Benedictine Health Center at Innsbruck Parking analysis commentary 2/14/2020 In further clarifying the parking need for the facility we took a fresh approach of analyzing the actual parking use. Following are detailed descriptions to accompany the parking analysisspreadsheet. 1. Parking on the residential street to the west, Black Oak Drive, has been an issue with the neighborhood.This is a function of limited off street parking available at the main entry (currently located here). a. The project includes the addition of 13 spaces at the location of the west entry. b. The use of this entrance will be reduced as a new main entry is being planned at the inner location off the reconfigured upper lot. People may park at this main parking lot location and have elevator access to all levels of the facility. c. New signage will be provided to direct visitors to the upper lot. 2. In the accompanying chart you'll see the data separated by time of day as well as category. a. Our original summary stated that the employee load diminishes between the work day and evening hours,when typical visitor load would increase.The data clearly verifies this assumption. Employee parking needs are broken down by specific employee function and the relative staffing for each. Staff parking shrinks from 95 cars during the day to 39 in the evening. b. Visitor parking needs are based on historical reference from staff at facilities within the Benedictine Health System.The chart clearly separates residential and visitor parking needs. Visitor parking grows from 35 during the day to 59 in the evening. c. Specific parking needs are broken down based on resident profiles. Parking needs vary greatly based on the age and care category. Resident parking is consistent throughout the day. d. In 2019 the Benedictine purchased the existing 2 story office building that is located on the south east corner of HWW 494 Service Road and 27th Avenue NW. There are currently 50+surface parking spaces and 2 trash dumpsters located directly north of this office building. This building and parking lot and dumpsters will be eliminated as will the 2 houses that are located directly west of the office building. We project that with the elimination of these three buildings,the daily traffic to this area will be reduced by more that 40 daily trips not including client visits. Trash pick-up will be eliminated. 3. Other general parking notes: a. Staffing will increase by 25. Presently at 70 parking stalls, will increase to 95 parking stalls. b. Garage parking is all assigned. c. Deliveries/Trash are relocated from the upper lot to near the proposed garage entry. d. The frequency of food deliveries and trash pick-ups, and truck sizes shall not vary significantly from present day. The analysis demonstrates that this project is correctly parked based on the proposed staffing, visitor, and resident use.
