As a Conditional Use Permit is not a building permit, all necessary permits must <br />be acquired before any work begins. <br />2. Remove outdoor storage area identified on the site plan. <br />3. Pave the trailer parking area east of the facility with bituminous pavement. <br />4.

Also, the <br />amendment would eliminate the size requirement for compliance with minimum setbacks <br />and specific material standards and include all accessory structures. He noted that the <br />building official is interested in adding a land use application to inspect all accessory <br />structures, even if less than 200 sq. ft. <br />
