 ALL TRAVEL LANES SHALL BE A MINIMUM OF 11 FEET WIDE.
  
 THE DRIVEWAY WIDTH SHALL NOT EXCEED 40 FEET.
 ADDITIONALLY, THE CURRENT CONFIGURATION FOR THE THE
 DRIVEWAY DOES NOT WORK. A TEST OF THE TURNING RADIUS
 FOR LARGE VEHICLES INDICATES THAT TRACTOR TRAILERS OR
 OTHER LARGE VEHICLES OF THIS NATURE WILL GREATLY
 ENCROACH ON THE OUTBOUND LANE AS THE VEHICLE TURNS INTO
 THE PROPERTY. IT IS STRONGLY ADVISED THAT THE OUTBOUND
 LANE BE SEPARATED FROM THE INBOUND LANE IN ORDER TO
 AVOID COLLISION OR AN EXCESSIVELY LONG QUEUE ALONG
 AUSTRALIAN AVENUE WHEN A LARGE VEHICLE IS FORCED TO
 WAIT FOR THE OUTBOUND LANE TO CLEAR. FURTHERMORE, LARGE
 VEHICLES MAKING A LEFT TURN ONTO AUSTRALIAN AVENUE WILL
 BLOCK ALL NORTHBOUND TRAFFIC IN CIRCUMSTANCES WHEN THEY
 ARE REQUIRED TO YIELD OR STOP FOR SOUTHBOUND TRAFFIC
 SINCE THERE IS NO LIGHT TO REGULATE THE TRAFFIC FLOW.
 IT IS STRONGLY SUGGESTED THAT THE DESIGN OF THE MEDIAN
 BE RECONSIDERED TO PROVIDE A SAFE TRAFFIC SITUATION
 ALONG AUSTRALIAN.
  
 BOTH THE PLAN, SHEET C6.1 OF THE PERMIT SET, AND AERIAL
 PHOTOS INDICATE THAT THE PROPOSED PARKING AREA HAS MORE
 THAN ONE ROW OF PARKING. PLEASE PROVIDE A REVISED PLAN
 SHOWING THE ADDITIONAL PARKING STALLS FOR ALL ROWS. THE
 AISLE WIDTH FOR TWO-WAY TRAVEL IS 24 FEET.
  
 IN ACCORDANCE WITH SEC. 94-485 (E):
 SURFACING OF PARKING AND LOADING SPACES. PRIOR TO
 ISSUANCE OF A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY, ALL PARKING AND
 LOADING SPACES, ACCESS DRIVES, AND MANEUVERING LANES
 SHALL BE PAVED WITH A NONDUSTING SURFACE IN COMPLIANCE
 WITH STANDARDS SPECIFIED BY THE CITY. THE PLANNING
 DIRECTOR, IN COORDINATION WITH THE CITY'S ENGINEERS,
 MAY APPROVE TYPES OF PAVING NOT SPECIFIED UPON A
 FINDING THAT SUCH OTHER TYPES ARE EQUIVALENT IN
 APPEARANCE AND DURABILITY. PARKING SURFACES SHALL BE
 MAINTAINED FREE OF ALL WEEDS, GRASS, DUST, AND
 ACCUMULATED TRASH.
  
  
 ADDITIONALLY, ALL VEHICULAR USE AREAS MUST BE SCREENED
 IN ACCORDANCE WITH SEC. 94-443 CITED BELOW. PLEASE
 PROVIDE A REVISED LANDSCAPE PLAN SHOWING THE ADDITION
 OF THE REQUIRED BUFFER.
  
  
 BUFFERING OF NONRESIDENTIAL USES ADJACENT TO A PUBLIC
 THOROUGHFARE AND NONRESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT. THE
 OWNER OF PROPERTY USED FOR NONRESIDENTIAL PURPOSES
 SHALL INSTALL AND MAINTAIN A LANDSCAPED BUFFER STRIP
 ALONG THE ENTIRE EDGE OF PROPERTY ADJACENT TO A PUBLIC
 THOROUGHFARE AND OTHER NONRESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICTS.
 THE BUFFER STRIP SHALL BE DESIGNED AND LANDSCAPED AS
 FOLLOWS:
  
 (1)FOR INDUSTRIAL USES AND USES IN INDUSTRIAL
 DISTRICTS, THE BUFFER STRIP SHALL BE AT LEAST TEN FEET
 WIDE ALONG THE EDGE OF PROPERTY WHEN ADJACENT TO A
 PUBLIC THOROUGHFARE AND AT LEAST FIVE FEET WIDE ALONG
 THE EDGE OF PROPERTY WHEN ADJACENT TO NONRESIDENTIAL
 ZONING DISTRICTS. FOR ALL OTHER NONRESIDENTIAL USES,
 THE BUFFER STRIP SHALL BE AT LEAST FIVE FEET WIDE ALONG
 THE ENTIRE EDGE OF PROPERTY WHEN ADJACENT TO A PUBLIC
 THOROUGHFARE, AND WHEN ADJACENT TO NONRESIDENTIAL
 ZONING DISTRICTS.
  
 (2)THE BUFFER STRIP MAY NOT BE INTERRUPTED BY MORE THAN
 25 PERCENT OF ITS REQUIRED LENGTH TO PROVIDE FOR SIGNS
 OR VEHICULAR INGRESS AND EGRESS. THIS PROVISION MAY BE
 WAIVED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING ADMINISTRATOR TO
 ACCOMMODATE NORMAL VEHICULAR INGRESS AND EGRESS FOR
 PROPERTIES POSSESSING LESS THAN 100 FEET OF FRONTAGE
 ALONG A THOROUGHFARE. HOWEVER, NOT MORE THAN 50 PERCENT
 OF THIS REQUIREMENT MAY BE WAIVED.
  
 (3)TREES, SHRUBS, GRASS, GROUND COVER, OR OTHER
 SUITABLE LIVE PLANT MATERIAL SHALL BE PLANTED OVER THE
 ENTIRE BUFFER STRIP AREA. HOWEVER, PAVING MAY BE USED
 IN AREAS OF INTENSIVE PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION.
  
 (4)AT LEAST ONE SHADE OR FLOWERING TREE SHALL BE
 PLANTED IN A REQUIRED BUFFER STRIP FOR EACH 30 LINEAR
 FEET OR PORTION THEREOF. PAVED AREAS USED FOR
 PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION AND VEHICULAR ACCESS SHALL BE
 INCLUDED WHEN CALCULATING THE LENGTH OF THE BUFFER
 STRIP. TREES MAY BE CLUSTERED OR PLANTED IRREGULARLY AS
 DEEMED APPROPRIATE. CLUSTERING OF REQUIRED TREES SHALL
 BE SUBJECT TO CITY APPROVAL.
  
 (5)TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF REQUIRED PLANT MATERIAL,
 THE REQUIRED BUFFER STRIP LENGTH SHALL BE MEASURED
 ALONG THE CENTERLINE OF THE BUFFER.
  
 (C) SCREENING AND LANDSCAPING FOR VEHICULAR USE AREAS.
 THE OWNER OF PROPERTY THAT CONTAINS VEHICULAR USE AREAS

 DECORATIVE MASONRY, OR COMPARABLY DURABLE WOOD OR METAL
 WALL AROUND THE PERIPHERY. THE SCREEN DOES NOT INCLUDE
 METAL OR WOOD SLATS IN CHAINLINK FENCES. THE WALL MAY
 NOT BE INTERRUPTED ALONG MORE THAN 20 PERCENT OF
 REQUIRED LENGTH TO PROVIDE VEHICULAR INGRESS AND
 EGRESS; HOWEVER, THIS PROVISION MAY BE WAIVED TO
 ACCOMMODATE NORMAL VEHICULAR INGRESS AND EGRESS FOR
 PROPERTIES POSSESSING MINIMAL FRONTAGE.
  
 (2)A LANDSCAPED BUFFER: VEHICULAR USE AREAS SHALL BE
 SCREENED FROM THOROUGHFARES AND RESIDENTIAL USES AND
 DISTRICTS BY A LANDSCAPE BUFFER OF AT LEAST FIVE FEET
 IN WIDTH. HEDGES SHALL BE PLANTED WITHIN THE LANDSCAPE
 BUFFER AND ARE SUBJECT TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF
 SUBSECTION 94-445(4)E. SHADE TREES MUST BE PLANTED AT
 30-FOOT INTERVALS. THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS SECTION
