Preliminary PUD and Plat July 7, 2011 th 96 and Dillon to east along this section of the site the design would be Tennis Center fence, drainage channel, and in the 50ft ROW, sidewalk, street, bike trail. The Church and Games Site Plans The potential uses on the Church and Games parcels are contemplated to be the same as the recorded zoning plan, with perimeter amendments to support the Tennis Center parcel and internal amendments for associated roadway alignments. Currently, there are no plans for the Games parcel. The Church parcel includes three commercial lots and a Church with a Rectory and early education school and associated amenities such as play fields and playgrounds, however the plans for the church site are not contemplated in this PUD submittal. Transportation The critical access and circulation patterns are maintained from the original zoning site plan. All th roads on site are local public roads with the primary full movement access to 96 widening at the approach to provide better and safer long term movements at the intersection and introduce a th more aesthetic element at the main access. The other access points at 96 and Dillon Road remain as contemplated with the capability for each parcel to circulate to the signalized main access and to Dillon Road via public roads or public access easements. The main access point at Dillon Road will be signalized, with the date of the signalization subject to the demands of the access point or as otherwise negotiated with the City. Access to Dillon Road will be achieved through the site design of the Church parcel and will include an access easement. A public road was contemplated to make this connection, however it is the desire of the Church to maintain a higher level of control on the design of the connection to facilitate the safe movement of children on a daily basis as the road would bisect the school from the playgrounds and playfields. Pedestrian movements through the site and to regional connections are important to the Owners and are reflected in the plans. The zoning process identified a desire of the City to include a multi-use soft path along the east side of the property. This path is for continuation of a future trail from downtown Louisville and then the desire is to connect to open space trails in Boulder County and Broomfield to the south. In addition to this trail, there is also a multi-use paved trail th along Dillon Road and 96 Street. Internal to the site will be sidewalks along all public roads with interim connections to the surrounding trails. The proposed public roadways are designed to the City of Louisville Design and Construction Standards and amendments set forth in the municipal code. As noted in the description of the Tennis Center, the Owners group is requesting a variance to a narrower 50 ft. right of way as contemplated in the PCDZ and deletion of the east most attached walkway along the north-south segment of Road B through the Tennis Center parcel. The purpose of deleting this walkway is the adjacent pathway would create parallel and similar uses. The walkway on both sides of the road would re-emerge along the east-west segments and those walkways would connect to the eastern pathway at their terminus. Public Land Dedication and Landscaping The plan will provide for the required landscaping to support the dedication of the public rights of way. The landscape plan is in accordance with the City requirements. The actual planting of Page 4 of 10
