“Apparently, 50 years ago, one of our engineers lives out there and that road was there and we've let it go. Do we know anything more about this road or prior to?”

“Got it. However, if we decide to do something there, the developer is ready to help. Well, we'll give you all the right-of-way necessary, and we have a really pretty fence. All right. I appreciate you explaining it. Thank you very much. I will move for approval. Maybe. There we go. Tell your dad we said hi.”

“And even with a two-story, whether it be a house or a duplex, if we added an extra large fence, that's not gonna be tall enough to block anything, so I don't want to put that restriction on. So I didn't see anything that we could actually do in this sense. Am I wrong?”

“On that, I'll take that as a segue. I don't think that you're wrong in what you're saying, but I think that the definition for who qualifies for affordable housing has expanded a lot, especially in the last 12 to 18 months. So I do think something like this is needed in my ward. I have to agree with him wholeheartedly when it comes to the fact that we don't have public transportation in that area. I want to say public transportation stops about a mile and a half from this corner, Council North's Expressway. So that's something that we'll have to take up with our transit on that. A couple…”

“When you say you're restricted from doing this for 30 years, if I read the slide correctly, I mean, I understand what the loans, the agreements and what such, but what I read, I thought it said, if you were to sell, you would have to pay everything back in one lump sum at that point. But it doesn't say anything about the fact that the person purchasing it would have to maintain affordable housing.”

“So even if it's paid off, that restriction is tied to the land for 30 years. Correct. So whoever buys it understands that and is going to be held to those standards.”

“Okay, that helps me on this one. I want to also make sure that we have that kind of put out in layman's terms. The other question I have for you is what is your timeframe of development? And I'm gonna explain this to you and the reason I'm asking this is I have a lot of pressure from the Piedmont School District to not develop. They haven't approved a bond in almost two years now. They haven't been able to build buildings. They can't even take care of their roads. They're having a lot of issues with different aspects. So the more we build and put kids in their school, the more problems they…”
