I think is this working? Yeah. All right. Good afternoon, everyone. I'll call this meeting of the building standards appeals board to order now. Would you please call the role secretary? Board member fields. Here. Board member Mears. Here. Board member Ransom. Here. Vice Chair Vincent. Here. Chair Golick. Here. Okay. We will first have a staff presentation and then followed by the presentation. The project applicant. Will present testimonies from supporters of the project will be taken, followed by testimony for the opposition. The applicant will have the right for a final rebuttal. And prior to closing the public hearing. So is that all clear to everyone? Okay, in accordance to the standards. The public testimony for those in support and opposite will be minute limited to three minutes. Just remember that. There is a light that will turn on next to the microphone, and it'll indicate the amount of time that's remaining. So you kind of will give in a warning. So let's see, what am I? Um no no no no. Speak begins. A yellow light will come on and a soft bell will ring. That means that you have one minute remaining. And then uh it'll be followed by a red light where it says that's it, you're done. Any test of the public uh testimony must be presented to the board in the podium. So there is a podium there that you would have come in. Any testimony um that references uh race, religious, ethnicity, uh, economic status, uh, national origin or any other classifications protected under the state and federal law in uh in a derogatory manner and shall be deemed irrelevant and will not be considered by the board. If you challenge these land use matters in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues that you or someone else has raised in an oral presentation or testimony before this hearing. Now we'll proceed with the approval of the agenda. See, are there any uh uh changes to the agenda? Good afternoon, uh chair and board, Ashley Atkinson, assistant director for planning and development. There are no changes to the agenda, but if I could just ask everyone to be sure to move the microphone close enough to you that you can be heard by the audience, that would be appreciated. You can't hear me. Now we can. Yes, we cannot hear you before. I can hear me too. Oh, there any proposed changes? What is going on? Okay, but why am I buzzing? So it won't record clear.
