“Okay. And it seemed to me, and you can correct me if I'm misunderstanding, the biggest change to the traffic pattern that's deleterious is going from the dedicated right turn lanes north and south going to through and right? Are those the ones that are getting worse?”

“Yeah, so my question is, are you concerned that essentially you're going to cut your ingress and egress by half, but then you're doubling the size of your store? What does that do to your parking lot traffic flow? We're not analyzing that, but are you concerned about what that does inside the parking lot and then also what it does to create lines coming in and coming out of your property?”

“Got it. Yes, I think for me to be, I mean, I know it's going to be at a substantially higher cost to Kroger, but I think that I would feel a lot more comfortable if we were to find a way to get those dedicated right and left-hand turn lanes. And it might not be doable, but I think that would be really important to do. But then my only other question that is not traffic-related is just about possible tenant for your current store. When you vacate, do you have anything for us? I know we are excited to bring new businesses to town. I don't think anyone in color is looking forward to bringing a…”

“Yeah, you're right. Yeah, it's got nothing to do with this one. Well, so we can, I mean, the vote's essentially meaningless because it's not germane to the item at hand, right? Okay, well, so then we should just vote on the SUP.”

“This is just for all of the uses. So I'll motion to approve item E6 as presented. It's just related to the uses.”

“I have no issue with that. The vote wasn't germane, so it can just be struck is my understanding. Right?”

“Just thinking like the setback stuff, like is there, like for this one in particular, is there anything regarding the property that is requiring it to enter the setback? I'm thinking from, this is more of a ZBA lens, but we're thinking of variances. makes it have to go in. I mean, it's not there now, but they want it. Is there a need to be in the setback because of something unique on the property?”

“I wasn't here, but that was the one thing that I was going to offer. Obviously, we've done this before. If we all feel there's consensus on a change that needs to get made, we make a motion with the change. With that change already made. And that's what I thought.”

“The weird thing is, and you have brought this up before. You already brought it up. we talk a lot and then we make a motion. That's why we don't have a lot of amendments because we talk before we make a motion. But that's where it gets backwards. It's kind of backwards.”

“Okay. Just thinking about this application, can we, are there other instances recently we can think where we have approved, like this isn't, to me like the issue here is not even just, we're not talking about in the setback by six inches, this is like it's almost wholly enclosed within the setback area. Is it common or have we approved anything recently similar?”
