The new facility will allow them to discontinue use of a rented facility off site. No expansion of production on site is proposed. Dennis Oian asked if the warehouse will create any hazardous conditions. Mr. Hutfless stated that it would not. c. Public Comments There were no public comments. Chairman Rothermel closed the public hearing at 6:44 PM. d. Question and Answer Rod Rothermel asked if this is considered a non-conforming of zoning? Assistant City Attorney Clark Askins stated that this is not a use variance but rather a special exception request to all for a building expansion with a non-conforming use. Chester Pool asked if the applicant had enough room for the building and if permits would need to be approved. Rod Rothermel said that the size of the lot will dictate the allowable size of the building and that they would need to apply for permit approvals.
