Several others including Michele Bergh, Jeanine Holmberg, Jenny Mulvany and Darrell Nordland had favorable comments regarding the facility. Parking The former restaurant site has adequate parking with 46 stalls in the front lot, 36 in the rear, and 9 on the south side of the building. Two of the stalls on the south side of the building are handicap accessible. There is an adequate drop-off area to serve the facility. The site has three access point; two entrances off Dodge, and one off a shared drive south of the property in the rear. The shared drive serves two office buildings; one behind the restaurant, and one adjacent. The curb cut of the southwest front entrance off Dodged is misaligned with the driving lane and allows entering vehicles to conflict with parked cars. These 9 parking stalls could be eliminated if adequate parking remains. s:\council\cu98-3.doc
