The board requested LaVerne & Mark McKane to submit an accurate map indicating the specific location, the boundaries of the proposed junk yard site and the neighboring parcels involved. Norman Stanton, Zoning Officer, stated that there are two other approved junk yards in this same residential vicinity and was of the opinion that this request was not the environment that one would establish in a residential area in long term planning for the future.
