Commissioner Coop. Um who is the missing commissioner? It was me. Oh, uh, thanks for pointing that out. Do you want to be recorded? Were you in the A or the Nay? Well, the vote was four to threes, and I made the motion, so I assume that I was the A. Yes, that's right. I remember okay. There are any other edits. Okay. All right. So can I have a motion to adopt the minutes with the edit so made by Commissioner Coop to the minutes? Move by Commissioner Coop. Seconded by Commissioner Mancini. Any discussion? All those in favor signify by saying aye. All those opposed say nay. Ayes have it. Go ahead, Commissioner Lampier. Um, Mr. Chairman, I was not at that meeting, so I abstained from voting. So Commissioner Lampier will be listed as uh abstention on that vote. Next item on the agenda is night's corner development. Is the applicant here and wishes to be heard on this extension? Good evening. Um president, members of the planning commission, Robert Murray, 21 Garden City Drive in Cranston. I'm here tonight on behalf of the uh developer applicant uh 333 Main Street LLC. Um we're here for uh would would be the last statutory extension allowed for the master plan approval that was granted in 2023. We had an automatic two-year vesting. Uh last year you granted an extension, uh, one extension until May 2nd. Uh under Ion General Law 45239, we will be entitled to one additional year. Um, my the letter that the uh applicants submitted requested consideration for a two-year extension until um uh 2020 until May 2nd, 2027. The only reason for that is um obviously people are have interest in this project. Uming has not been great in terms of the economy, construction, tariffs, you name it. So we uh uh but we're working with a partner right now towards uh bringing this project alive. Um just in an abundance of caution, I'd ask consideration for a two-year extension of the master plan. Um there any questions for Mr. Murray on his extension request. Okay, does the staff have anything they'd like to state at this point? The conditions have not changed. I don't see any reason to not grant this extension. Okay, all right. Unless there's anything further, uh motion to grant the extension as requested would be in order at this time. Commissioner Lampier, Mr.
