Okay. >> Um for again conditional approval, we still have kind of those pending reviews. City engineer, county, uh I don't anticipate it's going to take very long and the any issues that have already been identified have already been addressed in in the conditional use permit. So it should be a pretty quick turnaround. And then I assume any building or grading permits will then be separate from all of that. >> Correct. >> Okay. >> Yes. >> Okay.

That would be me. Um, this is Jenny. Um, so I wanted to prepare a little bit between the March 11th and the February 25th council meetings. Um, just to give you all kind of a brief on the things that have been um, updated and approved um, since that time just to kind of show you the work that you've done. Um, and we will plan to do this going forward as well. Um, so at the uh, March 11th, 2026 city council meeting, the council approved the preliminary and final plat for the dim edition that combined those two parcels on Lake Drive into one uh, 10.6 6acre parcel uh that was approved without conditions and uh no additional questions. And February 25th had quite a bit more uh going on, but I wanted to touch on a few things. I did update you that the holiday gas station um had that final approval with the car wash. I updated you on the foil family having that reszone request approved as well. Um two other things uh to note, we did have a presentation from the family for Nandeu Kennels as well. Um, no action was taken, but they did kind of go over the situation that they personally have outside of the general residential dog kennels. Um, but, uh, they did present to the council. No action was taken or anything that way, but just to give understanding to what that particular family is going through. Um, one other note, uh, the council approved W Architects, an architecture and design firm that generally works within the public and government sector to determine if the current use of our current structure is adequate both in terms of space, function, and code. um in the coming weeks they will present to the council and I will note to have the next uh council liaison update you on the building as that comes as well. >> Excellent. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> And now it's your turn, Aaron. Any of you anything to report? >> I've got nothing. We've got several pending things happening.
