our boards but the and expertise but also the energy and enthusiasm for people to volunteer for those boards here planning commission you've always had a great resource in ed but one of the things we as the administration have not done well to this point is to help all of our boards over commissions understand where they fit in the structure of peter's township government what their role is and what are some of the their duties in the limitations of their power that's been rectified recently put together the board and commission handbook that you see before you tonight it's purpose is really several fold help members out like i said understand your role and peter's concha government where you fit in in terms of the entirety of the townships organization provide information on how each committee functions this is more redundant for all of you because you've been together for some time now information on state local laws that govern your work municipalities planning code in your place specifically and probably most important about a code of conduct and members in terms of your interactions here when you are in session when you're out in the community and state the houses are staying in the township that they started and correct overall keep my comments sure because i knew the steelers kick off before too long but obviously we have some questions and i think we have some concerns some of which i think need the r t are addressed by the plans it would be interesting if someone on the so i think our concerns are pretty simply gathered in two categories one has to do with what you all would call the storm water management of what i'm calling the water run think presented in nice job of talking through the way the water works today on the property and the fact that there's what i think of as a wetland but it was referred to as a rainfall launder something like water runoff there's water but there's also dirt in quite frankly the existing trees the root system you know isn't good because that all the dirt or much of the dirt that's around the roots of the trees that are there which are nice trees to point had tonight on the water runoff the second big category that we have is a concern jeff is the is the privacy you know we've gotten accustomed to kind of cars coming and going you know on that property today with the day care and so you know there's little that we could say we bought the home and the condition right we bought the home daycare there so we're we had knowledge that there's a parking lot there there's there's cars through there and if it's less traffic and that's great i think what's what's changing now is we're going from from a one story structure that by the way because it's elevated like i said it's uphill from our house it's a one story structure today that really looks like a two story to us because it's up on higher than we are now we're going to two story building and if we went if we could pull up the diagram you'd see the balcony that balcony on the top left the south elevation and it's a deck which is two stories above my house because we're already a story above where we're set so it's an it's a request of the commission to consider desert as a  the tree how back there is something that i think might need to be addressed as wow we had two trees fall one actually fell on our house from that property but i know a little bit about tree house and i think the three adjacent trees that are the largest mature ones there aren't actually that healthy so they might not be salvageable so am i to have issue with privacy to my husband fact there for the same exact reason right now the property has a privacy fence on it it's about six feet tall my entire backside of my house is completely open so that if the screening is just an artifact and our daughter's bedroom is also on the same saw it as that house so we've been really worried about removing that privacy fence and adding in just some traditional screening because the building will look directly into the whole back side  y there is a privacy fence on the property we believe it's own as it stands currently by the existing property it's falling down it's not in great condition i'm so even if the screening is put  record i agree i'd like to think about adding some conditions around the civic privacy related to the view i know both of our homes have a lot of windows we have a mid century modern and our entire back side of our house wet and a little rain water garden thing needs to be dug out and kind of read reestablished my concern though is that that will continue over time to fill in locks and then the same thing will it is drenched in water all the time to the point where you can't even cut the grass under it and now down in our yard which is even lower it's like a marshland so much of the time that it makes it difficult to cut our grass now if the other thing is do you really feel do you feel comfortable that there is that because there will be more asphalt and therefore more water trees in the fall and all through the winter they're not going to provide any bit of privacy whatsoever for these folks at all nothing and they will be open and these folks have a p that i'm addressing the balcony to balcony is just if i were them i would move away and i would not want to see my neighbors my nice neighbors move away because they have no privacy i'm concerned still about what they i'm not sure why the balcony has to be around that side i mean i think it's wonderful that it be they would be there for the employees and it looks nice it sat around but i just don't think it should come at the expense of their privacy and really their concerns for safety as a mom or a mom now but i would be very concerned about who was working and who could see my children you know are they really going to vet all their employees and cleaning crew and make sure there's no criminals you know i mean it seems like an awful expense for a busy so having yet it seems like too much of a worry to me if i were living there and i'm only stuff don't sponsor all that stuff so now you're going to make you're going to increase the size of the great to carry water to her home or the water that is being controlled and comes off of that s it's different if somebody sitting at their computer screen when they should be working so yes it's very different if they're on their brace on versus at their desk or in a conference room working i spent a lot of my time conference rooms so i  jeff i like your idea and if that wouldn't be considered by the gentleman i would ask that the commission consider requiring that it be evergreen trees like i like your suggestion on that ted or whomever brought that up and i also like the idea of there being a privacy fence required between the property and the property so i'm open to ideas and i want to be a good neighbor as we have to do to the neighborhood but as any good father would i have to
