“Yeah. And we got those inherited trees around it. And the giant trees that we cut down and moved over here. Then it's not a big deal. If they're running on their backup generators 23 hours a day, then no, absolutely I don't want that here. I don't want them running on their generators. 30 minutes a day. They can test them and that's it. The only, I've got two points to make quick, and there was one thing I've noticed in the UDC that I didn't see modified here, but it's really more, I guess this is more around residential uses. I saw in commercial uses, we've got, I think it's CL4, allows for…”

“True, but we didn't vote on anything here tonight. So you may have heard some feedback from one or two individuals that five or six don't agree with, so we don't necessarily need that being reflected in a draft going out to the public.”

“We're not I think that goes back to my my comment, you know, I asked the question would you purchase a house in this community? Not how do you feel about this design standard? So what I'm hearing I'm Roughly counting. It sounds like we should go ahead and get this out public. You've got the community you've got the feedback for the questions that should be asked. Let's start garnering some feedback and then we'll see where it goes from there. We'll start making decisions.”

“Proactive, invited feedback. We have a list. I would hope so. I hope you've got a list. Go wide. And I'd love to see feedback from outside the region as well.

So let's get feedback from folks who might be interested in entering the market, not just those who are already there.”
