Approved 10/10/2016 <br />21 <br />James Bryan: Yes, this is, I think, just another example of just poor draftsmanship in the UDO. This is not a 1 <br />standard from which any Board can say yes or no.

They’re showing existing vegetation, as well as proposed vegetation to augment what’s 7 <br />already on site. The site plan shall indicate a location of at least 2 equipment buildings in addition to that 8 <br />proposed for use by the applicant; I’ll refer you to the original SUP application and the recorded SUP that 9 <br />provides this information. I’ll also tell you that the current site plan that’s submitted shows locations of 10 <br />structures on the property and there are a minimum of 2.
