I think that we are really here to be the cheerleader of anybody that wants to do work to a house or wants to build a building or wants to tear down and build a new house. I think we're here to say, yay, we want you to do that. We want the improvement. And I think that this stymies people. I think it takes out their own creativity.

“I mean, I'd like to make a motion, if I can, without going through the entire commercial wall sign permit and language, that this be returned to just the town planner again, and not to the Planning and Zoning Board, because I think our conversations went all the way back to eliminating it, because why are we making these people travel from Broward and Palm Beach”

“I said I'm sorry I didn't get to see your original design because I'm a design builder. So I'm very interested in architecture and design. And there's no reason for this to be turned down or denied. Makes me kind of sad that you refined it to accommodate the last planning zoning board, which I don't think I've heard a good story yet. I'm sorry for that.”

I thought it was a good learning moment for all of us, whether we knew it or not. I thought those are valuable little pieces. And the other thing is, as far as the awnings, I think it's a very interesting subject, too. I agree. I do believe that if somebody wants to put an awning in, I think somehow, maybe, and I could be wrong, that there should be kind of cohesive decision making. on awnings up and…”

“I mean, is it really something that you study the most successful outdoor style streets or malls like Palm Beach, Hesworth Avenue? And I think it's beautiful. And when I think about it, I think they all have extensions of awnings, which provides a lot of cover, whether it's shade or from the elements.
