She did not want to be too <br /> onerous on the business to plant trees that may be removed when the site redevelops. She stated <br /> that she would support the use of the containers rather than having the items stored outdoors. <br /> Commissioner Anderson commented that this property can be seen from the entrance ramp onto <br /> Highway 10. He stated that these containers are not aesthetically pleasing. He commented that <br /> he would like to see the business able to function but would like to see the site cleaned up.
