“So we're going to do the... site plan comes first, and then you're going to do all these amendments, variances? Is that what I'm getting from this?”

And if that, the SGP, with all of those variances, if the commission ends up making, there's a difference of opinion about those variances, we are going to hand it like an amendment to the question on the table. So somewhere in there, somebody is going to make a motion to approve And with that, I will say, is there any further discussion after we get a second? And then we can start amending it to our hearts of content. But it may be that the first one, we take a vote on it, we discuss it, we vote on it, it goes down. The second one, we discuss it, we vote on it, it goes up.…”

“Well, you can ask that question and then if that question is not answered quickly, reasonably quickly, and I don't know what that means, three minutes, two minutes, whatever, but then we're going to keep moving. And again, sometimes I think the commission, we kind of get astray. We start solving all the problems in the community instead of what's just in front of us tonight. And when that goes forward to the council, then that would be very appropriate. I'm sure they're going to hear quite a bit from the community on those issues.”

“And the 2016 site plan did have a gas station. Yes, sir. Are there electric Charging stations associated in this? No, they weren't on that plan. They weren't on that, okay. All right. Well, the way that I anticipate this happening, we have public hearings on six of these agenda items, but you can see that the latter two are the big advance, and there's probably going to be some interest there. So I'll make a statement to the folks that are out there to speak that they can talk to us under persons to be heard, or they can wait for the public hearing. So we may see quite a queue for persons to…”
