“And I didn't include professional offices, but future owners can come back and amend the development agreement or start from scratch. So if somebody really wants that, they could change it. But I'd rather limit it more right now than open it up to more things.”

“Yes. Because I know it's 12-foot buffering requirements. So there's two problems. And I hope this is OK if I share this. But in my conversation with the developer, there's a question about where their property line is. And right now, the current home is right up against the property line. And so he said he's willing to let that go and put put his wall where it is I didn't really originally I thought the 12-foot buffer next to the resident would be a good idea but then we have encroachment issues a future you know somebody buys a house in the future they can just assume that oh that's my…”

“I get, yeah, it's a good point that is usually we wait, but I don't think I would ever approve heavy commercial here. So it might be good just to clear that out of the air and let the option be residential as is or a development agreement. But that's me.”

“So yeah, I support this. guess coming directly to the city council i see this i mean this has to deal with tax dollars right it is a tax and we are the taxing body or tax taxing authority i suppose so i like that it's kind of a similar um process as our budgets are where we get to meet with the department heads and find out ask them questions directly so i like being having the opportunity to meet directly with applicants instead of having to ask the chair of a committee to answer the questions in behalf of the applicants, I guess. I would want to add on my preference would be to throw it in…”

“do they look at that when they're making their requests because that 10 to 30 percent we don't typically that sounds very predictable to them yeah we haven't typically communicated to applicants the percentage we communicate a dollar amount and the challenge i guess it's not predictable i prefer that it would be but it's a competitive grant so you know i think they know that they're not going to get They may or may not get what they ask for. It's a tough one. But I do just want to point out to the rest of the council that the requirement that it not be more than 50% of their operating…”

OK. Include in paragraph four to include just part 14 rather than 1401. I should just save this.

“so I appreciate this because obviously we found out there's a need right to kind of change it beyond what our standard educational parking requirements are I'm just wondering is it a little too narrow as far as the application like it's pretty specific about you know this these therapeutic services I guess And this might be down the road. We may pass this and then fix it later on. But I'm just wondering if there's other situations like that. This is the one we ran into. But it seems like there would potentially be other issues like this with other- Other similar uses? Yeah, where it's just a…”
