  there will be a gate on the south side of that property up to the People Inc. site so
  that no one can drive into that area.

In response to a question from Chairman Ziarnowski, Mr. Dobson stated that he has not
  contacted the people who live in the home northeast of the site, but he plans on
  doing that.

Mr. Dobson described the types and sizes of trucks that would be stored in the storage
  yard.

Chairman Ziarnowski made a motion, seconded by Mr. Stisser, to recommend that the
Town Board approve the submitted Site Plan for a storage yard and fencing with the
stipulation that there is to be no lighting and no change in grading, and that the
applicant will request Site Plan Approval of the building at the appropriate time. All
members noted in favor of the motion.

Board members discussed what type of buffering is most appropriate along the site’s
northeast property line and recommended either slats in the fence or pine trees.
