Seconded by Shavor and. unanimously adopted. parking Lot Don Julep .°ras pr ;sent. Utecht read report from the a,4idwest Manning 3usiness Rc Research, Inc., which was sum~arized as follows: "The appro- District priateness of the use of the land in question for narking purposes SE cor Larp is accorded, given the foregoing. prerequa ites and proper design g~ Snell. standards. The solution of the general problem of traffic circu- lation, adequate off-street parking facilities and most efficient use of the land in this part of Falcon Heights, however, does not rest on this one aspect alone. It is noted that parking on the Ilorth and 4,`est sides of the shopping district is not fully con- trolled. and that a part of the sdetivalk area is used for parking cars, and that there is a conflict between the narking and pedes- trian needs in front of the gas station, the supermarket and businesses fronting on Larnenteur. Design of this supplementary parking area to the rear of the businesses should be accompanied vrith x~lans for controlling narking for all of the land on the southeast corner of the intersection, At such time as specific plans .are presented to the Village for development of the narking lot in rue tion, it is also suggested that they be checked carefully to ensure that adequate provisions for draining, surfacing and li~-hting are included, vrith -~a.rticular emphasis placed on the need to prevent any illumination beaming onto any adjacent residential properties." Julep: We purposely have not done anything to that strip along Larpenteur, thinking the highway would be torn up, new curbs in- stalled and the grade adjusted. There never has b<;en a "Stop Sign" at Arena and the alley. It is quite ~' blind alley coming out from the North. l"~e have had equipment in there and cleaned up the lot. Vde sent it through the area between the bushes and the houses. ti^ae covered up a lot of debris and uprooted low trees. ~~e hired a new man who is coming in ;.Zonday, and when vre get the general parking lot in shape, we are going to go after the weeds. 'fi`re are fusing about 70' south of the building for parking vrhich brings us just about to the alley line back of Applebaum's. Utechts Are you ready to improve that property by putting in side- ~nralks and shrubs? Ju},ent ti'Ve will pay our share of sidewalks but don?t want. to put a sidewalk in on our piece of land. and have it go to the end of the property only. If you put sidewalks in from Larpenteur to Hoyt, we will pay our share of the assessment. We aNe in the midst of im- proving the drainage around the catch basin. tJ':e have about 100 of parking blocks extending from the alley south parallel to Northern States Power. I want to get another 100' to keep people from going through. 4Je would like to get that. whole area graded. Tt vrould be about ~0~ from the Arena curb to the narking area. It is my plan to keep up that 8 or 10' of getter vrhich has been a bunch of high weeds.. Shavor: What 's your plan for the back of the rear lot line? Julep: It can be any depth now.
