nr 1^ Mr. Jim Anderst -3-September 9,2005 Figure 2 shows the number of parking spaces in Ihe public parking lot, organi^zed by parking sub-area. The total number of striped spaces in the public lot is 129 spaces. In addition to these public spaces, it is important to note the availability of spaces on private properties for the businesses immediately south of the parking lot. Proceeding from west to east, the inventory of private spaces is as follows: ■J r • *'•:. a) Six spaces are available on the west side of the westerly-most building (adjacent to the D’Vinci’s Restaur „nt). Though no spaces are marked, the size of this parking area will accommodate six parked vehicles using normal parking dimensions. b) 21 spaces are available on the north side of the westerly-most building. Again, these spaces are unmarked, but could be accommodated within the area available. c) About three spaces are available behind the Narrows Saloon. The aerial photo shows six parked vehicles in this area, but the western three vehicles are in the space that is proposed to be developed for outdoor seating. \ ^ - :"' v The next step was to determine the existing peak parking demand at typically busy periods. Considering the peaking characteristics of the Narrows Saloon and other businesses that rely upon the public parking lot, we determined that the following three time periods are most critical in terms of the overall adequacy of spaces in the public parking lot: • Ftidoy noon period. This time period encompasses the busiest weekday lunch business for the Narrows Saloon and also is a period of significant activity for multiple other businesses served by the public parking lot. • Saturday noon period Similar to the Friday noon condition, this period also encompasses significant activity for the saloon and other affected businesses. • Saturday evening. This period encompasses the busiest time of week for the Narrows Saloon. A detailed parking occupancy survey was conducted for each of the three above referenced liprie pfrio^iy, The survey consisted of recording the number of vehicles parked in each sub area by 15 • 20 minute interval during the following time periods: • Friday, August 26,2005, from 11 :00 am. to 2:00 p.m. • Saturday, August 27,2005, from 1:10 to 2:00 p.m. • Saturday, August 27,2005, from 9:00 to 11:00 p.m. iSiihaNistffkiiBk I t \ I ^ i ■——
