Hi, this is Len Brenny. I'm the owner of property at 5100 Lake Ridge Road, and I got a notice of public hearing for the use of land on 5115 and 5121 Lake Ridge Road for a variance of the setback and I'm calling just to let you know that I have no problem with that setback. I think the whole plan with the Doherty's applying for the variance will be just a real compliment to the neighborhood. So again, just to confirm, I have no problem with that setback. I'm all in favor of them moving forward with their project of building that that home on those two lots. No problem at all with that setback variation. Thank you.
