Everybody is by appointment, and so there's a nice steady, you know, flow of people going in and out. I haven't received any major calls. I had one call yesterday from one of the surrounding property owners that was just trying to get more of an understanding of what that 860 -square foot looked like. I had sent her the floor plan and the site plan, and basically told her that it was three treatment rooms and an office, a hallway, and a little landing area. That seemed to ease those concerns. When we look at the building as a whole, right now, the basement as well as the upstairs is permitted for the commercial use. In this case, those will be decommissioned from the commercial use, and they'll all be down to the single floor. So, in essence, it's actually reducing the overall square footage that will be used for commercial use in keeping it all on one level. And, I'm going to let doctor here explain the process in which the new HIPAA requirements and what not have an effect on this and how this will help that out. MYRIANTHIS: My name is Nick Myrianthis, and I'm a physical therapist, and I've been in practice since 1982, in private practice. When we acquired the building in 1986, things were very different. We had three people in a room. We actually had almost five people in cubicles at that time. But, as you know, with HIPAA regulations, privacy is required so focusing on not being able to overhear. The practitioner working with our patients, so at this point, we actually have only two effective treatment rooms. We have a gym, which occupied the previous treatment area that—it was a treatment area that was actually was the living room, existing living room of the house. It was in the center, and that now is our main gym. We have a little bed in the side, but it's too, too tight for it to be a treatment area. It's—it's an overflow bed in case we are so packed that we can't accommodate. So, essentially, right now, we have two treatment rooms that function which is not adequate. A lot of times, we are treating patients, and we have, we can have three or four people that being treat concurrently. So, it makes it difficult for us to do our work sometimes. The other thing is that if my wife and Imy wife is a physical therapist as well. Her name is Carol Myrianthis. She is well known. If we both want to work together, we just, with the initial condition when we acquired the building, that's impossible at this point. So, this is the main reason why we're asking for the addition. CLARKSON: Have you received the Planning Director's Background Report and Recommendation, and do you agree with all the conditions in there? MYRIANTHIS: Yes, I do. KERN: Yeah, so, happy to answer any questions CLARKSON: —Any questions? If not, thank you. KERN: Humbly ask for your support. Thank you. EXHIBIT A 6
