Summary:
The applicant is requesting a Minor Site Plan approval to remove the previously proposed and approved construction of a new vehicular and pedestrian accesses from Andrews Avenue to the property.
A new pedestrian access walk has been added at the north side of the existing office building, located at the northwest corner of the site.
Also, a 18,400 Sf. outdoor storage (as accessory use) at the west side of the building will be maintained, making necessary the relocation of 15 parking spaces to the north of the property. The plan includes also the addition of another paved storage area west of the connector driveway. NO square footage area of the added outdoor storage has been provided.
The paver driveway was modified to make it a minimum 24 foot wide, two-way
