“You go a question just I'm looking at this and I see the square footage on the triangle. The 1, that's currently. residential and you want to convert it to commercial because of the uh irregular shape of this lot although it's residential it's not really conducive to build a house on i would imagine if someone wanted to construct a home there with that shape i'd be before you try to get a handful of variances for a home because the triangle lot are very difficult your step backs are yeah and it it”

If we don't want it there, we have to create an ordinance prohibiting certain businesses in certain areas if we really feel that there's too many of them. And I agree, there's a lot of too many businesses. We do have too many check cashing, too many clinics, too many pawn shops,…”
