THANKS FOR HAVING US HERE TONIGHT.

UM, SO BASICALLY WE WERE AT PLANNING AND ZONING LAST YEAR IN 2021 WITH A OKAY, WITH 30, UM, UNITS ON THIS TRACK.

THIS IS, UH, ONE SOUTH ARMWOOD BY FLORIDA BOULEVARD.

AND WE GOT A LOT OF COMMENTS, DENSITY, DENSITY, DENSITY.

WE DID HAVE SOME APPROVAL, A LOT OF APPROVAL BACK THEN, BUT WE DECIDED TO COMPROMISE AND WE WENT FROM 30 TO 16.

UM, ALSO A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT PRIVACY.

SO WE WENT FROM A SIX FOOT PRIVACY FENCE TO A EIGHT FOOT PRIVACY FENCE.

AND THE OTHER THING, UM, WE ARE TRYING TO ALSO WORK ONE IS PRIVACY WINDOWS.

SO IT'S NOT OVERLOOKING ANY REAR YARDS.

AND WE ALSO ADDED A TWO CAR GARAGE BECAUSE LAST TIME, UM, WE HAD A ONE-CAR GARAGE AND NOW WE'RE ADDING A TWO CAR GARAGE.

UM, AND THAT'S BASICALLY IT IT'S A 16 LOT DEVELOPMENT.

UM, WE'RE GONNA PROBABLY START AROUND 350,000.

WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP IT IN A MORE ACCESSIBLE TO A MORE GENERAL PUBLIC IN THAT MID CITY, OLD GOODWOOD AREA.

THANK YOU, CHAD STEVENS, TOM MARK MARIST.

EXCUSE ME.

THANK YOU.

I'M TOM MORAY.

I LIVE AT 13, 15 CARROLLTON AVENUE.

I BUTCHERED THAT.

I APOLOGIZE.

OH, I'M USED TO IT DID EAST.

WOULD'VE GOTTEN IT RIGHT, BUT EVERYONE ELSE NOW THE, UH, I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME JUST TO REITERATE WHAT I SAID, OR THE PLANNING ZONING EARLIER BOUGHT AND BUILT, BOUGHT A HOUSE, BOUGHT A LOT, BUILT A HOUSE ABOUT SEVEN YEARS AGO, SIX YEARS AGO IN ON CARROLLTON AND OLD GOODWOOD LOVED THE NEIGHBORHOOD, UH, WENT TO KENILWORTH AND LEE.

I'M A LIVED A LOT OF MY STUDENTS AND PART OF MY LIFE.

AND UH, IN BATON ROUGE, I PICKED THIS NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE I LIKED THE WAY THAT THE VALUE OF THE HOMES ARE COMING BACK INTO IT.

IF YOU WERE PUTTING MONEY INTO A LOT OF, CAMELBAKS A LOT OF TEAR DOWNS, A LOT OF REBUILDS THIS LOT.

IF I LOOK AT IT FROM THE GOOGLE EARTH CAN TAKE YOU BACK TO 1995 AND NOTHING'S BEEN BUILT ON IT.

AND OUR HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION STICKS WITH A ONE OR ELSE.

AND I DON'T THINK, YEAH, I LIKE TO .

I LIKE TO PRESERVE THAT, BUT THERE ARE CERTAIN TRANSITIONAL AREAS.

THIS NEIGHBORHOOD WAS FOUNDED A STARTUP AT 98 YEARS AGO AND PIECEMEAL, AND REALLY WASN'T LIKE A PLANNED NEIGHBORHOOD.

LIKE IF YOU HAD SOMETHING OF THIS VALUE TODAY, YOU WOULD HAVE TRANSITIONAL AREAS.

AND AS I THINK THIS IS A PERFECT FIT FOR US, I THINK IT'S NECESSARY TO, YOU KNOW, KEEP THE VALUE.

IF THIS WAS A SUCH A VALUABLE A ONE PROPERTY WOULD HAVE.

WHY HASN'T IT BEEN DEVELOPED ALL THESE YEARS, PLEASE? THIS IS HELPFUL FOR MY VALUE, MY NEIGHBORS, EVEN THE ONES WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.

I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS WHAT WE DO.

THIS IS, THIS IS A GOOD MOVE.

AND I THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THESE, UH, THIS PROPOSAL.

THANK YOU.

SO

[00:05:02]

I KNOW I BOUGHT YOU THAT ACTUALLY YOU GOT TO CORRECT IT.

IT'S VERY RARE, BUT YES, YOU DID WOLF.

WARSHAUER 1650 CAMERON AVENUE.

I'VE LIVED IN THE OLD GOODWOOD AREA FOR 12 YEARS NOW.

AND UH, JUST LIKE TOM SAID, UH, THIS IS AN EXCELLENT, UH, DEVELOPMENT GOING, UM, ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR A TRANSITION AREA, GOING FROM COMMERCIAL TO A LITTLE BIT MORE DENSE TO THE RESIDENTIAL AWAN THAT BACKS IT UP.

AND I THINK THIS IS THE RIGHT MOVE.

IF THE, UM, IF THE METRO COUNCIL APPROVES THIS, I THINK THIS WILL BE GREAT.

WE'LL DO GREAT THINGS FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND IT WILL ALSO RAISE THE PROPERTY VALUES IN THAT AREA.

UM, WITH NEW CONSTRUCTION, NEW BUILDS, AND I THINK IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO AT THIS TIME.

THANK YOU.

ROBERT SENDING MORE ENGINEERING AND SURVEYING 93 45 INTERLINE AVENUE.

OH, AND THIS PROJECT WENT THROUGH THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

WE RECEIVED UNANIMOUS APPROVAL OF THE PRELIMINARY PLAT AS WELL AS THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CHANGE AND THE REZONING.

UH, WHEN WE CAME, WE WERE SET TO COME BEFORE THE COUNCIL LAST MONTH AND WE REQUESTED A DEFERRAL, UH, SO THAT WE COULD HAVE ANOTHER MEETING WITH THE ADJACENT NEIGHBORS, THE BERKS IN PARTICULAR, TO TRY TO ADDRESS THEIR CONCERNS.

UH, WE HAD THAT MEETING A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND WE ADDRESSED THEIR CONCERNS AS BEST WE COULD.

WE EXPLAINED OUR DRAINAGE PLAN, UH, THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN APPROVED BY THE CITY.

THE CITY HAS APPROVED OUR DRAINAGE STUDY AND OUR CONCEPT PLAN FOR DRAINAGE.

UH, WE EXPLAINED THE DOWN'S ZONING.

UM, MR. BURKS, UH, AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS AN ADDITIONAL CULVERT IN HIS YARD THAT MAY CONTRIBUTE TO OUR DRAINAGE.

HE WAS KIND ENOUGH TO ALLOW US TO GO IN AND SURVEY THAT AND MAKE SURE THAT WE CONFIRMED IT WAS INCLUDED IN OUR DRAINAGE STUDY, UH, PROPERLY AND IT WAS INCLUDED.

SO WE MADE SURE THAT WE HAD DONE THAT PROPERLY.

UH, WE ALSO HAD SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT WHETHER AS PART OF MEETING THAT PERMIT HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE CORPS.

UH, THE CLIENT, MY CLIENT IS JUST WAITING ON DISAPPROVAL, LETTING CLOSE ON THE PROPERTY AND PAY FOR THE PERMIT.

SO THAT THAT PART HAS BEEN, UH, TAKEN CARE OF AS WELL.

SO I'D JUST LIKE TO REITERATE THAT WE ARE ASKING FOR A DOWN ZONING, YOU KNOW, FROM HEAVY COMMERCIAL IN ADJACENT TO SINGLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL TO A SINGLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL ZONING, IF HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER YOU.

THANK YOU, SIR.

IS THERE ANYONE HERE WISHING LCO, WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEM 17 SHOWING NINE.

OH, COME ON DOWN.

COME ON NOW, STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

JAMIE TARWATER I'M TOM.

BURKE'S NOT GOING TO SPEAK.

OKAY, GO AHEAD, TOM.

OKAY.

I'M TOM BURKES AND I LIVE ON THE ADJACENT PROPERTY.

I LIVE IN J T SIX.

WE HAVE 144, TOP 144 HOMES, SINGLE FAMILY HOMES THERE.

IT'S ABOUT 22 YEARS OLD.

AND WE'VE BEEN LIVING THERE FOR ABOUT 16 YEARS.

I GUESS I CONCERN WAS, LET ME JUST GIVE YOU SOME HISTORY.

WHEN THIS STARTED OFF, MICKEY SAID IT CAME BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION, WHEN IT DID THAT, WE HAD NINE DAYS NOTICE WE DIDN'T GET TO TALK TO ANYONE.

AND BY THE TIME I TALKED TO THE COUNCIL WOMAN, AND THEN BY THE TIME IT CAME TO TO HERE, OH, IT WAS PRETTY MUCH RUBBER STAMP.

IT SEEMED LIKE IT, IT SAID, DID THEY MEET WITH THE HOMEOWNERS? YES, BUT THEY DIDN'T THERE WASN'T A GIVE AND TAKE THAT MUCH.

SO ANYWAY, THAT WAS OUR CONCERN THAT SINCE THEN THE ENGINEER HAS BEEN WORKING WITH US.

WE EMPLOY OUR OWN ENGINEER AND THEY MET AND THEY WENT THROUGH A LOT OF THE DETAILS TO, AND TWO OF THE ISSUES THAT WE HAVE IS THAT THE OUTFLOW OF IT WOULDN'T BE PUT IN REFERENCE FIRST JT, SIX DRAINS ONTO THERE ONTO THE PROPERTY OF SEVEN 60 AT INDUSTRIAL PLACE.

SO OUR OUTFLOW GOES INTO THEM.

THEY'RE HAVING A, THEIR OUTFLOW GOES INTO A POT.

OUR CONCERN IS THE DRAIN.

THE JOB FLOW WILL BE PUBLICLY MAINTAINED BY THE CITY.

AS IT GOES INTO THIS POND.

THIS POND IS GOING TO BE MAINTAINED PRIVATE, BUT BY THE HOMEOWNERS OF THIS INDUSTRIAL PLAY PROJECT, AND I WOULD LIKE SOME ASSURANCE BY THE CITY OR SOMEBODY THAT THEY HAVE ACCESS TO THIS POND.

IF THESE PEOPLE FAIL TO MAINTAIN THE POT, BECAUSE IF THEY DON'T, THAT BACKS UP ALL THE WATER AND JT SIX, WHICH IS 144 HOMES.

AND, UH, SO I THINK THAT THE CITY HAS SOME LEVEL OF HOSE OFF AS LETTER OR SOME KIND OF CONFIRMATION THAT THE CITY WILL IN FACT HAVE ACCESS TO THAT POND.

AND THAT THE CITY WILL IN FACT, PERIODICALLY INSPECTED TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS OKAY, THAT'S NOT GOING DOWNHILL.

OTHERWISE I'M AFRAID AS TIME GOES ON 15, 20 YEARS, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A METH ASSUMING I'M LIVING 15, 20 YEARS, UH, UM, I'M 82 YEARS OLD HERE.

SO THE SECOND THING IS WHO WE SAID IS THAT OUR ENGINEER KNOW THIS.

IN FACT, HE HAD TO LOOK ON THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, TOPOGRAPHICAL MAPS, AND HE NOTICED THAT THE RUN ADJACENT TO THE SEVEN 60 AT INDUSTRIAL PLEX IS A FLOOD PLAIN.

AND THEN THEY HAVE INDUSTRIAL PLEX BOULEVARD, WHICH IS FLAT IT'S AS FLAT AS THIS THERE'S DON'T CURVE AND A PROPERTY OVER HERE.

IT IS A FLOOD PLAIN.

SADLY, THERE IS NOT SORRY, YOU, YOU, YOU YOU'RE OUT OF TIME, BUT IF YOU WANT TO MAKE ONE LAST STATEMENT, THE PROPERTY AND THE TWO AREAS OR

[00:20:01]

THIS IS NOT, IT SHOULD BE A FLOOD PLAIN.

AND THAT HASN'T BEEN DECIDED YET.

UH, I'LL I'LL PASS THAT ON MY LAST POINT IS I'M SAYING THAT SHOULD BE DECIDED PRIOR TO VOTE ON HERE BECAUSE THE CITY IS COMING UP WITH SOME NEW ZONING.

I MEAN, NEW ORDINANCES IN TERMS OF DRAINAGE.

AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT'S TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT.

SO WE DON'T APPROVE THIS TOO EARLY.

SORRY.

OKAY.

SORRY FOR RUNNING.

NO PROBLEM.

82 CAN OVERRUN A LITTLE BIT.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE HERE WISHING TO COME ON DOWN, SIR? GOOD AFTERNOON, KEVIN AND BARKS 1 0 5 1 5 FERNBROOK AVENUE.

UM, THANKS FOR HAVING ME TODAY.

UM, SO WE'RE SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF OUR HOA AS WELL.

THE JT SEX HOA, THE PRESIDENT COULD NOT ATTEND TODAY.

SO WE'RE KIND OF HERE AS A PROXY.

WE HAVE A MEETING WITH OUR COUNCILWOMAN ADAMS AND WITH THE ENGINEER.

AND, UM, SO WE HAVE MADE LOTS OF PROGRESS IN TERMS OF OUR CONCERNS, BUT WHERE OUR STAND TODAY WITH THE REZONING IS I DO NOT THINK THAT THIS DEVELOPMENT, THIS PROPOSED PROJECT MEETS THE MINIMUM STANDARDS OF THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT.

TATE ONE IS WE DO NOT KNOW THE, THE, THE NATURE OF, AS MY DAD WENT TO OVER 25% OF THIS PROPERTY IS IN A FLOOD PLAIN.

NOW IT MAY NOT BE A 25 FOOT BASE FLOOD ELEVATION.

THIS WAS ACCORDING TO OUR HIRED ENGINEER THAT WE HAVE 25% OF THIS PROPERTY IS BELOW THE 25 FOOT BASE FLOOD ELEVATION.

IT IS A FLOOD LANE.

NOW IT WASN'T DESIGNATED AS A SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD AREA, BUT WE HAVE SUBMITTED A REQUEST TO OUR COUNCIL WOMEN TO GET THE CITY TO REVIEW THIS.

HOW CAN THE CITY MAKE A DECISION ON REZONING SOMETHING UNTIL WE UNDERSTAND WHETHER OR NOT THIS IS A SPECIAL FLOODS ZONE AREA.

SO I'M SAYING LET'S DEFER THIS.

LET'S ALLOW THE CITY TO LOOK AT THIS AND MAKE A DECISION.

IS THIS A SPECIAL FLOOD ZONE HAZARD AREA BEFORE WE REZONE IT? THAT MAKES COMMON SENSE TO ME.

UM, THE SECOND THING IS, UM, AS MY DAD SAID, UH, 100% OF THE STORM WATER DRAINAGE WILL BE CAPTURED BY THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT THROUGH TWO PROPOSED, UH, DETENTION PONDS.

THESE DIGITAL PALMS ARE SUBJECT TO, UM, THE MANAGEMENT, THE OWNERSHIP OF THIS POTENTIAL YET ON ESTABLISHED HOA.

IF THIS IS POOR PERFORMING HOA, WE ARE AT RISK RIGHT NOW.

WE ARE 20 YEARS FROM NOW WHO KNOWS HOW THIS DEVELOPMENT IS GOING TO, THIS IS BAD PRACTICE.

IT IS.

WE'RE ASKING THERE'S AN EXISTING 80 FOOT DRAINAGE SERVITUDE ON THIS PROPERTY THAT THE, THAT THE APPLICANT HAS REQUESTED TO REVOKE DOWN TO 40 FEET.

LET'S NOT INTER A MIX.

OUR FACILITIES CAN WE DECIDE TO HAVE A, THEY CAN HAVE THEIR PONDS, LET US ALLOW, HAVE OUR EXISTING CHANNEL.

WE DON'T NEED TO INTERMIXES.

THEY WANT TO DO THAT TO INCREASE THEIR DEVELOPMENT, TO INCREASE THEIR LOTS.

WELL, THAT'S PUTTING PROFIT, THEIR PROFIT OVER OUR SECURITY.

AND I JUST DON'T THINK THAT THAT'S NECESSARY.

AND IT'S, IT'S, SOMETHING'S DOWN THE ROAD COULD HAPPEN THAT COULD AFFECT THE ENTIRE HUNDRED AND 44 RESIDENTS OF OUR SUBDIVISION.

SO AS YOU SEE, THERE'S THIS CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW THAT STILL NEED TO BE WORKED OUT.

AND LIKE I SAID, YOU KNOW, UNTIL THE CITY CAN MAKE A DECISION ON WHETHER OR NOT THIS AREA IS IN A FLOOD ZONE, WE SHOULD NOT PASS THIS, THIS, THIS REZONING RIGHT NOW.

UM, AND YOU KNOW, THE OTHER THING IS WE, THE CITY IS CURRENTLY LOOKING AT ADOPTING A NEW REGULATIONS FOR THEIR FLOOD ZONES, SPECIAL FLOOD ZONE HARE.

THEY HAVE YET TO DO THAT SEPTEMBER 21ST, 2021, THE CITY ADOPTED MORATORIUM FOR DEVELOPMENT IN SPECIAL FLOOD ZONE HAZARD AREAS UNTIL THE CITY REVIEWS AND ADOPTS.

WE SHOULDN'T BE DEVELOPING IN NEW PROJECTS IN NEW FLOODPLAINS.

SO I THINK WE NEEDED TO HOLD OFF AND ALLOW THIS TO JUST TAKE SOME TIME.

SO WE CONSIDER WHETHER OR NOT THIS IS IN A FLOOD ZONE, WHETHER OR NOT THIS DEVELOPMENT IS NECESSARY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR COMMENTS.

IS THERE ANYONE HERE WISHING TO SPEAK ANYONE ELSE HERE? WE WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEM 17.

WE NOW GO TO COUNCIL MEMBERS, COUNCIL MEMBER ADAMS. UM, I'D LIKE TO ASK RACHEL TO COME UP, CALVIN, CALVIN MEMBERS WHILE WRITING ON, UM, RACHEL Y'ALL SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED TWO EMAIL COMMENTS IN OPPOSITION TO ITEM 17.

OH, HI, RACHEL.

UM, SO YOU WERE, YOU WERE LISTENING TO THE ISSUES AT HAND.

UM, CAN YOU, CAN YOU HELP US ADDRESS SOME OF THOSE ISSUES? YES.

SO WHILE IT IS NOT IN A JURISDICTIONAL WETLANDS, JURISDICTIONAL, FLOOD, PLAIN, UM, WE DON'T DESIGNATE THE FLOODPLAINS AND AS HE INSINUATED, WE ARE LOOKING AT THOSE THINGS, SOME OF THOSE THINGS WITH OUR STORM WATER MASTER PLAN, UM, AND WE'LL LOOK AT SOME OF HIS, YOU KNOW, THE CUT AND FILL, BUT WE'RE REALLY NOT AT THAT STAGE HERE.

UM, HE SUBMITTED A PRELIMINARY DRAINAGE IMPACT

[00:25:01]

AND, UM, IT APPEARS TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL OF OUR REQUIREMENTS AND REGULATIONS HERE.

UM, AND WE WILL FURTHER EVALUATE THAT A REVISED RANGE OF BACK STUDY WILL BE SUBMITTED ALONG WITH THE DETAILED CONSTRUCTION PLANS.

THAT WILL INCLUDE A WHOLE LOT MORE INFORMATION THAN THIS ONE SHEET OF PAPER.

UM, AND, AND WE WILL CHECK IT AND REVIEW IT THOROUGHLY, YOU KNOW, UM, AND AS FAR AS THE, THE DRAINAGE AND GOING THROUGH THE PONDS, IT MAY OR MAY NOT BE IDEAL.

IT DEPENDS SITUATIONALLY, UM, ABOUT THAT INFORMATION, YOU KNOW, ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT, YOU KNOW, WE ALLOW IT, WE DID HAVE SEVERAL MEETINGS WITH MYSELF AND FRED REFERRED, UM, WITH THE DEVELOPER AND THEIR ENGINEER ABOUT WHERE TO, AT HOW TO RELOCATE THIS DRAINAGE, UM, WAY THAT GOES THROUGH THIS PROPERTY.

UM, AND WE CAME TO AN AGREEMENT ON ITS LOCATION AND, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE PRESENTED THAT HERE.

UM, BUT EVERY POND ALWAYS HAS A, UH, AT A MINIMUM OF 30 FOOT PUBLIC DRAIN OF SERVITUDE THAT RUNS THROUGH IT, WHICH ALLOWS FOR THE CITY PARISH TO COME IN AND MAINTAIN CONVEYANCE THROUGH THERE.

THAT IS IN EVERY SINGLE POND.

IT IS CLEARLY DEFINED AND DETAILED IN THE NOTES ON THE FINAL PLAT.

UM, WE HAVE ALL OF THOSE NOTES ON OUR WEBSITE, ON PLANNING'S WEBSITE, THEY HAVE THE SAMPLE NOTES THERE ON THE SUBDIVISION ENGINEERING WEBSITE FOR FINAL FLIGHTS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

UM, THE PARISH ATTORNEY'S OFFICE IS INVOLVED HEAVILY IN THAT AS WELL TO, TO MARK THAT DELINEATION.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, I FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH, YOU KNOW, WE FEEL COMFORTABLE APPROVING THIS, YOU KNOW, AS IT IS, AND AFTER REVIEWING ALL THE INFORMATION SUBMITTED IN THE MULTITUDE OF MEETINGS THAT WE'VE HAD WITH THEM.

SO, OKAY.

TERRIFIC.

AND JUST A QUESTION, I MEAN, IF THE POND WAS TO BE OUT OF COMPLIANCE AT SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE, UM, WITH, WITH ORDINANCES, WHAT, WHAT HAPPENS THEN? THERE ARE SOME PROVISIONS IN THE UDC THAT REQUIRE, UM, THE MAINTENANCE OF PONDS BY HOMEOWNERS, ASSOCIATIONS, PONDS ARE CONSIDERED WATER QUALITY FEATURES.

AND SO THEY ARE REQUIRED TO BE INSPECTED AND MAINTAINED BROTHER PROPERTY, YOU KNOW, BY THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, WHOEVER IT'S NEEDED TO ON THE PLANT ITSELF, RIGHT.

THOSE ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES ARE CLEARLY DEFINED ON THE FINAL PLOT.

UM, YOU KNOW, AND SO THAT INFORMATION, YOU KNOW, IS ALL THERE TO HELP UNDERSTAND WHO'S GOING TO MAINTAIN IT AND WHO'S NOT RIGHT, AND WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO.

OKAY.

AND SO THE CITY WOULD HAVE, IF THINGS WERE NOT BEING MAINTAINED.

YES.

YEAH.

WE CAN, WE CAN FORCE ENFORCE PROPERTY MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITIES ONTO PRIVATE ENTITIES LIKE HOMERS ASSOCIATIONS.

I THINK THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.

THANKS.

YEAH.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

UM, SO IT, THIS HAS BEEN, UH, YOU CAN GET, YOU WERE WONDERFUL.

THANK YOU.

UM, SO IT'S, THIS HAS BEEN A, UH, A LEARNING CURVE AND A GREAT PROCESS.

I'VE REALLY APPRECIATED.

UM, THE BURGS WELCOMING US INTO THEIR HOME.

UM, UH, MR. ROBERTSON, UH, SPENDING A LOT OF TIME, UM, WITH, WITH THE FAMILY AND THE, AND THE, THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

AND ALSO, UM, I JUST CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT OUR PLANNING STAFF AND THEIR AVAILABILITY AND RESPONSIVENESS TO, UM, TO, TO BOTH THE DEVELOPERS AND, AND OUR, OUR, UM, OUR RESIDENTS AND HELPING THEM WORK THROUGH THESE ISSUES.

UM, THIS IS, IT'S A DOWN'S OWNING.

SO RIGHT NOW, UH, YOU KNOW, THE BEHIND THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IS HEAVY COMMERCIAL TOO.

AND, UM, AND SO IN MY MIND, IT MAKES GOOD SENSE, UM, TO, TO NOT HAVE A FACTORY OR SOME, YOU KNOW, SOME VERY INTENSE, UM, INDUSTRIAL, UM, THING GO IN BEHIND JT SIX.

UM, IT IT'S, IT'S GOOD TO SEE A RESIDENTIAL COME IN, UM, BEHIND RESIDENTIAL.

AND SO, UM, I ASSURED THE BARKS THAT WE'LL KEEP WORKING THROUGH THIS AS WE GO THROUGH THE PROCESS.

UM, MR. ROBERTSON HAS KEPT AN OPEN LINE OF COMMUNICATION WITH ME.

I'M GOING TO KEEP AN OPEN LINE OF COMMUNICATION WITH THE BARKS AND, UM, UH, YOU KNOW, I FEEL GREAT ABOUT THIS PROJECT MOVING, UM, THE SONY REZONING MOVING FORWARD.

SO I'D LIKE TO MOVE FOR APPROVAL.
