just a point in space, right? Now take this point, right? Take this point and stretch it or take your pen and draw on it. What do you call this? What do you call this? A line, exactly. We call this a line. Now a line is one plane, right? So it's 1D, one dimension, right? One D, right? And one dimension means it's got a unit. It's got a unit, okay? Now, if it's got a unit, it all depends what you measure with, right? What your units you like measuring with? It could be, it could be meters, it could be feet, it could be inches, it's length, right? She's laughing. So we could call this the unit would be meters, feet, inches, centimeters, kilometers, miles, yards, whatever you want to call it, right? That's the dimension, it's a line, it's a length, right? Now take that point, right? Draw a line or stretch your point across, right? And then take this line, hopefully it was a straight line, it doesn't look too straight, take this line and stretch it up, right? So pan it up. When you pan it up, in mathematics, what that means is you multiply it, stretch, you got to cover this whole thing going up, right? What do you call this thing? What do you call this thing? There's multiple words for it, right? Surface, surface, it's a surface, right? So if this was link x, this was link x, and this is length y, we have two dimensions that we're going. For us to go figure out what the surface or what the area of this thing is, we take this and multiply it by this, and this is two directions, so it's two-dimensional, right? Two d. And when you have two-dimensional, you're not just meters and feet and inches and centimeters and kilometers and miles, you're meters squared, feet squared, inches squared. You're multiplying a unit with a unit, and if you multiply two identical things, it's just squared, right? So this would be meters squared, feet squared, inches squared, centimeters squared, whatever it is squared, right? Now take this point, stretch it into a line, take your line, pan this line up, you get your surface. Now take the surface and push it either out of the page or into the page, right? Just go push it in, right? So there is our x, there is our y, and this is sort of depth, and we can call this z, if you want. What do you call this? What do you call this? Volume, volume, surface, volume, right? Volume. That's more related to that. Volume, is there another word we could say? Volume, 3d, 3d, it's got three directions, 3d. And if you're going to measure something, you're going to measure things in the same unit, maybe feet, meters, feet, inches, centimeters, kilometers, miles, you multiply the same unit multiple times together, it's cubed, right? So this is meters cubed, feet cubed, inches cubed, centimeters cubed, right? And what type of world do we live in? You take your three dimensions that we exist in right now, right? Add time, okay? Or multiply with time. You get 4d, which is us. We live in a four-dimensional world, right? Three spatial dimension, and we got time, right? For me, this is my intro to geometry, when I first get into teaching someone geometry, and make sure they understand this concept, and then we build from here, right? No matter what grade they're in. I don't know if that would be considered a proof of this, but it's an explanation. I'm pretty sure there's a hardcore mathematical proof to it, okay?


back to another video we haven't done this in a while I finally ordered another box I'm excited to get this done today as you can see but we got a brand new 2018 unparalleled Panini what are these ones called these are Panini prism cards I opened so many of these last night so much fun opening them I don't know why I stopped doing it so I'm excited to get back into it last year if you remember to I pulled a Ezekiel Elliott signature card that was worth like $375 on eBay or something I ended up selling it it paid for like all the rest of the boxes that I bought that year so that was awesome hopefully we can do the same thing this year but if you don't know the premise I'm gonna open all the cards in this box there's eight packs with eight cards in each so that's 64 if I know my rocket math from 8th grade is that yeah that's 64 64 cards from each pack I'll probably take one or two players that I'm gonna add to my mad and ultimate team once I get that team assembled I'm gonna play a game with it that's it's gonna be super fun I hope you guys enjoy drop a like for more and um that's it let's hop into this opening I'm gonna use this handy dandy stool of mine for this opening oh that looks good I'm be I'm becoming a youtuber gentlemen only three years in we're finally learning oh this is so satisfying oh I'm gonna not are our beautiful cards I love the packaging on these look at that that's actually like that's so dope all right so we got Matt Ryan if we want a quarterback already which is solid Adam feeling for wide receiver I'm only gonna allow myself like one maybe two cards per pack so it's got to be like fair Adam feeling oh Rod Smith oh my god that card is sick look at the holographic on that we got Oakland Raiders Maurice Hurst is that a rookie I think that's a rookie because I don't recognize this wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait is this one of the signatures or is this one of those things that's like a fake signature there's nothing on it oh it's one of this is exactly what the Ezekiel Elliott card looked like when I pulled it it was like this and then on the other side it said like redeem for an Ezekiel Elliott signature and it's worth a ton of money but this is just a piece of cardboard oh hi flyers Devonte Adams dope looking card and then we got Javier Alexander Anthony Miller and I think that's a fact so honestly here I'm not sure yet but it's probably gonna be either Matt Ryan or Adam Deeland I'm not sure so those first two are clutch ones pack numero dos starts us out with John Timu I don't know who that is and be honest Marshawn Lynch oh upside down David Johnson I'll wait to say David Johnson that's so sick I love David Johnson's half back as you guys probably know this dude is like one of my favorite ultimate team players of all time so I'll definitely have fun with this looking sick Mike Singletary bro I don't think he has a card yet we got a juju Smith Schuster good chance that will be our card from this pack depending on what we're getting this oh shit wait a second does that mean it's a signature oh that's a signature to Sean Hamilton that's what that is yeah oh signature patch oh that's so sick so we got the jersey patch and the signature oh that's a stick on signature so it's not as like good as the ones that are actually on the card but still beautiful looking card the rest in this pack is going to be a Baker Mayfield that's nice and a Carlton Davis so I might go with juju on this one I don't have a lot of options though new pack is going to start out with our lion's very own Ezekiel Ansa pretty good chance I'll be taking him but we'll see oh Doug Baldwin as well all right this one's not going to be an easy choice Tana Hill no thanks oh no Todd Gerle to decide between Todd Gerle and David Johnson that half back down that's going to be a tough choice very nice card right there with that Todd Gerle and you can see the lettering on the Ezekiel Ansa I assume this is less rare than this because this has got silver lettering this is kind of got this bronze gold here so we'll see how that goes we got a Mike Ditka ah that's so oh gee I love it whoa take it in the suit and tomato and the same thing oh we got Des dropped it Brian right on the top so wide receiver choice Drew Brees Drew Brees or Matt Ryan at QB I think I'm gonna go with Matt Ryan we'll see though new pack starts out with a defensive player Vonte Davis so that's actually really nice see also got Ken is it drawly he's stupid we'll be looking at the defense and Eric Berry lots of defense here I'm probably gonna go with Eric Berry Malik Jefferson bangles that's kind of oh and we got a Titans or Shauna Evans that's a sick looking card too oh that's really nice we got Nick Chubb this dude balled out in preseason against the Lions I'm gonna go cry myself to sleep definitely definitely definitely going about man Eric Berry future MVP starts out this one to Shawn Watson Derek Henry oh no we're gonna have a lot of choices on this one Jonathan Stewart we get who is the guy Kaleef Raymond that's a dope name I've never heard of him to be honest another Matt Ryan looks like he really wants to be our quarterback that is a really cool card by the way we got another sick-ass card Alvin Kamara oh my god that's it Mike Hughes of the Vikings Marshawn Latimore finally I know that guy he's a beast of the Saints a very cool looking card as well we got oh it's it's backwards it means it's a sacred patch let's see what it is it's a it's a stick on signature of Trey Quinn again guys I don't know who Trey Quinn is or the other guy so if you're a huge fan let me know and I'll send this your way Trey Quinn with the signature card though gotta respect that I really like it Riley Ferguson and Levan Coleman are our rookies dang that was actually a really good last pack get that Marshawn Latimore right next to a signature card so we actually have a Panini filled video for today so we just opened the Panini Prism box and now we're actually hopping on to the Panini Blitz app so Panini Blitz app is sponsoring today's video and if you guys haven't known I've been sponsored for like a year and a half so some of you should be used to this already so if you aren't aware the Blitz app is actually really similar to Madden where you open packs and collect the team but in addition you have fantasy sports with this so as your cards in real life through really really well you can actually play your friends and compete on here and as you guys know my favorite thing to do is open packs and there's a super cool really expensive coin pack that I want to open up right now select super coin pack 25 cards per pack it's 25,000 coins and you get two signature materials three sigs three memorabilia it's a lot I'm just gonna open it so you can get coins in this app I literally just logging in every day get a login bonus to get coins and this is how you earn the players and then you can compete your friends in pack battles and in daily fantasy sports I'm gonna open this pack right now because I love to do this every single oh and we start out with a cam newton we got a pat peed after that paint manning that's sick oh my god it's going fast jason witton okay michael bick Todd girly and if you guys saw last year the app is so they updated it they made it so much better oh signature marquise bouncy I didn't think we get an offensive line for our sig I got my lion oh my god it's a pack to sing Kenny Galladay yo he was a beast last year too I'm pumped oh my god bunches also you have m oj Howard sharp math use witton through this pack is so juiced oh my god that's it for the panini blitz app for today's video make sure you download it in the top of the description you're gonna see a link to download this app 100% you guys got to get this app so make sure you click that link and my username is papa means of course it so shoot me your trades if it's a terrible trade I'm not accepting it though but so shoot me your trades because I want to see what you guys get to that's it make sure you download the app and enjoy the rest of the video ladies and gentlemen welcome back we're on to the actual gameplay portion of the pack and play finally this is a separate day of when I open the packs I did not have time to build the team and I'm feeling really sick so if I'm not crazy energetic could actually you know what I don't care damn it feels good to be a gangster so here's what the team looks like there's Thelon Dez David Johnson the 87 overall Matt Ryan 85 and juju with Eiffert the flashback card at tight end all cards that did not get pulled are purple they're all power-up stuff so if you're looking on the team it's purple I didn't pull it I put some rookies in here I defense um and my linebackers because I didn't pull any of them Brian Dawkins at free safety Eric Berry boom Marshawn Lattimore and then Vonte David's actually gold it's just kind of sad to think about but he's a 78 overall gold Ziggionts at right end and then nobody else we pulled on defense so I actually really like this team a lot it's a 77 overall it's about as good as my wheel of mud team except a little more rounded I think offensive line is going to be scary at the very least we have Ziggionts on the D line I'm ready to hop into this game let's do it he's got a very interesting looking team I like it first in 10 we are running this ball to David Johnson oh god he's all over me yeah alrighty then good start I want to scramble let's go Matt Ryan let's go Matty Ice oh my god tell me how I just rushed for 13 yards out of that juju's gonna be open I'm feeling it juju is not open not hitting him and I got sacked maybe we're gonna hit it again is he gonna be there oh I don't think he's there but X is so open X is still so open oh my god damn dude the play is too good I got amazing blocking there though they're ninches boom inside zone Saquon Barkley was not supposed to be subbed in I am cheating this game but that's okay second and four Saquon Barkley is in so I feel bad but I want to run the ball here so we're gonna run inside zone we're gonna take this puppy right up the middle Dodgers man Saquon good does that not a first time that's not first time all right wheel route Saquon Barkley touchdown here it is here it is oh bust that man is there okay all right well nobody saw anything I saw nothing nobody talks about this you didn't see anything all right he's gonna run the ball again but this time did we stuff it oh my god that's third ninches third ninches I know it third one it's not even inches let's go is he gonna run it one more time are you finally gonna pass the ball oh he runs it one more time first and ten give me something here yep give me the pick come on come on oh I wanted him to throw my zone third and three I'm sending the hot blitz and we just gotta stop the short pass die didn't stop the short pass whoa whoa whoa Marsha Latimore what are you doing Marsha Latimore is standing there playing patti cake well this guy runs past him Lenny overruns the blocked kick bro how do you overrun a block kick if you're if you're there before it kicks it just stand there ridiculously open I think his user is gonna drop back now yeah his user knows another oh my god safety probably see he literally is just instantly shedding me oh I was coming for that third and four kind of scared he's gonna run it yep there's the run and that's a touchdown I'm noticing how much more the offensive line matters this year than last year because last year I could get away with the 72 offensive line but I mean you saw that last position I got blocked shed four straight times and we'll see if we can uh try and rally this game together let's see we gotta dude we gotta get some blocks on this inside zone one of these times we should be getting good blocks because that's really open and no block oh he's there ifrit's there nice catch oh right there oh that's so open juju I don't even think that was that you got him I think he just fell anyway like a dummy oh ifrit was there I should have hit him early but Kelsey's there too it's lit up Kelsey you gotta truck through that man is this a blitz I hope this is a blitz because my slants will be there yeah but you see if it's not a blitz then you run good news isn't you came a long way the bad news isn't you went the wrong way oh is this fake screen wheel oh my right there again like a second off bro madden 17 you pick off every single one of these the user madden 17 was so good thank you what do you know oh my god talk it don't tell me no the shaman coin so fast I thought I was gonna take that to the house that's a play oh look at rb he's so open feeling grab this ball run up field let's go let's get it let's get it let's get it like just wait I can playmaker x can I I'm just throwing it I'm just throwing it up did you just get a safety oh my god ugly game so look at that 270 yards to 260 yards I just never I never completed those gosh thing never completed my touchdowns all right but that's it guys I hope you enjoyed this is really fun I really like doing a packing play if you guys want to see more let me know in the comments I definitely will drop some more packing plays you guys want them that's it for now thanks for watching as always peace

After losing their first game, the Brainerd football team rebounded in a big way, winning their next four games to get off to a four-and-one start. The Warriors had Friday night off, but hosted Class 5A's sixth-ranked Alexandria Cardinals Saturday for a homecoming matchup. And we're in the first 10 minutes in this one, the Cardinals had a 15-nothing lead and to keep their lead, here's Michael Empton, taking the pass intended for Brainerd's Pat Gravanik, but the Warriors wouldn't settle that easily. Here's Kiwan Jackson now breaking up this plane return to defend the Warriors' home turf, and there was nothing short about this carry from quarterback Will Peabody here. He loses control of the ball for a few seconds, but then he is off, and the Cardinals eventually catch up to him but only inches away from the end zone, and then with momentum on their side, the catch right here from Gravanik would help keep the Warriors in this game. But unfortunately the Warriors fall in this one to Alex, 59-to-45 in a very tough


Hi! So, as Pride Month starts, I wanted to put out an extremely important message. Everyone should feel welcome, especially in KDE, regardless of their sex, gender, sexuality, race or even preferred text editor. KDE is against homophobia, transphobia, racism or any form of systemic aid as state in the code of conduct. You might accuse me of being political, but this is something that touches our community directly and if LGBT is political, then so is Free Software and KDE. You might accuse me of virtue signalling like companies doing Pride, but we don't do it for promotion or money. We do it because KDE is a community of people that have to feel welcome even if they're transgender, homosexual or if they use nano. I could point out specific merger quests that would simply not exist if we had discriminated the other out of KDE. Plasma, as an example, is what Plasma is because we are against discrimination. Also, you might accuse me of joking about it with this all nano versus vim thing, but my point is discriminating based on sex, gender, etc. is just as stupid as discussing over the best text editor and we shouldn't do either. And I can't believe that in 2021, we still have people who discriminate based on skin color or sexuality or even people who indent using spaces. It's unbelievable. Thank you.


Aaron, it seemed like this game had a little bit of everything. How do you sum up the day? Happy ending for sure.  Clue pitched really well. You know, I thought the bullpen all did a really good job of coming in and keeping them at bay.  Couple of really clutched bats when, obviously, runs were tough to come by today. And Scherzer on the other side was, you know, he was a load. You know, he was heavy today, but we were able to hang around and find a way to win a ball game, which is really nice. You mentioned some of the clutched bats, two of them, of course, coming by Glaver Torres in the ninth and then in the final frame there. Just overall, what did you think of his day and his ability to come up in those situations? Yeah, it was a great job. The first hit he got the other way, you know, obviously didn't hit it too hard.   So a little fortunate there, but, you know, good to see him as, you know, hasn't been easy for him necessarily at the plate, but he's found a way and he's gotten some big hits for us and some big spots and a couple more today. You had Mike Ford bunting there in that 10th inning. He decided to take the bundt off. Just what did you think of the piece of hitting he put together there in that 10th to score a run? Yeah, really good.  Really smoked the ball the other way. You know, Ford, he's been grinding a little bit, having a tough goal of it here this last week, but, and he's actually got it handles the bat really well. So I was comfortable with him bunting there. But once he got into that 3-1 count, I just felt like it was a, it was a good leverage count for him that, you know, even if he didn't get a pitch, you know, the walk's always in there with him as well. So, but he put a really good swing on it the other way. Greg Joyce, please unmute. Aaron, when they pulled Scherzer, did you feel anything on the bench as far as just your chance to kind of attack there after he had been so good? I mean, obviously he was, he was pretty dominant today and kind of having his way for the most part.  I didn't know when exactly they might pull him, but I don't know.  I knew he probably didn't have much left. So, you know, we were just kind of focused on trying to crawl our way back into the game. We were right there the whole game and finally got that hit to even it up. So I don't know if necessarily him coming out or anything, you know, changed the mood or the focus at all. And Justin Wilson had struggled these last few times out, but how big was what he did in the top 11? Yeah, it was huge. He thought he threw the ball really well.  So it was good to see him getting ahead of hitters, put hitters away, some good hitters in that 10th inning there, whatever, 10th, 11th, whatever we're in. But I thought he threw the ball really well. It was good to see.


what's up guys take down here with some more oh peach ski 2017 2018 hockey cards i went a little fast on the last two videos so i'm gonna slow this one down a little bit for you guys but she'll still show you the best of the best hopefully i get some really good ones in here so let's just get right into it we have normally i don't go through and look okay i'm glad i did could be happier what can you say um let's just get right into it Gustav yin quests i believe mark edwardo edward vlask radko gundas patrick maroon ryan getzlov mini i like collecting these mini cards pittsburgh peng pittsburgh penguins team checklists that's an okay one i don't mind that one i'm going to put that one there dylan larkin and andre kovoski kovoski wow i know i butchered that one i do apologize that's what you get for doing these one take videos um you don't practice you just collect getz and uh show them on a video and i love doing oh this one seems heavy let's just go right into it jonis broden blake komo david savard torrey mitchell i have a mini for eric holla put my cards right that one there um philip forsberg um shayan goss goss to be here goss to be here and dustin brown la kings two packs left going strong we have jonah larson johann larson sorry jeff carter la kings tarler tofley la kings braden point lucas walmark eric hula who i just got his uh retro card a minute ago bret richie and david bakas who i have his upper deck jersey card for this year i think i pronounced that right and put that in that category um and the last pack possibly the last pack of opichki unless i go to the store and buy single packs let's just get right oh oh oh i might have done a little bit better with this pack uh drake kaggilla kengla keng i can't pronounce that sorry dale weiss jon carlson torrey krug i'm hoping this one's worth a little bit more value it's a marky crookie for vlad slav kaminev but it is the foil card i'm gonna look up the value of that one that could be a really good one we're getting a few rookies here and there with opichki so that one i'm really excited to find out the value and i will put that in the description below so check that out i have the oh i got an all-star retro card for patrick kane i'm gonna check the value of that one too i don't expect too much for this one but still would be really cool derrick ryan and richard panic so it doesn't surprise me that you guys are gonna know these two are the best two cards i think i have in this pack i think this one's of more value because it's a foil card not only it's a rookie card but it is also a foil rookie card so i will check it out let me know down below what you guys liked in this video what you guys expect to see in the future and uh yeah haven't opened it yet you guys might have seen a few videos so far this is the blaster box i got straight from upper deck online and as i said i was going to do i'm gonna space these out so i'm gonna have an opichki video then i was gonna have one of these so comment down below which ones you liked out of the opichki videos or the um series one blaster box and let me know what you guys enjoyed seeing which cards you liked the most anyways i will see you guys in the next one peace
