Mr. Wade Tucker stated he wanted to be able to see and wouldn't be able to if the property was surrounded by a 6-foot fence.

Applicant Ashenberner said that he had already been contacted by DEQ and must.reduce the noise factor by 10 decibels and buffers would have to be in- stalled around a "cyelops" machine; and that his request for the M-2 zone was because it is more restrictive a zoning.
