Derek Vander Ploeg, architect for the project, presented the application to the Board,

Dawson noted that the Board of Adjustment had granted a height variance in May.

cooling system on the roof top, noting that these units will be shielded so that the roof top

are pleased with the design of the building, and support its construction.
