Area #2 is 2 spaces short, but the LMC allows on- street parking spaces to count. Overall there is a surplus of 133 parking spaces. PUBLIC COMMENT Council member Jasiak asked how the private spaces on private streets are calculated. Planning Director Russ explained the public will be able to drive and park on private streets, although those streets will be privately maintained by the HOA. The public access of the private streets will be recorded on the Plat, thereby providing public access in perpetuity. Mayor Pro Tem Dalton asked for clarification that the streets will be open to the public, but privately maintained.

Planning Director Russ explained the spaces would be along the following streets: Leonard, Caledonia, Front, Lafayette, Short and the entire length of Cannon Street.
