- � ` . <br /> Mr. Jim Anderst -9- September 9, 2005 � <br /> As noted in the preceding table, the total parking demand following completion of the Narrows <br /> Saloon expansion will be less than the existing public parking supply of 129 spaces during all <br /> three peak times. In relating the projected future parking demand to the existing public supply <br /> of 129 sp�ces, two possible questions are: Aren't the projected puking demands for the Friday <br /> noon and late Saturday evening peaks quite close to the 129 space supply? Does the limited <br /> number of additional available spaces at these times constrain potential future land use changes <br /> for other properties relying upon the public parking lot? <br /> The answer to the first question is yes,the total future parking demand will be quite close to the <br /> available spaces during the Friday noon and late Saturday evening peak periods. This situation <br /> is satisfactory for two reasons: 1) the demand is within the total available supply and 2) highly <br /> conservative assumptions have been applied to estimate the increased parking demand for the <br /> Narrows Saloon. <br /> The answer to the second question is no, the Narrows Saloon expansion will not limit change in <br /> use opportunities for other buildings served by the public parking lot. Two reasons for this <br /> conclusion are: <br /> a) The public parking supply of 129 spaces does r,ot account for a total of about 30 <br /> spaces available on private properties—about three spaces behind the Narrows <br /> Saloon, about 21 spaces on the north side of the westerly-most building, and about <br /> six spaces on the west side of the westerly-most building. Though a few of the <br /> spaces north and west of the westerly-most building presently are used, numerous <br /> spaces in these areas are available to accommadate potential increased parking <br /> demand for this building. <br /> b) The peak parking demand for the Narrows Saloon occurs late on Saturday evenings, <br /> when very low parking demand is experienced for practically all types of businesses <br /> that may have potential to occupy space in other buildings served by the public <br /> parking lot. Time periods when other businesses have higher levels of parking <br /> demand are periods of lower parking demand for the Narrows Saloon. <br />
