The property is bordered on the south by a 72-space City parking lot, on the west by a City driveway and Femando's Restaurant, and on the east by the 320 St. Mary Street (State Farm Insurance) and 641 Main Street (Wine Steward) buildings. Commercial buildings are located to the north, across St. Mary Street. The nearest residence is located a minimum of 130 feet away from the subject site at 377 St. Mary Street. In addition, residences in the 670-694 Peters Avenue townhouse development are located a minimum of 225 feet west of the subject site. Other residences are located west of Peters Avenue. A driveway on St. Mary St. and two driveways on Peters Avenue lead to the City parking lot behind the building. III.
