Cryogenic Storage Tank Height Variance
Description
A variance request to exceed the 30-foot building height limit for four bulk cryogenic storage tanks (three initially) of approximately 38 feet at an existing manufacturing facility, continued from a previous agenda.
Impact summary
The taller tanks avoid eliminating roughly 50 parking spaces and reduce truck refill traffic; nearby residents will see industrial tanks 200 feet from homes unless landscaping screens them.
