KNOWLES: —It only matters if it's a large-scale development as opposed to <br /> what [indecipherable crosstalk] Mike had also— <br /> DEFRANCO: I hear what you're saying but I don't think that this is the discussion <br /> here. <br /> KNOWLES: No, it may not be but I'm trying to put it, I'm trying to put it on the <br /> record. <br /> DEFRANCO: Okay. <br /> KNOWLES: So that when this conversation goes to the County Council — <br /> DEFRANCO: Yes. <br /> KNOWLES: — or our recommendation or— <br /> VITOUSEK: In this case we're the deciding body since it's an SMA. <br /> KNOWLES: Oh, that's right. <br /> VITOUSEK: So, we issue an approval. <br /> KNOWLES: It's on us.
