Meeting Summary
Variance Request for Equipment Screening at 1350 Northmeadow Parkway

The company, which specializes in jet engine assembly and testing, previously received a variance for two exhaust stacks and now seeks approval for two more, which would be 38 feet high with 16 feet of screening, leaving 22 feet visible from Hembree Parkway.
