Provide documentation of executed parking agreements with neighboring businesses, including agreement language and the number of spaces that are part of the agreement. Response: We do not believe we need additional parking. However, in the event that we need additional parking, we are in communication with Presbyterian church of the way. The pastor has assured us of 55 parking spaces, but the parking agreement has to be executed by the Church Session which does not meet until June 20th. 2. Request for Flexibilities a. In the Elegant Event Center City Narrative, it is suggested that the formula for event center parking requirements is 1 space for every 3 seats. This narrative also states that the development is designed to accommodate up to 464 seats, which at 1 space for every 3 seats, would require 155 parking spaces. The narrative states that 145 spaces will be available on-site. The Request for Flexibilities should address this proposed flexibility. Response: According to the fire marshal, the event space has a capacity of 464 people. Based on our formula/proposal of 1 car per 3 seats, it would require 155 parking spaces. Since we have 145 parking spaces, we are requesting flexibility for 10 additional parking spaces. We believe 145 parking spaces will be sufficient because we do not anticipate a time when all 464 people would be on the property simultaneously. Most events occur on weekends or after hours when the café and daycare services are closed except for the kitchen, leaving us with enough parking for events. b. Address Site Furnishings and Seating Areas requirements for benches and decorative plantings and functional outdoor seating area for restaurants. Response: We do not have any plans for having an outdoor seating area, the porch area on the east side of the building is a designated smoke area and would not be used for outside seating for café. 3. Site Plan a. Site Plan to provide a summary tabulation of minimum B-2 District Requirements and proposed project/site data (i.e. Lot Coverage by Structure, Minimum Landscape Area, Floor Area Ratio, Impervious Surface Area, Setbacks, Parking, etc.) to aid in evaluating compliance with zoning requirements. Response: B-2 District requirements and proposed site data has been added to sheet C3. b. Identification of snow storage area(s). (Note: Separate site plan or explanation of snow storage in narrative.) Response: Snow storage locations are shown on sheet C-B. Snow in excess of what can be stored in these locations will be hauled offsite.
