1:27:14Uh um Uh one quick question. Can you put that picture back up? That you just had.

1:27:26So So what are they doing there?

1:27:30The existing building that is currently there is an automotive repair shop. That building is going to be demolished and turned into a take five oil change. However, to reconfigure the lot properly so that the structure will fit and meet the uh setback requirements, a vacation is required. of a portion of the right-of-way that just kind of cuts through the the front of that parcel.

1:28:00Okay. Well that's great. Uh because they do a very nice job of landscaping. That'll really help that area aesthetically because it needs it. Okay, I'm good.

1:28:10Thank you. Mr. Chairman Mariano. Commissioner Mariano. Uh thanks for keeping the map up. When I look at the sidewalk it's being cut up, I'm sure you're gonna make arrangements where the sidewalk's gonna continue around as well when the new development comes in.

1:28:26I yes, the existing plans that were approved by our planning and development team do allow for the sidewalk to continue. It's going to be landscaped with uh different types of myrtles and some uh strawberry.

1:28:47Thank you. I'll move approval.

1:28:49Uh just uh one second. She just said something that caught my ear. Um that we got away from using and crate myrtles as

1:28:58required
