Re: Air Compressor Shed

NARRATIVE

Benchmade Knife Co plans to remove the existing ‘air compressor shed’ and build a new ‘air compressor shed’ at the same location (West wall) as the existing shed. The shed will be increased in size to accommodate (3) additional air compressors. The so called shed is actually a large steel patio type cover off the concrete tilt up building that will protect the air compressors from the weather. The ‘cover’ will include a steel picket fence with (1) double drive style gate to allow forklift access to the area. The air compressors will sit on the existing concrete/asphalt floor on mounts provided by the air compressor vendor. The structure will have its own lighting and be sprinkled for fire protection. The steel roofing will match the existing roofing used on the loading dock area. The steel framing of the structure will be painted to match the existing tilt up building. The fencing material comes black and will remain black.
