The original applicant requested approval for the existing two construction trailers to be located on the west parking lot edge adjacent to SH 114 for a 5-year term. Since the September
21, 2017 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, the applicant has amended their application to request a 3-year extension for the existing two construction trailers and that they remain
“as is” in their current location north of the building. The trailers will still maintain the photographic building wraps. The applicant is requesting a continuation of the existing
variance to the required landscaping and the justification for the distance from the edge of the property and due to existing landscaping adjacent to the trailers.

of the existing variance to the required landscaping for the trailer foundation due to the distance from the edge of the property and due to existing heavy landscaping adjacent to the
trailers.
