.. , t) Adding the 340 spaces required for Cub to the peak occupancy of 364 spaces on April 17 results in a total parking demand for the conditions on April 17 of 704 spaces. This total demand is 22 spaces fewer than the total 726 spaces available. Though this is an adequate situation, the closeness of the demand to the supply suggests that Bradley Real Estate should seek to apply management measures that would avoid multiple large special events at the same time, such as occurred on April 17. If adequate parking is available elsewhere on'the Har Mar property, another option would be to encourage special event users to park elsewhere on the Har Mar property. g) Following completion of the Cub Store, the Har Mar Mall as a whole will require a total of2,208 spaces (5.0 spaces per 1000 sq.ft. times the 441,600 sq.ft. size after completion of the Cub Store). The 441,600 sq. ft. consist of the existing size of 428,100 sq.ft. plus the68,000 sq.ft. size of the Cub Store minus the 54,500 size of the former Homeplace Store. h) Following completion of the Cub Store, the Har Mar Mall as a whole will provide a total of 2,229 parking spaces. This total consists of 726 spaces in the south area plus 1,503 spaces in all other parking areas on the Har Mar site. It is important to emphasize that this parking supply of 2,229 spaces accounts for all traffic changes recommended in this report - in the south area, on the east side ofHar Mar and on the driveway to Snelling Avenue. i) Based on the preceding two points, we have determined that the overall parking situation for the Har Mar Mall after completion of the Cub Store will be in full compliance with City requirements because the parking supply of 2,229 spaces will exceed the 2,208 number of spaces required. j) Our final parking comments address the Farmers Market and the State Fair. We understand that the Farmers Market occurs on Tuesday mornings from June through October in front of the Barnes & Noble Store. Given that the location is distant from the Cub Store and that the market occurs on an off- peak time for the Cub Store, we are confident that the Cub Store will not have any negative impact on parking availability for continued operation of the Farmers Market. Regarding the State Fair, we understand that Bradley management personnel have determined that use of the Har Mar parking lot as a remote parking facility for State Fair attendees no longer can be permitted following completion of the Cub Store. 11
