The location of the addition is far removed from view from any of the <br /> surrounding public roadways and will have vittually no visual impacts as viewed <br /> from the adjoining industrial properties. All required yard setbacks will be met. <br /> 3. This addition expands the main building footprint to approximately 202,300 s.f., <br /> or 20.4% of this 990,000 s.f. site. With the additional 7,250 s.f. of existing <br /> accessory buildings on the site, structural coverage is significantly below the 45% <br /> coverage allowed for the site. <br /> 4. The property is in Hardcover Tier 5, which allows a maximum impervious surface <br /> of 85%. The site with the proposed additions will be at approximately 55% <br /> hardcover. <br /> Paae 2 of 4 <br />
