with the use of the house as the SNBA office and as an Energy City demonstration site. SNBA and Energy City functions, unless done jointly like an open house, will not be scheduled at the same time. For example, Energy City will not schedule a tour at the same time the SNBA has a committee meeting scheduled. It should be noted that it is human nature for someone making a quick stop at a location to park in the most convenient spot. In this case, it may be perceived as the cul-de-sac. Without signing the entire cul-de-sac as no parking, it will be difficult for the city to enforce off-street parking requirements. It will be up to SNBA staff to educate builders not to park on the street so it doesn't become an issue with their Interim Use Permit. Available Parking 10 - total parking stalls are available on site 3 - garage stalls will be provided with the house, which will accommodate the three SNBA employees 5 - vehicles can be accommodated in the driveway 2 - additional parking stalls are proposed in the front yard of the house using porous pavers. These grid-like pavers support vehicles while still allowing grass to grow through, giving the appearance of lawn. The porous pavers are removable, which will be done after the three years that the house will be used as a demonstration site is completed. 10 - additional parking stalls are available on Lot 28. Block 2. N ordic Woods Greg N os co, a builder in Nordic Hills and the current owner of Lot 28, block 2, which is adjacent to the proposed Energy House III lot, has offered to keep this lot open to accommodate parking. SNBA is proposing to use porous pavers to create a fifty by fifty foot parking area with a thirty-foot wide drive into it. The remainder of the lot will be planted in grass and maintained. The overall effect of the pavers will make it look like a grassy vacant lot when it is not being used for parking. As previously mentioned, a street light at the end of the cul-de-sac in this location should be sufficient to light this parking area. Staffs recommendations on parking will reflect the fact that the city can't ensure that this arrangement will be sustained for the full three year life of this project. SNBA functions Employees and Builders - 4 to 5 parking stalls are needed on a typical day. Most stops at the SNBA office by builders are very short in duration. On a typical day, the three SNBA employees would park in the garage stalls and one or maybe two builders' vehicles would be in the driveway at any given time. Committee Meetings - as many as 10 to 13 parking stalls, in addition to what is typical, are needed to accommodate the largest committee meetings (Board of Directors and Sales & Marketing). These meetings will have to take place elsewhere if parking on Lot 28 is no longer available.
