| | 3. PER THE TRAFFIC STUDY, THE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS NEAR |
| | THE SITE ARE EXPECTED TO SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT VEHICULAR |
| | ACCESS. THE WESTBOUND QUEUE AT BANYAN/TAMARIND IS |
| | EXPECTED TO BE OVER 2,000 FEET DURING WEEKDAY PM PEAK |
| | HOUR. INBOUND AND OUTBOUND LEFT-TURNING VEHICLES COULD |
| | RESULT IN POTENTIAL SAFETY CONCERN TO ROAD USERS. A |
| | MEDIAN ISLAND IS BEING CONSIDERED AS PART OF THE BANYAN |
| | BOULEVARD IMPROVEMENT. |

| | BANYAN BLVD IMPROVEMENTS AND INCORPORATE THEIR MEDIAN |
| | ISLAND DESIGN IN THE SITE PLAN |

| | WHICH IS 37 SPACES OVER THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT OF 42. |
