J ` Y Bonestroo Rosene Anderlik & I ci Associates Engineers&Architects MEMORANDUM To: Parks Director Marian Rygwall File From: Joe Rhein Date: March 12, 2004 Re: Lakeside Park Parking Lot—Option 4 File No.: 435-04-106 On March 11, 2004, we transmitted to you drawings and cost estimates for three options to replace the existing parking lot at Lakeside Park with a new lot. Based on that information, you requested that we prepare a drawing for a fourth option, which combined certain elements of the previous three. Please refer to that transmittal for information on Options 1 through 3 as necessary. We have completed the working drawing for Option 4 for the Lakeside Park parking lot, and are transmitting it with this memo. Option 4 features angled parking, oriented in a north-south direction,very similar to Option 3. However, as you requested, the drive lanes on Option 4 were widened to accommodate two-way traffic. Option 3 had allowed for one-way traffic only. Therefore the traffic flow in Option 4 is very similar to Option 1. Option 4 contains a total of 80 parking stalls. This compares to 91 stalls in Option 1, and 82 stalls in Option 3. The difference in stalls between Options.3 and 4 is due to widening of the drive lane at the north end of the lot, which caused two stalls to be removed from the center area. The size of Option 4 is very close to Option 1, with Option 4 only approximately 350 square feet smaller. This is due to the fact that the lot in Option 4 is four feet less wide than Option 1, because of the angled parking. Our letter of March 11, 2004 showed that the estimated costs for Options 1 and 3 were very similar. While a detailed cost estimate has not been prepared for Option 4, the cost would be very similar again to that of Option 1 or Option 3. Size(sq ft) No.Stalls Parking _ Traffic Flow Cost Option 1 31,977 91 90 degree Two-way $127,545 Option 2 37,130 96 Angled One-way $138,083 Option 3 29,318 82 Angled One-way $127,067 Option 4 31,650 80 Angled Two-way App. $127,500 If Staff and Council prefer Option 4, we would recommend it be constructed an extra four feet wide, which is the width of Option 1. That would give the City the option of striping the lot for either angled parking per Option 4, or 90 degree parking, per Option 1. The cost difference for constructing the lot this extra four feet wide would be minimal. Please feel free to contact me at 651-604-4803 if you have any questions regarding Option 4 or wish to discuss the Lakeside Park parking lot further.
