12. Required off-street parking per Section 10.61, Subd. 10 is as follows: Office Building: Required stalls = 1 per 200 s.f. of "net usable floor area for office use" Net usable floor area = 19,400 s.f. + Total stalls required = 19,400/200 = 97 Total stalls proposed = 97 Senior Residential Building Required stalls = 2 per dwelling unit (standard for multiple dwelling use) Number of dwelling units = 62 Total stalls required = 124 Total stalls proposed = 83 interior stalls + 39 exterior stalls = 122 stalls The senior housing parking proposal is 2 stalls short of the standard parking requirement. A building designed for senior housing use may not require the same parking standards as an apartment-type multiple dwelling use. Applicant has stated in his experience the parking proposed on site will be sufficient for the intended use. Pedestrian access between the office and senior building parking lots will be provided to allow for potential use of the office parking by senior building visitors during weekend hours. 13. An existing 8' wide trail which is part of the Orono comprehensive trail system is located along Brown Road. An existing 6' sidewalk is located along the south property line adjacent to Highway 12. The proposed site plan provides pedestrian access to the existing trail and sidewalk via sidewalks within the site. A sidewalk connection between the office building and senior housing building within the site will also be constructed to allow for easy pedestrian access between the two uses, which will allow for weekend overflow parking. 14. The applicant has provided preliminary site plans, grading plans, landscaping plans, utility plans and building construction plans which the Council finds are sufficient to indicate the intent of the developer and the potential impacts of the project.
