ENGLEWOOD STATE BANK Off-Street Parkin g CASE #3-67 Planning Director Romans stated that Chief Building Inspector Wallace has referred the matter of the of f-street parking plan for the Englewood State Bank to the Planning Commission for their consideration. The case has previously been considered in June, 1966, but that request was not approved because the Commission members felt they needed more information fr om the Chief Building Inspector about the number o f parking spaces that would be required. Mrs. Romans read the foll owing letter: "January 18, 1967 City of Englewood Englewood Colorado Gentlemen: Attn: Mr. Wallace Re: Englewood State Bank Building As you requested we have analyzed our calculations regarding parking for the Englewood State Bank Building. Our preliminary working drawings indicate 64,275 square feet net rentable area which requires 214 parking spaces under your ordina nce. We have, however, provided only 183 spaces on our drawings f or the fo llowing reasons: P ag e 946 (a ) Approximately 5,000 square feet of the banking premises is devoted to vault, interior stairs, conference rooms, lunch rooms, and bank lobby. (b) Because approximately 40% of the building is devoted to the bank, less parking was deemed to be necessary because of drive~in facilities provided. (c) Because of the in and out nature of banking customers, the parking stalls are 9 f eet rather than the standard 8 feet for ease and speed of parking. (d) Fourteen spaces o f off street waiting area are provided on the site fo~ the drive- in stalls. If you consider our 183 stalls plus the 14 stalls in the drive-in, we provide 197 .spaces which is adequate, providing the 5,000 square feet mentioned in (a) above is not considered as net rentable area. On the other hand, if it is mandatory that there be 214 stalls we can redesign the stalls to 8 feet and redirect the drive-in and provide these 214 stal~s. We would appreciate your favorable approval of our plan. If you have any questions we, the owners, and representatives of the Englewood S tate Bank will be at the meeting to answer them. Sincerely , ALAN PETERSEN & ASSOCIATES s / Jack Blackstock Jack Blackstock" Mrs. Romans then read the f ollowing memo fr om Beryl A. Wallace: "PARKING FOR THE ENGLEWOOD STATE BANK Attached is a letter f rom Alan Petersen & Associates in which they have indicated the parking f or the new bank building and taking into consideration of the use of the this building as 40% bank use and 60% office use . It would seem the 183 parking stalls and 14 stalls in the drive-in area for this building would be adequate. In talking to the architects they have indicated that they have provided 9 ft. stalls instead of 8 ft. stalls which are sometimes provided. The turnover in the bank portion is much greater per day so in my opinion the parking should be adequate. We have attached a parking layout showing 183 stalls plus 14 in the drive-in area. This data is submitted f or the information o f the Planning Commission for consideration of the parking layout. Sincerely, /s / Beryl A. Wallace Beryl A. Wallace" Mr. Muhrer stated the 183 spaces mentioned in the letter from Mr. Blackstock will not be available to Bank employees. Parking for all employees of the bank will be provided on a site owned by the bank on South Sherman S t reet. Mr. Muhrer stated that 70 persons are now employed by the .Bank. Mr. Rice asked if the area devoted to vault space had been excluded from the net rentable floor area? Mr. Nicholson replied the net rentable area was 64,275 square feet minus 5,000 square feet which is non-rentable area on the flo ors devoted to the Bank. Brief discussion f ollowed . Mr. Woods questioned the 18 foot maneuvering spaces shown on the plan. Mr. Rice also questioned the 25 fo ot curb cut shown as 60 feet fr om the intersection of Bannock and Floyd with interior parking as near the point of ingress as is indicated. He felt this could cause considerable traffic congestion. Mr. Carlson stated he felt the access to Cherokee Street should be widened. Discussion followed .. The staff recommendations were requested. Mrs. Romans pointed out several areas in which the physical layout of the plan was unacceptable to the staff. 1. The curb cuts f or the parking lot are too near the intersection. 2. The 18 foot width of aisles is completely inadequate. The minimum recommended range is 20 to 29 feet. 3. The direction of the internal traffic flow should be determined. 4. The turning radii proposed is very restrictive. 5. The location of parking spaces in some places are too near the points o f access. The Director suggested that possibly officials of the Bank could work with the Planning Depart- ment staff in an attempt to solve these problems of design. Rice moved: Carlson seconded: Discussion followed. The Planning Commission approve the number of parking spaces designated (183) in relation to the rentable building spaced on net rentable area of 64,275 square feet less 5,000 square feet non-rentable bank area, and that a written statement be obtained from the property owner assuring the City that adequate off-street parking will be provided for employees o f the bank at another location; and that the matter of ingress-egress and other traffic movement problems be considered further by officials of the Englewood State Bank and the Planning Department staff. The motion carried unanimously. I I I I I I IV. J . F. FERGUSON 2740 W. Union REZONING R-1-C to I-1 Page 947 CASE #l-67A Mr s.

At the meeting January 17, 1967, an offici~ of HUD was the guest speaker.
