day let me ask a question I'm assuming the building's going to be a tear down so we're really just looking at the lot is that no um at this point you really can't discuss the details of the hearing right right I'm doing it as a point of what what we should look at if we just need to walk around the lot we could all just kind of go on our own um it depends on what you need us to see does it do you need to point anything out because yes we can't discuss the hearing until it opens no I don't think I think it it would be good for you to take a look at the lot that's all yeah so it doesn't have to be a formal meeting why don't we all just kind of go at our Leisure and just walk if it's okay with the owner let him know okay you might see some weird zoning people floating around looking around no problem sure will sounds good each can go on their own yeah love it stop by yeah stop by the land use office if you want to pick up the print copy of the um the site plan so you know what can add yeah it's very easy it's a small lot so okay all right is there a motion to adjourn move to adjourn second ping the members Vicki yes John yes Darlene yes and I'll vote Yes bill cigan so that's it that's it for this meeting
