Louisville City Council M~eting June 20, 2000 Page 11. No. 34, Series 2000 to the July 5, 2000 meeting, seconded by Sisk. Motion carried. Howard abstained. RESOLUTION NO. 35, SERIES 2000 - A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AMENDED FINAL PUD DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND SPECIAL REVIEW USE FOR A NEW OFFICE BUILDING, 1314 MAIN STREET Davidson called for Staff introduction. Ken Johnstone, Principal Planner stated that the applicant and property owner, Wendy J. Fickbohm, is requesting a Special Review Use and a Final PUD Development Plan to construct a new, 5,000 SF, two story, professional office building. The property is located within the CN Zone District, which provides for a mix of residential and commercial uses. The CN District requires strict review of all uses through a Special Review Use. Johnstone noted that the lot is 17,613 SF, and is occupied by an 860 SF, one story, frame construction, professional office building. To the north isthe Martial Arts Studio zoned CN, and to the east a platted undeveloped alley and the Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railroad right-of-way. To the south is the Louisville Fire Protection District (LFPD) Fire Station 4/1, which was granted a revocable license agreement in 1993 to construct a 24' wide concrete driveway. The applicant is seeking Council authorization, through a revocable license agreement to jointly use the drive improvements within the public right-of-way as the primary means of ingress/egress to the proposed rear parking area. Johnstone stated that the proposed redevelopment is subject to the Commercial Development Design Guidelines and Standards (CDDG) and the PUD reflects general compliance with respect to parking, architecture, and landscaping. Johnstone noted that the main issue relative to the PUD request is the opposition expressed by the LFPD with regard to the proposed joint use of the driveway constructed by the District within the adjoining right-of-way. The Fire District's concerns are based upon current operations relative to the potential impact of joint use on safe vehicle and pedestrian movements. Johnstone noted that in response to the Fire District's concerns, the applicant has contracted Transplan Associates for the preparation of a traffic impact study to evaluate if the proposal for joint use does pose safety issues with the operations of the Fire District. Johnstone stated that the applicant has attempted to negotiate with the Martial Art Studio to the north for joint access, but has not been successful. 11
