For overflow <br />parking, there would be mountable curbs for people just <br />driving up on grass in the proposed expansion area. <br />Future expansion would provide minimum disruption of <br />growing plants if it is ever needed and authorized. <br />Deb Bartels stated that they also prefer Alternative 2 <br />because of easier circulation of cars and overflow <br />parking access. She stated that Alternatives 1 and 2 <br />meet the fire code lane requirements whereas Alternative <br />3 does not. She noted that they would like to install <br />two parking stall test areas of grass pavers in the <br />overflow parking area for future expansion area use. <br />11 <br />
