just looking to kind of expand on what Zach said we're we're looking at completely gutting the whole inside of it and and kind of doing what we did in the Artisan Plaza and making it more Hospital friendly putting walls up stuff like that um and so it's kind of very similar to what we did previously at The Artisan plaza where we're at now so that's really all I have if you guys have any questions can ask me anything it doesn't matter um but that's kind of the gist I know Diane you asked about parking there is according to the survey there's 30 ft in front of the building we will own stuff on the side is 46 acres is that lot and most of it is off to the side where the gravel is and then there's 30 ft in front so at some point in time we'll probably put stripes in the front for parking just to make it very you know observant for people because there is no it's just black top right now so but that's all I had I don't know if you guys have any questions but that's all I had any questions just wondering do you do you feel this is a good is this the one size that you were looking to get to I don't know how I know I was looking at the thing where it says there's only so many dogs you're allowed to have is this the size that's basically what you're bringing over from Artisan would be about the same size so it's actually the square footage wise is bigger the number of pets is um we don't keep anything overnight right now and so that was something that we were talking about doing of of other avenues of different business adventures and just the animal clinic but this building would just be the Magnolia Animal Hospital and so 20 is I think that's what the city is is for 20 um that's fine for right now that's fine I'm not saying for right I shouldn't have said for right now but that's fine for the vet clinic if we do something else it'll be somewhere else oh okay so yep so yeah we're actually almost

6:51 – 8:500

doubling our our square footage space for just the hospital alone and you were renting that one before is that cor correct this is all always the plan when I signed that lease with David Olsen back when David Olsson owned it this was always I was up front this was always the plan and our lease is up June 30th okay and so I signed a four-year lease back in 20 uh June or July 1st of 2021 and so now we're coming up to that and this has been always the plan is to build I was planning on building a new new facility this came opportunity came so it was one of those things that price was better trying to build a brand new clinic right now is absolutely insane for pricing so that's this is where we're at so we're actually doubling the space that we actually have so cool which is a win-win yep so yep any other questions perfect thanks guys thank you you thank you and we'll ask uh second time is there anyone who would like to speak on this issue final call anybody who would like to speak on the conditional use permit not public hearing is now closed we will move on to discussion of the conditional use permit do you want to say anything more Zach or are you done that kind of sums it up pretty well our questions comments sounds to me like it's a good deal for him good deal for this town I think it's a good move I really do and if he gets bigger he'll have to move somewhere else but that's just the way it is there's only one of them that's right other question no I agree I think this this makes a ton of sense um looks good it's already Zone that way

8:51 – 10:500

yeah if no there discussion is there a motion to approve the conditional use permit motion to approve second second okay that's move Douglas second any further discussion all in favor I I oh n so moved done deal um and the next item is just discussion uh the mar vacation we talked about that quite a while ago and Zach will update us all right so new members bear with me because it might be a little confusing but try my best to kind of explain the series of events that have led up to today but last year Planning Commission and city council vacated a portion of stouton Street it was a vacation of City RightWay um to allow for Mr William Marsh to be able to build a home on his lot because his current lot is super small um upon trying to record that CU all vacations have to be recorded with good Hue County um it was denied because the resolution had stated that the land would go to Mr Marsh but in reality the northern part of the vacation would go to the county and the southern half would go to the city um so there's nothing to vote on tonight but I wanted to let you guys know that unless you have any problems or any things you think may be wrong there's going to be a an amended resolution that will be brought to the next council meeting um that will kind of clear things up and then if that is approved Mr Marsh will still he'll then have to either he'll talk to the city or the county about purchasing the land but at least that way that's an option for

10:46 – 12:460

him so it was already approved it was paid for by Mr Marsh but we wanted to bring just let you guys know that we're going to bring an amended resolution solution so there's any questions I'm sure there might be happy to answer so for those who were not here does that make any sense looking at the picture what he says yes my only question I have is is Oak Street ever going to be going all the way through to Stelton never so he's basically just going to be right there okay all right it's downhill yeah I think remember that because it is down there okay all right I I mean I'm I'm always fascinated when I look at that the slope on that Hill that they actually put the potential streets through there I thought my that's a stretch to the imagination right yeah but they did so and so he paid to have it vacated he did yeah and it and now ended up owning nothing right right so yep hopefully both the county and the City we'll be able to work with him on that right and we've been talking for like this the county thought that well this they they thought that it already had been vacated so they told us no it's already been vacated but then a lot of talk back and forth with their like tax assessor their GIS person and we found out we saw the old resolution from however many decades ago that stated that it was right up to where his property was but nothing had been vacated so we do need approval to vacate it but yeah he will have to talk to the city or the county but it was kind of discussed at the LA when back in May when this was approved that the city or you know it wasn't city land that was that we we could get rid of it because it wasn't we wouldn't ever use it or

12:43 – 14:290

anything so how come the county gets half of it or the northern half good question so across the street tax there's a tax forfeited parcel that the DNR actually will have some say in as well if m Marsh can purchase it but they have across the street they have a parcel that's with the county so technically the nearest one yeah okay yeah I got you yeah that's why y okay any other questions and as Zach said there's no action on our part just uh update information and if you did have something that you want to put then I obviously I'll put in my memo that hey this is what Planning Commission said for so the city council so this won't this won't come back to us we're pretty much this is it I think we it's already been to the Planning Commission unless he needs a VAR inside a house yeah right which but hopefully not any other items before us tonight that anybody would like to bring up if not motion to adjourn who's turn is it second so I made the motion no you can make the motion no you just made the motion sure okay second second second on the end that's uh motion to adjourn all in favor i i oppos n so moved thank you awesome we got move
