Shane McDermott, Petitioner, was sworn in by Deanna Buck. The petitioner explained the need for the conditional use permit for an automotive salvage operations is to be able to remove a larger quantity of inoperable vehicles. With the current use, automobiles have to be removed solely with a tow truck. With the new use, the petitioner will be able to scrap inoperable vehicles and remove multiple vehicles from the site at the same time. This will help to reduce the amount of stored inoperable vehicles on site.
