<br />Planning Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />May 8, 2014 <br />Page 8 of 13 <br /> <br />Brauneis is curious about the massing and the heights because one of the Historic <br />Preservation points is about where the two communities meet each <br />other. In the presentation, they are step-down to what height? <br />Russ answers <br />Brauneis thought the first row was perhaps a little lower. <br />Russ answers the code says to drop it to and then there is a minimum of 2-story. It <br />cannot be a 1-story according to the Code. The variance is for the 1-story waiver on the <br />historic building. In looking at Field or Little Italy to the north, they are 1-story <br />structures. The zoning allows them to be 2-story structures. It is the RM Zone District <br />that allows, if the lot is large enough, townhome development at a height. From a <br />zoning perspective, how do you transition from to to There is a very big <br />difference to allowed versus what exists. It can be a stark transition from 1-story <br />to 2-story as it physically exists on the ground, but every building to the north is allowed <br />to go to Therefore, the transition as dramatic. As a first development, it feels <br />like a big change. <br />Moline asks why Little Italy cannot go to <br />Russ answers because they are in the Old Town Overlay District. The Old Town <br />Overlay District caps the height at and we also have a roof pitch cap as well. <br />Moline asks about the detention pond. <br />Russ answers at the time, the City was looking at an off-site facility which was <br />preliminary and nothing was finalized. The actual decision was At <br />final, it is not in place so we must enact water quality standards with the final <br />development. <br /> <br />Applicant Presentation: <br />Justin McClure, 105 Cherrywood Lane, Louisville, CO, office at 950 Spruce Street, Suite <br />2A, Louisville, CO with two partners, Rick Brew and David Waldner, RMCS and DELO, <br />and David Gregg, Boulder Creek. <br /> <br />Presented by Power Point. Thank you to the Planning Commission and Staff. <br />We are here requesting final approval for Phase 1/1A. It was not our intent to phase the <br />project when we requested preliminary approvals. There were three key issues that <br />generated the delay. The first was final arrangements with Comcast; the second was <br />final arrangements with Stephen Tebo, the adjacent property owner associated with <br />Phase 2 for the extension of Cannon Street which has been successfully finalized, and <br />the last being the drainage discussed today. <br />Phase 1/1A shows the 60 townhomes that are being referenced. To the south there is a <br />pending future Phase 2 submittal seen on preliminary. It is a slightly different site plan <br />and the picture does not show some of the recent changes made. We hope to have a <br />submittal pending in the next 60 days. We are in very close working relationships with <br />adjacent property owners, Stephen Tebo and the Boom family. What I am showing in <br />this slide is back in December 2010 when we originally acquired the very first 5-acre <br />parcel, there was a lot of conversation about what to do with blighted areas, <br />infrastructure, and how to get an area redeveloped. We were comfortable thinking that <br />DELO would be the catalyst project and infrastructure and provide a level of quality and <br />set the standard to encourage other property owners to come forward and redevelop as <br />
