Yes, thank you. So, yeah, we just need the variance for the sign that others are by right.
I'll review, I believe they were applied for separately, but we included them as part of the total sign package.
But if it needs to be amended, we'll certainly do that.
so we'll just move we'll just move forward today as as is as the scope is and you can if for some
reason a new application needs to be submitted for the buy right signs you can do that separately
and that'll be the easiest thing okay thank you questions or comments from the virtual audience

Good afternoon, Chair Oleg Sokolov, O-L-E-G-S-O-K-O-L-O-V.
We're affirmed to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
What case do you want to talk about?
I was actually retained at the last moment on 2353 to 59 Haggard Street.
It's an appeal of an administrative adjustment.
We had Mr. Ward listed at that, and we have it as a continuance attorney-moving party.
My understanding from Mr. Ward, who sporadically communicated with the client that it was continued to today, and I saw it on today's.
Yeah, but I'm saying today there's a request for a continuance attorney-moving party.
Further.
Into the future, right.
Yes, and Mr. Ward did make that request. So if there is a change in council, we do need some formal documentation of that, like letters indicating withdrawal and entry of a parent.
Okay. Understood. Is there any chance that I can request that the board continue this matter in the short term, perhaps to next week's hearing?
this is a it's kind of a fluctuating on the spot situation and i mean there's construction ongoing
so um because this is an appeal against lni um there needs to be an attorney from the city and
i do not we don't have hearings next week um the following week i i not sure the availability of
city attorney at this point so please please contact um the the board um board administration
and we will determine when when we are able to hear this case okay i appreciate your time thank
