“And the cutoff switch. Does that one require like a permit? The electrical code requires a cut-off switch. Right. No, remember it has to be with an X amount of feet. When we talked about the one at Town Square and then they made retrofitted, had to go back and do that at the ones at the apartment complex. So it's not in code. It has to be there at the site so that someone can see what it is. It just has to be with an X amount of feet. But we required it in those two.”

“Well, I appreciate it, Erin. You kind of opened up a little bit of what my concern was. It is concern for the other... Facility that we just gave approval to it's still being Built so I do have definitely share your concerns.

“Yeah, I guess, and I share the concern of, well, what if the whole place turns into pool tables and gaming, and we just keep the kitchen because we're going to serve?

And actually the majority, do we have like a percentage that we have to have seated restaurant style to allow for it to be a restaurant that just has accessory table tables?”

“And I appreciate that because I can see that we could potentially go down that route. If I was going to go down that route, though, I would want to include something about this potential for the gaming and what we find out. I'm wondering if it would be appropriate for us to maybe deny even so that we can get more information about the gaming facilities and on what maybe the best amount to put for two tables, no more than two, or for the square footage that we want to put on the floor for tables. But that's kind of my thinking at the moment to share with my fellow commissioners.”

“Commissioner Johnson? And I am in support of it also. I thank you for the 10-year kind of, I think for the public would have been when they hear vinyl, would want to hear that. So I always try to remember that I'm addressing the public, not just the people that are sitting in the audience. So thank you for that. I too, and for the public knowledge, all three signs still meet the code for if you had one big sign. So you're still under the square footage that would be for that. So I think that's important to let the public know also. But I do think with that space when you drive by, it does…”

“I'm going to be honest, I'm confused because are we going to approve this and then we're going to go back and amend it? Is that what you're wanting to happen?”
