Similar wording

um how when was the last time you had contact with the client in the store for needs oh my gosh

Similar wording

i mean actual contact i mean back around the time of these hearings i mean years ago i mean we had a

Similar wording

we had some pushback from the community when we met with the community and um you know they just

Similar wording

kind of faded and stopped communicating with us regarding how they intended to proceed um i don't

Similar wording

and i've had no contact with them since then i've reached out from to them occasionally and

Similar wording

I assume they didn't intend to proceed, but I've never been able to formally confirm that with them.

Similar wording

All right. I think we can you can then I recommend voting to dismiss both of those cases.

Similar wording

So MI 2025-003-804, which is listed as 3824 North Broad Street, and MI 2025-003-856, 3824 North Broad Street, I vote to dismiss on both the same proviso, two-year rule waived.

Similar wording

And then the only other thing on that, I would ask, and I can email separately, that email, that calendar number that I also have for 3824 North Broad Street, because I have it in notices in our file, 29489.

Similar wording

I'll follow up and just to see whether that's another straggler that wasn't picked up in the net with these, and that can also be disposed.

Similar wording

David, do you have anything else?

Similar wording

No, that's it. Thank you.

Similar wording

Michael Johns, my vote is to dismiss both with provisos.

Similar wording

No, just again, I'm going to follow up with that other calendar number for this address

Similar wording

and then see if that's another one that we can dispose of as well.

Similar wording

Do we have anything else?

Similar wording

No.

Similar wording

Actually, Mr. Orfinides, hang on one second.

Similar wording

Mr. Reuter may have additional information about the Taney Street case.

Similar wording

Okay.

Similar wording

That was a wrongful, I think, not a wrongful, I shouldn't say wrongful.

Similar wording

That was a demo case, wasn't it?

Similar wording

Yes.

Similar wording

Hi, thanks.

Similar wording

leonard reuter uh for the city uh i wanted to check some of uh mr orphaniti's cases because

Similar wording

i did work for him for a little bit um or with with him for a little bit and i just wanted to

Similar wording

make sure it wasn't anything anyway it did look it does look like so the actual address of the

Similar wording

property is 2601 poplar street it's on the corner of taney taney's like a an alternative address

Similar wording

or alternate address uh anyway a subsequent zoning permit was applied for and obtained

Similar wording

actually a couple of them since then one in 2022 was obtained uh adam laver represented them at

Similar wording

that time uh and then another zoning permit was issued uh in 2023 um and at that time they were

Similar wording

represented by fox rotschild so i mean i think the matter could probably just be your appeal

Similar wording

uh david could probably just be withdrawn but or just mark dismissed yeah i don't i don't have any

Similar wording

information on it i'm trying to pull a 26 of one popular now in our database but um

Similar wording

i'm not saying we've already reached okay all right all right thanks lynn i really appreciate it

Similar wording

if the if the board based on that information would like to dismiss the case since there have
