there wouldn’t, it would not have been signed off. So we couldn’t -. I wish we could have brought permitted structures to you guys today. But we certainly plan on doing that. DOMINGO: Well, in actuality then, being realistic, all these buildings should be taken away from the property and then you can come in for an application for the anticipated use and consider it; and then, therefore, there wouldn’t be any problem with regards to acquisition or permits for this property. You stated that you’re working out of the Shirakawa Hotel. And then are you still using these buildings to conduct the retreat for those people? ZELKO: We still farm there. And the children, the campers do still go to the farm because it’s difficult at the Shirakawa Hotel, and there’s not a lot of area to farm. I don’t know, you may have started doing some farming there. But for the most part we do go out there and farm, and the kids do still go out there. It’s just they do not stay and they don’t use the facilities. DOMINGO: Not one bit? ZELKO: Except the things that are under six feet, and those aren’t in the, those are, you don’t have to permit those.

And I understand the concerns about the delay as far as the survey actually getting the work done. However, the reason, you know, and I would agree with the former Commission, right, that the survey needs to be done. And the reason is that you don’t want the sites destroyed, right? You went ahead and did work on the property, made these unpermitted building, right, and now the survey comes in and says we can’t find anything. Okay? As far as I know you may have destroyed them, just where the buildings are. We don’t know. Okay? There’s no way for us to know now. And that’s my concern. And so, you know, that is the difficulty you have placed us in, right? And my wife is an educator, okay, and she always tells the kid, always tell the kids, you know the rules. Right?
