And, again, this is just housekeeping overall. You know, during the, in 2000 there was a change to the bed and breakfast section within the Code. One of the changes was that they felt it was not necessary for every bed and breakfast to need to go through a plan approval process because basically it was an accessory use to the dwelling. And so in that process there were some areas within the Code that were overlooked that should have been changed. And, additionally, in looking through the Code there were some minor changes that we just wanted to do some housekeeping to bring it in consistency with the other Code. So that’s, it’s just a simple housekeeping measure that we’re doing. You may see more of these coming through as we’re beginning to try to clean up our Code. I stand ready to answer any questions, if you might have some. KERN: Are there any questions for staff? Seeing none -. DARROW: Thank you. KERN: Thank you Jeff.
