next speaker, please. >> i'm here for bill knudsen. i have a letter to read for someone that couldn't be here. "what i'm concerned about is the mischaracterization of todd and kevin. i cycle with them every week. i know their hearts. the fact that they keep, being referred to as developers, is wrong. they've been excited about developing this property for themselves. a place to live. we have a number of friends that live in that area. it's disengenuous that they're concerned about extra units for rental or purchase and yet both of the properties are single-family homes with buildable lots where they could expand it and yet they have not done that themselves. that seems hypocritical. one has a solid cement wall. and the other an ugly staircase. i find that a little bit offensive that people would have mischaracterized todd and kevin that way. they're great guys. they want to live in this area. they want to build and develop and live in a very nice home and, yes, they take way too much care of their dogs. >> thank you. any additional pub
