site plan. That applicant has revised their site plan accordingly. The revised plan has five
display pads instead of seven. The existing landscaped areas will remain. The pads will be

landscaping is also proposed around the building

3. Comply with State of Minnesota licensing requirements.
4. The pads shall be setback a minimum of 20 feet from the property lines.

6. The front of the pads shall be landscaped.
7. The area behind the pads that will be used for access shall be surfaced with a material

any of the evergreen trees south of the building be removed, they shall also be
replaced.
