1:54 – 2:360

Call this the Monday, April 6 meeting of the Bedica Planning Commission to order and ask if you would join me in standing to say the pledge of allegiance. I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Mr. Summers, would you call the role, please? Commissioner Benberry, here. Commissioner Chapman here. Commissioner Griffin. Commissioner Heath here. Commissioner Kaylor here. Commissioner Rhodess here. Chairman Wade

2:33 – 3:170

here. Our first item is the minutes from the March the 2nd meeting, which I believe Commissioner Benberry Barry has those. I move that the reading of the minutes for March 2nd, 2026 be waved and that the minutes of said meeting as prepared by staff are approved as written. Second. Moved and seconded. I hope everyone has had a chance to review those minutes. Any corrections, additions, deletions? Hearing none, Mr. Summers, would you call the role on the motion? Commissioner Benberry, I. Commissioner Chapman, I. Commissioner Heath, I. Commissioner Kaylor, I. Commissioner Rhodess, I. Chairman Wade, I.

3:15 – 3:350

Uh, our next order of business would be uh continued petitions, which I'm not aware of any, and we'll move on to new petitions. Uh, the first being a text amendment uh that um Mr. Summers will give us a report on.

3:33 – 5:320

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This is a text amendment pertaining to the uh R3 medium density residential zone. The uh particular items we're proposing to change is expanded principal uses for a better transition between the R3 and R4 zones. a smaller principally permitted lot size which is to help development on it says on in your staff report the south side but it would be the north side historic district as well and the introduction of corner stores which are once the hub of activity for neighborhoods and uh across the nation that's something that planners from big cities small cities coast to coast are taking a look at and are bringing back and that's actually something that our um neighbors in Covington and Louisville are leading here in the state of Kentucky and other places like Raleigh, North Carolina, Spokane, Washington. That's another hot bed of places that have corner stores coming back. So, currently the R3 zone is much like uh the R1 and R2 zones instead of building a bridge to the highdensity R4 zone. What I mean by that is there are uses that is the same in the R1, R2 and R3 and then there's a huge leap to the R4 zone. So what this text amendment does is it puts some uses as conditional uses in the R3 zone uh and move or that is conditional uses now moves those up to principal uses which better defines that bridge between the zones in your staff report is a map of Louisville and their corner stores. I did want to point that out. And another thing about the corner stores that I would specifically like to point out is

5:29 – 7:260

at the June 9th 2025 meeting uh whenever this body adopted the southside plan uh y'all may remember this about the comments being made about the grocery stores that they had on the south side. So once we lose that history obviously we never get it back. So, this is intended to help save our history in the form of corner stores. Specifically, the Southside revitalization plan states, "Encourage a balance of commercial uses that serve nearby residents and the entire community, such as corner stores." There's examples in there of ones we've lost and some examples that still exist. And also included in there is an example from uh Spokane, Washington of a corner store that was revitalized. Most lots in the R3 zone are non-conforming in terms of lot size and frontage. Back in 1967, whenever the zoning ordinance was adopted, the planners at the time used a one-sizefits-all type approach. 50- foot lots, 8,000 square feet u minimum. And those just simply for the most part didn't exist on the south side or north side. You've typically got more along the lines of 6,000 square foot lots, 40 foot width at the street. So they didn't emulate what was actually on the ground at the time and it created a lot of nonconformities which over the years that's something that adds up uh as far as what we have to deal with. that the board of adjustment has to deal with. Uh it can roll into trying to get loans for uh the banks taking a look at, hey, y'all need a variance for this and assume some risk as opposed to house fitting on a lot that they don't need a

7:24 – 9:240

variance for. A bank's going to be more willing to lend money for something that they can go ahead and and build. Now within the city of Paduca McCraten County Comprehensive Plan, it states specifically define and permit within the city and county zoning codes a range of missing middle housing options for each residential and mixeduse zoning district, including analysis of allowing smaller lot sizes, i.e. more units per acre, reduce setbacks and facilitation of other design elements where appropriate. So this text amendment is exactly in line with the city of Paduka and McCratton County comprehensive plan. Additionally, whenever I spoke about nonconformities a few minutes ago, the uh comprehensive plan addresses that and there's two different paragraphs that uh speak to that. But the nuts and bolts of that are only the most noxious uses should be nonconformities. Everything else should try to be brought into conformity within the zoning code. And as I stated, although not explic explicitly crafted for the southside, the text amendment would support revitalization of the area and the north side historic district as well, which would be in accordance with the board of commissioners priority of southside revitalization, which is pursuant to municipal order 3028. Additionally, two other priorities, quality housing and quality of life would be supported by the adoption of the proposed text amendment. So therefore, their proposed text amendment would be in accordance with three adopted regulatory documents, specifically the city of Paduca, McCracken County comprehensive plan, the board of commissioners priorities, and the southside revitalization plan. As a note, the performance standards for

9:22 – 10:060

single family dwellings, two family dwellings, and corner stores would carry over into the R4 highdensity residential zone. So, with that, Mr. Chairman, I will turn it back over to you for the public hearing. Thank you very much. As he mentioned, this requires a public hearing, and I believe Commissioner Rhodess, you have the I do motion for that. I move this board of I move that this board open the public hearing for case TXT 2026-00002 pertaining to section 126-104 medium density residential zone R3 of the Paduka zoning ordinance second

10:020

moved and seconded all in favor by voice vote say I any opposed by sign like sign

10:10 – 10:540

all right we are now in public hearing we'll ask anyone who has a comment to approach the bench and identify the bench the podium over here. Excuse me. Oh my goodness. To approach uh the podium and identify yourself. All right. Looks like we have nobody to speak for or against or or comment on. So, Commissioner Rhodess, would you close our public hearing? U I move this board close the public hearing for case TXT 2026-02 pertaining to section 126-104 medium density residential zone R3 of the Paduga zoning ordinance. Is there a second? Second.

10:52 – 11:360

Moved and seconded. All in favor of closing the public hearing signify by I. I. Any opposed by like sign? All right. Public hearing is closed now. Commissioner Rose, would you me read the motion on the action, please? When you want us to make some comments if we have any that would be next after this. Yes. Okay. I move this commission adopt a resolution recommending to the board of commissioners that case TXT 2026-02 pertaining to the text minute of 126-104 medium density residential zone R3 of Paduka zoning ordinance be adopted. Is there a second?

11:35 – 12:100

Second. Moved and seconded. Now any questions of Mr. Summers on his presentation or about this or any comments by the commission. Uh Josh on section three section two conditioning permit uses short-term rentals bed and breakfasts. I would hate to see the north and south side fall into the same dilemma that Lord town's in. Mhm.

12:06 – 12:240

We are inundated and I won't say that it there doesn't seem to be much relief coming, but we've got a lot of small h a lot of houses in Ltown that could be single family dwellings and they're not.

12:23 – 13:060

Commissioner Rhodess, I appreciate you bringing that up. There's actually a bill um in the general assembly right now that um specifically Airbnb has lobbyed to get in front of the legislature. And I'm not sure exactly where that bill is, but they are trying to um take away local government's ability to regulate Airbnb, short-term rentals, things of that nature. We do have a text amendment ready uh to go which would limit short-term rentals in the city of Paduka um in different ways by distance and things of that nature.

13:05 – 13:420

You do this about a year ago or a year and a half ago. We did talk about it I believe. Okay. This is that and it's been an ongoing uh conversation we've had. text amendment is done, but by direction from leadership, we need to see what the state's going to do before we can enact anything. So, that is where we're at is waiting on the legislature to decide if they're going to enact regulations that would restrict our ability. Wasn't today the last day of the legislature? That I don't know. April 15th, today was the last day before it went into the Anyway. Okay.

13:41 – 14:250

They're on recess now, but they will be coming back. So, to my knowledge, that bill um last I knew about two weeks ago, that bill was still in committee. So, if they're going to do something, they need to hurry obviously, but I've not heard that it's left committee yet. I mean, we talked about this. It is a it's a problem. I I do agree. Like I say, I've got the text amendment ready to come before you guys, but we waiting on the state is my short answer. So, if they don't do anything, then you're going we're going to do something. I would expect us to do something. Yes. Okay.

14:23 – 15:050

But this it just this change doesn't affect that current component of R3. Correct. It doesn't um it's still a conditional use in the R3 zone. Um and so that's not changing. But if the state does takes action or not then we will need to revise. Uh certainly if my preference is for letting us to go ahead and regulate like we have to some extent that way I can bring that text before you all to take a look at at some point. I got two more questions.

15:01 – 15:430

Sure. Uh parking. We talked about this when I was in your office one day. So is there going to be how you going to handle part? So you got to corner grocery store or a hairdresser, whatever. Do we have that thing where inspection will say you got to have, you know, 15 spaces or whatever the appropriate number is for this type of business or did we wave that? uh that will actually be waved and that will that's the way I read about it. I just want to make sure. Yes, it will uh emulate the historic pattern of parking on the street andor walking.

15:40 – 15:520

One one more. A sandwich shop or sandwich board can only be in front of a corner store if it doesn't have a projecting sign. Mhm.

15:55 – 16:130

I mean, that's fine, but it's going to it's going to get violated from day one. If it ever if we ever have a corner store, it's going to be violated. It's violated, etc. for the last 20 years. Well, this coming October, violated for 20 years. I mean, is it

16:11 – 16:560

that specific language is something we've adopted out of the B2 downtown business zone. Um, and you might remember that we did a text amendment for that five, six years ago, which when you allowed the projecting signs as their own sort of standalone section in the sign code. Uh, as long as they didn't have sandwich board, and that's to keep sign clutter down. So, Commissioner Rhodess, I see exactly where you're coming from. I mean, we get to less than 12 square feet, etc., but we've had a sandwich. I mean, we've had the open sign. and probably two foot square on either side for which is fine. I'm just saying yeah, but

16:53 – 17:370

also I would point out that in the H2 uh historic commercial zone, there's a lot more dense businesses there, smaller lots, so that would maybe warrant a little bit more signage in that zone. You can always overlook it. Thank you. Yep. Any other questions, comments? Hearing none. Mr. Summers, would you call the role, please? Commissioner Rhodess, I. Commissioner Benberry, I. Commissioner Chapman, I. Commissioner Heath, I. Commissioner Kaylor, I. Chairman Wade,

17:35 – 17:490

I. All right. Our next item is uh a zoning request pertaining to 224 Burger Road. Mr. Summers. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

17:46 – 19:430

Lead us on that. This thing would back up. Thank you, council. All right. So, hard copy it is. Thank you. So, this is a initial zoning request for 224 Burger Road. Currently, the slot is in the county, but it is uh going to be annexed into the city of Paduca, and it's had its first reading on March 24th, 2026. The site is 16,143 square ft and has a 285 uh currently orthopedic office located there, but the office is vacant. They've moved to Village Square Drive. The petitioner, which is the doctor that owns the building, requests a planning commission assign an initial zone of R4 highdensity residential zone. And what that is intended do to do is to keep it within a medical type use or professional office like an accountant uh an attorney uh an engineer something along those lines which would be principally permitted in the R4 zone. This would be in conformance with the city of Paduca uh comprehensive plan which states continue to explore strategies and provisions for o overcoming nonconformities that can stand in the way of beneficial use and reuse of property including infill development and redevelopment activity.

19:41 – 21:390

The city zoning classification that touches this lot to the south is R2, a medium density residential zone. However, as of right now, the county classification is commercial. So, it's not out of the realm of um possibilities and also what's on the ground now for that lot to be another commercial use, orthopedic office, medical, something to that effect. So, both the city of Paduka and McCrin County comprehensive plan and the board of commissioners priorities support the initial initial R4 designation. Two goals of the comp plan are consistent character of land use within areas intended for a particular character types from rural and suburban through autoor oriented and urban along the community character spectrum and an ongoing focus on boosting the area's livability for current and perspect pro perspective residents by offering desired retail and service uses, parks and recreation offerings and other leisure opportunities and amenities in approp appropriate locations. The board of commissioners priorities also speaks to this that a priority is growth pursuant to municipal order 3028. What that specifically means is the city should annex properties that further the city's um interest and responsibility. The purpose of the R4 zone is to combine residential and business uses in such a manner that will buffer lowdensity residential property. The R4 zone applied to this uh parcel would be keeping within the spirit and intent of the R4 as there's a single family home to the north which would buffer it from the other surrounding businesses uh that surround it. So, Mr. Chairman, I would like to turn it back over to you for the public hearing.

21:36 – 22:130

All right. Thank you. To open the public hearing, I mean, Commissioner Chapman, you have a motion for that? I do. Um, Commissioner Jim Chapman of Paduka Planning Commission offers the following motion. I move this board open the public hearing for case Z2026-1 pertaining to the initial zoning classification of highdensity residential zone R4 for property located at 224 Burger Road. Second. Moved and seconded. All in favor by voice vote say I. I

22:11 – 22:560

any opposed? All right. Um being a public hearing, I'd ask anyone who has comment to approach the podium, identify yourself, and present your comments. Having no one to do that, we'll entertain a motion to close the public hearing. I Commissioner Jim Chapman of Paduka Planning Commission offer the following motion. I move that this board close the public hearing for case Z 2026-1 pertaining to the initial zoning classification of highdensity residential R4 for property located at 224 Burger Road. Second

22:540

moved and seconded. All in favor by voice vote say I

22:59 – 24:140

opposed. Public hearing is closed. Now Commissioner Chapman, I would ask that you read the motion for the action upon this item. I, Commissioner Jim Chapman of Paduka Planning Commission, offer the following motion. I move that this commission recommend approval for the board of commissioners and to adopt the resolution recommending approval thereof of the requested initial zoning of R4 highdensity residential zone for property located at 224 Burger Road. I further move this commission to adopt the following findings in fact in support of the said recommendation. One, the city of Paduka and McCracken County comprehensive plan supports the R4 zone and two goals in the land use section. Two, a prior a priority of the board of commissioners is growth persuant and MO 3028. Three, the spirit of the intent of the R4 zone would be fulfilled by providing a buffer between commercial uses and the single family home. Four, the current use of this site is an orthopedic office which is principally permitted in the R4 zone. Five, no high intensity commercial development could be developed on this lot in the future which would help to protect the overall character of the neighborhood.

24:13 – 24:510

Second. Moved and seconded. Any questions of Mr. Summers on his report or any comments regarding this action? Hearing none. Mr. Summers, would you call the role, please? Commissioner Chapman, I. Commissioner Heath, I. Commissioner Kaylor, I. Commissioner Rhodess, I. Commissioner Benberry, I. Chairman Wade, I. All right. Our next item is board training and we'll turn it over to Mr. Summers to provide us that insight.

24:51 – 26:490

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So tonight I'm going to go through some of the basics and this is a training I'm I've given before and uh there's one almost identical to it for the board of adjustment that I'll be giving to them as well. So this is specifically for the planning commission but if you have any questions as I go through here please feel free to interrupt at any time. I'd be glad to answer any questions that you all have. So when we talk about KRS chapter 100 which is the um legislation that this body operates under it was adopted in 1966. Uh, uklitian zoning is a valid use of the constitutional police power that was uh adopted by the Supreme Court in 1926 via village of Uklid, Ohio versus Amler realy. And also in 1926, the US Department of Commerce published model legislation under which states and local jurisdiction could regulate land use. That was the standard state zoning enabling act. Uh the village of Uklid is a suburb of Cleveland and if I remember right that had to do with a animal farm next door to residential and how that started to uh promulgate through the court system at the time. And what the Supreme Court found was the government authority over the use of private property derives from the state's police powers over the health and welfare of the public. And as on your course of the planning commission, you'll see the term health and welfare and safety and stuff like that. That was specifically founded all the way back in 1926. But officials must establish a log or logical regulatory scheme of land prior to the use or prior to enforcement of the regulations which is the zoning code

26:47 – 28:450

and must offer some guarantee of legal due process. So, as far as types of planning units, there's variations within the Commonwealth. It can be a single city, a single county and cities and counties in which they are located, a groups of counties and their cities, or an area planning commission, which that's under a different KRS 147610 through 147710. And that's areas like northern Kentucky where they have like joint sewer up there, different planning agencies that join together. Um my prior job down in the city of Oak Grove was different than what we have where we had Oak Grove, Pimbro, Copkinsville, and we all joined with the county. Well, here in McCracken County, obviously it's us and McCracken County itself. So we're a single city, single county, both doing our own thing. However, a joint planning unit can be formed at any time and any city that excludes itself from the joint planning unit may not form an independent planning unit. So, why do we plan? Why do we do what we do? And this body does what it does. We look ahead to try to address perceived needs, whether that's housing, uh sewer needs, uh where we need parks and recreation. Uh it goes into every aspect of what we do. Work together to develop a coherent strategy, identify in infrastructure needs, which I'd mentioned water and sewer, but also roads, enhance economic development, and protect property values and existing land uses such as homes shielded from incompatible land uses such as heavy industrial. So the kids on the school bus don't want to have to deal with the semitrs coming down the road and the semitrs don't want to have to deal with

28:43 – 30:410

the kids on the school bus. So even though our zoning is pyramidal within the city of Paduca, it does tend to integrate and separate theelves into those types of land uses which is a plus for us but the option is there to integrate in meaningful ways. So the role of the planning commission is to recommen re recommend comprehensive planning and zoning rigs to the board of commissioners much like you all did tonight on both the text amendment and an initial zone change or zoning designation. Approve major subdivisions and conditional use permits and variances when they're part of a resoning petition. And there's twice whenever this body has done that. specifically for a reasonzoning on Broadway and the other I can't recall right now but I know that we have done it at some point in the past. So the legislative body which is the board of commissioners reviews and adopts or denies legislation sent to them by this body and it they accept or vacate rightway upon a recommendation of this body as well. The planning commission must be appointed and in operation prior to engaging in any planning opera operations which is governed by KRS1 133 through 182. There's between five and 20 members, but obviously an odd number is desirable so that there's not tie votes all the time in case that happens. Some planning commissions could certainly have an even number, but I don't see how that would be very uh intuitive uh to that body. The planning commission also submits recommendations to the board of commissioners, including revisions of and revisions to the comprehensive plan,

30:39 – 32:370

which specifically is the goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan. the zoning ordinance, which is text amendments, the official zoning map, and as I mentioned, rightway closures or dedications. The planning commission has the authority to review, hear, and approve or deny plan elements of the comprehensive plan, which you all may remember a little over a year ago, we did that very thing for the different elements that's required by state law. The text of the subdivision regulations, plats or replplats of major subdivisions, conditional use permits when filed concurrently with a resoning request, and a variance from the development standards when filed concurrently with a resoning request. So when I say major plat, what exactly does that mean? And y'all hear me say that a lot. So I kind of wanted to drill down a little bit to that and kind of explain that a little bit better. But it's any plat that creates five or more lots, any plat that creates new rideway, a new street, a new thoroughare, any plat that closes existing right of way, and all the above actions require a public hearing. Each case before the planning commission will have a staff report that explains the case in detail and each staff report generally contains the same flow and there may be other sections such as site history considerations and recommend recommended motion will always be the same in the staff report. Uh you might notice in some cases for like zoning uh the zoning case is a good one that there will always be what it is now and what it's going to be proposed to and what those look like side by side as an example.

32:35 – 34:350

The findings of fact which we always read is reflected in the motion. They are required for a denial but optional for an approval. However, uh the last couple years staff has always opted for findings to be made anyway. And so what that does is that bolsters uh how you reach that conclusion legally in case it is challenged. Sources for findings can come from the comprehensive plan, the board of commissioner priorities and other documents such as the southside plan for example and in our first case that was uh mentioned as well. So that is very timely for that to come before you all tonight. The alternative zoning uh regulation which we've adopted pursuant to 100 211 is a little bit different and some of y'all have been on this body long enough to remember that there used to be a uh an ordinance before the board of commissioners to change the zoning. And this was changed probably five or six years ago to whenever this body makes that recommendation to the board of commissioners that will stand 21 days after that recommendation is made. Uh there is an a process by any agrieved person the board of commissioners or the zoning administrator can request the board of commissioners to hear and decide the case. Otherwise that uh will take effect 21 days after your recommendation. the uh legislative role of the board of commissioners. It they have the power to adopt the comprehensive plan goals and objectives that have been submitted by the planning commission. And you may note that I'm not specifically saying the elements in the comprehensive plan. That is up to this body to uh guide,

34:32 – 36:280

direct, and adopt. and the board of commissioners. The only thing that they uh guide, direct, and adopt is those goals and objectives within the comprehensive plan. They appoint members uh oh appoint members of boards and commissions as submitted by the mayor and they take action on rightway dedications or closures and continued. They adopt, reject or amend proposals from the planning commission to amend the official zoning map, i.e. a zone change, initiate amendments to the text of the comprehensive plan, zoning ordinance or subdivision regulations, and initiate amendments to the official zoning map. Now, there is a specific KRS that speaks to that that no matter where a uh text amendment comes from, whether it's a legislative body, this body, a concerned citizen, it's always comes before you all first for a public hearing. Staff's role is to administer the zoning ordinance and subdivision regulations, prepare drafts of the zoning ordinance and subdivision regulations for consideration by this body, keep records and the official zoning map. And I myself am staffed to both you all and the board of adjustment. And as you know, we also have the URCDA, the Urban Community Development Agency where Nancy Up Church is now planner too. She's staff for that body and uh West Banks is staff for the HARK now. So, three different planners and we all have our functions as staff to those particular boards. You've heard me mention the comprehensive plan and in Kentucky each planning commission is required to prepare the comprehensive plan which is

36:25 – 38:230

contained within KRS 100 and reviewed every 5 years. The uh red goals are what is required which is the goals and objectives land use transportation and community facilities. Those are things that have to be in there, but you can always add too. And some examples of that is the environment, government, business and industry, tourism, and historic preservation. But it can be pretty much anything that uh the board of commissioners, the mayor in conjunction with the planning commission feels is important to include in the comprehensive plan. The comprehensive plan is a fiscal plan and meant to guide the fiscal development of the jurisdiction, in this case the city of Paduca, into how, why, when, and where to build, rebuild, or preserve different areas. It's a long range plan that covers typically five or more years. It can be up to 20. Expresses current policies that will shape the future. And a good plan should be slightly utopian, which should challenge and inspire us is what a vision should be and how to get there. And one of the utopian ideas right now is housing. We need it. We need a lot of it. So, we're uh trying to be creative, think outside the box for exactly how to get more housing within the city and county. The uh comprehensive plan covers the entire city and obviously the one that we have in place is for McCracken County as well. It encompasses all of the functions that make the city work, transportation, housing, land use and it considers the inter relationship of those functions. There's a statement of policy adopted by the board of commissioners and uh covers

38:20 – 40:200

community desire such as uh quantity of housing within a particular area that character location rate of growth and it indicates how these how those desires are meant to be achieved. But ultimately it's the guide to decision making. And if you'll notice in my staff reports and the board of adjustment is the same way. I try to make that correlation between you all's action and the comprehensive plan. That way what we know within this body is that hey the comprehensive plan says this and we have the legal authority with the full backing of the board of commissioners and the mayor to act on it in a certain way. So as far as the zoning scheme, there's two parts, map and a text. And of course, as we all know on this body that uh Paduka is designed or uh divided into different zones, which spells out the permitted uses and the performance standards, which is your height, your width, the street, how much you can build on a lot, that sort of thing. And the other things that it includes is landscaping, signage, home occupations. There's a wide variety within those zoning rigs. Cell towers is one. Uh accessory dwelling units. Uh and new land uses are coming online all the time. And uh Commissioner Rhodess, a good point you made was about the um short-term rentals. That's another one that we hope to include in here depending on what the state does. and also the subdivision regulations. Uh, of course, the division of land into multiple lots or parcels and also that supporting infrastructure of what those lots may need such as roads, water, sewer, that type of thing.

40:17 – 41:390

So, some miscellaneous provisions is mandatory training for staff, planning commissioners, and the board of adjustment. And this is the new training that's required. uh this used to be uh under a different KRS which was 147 that guided how you all perceived your training and this is the what we've adopted via uh the state in uh KRS 100 15 hours for 15 hours every two years for staff deputies and assistants plus planning and zoning impacts on housing supply and accessibility that's an hour that we have to have and for the planning commission plus board of adjustment 7 hours every four years uh plus an hour of planning and zoning impacts on housing supply and accessibility. So with that I know that was a whirlwind presentation but hopefully it provide pro provided a broad overview. I want to thank you all for serving on the planning commission. truly. I know it's a thankless job sometimes and uh some hearings can be more difficult than others as we all know, but I do want to sincerely thank you all and I'd be glad to answer any questions that anybody may have.

41:390

So, I've got a question. Sure. I know you're surprised.

41:42 – 42:260

So, so we're on the planning commission and we see things every day in the community that we have a question about. So for example like Darpro is left so all those people that live near Darro at least for a while don't have put up with smell dead animals. So what's the best way for a activist planning commission member to say to to raise an to raise a quer says so what is this city doing about this? Is it in a meeting? Is it in your office? Is it nothing at all? Not my job. What
