APRT '1989 BOOK 76 FACE 0`11 e) stated that there really is no standard that you go by, but they suggested 125 spaces for the public and 20 for staff for a total of 145. The proposed scheme shows 154 parking spaces which is more than adequate. They also tried to get as many parking spaces on the 21st street side as possible and a lesser number in the 22nd Street lot behind the building because they feel the primary entrance to the building will be from the 21st Street parking lot since 21st Street is a thoroughfare. As to the ingress and egress of vehicles on the site, they basically agreed they want the traffic to come off a minor street; so, they have created the major curb cut on 17th Avenue and just put a single curb cut there. Commissioner Eggert asked how far that curb cut is from 21st Street, and Mr. Ugowski believed it is about 120'. Commissioner Eggert noted that there will be an entrance into the existing stores off 21st St. We have to leave that open for now but will close it off when the stores are gone. Question arose as to whether a curb cut off 17th Avenue will be sufficient to handle all the traffic going into the parking area south of the building when this is finished. Mr. Ugowski advised that they originally had a curb cut on 16th and one on 17th, but the City was concerned about cars speeding on through that thoroughfare and felt that one curb cut would be sufficient. He noted, however, the library traffic is generally less hectic than in other places such as a shopping mall, for instance. As to the rear parking area shared by the church, they will be using the existing curb cut that is currently 22nd Street, and to avoid the thoroughfare aspect, they put the second curb cut at the north end of that parking area on 16th Avenue. Commissioner Bird asked how they plan to handle the sewer line that is running through underneath the building. 14
