Motion carried unanimously.
Pauline C. Kruger, Property Manager, Towle Real Estate, reviewed KRUGER
her March 2, 1989 letter (copy of which is on file in the office
of the Administrator) indicating that the use of the shopping center
has changed and as a result a change is needed in the parking complement.
Her letter is requesting a change from the present 5.5 parking spaces
per 1000 square feet to 5 parking spaces per _1000 square feet of
retail space.
• Questions arose regarding how a parking plan could be developed for
a change in tenant use, how the square footage of the shopping center
is determined, exactly what the variance request is and hours of
operation for use of allotted parking for tenant mix.
Dave Koske, Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc., reviewed his parking KOSKE
study, indicated when the study was taken, advised when peak occupancy
occurs and informed that the study did not include evening hours.
He then reviewed numbers that were taken before this meeting. Mr.
Koske was of the opinion that the Bullseye Plaza Shopping Center
has adequate parking for full retail occupancy. He recommended the
adoption of the variance for 5 parking spaces per 1000 square feet
of retail space.
Daykin and Nestigen were of the opinion that in order for the study DAYKIN/
to better reflect the actual parking needs, more weekdays needed NESTINGE
to be studied including a Saturday, which would then give a more
thorough overview of the present parking situation.
Planner Tim Malloy shared his concerns: (1) the drawing used to MALLOY
determine parking spaces for the Bullseye Sport's Restaurant is not
the same one he was provided, (2) parking budget has to work all
year long--it cannot be based on certain month's needs, (3) questioned
where certain parking spaces were located--are the spaces referred
to by the Bullseye Shopping Center (33 spaces) a.ll located on the
• shopping center property or are part of them located on Embers property,
(4) parking count peaks are different for each month--some numbers

may need to be factored up--February was not a good month to be doing
a parking survey, (5) parking allotment needs to be applied to the
use in the basement, and (6) due to hours of operation of tenants,
shared parking may not work.
A short five minute recess was taken at 9:10 P.M.
Henry Kristal, Embers Restaurant, advised that he cannot have the
shopping center smother his business, the golf-o-mats are generating
a large amount of parking traffic, a restaurant the size Mr. Hunt
is proposing will not monetarily work in the square footage, the
shared parking arrangement won't be continued if it i.n~ades on his
business, and he is willing to work with the City and Mr. Hunt to
make the shopping center a viable operation.
Boche moved, seconded by Nestingen that the variance for parking
be set at 5 parking spaces per 1000 square feet with the understanding
that this approval does not apply in any way to the approval of a
restaurant on the west .end of the shopping center. This would have
to be addressed as a second issue. After a lengthy discussion on
exactly what affect this motion would have on the shopping center,
the motion was withdrawn.
