25. Okay. He he was approved in March of last year under the old codes that set up were 25 foot setbacks. In April, I think it was. Yes. April, the county commission adopted the 50 foot setbacks on the property lines.

7:12 – 7:520

And what does Kevin and Sue have to do with this? donating is 1.2 acres behind us, which would be this, right? Because they're running out of space at the cemetery. Uh, so that'll give them probably. And how do you get into the cemetery? You're coming up road. Okay. Okay. Cemetery. So essentially, you're breaking that off for a larger lot for the cemetery.

8:00 – 8:430
