“Okay, I've been to your property. I'm allowed to go to your property. I'm allowed to see physically your property. I've been to your property two days in a row because I couldn't believe what I saw. I took some pictures and I handed it to our planning and zoning department. And if they could show them one at a time, so this way the audience and my fellow commissioners can see. Okay. Okay. First picture is the spa and the nail salon. I count three cars. Next picture, please, sir. Next picture is a different angle on it. From the spa all the way down to where that white SUV in the other car,…”

“Sorry, it's hard to hear you for some reason. I can't hear that. I think I heard what you said. I'm sorry. So you're parked in a handicapped spot right now and it's not supposed to be there. Okay. Because on your location, I believe you only have two, one in front of the nail salon and one in front of your establishment. See, the problem I have with this, okay, I count 15 and that was random days. 15 minus 25 is 10. Okay. I had a lot of applicants in the six years that I set up here come to me and ask me, could you approve this? And I said, I cannot because you don't have sufficient amount of…”

“You saw those cars there by the business. You have a viewing. It might hurt their business. That's why it is. To me, it's important for the parking. So my question to you, not a statement. is do you think it's right that you take up the whole parking lot from your so-called tenants for their business?”

“Okay. Well, I must have missed it because when I was there two days in a row, your parking lot at the church was empty. So the staff must have parked in the parking lot for that last picture you saw. My final question is, You're basically having a viewing, okay? And I understand that. So from the viewing, it's going to either cremation, cemetery, or back to Orlando. So let's say it's going to the cemetery for burial, okay? Will you have like a recessional burial?”

“Okay, and since Highway 27, State Road 27, no Highway 27, I was right the first time, and State Road 50, if up to my beliefs, PD cannot escort you on major highways. So who would be out there directing traffic? On 27th.”

“Great answer. Great answer. Thank you. That was my concern with the traffic. But unfortunately, I cannot approve this due to the fact because you have limits in amount of parking. I'm sorry, sir. I think it might be a great idea, but... It's too small of an area to have 70. I count 90 altogether. I just found out 90, that it's 90 people altogether, and you only got 25 parking spots. You got 55 across the street. 25 plus 55 comes out to be 80. Okay, so I'm just trying to get into my head to find a medium where, you know, we could work with each other, but... That's a lot of people. That's a…”

“right so my initial question was are you going right now you have 70 seats in the viewing area are you willing to you go to you tell me well what's it's your business i don't want to interfere with your business but you know that it seems like the parking that i currently have is adequate for the 90. it's because i have 55 plus the across the street”

“I'm just asking out of curiosity. Well, no, you're entitled to ask me a question, and you're the applicant, and I'll be more than happy freely to let you know. I've denied a lot of projects that came across my desk because one parcel. Now, I understand, for example, you have your church. That's two separate parcels, two. Okay. For example, there was one with food trucks. The reason why it was denied was because there was no place to park. The land was 10 spots. And they said, oh, we could park in this shopping center. And that wasn't satisfactory with me. It's because, yes, you will have an…”

“Right, I agree, but that's not a business. It's not a business. This is a business. You're asking us to change the resolution, and you're putting a very large... To me, 70 seats in there, plus an additional 20. So that's a lot of seats. I've been voting like this for the past six years. I really wish you could find something so I could change my vote for you. I really do. You seem very sincere, and it's a good project. It's just... Rules are rules, and I hate saying it like that. It really does.”

“I would like to enter a motion of approval with the conditions that the language get changed in the resolution exactly what commissioner Hoynston said about providing adequate parking for your fellow tenant in the nail salons or whoever that tenant might be in the future also I like to add The maximum viewing is 50. I calculated it. It comes out just barely enough. Okay. And the reason why I say that, sir, it's because Commissioner Hoinstein hit the nail on the head. People don't stay for the whole viewing. They come and they go. And that was my main concern with the safety of traffic coming…”

“First of all, I'd like to thank Commissioner May for taking two of my questions. I swear, I think you're bugging my house, but that's something different. My most concern is I'd like to bring this to staff. Are you comfortable with these changes? Are you, that wasn't, that's not the question, director. Are you comfortable with these changes? I don't mean to put you on the spot. Because you have a lot more experience than I do at this. You've seen rules come and go. That's why I'm asking if you're comfortable with them.”
