Little Canada Mayor and City Council 9 June 1981 Page Two during simultaneous use of adjacent fields. It h recommended that this fencing include backstop and frontstop of each field as well as at least halfway down the sidelines of each field, as indicated on Exhibit C, attached. This fence should be 10 feet tall in accordance with the ordinance. The simultaneous use of fields 3 and 4 may be in conflict, even if fenced. However, both fields can still remain and be utilized as relief fields when needed. Parking. The proposed parking plan attached, Exhibit D, indicates the provision of 163 parking spaces to serve the site. Three of these spaces are only 8 feet wide and will need to be enlarged. This will eliminate one of the spaces. It h also recommended that a north - south drive be provided along the eastern side of the parking lot to improve circulation through the lot. The parking spaces will all need to be lengthened from 19 feet to 20 feet to conform with the ordinance parking design requirements. This modification will reduce the width of the aisles to 22 feet, which is still in conformance with the ordinance and will probably eliminate 18 parking spaces. Also, to facilitate maneuvering, the spaces along the east and west sides of the lot should be aligned to be perpendicular to the curb. It is . recommended that the parking requirement standard for public playfields of 10 spaces per acre be applied to this site. Of the total 17.5 acres, 13 acres of playfield are proposed, which will require 130 parking spaces. Even with the above mentioned modifications the proposed parking area will provide sufficient parking spaces to serve the site. It will be necessary to install curbing around the perimeter of the parking area in accor- dance with the ordinance. A gravel surface has been indicated. Plans for surfacing and drainage of the parking lot are subject to the City Engineer. The parking area h setback 20 feet from the street surface and is therefore in conformance with the 15 foot setback _ requirement for parking areas. Proper drainage of the entire site should be exhibited to and approved by the City Engineer. Landscaping and Screening. A mature honeysuckle hedge currently exists along the front of the part of the lot proposed for parking. It provides adequate screening of the parking from the adjacent residential zone. An expansion of the parking area is indicated in the southwestern corner of the lot where a stand of mature trees exist. The applicant must.; insure that adequate screening will remain if an expansion of the parking area occurs. Beer License. The applicant is also requesting a license to allow the sale of 3.2 beer from the concession stand. The Council should make an initial determination regarding this request prior to deliberating over other issues of the proposal, since the applicant will not . . likely go ahead with his plans without the 3.2 beer license. -
