Mono Council heard two different Site Plan Agreement Exemption requests last week.
The first is from 10&10 Garden Centre, 634026 Hwy. 10, asking to be allowed to erect a shade structure at the South end of their green houses.
This is to function in conjunction with their greenhouses and will provide shade for the plants not in the greenhouses.
It will appear to the public as being similar to what is often seen in Grocery store or hardware store parking lots in springtime. It will be made from a series of galvanized metal frames and draped with a fire rated cloth to provide the plants with shade from the sun.
