OPEN PORTION 5-minute limit imposed by Chair. Those who wish to speak must first state their name and address. Mr. Marquardt said Bob Stabile from 691 S.O.M. Center Road could not be here tonight and ---? asked me to present an issue to Council on his behalf. This is from a letter from him dated January 21, 2005.

So I can't explain why Dr. Stabile didn't get this until December of 2004. It was toward the end of the month that he called me. We are, in fact, revisiting a number of the pass-through areas in the vicinity especially south -_? of Beta in between Beta and Highland because there are safety aspects as far as crossing points. In the vicinity of Dr. Stabile and Wanda's properties, there is going to be an opening because of the Krenzler property. In 2002 we weren't sure if there would be one there at all or what the
