“Okay. When I spoke with Councilman, or Councilman promoting him, Commissioner Meek, he, as long as we got the cap on the number of buildings, he said that he was happy with this proposal as it was. Does anyone else have any additional comments? I certainly understand the concerns from the neighbors on the O2 next to the houses, but my office is in exactly the same configuration. We back up to residential, and I find that it actually works extremely well. We never have any problems with the neighbors. They don't have any problems with us. No one's around typically on the weekends, and so I…”

“I actually live on AA, and I have an organic farm across the street. When I look at this, it kind of reminds me of that. That being said, I keep hearing a whole lot of things that have nothing to do with AA or the neighborhood that I live in. that I wouldn't be happy about. I struggle with this.”

“Correct, yes, unfortunately. Well, I appreciate that information. Typically, a lot of times we'll see the zoning and then immediately the flat follows. Within a year or two thereafter. This is a weird case. I looked it up. It was heard in December 3rd, 1984. So, obviously, it's 40-something years.”
