The observed weekday PM peak hour has 48 vehicles entering and 77 exiting the premises, with an average wait time of 2:12 minutes. C Concerning screening of headlights, the City Code would require that this site screen vehicle headlights utilizing berming, landscaping and fencing or a mixture thereof. The City Planner is well aware of potential impacts that vehicle headlights can impose of adjacent residences and has been in discussions with �t� Kimco Realty's consultant on a plan that addressed this item.
