“Okay. Thank you. I'll ask the applicant here. And the way this thing is shaping up, apparently, a motion to deny, with all the conversation, the council will listen to all this conversation. You fellows, ladies, have listened to the conversation. And if you wanted to make changes to it before it got to the council, that would be appropriate. And then they would consider it at that time. Option two is that we could table it and you come back to a date certain, not forever, and that would give you time to just adjust it as it is right now, and then we would reconsider it.

“I think people seem to think that when they table it and they get to rework it, and we go through another discussion, we could end up in another box canyon where we just don't quite have all the facts to make a decision.

“So you want to move forward with the process tonight. I think that's a good way to move it forward. And any changes or whatever, any adjustments that might be made can be made.

But right now, you would be able to go to the council as we fleshed it out tonight with whatever the vote turns out to be.”

“All right. Thank you. He is correct. So if everybody feels confident that they are ready, we'll just do it by a show of hands, that they're ready to vote, that they've heard enough, Please indicate affirmative with a show of hands. And it looks like that's unanimous. So thank you. We are now going to vote on the motion. The motion is to deny. So if you vote in the affirmative, you're voting to deny. Negative would be the opposite, obviously. So with that, let's vote. Okay, that motion to deny passes four to two. And once again, I have to... All right. So again, unless you request otherwise,…”
