The complaint filed with the Planning Department last year came from a neighbor and was related to our storage of derelict equipment on site. The complaint was fully justified, and we corrected the situation immediately. I apologize for not having removed the equipment sooner. They were stored on the property to be removed by a salvage operator. But due to the falling price and scrap market, the scrap dealer did not remove them in a timely manner.

But, certainly, the bulk of the business would happen within this time frame. I’m just admitting to the fact that the business periodically will come in to pick up a vehicle or drop one off that has to be delivered after five. So it is just a pick- up and drop-off business. It’s not an on-going activity. So that’s a constraint that perhaps more of a detail than anything else -.
