of gas cylinders, merchandise, and to provide a covered
work area.

new building by extending the gravel area to the new
building rather than with solid paving. This would
require a waiver to the ordinance requirement in
Section 36-508 for paving of all areas subject to
wheeled traffic. Staff supports this waiver request
since this area is not for public use, but only for
employees access to the new building.
8. Staff Recommendation:

compliance with Public Works and Fire Department
Comments.
Staff also recommends approval of the waiver of the
requirement for paved access to the new building.

proof of dedication or accomplish the dedication prior to

layout in front parking lot and the revision of new gravel
