Justin presented the site plan for Nature Reserve Preservation's move to 2631 Industrial Court, detailing the remodeling of an existing 7,270 sq ft building and construction of a new 7,680 sq ft building for vehicle storage and a shop. The plan included parking expansion, landscaping with 39 shrubs and 4 new bur oak trees, and graywater collection. Holly Burley, representing Baker Foundation Studio, clarified that all proposed parking spots would be striped and explained design adjustments made to minimize tree disturbance and keep the project below an acre of overall site disturbance. Commissioners questioned details about landscape credits, parking striping, and the attachment of the new building.
