I would like to take actually the two first agenda items together; the first item the applicant is requesting to amend an existing permit, and then if that amendment is approved by the Commission, the same applicant is requesting to revoke another existing SMA permit. So I would like to do the presentation for both at the same time since the two properties are adjacent to each other. BEAUDET: Sounds good. Thank you. 1 EXHIBIT A
