Speaker 1     00:01:09    One nation under God, indivisible, Mr. Clearly, are there any changes to our agenda this evening?

Jeff's not a place that is until March 24th with no further notice as, since go through all the changes that I have.  
Speaker 1     00:01:53    Thank you, Mr. Kinneally. I didn't. I left my revised agenda at work. Laura is number six, where we're going to start then JSN  
Speaker 0     00:02:05    Actually going forward today  
Speaker 1     00:02:06    By item number six. I just, I want to eat the right number. That's all stuff. And enjoy it now guys. It's 21 dash ZB dash 82 V JSM at Centennial LLC.  
Speaker 2     00:02:25    Phase one comma. Yes, LLC. Thank you. My name is Irene Elkhart and we're here. I'm here on behalf of JSM at Centennial with the Weingarten law firm. We're here before the zoning board for an interpretation with regard to use that we're proposing in the shopping center zone. It's for our new tenant Trinity rehab. It's an outpatient physical therapy facility. The zoning ordinance doesn't identify the specific businesses that are permitted in the shopping center zone. Although it just generally indicates that business enterprises are permitted. So it seems to accommodate a broad range of business enterprises. I also just wanted to point out that we received a planning memo from the planner, Mr. Chadwick, wherein he had opined that this is a permitted use and recommends that the board granted. So just wanted to let you know that we have several folks here today. We have Ron all-in back. Who's the director of engineering and planning for the landlord, and he'll be able to respond to some other points that Mr Chadwick's planning memo has raised. We also have the tentative here, Tanya Gavin righties, and our planner. Christine could phone just in case there's any other questions that come up. So without any further delay, Ron, I dunno if he could be sworn in Ron, all of that.  
Speaker 4     00:04:12    Mr. all about. Could you raise your and you're muted. Thank you for sharing your testimony. You're about to give me the truth. I do your name and address please. Sure. Again, my name is Ronald Oland back at U L E N B a C H. I'm the director of engineering and planning for Edgewood properties, parent company, chase on the Centennial. Laura. I believe if I could share my screen. All right ahead. I believe everybody's familiar with the site. This would be a proposed tenant located in the retail strip center. That's immediately adjacent to the infinity credit union or to the right-hand side. As you pull in the center office, Centennial at the light, the traffic signal by Lowe's there that's the former pet value former Sleepy's area. And Trinity is looking to occupy just, just over 3000 square feet located in that area. There again, Ms. L guard indicated it's a physical therapist. Typical hours are 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, seven days a week. But again, as, as Mr. Chadwick had talked about as Ms. Christine  discuss, we feel it's a, it's a good add to the center and we look forward to the, the boards has any questions for me. I'm here to answer any questions. The board may have  
Speaker 1     00:05:43    Don, did you have any questions? No. Okay. Any other members of the board have any questions or comments?  
Speaker 4     00:05:55    Steve Weissman? I  
Speaker 3     00:05:56    Have a question, Mr. Chadwick about parking. Is there sufficient?  
Speaker 5     00:06:07    It is to a retail use. Retail would have a higher parking demand than a physical therapy. The, the real cases that the overall center is under a parking standard, which embraces a lot of different uses. Most of which would be of a greater parking demand than this. So I feel comfortable with the conditions.  
Speaker 1     00:06:40    Okay. Thank you gentlemen. Any other members of the board hearing none I'm comfortable to move on at this point? Anyone in the public portion have any questions or comments for this individual or about the application? The request Laura Chairman. So the public portion is closed then with the recommendation of Mr. Chadwick and his expertise, I would say we should move ahead. I'd like to make a motion to move ahead and grant the, the request We take up Laurie.  
Speaker 3     00:07:33    And just, just to explain the board, what you're voting on here is this is a request for interpretation and your vote is to say that this is a permitted use in the zone.
