“I do. Through the chair. zero setbacks between the residential houses on each side so if somebody wants to um go from the front to the back of their property there's not going to be any room through the site is that my understanding zero setbacks on the sides”

“Okay, so with what you said right now is that it creates problems for the future as far as railroad driving, correct, with drainage and whatnot. If that's the case, then why are we already building there if the infrastructure there is not correct? Because that eventually, those costs to build the infrastructure are gonna be passed on to the taxpayers. And I thought that it was the builders that's supposed to take care of those costs and not just build and leave that for the taxpayers in the future.”

“Through the chair. In the presentation, they said that in and out to this proposed site will be from both sites, from railroad and from Dyer, okay? And then you say that people won't need to use railroad because it's substandard. Once it's built, people are gonna use it, no matter what, okay?

“the chair i totally disagree because we're in the 21st century and we have to protect the residents and we've gone through this before in other areas and they're going to allow the residents of that area to go in and out through railroad And being that it's a substandard road does not mean that the resident's gonna say, hey, well, it's a substandard road, I'll just go through dire all the time. Their kids, and we've talked about this before, their kids are gonna run around through there, and it's gonna be substandard. So again, it's about safety. Why are we building subdivisions when the…”

“So, here we go again. On that area, if you could pull up the picture where it shows the matching of the streets, right there. The city came in and redid those sidewalks, put in those planters and the street, am I correct? Yes. Not too long ago.”

“But they didn't do the very end because it wasn't developed. So here is another developer coming in and asking to change the way this is designed. They don't want to put in that planter strip. Am I correct?”
