“And before you start, I would just ask, show of hands, did anybody plan on speaking that was not sworn in or chose not to be sworn in? All right. So we shouldn't have any challenge there.”

“Councilor Schwan, maybe if you could mute your, if you could hear me, if you could mute that. All right, Dan, I got a question. Sure. So this particular item passed on the planning board four to three, correct? Yes, it did, the variance. Did they ask, and I respect Councilor Champaign's deep dive into information, did they ask for any of this? Did they take staff's opinion, approval, belief that the 2014 document exists?”

“Okay, so we had an approval from the planning board. They're sending this to us. What does the staff recommend on this? The staff recommended was approval of the variance. Approval by the staff, approval by the planning board. Okay. Seems like a tremendous reduction in intensity. Dry docks, 53 feet, 44 feet. Dealerships, it seems like it's going from this to about this. And so I have a question. How is moving a recycling bin affect the general public negatively? It really doesn't, that I'm aware of. And it looks like the garbage was moved actually from the very corner of the street and tucked…”

“On the Magnolia lot, that shoulder lot, and the street. So it looks like, to me, that looks better. It just looks like a good start. Am I missing anything big here, Tim? No. Okay. I see no other light signs. Do we want to bring up the attorney or the presentation from the applicant?”

“2024. You said it. Nine hours at planning board. They asked all the questions I had to. You covered all the agendas. We're here reinventing the wheel when it seems like this has been well set up for us. Staff recommends approval. And actually, this is the only one close in planning board with the 4-3. The other ones are super majorities, 6-1 and 5-1. This seems like, I don't know what made it a little more of a 4-3 vote, but it seems like this is pretty well set up for us. Has anything changed between planning board and now? Did you add any asks in this? Did you change anything that's been…”

“Can I call Dan back up? Dan, can you come up with a question for you, please?”

“DAN, QUICK QUESTION. STAFF APPROVAL. LOOK, I KNOW THIS IS CONTROVERSIAL WITH THE COMMUNITY. I KNOW WE HAVE OPINION HERE AS COUNCILORS AND WE HAVE REGISTERED VOTERS AND CITIZENS WHO ARE OUR BOSSES. WHAT CRITERIA DO YOU USE TO MAKE THESE DECISIONS? As far as the variances? When staff recommends approval, what's your criteria to make it?”

“And then from there, upon your approval, or does your approval matter? Is it conditional upon no approval from staff that goes to planning board or goes to planning board anyway without staff support? I'm sorry, what was the question? Do you have the option to send it to Planning Board with your approval or without your approval? That's correct. Without your recommendation. Either way, it still goes to Planning Board. That's correct. This particular one went there with your approval. They took it on and voted to approve it, correct?”

“All right. Joan, how many people signed up for public comment on this?”

“10 of them are going to speak for four minutes. Yes.”
City Council · Sep 10, 2026
- Play at 3:03:09
“No, we're going to need to let them speak on each one because they're separate votes. And I'm already considering, and folks, when you ask why is it such a heavy agenda, some things are time sensitive by law, and sometimes the applicant has went through the process and deserved to be heard in a reasonable time. With that said, item 16, the bond resolution is not time sensitive. That could be bumped to another meeting, and councilor communication can also, or at least a white paper if we have to. But even at that, we're at 40 minutes. So we're going to have to cut them down a little bit to…”

“We have to get them all in. And I want to make sure voices are heard from everybody. So let's go with three minutes. And then if there's seating time, we'll give them five, okay?”

“Before we start that clock, David. I might ask you, we are keeping comment based on 14A, correct? This particular item. Correct. What is before us, what we're required to vote on.”
