fenced in area and the existing 14 foot wooden fence will screen all of the proposed improvements.

covered outdoor storage areas are in the rear of the fenced in area.The new heated storage area will be
8,127 square feet and the new exterior warehouse will be 10,642 square feet.
Signage
Additional signage is not required for this project,and all existing signage will remain.
Parking
The proposal increases the amount of warehouse and storage space,but the increase in space does not
