Chameleon (Buckingham, Ltd.), 25973 Great Northern Shopping Center Request for variance (1133.13). Request 155 sq. ft. variance for sign. Violation of Ord. 62-33, Section 1221.06. Withdrawn by appellant. 4. Great Northern Corporate Center, north of 25000 Country Club Blvd. Phase 2 Request for variance (1133.13). Request variance to provide fewer parking spaces than required (960 spaces required, 610 to be provided) for proposed office building. Violation of Ord. 62-33, Section 1212.02. Chairman Remmel called all interested parties before the Board. The oath was administered first to Mr. Carlisle of Biskind Development and Council- man McKay and then to Mrs. V. Manning and Mrs. M: Kersten from Colbrook Condominium Association and Mr. Kagel of Jefferson Place Condominium Associa- tion, whose buildings abut the property. Mr. Carlisle explained that phase one of the Corporate Center now has 480 parking spaces, as required by code. The second building will be 6,000 sq. ft. larger and would require 514 spaces for a total of 994 spaces for both buildings. A study taken by Jaclanan Assoc. October 31, 1985, showed that 11:30 a.m. (which they determined as the peak parking time), 159 spaces were occupied; subsequently, pictures of the park- ing lot were taken at this peak time on February 26, 27, and 28th of this year along with an actual car count. In February, phase 1 had a 60.2% oc- cupancy which, based on the code, would require 289 spaces; and during the peak hours on the days surveyed, those spaces were only 55%, 51%, and 62% full; thus during peak hours there is an actual demand for 3.3 spaces for every 1,000 sq. ft, gross area and the developer is proposing to provide 3.63 spaces (or 110% of the peak demand)for every 1,000 sq. ft. gross leaseable area, or a total of 676 spaces for both buildings. They are now requesting a variance of 318 parking spaces (amended from figures originally requested). Mr. Carlisle advised that there would be other studies con- ducted after they reach 100% occupancy and prior to building other phases; and he pointed out that it would not be to their advantage to have insuf- ficient parking for their tenants; and there is ample space to provide
