I was at that meeting also and I see there's one of our former petitions is coming back to us.
I have a curiosity question okay. On the vehicle routing exhibits that could show the site plan. Do they assume that the parking spots are all empty when they do that analysis or and the reason I ask is occasionally the red line gets very very very close to a parking spot. So I was just it's a curiosity question my educational curiosity question.
But I was just curious because you picked up. Ford 350 as the typical vehicle, and those are large vehicles, especially if they have a trailer hitch hanging out behind them. It adds an extra footer so it can lift in a car.
Thank you. Any other questions for Roger? No. Any other comments by the commissioners? Seeing none, we are adjourned. Yeah, but I knew it would be a pretty quick one today.
