Clark noted that drainage calculations have been submitted to the town, changes have been made to the location of buildings and parking to satisfy zoning requirements, creation of a 10’ landscaped buffer along Rayber Road, delineating parking with wheel stops, and timed nighttime lighting on the building. Clark indicated that the location and size of the proposed sign will be determined at a later date and will meet the town’s requirements.

the use of a paved apron and land sloping onto the property to avoid runoff onto the road.
