a) The requested variances would allow for a more efficient layout of the
parking stalls while preserving the existing landscaping and green -space
located at the front entrance to the building along Xenium Lane.

on three sides by a public street. Most properties have frontage on one or
two strrea% but very few lots have frontage on more than two streets.
c) The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare
or other land because the parking would be setback a safe distance from
the public right-of-ways, and the necessary storm water improvements
would be provided to adequately address surface drainage.
