“Okay. I guess the question I'm leading to is, is FEMA an approval authority, or will they just say everything's good and we have a no-rise issue? I mean, I don't know what kind of approval we get from FEMA on this.”

“just point out one other thing that we're looking at here a second ago that's a residence in that top right corner so you'd have a residence surrounded by thoroughfare commercial i don't think i'd want to be that guy and that's why i was saying that we would if there is anything in the future that were to be”

“Questions, comments? I'm sorry. Just to piggyback on yours, we'll just go ahead and beat that horse again. We've seen this numerous times when they've combined the parcels and they want to make the whole thing commercial. That's been a whole lot easier to approve, but I don't see how we can do anything with this.”

“The bigger issue that's already been said, but I'll just say it again, is that With a lot of things that we are presented with and are asked to approve, a lot of times we set precedent. And what this precedent would set is, like Preston said, every residential lot behind every thoroughfare commercial would say, okay, well, we want thoroughfare commercial too, and it will just start bleeding into the neighborhoods. And without them combining with the ones that are fronting the major thoroughfare, it just doesn't make sense.”

“i'll just add and i think i'm just piggybacking on some previous conversations in a different area of course and and unfortunately i'll sit here and be a nimby person but we're we're going to get a brand new interchange starting in 29 at central pike um The big Tillman property there is shown as interstate commercial. That's going to come in as mixed use. I don't know when. I think sooner rather than later. If that comes in mixed use, we've got mixed use all the way around it. And my fear is that we're going to have a nice, beautiful interchange constructed. I'm a roadway person, so I think…”

“Absolutely, 100%. Because we're going to see more of this, I think. They're going to have these mixed use approves and they're going to come in with high density residential and We just got to take a bite of that unpleasant sandwich and approve it. But if we just take it out, then they've got to come do it individually. They're going to have to come get it. If they're going to do, and full disclosure, that's my company. That was my firm that he was representing. I mean, they'll come in there and they switch it out. And it's usually at the developer's request, but they switch it out. And it is…”

“the second aspirational well and and the reason being is i think time is of the essence that interchange is going to be here and the developers are already wringing their hands they know what's coming golden bear they're already wringing their hands i think we need to i don't want to sound well whatever i don't want to sound too abrupt but i think we need to put an end to it so that we've got something to stand on, or else these things are going to get continued and shoved at us, and we won't have anything to stand on.”
