Associated cannabis support buildings and infrastructure include: one (1) 24’x48’ (1,152 SF) building used for processing and harvest storage (24’x24’; 576 SF), general storage (12’x24’; 288 SF), and a processing, harvest storage and packaging area (12’x24’; 288 SF); one (1) 12’x32’ (384 SF) building used for agricultural chemical and pesticide storage are with a 4’x4’ (16 SF) administrative hold area; one (1) 15’x15’ (225 SF) cannabis (compost) waste area with a 5’x15’ (75 SF) additional administrative hold area; one (1) 12’x17’ (204 SF) used for immature plant area; the project proposes the addition of two (2) 6’x30’ (360 SF) immature plant areas; one (1) permitted groundwater well 
for agricultural and domestic use; one (1) 2,500-gallon storage water tank; one (1) 3,500-gallon water storage tanks totaling 6,000 gallons of water storage. The direct footprint of the cultivation and infrastructure results in approximately 12,273 SF. A more detailed project description can be found in the attached Appendix C.
