Not a lot, but, <br />yeah, I'm glad to be there, and I'm glad to service the community, and everybody seems to be <br />happy. I need more storage units to provide what is needed and asked for by the community. I <br />have to send people away at this time. <br />CLARKSON: Did you read the Planning Director's Background Report and Recommendations, <br />and do you agree with all of the conditions that are in there? <br />LEETCH: I do, and I did, yes. <br />CLARKSON: Okay. Are there any questions for the Applicant from any other Commissioner? <br />If not, thank you. <br />RAFFIPIY: Mr. Chairman, can I makeI just want to make a comment.
