Dear Mr. Willer:
At last night's Village Board meeting, you asked that I write and
give you our traffic engineering studies on parking.
We are currently working with seven cars per thousand square feet
of renmable area. Our rentable area approximates 800,000 square
March 3, 1959
feet. Consequently, 7 x 800 ~ 5600 car spaces. Allowing 400 square
i~ ~ feet per car, land use for parki~ is 2,240,000 square feet or
51.42 acres.
Parking at
Carson Pirie We feel that ultimately we will increase this ratio to ten cars per
Shopping Center thousand square feet of rentable area, thus l0 x 800 = 8000 cars.
Assuming 400 feet per car, our land use for parking purposed equals
3,200,000 square feet or 73.46 a~res.
We are aware the parking requirement of the B-5 classification does
not meet the standards of a regional shopping center. It is our
intention to provide ample parking because this facility is the life
blood of any modern shopping center. You will recall the reason for
requesting the B-5 classification was for the purpose of accommodating
those occupancies usually found in regional shopping centers and which
were not provided for in the B-1 classification.
For example: Business and professinal offices, retail service
establishments, community service facilities, including an audit-
orium, etc. Moreover, we felt we could not comply with the 50 foot
height restriction in the other classification.
I hope the above in£ormation is helpful to you. If there is any-
thing further you desire, please do not hesitate to call on us.
Very truly yours,
S/ H. R. Spurway
~ Spurway, upon being questioned~by the Beard, pointed
out that this reques~ was ~o allow additional parking and better
setback of planned buildings. The net acreage exclusive of roads
comes to 100.4 acres.
