From the transcript
Mr. Gilson. I keep having trouble with the one person who has concerns about the grading, that after— if we approve this and then they grade and it's a mess for this other one, uh, what happens? So part of what they're going to have to supply is an updated soils report and do the work within the scope of our PD&E approval. So, if they're doing regrading, a drainage report would be a requirement if they're exceeding that minimum threshold of 10,000 square feet of total moved land. So, if there's enough of an impact that would trigger something like that, they would have to show they're, well, not causing that problem.
