“Okay, and I'm really kind of addressing that to our staff. But were there not improvements when you were doing that presentation with actually what they were doing? Because it gets very confusing because you had the three areas. The top is their existing, and you can see there's red in the existing. We have an existing problem, whether Kroger goes in there or no one else goes in there. And then you have some improvements, because if you look at the top, that's existing, and you look at the bottom, there is some areas where they have improved with some of the improvements they want. It's the…”

“But what they are doing, and I was just wanting the public to understand is, by the what they are doing, they're actually fixing some of the problems that we do have. They are adding a turn lane there in front of CVS. It's going to be that's not there existing now. Now one of my concerns though is, and I think it was Commissioner Farmer talked about, is that left turn off of 1709. I have a big concern with that because there's two other places that that occurs where it makes a cross path. One of them is down at the Ace Hardware going to Chandler. I use that a lot because I live up that way,…”

“Yeah, because up in the top one, we already have some E's that we're already having in our southbound that exists today. So it's, we today don't have all those in C, and so I just want to at least point that out to the public that there is some improvements that are going on. Now, that being said, there were a couple of other things is, and this gets to the sound for especially the neighbors that are behind I noticed in the presentation that you want to do things in the back until 11 o'clock at night. I think that might be getting kind of late to be delivering trucks and things. And there was…”

“Yeah, we had some of these issues at another point.”

“So I'm just saying that we might want to... And you did explain, because I was wondering about the four to five pumps, so I'm a little more comfortable with taking it to the five for the reasons that you were talking about and allowing the diesel, because diesel is not at every station that's... allowed. The other thing was potentially, you know, we usually have foundation plantings that are up on the front of the buildings and things, so if you look at some of the strips, some of the solutions, because you have none, is to at least make some planters with some plants, and you can do the…”

“And I don't mind the artificial turf, but I was thinking that some of the planners that we've required.”

“Yeah, that we've done up on 1709, especially with the town center, some of the things that we put in. The only other question is, could you do a little more explaining about where the storage is that you want year-round outside with what things there will be? Because I've seen it in front of the summertime with a few chairs and tables and Is that the type of things we're talking? Are we going even further than that since it's a bigger?”

“So it's not like storing the shopping carts or anything out in the front?”

“Well, we were, where I got confused with that was we were in discussion and you started talking about a motion and a motion wasn't on the floor. So all I said was we need to make a motion. Then you called for a motion. And then, because you had changed some of it, then we needed to You said, which is right, we have to make the motion to then even get to the second. Because I didn't get called on. I was on the list waiting to be called, and we were stuck on Ross, and we were still in the discussion phase. And then that's when I went, whoa, wait a minute, we're not in the motion phase.”

“Well, I don't think in this case none of us knew what we were voting on. And I think with what you're getting to, what I expected was, because we were all pretty much in consensus with you, was that the original motion would have already had it in it. Because in Robert's Rules, we don't have to do exactly the wording. And I heard you say that. It's on there. We could have already put in that original motion what you wanted to say. Because you could have made the motion and said, and since I don't have it in front of me, but with the caveat that we want to not put in residential. That could…”

“He was going to put the amendment, he was going to state it, because I was sitting beside it. We were going to, I think I was the second on it. We were going to state it already in the beginning with what was written there with it already in that language. You can't do that. Yes, you can't. No, you can't have it.”

“I think I'm in agreement with Commissioner Leist. I have a little bit of difficulty with the fact that it's right up against the fence line. And then the size, and I don't know if you're going to be able to answer or the staff, but the size of the old carport, was it the same as this? Is this not a larger carport than what was there before? Because you mentioned one car. That's why I'm asking. I know it's taller. Yeah, but it's not taller than the house. Okay, that was another question. And then looking at the structure, it's just going to be the steel. It's not going to be the same materials…”

“From the pictures of the structure, it's not going to be all the way to the ground then, is that correct?”

“Okay, so then it potentially will block some of the drainage from your driveway into this gully that you were describing, it sounds like.”

“Okay, so yeah, I think my biggest issue is that it's up against the fence, but let me consider what my fellow commissioners have to say. Thank you.”

“issues like Commissioner Lice does, and it's the same issue that I had with the last, is we're getting closer to the line, and that's why we have a certain amount of easements. The concrete work, just to get to what Commissioner Farmer had to say, the concrete work isn't underneath the same as a structure. And so just because the pad is there doesn't mean that we can build it as big as that is for the concrete work. I do see that you've got the garage, and it's right on that line that is right to the 13-foot build line. So if this carport was coming off of it, where it could go over into what…”

“It's to redraw those property lines. I'm sorry? They're replatting so they get past that legal. Correct.”

“It's just the one sign looks out of proportion to the chalk and steel. The billiards and darts just look so much larger.”

“So if these were two individual buildings, this is as big as the sign could be if this was subdivided and they were separate.”

“Right, that's the sign, because it just looks so out of place. I mean, size-wise. Yeah. Yeah. looks bigger than if you go to that.”

“So then maybe if we're going to ever look at this sign ordinance, we need to think about potentially the grades of the vinyl for this. We'll leave it out and just say it's quality materials, right?”
