In order to improve the parking situation on the hotel site,
the owners have initiated a valet parking system. This system has
been designed in consultation with Coyne-Kangesser Parking, Inc. , a
parking consulting firm from Cleveland, Ohio.
Presently there is a central point located adjacent to the
main vehicular entrance from King Street. Upon arrival, guests are
given a claim check and the car is valet parked on site.
Upon completion of the office building, this valet system
will expand to utilize the second level of the office parking
garage. To coincide with Hotel use, a valet person will be
assigned full time to the second level to insure that the office
building tenant requirements are property served.
The efficient joint use of the office and Hotel parking
areas will greatly enhance the availability of parking for the
Hotel. The Hotel has a special need for space during the evenings
and on weekends. The office garage can serve this need since it
will be put to limited use by the tenants during these periods.
The vehicular movement of traffic on the site as described
is shown on the plans submitted.
We are continuing our discussions with the parking
consultants to ensure maximum usage of the site during the
construction phase.
Your thoughts and consideration are appreciated.
---Yours very truly,
Eric 3: Gervais
