ITEM #3:  Frank Giordano – 11998 Trevett Road, Special Use Permit

Acting Chairperson Zybert made sure that the Board all had a copy of the map that Frank
Giordano sent for them. J. Jozwiak said that the measurements were on there, and M.
Cochran agreed that it was what the Board was looking for. He said that he thought that
the Board was still waiting to see what needs to be done with the issues that are existing
with the salt barn that F. Giordano put up on his property. CEO T. Roberts said that was
now an issue with the court, and that the Board could make a decision without the salt
barn issue being resolved with the courts. M. Cochran thinks that the Board is unable to
make any decisions until the court matter is resolved. Acting Chairperson Zybert agreed
with M. Cochran. J. Miller asked F. Giordano for clarification on dimensions on the
drawing that he sent. The Board discussed different measurements and locations of items
on the property, and then they were trying to figure out where a berm needed to be added.
Acting Chairperson Zybert asked Mr. Giordano if he wanted the Special Use Permit to
designate what perimeter he would be able to operate his business on, and he said that he
sent in a drawing previously that indicates where he would like his business operations to
be. Secretary Safford located this drawing and gave copies to the Board members to look
at. M. Cochran wanted to know if F. Giordano was planning to expand in the future, and
how big of a space on the land he would like to use-he currently does not have any plans
to expand. J. Miller feels that if the Board is going to give Mr. Giordano specific
guidelines to follow with this Special Use Permit, they need to give him a deadline to
make sure that what is being asked of him is taken care of. During the discussion of the
location of the salt barn CEO Roberts asked if the front of his F. Giordano’s house is on
Trevett Rd.-it is. Since it is, the salt barn is located on a side property line. That makes
