Parking Areas <br /> <br />Proposed are three parking areas in addition to pull-off parldng along the park access road. <br /> <br />a) <br /> <br />The largest is centrally located within the recreation area. The 17,000 square foot parking <br />lot will accommodate 60 standard size vehicles. The primary destination would be the <br />athletic fields, play area and pond. <br /> <br />b) <br /> <br />This parking facility will be circular with a landscaped center island and will accommodate <br />approximately 35 standard size autos. <br /> <br />c) <br /> <br />This parking lot may be constructed in conjunction with the proposed Environmental <br />Education (EE) facility. Ultimately, it will be needed for the above use. However, there <br />will be an overflow aspect due to varied time-related parking demands. The parking lot <br />will count as 20 spaces for other recreational destinations besides the EE facility. If it is <br />needed prior to fund availability for the EE site, the parking area could be graded and Class <br />V gravel applied. This parking lot should accommodate buses. <br /> <br />Urbanization may result in more park users participating in shared rides and sustainable modes of <br />travel. In addition, increasing fuel and transportation costs should mean that the proposed 200+ <br />parking spaces will be adequate. The 200 space figure includes "pull-off' or angled parking along <br />the park access road, but does not count bicycle, motorcycle and bus allowances. The following <br />assumptions are used in determining parking needs: <br /> <br /> · One Soccer/Football Field <br /> 11 to 20 individuals associated with each team l <br /> assume shared rides and alternate transportation <br /> · Three Softball Fields <br /> 15 individuals associated with each team <br /> assumed shared rides and alternate transportation <br /> · One Baseball Field <br /> Baseball activity may have more driving age <br /> participants. 30 total individuals <br /> · Tennis Courts <br /> (four court configuration) Ultimately, there may be <br /> an addition of another set of four courts. This may <br /> not cause additional parking space demands due to <br /> doubles play, neighborhood use, etc. <br /> · Passive Activities and Spectators <br /> Assume ten families during peak periods <br />Total minimum parking spaces required based on peak period needs: <br /> <br />25 spaces <br /> <br />50 spaces <br /> <br />20 spaces <br /> <br />10 spaces <br /> <br />10 spaces <br /> <br />115, (18'X 9') spaces <br /> <br /> <br />
