It is a very small building and he · could not imagine what the building would be used for. Groen made a suggestion that the building be located on the Lift One property. Groen asked if there was any possible way that these things be moved to the golf course property. Markalunas felt that these buildings should receive alot of consideration from the committee. Markalunas stated that they would be looking at a large lumber storage shed for the Stoller House property to be a storage container for the w~oden articles that are located on the law~.
