T1 -4 -<' 4 - •_. T H i) F R -i The applicant estimates 50 people would utilize the test track /viewing area on the average and that the test track area would be operating after office hours. An appropriate estimate of parking use would be one parking stall per two person capacity when applied to the test track use. This would equate to 25 parking stalls required for the test track /viewing area. The applicant mentioned in his June 13, 1989 memo that the warehouse area (3,120 square feet) requiring three parking spaces plus one for each employee may not be used in the first few years. This would then reduce the immediate parking requirements by three so that total required stalls would be 43. Parking Plans, Two parking lot plans were provided for review: one illustrating a plan with twenty -four (24) parking stalls and the other illustrating a plan including an expansion parking stall arrangement with an additional thirty -two (32) stalls (totalling fifty -six (56) with expansion). Please refer to attached site plans. The balance of this memo will address the parking plan with expansion. Parking Space Size. It appears from the site plan that the stall sizes are 8' -6" wide by 20 feet deep. Eight feet 6 inches x 20 feet deep is the minimum required width and depth for 90 degree parking stalls as stated in the Ordinance. Aisle Size. The aisle width requirement for a 90 degree (20 foot deep) parking stall is 24 feet. Both parking plans fail.to provide 24 foot aisle widths (aisle widths are closer to 15 feet in most areas). Aisle widths will need to be adjusted to provide adequate maneuvering distances. Turning Radius. For ease of maneuvering, all parking areas need to provide a 15 foot minimum turning radius space at the end of each parking aisle. This design requirement is to allow for proper entrance and exit from a parking stall. Both parking plans as drawn lack the required turning radius. Setback. The Ordinance states that a curbed parking lot cannot be closer than five (5) feet to any lot line. Parking stalls abutting the eastern lot line and northern lot line will have to be adjusted to meet this requirement. Parking Lot Design. The proposed parking layouts are deficient in a number of areas including aisle width, turning radius, and setback from lot lines. The following is a breakdown by area of issues to be resolved an the parking plans. Parking /South Side: The easternmost parking stall(s) will need to be removed, as a result of the five foot setback requirement and /or 15 foot turning radius requirement. The applicant could provide angled -in parking in this area to reduce aisle width requirements and turning radius requirements. A one -way entrance Page 50
