recommendation on page 3 of the Staff Report which states, "the
impact could be partially ameliorated by establishing a standard

~venue frontage. This would leave 4.5 ft. of right-of-way behind
the sidewalk which could be planted in conjunction with the 1 ft.
strip on the applicant's property -- resulting in a landscape
screen with a total depth of 5.5 ft. The landscaping coupled with
a 3 ft. high decorative wall would offer a better solution than
surrently proposed by the applicant's design, although it would
result in a jog in the sidewalk."
