I believe will be presenting to us on this application. Okay. Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you, Commissioners. Uh today I'll be presenting a report on the planned development to allow a child daycare center for today's Life Egan. Uh the site is a approximately 0.78 acres, uh, located at 1575 and 1580 Thomas Center Drive. Uh the site was originally part of the Black Hawk Park plan development. Uh in early 2000, the subject site received a plan development approval to for the current development, which consists of four office buildings uh on one lot. Only three of the office buildings were ever constructed uh to the state. Um later that year, the land was subdivided into separate parcels uh with each uh lot encompassing the footprint of each building to allow separate ownership. Cross am easements for ingress and egress uh and shared parking are provided. The parking lots and lands around the building were platted as a separate lot and it owned in common by an owner's association. In 2013, the property was subdivided again to create individual parcels for each building. So that association ownership of shared parking and uh lock and land area could be eliminated. Uh the property consists of uh two parcels with an existing office building on the northern parcel and a vacant lot on the southern parcel. The existing parking lot and building are were constructed with the development of the safari at Egan Third Edition. Uh the building connected is connected to city sewer and water services, extending through the development from Thomas Center Drive. Uh public street access is provided via Thomas Center Drive, located to the east. And crossing easements uh provide shared ingress, egress as well as shared parking. Uh a gas pipeline uh easement runs from north to south through the site between the buildings.
