Number of parking stalls, existing and additional The current bank facility/site has approximately 30 parking spaces on the Main Street and river side levels. City ordinance would require 122 spaces. Of the 30 existing on-site parking spaces, eight spaces would be eliminated to provide adrop-off and pick-up lane as well as a play area for children. The purpose of the drop-off lane is to create a safer parking program for visitors to the site. It also addresses ADA loading zone requirements. The Master Plan shows approximately 22 spaces available on site, leaving the need for an additional 100 parking spaces. The primary time for the majority of the church's parking needs will be on Sunday morning. The downtown commercial parking needs are typically at their lowest when the church's needs are highest. The church has contacted Dare's Funeral Home regarding the use of their lot on Sunday mornings which has approximately 45 parking spaces. Dare's and the church are working on a document to finalize this agreement. The church has also contacted the 1St National Bank regarding the use of their lot on Sunday mornings which has approximately 30 parking spaces. The bank and the church are working on a document to finalize this agreement. Is there proposed screening of the site? Existing parking is being utilized and no screening is planned. Proposed building materials How do they comply with applicable design standards? The master plan would utilize a brick matching the existing building's brick in size and color. To complement the brick and other downtown materials the existing white stucco surfaces will be softened by painting abeige/tan color. The incorporation of stonework is intended to complement and tie into the plaza space. Signage The Master Plan shows the church name on the two walls facing Main Street. The signage would be in the form of individual letters attached to the brick surfaces. The size would comply with City Ordinance. A secondary individual letter sign of a smaller size is shown on the east wall facing the public parking lot. Is there outdoor storage The Master Plan calls only for the reuse of the existing recycle center located on the lower level. Screening for the existing recycle center is planned.
