QUESTIONS DISCUSSION
QUESTION: What will happen to the current building you've been in since 1984?
RESPONSE: It is under contract to be sold for office space for a local company that owns boat marinas.
QUESTIONS: How many employees work at the current facility? How many will be employed
at the new facility? About how many employees will the marina company have?
Will there be a net increase in the total number of people working on the two
properties?
RESPONSE: Masco currently has 35 employees working at its current facility and 45 are to be
offzced at the new site. The marina company employs about six (6), so there will be
an increased head count of approximately I5 -20 people on the two sites combined.
QUESTION: What material will be used for the roofing?
RESPONSE: The innermost layer will be 22 -gauge steel ribbed paneling like that of an airline
hanger. The outermost layer will be a regular standing seam metal roof with a dark
gray matte finish. A layer of insulation will be added for energy efficiency.
CONCERN: The use of standing seam metal on such a long roof.
QUESTIONS How will the property have vehicular and pedestrian access?
RESPONSE: The property will have driveway access on to N. Kimball Avenue to the east and
access to the south to E. Highland Street by means of a common access easement
through the property to the south (the current Masco facility). The access to the
south will not be built with the current improvements, and will only be necessitated
by the future street improvements on Kimball Ave. Sidewalks will be placed within
the dedicated Rights -of -Way (R. O. W.) of E. Highland Street and N. Kimball Avenue.
QUESTION: Are the building setbacks on Kimball measured from the current R.O.W. or the
new, proposed R.O.W.?
RESPONSE: Building setbacks along Kimball are measured 30 feet from the new R. 0. W.
DISCUSSION: Future widening and placement of medians on Kimball property will not have
left -turn access from north -bound Kimball.
DISCUSSION: Future development of Gateway Church, traffic in the area and the placement
of Kirkwood Boulevard extension.
QUESTION: Is the property on septic or sewer?
RESPONSE: The property is currently on a septic system, but sewer will be extended to service the site.
QUESTION: How and how often do you dispose of solvents used in your operations?
RESPONSE: They are stored on site until a service comes and collects them. We have only
required the service about once every five years.
