The proposed building will be open to the front, enclosed on the remaining three sides and roofed. It will be approximately 28 feet deep and either 50 feet or 73 feet wide, depending on whether a two-bay or three-bay configuration is selected.

Additional design elements will include site grading and drainage, as well as the evaluation and design of a retaining wall, if required, to accommodate the existing hillside located behind the proposed building site.
