Okay, cool.

4:37

Oh, I see.

4:38

Okay, so if it's down there and planning commission, that means it's on there.

4:44

Cool.

4:45

All right, 23, 2026.

4:47

Yeah, it's my first time here.

4:50

2023 20 or 2026 434, open continue.

5:00

Ex parte, open close, amend and move.

5:04

Item number 25, 2026, 436, open continue.

5:08

Item 26, 2026, 437, ex parte, open, close, amend and move.

5:15

All right, 27, 2026, 438.

5:18

Ex parte, open, close move.

5:22

And 28, 2026, 439.

5:25

Ex parte, open close move.

5:28

And let's see.

5:34

And then the other following bills are deferred.

5:37

226, 475, 476, 477, 478, 479, 480, 481, 482, 483, 484, 485.

5:47

Which brings us to page 18, item 40, 2026, 486.

5:55

41, 2026, 487, ex parte, open close move.

6:00

And item number 42, 2026, 488, ex parte open close move.

6:06

Those are planning department denials.

6:08

So what can you tell us about that?

6:10

Briefly, if there's anything that stands out.

6:14

Property owner currently has two legally non-conforming homes on it.

6:18

They want to add a third on it.

6:20

And uh there's um a bunch of uh accessory structures that are not permitted, they don't meet setbacks.

6:26

So they're just trying to bring everything on the site into conformance and add that third home to the property.

6:31

Gotcha.

6:33

All right.

6:35

And I believe everything else is on second reading.

6:40

So 2026, 523, 524, 525, 526, 527, 528, 529, 530, 531, 532, 533, 534, and 544 are all second reads.

6:54

With that, um was there a submerged land or Paul Harden?

7:00

Does Paul Harden have I didn't see his name in here?

7:02

Does he have something coming up today or no?

7:04

Okay, he called me earlier, and I thought he needed to get in and out of here.

7:08

So if he comes, great.

7:10

If not.

7:12

Oh, it's just a that's right.

7:15

It's just a presentation.

7:17

Okay, okay, got it.

7:19

It's just the presentation that he's been giving.

7:21

So that's good.

7:22

Um, and then Miss Clark Murray is asking to have items 17, 18, and 25 moved up.

7:31

So we will uh grant that for her, and otherwise, we are all good to go.

7:38

Yes, sir, Mr.

7:39

Harvey.

7:41

What's that?

7:44

Yeah, 17, 18, and 25, I believe.

7:49

Okay.

7:50

So let's see.

7:53

The bill number, let's see.

7:55

Okay, 428, 429, are those in?

7:57

Those are Clark Murray's, and then 25 is not.

8:04

So which one did you say, Rebecca?

8:06

24.

8:06

So it's probably 24.

8:08

Okay, yeah, 435.

8:09

Okay.

8:10

Cool.

8:12

Duly noted.

8:14
