what he’s planning to do to alleviate this problem. There is on his proposal 110 parking stalls for 88 units. Each unit has one stall. Every four units have another stall. Where is that other 20, 22 cars going to be parking? There’s no room here. So, we, there’s no traffic light, there’s no proposal for that. And we feel that the change should be disallowed; and if it’s approved please have a retaining wall throughout the adjoining properties so we’ll have privacy on our own. I don’t want to call the police department every time somebody trespasses on my property going to their car. I don’t know them. So that’s, that’s our proposal. Thank you.
