explained the dumpster would be surrounded by a CMU wall with metal gates to screen the
dumpster.
Lundquist asked which building side was facing Friendswood Drive. Berkenmeier said the
front of the building faced the parking lot so the back of the building faced Friendswood
Drive. Summers stated the back of the building along Friendswood Drive met the 40%
fenestration requirement.

there was an existing pole and Harbin explained the additional power pole was necessary

underground.
