Hello,
I have not taken this exam and just started attempting this plan as well - so my advice may not be 100% accurate.
I heard from the Dorf video that the plaza can be within 10% of the area.
I am wondering about your service access - I am not sure how deep it is but I would expect that you need a min. 18'-20' to keep any deliveries from blocking the driveway.
Also, on the dorf video it mentioned having a 5' buffer islands at the parking lot.
You don't get extra points for not cutting down trees - so I would slide the parking over to allow a side walk between the office building and the accessible parking.
Not sure what view means - if just having the entrance be the view may work (but I don't know if this is a problem)
Good luck
