Thank you.
0:06:50
My apologies for being tardy.
0:06:54
Thank you for giving me an opportunity.
0:06:55
So let me just quickly go through the presentation.
0:06:58
So this is a kind of zoomed out version of the site, you see the bull's eye to actual site and gives you the context where the proposed site plan is in Northern Bronx.
0:07:07
Next slide, please.
0:07:10
This is just for the record to show you the tax block and lots that are affiliated with the site that I believe Andrea already kind of read into the record.
0:07:19
Next slide.
0:07:23
This is more of a zoomed in on the site.
0:07:24
You can see the existing two buildings and accessory parking lot that were a former hotel that is now vacant.
0:07:32
And you could see across the street from Van Cortland Park, and on the left side is a nearby residential neighborhood.
0:07:38
Next slide.
0:07:41
You can skip this one.
0:07:43
We've already done that into the record.
0:07:45
So these are just some close-up photos of the site.
0:07:47
You can see that 2 buildings that are the former hotel that will be demolished to facilitate the construction of the school.
0:07:56
Next slide.
0:07:59
And then this is the more of the surrounding area.
0:08:02
This is the one of the buildings where the check-in is, and then that's been caught in the park on the right literally across the street.
0:08:09
Next slide.
0:08:11
And then suggest some of the surrounding areas on Post Road in the neighborhood nearby, it's kinda low density residential, but very close proximity to the proposed school site.
0:08:22
Next slide.
0:08:25
We read that already.
0:08:26
Right?
0:08:26
So that's all the amenities of the I think so the classrooms and the and the size of the play yard and all those kind of things.
0:08:34
So that was it.
0:08:36
So I'm happy to answer any questions as well.
