REGULAR MEETING <br />JULY 9, 2007 <br />with the 70 spaces for the flats/professional complex. Howe did you calculate parking <br />needs? What do you suggest as measures to keep customers or employees from parking <br />in the bordering neighborhoods? <br />A: Kite has hired Walker Parking to assist us in the design and sizing of the <br />parking garage to serve the retail, office, apartments, full service hotel, and garage wrap <br />condos. City of South Bend code requires 1287 spaces, and the Walker study showed a <br />peak need for 1,288 spaces. The current design for the parking garage contains 1,281 <br />spaces. In addition to the garage spaces, 44 spaces are in the surface lot at the west edge <br />of the project for total of 1,325 spaces to service these needs. The garage has been <br />designed with convenient access for retail shoppers. The retail space (including <br />restaurants) demands 430 customer parking spaces at peak. There are over 580 spaces <br />located along Eddy Street (between Edison and Napoleon), in the west surface lot, and <br />the ground and level one of the parking garage. These spaces exceed the peak demand. <br />The 162 spaces are in the surface lot south of the limited service hotel service the needs <br />of the limited service hotel and stacked flats. The Cityhomes and Courtyard Townhomes <br />each contain two car garages within each unit. We will further expand on this response <br />during the July 16, 2007 presentation. <br />Mr. Chris Wegner, Troyer Group Civil Engineers, 515 Union Street, Mishawaka, <br />Indiana, addressed questions #2 & #3. <br />2. Q: We heard that the work on SR 23 will not be done for another five years and <br />that none of the planned road extensions will connect to 23 until that work is done. <br />Given that you plan the completion of phase 1 over the next 2 to 3 years, where will all <br />the cars go during the 2 or 3 years that Phase 1 will be complete without connected <br />roads? It appears that all cars will have to exit the development via the triangle area <br />neighborhood or Napoleon to Eddy and from there may be pushed into the University <br />Height/Harter Height neighborhoods due to restrictions on Eddy Street. What redesign <br />can be added to relieve this situation? Can a direct exit from the garage to Edison be <br />included? <br />A: We have been advised that the improvements for State Road 23 are scheduled <br />to be completed in 2012. The first buildings in Eddy Street Commons are scheduled to <br />be completed 2012. The first buildings in Eddy Street Commons are schedules to be <br />completed in Spring 2009. The extension of Napoleon, including the connection to SF 23 <br />will be complete by spring 2009. Until SR 23 improvements are complete, traffic hearing <br />East will stop at SR 23, and be allowed to make a right hand turn onto SR 23. We will <br />further expand on this response during the July 16 2007 presentation. <br />3. Q: You spoke of a traffic study that rate several intersections in the neighborhood <br />at a "C" performance level Is this on a standard A-F grading scale? For comparison, <br />can you provide grades for other intersections? Does the current "five points" <br />intersection score an "F" for example, or is it also a "C"? What assumptions were used in <br />the study? Did you assume all roads were complete, including SR 23? What happens if <br />you put in game-day traffic? <br />A: The standard grades used to evaluate level of service at an intersection are A <br />through F. The Five Points intersection rates at a level of service F today. Most <br />intersections are designed to a level of service C at peak times. To design an intersection <br />for a higher level of service at peak time would be over design for a majority of the time, <br />and is not cost effective. Level of service C is widely considered acceptable. The study <br />assumed the extension of Napoleon, Eddy Street improvements as designed, and the <br />planned improvements to SR 23. We will work with the city of South Bend on the best <br />options to handle game day traffic; however, it is not practical to design the project <br />around 7 days of the year. <br />Mr. Compton addressed the following questions: <br />4. Q: The current Cityhomes along Napoleon extension are in long rows without <br />any break. This can make it difficult to bring any fire that might break out under control. <br />15 <br />
