Memo to Mayor and City CounciYCU 98-10 <br />May 18, 1998 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />site, utility and grading plan. In order to be certain of the existing site layout <br />the site should be surveyed. <br /> <br />Parking <br /> <br />The facility will be utilizing an existing 47 space parking lot that currently <br />serves the east side of the park. There is also a 54 space parking lot located <br />on the west side of the park with access from Lions Park Drive. There is a <br />total of 101 parking spaces for the park. At the present time parking has not <br />been a problem for the park. <br /> <br />The existing layout for the east parking lot has 11 spaces along the north side <br />of the lot. Because of the increased traffic generated by the boys and girls <br />club, in order to direct traffic safely into the lot it might be necessary to <br />eliminate 2 or 3 of these spaces and install a landscaped island. With the <br />construction of the proposed boys and girls club, parking may become a <br />problem during certain times since the club will be utilizing the east parking <br />lot. However, there is additional space available for expansion of the east <br />parking lot if that becomes necessary. The parking lot should be resurfaced <br />and striped after construction has been completed. <br /> <br />Grading and Drainage and Utilities <br /> <br />Drainage is proposed to be directed overland to an existing off-site swale. The <br />City Engineer is reviewing the grading, drainage, and sewer and water plans. <br />His comments are contained in the attached memo. <br /> <br />Landscaping <br /> <br />With the use of this portion of the parking being intensified, additional <br />landscaping should be provided. The landscape plan shows trees that do not <br />exist. A more formal landscaped entrance drive would be an option as would <br />shade trees around the perimeter of the parking lot and an evergreen screen <br />along the south property line. A revised and accurate landscape plan should <br />be provided for staff review and approval. <br /> <br />Planning Commission Meeting <br /> <br />At the Planning Commission meeting held on April 28th Councilmember <br />Thompson gave an overview regarding the types of activities that will be <br />offered at the club and the age groups the club will target. The club will be <br />open Monday through Saturday; membership will include boys and girls ages <br />6 to 18. Activities offered will include a game room, computer lab, gym, and <br />arts and crafts.
