Go ahead, sir.

Yeah. I was with a young lady, how would the deliveries be made? Will you have people coming by cars in and out of the community, in and out of the neighborhood? Will it increase traffic flow in the neighborhood? And those are things I'm concerned about. All righty,

Miss Wilson. Um there will be no increased traffic. Just the regular UPS and Amazon who are already delivering um will be the people who are picking it up. And then for like customer traffic, nobody will be visiting um the house. I will be shipping off everything. Um I will be on Teimu and Sheen. And then I'll also be on Walmart as well. So, all of those products will be picked up and I only intend on being in the house for a little while because I just signed a contract with the box which is going to end up making me have to find an actual location, but this will just be for a little while. So, there's no additional traffic or people that will be coming into the neighborhood.

All righty. Thank you. Is there anyone who's having questions, comments? All righty. All righty. Thank you, Miss Wilson. But for a minute staff, do you have any questions? Yes, Miss Felicia. Your platform is open to a wide variety for retail sales. So, um, with reference to your the pickup, how often are you scheduling Amazon or the the the services that you stated that's going to be doing that pickup for um, and maybe I had maybe I misunderstood. So, if I make a purchase from you, how how does that purchase get from your place of where you've produced it to getting it to me?

Either I drop it off at the postal post service or Amazon or um UPS picks it up. It just depends on But I'm not scheduling anything unless I have a product or I can just drop it off. Okay. Because if if I could just kind of if you're on those platforms and you get a get a um good good service and I'm I'm hoping that you do

I I I want you to be successful. But the that with that wide openen platform then you can be getting multiple orders that you have to fill and if that's the case are you going to how often are those pickups are going to be within the community?

Well, Amazon Amazon and UPS comes through the community every single day. there's a truck, even FedEx comes through the the community every single day. So, even if I have a pickup every single day, which preferably I will, um it won't affect any traffic, it won't affect it won't affect anything because they come through every single day already. So, it would just be a part of their their natural um trail that they will be going on. It's no, it's nothing additional that they would have to do. And I also drop them off as well. So, whatever additional traffic, it doesn't have to be cuz myself or my daughter will drop off whatever packages that we have. Thank you.

Your name is Barbara Stimber. Excuse my mask. I still wear my mask. and I'm at 3431 uh Great Metals Court, Lthonia. And my uh I just want you to reiterate on her and I know UPS do UPS uh FedEx, Amazon, they do come, but how they don't come every 10 minutes? They don't come that often. They do come like she say every day, but how often are you talking about they're going to be coming? Will it be every hour? fully be I mean now that uh we'll be kind of concerned about that cuz we don't have them coming that often through the neighborhood. Thank you.

Well, there's no way for me to um schedule for them to come more than once a day. So, um I would just schedule them to come the normal time that they typically come and not have anything additional. And then on top of that, um, if they're them coming once a day is an issue, I can also drive my own packages to the the, uh, post office. So, it's not an issue with traffic. So, I mean, even if there's a need not to have UPS or FedEx or whomever come every single day, I also have a vehicle where I can take my products there where traffic is not an issue. All righty. Thank you.

You're welcome. Do you have any questions, comments? Hearing none, Miss Wilson, are you agree to remain in compliance with section 4.2.31 in city ordinance chapter 27? Yeah. All righty. You will receive decision letter from planning and zoning within 24 to 48 hours. Thank you. Thank y'all so much.
