[00:15:18]
OUT. >> THIS IS MORE WHAT WE ARE
LOOKING FOR. >> THEY ARE NOT GOING TO PAY ANY ATTENTION THINGS AND ASKED PEOPLE TO WEIGH AND AND THEN WE WERE FINE FROM THERE.
TERRIFIC. >> ONE OTHER THING. I'M SURE YOU ALL SAW IT. THE LAST TIME I WAS HERE
CHRISTMAS PARADE. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BILLBOARD ? WE WILL . ISEVERYBODY SEEING THAT?
ITEM FOUR. >> GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
PUBLIC SAFETY BUILDING OPENED IN 2022, ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES THAT WE HAVE FACED THERE IS PARKING . ANY TIME WE HAVE A TRAINING THERE AT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, WE HAVE A
[00:20:01]
SPECIAL EVENT FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE STORM SHELTER OPEN AND THAT TO PUT IT IN PERSPECTIVE, AROUND THE PUBLIC SAFETY BUILDING, THERE ARE 60 APARTMENT SPACES. IN PERSPECTIVE, YOU HAVE 300 AT THIS LOCATION ROUGHLY. SO JUST IN COMPARISON THERE. WE WERE HAVING TASER TRAINING AT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PHOTOS. THE PARKING LOT IS FULL. THE PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE , IS THERE IS NOWHERE FOR THE PUBLIC TO PARK. IF WE HAVE A TRAINING EVENT , THERE ARE 19 SPACES IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING.AND IF WE HAVE 25 PEOPLE THERE FOR TRAINING, THERE IS NOWHERE FOR THE PUBLIC TO COME AND PARK AT THE PUBLIC SAFETY BUILDING.
I'M NOT SAYING THIS IS SOMETHING WE HAVE TO TACKLE IMMEDIATELY. BUT THIS IS SOMETHING WE NEED TO PLAN FOR, FOR THE FUTURE . AND IMPROVING PARKING AT THE PUBLIC PARKING SAFETY BUILDING. CURRENTLY, THE SHELTER , THE STORM SHELTER HAS A STANDING CAPACITY OF 150, AND 50 SEATED. IF 50 PEOPLE SHOWED UP AT THE PUBLIC SAFETY BUILDING, THERE WOULD NOT BE ANYWHERE FOR 50 PEOPLE TO PARK . NOT WHEN YOU HAVE TAKEN THE CITY VEHICLES AND PERSONAL VEHICLES AND THE PUBLIC'S VEHICLES AS WELL. WE ASKED TO ANYTHING WE CAN DO FOR PARKING AT THE PUBLIC SAFETY BUILDING? SHE PUT TOGETHER FOR US THREE CONCEPT DRAWINGS . POTENTIAL DESIGNS, FOR PARKING. AND THE COST. THE POSSIBLE COST THAT IT WOULD COST TO IMPROVE THE PARKING THERE. SO I WILL LET MARIANNE COME UP AND TALK ON THOSE DIFFERENT DESIGNS . AND YOU ALL CAN WEIGH IN ON ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.
>> GOOD EVENING . >> LET ME GET US OVER THERE.
>> SO WHAT WE DID , AFTER A MEETING WITH THE CHIEF AND HIS TEAM WAS EVALUATE HOW THEY WOULD PREFER TO ENTER AND EXIT AND HOW THE PARKING WOULD BE DIVIDED , I SUPPOSE IS A GOOD TERM. I'M GOING TO -- WE TOOK AN AERIAL. THIS IS JUST A GOOGLE EARTH IMAGE. WE JUST DRAFTED WHAT YOU SEE HERE AS THE EXISTING PARKING . THIS RIGHT NOW IS ACTUALLY THE DRIVE OFF OF THE SIDE STREET. WE LOOKED AT -- THEGRADE DROPS SHARPLY RIGHT HERE. WE LOOKED AT, HOW CAN WE ADD PARKING ON THE BACKSIDE HERE . MAYBE EVEN PERHAPS OVER HERE. WE DETERMINED THE BACKSIDE WAS PROBABLY MORE OF A VIABLE OPTION . IF I TOGGLE HERE , WHAT WE DID WAS, IN ORDER TO DOUBLE THE CAPACITY -- AND I CAN'T SEE WHAT THE ACTUAL NUMBER IS HERE -- BUT THE REQUEST WAS TO HAVE SOME COVERED PARKING AND SOME NOT. HOW DO WE GET FROM THIS LEVEL TO THIS LEVEL. RATHER THAN BUILD AT THE SITE, WE HAVE TO BUILD UP ABOUT FOUR AND HALF FEET UP. IT IS PRETTY STEEP CLIMB. WHAT WE DO IN ORDER TO BE MORE COST-EFFECTIVE IS WE WOULD DROP DOWN TO THAT GRADE AND LEVEL IT OFF AND RAMP DOWN TO THAT LEVEL VERSUS FILLING IN WITH NEW SOIL AND RAISING IT UP SO THAT IT IS EVEN. THAT IS COMPLETELY DOABLE. WE DON'T HAVE TO ACCOMMODATE HANDICAPPED PARKING. WITH CODE, WE WOULDADD ONE MORE SPOT RIGHT HERE . BUT WE WOULD HAVE STEPS HERE AND STEPS ON THE OTHER SIDE AND THIS SHADED AREA HERE IS PROPOSED TO BE COVERED PARKING. WE WILL KEEP THE GATE HERE AND ENTER THIS WAY. ONE MORE SPOT HERE . AND TRAVELED DOWN THE RAMP HERE AND PARK HERE AND TRAVEL UP AND USE THIS EXISTING SIDE EXIT TO GET
OUT. THIS IS ONE VERSION. SURE. >>
[00:25:09]
>> THE ELEVATION HERE ALSO IS LOW. LOWER .
SPACE. >> WE WOULD HAVE TO DETERMINE THE ACTUAL COUNT. BUT THIS IS TOTALLY DOABLE . WE JUST
>> MAYBE GOOD OVERFLOW PARKING THERE TOO.
>> YOU CAN ACCESS. PUT ANOTHER DRIVE HERE , OR OVERHEAR. IT IS DOABLE FOR SURE. IT IS JUST NOT SOMETHING WE HAD TO CHECK IN
>> SURE. ABSOLUTELY. >> REALLY, TONIGHT WAS JUST TO PRESENT THIS IDEA AND LET YOU ALL KNOW THE CHALLENGES THAT WE
>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
