The minutes of the Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting held

They want to get everything they can under storage, but some
equipment is large and very difficult to store. They would
feel more comfortable with storing some of their things and

want to do that can not fit in a C-l zone but what would fit
in the HC-l zone. They would like a fenced compound to use
for some of their equipment. Other storage facilities have been
