Parking Lot configuration noting the following:
1. Parking stalls were increased from 211 to 267 (including 9

stalls will be allocated to town vehicles.
2. Soil testing revealed that the area has a poor structural
sub-base.

Drainage improvements will include a 2 to 4 foot berm along

A pedestrian/bike path from Elkhorn to MacGregor will be
detailed through the parking lot.
Center islands will include landscaping,
walking paths.
lighting, and
5. The traffic pattern in front of the library will be altered
to allow a right turn only onto Elkhorn Avenue. The
library will have a book drop located at that exit.
Senior Planner Joseph reviewed the proposed landscaping. An attempt
will be made to preserve the existing trees either through relocation
or a reconfiguration of the lot, protecting the existing trees and
sacrificing approximately six parking spaces. The two center islands
incorporate a walking path and trees, the island next to Elkhorn
Avenue will^ remain the samp, and the area next to the Black Canyon
Creek picnic area will incorporate a curvilinear shaped berm.
Commissioner Klaphake supported the proposal for addressing the
issues of drainage, aesthetics, and maximized parking spaces. The
entire Board endorsed the proposed design.
