The facility is used primarily for winter road maintenance, with a coverage area for this facility from County Road 15 between Mound and Highway 12, County Road 19 from Orono to Excelsior. 3.The Plaiming Commission reviewed this application and recommended denial of the Zoning Code Amendment to the LR-IC District based on the following: A.
