Okay. Any questions? All right. Thank you very much. Sophia, can you clear, put a light on this?

51:41•William Fischer

So how many units are going to be there?

52:39•William Fischer

So in proving what they're talking about,

53:45 – 54:11•William Fischer

I didn't remember from what I read, but now that you're discussing it, I do. And... You know, I see the problem was the old plan basically not enacted. So he's come up with a new plan to make this squared away. So he'd be non-compliant. But he needs the plan approved before he can do it. I understand that.

55:38•William Fischer

Well, they parked in right in the driveway, right?

56:45 – 57:01•William Fischer

So, just so I'm clear on this, there's six available parking places, right? And what is the correct standard by, you know, is it six or is it eight?

It's allowable. We're not making any special.

58:12•William Fischer

58:46•William Fischer

Wait, hold on a minute. Can you identify your full name and your address?

58:59•William Fischer

Okay, you can proceed with what you're going to say.

1:00:05 – 1:00:40•William Fischer

Okay. Any questions to Joe from Christianers? All right. Thank you very much, Joe. You're welcome. Do we have anyone else speaking in favor of it? Jonathan, is that you? You wrote neutral here. Well, come on down. I think there's no one else here wanting to speak. You want to address us? First, full name and what your address is.

1:04:04•William Fischer

All right, Sophia, you want to address this on your rebuttal?

1:05:51 – 1:06:18•William Fischer

Any other questions for Sophia? All right. Thank you very much. And Jonathan, I guess you want to come back up and I just wanted to verify that you felt like your questions were answered or at least addressed.

1:06:52 – 1:07:08•William Fischer

And I really sympathize with what you're saying, but then again, you're penalizing. I mean, I don't know what we could go on to say. You can't improve your property because it's so bad that, um. I mean, I just don't.

1:07:44 – 1:08:29•William Fischer

In many subdivisions have been involved with. You see nice amenities turn into problem areas in communities, but you know it always boils down to the rights of the people that live there. You know it's a tough question it's it's not fully answerable, but eventually You know, it just resolves the people that live there if they tolerate it or not. And you obviously don't. And hopefully that's the direction that these new people would take because they don't approve their property to have a nice sitting place overview in the park. So it's a delicate question for us to resolve.

1:09:54 – 1:10:20•William Fischer

Yeah, I think it does. I appreciate your candor with this. And I think that's what the next-door neighbor is looking for is someone that's concerned and going to look after their property more than anything. Yes. All right. Thank you very much. Thank you. We'll move back into deliberation. Remarks. Commissioners.

1:11:09•William Fischer

Second. Sovereignly made motion and second. Roll call, please.
