Council Member Avilés questions the applicant team about their engagement with neighboring properties regarding the 150 Mill Street project. The applicant, Willy Pilku, provides information about their outreach efforts.

  • Pilku claims to have spoken with the immediate neighbor on Hamilton Avenue (an air conditioning company)
  • He mentions discussing with a sanitation business owner to the rear of the property
  • Pilku also references a gas station and car wash owner nearby
  • Avilés expresses concern about the lack of engagement with other adjacent properties, particularly a school
  • The discussion reveals that the applicant team's engagement with neighboring properties has been limited and potentially incomplete
Willy Pilku
0:48:35
Yes.
0:48:35
I've had conversations with the neighboring properties.
Alexa Avilés
0:48:37
Can you tell me who you'd spoke to and when?
Willy Pilku
0:48:41
Sure.
0:48:42
I've spoken to the immediate neighbor on Hamilton Avenue.
Alexa Avilés
0:48:46
Who is that?
Willy Pilku
0:48:48
It's the building that has the pizza model.
Alexa Avilés
0:48:52
And
Willy Pilku
0:48:56
He has an air conditioning company, and he didn't have much to say about it.
0:49:01
The his own property has been in their family for over 4 decades.
0:49:06
So he showed no interest in, like, you know, let's say, for an example, tearing down his building and building up anything there.
Alexa Avilés
0:49:15
Anyone else?
Willy Pilku
0:49:17
Yeah.
0:49:17
If I've spoken with the neighbor in the rear, it's sanitation, They do garbage removals.
Francis Brown
0:49:26
Mhmm.
Willy Pilku
0:49:28
He's actually interested in staying as his sanity.
0:49:32
He's been in the sanitation business for at least 30 years, so he needs that location for his own sanitation business, where he is.
Alexa Avilés
0:49:42
Anyone else?
Willy Pilku
0:49:44
There's only 2 additional neighbors.
0:49:47
1 is a gas station that's been gas station for many long times.
0:49:50
They own the car wash that's connected to the gas station.
0:49:54
They've been there forever.
0:49:56
I guess they're doing good.
0:49:58
Fuel prices are high, so and then you have left just another construction guy.
0:50:06
Which, you know, they're just waiting to see what happens.
