The applicant will maintain the same architectural character in the building expansion as is in the original, and will be landscaping the added site area so the effect will be one seamless development. A11 areas which are not in building or landscaping will be paved and the parking area will be bordered by a concrete curb. The applicant has provided a revised site plan, landscape plan and building elevations date- stamped 1/9/98, to show how they propose to expand the Saturn dealership. A comparison of the 1996 approved site layout and the proposed site layout is noted below: Site Area Building Area Total Impervious Area Landscaped Area Parking Spaces - display/inventory - employee/service - customer Total Number of Service Bays Car Wash A roved 1996 Pl n 3.276 acres, or 142, 703 sf. 11,080 sf. 109,097 sf. (76.5%) 3 3, 606 sf. (23 . 5%) 126 35 20 181 10 one bay Pro osed 1998 Plan 3,276 acres, or 142, 703 sf. 15, 063 sf. 109,097 sf. (76.5%) 33,606 sf. (23.5%) 121 10 45 176 11 one bay The primary difference between the approved 1996 plans and the proposed 1998 plans is that the building expansion is now located on the east side of the building instead of the west side. The car wash would remain on the west side, however. The proposed expansion is about 33 percent larger than what was approved in 1996, although the amount of impervious surface on the site is not expected to change as a result. There would be a slight reduction in parking provided, dropping from 181 to 176. The only other change from the 1996 plans is the addition of one more service bay, bringing the total number proposed to eleven.
