“Okay. I don't know if you remember the voting, but I really wasn't in favor for your first project that came up. All right. And I'm going to be honest with you. All right. And I don't like this project at all, especially when you ask me to wait five variances. Okay. So, I mean, my question is, what made you change your mind from your first project that got approved to To this new project that you're asking us to bend the rules for you.”

Because that's what I'm looking at when I first read this. I said, wait a minute. I'm reading this and I'm reading my packet. It's the same exact project. Two properties that they're talking about.

“May I ask one more? I mean, actually, it's a comment. I'm glad you said comment. Flashing signs, as we know, even down in certain areas, downtown Claremont, don't work. Okay? I see this being a disaster if you're counting on a flashing sign. Okay? I take my life in my hand when I get my car washed, come out of the state and shake. In that area, just getting across. Okay? A flashing sign ain't going to stop it. Like Commissioner Todona said, that's the most busiest intersection when he gets backed up. Okay, so I'm just, I was amazed that that was even brought up, that that's a plus. But thank…”

“Now, I noticed in the packet when planning and zoning, read it back to me, I noticed it says no dressing of the deceased. Okay, now you know it's going to sound like I have no sympathy for the dead, but I want to be honest with you. When you transport a deceased body, it's going to move. It's going to rock. It's going to roll, especially if you come from Orlando. So it's going to be hard. This is really hard. Will you be touching up like any portions of the body? Because that's considered dressing. That's why I don't know if you want to take that out.”
