Uh currently, 208 00:13:26,399 --> 00:13:32,160 this dash line right here is an existing 209 00:13:29,680 --> 00:13:34,160 gas line to the previous house that was 210 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:36,320 here. The gentleman bought this house, 211 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,920 tore the house down, and has built a new 212 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,160 uh new house. 213 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,480 uh 214 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:45,600 when they they uh demoed the house, they 215 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,959 abandoned this line. Uh as you see, it 216 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:50,720 cuts across the property, kind of makes 217 00:13:46,959 --> 00:13:52,800 it uh it it makes the property 218 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,480 undevelopable. And so, originally, when 219 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:57,839 we s started talking to this gentleman 220 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:59,839 about this, we asked him to move the uh 221 00:13:57,839 --> 00:14:02,399 new line and new easement along the prop 222 00:13:59,839 --> 00:14:04,480 upper property boundary uh to minimize 223 00:14:02,399 --> 00:14:07,120 impact on the property. Since then, we 224 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,639 we found uh that MUB does have a 8 in 225 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:12,399 water line that runs the the length of 226 00:14:08,639 --> 00:14:14,320 this property. So, uh our interest in 227 00:14:12,399 --> 00:14:17,440 ever developing this property is, you 228 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:19,760 know, uh uh 229 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:25,199 can't nothing can really happen with 230 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:27,760 that. Uh but again, with moving the the 231 00:14:25,199 --> 00:14:30,160 new easement uh across the upward 232 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:33,120 boundary, it does limit uh the impact of 233 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:35,040 Mub's water line. This one crossed their 234 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,959 line and if there was already any issues 235 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:40,560 there could be impact but now we're 236 00:14:36,959 --> 00:14:43,279 trying to move this up north. Um house 237 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:46,480 has been built.

Um 243 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,959 that's all I have. Any questions on 244 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,720 that? 245 00:15:00,959 --> 00:15:03,760 questions for director.
