“Well, no, it's a wave of motion and a second. Do you have a comment?”
“Where were all of these suggestions and ideas during the two other public meetings that we had about this?”
“I don't know if we have the authority to, yeah, I don't. Obviously, the village attorneys will let us know how to do that if it's legal.”
“Madam Clerk, go ahead and call the roll.”
“The motion was made and that passed said, we're gonna study this more and have another vote before August. And there were requests made for all kinds of information. So I would suggest that any commissioner who would like specific information studied to send an email to the village manager and he'll make sure that that information is studied so that we have an item on the agenda in May if it needs to be deferred again to june we can defer to june but let's keep this on the item on the agenda so that we're not forgetting about it even if it needs to be deferred we can do that does that work i…”

“I got a hearing tomorrow. I'll be up. We're up. Okay. We're moving on. Speaking of hearings to.”
“Yes, absolutely. They're scheduled for public hearing today.”
“The fee schedule was deferred. We're now going to hear the LR development applications on their merits, understanding that we did not update the fee schedule and that the fees that they're articulated in the development agreement are the controlling fees.”

“All of these things. Commissioner Acosta has a question. Thank you.”
“All right, so here's where I become... I don't... Just because... You know, people weren't ready to modify the fee schedule tonight doesn't mean that the property owner should now be disadvantaged by having to delay his public hearing and all of these people who came here to make public comment about the application. Deferring a development approval should not be done without a really good reason. We can vote no on the project. That requires a very good reason too, but to defer them and force them to bring all of their consultants back next month and to force all of our residents to come back…”
“I understand. Public comment can't make comment unless there's a public hearing. I'm okay with that too.”
“Okay, so we're going to do the site plan first. I'm going to let Tony continue.”
“Tony, if members of the public are going to make comment, they need to be sworn in as well. So let's try that again.”
“Guys, it's best to just get sworn in and then chicken out later. So please get sworn in.”

“Okay, let's go. I'd like to see the presentation on the site plan. I'm interested also in the TPLA application because of the relocation of the drainage easement. I really do want to drill down into the drainage. Do you have your civil engineer here, Graham? Okay, perfect. So let's do the site plan presentation and the TPLAT presentation, and then we'll hear from the applicant and the residents, and then we'll sort of take the development agreement like interwoven through that. Does that make sense at all?”
“Right? I mean, because you can advise on the specific terms of the development agreement as they are discussed in the context of those other things. Sure. Okay, site plan and T-Plat application. Our village planner, Craig Pinder, ladies and gentlemen. Why am I nervous?”
“neighbors, when the applicant is finished making their presentation, then we're gonna open the public hearing and that's when you'll have the opportunity to speak and ask questions.”
“Graham, does that conclude your presentation?”
“Okay, thank you, Graham, thank you to the architect and to the applicant team for presentation. Okay, so we're going to open the public hearing now. I'm going to invite anyone who would like to speak on any of the items, whether it's, yeah, Graham, just take it all down.”
“I would, I think if we start the commission discussion now, it could just.”
“Let's let the public speak based on the information provided by the planner and the presentation from the architect. Gentlemen, if you could move your easel so that the public is not obstructed, that would be great. Okay, so neighbors, now is your turn. Please raise your hand or come up to the podium. Jen, go ahead. We're going to HAB-Masyn Moyer- Instead of like if anybody is really excited about something that is said we're that we're not clapping there's no clapping in in village Commission meeting so instead. HAB-Masyn Moyer- guys, please stop blocking the residents view of the day, so…”
“Thank you. Who would like to go next? Please.”
