The proposed storage will not have any impact on the normal and ordinary development of surrounding properties; 4. The subject site is adequately served by municipal utilities and infrastructure; 5.

All lighting shall be directed downward and installed so as to prevent direct light from being detectable at the lot line; lighting is also not to shine directly into the public right-of-way. 6.
