I'll spell it out for you.
These are the comments that had Corbella weeping.
Quote:
“We are sympathetic to the owner and the franchisee, but this situation actually represents an opportunity for them to build something so much better on the site than what is proposed,” wrote Farrell, as she strongly recommended refusal of the development application.
Farrell wrote to the board that she wants “a mixed-use, high-density development at this location, either with this site alone or combined with the adjacent parcel that is prime” for redevelopment.
“Such a project could even include a new Dairy Queen, but of course without a drive-thru. This is a tremendous opportunity for the owner to extract significantly more financial value out of the site than with what is proposed,” wrote Farrell.

Which, even though the owner got his approval for the modified drive-through, is exactly what he ended up realizing.
The question mark was a trick to see if you could come up with the right conclusion yourself.
Druh was right.
