parking lot has 140 parking slots. According to the Citys own off-street
parking schedule, NSA currently creates a parking demand of approximately 100
parking slots. (NSA is beginning to spill over into other downtown buildings
already).</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'">Although NSAs
building is small (approx 13,000sf.) it creates a need, as it operates now,
for a parking lot approximately 2/3rds the size of the entire Jackson Street
parking lot.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'">According to the
Citys own parking schedule if the AT&T building were being used by an
unclassified retail businesses, it would generate less than 1/3rd of NSAs
parking traffic.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'">Having familiarized
myself with several off-street parking schedules it appears that
Colleges, in general, can generate significantly more traffic per square foot
of floor area than ! do many ordinary retail
uses.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'">NSA is essentially a
non-tax paying special-interest group receiving parking entitlements from
general municipal tax dollars, and as a result is interfering with the parking
rights of small retail shop owners and the access rights of community users
who are entitled to first priority in parking for commercial, cultural,
retail, and entertainment purposes, according to the Citys own Comprehensive
Plan. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'">If NSA enlarges or
expands, or if other colleges operate within the CBD, a need for an expensive
tax-payer financed multi-story parking structure could easily be
created.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'">One of the traditional
reasons Citys exempt downtown business owners from off-street parking
requirements and impact fees is because Comprehensive Plans ordinarily
prioritize and reserve downtown space for activities which serve the general
population instead of only serving the needs of non-tax paying
special-interest groups. <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City
w:st="on">Moscow</st1:City></st1:place>s Downtown i! s simply not a place
where special interests should find shelter from their obligations to pay
their fair share of parking-development costs.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></DIV>

the City Council feels sympathy for NSA which moved Downtown after being
specifically instructed not to operate in premises without zoning
certificates, then how much sympathy does the City Council feel for nearby
small business owners who had no notice that NSA was operating without the
proper credentials, and further, how much sympathy does the City Council feel
for the entire community who is paying tax dollars to subsidize a special
interest which is interfering with the parking opportunities of general area
commercial users.</SPAN></DIV>

if NSA eventually expanded to the median size of other private not-for-profit
liberal arts colleges it would have an enrollment of 2000 in the downtown
core. Under the current off-street parking schedule this would,
progressively, generate the need for 1,340 government subsidized parking
slots, through small gradual incrimental amendments to its
CUP. (If the City lacks the political will to prevent the subsidy of 100
parking! slots, then where will the City draw the line? 200, 300,
?). Perhaps we can rely upon NSA's representations that it will never
change its enrollment policy, perhaps not.</SPAN></DIV>
