Considerations 
The applicant is requesting the approval of a site plan zoning application to expand 
their existing door manufacturing business onto the front 3.40-acres of the 
property. The new 37,500 sq. ft. building will house new office space and 
manufacturing area that will assist in better handling current operations. The 
project will be completed in one phase which includes off-site improvements on 
Butler Drive. These site improvements may potentially create future jobs.
