[1. Section 511.03 (E) Accessory Uses, Use Limitations, of the City of Auburn Zoning Ordinance]
>> YES. >> THANK YOU FOR CORRECTING ME. NEXT.
>> ALRIGHT, THE ONLY ITEM ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT IS A VARIANCE TO ALLOW AN ACCESSORY STRUCTURE TO BE WITHIN 10 FEET OF THE PRINCIPAL STRUCTURE, THIS IS COMING FROM 5113E ACCESSORY USE, USE LIMITS IN THE CITY OF AUBURN ZONING ORDINANCE.
THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 2205 SPRING HILL DRIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD CONSERVATION DISTRICT. THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS A 1.4 ACRE LOT NR THE TWIN CREEKS FOURTH SUBDIVISION AND THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO BUILD A SAUNA, AN ACCESSORY STRUCTURE
THAT ENROACHES ON THE 10 FOOT DISTANCE -- >> MAY I INTERRUPT, OUR SCREENS HERE AREN'T ON. I KNOW SOME OF US HAVE OUR PACKETS, EVERYBODY'S GOOD NOW,
THANK YOU, PROCEED. >> SO, HE'S WANTING TO BUILD A SAUNA THAT ENROACHES ON THE REQUIRED DISTANCE WHICH IS TEN FEET FROM A PRINCIPAL STRUCTURE OF 7 FEET SO HE WANTS THE STRUCTURE TO BE THREE FEET FROM THE HOUSE. THE STATED HARDSHIP IS THE GRAY WATER LEECH FIELD THAT IS PRESENT ON THE PROPERTY. THE AM KAPT DID NOT CREATE THE GRAY WATER LEECH FIELD, I DON'T KNOW IF YOUR SCREENS ARE ON NOW, THE THAT YELLOW DASHED LINE IS THE APPROXIMATE LOCATION OF THE GRAY WATER LEECH FIELD AND WE'RE ABOUT TO HAVE SOME IMAGES OF WHERE THE SAUNA IS GOING TO BE PLACED. THAT'S LOOKED NORTHWEST, THE BOTTOM ONE IS LOOKING NORTHEAST AND THEN THESE ARE LOOKING SOUTH.
THIS IS THE GRAY WATER LEECH FIELD, IT'S OFF OF THE DECK AND OFF THE STEPS AND IF YOU GO BACK TO THIS IMAGE, IT'S LIKELY RIGHT UNDER THAT RAISED GARDEN BED, THE FURTHEST GARDEN BED IN THAT IMAGE. THIS IS -- THIS DOES NOT INHIBIT THE APPLICANT FOR USING REASONABLE USE OF THE LAND, WE LOOKED AT ATTACHMENT -- HE WANTED TO USE THE PREMANUFACTURED SAUNA SO HE COULD ATTACH IT THE WAY IT WOULD BE REQUIRED TO FOR IT TO BE CONSIDERED A PART OF THE HOUSE. THE REAR SETBACK IS 50 FEET FROM THE PROPERTY LINE AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD CONSERVATION ZONING DISTRICT.
THE HOUSE IS CURRENTLY 155 FEET, SO IT'S EITHER ATTACH IT TO THE HOUSE OR MOVE IT BEYOND THE GREAT WATER LEECH FIELD. I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE THEM.
AND I BELIEVE B THE APPLICANT IS ALSO HERE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ASK HIM ANY QUESTIONS.
ER >> YES, I DO HAVE A QUESTION AND YOU MAY JUST HAVE ANSWERED IT IN YOUR LAST STATEMENT. WHEN I'M LOOKING AT THE GRAY WATER LEECH FIELD, CAN YOU MOVE
IT TO THE OTHER SIDE, IS THERE ENOUGH SPACE TO -- >> WELL, THERE WOULD BE ENOUGH SPACE I GUESS IS RELATIVE BECAUSE OF THE CLEARING SO THERE IS ENOUGH SPACE BETWEEN THE HOUSE AND THE REAR PROPERTY LINE BECAUSE THAT IS 155 FEET, BUT I DON'T KNOW --
>> I UNDERSTAND. >> SO, WHO PUT THE GRAY WATER DRAIN IN?
[00:05:01]
>> I'M NOT SURE, THAT WILL BE A QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT, IT WAS NOT THE APPLICANT.
>> OKAY. AND WHAT'S THE PURPOSE OF A GRAY WATER DRAIN?
>> WATER -- I THINK IT'S WATER THAT'S USED -- >> I WAS GOING TO SAY, THE ONE
BZA MEETING, THAT IS LIKE HIS QUESTION. >> SO, WE'LL COME BACK TO THAT
WHEN THE OWNER -- >> OKAY. DID WE HEAR ANYTHING FROM ANY
OF THE NEIGHBORS? >> NO CORRESPONDENCE. >> IS THE GRAY WATER LEECH
FIELD SERVING THE REST OF THE -- >> I BELIEVE SO. >> THE QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT, IT'S ALSO THE APPLICANT MENTIONED, THE SEPTIC TANK IS IN THE FRONT, SEPTIC IS
IN THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE? >> YES. >> OKAY.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONERS FOR ENGINEERING OR PLANNING? OKAY.
THANK YOU. APPLICANT, MR. HANSON, HAVE YOU SIGNED IN?
>> NO. >> WELL, PLEASE DO. >> I GUESS IF YOU WANT TO OVER THE PUBLIC HEARING, HAVE HIM SPEAK OVER THE PUBLIC HEAR SOG HE CAN GIVE WHATEVER PRESENTATION AND SPEAK TO WHATEVER POINTS HE WANTS TO AND YOU CAN ASK HIM QUESTIONS.
>> SO, WE WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ALLOW MR. HANSON TO SPEAK AND PRESENT INFORMATION SO WE COULD THEN HAVE BETTER QUESTIONS TO ASK AFTER HIS PRESENTATION.
>> I DON'T HAVE A SPECIAL PRESENTATION, I INCLUDED A BUNCH OF STUFF.
>> YOU ARE THE SPECIAL PRESENTATION. >> THERE WAS SOME FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS I E-MAILED. AND THEN SOME FOLLOW-ON FIGURES THERE.
THAT LAST ONE DOES CLARIFY WITH THE YELLOW LINE. >> SO, LET ME ADDRESS SOME OF THE QUESTIONS I THOUGHT I HEARD. WE BOUGHT THE LOT BEFORE IT WAS -- IT WAS SUBDIVIDED, WE BOUGHT IT OUT OF A SUBDIVISION, AT THAT TIME, THE SUBDIVISION STILL DOES NOT -- IS NOT ON CITY SEWER, AND IT'S CLAY, IT IS DENSE CLAY, SO THAT PROPERTY DID NOT PERK VERY WELL.
SO, IT WAS -- WE WERE REQUIRED TO HAVE THE SEPTIC FIELD IN THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE AND THEN THE GRAY WATER WHICH IS THE EFFLUENT FROM THE WATCHING MACHINE, EXCUSE ME, GOES TO THE BACKYARD. THAT'S THE ONE THAT WAS BACK THERE.
THE PICTURE THAT YOU SAW WAS FROM 2021 OR SO. WE HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THAT GRAY WATER LINE IN BACK, BASICALLY ROOTERS GOT INTO A JOINT AND PLUGGED IT UP, SO THAT WAS A REPLACEMENT LINE AND A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT LOCATION AND I TOOK SOME PICTURES OF IT.
YEAH. THE REASON -- OKAY. YES, THERE'S ROOM IN THE BACK, MY WIFE DOES NOT WANT TO WANDER INTO THE WOODS TO GO TO THE SAUNA.
THAT'S THE BIG ISSUE. SO, IF WE KEEP IT IN THE CLEARING CLOSE TO THE HOUSE IN THE YARD, THE GRAY WATER LEACH FIELD IS RIGHT THERE, WE'RE GOING TO PUT THE SAUNA ON A A PAD, A CONCRETE PAD ON SOMETHING THAT MIGHT NEED TO BE DUG UP A SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE, IT'S JUST NOT AN ISSUE I WANT TO GET INVOLVED IN AND I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE IMPLICATIONS OF PUTTING THE PAD ON TOP OF THE LEACH FIELD WOULD BE, SO TRYING TO AVOID IT.
>> OKAY. >> IF YOU PUT YOUR SHED ON TOP OF YOUR LEACH FIELD AND IT WENT BACK, CAN THEY PUT A LEACH FIELD IN A DIFFERENT SPOT X OR IS THAT THE LOW SPOT WHERE IT
HAS TO BE? >> THEY HAVE MOVED IT, I MEAN, IT WAS IN A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT LOCATION, THEY GENERALLY -- MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO JUST REDO THE -- IF SOMETHING GOES BAD, THEY DON'T WANT TO REDO THE SAME LOCATION BECAUSE THE CLAY WHERE IT HAS BEEN DOES NOT PERK AS WELL NEW CLAY. IF IT GOES BAD AGAIN, QUITE FRANKLY, I ALSO DON'T THINK YOU CAN GET IT TOO CLOSE TO THE HOUSE, THE LEACH FIELD, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO, FINGERS CROSSED, IT WILL BE SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE AND NOT MINE. BUT THAT WOULD BE A BAD THING IF WE HAD TO REDO THAT LEECH
[00:10:10]
FIELD AGAIN, IN ANTICIPATION, I JUST WANT TO AVOID FUTURE PROBLEMS AS MUCH AS I POSSIBLYCAN. >> HOW MUCH OF THE LEACH FIELD WILL BE COVERED BY THE SHED?
>> OKAY, SO WHEN I SAY LEACH FIELD, YOU SAW THAT ONE PICTURE. >> YEAH, THIS PICTURE?
>> YES, RIGHT, SO THAT'S THE TRENCH THAT THEY DIG AND THAT STUFF THAT'S TO THE RIGHT IS WHAT WE PUT IN, THAT'S WHAT I'M CALMING THE LEACH FIELD. OF COURSE THE WATER GOES IN AND
THE WATER GOES INTO THOSE -- IT'S -- >> YEAH, SO CAN YOU GO BACK TO THAT MAP THAT SHOWS THE BACK OF THE HOUSE. WHERE IS THE SHED GOING TO GO?
>> OKAY. YOU SEE WHERE THE FOUR ARROWS ARE, WHERE THEY'RE COMING FROM
IS THE APPROXIMATE LOCATION OF -- >> THAT TEENY TINY CIRCLE?
>> YEAH, I COULDN'T DRAW VERY WELL ON THAT ONE, IT WAS MINE. THERE'S ALSO A DRAWING -- YEAH, THAT'S ACCURATE, THAT'S -- I MEASURED THAT AND DREW THAT OUT CAREFULLY WITH THE DESIRED
LOCATION OF THE SAUNA. >> WHERE'S THE BEACH -- LEECH FIELD ON THIS DIAGRAM?
>> THAT GRAYISH LINE IS BETWEEN THE SLAB AND THE EDGE OF THE DECK.
THAT IS THE LINE THAT'S ABOUT 3 INCHES DOWN THAT CARRIES THE WATER OUT TO THE LEACH FIELD.
THAT LEECH FIELD PROBABLY SETS A LITTLE BIT FURTHER, I DIDN'T GET THAT ACCURATE.
I REALLY DON'T KNOW. I WOULD GUESS -- OKAY, SO -- YEAH.
>> SO, LOOKING AT THE PICTURE, YOU SAW THE STEPS, AND IT'S -- I'M GUESSING FROM THE PICTURE YOU TAKE THE WIDTH OUT TO THE STEP AND GO THAT DISTANCE AGAIN. IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING STRAIGHT, SO APPROXIMATELY THERE, BUT MY RECOLLECTION IS THAT IT KIND OF BENDS OVER HERE SOME, BUT I DON'T HAVE A PICTURE, IT'S JUST MY RECOLLECTION FROM FOUR YEARS AGO, SO IT COULD BE OFF. BUT THE CLEARED AREA KIND OF GOES AROUND LIKE THIS, SO I'M
NOT CERTAIN, BUT IT *F IT'S APPROXIMATELY THERE. >> AND THE REASON -- YOU JUST LIKE THIS POTABLE UNIT THAT YOU CAN PURCHASE AND YOU DIDN'T TRY TO CONSIDER TO MAKE IT
ATTACHABLE TO THE HOUSE SO YOU DID NOT HAVE TO GET A VARIANCE? >> ATTACHING IT TO THE HOUSE, MY READ TOG THAT IS NOT ONLY DID IT HAVE TO BE ATTACH TODAY THE HOUSE, YOU HAD TO BE ABLE TO WALK FROM ONE PART TO ANOTHER SO WE'RE GOING THROUGH A BRICK WALL, THAT'S NOT AN
OPTION. >> SO THAT'S NOT AN OPTION. >> NOT WITH THE PREFAB --
>> EVEN THOUGH THE NOTES -- >> IT'S JUST -- >> SO, I GUESS KIND OF ON THE FRONT OF THE -- I GUESS ON THE SAUNA STUFF, THOSE ARE DEFINITELY OPTIONS BUT I GUESS THERE ARE COMPANIES THAT DO I GUESS KIND OF LIKE THE WHOLE INSTALL KIND OF LIKE YOU CAN GET LIKE A DECK, SAUNA THING, I SAY THIS BECAUSE THEY'RE POPULAR IN MINNESOTA, YOU GUYS CAN IMAGINE WHY, BUT -- SO I GUESS THAT IS JUST KIND OF -- THERE'S A SPECTRUM AS FAR AS SAUNAS BECAUSE LIKE THE TENT SAUNAS, THERE'S A DIFFERENT HOST OF OPTIONS WHEN IT COMES TO SAUNA RENOVATIONS SO FROM THE ATTACHED, DETACHED, IF YOU WANT TO GO PREFAB, WOOD,
THERE'SING A WHOLE HOST OF OPTIONS. >> OKAY, I JUST ASK THAT QUESTION BECAUSE IT STATED THE STRUCTURE WOULDN'T BE ATTACHED TO THE HOUSE, IT WOULD MEET ALL
THE REQUIREMENTS. >> SO, PRETTY MUCH, I THINK THIS IS KIND OF A CUP OFL THINGS WE TALK ABOUT AT THIS MEETING, THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURES, ACCESSORY STRUCTURES, DETACHED VERSUS ATTACHED HAVE DIFFERENT SETBACK STANDARDS AND WHAT WOULD COMPLY AND WHAT WOULD NOT COMPLY. AN ATTACHED WOULD, AND THE PROBLEM HERE ISN'T NECESSARILY THAT I GUESS LIKE THE SETBACK, IT'S MORE THAT ENCROACHING ON THE SET BACK, THAT'S WHY HE'S ASKING FOR THE VARIANCE OF 7 FEET. THERE IS SPACE BEHIND THE LEECH
FIELD AND ALL THAT OTHER STUFF. >> SO, YEAH, SO WOULD HE HAVE TO TAKE A BRICK DOWN -- WHAT
QUALIFIES AS AN ATTACHED STRUCTURE? >> YES, SO I GUESS IT'S LIKE --
[00:15:09]
THERE MUST BE LIKE A HEATING AND COOLED AREA, YOU COULD DO LIKE A ROOF, HE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET A PREFAB MODEL, MODEL HE'S CHOSEN, YOU CAN'T ATTACH.IT'S THE MODEL HE'S CHOSEN, YOU CAN GO TO PREFAB, OR YOU CAN DO AN ENTIRE RENOVATION WHERE YOU INCORPORATE INTO YOUR HOUSE AND IT WOULD BE A REMODEL IN YOUR HOUSE, KNOCK DOWN A HOME, YADA,
YADA, BUT IT CAN BE DONE. >> IF THIS PREFAB STRUCTURE WAS PUT ON A DECK, WHAT WOULD THAT
RESULT IN? >> IT WOULD PROBABLY END BEING THE SAME THING.
I THINK THE REAL THING ISN'T NECESSARILY THAT LIKE -- I GUESS SO PART OF IT IS IT'S NOT ATTACHED BUT IT BEING ON A DECK WOULD NOT MEET THE GROUNDS OF IT BEING ATTACHED.
PART OF THE PREFAB THING HERE, THEY'RE TRYING TO SITUATE CLOSE TORE THE HOUSE AND IT HAS TO BE
FURTHER FROM THE HOUSE. >> RIGHT, I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION.
SO, THE GRAY LEECH FIELD HAS BEEN MOVED SO IT CAN BE MOVED AND THEN I HEARD THE WORD THEY.
SO, DEFINE THEY, WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS LEECH FIELD(INGER MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IT WAS A REQUIREMENT FROM THE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT AT THE TIME OF CONSTRUCTION, THAT THEY WERE IN CHARGE OF SEPTIC ISSUES. IT MAY HAVE BEEN THE CITY BUT THAT'S WHAT I REMEMBER FROM FOUR YEARS AGO. THE PEOPLE WHO DID IT WAS A
CRACK -- CONTRACTOR WHO DOES SEPTIC FIELD STUFF, SO -- >> I APPRECIATE IT.
>> THE WASHING MACHINE WAS BACKING UP, WE CALLED THEM, THEY FIXED IT.
>> SO, THE ONLY REASON I ASK THAT QUESTION, I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND HARDSHIP AND I SAW
SCOTT WALKING, I WASN'T SURE HOW TO ASK THAT QUESTION. >> WHEN -- YOU THOUGHT ABOUT
ME WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT SEWAGE? >> [LAUGHTER].
>> SO, HEALTH DEPARTMENT REGULATES ANY SEPTIC SYSTEM. WE DO REQUIRE IN OUR PLANS THAT THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY LEECH FIELD IS SHOWN SO THAT THEY DO HAVE A SECONDARY BACKUP SHOULD THE PRIMARY FAIL. WE DO REQUIRE THAT ON BUILDING PLANS BUT WE DO NOT REGULATE AT
ALL. >> SO, LET ME ASK, SO GOING TO THIS LEECH FIELD, SO, AS FAR AS PUTTING A SLAB ON TOP OF THE LEECH FIELD, IN A PROFESSIONAL OPINION, SOMEBODY SAID THAT AIN'T A GOOD IDEA, IT CAN'T BE DONE, IT WILL RESULT IN FUTURE PROBLEMS, WHAT'S THE ISSUE WITH
PUTTING THE SLAB ON TOP OF THE LEECH FIELD? >> I HAVE OBSERVED THE WORK THAT'S DONE FOR REPLACING THE LEECH FIELD WHEN I TOOK THE PHOTOS.
THEY COME IN WITH A BACKHOE AND DIG A TRENCH, IT'S A LOT EASIER TO DIG A TRENCH INTO BARE GROUND INSTEAD OF MOVING AN ACCESSORY STRUCTURE. GET RID OF THE SLAB THAT IT'S
GOING TO BE ON AND THEN TRYING TO DIG THE TRENCH. >> SO, T IT WOULD CREATE A
HARDSHIP IF THE LEECH FIELD HAD TO BE MAINTENANCE? >> INDEAD.
>> I THINK THERE'S MORE TO IT THAN THAT, YOU HAVE WATER FLOWING UNDERGROUND, IT WILL NOT BE ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT ANY TYPE OF STRUCTURE SITTING ON, FROM AN ENGINEERING STANDPOINT, I CAN'T SPEAK TO THE REGULATIONS AND WHAT THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT REQUIRES AS FAR AS STRUCTURES OVER LEECH FIELDS, IT'S NOT? ING THAT I AS AN ENGINEER WOULD
DESIGN FOR. >> I'M NOT GOING TO DO IT. >> PUTTING SOMETHING ON TOP OF
THAT DOES NOT MAKE PRACTICAL SENSE. >> IS IT THE LEECH FIELD WAS 20 FEET AWAY FROM THE HOUSE, THIS WOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE, RIGHT, BECAUSE YOU WOULD BE INSIDE OF
THAT AREA. >> THEN I WOULD BE ABLE TO MOVE IT 10 FEET AWAY.
>> OKAY. >> OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ANY OTHER PUBLIC HEARING SPEAKERS, PRESENTERS? ALRIGHT.
IF THERE'S NOTHING ELSE, WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. AND THEN WE'LL OPEN IT UP FOR
[00:20:01]
BOARD DISCUSSION. ALRIGHT. MORE THOUGHTS?>> I UNDERSTAND THE HARDSHIP. I DON'T THINK IT MAKES PRACTICAL SENSE TO PUT A CONCRETE SLAB OVER -- A FIELD OVER THAT. I ALSO THINK THAT GOING THROUGH THE WOODS O GO TO THE A SAUNA DOESN'T MAKE PRACTICAL SENTENCE AS WELL, EVEN THOUGH THAT'S POSSIBLE. THE USE OF THE LAND DICTATES IT WOULD BE MORE REASONABLE TO PUT
IT TO THE HOUSE EVEN THOUGH IT'S AGAINST THE CODES. >> I WOULD AGREE.
>> SO, MY STRUGGLE IS YOU DONE HAVE TO HAVE A SAUNA, SO THAT'S A THING THAT WE CHOOSE TO GET.
MY STRUGGLE THOUGH IS BECAUSE I DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE COUNTY AND WHY THAT LINE WAS PUT WHERE IT IS, WAS IT NECESSARY, DID SOMEONE JUST MAKE A MISTAKE AND THEN CREATED A HARDSHIP FOR A PROPERTY OWNER. THAT'S KIND OF WHAT MY STRUGGLE IS BECAUSE IF IT'S JUST BECAUSE I WANT TO PUT A SAUNA, THEN TO ME THAT' NOT A HARDSHIP, THAT'S
A WANT. >> IT WOULDN'T BE A HARDSHIP IF THAT LINE WAS RIGHT THERE.
>> THAT'S MY POINT, THAT'S WHY I'M STAINING I'M STRUGGLING, I DON'T KNOW HOW WE GOT TO THIS POINT, I DON'T KNOW WHO MADE THAT DECISION AND WHY WAS IT THERE, COULD IT HAVE BEEN PLACED -- AND THAT'S WHY I ASKED CAN IT BE MOVED. I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO
THOSE QUESTIONS. >> MY ONLY ISSUE, YOU SEE THE HARDSHIP TOO, MY STRUGGLE IS IT COULD TECHNICALLY BE PUT FARTHER AWAY FROM THE HOUSE, NOT THAT IT WOULD BE ENJOYABLE OR PRACTICAL, IT WOULD ALLOW TO THAT. IT WOULD BE TERRIBLE TO RIP UP
YOUR YARD BACK THERE. >> YOU WANT REASONABLE USE OF YOUR YAERSINGER, YOU DON'T WANT TO PARK YOUR CAR IN THE BECOME CORNER BECAUSE IT'S POSSIBLE, IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
>> AND I DON'T KNOW SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS EXAMPLE, TYPICALLY THEY WOULD DO A TEST TO SEE WHAT THE BEST SPOT IS ON THE LAND TO PUT THE LEECH FIELD. ER WEFRJTS DON'T KNOW THE SLOPE
EITHER. >> AND THAT'S WHY I FEEL I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION TO SAY THAT SOMETHING DIFFERENTLY COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO ASSIST WITH THE -- GET
THE MOST REASONABLE USE OF THE LAND. >> THE HARDSHIP WASN'T CREATED
BY THE APPLICANT TOO THOUGH. >> CORRECT. >> I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO PASS BZ
-2026-001. >> SECOND. >> WILL FAULKNER?
>> YES. >> LATICIA SMITH? >> YES.
>> ELIZABETH STRANE? >> YES. >> MALCOLM DAILEY?
>> YES. >> IT PASSED. ALRIGHT.
CONGRATULATIONS, MR. HANSON. >> THANK YOU. >> I HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR SAUNA.
IS THERE ANY OTHER BUSINESS? >> NO, NOTHING. >> OKAY.
