City of Roseville/Fernwood vacation, Case No. 2458 paqe 3 parkina The Fact Sheet summarizes the parking numbers involved and the attached Parking Plan, developed by Parks Director Bob Bierscheid, summarizes the pOlicies that could be implemented to manage the parking situation. All parking - existing and future - is planned to access County Road C or civic Center Drive, not directly onto Woodhill. Note that the Oval is not expected to significantly increase net demand for parking in the civic Center area. The largest events at the Ice Arena today draw more people than the typical Oval event is expected to generate. The largest anticipated Oval events (one or two per year) will need about the same parking as the largest events at the Ice Arena (hockey games several times a year). A key policy in the Parking Plan is to control the scheduling so that two major events do not happen at the same time in the civic Center area, whether they would involve the Oval, Ice Arena, or City Hall. A number of policies are outlined which would reduce the total number of cars coming to major events in this area (off-site parking, car pooling, off-site signs) as well as policies designed to restrict parking to designated areas once cars do arrive (signage, police control). Temporary parking restrictions could be implemented for the side residential streets, allowing only residents to park in these areas during events. The interim plan for the Oval facility (see attached) shows a new overflow parking lot on the north side of the Ice Arena. Even though a portion of the existing parking lot will be lost to construction of the Oval, this new lot will more than replace the lost spaces and total parking in the civic Center area will be increased by at least 40 cars. There is space to increase this number even further if necessary. The final plan for the Oval will be reviewed by City staff when a building permit is requested. The specific number of parking spaces provided will be compared to the Code requirements and expected attendance at various events. To accommodate peak activities, a parking management plan will be implemented similar to the outline included with this report. When the details of the Oval site plan have been finalized, the details of the parking plan can be finalized as well. Environmental Issues As noted in the attached memo, no environment-related permits are needed from DNa or the MPCA for the Oval project, and no adverse impacts are expected.
