He stated the management at the Walgreens store stated that off the record, they would not have a problem with cars parking in the site. Director Ericson explained that the Belting site plans show 43 parking stalls and that would be seven short from what is required of code. He stated because it is a PUD, there is some flexibility allowed for parking and there was intent to have a shared parking arrangement in this development. He explained the PUD originally called for 43 stalls which is provided. Director Ericson pointed out that Dr. Belting has provided a site plan complying with the PUD document for the site. He commented that the original use for the site is a restaurant, and the office building will have much less parking demand. He stated that the parking provided as shown in the site plan will be sufficient. Director Ericson stated this item was brought to the Planning Commission, where approval of the 43 parking stalls was recommended. He commented the parking ratio is one stall per 200 square feet of space. Director Ericson offered to answer questions and mentioned Dr. Belting and his brother Tom Belting are present to answer any questions.
