What was said

What members said, in order

They're often our dearest friends, especially during the pandemic. I imagine we all had a lot of neighborly gatherings. I think the addition does not really change the look of the property. I don't think it impacts the feel of the neighborhood. Um, I, I, I, it just doesn't, um, seem like anyone's going to care once it's done.Janet Riley · Councilmember2:13:48
