Commission Member Bentley said that he has been on the other side of this as a citizen 
and appreciates that everyone has come out. He was surprised that no one knew about 
this before last week and would have thought that this was a hot topic of discussion. He 
acknowledged that senior housing is lacking in Smyrna, and that there are few to zero 
options if one should want to downsize. He is aware of how bad traffic is and understands 
the concern with rental vs ownership. Also, he wanted to acknowledge that Mr. Brown has 
attempted to accommodate everything he was getting as feedback. He made more 
concessions on the project than any other developer he has worked with.
