[5:05] Commission um at our next Planning

[5:08] Commission meeting we will be reviewing

[5:10] the Ferndale Bluffs um subdivision as uh

[5:16] changed slightly since the last time

[5:17] that's been reviewed um the roadway

[5:21] variance has been removed and the um

[5:24] it's now three

[5:26] lots in March we're not sure which

[5:28] meeting in March we have uh 200 Lake

[5:31] Street with their re the old TCF sites

[5:35] uh so that will be coming up and then um

[5:39] you have been seeing some emails about

[5:41] the kishes uh the former Caribou Coffee

[5:45] site and U that will uh not start for a

[5:49] couple weeks yet but uh you know we're

[5:52] definitely getting inquiries and and

[5:54] information about that so any questions

[5:56] regarding development have there been

[5:59] any businesses that have inquired about

[6:01] the space or contracted for the space

[6:04] it's not going to be a Careo anymore I'm

[6:06] sure uh my understanding is that the

[6:09] upper story is uh office space and I

[6:11] don't know whether they're making that

[6:12] tenant public yet uh but that they'll

[6:14] span between uh the new structure and

[6:16] then come into the old structure a

[6:17] little bit as well on that second floor

[6:19] I think they may also take up some first

[6:21] floor space and then I know that there

[6:22] will be uh some additional room on the

[6:24] first floor St space I'm not sure if

[6:26] that'll end up being retail or maybe

[6:28] some sort of small

[6:30] take away food use or something along

[6:31] those lines but we'll know more soon

[6:33] okay thank

[6:35] you uh you mentioned uh Ferndale Bluff

[6:38] I'm sorry I'm not I don't know what that

[6:40] is if you could just give me a little

[6:42] idea of of where that is yeah happy to

[6:46] commissioner uh so if you're heading out

[6:48] on fale Road West out towards Orono just

[6:50] before you get to the Border there's a

[6:52] uh it's about a 12 Acre Site only a

[6:54] small portion of which touches uh

[6:56] Ferndale Road West but it's on the North

[6:58] side uh they previously came to us uh

[7:01] about at Le I think a year ago uh with a

[7:04] proposal to uh put in a public Street

[7:07] and a four lot subdivision that proposal

[7:10] uh was recommended for denial by the

[7:12] Planning Commission and then they didn't

[7:13] continue on to city council they

[7:15] withdrew since then they've been working

[7:17] on refining their proposal and they're

[7:19] back again with a complete application

[7:21] with uh three lots and a shorter public

[7:23] street so we'll have that discussion

[7:25] again at our next meeting which is on
