Otto’s gets tiered parking

Otto’s BMW can move forward with plans to replace a row of 21 standard parking spaces with a bank of 19 two-tiered parking racks. Birmingham Township supervisors voted 3-0 Monday night to grant conditional use approval for the project. Supervisors held a hearing on the matter last month.

The current 21 standard spaces — used for employee parking — are against a retaining wall at the rear of the building. They can be moved to the side of the building without needing to add more room, according to testimony from last month.

The double-stack units are 15 feet long and slightly wider than a regular parking space. But the units will give the dealership a net gain of 17 parking spaces that would be for inventory, according to Otto’s Michael Vadasz.
