“To me, if we turn down number one, Number two and three, if I was the applicant, I'd pull them. Because I don't know you're going to be better off going to the commission.”

“It's conjecture. Let's just say, hypothetically, this gets strongly turned down. Anyway, we'll take it as it comes. Let's not cross that bridge. Mark, are there other properties besides these five here? that you're showing us that are impacted by this same thing?

“So we would be, if we were to try to, I think Danny's comment or whatever, if we were to try to tackle some way to limit the encroachment within the longer blocks, so that they couldn't go beyond the front third. I mean, I don't know what the distance of those blocks are, if that's standard. But, you know, somehow or another make it so, because I agree, the people that are just behind the longer blocks, if we let them go all the way back out there, that is a quality of life change.”

“So just to be clear, what was put in front of us today didn't cause us to move forward, right? So we're deferring it until... The city thinks that they have a package to put in front of the planning board. Yes. I would leave that up to Marcus and all the people involved in the city planning and zoning. We're not going to legislate it.”
