“So are we going to move forward with a motion, or are you going to do an amendment? I had another question.”

“Yeah, I agree. So yeah, the only comment I have on this thing is that Just as we did on the earlier reading, I think that we have an opportunity to really get this right as we move forward with each of these projects. I think it's important that the applicant does meet with the community on this and does set up meetings to move forward to have discussions around what else do we need to add in for additional restrictions on here as we move forward. But I think the consensus here is that We're going to include whatever is on this list here, plus what Walmart had for deeded restrictions. And…”

“I guess I'll start off. When we talked about this last meeting, I'll just express my concern. Laura, I'm going to direct this question over to you.”

“Yes, sir. Okay, all right. So when it came to the discussion we had last time, the concern I had was when we had two or three people that are wanting to do this, but yet we're affecting multiple people. The concern was, what was the long term ramifications down the road, and how could we foresee additional concerns coming out of this motion? based on this amendment, how do you feel like that addressed that concern?”

“Yeah, so I guess, you know, the overall concern when we start making broader policy changes is, you know, what is the long-term effect that we can't predict, right? on this and especially when you have two or three people that need this and how can we streamline that process but not kind of pull everybody into this mesh, right? So having said that, I guess my concern is that when I listen to what was proposed here, does it in your eyes clarify some of the concerns we had last week?”

“So the last question I guess I have on this, and I'm going to think about what you just said. If you have a property, say you've got one acre here and then you've got a property in between, you get two acres over here. In order to quantify or qualify under that, the two properties somehow have to connect, correct?”
County Council · Sep 8, 2026

“Right. So everything's, no matter what, it has to connect in some manner. Yes, sir. Okay.”

“So when this thing was first, when they originally came to you, was there, I thought they had applied for a grant for this construction.”

“So they hadn't applied for additional grants to move forward with the construction piece?”

“So each of the correct, so when I'm looking at the request for evaluation of following weighted criteria, documents, graphics, facility condition, et cetera, is that an overlay of how this was evaluated on the county level, or is this something that was structured in order How was this piece of it structured? I guess coming up with these numbers.”

“So did we, I guess, because this is the first time seeing, maybe I didn't see this, and it might fall if I haven't seen this, but did we approve this as a council, or how did we come about coming with this matrix?”
County Council · Sep 8, 2026

“So it's something we haven't, we're seeing this for the first time based on the fact that you guys just structured it. And we'd love any feedback you have.”

“guess looking at this you know my concern here is is the second part of line one when the facility transfers the ownership transfers to your county how i mean this I'm just concerned the extenuating costs that would impact the county overall from a long-term perspective when we do that. And the other concern is the local ownership of this facility, et cetera. I think, again, those are two concerns that I think I have just off the top of my head just looking at this, David.”
County Council · Sep 8, 2026

“Well, those are the, those are the extenuating concerns that I have when, when I, when we see ownership of the facility. Well, when you say who's liable. Yeah.”

“Okay. So when we, when we rate roads, you know, and we look at the, we looked at the existing impact of the road itself. The question I think that you're also raising here is how do we overlay future growth and how does that factor into the impact on that road based on that? Yeah. Um, and, and when it comes to funding, then that plays in, that plays a role on how we can predict where we need to put more road funds.”
