Mr. Boling advised that if we went with a $35,000 sq. ft. <br />facility on a raised structure with parking underneath, we could <br />get about 92 spaces on-site. <br />In analyzing the traffic flow situation for both sites, Mr. <br />Boling advised that the City Engineering Department does not see <br />any need for any extraordinary off-site transportation or traffic <br />improvements other than increasing the paving radii at the <br />intersections at all 4 corners of the Grace Lutheran block, and <br />that requirement probably would be applied to the Catron site as <br />well. <br />With regard to the Catron site, Mr. Boling advised that <br />there is an existing median cut that lines up with De Leon, which <br />is to the north of site. The use of a median cut from SR -60 <br />directly into the site is questionable as it would have to be <br />approved by the DOT and would require extensive modifications of <br />the median cut itself. The City Engineering staff has determined <br />that 19th Street is substandard as it is only 18 feet wide and <br />would need to be widened from 23rd Avenue over to 27th Avenue. <br />In addition, 23rd Avenue would need to be widened from 19th <br />Street to SR -60, and that would require the removal of curbing <br />and possibly some large oak trees which grow along the curb. <br />These costs are included in the comparison cost analysis with the <br />Grace Lutheran site. It is also possible that signalization <br />would be needed or warranted at 23rd Avenue and SR -60 or at an <br />entrance right on SR -60. The main concern for the Catron site <br />would be the left -turn maneuvers coming out of the Catron site or <br />out of 23rd Avenue going west on SR -60. There also would be a <br />need for a left -turn lane along 23rd Avenue to stack lefthand <br />turns adequately. Mr. Boling felt we would be looking at <br />acquiring a lot if 23rd Avenue is to be the main route. <br />Referring to a map of the Catron site, Mr. Boling pointed <br />out that almost half of the site is zoned POI, which does not <br />allow a library site, and would require a zoning amendment. In <br />addition, <br />the property down to 23rd would have <br />to be <br />rezoned POI <br />DEC <br />11987 <br />20 <br />BOOK <br />70 FA,E 213 <br />
