Additionally, there is currently a <br />driveway running through the center of the property to provide a connection between 172nd Avenue and <br />171st Lane. This will be removed and traffic that has previously used this shortcut will need to use other <br />public streets. <br /> <br />The proposed structure will be approximately 20,300 square feet and the site plan shows 18 parking <br />stalls.
