Recommended Action: Motion to: Approve concept of a temporary parking lot in Huntington Central Park to serve Shipley Nature Center and general park users. Alternative Action(s): Do not move forward with temporary parking lot for Shipley Nature Center at this time. REQUEST FOR ACTION MEETING DATE: 2/7/2005 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER:CS05-008 Analysis: Councilman Gil Coerper presented an "H" item at the November Council meeting requesting staff to explore the possibility of constructing a temporary parking lot to serve Shipley Nature Center. The temporary parking lot is proposed to be located within an undeveloped area of Central Park west of Goldenwest Street, south of Shipley Nature Center, and north of the disc golf course. The master plan for this sixteen-acre site includes trees, turf, family picnic shelters, and a large parking lot. This permanent parking lot is intended to serve these sixteen acres, provide overflow parking for the developed park to the west, and parking for buses and autos at the Shipley Nature Center. Therefore, the proposal for a fifty-vehicle, temporary parking lot is consistent with the master plan. Attached are copies of the master plan for Central Park as well as the subject sixteen-acre site (Attachments 1 and 2). Access to the parking lot would be off Goldenwest Street, north of the Talbert/Goldenwest intersection (Attachment 3). It would hold approximately fifty cars, similar to the other small parking lots throughout Central Park. Because it would be temporary, the parking lot surface would be gravel with bollards and chain, rope or cable (to be approved by Zoning Administrator) around the perimeter to prevent automobiles from accessing the remainder of the park. The project has been reviewed by the city's Development Assistance Team (DAT) to insure that it meets the conditions for a temporary parking lot including addressing water quality issues. It has also been reviewed by the Design Review Board which addressed materials, use of trees between the parking lot and Goldenwest Street, etc. The Friends of Shipley Nature Center (FSNC) have done a remarkable job of renovating the Shipley Nature Center, and the parking lot will make the facility more accessible for not only the volunteers, but also the general public. Staff recommends approval of the concept because it supports the FSNC's effort, and provides additional parking for the remainder of the developed park, which is severely impacted during the summer, and periodically at other times of the year. The proposed location for the temporary lot will not impact current park uses or programs. Handicapped-accessible parking will continue to be provided in the existing parking lot on the west side of the park that is currently used by the general public to access the nature center. Planning staff has indicated that this would be acceptable if an additional space were designated at that lot for the disabled. Staff has met with FSNC President, Juana Mueller, and the master plan architect, Guy Stivers. The FSNC concurs with the concept of putting in a temporary parking lot. They are willing to provide volunteer assistance and seek donations to help offset the cost to construct the parking lot. Staff estimates the cost not to exceed $11,000, which will be reduced by any assistance provided by the FSNC. The amount of this assistance has yet to be determined because the FSNC has just begun seeking donations of materials and labor. Staff is recommending that the Park Acquisition & Development Fund be used to cover the cost not addressed by the FSNC. Staff is now bringing the project to City Council to determine if Council wishes to move forward with the project. if Council does decide to move forward, the project would then go to the Zoning Administrator on February 16 for the Temporary Conditional Use Permit. A timeline is provided in Attachment 4.
