In the process of reviewing the site plan the Site Plan Review Committee shall consider:
(a) The location and design of driveways providing vehicular ingress and egress from the site in relation to streets giving access to the site, and in relation to pedestrian traffic.
(b) The traffic circulation features within the site and location of automobile parking areas, and may make such requirements with respect to any matters as will assure:
(1) The safety and convenience of both vehicular and pedestrian traffic both within the site and in relation to access streets.
(2) The satisfactory and harmonious relationships between the development on the site and the existing and prospective development of contiguous land and adjacent neighborhoods.
(c) The Committee may further require landscaping, fences and walls in pursuance of these objectives and the same shall be provided and maintained as a condition of the establishment and the continued maintenance of any use to which they are appurtenant.
(d) In those instances, where the Committee finds that an excessive number of ingress and/or egress points may occur with relation to major or secondary thoroughfares, thereby diminishing the carrying capacity of the thoroughfares, the Committee may recommend marginal access drives. For a narrow frontage which will require a single outlet the Committee may recommend that money be placed in escrow with the City so as to provide for a marginal service drive equal in length to the frontage of the property involved. Zoning and building permits shall not be issued until the improvement is approved by the Committee in writing to the Zoning and Building Inspectors.
(e) Site plans for proposed development within a Flood Plain District shall be reviewed on the basis that the plan assures a satisfactory and harmonious relationship between the proposed land development or structure and the contiguous land and adjacent neighborhoods; and further, that the proposed land development or structure assures satisfactory provisions to guard against loss of property or life due to flooding conditions.
