Hi. Good evening. I'm Jennifer Buse, planner for the city. I would like to put into record PZ215Dash2025 and the applicant is here

any ex parte communication from the board members with the applicant no no no Okay.

Good evening. My name is Juan Carlos Gavillon. I'm the owner of Bagels with Deli, and we're here to apply for a variance to our sign, our main sign on the facade.

Do you want me to change it for you?

No. I can. Got it. Okay. Perfect.

This is the existing facade sign. It's been there since, I think, February. If you look, the current height on the sign is 21 feet tall. So what we're looking for sorry. 21 inches.

What we're looking for is when the restaurant started, it was 2,300 square feet. Last year, we expanded the restaurant. We took over the bay next door. So we went from 2,300 square feet to 3,518. The plaza of Delray has a master sign program that any bay that is less than 5,000 square feet can only have a maximum 21 inches in height on on a sign that is on one line.

So we're looking to do is to install a new so that I guess that puts us in a gray area because we're over the we're over the 3,000 but under the 5,000. If you look at the frontage of our restaurant, if we stick to that sign, it would only allow what you see as existing, which is a little off center. So what we're looking to do is update the sign and to conform and bring up to date with the aesthetics of the plaza. What we wanted to do is a variance to go from 21 inches to 40 inches in height. So currently, we're at 21.

We wanna go to 40. The length of the sign would be the current is 315 to 250. The square footage, because of that height change, would go from four 47 square feet to 69 and a half square feet. So that's the first. That's what's existing.

This is what the items that I just stated. This would be the new sign. We've update along with updating the restaurant, we've updated our signs and trademarked. So this is what's been trademarked to the new logo that highlights the new the new dimensions of 250 in width, 40 in height for an overall 69 and a half square feet.

Thank you.

Don't know if you would you like me to go back to one of the other ones? Or

No. No. No. It's my turn.

Oh, sorry.

Am I just wanna

Sorry. Whilst that's preparing that, just to clarify, ex parte is not limited to just the applicant. So any communications with anybody outside of this hearing would be an ex parte. So if anybody had ex parte that was not with the applicant, they would need to disclose that as well. Yes this particular item yes

before I get started with the presentation I just wanted to point out it's not a variance it's an amendment to an existing master sign program so it's a little bit different so with that being said this is the Plaza At Delray and it is in planned commercial and the loom is general commercial and as you can see it's a very large shopping plaza I just kind of threw this in for fun. I happen to be from Delray and originally this was known as the Delray Mall. It was actually an indoor mall and it had two a couple of anchor stores, J Byron's, Lauria's, Wilco. I don't know if any of those names register with anybody, but I just thought it was fun. And there was an outparcels of Morrison's Cafeteria.

So there is 335,000 square feet of leasable space. There are six major tenants, five junior tenants and approximately 32 shops under 5,000 square feet. There are four outparcels and this original sign program was written in 1996, so that was quite a while ago and so through the years it has been amended several times to accommodate new tenants that move in so as stated before tenants with less than 5,000 square feet

ahead same thing. The next

program now this

and

is just a little bit more of a background this is a very I'm sorry I'm looking for my words right now very detailed master sign program because it is very large. So it does accommodate a lot of different types of stores. And so we have a lot of anchors and junior anchors that are allowed just a little bit more leeway. The under canopy signs are self explanatory. And then there are three freestanding signs and then one plaza identification sign on the corner of Linton And South Federal.

These are the outparcels just for information. And so the request tonight is to increase the size for Bagelswood Deli. It did occupy seventeen thirty two square feet of leasable space. It did expand and it is now 3,518 square feet. This is the existing and this is the proposed as to what they're looking for I just did the math again and it is approximately 82 square feet not 60 so it kind of is basically doubling and that is because of the height of the sign.

You can see that the length of it actually shortened by a foot. This just explains to you the Master Sign Program. Again, the Master Sign Program allows for leeway when they're large projects if you do need a waiver this allows for automatic granting of a waiver these are and Sprab can take board action and then here we just have some aesthetic qualifications again does it visually fit in with the neighborhood? Is it garish? And the size and scale, is it appropriate to the elevation you're putting it on and to maybe the neighboring tenants?

And so here, I just kind of tried to outline. You may see all these different colors. Corporate colors and logos are allowed, so that's why you see a little variety of colors. But this is the south side of the plaza off of Lynton Boulevard. And the UPS store is the store that they actually expanded into so if they were approved tonight their new sign would move to the center of it and this is just to again does this visually is this visually aesthetic to the plaza and the surrounding area Is it harmonious with the building features?

And is it in good taste in the surrounding area? And these are your motions.

Much. Do we have any comments from the public? Okay. Seeing none, is there anything now as cross examination or any rebuttal, right, in terms of city anything that

No. Thank you.

I appreciate that.

Perfect. So we'll go into board discussion. We'll start we'll start with mister Villanois.

Just a quick question. So let's say down the line they reversed this to a smaller space, that sound will stay as is?

Well, that is actually an interesting question because they would have to actually move the sign because it would no longer be over their their bay.

Yeah. Actually, the sorry. The sign is now occupying, like, the middle the middle of the wall, spanning all the bays. So if they actually downsize, that means the sign will have to move and accordingly, we need to reconsider this to answer your question. That was that

was the only question I had.

I'm just confirming that if they had bagels with deli on two lines, they'd be able to go 40 inches.

That's

only if it was two lines.

Correct.

Okay. Are

there any other tenants in the plaza that are in this gray area between 3,505,000 or what the smallest tenant was? The same program applied to us one size tenant. There's this gray zone that seems to be there.

Do we know that?

I do not think anybody else has come in. It's been a while since this has been amended. I think the last time it was actually amended is when they did some work on their monument signs. So right now, nobody else has come in with with a request to increase the size of the sign.

So I I just wanted to follow-up then on a couple things. So to go with mister Villanova's question, I just said that I understand. Sorry to be so just to understand. So they would if if if there there was a reduction, which I don't anticipate, but let's just say because it's not just you, it's for everyone else. If there was a reduction, they would be required to come back and see if they could still use that same sign. Or if they just said, we're just going to re center it, they wouldn't have to come back? I just want to make sure I understand that they would have to come back. Because it's an amendment.

Yes. So whenever there is a must have signed program and then the applicant is amending it, this is a deviation from an approval or a development order. So whenever there is a change in the configuration of your approval, that means you need to see it again.

Perfect.

Okay. And then to go with that, so I understand that to your to the best of your knowledge, nobody's necessarily come and ask for the gray area issue. But I guess do we know if there are any other signs? So there aren't any other signs right now that actually are exceeding?

Not to my knowledge.

Not to knowledge. Okay. And then my question would be, I guess, it's such a big difference. So what was the thought process? And I don't know if I'm allowed to ask that to to change the coloration, which really makes it stand out additionally and the added height.

I mean, that's sort of my question is that was a very big change for something, you know, that's a that's a kind of a big amendment between color and size. It it it you the picture that we're given here shows centered, but it doesn't show what it would look like against all the other signs on the plaza. And I I think that that's a question because this one stands out so much more. So, you know, why what was the decision to take it so much larger?

Just based on square footage.

But but it didn't fall within the amendment. So I think that's what I'm saying is you're asking for something different than what it would fall into.

We calculated based on what if we would be at 5,000. So we kinda

But you're not at but you're at how many? 3,500.

Correct. We just back

Right. So you're not at five. I just wanted to understand the math.

Yeah. I'd see where she's going.

I if this did not fall under our master sign program you take the width of the bay times the 12 foot height times 15% and whatever is within that number say let's just say the number comes out to 25 your sign cannot go over that square footage. Where

are we on this one sorry one of the things that I focused on was there are a lot of maximum if you're 5,000 or greater, you're allowed a 40 inch height channel letter. But I think if I read it correctly, in the smaller square footage, you could go up to 30 inches. Did you guys look at what your did you happen to take a look at 30 inches and see how that would show up?

It would be the existing sign. We're not we're not 30 inches.

30 inches

is if we have a logo. Yeah. We don't have a

logo.

It's only the logo that would be able to go up to 30 inches and then the rest of the sign would have to be 21 inches. A logo sometimes is the front that would accent your sign, so that's why there's a little bit more leeway with the logo. Right.

But I think that's the question here is full distance of what it would be at 5,000 is really a big leap versus kind of scaling it at 35.

We didn't go at at the full distance of 5,000. We based it on what if there wasn't a master sign program for the plaza, that's what this would be what our sign would be allowed.

Right. But there is a

master Correct. I'm just I'm just letting you right. I'm just saying how we came up with the number.

Yeah. I'm saying that if you could go 30 even if it was just logo, I I guess my question was why didn't you guys just go 30?

Because 40 plus change

in color. It's really a big difference.

Well, color doesn't the only reason it's black, it's because since lights up, it lights up white. If you prefer white, I'll do white too. It's mind the color.

For me to have a preference, sir.

I was I mean, I'm just If if the color is is shocking, it could go black or white. Does it make that that's more for a lighting issue at night, how it I guess they invert.

Excellent. I appreciate that.

The place wait.

It's a

couple of suites down. Fat boy is it Fat Boy's?

Fat Boy?

Yes. Is that their sign is black as well. Right?

Their sign is black.

It is black. Yeah.

But they're a 5,000 that would be a 5,000 foot tenant. Right?

Correct. Okay. I when when I looked at the square footage, you calculate, I was kind of saying maybe back away because let's say hypothetically, they're not taking up so much front space. I think that's really why that's I'm I'm I'm in favor of it because of the amount of front space

they have.

So if you had something 5,000 square feet and it's 10 feet wide by 500 feet long, you know, the sign went consumer. So I think I'm taking I took that into consideration the front end spot that was Right.

It'll be

an eyesore, I think,

if

it's I just

think another thing to consider is also they're increasing a bay. Right? So another sign is being taken down. Right. Right? So it's you know, in a in a way, it's also decluttering the the building facade a little bit Yeah. In terms of the amount of signs.

But but it or if we amend it

Then it's for

If the plaza owner wanted to come in and change the 5,000 and under, he would have to come in and change it that way. This is just specifically for this sign. So if somebody else did come in, they would have to amend the program again because it has not been amended to accommodate the 5,000 square feet or less. I still Did I say that right?

But are we if we were to approve it, are we not setting a precedent that, okay, if you're in this gray zone, we're gonna allow you the larger the larger size commensurate with the 5,000 square foot tenant?

I I thought about that too setting. However, again, I go to the frontage. How many more people are gonna take over, you know, other stores? Because Think about it because I mean, I you can see how wide it is in the extension to leave the signs in one spot or really adhere to the strict the way it's written, I don't think it would be kind of It wouldn't work the sign.

It wouldn't work for the store.

They have four columns.

So if if

you put that into perspective, the same size between four columns, it would

be I I don't I don't think I don't think for me, it's not about the placement. It's about the size just to make sure that if somebody else comes that the precedent's not set, that if you're because 3500, you're you're in the 33% range of being off from what you're supposed to be to have that size. So I'm talking just about the size. I'm not talking about the placement. And, again, it's not to be difficult. It's just to say, if you set a precedent, then, you know, you've set the precedent. So it's gonna be harder to say no. And so that's why I'd ask the question about what was your decision to go to forty

Forty. Yeah.

Versus, you know what I'm saying? So, again, not to be difficult, but just to say, I wanna make sure that, you know, it it's good for the whole the whole area.

So Not just one. Because we didn't take it to, like, what fat boy has where he's he's at five thousand, but our height is not where his height is. I don't know if that's, so similar to to what was said before. And, also, when we looked at because when we looked at the original sign, we cover even though we're only thirty five hundred, we cover more frontage than fat boy does at plus 5,000 square feet. So that's all that's also was taken into consideration.

May I say something? A lot of these big shopping plaza their master sign programs are honestly out of date but as long as they're in place they have to abide by them and that's why not necessarily this shopping plaza, but some of our other large shopping plazas, you will see them come in and amend the sign program quite a bit because most of them are as old as this one. It's 30 years old.

I my first as a an aesthetic thing for me, when I looked at it as the full scale, the thing that I wrestled with was the bagels with deli almost matches in what looks to be, at least on the rendering, you know, a square footage or similar square footage to what Fat Boy is getting. Again, we're in this gray area. I think he needs a bigger sign. I'm not saying that. I just don't know that going to the maximum size of 40 inches really I don't know that it's a good thing to do when you've got tenants that are at 5,000 that are that are there.

I mean, I'm not I'm not explaining that very well, but I I I like the idea of giving him more size because he's got more frontage. But I just wrestle with the idea that, okay, we approve it up to the size that it is competing with a 5,000 square foot space.

Actually, Fat Boy 40 inches or more? Fat Boy looks more than 40 inches because there's two lines. Correct?

But they're allowed to I

don't know.

I'm agreeing. I'm I'm just saying that's don't think it's more of fair comparison with Fat Boy and this one.

That's why Aren't they allowed to?

Because they're over 5,000 square feet.

They're over. They're over 5,000.

But the difference between Fat Boy two visually, and that's all that we're discussing really are visuals at this point, is that fat boy is a taller. Right? So automatically, it's gonna lie differently. I I think I think the only thing that I question and it's again, it's an aesthetics thing is that if the bagels with deli were wider and not so high, right, it wouldn't feel like it encompasses so much because it's a really long space. So you you do need to have a larger sign.

But at the same time, it really fills in the space where it is. So it it's it's very overpowering on the frontage if you look at it. It is it is very, very tall. So that's why I asked the question. It's not so much about the width. It's the height that I just think it makes the sign appear to be, at least on this photo. And so when you look at it next to the other ones, does it start to sort of make the other ones disappear because they're so much smaller because they're under 5,000 square feet? And that that's just a question. I'm not, you know, saying yes or no. It's just a thought.

Can we make a motion here? You

still discussing

motion is

In in relationship to what the other signs that are in the frontage, you know, the tropical the tropical smoothie cafe, height wise, it's pretty comparable to what I think they're they're proposing. And then you have the fat flow way one that, you know, it's also pretty like, so it almost feels like within scale, right, and and relativity is it's comparable with the exception of the amazing Lash Studio.

Because that's one line. Yeah. And they're one line. Yeah. That's that's a big difference. Tropical smoothie is not one line.

Make a motion or what would you I'd like to make a motion to approve. I don't have the reading in front of me.

Can we pull up the Please. The motions?

Great.

I'd like to motion move. Approval of the amendment Do I read anything specific or I just Whichever one. Okay. Move to approve the amendment of the master sign program PZ2152025 for the Plaza Del Rey to accommodate a change in the size of the sign by finding that the request meets the criteria set forth in the land development regulations.

Is there a second? Second.

Roll call. Call.

Brett Talbot? No. Nick Capola?

Yes.

Annette Gray is absent. Christina Yes. Yes. Wensky Villanue?

Yes.

Jose Alvarez?

Yes.

Thank you, guys. Have a good night.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Moving on to item eight b.

Okay. So state for the record, my name is Suzy Rodriguez, senior planner. I would like to enter file number PZ000291-twenty25 into the record. So the next items will be for a color change request for two Wells Fargo building, one located on Linton and the other on military. The first one will be on Linton. The applicant is here today to present.

Any ex parte?

No. Thank

you. Go ahead.

Hi. Good evening, everyone. Thank you for having me. My name is Pascal Sicente. I work with Franklin Contractor.

We are a local company in Fort Lauderdale, and I represent Wells Fargo to change the color of branch. For this branch, we have four different color that we are changing: the Sharon William Dorian Gray, the Sharon William Original White, the Sharon William cocoa whip for the facade, and the Sharon William black magic for the storefront window and the door frame. That's gonna be electrostatic. That's about it. It's just it's just that color.

That's that's our second attempt. And

presentation if you click like

Yes. Sorry. Go go. Put my glasses. Alright. So

We we had seen this one time before. Correct?

Yes. Some of us. Okay.

They changed the p p a for the Coca Cola. So Wells Fargo summoned this color for the second attempt, and that's the color. P two, p three, p four, and p five. So, yeah, this branch is right on the corner, so it's gonna change all the the volume color. It's gonna be black.

Don't have too much to say.

Are we alright? Can we ask questions, or do we have to wait for the city?

Well, yeah, we'll wait for the city and then ask her questions.

So the subject property is zoned planned commercial. It's surrounded by planned commercial and unincorporated residential zoning. Existing on-site is a Wells Fargo bank. The 3,450 square foot structure was constructed in 2018. Here you have a few photos of the existing building.

So that's the Northeast side, north side, Northwest and west, and South side. On 07/23/2025, SBRAB denied a color change request to a darker gray color. The board expressed concerns over the dark gray color palette and deemed it inappropriate for Delray. The Level one applications are typically reviewed administratively. However, pursuant to LDR Section two(one)1B, the Development Services Director has authority to elevate applications for Board review.

As this location was previously denied for a color change, staff has determined that the modified request should also be reviewed by the Board. The request still utilizes gray, but the darker gray, that gauntlet gray, has been replaced with the CocoWhip, which is like a soft brown. They are still using the original white and the Dorian Gray. And then for the window mullions, it's that black magic. You can see the comparison of the two requests from when they previously came and now.

Here are more elevations of the proposed request, so the East and West facade, the North and South. The following criteria must be met. It must be in conformity with good taste and design. Must not cause surrounding area to materially depreciate in appearance and value, and must be harmonious with the surrounding area. These are some photos of the adjacent developments.

North facade and Northeast facade. Staff considers the proposed color palette appropriate with the surrounding area. If the proposed color palette was provided in the original submittal, staff would have kept this review administrative. However, due to the prior denial, it has been elevated to SRAB. These are your board motions, and this concludes my presentation.

Thank you very much. Thank you.

Any comments from the public? Seeing none, any rebuttal to the city asset?

No. K.

Alright. We'll start on the right side this time.

The one thing that caught my

eye was the the red awning structure that was there's a a red parking canopy.

Yes.

Obviously, that kinda matches the existing building. Is there any plan that that's gonna be changed, or is it gonna stay red?

I think that's gonna stay red, but it it matched the Wells Fargo sign. But my contract is Oh, there is for painting. Yeah. That's not bad.

And Okay. There was one more thing. And I presume that the the what Sprabbs sent back last time was it was too the gray was too dark dark on the large side of that building. Was that

Okay. That's what's what was discussed last time.

They just felt too heavy on the top side.

Okay. K. No other questions.

Any comment from you? No comment? Mm-mm. Okay.

I'm good. Thank you.

I'm all set. Okay. Yeah.

I mean, we appreciate you coming back. I I, you know, I do agree. It's certainly a much softer color that especially for for that corner building, it it it makes it, you know, blend in a little bit better, and it's not as heavy. So I don't I don't have any issues with this. Can I make get a motion?

The motion? No. No. I'll do the motion. K. I'd make motion to approve approval of the level site one plan application PZ000291Dash2025 for a color change from a soft yellow to a neutral color palette consisting of the following. Sherwin Williams Dorian Gray, Sherwin Williams original white, and Sherwin Williams cocoa whip for the facade. And I'm assuming Sherwin Williams black magic for the storefront, windows, and door frames located at 5030 Lynton Boulevard. By finding that the request is consistent with the comprehensive plan and meets criteria set forth in the land development regulations.

Can I get a second? Second.

And Rhett Talbot?

Yes.

Nicholas Cabola?

Yes.

Nick Gray is absent. Christina Morrison is absent. Cynthia Lloyd? Yes. Wensky Villanois?

Yes.

Jose Alvarez?

Yes.

Motion passes. Great. Thank you. And then last one, eight c.

This is basically the same

same thing. Similar. Yeah. Any discussion?

Well, they'll they'll have to go through the

Oh, she's gotta do it?

Yeah. They'll they'll need to do the the whole item.

They're prepared. Yeah.

I was getting ready to read.

That's right. Okay. Let's go.

Alright. Okay.

So I would like to enter file number PZ000295Dash2025 into the record. This will be the military location.

Any ex parte?

No. Nope.

See no. Go ahead.

Alright. Well, hi, everyone.

Welcome back.

Welcome back. My name is Pascal Cicente, and I'm Franklin Contractor, and I represent Wells Fargo. This is our second attempt on this branch as well. This location, we have only three color palette, and we have the original white with the Shannon William. We have the Shannon William cocoa whip and the Shannon William black magic. It's pretty much the same thing. I'm gonna change.

Yes.

So that is fascia. Don't have too much to say, but it's a it's I only have three different color that for this branch. Yeah.

So discussion or

Now that my city will make a presentation.

I'll go quick. Okay. So the subject property is zoned surrounded by planned commercial and neighborhood commercial. It's existing on-site as a Wells Fargo bank. The structure, the 4,477 square foot structure, was constructed in 1983. And here are a few photos of the existing building. So the west, north, south, and east, and southeast. Alright. So same thing. On July 23, SBRAB denied a color change request to that darker gray because of the concerns of that dark gray not being appropriate for Delray.

The Level one application, same thing. It's typically reviewed administratively. But due to the previous denial, this was elevated up. The gray for this one has been completely replaced, so there is no gray in this proposal. It is going to be the CocoWhip.

So the colors are the original white CocoWhip. And then for the windows and the door frames, it's that Black Magic. Here are more elevations for the request. The following criteria must be met and must be in conformity with good taste and design, must not cause surrounding area to materially depreciate in appearance of value, and must be harmonious with the surrounding area. These are some of the photos of the adjacent area.

Southwest and to the West. And then same thing, staff considers the proposed color palette appropriate with the surrounding area. If this proposed color palette was brought to us originally, it would have been just reviewed administratively. But due to the denial, it has been brought up. So these are your board motions, and this concludes my presentation.

Thank you. Any thank you.

Comment from the public? Seeing none, any rebuttal? No. No. Any board comments?

Just have one question. Is this a master color change that Wells Fargo is going throughout all communities, or are we just the lucky ones to

You're the for the Kokoa, you're

the lucky No. For this whole color palette, is is this a whole Wells Fargo? It's nationwide. Nationwide? Yes.

Yeah. That

my wife says gray is the color that's going out now. Is that right?

It doesn't look like Wells

Fargo is behind the times.

I just had a quick question. I know that you had said, and I'm sorry for asking it again if I'm incorrect, but the red, the logo sign, the color of the red is not changing?

Yes. That's staying like this. Interesting. Yes.

Okay. To clarify, the signage does require a separate approval and it's not included in this request.

It wasn't. It was because when I looked at it on the screen, it looked like they the red had changed. That was the only reason I asked the question. Thank you.

No questions? Mr. Villanon, any comment?

No. None at all.

Alright. Well, thank you very much also for for coming back on this one. I certainly think it it works much better with, you know, the surrounding buildings. So we we appreciate the, you know, the the willingness to to go back and relook at that to to make it something that's a little bit more contextual appropriate given given that I I don't have any problems. Yeah. Can I get a motion?

Second. I'll move to approve

the level one site plan P Z 000295 Dash 2025 for a color change from a soft yellow to a neutral color palette consisting of the following, Sherwin Williams original white, Sherwin Williams coca whip for the facade, Sherwin Williams black magic for the storefront windows and door frames located at 14743 South Military Trail by finding that the request is consistent with the comprehensive plan and meets criteria set forth in the land development regulations.

Second.

Roll call, please. Wait. Before we call the roll, I I have to ask a question. I just wanna make sure that on the located map, it highlights is that the property it's actually highlighting? Is it is the property on the corner or is it the second property in?

It's the second.

Is the second.

So just to go on records, we would like to welcome you. Feel free to ask any questions. Staff are friendly. Emails, phone calls at any time. Ask questions about items on the agenda, about general spread business. We are happy to respond.

Thank you. Thank you. Next meetings are February 25. Usually, we meet on the first Wednesday of every month except for like November and December. I have the they have different agendas. You do have the overall 2026 calendar. Rochelle just distributed it. So next meeting is the twenty fifth, March 25 as well. And then April is the twenty second. And with that, I con we conclude our agenda today and leave it to the board attorney.

Just welcome as to our new members or new familiar members. If again, same thing from from our office. If you ever have any legal questions, if you're worried about a conflict, if you're worried about public records, any of those types of questions, we greatly appreciate answering those before a meeting instead of in them. So always feel free to reach out to us. We're happy to help, and and we're here to be an asset for you too. And thank you very much for your time this evening.

Thank you very much. Any board comments?

If I could just as far as the ex parte community, I've been watched meetings where they say, well, I've been to the establishment. Do we have to go as far as to say, yes, I visited this this establishment. I passed it by. I live near it.

So if you've just driven by the property because it happens to be on your commute and you're not visiting the property for the purpose of the hearing, then that doesn't necessarily need to be disclosed. My recommendation would be to disclose it because over disclosure is better than under disclosure. But if you do go to a site to visit specifically for the purpose of this hearing that may assist you in making a determination, the applicant has a right to know that you've visited that site. And so a site visit could potentially be an ex parte disclosure in that situation.

Thank you. And and that

includes just I went to the parking lot in Linton to just look at all the signs?

If if you did, for instance, the drive by took the Atlantic and and Federal to just take the perimeter. And for the purpose of looking at those signs, I would recommend Okay. Letting the applicant know that you've done that. Okay.

Yep. Perfect. Any other comments? No? Well, welcome. Happy to have you guys. Alright. And with that, we'll adjourn.

Washington. Right. Thank you.
