entire east and north property lines, effectively screening the parking areas from <br />• the adjacent homes. The site plan is in compliance with this provision. <br />Subdivision 6 dealing with Landscaping requires that landscaping be provided and <br />maintained on all required front and side yards. <br />This site plan does provide landscaping on all yards, but in a deficient amount in <br />terms of total site area devoted to landscaping (see 9-2.05 above). <br />Subdivision 8 dealing with Lighting, Li htins; Fixtures and Glare will be reviewed as <br />part of the building permit application. <br />Subdivision 9 dealing with Traffic Control requires that the minimum distance for access <br />drives from a corner shall be no closer than twenty (20) feet from intersecting street right <br />of way lines. <br />The site plan indicates that the southernmost driveway will be located 30 feet <br />from the corner, which is in compliance. In addition, the two drives in the rear of <br />the lot are in compliance with code requirements for separation of driveways. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />This site plan represents a good effort to accommodate a new restaurant and parking on <br />• an extremely small corner site with difficult access issues. However, revisions should be <br />considered with a view to creating a development that has a better balance between the <br />size of the building, number of patron seats, and parking/access layout. It appears that a <br />better resolution of these key components in a revised site plan would, nevertheless, <br />require a number of variances to achieve the most workable site plan: <br />a. Landscaping amount <br />b. Lot width <br />c. West side yard <br />d. East side yard <br />e. Lot coverage <br />f. Size of parking spaces <br />g.
