Description
A
Okay,
thank
you
all
for
all
of
your
your
input
and
for
all
of
the
thoughtful
conversation.
Now
the
tough
part
is
council.
Members,
I
was
on
the
City
Council.
When
this
whole
start
the
whole
thing
started.
So
I
know
that
I
appreciate
as
that
people
refer
to
the
Sabatini
idea,
but
it's
the
group
I
appreciate
that
I
was
also
when
we
this
whole
concept
got
started
it.
There
was
no.
A
There
was
no
definition
of
what
the
benefit
area
was
going
to
be,
and
there
was
a
lot
of
emails
from
all
over
PG
I
said
no
I,
don't
I,
don't
have
anything
to
do
with
this.
You
know
I,
don't
want
to
have
to
pay
for
this,
so
it
was
really.
It
was
the
the
request
for
the
area.
The
cut
was
coming
from
people
in
the
bird
section
and
yet
and
I.
Look
back
on
that
and
I
think
we
didn't
send
invitations
out
to
the
entire
of
PGI.
A
If
we
were
to
change
this
and
send
invitations
out
to
BGI
I,
don't
know
if
we
opened
up
that
and
we
added
if
we
would
have
enough
room
in
this
whole
space
for
PG
people
and
PGI
to
come
in
and
opine.
So
anyway,
I'll
open
this
up
to
councilmember
comments,
and
then
we
can
see
where
we
want
to
go
from
here.
Jaha
I.
B
B
Speaking
now
about
a
special
assessment
and
I
think
with
that
is
important
that
we
share
with
you
what
the
state
law
is
in
regard
to
that
there's
things
we
like
to
do
and
there's
things
were
not
allowed
to
do
lis
requirements
regarding
special
assessment.
A
special
assessment
is
a
charge
levied
against
a
particular
property,
because
the
property
receives
a
special
benefit
from
the
service
or
improvement
being
funded,
as
established
by
Florida
case
law
to
requirements
exist
for
an
imposition
of
a
valid
special
assessment.
B
One,
the
property
assess,
must
derive
a
special
benefit
from
the
improvement
or
service
provided
and
to
the
assessment
must
be
fairly
and
reasonably
apportion
amongst
the
properties
that
receive
the
special
benefit.
There's
the
big
difference
between
a
special
assessment
and
what
we
call
any
illegal
tax
special
assessments
must
actually
benefit
the
property.
We're
talking,
sometimes
in
our
discussion
about
general
benefit,
benefit
the
people.
The
reason
why,
when
people
we
have
will
say
we
don't
have
this
in
front
of
order,
but
secure
communities
have
a
fire
fee.
B
A
fire
fee
can
pay
for
all
services,
except
for
EMS,
because
EMS
is
something
that's
going
to
benefit
people,
not
property.
In
this
case,
a
determination
was
made
by
a
firm
which
is
one
of
the
premier
economic
firms
in
Florida,
they've,
actually
service,
one
hundred
and
thirty
six
different
cities
and
government
agencies.
We
had
them
do
this,
because
we
was
so
important
that
we
get
an
accurate
assessment
of
least
what's
going
to
be
the
most
likely
determination,
who's
going
to
benefit
the
most
from
their
determination.
B
They
came
up
with
this
benefit
area
now,
on
this
regard,
even
getting
to
the
mat
committee,
the
reason
why
the
mat
committee
decided
they
weren't
going
to
fund
this
is
it
you
know,
give
you
the
quote
from
this.
This
is
from
the
meeting
on
February
14
2019
Buckley's.
Past
request
was
briefly
explained
that
in
their
trying
to
get
some
relief
to
the
citizens
through
a
grant
application,
the
WC
IND
won't
fund
the
project
because
it
goes
from
a
non
public
to
a
non-public
canal.
B
If
Mac
wants
to
improve
some
funding,
it
has
to
come
out
of
the
Botes
Improvement
Fund.
So
then
it
goes
to
the
next
meeting.
The
next
meeting
discussion
ensued
as
to
this
requests
that
not
benefiting
the
community
at
large.
It
benefits
the
residents
and
the
vert
sex
and
the
fee
GI,
allowing
them
to
get
out
into
the
harbor
quicker.
It
sets
a
precedent
if
you
approve
approving
one
channel,
you
need
to
prepare
for
the
approval,
all
the
channels
that
need
to
be
improved
in
the
community.
You
can't
say
to
this:
one
is
somehow
special.
B
It
should
be
paid
for
by
those
in
the
affected
area.
Point
of
saying
this
is
that
this
is
a
clear
precedent.
Sometimes
in
the
discussion
we
heard
that
we
are
setting
some
new
precedent.
The
reason
why
people
in
burnstow
Isles
are
not
assessed
for
pgi2
analysis
because
they
don't
live
in
peat.
Yet
the
reason
why
PGI
people
are
not
severe
psoriasis
for
the
same
reason
we're
following
the
procedure
which
the
city
and
throughout
exodus
state
this
in
inside
the
state
of
Florida.
B
There
are
four
forms
of
government:
you
have
cities,
counties
school
boards
in
special
district.
Special
districts
are
ones
which
are
formed
to
meet
a
particular
special
benefit
in
this
case,
because
we
wanted
to
fund
this
special
project
that
was
gonna
benefit.
A
special
area
will
be
mean
by
special
benefit.
It's
going
to
actually
improve
on
the
property
and
the
movie
and
property
values,
and
so
this
is
why,
even
if
someone
does
not
use
a
boat,
that's
actually
not
the
consideration.
B
The
consideration
really
is
is
that
the
potentiality
of
this
allows
the
property
to
be
valued,
to
be
greater
or
less
value.
I
just
think,
I
just
want
to
make
that
part
clear.
It's
I
think
that
some
of
this
we
we
have
a
little
bit
less
leverage
in
this.
Then
it
may
appear
that
we
do
we
we
do
have
to
stay
within
the
confines.
The
following
state
law
in
this
regard.
A
C
It
may
be
legally
defensible,
but
it
appears
to
me
to
be
the
most
illogical
method
of
assessing
anybody
for
anything
that
I've
ever
seen.
We
have
a
canal
maintenance
account
system.
That
is
in
perfectly
good
condition.
If
we
want
to
assess
the
benefited
area,
I
think
we
should
do
it
using
the
canal
maintenance.
One
lot,
one
account
I'm.
D
E
F
I
think
this
project
needs
to
go
forward.
First,
let
me
say
that
straight
up,
I,
absolutely
detest
this
water
access
unit
process,
I
think
it's
horrible.
There
are
hundreds
of
properties
in
the
Isles
that
have
between
85
and
90
feet
of
waterfront
and
just
because
they
have
more
than
85
feet
of
waterfront
and
then
less
than
90
does
not
mean
they
can
put
two
docks
and
two
boats
on
that
dock.
F
F
I
think
we
need
to
say
no
to
this
resolution
and
I
think
we
need
to
come
up
with
a
better
way
to
fund
my
simple
suggestion
and
I
think
it
would
be.
A
very
simple
suggestion
is
to
consider
taking
half
of
the
special
use
fund
and
fund
the
rest
of
it
by
way
of
a
hundred
dollars
a
year
on
the
canal
maintenance
for
the
assessed
district.
Only
for
the
assessed
district,
only
I
like
mr.
Sabatini's
idea,
but
it's
not
realistic.
If
we
stay
with
the
assessment
district,
only
we've
already
told
the
assessment
district.
F
We
are
planning
on
assessing
them
this
year,
but
we
don't
have
to
do
the
water
access
unit
methodology
assessment
as
far
as
I'm
concerned.
My
simple
solution
is:
let's
take
half
of
the
money
in
the
special
use
fund
and
if
you
have
to
build
them
a
hundred
dollars
a
year
for
the
next
five
or
six
years
to
pay
for
the
difference
of
it
then
do
so.
But
let's
get
rid
of
this
water
access
unit
methodology.
So.
A
I'm
all
for
moving
forward
on
this
and
moving
forward
now
as
well.
I
questioned
the
water
access
units
when
the
meeting
at
the
first
meeting
when
it
was
suggested
and
I
said
why
and
not
one
council
member
questioned
it.
Everybody
agreed
with
it
and
that's
like
really
I,
also
brought
it
up
that
we
should
probably
have
had
a
vote.
Well
yeah
years
ago,
oh
yeah
and
then
council
said
no.
We've
heard
enough.
We
had
there's
enough
support
for
it,
so
we
didn't
go
forward.
I.
A
A
Might
not
feel
that
we
have
to
wait
the
year,
but
there
are
a
number
of
things
that
you
have
to
go
through
in
order
to
convert
and
we
would
have
to
have
new
public
hearings
and
we'd
have
to
go
through
the
whole
process.
All
over
again
I
mean
it's
timing.
The
state
has
all
these
issues
of
how
we
have
to
go
about
this
and
I
will
tell
you
if
we
were
while
I
like
the
idea
of
one
one
assessment
per
lot.
A
H
Will
if
we
change
the
methodology
which,
as
a
council
you
can
do,
we
will
then
have
to
make
sure
that
the
methodology
is
again
legally
defensible.
We're
gonna
have
to
do
research.
We
will
not
be
able
to
meet
the
deadline
of
putting
the
assessment
on
the
tax
bill
for
this
coming
fiscal
year.
We
will
have
to
delay
that
for
a
whole
year,
because
we
got
to
start
the
process
again,
we
have
to
go
over
each
parcel,
identify
it.
H
Make
sure
that
it's
that
we've
done
the
research,
we're
gonna,
have
to
send
out
assessment
notices
and
go
through
the
whole
public
hearing
process.
Again
there
will
be
winners,
there
will
be
losers,
that's
okay,
but
to
get
it
on
the
tax
bill.
It's
gonna
delay
it
a
year.
Now,
if
you
choose
to
go
out
and
do
the
project
immediately
and
go
out
for
construction
bids,
we
can
do
that,
but
we
will
be
faced
with
approving
a
construction
contract
and
not
having
the
funding
in
place.
H
A
If,
if
we
were
to
want
to
do
that,
then
I
would
I
would
say
that
then,
when
birt
star
isles
goes
to
widen
our
lock,
that
we
would
ask
for
special
use
funds
when
brinstar
isles
gets
the
information
back
from
FPL
on
our
underground
wiring
study,
which
is
going
to
significantly
increase
property
value,
use
and
and
could
be
a
benefit
to
the
to
the
whole
of
the
city.
I
would
ask
for
special
use
funds,
then
I
mean
we
have
there's
no
end
to
to
applying
special
use.
A
You
know
funds
to
special
projects
and
I,
don't
think
anyone
in
our
Sandborn
store
Alice
is
expecting
any
kind
of
special
fund
gift
to
help
us
lower.
What
could
be
the
obligation
and
I
think
that,
while
it's
nice
and
it's
nice
to
have
a
use
other
people's
money
to
help
lower
the
cost,
the
cost
is
the
cost.
A
E
Of
all
I
echo
what
you
just
said
regarding
the
special
use
fund:
I,
think
that
belongs
to
the
whole
community
as
a
whole.
That
would
be
to
using
that
fund
directly
without
any
type
of
reimbursement
mechanism
of
any
sort
would
be
taking
money
from
BSI
we'd
be
taking
money
from
the
historic
district
would
be
taking
money
from
virtually
every
aspect
that
we
have
in
the
general
fund.
So
I
don't
think
that
that
should
be
an
option.
I
think
we
have
to
be
very
cognizant.
E
There
may
be
what
we
want
to
do
preferentially
and
actually
that's
an
area
that
I
certainly
have
a
conflict,
but
I
think
we
have
to
be
pragmatic,
I,
don't
think
we
want
to
procrastinate
or
delay
this
project
in
any
way
unneccesarily,
even
if
we
might
want
to
go
with
a
different
type
of
see
if
a
different
type
of
method
was
defensible.
We
do
note
we
have
have
now
and
I
think
that
we
have
to
keep
that
in
mind
as
we
deliberate
right
here.
Further
I.
A
Tend
to
agree
with
you
well,
I
might
prefer
something
else.
We
have
been
in
this
discussion
about
water
access
units
for
two
years.
We've
had
a
long
time
to
digest
this
and
and
I
I
think
I
understand
residents,
perhaps
not
paying
attention.
I
see
this
all
the
time
and
when
somebody
gets
something
in
the
mail
all
of
a
sudden,
it's
in
it's
in
black
and
white,
and
it's
in
front
of
you
and
I
get
that
and
we
see
residents.
A
Quite
you
know
sending
us
emails
all
the
time
or
having
to
clarify,
but
I
think
I
know
that
the
city
is
willing
to
work
with
condominium
associations
Howard,
as
you've
stated,
all
we
have
to
do
is
bring
in
scheduled
a
meeting
with
the
city
and
bring
in
the
the
documentation
that
would
be
needed
to
show
how
the
the
docks
are
distributed
amongst
whoever
the
property
owners
are,
because
all
we
have
is
the
property
appraisers
website
that
we
can.
You
know
it's.
We
don't
know
what
agreements
there
are
between
prop
a
condominium
associations
and
the
owners.
A
E
C
A
Think
it
was
a
matter
of
that
it
was
reducing
the
number
of
water
access
units.
It
was
how
the
water
access
units
are
distributed
over
the
number
of
condos
that
are
in
that
condominium
association.
For
example,
if
there
were
50
condos
and
25
had
dogs
right
now,
we
are
charging
all
50
condo
owners,
an
equal
number,
whereas
it
should
be
that
the
25
who
have
the
docks
are
the
ones
I.
C
H
B
F
B
Know
the
reason
why
people
who
don't
live
in
PGI
don't
pay
the
canal
district
PGI
a
fee
is
because
they
don't
receive
the
property
value
benefit
of
being
in
a
Canal
District.
The
same
reason:
those
who
are
not
in
the
benefit
area
are
not
gonna
receive
the
benefit
to
their
property.
This
is
state
law.
This
is
a
precedent.
Does
practice
throughout
the
state
of
Florida
I?
Don't.
A
Think
that
that's
what
vice-mayor
Mathews
is
saying,
I
think
what
she's
saying
is.
She
does
not
agree
with
the
water
access
unit,
method
and
I.
Think
that
you
know,
while
I
didn't
agree
with
it
here
we
are
two
years
later.
It's
are
we
going
to
proceed
with
this
now
and
get
Buckley's
past
done.
Are
we
going
to
delay
this
for
a
year
I'm,
not
in
favor
of
us
committing
just
to
start
the
construction
without
a
funding
mechanism
in
place
you're
not
either
I'm.
E
Not
either
I
think
we
need
the
funding
in
place.
I
think
we
need
to
be
very
concerned
that,
through
there
is
a
window
of
opportunity,
potential
has
been
outlined
by
our
consultant
that
we
do
have
three
contractors
they're
rolling
down
large
projects
at
about
the
same
time.
We
want
to
start
so.
We've
got
three
potential
bidders
right
out:
the
gate
that
won't
have
to
re
stage,
equipment
hire
new
workers,
they
have
those
people
in
place,
etc.
That
might
give
us
put
us
in
a
better
bidding
position.
Anything
we
do
to
procrastinate.
F
B
H
C
I
I
I
Just
to
answer
the
question
about
the
noticing
provisions
with
the
new
assessment,
there
is
a
possibility
that
the
maximum
assessment
for
some
of
the
properties
out
there
will
go
up
and
they
really
have
to
be
Reno
'test.
So
if
you
change
the
methodology,
it
doesn't
mean
the
that
the
amount
is
gonna
stay
at
983.
We
have
to.
A
C
Overwhelming
number
of
emails
that
I
received
or
people
that
I
spoke
with
it
wasn't
so
much
the
dollar
amount.
It
was
the
principle
of
the
thing.
It
was
the
fact
that
they
were
being
charged
998
dollars
because
they
had
an
extra
half
a
foot
or
they
I
mean
it
there's
a
time
when
you
do
something,
because
it's
right
and
there's
a
time
when
you
do
something,
because
it's
expeditious
and
I'm
not
sure
where
this
council
is
going
to
come
in
on
this.
C
H
F
The
same
issue
I
have
a
gentleman
in
my
district
that
has
85.1
feet
of
seawall
and
he
got
to
water
access
units
most
of
the
properties
on
any
kind
of
a
turn
or
a
bend
in
a
street
in
the
community
have
more
than
85
feet.
It's
just
the
way
the
Lots
were
plotted.
That
doesn't
mean
you
could
put
more
than
one
boat
or
more
more
than
one
lift
on
that
space.
You
just
can't
do
it.
It's
not
physically
possible,
with
our
current
rules
that
we
have
for
45-degree
angles
and
everything
else,
it's
not
possible.
F
So
it's
unfair
to
charge
people
for
to
water
access
units
if
they
can't
put
two
ducks
or
two
boats
or
two
boat
lifts
on
their
property.
Just
isn't
right.
It's
totally
flawed
and
the
fact
that
all
these
condo
groups
have
now
come
forward
and
said
we
don't
even
have
water
access,
we
don't
own
a
dot
people
in
our
community
in
our
condo
community
own
and
our
deeded,
their
docks
like.
Why
are
we
billing
people
who
live
in
their
condo
group?
Who
don't
own
a
dock
and
don't
have
water
access?
That's
it's
wrong.
It's.
F
A
E
Whatever
we
do
is
not
gonna
be
fair,
that's
not
what
the
issue
is.
The
issue
is,
is
we
need
to
do
what's
best
for
the
community?
Some
people
will
lose.
Hopefully
more
people
will
win.
We
need
to
take
the
that
the
hard
decision,
understanding
that
we're
going
to
anger
some
people
we're
going
to
please
some
people
who
are
not
going
to
please
everybody.
So
we
have
to
make
our
decisions
and
go
forward
and
go
presently
and
I.
I
still
have
to
say
as
much
as
I
would
prefer
a
different
methodology.
E
B
J
I
might
just
do
with
with
all
due
respect
to
councilmember
wines.
Last
comment:
I'm,
mindful
of
the
fact
that
we
are
actually
in
litigation
defending
the
current
methodology
for
the
assessment
of
maintaining
the
sea
walls
and
the
canals
when
you,
when
you
made
your
comment
about
it,
whatever
you
do
whatever
we
do,
it's
not
going
to
be
fair.
J
I
interpret
that,
and
you
can
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
that
you
were
saying
that
basically
with
air
quotes
that
there
are
going
to
be
people
that
no
matter
what
we
do,
they're
gonna
think
that
it's
unfair
to
them.
But
the
role
of
this
council
is
to
adopt
a
methodology
that,
based
on
the
data
and
the
information
that
our
legal
counsel
has
presented
to
us,
is
in
fact
fair
and
reasonable,
based
on
all
of
the
information
from
a
legal
perspective,
and
that
was
the
context
in
which
your
comment
was
offered.
You.
K
K
Under
the
state
law
yeah
as
a
council
member
Cummings
very
accurately
described,
there's
a
two
prong
test
special
benefit
to
property.
We've
already
discussed
that
fair
and
reasonable
apportionment
for
the
Ferren
rizal
porsche
met.
Prom
the
state
courts
have
been
very
clear.
There
could
be
more
than
one
way
to
do
it.
Reasonable
Minds
can
differ.
Mathematical
precision
is
not
required,
but
there
needs
to
be
a
logically
and
factually
driven
way
of
spreading
the
costs.
K
There
are
certain
mechanisms
in
place
already
in
your
code
in
section
21,
a
that
would
allow
the
city
manager
to
make
those
Corrections
even
after
the
roll
is
certified.
It
can
be
corrected.
It
has
to
then
go
through
the
the
tax
collectors
process,
but
there
are
ways
to
do
that
and
to
make
those
Corrections
and
so
to
your
one
constituent
who
had
angle
issues.
I
would
certainly
encourage
them
to
bring
that
forward,
and
if
that
is
shown
to
be
problematic,
to
have
two
that
can
be
accommodated
and.
B
E
B
A
K
Think
with
that
motion
that
is,
is
accurate.
Now,
let
me
just
tell
you
one
thing:
what
if
we
do
get
some
documentation
in
from
these
condos?
That
shows
that
certain
units
should
be
charged
for
all
of
the
water
access
units
and
the
other
one
should
be
taken
off.
We
will
need
to
send
notice
to
those
the
ones
that
are
going
up,
and
you
will
bring
back
a
resolution
to
amend
this
one
to
the
city
at
a
future
date.
Okay,.
A
H
J
A
C
H
A
H
We
we
have
a
final
public
hearing
here,
we're
dealing
with
the
Congregational
United
Church,
where
we
have
met
with
the
pastor
and
a
member
of
the
congregation
and
about
counsels
direction
that
we
will
not
be
sending
the
church
and
assessment
bill,
and
that
is
what
this
agreement
that
we
have
in
front
of.
You
does
so
Miguel.
Why
don't
you
go
over
the
original.
J
And
let
me
just
procedurally,
this
is
not
a
public
hearing,
but
we
did
not
have
a
special
point
on
our
agenda
for
public
comments
for
the
non
public
hearing
items.
So
before
you
have
your
deliberation
on
this
after
McHale
staff
presents
the
item.
If
any
members
of
the
public
want
to
speak
on
this
item,
we
should
give
them
an
opportunity
to
do
so
before
you
take
your
vote.
J
A
A
A
J
J
A
I
Afternoon
again,
Mikael
Finkle
paralegal.
So
when
we
discuss
this,
the
council
had
a
discussion
regarding
the
church
partial
when
you
adopted
the
initial
assessment
resolution
in
the
concern,
so
just
for
everyone's
benefit.
The
parcel
that
the
church
sits
on
is
a
four
acre
parcel.
It's
zoned,
General
multifamily
15
units
per
acre,
so
it
does
have
entitlements
under
Chapter
6
to
dogs.
I
Our
GIS
staff
went
through
it
AutoCAD
assistant
program
to
put
in
an
idea
of
what
those
Docs
would
be.
They
would
be
limited
to
26
just
based
on
theirs.
The
property
surrounding
already
have
Docs,
so
they
wouldn't
fit.
So,
as
the
legal
counsel
advised
us
the
understand
it's
a
church,
however,
the
parcel
cannot
be
exempted
or
we
cannot
waive
the
assessment.
I
As
the
city
manager
said,
we
sat
down
with
the
church,
we
had
an
agreement
for
this
deferral.
There
was,
after
the
church,
leadership
looked
at
it.
They,
the
city,
recommended
interest
on
the
pavement
with
no
time
frame
on
the
agreement.
The
interest
could
quickly,
you
know,
grow
higher
than
the
principal,
and
that
was
never
our
intent.
So
when
staff
published
the
agenda,
we
put
in
there
a
recommendation
to
cap
the
interest
after
10
years,
it's
somewhere
around
$7,000
church
leadership
reviewed.
I
A
L
E
L
The
city's
gonna
pay,
the
twenty
thousand
dollars,
which
would
come
out
of
the
general
fund.
Is
that
right?
Yes,
okay,
that's
not
that
much!
So
we
still
support
it
and
I
speak
for
more
more
than
myself.
We
have
700
residents
and
I
think
they
would
support
this
too.
So,
and
also
thank
you
for
proving
that
project.
It's
been
on
the
board
for
two
years
and
you
had
the.
D
L
J
A
J
If
the
congregation
outgrows
its
current
space
and
goes
somewhere
else
and
sells
the
property,
that's
when
the
city
will
recoup
its
its
funds.
So
so
again,
there
is
a
question
that
you're
ultimately
going
to
need
to
determine
as
part
of
this
item,
and
that
is
whether
or
not
interest
will
accrue
and
if
there
and
if
interest
will
accrue,
do
you
want
to
cap
it
at
ten
years
that
staff
has
suggested
I.
G
J
I
That
is
then,
therefore,
for
this
entity
if
they
sell
or
transfer
it
and
I
can't
put
a
little
background
after
talking
to
them.
The
church
is
a
smaller
entity
of
a
bigger
organization
so
that
the
current
entity
can't
sell
the
church
if,
if
they
no
longer
have
the
church,
it
goes
back
to
the
larger
organization.
If
that
organization
were
to
sell
the
property,
then
they
would
have
to
pay
back
all.
J
M
Jeanne
Pulaski
Weston
Drive
I
would
like
you
to
amend
that
agreement
to
include
any
income
property
established
there.
In
other
words,
it's
been
a
growing
trend
in
the
country
of
churches,
establish
establishing
some
residential
units
of
their
and
renting
them
out.
Sometimes
the
missionaries
in
the
case
of
their
universities.
M
M
It
does
happen
that
nonprofits
are
doing
that
now,
they're
renting
out
facilities,
if
only
you
send
your
kid
to
Marquette
University,
for
instance,
and
they
have
established
dorms
that
have
a
different
basis
of
rentals
rather
than
the
normal
two
ition
and
fees
yeah.
It
becomes
a
bit
of
a
problem,
so
we
need
to
cover
yourself
a
little
bit
in
that
area.
Thank.

Carolyn

mayor
of
this
great
city
of
Punta
Gorda
I,
am
so
pleased
that
the
project
is
moving
forward.
I
am
disappointed,
though,
that
the
council
decided
to
retain
that
assessment
process.
It
just
seems
very
convoluted,
and
it
seemed
by
the
comments
that
we
heard
here
today
that
going
to
impinge
on
a
lot
of
our
residents,
and
it
is
also
going
to
split
our
community.
So
I
am
very
sorry
about
that.
