Mr. Krawitz stated he has committed to be with the neighbors when any additional trees are placed. They also would commit to looking at converting about 2200 square feet from restaurant to retail space, to meet the parking requirements. Mr. Krawitz stated the developer would be willing to hire a private third party traffic engineer to produce a parking analysis.
