A 690 square foot area of the second floor of the barn will continue to be used as a private office for the owner, and an adjacent 85 square foot area will be a bathroom. Project construction activities include the construction of a 2,000+/- foot-long new access road leading from D Street to the agricultural barn and 90 parking spaces in mowed and gravel areas with 10 new paved parking spaces including five ADA parking spaces near the barn site.
