'Fhe Dickey property is currently being considered for suWivisitin and property is no longer being otfered to Mr. Guenthner for planting of crops. The structure is proposed at 14 ’ x 60 ’ and at a maximum 10 height and shall be constructed as previously approved of 6mm poly material tacked to wooden perlon structure. As before, the structure must satisfy the building code standards for a temporarv' greenhouse. Applicant proposes the planting of approximately a 3.5 acre field.

Although the conditional use permit application notes only the use of the Hallson property, Mr. Guenthner has advised in a recent phone conversation that he may use a small portion of the Suess property on the west side. Staff advised the applicant of the limiiation.s now on the use of the Suess property because this property is currently under subdivision review. Septic testing has been completed for all proposed lots. If Planning Commission members can recall, original septic testing completed for proposed Lot 3 was negated because ot trucks driving over septic area.
