“There's like a fence there, right? Or something that blocks it? I can't remember.”

“So sorry, can you go back for a second? You said there were some concerns about that corner. Are they real concerns or are they not real concerns?”

“So how long do we live in F and D before improvements are actually put in? Because I'm hearing that we approve it, they start making changes to the site plan and traffic actually starts following.”

“Is the applicant actually here? Can I ask you a question? Yes, could you? Sorry, I know everybody wants to get to Kroger. I promise it's really quick. Yes, ma'am. Hi. Hi. It looks like a relatively small space. I'm just curious if you guys are going to limit the amount of pets you're going to be boarding. Is there a limit on the size? It just looks like really small. There's not any outdoor space to take these dogs.”

“My question is actually more for staff. So I appreciate that it's not going up here in Keller. We're trying to keep things low. We're trying to keep things low key, but still have our businesses thrive. It is definitely going out. Are there other examples of signs that we have done this for that are this large for other businesses? I can just see us starting this path of, well, now my business should need a sign because my business isn't”

“I'm not going to harp on the other things that have already been said. I only had a couple more things I just wanted to point out. I am a little concerned about the section that you guys talked about for the parking spaces, that you're not going to have that two-foot curb. And so we all own trucks. Mm-hmm. We can all say that we're all gonna park in. That's not gonna happen because everybody and their moms thinks that they can back into a space better. So trucks here backwards into where people walk.”

“I can appreciate wanting space for pedestrians and not wanting to take away the greenery and the beautiful project that you guys have put together. Envisioning my toddler walking on a crosswalk and then having somebody trying to pull in and not having that barrier gives me great pause. So that's all I wanted to throw out there. And then for, I just wanna harp on, I'm sorry, harp on one thing. The accessory dwelling that we were talking about earlier. Can I just, for staff, what does that mean? The accessory dwelling as part of a preliminary structure? Does that mean what I think he thought it…”

“Okay, so I would just say that should probably be an SUP if not allowed at all, because that just didn't quite make sense to me.”

“And that makes total sense, but that's not the same.”

“That'd be great. And then I think I agree with my fellow commissioners and the lovely gentleman who came in to speak is that I can appreciate that you guys want to get things started and I think that this is beautiful. I don't want to stand in the way of beautiful but it's beautifully vague, and I think that that's necessary for many parts of your project, but I think that for me, in my community, I think it is too vague for me to say if you just meet the blurred image, it's good enough, and I think it will require more times to come back, so I am hesitant to give a blanket okay. Even though…”

“I think I I hope that all All of you gentlemen feel the positivity that we have for this planned development, and I do not wish to see it sink in the water. I am just hearing a lot of things that have come up, and I would suggest instead of us trying to piecemeal it together, you were taking very good notes of our thoughts and feelings somewhat. I would motion that we actually move to deny as is rather than try to pick it apart line by line with different amendments for how we all feel in different ways. So just to clean it up, I would recommend that we deny as written and I would encourage…”

“My intention is to get you to city council. We are a recommending body that what we saw here is not what I would recommend in total. We had a few things that if you make changes, I foresee very positively that it would be taken by council. I can't promise what they're going to do, but my hope is that if we just vote on it, that you will then be able to get to city council with some of these changes, and hopefully it will be able to pass through there. So this is my goal. My intention of denying this as is is just to drive a point home of the different pieces that we were not comfortable with.…”

“Gentlemen. We made it. I think I'm the last one. I promise not, again, to belabor the point. I have two questions for you. Why has it taken 10 years for you guys to come back and do this again?”

“I hope that this comes out correct. It's at midnight, so I might fumble my words a little bit. I can appreciate the effort that has been put into this project and it looks beautiful. I think as a Keller community member, if I were sitting out in those seats, I still don't know that I understand what is the benefit to me for you to build this nice, beautiful, big building and have another one right across the street that you have that we don't yet have a buyer for, that's the same premise of the building. Can you just explain to me in simpleton terms for me at midnight, why this is a good…”

“I think my last comments are I can appreciate that development is important and that it will potentially bring in, well it won't, it will bring in a lot more traffic, it will bring in more people, and in some cases that is a good thing. But I don't know that I'm convinced that this is the right move for our community to other people's points that we have lots, what you are bringing in are more things that you offer are not necessarily that we can't find other places in our community that are actually really close by. And I'm having a hard time with I like how it looks, but I don't know that…”

“Guys, I'm so sorry. So the athletic stadium. is that I'm sure we're using some sort of structure that we're building off what other cities have done for their ordinances or something along those lines. It just, I don't know how I feel about athletic stadiums going up everywhere without anybody asking about it.”

“The fact that I was not born in Texas is probably coming out right now, and everybody else is like, why would you not want a stadium? I don't know. If nobody else feels strongly about it, that's the only one that stood out to me.”

“I think I agree with Commissioner Farner. I think it is a different scenario when you buy a home and you have a list of possibilities because of what's already there. you take something old down and you want to refresh it, you want to make it better, and then now you're not able to put back up what was already there, feels very different than somebody coming to us and now wanting to build on their property line in a new fashion. It feels different, and I think would be clearly different if this had not already been a structure that was there, and obviously had bought something and made plans…”

“And I think the fact that none of your neighbors are here and nobody wrote anything for something that's being built basically on your property line says that you most likely spoke to your neighbors, and I think that was great.”

“respect that statement. I think that makes a whole lot of sense. I do think it feels different when it is a person who owns a property. So if we're talking about businesses and we're talking about Old Town and we're talking about different things, in my mind it feels like from the prospect of an owner, You have this land that you bought that had something, and your neighbors all feel okay with it. It just feels different, I think, when it's the one person who has their own land, their own home, and that's how they bought it, and they're trying to upgrade it. So I don't know. It feels slightly…”

“So the variance is just because of the size of the lot? Why is the variance 13 feet?”

“I just had one quick question. Is there any reason why it can't go in front of the current garage if it's just for parking?”
