4 <br /> On January 6, USA Dutch indicated in a telephone conversation <br /> with Planning Staff that they need to pursue at this time <br /> G rezoning of only enough additional area to accommodate a new <br /> septic system. The proposed building expansion is not likely <br /> to occur for at least 2 years, and further expansion of the <br /> zoning lot could be pursued by USA Dutch at that time. <br /> f <br /> E2.
