location in this region for a CVS Pharmacy. This plan is less than four acres in
size and the building does not conform to articulation nor meet 10Q% masonry

Precinct Line. Engineering requested a Traffic Impact Analysis and the resulting
study showed an additional point does not have an impact provided that a right
hand deceleration lane is provided to site.

Line Road.
