care facility, the numbers would still be the same as if it were the anticipated standard <br />office use. <br />Commissioner O'Connor inquired what the plan was for the repair of that third lane that <br />is currently closed. <br />Mr. Tassano replied that the repair is planned for the spring. He explained that the soil <br />in the road expands and contracts, creating dips and keeps the road sinking. He <br />indicated that staff is looking at an innovative solution that would limit the expansion and <br />contraction by pumping some material like a silicon foam into the sub -base to solidify <br />that surface. <br />Acting Chair Blank stated that he wanted to make sure for the record that the project <br />meets all the requirements for parking as he did not any exceptions for that. <br />Ms. Rondash confirmed that the project meets the Code requirement for parking and <br />that no exceptions are being requested for parking. <br />Commissioner O'Connor inquired what the Code requirement is for parking. <br />Ms. Rondash replied that the Code is broken down into requirements for bedrooms: <br />two or fewer bedroom units are required to have two spaces for the first four units and <br />then 1.5 spaces for the remaining units; units with four or more bedrooms require two <br />spaces per unit. She noted that the site meets those requirements and also provides <br />for 24 guest parking, which meets the requirement. She added that the covered parking <br />requirement is met as well. <br />Mr. Dolan noted that the site is adjacent to a commercial parking lot so if there is ever a <br />day when there are more cars than usual, that parking lot is available as opposed to <br />going across the street to the residential neighborhood. <br />Commissioner O'Connor inquired if there is a reciprocal parking agreement between the <br />two properties. <br />Ms. Rondash said yes. She indicated that those are the 22 spaces already accounted <br />for in the 122 surface uncovered parking spaces. <br />Commissioner O'Connor noted that there would really be no place else for cars to go if <br />the calculations are wrong and the site ends up with more cars; there is no parking <br />allowed on the surface streets like in a regular residential neighborhood. He inquired if <br />there is a reason why the City did not look for a larger number on the reciprocal parking <br />or if ValleyCare was not interested in going beyond the 22 spaces. <br />Mr. Dolan replied that 22 is the number that exists in the current arrangement. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, November 14, 2012 Page 26 of 31 <br />
