  Chairman Edbauer said that there has been some back and forth about the site
plan sketch that Mr. Giordano submitted. There was only one dimension on it. Mr.
Giordano stated that there is three feet of snow on the ground. Chairman Edbauer told
him that the Board is looking for some dimensions so that they can understand where the
operation is happening. Mr. Giordano said that the Board previously asked him to do a

him for a drawing with dimensions on it. J. Miller said that a site plan would be perfect,

property he wants to use, is he planning on expanding at any point. J. Jozwiak told Mr.
Giordano that he needs to plot out his property. No one on the Board is saying no to him
at this time, except for on the rezoning matter. Mr. Giordano questioned how he was
going to get those dimensions when there is that much snow. J. Jozwiak stated that if he
