<br />Lathrop was concerned about the lack of definition of uses. He felt the paramount issues were <br />parking and the exposure to McCaslin with just a grass retention area. <br /> <br />Keany was concerned about parking, employee and regular. <br /> <br />Sisk wanted to see a portfolio of what Thompson's company had developed in Nebraska. He was <br />concerned about the traffic wanting to proceed northbound on McCaslin. He preferred land <br />dedication rather than cash-in-lieu of, with the applicant being responsible for the maintenance of the <br />landscaping thereon. He did not want a 5,000 s.f restaurant. <br /> <br />Levihn did not like all the right turn-outs going down to Cherry Street, with people having to make <br />u-turns to come back. <br /> <br />Tom Phare, Public Works Director, stated the left turn-out would not function as McCaslin traffic <br />builds. <br /> <br />Keany did not see any access for delivery vehicles to the two front pads along McCaslin. <br /> <br />Mayer felt the landscaping along McCaslin needed a lot of work, as did the parking and circulation. <br /> <br />Keany moved that Council forward the Thompson preliminary Subdivision Plat and PUD to the <br />Planning Commission with Council comments. Seconded by Howard. All in favor. <br /> <br />CONSIDER REQUEST FOR FUNDING: COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF <br />TRANSPORTA TION - COMMUTER RAIL DEMONSTRATION PROJECT <br /> <br />Bill Simmons, City Administrator, stated that the CDOT is conducting a state wide feasibility study <br />for the development of se/veral commuter rail lines throughout the state and Denver Metro region. <br />One of the routes being considered is the Burlington Northern route that runs through Louisville. <br />There is a demonstration project with several trains touring the state mid-August/mid-September. <br />It is being funded through CDOT, various municipal and county governments, and the private sector. <br />CDOT requested $2,500 from the City of Louisville. Planning Commission reviewed this on June <br />25 and unanimously recommended a motion supporting the CDOT project. The Finance Committee <br />reviewed this at its July 15 meeting and moved to support the funding provided there be a stop in <br />Louisville. <br /> <br />Howard and Mayer felt that if it did not stop in Louisville, it would be of no benefit to Louisville. <br /> <br />Howard moved that Council approve the request for expenditures of up to $2,500 in support of the <br />Colorado Department of Transportation Commuter Rail Demonstration Project providing it runs <br />through and stops in Louisville. Seconded by Mayer. <br /> <br />7 <br />
