The major requests from the neighbors were the landscaping. The north side of the building will be entirely landscaping as they have requested. The dock area is located on the East Side of the building and will be accessed through the south driveway. The entire site will house new landscaping i.e. rear of site, East Side, West Side, north side and south side. The store will be a left- handed store to buffer the residents from noise.
