Based on this shared parking analysis, the proposed site parking supply of 175 spaces would be adequate to meet the peak parking needs of the Crazy Horse Square mixed-use development, including a night club use in the main restaurant, throughout the day and evening, on both weekdays and weekends. PROJECT ACCESS The Crazy Horse Square project is located on the site of the former Crazy Horse Saloon. The site is located adjacent to and immediately south of a two-story office building that is part of the Brookhollow development. The Crazy Horse Square site plan proposes to retain access to the site as it existed when the Crazy Horse Saloon was in operation. Access A is a shared access to Brookhollow Drive with the adjacent Brookhollow office. This driveway is located 260 feet north of Grand Avenue, and allows all turning movements. From this driveway, the driver can enter either the Crazy Horse site (by driving straight ahead) or the Brookhollow office site (by making a left tum). A reciprocal access across the parking areas between the Crazy Horse and Brookhollow sites makes it easy to move from one site to the other, by vehicle or by foot. Access A leads to the parking area located along the north side of the Building 1. The northernmost row of parking on the Crazy Horse Square site directly faces and is adjacent to the southernmost row of parking in the Brookhollow parking lot that will be the subject of the reciprocal parking agreement between the two property owners. A second entrance, to the Crazy Horse site Access B, is located at roughly the middle of the site, on the outside of the bend in Brookhollow Drive, 150 feet north of Grand Avenue. This driveway is currently closed off by fencing around the site. The Crazy Horse Square project will retain this driveway, with some modifications to the internal circulation. All turning movements to and from Brookhollow Drive will be allowed. This driveway will lead to a parking aisle that runs the length of the site and serves both sides of the development. The two parcels within the Crazy Horse Square project will have reciprocal access across both lots, with all parking areas available to customers of either lot. A sight distance check was conducted at Access B, to ensure that a driver will be able to see far enough in either direction on Brookhollow to safely exit the site. Because the driveway is on the outside of the curve, sight distance is facilitated in both directions. Looking to the south (looking left), the driver has a clear view of the road all the way to the signal (approximately 150 feet) and can easily see cars turning from Grand A venue onto Brookhollow from either direction. Looking to north (looking right) the driver has clear line of sight for approximately 310 feet before the curve takes the oncoming car out of view. The trees and hedge along the project edge should be maintained so as to not encroach into the line of sight along the road. Both driveways were evaluated for stacking capacity. Access A is located 360 feet and Access B is located 150 feet north of Grand Avenue. The distance on Brookhollow between the Grand Avenue signal and the site driveways would provide stacking at the signal for approximately 4 in either lane before the queue would reach Access B, and 12 vehicles before the queue would reach Access a. An HCS analysis shows that the average westbound queue at the intersection ofBrookhollow and Grand in the evening peak hour (the highest westbound demand) would be 3.4 vehicles, indicating that the westbound queue would rarely extend far enough to block Access B. If this were to occur, only vehicles exiting Access B and turning left would be affected, and these vehicles would simply need to wait for the queue to clear on the westbound green, or would have the option to go to Access A, which is 200 feet further east. The queuing analysis indicates that the westbound demand is not likely ever to extend far enough to reach Access A. Crazy Horse Square Food and Retail Center - 24- April, 2006 7SAT3120
