everything I need to do to apply for a special permit, upon which then I stuck my head in the <br />sand, because it was so overwhelming, and I'm a one person show at this point. So yeah, I chose <br />to stick my head in the sand. I've now had to take my head out of the sand and apply that's just <br />where I came from to start my (inaudible) for a special permit. Questions? <br />CHAIR: Do we have further questions? <br />MALANKA: You said that this has changed the scope of things for you. Would you say <br />that that is a positive or a negative? <br />LLOYD ROBERTS: Well, it's a negative from the standpoint the third loan I applied <br />for, that it was not common knowledge that I had no special use permit.

I'm going down with the ship. <br />CHAIR: In that letter Ms. Siracusa put in the newspaper - -in your opinion, could it have <br />been handled a different way or a better way? <br />LLOYD-ROBERTS: Actually, I would have preferred if she had come to talk to me first. <br />I really do.

She could have very easily come up <br />to me and <br />CHAIR: - -and had a discussion with you on the side- <br />LLOYD- <br />ROBERTS: - -and I would have gladly filled her in on the situation. <br />CHAIR: Did you feel she was a planning commissioner when she wrote that on the <br />Planning Commission? <br />LLOYD-ROBERTS: Well, I knew, so my take on it was that she was coming from that, <br />you know, giving information that businesses aren't allowed here, although some of her <br />information was wrong, you know, that this is not allowed. And the fact that she listed a whole <br />bunch of people that were against, supposedly, this was what was disconcerting to me <br />(inaudible), because that isn't totally true, you know. That was a false statement. <br />
