IT IS APPROXIMATELY 81FT■S, SO A MINOR ADDITION, AS YOU MAY SAY. THE REASON THIS IS HAVING TO COME BEFORE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL WITH AN SUP IS BECAUSE THIS IS CURRENTLY A LEGAL NONCONFORMING USE AND BECAUSE THEY'RE MAKING AN EXPANSION OF THAT USE, IT REQUIRES FOR IT TO COME INTO COMPLIANCE. AND THAT WOULD REQUIRE FOR IT TO OBTAIN AN SUP. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. HERE WE JUST WANTED TO SHOW THE CONCEPT PLAN IN A IN A BIGGER, BIGGER VIEW. AS YOU CAN SEE YELLOW IS EXISTING.
