traffic controls will be adequate.
G. Off-street parking and l9oading facilities will be appropriately located and arranged and sufficient to meet traffic anticipated to be generated
by the new use. The establishment of vehicle links between parking areas of adjacent properties are provided where feasible. This furthers
the Town's goal of reducing curb cuts and reducing congestion. A twenty-foot wide connection is required. If adjacent properties are either
undeveloped or previously developed without having made provision for future linkage,then a future connection must be identified and
