Thank you, Tanya. Mr. Chairman, out of the abundance of caution, we're asking that this
be continued because the property was posted. However, I learned last weekend that the poster

be relisted anyone object to the request for continuance here i have antonio cruz

We sent a memo.
Do you swear in the firm to tell the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth?
thank you we sent a memo saying that we are not opposed to it i am familiar personally with the
property that backyard it was always assumed to be part of reed street there was a confusion
back in the 56 the 50s or the 60s when the redevelopment authority wrote the deed and
they basically took the front of one property and gave it to the back of another which would
landlock reed street and so but if we don't grant the variance the lot would be unbuildable by city
standards so we have no objection to reed street being a buildable lot thank you
pardon me mi-2020-001233 1347 south hick street my vote is yes my vote is yes my vote is yes
