City Council <br /> Study Session Summary <br /> September 24,2013 <br /> Page 4 of 4 <br /> future investors and further improve the connectivity between CTC and the rest <br /> of Louisville. A key opportunity is to connect the CTC directly to 96th Street. <br /> The Connectivity Report showed the connection between the CTC and 96th <br /> Street is feasible. The estimated cost of the connection is approximately one <br /> million dollars. Funding for the connection could come from a partnership <br /> through a number of sources including: the metro-district, the property owners, <br /> and the City. Staff suggested the next steps were for staff to continue <br /> partnership conversations with the CTC metro-district and return to City Council <br /> with a specific proposal. <br /> In general, the City Council was favorable of the connection. Concerns were <br /> raised to the slope of 96th Street and the City ability to keep the street plowed <br /> during the winter, traffic operations on Hwy 42, and maintaining the rural <br /> aesthetics of the 96th Street corridor. <br /> Planning Director Russ referred to the Study regarding the slope of the roadway <br /> and traffic operations. He stated both issues raised were addressed adequately <br /> in the Connectivity report <br /> City Manager's Report: <br /> Deputy City Manager Heather Balser discussed the recent flood damage. She <br /> reported that most damaged areas were still in the initial assessment phase and <br /> that some areas could not be assessed because they are still under water. <br /> Meetings are being set up with CDOT, FEMA, our insurance company and <br /> claims adjusters. The process will be ongoing. <br /> AmeriCorps, a group of government sponsored volunteers will be using Sam's <br /> Club as base. They will be providing flood relief efforts in Boulder County. <br /> Planning Staff worked quickly with WalMart and AmeriCorp and are staying there <br /> under a Temporary Use Permit which is good for 45 days. Planning Director <br /> Russ stated that if they will be there longer than 45 days, Planning Staff will <br /> come to Council to request an extension. <br /> The Advanced Agenda was reviewed. <br /> Future Discussion items: <br /> Adjourn— 9:05 pm <br /> Submitted by—Dawn Burgess <br /> September 25, 2013 <br />
