“Yes, no, good points. Can we... ask questions at this time of the applicant and then I can close the hearing and then we can have further discussions. So I do have a question for the applicant. Are you still online? Yes, sir. All right, so there were three very concerned neighbors of yours who made it quite clear that there's a lot of traffic and a lot of truck traffic. So this restaurant that you're going to do, is it primarily for truckers or is it for everyone in the community? That's my first question and I got another one after that.”

“So the discussion is for the commissioners and the decision is going to be commissioners and we'll leave it there. Any comments? Okay. I understand and I heard everyone from the French Camp area about this project today. However, we're here to decide on if all the procedures were followed properly. And from what I can tell and what I've read, everything was. And if it's true of what he said, which I'm taking as that, I don't think we have a choice but to move forward in the affirmative and pass this on. So if no one else has a comment, I'm gonna ask for a motion and we'll go from there.”
