The residents indicated that the truss plant is not a compatible use for the area. The applicant asked the residents what problems they foresaw and what he could do to address those problems. Possible solutions discussed to alleviate those problems were to have the operation take place in a building, and to limit the hours of operation. The applicant made no specific commitments to reduce the impact of the plant by erecting a building or by limiting hours of operation.
