reducing down to one, which is the one that's mainly used now is added when identifying brick as far as the design of the structure, how it will be facing.

It is honestly very difficult for, I cannot say no for the sake of no, I hear, and I have been in communication with the community.

Yeah, I know I do love to say no, but most times that I say no, I have a very, I can have a good bit of research and information to go along with it.

The infrastructure piece, although very concerning, we have to work to get our general assembly and that we is you, the community need to help us work with the general assembly to get the support that we need back to our community.

But it is very difficult for me to not support this.

And I have been going

back and forth, which is why I don't tell petitioners or anyone else where I'm going to land on any particular piece.

But I do want to acknowledge and say thank you to the community for actually moving the needle quite a distance and getting more for the community than what was initially identified for the beginning of this process.

Thank you, Mr. Driggs.

So...

I don't see anybody else.

I would just like to comment that I appreciate Councilmember Graham's engagement on behalf of his constituents and his reasoning arriving at the conclusion he has.

My own experience over 12 years is that denials are exceedingly rare.

And here we have a case where a zoning committee approved six to nothing and staff recommends approval.

So I wouldn't advocate for approval of this, but I am not going to be on board with the denial for those procedural reasons.

And unless anybody else has a comment, I will call.

I'd like to clarify also, this motion is a motion not to adopt the zoning committee's recommendation and to deny the petition.

Just so we're clear about that.

We'll do a separate petition if it gets favorable.

All right.
