This is in connection with the Angel Oak Park over on John's Island. That was approved unanimously as well and more details and information to come on that in the coming months and then, finally, we extended um the review period regarding the sumar street project with Landmark Development LLC for an additional 30 days. A motion was made by council member Shad to appoint or establish an ad hoc Committee of council members that will get together over the next several weeks to talk about the project and some ideas regard in the project and that was approved unanimously.
