is intended to obtain compliance with the provisions to the extent
practicable as determined by the Board responsible for review.

exist or are planned) and bike racks close to business entrances shall
be provided for properties fronting Route 25 or other major arterial
street.

or seasonal parking overflow areas of the parking lot shall be surfaced
with porous pavement or gravel.
(b)
Landscaped areas of the parking lot shall be sited, planted,
and graded in a manner to provide infiltration and detention of runoff
from paved areas.
