Screening would be necessary if approved. <br /> <br />Planning Manager Miller stated this case is slightly different than the others with the amount of <br />equipment, outside storage and the size of the lot. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued regarding outside storage, screening, and findings of fact. <br /> <br />Commissioner Van Scoy stated he can not see how a construction business can be compatible <br />with a residential neighborhood. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Gladhill explained that the city became aware of this business from a code <br />enforcement complaint.
