The steel canopies will be approximately twelve feet in height at the lowest point and fifteen feet high at the highest point. The canopies will be supported by centrally located steel columns and will have concrete pier foundations of spread footings of varying dimensions.
Approximately two trees within the area of the proposed canopies will be removed to facilitate the installation of the canopies.
