“Were there any significant design changes for the layout or density following either the community meeting or the technical review with staff?”

“I think Richard answered or you addressed one of my questions which was going to be tree save considerations. You're going to recombine or recombine and then newly subdivide this so that it's a lot, a parcel for each building?”

“Commissioner Adams? I appreciate the site plan, seeing the tree save, and looking at how this was subdivided. A tale of caution, though, relying on artificial intelligence and not architectural intelligence. We need to be a little careful about that because you could box yourself into something that may be overly specific, but I support this project.”

“Could you go back a slide to your conditions? One more slide. So to reach the 17 units per acre and the ONI density, would that require the CDMU overlay kind of design aspect to that?”

“Commissioner Adams? When was the last time that we saw the site and looked at it amending the conditional use district or the conditional uses?”

“So if what's so different in your mind about 20 to 2013 in this original master plan, when this came before us three years ago, Why weren't we talking about this density issue then and we are now?”

“Okay. I did have a question about the number of units with the overlay, so thank you for that, Linda. It's unusual for us to see conditional requests without site plans. Yes, sir. And, you know, you talk a lot about numbers of units and you talk a lot about the ability to integrate with circulation, both pedestrian as well as vehicular, but it's, I mean, until you sort of see how that actually works, how are we supposed to determine that, you know, 208, 441, whatever number of units that you could do is being done in a smart way from a design standpoint?”

“One clarifying question for staff. This would be handled under the regional stormwater design for all of Barclay West, right?”

“Okay. It took me a while to get comfortable with this because, again, as a rule of principle, I like seeing a site plan generally, so we have some accountability around design, but knowing the design guidelines of the Barclay-West master plan, the ONI, the CDMU site plan guidelines, It took me a little bit also just to, I had to put my brain around what could go there because we're not seeing what a specific proposal would be. And the napkin sketch to me says, if you take Wilmington Health's building and parking, you're going to wind up with plus or minus eight-ish acres of developable land…”

“Could you go back to the slide that had the allowable uses for the two zonings? Is there anything about how the building is being used today in the LI zoning that is a non-conforming use that is triggering a desire to go ONI?”

“I'll just say I kind of appreciate the honesty and the transparency around maybe what is triggering this, so thank you for doing that, and I think this is a great thing to support and do.”
