If you follow my cursor on screen, I'll point out some context. We're right at the edge of town. So, we have West Fargo to the west of the subject property and then some of the streets are 14th Avenue North, 57th Street North, and 13th Avenue North. Applicant is requesting a minor subdivision and this is a replat of lot one, block 1, commerce on 12th 8th edition. Looking at the site photos on the top, we're looking at uh looking south from the intersection of 14th Avenue North and 57th Street North. And you can see the undeveloped portion of the property which will be parcled off which I'll point out in the plat next slide. And on the bottom we're looking at the existing development or existing businesses that are along 13th Avenue North. And that picture is facing northeast. The zoning is LI limited industrial and no zone changes proposed. This is the replat of one existing lot into a three lot subdivision. And uh again, if you remember the previous photos, the lot three here is where the current development sits with all the parking and the building as well. Um and then the lots one and two are the undeveloped portion of that area. The overall boundaries aren't changed with this plan. Staffers received no inquiries in response to this project. We find all criteria to be met and are recommending approval. The project representative Brian Patingale is here to answer any questions if you have any. That concludes staff presentation. Thanks.
