Mike Hoekstra, that the Art Center has agreed to allow the shared use of the parking facility. Staff has yet to receive written confirmation.

The Engineer has reviewed the proposed parking and has advised there is a need for a median to be installed as shown on his site plan. Exhibit J, defining two curb cuts and two parking areas. He also recommends that parking areas now be paved and each stall designated. There is adequate widA for backing out maneuvers with parking stalls adjacent to structure.
