Approved 7.10.24 1725 Lamar Proctor: Thank you for that reminder and I would like to keep things moving, but I don't want to limit 1726 board members' questions too much. With that caveat from Mr. Stober that we need to focus on the land uses, do 1727 you think if we extended the meeting by 15 minutes we could get everyone's questions in? 1728 1729 Charity Kirk: I just want to clarify that we are supposed to evaluate whether or not this development would 1730 fit with the character of the zoning request. 1731 1732 Cy Stober: That is absolutely correct. 1733 1734 Charity Kirk: Okay. Just checking. 1735 1736 Cy Stober: Yeah, the character of the community, the character of the activity node, and also the 1737 principles, goals, and objectives of the comprehensive plan, many of which speak to equity. You are correct. 1738 1739 Lamar Proctor: So, my question is do you think if we extend the meeting by 15 minutes we could get the 1740 remaining board members' questions so we could finish that portion of the program? If not, that's fine. We'll just pick 1741 up where we left off. 1742 1743 Beth Bronson: I just need 2 minutes. 15 minutes for questions will be just fine. 1744 1745 Dolores Bailey: Three? 1746 1747 Chris Johnston: I make a motion to extend by 3 plus 2 is 10 minutes. 1748 1749 Beth Bronson: Nope, 15 minutes. 1750 1751 Chris Johnston: Okay, 15 minutes to finish out the board query and so that we can start the meeting fresh with 1752 public comment. 1753 1754 Marilyn Carter: Second. 1755 1756 Lamar Proctor: All in favor? All opposed? Okay. We'll extend it 15 minutes for the purposes of finishing out 1757 board member questions so we can begin with public comment at the next meeting. 1758 1759 MOTION BY Chris Johnston to extend the meeting by 15 minutes. Seconded by Marilyn Carter 1760 1761 MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY 1762 1763 Dolores Bailey: So, as I was saying, I get what you all are trying to do. I am a board member of Carol Woods 1764 Retirement Center, been a board member for a while. So, I am confused with what this is trying to be. Are you trying 1765 to be a retirement center? Are you trying to be a cooperative? 1766 1767 Mareah Steketee: We are a cooperative. 1768 1769 Dolores Bailey: Okay. So, are you asking us to change the land use only so that you can create a separate 1770 community for this coop? 1771 1772 Mareah Steketee: It is a community that will be guided by principles of cooperative living that really wants to 1773 incorporate aging in place. We’re not building walls to separate from other people. We are welcoming to those 1774 people. I mean, we often joke that it would only be appropriate to join this community if you can live with a banjo. 1775
