Potentially applicable parking standards are: Office: 1 for each 250 feet of gross floor area.

Five 8-foot Colorado Spruce, five 8-foot Black Hills Spruce, and 3 Harvest Gold Crabapplc trees are proposed as screening along the east property line, While the above does provide a high level of screening, the neighborhood business district also requires that 30 foot buffer yards be maintained adjacent to all residential uses "such that \\Earth\Planning\Planning Cases\2004\04-06 MSP Master and Final PUD fOf Cleveland and County Road D (PENDIN"G)\03-03-04 PC Report MSP.doc Page 7 of 10
