The gravel pull-off is the contractor's construction entrance and 
I definitely would not recommend parking there.  If parking is 
available, I don't see why one couldn't park at the office 
building.  The parking lot is private property though, so you 
should use your own discretion.  I did not have any trouble 
parking there.
