Jones Chairman Keith Jones Managing Principal John Baumgardner Vice Chairman & CEO Steve Burton President Founding Member of the National Parking Association our mission By valuing our employees, listening to our clients, and operating under the ideals of moral integrity, quality, and accountability, we will lead the parking industry in service and financial results for our clients. April 14th, 2014 To Whom It May Concern, The purpose of this letter is to inform the City of Tukwila about the additional parking space that can be created by implementing valet parking at the proposed new hotel. After reviewing the design of the property and working with hotel management, we have come up with a scenario where valet would be provided and accommodate additional vehicles while also leaving dedicated parking for the apartment complex, allowing residents to self park at all times. Under this scenario we are assuming that valet services would be provided 24/7. We propose leaving some of the surface parking and levels 2, 3, and 4 of the garage open to the residents of the apartment complex. Valet and hotel parking would be dedicated to the 1st floor of the garage, as well as a small portion of the surface area parking. Under this scenario, we would be able to completely stack the 1st floor maximizing the amount of vehicles that could be parked. Access would be restricted to only valet team members. Under this scenario we believe we could at the very least fit an additional 44 full -sized vehicles in the valet area. When we stack vehicles there are several processes we use. One is installing small heavy -duty secure key boxes that would store the keys of vehicles that are blocking other vehicles in. When a valet retrieves a vehicle, they would access the key box to retrieve the keys of the blocking vehicle. Another method is to keep all keys in a central location. Under this method, we tag the tickets of the vehicles that are blocked in with the ticket number of the vehicle blocking it. If a vehicle is requested that is blocked in, the valet knows to also grab the keys to the vehicle that is blocking it in. We would like to keep the valet area restricted to valet use only. This means that valet would only use the valet designated areas of the garage. At no time would a valet stack or double park a vehicle in the apartment parking section of the garage. Ace Parking Management has extensive experience in the valet parking industry. In the greater Seattle area alone we run multiple luxury hotels, as well as, several large corporate valet assist programs. This gives us the expertise necessary to maximize space in the garage. With over 300 professionally trained employees in the area, it also allows us to staff a location in a moment's notice, if needed.
