1. Letter Of Recommendation – One Tower Lane.
Building and Zoning Administrator Dragan stated the property owner, Equity Office, is exploring a leasing deal with a privately owned food manufacturer for their corporate office space at One Tower Lane. Building and Zoning Administrator Dragan noted the prospective tenant requires 70,000 square feet of office space. Building and Zoning Administrator Dragan said the prospective client also needs a test kitchen for research and product sampling. Building and Zoning Administrator Dragan said the kitchen will be approximately 3,000 square feet. Building and Zoning Administrator Dragan indicated the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval for an amendment to the PUD and an exception from the Zoning Ordinance to allow the research laboratory.
