Bremer conunented historically the are� of Navarre h�s not seen a lot of redevelol�ment and thal in her opinion this expansion is ri�lit for Navarce. Bremer stated in lier opinion once an �pplication is pendiug, � law c�nnot be iil7posed on that a.pplication arid would be subject to the la��s tllat exist�t tlie tiine the a�pIication is submiited. }3remer siated the inoratorium is important in her nund Uut tliat it does not apply in this sitiialion. Bremer stated she would be iii agreement with increasing the height of the back wall to eight feet if tl7at would help address the noise concenls. Breiiler stated t11e parking proUlem cannot be ignored but in her view it is not en�ugli to stop this application fi•om going forward to tlle Council. 7im Benshoof, Benshoof&Associates, stated the Uasic question of parking adequacy is very valid and that there are tlu�ee ways to approach that question. Benshoof stated one approach is to ask whether this proposal iiiakes sense, and the secoiid ap�roach is to ask whetlier the parking sh.tdy addresses the current and future parking needs of the area. Tlle third approach would Ue to rely more specifically on a code reviev��. Benshoof indicated he would be able to speak to ihat question,but he would prefer to speak to tlie ini-uilive approach to the parking. 13enshoof sCated according to City Code, this expai�sion would require 63 spots. Benshoof staCed ihe greates�demand for parking from ihis establishment is in the evening llouis and that the study deulonslraled at pealc demand Cimes tlial�l�e Narrow's Saloon«�ould require less Cl�an half of tlie��arlcii}g that is available in tlie area. T3enshoof slaCed in Ilis view this expansion does ulake sense in terms of the parkiug. 13enshoof revie��e�i the peak demaiid tin�es fo��parking for Cl�e Narrow's Saloon and poinled ouC tllat their si:uely does account for an incrcase in the��ark-n-ride of six p�rkiilg slalls as well as an increased I'AG� 11
