If the expansion took place on the southeast side of the <br />building, it would be necessary to blacktop a portion of the <br />hill." <br />Bellows asked whether it would be possible to locate the <br />addition further north on the east side of the building. <br />Mr. Fuller stated that there are utility issues along the <br />east side of the building.
