HomeMy WebLinkAboutEMAIL - 17-00524 - Carlson Alley & West Main Alley - Parking Lot InstallationGiulliano,
I am responding with a follow up on the plan review for the parking lot
behind Ramirez’ restaurant at 27 W. Main Street in Rexburg.
The Public Works department has concerns about drainage issues with the
lot becoming a paved surface. They need drawings and calculations for
parking lot drainage. Sorry, I was under the impression that it was an
existing but very old parking lot not realizing it was only gravel and
was never previously paved. This situation is supposed to have a permit
as a new parking area from an empty gravel lot. Further discussion with
them has made it aware that under our Development Code, section
5.5.a.viii, parking lots cannot be designed to have vehicles backing
into the public right-of-way. A traffic lane all the way through would
need to be the alternative. The issue of possibly allowing more compact
spaces so full size spaces can be on one side is being discussed. Please
submit a site plan to the building department showing drainage
requirements and a revised drawing without vehicles backing into alley.
