Ms. Jeanne Mabusth <br />March 22, 1996 <br />Page 4 <br />Parking <br />The project's parking lot will be large enough to <br />accommodate use of the project, except for home High School <br />hockey games (and possibly special events that have been <br />coordinated with the School District). <br />As the summary of the School District lease <br />indicates, the School District will permit overflow parking <br />on its parking lots. That overflow use will occur during <br />home hockey games, and we will be working with the High <br />School athletic department on the extent to which those <br />games can be scheduled around other large parking <br />requirements such as a home varsity basketball game. We <br />note that we are currently proposing with the athletic <br />department to have the boys' and girls' varsity and junior <br />varsity hockey games still played at Pond Arena for the <br />first year or two of our operation, as our project may not <br />open fully "game ready" with an operational concession stand <br />and completed team rooms. <br />As the lease summary also indicates, the School <br />District will retain rights to park on the arena's parking <br />lot to meet its own needs (primarily day parking by high <br />school students). <br />Parking Lot Curbing and Paving <br />Given the condition of the soils on the site, <br />particularly under the parking lot location, the School <br />District has suggested from its experience that we defer <br />paving and curbing work for one year. That time will let us <br />test the soils remediation and parking lot preparation, and <br />let us benefit from the additional compaction that actual <br />use of the lot will bring. <br />If you have any questions, or need more <br />information, please let me know. <br />with you. <br />We look forward to working on this application <br />Very truly yours, <br />Mark Engebretson <br />MFE/pkb <br />4597
