actually help to buffer the noise. Thus, the neighboring property
owners at Rosemont will have to put up with the noise problems for a
longer period of time if the extension is granted. And that the Order
incorporate the following actions that can be taken to make the
extension approvable - develop noise buffering requirements at the time
the master plan is amended to incorporate the Army Corps of Engineers
permit for wetlands mitigation, excluding buildings # 907 and 910 on
the southside, with a condition loading docks be oriented away from

master plan is amended to deal with noise buffering. Discussion ensued.
