I'm still Pat Mallet with the Planning <br /> Department and I've been duly sworn. I'm going to skip through a few of these slides because <br /> for the sake of avoiding redundancy and repetition. But the same rules apply, obviously, as <br /> we've just discussed. But I did want to call your attention to this slide. This sort of highlights the <br /> property in blue. The area and the limits of the Special Use Permit are defined roughly in red on <br /> the aerial photo.
