While the auto body outdoor storage (northwest corner of site) area will remain unchanged, the landscaping outdoor storage area will be modified to incorporate an additional use of an industrial supplier. The industrial supplier typically serves as a supplies wholesaler to municipalities (paper towels, 1:\08 files\08 cup's\h & m commercial properties\pc report. doc 2 soaps, safety vests, etc). Collectively, the landscaper and industrial supplier businesses make up the H & M Commercial Properties LLC.

The site plan indicates 24,989 sq ft will be used for outdoor storage. The outdoor storage area is required to have 2 parking spaces for this use. The original site plan shows 33 parking spaces for the site (excluding the parking within the auto body repair outdoor storage area).
