Plans call for adding an approximately 6,000-square-foot pre-engineered metal building to the site. The remaining area would be used for vehicle circulation as well as truck and trailer parking.

An adjustment to zoning code requirements for parking and screening is sought to maintain the current configuration of paving and landscaping and thereby facilitate access by city crew trucks to the pump station.
