grading requirements, explained an exception, and reviewed the relevant Conditions of Approval
and Development Standards.

toilets are acceptable for this application.
• Chris McRickard, applicant, reviewed the proposal for a manufactured structure as an office
trailer for field personnel to stop over and do paperwork. He described the site choice due to the
proximity to three (3) pumper routes and that there would be no employees on -site for long periods
of time. Mr. McRickard described the office as a skid mounted trailer and said it would be stocked
with bottled water and have a portable toilet outside. He conveyed the site will be fenced and it
will allow the employees to be more efficient. In response to Commissioner Conway,
Mr. McRickard explained the surrounding vegetation as open range and not really considered
landscaping.

abide by, the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards, and stated no concerns.
el In response to Commissioner Conway, Ms. Aungst explained Condition of Approval,
(COA) #1.A.5, regarding landscaping, as it is a 320 -acre parcel and as a part of USR maps, the
applicant must show existing landscaping or trees. Commissioner Freeman asked whether
landscaping was pertinent because the site is leased. Chair Cozad confirmed it is the general
policy with USR maps to show landscaping and the USR covers the entire parcel. Commissioner
Conway asked for clarification on COA #1.A.7 regarding signage. After further discussion, the
Board opted to delete COA #1.A.5 and amend COA #1.A.7 to add, "if applicable."
