21. That the Permittee is using Clear Span construction for the indoor riding arenas to eliminate <br />any need for supporting posts to ensure clear and safe riding areas for horses, as well as to <br />allow penetration of natural light and warmth, creating a healthier environment for the <br />horses and riders. <br />22. That due to the construction design and width of the indoor riding arenas, it forces the need <br />for a higher ridge and greater roof slope to satisfy snow load requirements. <br />23. That sidewall height needs to be at least thirteen (13) feet to allow for proper head clearance <br />for indoor equestrian jumping. <br />24.
