i' y �42186.2 I\� TO: Mayor and City Council �, rl FROM: Mark Bernhardson, City Administrator DATE: August 21, 1986 Iv nt- SUBJECT: Noerenberg Park Parking Plan At the July 28, 1986 meeting, the parking plan proposed by the Park Reserve District was presented. At that meeting, the Council felt that the plan revised from the original. to reduce parking from 50 to 26 spaces did not meet the Council's objectives. Subsequent to that, the Park Reserve District has submitted two other alternatives. These are noted in the attached diagrams. The hardcover of the original play. was 30,CG0 s.f. These alternatives reduce it to under 25,000 s.f. Alternative 1 - This alternative is taking the minimum parking plan w.4_th no turn-arounds indicating the area for a proposed expansion from 25 to 50 cars in the future. The area proposed for expansion would now be used as the grass covered area for overflow parkin;. Alternative 2 - Alternative 2 is a re0uction from the original plan by eliminating the bus turn -around and shrinking the sizs of the parking Lot. For over -flow parking io this plan, therc would be mountable: curbs for people just driving up on the grass in the proposed expar,sion area. Futare expansion would provide for minimum disruption o. growing plants if it is ever needed and authorized. hardcover - Based on the size of thQ arcs, the total amount of al lcwed^hardcover in the 2`:0-500' zone would be about 105,000 square feet. Either of the two alternatives plus 16,500 feet in other hardcover in that zone would total about 42,000 square feet in total. This would represent shout 401 of their allowed harcover. The ieason for the design width is to allow for the required fire truck turn -around for this facility. Parking Lot Surface - The Fark PeFerve District has explrred the issue of alternative paving means to asphalt. Based on the potential year around use of the F.arking lot, ever �)uqh minimal in the wirter time, would not all w grass lave, for the main part of the park inq lot.
