Regular Council Meeting 417-00 Page 14 bottom line is to get parking closer to the door. Only about 20% of their practice is upper extremity. The majority of the people that come to NovaCare say they do so because they like being able to park and come right in. Mayor Rinker asked if there is any rear door access--and any way to make it more accessible. Ms. Singer said there are stairs in the back and we must make it ADA accessible. The way the land is structured, there is quite a drop off. Mayor Rinker asked if they have costed that out and if there would be a way to take advantage of the parking there. Ms. Singer said there are not a lot of spaces; a lot are talcen up with employee parking and there are other businesses and she would be nervous to have other people parldng back there with the semi trucks. Mayor Rinker asked if there would be a way to restrict the overlap between the warehouse use and the parking for patients. Mr. Rapaszky said I can assure you as a landlord we would not be promoting the idea that we would be spending in excess of $80,000 (for parking and landscaping) if we felt they could live without it. When it is all said and done, they need it. It will not go without the parking. Dr. Parker said it is not a matter without all 3 components. Mr. Rapaszky said correct. Ms. Singer said that is why we presented all 3 at the same time. Mr. Rapaszky explained the nornlal procedure with a lease. They will not be able to say it is a 10 year lease; it is a 2-year lease. As Mayor Rinker says, the parking lot will be the parking lot once they put it in but if they aren't good neighbors, you may not renew the use permit. Mayor Rinker asked what if we were to condition the parking expansion that if the special use terminates at whatever point that the parking lot would revert to what it is now. Mr. Rapaszky said if we were denied the Special Use Permit and we spent all this money we should maintain the right to put an office in.
