“Thank you. Could you go back to elevations? Yes. Thank you. At the very bottom, it indicates that that is the south elevation, which would be the wall that is facing Laurel Road. Is that actually the south elevation?”

“The details of how they arrived at the parking request of 173 spaces is included in our packet. If you simply take 62 tables, regardless of whether they are, they would see two or four or more. Just assume for a moment that everyone at that table came in one car. Then when you take a look at the number of bar stools, there are 14. Let's just assume that seven couples come. So there you've got 62 plus seven, not to mention the 50 employees. already over the 80 maximum that we have so we know we're going to have to exceed that maximum if we want texas roadhouse there is really what it's going…”

“Thank you. Thank you. Very thorough overview. I really appreciate this. And it really appears as though this is going to be data-driven. Yes. You hit on a number of key terms that I liked, in particular amenities, things, walking distance, and so forth. What I'm wondering, though, is when you look at the parks within Venice, we have quite a variety. We have Centennial Park that, for the most part, is a parking lot. It also has a gazebo and a water feature, but it's a parking lot. So when I think of that as a park, I don't necessarily put it in the same term as I would Pine Brook Park or…”

“So it is visible from the SMH campus, but you don't know what that building is because there isn't a name on it at all. So even if you knew it was on Curry, you wouldn't know the approximate location i'm not opposed to additional signage there perhaps the size is a bit overstated maybe that's the biggest concern that we would have because there are other buildings on curry lane that have medical features to them medical offerings, but that bottom right hand picture is what says to me it would be nice to have a sign there.”

“Thank you, Brittany. Could you go back to the surrounding land uses that slide? Thank you. I just wanted to point out for the record that to the south, there's not only Tusconus Isles, and you referred to this earlier, there's also a vacant parcel there that was before us in November previously. So there are really two areas, if you will, south of there. Correct. My second question is, when we reviewed that smaller parcel last November, we also discussed the impact of a community coming up to a private road and have we received permission to for a city's community to access that private road.”

“Sure yeah, let me just comment on the difference that I see and I'm looking at the plat as I say this. My major concern. on the prior application that we saw for Toscana Isle was the distance between Knights Trail and the entry into that proposed development. It was probably less than 100 feet. So it was a very quick turnaround that someone could turn off of Knights Trail at the prescribed speed limit and immediately turn into any vehicles entering or exiting that area. When we look at the one that is before us today, that back entrance is much further down the road. I don't disagree that it…”

“Any questions written in this one, thank you Brittany I really appreciate this sign layout it's very helpful gives us a great idea of what is coming in where it's coming my question was really related to. The Home Depot area will there be a sign. on their far east road, you know, it's in quite a bit from Laurel Road. Will there be a sign in that back right hand, it's gonna be the northeast section?”

“Okay, all right. It doesn't look like there's a shower, but there's definitely a sink and a toilet, so I just thought that was odd, and I wondered if that was the norm in other storage facilities that we've seen. I haven't seen this before.”
