Q. To Staff - Is the 167 parking spaces based on 500 spectators? <br />A. Paul Wood - Yes. <br />Q. What standard are you using to come up with that number. It would seem to me that a large <br />number of the spectators would be unlicensed children not driving a vehicle? <br />A. We are looking at the Code for that type of use. We have based our recommendation on <br />that. Our concern is how the facility will be impacted by future growth being as it is one <br />of a few in the north Denver, Boulder Valley area. <br />John Knapp, I think I can address some of those concerns. There will be adult leagues and adults <br />will use the facility in the late evening hours. Typically, those groups do not have tournaments <br />and they will not be the focus of spectator events. When there is a tournament, historically, <br />people will be coming from out of town and would be using high occupancy vehicles. We did not <br />try to put any diversity factors into the parking calculations. We are trying to stay within the <br />codes. <br />Q. Is the $100,000.00 what would be required to build the additional 55 spaces? <br />A. That is correct. <br />Q. In your letter, dated September 28, you state that area would hold 120 cars. Is your intent <br />to build the parking, should it be required, pursuant to that number? <br />A. The number of 120 is in error. That was with a double loading configuration. We now <br />have a one and a half loading configuration. We could expand that to about 80 cars, but I <br />think the 120 is an error. <br />Q. If you build the 55 spaces would it take up that entire area? <br />A. Yes, there is 55 shown on the plan. <br />Q. The reserves are going to be restricted, or are they going to be general reserves which are <br />unrestricted? <br />A. It could be either way. <br />Q. Would it not be prudent to redefine the landscaping that is shown on the landscape plan so <br />the potential access to an expansion lot you would not be creating a landscape barrier? <br />A. That is correct. <br />Commissioner Renfrew - On the 20 Ponderosa Pine that are four feet to six feet high, I don't see <br />how those can effectively become a wind break in a reasonable period of time, when the building <br />is already 25 feet high. I think it might not be a wind break but more of an aesthetic break from <br />the blank wall of the Ice Center. You then allocate some trees to the south side where ever the <br />additional parking might be. <br />Q. In the absence of a parking lot, what lighting is going to occur along the south side of the <br />ice arena where the pedestrian walkway is? <br />A. Typically they would be twelve foot high pedestrian lights along that space. <br />Q. Down lights? <br />A. Actually we had not discussed fully lighting this path. This was not planned as the primary <br />path. <br />4 <br />
