The lot is not adequate with 45-50 existing parking stalls. He pointed out that the staff doesn't utilize the lot on a regular basis and instead uses street parking. He has witnessed parking in the red zones and also in his driveway. He would like to see additional parking added. Currently the overflow is heavy on Stuart and on Pawnee where he lives. Ms. Whetstone, project planner, indicated the proposed expansions do not significantly increase the volume of traffic at this site. The expansion is to take care of existing clients with a dining room addition, office spaces and a therapy room to provide a service to existing clients, as an added service. She believed there arc two additional parking spaces on the north side by the therapy room.
