Mr. Williams clarified that the request is for a Variance up to 15 feet, 25 feet is allowed. Color and screening was discussed, as well as signage. No signage is allowed on accessory structures.

There is a 12.5 foot 6. h rence from t eak o proposed manufacturing building to the highest po . the dust co tor. 5. Whip' e are note y characteristics of the land itself that prevent this property from be evelop d with most other industrial uses, strict interpretation of the Ordinance, case, would be impractical because of the pre-manufactured height of a re ' fired unit for a wood-working industrial operation. 6. The deviation from the Ordinance would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Ordinance, which is to limit the general height of structures for aesthetic and fire safety purposes. This property, located in the Business Park, is surrounded by similarly designed principle and accessory structures. 7. The variance, if granted, will not create a land use that is not permitted in the zone. Manufacturing operations are permitted uses in the Light Industrial zone, and were it not for the height of the dust collector, would otherwise be permitted administratively.
