Weinberger stated there <br />is a road easement for Highway 12 along the property. Weinberger stated if the fence is to be <br />relocated, it should be put in at the 75 foot setback, which would bring it 1 5 feet closer to <br />Highway 12. <br />Staff is recommending all parking areas be paved surface rather than grass and gravel. The parking <br />and outside storage areas shall be located a minimui,: of 10 feet from side property tines. <br />Staff is recommending the following conditions be complied with: <br />A.
