“The youngest council member, and he writes checks.”
“Mayor Bruner. I also want to say, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff Cornelius, over here, sir. I want to thank Jeff Cornelius for running this through to the government, to Governor Little. So thank you. Thank you very much.”
“Daniel, here's the problem. The problem is that we have first was TDS, and then there were three others that followed, now this one. And they tear up yard, and they tear up again.”
“Okay, please don't interrupt me. So now we're going to have more damage to each yard, irregardless of what this company does. They're asking us to give them the right-of-way. Now, I get it that that's what they're supposed to be doing, but I don't feel comfortable with so many of these Internet providers that come in through our city, damaging the property that was already fixed from another one from the previous incident. So I think we need to kind of put a little hold on or present a better packet to us so we can start saying yes and make sure that we have access to those who are…”
“Sabrina. Yes. How does... R is for equal medium density.”
“Do you follow up, Mayor? Yes. So if you could pull up the diagram of the plat, it's showing all the apartments and houses. You have, okay, to the east, I believe, those lots look smaller than the others. So that's 13 to 25. What is the distance between each residence?”
“No, and I'm not talking about setback. From the space between each residence. You're talking about the sides?”
“Yes. Just a quick. So you talk about all these intersections that are going to be constructed and made better, apparently. So is the money that's going to fund these intersections going to come from taxpayers, from the developers or from grants?”
Not quoted here: it may name a member of the public. Hear it at the meeting.
“LaRae? I said five words to you, didn't I? Hello, Lurie, thank you for your information.”
“Cam? Yes. Okay, I need to clarify this. Please. You own that property. That's your property. Correct. Why didn't you build 400 houses or 1,000 houses out there on your property that you could have made a heck of a profit?”
“There's a long list of what I observed here. If you notice, when Todd Lakey spoke at the very beginning, he mentioned 1024, and that is the annexations. And so, therefore, we have the ability to say yes or no based on the requirements that are on for those annexations. In hearing him and then hearing you, you all said the same thing. Density, public safety, environment, best suited for this area, fiscal impact, I have yet to hear that yet, for the taxpayers. Is it reasonable and necessary? No. Is it landlocked? Yes. There's only two ways in and two ways out because west is blocked, south is…”
“I move to deny annexation and zoning to RS4, single-family residence, RMH, based on, well, do you want me to read the whole thing or just go to the code?”
“There's not. I will reference code for the denial, which supports the denial, is 1024I1 and 10243, so regarding the denial.”
“Matt's here. The front line of the pack was right here.”
“Yes, sir. Yes. When you talk about 55% of what?”
“Yes, sir, I do. The building surrounding the airport and runway is not in direct line. So that's why those other buildings, businesses were annexed and approved, correct? This property is in line of the airport.”
“Yes, and that was my question, is part of that corner is... interfering with or could interfere with the runway, correct?”
“Okay, now one follow-up. Based on the type of business, the light industrial business, What is the safety factor for the residents in that area should there be an accident or a crash or something flammable such as airplanes?”
“I'm just talking about the safety of the neighborhoods.”
“I don't know, does it? That's what I'm asking.”
“Yeah, I think it's on point. Okay, go ahead and respond, please.”
“That's right. No, I just want to make sure.”
“Okay, Councilman. Thank you, sir. You know, all night tonight I've been hearing light industrials, compatibility, and that's the direction of the airport. It's the direction of our zoning areas. And you know what? It could be compatible with but does it make sense? That's the bottom line. It's designated for low density, but instead of low density, it's compatible because you're going to put a building there. So The compatibility is a huge issue with me. It's not compatible to the residences that I see it. So I don't have a problem with this one because I don't think it's compatible and I…”
“Why did it take me that long to urinate? I know.”
