COMMISSIONERS ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? COMMISSIONER TONG.

QUICK QUESTION. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. SO AFTER THE ABANDONED THE EASEMENT, DID THEY REROUTE THE DRAINAGE OR WHAT DO THEY DO WITH THE DRAINAGE? SO THERE IS AN EXISTING STORM LINE THAT WILL REMAIN AFTER THE EASEMENT IS ABANDONED.

SO THEY'RE WANTING TO ADD A CANOPY OVER AND OVER THE, THE PLAYGROUND.

AND IN ORDER TO DO THAT, THE DRAINAGE EASEMENT DOES NEED TO BE REMOVED.

JUST COMMENT THAT THAT DRAINAGE DOES NOT NEED TO BE IN A PUBLIC EASEMENT.

IT'S ONLY SERVING THE ONE PROPERTY SO IT CAN BE A PRIVATE DRAINAGE, IN WHICH CASE THEY CAN THEN BUILD ON TOP OF IT.

THANK YOU. ANY OTHER TECHNICAL QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? COMMISSIONER BRONSKY. SO WILL THE CANOPY, WILL THAT PROVIDE ANY DRAINAGE RELATED ISSUES CONCERNING THE PROPERTY AS A WHOLE AND HOW THE WATER MIGHT BE REDIRECTED BECAUSE OF THE CANOPY? NOT THAT I'M AWARE OF, NO. OKAY.
