Yes Hello, my name is Dwayne DeWitt. I'm from Roseland. I wanted to thank you folks Wanted to say good holidays to you folks and may have very happy holidays into a very good new year I know that being a volunteer on these types of activities can be very time-consuming But I feel it's very important because it almost seems as if the design review board has been neutered Emasculated it's been sent to the sidelines Six years ago the Tubbs fire gave certain people within the city's jurisdiction The obligation they felt to say oh, we have to do things more in a hurry and that's six years ago though And they're still within that same kind of mindset And it's actually having a negative effect upon different neighborhoods such as mine out in Roseland There's been this building boom where anything goes You can just say it's going to be affordable and you get to have it It's not good for our community. We are definitely struggling with overpopulation We're overburdened and we're underserved our roads are falling apart They're not being fixed in a timely manner for all the new residents that are moving in in the past One of the buffers we had to help this was that the design review process Before the Planning Commission Helped to make sure that projects were balanced and they actually helped the community Instead of creating more of a problem Now many of you probably never go over to Roseland and if you do you might see Sebastopol Road and think well That's the main deal You should go out to South Roseland go out to Herne Avenue Where all the new thousands of homes are planned to be coming in and look across the field from Dutton on to Herne look out that field to the Southwest you'll see what we call the stockade Fort Burbank Giant three-story buildings put out there in the middle of a field years ago because they were affordable housing And the roads are very narrow Very tight spot an emergency waiting to happen And the folks out there they were like hey at least we got a place to live so we're going with it It was a self-help kind of project the place is packed with cars, and there's cars all over all the extra streets all around Okay, so just take your time some time and go out there and look for yourself Don't take it for me and then think about it as you being designers and planners What you think is good for a community? We like Humboldt Street myself and others We like to JC neighborhood those nice open streets Tree tunnels really good stuff. We're not getting that in Roseland, and it's something that you could change I do believe the tubs fire stuff will be over next year. They gave them an extension for another year But after that hopefully you'll be back in the game. Thank you kindly for your time Thank you very much. I would like to Do we have anyone else looks like we don't have anyone else to chair Jones Carter, thank you public comment is closed item four four point one statement of purpose zoning code chapter 20 dash 52 point 030 f project review The review authority shall consider the location design site plan configuration and the overall effect of the proposed project upon surrounding properties in the city in general Review shall be conducted by comparing the proposed project to the general plan any applicable specific plan applicable zoning code standards and requirements Consistency of the project within the city's design guidelines Architectural criteria for specific area and other applicable city requirements Item four point two board member reports.
