“Yeah. The accessory structures in a commercial also allowed by permit, not by SGP. So what are we, are we thinking that we're going to allow just, you know, them to put up a Home Depot shed in the back of it? What is your thought there or the reason?”

“Well, since you bring that up, I'd like to go to Section F under site plan conformance, which states that there's going to be substantial conformance to the site plan, that no P&Z is required, and it will go straight to the city manager, not to city council. So I think I have a bit of an issue with... not having detailed information, not having a detailed site plan, and then asking us to say, we approve of you not coming back to the commission and not going to council.”

“Yeah, I still think I have some problems with not coming back before and not giving the public a chance to hear and see what you're proposing. Um, nor that the final plat would receive PNZ and I think in section G you probably also need to check that to also state that, uh, PNZ can only give you recommendations and it would have to go to city council. Um, so With that, I don't necessarily have a problem with brownstones being that we are an aging community, that we are, a lot of us, you would like us to leave our homes and downsize to allow the younger generation to come in, but there's not a…”

“Are you going to allow people to drive it? Yes. From the reading, it sounded like that was for emergency use only.”

“So again, if you did not find a parking spot and you circled, I could not circle there, right? So I just see that, yeah, I just see that as, from the schematics, it looks a little tight, you know? So I get that you're separating it from the brownstones. I really like the feel and the look. There's just, those two kind of stuck out. So Mr. Chair, I'll turn it back. Thank you.”

“So my next question is I think Commissioner Lice took care of traffic. I'm really concerned especially about going east on Keller Parkway and trying to make a left-hand turn into the store. That to me is is an accident waiting to happen. I mean, it backs up. And I had two children that went to Keller High. I drive here every night. And I know going up and down 1709, I spend hours at the sports park, so I get it. I know 1709 is highly trafficked, and at 5 o'clock you're going to sit through those lights, and God help you if you catch a train, because then you're going to sit, and you don't…”

“Is there a buffer wall? I'm a neighbor that lives on the other side of that green space. I see that there's an acre of land, but an acre of land doesn't buffer the sounds or beeping of backing up trucks. What times are those going?”

“So is there still a wall or something? Because sound travels through trees.”

“It's okay. I just know that when, you know, the other Kroger had... come before the commission, the neighbors came and said, look, I hear trucks, I hear the backup, I hear the noise, I hear the, you know, so I just want to make sure that in those cases, the houses were built after Kroger. In this case, you're building after the houses are there, so we have to protect the neighbors who were there first, just like you would want us to protect you. So let's talk about your neighbor to the east. So... The church is sitting there and it's going to look at your side wall, right? There's no…”

“Okay. So since you brought up lighting, can you talk to us about what kind of lighting is at the back of the store that's going to be around the neighbors?”

“All right, so since we don't have any open trash, It's all compacted. We're not going to have the trash dumps. That should help the neighbors with some of those because I know that that was a concern previous at the, when the other Kroger. We haven't talked much about your request for the fuel pump. So why the deviation from what's in our UDC?”

“But you're requesting five instead of four? Five, yes. And that's to match what's down at the other store, or what's the reason for five?”

“Okay. And are you planning on putting in a local cafe at this store as well? I mean, since you showcased it?”
