The first silo contains an array of material blending
equipment. This silo is proposed to stand 62.5 feet tall

is for the storage of the blended material. This silo will
stand 80.5 feet tall and will have a base diameter of 12
feet.

Item NO.- 6(Cont .)
The overall height of the plant itself will exceed 30 feet.
The proposed plant is located on a 21.5± acre site. The
silos are approximately 100 feet from the property line
adjacent to Frazier Pike which has a 120 foot wide right-of-
way.
Staff believes the applicant has presented adequate
justification for the height of the silos. The increased
height of these two silos should have no impact on any of
the adjacent industrial properties.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested height variance
for the two proposed silos.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: (JIINE 26, 1995)
Jimmy Alessi was present representing the application. There was
one person present desiring more information on the proposal.
Staff presented the item and a recommendation of approval.
Mr. Alessi offered no comment at that point.
In response to a question from Mark Alderfer, Mr. Alessi
explained the function of and need for the two silos. He stated
that the height of the silos was necessary for operation of the
facility.
Walter Isgrig, a neighboring property owner, asked how far the
silos would be located from the road. Mr. Alessi showed Mr.
Isgrig a copy of the site plan and pointed out the location of
the proposed silos. After viewing the site plan, Mr. Isgrig
stated that he had no objection.
A motion was made to approve the requested height variance. The
motion was approved by a vote of 6 ayes, 0 noes and 3 absent.
