Louisville City Council Meeting July 5, 2000 Page 8 providing a secondary emergency access. The Fire District is requiring that the easement be constructed with a hard surfaced material and that paving and upgrade to the easement be completed prior to occupancy. Staff recommends that the easement be completed to LFPD standards and that cash in escrow be paid for 100% of the estimated cost as security of the improvements. Wood reviewed the assumptions used in the traffic study submitted by the applicant. The study indicates that there would be 714 vehicle trips generated per day on an average weekday, with 357 vehicles entering and 357 exiting CTC. Sixty percent of those trips would be allocated to Dillon Road and forty percent would utilize SH 42 north of the site. Wood noted that it is the intent of the applicant to open Phase I of the school by August 24, 2000. No building permits have been submitted to commence plan review of the proposed tenant finish remodel of the building. It is anticipated that after a permit is issued, the tenant finish work would take 60-70 days. Staff extended to the applicant a schedule, which allowed the applicant to complete the full process in 35 days as opposed to 75 days. Davidson called for Applicant presentation.

During this three-year project they have listened to all of the concerns voiced by businesses within CTC, and revised and modified their proposal to accommodate those concerns. She noted that there are other speakers who will present additional information about the school. Kelley presented a county map, which outlined the site of the Peak to Peak School. She added that the Peak to Peak School has signed a 3-year lease, and since City Staff has recommended a cap of 350 students, this site is temporary and they will continue to look for other land to build a permanent campus.

He reiterated that Peak to Peak has signed a 3-year lease, and will
