The <br /> following provides my findings and conclusions. <br /> 1. The pa�•king supply counts were conducted on a Fridly noon, Sattn•day early afternoon and Saturday evening. <br /> These are appropriate time periods for such inventory, bllt I.d0 110t I:now if August is an avera�e month with <br /> i•egard to patronage of tliis saloon. The data collected, upon which tlle analysis is based, could be lower than <br /> other time periods during the year. I mention this because the future demand could be overstated or <br /> understated. <br /> 2. The st�idy does not addcess all the issues that the City requested. I don't know why. Of pat-ticular importance <br /> is the parking required per City ordinance for each user in the area that uses the �ublic �arking lot. That <br /> number should be calculated. <br /> 3. The study bases the firture dem�nd on the inereased size of the saloon-this coulci be uncierstated as the <br /> same rate is used for the expansion that the datl of the parking survey discovered. By this I mean, often <br /> times a flcility that experiences a certain parking rate per square foot will, after an expansion,e.cperience <br /> a higher parking rate per square foot merely due to the facility bein�more attractive and could attract more <br /> patrons th2n was being ex��eriet}ced by the esistin�facility parlcing rate per unit of ineasurement. <br /> 4. The parking demind for� Caribou is stlted at 11 spaces during the peak. I have no parking data regarding <br /> such facility,but I did go and lool:at a Starbucl:s �leai•my office on Tuesdly noon. There were l.8 parked <br /> cars and the lot w1s full. There�vere 4 cnrs at tl�e clrive-thru ih�t a{'Pected circulltion. I noted people parlcinb <br /> in �n adjacent store lot and walking to the Stlrbucl<s. 1.only mentian this as it is possible that the 1 l space <br /> demand for the Caribou may be understated. <br /> 5. The study indicates 1 future deinand fhat would basically "fill" the 129 space lot. This value, 1s provided in <br /> the sludy, would appear to limit�ny expansio�� of oiher Uuilding users that rely on the 129 sc�uare lots. That is <br /> an issue that the Ciiy needs to consider. <br /> E).
