Tom:
I'm approving this variance request 1,670 sf Zone 2 only. The woman said that she
sent you a copy mid April after trying to mail us a copy earlier. She faxed me a
copy today. I reviewed it and it looks fine. I'll send you a copy of the approval.
Don't bother sending us your original if you intended to. Just wanted to give you a
heads up. You gave me one during the stream class that I gave to Mike to enter into
the database. It doesn't appear to be this one.
