These distances; are adequate in terms <br />of the accommodation of vehicular turning movements and storage re- <br />quirements for the proposed facility. <br />Parking Area AnaZysis <br />According to the City of New Brighton parking ordinances, each 150 <br />square feet of building area requires the provision of one on-site <br />parking space. For this proposed development, 60 parking spaces <br />would then be required. It is felt that the provision of 60 parking <br />spaces for.this use is an overdesign and would result in a mis-use <br />of property. In order to determine whether the proposed site plan, <br />which provides 30 parking spaces, will be adequate for this development, <br />an analysis of parking requirements for similar facilities was undertaken. <br />A survey of five typical Minnesota Federal branch offices was conducted. <br />This survey consisted of parking lot occupancy counts and drive-in <br />teller window use. These surveys were accomplished from 10:00 A.M. to <br />7:30 P.M. (in 15 minute increments) on Friday, November 22, 1974. The <br />survey day can be considered to be an average day for these facilities. <br />The following discusses the results of these surveys. <br />Edina Branch - 5105 Industrial Boulevard <br />The Edina branch office has a parking lot capacity of 42. There are five <br />employees at this branch office. The highest occupancy of the parking lot <br />occurred at noon on the survey day. At that time, there were 19 cars in <br />the lot. This included five employee automobiles. The next highest use <br />occurred at 2:30 P.M. when there were 11 cars in the parking lot. <br />During this survey day, there were only seven drive-in teller window <br />customers. <br />Macalester-Groveland Branch - 1827 Grand Avenue <br />This branch office has a parking lot capacity of 23. There are six <br />persons employed by this office. The highest parking lot occupancy <br />observed occurred at 3:30 P.M. when there were 13 cars in the lot. <br />There were 12 cars in the lot at 3:00 P.M. and at 4:00 P.M. There <br />were 21 drive-in teller customers during the day. <br />South Lyndale Branch - 5324 Lyndale Avenue South <br />This branch office has a parking lot capacity of 19 and employs five <br />persons. The highest occupancy of the parking area occurred at 5:15 <br />P.M. when there were eight cars parked. A count of drive-in teller <br />customers was not accomplished at this location.
