As a result of the <br />applicant’s review of the design of the parking lot, two parking stalls were removed from the <br />north side of the building to improve circulation. This would result in a reduction of the number <br />of parking stalls to 68. Based on the proposed use of the property, the Zoning Code requires a <br />minimum of 60 stalls. The exhibit also depicts how the site would be modified if Ramsey County <br />requires the Lexington Avenue driveway to be closed. Primrose School would construct an <br />additional four parking stalls on the east side of the site if the driveway were to be closed. <br /> <br />Staff reviewed the plans with the Fire Marshall and they were comfortable with the Fire <br />Department being able to adequately circulate on the site if the Lexington Avenue driveway is <br />closed.
