CITY COUNCIL MEETING October 14, 2014 Page 196 Mayor Nelson CITY COUNCIL MEETING October 14, 2014 Page 196 Mayor Nelson called the meeting to order and asked the Clerk to call the roll: PRESENT: Mayor Nelson, Councillors Ashley, Hosmer, Mitchell, Morley, Skamperle and Stevenson ABSENT: None PRESENTATION 1. Michele Montroy of United Helpers addressed Council regarding the Mosaic Community Project. Ms. Montroy explained that the group painted the bleachers and dugouts at Montroy Park. Mayor Nelson thanked United Helpers for being part of our community for 116 years. City Manager John Pinkerton thanked the group for their work in the community. PUBLIC HEARING 1. A public hearing regarding a proposed amendment to the Official City Map (deleting a portion of unnamed paper street between Plover Hill Avenue and paper Rosseel Street) was held. No one being present to speak, the hearing was declared closed. 2. A public hearing regarding an ordinance to name 7 unnamed City lanes was held. No one being present to speak, the hearing was declared closed. 3. A public hearing regarding an amendment to Chapter 189 of the Ogdensburg Municipal Code entitled “Streets and Sidewalks” was held. No one being present to speak, the hearing was declared closed. 4. A public hearing regarding an amendment to Chapter 221 of the City’s Zoning Ordinance (add Adaptive Reuse District) was held. CITY COUNCIL MEETING October 14, 2014 Page 197 Director of Planning & Development Andrea Smith provided an overview of the proposed changes. Ms. Smith explained the Adaptive Reuse District (ARD) was developed by the Planning Board. Ms. Smith said this proposed change would affect approximately thirty six parcels in the City. Ms. Smith recommended the proposed district be adopted. Ms. Smith explained parcels less than two acres are challenging to develop, but if a parcel is two acres or more the owner can apply for a Planned Development District. Ms. Smith explained the process begins with a public hearing followed by a site plan review. Ms. Smith said all neighbors located within 300 feet are notified of the potential redevelopment of the parcel. Ms. Smith explained the request can be approved, approved with conditions or denied. Councillor Morley asked if voting on this amendment applies to all thirty six parcels, and Ms. Smith said yes. Councillor Morley said he would like to see a case by case evaluation of the parcels. Ms. Smith explained the Planning Board cannot support spot zoning. Ms. Smith said the Planning Board has been conducting a comprehensive review of this matter for over two years. Councillor Ashley asked if there are more hurdles to clear once the zoning has been changed. Ms. Smith said creating the district is just the initial stage of the process. The following people spoke against the amendment: • Patrick Woods, 515 Judson Street • Carol Shaver, 1610 Lafayette Street • Dan Greene, 625 Rosseel Street • Terry Shaver, 1610 Lafayette Street • Charles Shaver, 603 Rosseel Street • Kendra Moran, 725 Caroline Street • Marci O’Neil, 411 Jay Street • Jeff Piercey, 1407 Knox Street • Kevin Reed, 626 Franklin Street • Torey Baker (no address given) • Kenny Moore, Route 37 CITY COUNCIL MEETING October 14, 2014 Page 198 The following people spoke in favor of the amendment: • Diane Cardinal, 220 Tate Street • Jim McCarthy, 1800 Jay Street • Cassie Pharoah, (no address given) • Terri Langenmayer, 322 Elizabeth Street • Michael Spillman, 228 Franklin Street • Connie Shannon-Harrow, 510 Irvin Street • Becky Rollin, 919 Lafayette Street • Paul Horkins, 462 Gilmour Road • Dora Pearson, 318 King Street • Henrietta Hall, 8 Lisbon Street, Heuvelton • Carla Marianus (no address given) • Zeb Horn, 462 Gilmour Road • Barbara Ward, Route 37 • Roberta Haggerty, 1001 State Street Charles Kelly, 818 Greene Street said he has no position on this issue. Mr. Kelly explained we need to find a way to solve this problem and keep our community together. Mr. Kelly urged Council not to vote on this proposal tonight. Mr. Kelly said we need to make compromises, shake hands and be friendly. With no one else being present to speak, the hearing was declared closed. 5. A public hearing regarding an amendment to add Chapter 38 entitled “Joint Planning and Zoning Commission” to the Code of the City of Ogdensburg was held. No one being present to speak, the hearing was declared closed. 6. A public hearing regarding the sale of City-owned property located at 1313 Ford Street was held. CITY COUNCIL MEETING October 14, 2014 Page 199 Debra Kench, 1016 Congress Street asked why sealed bids were taken if the property will now be sold at public auction. City Manager John Pinkerton explained because more than one adjacent property owner expressed an interest in the parcel, he felt it would only be fair to hold a public auction. No one else being present to speak, the hearing was declared closed. CONSENT AGENDA Mayor Nelson moved that the claims as enumerated in General Fund Warrant #17-2014 in the amount of $1,015,528.75 and Library Fund Warrant #17- 2014 in the amount of $59,890.17 and Capital Fund Warrant #17-2014 in the amount of $170,329.20 and Community Development Fund Warrant #17-2014 in the amount of $24,570.00 and Community Renewal Fund Warrant #17-2014 in the amount of $15,624.00 and NSP Funds Warrant #17-2014 in the amount of $0.00 as audited, be and the same are ordered paid and Councillor Morley seconded the motion. The vote was: CARRIED, AYES ALL ITEMS FOR COUNCIL ACTION 1. Councillor Stevenson moved an ordinance to amend the Official City Map (deleting a portion of unnamed paper street between Plover Hill Avenue and paper Rosseel Street), and Councillor Skamperle seconded to wit: RESOLUTION TO AMEND OFFICIAL CITY MAP WHEREAS, the City desires to amend the Official City Map of the City of Ogdensburg by deleting the following: that portion of unnamed paper street between the Plover Hill Avenue and paper Rosseel Street to allow for area redevelopment, CITY COUNCIL MEETING October 14, 2014 Page 200 WHEREAS, public notice and public hearing on the proposed changes to the Official Map have been filed and held per Section 29 of General City Law; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Ogdensburg City Council hereby amends the Official City Map of the City of Ogdensburg with the following changes: Deletion of that portion of unnamed paper street between Plover Hill Avenue and paper Rosseel Street. Councillor Morley said he would prefer to see six parcels established and he will not support this ordinance. Councillor Ashley asked for the size of the lot. Code Enforcement Officer Gregg Mallette said the lot is 280’ x 280’. Mr. Mallette distributed a map for Council to review and explained the proposed redevelopment. Councillor Skamperle asked if anyone is interested in the parcels. City Manager John Pinkerton said not at this time. Mayor Nelson said Council instructed City staff to market the property. Councillor Morley urged Council not to sell the property or eliminate the paper street. City Manager John Pinkerton stated we need to identify City-owned property, market it and get it on the tax base. The vote was: AYES: Mayor Nelson, Councillors Ashley, Hosmer, Mitchell and Stevenson NAYS: Councillors Morley and Skamperle CARRIED, 5 TO 2 CITY COUNCIL MEETING October 14, 2014 Page 201 2. Mayor Nelson moved an ordinance to name 7 unnamed City lanes, and Councillor Skamperle seconded to wit: ORDINANCE #12 OF 2014 ORDINANCE TO NAME 7 UNNAMED CITY LANES ON THE OFFICIAL CITY MAP, AS PER THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE OGDENSBURG HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION WHEREAS, there are currently 7 unnamed lanes in the City of Ogdensburg; and WHEREAS, if the alleys are named, CHIPS funding can be used to repair them; and WHEREAS, a letter of request was forwarded to the Ogdensburg Historic Commission to endorse the naming of the 7 unnamed lanes. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED, the Historic Commission unanimously endorsed historically naming the following list of eight lanes in the City of Ogdensburg: 1) Between 400 block of Ogden and Spring Streets – Leyare Lane LEYARE- Joseph Leyare purchased in the early 1900’s, the Spaulding St. Lawrence Boat Company which became known as the Leyare Boat Works. The Leyare company built sailing sloops and racing motor boats. He constructed boats for the rich and famous, among them, Frederic Remington, Frederick G. Bourne, Capt. D.H. Lyon and Jonathan Wainwright. In 1917, he closed his boat building business and went to Buffalo where he superintended the construction of pontoons for the hydro-aeroplane division of the Curtiss Airplane Company. In 1920 he returned to Ogdensburg and resumed boat building. The Leyare plant in Ogdensburg became the first site for the manufacture of sea and land planes by the Huff-Daland Airplane Company. CITY COUNCIL MEETING October 14, 2014 Page 202 2) Between 400 block of Ford and New York Avenues – O’Neill Lane O’NEILL- In 1961, Arthur S. O’Neill, President of the Ogdensburg Trust Co. gave the Lyon property at 202 Greene St. to the City of Ogdensburg for a public park to be known as Lyon Park. Mr. O’Neill offered the park with the understanding that the city may use as much of the land as necessary for widening the roadway at the intersection of Greene Street and the Crescent and shall keep in perpetuity “LYON PARK” in memory of the Lyon family, “which has played a long and important part in the history of Ogdensburg.” During urban renewal and the construction of the twin bridges, Lyon Park was obliterated. The naming of a street, Lyon Street is a fitting memorial to this first early pioneer family and to descendants who have contributed to the progress of Ogdensburg.

  • Pirates and Robbers: American Privateers on the St. Lawrence River
    Pirates and Robbers: American Privateers on the St. Lawrence River An Operational History Gary M. Gibson Origin Although private armed vessels belonging to a nation, and often referred to as “privateers,” were a feature of European naval warfare for centuries, it was the adoption of the United States Constitution in 1789 that made them officially allowed during the War of 1812. Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution gives Congress the power to “grant letters of marque and reprisal.” Such letters designate a nation with which the United States is at war and allows owners of private vessels to arm those vessels and seek out and capture or destroy vessels at sea belonging to that enemy. An additional clause in the same section of the Constitution empowered Congress to “make rules concerning captures on land and water,” particularly the amount and distribution of prize money awarded to the captures made by those privateers. The War of 1812 saw a large number of private American merchant vessels, and even a few specially built as privateers (e.g. Prince de Neufchatel), receiving letters of marque and reprisal. Almost all of the letters were issued to vessels sailing from ports on the Atlantic although some were issued on the Gulf of Mexico at New Orleans.1 There are only three letters of marque and reprisal known to have been granted on Lake Champlain and three on Lake Ontario. It is only those on Lake Ontario, and their 2 operations, that are described here. On the Atlantic, all letters of marque and reprisal were issued by the United States Department of State.

FOREWORD The year 1949 is the looth anniversary of Forsyth County and of its county seat, Winston. It marks the completion of a century of achievement in our community. These past 100 years have seen the birth of Forsyth County and the joining of the quaint old town of Salem in 191 3 with the newer industrial city of Winston. During this span of years our smaller towns have also flourished, and rural Forsyth County has assumed a position of leadership in the State. Dr. Adelaide Fries and her able associates in the writing of this book not only have given us an accurate history of our County but also have captured magnificently the energy of its founders, the surge of its new blood, and the cooperative spirit of its people.

  • Women, Gender, and War During the War of 1812 in the Great Lakes Region
    RHETORIC AND REALITIES: WOMEN, GENDER, AND WAR DURING THE WAR OF 1812 IN THE GREAT LAKES REGION Sherri Quirke Bolcevic A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2015 Committee: Rebecca Mancuso, Advisor Michael Brooks © 2015 Sherri Quirke Bolcevic All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Rebecca Mancuso, Advisor The bicentennial of the War of 1812 has reinvigorated interest in the conflict, but there are still elements of this war which remain unplumbed. Within the locality of the Great Lakes region, using diaries, journals, and letters as my main primary sources, I explore how gender dynamics established by whites prior to the War of 1812 influenced a mindset that said women were incapable of fruitful participation in warfare. In contrast to those who argue that women’s participation in the War of 1812 was extraordinary, I argue that women participated by any means that they were permitted. Although this participation occasionally flew in the face of traditional gender boundaries, many women aided in war efforts through everyday means, though they ultimately received little acknowledgment because their actions were reinterpreted through a lens of domesticity. My research shows that women were a significant part of the War of 1812, despite gendered thinking which regulated them to the role of the victim. iv This is for my grandmother, Blennie Quirke. I love you, Grandma. Thank you for giving me this chance. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My deepest gratitude goes to Dr. Rebecca Mancuso, who inspired me to pursue this project and then supported and guided me through its completion.

  • Colonel Cromwell Pearce the 16Th Us
    John C. Fredericksen "A POOR BUT HONEST SODGER:" COLONEL CROMWELL PEARCE THE 16TH U.S. INFANTRY, AND THE WAR OF 1812. P ennsylvania's best known contribution to the War of 1812 was the l 22nd Infantry Regiment which gained lasting renown while attached to General Winfield Scott's brigade during the 1814 Niagara campaign. The 22nd established itself as one of the most effective units in the American army, and under Colonel Hugh Brady it rendered distinguished service in such sanguine encounters as Chippewa, Lun- dy's Lane and Fort Erie.' These combat honors are preserved in the battle streamers of the present-day 2nd Infantry, the lineal descendant of the old 22nd which was disbanded in 1815. However, closer examination will reveal that not all the War of 1812 streamers were garnered by the 22nd alone. It is a little known fact that Pennsylvania also contributed two other infantry regiments to the military establish- ment, one of which, the 16th U.S. Infantry, acquired a distinguished military reputation in its own right.2 Unfortunately, this unit and its controversial colonel were eclipsed publicly by the 22nd and remain to this day an enigmatic legacy of the War of 1812. The purpose of this article, therefore, is to address a long-standing historical omission and call to the attention of posterity the accomplishments of an outstanding army regiment and its commander. The Sixteenth U.S. Infantry was commanded by Colonel Cromwell Pearce, of Chester county, Pennsylvania, who led it for the duration of the war and across such hotly contested battlefields as York, Chrysler's Farm and Lyon's Creek.
