“I have a comment or a a thought and I don't know if it belongs in this discussion or we can talk about it after the motion, but we've talked about a lot of text amendments. So I would really like to see before we do final reading for this, what those text amendments that we have on a list so that we can agree that, okay, like everybody agrees that, hey, here's the ones that we're going after. And I'll take it a step further in the sense that, There's going to be some of them that are going to be relatively easy to do, and there's going to be some that are not going to be easy to do, and…”

“I think, I mean, as we went through this in the subcommittee, I think this is a, this isn't a simple subject. This is complex. And I think we have to address it, but I don't think we can address it in this setting here. And we've got to, it's got to be addressed, I mean, as a text amendment.”

“It's saying consider allowing septic with larger lot sizes. so my question is you know is that how is that is are we leaving that to the planning commission to define that or how how do we want to do that we could you can give them a definition to take back or you can leave it to them to define so i mean that it's”

“septic and RN conservation where public water is available. And I don't, I mean, obviously not allowing shared septic and not allowing those individual septics to be in, I guess, community spaces. Like it can't count towards your open space. or anything funny like that i mean it would be creative i don't know if there needs to be language in there referencing um des or their standards or their review process or is that already part of the process and there's no need to add teeth into something that's already existing we”

“And then LDR is the same? I don't know if it matters. I mean, I guess you know what, that's fair enough. And LDR, I mean, I don't, if something's currently zoned LDR, I mean, that's probably a really good point. If they do conservation, it currently says that they can't do septic. So, I mean, you know, I guess you would duplicate it for LDR.”
