I think we are being thrown by the use of roadplates a bit. We lay down
these roadways and the edges of the roadplates end up being wasted space,
because the building is built in the middle of another baseplate. Some sort

roadway you could build out onto it or whatever (lay driveways and
drivethroughs). Also I think maybe we can cheat the width a bit by having
the drivethrough come from the back side to the front intsead of looping all
the way around. Use the other side of the building for a parking lot
