/7 and left-turn lanes on Dogwood Acres Drive at the US 15-501 intersection. Traffic calming measures are also proposed along Dogwood Acres Drive. The proposed park includes an internal street between the Park and Ride Lot and the proposed entry/exit on US 15-501. The Town is proposing to dedicate and maintain this roadway as public right-of--way. As currently proposed, this internal street includes a traffic calming device. We recommend that prior to the issuance of a Zoning Compliance Permit, the Town Manager review and approve the design and construction standards for this proposed public street, including any proposed traffic calming measures.. Ve/licu/m• Par/cir:g. The Special Use Permit application is for a public use facility (community park) and a public service facility (conununity recycling center). The Land Use Management Ordinance specifies minimum parking requirements for a public use facility at 1 parking space for every .350 square feet of floor area. Based on the proposed 4,000 square feet of floor area (public use facility) the minimum number of on-site parking spaces required is 1:3. The Land Use Management Ordinance does not specify minimum parking requirements for a public service facility (1,000 square foot recycling center building). The proposal includes 229 parking spaces, The main on-site parking lot, located in the north portion of the site near the future recycling center, is proposed to have 158 parking spaces. A second, 65 space parking lot is proposed near the youth baseball field, nn the south side of Dogwood Acres Drive. A 6 space parking area is proposed near the maintenance building. We believe, based on the Town's past experience in operating public ttse facilities and the anticipated need for additional parking associated with a future community center/recreational facility, that the proposed 229 on-site parking spaces is reasonable, Based on field observations of the Park and Ride Lot, the Town anticipates that parking for an additional 100 vehicles can be accommodated in the Town Park and Ride Lot when it is not in use. The applicant anticipates that the 158 parking spaces in the north lot and the available overflow parking spaces in the Town Parlc and Ride Lot will acconuuodate the parking needs for the firture Conununity Center.. Bicycle Access/Parking: The minimum number of required bicycle parking spaces is generally calculated as 10 percent of the minimum number of required parking spaces. hi this particular case, as described above in the section on Vehicular Parking, the minimum number of parking spaces (1.3) is not adequate to serve the needs of the proposed development. Therefore the Town as applicant is proposing 229 parking spaces. We recommend that the required minimum bicycle parking spaces be calculated as 10 percent of the applicant's proposed 229 parking spaces (30 bicycle parking spaces). The applicant is proposing four bicycle racks including a total of 40 bicycle parking spaces. We recommend that the applicant provide a minimum of 40 bicycle parking spaces (8 Class I and 32 Class II).
