Proposed:
The current parking area for the commercial lot does not meet code requirements: this development plan
seeks to bring it up to code requirements. The pedestrian connection from Elizabeth down the east side of'
the building was extended to continue all along the building fa4ade. Moving eastward from edge of walk a
24' drive aisle was located as well as parking spaces that utilizes the reduced stall depths of 17'-0" and the
2' overhangs. In order to access the residential lot a 12'-0" drive aisle was also areounted for. The
remaining area of lot width was broken up to provide landscape buffering from the parking lot, drive and
adjacent property. Similarly, the south portion for the parking back up area was divided with the existing
accessory structure which yielded at 3'-0" setback from the south lot line of the commercial lot.
