my name is duncan lye and i'm here to speak about the same application dracari is referring to. our group has been in second position since the applications were submitted in may of last year and the permit in front of us at 1335 grant avenue has delayed their application to the deadlines that they've been given every time and based on the very accomplished list of people that are associated with that permit, you have to assume they understand the process and know what they're doing. they've delayed an attempt to paint a local favour to change zoning prohibits accessory use on grant avenue as it is and that proved unsuccessful and they adjusted their plans which we still find to be out of compliance with the code and accessory use. we don't believe this was the intent of the application process. they forced the only competitor to bleed money in hopes we draw. we have a zoned and qualified location and we have a more than qualified equity applicant who represents the definition and spirit of the law. so we ask that today you review the pending application and ask for 1312 columbu
