The original site plan had some problems with parking <br />arrangements and site circulation. A revised site plan has been submitted. <br />The proposed expansion has not changed, but the site plan has been re- <br />arranged to address the conditions listed in the preliminary report. <br />ISSUES AND ANALYSIS <br />The original site plan required the following changes in the parking <br />arrangement: <br />- The perimeter curb and parking at the south end of the lot <br />is moved five feet from the lot line. <br />- Angle parking is eliminated north of the building. <br />- 17 parking stalls are provided. <br />The revised parking, while a considerable improvement from the original site plan, <br />will require a few minor changes. <br />Parking. Near the loading dock, the lot has some grade problems which make <br />it unsuitable for parking. The two parking stalls located north of the <br />building should be shifted eight feet to the west. Since parallel parking <br />along a wall is not practical for vehicles with passengers, these stalls <br />should be designated for employee parking only. <br />Parking for one car is shown in the northwest corner of the building front. <br />This area should be kept as an access aisle. On attached Exhibit C, an <br />alternative plan has eliminated this stall and revised parking on the south <br />end of the lot for three cars angle parked. <br />012 <br />4820 minnetonka boulevard, suite 420 minneapolis, mn 55416 612/925-9420 <br />
