Re: Bohlender Funeral Chapel While the proposal is exempt from the minimum parking requirements for the proposed office and funeral home land uses, planning staff raised concerns about
an adequate amount of offstreet parking being provided for the land use. According to the TIS, the site needs approximately 17 onsite parking spaces to accommodate the visitors for the
larger services.Therefore, Planning strongly recommended a shared parking agreement with nearby properties to provide additional parking spaces.The property owners reached out to (2)
of the adjacent property owners. 3405 S Timberline Road and 3351 Eastbrook Drive. Neitherowners did not accept the proposed parking agreement for use of parking spaces. The biggest
concern for both were how the agreement could impact potential future tenants and their parking needs. The property at 3351 Eastbrook specifically raised concern how the parking agreement
would impact the purchase of the “condo” offices that are currently on the market for purchase.They also requested to share expenses for repair, snow removal, etc. This wasn’t something
the owners wanted to incur due to infrequency of the large events and the need for the overflow parking. They did acknowledge and offer the off-street parking in the area is frequently
available and could be considered for the overflow needs. Attached are email correspondence from both.The property owners recognize the need for off-street parking for larger events.
These larger services are rare and are often coordinated with a separate facility within the city.
