One of the buildings <br />(Building 1) has a footprint of 8,125 square feet and is proposed to be a 2 story building. The <br />first story is proposed to be retail/office and the second story apartments. The other <br />building (Building 2) has a footprint of 13,124 square feet.

Surface <br />parking is provide in a central court area on the east side of the building. No parking is <br />proposed in front of the building, between the building and Tyler Street.

It is difficult to assess if the proposed parking is <br />adequate. <br /> <br />If, for Building 1, a ratio of 1 space for every 250 square feet is used, then 32 spaces are <br />needed for the 8,125 square feet of office/retail space. That leaves 10 spaces for apartments; <br />with 2 spaces needed for each apartment, 5 apartments are possible. <br /> <br />If, for Building 2, a ratio of 1 space for every 250 square feet is used, then 52 spaces are <br />needed for the 13,124 square feet of office/retail space. Since 51 spaces are provided, the <br />maximum size building allowed will be 12,750 square feet. <br /> <br />Traffic and Streets <br /> <br />Traffic and street issues are included in the City Engineer's two memos.
