with the property owner to purchase the property. He further stated there are two facilities on the
site, he will not live there, and he understands that although he may buy 10 additional acres for
expansion, the area may not be granted as an amendment to this permit.

stated he has reviewed and agrees with the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards.

removing Development Standard#12 and inserting it as a Condition of Approval, he feels it would
be better to also keep it as a Development Standard so that the requirement is in place for future
expansion. He concurred with Chair Kirkmeyer that Condition of Approval #2.G should be
amended to indicate the Waste Handling Plan is tc be reviewed and approved by the Health
Department.
