Little Canada Planning Commission Little Canada Mayor and City Council 1 May 1986 Page Two Parking is shown on both sides of the drive aisle which the trucking company will use for access. This is a highly undesirable layout. We would discourage any parking on the south side of the drive aisle due to potential vehicular and pedestrian conflicts. The elimination of this parking reduces the supply to 215 spaces. This does have an advantage by providing convenient and segregating bus loading area. While the 215 spaces is short of the recommended 265, it may be adequate for two reasons: First, the fact that the two uses will peak at different times may allow a split reduction in parking supply. Typical peak office use periods are 10 -10:30 a.m., while the bingo use is most likely to peak after 6:00 p.m. A typical credit in this situation would be approximately ten percent, or 27 spaces. This reduces the supply recommendation to 238 spaces. Second, it is reasonable to expect a certain amount of bus traffic to deliver customers. For example, if 50 customers arrived by bus, based on the 1 space per customer ratio, the recommended parking could be reduced by 25 spaces. This would bring the parking demand to 213, just under the quantity of parking provided. This allowance would be contingent upon the provision of bus parking elsewhere on the site without further reduction of automobile parking supply. It should be noted that the applicant has provided an alternate site plan (see Exhibit B) showing the replacement of the open storage sheds with an additional 59 parking spaces, although 62 are south of the drive aisle as on the original plan. Under the PUD agreement, the applicant may be required to expand his parking supply subject to Council or Building Official review. RECOMMENDATION We recommend approval of the PUD conditional use permit subject to the following conditions: o Elimination of the south row of parking. o Replace that parking with designated loading areas. o Provision of bus parking elsewhere on the site. o Execution of a development contract detailing: - Final approved site plan - Provision of additional parking upon City demand. o Other recommendations of the City Attorney and City Engineer. cc: 'Joe Chlebeck Tom Sweeney Don Carley John Palaski Tom Short
