Thank you. [transcription gap] So, on behalf of the Zoning Board of Appeals, everyone will recall this matter was last on on July 11th of 2024. The Zoning Board did not hear or open the hearing, and instead the matter was remanded for consideration for Planning Board for site plan. Thank you. Thank you. At this time, it's my understanding that the applicant did in fact file the administrative site plan, and at this time it's appropriate, since we did not open the hearing, that the fee be returned. Mr. Graham Weber is here tonight, but I want to assure members of the Zoning Board that I did inform his firm that the appearance tonight wasn't. Not necessary. But I think Mr. Graham wanted to just say a word or two. Sure. Thank you. Again, Bram Weber from Weber Law Group for the applicant. I'm sure just that I understand we're under adjournment. We did make an application promptly to the Planning Board. We'll be going to the Planning Board hopefully shortly soon. Maybe as soon as next week. Just questioning, Counsel, on the fee return. I'm not sure what the... I anticipate we're going to be back before the Zoning Board of Appeals. So, I don't know if there's a reason to return the fee. I thought we'd just adjourn until it was appropriate. Appropriate for us to make our presentation. This matter isn't adjourned. This matter was not appropriately with the Zoning Board of Appeals in the first instance. We were adjourned to this date. That was what we... You were adjourned to this date, and I'm informing you that the matter was not appropriate and ripe for the Zoning Board of Appeals. Hence, it's going through the site plan process. So, it's not an adjournment at this point. It's remanded to Planning Board, and the Zoning Board can't predetermine what will occur during the Planning Board process. If you're asking us to hold the fee in the event that you do come back to the Zoning Board, we can do that. But typically, and in fairness... Okay. Okay. If the Zoning Board is not hearing the application, and the matter was remanded, and it's now before Planning Board, we would return the fee. Okay. So, I would say this. I would say you should keep the fee. I anticipate we'll be back before the Zoning Board of Appeals, and I've received no indication that the application... Again, we filed for a building permit. We got a rejection letter. We filed the Zoning Board of Appeals application. It was processed. We were informed of the hearing. We noticed the hearing appropriately. We came to the hearing last time. That hearing was adjourned. All those steps were, in our opinion, correct. We were instructed to go to the Planning Board. We have now done that. So, I don't see a reason to do anything different than let us go to the Planning Board, let us resolve whatever questions and issues they would like to discuss at the Planning Board, and then we'll come back to the Zoning Board of Appeals at the appropriate time. That's correct. That's correct. To be crystal clear... Okay. I have been very candid and forthright. No one, including myself, has asserted that the applicant did anything wrong with the application. I have been very candid and forthright. The appropriate process under our town code was not followed, and the matter should have been first presented to the Planning Board with site plan. Okay. And that's what we're doing? Exactly. All right. Thank you. Thank you. Good evening. Thank you. Have a great night. You too. Thank you. Heather, you want to go on the calendar? Okay. So, we're going back to the beginning of the agenda, the request for extension? Mm-hmm. Okay.

The shed's not visible from anywhere except from the front of your house. Not even hardly from the front. The firewood is. That's different firewood. I'm just saying that is visible from the front. Yeah, down the driveway? Yes. Yes, but that's... The shed is over behind the use there where you see the tractor. That's where we want to put it because that's the only horrible piece on the property.
