from our driveway and curtilage. | have told the Gilbertson’s they are trespassing by taking a strip of our
driveway. It is evident they never read the 1949 plat ordinance. They only listened to the building
inspector instructions. Since | do not have the authority, they do not believe me. The city needs to senda
letter to the Gilbertsons explaining their 1971 building permit should have had the actual dimensions of 51
feet. Anything more than that is trespassing. Thus the fence, etc., should be removed soon.
Sir George Peter Knight
| represent chendie bracelets. I’m here to talk you about a few key points on what | feel we should be
spending our government funds on in this town. First our sidewalks is about safety. Our sidewalks should
be fenced in. | was at Hampton Beach and | saw a gentleman crossing on the crosswalk and get struck by
a car. The gentleman was going about 35 mph. Hampton Beach is a party area. He wasn’t looking and
the guy got a concussion. In our town in Nashua, which | did just legally move here about two months, we
should invest in sidewalks that have fenced in areas. We should make it as though the fence was as high
as the tallest person, which would make sense. We should also invest in crossing guards to assist people
with crossing. The lighting in this town, | feel like in the night, obviously my name is “Knight”, when our
citizens and patrons are walking and conducting their normal activity they are walking in the town. IN the
nighttime people can get mugged, robbed. They could use track of their personal belongings and not find
them because of the night. | did hear about the LED lights and how you spent money on that and that is
great. | want to mention solar. We all know solar is free, the sun is free. We can use it; it’s our habitat.
We can use the water, we can use the sun. We can use anything that gets naturally replenished. This is
what | feel is our biggest asset, using things that are natural and can revitalizing our community. Solar
lights, solar panels, | was in New York three months ago. Time Square is huge. It was lit up. | was
walking in Time Square and said | have to mention this at the next meeting. If I’m walking in this town and
| can see at 3 o’clock in the morning in New York, this is something that is good. The solar panels will light
up the whole community. They are inexpensive. When you are parking and driving your car on the side of
the road. On the actual Main Street, the side of the road has a curb that stands up flat. I’m popping my
tire, I'm scuffing my tire. Why are we doing this? We're scuffing the tire because we designed a curb
vertical. Our curbs should be diagonal, to the ground up. That’s the biggest thing. The main thing is we
should have a way of safeguarding our kids. Our kids are going to school and they are reading their
books. A bullet travels at 2000 yards. We should be able to have a way of safeguarding the kids. Our
schools should have bulletproof glass. Thank you so much.
REMARKS BY THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN
Alderman Lopez
For Mr. Teeboom’s awareness, | didn’t receive an invitation to the Holocaust upgrade, but | was actually
in the park a couple days ago looking at the lights. It’s definitely an improvement. | would encourage
any member of the public who has the chance; it’s across from Shaw's, next to Rotary Common. It’s a
really nice space; it’s really well designed. If definitely an area that’s worth reflecting on. | also wanted to
complement Alderman Siegel on his focus tonight. He was trying to, in my mind, address a very
important need. He was trying to do it while balancing a lot of other opinions. | think he did a great job. |
think he did it with a lot of dignity, and | appreciated the effort.
Alderman O’Brien
I'll second what my friend, Alderman Lopez, said about Alderman Siegel. | said it earlier, but again a
very tough issue. We’re going to face it again. It will be interesting to watch the $2 million. | appreciate
your attempt to try to make it less painless for the taxpayers at this time.
