requiring. He prefers the CMU walls for the site because of security reasons.
Bill Schopper ask why metal walls are being used instead of masonry?
Terry Browning said, right now he has containers that are a difficult to operate in and
out of daily. He wants to keep it metal because it cannot be seen from the street.
