>> dear heavenly father, thank%

you for this moment of peace. As you reach out your hand to us

in so many ways, you reach out a

hand of peace, a hand of love, a

hand of grace, you give us so

many things. Tonight on behalf of the council

us wisdom, and bless our outcome s.

On behalf of our community, we

in which we dwell and give thanks for it.

The beauty of our city, the

beauty of our country side, the

beauty and fabric of our very community.

On behalf of our country, we ask

for you to help unify our union, take distracting voices, mean

voices, voices that don't add.

Quiet them so the still small

voices of those in need, those

who hurt, those who need help

can be heard, found and receive it. Tonight we also ask that you

bless one of our very own, our commissioner of finance who has

not been with us.

And we ask for you to give him

grace, the peace of healing and

the patience of healing. And dear lord for less than a

month you have had my dear mother's spirit there, cast in

the light of an angel.

Her pain is no more, her worries are no more.

But we Miss Her just the same. Bless her and all those that are

there and all those that are

Now we are on to other business

and my understanding is council member gibbs would like to make

a motion. >> thank you, mayor.

I move to place have public

comment on pensacola moratorium to move it to before ordinances

for second reading and preceding

the public comment grant betty

kerr, our director of historic preservation five minutes to

present us with pertinent information. So moved.

>> is there a second? >> all right.

Council member gibbs moved. Council member plomin seconded.

Are there questions or

clarifications that anyone needs

>> welcome Miss Kerr. >> thank you very much. I'll be very brief but I have

been asked to give you just a bit of a tour, if you will, for

what is, what constitutes the

properties on nicholasville road

that are part of your dialogue

relative to the moratorium.

This is, of course, get my click

er going.

>> could the clerk please start

the five minute timer, please.

>> so to give you just a bit of

an arm chair tour, if you will,

I'm only going to go through the

nicholasville road facing properties that are part of the

study area should the area be

initiated for such but they are

front edge of this historic

neighborhood on nicholasville

road so we are starting at the

end toward cherokee park on what

would be the right of your image

and all the plats and the city directories and such, we haven't

done the study so it's very preliminary but just know that

all of this neighborhood and the

stretch of nicholasville road, all these residential houses

date to the 1920s, 30s, with two tore three from the 40s.

And I'm not going to attempt to

give you any in-depth history or architectural style.

All that is yet to come as part

of the study toward an h-1 designation consideration.

But so starting just as I say at cherokee and whoops, we should

back up a tad, I've walked it

from toward the south so everything will be in a

progression to end up at the end

of the residential area and the neighborhoods territory towards

southland drive.

So you'll see that most of the

houses have similar setback.

They are a mix of architectural styles and they, if I went the

right way, are also a lot of

bungalow that is very apparent,

but we are working our way towards suburban court and cross

ing over from suburban

court in a minute and we will

get to a property that is a

dentist office on the right in terms of memories of the street.

That has been a dentist office

for a long, long time so it's a

commercial use in the midst of

what is residential.

The bungalow on the corner there

at rosemont.

You cross over rosemont.

As you are aware, we are on the

odd numbered side on the west

you are well aware. Cross rosemont and arrive at a

good stretch with a lot of two story four squares.

The one on the corner is I think

it's a duplex. And there are all these

buildings you'll notice are very

intact in terms of their

character carrying on toward penmoken.

The tudor, the bungalow styles

and then as you get close to

crossing over at penmoken, you'll find bungalow, the one on

the corner and then next to that

, the one with the stone wall, this is unusual in that it

sits back a bit from the street

seems to be in the territory of what might have been the old

farm house area. Just walking it in the last few

days I have been intrigued by it

it's the only one in terms of the streetscape experience set

back like that.

Four square at the corner you are starting to the next block.

Coming along further you get a

really nice bungalow and a fascinating little tudor house

by the way, but again I'm not

here to talk all about the architectural heritage but it

can't help but catch your eye.

And then this is coming up to

the corner and so this house on

the right is before lokawana and

then you see one of the 1940s

house that is the more revival led style with the

evergreens and then after that,

you are coming right along towards toward goodrich and you

are not there yet but there is

an interesting I hopped past it

but this is a duplex on your

right and then another bungalow,

of course coming up after that. >> Miss Kerr, your five minutes

is over. >> good because I'm at the end

of my tour. >> perfect. That was great timing.

>> the last one you can key is a

more contemporary era structure. Thank you.

>> thank you so much.

So we have a vote to move up public comment and I have that

vote passed so I have several people signed up to speak and

when you come to the podium,

will you please say your name

and address your the record?

And for is r first is jacob wahlburn.

You'll have three minutes.

>> good evening mayor members of

the council, jacob wahlburn 201 east main street suite-9s 0.

Here on behalf of arcadia rental

s llc owners of property

at 1733 and 1737 nicholasville road.

These are the two extreme

northern border properties for I

guess they were previously included in the moratorium, as

it stands right now they're not in the moratorium but there May

be an effort to bring them back

tonight but since the letter, I stand by the arguments in the

letter. I'll try to touch on a few

things briefly what has become very obvious through this

process is that the this h-1 initiation and moratorium were

in response to an unpopular zone

change on property that fronted nicholasville road.

What some of you May know about me when I was previously

employed by the urban county government two of my divisions

were the board of architectural review and division of historic preservation.

I like to think I understand a little bit about the h-1 process

so I think it's very important

to point out a couple of things.

One, moratoriums are not an automatic part of the h-1 application process.

This is a superfluous extra step that has been requested.

The reason I know that is

because I presided -- or aided

and advised the boar during the ashland park process where no

moratorium was implemented and I would caution you to contact

your law department about inappropriately imposed

moratoriums as I'm given to understand the urban county

government has paid out six figure judgments when the

moratoriums have been deemed

inappropriate by the fayette circuit court.

It has been said that h-1 and

moratorium do not impact or detrimentally impact infill re development.

I think that is a patently false statement.

If you review the h-1 regulation

s, you have to meet very specific criteria before

structures can be demolished in

order to achieve infill development.

The moratorium expends tends that period to the time we have

evaluated the h-1 application. I'm running low on time owe

xylitol be brief.

This is a corridor that sees 33

,000 cars a day when you are

being asked to maintain single family residences in the comp

plan with greater density.

I think it's hard to reconcile

this effort with the goals and objectives with what this

community has resoundingly said wanted as part of the

comprehensive plan but most fundamentally my question is this.

Council member gibbs and some comments reflected that the

neighbors issue was not with in fill development but with poor

design and I think we can

certainly all sim thiedz with that.

Why h-1 and why not nd-1 which would provide the same protection they're seeking

without the requirement

inhibiting demolition and infill redevelopment.

We would ask that you would please leave our properties out of the moratorium.

And I appreciate your time. >> mill I johnson.

I found this poem and I want to

read it to you. >> did you say you were not

talking about the moratorium? >> right. >> this is just public comment

for the moratorium.

>> they told me it doesn't matter. >> it does matter according to

the rules.

>> when do I get to make mine...

>> yours will be during the regular public hearing.

The motion was to hear people commenting on the moratorium.

>> I understand.

>> thank you very much.

>> I live at 9 goodrich. I'm giving my three minutes to

other people that need more time to talk.

>> you'll need to tell me who they are and where they are.

Can you give me their names, please?

>> steven boss. >> okay. And is there anyone else?

>> no.

Okay.

You have nine minutes.

>> my name is steven voss, I own

the property at 162 goodrich avenue.

I first moved into there 20 years ago and I've lived there all this time.

In fact when I first moved there

is when mayor gorton first ran for her council seat.

I went to the first debate she had in our neighborhood.

Thank you for having me mayor gorton and council members.

>> that was a long time ago.

>> I have been here a long time one reasons because this lovely

neighborhood which I didn't want to leave.

What I have been asked to do in advance of possible

consideration of reversing the

decision, 11th hour decision to exempt nicholasville road

from the overlay, is to tackle a

few of the myths that neighbors felt had come up during the

debate last time with the hope

that it would prompt some re consideration.

The first thing that we view as a myth is the idea that the

moratorium goes against the draft comprehensive plan.

Rather we urge you to consider

tapping on the brakes on the potential for demolition in the

neighborhood area as a way to

protect the integrity of the historical overlay study.

If you can knock things down

before the experts are able to

to assess the merits of the historical overlay, that what is

is being undermined by exempting nicholasville road.

The second myth is the idea that nicholasville road is all

commercial. Indeed as you saw with the hous

ing tour and with this map, there is a whole stretch of

residential properties on both

sides of nicholasville road. Here there is also a church that

supported the overlay. Now what this picture doesn't

show you is what is not on the map. And, yes, it's true, much of

what is, much of what is beyond

that neighborhood is heavily commercial.

So what I would urge you in thinking about the importance of

that neighborhood and tapping on the brakes to wait and see the

merits of the historical argument is to think about what

someone driving from say nicholasville or getting off at

blue grass airport and being

driven around man o' war and brought to the university of

kentucky, what they say of the

community when they take that drive and what they see is yes,

a whole lot of commercial and some of it maybe not too

terribly attractive. And as someone who brings in

guests that we are trying to attract to the university of

kentucky who are judging this community, having that stretch

of homes that tell people, there

is a community here there are

neighborhoods here. There are real homes and

families who live here, that is invaluable to us as a recruiting

tool and I hope it's something the importance of that

relatively attractive stretch of homes, I hope the importance of

that to whole city not just to

the particular districts

represented there will urge you to will convince to you have

some caution and tap on the brake.

Next myth is the idea is if you allow this moratorium, this

temporary delay while the merits of the historical overlay gets

assessed, you are giving

neighborhoods away to undermine the the spirit of the

comprehensive plan's emphasis on infill and redevelopment. This is not true.

It's only a delay. Moratoriums have been given

before and when they have been given all the streets within the

area have been covered if the decision is made that a decision

is made the moratorium goes away

, nothing stops that infill development. It's a request to tap on the

brakes for a little while until the experts can evaluate this

neighborhood and decide whether

it's important to the community. These are not historic homes,

myth. As you can see from the map and

the legend on the side, the

majority of these homes in the pensacola neighborhood are 50

years or older.

80% are pre-1945.

Now it's true this definition of

historic doesn't involve huge mansions. These are... This is an historic

area that is actually affordable , which is again

something that helps us recruit starting professionals to this

community but that doesn't mean it's historic because it's not

giant mansions.

Finally the myth is that there is too much underunilateral lies

ed land along the nicholasville road corridor even

if you view attractive lawns and

spacious lawns as a waste, as

land not being properly utilized it's not true that the homes

along this stretch are being underutilized in a distinctive way.

We have an example here of

richmond road home and nicholas ville home and as the statistics show you when you

look at the square feet of the

home compared to the acres, the coverage above the house is

roughly comparable across these neighborhoods.

So I hope that in this comprehensive presentation that

brought together the arguments

of several of my neighbors,

we've given you some grounds for reconsidering how important it

is to rush that demolition along

and not tap on the brakes. >> thump. >> jessica voight.

[Applause]

>> my name is jessica voight,

I'm representing 1857 nicholas ville. He is in china and asked me to

speak for him and I'm also

representing my property 1859 nicholasville because since we

are being owe omitted from the moratorium I felt there needed

to be some representation for the nicholasville road corridor.

I think it's important that a

resident is set that if you take this out of the moratorium what

does that mean for overlay. It seems like there has been a

decision being made and I feel a

little bit like we are

discriminated against I I have lived at pensacola park for 25 years.

Have I two points that I would

like to make tonight. 34r0e parkings bounded by suburb

an court through goodrich avenue and homes on the west

side of nicholasville road

between suburban and good rich. These homes on nicholasville

road are part of our

neighborhood they were built at

the same time as pensacola park.

The homes yards are adjacent yards on adjoining streets as

are the rest of our yards. Just north of our neighborhood

is the seven parks h-1 district. This historic district so

designated in 1999 included nicholasville road.

Our neighborhood deserves the

same respect for the integrity of our neighborhood.

Point 2: the comprehensive plan

does not advance the notion of demolition densification at all

cost.

In fact, the plan states just

the opposite, for example, place

making policy number 9. Honor lexington's history by

requiring new development and re developments to enhance the

cultural, physical and natural ley sources that have

shaped the community. Growth policy number 4.

Promote the adaptive reuse of

existing structures. The comp plan states sense of

place provides a visible symbol of our heritage, a connection to

the past and a source of pride.

Historic buildings, significant rural landscapes and other place

s have unique characteristics define the community and have qualities

that are, in many cases, un definable.

These buildings, neighborhoods and rural landscapes and other

places are resources that are

important to protect and

preserve regards than cutting

off the prospect of any future development, brandting pensacola

park this moratorium and

ultimately an historic overlay

will encourage adaptive reuse and integration in the existing

neighborhoods. Encouraging redevelopment of existing neighborhoods that

meets professional standards assists neighborhoods and

developers alike in coming

together to integrate historic

structures with new developments

an h-1 overlay will assist in bringing the neighborhoods and

developers together for better infill, redevelopment and adapt

ive reuse.

Tonight please support the

moratorium including our section s of nicholasville road.

Thank you. If you would please retrain from

clapping or anything else like that.

Thank you.

Next up is carol m. Red mile road.

>> does this give me permission to speak at the end of the meeting.

>> you are not speaking on the moratorium? Is that correct?

>> no, I have to wait.

>> thank you, sir.

Next is T.L. Weiss.

Normally the council asks people

who are -- he basically has given

you his time but he is not here

and he needs to be here. You can speak for yourself.

>> Mr. Wise is in italy on

vacation and has add asked me as his friend and apparently as a

lawyer to read the statement for him. >> okay. Council?

I'll need a motion if you want

to give Miss Butcher too I am to

let her read someone's statement >> it has been moved and second ed.

All those in favor say aye.

Anyone opposed? >> thank you, mayor, council

members. As I said, this is a statement

from T.L. Wise who is on vacation and cannot attend.

He asked me to read this for him he has been corresponding with

me via email and text.

My friend, T.L. Wise is a lexington real estate broker and

stands for private property rights.

As a realtor for 42 years he has represented many homebuyers.

It is the american dream to own your home and with that deed

comes certain rights. Some neighbors in the suburbs

have deed restrictions on use, home size, fencing and so forth.

In the nicholasville road corridor, the neighbors enjoy

less regulations and few deed restrictions. Property owners have the ability

to make choices on how best to utilize their properties.

Those are the considerations the

rules and the deed when Mr.

Wise bought 1855 nicholasville road in 1985.

He has never filed a zone change

and he did not ask for this

attempt to by others to seize or restrict his property rights.

Even though his mailing address is listed on the website he was

not contacted about the proposed moratorium or h-1 overlay.

He also believes most if not all of the corridor owners were not

contacted. There wasn't any notice to those

that were most affected. Many of the other corridor

owners still May not know about

this meeting or what has been proposed.

Make no mistake, nicholasville road owners are the target of

this moratorium and proposed h-1 overlay, a bald face add tempt

to restrict private property

rights and discriminate against

those who May seek rezoning. This was in direct response to

the zone change hearings on 1847 nicholasville road.

If the corridor properties are so important to the h-1 overlay,

why wasn't the moratorium attempted four months ago when

some folks said they had meeting

s to discuss the h-1 over lay. If the residents are so concern

ed, so angry, why didn't they and council member gibbs -- why did they leave before the

council session adjourned over two weeks ago.

There are well over -- I heard a number 33,000.

We had numbers of 60,000 cars a

day whizzing by on this major artery into lexington from the south.

As much as all of us wish it was

, it was not part of the proponents neighborhood just

because our property is are adjacent to theirs.

We must protect lexington for

horses, U.K., farmland and corridor redevelopment.

Please do not condone the action

s by a few to seize control of other people's

property at the expense of our entire community now and in the future.

Do not let the voices of the

many who hatched this plot drown out the rights of the most affected.

There are 400 homes in the moratorium area.

Who knows if those neighbors know all about.

This the 20 corridor owners most directly affected most do not

know.

Please do not let the number of emails of supporters that had

notice urged by facebook blind your good judgment.

Please continue to vote to exclude the corridor properties

from the moratorium and h-1 over lay. >> thank you Miss Butcher.

Next up is nathan billings.

>> nathan billings with billings law firm.

It is my pleasure to represent

gray stone lodge l lc, the owner

of 1739 nicholasville road. Limited time we are not going to

solve this debate about whether

or not there should be a h-1 overlay on the approximately 30 -

properties in the nicholasville

road corridor discussed tonight rather this is a primmer for

what's going to be a much longer

and more thorough vigorous debate regarding what is the

future of lexington. What is the comprehensive plan going to say and how are we

going to protect our historic areas?

That is not an easy question. not an easy answer.

With respect to this debate

tonight, I have very limited

time and in law school the first thing they taught us is approach

every legal question with a

simple framework called what is

the issue, the rule of law,

analysis and conclusion.

Straightforward linear assess ment you can usually apply and come to the correct legal answer in every case.

Tonight I submit to you if you apply a similar framework you

will come to the conclusion that nicholasville road should be

excluded from the moratorium

zone just like you did two weeks

ago I have a similar framework. Number one, let me say this

before I begin with the myths. My statements tonight should not

be intended at all to be a

comment on whether h-1 is or is not appropriate.

I was previously vice chair of the infill and redevelopment

committee when mayor gray was the vice mayor.

I served on the board of architectural review for four years.

I'm currently renovating property on constitution that is

a significant expense for the

h-1 overlay and historic tax credit project.

I'm committed to historic projects and historic preserv ation.

I own mult multiple properties

in h-1 overlay zones. My comments should not be

construed or read to say it's against the zoning.

It's to say this.

Adding the nicholasville road

properties in what is probably is a mistake this evening.

the myth number one. That it could hamper the

pensacola park's application to

become a historic neighborhood.

That is not true.

Ciph read article 13, preserv ation guidelines and

bylaws I was on the board of architectural review and none of

that has to do with whether or not there is moratorium that

affects that issue the

moratorium is a party, no harm

in a moratorium, any abrogation of property rights is a harm.

This is unique because lfucg never had opposition.

There is not a single case, not a single statute or ordinance

that supports the moratorium along nicholasville road.

My time has expired.

>> phil.

>> my wife liz beth and I reside at 128 rosemont garden.

We are owners of that property.

I am here tonight to show our support for the inclusion of the

nicholasville road properties in

the pensacola park moratorium. Seems like there May be a little

bit of confusion regarding

exactly what the moratorium

covers all we are asking for is

the abs tinnation of demolition and zone changes until the study is complete.

That's it.

This should include to exclude the properties on nicholasville

road from this moratorium is an injustice to the neighborhood as

a whole. These properties are an integral

part of our neighborhood and the historical factory that it bring

s to the city.

This is not reflective of the comprehensive plan, which has

been stated before nor 69 zone change on nicholasville road.

This is about the moratorium and

letting the study do its thing. Sometimes it's helpful to

consider the other side of the

coin when making an important

decision.

Please allow the due process of

this procedure to take place.

Vote to include the properties

on nicholasville road in the moratorium.

Thank you for our time.

>> thank you.

Carol halls.

>> I'm carol halls and I live at

120 wabash drive.

As a 25 year member of hunter presbyterian church and

representative of hunter, the

session which is our governing

body has voted to support the

h-1 overlay and has held several

neighborhood meetings there.

On a personal note, two weeks

ago I took photos of tons of

trash that are frequently lay

outside of the 1907

nicholasville road rental and

twice last year late in the year , April and either August or

September, I picked up several

bags of garbage because I can't

stand the mess and I don't... I live about three blocks away

from it.

I'm guessing as rentals increase , so will the garbage

that degrades our neighborhood. >> are you going to be speaking

about the moratorium?

>> yes.

So I am in favor of keeping the

moratorium and just to, so everyone can slow everything

down a little bit.

And last, francois at 143 goodrich. >> is that good?

You'll have to state your whole

name and address for the record.

>> francois palmerleau.

I have lived there for 13 years.

I chose this neighborhood

because I really liked the environment, the way it looked

like when you come to the street

and I just realized recently

because all the work that jesse

has done, that our neighborhood is really an old neighborhood,

really historic and even the

houses on nicholasville road, so I vote... Well I would like to

support the h-1 overlay and also the moratorium but we need to

include the houses on nicholasville road because they

are historic. Thank you for your time.

>> thank you very much.

Tim condo.

>> good evening mayor and council members.

My name is tim condo with the bluegrass trust.

We submitted an email to the

council members earlier today. So I won't belabor the points

made in that. I just want to reiterate that we

think that the nicholasville road properties should be

included in the moratorium.

I would also like to comment on

a couple remarks from tonight. The question of whether this

should be an nd-1 versus h-1, I

think that is irrelevant to the discussion right now.

The neighbors have already met

with the proper planning folks at the city and determined this

was the best course of action.

This is the will of the neighborhood and this is what

they want and so we should

respect their decisions in this process.

And next there has been much

said about the comprehensive plan and infill and re

development is certainly the

way to go for the city as a growth strategy moving forward.

But also in the goals and

objectives of the comp plan it mentions the importance of

preservation of our historic

resources. Those two things are not mutual

ly exclusive. You look at the call for greater

density along the corridors. That is needed certainly.

It makes the most sense of where to put the density but there is

also a lot of language about respecting in tact neighborhoods

so not all infill redevelopment needs to be targeted right at

the in tact neighborhoods and

while the moratorium isn't specifically mentioned in

chapter 13 of the zoning ordinance, it's a useful tool in

this process.

It allows us to pause and let

the process play out and you've heard from many supportive

members of the neighborhood let

this play out and let so that we have the best information

possible on which could base our

decisions whether or not those properties on nicholasville road

end up making it in the h-1 ultimately. We won't know that unless we

have the best data to work with. >> thank you, Mr. Condo.

That ends the list of people who

wanted to speak to the moratorium. Council member gibbs.

>> just one quick comment. The neighbors were very

sensitive about our time and the point is simple.

They don't want a lot of redundancy but I want to

recognize people who came and

chose not to speak and just came for support f. You came to

support the moratorium, please stand so the council can see how

many folks came out here and did

not speak. Thank you, mayor.

>> you can speak if you would state your name and address for

the record.

>> my name is merith gillespie.

I've spoken a few times.

I live at 164 pen motor vehicle en -- penmoken park.

I've raised my daughter there. I have been there 36 years.

Again, we are not against

necessarily at all the infill.

It's the way it's done and to

properly integrate into our beautiful neighborhood.

I have said time and again we

are a working class neighborhood

we are one of the most diverse neighborhoods you will find in

this community and we want to preserve that.

We feel by just, I know the initial plan is just an initial

plan but what was presented was

so out of character with our

neighborhood on the corner of

nicholasville road at penmoken,

it really literally threw me for

a loop that I'm still spinning from. I support the moratorium for

nicholasville road as well as

the rest of the areas obviously. I somewhat resented what the

lady over here said. I understand she was talking for Mr. Wise.

She does not live in our neighborhood. She does not have property in

our neighborhood. She has spoken many times and

she made the insinuation that we left early.

I'm not familiar with all of this.

I thought when our council memberman, we left because we

were all done.

I didn't know at the INth our another council member was going

to throw something in to exclude nicholasville road and let two

more developers try to get, I guess they are able now to get

what they want to try to do as far as inlay development, which

is, again, not what we are opposing. It's the type of inlay.

It's to preserve our city.

It's to preserve the uniqueness of our city.

You are not going to find many

areas that have was we have. You are just not going to find

it. And I have been in this city 30

years. I was a social worker for 34

years with the city.

I've worked the streets of this

city at night until about 10 years ago.

I retired seven years ago. It got a little bit dangerous

with the gun violence where I stopped doing that.

But I was never afraid to go

anywhere and I resented the fact that someone said something about the boarding home there

that it was a danger zone or something.

That was another meeting and because 10 men live there.

I've known many of those men and

they have been wonderful and not trashed... I don't know.

I pick up trash on our street also and I was the one who was

picking up trash also on Mr.

weiss' rental property.

>> ma'am.

>> I wish you all to consider the moratorium to take a pause

and get more information, come to our neighborhood.

Come visit us.

>> thank you. >> is there anyone else who

didn't get a chance to speak on the moratorium.

You'll need to come to the podium and state your name and

address for the record.

good evening: my name is

peggy williams I live at 123

penmoken park in a brick crafts

man home built in 1925.

As a grief counselor for the

past 20 years, I have never, ever left an event early or a

group early.

Until tonight I feel I need to tell you 24 so you can

understand the significance of

my presence here at this meeting I have been involved with the

local neighborhood meetings, but have not always attended the

council meetings because I had every confidence in our dedicat

ed and qualified

neighborhood representatives

those folks who were doing the

research and trying to

communicate our needs to the

council, I also had a trust in a

system in a process that would use this information that was

provided by our representatives to make fair, reasonable and

logical decisions until thursday February 7. That was the night when the

council meeting somehow went awry between what we were

understanding was happening,

though I was not here and what

happened somehow there was some diversion -- I don't have a word

for it of the h-1 process.

The process that council is

responsible to protect for the citizens.

I see my need to leave an event, grieving spouses to come and

present to you.

I am requesting the council accept the resolution for a re

vote regarding moratorium on demolition and zoning changes

for all of the proposed boundary area including the houses on

nicholasville road.

Those houses that are the

gateway into our community and

our neighborhood and they're the majestic anchors of that

particular corridor. This moratorium should be in

place until the overlay study is completed.

It should seem logical and reasonable from my perspective

that the overlay study will

assist all the parties in making

sound future decisions based on

facts without the protection there could be a rush for

demolition some of which May or

May not prove to have significant historical value to lexington.

The neighborhood and the citizen s of lexington deserve

the respect of this protection which has been offered to other

overlays in the past.

>> you have five seconds. >> I would like to thank you for

your support and consideration

for the revote. >> jerry gillespie.

I live with my wife merith.

I have spoken at several meeting

s I made some phone dahls so that you can have a face with

a name and a voice for those of

you who don't know who I am. I'm also looking at the board

here seeing that we are studying

tonight the second reading, which at my last meeting I was

told would take place today on

February 21; however, when our

council memberman who presented

this moratorium left the meeting

and the neighbors in our area

had spoken, again, as my wife

stated, we thought our issue was

done for the night so we left.

After we left, I seriously

questioned the timing and the

motive for Miss Mosotti present ing the amendment that

would alter the moratorium.

I fully support the h-1 overlay.

I support the moratorium.

I also strongly request a revote

and I meant no disrespect in

those of you who received my

rather stringent phone call.

But it was reactionary in the

sense that I did not and do not

again understand the timing and

the motive for that amendment.

And I strongly advise all of you

to reconsider your vote.

And as I've stated many times,

take more time to stud they issue.

We do not oppose infill and/or

development as long as it is appropriate and fits with the

rest of the surrounding area. Again, I meant no disrespect but

I was taught that you have to earn respect.

It doesn't just come with the

position.

Eight of you received my phone

call.: the two of you had did not get my phone dahl have earn

ed my respect.

>> my name is scott dwyer.

I live across nicholasville road in the penmoken neighborhood.

I'm in support for the moratorium because I think the

terrible precedent is going to start on the entire block on

both sides of the street.

The first time one house is torn down, it's not going to stop at

the next piece of property, the next piece and next piece of

property until both sides of that street have no longer have

homes on them and they're all

businesses or randle shackle

amounts -- ram shackle apartments

that are cheaply built just for profit. We are concerned on our side of

the street because there are

several larger homes that are currently residential homes that

people enjoy living on and in. Talk about 33,000 scars driving

by our street every day but they

want to put more people on that piece of property closer to the road.

I think that's a flawed argument to say that the car traffic

matters if you want to live on

nicholasville road or not. Please support this moratorium

because across the street we are concerned also with the

development of our side of the street and what is going to

happen with those pieces of

property. >> so there are no others who

wish to speak to the moratorium.

>> can I make a real quick

comment.

I want to clarify one thing that Miss Butcher has repeated over

and over.

As part of initiating the h-1

process, we went around with

with a patriot sheet to get the

different property owners to

sign sign up, if the property

owner did not live there, I

performly sent absentee ballots.

I sent them personally to arcadia rentals.

i sent an absentee ballot to the

owners of the gray stone lodge,

and to the owner of record of m

r. Ellinger ears property. It was his mother.

I sent her an absentee ballot. I wanted to clarify we have not

tried to hide in I go from anybody.

I made a big effort at my own

expense to address nose letters

and send them out to several

people. Thank you very much.

>> thank you all for coming and

expressing your opinions. Council member gibbs, you would

like to speak. >> yes, would I like to make a

motion if it's okay. >> I'm a little stopped up can

you make it loudly.

>> what would I like to do, the

issue we are talking about is number 17 under resolutions for

second reading.

And I was wondering if we could separate that out from the other

resolutions and consider that

first.

>> should we do the ordinances first and then do that.

>> I think it would be fine to do the ordinances first and then

just know that so the public knows that we are separating it

out at the time of second readings following the first

reading and second reading of the ordinances.

>> there are only a handful of ordinances. I agree with council member lamb

we should go through those and

then do number 17 first.

>> so follow the order of the docket until we get to the

second readings and then your

motion would take item 17 first. >> right. >> I think we can vote on that

motion now would that be okay? >> somebody else was logged in

but is there anyone who wishes

to speak? Okay. All right.

We can go ahead and take the

vote and then we'll follow the

docket until we get down there

to resolutions and we'll take

the 17 first and by itself.

All those in favor say aye.

Anyone opposed? All right.

That motion passes.

So when we get to resolutions second reading, I'll ask the

clerk to go ahead and read 17

first. Okay.

So now we move on to second

reading of ordinances. An ordinance changing the zone from a single family residential (R-1c) Zone to a planned

neighborhood residential (R-3) Zone, for

0.525 net (0.737 gross) Acres, for property located at 1847

>> thank you. Do I hear a motion to approve

second readings. >> second.

>> council member mossotti moved

will you call the roll please. >> Ms. Mossoti.

>> yes. >> Ms. Plomin.

>> are there any motions for

walk ons or second reading to

suspend the rules?

Seeing none, will you take vote, please. Never mind.

We don't need that.

Did you wanted to speak now, council member lamb?

>> we are getting ready to go to

second reading, yes. >> so that means we are taking

up number 17 at the beginning of of resolutions.

Yes ma'am I would like to speak. >> you have the floor.

>> thank you very much.

The motion that was made -- >> excuse me for a second.

Are you able to put 17 up there on the screen.

Thank you. >> there have been a lot of

conversations over the last

couple of weeks about this

amendment that we made well

within our legal process at a

council meeting on February 7

and I want to say this before I

move forward because it really,

it bothers me for people to

insinuate that I personally made

any malicious vote or did

anything maliciously.

It is just not true. Anybody that knows me personally

does know that I don't do anything maliciously.

We have received some of the

most heinous emails and phone

calls and I just have to state that this community can be

respectful and express our concerns in a very respecful

way and still get your point

across in which I really try to do but I just have to state that

part before I go forward until this past weekend, I had not

heard any feedback from my constituents in the 4th

district.

On sunday night, I attended a southern heights neighborhood

meeting that they had invited me to and they shared their

concerns with me there the motion to exclude the

nicholasville road properties.

we had a discussion, we talked

about what happened on the night

of February 7 and and the process that took place that

again was well within the rights

of this council during a council

meeting. So I am wanting to take this

under consideration tonight so

just for my my colleagues information blf we move forward

under section 4.407 of our rules and procedures, we as a council

can reconsider a motion from the last council meeting in this

case it's the February 7 council meeting and to clarify that

motion to reconsider it takes a

majority of those that are

present excluding any members

who voted or had to recuse themselves which means that if

there are 12 council members present, with the throoy that

had to recuse, it would take seven votes to reconsider.

I'm stating all of this because

we do not have that many re considered and I want to make

sure that my colleagues are

familiar with this before I proceed. And if there are any questions

that we can vet them.

So tonight to allow for

conversation to be had, on this

motion, I move to reconsider the

motion taken on February 7 to

remove 1733-1916 nicholasville road, the odd addresses only.

I move to reconsider that motion now.

>> we have a motion by council member lamb second by council

member plomin to to reconsider

on number 17 is there any

discussion.

>> mayor, I'm not sure if this

is the time to respond to some

of the comments that were made

in the audience or for me to go forward with my position.

Is this the time right now?

>> it's for the motion. >> council member worley.

>> I think the clerk is already aware but for the clerk's

benefit and the public, depend

ing the outcome of this

discussion, I'm recused. >> vice mayor kay.

>> thank you, mayor. Before I speak, other council

members who also need to officially notify the council

and clerk that they are recusing if that would be appropriate.

Then I would like to speak.

>> are there others who want to

recuse? You know, you are supposed to

say why you are recusing

according to the rules. >> I thought it was a

continuation of the previous

record but you are right, mayor, Mr. Wahlburn who spoke this

evening is an associate in my law firm and a professional

colleague outside of this chamber so to avoid a conflict

of interest, I will be recusing. >> thank you. I appreciate it.

>> council member evans. >> it would be the same but I

believe that it was in council

member lamb's motion that the

explanation recused those who

had previously recused but for everyone's information yes, I

will remain recused on this. >> thank you.

>> council member ellinger.

>> I own the property at 1823 nicholasville road and I asked

the law department if I should recuse. They said yes.

It's not an abtension as report ed in the newspaper it was

a recusal and needs to be stated that way. >> thank you very much.

Is there anyone else who needs to recuse?

So we have 12 council members

who are eligible to vote vice mayor kay.

>> thank you, mayor, again.

I wanted to speak at this

juncture really to follow up on what council member lamb said I

was at the neighborhood meeting

sunday night and let's just say that emotions ran high and I

know that people are very concerned on both sides of this

issue. And I, like a number of other

council members have received or

I've seen emails, mostly were

not aimed at me because I voted

other way but I would just like

to say publicly what I said then I did not agree with that vote.

I did not agree with it on substance and I did not agree

with it on timing but I do not,

in the least suspect the motives

, the intention, the integrity of any of my colleague

s. I believe they were doing what

they thought was the right thing

to do when they needed to do it

I regret the optic optics and I really appreciate the motion to

reconsider so that we can have a

fuller discussion of this issue before so many of the people who

have concerns about it. Thank you, mayor. >> thank you.

Council member ellinger, did you need to speak?

>> no. >> council member mossotti.

>> thank you, mayor and to the neighbors who are attending this evening.

I appreciate it.

I did make the motion to amend

council member gibbs motion on February 7.

Imposing the moratorium on the

zone map amendments and the proposed demolition for the

pensacola park area.

I clearly stated my concerns in the January 29 work session

meeting and I stated it as well that evening, specifically my

motion was to amend to exclude

the properties located from 1733 -1915 nicholasville road as

it was noted in the resolution. The odd addresses only.

And I will repeat my reasons for bringing forth the amendment.

Number 1: the urban planning

commission voted 9-0 to approve

a zone change for 1847 nicholasville road on December 13.

Number 2: under theme a of the current goabs goals and

objectives of our comprehensive

plan it states support infill and redevelopment throughout the

urban service area as a

strategic component of growth.

I certainly respect the neighborhood's position.

And by no means was I trying to undermine it.

I just disagree with including those properties.

This was a democratic process

not an underhanded move nor was

there a motive. Nor any financial gain to be got

ten as a result of this zone change.

I've received emails that were

horrific phone calls that were

just hive I didn't respond to

because they were discourteous and disrespectful.

If you disagree, you disagree respectfully.

That's how I operate my integrity has been questioned

and I know anyone who knows me that I have been a neighborhood

advocate ever since I have been

on this council and that is the truth I'm so disappointed with

the lack of civility, the dis

respect and most of all the

misinformation that has trans fired -- transpired

throughout this process. Nicholasville road is a

commercial corridor.

It is the number one major re tail corridor in lexington.

There are almost 60,000 cars

that go through that day.

According to our comprehensive

plan, its goals and objectives, our focus is to increase density

on the corridor.

Most importantly, and I cannot

emphasize this enough. If we are going to put

restrictions on infill and re

development, it is going to

put undue pressure on the urban service boundary and that's

something I don't support and many of us up here don't. We can't have our cake and eat

it too. We can't say no we are not going

to do infill and no we are not going to expand the boundary.

So there has to be a compromise.

Obviously seven of my colleagues

fet the same way. Plain and simple.

That was my reasoning.

I believe this is the right way to proceed and it is in the

community's best interest and I thank you for your time.

That's all, mayor. >> we need to call for the

question on that motion.

>> there is one more person to speak.

One more council member.

You've called the question?

>> my concern is if it's not on

the motion, if council member

moloney is not speaking on the motion... I just want to make

sure we get the motion voted on

before we proceed.

>> Mr. Moloney took his name off

so the motion on the floor is to

reconsider number 17. So council member lamb has

called for the question, which

does take privilege over speaker >> the reason I called for the

question is that the motion to reconsider, if we do not -- if

that motion doesn't pass, then

our conversation is not relevant to discuss and that's the reason

that I did that you know the

question on number 17.

Do we vote on the call for the

question? Council member bledsoe seconds.

All those in favor say aye.

Anyone opposed?

Now sod on the motion on the

floor, all those in favor please

say aye. Want to have electronic so we

can see it?

Please register your vote.

That motion passes 9 portfolio 3  -- 9-3.

So we will we will have 17 come

back up and if I can -- is keith ... Would you come back up?

Since the motion passed, does

that mean it comes back with the

addresses added back in? >> no, you are back on the

motion that was made by council

member mossotti to remove the

nicholasville road addresses.

And to clarify when that amendment was made you removed

the part that excluded a specific property that already

went through a zone change process.

1847 nicholasville road.

So you will vote again on

whether or not to support council member mossotti's motion

and that will determine the

substance of number 17 it passed

and now we have to have a motion

to add back in the addresses that were taken out.

Is that correct?

>> you are reconsidering council member mossotti's motion.

I'm a little stopped up. I apologize so her motion then

is on the floor to be reconsider

ed so vice mayor kay we'll have discussion.

>> thank you, mayor.

>> I want to address a couple of

things there is a very large question before the council talk

ed about in a number of different ways.

That is property rights and whether someone has the right to

do whatever they want with their property.

And the short answer to that

question is no we have a series of laws and regulations which

this council passed, which have

been passed at the state and the

national level which regulate a lot about what is appropriate

and not appropriate to do with

your own property you can't take

it down in a zone and put something up in there that does

not belong in that zone. You can't let it deteriorate and

I could go on so it's really not a question of one person's

property rights in this

particular case, I would argue that if the moratorium does not

go into effect, the property

rights of all of the people who have asked for this protection

is put in jeopardy. And there is a further question,

which this council will be or dealing with for a long time and

that is how do the property

rights of a neighborhood compare

to the rights of the larger community as we work on this

difficult issue of infill and re development?

Our job as council is to weigh

those questions. There is not a simple answer in this particular case, what the

neighborhood is asked for is protection of their property

while they go through the

process of getting an h-1 over lay.

That's the way I see it.

Secondly, a lot of discussion about corridors.

And it is true that the proposed revision of the comprehensive

plan certainly emphasizes infill

and redevelopment and certainly

emphasizes car doors. But -- corridors.

But lets be clear. There are corridors and there

are corridors and there are parts of corridors and there are

other parts of corridors. I don't believe anybody sitting here would believe that the

intention in the comprehensive

plan is to take the stretch of richmond road leading out of

town and basically target it for redevelopment. That's not what it's about.

If you go further out on richmond road, maybe there are

opportunities. Same thing is true on

nicholasville road. As has been pointed out, there

are residential neighborhoods on nicholasville road and then

there is a commercial area. our job as council members is to

be to look at those questions.

And in this particular case I

think our obligation is no the to prejudge.

We have been asked to provide

protection for the neighborhood.

They believe that the h-1 over lay protection should apply

to all of the properties,

including those on nicholasville

road I believe our job at the moment is to provide that protection.

It's not unusual we've done this

before and then let's get the information.

It May be as we go down the road that that particular set of

properties are not appropriate for h-1 but we don't know that now.

I would urge my colleagues to re consider the way in which

they've thought about this and

provide to vote down this

amendment at this particular time. Thank you, mayor.

>> council member gibbs. >> thank you, mayor.

I think you'll understand that I would like to see this amendment

voted down. I want to make a couple of

comments about some of the public comment.

I'm not out to malign lawyers. It just happened that everybody

who spoke in favor of slicing off nicholasville road happened

to be a lawyer in regard to Mr. Wahlburn's comments, and

I've heard this from other people as well.

They seem to blame the

neighborhood for wanting h-1. Just knee jerk and so on but the

fact is, I would expect in any case when a neighborhood applies

for h-1 there must be some sort

of precipitating event and they

did have a precipitating event and it woke them up to the

dangers of unrestrained development along the corridor.

I don't think they should be blamed for that.

They should be commended for understanding there is a problem

and reactig to the problem. Mr. Wahlburn also said that a

moratorium was superfluous and

the reason he gave for that is

because, if I'm not -- I'm not trying to misrepresent.

Because there has not been a moratorium for all h-1s which is

true but historically there have

been moratoriums for four h-1s

and in every case, the council granted them unsliced up, right?

They granted them in tact. Mr. Billings, I really

appreciate you served on the boar. I'm really glad have you

property on constitution avenue. That has absolutely no bearing

on your comments on representing gray stone lodge you represent

them for pay and that's what you do and that's fine but doesn't

give you special rights to talk about h-1 in my opinion.

In regard to Mr. Wise's

comments read by -- sorry, I forgot your name, there is no

requirement for prior notification.

What I did was not sneak. I followed the law.

I tipped council off with advanced notice I was going to

do it as dennis web very nicely portrayed the efforts to reach

everybody I know the neighborhood did put out flyers.

If you didn't know about the moratorium, have you to live

under a rock what is it comes

down to you called them and I can't-bg9 for everybody's behavior.

Some people were rude I'm sure.

But probably hundreds of people

called contacted their council people in various ways.

Should we ignore those people and listen to, again not to

malign but all we have here are lawyers. Where are the citizens who live

in this area who are opposed to the moratorium?

There is not a single one. Just to reiterate a couple

points I think are particularly important, vice mayor kay just

made a couple of these, but you know, several people have made

this point that we have to develop corridors and again

there are corridors and there

are corridors.

Professor glasscock put this very nicely and this is a

neighborhood we need to take a look at whether this corridor

needs to be developed. We're not judging whether it is or not.

We are asking for a study to

judge to see if it should be protected.

My opinion, like the vice mayor, there are corridors that should

be developed. Winchester road, have at it.

You know, south broadway, south

of maxwell street, have at it.

These places have plenty of room

for redevelopment but richmond road?

Professor voss did a very nice

job of juxtaposing richmond road with nicholasville road which is

under consideration. If we go along with the

reasoning of some people here, coach cal better watch out

because a lot of you know where coach cal's mansion is on

richmond road. >> council member moloney. >> thank you, mayor.

I just want to tell everybody

why I voted the first time what

I did we had an important zone

change last year on tates creek

road and I was really upset when we had to tear that house down

and I'm not a big fan of tearing houses down but I commend the

council member at that time, understanding that that is when

the planning commission did and she had a public agriculture and

by having the public hearing she made some recommendations to

keep the character of the

neighborhood always in tact so they will always build what is

compatible to the neighborhood then that afternoon when we talk

ed about this, the motion was made I did follow up with

the other council members since

I have not been able to talk to the council member from the

third district. I asked the other council member

s did the third district council member know that this

motion was going to be made? They said sure.

And I said is he going to be here? No, he isn't going to be here.

I said well when I compare those two, that's the reason I voted

the way I did the other day in the last 24 hours something that

has come up that really disturbs

me. You all put on here that you had

a zone change. There were objections.

I have been on this council a long time and everything that

comes on nicholasville road has

always had a public hearing.

And public hearings 9-0 don't always mean you are going to lose.

I'll give you one example. I had a council member in 11th

district came to me and asked me

I've got a low income neighborhood that has three

people against 24 project and it's 9-0.

I said go ahead and have a public hearing.

We won 15-0.

We override the planning.

It bothers me that there was no public hearing on this property.

When I sit here and hear everybody saying how important

nat corridor is and you didn't

get a chance to put that zone change? It changed my concern that we

should have had that zone change and as a council members if

would you have come to me, I

would have requested that zone change.

That's what I did in the 11th district and I think to me

that's the biggest thing there are two sides to the story but I

really commend you all for what

you've done and you should be heard and you should have been

heard in the zone change. I've always supported h-1.

I think it's important to this community but I just want

everybody to know why I voted

the way I did and I hope it makes sense what I voted the way

I did.

So that's why I'm asking for, I think the council member

mossotti should not have been abuse what happened to her.

She did the right thing. She told the other council

members what she was doing and I compare that with that zone

change that happened on tates creek and I saw the similarities

and I didn't hear in ib complain about it and it really concerns

me so in the last 24 hours I've

really been upset what I heard, that you all did not get to

speak on the zone change. >> there was some confusion.

I want to clarify that. I was not aware that the motion

was going to be made although council member mossotti asked me

what I thought of a motion, some like that.

I was kind of upset about something else and I was getting

ready to leave. I apologize.

I work very hard on this job but I do have a wife and I was

meeting my wife for valentine's

day. I would not have left if I had

known it was going to happen. There was a miscommunication and

I'll take the blame in regard to council member moloney's comment

s, it seems to ring a

bell of I asked, I'm not going

to call them back up again but I asked director duncan if the

neighborhood could have likely gotten what they wanted in the

zone change hearing and the answer is no.

What they want primarily are

things like changes in design.

There is no mechanism to do that

. I stand by my statement and I

hope the neighborhood feels the way I did.

If some people disagree with me, that's fine.

I don't personally, I don't think we should have zone change

hearings for every zone change especially when the vote was 9-0

but I'll stop right there.

Thank you.

We have 12 votes and that motion

failed 8-4.

Or I guess technically it's 4-8.

So now I think we need a first

reading do we not?

First reading with new language.

>> a resolution... 96 through

171 goodrich avenue, 1855-1859

norfolk drive, 101-177 pen

penmoken park. Wabash Dr.; directing the div. Of planning to refuse to accept or

process applications for a zone change and directing the div. Of building inspection to refuse to

accept applications for demolition permits for these properties;

establishing the purpose of this moratorium is to give the

planning commission and the urban county government time to

consider and take final action on an

h-1 overlay zone application to be initiated by the planning

commission for these properties; and setting the duration of the

moratorium to be six months or until the council takes final

action on the proposed pensacola park area h-1 overlay zone, whichever

event occurs first. >> thank you very much. Vice mayor kay.

You're signed up to speak.

>> thank you, mayor.

>> I want a motion to suspend the rules.

We have had a number of

conversations about this issue.

And I am not going to push this

but I would like my colleagues to consider suspending the rules

and giving second reading

tonight to this resolution and I

will make that motion right now.

>> motion was made by vice mayor

kay and second by council member

james brown to suspend the rules

and give second reading to

number 17 and that will require

10 votes. To give second and suspend the

rules. So council member brown, did you

have a question?

>> yes, he just read the 17, but

he didn't include the nicholasville road addresses.

>> he did include them. >> I missed that.

I didn't see it up there. >> the law department handed him

the in you motion. >> but you did read the

nicholasville road.

So the first motion hive now we are in the first motion stage

which was actually the original way back a month ago.

>> right.

So right now is the motion is to consider.

>> to suspend the rules and that requires 10 votes.

All right.

All those in favor of suspending

itself rules please say aye.

We probably ought to log in

electronically again. There should be one more person

to vote.

That motion fails because 5-7 it

did not receive 10 votes so the

second reading will be, what's

our next date of our next council meeting that's when the

second reading will be. March 7 this will come up for

second reading.

>> good evening mayor gorton and vice mayor kay and all members

of the council I'm going to read a poem and then address some things.

This is black history month and

I'm not -- I'm giving a little

thing to myself, my birthday is in the in excouple of days.

And so I want to make sure that I address stuff that really

needs to be addresses first of

all the poem is look at the people.

Look at the people looking back at you.

Did you see the real people smiling just for you?

maybe I would like to be a people just like you.

But I can see that people don't

really look at me and you. Look at the people looking back

at you do they see what you see? Every place you look sometimes

there are people looking back at

you when you run a red light or

turn a corner, even though some

people keep looking at you, I

keep wondering am I the people

or are you?

And what I came up with is I

also took constitution 101 and

we the people of the united

states in order to form a more

perfect union established

justice, ensured domestic tranquility, provide for the

common defense promote the general welfare and secure the

blessings of liberty to

ourselves and our prosperity.

The constitution, this preamble sets everything for the rest of

the constitution and everything that the amendments and

everything under the

constitution comes from this pre

amble I want to stress the first amendment and I implore

you to look it up.

And also the 14th amendment. These are very important

amendments for peoples rights

and ability to move around in

the community how can you belong unless you accept each other.

And see what we are the people.

We are the people.

And we have long since lived off

of leaders like martin luther

king, mahatma gandhi, malcolm x, these leaders gave us a

footprint to follow and that is what their legacy is.

They left us a way to deal and work with each other.

>> Miss Johnson. >> and by standing in the gap,

we want to look, I guess. >> your time has expired.

If you could wrap it up, that

would be fine.

>> I want to you look into your

heart, it's in your heart, what comes, what is in your heart

comes out of your mouth and that's how you look at me and

every other person.

Just for the grace of God there goes I.

Thank you.

Name aaddress please.

There niez to be letter lextran bus service that would provide

transportation to the transit center.

There are no buses in operation the closest bus stop going

downtown is on versailles road or south broadway.

That takes approximately 15 or

20 minutes to walk from where I live.

There are a lot of college students and working class

people who live on red mile road

and need to have reliable transportation. When classes at the university

of kentucky are not in session,

it's harder for people to travel

to the downtown area.

I am a U.K. Healthcare volunteer

worker and depend on lextran bus service and need to have access

to my job in the downtown and

the downtown area. Always I'm a veteran of the

united states navy and have appointments at the V.A. Medical

center leestown division. Now the lextran has stopped

service to leestown road for red

mile road, it is harder for me to travel.

Basically there needs to be adequate bus service all year

round on red mile road in order

for people to have access to the% downtown area.

24 would help students in and
