As an integral part of retooling it's plant,Happy's Potato Chip Co. proposes to erect six bulk storage tanks for raw materials on the southwest side of it's plant on Chandler Drive. Further we propose to raise the roof of part of the building to accommodate transfer equipment for the aforementioned storage tanks. The proposed storage tanks will be epoxy lined, skirted carbon steel tanks. We will need 6 tanks, all 12 feet in diameter. Five tanks will have a total height of 24 feet,while one tank will be 30 feet tall. • The raw materials will be freighted in on semi trailers. For com these will be hopper bottom type,that is unloaded onto a conveyor and elevated into the tank. Cornmeal and popcorn will come in pneumatic type tankers that will blow the product straight into the tank with no contamination of the environment. The tanks will be unloaded with a pneumatic conveying system. The system will be enclosed, and all ventilation to the atmosphere will be filtered. Pneumatic conveying systems are very clean, and we do not expect any contamination of the plant or the environment. The proposed building addition will be to elevate a 21 feet 6 inches by 16 feet section of the existing roof from it's current height to 32 feet above grade level. This is necessitated to accommodate parts of the pneumatic transfer system. This addition also provides an easy access to the current roof and to the top of the storage tanks for maintenance purposes. We hope the planning commission will recommend this proposal, so the necessary permits can be obtained. Sincerely, Lorin Yenor .
