DISCUSSION/DIRECTION - PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION PLAT AND PUD DEVELOPMENT PLAN - SUMMIT VIEW PROFESSIONAL PARK - 255 N. 96TM STREET Davidson called for Staff presentation. Paul Wood, Planning Director stated that the applicant is Mr. Hale Kell and is represented by Hartronft & Associates. Wood noted that the applicant submitted a Preliminary Subdivision Plat and PUD Development Plan for the development of a 6 acre parcel located immediately north of Rent-X Center, and fronting the west side of Highway 42. The subject property is owned by Dana and Fred Echohawk and is occupied by a single family residence and associated outbuildings. Wood noted that the property is zoned PCZD and is subject to the provisions of the North Louisville General Development Plan. The easterly four acres are designated as Parcel H, which allows for commercial and offices uses, and the westerly two acres is designated as parcel J, which provides for mixed use, residential, as well as commercial and office. Residential development would be limited to a total of 25 units with a density of 18 dwelling units per acre. Wood summarized the proposal, which consists of a one-lot subdivision for seven individual condominium office buildings. The plat proposes a 12% (.72 acres) land dedication identified as Outlot A, in fulfillment of the open space use dedication. The dedication would be approximately 38-48 feet wide and run parallel to the south property adjacent to the Davidson Highline ditch. Wood stated that the PUD plan reflects seven building sites that are planned to be primarily two-story, for use as professional, medical and limited retail. The proposed maximum building area is limited primarily by the need for a specific level of parking. The PUD reflects a maximum of 52,800 SF designated as medical office. Wood noted the access to the development is proposed with a single access point from Highway 42. The Plan provides that this specific access point may function as a Right- in/Right-out/Left-in. Wood noted that a "potential joint emergency access easement" has not been negotiated with the adjoining owner to the north. Wood stated that the primary policy issue for this development proposal, is the relationship between this parcel and the GDP under which the parcel was zoned and allocated a level of development density. The North Louisville GDP defined the scope of a planning area, allocated use, density and a road circulation system to provide the required access to the individual parcels within the plan. Wood noted that the collector loop road, designated on the GDP, is intended to tie all individual parcels on both sides of Highway 42 into an integrated circulation system, and that as individual parcels come forward within the development process, each parcel carry an obligation to implement that circulation system. Wood stated that that the future 8
