PACT Charter School ~Special Events Parking Plan Proposal September 15., 2003 As of this writing, decisions made by the City of Ramsey and the Ramsey Town Center, LLC as to their overall parking management plan have not yet been communicated to PACT. These decisions will affect how PACT manages its own parking needs. To the best of our ability and current understanding, PACT's proposal is outlined below. PACT Charter School has analyzed future parking demands for various anticipated school events. The data used to derive anticipated parking demand is available for review. Each type of event has a unique parking demand determined by who attends the event with how many people per vehicle on the average. The underlying assumptions for these plans have been verified using different resources and other organizations' experience. We are confident that these assumptions give a good idea of what may happen for different kinds of events. The PACT Charter School site will have 152 parking spaces available, including 6 handicapped parking stalls. While we believe this space is sufficient for most needs during the school day and for most of our evening events, some events will generate parking demand that significantly exceeds on-site parking space. From the start of our planning with Ramsey Town Center, LLC and the City we understood that shared parking around the site would allow for these extra-large events. Because we do not have specific plans available for all the parking available adjacent to and surrounding the school site, we must make some good-will assumptions based on earlier discussions. Our plan includes options to use this shared parking space as well as on-street and city-owned parking space. The following table portrays different events we anticipate at PACT Charter School, with estimated number of people in attendance, number of people/car, parking space demand, number of vehicle spaces needed beyond the PACT site, and our proposed action plan to deal with this off-site demand. Action plans are described afterwards. Lesser-attended events are not included in this table. Table 1.
