The site is located next to a street right-of- way that the City is considering vacating as it will not be used for roadway purposes in the foreseeable future. In addition to the proposed construction, Boe Ornamental is interested in constructing an office, warehouse and manufacturing rental building on the adjacent property. She stated the Council will be asked to review that submittal in the near future.
