-2- There is a parking lot behind the building that could if designed, properly accommodate 26 parking spaces. It should be noted that there are two other tenants in that building that use this area for their off-street parking. This area of 26 spaces results in the following parking dificiencies: 1) 1 space per 2 seats - deficit of 74 spaces 2) 1 space per 5 seats deficit of 14 spaces 3) 1 space per 3.5 seats - deficit of 31 spaces The parking lot across the street is City owned and cannot be con- sidered a "Municipal Parking Lot". It is a parking lot for a City owned business - the liquor store and the parking spaces are needed (required) for that liquor operation. There are only 37 spaces on the west side of the liquor store building and even if they were surplus would not meet the above deficiencies except #2. Dances & Juvenile Usage The New Brighton Police Department and Liquor Department have voiced their concerns about this proposed use in the attached memos. An area business owner also has submitted a letter because he is unable to attend the public hearing and would like it made a part of the record. These letters address the other two issues of police involvement with dances and the mix of juveniles with the liquor store operation. The applicant has stated that he desires an operation for adults but staff is concerned that his desire would not be realized. There is no law that staff is aware of to restrict minors from using this facility. The applicant, because of the dances would have to hire an off-duty policeman to monitor the operations. SUMMARY The major objection to this proposed use based on the zoning code is the lack of 40 to 75 parking spaces that would be required for this type of use. RECOMMENDATION To recommend denial of SP-104 by waiving the reading and adopting the attached resolution.
