questions. He noted that the applicant is also present to answer any questions.
Chairman Pradetto declared the public hearing open and invited public testimony FAVORING
or OPPOSING this matter.
MR. BILL POPE, Michael Baker International, Palm Desert, California, commented
that Mr. Melloni's presentation was very straightforward and he offered to answer any
questions.
Commissioner Nancy DeLuna asked the applicant if they plan on developing the
parcel themselves or do they plan to sell the parcel.

the restaurant pad and noted he has a potential buyer.
