this by-law. Structures shall be oriented toward the street serving the premises and not
the required parking area.
3. Roads. The principal roadway(s) serving the site shall be designed to conform with
the standards of the Planning Board’s Subdivision Control Rules and Regulations.

reduce the number of required parking spaces in a FBDP by special permit upon a finding
that such reduction will not cause substantial detriment.
