Dear Mr. Hilgemeier:
The required parking for the Stepping Stone School based on gross square
footage and use is 25 parking spaces. Currently, there are 20 spaces proposed
for this site.
Observations were made at an existing Stepping Stone School located on 9616
Brodie Lane in Austin, Texas. This location has a similar enrollment and serves
a similar demographic. The following table lists the characteristics of each
school.

proposed College Station school is 89% of the Austin school.

Applying the 89% reduction to the maximum number used at the Austin school
results in 19 required spaces for the College Station school.
