One thing that I would like to say in a minute is that on the 15th of March, when we gave approval to the COA for Charles Bridwell, the COA's part was to remove the existing independent signage and it has not been done yet. I think we are working on it. Okay. Okay. Now, the next task is to choose its owners. As far as I understand, Sakat and I will be out of commission at the end of the second calendar year. Is this right, Gabe? I think so. Yes, I will have to investigate with Kim, but I think so. Okay, this is right. Do you know anyone else who is serving now and if he is chosen because of his job, then he may not be eligible to serve?
117.24210.021282 B2 10.595 10.595 117 The design, design, location and the location of the parcel and many other necessities in the last plot of the ground. As shown in the picture of the project Abhinan Zoning Gardeners, the need and entry of the corridor is based on the necessities. The side will continue from Paunch Cook Street, which is associated with the Meadows Complex, and the property or zone is also associated with two general businesses, or FOS, which is a farm, jungle and open space. This place and the parcel are comparable in size. The owner of the building has the right to have a face and an ear mark. The limit of the building is the height of the face and the distance of the mark is given. The shape of the chenna has a length of 12 feet and a length of 2 feet. The proposed chenna will be made of metal and LED light channels and will be lit internally. The chenna will be painted in the same color as the building. The total size of the chenna will be 94.5 feet, which meets the requirements of the Maddow's limit agreement. The chenna will be painted in the same color and the company's logo will be blue, green and teal as shown in the rendering. The appearance of the building is a representation of the previous height and height of the shoulder chain. Maddow's agreement gives permission for the height and height of the previous height and height of the shoulder chain. The shape of the chain is allowed up to a grade of 1 foot for each linear foot of the shoulder and 12 feet of the shoulder. The back of the chen is the face chen of the north wall, and the raised material and the colour match and will be illuminated internally. The total size of the chen will be 4.91 square feet, which meets the requirements of the agreement. The existing and pre-standing pylon chen and the chen for business will also be present for the meadows plan unit development. The pylon chen will be 3.12 square feet and the pylon chen will be 9.09 square feet. and there are two landmarks. That's why there will be one. I forgot to add the site plan in the presentation. There should be a copy of it in your packet. That's why there is one there where it is visible in front of Cook Street and the other is where you come out of Green Springs Road and reach Food City Parking Lot on that road. That's why the second sign is there. That's why the second sign and the first sign have the same arrangement.
Amber, I have a question. Is this only for the state of Franklin which is changing it from there? Yes, this is correct.
To a large extent. Yes. This is a little smaller than the state of Franklin. Does anyone want to say anything about this?
Is there any other question or tip from the Commission? If not, then what is your opinion? Very good. I think the proposed signage looks very good. Is there anyone who would like to approve this? I would like to propose that we approve this. Okay. Is there anyone who would like to support this? Support. Okay. Is there anyone who would like to discuss this? If not, then please come forward. Mr. Austin? Yes. Mr. Thomason? Yes. Mr. Pennington? Yes. Mr. Soprales? Yes. Mr. Wilson? Yes. Mr. Schumann? Yes.

We would like to take the call in front of you, as discussed in the previous meeting, but until it is completed, we would like you to all meet.
Now, forgive me. I was saying that I only had one question. I mean about that standing sign. Is there any problem with its height? This is an existing sign like this.
Therefore, this is generally a policy. If this is just to change the face, then it is acceptable. But if they say to remove the sign and put a new sign, then we will make sure that this is the right distance from the road.
It seems that he is now changing the current sign.
Yes, only his face, the current sign will remain in its place.
You know, there is another one where when we gave this special sign approval, we said that we will remove that Abington Patriot. This is a virtual building. It looks like the same building. Okay, forgive me. Amber lehi koi hor sawal? Koi tipni? Je nahi, ta ki koi mata hai? I would like to present that we accept the request made. Okay. Is there anyone to support this? I will support. Okay. Any other discussion? If not, then please come. Shri Ousatin. Yes. Shri Thomason. Yes. Shri Pennington. Yes. Shri Sapralas. Yes. Shri Wilson. Yes. Shri Shuman. Yes. Next work. I think the question will be that we should go to the old works of the agenda and not the current ones and go to those two that have been included in the agenda.
Before doing that, I can take the idea of investigating the agenda to include these two. Now.
Oh, okay. Yes. I suggest that we investigate the agenda to include both of them. I agree. Okay. Okay. I agree with all the rights. Okay. Is there any opposition? Okay. Now, what order do you want to keep them in? Let's start with 449 West Main Street. 469. Okay. Yes, and I can go ahead. This is a certificate of approval. Andrew Nise, the manager of Binaykar and the owner of Belmont Capital LLC has asked for approval of the approval certificate for these written things. Color the existing building in the same color. Color the entire trim of the 469-seat Main Street and the existing building in Antique White. Tax Plan No. 28 January 2019 In Koshak, this property is also located inside the General District B-3 Pari and Entrance Corridor and can be seen from the public road. Therefore, before it is completed, the Yojana Commission needs approval.
So Andrew Nais Bhinnekar, the owner of Manager and Belmot Capital LLC has asked for a written consent. Color the main building with extra white, which is the digital paint card given in your package. And then color all the edges of the building with antique white. Or vice versa. Okay, I was thinking the same. So, the main building has to be colored with antique white and the edges with extra white. So, again, you have that digital paint card. Antique white looks a little creamier than extra white. But just like the Physician's building is there.
Exactly the same thing.
And again, this 449 West Main Street is located. Oh, West Main Street. So, you may remember that there was a gas station, there was a roof. They removed that roof.
Yes, and that's why they still want to renovate it. So, this is their first step to make it better. So, if you have any questions for us, then he is present here. Yes, we are going to remove the sign board of the auto service from it. Yes, we are still trying to change this into something that is less than a retail office. If you can give us your full name and address. It doesn't matter if the business is good or bad. Yes, whatever it is. Okay. Andrew Nais, Nais Management Group, 112 Corridor Street. And this is Abington. Okay. That's all we need to do now. Now, move forward. Move forward. Move forward and give us whatever presentation you want to give. This is very important for us. Meaning? We are just trying to upgrade the second part. We remove the roof. We don't have any other roofs, so we won't remove anything else. We apologize for that. This will just be an ordinary thing. Meaning? We are trying to make it a little better. I don't know. Sometime I might come here again and talk about paving. Is this something new that I will have to do? No, if you are just sealing it now. Yes, so, we are trying to upgrade it a little. This is in a very bad condition. Any questions for Mr. Nice? Is there any other discussion? If not, then what is the matter? I will keep the proposal of approving as presented. I will support. Okay. Is there any other discussion? If not, then please come forward. Mr. Aston. Yes, I am. Mr. Thomason. Yes. Mr. Pennington. Yes. Mr. Sproles. Yes. Mr. Wilson. Yes. Mr. Schumann. Yes. Okay. Thank you.
Okay. Next work is COA. City officials, civil servants, such as Linda Gardner-Neal, the trustee owner, have requested for the approval of the certificate of eligibility. I will not give the details, but this 600 Punjab Street Main Street is located in is in the entrance corridor of Baru 2, JGBD. Therefore, the Yojana Commission needs to be approved before it is completed. There are approximately 44 acres of land in the property and it is located at 665 West Main Street. According to the land record, the current building was built around 1904. It used to be built by Gibbettus Auto and is now being built by Antique Station. The West Main Street will continue to the side. The property of Uttar Purab and Pachamwal is also located in Central Business District B3 and Dakhanwal High Density Rehashiyar 3 zones. Bhinnekar has requested for the same things. First thing was to remove the sign of the current work, as shown in the picture there. Actually, there is one more thing that is not visible in that picture. That is, he will remove them and put a 65-degree, 26-foot x 6-foot metal wall sign on the upper face and primary entrance doors, as shown in the rendering provided. The 8-foot-tall and 1.6-inch-wide and 80-inch-high steel 12-door door is shown in the rendered rendering. The 8-foot-tall and 1.6-inch-wide and 80-inch-high steel door is shown in the rendered rendering. and they will put a wooden deck or concrete path 5 feet wide from every missing door to every parking lot. There is a picture of the two doors presented there. And even on that slide, they are placing a roof over their stop where there are no doors at this time. Therefore, instead of removing the wood above them, they will anchor the canopy sign on top of it, where the canopy is not a sign, only a canopy, just a roof. There will be no sign of it. and 12 doors are needed by the building court because they should have missing doors because there has been a change in the current situation. Any questions for Amber?
That's why there will be approximately one door here and one door behind. That's why, to give you another presentation, this is the back part where this building is next to the ice cream shop. So, that shoulder is up there and then behind this building is the door. And here is the sign. I think this is very good because the building is now empty. So, any other question, any discussion? These decks that they are connecting are only the new wooden doors that they are installing.
Yes, it will take some time for them to reach the wooden doors to the parking lot. Yes. So, this is a wooden deck or concrete?
Another question? No. Is there any doubt? I request that you accept the proposal we have presented. Okay. Is there anyone else? I request someone else. Okay. Any other discussion? No, Jekar, you will do the role call. Mr. Austin? Yes. Mr. Thompson? Yes. Mr. Pennington? Yes. Mr. Sopralas? Yes. Mr. Wilson? Yes. And Mr. Schuman? Yes. Okay. Okay. Next business is less discussion. Entrance Corridor Overlay Signage. Now, there are many red lines in your packet that had no connection to the sign. That's why I can tell you a little about this. That's why when we did that one line again that the historian overlaid, we forgot to change it. So to keep it clean so that people don't get involved, this park is called Entrance Corridor. But then what is this historic district Entrance Corridor, so we have to keep it clean. Then we changed things so that the sign could be given permission by the staff. So there was some housekeeping with this sign. Okay. And then it was brought by HBRB. Here is another park for small things. We wanted to bring it in front of you because you will have to pay taxes to buy it. That's why you can see it up there. But it wasn't anything big. These are just some changes that are related to their design direction, the last meeting about updating the instruction, and we were going to small things and it was in our code section. We had to make sure that our code section matches the direction of their instruction, which is Loni's. That's why one of the items in the list is just housekeeping. Make sure that everything is in order that how you label things and then the small one too. That's why I just wanted to show you this. If you have any tips now, we will take them. Or if you want to take it home, want to see it, see if you have any tips, questions, concerns about that paper, then I will be very happy to answer them or discuss them.
That's why, if you come, we will actually find a zoning tax.
In the next meeting, let's say, maybe, yes, yes, we just have to cover Sainan. Okay, Sainan and Chota and other things. Yes, yes, yes, that's a part of it. That's why, again, there are not many things to keep in the car. This is just to remove the historic district and make a safe entrance corridor over it. We will again check to make sure that we have not left anyone else. But we want to make sure that there is a solution in our ordinance so that we do not get involved in anyone. And the other two are the constitutional changes. There are a few more, but the things imposed by the state were not voluntary. We had already applied in a way. We will have to give permission to them only as a single family, but we had already applied in the field where we have the permission to be voluntary in many of our fields and we are provided with a court section of this kind. Now, Sahai Kimarta, as per the law, is owned by almost any district. Yes. Yes, and we have some issues where it is a special district.
That is why it is the place where we have to make most of the changes. It is in our district matrix where we just have to remove it and get it right. That is why again, we were in the field. With this, very minor changes. Nirmat Rehaishan, he has changed where Raj is now looking at any single-billet or stick-billet building. That's why they are not actually in a single-family. That's why wherever they are single-family or two-family, that's why we will now have to give them permission by right as we do to any stick-billet. That this will be some kind of injustice again that we will have to give permission. I mean, I understand that we will have to do this.
But will this also be a zoning tax search? Yes, but this is not in our ordinance. The king gives permission to it, so we will give permission to it. But because our ordinance is currently colliding with it, so it is better to change it. So that everything is in harmony with it that the king needs and that we will need. So this is part of the Dillon Rule State. Yes, so what you are seeing here, there are a lot of constitutional changes in it where we are only managing the implementation of everything. So we wanted to keep this in front of you. There will be more. But this is the year that we feel we have completed most of it. Therefore, if you have any suggestions, we will be very happy to hear them. If not, then we will re-investigate everything. We will just make sure that we have everything and then it will come to your next meeting. I hope that the tax return will be paid before the program. Because I think we especially want to reach Sainan where the staff can give them permission and we have to do the rest of the work.
Yes, yes, that's why. But then, as I said, when I was asking other people, we were in front of most of the areas. That's why it's a matter of respect for every person who does better work, board, commission, everyone, that we are in front of some areas. That's why there are only small and big things.
Any questions for Gabe? I think we will be in touch with him in the next meeting. Yes.
Do you want to keep anything else in front of the Commission? Oh, you have a special plan. No, it will not be in this or it should not be in this. But we are working on obtaining RFP for it. Eid, I think he is working on something, something else. That's why he is updating his procedures. And I talked to Kenny when I saw him. I think you were coming out of that Eid thing.
Maybe we are thinking about time and methods when we all have discussed about how we want to set the time and field of the city. That's why we are thinking of making plans for all the small fields. Maybe this will be something new that we will also get in that development plan. Those projects are not the reason why we are going because sometimes it is a misunderstanding that if it is in the development plan then it will be used. Not necessary. Like we had a project which was to be included in a lot of parcels and then we said no. We are not hesitating. That is why we will make sure that this development plan will have an end, an appendix. That is why. But oh, the work that that face has done for economic development. Now, I think this is the thing that we can apply in the work plan and we will not need to do it again because they have asked the advisor and a group did this work. Yes, now you can add the entire end of the report, appendix, etc. But what I mean is that I think that the group has done a lot of good work. Yes, and I think a lot of them are doing their tourism work because it has been a long time since they updated their work. Therefore, there are a lot of projects in it that can be used for their organization, such as in the case of HBRB, If they update their management plan, then for that board commission, all the guidance documents will be a part of the comp plan. Yes, because this is what they follow. Yes, but yes, this is all I have for you. Yes, and as I said, we will try to implement them as soon as possible because we are indebted to the plan commission that they give the staff the right to approve them. We just have to make it legal in accordance with our ordinance. So, Is there any other work in front of the Commission? If not, then is there any intention to resume the meetings? I present the intention that we are doing some support, second, support, whatever is in its right. Yes, we agree. Yes, there is some opposition. We resume the meetings.
