- The bakery and a related food store are likely to be the main commercial tenants in the new development, with potential for outdoor seating

Thank you, miss Harris.
0:20:41
So John, you answered my first question.
0:20:43
I'm really pleased to hear how innovative and creative you taking this approach to address the flooding issues that happen within that community.
0:20:53
So I I'm gonna skip that question.
0:20:57
Caroline, you spoke about parking.
0:20:59
Does this site have parking?
Caroline Harris
0:21:01
Yes.
0:21:01
There's a garage gonna be on-site.
Kevin C. Riley
0:21:03
How many spots?
Caroline Harris
0:21:04
How many spots, John?
John Woelfling
0:21:06
About 60 spaces.
Eric Palatnik
0:21:07
60.
0:21:08
Okay.
Kevin C. Riley
0:21:10
You spoke about the bakery.
0:21:11
What's gonna happen to this bakery as you guys are doing
Caroline Harris
0:21:15
They're working on a relocation plan.
0:21:17
There's some locations that are possibly available, but until we have the approval and know the timing, we can't really they can't really lease the space.
0:21:25
So we're working through that with the with the tenant.
Kevin C. Riley
0:21:27
Okay.
0:21:28
And is there a confirmed tenant for the commercial space that you could share any updates if this project is approved?
Caroline Harris
0:21:35
The the bake the bakery and the the food store are in all likelihood to be the
Kevin C. Riley
0:21:42
The two tenants that
Caroline Harris
0:21:43
two main tenants.
0:21:44
There may be others, but right now those are the two prime tenants.
0:21:47
And with the food store that's related to the bakery, we think they'll also try to get some outside tables so people can enjoy the park and the improved street.
Kevin C. Riley
0:21:59
Okay.
0:22:00
Thank you, Caroline.
0:22:01
I have no more questions.
0:22:03
Do we have any members?
0:22:04
And I just want to state for the record, we've been joined by council member Salam.
0:22:08
There being no questions, this applicant panel is excused.
0:22:10
Thank you so much for your testimony.
Caroline Harris
