City Staff <br /> o The city should consider completing a feasibility analysis for parking ramps within <br /> The <br /> COR. The city should get their arms around how much this vision might cost, and <br /> how <br /> it will affect The COR pro-forma. Staff is currently completing a tool-box for pricing out <br /> parking ramps.o At this point, three outstanding parking ramps are still shown <br /> within The COR master plan. Staff believes completing a policy guide/ policy position <br /> for parking ramps within The COR would be helpful (for all parties involved, and <br /> considering The COR). If Ramsey does not take a pro-active stance on parking ramps, <br /> staff believes this strategy will be challenging to implement. <br /> • For example, the city still owns one large parcel of land located northwest of <br /> city hall. Perhaps, the city requires a parking ramp be constructed on this site. <br /> Because we have site control, and time on our side,that process is much <br /> easier to predict/control. Additionally, there are many mixed uses anticipated <br /> within this area that may benefit from a shared parking ramp (i.e. Happy Days <br /> Park, Lake Ramsey, community center, restaurant row, private sector users, <br /> apartments, etc.). We could add the anticipated parking ramp expense to The <br /> COR pro-forma. <br /> • Regarding the other two proposed parking ramp sites (PSD owned), perhaps <br /> the city requires PSD locates/constructs surface parking lots in strategic <br /> locations that could be converted into parking ramps (i.e. add a level or two) if <br /> sufficient market demand is available in the future, and the city can come up <br /> with the funding gap. <br /> Planning Commission <br /> o XXXXXXXXXXXXXX <br /> o XXXXXXXXXXXXXX <br /> o XXXXXXXXXXXXXX <br /> EDA <br /> o XXXXXXXXXXXXXX <br /> o XXXXXXXXXXXXXX <br /> o XXXXXXXXXXXXXX <br /> Environmental Policy Board <br /> o XXXXXXXXXXXXXX <br /> o XXXXXXXXXXXXXX <br /> o XXXXXXXXXXXXXX <br /> Page 4 of 15 <br />
