Maxwell Road in March 1999. The property is 25 acres and has several existing structures,

all the existing space and more. The facility requires expansion and new construction to

provided Council with a presentation on the proposed project. He stated he had reviewed all
conditions of approval and needed a sign that would be visible from both sides of the street, as well
as positioned to compete with existing businesses in the area. A monument sign would not be
appropriate due to the lack of visibility.

flowers, would be provided and maintained.

for a way to clean up existing business signs.
