So let's uh go to our first item then, which is the Magnolia Glenn Subdivision SPP 25-06. Ms. Waters. Uh thank you, Mr. Chairman. And just um, as a recap here, this case was originally presented at the June 5th meeting. And the motion of that meeting from the take the planning commission was to table this request to allow the applicant to provide staff with possible additional information regarding the concerns of the capacity for the Fort Morgan sewer treatment plants. So as of today, um, staff can say that we have reached out to aid them, and we have been notified that no new information regarding a permit expansion for that treatment plan has been issued to date. Okay. Therefore, our conditions are still the same. Um I'd be happy to go over the staff report in the presentation if you'd like me.
