OTHER BUSINESS:
Discussion – Revay’s Gardens
Ms. Newton said at the last meeting Revay’s got a variance for the use of a propane filling station. She referred to plans and pointed out that the original location of the filling station that was presented to the board was in front of the parking area, next to the sewer manhole. She said the board expressed concern about this location and asked them to revise the plans and come back the following month. They came back with revised plans that met the approval of the Fire Marshal. The variance was granted based on the revised plans. A zoning permit also was issued based on that location. Ms. Newton said that since then the applicant has asked for a new location. She said she felt that it was essentially the same location as what was originally proposed and she felt that the
board should make the determination. She said the applicant had indicated that the family members wanted this location and they felt that the Fire Marshal would approve this location. After some discussion the board members agreed that they should come back to the board with a new application and a letter from the Fire Marshal stating that he approves this location.
