as well as 36 parking spaces. The plan calls for a bus
drop-off area and 12 parking spaces to be constructed

ing and rs
The applicant is proposing to use existing trees and
shrubs as landscaping as well as showing a landscaped
area adjacent to the Phase I construction.
5. Analysis
The Staff feels that the proposed use will be
compatible with the surrounding area (see note #2).
The site plan needs to show more specific information
with regards to parking and building dimensions. The
proposed parking area located to the north should
reflect a minimum of six spaces and a note stating it
to be constructed during Phase III (54 total spaces
would be required). Finally, Phase II and Ill should
reflect the general dimensions of the proposed
structures and their respective setbacks from the
property lines and other buildings.
