Chris Salomone gave the staff report, stating this item had been continued from December to January and then was continued until April, to give the applicant time to clean up the area.

This trailer/mobile home is on the railroad right-of-way and has a 30-day termination of lease. Nothing is eminent to be built there except a storm drain and an access road.
