1 think it's an open question as to how successful that's
2 going to be as 100 percent alternative for the property,
3 I wonder if any calculations have been made if at some
4 later date it's determined that a portion of the parking
5 needs to be converted to self-park rather than valet
6 park. How many spaces will be lost in the parking
7 structure because you can no longer tandem two across or
8 three across? How many parking spaces would be lost if
9 it were converted to self-park?
10 MR. STEWART: I haven't seen a calculation
11 for that, Commissioner Overall. I think you can
12 probably get where you might have a 25 percent, 20 to
13 25 percent, efficiency rate on a normal parking lot.
14 You can probably get closer to an 80 percent efficiency
15 in a valet-parked lot. That's the actual car area to
16 the total area, and you know, so you can do the math.
17 MR. OVERALL: I'd rather you do the math.
18 MR. STEWART: Well, if you had a 100-space
19 parking area and -- or let's say 100-square-foot parking
20 area that normally you could get 20 cars in, you might
21 get 80 cars in.
22 MR. OVERALL: With tandem.
23 MR. STEWART: With valet parking. Those
24 numbers are wrong, but the ratios are right.
