Mr. Hopkins stated that the purpose of that was to reiterate that it is not permitted. Member Chmura asked since the Applicant stated that this is temporary in nature, is there a timeline.

The original location fell through and they are now back looking for this Board to again refer them to the Zoning Board for the property located at 3233 Lakeshore Road. Attorney Corey Auerbach appeared on behalf of the project. There is an error on this agenda as this property is owned by Ms. Kathy Fabiats and Mr. Ted Czosnyka was the name that was on 3231 Lakeshore. The property on the corner 13
