According to the Jackson City Chronicle, the structure will stand to a height of 105 ft., which is higher than the maximum structure height of 45 ft. allowed by the Jackson County zoning ordinance. The new structure will be nearly identical to the current sand screener and storage structure that received its own zoning variance in 2012.

There will also be an additional wash sand pile that will be added to feed the drying structure.
