The City has been licensing <br />this operation since 1962. <br />The existing 30' x 80 ’ building likewise has existed for many decades. Use of the building in <br />the 1970's and earlier included retail sales and service. By the late 1980's the retail use had <br />ceased, and the building was used for winter service work, storage, and a caretaker apartment <br />existed in the second floor. The building in recent years has been used mainly for storage.
