or a playground and is primarily used for informal sport games, casual gatherings, and dog -walking. The Century House and grounds are separated from the park by a six-foot high open -design, metal fence. The fence has a pedestrian gate and vehicular gate, however there is no public access to the Century House from Tanager Drive. The site has a variety of tree species and mature landscaping, and many of the trees would qualify as Heritage trees. Trees flank both sides of the drive aisle as you enter the site from Santa Rita Road and continue to the parking lot. There are ten parking spaces to serve the existing site, none of which meet the minimum requirements for accessibility. Another large grouping of trees are located on to the south of the house and outdoor patio, and at the southeast corner of the site. Parkinq Options All parking options retain vehicular access from Santa Rita Road and incorporate an emergency vehicle access (EVA) from Tanager Drive. The existing fence separating the Century House and park would need to be relocated in each option to accommodate the expanded parking area. This would prevent patrons and guests of the Century House from parking on Tanager Drive. Staff has developed four site plan options (see Attachment 3): Option 1: This option provides a total of 31 parking spaces (one van accessible, one accessible and 29 standard size parking spaces). The existing parking spaces and striping would be modified to provide two accessible parking spaces. The existing drive aisle would extend and create a new parking lot at the northwest corner of the site, adjacent to Tanager Drive. A vehicle turnaround would be provided at the end of the parking lot to prevent a dead-end. This option would require the removal of 11 trees, including one very large tree at the end of the existing drive aisle, but would have the least impact on the existing neighborhood park. Option 2: This option. provides a total of 27 parking spaces (one van accessible, one accessible and 25 standard size parking spaces). The existing parking spaces and striping would be modified to provide two accessible parking spaces. The new parking lot configuration is similar to Option 1 but pushes the new parking lot away from the adjacent single-family home. A vehicle turnaround would be provided at the end of the parking lot to prevent a dead-end. This option would require the removal of three trees. The existing width of the park and useable area would be reduced to accommodate the new parking lot. Option 3: This option provides a total of 22 parking spaces (one van accessible and 21 standard size parking spaces). The existing parking spaces and striping would be modified to provide one accessible parking space. The new parking lot configuration places the parking behind the Century House, parallel to the street, and furthest away from Tanager Drive. A pedestrian access from the parking lot to the existing rear patio is provided, and a vehicle turnaround at Page 3 of 5
