Cross access will be provided through both sites. The existing parking located to the rear of the Jack in the Box has been removed, with new parking created to the south of the existing restaurant in the areas that had been the Fuller Drive right of way. The site will provide sixty-three (63) parking spaces for the two restaurants. Landscaping will be installed primarily on the street yard areas facing the Frontage Road and N. Main Street.
