Any addition to tl~e building will require a <br />conditional use permit. <br />Site_Dat~ <br />Total land area 40,300 sq, ft..(approx.) <br />Front yard building setbacks 30' <br />Side and rear yard setbacks IO' <br />Buildable area ®25% coverage 10,075 sq. ft.(approx.) <br />Parking regt-ired ®1/500 sq, h.. ~ 20 <br />Parking available 23 <br />Existing building footprint 5,690 sq. ft.(approx.) <br />Allowable expansion 4,385 sq, ft.(approx.) <br />Land area available for expansion 5,900 sq. ft.(approx.) <br />Tl~e major growth needs of the library are in tl~e main stacks and reading areas. The <br />configuration of the building on the site makes the most economical area for expansion to <br />the southwest side of the lot. Wi[l~in the confines of tl~e existing building location and the <br />zoning setback limits, the land area available for expansion is approximately 5,900 sq, ft. <br />upon which approximately 4,385 sq. ft. can be constructed t-ncier the zoning ordinance <br />regulations on maximt-m lot coverage. Tllis amount of expansion shot-!d accommodate the <br />library's operational needs until 2007-2012. <br />Expansion beyond this size will require tl~e acgt-isition of property to tl~e west ancVor north. <br />The actual parking required at peak library times can conveniently be met by the available <br />on-site and adjacent street parking spaces. The times of over crowded parking are usually <br />limited to events such as public meetings for the planning commission and city council. <br />Additional parking may be sect-red through an arrangement on the nearby school property. <br />30 <br />
