Discuss Downtown Plan Parking Update and parking alternatives. 2. Other Items. CITY HALL: 216 NORTH FOURTH STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 55082 PHONE:651-430-8800 Memo To: Downtown Parking Commission From: Steve Russell, Community Development Director Date: December 11, 2003 Subject: Downtown Plan Update Parking Alternatives Attached is information provided by the Downtown Plan Update Consultant. From the plans and figures, the Mulberry and Second Street site provides the most parking for the least cost. However, the City does not own all the land that the strucutre would be constructed on. The Second Street alternative (between the Lowell Inn and Rivertown Commons) producers approximately the same number of spaces as the Mulberry Lot but the spaces are more expensive. The Second Street lot has the added benefit of providing shared use for Third Street uses. The Water and Myrtle Street site is provided for DTPC consideration At meeting time, the Downtown Plan Update information can be considered for recommendation to the City Council. Attachments: Downtown Parking Alternative Information NOTE: Bring the Downtown Plan Update from the last meeting.

Arial photos were used to scale the dimensions of the sites and the resulting conceptual designs are intended to maximize parking at each location. Also provided is an estimate for the construction cost for each facility.

To ensure they all can all be opened and viewed, I am sending them in three parts. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks. Debra Lee SEH-Mpls (See attached file: Ramp Myrtle & Water Street (Ground Level) .pdf) (See attached file: Ramp Myrtle & Water Street (2nd Level) .pdf) (See attached file: Myrtle and Water Street.pdf) (See attached file: North Stillwater Parking Study.pdf) 1 Myrtle and Water Street Parking Ramp The decking of the present Lumber Baron parking lot assumes a site with the south boundary, the north property line of Myrtle Street, and the north boundary,the north property line of Commercial Street extended east to approximately-Ahe RR tracks. The west boundary is the east property line of Water Street and the east property line is extended easterly to obtain a width of 120 feet. This width will provide for two double loaded bays of parking resulting in the maximum efficiency and creation of the maximum number of parking spaces. The foot print of this ramp is approximately 120' by 240. The ramp is a two by two way traffic facility with a sloping floor beginning at grade at Myrtle and rising 10 feet at approximately Commercial Street. The west bay is flat along Water Street. Parking is tucked under the elevated bay along Water Street with access to the bay off Myrtle and Water Street. The resulting parking ramp contains 150 spaces. Should previous schemes for the development of the Commercial Street extend as a pedestrian connection between Main Street to Lowell Park be desired, the ramp could be shortened from 240 feet to approximately 200 feet and still maintain the 5% slope desired to allow parking in the sloped deck. Additional levels could also be added to the ramp if additional parking spaces were desired. A preliminary cost estimate for the one level facility would be $1.5 million for 150 space ramp based on normal soil and bearing conditions and substantial attention to architectural and fagade treatments. z EVEL ROL � r F-L !J Nmn1 lj � kl � r I It i / } i li \ I &1-o C �/lIv�1CJ- 1 � 11 !1{ r EAST � YRTLE STREIET t I r' LUMBER 1 RAWLEVEL ISTALLS i GROUND LEVEL 94 ! , BARONS - 2ND LEVEL 56 V HOTEL TOTAL X50 -� 2ND LEVE MYRTLE & WATER STREET 56 SfALLSL 12DECEM FIM NORTH STILLWATER PARKING STUDY SCALE:Y=50' iff-Mm'ip i ; t 3+ CAN mom EAST TLE STRI ET s LUMBER RAS LEVEL STALLS BARONS — GROUND LEVEL 94 I 2ND LEVEL 56 sr HOTEL TOTAL 150 MYRTLE & WATER STREET GROUND LEVEL uD � NORTH STILLWATER PARKING STUDY SCALE:1"-50' �, Mulberry and Second Street Parking Ramp The Mulberry and Second Street Parking Ramp utilizes the elevation change from Second Street to Main Street and consists of three independently functioning flat floor decks. Each flat deck is approximately 180' x 210'. Access to the first level slab on grade is proposed as a two way thru the existing parking lot easterly of the three story building on Main Street. The traffic circulation is two-way parking bays totaling 109 spaces. The second level is a structurally supported concrete deck with two-way access off Mulberry and operates with two-way parking bays with a total of 108 spaces. The third level has two-way access off Second Street and also has internal two-way parking bays. Access to the abutting building from all levels of this ramp would be possible depending on how floor elevations match. The cost for this parking facility that will accommodate 325 spaces is estimated at S2.8 million. Any skyway connection would add cost to this facility.

This ramp location is situated to serve the downtown business community as well as the churches along 3`d Street. The facility would extend approximately 210' along 2nd Street to enable a sloping floor circulation deck and have a width of a 120' to accommodate two double loaded parking bays. The resulting parking ramp is described as a two-bay double threaded helix ramp with traffic circulation one-way. Minimal excavation will be made on the steep slope at the west edge of the site to prevent ground water and slope stability problems. Ingress is proposed adjacent to the Lowell Inn and egress is proposed at the northerly end of the facility. The one-way up and down sloping floors system would include crossovers in the middle of the facility at selected levels enabling parkers to cross over from the up and down systems to find a parking space. A flat deck could be extended from Third Street at the existing elevation of 750 feet and access could be made from both 3rd Street and the sloping floor ramp. The 3rd Street deck is shown in a rectangular parking configuration which could be modified. The estimated cost of this 343 space facility is S5 million. Special attention would be required due to the proximity to the Lowell Inn and the Downtown Historic District and this has been anticipated in the cost estimate. 1 TOP LEVEL CONNECTS TO SURFACE PARKING LOT c�fyYarY .�. �Y � H { .
