“Thank you. Thank you, staff, for that presentation. This is a couple of additions to what we had recently. So I'll just talk through this condition five and condition 11. Considering what this stage is and what the music has already been, what did you say, five other times they've had, seven other times they've had musicians there, assumingly mostly acoustic musicians, And you're saying that that's a typical condition. And I do believe we had that recently on Prince Street with a similar condition. But a permanent in-house sound system that would probably take up all of that stage. It's just…”

“I don't disagree. I'm not saying we need to have it at the level of let's up and plan how and number but yeah, I just think it's a lot. So for example, the buskers to play at Lee and King Street to they have a sound engineer.”

“I just had a question for staff real quick. We talked in the briefing about... reaching out or talking to T&ES about potentially making Howell Avenue no turn on red.

“Along these same lines, this is a private alley. We have no enforcement authorization. If someone's parked back there, APD can't write them a ticket. It's not a fire lane. The fire department can't write them a ticket. How would we enforce that, I guess? And I equate it to where I live, where we have no parking areas, but the HOA has a tow service that we get it towed, and then whoever's car it was has to pay it. Is that what we're envisioning here? I just see it as an enforcement problem for the...”

“I just want to say like this project like the other two we did it seems like they're all in the same basic area There's gonna be some great additions to the neighborhood around there and I just think I REALLY LIKE THIS ONE. I LIKE ALL THREE OF THEM REALLY TONIGHT. SO I'M GOING TO SUPPORT IT.

AND HAVING THE FRONT DOORS FACE SAMUEL MADDEN SOUTH WHEN THAT'S DONE IS GOING TO BE A COMMERCIAL AREA. Made the right move there, and I also really, really like the…”

“Just checking. I guess you could. You can't do it legally. Okay. Okay. And that's really about it. There's a lot going on there, but, again, they're still waiting for their new director. And the other thing I want to mention is I was talking to the chair about it, the Braddock West development that we approved. probably a year or two years ago now. And then they came back for an extension. They're having a community meeting on the 9th at Charles Houston. I really don't know what they're going to discuss. Maybe the director has some insight on that. The developer is hosting the meeting.”
