To ensure any concerns for public health and groundwater contamination are addressed, staff have
<br />included conditions requiring compliance with all state and local standards related to stormwater
<br />management. Additionally, to minimize visibility from surrounding properties, potentially impacting the
<br />use and enjoyment of those parcels, staff recommends the existing fencing along the railroad tracks and
<br />Jarvis Street have opaque screening incorporated into it. It is understood that semi-trailers and taller box
<br />vehicles will still be visible.
