plants and size are mentioned, however, not how many plants of each will be used.

every 2.5' apart to cover the 40' area. Mr. Olsen requested the use of "rock" in place of
grass as indicated in the landscape plan.

planted every 2.5' apart, and that "rock" instead of grass will be used. Upon a vote being
called, the motion was approved.

Industrial Park. (PC #397 A-99).

. Rent-A-Car, however, they have decided to add another building. Because the change
isn't minor, it has been brought forward for approval. The signage, parking and
landscape information is shown as previously approved. The addition of the car wash
toward the back of the building is the new addition, and follows all City requirements.
David Richmond stated that the site plan is pretty straightforward, and very well
presented.
