[4:27] I think

[4:33] this brings us to planning, exoning agenda number 26-58 from the Hardie County Industrial

[4:40] of development authority as property owners.

[4:44] Is requesting to rezone approximately 82.89 plus or minus takers from farm and residential

[4:51] F4 to plant unit development PUNE.

[4:55] With a master plan consisting of 111 single family.

[5:00] Residential locks together with internal roadways, stormwater management systems, and recreational tracks, and the agriculture, and residential next-use future land use category.

[5:14] Do we have a motion to schedule a date, certain which would be October 1st?

[5:20] to make a motion to schedule to the date

[5:22] certain on October 1st.

[5:24] Do we have a second?

[5:28] So they can.

[5:31] All in favor, stay at eye.

[5:34] All in a pose, stay at night.

[5:37] Motion carried.

[5:40] So now it brings us to plan in zoning

[5:42] agenda number 26-59

[5:45] from the Hardy County Industrial Development Authority.

[5:48] As property owner is requesting

[5:50] to amend the future land use map of the Hardy County

[5:54] comprehensive plan to change the future way and use designation of approximately 53 plus or minus

[6:01] acres from agriculture to residential mixed use. Do I have a motion to schedule this to a date

[6:09] certain which will also be up to reverse?

[6:13] For my commotion to schedule this to date certain up to a reversed?

[6:19] And do we have a second?

[6:23] It's second.

[6:27] All in favor say that, but all in a post-stake name, motion carries.

[6:39] All right, planning and zoning agenda number 26-62 from Tony Richardson as property owner.

[6:47] The purpose of this public hearing is to hear the request, receive public input, and make a decision.

[6:53] And with that, I want to leave it over to you.

[6:56] Thank you, Chair.

[6:56] Okay, this is a variance number 262 comes to us from Rebuild Florida on behalf of the property under Tongue Richardson.

[7:06] The subject parcels are located on a south side of Griffin-Widen Road, west of Main Street,

[7:14] more specifically referred to as 3239 Griffin-Widen Road.

[7:18] Like in the A1s, I mean, the direct and agricultural future land use category, as are all the adjacent properties.

[7:27] This is an image of the existing home.

[7:31] What it looks like now from the hurricane image.

[7:34] And this is the location map, so you can give that a view.

[7:39] And the surrounding properties are all zone A1.

[7:42] I'm

[7:46] going to give a good view of the surrounding properties on the aerial map there.

[7:52] Our property owner is seeking to demo the existing home, which was severely damaged by

[7:57] her accumulated storm weather and are seeking to replace it with a new single family home

[8:03] provided by rebuilt border program.

[8:06] However, this property is referred to as a non-performing law and record, meaning that it

[8:10] was created prior to current zoning standards.

[8:13] Today's zoning standards require a minimum of 50 feet, a 50 foot front set back, and a minimum of some 180 square feet of living space for residents.

[8:24] Sound found the property to be only a hundred feet wide and 87.5 feet deep, leaving zero-buildable area, if it were to adhere to the current standards.

[8:35] therefore the property owner is digging a 20-foot or 40% front and rear setback reduction,

[8:42] the lease amount required to fit the new home. And here he comes.

[8:49] And for a view and analysis of this request, the staff has concluded that the proposal will meet

[8:53] all the criteria that's listed in the LDC section 11.03, therefore staff recommends the

[9:01] and zoning board to recommend the approval to the Board of County Commissioners of the

[9:05] and my son for four and a minute into the record.

[9:17] Questions or comments from the board?

[9:34] Did you actually state the footage of the house that was really put there?

[9:41] I don't know.

[9:43] This square foot?

[9:45] Yeah.

[9:56] There's a diamond there.

[10:15] 7777117.

[10:16] If 780 is the memo, it's above the calendar.

[10:21] You don't meet our item.

[10:23] Any

[10:32] questions or comments from the one?

[10:37] Does the driven exit in?

[10:42] Can we get out of there from your dispatch?

[10:46] I believe it's a ding.

[10:48] Yes, innocent head and rub.

[10:51] Which

[10:56] one is the comments from the one?

[10:57] I see here that it's surrounded all the way by mosaic landers, is it just on one side?

[11:05] No, it is not completely surrounded by mosaic land.

[11:12] It's on the side plant, where it shows that out.

[11:16] Why not?

[11:17] It shows that mosaic and it's literally LLC and the JR pole family are the property diverse.

[11:29] Any

[11:43] questions or comment from the general public?

[11:49] Can you say your name and address for the record, please?

[11:54] I think you have turned it on at the bottom.

[11:57] I believe those batteries are out.

[12:00] You may have to sit down and press the button into the microphone.

[12:03] I'd tell you.

[12:05] Yeah, yeah.

[12:07] You just got to hold the button when you see

[12:11] it.

[12:12] Good evening, Sarah Meyer.

[12:13] with two very engineers, 800 North Magnolia Avenue or Florida,

[12:18] here on behalf of Rebuild Florida and the homeowner.

[12:21] I just wanted to come up and introduce myself,

[12:24] but we're agreement with staffs recommendation and their analysis.

[12:27] The square footage of the new building will be about 1100 square feet,

[12:31] so definitely meet the minimum requirements.

[12:34] And then if there's any other questions you have,

[12:35] be happy to try this on the board.

[12:49] We have any other questions or comments from the general system?

[12:52] see

[12:57] no more. I'll request a motion to either approve, approve with conditions or deny

[13:05] plans on a agenda number 26-62 and I apologize you're making a recommendation to

[13:13] the Board of County Commissioners.

[13:15] There we are. Recommendation.

[13:22] Yeah, I'll make a motion to recommend to look for the kind of commissioners for approval

[13:32] on the agenda item number 2662 to reduce the front and rear side back from 50 to 20 feet

[13:41] and on a 0.23, plus you might as well make a parcel located on south side of Griffin with

[13:48] road to accommodate the replacement hole of a property owner.

[13:53] We'll have a second.

[13:54] We'll second.

[13:57] All in favor.

[13:57] Stay that.

[13:59] I wear it.

[14:00] All that opposed.

[14:01] Stayed today.

[14:12] This brings us to planning and zoning agenda number 26-53 from Daniel Burgess, Circle K stores

[14:19] in as the applicant, and it authorized for representative for the property owner.

[14:24] is requesting approval of a site development planning construction plan, slash site construction plan.

[14:32] The purpose of this public hearing is to hear the request to receive public input and make a decision.

[14:39] And with that, I'll hand it out to the team and Mr. Joshua.

[14:42] Good evening for the record Joshua Cheney with Hardy County Community Development.

[14:50] Again, this request is for a site development plan and site construction plan for the development of a 5200 square foot convenient store

[14:57] with fuel pumps and a total of 2.0.

[15:00] Ninth of the acres of land located at the southwest corner of the intersection of state road 62 in the U.S. Highway 17, which you can see here in our location now.

[15:12] The property owner is Kalin Atala. The applicant is circle case source incorporated.

[15:18] J.R.C. Stubbs is the project engineer, and here's what Kim Lake Horn. The future land use is how we've excuse the zoning is C2, which is general commercial.

[15:32] This 2.97 acre subject property is currently vacant, as you can see from the image here,

[15:37] it is heavily wooded, however, historical aerial imagery indicates that it may have been used

[15:42] for our cultural purposes up until the early 1990s.

[15:49] Gasling sales, which includes a convenience store with gas such as this, and it will not

[15:54] I should note include automotive service, or any kind of mechanical services, is a permittive

[15:59] use within the C2 General Commercials Audit District, however, a site to help plan a review

[16:04] is required as per our ULDC.

[16:13] To have reviewed the minimum site development requirements and we have prepared a table

[16:19] for you as you will see in the staff report briefly over that they didn't leave the minimum

[16:25] Austrian parking requirements.

[16:26] It was three spaces per 1,000 square foot.

[16:29] They have provided 25 as well as one handicap space.

[16:34] The parking install size is 10 by 20 foot, which is meeting the minimum requirements.

[16:39] the lot size will exceed the 4000 square foot minimum lot size. The setbacks are 50 for the

[16:46] fronts. The side is zero and the rear is 15. They exceed that greatly. As you can see in the

[16:52] table there, the signage will be required to meet the 15 foot max height and that will review

[16:58] after this meeting. Landscape and buffering is per section 15. I'm sorry, 5.13 of our land of Ola code

[17:08] And we do have a landing moment, our landscape plan, excuse me, and we have reviewed it for

[17:15] compliance with our code and found it to meet all the standards.

[17:21] As it relates to the findings of fact that we're not already mentioned, I do want to make

[17:25] you aware that most recent traffic counts on U.S. 17 North adjacent to the site are 25,000

[17:31] AADT in every day, most recent traffic count on state row of 62

[17:36] patients in the site are approximately 6,100 average annual daily trips.

[17:41] The proposed development will be served by Hardy County Central Water

[17:44] and Santeria's sewer systems.

[17:48] We did not note any flood zone or NWI wetlands on the site.

[17:57] This site development plan application was reviewed by the Hardy County

[18:01] development review committee on July 10th, 2026.

[18:09] In line with that, the fire prevention officer had reviewed the plans and has determined

[18:12] all fire and safety requirements of the fire code applicable at this time have been met.

[18:18] The applicant did provide a major traffic impact analysis and the analysis concluded that

[18:24] the proposed uses anticipated generate 712 new daily external trips and 67 new AMP

[18:30] power trips consisting of 33 inbound trips of 34 outbound trips based on the ITE trip generation

[18:39] rates.

[18:40] Additionally, an operational analysis conducted for existing background and build up conditions

[18:44] of all intersections within the study area and the analysis conclude that all study intersections

[18:49] are anticipated to operate at acceptable level of service during peak hour conditions and

[18:54] the operational deficiencies resulting from project gerate traffic, where identifying.

[19:00] So, in conclusion, and pursuant to the review and analysis of the above-sided standard,

[19:06] staff finds out that the granting of approval of a site development planning and site

[19:10] construction plan for those used to be consistent with the purpose and intent of the

[19:14] hardy-cutting unified table code and the hardy-cutting comprehensive plan. Therefore, staff recommends

[19:20] approval to the plans on import of a site-level plan and a site construction plan to develop

[19:24] at 5200 square foot convenience store for fuel pumps on a total of 2.97 acres of land situated

[19:30] on a vacant parcel located west of the southbound lane of U.S. Highway 17 North. On the southwest

[19:36] quarter of the intersection of state road 62 in U.S. Highway 17 North, an unincorporated hearty

[19:42] county, subject to the conditions of approval, which will allow an army into the record. The first

[19:47] The site is going to play an approval, shall expire 12 months from the date of approval,

[19:51] unless a 12 month extension is granted by the Canadian Development Director, or an authorized design need.

[19:57] Any request for an extension shall be submitted in no fewer than 30 days.

[20:00] Prior to the expiration date, the purposes of this provision, initiation of construction shall be defined as the issuance of a billing permit for the project.

[20:09] Number two, all landscaping shall be installing conformance with the requirements of Section 5.1, 3.05 of the ULDC, and to the satisfaction of the community development department, or an authorized designation.

[20:22] Number three, all onsite signage shall comply with the requirements of our six sun regulations of ULDC,

[20:29] and to the satisfaction of the community development department, or authorised, doesn't need full-time domain sign shall not exceed 15 foot and height,

[20:36] ground sign shall not exceed six foot and height.

[20:39] And lastly, number four, the proposed convenience store gas station shall be designed and operated in accordance with the applicable

[20:46] provisions of Section 4.02.41 of the Hardy County ULDC.

[20:51] And with that, I don't know.

[20:53] Sorry.

[20:53] And with that, I'll stay in for any questions.

[20:56] If not, I believe the applicant is here as well.

[20:59] And they can answer any questions you may have.

[21:07] Questions that are comfortable for the board.

[21:09] I'm comfortable.

[21:09] Yes, ma'am.

[21:11] I think I'm reading the site point correctly.

[21:13] The entrance and exit is all on 62.

[21:17] Correct.

[21:19] Is it 17 you can pull in and out?

[21:32] I'm sorry, you're asking about the entrance on 62?

[21:36] I'm asking, is it only on 62 or is there entrance or exit on this 17?

[21:43] Well, I'll defer to the output to be provided specifics, but it does appear to be a right

[21:49] out on to 62 and then right in and right out on U.S. 17 or.

[21:56] And then remind me of that we have a light there now that's not thinking.

[22:02] Fully lighted intersection at this now.

[22:06] Yes.

[22:06] I was going to say that's good timing.

[22:08] Yeah.

[22:08] Good.

[22:08] Thank you.

[22:10] And then my other question is, because it looks like wetlands to me.

[22:14] It's driving about there all the time.

[22:15] But I read.

[22:16] It says the best of everyone for me.

[22:18] Kind of identifies new flood zones or NWI wetlands on the site.

[22:23] What is NWP-I?

[22:26] That is not an infernal wetlands inventory.

[22:29] It is a natural mapping of wetlands throughout the country.

[22:32] country, it's really essentially the best available information to kind of get a good idea

[22:38] if there's any wetlands on a property.

[22:41] So that's what we use as our best available information mapping.

[22:46] Okay, so the applicant's comfortable with what they've found here.

[22:51] I'd like to regard that.

[22:52] I'll leave that up to them.

[22:54] And this is the visual of an observation, not the entire site, but it does look like it goes down

[23:00] and looks wet to me.

[23:04] Again, I'll defer on to the app.

[23:06] I've known that however their application they will have to apply for a permit from

[23:11] Swift Mud and FTEP, so if there are any jurisdictional wetlands, they will indeed have to comply with state law and local.

[23:17] Thank you.

[23:23] Thanks for your comments from the board.

[23:29] Thank you.

[23:30] Have a good day.

[23:32] Are they going to start in two a month?

[23:35] Can the app begin here?

[23:38] Or are they serious about this thing?

[23:41] I mean, do you see here now?

[23:44] If the people ordered, if you would.

[23:47] Good evening.

[23:48] Members of the Board, Ryan Clark, King of Horn, 201 North Franklin Street, Tampa, Florida.

[23:54] To the first question about access, yes, they'll be right in right out of 62 and US-17.

[24:03] To the question about wetlands.

[24:05] Yes, yes, they are.

[24:07] The current wetlands are shown by NWI, but we are also in the middle of permitting with water management districts, with our environmental resource permit.

[24:13] And we're pretty close with that right now we're working with their wetlands action.

[24:19] In fact, it leads you to go out on site and walk in with our environmental scientists.

[24:24] So we're going through that process.

[24:28] If in regards to construction, I can't say for a certain, I know,

[24:32] circle K, you know, they've got a strong development force in the area.

[24:37] Hey, generally they don't mess around too much.

[24:39] I know they're eager about the area.

[24:43] That's fine.

[24:44] That's good.

[24:44] Do

[24:48] you have one question as far as if a car was traveling on Highway 17 headed north and

[24:55] They come up to the light and they wanted to go into this parking lot. How it's

[25:08] Could you go back to the overall site plan? I should be able to have an easy access there. Yes, okay.

[25:20] So it was part of our, so say we're a 62 and US-17 vote at the U.S.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.

[25:33] is to extend, so on the right side of your screen, so the north is on the right side, you can

[25:39] we're extending the northbound left, it's more of a decent lane to help account for any

[25:45] queue, but to your point you could either make the U-turn a mucher if there is 100% the best option

[25:55] there, or you can have to access from the south. It's not definitely not the optimal way to

[26:02] into the site, but with it being divided highway that is our restriction.

[26:07] So it would be kind of hard to go.

[26:09] If you turned, let's say, left on to 62 headed west and you would not be able to

[26:16] injure to that site.

[26:18] Correct.

[26:19] Yeah, that would not be the safest way to attach to the site.

[26:23] That was just something to try to do to that purpose.

[26:24] So

[26:32] if you're coming from, you're just going to get hung up on that.

[26:35] So if you're coming from, if you're heading north,

[26:37] is that what you're saying and turning in,

[26:40] your saying that you're working with 17 to see if you could get in.

[26:45] But for the light, don't do some.

[26:47] And you, no, they would have to make a U-turn.

[26:49] I don't even come back around.

[26:50] How do you still have to, oh, okay.

[26:53] Yes, so you ought to try to have, like, a turn-way into going southbound.

[26:58] Correct.

[26:59] To help facilitate that movement.

[27:00] And to my knowledge with the OTV,

[27:04] we're not in favor of outlawing a full access,

[27:09] I bet South driveway off the US-17.

[27:12] That data term, that was the same this bet.

[27:16] Yeah.

[27:16] One other question now.

[27:17] Everything, so the boundary thing to write,

[27:19] everything that's kind of cross-hacks there,

[27:21] it says that the OTV is going to be paying for all

[27:24] that roadwork.

[27:28] I believe the cross-hatches is more

[27:30] for us for construction purposes to denotate

[27:33] the different type of construction to be a more durable,

[27:37] having material, that DODCs more common,

[27:41] their typical section, well as the onsite portions

[27:44] can be a little bit different.

[27:45] It's not made up the same typical way.

[27:47] It's more of a contractor differentiation there.

[27:52] What circle case is going to be responsible for taking care

[27:55] of the correct?

[27:57] Yeah, circle K will be developing.

[27:58] and they'll be paying for all the developments.

[28:01] Well, one last question.

[28:03] I know it's a circle K south of that location,

[28:07] not too far away, maybe within a couple of miles

[28:09] that we're going to stay there or, you know,

[28:11] they're because of that one.

[28:13] I can't speak to that one, especially the existing facilities.

[28:18] Not quite far ahead of it.

[28:19] To the Bicke.

[28:21] Yeah, I was going to have the actual red light

[28:25] at that intersection totally changes this project,

[28:27] Because without that, I think it could be very interesting.

[28:33] So, yes, sir, there's a great little work.

[28:38] Do I have any other questions or comments?

[28:44] Do we have any other questions or comments from the general public?

[28:52] All right.

[28:53] Seeing none,

[28:58] requests to make a motion to approve with conditions,

[29:03] approve with recommended conditions, with changes,

[29:07] or deny planning and zoning application number 206-503.

[29:25] The mission to recommend approval for planning and zoning agenda number 253,

[29:29] a site development plan, site construction plan to construct a support kit,

[29:35] feeling station in the C2, general commercial zoning district,

[29:38] how we mixed use future land use category located on southwest corner of state word 62

[29:44] and U.S. how is 17 years with staff's recommended conditions?

[29:50] And we are approving, right? This is not a recommendation.

[29:55] Okay. So I need to make a motion to approve.

[30:00] May I have a second?

[30:02] That's a second.

[30:05] All in favor of state aye.

[30:08] All in a pose, state, nay, motion carries.

[30:18] I was briefed as to plan and zoning agenda number 26-56 from the very county industrial development authority.

[30:26] As property owners are requesting approval of a site development plan slash site construction plan.

[30:34] The purpose of this public hearing is to hear the request to receive public input and make a decision.

[30:40] And with that, I'll hand it over to you this week.

[30:43] Thank you Mr. Carolyn.

[30:45] Yes, this is a site development plan, site construction plan, application for a lot 31 of our hardy county commerce park.

[30:53] It's in the actual hardy county commerce park extension class.

[30:57] It's on the south side of the commerce park.

[31:00] You can see the lock here, it is on a commercial loop, we're kind of right at the corner.

[31:07] They, the applicants, the Industrial Development Authority, is requesting to build a 30,000 square foot manufacturing facility.

[31:17] And that facility would be laid out as you see here.

[31:22] But the property is a frequent 01 acres in size that is in the highly mixed used future land use category as well as the commercial and industrial business center zoning district which does allow industrial uses and facilities.

[31:42] All neighbouring properties also have highly mixed use future land use and C.I.B.C. or

[31:51] Commerce Industrial Business Center.

[31:54] He's only on it.

[31:56] So it just become kind of overall surrounding uses.

[32:01] This property is partly vacant.

[32:05] And it is, we have reviewed this site development plan to our development review committee,

[32:12] the internal staff committee that looks at all new applications before they come to you.

[32:18] And we have found no objections or issues.

[32:22] The application, under staff review, is determined to meet public requirements that the

[32:27] land development code, as well as the purchase and incentive of capital improvements, and

[32:32] a capital improvement, sorry, comprehensive plan.

[32:36] Therefore, staff is recommending a approval of the site development site's construction,

[32:40] plan for Lot 31, 30,000 square foot manufacturing facility. I will hand one thing that

[32:49] this is a spec building. It's a building that they are building first prior to having

[32:56] a set but it will be a ready made for any new manufactured manufacturer or industrial use that

[33:03] might come along. I will also note that the applicant in the applicant's representative this

[33:09] tonight. If you have any questions for them, without I'll conclude my work and go ahead and

[33:15] enter my staff reporting to the record and I'll be happy to answer any questions you

[33:19] have.

[33:25] Any questions or comments from the board?

[33:29] I'll say already answered my question.

[33:31] I was going to ask a lieutenant.

[33:40] The representative?

[33:42] There we go. Just in putting up this structure, I guess the question

[33:49] would be, I guess, a whole, or is there something else that's going to go in, do you have

[33:58] something else going inside for later?

[34:09] We're in consultants for the job and here representing the IDEA Industrial Development Authority.

[34:16] And my scope is, for the project, it's simply the civil side development layout, but I am in

[34:28] building plans and I'll say that they're getting pretty far along we have 60% plans but

[34:34] the front of that the front of the building on the well which would be a south side. It's

[34:39] all the buildings. There's a small portion of it that's all of this and a majority of the

[34:46] So

[34:53] it could be something, what's the foot of the larger plant they have of?

[35:00] Office section, I guess it's similar to that, and then where else in the back? Where are the store all there? That's already in the industrial parks, okay?

[35:17] Yes.

[35:19] What do you say, Regan?

[35:26] First, 1-7 East Main Street on behalf of the Industrial Development Authority, so to provide

[35:31] some context around this property and this project, we received a $6 million grant from the

[35:39] Department of Commerce to construct a manufacturing hub in the Hardy County Commerce Park

[35:45] for the purposes of adding it to the Industrial Development Authority's real estate portfolio

[35:50] to be used as a recruitment tool, as we are looking to locate new business into the market

[35:56] into Holy County. And so this is being built as a 30,000 square foot facility with the option

[36:04] to have to 15,000 square foot units so that we could either attract more than one company or one larger

[36:12] company that needs in much bigger space. And so as Brian spoke, we are doing some interior build out

[36:19] to the facility with office space on the front

[36:22] and then open warehouse so that once we were

[36:25] a credit tenant, then they can come in and do

[36:28] any additional improvements on the interior

[36:30] that would be specific to their needs.

[36:34] That took care of it.

[36:36] Thank you, Bob.

[36:37] OK.

[36:38] I was going to say, I like that idea of having it ready.

[36:42] It seems like a lot more seamless process

[36:44] to get somebody in there than wait and I'm building

[36:46] building for them.

[36:48] We find that having ready inventory is much more advantageous than not.

[36:56] We have been actually very blessed at that park that all of the buildings that we have constructed today.

[37:02] As we have started them as spec buildings, we have not gotten very far along in the process of design.

[37:07] And we have already recruited a tenant.

[37:09] So that's a blessing, and then also a kind of a hindrance to our program in that we're blessed

[37:17] that we've had tenants going into all of these buildings, and they are all occupied.

[37:21] We do not have a fake at facility, but it also creates a gap in a available inventory

[37:27] that we have to use as ready sites for folks that are looking to come in.

[37:32] And as you said, having a building that's already there and ready for someone to move into

[37:38] is a valuable asset and so we are trying to create additional space so that we have that inventory available now.

[37:45] I hope that we personally can recruit somebody very quickly to go into these spaces and then we will, you know, go out for additional grant dollars to start the next one.

[38:00] Questions or comments for the board?

[38:04] I guess is there a couple of times? Is there a time?

[38:07] A panel this one month or no or?

[38:11] I didn't see it and we don't put time limitation.

[38:16] Mr. Chair, I can't share with you that we actually have timelines in our grant agreement with the state that we have to meet and so we will be working towards those.

[38:28] We have obligations that we have to meet in that grant order agreement as well and so we want to make sure that we do everything we can to meet those timelines.

[38:43] Do we have any other questions or comments from the general public?

[38:48] Seeing none, I will request a motion to either approve

[38:56] With staff's recommendations

[38:58] We have recommendations

[39:02] No, okay, either approve

[39:05] Approved with recommendations or did not play an endsoning agenda number 26-56.

[39:16] Oh, I don't like a motion

[39:18] Can we're approving this correct?

[39:20] Okay, we're gonna get that started right approve the

[39:24] I'd like to move you to approve that.

[39:26] Playing is only a agenda number 26 to actually, to six side development plans, side

[39:31] construction plans to construct a 30,000 square foot building was already partying on a 3.0

[39:38] one, plus or minus take a partial look at home on the west side of Comers Court, known as

[39:44] Lop 31, and Hardie County, Comers Park Extension, and unincorporated, Hardie County was

[39:51] stay of recommended conditions.

[39:58] Okay.

[40:00] Would stress the conditions.

[40:05] May we have a second.

[40:10] All in favor, stay that.

[40:12] All opposed, aye.

[40:13] All opposed, aye.

[40:15] All after kicks.

[40:23] All right, our next regular meeting public hearing, will be Thursday October 1,

[40:27] 2026 at 6 o'clock PM.

[40:30] Do we have anything else?

[40:36] No, sure.

[40:38] We have an organizational item to discuss.

[40:42] I'm assuming we have some stuff following the agenda for October 1st at the middle.

[40:47] This thing is too light up right?

[40:51] Yep, just a few days so far.

[40:54] These two items that we just moved to.

[41:00] All right.

[41:01] I'm going to get a motion to adjourn in seconds.

[41:05] I'm going to make the motion to adjourn.

[41:07] Second.

[41:11] All of their state.

[41:12] All of those state names.
