Staff Comments
• Location-The project site is at 900 State Route 9 known as Pizzeria Uno Restaurant.
• Arrangement- The site parking is being altered on the south side to allow for additional parking and
alignment of the drive aisle access with the traffic light.
• Site Design- The plans show the parking and new curb island on the south side of the site. The new parking
includes 15 new spaces, a new island for the existing light pole and a new area for a dumpster. The project
includes an interconnect and access to 8 parking spaces on the adjoining property to the south.
• Building—No changes to the building are proposed
• Signage-No changes to signage are proposed.
• Site conditions-The site permeability is 26.2% where the new parking would further decrease the site to
17.3% where a 30% site permeability is required.
• Traffic- The plans show the new interconnect and site parking alignment adjustment -to align with the
traffic light. The existing restaurant requires 65 parking spaces, the existing parking is 104 and will be

will need to be on the plans. A copy of the easement needs to be provided for the file when executed
