<br />conveyance of the shared access deed and two, that authorization of the Special Review and Final <br />PUD Development plan be contingent upon authorization of a revocable license agreement for the <br />use of the drive. Staff is recommending approval of the PUD and the SRU. Staff believes that <br />the criteria have been adequately addressed for the SRU and the use is appropriate in this <br />location. Staff is recommending approval with 6 conditions in Resolution No. 13, Series 2000. <br /> <br />Questions for Staff: <br /> <br />None. <br /> <br />Applicant Presentation: <br /> <br />Wendy Fickbohm, State Farm Insurance Agent located at 1313 Main Street in Louisville. Ms. <br />Fickbohm stated that they began planning the proposed PUD approximately two years ago. They <br />met several times with the Planning Division to make sure that they were meeting all of the <br />commercial development criteria. They also wanted to obtain assurances that the Lafayette Street <br />right-of-way could be jointly shared with the Fire Department and that they would have access to <br />their development from the Lafayette Street right-of-way. This is a critical piece to developing a <br />project of this size and scope. Ms. Fickbohm wanted a design that would maintain the historical <br />flavor while improving the appearance and develop a continued interest in the Main Street area. <br />The building proposed is 5,000 square feet, she intends to utilize 1,500 square feet on the main <br />floor, the rest of the building will primarily be occupied by small one to two professional tenants. <br /> <br />Comments were received back from the City on February 14, 2000, and there were no major <br />revisions at that time. The only comment from the Fire Marshall was that she should negotiate a <br />formalized agreement with the Fire District for cost associated with the shared maintenance of the <br />concrete access driveway on Lafayette Street. At that point there was no reference to expanding <br />the driveway beyond 24 feet. At this time she has not been able to reach an agreement with the <br />Fire Board. She has also tried to negotiate access to the PUD from the North side and was <br />unable to do that with the neighbor to the North. The only issues in contention at this time are <br />the issues being raised by the Fire Board. <br /> <br />Bill Fox, Transplan Associates, 1375 Walnut Street, Suite 211, Boulder CO. Ms. Fickbohm <br />contracted Transplan to do a traffic study for the proposed development. Mr. Fox briefly went <br />through the findings. Mr. Fox stated that when there is no Fire Department activity this <br />application would take an offset driveway that is somewhere between 30 and 50 feet offset from <br />Lafayette Street and align it with Lafayette Street. That is typically a good thing to do from a <br />traffic access perspective. When there is Fire Department activity in the inbound condition as Fire <br />Fighters are arriving on to the site, there is the concern that as they come to this site they’re <br />distracted and headed for the fire station itself. His only observation there would be that this <br />intersection would require the same amount of care that any other intersection required on that <br />path to the firehouse. In the case of this driveway where it’s 24 feet wide now and that access is <br />occurring in the 24-foot wide concrete driveway the proposal is to make it 36 feet wide. If there <br /> <br /> 10 <br /> <br />
