Request to eliminate one parking stall
Permit #BLD2018-0447
To Kristin Johns and Leif Bjorback,
We are requesting to eliminate parking stall #15. This parking stall is on the edge of the steep
slope and during the design phase it appeared this area was level and a parking stall could be
built in this location without a retaining wall.
Unfortunately, we have found this location is part of the steep slope and a retaining wall
would be required to support this parking stall #15. We want to avoid building a retaining
wall on the steep slope.
We believe we can eliminate parking stall #15 and still have enough parking for this facility as
follows:
- When we sent you "request for parking stalls" (dated March 6, 2018) we listed parking
for (20) staff members. This number of staff parking included parking for kitchen
workers. Since the kitchen has been removed from the project, we feel we can reduce
the staff parking from (20) to (19) stalls.
- Our calculations anticipated 31 parking stalls. We also added (2) ADA accessible stalls (as
required) beyond the (31) spaces rather than include the ADA spaces as part of the
parking count. It is likely that one of the ADA stalls will be used by a staff member or
visitor with ADA needs. Again, this will allow the elimination of stall#15 without impact
on the parking availability.
I am attaching the "request for parking stalls" memo and a site plan showing the location of
sta I I#15.
We will also be revising stall#16 to be a parallel parking stall. Since this stall is also closer to
the edge of the steep slope than anticipated, we feel turning the stall 90 degrees will provide
sufficient clearance to the slope edge.
We are requesting you approve these parking stall changes.
Thank you for your consideration.
