8. The preliminary plat and preliminary PUD development plan are proposed to be served by a single access, that being Gateway Lane located off of McCaslin Blvd. This access point is approximately 500 feet south of the intersection of McCaslin Blvd. and South Boulder Road, both of which are four-lane arterial streets. 9. There was much testimony and evidence offered at the public hearing regarding the impact the increased number of lots would have upon the function of the single point of access. McStain testified that backgrourld traffic conditions would continue to impair the function of the access irrespective of the density increase. Others testified that the proposed increase in housing units would increase the number and severity of traffic conflicts at the McCaslin Blvd.-Gateway Lane intersection, particularly for left turn movements out of the Property onto McCaslin Blvd. The City Council finds that the proposed increase in housing units will increase delay times for this left turn movement and will increase the likelihood of congestion, traffic conflicts and traffic hazards at the McCaslin Blvd.-Gateway Lane intersection. The City Council further finds that the proposed preliminary plat and preliminary PUD development plan does not adequately address these traffic impacts related to the proposed density as required by Chapter 17.28 of the LMC, including applicable provisions of Sections 16.16.010 and 17.28.120 which require that plats and PUDs be appropriately designed with reference to circulation, access, safety, and traffic generated by the proposed development. Section 2. Based on the foregoing factual findings, and based further on the evidence and testimony presented at the public hearing, the City Council hereby concludes that the proposed preliminary plat and preliminary PUD development Plan proposed for Gateway Lane does not satisfy applicable criteria set forth in title 16 and 17 of the LMC, including without limitation Sections 16.16.010, 17.28.110 and 17.28.120. Section 3. Therefore, in accordance with the above findings and conclusions, the City Council of the City of Louisville, acting on appeal filed pursuant to LMC Section 16.12.030, hereby denies the proposed preliminary plat and proposed preliminary PUD development plan for Gateway Lane Subdivision for the property legally described in Exhibit A attached hereto.
