30’ wide at 83rd Ave. This driveway width may then taper for
a distance of 20 feet to become a 23-foot wide 2-way drive
aisle to serve the developments within the lot.
4. The City of Glendale will be reconstructing 83rd Ave at this
site to include a right-of-way need, at a minimum, equal to
57 feet, curb, gutter, landscape buffer, and a 6 feet wide
sidewalk.
