“Would that 7.5 times 17 be all that you put it on? You wouldn't try to apply 17 times the entire yellow boundary?”

“But if we're talking about density on an area, the density is calculated on either the total area or a part of it. So if you put 17 units an acre on seven acres or seven and a half, that's the 208 we're talking about. But if you do the 12, it's...”

“As long as you tell me you're going to limit it to 17 times 7.5, I'm okay with that. But I don't want it to come back to that we're doing 17 times 12.”

“Well, I think what you're hearing from up here is everybody's expecting now 208 times 17 because it's, I mean, yeah, because that's seven and a half acres. But I know if we're approving it, it is for the entire yellow area. Correct. And you can put that whole density on your seven and a half acres. It's not like you couldn't. I mean, you can go higher. I'm all about height. I like it. I think it's great. I just want to be clear on what we're approving and everyone else is approving, understanding it too.”

“Where we're at, I don't have any issue with the density there, honestly. All I'm saying is so everybody understands, we're not talking about 208. So if everyone gets in their mind, okay, we can probably deal with that, it could be more than 208 is all I'm bringing up. I think density there is phenomenal, I do. I know that the water sewer's there, I know it's the right place for it, and I know the height would be okay there. This isn't being subdivided out as a single parcel, correct?”

“What is the height limit on buildings in this zoning? Is it 45? I believe it is.”

“Well, that's what I was asking originally, because I thought that I didn't do the math well enough in my head. I was thinking that that area times 17 was 208. And then the other corner up where the Wilmington Health Building is, it's still in this yellow, the other 4.8 acres. I did a bad math calculation. So the 208 is the total number they could put in on this yellow block, period.”

“Other than to say I do agree, the density is where it needs to be in this project. Barclay is a great project. Never was that in any question. I wanted to make sure the density numbers were what we were talking about, but I will support it wholly. Thank you.”

“Not a lot of comments. I would like to thank the outgoing commission because I do believe that we have been a very, very good group together, and we do think about things in different ways, which makes it For good discussion, sometimes way too lively and way too long, but good discussion. Chairman Lennon, you've done a great job this last year. We appreciate everything you've done and certainly hope you'll sit out a year and come back.”
