Keis stated that he, too, was <br />uncomfortable with the concept presented indicating that there are too <br />many unanswered questions. Keis noted that the City's goal has been to <br />get away from outdoor storage uses, and Johnson is seeking 2 acres of <br />outdoor storage. Keis also felt that the site layout does not appear to work <br />well and he has questions about hove the outdoor storage would be <br />screened. <br />Wojcik felt that retaining the canopies flies in the Pace of the City's goal to <br />clean up the site and eliminate outdoor storage. <br />9- <br />
