feet variance was what this board should be concerned about. The Zoning
Commission approved Stage 2 and the Deerfield Township Trustees approved Stage 3

zonings of the Carstar lots on the map to help the board better understand the
case. Mike Kean was concerned about the additional paved area and the storm
