B from 8,500 sq. ft. to 6,673 sq. ft.; and the new drive-thru service lane for a proposed end-cap user, can be considered a reasonable and supportable improvement on this pad site, contingent upon the full acceptance by city staff of the new drive-thru service lane. d) The replatting of the lots comprehended under Shingle Creek Crossing 5th Addition, and as noted on these updated PUD Plans appear to be a reasonable realignment of lot boundaries and building pad sites.
