applicant was aware that it is a "no, no" what they did. He said especially when 
dealing with hazardous materials, He said if this were to happen again he would be 
the one that would vote against it so he wants to make sure that they continue to 
work with staff, He said regarding Item c. the only thing they are approving tonight 
is the preliminary plan as the zoning has already been approved by the 
Commission and would be going to Council on December 7, 2020. He continued 
that the meeting tonight was strictly about the architecture, He said that if they 
were in the study session tonight they have already heard the stipulations that have 
been added to the case regarding the signage and building elevations, He made a
