32:33accept. So, and kudos to the property

32:37owner for agreeing to do such. So, um,

33:06>> I see no hands.

33:09>> Okay. Uh motion to close the floor for

33:12public commentary. And in reviewing the

33:14application,

33:16um, as the attorney stated, tenants

33:19waved their right to purchase, uh, but

33:22we're also, uh, but also negotiated,

33:26uh, three three uh, months rent, which

33:29was agreed upon by uh, both parties. So,

34:44both parties thinking outside the box

34:46for a solution as opposed to just your

34:48standard black and white approach. Um,

34:51and it shows that, you know, when two

34:53sides openly communicate,

34:56solutions can be found. So should be um,

35:00you know, a precedent for future

35:03developers and potential tenants to to
