“Commissioner Glassman. Before I vote, Mayor, I just want to ask the City Manager, with regards to this item, On August 23rd, on NBC National News, there was a very enlightening piece done about safety as it pertains to e-bikes. The startling number of accidents, the startling number of injuries across the nation is really something to pay attention to. Will this grant program enable us to in any way talk about that kind of safety, or is it just... your typical bicycles and pedestrian safety, or will there be any opportunity to educate about safety with regards to e-bikes?”

“I'm sorry. Just one quick question. I apologize. So maybe if you could just expound upon the fact, so there were three motions, right? At a board of adjustment.”

“But could you classify this structure as an accessory dwelling unit? I don't think it has everything that you would need to define an accessory. Well, it doesn't matter.”

“I know, but I just would like to know the answer to that. Would this structure qualify even as an accessory dwelling unit? I don't think so.”

“Thank you. Do you mind? I have a question. Sure. And I have very mixed feelings about this because it's an interesting case. You have to understand what's happening on all sides. But when I listen to what you're saying, so let me ask you this question. If you wanted to get these variances in the future or anyone else, are we basically saying just hire an unlicensed contractor and then use that as a reason for you to get the variances?”

“I understand what you're saying. I'm hearing other things, though. I'm hearing that we should take into consideration other factors. But again, I'm nervous about that because once you do that and you say to someone, we feel bad that you hired an unlicensed contractor, maybe that should have been vetted before you hired the contractor, then we're saying to anybody else, hey, just go hire an unlicensed contractor and tell us you got taken. I mean, am I making any sense at all or am I looking at this the wrong way? Never mind. It's a rhetorical question. Thank you.”

“Just that, does the motion also have to include setting that de novo hearing with a date, or is that a separate motion?”

“I just think it's nice. It's nice. I agree. It might be confusing if we have a Brickell Avenue and a Mary Brickell Avenue. People might get a little confused. I don't know. All right, we'll bring it back. Yeah, all right.”
