If you'll give your name and address for the record, uh four individuals can speak in favor of an application for an opposition. The applicant and each of those uh individuals gets five-minute time period, there'll be a warning at four minutes saying you got a minute, you got to summarize your statement or comments, and then the applicant will have an opportunity for a two-minute uh time period for rebuttal. If you will direct your comments and statements to us as the board, not to others in the audience or to the staff. And if I feel that because we've interrupted somebody or we've had questions, we can extend that time period. It's at my discretion. If you've got questions regarding the board's decision, you call the planning department at two five one two oh eight fifty-eight ninety-five. And at the end of those statements and the rebuttal, then we'll call for um deliberation of the of the board and for a motion, either in support or in opposition to the application request. It takes five to affirm a motion. We have six individuals here, so it takes at least five to uh approve a motion. And I will ask before I forget if you got cell phones and including the board members, turn them on silent or off so we don't have a disturbance. If you've got any handouts that the board should look at, if you'll give them to staff now so that we don't have to stop the meeting to distribute, I'd appreciate it.
