The Planning Board approved the site plan upon determining that the aspects of 350-11.6 had been met: A. The requested use protects adjoining premises against seriously detrimental uses. The amendment is for expansion of the allowed industrial use B. The requested use will promote the convenience and safety of vehicular and pedestrian movement within the site and on adjacent streets, this shall include considering the location of driveway openings in relation to traffic and adjacent streets, cross-access easements to abutting parcels, access by public safety vehicles, the arrangement of parking and loading spaces, connections to existing transit or likely future transit routes, and provisions for persons with disabilities; The existing sidewalk from the building to the street will be reconstructed and meet ADA requirements. Pedestrian access from the new parking lot to the building as designed. C. The site will function harmoniously in relation to other structures and open spaces to the natural landscape, existing buildings and other community assets in the area as it relates to landscaping, drainage, sight lines, building orientation, massing, egress, and setbacks. The building addition is slightly larger than previously approved, but will be in the same general location as previously planned. D.
