She noted the proposed height of the accessory structure is one foot higher than the house but this would not be a problem as no additional fill will be brought onto the property. Also, they will be required to obtain an auxiliary driveway permit from our engineering department.

OLD BUSINESS: REVIEW AND RECOMMEND TO CITY COUNCIL —THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION AND RESTRICTIVE COVENANT FOR A 5.9 ACRE PARCEL LOCATED SOUTH OF VICKERS ROAD (A.K.A. 99 STREET) AND WEST OF THE F.E.C. RAILROAD Ms. King reviewed the annexation, land use and zoning change for this property. She explained that the commission recommends an appropriate zoning and land use for the property. This was done and recommended that both land use and zoning be industrial with a covenant that would run with the land. This covenant would restrict some of the industrial uses that would normally be allowed. The annexation was presented to City Council which approved the three ordinances on first reading, the annexation, land use and zoning. However, City Council asked that the covenant be reviewed by Planning and Zoning prior to the second reading. Staff believes that the covenant does meet the intent of the Planning and Zoning Commission. Mr. Cardinale asked the applicant for comments. Mr. John Malek, Vero Beach, FL, representing Bridgeton Properties made himself available to answer any questions. Mr. Simmons and some other commissioners were concerned about the industrial uses that would still be allowed under the covenant. Mr. Ginsburg explained the issue. There is no specific zoning category strictly for storage facilities. The covenant could have been written that the property will be used for storage facilities and ancillary use, or uses ancillary thereto, but wasn't. What they did do was review the industrial zone uses, and struck out a number of them. The covenant is in proper legal form and can only be done as a voluntary declaration restrictive covenant by the property owner, not a government body. Mr. Ginsburg added if a government body were to write a restrictive covenant it would be considered contract zoning and that's not permitted. We are allowed to accept a tender of a voluntary restriction that the owner's placing on his own property. It runs with the land, it binds the bank in case it is foreclosed, it binds subsequent purchases, and we can accept it and we can enforce it once it's accepted. 2 PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF DECEMBER 3, 2009 The recommendation to the city council should be based on only what the Commission has before them; a parcel of land to be designated industrial zoning with a restrictive covenant that strikes out a certain number of uses otherwise permitted in that category. Mr. Cardinale invited anyone from the public to comment or ask questions. Beverly O'Neil, Breezy Village Mobile Home Park. She reviewed a meeting park residents had with Mr. Malek and noted a few allowed uses that were not restricted in the covenant but she thought should be, such as vehicular sales, service and maintenance, as well as trade and skilled services. She also thanked the city for sending out all the meeting notices. Tim Snarley resident of Breezy Village Park is concerned that anything not specifically prohibited can be allowed. Mr. Malek explained that the units he is proposing do not contain water or electric. He added that they do not allow anyone to work on vehicles or run a business out of the units. The RV storage area only has one outlet and one light per space. Ms. Grohall added if this parcel were to remain in the county the zone designation CI or heavy commercial could actually hold a concrete or rubber processing facility or any number of less desirable uses. The city has more control over this parcel through annexation than what would otherwise occur. Mr. Dodd stated that he personally does not condone industrial uses next to residential zones. Mr. Neuberger expressed concerns about uses that could be allowed in the industrial zone. Mr. Cardinale asked Ms. Grohall to point out on an aerial map other industrial zone areas in proximity to the mobile home park. She noted five parcels. MOTION by Cardinale /Hepler to recommend city council accept the restrictive covenant and approve the annexation with an industrial land use and zoning. ROLL CALL: Mr. Neuberger yes Mr. Dodd Mr. Hepler yes Mr. Simmons Mr. Cardinale yes The vote was 3 -2. Motion passed. no no Mr. Cardinale informed the public that this item will next go to City Council and Ms. Grohall said it will be on the December 16, 2009 agenda as a public hearing at which time both the Planning and Zoning recommendation will be read into the record and the public is welcomed to give their input for or against the project.

Flood prone land and wetland preservation: provided 18: Surface water management: provided 19: Available potable water: Indian River County Utilities 20: Wastewater service: Indian River County Utilities 21: Soil erosion, sedimentation control and estuary protection: provided 22: Additional considerations: The original Seawinds Funeral Home site plan was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission on May 1, 1997. The conditional use permit was approved on May 15, 1997. After several years of operation, application was made for approval of a crematorium at the site as an accessory use to the funeral home. That minor modification and conditional use was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission on March 6, 2003. The first draft of the site plan had located the crematory in the southeast corner of the 6 property. The final approved plan included relocation of the crematory to the northeast corner of the property, adjacent to the Elks Club property, so as to minimize the impact to the potential residential development adjacent to the rear of the property. On November 4, 2009, a fire destroyed the existing crematorium. Per our Land Development Code, the owner has the right to rebuild the building exactly as approved on the site plan dated March 6, 2003, with no additional site plan review needed. However, the owner wishes to expand the building by an additional 500 SF. Therefore, staff has scheduled a public hearing by the Planning and Zoning Commission to review the proposed request. 23. Other Matters: Other agency comments are attached for your review. For informational purposes, staff has included an aerial photo of the property and a copy of the approved site plan for the proposed townhouse development to the east of this site. The property immediately to the south will be developed commercially, and has no site plan approval at this time. Although this property is part of the Chesser's Gap Planned Unit Development, it was never formally platted. Last year during the site plan process for the townhouse development, the City required a "catch -up" plat to include a number of parcels in the PUD that had not been platted. Unfortunately, the Seawinds property did not join in with the "catch -up" plat. Staff has advised the owner that no further development orders will be processed until a final plat is recorded for the property. In the interest of time, staff accepted the application for site plan modification with the understanding that application for final plat must be to received before the Planning and Zoning public hearing. The final plat application has been received on December 23, 2009, and is currently being reviewed. Staff recommends the site plan modification be approved subject to final plat approval by City Council before a Certificate of Completion is issued for the crematorium by the Building Department. 24. Conditional Use Permit: The conditional use permit has already been granted for the crematorium. A condition of approval states the following: "Screening: All side and rear yards abutting residential districts or uses shall be screened in accordance with the standards established in section 54 -3 -14.16 of this ordinance." In keeping with that condition, the mandatory Type "A" buffer has been extended to accommodate the larger dimensions of the proposed building. 25. Conclusion: The proposed project is consistent with the comprehensive plan, land development code and code of ordinances. 26. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the Seawinds Crematory Addition at 735 S. Fleming Street, subject to the following: 1. Provide St. Johns River Water Management District Permit, or letter of exemption. 7 PR RED BY 2. Comply with Department of Health comments regarding DEP Air Emissions permit. 3. Comply with Building Department comments regarding specifications for crematory and cooler. 4. Final plat approval by City Council before a Certificate of Completion is issued for the crematorium by the Building Department. 8 DATE 12/11/2009 RANDY L MOSBY, PE 610 1ST STREET SUITE 102 VERO BEACH, FL 32962 Application Description: Application Number: File Number: Tax ID#: To Whom it May Concern Indian River County Fire Life Safety Bureau 1800 27th Street Vero Beach, FL 32960 PH: 772 226 -1880 FAX: 772 978 -1848 RE: Project Name: SEAWINDS CREMATORY Project Description: RECONSTRUCTION OF THE CREAMTORY BUILDING WITH AN INCREASE OF BUILDUNG AREA OF 500 SQ FT FOR TOTAL SQ FT OF 7,244 SQ FT Project Number: 2009120009 SEAWINDS CREMATORY 64752 31- 38 -13- 00006 0000 00004.0 1.

Michelle Morris, Chief of Police Upon review of the site plan modifications for Seawinds crematory I have a few concerns. It appears the building will be larger with an additional burner as well as being in the same location, in close proximity to the Elks lodge. My concerns are with the recent fire on Wednesday November 4 where the flames of the crematory were very near the Elks structure. This fire could have spread if it wasn't for the quick response of the fire department. While on scene I was approached by members of the Elks lodge who were worried and stressed upon rebuilding if the crematory could be moved to another location, not quite so close to existing structures. My suggestion would be relocating the crematory to the other side of the building.

Because of the unique use of the site as a "biker bar the applicant has requested consideration of a parking standard which will allow two motorcycle parking spaces to be equivalent to one automobile parking space. The engineer of record has provided backup to support this request which is attached for Planning and Zoning review. Section 54- 3- 15.3(c) states, "Requirements for uses not identified. The parking requirement for any use not specified shall be the same as that required for a use of a similar nature as recognized herein; or where not recognized herein, shall be based on criteria published by the American Planning Association or similarly recognized standards of their profession and such standard shall be approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission." Neither the Land Development Code nor the Parking Standards of the American Planning Association establish a motorcycle equivalence ratio. The information which has been provided refers to various standards used in other cities. Staff feels the standard is fair and that the design of the site plan parking maximizes the parking potential of the site to the fullest extent possible. Staff continues to urge the owners to pursue additional parking offsite to meet their parking needs during special events.

Additional considerations: As stated on the site plan, this building was constructed in 1946 and has been operated as a bar for at least 25 years. Because of the age of the building, no formal site plan has ever been submitted for the entire site. Over the last ten years, a number of minor modifications have been administratively approved by past Growth Management Directors which included a bathroom addition, outside seating area, eastern motorcycle parking and a handicap accessible bathroom. Earlier this year, the owners began construction of a deck over a low area on the property. The area was being used for retail purposes, but was unsafe during or following rain events. After meeting with the Building Department and Growth Management staff, the owners agreed to prepare a comprehensive site plan showing existing conditions and proposed improvements. The Building Director allowed the completion of the decking for safety purposes, subject to zoning approval. If zoning approval is denied, the deck must be removed. The proposed site plan modifications include the deck area, a brick paver walkway to provide handicap access in the outside entertainment area, a paved handicap parking space and additional motorcycle parking. In addition, the site plan shows all existing improvements to the site including structures, drainage, parking and landscaping. 24. Stormwater: The existing stormwater plan has been reviewed and accepted by St. Johns River Water Management District. See letter from Gretchen Reinertson dated September 21, 2009, which is attached. 25. Conclusion: The site plan is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, and Land Development Code. 26. Recommendation: 1. Staff recommends approval of a motorcycle equivalence standard of two motorcycle parking spaces to be equal to one automobile parking space for a biker bar. Each motorcycle space shall be a minimum of 4' x 8'. 2. Staff recommends approval of modifications to Earls Hideway as shown on the site plan prepared by Robert W. Marshall, latest revision date of 11/10/09, which includes a brick paver sidewalk, 7 wood deck, handicap parking space and additional motorcycle parking. 8 /1 0 DATE September 21, 2009 Sincerely, Robert W.

Dear Mr. Marshall: The St. Johns River Water Management District received your site plan and letter of request for a permit determination on August 28, 2009. Additional information was received on September 14, 2009. The plan reflects the existing site improvements and the existing topography. It is my understanding that the building and stabilized parking were originally constructed in the 1940's or prior to the District's stomiwater rule criteria. A total of 1,067 sf of building area were added between 2003 and 2005. Wood decking, a bar, covered tables, and a bandstand were also constructed in the last few years. No further site improvements or drainage modifications are proposed at this time. Pursuant to 40C- 42.022, F.A.C, and Environmental Resource Permit is not required for the existing site improvements. Please feel free to contact me at (321) 676 -6602 or via e -mail at greinertson ansirwmd.com if you have any questions concerning this determination. leld Gretchen Reinertson, Engineer Department of Water Resources cc: RIM John Juilianna Janice Unger Douglas C.

W.D. Cottrell 1 ABSTRACT DEVELOPMENT OF MOTORCYCLE PARKING DESIGN GUIDELINES There is little guidance on motorcycle parking design in the U.S. This is partially because motorcycles comprise only about 2.5% of the traffic stream, and 0.3% of all highway travel. Parking design concerns include parking stall dimensions, the minimum number of auto spaces needed to warrant motorcycle parking, the proportion of all parking spaces that are for motorcycles, and the motorcycle automobile "equivalency" factor. A Google" survey identified 46 agencies in the U.S. with online motorcycle parking regulations. A lack of uniformity was revealed in all of the areas of concern Based on an assessment of practices and motorcycle related data, the following are recommended: motorcycle parking stall dimensions of 4.5 ft by 8 ft, 1 motorcycle parking stall per 24, 36, 48 or 60 auto stalls, depending on the State, and an equivalency factor of four motorcycles per auto. To develop a more comprehensive set of guidelines, further study is needed on local and regional motorcycle registrations, parking angles, parking charges, the location of motorcycle parking relative to automobile parking, parking rates based on land use measures, and the advantages of a parking "area" g a p kmg area versus marked stalls. As this study concentrated on U.S. agencies, it may be useful to examine and integrate international practices. INTRODUCTION One of two methods is typically used to determine the number of spaces needed to accommodate a given development's motor vehicle parking demand. In one method, the motor vehicle modal share is integrated into a trip generation model to ascertain the peak number of parking spaces needed. In the other method, empirical data on parking needs by land use are used to estimate the number of spaces needed. Nearly every local and municipal government in the U.S. incorporates parking space needs criteria into their respective codes. There is no consistent set of criteria or parking design geometry, but many entities use the Institute of Transportation Engineers (1), and National Parking Association publications (2, 3). The Americans with Disabilities Act includes requirements for accessible and van accessible parking spaces; these have been adopted by all entities having parking governance. Despite these references and requirements, there is a similar lack of uniform guidance on motorcycle parking space needs and design in the U.S. Many agencies express the motorcycle parking space requirement as a fraction of the automobile parking space requirement, rather than on any empirical, modal share or trip generation analysis. (Note: This study was limited to the U.S.; it is recognized that motorcycle parking has been addressed extensively in other countries, such as the U.K., where the ratio of motorcycle to automobile ownership is much greater than in the U.S. The paper does not attempt to apply motorcycle parking standards from other countries). As a related issue, there is little common ground in the design of motorcycle parking stalls in the U.S. This paper investigates two aspects of motorcycle parking: the number of spaces needed in a given situation, and stall geometry. A Google" search on various forms of "motorcycle parking," restricted to U.S. websites, was performed. More "formal" searches using the Transportation Research Information Services (TRIS) and Compendex were attempted. TRIS and Compendex searches on "motorcycle parking" produced 17 and 20 "hits," respectively. Of the TRIS hits, only one article, on parking fees in Taiwan, was partially relevant to the subject matter of the study. Similarly, only one of the Compendex articles, on parking demand in Hong Kong, was partially relevant. The author observed that the "Google" search accessed numerous policy and code documents from governmental agencies, thereby providing results that were more valuable to the study than those of the more `formal" searches. The findings were as follows: Most agencies express the off-street motorcycle parking space requirement in the form of a percent of the number of automobile parking spaces required. There is a lot of variation in the motorcycle parking spaces to auto parking spaces ratio. TRB 2008 Annual Meeting CD -ROM Paper revised from original submittal. W.D. Cottrell 2 Most agencies do not require off-street motorcycle parking when the number of automobile parking spaces is less than a certain threshold. The value of the automobile parking threshold varies substantially. Many agencies "credit" motorcycle parking spaces on the basis of an equivalence factor between motorcycles and autos. The value of the motorcycle- automobile equivalence factor varies considerably. Many agencies specify the dimensions of a motorcycle parking stall. The specified dimensions of a motorcycle parking stall vary quite a bit. Some agencies require the provision of a motorcycle parking area, rather than a certain number of stalls of specified dimensions. The dimensions of the motorcycle parking area vary between agencies, as does the choice between providing an area or a specific number of stalls. RESULTS QF THE REVIEW This paper examines motorcycle parking practices, and offers some suggestions for uniform guidance. Several search parameters were used to expand the "Google" survey to a wide array of sites. The survey was admittedly informal, but a lot of useful information was obtained. A total of 46 municipalities, counties, States and other government agencies providing specific information on motorcycle parking were "hit" in the survey, of these 34 provided motorcycle parking stall dimensions, and 35 indicated a motorcycle parking spaces requirement. A list of survey "participants" is presented in Table 1. Communities and counties in California, Florida and Washington tended to dominate the survey "responses." The data obtained are summarized in Table 2.

Nine agencies indicated a motorcycles "equivalency factor." The value is the number of motorcycle parking spaces that must be provided to gain a "credit" or that can be substituted for one automobile parking space. Five agencies required and specified the dimensions of a motorcycle parking area. The required size ranged from 56 to 306sgft.

MOTORCYCLE PARKING SPACE DIMENSIONS 3 A few agencies were requiring motorcycle parking as a function of the size of a given land use, rather than (or in addition to) as a proportion of automobile parking spaces. For example, the City of Pleasant Hill, California requires one motorcycle parking space per 10,000 sq ft of commercial, office or industrial development. The City of San Diego, California requires 0.05 motorcycle spaces per dwelling unit (DU) for residential developments of 400 sq ft or less, 0.1 motorcycle spaces per DU for one- to four bedroom residences of more than 400 sq ft, and 0.2 motorcycle spaces per DU for residences with five or more bedrooms. The City of San Jose, California requires one motorcycle space per 4 DUs in multi-unit dwellings, one motorcycle space per 20 residents in group living developments, and one motorcycle space per 15,000 sq it for community service developments. Some agencies specified varying motorcycle parking space proportions for different land uses. For example, the City of Eloy, Arizona required one motorcycle space per ten automobile spaces for swap meets, auto repair facilities, car washes, service stations, farmers' markets and lubing services, and one motorcycle space per 20 auto spaces for manufacturing, assembly, production, wholesale sales, warehouses, and waste- related uses. The following sections discuss the various motorcycle parking practices, and offer some suggestions for guidance. The required size of a motorcycle parking space ranged from 2.5 by 6.25 ft (15.625 sq ft) to 4.5 by 12 it (54 sq ft). The most "popular" size was 4 by 8 ft, used by eight agencies. Research on motorcycle sizes revealed a lack of convenient summaries. The Motorcycle Industry Council reported that 90% of the U.S. motorcycle market was dominated by nine manufacturers between 2004 and 2005: BMW, Ducati, Harley Davidson, Honda, Kawasaki, KTM, Suzuki, Triumph and Yamaha. Just over one million motorbikes were sold in the U.S. in 2005, of which 64% were "street" bikes, 27% were off-road machines, 6% were scooters, and 3% were for dual or other purposes. Based on these data, the technical specifications of these motorcycle types by the aforementioned manufacturers were studied. Wheelbases ranged from 36 in for the 2000 Mini Adventure 50 scooter from KTM, to 69.2 in for the 2008 FXCW Rocker from Harley- Davidson. Handlebar widths ranged from 26 in for several Honda, Suzuki and Yamaha models, to 36.5 in for the 2006 -07 Roadliner and Stratoliner models from Yamaha. Alroth (4) reported that typical motorcycles have wheelbases of 4.5 to 5 ft, and overall lengths of about 7.5 ft. The author concluded that TRB 2008 Animal Meeting CD -ROM Paper revised from original submittal. W.D. Cottrell 4 "the use of an 8-ft stall length will accommodate the vast majority of motorcycles." Alroth also noted that "cycles can readily be parked in 5 -ft wide stalls. A 10 ft aisle width is ample." Figure 1 shows a plan view of a motorcycle stall having dimensions of 3 ft 4 in by 7 ft (5). This stall is on the "small" side; based on the preceding analysis, the ideal stall would have a width of 4.5 ft and length of 8 ft (area 36 sq ft). No agency was using these exact dimensions, although eight were using 4 ft by 8 ft stalls, and one was using 4.5 ft by 7 ft stalls. As mentioned above, five agencies were designating motorcycle parking areas based on the criteria shown in Table 3. Four agencies were using an area of 56 sq ft, in which two to three motorcycles could fit comfortably. For three of these agencies, a motorcycle parking area was required only if at least 25 to 26 automobile stalls were provided. Santa Ana, California designated the largest motorcycle area, at 306 sq ft, providing room for 9 to 19 motorbikes. The area was not required, however, unless at least 250 automobile stalls were provided. Larger motorcycle parking areas were required per incremental increase of 25 to 250 automobile stalls. The capacity of motorcycle parking areas was not investigated. It is likely, though, that a certain "jam" density of motorcycles is possible with efficient parking by the users. One possible arrangement is shown in Figure 2; note that there are no designated parking stalls, but the owners have generated an efficient motorbike placement scheme. Further study is needed to determine the advantages of marked stalls versus designated parking areas. Also, it was noted that none of the agencies made size or area adjustments for the slope of the parking area. One factor in designing sloped stalls would be heightened motorcycle maneuverability challenges. Further study is needed on this issue. 3 R. 4 In. 3 ft. 41n.

Cottrell FIGURE 2 Hollister, California motorcycle rally (www.khulsey.com/ motorcycles /custom_J7 hollister motorcycle rally.hnnl) AUTOMOBILE PARKING SPACES THRESHOLD 5 Year 2005 motorcycle registrations in the U.S., by State, were tabulated with respect to registrations of other vehicles. The results are presented in Table 4. There were a total of 6.18 million motorcycles registered in the U.S. in 2005, with just over 50% located in California, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin. The ratio of the number of autos, pickups, vans and sport-utility vehicles (APVS) to motorcycles is also shown in the table. The values range from 14.03, in Colorado, to 220.00, in the District of Columbia. These ratios serve as indicator of the motorcycle parking demand relative to the automobile parking demand in the respective States. An application of the Freedman Diaconis method for bin widths, shown in equation [1 suggested bin thresholds at increments of 12. That is, the method suggested APVS motorcycle ratio thresholds of 24 (10 States), 36 (13 States), 48 (13 States), and 60 (15 States, including the District of Columbia and other outliers). Other threshold schemes are possible.

As shown in Table 2, the Google search hit agencies in 15 States. No agencies from the six States having the lowest APVS- motorcycle ratios were included, unfortunately. The ratios were compared with the motorcycle parking policies of the agencies. There was little agreement between the ratios and the policies. For example, the APVS motorcycles ratio was 55.24 in North Carolina, but the city of Brevard was requiring one motorcycle parking stall per 20 automobile stalls. Similarly, the ratio was 100.39 in Arizona, but the city of Eloy was requiring one motorcycle per 10 or 20 auto stalls, depending on the land use. The study did not investigate local and regional differences in motorcycle registrations, so these are not reflected in the analysis. A few agencies were in agreement with statewide ratios, however; Albuquerque, for example, was requiring one motorcycle stall per 30 auto stalls, while the statewide ratio was 38.43.

State W V VA AZ DC USA der Lake, Illinois was requiring one motorcycle stall per 25 auto stalls, while the statewide ratio was 31.24. A deeper investigation of these comparisons would be useful, including local and regional motorcycle registrations data, and parking code information from additional agencies. Adherence to the thresholds developed above suggested the following: 1 motorcycle stall per 24 auto stalls (10 States) one agency in one State with data, and it neither adhered to nor exceeded the recommended threshold. I motorcycle stall per 48 auto stalls (13 States) 22 communities in five States with data, of which three adhere to the recommended threshold, and eleven exceed the threshold. 1 motorcycle stall per 60 auto stalls (15 States) three communities in four States with data, of which three exceed the recommended threshold. Of the 35 agencies examined on this topic, 25 either met or exceeded the recommended APVS- motorcycles ratio. Most of the agencies studied, therefore, were relatively "generous" in their motorcycle parking requirement. MOTORCYCLE EQUIVALENCE FACTOR APVS/Motorcycles 74.71 82.68 100.39 220.00 37.89 Nine agencies expressed an equivalency factor between motorcycles and automobiles. The purpose of the factor, in each case, was to give the parking provider a formula to determine if an agency's parking regulations had been met. The data are summarized in Table 2. Four of the ..encies stated that four motorcycle stalls equal one automobile stall. Two were using an equivalency of three motorcycle stalls, two were using an equivalency of two motorcycle stalls, and one was using an equivalency of 1.33 motorcycle stalls. The basis, in general, of the equivalency factors is the number of motorcycles that can fit into an automobile stall. If an auto stall is 8.5 ft wide and 18 ft long, for example, having an area of 153 sq ft, and a motorcycle stall consumes 36 sq ft, then four motorcycles should be able to fit comfortably. Thus, agencies using an equivalency factor of less than four were potentially awarding parking providers "too much credit" for motorcycle stalls. This could be perceived as a motorcycle &iendly policy. Figure 3 demonstrates a compact marked motorcycle parking stalls design. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS Agencies Reviewed 0 1 2 0 44 7 To develop a complete set of guidelines on motorcycle parking, several other issues should be considered. Some of these were revealed during a cursory scan of assorted motorcyclists. "blogs." Parking charges are one concern: some motorcyclists argued that parking should be free because of motorcycles' reduced energy and space needs. Others argued that if a fee is levied, it should be less than that of automobiles, based on the reduced demand for space. Parking area protection is another issue: for example, there were TRB 2008 Annual Meeting CD-ROM Paper revised from original submittal. W.D. Cottrell FIGURE 3 Marked motorcycle parking stalls (http /en. wikipedia.orgAwiki /Image: Motorcycle, parking jpg) concerns expressed about exposure to the elements, as well as to damage by errant, full-size motor vehicles. The maneuvering of a motorbike in and out of a space is also an issue, as noted above. Some motorcyclists admitted having difficulty backing into or out of a 90 stall. The University of California, Riverside, for example, was using a 60 motorcycle stall parking angle (6). The availability of motorcycle parking stalls was another concern. A survey in Portland, Oregon revealed that 24% of motorcyclists did not ride as often as desired because of a lack of parking (7). The finding suggests that local parking needs may not be suitably reflected in statewide vehicle registration data. Hence, there is a need for local and regional databases that can be used to ascertain the true parking demand. Motorcyclists in the survey, as well as in various blogs, also raised accessibility and safety concerns about the placement of parking relative to auto parking. Finally, the location of parking within a parking facility may also be an issue; for example, in some cases, motorcyclists may have trouble finding their "area." CONCLUSION There is currently a lack of consistency in motorcycle parking design, as well as in the number of stalls provided in a given situation. This study revealed that the following were in use by various agencies in the U.S.: twelve different motorcycle parking stall dimensions, nine different minimum automobile parking thresholds, nine different motorcycle -auto parking proportions, and four different motorcycle equivalency factors. Further, motorcycle space requirements usually did not match the corresponding State's ratio of registered full-size motor vehicles to registered motorcycles. The following are recommended: Motorcycle parking stall dimensions: 4.5 ft by 8 ft Motorcycle equivalency factor: 4 motorcycle stalls 1 auto stall Motorcycle parking stalls: o 1 per 24 automobile parking stalls in Colorado, Idaho, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming, 8 TRB 2008 Annual Meeting CD -ROM Paper revised from original submittal. W.D. Cottrell 9 o 1 per 36 automobile parking stalls in Alaska, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Washington. o 1 per 48 automobile parking stalls in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, and Utah. o 1 per 60 automobile parking stalls in Arizona, District of Columbia, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Carolina, Texas, and West Virginia. A more comprehensive study is needed, however, to validate these recommendations, examine current practices and policies, and incorporate issues such as parking locations, charges, and orientation angles. Further study is also needed to understand local motorcycle parking space needs, as well as parking rates based on land use quantities. Although international motorcycle parking practices were not incorporated into this study, these deserve consideration. For example, Zhang et al. (8) reported that motorcycles accounted for 63% of all registered motor vehicles in China in 2001. Cornelis et al. (9) suggested that motorcycles and mopeds accounted for 15% of all registered motor vehicles in Belgium in 2000. In accommodating the greater demand, it is likely that motorcycling parking policies and practices in these and other countries are more advanced than those in the U.S. REFERENCES 1.
