Mr. J'im Anderst � -3- � September 9, 2005 Figure 2 shows the number of parking spaces in the publ.ic parking lot, organized by parking sub-area. The total nurnber of striped spaces in the public lot is 129 spaces. In additioii to these public spaces, it is importauit.to note:the availability of spaces on private prvperties for the businesses immediately south of the parking lot, Proceeding frotn west to east, the in.ventory of private spaces is as follows; a) Six spaces are available on the west side of the westerly-most building(adjacent to the D'Vinci's Restaurant). T(�ougl�no spaces are marked, the size of this parking area will accommadate six parl�ed vehicles using normal parking dimensions. b) 21 spaces axe available on the north side vf the westerly-most building. Again, these spaces are unmarked,.but-could-be�accommodated within the area available. c) About three spaces are availa,ble beltind the Narrows Saloon. The aenial photo shows six parked vehicles in thxs.area, but the western three vehicles are in the space that is proposed to be developed for outdoor seating. The next step was to deternune the existing peak parking demand at typically busy periods. Consideri�ng the peaking chazacteristics af the Narrows Saloon and other businesses that rely upon the public parking lot, we detetmined tfiat tlte following three.time periods are most critical in terms of the averall adequacy of spaces i.n the public parking lat: • Friday noan�period. This tin2e period en�compasses tl�e busiest weekday lunch business for the Narrows�Salaon and also is a period af significant activity for multiple other businesses served by the public.parking lot. • Saturday noon pe.�iod. Siinilar#o the Friday noo�n condition, this period also encompasses significant activity for thz saloo�.and other af�'ected businesses. • Saturdcry evening. This period encompasses the busiest time of week for the Narrows Salavn. A detailed parking occupancy survey was conducted for each of the three above referenced tirne periods. The survey co�nsistad of recarding the number of vehicles parked in each sub- area by 15 -20 minute interval during the following ritne periods: • Friday,August 26, 2005,from 11:00 a.m, to 2:Op p.m. . � Saturday, August 27, 2005, fioxn.1:10 to 2:OQ p.m. � Saturday, Augu.st 27; 2005, fro�n 9:00 to 11:00 p.m. 0i/b0'�-1 il.9i RS'� ��F •'1n��H 5t -�rx1u�N�a c�•ca caa�_aa_��c
