familiar with it. >> I'm I'm not, but I'm in support and I'm the neighbor. >> You are or you are not? >> I am in support and I am the neighbor here on behalf of the applicant. >> Okay. Well, the procedure is we take the application. We've had that the members of the board have reviewed it. You have
an opportunity to speak in further support of it. Any member of the community can speak if they have some comments and after that we'll take a vote. uh you should understand that this board does not have the authority to grant or deny the application outright. Rather, what we do is make a
recommendation to the town council and they have the final authority. Um we have the material you submitted. We've all reviewed it. Uh do you have anything you want to add? >> No, I'm it can fall on my house too and I'm worried about it. So, okay.
>> Oh, I'm Neil Smith and I live at 351 Sable Palm which is adjacent to 341 and the tree is on my neighbor's property just on the line and kind of goes both ways. So, it's my house that it's kind of leaned over and started to the branches are kind of over now.
>> Mr. Chair, just for the record, if I may, um we had received uh correspondence from the applicant uh noting that he was going to be unavailable and that there would be someone else um speaking on his behalf. I just want to make sure everyone knew that for the record. >> Yeah, that's me. >> He's He's out of town.
>> Thank you. Um I just have one question. There's an indication that there will be a another tree planted. You know where that's going to go? >> I He It's somewhere on his property. I do not know the location, but we could obviously get that for you. I don't I
don't have that information. >> Okay. But >> any other questions, comments? I don't see anybody, but is there anybody from the community that wants to speak? No. Okay. Uh,
can I have a motion? >> Motion to approve. >> Second. >> I'll second that. >> All in favor? >> I. >> Any opposed? Motion passed. You have your recommendation, sir. Thank you. And just
not that it matters, but then it goes to the town in a month, a week. Like I have no idea what the program is, just that not that it matters, just conceptually. >> Oh yeah. Uh Mr. Chair, um board, uh sir, our town council meeting is next Tuesday. Um it will be placed on the

>> Thank you. Thank you sir. >> Mr. Chair um and board. Uh first of all, nice to see some of you. Happy New Year as was mentioned. Um it would be worthwhile as a call to the audience. Um you know, I see somebody in the audience and normally we have public comment in any public meeting at the end. You've
already asked for it on the issue, but I just want to make sure and going forward we're probably going to add that to our agenda just so there's no question if somebody has a question for public comment. So I would invite you to ask if there's anybody. If not, then we could discern, but that's up to you.
I believe you did ask >> I meant globally outside of the individual item. >> Oh that's >> any issue >> well related to the planning zoning variance board. >> Okay maybe not any >> on that note is there anybody who wants
to uh bring something to the board's attention? >> Okay. >> Any comments from anyone? Any further business from the board or council? >> No sir. Thank you sir. >> Mr. Town Manager? >> Nothing sir. We we all concluded. Thank you. Thank you.
>> Thank you.
