There are no specific parking <br />standards For this review, staff has taken the position that this institute has operated lor over <br />twenty vears without any parking problems. The 46 toul sails would appear to provide <br />adequate parkine. The applicant has advised that they plan no signage changes or ligh»n? <br />changes Although applicant would be allowed over 500 s.f. of signage based on the standards <br />of the signage code for the B-4 district. No single sign can exceed 50 s.f. <br />Please review Gustafson ’s report of May 5. 1995. He advises that there is no change in use or <br />a more intense use proposed. The existing paved access and gravel parking lot is acceptable. <br />Applicant’s addendum notes possible himre plans to pave the area^ Upon your insprction y^ <br />may have noted that the parking stalls have not been designated. Designation of stalls may be <br />best addressed at the time of paving of the parking lot. It should also be noted tat the applicara <br />does own the parcel (Lot 8. the Marsh at Ufayette) to the imniedtaie ^uth. This area may^ <br />used to serve future parking needs. The staff has not asked for the legal combination of ta <br />parcels as the minimu^ lot size for the B-4 district is 20.000 s.f. and the subject property ctear^ <br />meets the area requirement. There are no existmg accessory improvements to support the <br />principal use on the adjacent parcel. <br />Review Exhibit I, the staff has enclosed a portion of a survey done by a private consultant for <br />Freshwater Institute.
