You parcel number will be identified accordingly. Being exempt from the permit requirement does not exempt you from the standards of the code which protect the neighboring areas from your activities, nor does it exempt you from the code provisions should you change the nature or significantly expand your business. I have enclosed a copy of the standards that apply to your business and highlighted those most relevant. Specifically your business should be sufficiently screened from public view and that the storage of materials shall not constitute a violation of the solid waste code. By virtue of this letter, the hold placed on your application for a scrap metal supplier license, which is a byproduct of your landscaping and handyman business, will be removed. Please do not hesitate to contact this office should you have any questions. Sincerely, , _ g„).______ -'e (:,, ,7.4.;_7(4-7-::--- j___)- David Goldsmith Interim DCD Director.
