Subject: Mitigating Measures
Dear Jeri and Melissa,
In anticipation of the upcoming Planning Commission hearing on May 12th, we have come
up with some new mitigating measures that may address the. City's concerns about safety.
I would like to run these ideas by the two of you and get your input. I would like for
these items to be incorporate into your Staff Report prior -to the Planning Commission
Hearing on May 12th.
It goes without saying that we would agree to comply with all suggested recommendations
in the Omni-Means Parking Study dated February, 2009.
First, we are proposing, at our sole cost and expense, to fund the implementation and
construction of an illuminated embedded flashing light system (embedded in all four sides
of the crosswalk) that would be automatically activated each time a pedestrian crosses
the intersection at St. Patrick Way and Amador Plaza Blvd.
Second, to further expand on Omni-Means recommendation we would propose that each
new member of the health club would be required to review and sign, as part of their
membership agreement, an acknowledgment indicating that --hey will agree to park in only
designated overflow parking areas of the center and use only the crosswalk located at
the intersection of St. Patrick Ways and Amador Plaza Roac' to access the Fitness Club
from the overflow parking.
Third, signs would be installed in the parking areas further directing health club members
where to and where not to park. The idea is to keep all overflow parking as close to the
St. Patrick Way / Amador Plaza Road intersection as possible. This in itself would deter
people from walking across Amador Plaza Road.
Fourth, although we do not think it would be very effective, we would agree to construct
a barrier along the west side of Amador Plaza Road betweei the first and third driveway
entrances.
Fifth, I believe can also pick up about 8 to 9 parking spaces by allowing tandem employee
parking in the current truck loading area. Since employees working the same shift would
come and go at the same time this does not pose a significalt inconvenience for
employees.
We are sincerely trying to address your expressed safety concerns. I believe we are in
agreement that the site can support the parking demand at peak periods. I would also like
to point out that Thomasville as a 12,500 square foot furniture user does not require the
same parking demand that a normal retailer would need. In addition, it should be noted
for the record that the Rigatoni's is a 2,000 square foot restaurant user who generates
approximately 30% of its business from take-out sales which also creates less of a
demand for parking at peak periods.
We appreciate the opportunity to discuss these items with you prior to the preparation
of the staff report and well in advance of the May 12th hec.ring.
Best Regards,
Robert
