b. Future Planning Calendar Chair Ritter: Chabad /Masons? Weinstein: So ignore that for the time being. Commissioner Balch: Can you tell us where that escrow is? Weinstein: So it's apparently in escrow and we heard that it'll be wrapped up at the end of August, but take it with a grain of salt. But related to that, your decision on the Masonic Lodge and the dispute with the Millers was appealed to the City Council and that will be heard probably on August 16th, but I know that date is a bit up in the air. It will be pushed beyond that it seems like from Gerry, but it's an appeal that will be going to the City Council in the future by the Masons. Commissioner Balch: I should have mentioned it back at the beginning of the meeting when we were talking about the minutes, but one of the things I asked Julie after was, you know, when I read the minutes, I kind of reconciled the minutes to the notes I had taken on my copy of the agenda and it was very difficult. In the future, I think we should try to do a little bit better to help them along with the revised resolution. You know, when we read the minutes, you see, okay, Line 26 out, Line 27 in, line.... it wasn't ... we didn't make easy work for them and we could have done better. I could have done better and I apologize. Weinstein: Actually I think you guys did pretty well. We went condition by condition and revised each condition. I think what will be helpful and we can send this out to you are the actual revised conditions that were sent to the Millers and to the Masons and attached to the resolution so you can see the changes that were actually made because I actually think you guys did a really good job in helping us craft the language. I mean, it took a long time, but the outcome was good. I think we had really solid direction on the specific wording for each of the conditions we wanted to change. Chair Ritter: What we learned from that though is just starting with the conditions and going down the line and if there are any changes after we do the discussion and before we make the motion. We learned a lot from that. It would have saved about 20 pages. Weinstein: So I just want to flag two upcoming items on the upcoming meeting calendar. The first is, at the next meeting on the 27` , the 536 St. John Street/Peters Avenue project is coming back. We did a workshop on that. That's Peters and St. John's essentially and 10 townhouses and preservation of the existing historic building on the site. So that will be back on the 27th and then it looks like Irby is coming on August 10. Commissioner Nagler: They're keeping the historic building on the site now? Weinstein: That's right. They cut two units off so it used to be 12 new residential units. They cut two of those out of the project and they're keeping the historic building on the site, but they're moving it to the western -most part of the site as opposed down Pleasanton Avenue.
