“Okay, that was a question I had And then this is not a hard and fast question but a curiosity and as much for my colleagues as the two of you Is is there or was there considered some type of like temporary conditional use permit that allows the lambs to be raised but this is not necessarily like an ongoing designation.”

“So they're like, for example, like I have to read my notes cause I thought this through, but I want to get it right. Um, so draft a tiered farm animal designation, um, rather than gross lot size. Just trying to think of instead of a yes or a no. And if you just tell me, Marcy, it's a yes or a no.”

“And it's partially because what is being requested is very specific. It's just what's being requested is add Add agriculture designation to our current zoning correct. That's what's being requested. So it's a yes or no on that request Okay. Oh Sorry, I heard oh, whoa. I think I triggered something So who was first just on the on the code.”

“OK, so I'd love to share just thoughts. I have a couple of questions, most of my questions you've already addressed. So I'm going to skip over those. Let me make sure I start with, I'm not going to even ask that one. I don't think it's a good use of our time. I can do that one separately. Let me make sure I'm not, yeah, I'm going to hold off. That one can wait too. So I'm just going to share high level, because I know what you're hoping or seeking is just where are we in response to what you've presented, and what might you need to hear from us, and then what might you do with what you hear,…”

So I saw some recommendations that I felt like aligned to both of those that I think are the priorities for me. So I like number three. I'm just calling it the…”

“Yeah, that's what I'm clarifying. So again, if one of my criteria, if one of the things I'm looking for is flexibility and helping homeowners see potential in staying in Sandy, in their children potentially living in Sandy, all of the things that we've been discussing for several years now. So that's one of the reasons I like that. And I think that one also is a lower cost. It helps them accomplish the goal as a lower cost, as long as it's done within our parameters. So I like, OK. I like number five. I like the 10,000 threshold. I think that, based on what I calculated, that increases…”

“Yeah. OK. So earlier we did receive some recommendations from staff as well. which I think is part of tonight's conversation. So I'm going to just kind of kick off the conversation about what's been shared, because there was a lot in what staff drafted that I really, really like. So I'm going to kick off those conversations. I did share some little, you know, the teacher in me shared a few things. So there were a few typo things that I've already shared. But I want to just say that I support the adjustments that Dustin and Justin have recommended. And I think it's important that I share a…”
