board indicated uh a preference to have uh Lee Klein as an independent traffic ailer engineer similar to the Dunkin Donuts facility. Um they asked they asked um Harbor to uh basically set that
up see what the uh what the u parameters were and they did. We got a letter back from Lee Klein with the fee with his scope of services and I got a resolution confirming that that we obtain uh through through Christ Christian's
office. Okay. So, um that needs a vote, correct? Yes. Okay. So, uh we need a motion to hire Mr. Klein. I make a motion. Motion made by Mr. Pantina, second by Mr. I'm sorry, Mr. One of you
guys out there. Yes. Mr. David. Yes. Mr. Kzi. Yes. Mr. Pantina. Yes. Matthew. Yes. Mr. Leardi. Yes. Mr. Seri. Yes. Mr. Duca. Yes. Mr. Galdi. Yes. And Mr. Yes. Okay. We're making record time. I'm not going to do this all night, but I'm going to
say this one time before we go into new business. Um we have found that we've been um hearing a lot of static on the microphones either from uh people talking in the audience or us up here
primarily opening up plans and then when we go back to review something we can't hear it. So I'm going to ask my board members, our board members as well as the people out there. When you're shuffling through these papers, we have to be cognizant of someone's speaking. we can't hear them when we have to play
it back. Okay. And if everybody can mute their phones, then we could just move on to application uh 25-004 uh Kennorth Corporation Property Urban Renewal LLC substation. All right. Good evening, Mr. Chairman, members of the board. Jason
Sel, attorney for the applicant. Uh first, before we get started, let me just thank the board for having a special meeting. I know everybody's got a busy schedule, so the applicant is really appreciative of that. Uh, so this is a site plan application for the corporate campus at 2000 Galloping Hill Road, block 181, lot 1.01 on the tax
duplicate. Uh, yeah, I'm going to just interrupt. I'm going to move out of your way cuz I know you got this going. Okay, sure. I'm sorry. The camera got me there. Yeah, you got you inside. It isn't
good. Okay. So, it's a site plan application for a proposed substation that will serve hopefully a future data center on the site in the K11 building. This would be the third substation for this uh corporate campus. So, it's something that's not unusual um to the
area. The substation under the current zoning and redevelopment plan or the proposed substation that is is a permitted use within the zone. It also meets or exceeds all the bulk standards set forth in the ordinance and doesn't exacerbate any pre-existing
non-conforming conditions. And as your planner put forth in his letter, it's actually consistent and in furtherance of what the master plan um promotes. So the applicant, as you well know since we've been here for the subdivision before, is really working on this campus to invest in it and make it the best
that that it can be. So we're coordinating with PSENG um on this substation. They're going to maintain the substation, operate the substation, and work with the um owner applicant um on it. In terms of maintenance and some of the operational information that came
up in the letter, we're going to address that during testimony, but just to preview it, the maintenance is very minimal. They do a once a week inspection with one to two employees. So, there's very minimal traffic that results from this. They'll be they they're going to maintain it from a security perspective in conjunction um
with the applicant. The site plan as part of this application I think is is very very um insightful and responsible by the applicant and by the engineer based on its location. We actually modified the location of the substation from the initial submission that we did
to move it a little further back from the residential area. So we're improving that. We're adding a wall to the substation in order to properly screen it. A fence landscaping se which includes several hundred trees. many
shrubs. We're reducing um imperous coverage. We are um adding new lighting that will be LED and dark sky compliant. Um we are also going to be repaving, restriping the parking areas. Um as part
of this process with the PSEG substation will not only have to come to this board, but we'll also have to go to PSENG. They're going to have to approve the substation based on their standards and they're also going to have to go through other uh outside agencies as part of that and we're happy to keep the
board informed um on our progress. We met with your board professionals not only through their review letters but also in person. We appreciate all their help in connection with this application. We looked at their comments and there's nothing that we don't that we can't comply with should the board
approve the application. Um so we plan on addressing all of their comments and questions. um your testimony. Mr. Chairman, I just have one witness that I plan on calling this evening, Daniel Nola, who's our project engineer. Representatives of the applicant are here as as you can see in the event that
there are any specific questions. But since this is a conforming application from a site plan perspective, I just thought Dan would be the best witness, but if there's some question that Dan can't answer, we have other people here uh just in case. So at this maybe at this point we could uh swear in Dan and
Mary our professionals as well so we can move that process. Absolutely. Christian and Kevin up. Gentlemen, with regard to this application, do you swear the testimony you may offer to be the truth? I do. Report engineer planner game. Um with regard to this application, do you
swear that your testimony shall be the truth? Yes. Can you state your name and spell your last name, please? Daniel Viola. M I O L A. Thank you. And it was indicated that you you're a licensed engineer. I think you've appeared before us before. That's correct. Your license
is still outstanding. Good. Okay. All right. Just for the record, Mr. Chairman, I just want to indicate that I provided my affidavit of service at publication to the board and I want to thank Kathy and Wanda for their help in this process. Um, coordinating the special meeting as well, which was really helpful. So, thank you. Thank
you. All right. So, Dan, um, let's get started. that have been sworn in and qualified. Why don't you just go over some of the existing conditions on the site and then we can just jump right into the proposal. Sure. So, I'm going to first speak to uh an exhibit that shows an aerial the existing site. It's
up on the the screen as well as a a board. Excuse me, Daniel. Is this something that we already have or is this an exhibit that needs to be marked? Let's mark it A1. And this is that correct?
They're both the same. Yep. Yeah. We provided everything to you per Mr. O'Brien's suggestion. 11 by7 big board and computer. So you can see everything. And roughly when was this taken? Uh within the last two years. Say within
the last two years. Yes. Okay. Thank you. All right. So and and Dan, you prepared this correct? That's correct. Okay. So why don't I continue? Um so just to orient everybody uh Galping Hill Road is on the the left part of this site. So so north is actually twisted
around um to the left. Uh the the overall tract here is uh over 100 acres. It's 7 acres total. Um it has cross on Galen Hill Road, the Garden State
Parkway, South 31st Street uh and Swenson Drive. Um it was recently subdivided into two lots. Uh one of which is 71 acres, the other is 36 acres. The project is
proposed on the larger 71 acre piece. Um the track was formerly utilized by Merc for research, laboratory, manufacturing, office and data center uses. Um, as we've indicated, the application
proposes a substation which will be located in the parking area uh to the east of K1. Um, so that would be this this parking area as I'm indicating with the the pointer is where
we're going to locate this substation. Um it is within the parking area to the east of uh the building known as Nest 11 or K1. It is however west of the perimeter roadway. Um that is the
internal driveway main access driveway through the site. Uh so we've located this all inboard of the perimeter roadway and we have no above grade improvements for this application uh outside of that that spine road if
you will. Um as indicated this substation is needed to bring additional power to the site in order to convert one of the buildings into a data center. The substation will be fed by new PSENG lines uh which we expect will be
underground. Uh they'll they are planning on bringing a service underground from Gal Hill Road or the north side of the site as well as another service uh from the the south side of the site which will come either through South 31st Street or Swansson
Drive. PSMG has not finalized their final alignment of these fever lines. Uh so we've had two meetings with them with respect to the alignment of their feeder lines. Uh and they're working on finding a card now through the site uh to feed
this [Music] substation. The substation's primary purpose is to take those feeder lines which are going to be the 69 KV service uh and reduce it to a voltage that can be can be used by the data center. Uh so
it the voltage coming out of the substation will be 26 KB. So it's it's basically dropping the the 69 KV voltage down to 26 KV which is a more uh usable voltage for the data center. So that's
that's the primary purpose. That's why we're here today. Um the campus already has two substations on it on the the east side of the site actually outside the the eastern
perimeter road as well as on the west side of the site by the Garden State Parkway. Um the campus also has a a co-generation plant uh which also produces power. Even with these three uh power producing facilities, uh this
additional power is needed in order for this uh data center to uh utilize all the capacity that it can. Um and so that that really explains the I guess the um the overall purpose of
the application. I'm now going to switch to my next exhibit. It's a little off to mark. This is A2. A2. Yes. and we'll we'll switch it on on screen too. You might want to switch it on screen. Um, so exhibit
A2, this shows a more zoomed in version of the site plan. Uh, and it's really a rendered version of the site plan which was submitted in our application. So everything on it is the
same. It just colorizes the landscaping and superimposes it on the site plan. There you go. Thank you, Mr. You'll provide these electronic administrator. Yep. Once they're part of the record, we'll provide hard copies or digital copies, whatever you prefer.
Both, please. Thank you. So, um I I switched the orientation on you now. So, so now Ging Hill Road would be at the top of the screen. Uh and so this is uh you know true true north is
straight up on this exhibit. Uh just for for reference uh the the road here that comes down is the main road that comes in from Galloping Hill Road. Uh so to explain
um the substation itself uh you know it's it's basically a yard area with electrical equipment within it. This substation will be 1.3 acres in size. It will have a 14t high screen wall
across the north uh uh part of the yard as well as the east part of the yard down to this eastern driveway. Um along the the south and west parts of this yard, it'll be a 8ft
high uh anti-fine ornamental fence uh metal fence. Um so that will uh will both will surround on all sides this this substation and it'll provide security uh for the substation. Substation will have
two main points of access. One is uh out to the east perimeter road. Another is out to the south parking lot. [Music] The yard will mostly be a gravel surface with asphalt pavement at the gated
driveways into the yard. Uh in terms of the components within the yard, uh we are proposing um three transformers which are these um these beige rectangles within the yard.
There's also three switch gear yards uh which are on the the west northwest part of the substation and then there's a a control house which is really the brains of the operation
um that is will be a structure uh 12 about 12 ft high 15 ft wide by by 55 ft long so under 1,000 square ft. Uh it's not a manned building. uh it really just
includes the the the controls uh for the substation. Uh in addition to those those are the major components there's other components such as capacitor bank 3 meters uh as well as other ancillary
equipment within the yard and Dan just before you get into some other aspects of the cyclone just from a bulk perspective the application complies with the ordinance and the plan there's we don't exacerbate any pre-existing non-conforming conditions. Uh that's correct.
Um with uh with respect to maintenance, I know you you touched on it uh Jason, but just uh to um provide some more testimony on that, there'll be weekly inspections performed by PSEMG personnel of this facility.
They have uh an operations maintenance manual that this facility will follow and they are responsible for for maintenance uh within the 69 KB substation components. Um the substation really only requires deliveries if a if a
component or equipment uh fails and requires replacement. Uh so so otherwise these are just these are just weekly inspections. uh we don't expect any kind of regular deliveries here in the normal course. Uh there are no employees
stationed here to operate this substation. Uh service and maintenance efforts are usually done with a two twoerson crew and a PSNG fleet vehicle. Uh from a a safety standpoint, there are major there there are many agencies with
jurisdiction over this substation, including the New Jersey BPU, FUR, which is the the Federal Energy Regula Regulatory Commission, PJM, which is Pennsylvania, New Jersey Maryland Interconnection LLC, OSHA, NJP, as well
as the US EPA all have uh standards that must be adhered to for this type of facility. Um, of all those agencies, really only one approval will be uh in written form for this substation that is
uh from PJM, which is the Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland Interconnection Agency. Uh, and they have already indicated to PSNG that they have approved uh this facility. Uh, we expect to have something in writing on
that uh in the coming months. Dan, in addition to the fence and the wall that you indicated that would secure the substation, uh, PSEG is also responsible for security as well and working with the property owner. Correct. Yes. Okay. All right. Why don't we talk a little
bit about landscaping, buffering, and and the location of the of the substation in relationship to the other properties? Um, yes. So uh the the location of the substation makes sense given it's inboard of that per road as well as it's close to the
ultimate destination for this tower which is the the Nest 11 building to the to the west of it. Um given this location uh is on the east side of site uh and we do abut single
family residences uh on that part of the tracks. We have uh taken several steps to screen this proposed substation from our residential neighbors. Um I guess I'll I'll start with the substation and work my way out
closer to the to the residential utters. Uh but first, as I explained, uh we have a 14t high brick screen wall on the north and east parts of the the substation yard. Uh and then it becomes the the 8ft high
fence. Uh right outside of that, uh we have a row of evergreens, uh as well as a few deciduous trees along the south side as well as the the east side. Outside of that, uh there is the
the perimeter road that goes to the the traffic light on Galvin Hill Road. Um on the east side that perver road there is a double row of very of mature evergreen trees that provide existing screening uh
for this part of the site. When you work your way further to the south uh as indicated in this exhibit, we also have uh mature trees flanking the southern part of this perimeter road on both sides.
Um so that's what exists. We're proposing to enhance it uh not only with the row of of evergreens on the south and immediate to the to the east of the substation yard, but we are also proposing
uh two rows of evergreen trees uh on the outside of the perimeter road on the south side in order to provide additional screen for these homes that are on Ryan Terrace. Uh and for the homes that are further north, which is
Walton Avenue, we're providing uh similarly a double row of evergreen trees for additional screening. Um overall for for Walton Avenue here, we have 58 evergreen trees. Uh within this
uh buffer immediately adjacent to that property line on for Ryold Terrace, we have 65. And that's in addition to the existing vegetation. Correct. Uh correct. Outside what we need to remove for the yard itself, we're not removing any any landscaping beyond that. We're
just uh augmenting or supplementing what's out there. Uh what's out there is pretty pretty mature. So So it doesn't really make sense to to take it down. Um, in total we're proposing 169 evergreen trees, 13 shade and ornamental
trees, and uh close to 100 shrubs in total. Um, and so that's uh really the the testimony on the landscaping as well as the buffering and screening that we're uh for this substation. There are a few
other improvements that I'd like to touch on in my testimony. Uh first is the for the the parking lot to the south of the substation. Due to the introduction of this fence and the fact that this was an existing parking lot uh
as well as to accommodate the future area that will be used by the the data center. We are also proposing to extend this fence down uh to the south in order to really cordon off um this parking lot from what
will ultimately be utilized at by the data center user. Uh and so because of the instruction of that fence uh to separate the two the two parcels um we are proposing to rework uh right along
the fence the the curbing and and parking uh and so the what what's shown to the south of this main drive aisle all this parking is here now it's proposed to remain as is. We're going to seal the
pavement uh with with a seal coat, but uh we are proposing new curve and and reconfiguring the parking immediately adjacent to the fence in order to make use of of of the space we have the new the new space we have for this parking
lot. So, as part of that rework, there's four light poles uh that will be relocated. Um the rest of the lighting in the in this parking lot will uh receive new light fixtures, LED light
fixtures. Uh we do not expect or anticipate that those new light fixtures will be any any brighter than what is out there already. In fact, they're they're new LED fixtures and they'll they'll they'll be equipped with controllers and timers and things like
that. Uh, and so they'll be uh we'll be able to dim them during the the the we hours of the night. Um, in addition to that, regarding lighting, there will be some lighting uh within the yard itself. All that lighting will be lower than 14 ft
uh which is the the elevation of of the wall, the screen wall itself. um that is also uh on a switch LED and and dimmable and it is anticipated that it'll be dimmable um during those uh those early hours.
Uh Ben, just some of the items in the review letter I just wanted to touch on. You did touch upon landscaping. Mr. O'Brien had asked if we could put supplement the parking area with some additional trees. Uh would be able to do that? Yes. Um Mr. O'Brien had cited that
uh that relief would be needed uh for for 11 trees that were deficient on for this surface parking lot. Uh and we're going to agree to add those 11 trees in order to not require that. Okay. I agree with Mr. Tubau that that's a design
waiver. We have talked about that. So, but we but based on the amount of trees that we're replacing with and the additional ones that you indicated before, you believe that it's a sensible design alternative. That's correct. Yes. Okay. And then in the board engineers review letter, he asked if you could touch upon storm water and how drainage
would be handled on site. Do you mind speaking to that? Sure. Um uh as a result of uh putting a a gravel yard on what is an existing um asphalt pavement surface, water
quantity, water quality, groundwater recharge is all improving. Um and so there there's a net benefit to just removing that that pavement and putting the gravel surface that's proposed here. uh and so that that will uh improve both
water quality, water quantity and and groundwater recharge for this area. Okay. And we uh my firm did a storm management report um that demonstrated that improvement. One other item in the board engineers review letter that I want to make sure we touched upon was
can you just clarify the amount of spaces that we have on the campus and what's required? I know that we can fly, but if you could just indicate what the totals are as we're decreasing the amount of parking because this is going over an existing lot by 189 spaces. Um the
remaining amount of parking on the campus will total to 2,879 spaces which is enough parking to service the rest of the buildings on the site based on the the the zoning. Uh which we've calculated that based on
zoning this site requires 2,793 spaces. So we have a a surplus of about 80 spaces. Okay. And then one of the items in Mr. O'Brien's letter just so we hit that. There's no proposed identification signage uh with the applications.
Correct. Correct. Okay. And you've had a chance to review both Harbor's letter dated April 17th, 2025, as well as Mr. O'Brien's letter. I believe it's dated April 22nd, 2020 2025. And you'll agree
to comply with all those items set forth if you haven't touched upon them already. Correct. I agree. comply with all comments uh from those four professional. All right. And just to sum up, in connection with the proposal, you believe that there's a benefit as it relates to landscaping, storm water, and
whiting to the overall property? Correct. Yes. And you don't see any negative impacts to the surrounding properties as a result of the proposal? Correct. Mr. Chairman, that's all I have for Mr. Miola. We're happy to answer any questions that the board may have. Okay. Um, at this point, does the board have
any questions for Mr. Ma? Mr. Just quick question on parking. What was the reason again for uh separating the two parking areas? Um, the uh the lots were this overall 107 acre lot was recently subdivided and the subdivision goes
right along this line. And so we we're putting a fence up to really um delineate that division between the two lots. And because of the introduction of that fence, uh, that required the reconfiguration of this this parking
area because you can't have an aisle that exit the fence. And are those southern the new park space that's part of the overall calculation or it's not? It is a part of the overall calculation, but they largely exist today. Uh, again along the along the fence itself, uh,
there was a reconfiguration needed. So for these these rows that immediately above the fence uh those are new new parking spaces but the rest of these are are existing spaces. Thanks. Anyone else have any questions? Uh Mr.
Clement what's the height of the wall? 14 ft I have a question about drainage. You're saying that the Q factors on the waterhed are going to be less. I mean you did the drainage report right? Correct. Okay. So now you're
removing the existing storm water y from the parking lot. You're stripping it down and what are you putting it back with? Gravel. It's just gravel. PP it's just going to be straight gravel. Gravel and uh your anticipation
when you do drench calite it'll percolate into the soil and there'll be no excess come with that as far a little. Okay. All right. Yep. Um, as it's a it's an improvement uh compared to the I think it'll be I'm just a little concerned about where you're
doing your run. Is it going to go back and filter back into the system water drainage in the parking lot or the substation? Uh, won't be equipped with the series of inlets and pipes. Okay, good. And you provide that where the the
bridge is going to go? Yes. Okay. Thank you. Anyone else? So, I just want to ask a question to be clear. Um, as part of your testimony, uh, Daniel, you said that, uh, you are you you put into your testimony
lighting, trees, shrubs, fencing. Um, of course, the capacitor and the substation. That's really what we're here, the wall. So, everything that we talked about tonight is part of this application, and we wouldn't have to hear that again going forward. Um, if
you're approved tonight for that, we won't hear that again. That's part of this application. That That's correct, Mr. Chairman. Okay. Okay. Uh, there's no more. Yes. Mr. Should I ask a member question because he also happens to
represent the fire department both. You guys main access point. Listen, if the substation's done, we're going to be with ladder trucks and bikes. We uh they spoke with our fire official. He kind of
spoke to me about it and we're going to have access around the site. Uh Mr. O'Brien, to assist in that answer, uh we were on site on Tuesday and the site manager assured us that they had been in touch with the fire
department and that the plans had been reviewed. the fire department was aware of and everybody was comfortable uh with what was presented. I was hoping that uh the board would have dialogue after we open up to the public and then maybe
something can stir up and then we could have our conversation and then do our our voting. Okay. Um would uh what I'd like to do if is there any other questions for the professionals at this point? We'd also like to reserve the right to have you come back if we need anything. Um, I I think what I like to
do if there's a motion to make a motion to open this application hearing to the public. Motion made by Mr. Davis, second by Mr. Duga. All in favor? I. Is there anyone from the public wishing to speak about this application and this application
only? All right. Seeing none, I make a motion to close the public portion of the hearing. Okay. Oh, second made by Mr. Davis, second by Mr. Duke. All in favor? I. Okay. Now, I I think it's a good time for us to have some dialogue to see where we're going to go with
this, if there's any more dialogue uh to be had. Anyone else to have any other questions pertaining to anything? None. Not our professionals. Yes. Thank you, chairman. Um
[Music] uh your staff and our chair went to the site on Tuesday at the invitation to monics. We saw the site of the substation. Excuse me. The aerial
please. Thank you. That's a nice picture. and we had a really good view of what was going on here. I have photographs of the site and of the surrounding area should the board want to look at. But I
can assure the board that regarding the view of the substation from Walton uh which [Music] is who somewhere on the map. I can see the
hair and up at the top as well. Thank you. Uh we were able to see those homes uh from very close on the site. In fact, uh we found out the other day that there is a super secret tract about 8 ft wide
with um you know what? I'm going to scratch that testimony um cuz we're a public here. So anyway, we were able to go over behind those residences and then go to the new substation site. And uh I can't believe
that there's going to be any view of this new construction from those residences, nor will there be any view from anywhere else within the borders of the beautiful burrow of
Cal. Uh, so we did have a very productive site visit. Um, I say I do have photographs of the board interested. Uh, I'll point out to the board that this is a site plan application. Uh, there's a couple of pre-existing variances in the design
waiver all within the parameters of the redevelopment ordinance and all of my concerns have been addressed. Uh any other particulars I have will be addressed in sites plan resolution.
Thank you. Welcome. Any questions? Any questions? Okay. Thank you very much. So I too was part of that team that went out to do a site visit and I wanted to uh assure the board members of a couple of things of
what I took home with me. I I think from a standpoint of understanding construction and understanding uh what they're trying to accomplish, they made every effort to try to blind everything that's going on in this
substation with the trees, the BMS, the buffering. And it was very important that I I saw that with with with my own eyes to convey it back to you. I know that everybody was worried where Kennorth starts and maybe union begins
and I was a little disoriented when I got there and I actually thought part of that was on our side but we also not we they also took care of our neighbors as well which we need to be concerned with all the time. Um as far
as the uh the wall going up you can kind of see once you're there it's not going to be offensive. Um, you can see that where the gate, the fence is going to pick up and go around, it's going to lend itself to a natural beauty line.
They're also taking uh into consideration not to match the wall that was out there um in its entirety already from many years ago. And they're going to introduce a different style color of
wall which will lend itself to the new motif, let's say. And um so I just wanted you guys to know that there is a buffer road that can get back there. There is a a fence between the neighbors and then a buffer road and then another fence and then a burm and then trees.
And I I mean when you stand there, you can't see anything. What impressed me too was that they took the time um I guess it was an A2 slide. you could see it better where the existing um uh substation is which is I believe Meta
told me it's about 250 ft or 260 ft from Okay, that's that little white cache mark I think up in that right corner. Is that right there? So up there to the first house it's 250 or 260 ft away which you can't see anyway. But coming
back down into where the new station is going to be. The closest house is all the way down I think to that would be to the west and all the way down in the corner here. Is this one? Yeah, that would be the south, right? That's south.
That's only that's it reduced but by 200 it's 210 ft but you can't see anything. I was struggling and we're not in full foliage yet to actually see the staircase. So, uh, I wanted to bring that back. It wasn't just a walk and
having tea. It was it we had to make sure that everything was was working the way they presented. So, uh, that's my input on what's going on here today. Anyone else?
Okay, that's all I have, Mr. Chairman. I think I think we did it. Okay. Um, is there a motion on the floor to is someone want to make a motion? I'll make a motion that we approve application. Thank you for helping me there, Mr.
Lady. Mr. Lady made a motion. Is there a second? Second by everyone else. Mr. Scaderi. All in favor? Roll call. Mr. Perno. Yes. Mr. David. Yes. Mr. Kenti. Yes. Mr. Bentina. Yes. Mr. Mazio.
Yes. Yes. Mr. Scaderi. Yes. Mr. Luca. Yes. Mr. Yes. And Mr. Okay, great. Thank you very much. I just have one question for the board. Um, the applicant is eager to get this moving. If we were to file for building permits while resolution compliance was pending, we
obviously know that the permits can't be issued until Kevin um and Christian sign up on the plans. We understand that. But would the board have any objection to us pre-filing those permits in advance of the meet of lines? What this board normally would tell you um is that uh it
goes against the grain to do something like that. However, Mr. Rego will expedite a resolution as quickly as possible, but if you did decide to do something like that, you're flying at your own risk. If you build something, we could have you take it down. Um but,
uh in the past, we have done that. Um I don't see as the chairman I don't see as a problem with that but I um again you would be yeah going at your own risk. I appreciate that. Yeah the state regs were amended to allow us to do that and that it actually says what you just said
which is that if you do that you are doing that subject to your own risk and anything changing. So so I will ask the board does the board have an objection if he did do something. Well the other thing I was going to offer Mr. chairman is that we have I don't know if it's appropriate but we have a special meeting on May 15th so that's not that
far away um which is sooner than our next board meeting so perhaps we can add it to the agenda for that night assuming the blue can have the resolution time I'd be happy to get that on okay great thank you very much okay and we can do it that way and thank you very much for
a perfect uh application very thank you luck giant thank you okay Next thing, uh, any comments for the board? Special meeting May 15th, 6 p.m. here. Special meeting
6 p.m. here. No more lead and resol. Okay. This is the this is and the resolution and the resolution.
Okay. Okay. Um I just want to say I wish all you know sometimes we struggle getting through these applications when people are well prepared presentations are well all our questions are answered. It's just such a smoother process applicants. I couldn't agree
with you more. I don't know if you gentlemen heard that. Um Mr. Lady did express that when applications come in and well prepared it makes our life a lot easier and thank you for that. I know it took a lot of time to put together. So thank you. Appreciate it.
