? desiguate it as a parking area. After some discussion, it was decided that there should be a connector sidewalk from this parking lot to the property line adjacent to the restaurant next door so hopefully, if the restaurant ever comes back to the commission, it could be continued. Mr. Kaczmar stated that they would paint it as if it were a cross wallc aud also they could do that in other areas to define where people could wallc. Mr. Brennau is still concerned about guests parking so far out. Mr. Kaczmar advised that they would need 79 shared parking spaces with the Corporate Center including the 48 spaces granted previously. Mr. Scott again mentioned that they did have an easeinent for parking, but there were no restrictions as to how many. Mr. Kaczmar noted that the office parking would not be use in the evening when the banquet rooms would be in use. Assistant Building Commissioner Rymarczyk advised that lus calculations showed that they would need 115 shared spaces, not the 31 that they meutioned. He figured that the hotel needed 411 parkuig space, the existing 194 aud the addition needed 217. He clarified that they needed 163 total shared parking spaces aud they had 48 at tlus t'vne. He wondered ifthe corporate center could afford to give up that much. Mr. Scott repeated that both the hotel and the Corporate Center had free use of the parking area. Mr. Rymarczyk uoted that there were 125 reserved parking spaces ou the site now. Mr. Rymarczyk reviewed the parking requirements for Mr. Kaczmar: originally they needed 194 car parking, with the new addition they will need 217 spaces, and they would need 115 shared parkiug. He believed that they should present the cross easement agreement. Mr. Rymarczyk believed that their calculations had subtracted the 48 spaces twice. Mr. Scott again stated that the agreement did not include a specific uumber of spaces. Assistant Law Director Dubelko had looked at the declaratiou of cross easements aud advised that, assuming that everything is conect, it provides that all parties have equal right to park on it which establishes the right of both parties to park on it. A separate issue is whether or not, uuder the city code, the entire area has sufficient parking. Mr. Rymarczyk advised that the entire development required 1,122 car parking and they are falling 158 short. He clarified for the developers that he believed that the codes are the same today as they were when this was built, but lus figures were based on the original plan submitted, and there are a few more on tlus plan. The Building Department will review the document and the new plan to determine if there is sufficient parking for both buildings. Mr. Snavely, owner of the hotel, stated that currently there is sufficient parking capacity between the Corporate Center and the hotel and considering the nature of the two businesses, the office building would require more spaces during the day and the hotel would need more at night. Ms. Cameron Alston stated that the banquet facility could be used to its full capacity ciuring the day for training, etc. The developers agreed that it was possible. Mr. Mauuing wondered how many guests used the shuttle from the airport. Mr. Snavely estimated that 30 or 40%. Mr. Tallon asked Mr. Rymarczyk to check on the existing parking plan to cletermine if any landbanked spaces are available, since spaces could have been landbanked and to get a total percentage of what the parking requirements are for this site based on the latest submission. Mr. Scott stated that there was an original plan in the brochure and explained that some of the spaces on the previous recreational land will be on Corporate Center property. It was agreed that they needed 402 spaces for the hotel. Mr. Rymarczyk stated that the Corporate Center, based on current leasable area, needed 711 spaces. So a total of 1113 parking spaces would be needed for the total site, and they are proposing 988. Mr. Kaczmar stated that there was a large expanse of green area where there might be some landbanked spaces. They will research that as well. Mr. Scott stated that they could research how much space was leased in the Corporate Center, and Mr. Rymarczyk stated that they were almost at capacity. Chaiiman Tallon advised that they were 93% occupied, but he agreed that there were empty parking spaces on the site. The members had no further questions. Mr. Rymarczyk advised that they would need referral to the board of zouing appeals for the truck loading zones since they are required to have three 12 by 50 spaces for loading and unloading. Mrr. Scott stated that they did have the zones but they had not marked them on the plan. Mr. Rymarczyk stated that in that area they would lose 4 parking spaces. Mr. Scott stated that they intended to use these spaces for employee parking. Mr. Brennan would like 4
