Main Street Village , page 8 Vehicle circulation merits re- examination in certain areas such as the car wash exit. It may be best to revise the exit driveway to allow both car wash stalls to exit through the same driveway. •Parking: The site plans show the lot layouts and parking. Some of the parking stalls shown on the plans may not be fully useable. For example, we require stacking for ten cars for a car wash and the stalls on the north of the gas station will not be useable if there are cars stacked for the car wash. In front of the large retail on Lot 2 Block 1, at least the two southernmost stalls should be eliminated as they are too close to the driveway. That driveway design should be re- examined. The large retail building has a patio in back, useable for three or four of the leaseable areas. The alternative parking analysis above assumed three of the spaces (3900 sf) are used for a restaurant. The parking requirement doubles for restaurant use and triples for a fast food business. The result would be a failure to meet the parking requirement. The zoning ordinance does allow for a reduction in the number of required parking stalls if the applicant demonstrates through a peak parking analysis that the peak demand is less than the normally required number of stalls. A peak parking analysis might demonstrate that the submitted plan is workable. • •
