occupying the building. In order to meet their parking demands and landscaping, they have proposed to
move the building further to the west.

be able to meet the required nUniber of plantings in the planting strip, hence the withdrawal. She had
an email from Engineering indicating that the Petitioner was going through the process to get a permit
to encroach within the right-of-way. The Department recommended positive consideration.
