If it was removed there would be more room for landscaping. <br />Weinberger stated the road was included for the safety of residents using the parking lot <br />in front of the building. Gaffron stated that about half of the office building traffic would <br />enter the office lot by the service road from Brown Road because only west bound traffic <br />on Highway 12 can access the office lot's direct entrance. Mr. Dunbar stated that all of <br />the residents would have underground parking. Primarily visitors would use the lot in <br />front of the building, mostly in the afternoon and on weekends. The S -curve in the <br />parking lot would help to slow traffic. <br />E <br />
