at 20:00I want to be assured that I'm going to get the same courtesy as previous commissioners that zoomed in.
at 1:22:58and eventually into the deep creek, have we looked beyond that, what it will do to folks downstream from there,
at 18:20And as the ladies that are stepping out, I'm going to start calling on Cassie Landron, the president of the Volusia County Hispanic Association, to start coming forward so we can work on the, so we can go to a presentation.
at 1:14:03The one that I had a lot of questions about was the two-meeting requirement where we're having the next meeting on the 17th and we're having this meeting today.
at 21:14One being, since Kimley Horn was the only qualified respondent, how does staff verify that the $3.8 million was a fair and reasonable price?
at 30:59With all the fiber optics that are running in the easements right now, how is that going to affect when they stick a pole in the ground?
at 1:37:57Yeah, I believe Chad did give them a path to move forward, but as he feels and I felt at the same time, it didn't feel like the interest was that much there.
at 1:48:15With that being said, and the contract being broken between – that we had made with them between Aloha and Enrico, is there any legal action we can take to condemn or have the buildings removed?
at 1:56:46The code or the ordinance is being interpreted now as the lot line, meaning that they would be able to put an eight foot fence from the front lot line to the rear lot line down the entire side of the yard.
at 1:59:41The entire rear yard is from complete left to the right from the rear property or from the rear house, front yard being the same from the front of the house to the front lot line from side to side.
at 1:00:44I move to confirm District 5 appointment or reappointment of Kimberly Eddins for a term
at 1:00:50to expire May 31st, 2027 to the William S. Harvey Daltona Scholarship Advisory Board.
at 1:32:01I think I was the one that made the request to put this on, to be followed through with, with obviously sun setting after a year unless it's the will of the mission to continue it.
at 1:33:52And more importantly, the whole purpose of it was to not nitpick what ordinance, but to go through all the ordinances, starting with the oldest ones, to be able to kind of bring them up to date.
