The area to be used for the propane distribution is estimated to be between '/z and 3/a of an
acre and located in an already developed portion of the site with grading, parking, and
circulation already in place. No additional site disturbance is anticipated. This portion of
the site is represented to have been utilized for a propane storage facility in the past. More
specifics on the site plan are to be determined. The facility will include a 30,000 gallon
propane tank, facilities for distribution, delivery truck parking and circulation, fencing (as
required by state permitting), protection for the tank and possibly an office building.
Potential expansion of the facility such as adding more storage capacity or additional tanks
