“I do have one correction, page eight, just on the top. It's just missing commissioner. It just says May asked if this would be. So it just needs a commissioner in front of May. That's it.”

“Thank you. And thank you for that invitation. Excuse me. something that I probably will be going and attending with my son. I appreciate that. Just in reports, I wanted just to let everybody know the things that I've done through the month. Just attended and watched the Citizen-Led Parking Committee meetings. If anybody doesn't know, the Citizen-Led Parking Committee is being shown on YouTube every Thursday, and it's also open to the public. And they're meeting in regards to the two possible sites, uh, for, for garages. So if anybody's interested in that, um, you know, it is open. Um, I…”

“I appreciate, uh, Commissioner Nemex bringing up the parking. Cause that was one of the issues that I had. He brought up some interesting points though, that I didn't, um, think about, which were interesting. And so I'm adding that to some of the questions that I'll be asking you. So I know the parking is based on, and it's probably for staff. So this is going to be a staff question because this is more based on code. So the existing building is 4,950 square feet. There is no additional square footage that he's adding to the existing building. So the existing building is 4,950 square feet. So…”

“Okay, so based on that, we're looking at 70 seats, which actually is more like 89 because I counted all the seats, which included the chapel and the offices and the conference room. We have 89 seats. So that includes, I guess, for the visitors and the existing staff. So based on 89, if you divide that by the 25% parking spaces. Well, if you divide that by the four, it comes out to 22.25. So if you round that up to 23 parking spaces, that leaves only two and we're sharing space. So the question that was not answered or wasn't provided, and I know there was a letter from the salon and the salon…”

“So we don't know what the salon needs on that. So that's questionable on that because I didn't pick that up until Commissioner Nemec had brought up the pictures about the salon, and it seemed like it was a pretty full place. I understand there's going to be overflow parking. I understand that he's going to be using that. And how much overflow parking is available across the street? That's the question I have.”

“All right. So we have 25. Yeah. We have 25 at the existing. Yes.”

“Perfect. Thank you. Thank you. So 25 for the salon slash funeral home and then 55 for church. Okay. So we are in need of, For you all, so that helps with the overflow. There's enough there for that. Now, going back to your services at the church, you're saying on Wednesdays you have 15 cars.”

“Okay, and is that a full house there on Sundays? Yes. Okay, so then those 55 cars, 55, sorry, parking spaces are used up.”

“I understand that. I was going to go back to that. But thank you. Because I wanted to make sure I put that on record. Yes. So your hours of operations are... There's a lot of information here.”

“No, it's okay. And I appreciate the commissioners jumping in because it helps. It's helped speeds up and it helps. Um, cause I know, I think they know where I'm going with on some of these questions. So I appreciate it. That's not an issue for me. Um, I see that there is a condition that we added on there for the location of the overflow parking. The question is, and I think was added, you will have a staff person that will manage the flow. Are you all going to be putting cones down just for safety issues because of the, since it is a street that people use?”

“Okay, perfect. And then... The question that I have, which we don't see a support letter from, is the mortgage company. I believe that's to the south. Is there entrance and exit on the south side onto Cluster? Do we know? Is there anybody here from... It says Southern Insurance on our aerial here. So the only letters that we received were from... The salon from the church and from Musco Lighting. Correct. So where is Musco Lighting on that map?”

“All right. So you're – I see the church. That's the church? That's the church. That's the church. Yes, ma'am. So then did we get a letter or did they want to participate, the people from the Southern Insurance or Mortgage? I'm asking staff. Did they provide a support letter? Because they would, I believe, be affected with the traffic or the parking –”

“Yes. John, and I'm not, I don't go down the streets very well and I don't know if anybody else can jump in in regards to cluster Oak. Um, if the mortgage company would say, for instance, it was packed and there was people crossing and there was, you know, a lot of people there, would they be able to leave their property and go, I guess, down to Brogdon Drive and then get off on US 27? They wouldn't be obstructed.”

“Perfect. But I see that there's, Even if they were there, it seems like they can go the opposite way and go to Brogdon Drive into US 27. Okay. I think that's all for me. And I appreciate, again, the commissioners for jumping in. Thank you.”

“No, there was no interruption whatsoever. Thank you. You're, again, bringing very good points. So my question again is to staff because I'm concerned about the salon. I don't know how many, I've been to that salon before so I'm trying to remember how many seats or how many chairs that place has. So I know that they're okay with it now, but once you have the 70 people, it might become a problem. So I don't know if there is a ratio of how many the salon can have versus a ratio of what the funeral home could have. And just because I've been to places where they have reserved parking spaces,…”

“Yeah, no, thank you very much. And, uh, yeah, I calculated 2,178 square feet for the, um, for the salon. Um, and then we do have enough handicap parking now that we are increasing the number of, um, Because I know we're looking at the handicap parking based on square footage of the building, but now that we're increasing the number of visitors, do we have enough handicap parking now?”

“Hey, Christian. So I read through this, and I think you added, I agree that we're trying to make it more objective versus subjective, especially with this HB 399, because it does require every local government to adopt objective, measurable criteria in its comprehensive plan and land development regulations, which is the reason why we're here to try to get these changes done work. when it comes to legalities, at least we'll have facts versus just because we just don't like it. Um, so, you know, I, I'm just going to go through some of the things and I think, um, I put my thoughts down as well.…”

“Great. I mean, violate's a pretty strong word, so... I mean, if they don't violate the land development code, I'm, I'm pretty good with that. So, uh, I, I understand the, the, the taking out of the proposed use may be considered desirable at the particular location because then that becomes subjective, which can open up, um, questions. Um, so I, I, I do agree that you're trying to put the guardrails, um, into this, into this ordinance now. When it comes to the additions that you added specifically under transportation, utilities, stormwater management, and then I have some additions and Oh,…”

“And I noticed, you know, when you try to do a multimodal, which is a pedestrian and a biker on that street, especially on 50th, there is no bike trails, it becomes a problem. So I think that we need to be specific on size if possible. I think that our standards should start looking, we should start looking at a minimum at least of eight feet. That should be our minimum. That should be our standard instead of the four to make this a success for the future. In regards to utilities, I talk about it all the time. I don't see anything about trees in here. I think trees has to be part of our…”
