All right.
Mr. Chair, I just have a couple of questions
for Mattel. Mattel, what is your relationship to the case in addition to DePaul Patel's
relationship to the case? Because it's a little bit unclear. We have a LLC as the listed owner.
We're just trying to figure out who everyone is. So DePaul Patel is the sole owner for the property
LLC. He's the owner of the property. I'm his wife. Okay. So under the LLC, you said. Okay.
Okay. And he is the one seeking the variance for the property?
That's correct.
Okay. All right. So because the property is owned in the name of an LLC, this case has to be presented to the board by an attorney.
Have you retained an attorney to this point?
I have not. No, we have not. I was under the impression because it was just a one owner, we would be able to present ourselves.
Unfortunately, no, the property is deeded to an LLC, so an attorney is required in this case.
Unfortunately, no, the property is deeded to an LLC.
Thank you.
So MI 2023-004-627-4710 Warrington Avenue, this case is continued.

Please proceed, sir.
My PowerPoint was submitted last week to the – I don't have any knowledge that it was not received by the board.
Hilary, do we have any records of this that we know?
We will have to double check. The information that I've received so far is that we did not receive anything. Mr. Canuso, where did you send your PowerPoint?
I'm not sure of the exact address, but I can have my assistant resend it right now.
Okay, that would be fine. You can re-forward it and make sure it goes to RCO, ZBA, and board council. The other issue that we sometimes have is if it was over about 15 megabytes or so, it could have bounced back due to size. But try to resend it now, and we'll take a look and see if we are able to hear this today.
Thank you.
