delineated with a barrier to restrict traffic.
2. The greenhouse/garden center be maintained free of debris and kept in an orderly
condition.
3. The location of the greenhouse is consistent with the submitted site plan.
4. The greenhouse and display area be removed within one week of the end of the sales
