Lisfed below, please find requested information: 1. At present, we prefer not to add signage in the park and fly parking zone. Per history, such signage/demarcation can result in security risks... we experienced park and fly car break-ins several years ago when curbs were painted and noted as "park and fl�'. Apparently, thieves know that these individuals will be away from their cars for a period of 4ime and feel "safe° breaking into them. 2. Parking lot vacancy survey was as follows: Date February 23, 2005 February 24, 2005 February 25, 2�05 FebruarV 28, 2005 ��. .��. �� •: . .� �� Hotel 80% 85% 66% 78% 3. As the hotel markets a park and fly program, the number of cars could grow. However, production from any promotion can be monitored... if park and fly packages were to become very successful and existing parking was deemed inadequate, then we could easily limit the number of packages sold. This is not an issue at present. 4. All park and fly cars will be kept in the hotel parking lot. 5. Applicant has no issue with an approval of two to three years during which time we can monitor any issues. � 6. Hopefully, our reliance on airl;�e cre�v busin�ss �a�ill c�ecrease. HisiQric?lly, the hotel has had a high airline crew mix of business and has not had parking issues. Appficant would prefer that any amendment not be tied to a percentage of airline crew business which may not impact our ability to continue providing park and fly packages. Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions or for further information.
