“OK. I'll say this. In order for me to support, I've heard the community, there are some concerns about where we are. One of the things that I'm concerned about is passing second reading at all without having all of these deed restrictions as part of the motion. I think all of the deed restrictions need to be made a part of it. I would make the amendment that all of the deed restrictions mentioned in the by wal-mart in the sale agreement which includes they have specifically come out and said they think refuse to sell the property if if anything is going to be a discount store a grocery store…”

“OK. So what we're going to debate now is the amendment, which is basically putting in second reading. There still is a requirement for three readings before anything can pass. But at least at this point, what this amendment would do would be to put in place something that requires all of the restrictions that the applicant is saying they're going to abide by and that the owner of the current property says they will not sell the property. to allow in writing as part of the existing motion. Is there any other discussion on the amendment?”

“The intent of my amendment is to include all of the restrictions that have been presented to us, either by virtue of the sale agreement or by virtue of the deed restrictions that the applicant said they would adhere to, both of them.”

“And OK, so I will clarify that my motion applies to any of the restrictions lit listed and exhibit B to the agreement of sale. And. Any of the prohibited uses identified in the restrictive agreement, which I don't. the restricted covenant agreement. I think that's as close as I can get.”

“All right, so is your motion to amend to ask for a TIA before we have third reading, or do we need an assessment of, is that your amendment? Well, however you want to propose it.”

“We haven't had a second. I think we're debating what are the options when it comes to the traffic. What are the options when it comes to the traffic issue, and how do we get some feedback? I mean, I heard also some information about what are the current road improvements that are required from Pennies. That's a separate question. Is that going to be required with turn lanes in the surrounding area? I don't know. Ann?”

“I guess at this point, we don't have an amendment on the table. Are we asking staff to provide an analysis of options to us and get some response back about the options as to the TIA purpose? Or are we going to officially require a TIA before third reading? There's different options here. So I don't... I don't mind entertaining either of them, but I want to make sure. The thing that I struggle with with this particular rezoning is that it sure would be nice to do some, I don't know what the community, it sure would be nice to do, a lot of times community comes and says we really would like…”

“I'm a little bit uncomfortable with passing a motion without knowing what questions we need to ask. So I mean, as it pertains to this amendment that's on the table, the current amendment that has been seconded is to require a TIA prior to third reading. If you're telling us that we need to have very specific questions as part of that, this council is not prepared to ask those.”

“I think the concern I have is the questions are an individual is allowed to build something now. They aren't required to do that. And what we're trying to determine is what are they allowed to do? With all of these restrictions in place, what do we have left compared to what's allowed by right versus the other? And I guess the motion on the table is to include the TIA, but I'm hearing from staff that we need to have very specific questions answered before we can commit to that. I don't know if someone wants to go into executive session to do that now, or do we want to defer the issue or get…”

“well I guess Walmart could be there later they just aren't ready to build there now I think we're speculating we have to we have to base our decision based upon the facts in front of us the question and the amendment in front of us is to require the TIA prior to third reading unless there is A motion for executive session to get legal advice.”

Opposed. Motion passes six to one. Thank you, sir. We move now to our only item of new business. Council to receive the fiscal 2526 development report as information.”

“I'm wondering if from this report, have we learned anything that we can use to help better serve folks? I mean, I know if you look back at the single family, I mean, COVID was 20. So the explanation of kind of looks to me like the 2021-22 is an outlier. So I don't know that you can necessarily use a five-year average on the residential, but it does look like the county is focusing on single family residential rather than townhomes. Townhomes and high density housing is not in the county. We're seeing less of that, which I think makes sense. But when it comes to single family, it looks like…”

“I think there's a way to at least show where the permits are being done, seeing the geographic areas that folks are gravitating to. I think we have a guess on that.”
