Anyway, you know, the other ones are not a thing, especially if the outdoor area is just a smoking area and, you know, you're not going to be getting. But I guess just as an advisory board, if someone makes a motion, I would be interested to see the commission and specifically the commissioner for the district who obviously knows what's going on.

“Right. The thing is, these are, in all respect, you make a good point, but they are kind of two totally different scales and types of things, and that project will have its own sort of set of rules and things so I just to keep it. for the sake of the applicant also, you know, narrower.”
