A total of 18 stalls (9' x 20' ) have been provided. The access aisles provide adequate area for cars to manuever backing in and out. Emergency fire lane has been designated providing immediate access to building. Hennepin County has reviewed the proposed access to the west and has approved the location. They have asked that the access, approved for exiting only on the current site used by Lowell., be closed off. The Comprehensive Parking Plan for both sites will now provide uncontrolled accesses on Navarre Avenue and County Road 15 at the west access. The east site will pick up 2 to 3 additional parking stalls when access is closed. The City Engineer has approved the parking layout advising of the need for the exchange of appropriate access easements and that a curb be placed along boulevard and pond area to prevent vehicles from driving over the grass. Driting aisles should be clearly designated for safe use either by signage or markings on pavement - possibly both.
