C U.S. Highway #1: <br />The County's Thoroughfare Plan designates U.S. Highway #1 as <br />an Urban Principal Arterial with a minimum required right-of- <br />way width of 160'.

Some portions of driveway, parking, <br />stormwater, and landscaping improvements are proposed to be <br />located in the 160' ultimate right-of-way area. However, it <br />should be noted that the currently existing packing house is <br />located within the bounds of the ultimate right-of-way area <br />while the proposed building additions will be located outside <br />the bounds of the ultimate right-of-way area. <br />14.
