<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 150%"><FONT face=Arial size=2>New Saint Andrews College
has met the Moscow City Council's requirement to supply 42 parking spaces,
fulfilling the Council's parking mitigation condition placed on the College's
conditional use permit. <BR></FONT></P>
<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 150%"><FONT face=Arial size=2>"We're pleased to be able
to move forward and put the parking issue behind us," said Bob Hieronymus, the
College's Executive Vice President.<SPAN> </SPAN>"We've not only met the
city's requirement, we've exceeded it." <BR></FONT></P>
<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 150%"><FONT face=Arial size=2>In September last year
the Moscow City Council ruled that the private, Christian college could not
grow to its planned 200-student limit until 42 parking spaces were provided
for either inside or outside the Central Business District.<SPAN>
</SPAN>The "NSA Parking System," announced by College officials today,
provides for 60 parking spaces.<SPAN> </SPAN><BR></FONT></P>
<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 150%"><FONT face=Arial size=2>"We really don't need
that many spaces," explained Hieronymus.<SPAN> </SPAN>"We're just trying
to go the extra mile." <SPAN> </SPAN>From the beginning, the College has
recognized a need to provide 23 spaces at its full-enrollment of 200 FTE
students and 25 FTE employees.<SPAN> </SPAN>"That's the difference
between the maximum the city's formula says we need – which is 65
–<SPAN> </SPAN>and the number of spaces that the city says a more
typical use of our building would generate, which is 42," explained
Hieronymus.<SPAN> </SPAN><BR></FONT></P>
<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 150%"><FONT face=Arial size=2>"So when the city said we
needed to supply 42 spaces, it seemed disproportionately high to us. But we
simply want to put this issue behind us…and we think the people of Moscow have
had enough of it too," said Hieronymus. <BR></FONT></P>
<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 150%"><FONT face=Arial size=2>"The response from the
community has been very heartening," Hieronymus continued. "As we shopped
around for parking arrangements, people were very supportive and helpful. And
the approach we've taken in using under-utilized existing parking lots is also
the most environmentally-friendly," Hieronymus added. <BR></FONT></P>
<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 150%"><FONT face=Arial size=2>The College's attorney
will be submitting the plan to the City's Community Development Office
today.<SPAN> </SPAN>New Saint Andrews has budgeted $15,000 a year for
its Parking System, which includes lease payments for the 60 spaces.
<BR></FONT></P>
<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 150%"><FONT face=Arial size=2>The NSA Parking System
focuses on existing parking lots that are under-utilized in the downtown area
and on bus routes, in addition to the short-term public parking in the nearby
Jackson Street Lot.<SPAN> </SPAN>The plan's 60 spaces are distributed
across the following locations: <BR><BR></FONT></P>
<UL style="MARGIN-TOP: 0in">
<LI style="LINE-HEIGHT: 150%"><FONT face=Arial size=2>26 parking spaces are
east of Almon Street, one block west of NSA; </FONT>
<LI style="LINE-HEIGHT: 150%"><FONT face=Arial size=2>7 parking spaces are
west of Asbury Street, three blocks west of NSA; </FONT>
<LI style="LINE-HEIGHT: 150%"><FONT face=Arial size=2>5 parking spaces are
three blocks north of NSA at the corner of "A" and Jackson; </FONT>
<LI style="LINE-HEIGHT: 150%"><FONT face=Arial size=2>4 parking spaces are
located at 5th and Washington, one block east of NSA; </FONT>
<LI style="LINE-HEIGHT: 150%"><FONT face=Arial size=2>6 parking spaces are
being obtained in the University of Idaho's "Blue" lots (#47 and #48) on
either side of Lilly Street, about four blocks west of NSA; and </FONT>
<LI style="LINE-HEIGHT: 150%"><FONT face=Arial size=2>12 park-n-ride parking
spaces at the Nazarene Church on the east side of town.</FONT></LI></UL>
<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 150%"><FONT face=Arial size=2>In addition to promoting
the use public transportation, the NSA parking plan also calls for a donation
to be made in support of public transportation. <SPAN> </SPAN>"We want to
participate in supporting public transportation and, at the same time,
acknowledge our increased dependence on it," said Hieronymus.<SPAN>
</SPAN>"Our goal is to support it on a per student basis at roughly the same
level that the University of Idaho has in the past.<SPAN> </SPAN>For us
this year, it means a $1,500 donation."</FONT></P>
<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 150%"><FONT face=Arial size=2>The agreements involving
the five downtown lots were made with The Moscow-Pullman Daily News, the
Golden Star Restaurant, Asbury L.L.C., St. John Hardware and Implement, and
Christ Church.</FONT></P>
<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 150%"><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </P>
<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 150%"><FONT face=Arial size=2>There we go, problem
solved. Perhaps now we won't have to listen to the incessant yammering from at
least one of our frequent posters on this silly topic.</FONT></P>
