were to arise. He thought that some language should be included in the ordinance to set operating
standards for the property. Attorney Jones noted that as tenants change in the building, they would

addressed by Ms. Jan Goldsmith (Zeller Development Corporation) and Bridget O’Keefe (Daspin &
Aument LLP). Attorney Jones suggested the following language be included in the ordinance “upon

approval of same, and implement said operational improvements”.
