Commissioner Klahn asked what the hours of operation that they will be working in the storage area, and what the impacts to the neighborhood will be. Mr. Raisch stated that hours of operation would basically be 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Ken has made a recommendation that nothing be stored there that is higher than the screening so that nobody will have to see it.
