The front the front building is still massive.
1:21:31
Aggressive, and the height needs to come down a little bit on that, but we'll get there.
1:21:35
So what tools has your team created to ensure the developers at the site will bring down the in community everyday necessities such as open space schools and expand the city services.

What tools has your team created to ensure developers at this site bring the existing community, everyday's necessities such as open space, which we discussed, schools and expand the city services.

So and so thank you for the question.
1:22:03
That's a great question.
1:22:04
I think we talked about some of the tools that we put in the special district provisions to create additional open space.
1:22:10
I think on the schools conversation, again, we're in active conversations with SCA.
1:22:16
The development team at 1601 Bronxville to see if this site will actually meet the criteria for SCA in terms of a school site here.
Kristy Marmorato
1:22:25
Okay.
1:22:26
I'd like to sit down and be a part of that conversation because I have some concerns about the school and that location.
Paul Philps
