“Before Daniel sits down a third time, anybody have any questions?”
“Good. So my understanding from Madam Clerk is there's no one who has signed up for public testimony. Is there anyone interested in speaking on this development? This is a lady that's here most council meetings. I'm always amazed how... You're an amazing citizen. Okay.”
“Thanks, Margie. Anyone else interested in discussing? Mayor? Yes.”
“Okay, Sabrina, would you like to come up and make any comments or answer any questions? And I'm sure you have Councilman Griffin's worked out by now.”
“I can't, I can't make, I wouldn't, I'm one of six. So what's that? What's a half a percent? How much land are we talking about? Any idea?”
“I was going to say, if, you know, Councilman Griffin would have gotten his architectural degree with it rather than the bar, you could have handled this by now.”
“One lot? Yeah. Okay. And, of course, our requirement is a minimum of 15% as far as green space. So that would be tough. Okay. Any other questions for our applicant? I move to close public hearing. Second. Is there a second? Yeah. Did I hear a second? Any further discussion? Okay. Roll call. All in favor?”
“Aye. Thank you. I got that look. All right.”
“we're just keeping on piling it on and uh councilwoman and correct me anyone that would like so but i think that's more of a state uh direction that we are not to consider which is crazy to me also as far as school populations in in these type of considerations so uh mayor yes and just for a comment prior to a vote uh”
“And let me just state that, you know, I think a lot of these folks may not even be aware. We've been talking about analytics to see if actually growth is paying for growth and on any – Any annexation or whatever the case is, it's been taken longer than we were hoping. We're getting some confirmation from Clearwater Analytics. Looks like it may be February or March. But I'm in agreement with the Council President. It's just not fair to developers at this point in time. They need to be made aware if we are having an ordinance change or something of that sort before they actually put in their…”
“Mayor? Nothing from the audience, please.”
“Thank you. Okay. Any other comments? Okay. Do we have a motion to close public hearing? Thank you for letting me know. How long ago was that? Okay. All right. So we already have a second. So all in favor, say aye. We have a motion. We're already there. Okay. Let's do it. Roll call. Thank you all. Thank you, Madam clerk for keeping me in line.”
“What's new, huh? Uh, And what I do is I come out right at the front. I try to. This will be a yes, and mainly for the reasons I stated. I agree with Councilman Griffin that this ordinance needs to be looked at very closely. But also, I don't think it's fair to an applicant to come and do all this work and so on and then have a project that they're following what ordinance we have in place and then denying them. So in this case, it will be a yes.”
“Okay. Can we do one more public hearing or do we need a break, counsel? You need five minutes? Okay. Five-minute break, please. We are ready for our third public hearing.”
“Can anyone hear me out there? Because we are reconvening. I know the future commissioner cannot. I know Senator Lakey is having a challenge with his hearing. Okay. All right. You just wish you were back up here still, right? All right. Here we go. We're ready for 6-3, and I will try to keep, I tell you, I'm losing it a little bit as far as where we're at on things, so hopefully I get this one a little better this time. Here we go. Reconsideration of City Council denial of comprehensive plan map amendment from industrial to commercial for a 2.6-acre portion annexation and zoning to IL Light…”

“I'm looking down the lines here. Any other questions or comments? Okay, I believe we're ready for staff. Candice, your second round here? Okay.”
“Daniel or who's who's answering this one, Mark? Okay, Christy. Third time.”
“No questions, council, otherwise we'll go to public testimony. I understand we have one individual that has signed up to testify. Madam Clerk?”
“Just a little closer, Molly, to the mic. Thanks.”
“I'm just not familiar with the address. Are you close to this proximity of this?”
“Thank you for presenting. Is there anyone else that's interested in presenting? Okay, come on up, sir. And then I see another hand, so...”
“As usual. Good job. Just anyone else would like to voice their opinion? Crystal, do you mind on that microphone there? Is that working? Director of Traffic, future Director of our Public Works, Crystal Craig. I think you're the main one who would have airport representation since you've been over our traffic for several years. Any concerns at all with this project as far as from an airport standpoint?”

“Council, any further questions for our applicant or staff? If not, we need an motion to close public hearing.”
