(Item No xxx, C.C.P. xx /xx/xx This is to advise the Honorable Common Council that funds for the Wipe Out Lead of Buffalo, NY Lead Safe for Kid's Sake Application 2090 has been granted in the amount of $55,000. In May 2009, the City of Buffalo helped to launch a new initiative called Wipe Out Lead (WOL), in collaboration with HUD, the Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo, the County of Erie, nonprofit and faith -based organizations, and other concerned citizens. WOL has one goal: to end childhood lead poisoning in Buffalo and Erie County. Our strategy is two -fold: to improve collaboration between hazard control programs operated by City and County governments, and to increase community efforts to fill the gaps in these programs (this proposal addresses the latter). In just one year, WOL has. increased public awareness of lead poisoning and its prevention through its award - winning media campaign, provided training and supplies to 160 low income "do- it-yourselfers," provided over 500 volunteers (many from church missions) to help families who can't paint for themselves and made 106 homes lead safe for low income families with young children. WOL uses grassroots outreach, paid advertising, and free media to boost awareness among those in our region who are most likely to be affected. Residents who need help can access the telephone hotline to obtain information on free and low -cost services to prevent lead poisoning in their homes. Effective, this year, an intertund cash loan will no longer be available for this grant. Money will be drawn down as expenses are incurred and invoices will be paid, as the funds become available. These funds will be used to conform to the guidelines of the grant specified by the U.S. Conference of Mayor's.

That the potential negative environmental impacts of the Project have been avoided and mitigated to the greatest extent practicable pursuant to the SEQRA review process and recommendations associated therewith arising from the GEIS process for the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus — North End Development; g. That the proposed design for the MMTS is consistent with surrounding institutional uses while minimizing its visual and aesthetic impacts upon nearby residential properties. Specific design elements were used on the proposed MMTS to minimize the visual mass of the structure, especially as it relates to the Fruit Belt neighborhood to the east. Public greenspace along High Street and Michigan Avenue was also incorporated to further soften the edge of the structure relative to High Street and Michigan Avenue; h. The design of entrances and traffic circulation surrounding the MMTS, along with the traffic mitigation measures described above, minimize the potential adverse impacts to traffi flows in the vicinity of the Project Site; i. The Project, as proposed, includes areas to accommodate users of the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority system and the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus shuttle. Further, the MMTS is set back off High Street and stepped along Michigan Avenue to provide additional pedestrian - friendly areas and greenspace. The Applicants are also proposing to create a sculpture garden and provide surfaces for local artists to display their works. In addition, dedicated bicycle parking and locker areas are incorporated in the design of the MMTS to accommodate bicycle users on the Campus, and twelve electric vehicle charging- station have been installed; 1192392_1 j. The Project will adequately control stormwater runoff and the design has been accepted by the Buffalo Sewer Authority and will comply with all applicable standards; k. The Project will retail most of the existing vegetation and add additional greenspace along High Street, Michigan Avenue and the former Goodrich Street, which is not present currently; The MMTS was designed to provide fire lanes and emergency zones to assist first responders in accessing the structure if necessary. These designs have been reviewed by the City of Buffalo Fire Department and final engineering drawings will be subject to their review before construction; m, The structure is not anticipated to result in any ponding, flooding and /or erosion; and n. Lastly, the Project incorporates specific design considerations to address public concerns over the impact the structure would have on adjacent residential uses. In particular, the Applicants met with the Planning Board and the public prior to snaking the final design decision. The design which has been presented to the Planning Board is the design which reflects the comments of the Planning Board and the public.

Bate Final Generic Environmental Impact Statement Accepted: January 14, 2009 Bate of Lead Agency's Findings Statement: January 27, 2009 Contact: Brendan Mebaffy City of Buffalo Office of Strategic Planning RECEIVED AND FILED 901 City Hall Buffalo, New York 14202 Phone: (716) 851-5086 D Facts and Conclusions Relied on to Support the Decision: Kaleida Health, Ciminelli Development and the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus submitted various applications to the City of Buffalo (City) associated with the BNMC- North End Projects. SEQRA requires state or local governments to assess the potential environmental impacts of their actions during the planning, review, and decision - making processes for those actions. The public (City, County and State) approvals and permits required for the individual BNMC --- North End Projects constitute the "Action subject to SEQRA. The intent of SEQRA is to ensure that governmental decision - making is a balance of social, economic, and environmental factors be considered and weighed in reaching decisions on proposed activities or actions. Therefore, Agencies must determine whether a proposed action may have a significant effect on the environment, and if so, prepare or request that an environmental impact statement be prepared. Pursuant to SEQRA, the Planning Board determined that the Action was a Type I Action and sought and received concurrence from other Involved and Interested Agencies to be the Lead Agency. Then, on September 23, 2008, the Planning Board determined that cumulatively, the Projects may have a significant impact upon the environment and issued a Positive Declaration, requiring the Project Sponsors to prepare a DGEIS in accordance with the Planning Board - approved Scope. The Project Sponsors prepared and submitted the DGEIS to the Planning Board for review. On October 7, 2008, the Planning Board found the DGEIS to be in compliance with 6 NYC.R.R Part 617.9(b), and made a determination that it was adequate to begin public and agency review. The DGEIS was provided to all Involved and Interested Agencies and to the public at various repositories and on the City of Buffalo's website. The subsequent public comment period began on October 7, 2008 and concluded on November 18, 2008. A public hearing on the DGEIS was held at the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library on November 6, 2008. Input from the public review process was received in the form of written comments to the Planning Board throughout the public comment period and as oral/written comments received during the public hearing. The Planning Board determined that all the comments should be addressed in the form of FGEIS. After reviewing the comments, the Planning Board requested that the Project Sponsors prepare the FGEIS. Pursuant to 6 NYCRR Part 617.9(b)(8), the Planning Board reviewed the FGEIS prepared by the Applicants and determined that the FGEIS was complete on January 13, 2009. On January 15, the FGEIS was provided to all Involved and Interested Agencies and to the public at various repositories and on the City of Buffalo's websitc. The FGEIS addresses specific substantive comments raised during the public comment period and discusses mitigation measures which should be used to minimize potential negative impacts from the Projects to the maximum extent practicable. The Planning Board, as Lead Agency in this process, received and reviewed all of the documentation cited above. On August 27, 2010, the Applicants submitted a Site Plan and Area Variance Application ( "Initial Application ") to the City of Buffalo Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals. The Initial Application included a Letter of Intent ( "LOI "), a Full Environmental Assessment Form ( "FEAF ") and other relevant exhibits to the Planning Board. The Planning Board approved the Site PIan. on September 14, 2010 and the Area Variance was approved by the City of Buffalo Zoning Board of Appeals on September 29, 2010. The Applicants then submitted, on September 23, 2011, an Application for Site Plan Amendment and Area Variance to the Planning Board and ZBA respectively, proposing an additional level be added to the MMTS ("2011 Application "). The 2011 Application included an LOI, FEAF and ether relevant exhibits, specifically addressing the proposed Site Plan Amendment and Area Variance. The Applicants are seeping a Site Plan Amendment, accounting for the slightly modified design of the MMTS. Pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act, Article 8 of New York Environmental Conservation Law and 6 NYCRR Part 617 ( "SEQRA "), a governmental agency is required, prior to taping action on an application, to review the potential environmental impacts of a project to assess whether the action has the potential to have significant adverse environmental impacts. The Project Sponsors prepared a Draft Generic Environmental Impact Statement ( "DGEIS ") and Final Generic Environmental Impact Statement ("FGEIS ") for the entire North End Development on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. Pursuant to the process set forth in the DGEIS, FGEIS and the Planning Board's Findings Statement, the Applicants prepared and submitted to the Planning Board the first FEAF specifically for the construction of the MMTS, and an additional FEAF specifically addressing the addition of one level to the MMTS. These materials were prepared to assist the Planning Board in reviewing potential impacts of this Project. The DGEIS and FGEIS also specifically analyzed the potential impacts of a MMTS of this size and at this location and found that the impacts were minimal. In fact, the MMTS is specifically designed to be a traffic and parking mitigation measure to help offset the impacts associated with the Global Vascular Institute, Skilled Nursing Facility and future Medical Office Building being constructed on the North End of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. Further, the Planning Board issued a Findings Statement, pursuant to SEQRA, approving the Initial Site Plan Application on September 14, 2010. Now, Applicants propose a minimal amendment to the previously approved Application, which will have no additional affect on environmental impacts and will only serve as a greater offset to the impacts associated with further development of the BNMC. As such, the proposed construction of the MMTS was fully analyzed as part of the Planning Board's SEQRA review and the Planning Board has determined that the Project submitted as part of the 2011 Application is consistent with the analysis and findings of the Planning Board in its original Findings Statement dated January 27, 2009. As set forth in the original Findings Statement, the Applicants will be required to comply with all mitigation measures identified in the original Findings Statement. After evaluating the cumulative environmental, economic, and social impacts of the proposed MMTS, and more specifically, the requested site plan amendment, the City of Buffalo Planning Board is approving the proposed Site Plan Amendment as the feasible, prudent and practicable alternative which best balances environmental impacts with social, economic, and other essential considerations, and that allows for .mitigation of all environmental impacts to the greatest extent reasonable and practicable. Certification to Approve: Having considered the DGEIS, FGEIS, both FEAFs and previous Findings Statements, and having considered the proceedings, facts, and conclusions relied on to meet the requirements of 6 NYCRR Part 617 (State Environmental Quality Review Act [SEQRA]) the Statement of Findings certifies that: 1. The City of Buffalo Planning Board has considered the relevant environmental impacts, facts, and conclusions disclosed in the DGEIS, FGEIS and FEAF and their supporting .materials; 2. The City of Buffalo Planning Board has weighed and balanced the relevant environmental impacts with social, economic, and other considerations; 3. The City of Buffalo Planning Board, has provided a rationale for its decision; 4. The requirements of Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law and the implementing regulations, 6 NYCRR Part 617 (State Environmental Quality Review Act [SEQRAI) have been met; 5. Consistent with social, economic, and other essential considerations from among the reasonable alternatives available, the actions to be carried out are those which avoid or minimize, to the maximum extent practicable, adverse environmental impacts disclosed in the DGEIS, FGEIS and FEAF; and 6. That adverse environmental impacts will be minimized or avoided to the maximum extent practicable by incorporating, as conditions to this decision, those mitigating measures which were identified as practicable in the Planning Board's Findings Statement dated January 27, 2009. Filing: The City of Buffalo Planning Board's designees are hereby directed to file and distribute this Findings Statement as required by Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law and the implementing regulations, 6 NYCRR Part 617 (State Environmental Quality Review Act [SEQRA]). Certification: These findings were adopted by majority vote of the City of Buffalo Planning Board at a duly called meeting held on October 11, 2011.

No. 6 PASSED November 3_ 2011 Strat Plan-Access Req by Praxair to City Owned Property - 90 Hopkins (South) Gerald A Chwalinski City Clerk NOV - 3 2011 1 0 9. # I (Rev. 1193) MULTIPLE PAGE COMMUNICATION TO THE COMMON COUNCIL TO: THE COMMON COUNCIL: DATE: October 25, 2011 FROM: DEPARTMENT: Office of Strategic Planning DIVISION: Real Estate SUBJECT. Access Requested by Praxair to City- owned Property Located at 90 Hopkins Street for Purposes of Environmental Remediation and Continued Monitoring PRIOR COUNCIL REFERENCE: (Item No. 259, C.C.P. 07/20/04, Item No. 6, C.C.P. 12113105, Item No. 5, C.C.P. 10/16/07 and Item No. 6, C.C.P. 10/27/09) Your Honorable Body has previously authorized certain preliminary :measures and actions regarding the approximately 8 acre former industrial property at 90 Hopkins (the "Site ") for site testing, site characterization, grant funding procurement to test and remediate the Site and related actions and measures. The Site was formerly and historically an acetylene gas manufacturing facility and was owned by Linde Air Products Corporation which merged into Union Carbide and was passed down through related/successive entities before the City of Buffalo eventually took title to the Site in 1957 through property tax foreclosure. The acetylene gas manufacturing and related operations formerly conducted at the Site have resulted in approximately 118,000 cubic yards of lime materials being left stockpiled at the Site for a number of years. The lime materials have a relatively high pH content and therefore have a number of potentially beneficial uses. However, the lime material in its current location at 90 Hopkins and in its uncontained current condition poses a potentially continuing deleterious effect on the surrounding properties. The properties surrounding the Site include the "Ramco Landfill /Pond" mitigated wetland -type parcel, the Manilla Street Landfill mitigated wetland -type parcel and the nearby Alltifft Landfill parcel. Appropriate management/containment and eventual removal of the lime materials at and fiom the Site will enhance the overall viability of the Site and the adjoining and nearby parcels. Further, the Site is a key parcel of the South Buffalo Brownfield Opportunity Area and is .centrally located in that overall redevelopment concept. The work and Site review by various City and City OSP staff which was made possible by the above referenced Common Council authorizations have resulted in the City of Buffalo and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation ( "NYSDEC ") concluding that Praxair is a potentially responsible Party ("PRP ") to now responsibly address the lime materials left on the Site by their corporate predecessors Linde Air/Union Carbide. It is also noteworthy as mentioned above that carbide lime types of materials such as those left at the Site have a number d-. of potential beneficial uses including certain uses in agricultural settings to regulate the pH/acidity content in agricultural soils as necessitated by utilization of standard farming fertilization techniques. Lime is often placed on fallow farm fields in the Fall to regulate and address the pH levels typically found in agricultural soils. Praxair, at the urging of the City and the NYSDEC has taken on certain responsibility to contain/manage and remove the lime materials from the Site and is now requesting access agreements /arrangements from the City to allow: 1. Removal by Praxair or its contractors of up to approximately 30 truck loads (approximately 1,000 cubic yards) of lime materials from the Site now for test utilization on certain farmlands to gauge the effectiveness of the lime materials in regulating typical agricultural soils pH levels (Praxair agrees to be responsible for this lime re- utilization and to indemnify the City against liability in connection with the lime re -use), 2. 1rnn:plementation by Praxair or its contractors of NYSDEC approved containment remedial measures now to minimize offsite migration of the lime or lime related storm water /drainage runoff from the Site to adjoining parcels (these measures include a series of silt fences to prevent concentrated flow, a temporary swale to collect water runoff with erosion control matting, dams and grass stabilization so as to effectively and responsibly manage surface water flow over a stabilized area and a temporary crusting cover over the lime such as may be introduced utilizing water solution hydro seeding, 3. Removal over time of all of the lime materials on a schedule and according to a plan and sound methodology to be further developed over the next year or so as between/among the City, the NYSDEC and Praxair. The objective of allowing these access arrangements is to facilitate and implement responsible and sound interim measures to control potential sediment/high pH -laden surface water run -off from the lime material /piles at the Site now while at the same time accommodating expected remedial activities (yet to be fully determined) at the Site. Therefore, any soillearth disturbance and other Site activities will be limited and or specifically tailored to those required for the proper installation and implementation of these measures. The Site is bounded to the north by fonner Colgate Avenue paper street, and the recently remediated former Alltift Landfill /Ramco Steel wetlands. A commercial and private property is situated to the northeast, and a large automotive scrap yard is located to the cast and southeast of the property. An active railroad right-of-way is located immediately adjacent to the southwestern side of the property with the LTV Steel Marilla Street Landfill situated further west. Our department requests permission from your Honorable Body to enter into any necessary access agreements with Praxair and or its contractor in order to facilitate the implementation of the foregoing described activities at the Site. No City funding is being requested as part of this project at this time. Areas of concern to the City which will be addressed in the access agreement(s) are as follows: Adequate insurance coverage and indemnities Assurances of appropriate property restoration/upkeep r Job area safety ® Such other conditions as are requested by the Office of Strategic Planning, The Department of Public Works, Parks & Streets and the Law Department Updates and notification to the City on all relevant remediation and/or monitoring work progress and field and test results. I am recommending that your Honorable Body authorize the Corporation Counsel to prepare the necessary access agreements with periodic updates /modifications thereto between the City of Buffalo and Praxair and /or Praxair's contractor(s) and that the Executive Director of the Office of Strategic Planning or his designee be authorized to execute the same and to take all such other actions as shall be necessary or desirable to facilitate and implement the foregoing objectives to allow removal of up to approximately 30 truckloads of lime materials now for agricultural use testing/effectiveness, installation of the above described containment/remedial measures and removal of the lime materials from the Site.

James A. Lewis, III - Chairman Tony Diina. Warren Glover Joseph Pandolfma The following resolution was introduced: WHEREAS, on September 23, 2011, 134 High Street, LLC and Kaleida Health (collectively "Applicants "), pursuant to x'511 -146 et. seq. of the Charter and Code of the City of Buffalo ( "Code ") and N.Y. General City Law §81 -b, submitted a Letter of Intent ( "LOI "), including Exhibits A -1, to the City of Buffalo Zoning Board of Appeals ( "ZBA "), in furtherance of the Applicants' request for an Area Variance for the proposed height, of the Multi -Modal Transportation Structure ( "MMTS ") project (hereinafter referred to as "Project ") located at the north -west corner of High Street and Michigan Avenue, Buffalo, New York ( "Project Site "); and, WHEREAS the ZBA approved the Applicant's initial request for an Area Variance, of a proposed height of 83' +/- on September 29, 2010; and W HEREAS, the Applicants have provided information in the 1,01, submitted September 23, 2011, supporting the request for the Area Variance for the newly proposed 96' 4" +/A height of the MMTS; and WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on the matter on October 19, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. where the Applicants presented the final design details for the Project; and WH EREA S, the ZBA has fully reviewed and discussed this matter; and WHEREAS the ZBA has, pursuant to Code §511 -146 et. seq. and New York General City Law §81 -b, received and reviewed the Application materials for the Project and after discussing this matter, has decided to approve the requested Area Variance; and WHEREAS, pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act, Article 8 of New York Environmental Conservation Law and 6 NYCRR Part 617 ( "SEQRA "), a governmental agency is required, prior to taking action on an application, to undertake an environmental review of a project to assess whether the action has the potential to have significant adverse z 1192394_1 � 1A, environmental impacts; the Project Sponsors have prepared a Draft Generic Environmental Impact Statement ( "DGEIS ") for the entire North 'End Development on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus; the City of Buffalo Planning Board ( "Planning Board ") as Lead Agency has reviewed the DGEIS and deemed it complete; pursuant to the process set forth in the DGEIS, the Applicants have prepared and submitted to the ZBA as Exhibit "I" of the aforementioned Letter of Intent, a Full Environmental Assessment Form ( "FEAF "), specifically addressing the proposed change in height of the MMTS to assist the ZBA in reviewing the potential impacts of this request; the DGEIS included a specific analysis of the scale and location of the proposed MMTS and the impacts it might have on adjacent uses and ultimately, the Planning Board found that the Project would mitigate the potential negative impacts upon traffic and parking conditions in the vicinity of the Project Site; and WHEREAS, the ZBA has determined that the potential environmental impacts of the Project have been minimized to the greatest extent practicable. Now THEREFORE BE IT RFsoLvED I3Y THE ZONING BOARD Off' APPEALS, pursuant to City Code § 511 -146 et seq. and New York General City Law §81 -b, as follows: 1. The Applicants are seeping an Area Variance for the height of an approximately 2,030 space Multi -Modal Transportation Structure at the northwest corner of High Street and Michigan Avenue. Section 511 -41 of the City Code limits the height of the structure to the distance from the structure to the opposite side of Michigan Avenue (which in this case is 66' to the opposite side of Michigan Avenue) and the proposed height of the MMTS is 96' 4 "±. Thus the Applicants are seeking a height variance of 30' 4 ". 2. That the ZBA has made the following determination with respect to the Applicants' request for an Area (Height) Variance for the Project: a. Given the minimal variance requested (30'4 "), the Urban nature of the Project Site and the adjacent structures, the requested Height Variance will not have an adverse impact upon adjacent properties or the character of the neighborhood; and b. That the only other means by which the Applicants can meet their goal for 2,030 spaces at the Project Site without the requested Variance would be to dramatically increase the footprint of the building or go sub -grade at a substantial cost. Increasing the footprint would also reduce the proposed greenspace, substantially increasing impervious areas and would eliminate the buffering impacts incorporated into the design of the MMTS; and C. That in an Urban setting like the Project Site, the requested 30' 4" Height Variance is not substantial; and 11 M94 1 .t d. That the requested Height Variance will not have an adverse affect or impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood or district since it will reduce the overall footprint of the building, reduce impervious areas and permit significant landscaping; and e. That while the need for the Area Variance may be self-created, the Variance will actually result in a better designed project which minimizes impacts upon adjacent properties. 3. That for the foregoing reasons, the ZBA approves the requested Area (Height) Variance. for the MMTS as approved by the City of Buffalo Planning Board of on October 11, 2011. 4. That this resolution shall be effective immediately. PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City of Buffalo Zoning Board of Appeals on the 19 t11 day of October, 2011. Upon roll call vote: aye's no's [City of Buffalo Zoning Board of Appeals Certification of Votes] REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON :,'° 1192394_1 [i } State Environmental Quality Review Act Findings Statement Findings to Approve Pursuant to Article 8 (State Environmental Quality Review Act - SEQRA) of the Environmental Conservation Law and 6 NYCRR Part 617, the City of Buffalo Zoning Board of Appeals ( "ZBA ") makes the following findings. Name of Action: Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus — North End Development Multi -Modal Transportation Structure Applicants: 134 High Street, LLC and Kaleida Health SEQRA Status: Type 1, Positive Declaration Description of Action: The Applicants are proposing to construct an approximately 2,030 space Multi -Modal Transportation Structure ( "MMTS ") at the north -west corner of High Street and Michigan Avenue, Buffalo, New York. Project Site: 134 High Street, Buffalo, New York Lead Agency: City of Buffalo Planning Board Agency Jurisdiction: Pursuant to §511 -146 of the Charter and Code of the City of Buffalo ( "Code ") and New York General City Law §81 -b, the City of Buffalo ZBA has jurisdiction to consider variances from requirements of the City of Buffalo Zoning Code. Here, the Applicants are seeking an Area Variance from the height limitation found in §511 -41 of the Code. The proposed height of the MMTS is 96' 4 "± and the City of Buffalo Zoning Code limits the height to 66' (based upon the distance from the structure to the opposite side of Michigan Avenue). Date Final Generic Environmental Impact Statement Accepted: Date of Lead Agency's Findings Statement: January 27, 2009 Contact: Brendan Mehaffy City of Buffalo Office of Strategic Planning 901 City Hall January 14, 2009 Buffalo, New York 14202 Phone: (716) 851 -5086 % Facts and Conclusions Relied on to Support the Decision: Kaleida Health, Ciminelli Development and the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus submitted various applications to the City of Buffalo (City) associated with the BNMC -North End Projects. SEQRA requires state or local governments to assess the potential environmental impacts of their actions during the planning, review, and decision - making processes for those actions. The public (City, County and State) approvals and permits required for the individual BNMC — North End Projects constitute the "Action" subject to SEQRA. The intent of SEQRA is to ensure that governmental decision - making is a balance of social, economic, and environmental factors be considered and weighed in reaching decisions on proposed activities or actions. Therefore, Agencies must determine whether a proposed action may have a significant effect on the environment, and if so, prepare or request that an environmental impact statement be prepared. Pursuant to SEQRA, the City of Buffalo Planning Board ( "Planning Board ") determined that the Action was a Type I Action and sought and received concurrence from other Involved and Interested Agencies to be the Lead Agency. Then, on September 23, 2008, the Planning Board determined that cumulatively, the Projects may have a significant impact upon the environment and issued a Positive Declaration, requiring the Project Sponsors to prepare a DGEIS in accordance with the Planning Board - approved Scope. The Project Sponsors prepared and submitted the DGEIS to the Planning Board for review. On October 7, 2008, the Planning Board found the DGEIS to be in compliance with 6 NYCRR Part 617.9(b), and made a determination that it was adequate to begin public and agency review. The DGEIS was provided to all Involved and Interested Agencies, including the ZBA and to the public at various repositories and on the City of Buffalo's website. The subsequent public comment period began on October 7, 2008 and concluded on November 18, 2008. A public hearing on the DGEIS was held at the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library on November 6, 2008. Input from the public review process was received in the form of written comments to the Planning Board throughout the public comment period and as oral /written comments received during the public hearing. The Planning Board determined that all the comments should be addressed in the form of a FGEIS. After reviewing the comments, the Planning Board requested that the Project Sponsors prepare the DGEIS. Pursuant to 6 NYCRR Part 617.9(b)(8), the Planning Board reviewed the FGEIS prepared by the Applicants and determined that the DGEIS was complete on January 13, 2009. On January 15, 2009, the FGEIS was provided to all Involved and Interested Agencies, including the ZBA, and to the public at various repositories and on the City of Buffalo's website. The FGEIS addresses specific substantive comments raised during the public comment period and discusses mitigation measures which should be used to minimize potential negative impacts from the Projects to the maximum extent practicable. Y . The ZBA, as an Involved Agency in this process, received and reviewed all of the documentation cited above. On August 27, 2010, the Applicants submitted a Site Plan. and Area Variance Application ( "Initial Application ") to the City of Buffalo Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals. The Application included a Letter of Intent ( "LOI" ), a Full Environmental Assessment Form ( "FEAF ") and other relevant exhibits to the Zoning Board of Appeals. On September 29, 2010, the ZBA approved the Area Variance portion of the Initial Application, which proposed the MMVITS's then planned height of 83' +1 On September 23, 2011, the Applicants submitted an Application for Site Plan Amendment and Area Variance ( "2011 Application "). The 2011 Application also included a LOI, FEAF and other relevant exhibits. The Applicants are again seeking an Area Variance (for height) to accommodate the slightly modified design of the MMTS. Pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act, Article 8 of New York Environmental Conservation Law and 6 NYCRR Part 617 ( "SEQRA "), a governmental agency is required, prior to taking action on an application, to review the potential environmental impacts of a project to assess whether the action has the potential to have significant adverse environmental impacts. The Project Sponsors prepared a Draft Generic Environmental Impact Statement ( "DGEIS ") and Final Generic Environmental Impact Statement ( "FGEIS ") for the entire North End Development on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. Pursuant to the process set forth in the DGEIS, FGEIS and the Planning Board's Findings Statement, the Applicants prepared and submitted to the ZBA the first FEAF specifically for the construction of the MMTS, and an additional FEAF specifically addressing the addition of one level to the MMTS. These materials were prepared to assist the ZBA in reviewing potential impacts of this Project. The DGEIS and FGEIS also specifically analyzed the potential impacts of a MMTS of this size and at this location and found that the impacts were minimal. In fact, the MMTS is specifically designed to be a traffic and parking mitigation measure to help offset the impacts associated with the Global Vascular Institute, Skilled Nursing Facility and future Medical Office Building being constructed on the North End of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. As such, the proposed construction of the MMTS was fully analyzed as part of the Planning Board's SEQRA review and the ZBA has determined that the Project submitted as part of the 2011 Application is consistent with the analysis and findings of the Planning Board in its original Findings Statement dated January 27, 2009. CONCLUSION After evaluating the cumulative environmental, economic, and social impacts of the proposed MMTS, and more specifically, the requested Area Variance, the City of Buffalo Zoning Board of Appeals is approving the requested Variance to accommodate the proposed design for the MMTS as the feasible, prudent and practicable alternative which best balances environmental impacts with social, economic, and other essential considerations, and that allows for mitigation of all environmental impacts to the greatest extent reasonable and practicable. Certification to Approve: Having considered the DGEIS, FGEIS, both FEAFs and previous Findings Statements, and having considered the proceedings, facts, and conclusions relied on to meet the requirements of 6 NYCRR Part 617 (State Environmental Quality Review Act [SEQRA]) the Statement of Findings certifies that: The City of Buffalo Zoning Board of Appeals has considered the relevant environs - rental impacts, facts, and conclusions disclosed in the DGEIS, FGEIS and FEAF and their supporting materials; 2. The City of Buffalo Zoning Board of Appeals has weighed and balanced the relevant environmental impacts with social, economic, and other considerations; 3. The City of Buffalo Zoning Board of Appeals, has provided a rationale for its decision; 4 The requirements of Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law and the implementing regulations, 6 NYCRR Part 517 (State Environmental Quality Review Act [SEQRA]) have been met; 5. Consistent with social, economic, and other essential considerations from among the reasonable alternatives available, the actions to be carried out are those which avoid or minimize, to the maximum extent practicable, adverse environmental impacts disclosed in the DGEIS, FGEIS and FEAF; and 6. That adverse environmental impacts will be minimized or avoided to the maximum extent practicable by incorporating, as conditions to this decision, those mitigating measures which were identified as practicable in the Planning Board's Findings Statement dated January 27, 2009. Filing; The City of Buffalo Zoning Board of Appeals' designees are hereby directed to file and distribute this Findings Statement as required by Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law and the implementing regulations, 6 NYCRR Part 617 (State Environmental Quality Review Act [SEQRA]). Certification: These findings were adopted by majority vote of the City of Buffalo Zoning Board of Appeals at a duly called meeting held on October 19, 2011.

I drove after turning left from Forest Ave, onto. Richmond Ave, proceeding toward the circle at West Ferry, where I was turning right toward my cleaners on West Ferry, near Grant St. I drove as I always do ,at 30 mph, and clearly stopped as I always do, at every traffic circle, to observe all cars entering, before I proceed on a circle. I entered my right turn onto West Ferry, after signaling my intent, and proceeded, carefully and slowly, due to the downpour of rain. I had to stop, as a garbage truck was blocking the opposite lane at around Shenango Street, as I was cautious, that a car might pull out behind the garbage truck in a dangerous manner into my on coming lane. When it appeared clear, I proceeded west on best Ferry, toward Rotundo Cleaners. Now many minutes had passed ,due to the rain, the garbage truck blockage, when in my rearview mirror, down many blocks now, on West Ferry, I saw the flashing lights of a police car. I attempted to pull to a safe spot beyond the stop sign, but had to stop just at the stop sign, in what I would perceive, a dangerous spot, but I had no choice in the situation. I rolled down the window on the drivers side, and was met by a Buffalo Police officer, who demanded my license, without telling me what was wrong. I had to ask hint two times, before he roughly answered me, that I didn't stop at the circle on West Ferry and Richmond. I was shocked that I was being given a ticket, for something I didn't do, or would ever do, and I stated so. I clearly know I stopped because I had painted out verbally, to my fellow passenger, Joel Standard, that the conservancy, had planted the red mums for the landmark convention, and didn't they look fine, even in the rain.This was done as I stopped at the stop sign. I have been instrumental as an Olmsted Landmark Award recipient in Buffalo, at getting the triangles there, which have been copied in the circles that grew out of this mother project. I nhave bwen a healthy nuisance, pleading , with the Traffic Department, over many years, in addition, for stop signs at all of the circles.All the yield signs, need to become stop signs on all the Olmsted Circles, as people are poorly educated by the signage on how to proceed into and through a traffic circle safely. Perhaps in this Officer's great delay, he tagged the wrong car, for not observing the rules of the West Ferry Circle, and in such poor weather conditions, at the very time I was traveling through this part of my neighborhood. Please look into this matter, and have it be handled in a most fair an equitable way. 'Thank You. 3 f Very 'Truly Yours, Stephanie Berghash [716 239 31931 REFERRED TO TEE SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON POLICE OVERSIGHT October 26, 2011 Hon. Byron W. Brown, Chairman Buffalo Urban Renewal Agency 901 City Fall Buffalo, New York 14202 RE: 50 Court Street Dear Hon. Brown: I am writing to advise you of Statler City, LLC's interest in the future of the BURA owned property located at 50 Court Street. 50 Court Street sits one block from the Statler Building. Revitalization of the Statler building has received extensive positive local, state and national attention. The effort to bring the building back to full productive reuse continues. Disposition of any land by BURA must be dome in accordance with the regulations of HUD and specifically in support to the identified Urban Renewal Plan, It is meant to be used in support to the City's development. 50 Court Street had been removed from BURA's discretion under long committed designated redeveloper rights granted in 2003. That status was conferred on the basis of the developer building a "200,000- 300,000 sq. ft, Class A office building ". The designation was limited to a six month period, Due to numerous extensions granted the developer however, a Land Disposition Agreement (LDA) wasn't finally signed until 2006. That LDA established that the consideration for the land disposition was a commitment to construct an "11 story office building consisting of approximately 885,000 square feet and approximately 138 indoor parking spaces ". The LDA was later amended to allow for a reduction of the commitment to an eight story building of 241,000 sq. ft. plus one level of parking. The use remained as Class A office space. The developer requested and was granted an extension to submit required plans and proof of financing. Under the extension the plans and proof of financing were to be submitted no later than the end of 2009. That to date has still not happened. The LDA had allowed for an additional extension of the agreed to timeframes based on "enforced delays ". However, we are unaware that any "enforced delay in the performance of such obligation due to enforceable b 107 Delaware Avenue Downtown Buffalo, New York 14202 : 716-853 -3300 www.statlercity.com f causes beyond its control" existed as required under section 706 of the Agreement, Therefore all required timeframes have expired and the developer has been in default under the agreement for nearly two years. This LDA, and the amendment in 2009, both were the subject of public hearings and determinations by the Common Council. At no time however since 2003 has any other developer been allowed to fully present an alternative proposal for this parcel. This publicly owned parcel has essentially been the subject of an exclusive option for one favored developer since 2003. BURA made a specific finding that new Class A office space, as proposed by the developer, was required in the City's core when it approved the proposed LDA. The determination that new Class A office space was desirable in the City core may no longer be true nearly 10 years after the original designation. In fact, development of new office space may only cause disruption in the market of currently existing properties struggling to survive. That use designation is the subject of a 30 year covenant under the LDA. Any use other than Class A office space would violate the covenant as approved by the Common Council. Any other use would require a new designated developer process. The City has undertaken a study in conjunction with the Buffalo Niagara Partnership to develop a comprehensive plan for lands in the downtown core. The Buffalo Building Reuse Project's stated goal is to "better match supply (the building /space stock in the downtown) with demand (future tenant heeds) to make downtown more competitive for attracting jobs and investment," It is our belief that study will direct attention to the now vacant HSBC Tower, the soon to be built Class A office space that will house Phillips Lytle on the Erie Canal Harbor Development Corp. property, as well as the renewed interest by the Hamister Group in the Tishman Building at the corner of Main and Broadway. There still remains Class A office space to be occupied in the Avant. All of these require available parking. 50 Court Street has been owned by the Buffalo Urban Renewal Agency since it was obtained from the City of Buffalo on July 2, 1992. It has for a long time been used to supply critical transient parking for the Convention Center and government and business offices in the central core. It is currently operated by SCAR under its management agreement with the City of Buffalo. This parcel, far from being underutilized vacant land, serves a critical function providing transient parking while generating significant revenue for the City. We believe the 50 Court street property is a vital strategic parking parcel. In addition to the Statler, parking at 50 Court Street serves the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center as well as the Main Place Mall and government buildings. Statler City, LLC currently has sufficient parking available for the needs of the Statler building. However, as the Statler is taken to higher 0 0 \--R productive use, we will be taking those parking spots out of the market to meet our specific needs, This will have a ripple effect on the other investments in the Downtown core including the Avant, New Era, the new Federal Courthouse and the soon to be renovated Curtiss Hotel. As your parking experts understand, any change in parking capacity has a ripple effect as people move in a slightly unpredictable patterns. Removing parking from one area pussies parkers in different directions causing shortages in areas further away. We acknowledge that others, including the current "designated redeveloper ", may have legitimate alternative plans for redevelopment of the 50 Court Street site. As such, and in recognition of the changing situation in the core, we urge BURA to terminate the existing LDA based on the long standing default of the developer and issue a request for proposals so that a fresh and appropriate look can be taken at how BURA's property can best be used to serve all of the citizens of Buffalo as intended. We hope that BURA will require that the parcel be the subject of a proper public process to determine its future before taking any steps to further commit the parcel. Sincerely, cl Mark D.

In those twenty years, I have been fortunate to put myself through college, buy a home in Buffalo and am now raising my young family with my wife in the city. Currently, I have three city issued food permits, two are in. the Chippewa Entertainment district and one is on High and Ellicott Street, across from Buffalo General Hospital. Last month, on Thursday, September I'`, Whole I Food Truck set up illegally clown the street on Ellicott and Goodrich Street and took away fifty percent of my business that day. The food truck came back the next day. I informed the two employees working the truck that I spoke to the city license department the day before, and the license departiireiit informed me that no food truck has the authority to be there at that location (Ellicott and Goodrich). The truck continued to stay there. The food truck was shirt down later in the afternoon by medical campus authorities. By then, it was well after 1 pm and a good percentage of my business was taken away again. There was actually a third incident at the same location in whieh a food truck set up on Thursday, September 8 "', only to be shut down by Kaleida police and the food truck was told they were unauthorized to be there. I was unable to identify the food truck because they were there for such a short time. I spoke to both Pat Sole, head of Buffalo City License Department, and Morgan Smith, a representative at- B-uffalo_Place, who._is- in charge of the Vending Program- in downtown. I spore at length to each of theta, individually, about my concerns, such as loss of revenue and unfair business practices by the food trucks. They both told me the fend trucks were unauthorized to be at Ellicott airid Goodrich and they understood my concerns. In the twenty years I have been running my food cart, I have always had specific permits issued by the city for specific locations, not to be able to move where I please, even though I too operate on wheels. I do not have anything against the food trucks or any other business willing to work hard to prosper. However, I do feel in the name of fairness, food trucks should be j assigned specific locations that do not strongly affect surrounding businesses and abide by the same rules we current vendors -must abide by. There has been talk of a restriction that rood trucks must be 100 feet from tither similar businesses, clearly my business was adversely affected by the truck being 250 feet from my business. Also, there has been talk that food trucks would be allowed to enter the Chippewa Entertainment District, an area I have had two city issued permits for over ten years, and this too concerns me greatly. I question the fairness of this possible proposal. In closing, I am requesting the council members and all involved parties require food trucks to have the same permit restrictions and licensing procedures that the current food vendors have been a biding b y fo the twenty years I have been in business.

( "ALDI ") in connection with its pending application for a ground sign currently under consideration by the Legislation Committee of the Common Council. By way of quick review, as you know, this project has been the subject of numerous public meetings and extensive discussion with community members and City officials. On September S, 2011, the Planning Board granted final site plan approval for the proposed store. The sole matter now before the Legislation Committee is ALDI's pending application for a ground sign. A copy of ALDI's sign schematic is attached for your reference. On September 27, 2011, during its second meeting on this matter, the Legislative Committee tabled ALDI's ground sign application with a request that ALDI make a representative available to discuss the location of the building as shown in the approved site plan. While this design issue has received final approval from the Planning Board and is beyond the scope of ALDI's pending; ground sign application, as a courtesy, Lewis Kibling, ALDI's Real Estate Representative, has traveled to Buffalo in response to this request. As Mr. Kibling will tell you, ALDI decided to invest in the location at 998 Broadway based Ripon a careful consideration of all relevant factors in light of ALDI's business model. One important factor was the existing zoning requirements for this location. ALDI therefore developed a site plan in cooperation with the Planning Board and other City officials www,jaeckle,com Hon. Joseph Golombek, Jr. October 25, 2011 Page 2 that meets all applicable requirements. ALDI also endeavored to accommodate concerns expressed by the community to the extent practicable. While not relevant to ALDI's pending ground sign application, ALDI has compromised from its site plan design in numerous respects: building moved 23.5 feet closer to Broadway despite irregular shape of parcel and right-of-way reduced size of front parking lot larger sidewalk provides pedestrian friendly access from Gibson Street and at Broadway enhanced green space park benches bike rack enhanced architectural features on some exterior walls The Planning Board ultimately determined, and ALDI believes, that the approved site plan balances the needs of both pedestrian and vehicular traffic in a manner that is reasonable and respectful to the community, ALDI and its engineering consultant, Chris lumbar, have Further advised that safety is a big factor in the site plan design. The layout maximizes pedestrian safety for customers walking from the parking lot opposite the truck well. ALDI respects and is mindful of the historical and cultural legacy of the Broadway- Fill more area. ALDI expects that the new store will: be a catalyst for a fragile neighborhood with a shrinking population. create new employment opportunities bring more people into the Broadway- Fil]more community send a positive message to other investors From a design perspective, the new ALDI store will vastly improve the existing streetscape which for decades has been marked by a long - dormant, large parking lot associated with the former K -Mart set much further back from the street. For these reasons, ALDI is anxious to begin work on this important project in the community. Again, the Planning Board granted final site plan approval for the store on September 8, 2011, The Planning Board's decision was based upon its determination that the site plan meets all applicable City zoning code criteria in a manner that is respectful of the community's concerns. ALDI's pending ground sign application likewise meets all relevant criteria in Chapter 511, Article XX and Chapter 387, Article 1, as determined by the Planning Board. Hon. Joseph Golombek, Jr. October 25, 2011 Page 3 For the foregoing reasons, ALDI respectfully requests that the Legislative Committee recommend approval of ALDI's s ground sign application. To proceed otherwise based upon site plan considerations at this point would be unfair, undermine the City permitting process and unlawful.

Although the annual In Rem foreclosure proceedings are necessary for the City of Buffalo to recoup lost tax revenue and transfer dilapidated buildings to new owners or the demolition list, the foreclosure process imposes high costs on Buffalo's most vulnerable citizens. We should assist the poor, elderly, and disabled who need to stay in their homes but struggle with low - incomes, medical hardships, and other difficulties caused by living in poverty. The current system has not proven to be effective at stemming the epidemic of housing abandonment and blight nor has it proven to support the housing needs of our elderly, disabled, and low - income citizens. Therefore, we urge the Common Council to amend Article 28 of the City of Buffalo Charter authorizing the creation of a Property Tax Hardship Assistance Program with the following guidelines: Eligibility a Income at or below 200% of the federal Poverty Income Guidelines 0 Owner- occupied 1-4 family residential properties only Owner must not owe delinquent taxes on other properties Owner must not be in default on a previous repayment plan Benefits * Repayment plan for taxes, fees, and other delinquent charges can extend for up to two years, and no foreclosure proceeding will be brought during this time. ® Delinquent taxes, fees, and other charges do not accrue interest or penalties during the repayment plan and no In Rem fee will be added to the account * Initial down payment can range from 0% - 25% of amount owed based on affordability Agencies that already administer City programs, such as the minor home repair program,, can administer the Property Tax Hardship Assistance.Program.

Attachments: lMG00120Jpg Honorable Councilmen: As Administrative Judge of the 8th Judicial District I have received complaints about the bail bondsmen doing business from their well advertised vehicles in front of 50 Delaware Ave. There are usually at least 2 vehicles there and people complain about the fights as well as their parking there and doing business from the vehicles all day long. It is not court property. Our security team checked with the parking bureau at city hall and they were told that as long as they pay for parking, the parking bureau has no issues. (Even though it is 2 hours parking and they are there all day). They also checked with the city's permit bureau. They explained that Bondsmen were operating a business out of their vehicle on the public street and asked if they needed a permit to do so. The permit bureau said that they did not need a permit and were not under their jurisdiction. Attached is a picture of a vehicle in front of the building. that can be operated out of vehicles in the city of Buffalo.

Assistance Program to benefit low - income homeowners with delinquent property taxes and fees. Although the annual In Reza foreclosure proceedings are necessary for the City of Buffalo to recoup lost tax revenue and transfer dilapidated buildings to new owners or the demolition list, the foreclosure process imposes high costs on Buffalo's most vulnerable citizens. We should assist the poor, elderly, and disabled who need to stay in their homes but struggle with low - incomes, medical hardships, and other difficulties caused by living in poverty. The current system has not proven to be effective at stemming the epidemic of housing abandonment and blight nor has it proven to support the housing needs of our elderly, disabled, and low - income citizens. Therefore, we urge the Common Council to amend Article 28 of the City of Buffalo Charter authorizing the creation of a Property Tax Hardship Assistance Program with the following guidelines: Eligi� 0 Income at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Income Guidelines W Owner - occupied 1 -4 family residential properties only .. .... _ . a, _ Owner must not owe delinquent taxes on other properties a Owner must not be in default on a previous repayment plan Benefits Repayment plan for taxes, fees, and other delinquent charges can extend for up to two years, and no foreclosure proceeding will be brought during this tithe.

Vehicle Vendors Dear Councilman Golombek: ENTAIL: STENGO@ROADRUNNER.COM As you are aware, the undersigned is counsel for the Western New York Food Truck Association ( "WNYFTA "). In furtherance of the public Legislation Committee hearing held on Tuesday, October 25, 2011, and the ensuing meeting in your offices thereafter, enclosed please find a copy of the newly revised Proposed Ordinance Amendment for Chapter 316 of the Buffalo City Code, Article IX: Mobile Food Vehicle Vendors ( §§ 316 -50 --- 316 -57), submitted on behalf of the WNYFTA for consideration by the Legislation Committee. This proposed legislation., and a copy of this cover letter, have been filed with the office of the Buffalo City Clerk in order that the entire Common Council can consider this proposal at its next meeting of November 1, 2011. The meeting held in your offices on October 25, 2011 was attended by yourself, Timothy Ball (Assistant Corporation Counsel for the City of Buffalo), Patrick Sole, Jr. (Director of the Department of Economic Development, Permits and Inspection Services) and attorney Michael Kooshoian (representing the "Brick and Mortar" [B &M] owners /restaurants known as the "Entrepreneurs for a Better Buffalo "). Kindly allow this correspondence to highlight some of the revisions (which are italicized) to the original August 2011 proposal and the provisions of this submitted proposal. 31650 DEFINITIONS Pursuant to the concerns of yourself, Mr. Ball and Mr. Sole, we have reverted to the definitions as set forth in the original August 2011 proposal, providing that a Mobile Food Vehicle ( "MFV ") is a "self-contained motorized" vehicle. As such, the legislation applies to a MFV that has its Joseph Golombek, Jr. October 27, 2011 Page 2 own motor, and therefore does not apply to food trailers (i.e., towed by an independent vehicle) and /or push/pull carts (such as those traditionally operated by hot dog vendors). 316 -51 RESTRICTIONS We have retained the provision (B) providing that this regulation floes not apply to the Special Downtown Vending District, as that area is governed by the rules and regulations promulgated by the quasi - public /private Board of Buffalo Place. We have redefined and expanded the proximity restrictions to a "100 foot radius" from a restaurant's main entrance; by operation, this constitutes a proscribed distance of 200 feet (100 feet in each direction), precluding any MFV from operating near an open kitchen. You will recall the testimony of Christina Walsh, of the Institute for Justice, who opined that such a proximity restriction is, in her view, excessive and not in the MFVs' best interests; moreover, thirty of the nation's fifty largest cities operate with no such proximity restriction whatsoever. However, the WNYFTA has proposed the 100 foot radius restriction in an abundant effort to address the concerns of B &M restaurateurs. The WNYFTA will not voluntarily consent to any distance restriction beyond those proposed herein, nor any other further proximity restrictions or designated areas of operation, as such would likely constitute unreasonable and unconstitutional restrictions upon the food truck industry and its ability to operate in the City of Buffalo. This section also includes a new provision (D) that requires each MFV to be equipped with a "measuring wheel" (easily purchased from any hardware store) so that this proximity restriction (100 foot radius from open restaurants; 500 foot distance lioxn festivals) can be readily measured and, moreover, easily enforced. 316 -55 The revised proposal requires that all MFVVs must comply with each and every provision as set forth in the New York State Sanitary Code Sub -fart 14-4, in order to protect the health and safety of MFV patrons and the public. Moreover, pursuant to your suggestion, this Section includes a new provision (D) of a "three- strike" rule for any MFV found to be in violation of any provision of this ordinance within one year from issuance of the MFV license. 316 -57 SUNSET PROVISION The Sunset Provision has been amended to run for a full year f-om the operative date of any new ordinance so that the Common Council and all parties with a vested interest in these issues, including the public at large, can evaluate the effectiveness of any such legislation over the course of four seasons and one calendar year. Joseph Golombek, Jr. October 27, 2011 Page 3 CONCLUSION The WNYFTA believes that this revised Article IX, "Mobile Food Vehicle Vendors ", represents proposed legislation that reflects the good faith bargaining as between members of the committees of both the WNYFTA and the Entrepreneurs for a Better Buffalo. The proposed legislation also incorporates the suggestions and recommendations of several City officials including, but not limited to, the members of the Common Council and the Offices of the Corporation Counsel and Department of Permits and Inspection Services. The WNYFTA maintains that this proposed legislation also contains several restrictions upon the operation of MFVs, in particular the proximity restriction of a 100 foot radius from any restaurant kitchen, and 500 feet from any festival or special event, which are substantial in operation and provide reasonable protection for B&M establishments and the concerns these business owners have expressed throughout this process. Moreover, given the proposed one -year "Sunset Provision", it is unnecessary and unreasonable to further restrict the operation of MFVs beyond the already restrictive provisions contained herein. Rather, the Common Council and all parties with vested interests in these issues, including the public at large, should be afforded a year to evaluate the effectiveness and operation of this proposed legislation once it is approved. Thank you for your kind attention herein, and for the assistance of your staff, especially Senior Legislative Assistant Mark Jaskula, in bringing the parties together to have a discourse and conduct public hearings on these issues. The WNYFTA is confident that its members can and will be given a full opportunity to ply their food truck trade within the City of Buffalo by adhering to the provisions and restrictions set forth in this proposed legislation.

Dear Council Members, Golombe Ord Amend -Ch 316 Peddling and Entrepreneurs for a Better Buffalo supports vending as an entrepreneurial business opportunity and a complement to the vibrant Buffalo food scene. We believe that mobile food vendors should be here to offer more creative choices and value to consumers, While some of us are already vendors, some seek to become mobile truck vendors and many are traditional restaurants who wish to continue as successful members of Buffalo's business community. As small business owners we are stakeholders in the City, we have knowledge of the local markets based on our experience and success, and after decades of hard work and contribution we Know the issues that face our neighborhoods. Mobile food truck vending laws and regulations, including tax assessments, are ripe for updating from the ice cream truck model to the social media driven, culinary experience model. Issues related to mobile vending such as food, fire, and traffic safety, as well as tax parity and effects on orderly pedestrian traffic, have to be properly considered. Different areas of the City face different issues with regard to overdevelopment and public health and safety. The Elmwood Avenue and Hertel Avenue neighborhoods contain mixed use areas occupied by retail businesses, restaurants, taverns, sidewalk cafes, bus routes, delivery trucks, motor vehicle traffic, bicyclists, pedestrians, and L � One Franklin Court ®181 Franklin Street - Buffalo, New York 14202 -2448 Voice: 716,855.3761 - Fax: 716.855.3437 (not for service of process) d. , children. Issues facing these areas include congestion, traffic safety, emergency vehicle access, higher property taxes, parking, privacy of the residents, refuse, crime, noise, odors and more. Issues with congestion are magnified by snow accumulation and City plows in the winter months. Elmwood Avenue and Hertel Avenue are the two most heavily trafficked and densely populated retail areas in the City. Life the downtown business district they have created heavy foot and motor vehicle traffic. Unlike the downtown business district, the traffic in these neighborhoods does not end at 5:00 pm on weekdays and the traffic does not end on weekends. The viability and success of the businesses on these streets depends on many factors including visibility from the street, available on- street parking, safety of consumers, aesthetics of the neighborhood and strong community relations. Because of the unique interplay of all of these factors, we recommend that the Council pass a mobile truck vending law based in transparency and predictability for these neighborhoods in a way that will continue to maximize on- street parking and not interfere with the unique pedestrian, bicycle and vehicle traffic that is present already. The current proposal before the Council does not adequately take the above concerns into consideration. Randomly parking trucks large enough to occupy multiple fifteen foot metered parking spaces in the public right of way in these areas along with individuals employing the use of 500 foot measuring wheels in the midst of this congestion is not a well thought out solution to the issues presented by mobile truck vending in these neighborhoods. Of the fifty largest cities with mobile truck vending laws, only one uses solely a proximity ban. Of these fifty cities, fifteen cities employ a combination of a proximity ban and restricted areas. We propose a combination of a proximity ban, based upon the legislation under consideration, with the addition of an Elmwood Avenue Vending District and a Hertel Avenue Vending District. A special downtown vending district is already established in which the downtown property owners control vending sites near their property. In these two new vending districts we propose to allow vending from city owned public parking lots in the area. We hope this proposal can be a template for similar neighborhoods. Mobile food trucks will have access to their customers in these neighborhoods and their customers will have access to them. They will be able to remain mobile as they travel from location to location throughout the day and employ the use of social media to inform customers of their presence. This will not add cumbersome permits or any extra fees. This will enhance safety in the neighborhoods and prevent crime by bringing eyes from pedestrian traffic to less heavily trafficked areas. The districts and the reasoning for the districts are modeled on the zoning laws already in existence and upon the legislative intent already placed into the City Code and recognized by the Common Council. In light of Mayor gown's recent publication of Buffalo's Greencode, it appears Y� C.. a more long term solution to the mobile vending issue should arrive shortly with the rewriting of the City's zoning laws based upon a thorough block by Flock study of our City that is well underway. That is why we propose to sunset the legislation for one year so that adjustments to the law can be made in an informed manner, everyone's input may be considered, and mobile food trucks may be more fully integrated into our neighborhoods in a safe and productive manner. Other issues that may need to be addressed by the Council include the size and appearance of the trucks. We have also added a provision that includes other stationary food vendors and elementary and secondary schools. Our proposed revocation period is based upon the City's current vending law. With regard to the proximity ban section proposed already, we would recommend that any proximity ban be measured from the property line of the building that encloses the open kitchen to avoid confusion. Today we submit our proposal for discussion by the Common Council. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. Very truly yours, F Michael H.

New stadiums are being planned or talked about in Minnesota and Los Angeles, even though LA does not have an NFL team; and Whereas: The City of Buffalo has seen an upswing in downtown development recently, including the Canal Harbor, the Buffalo/Niagara Medical Campus, the conversion of the Avant, the redevelopment of the former Lafayette Hotel and Statler and the conversion of numerous long - vacant buildings into lofts and condos; and Whereas: The Buffalo Bills lease with Erie County is set to expire after the 2012 season and Ralph Wilson Stadium will need extensive improvements to keep the facility viable and competitive and help to ensure that the Bills have a long -term future in Western New York; and Whereas: The stadium was built in 1973 and was last renovated in 1997, when approximately $63 million in improvements were made to the facility; and Whereas: The Buffalo Bills have recently announced the hiring of the architectural firm Populous to begin a thorough study of improvements needed at the stadium to bring it up to today's standards; and Whereas: Early estimates of upgrades are expected to be $60 -$100 million or more. The team has publicly stated that they would be willing to sign a restrictive lease tying the Bills to Western. New York if a satisfactory agreement can be reached with New York State and Erie County; and Whereas: The vast majority of funding for the stadium improvements and upgrades is expected to come from New York State. The team has made serious attempts to find additional revenue streams by regionalizing into the Rochester, Syracuse and Southern Ontario markets; and Whereas: A new stadium in downtown Buffalo, with a long -term lease may be the best solution to keeping the team in Western New York for many years to come and would be a major piece in the continuing economic revival of downtown and the City of Buffalo; Now Therefore be it Resolved: That the Common Council of the City of Buffalo supports keeping the Buffalo Bills in Western New York; and Be it Further Resolved; That the option of building a new stadium in dovNNntown Buffalo be explored and considered before any decision on improvements to the current stadium are finalized; and Be it Finally Resolved: That the City Clerk send certified copies of this resolution to the Buffalo Bills, New York State Governor Cuomo, New York State Senators Schumer and Gillibrand, the New York State Empire State Development Corporation, the Western New York delegation, the Erie Executive and NFL Commissioner Goodell for their comments.
