around in the driveway. Mr. Freedenfeld said yes; he stated that the driveway is just longer now but it is the same width. Mr. Davis said that no large trucks will be coming in the driveway, only small box trucks. He stated that a typical UPS truck will not have a problem turning around in the driveway and that the applicant will direct the hours of deliveries. Mr. Freedenfeld confirmed that statement. Mr. Buechler asked if there are any changes to the interior design of the building. Mr. Freedenfeld said there will not be any other changes; the building will just be slightly smaller. Chairman Neuer asked what the hours of operations would be. Dr. Cappiello approached the podium and stated that her hours will be from 8:30 am to 7:30 pm. Chairman Neuer stated that they are to schedule garbage pickup between the hours of 8pm — 7am. Mr. Freedenfeld continued and began detailing drawing number five of the site plans. He stated that the original plans showed the driveway on the left side and they are moving it to the right side. Mr. Freedenfeld said that they are also moving the building back further. Mr. Freedenfeld stated that, where the dumpster is located now, as you enter the site you are looking directly at it. He said that he wants to change the location of the dumpster, moving it to the other side. Mr. Freedenfeld also said that he would like to “flip the building” so that the entrance to the building is on the other side and the floor plan “flips” with the moving of it. Chairman Neuer stated that if they do that, then they will have to come back with new plans. Dr. Cappiello stated that she does not want to come back so they will leave the plans as is. Mr. Buechler suggested that they install a decorative gate on the enclosed dumpster, Mr. Keller stated that the footprint looks somewhat different and asked Mr. Freedenfeld if it was changed. Mr, Freedenfeld stated that the footprint is the same; they just reduced the lower level. He said that the lower level shows an unfinished basement on the plans that the Board has and now the basement is gone. Mr. Keller stated that the only recent plans he received were the elevations and not the floor plans. Chairman Neuer stated that it is his understanding that floor plans are not part of site plans. He said that site plans do not show the interior of the building and that is not what the Board approves or

Mr. Freedenfeld stated that if there is a problem with this, then they will keep the plans as is. Chairman Neuer stated that they do not need a new plan for that change and the basement will be conditioned to say unfinished. Mr. Buechler said that his notes from the last meeting show that animals will be in the lower level. Mr, Freedenfeld stated that this is a two story building; half will be finished and half will be unfinished in the lower level. He said that the animals will be in cages in the finished part. Chairman Neuer asked Mr. Freedenfeld what will be going on in the unfinished area. Mr. Freedenfeld said that nothing will be going on in that area; they are just going to make it a crawl space. Mr. Buechler stated that there will be no utilization outside for the animals to run around. [6]
