Attachment 2 122 Mr. McKinney stated that the facility is expected to operate primarily on employee shifts 123 rather than with frequent visitor traffic. He indicated that it would not function as a high- 124 turnover or transient-use site. 125 Mr. McKinney also explained that the charging stations are located near the front of the 126 building because they are positioned as close as possible to the electrical room. He noted that 127 minimizing the distance for electrical runs helps reduce costs associated with installing the 128 charging infrastructure. 129 Chair Aspnes acknowledged that practical considerations drive the placement of the charging 130 stations. She contrasted the project with a previous variance request for Dick's Sporting 131 Goods, noting that retail locations experience more transient traffic with customers coming 132 and going who may use charging stations during visits. She clarified that, unlike a retail 133 setting, this facility is not expected to have regular visitor traffic and instead primarily serves 134 employees. 135 Mr. McKinney clarified that the facility is not expected to have a significant number of 136 visitors. He explained that there is no operational need for large numbers of people coming 137 and going, and that activity at the site will primarily involve employees. 138 Chair Aspnes confirmed that the charging stations are intended for employee use and asked 139 whether eight initial stations would be sufficient. She also requested clarification on the total 140 number of parking spaces used in the project calculations. 141 Mr. McKinney stated that the parking study identified approximately 528 parking spaces for 142 the site, including some overlap due to shift changes. He explained that the proposed number 143 of eight initial charging stations is based on data from the tenant’s existing facilities, 144 reflecting current usage patterns with an added allowance for future growth. 145 Chair Aspnes asked what process would be used to determine when, or if, the additional 22 146 charging stations would be brought online. 147 Mr. McKinney explained that the decision to bring additional charging stations online would 148 be driven by employee demand. He noted that if the existing stations are consistently full and 149 employees express the need for more, the additional pre-wired stations could be activated. 150 Chair Aspnes asked whether the employer has a formal process in place to monitor demand 151 and determine when additional charging stations should be installed. 152 Mr. McKinney stated that, based on his discussions, the employer has established processes 153 for gathering employee feedback and making decisions about facilities. While he is not 154 directly involved in those internal operations, he indicated that the organization appears to 155 have a structured approach to assessing demand and determining when additional charging 156 stations would be needed. 157 Chair Aspnes expressed concern that, while the proposal includes infrastructure for additional 158 charging stations, only eight would be installed initially, and the remaining 22 may never be Qbhf!45!pg!299
