Regular Business: st A.Resolution No. 52, Series 1999, Lots 6 and 10, Block 3, CTC, 1 Filing, Preliminary PUD and Preliminary Subdivision Replat to construct 3 speculative industrial buildings on 3 lots totaling 5 acres. Staff Public Notice Certification: Kenneth Johnstone, Principal Planner, certified that public notice was published in the Daily Camera on Sunday October 24, and mailed to surrounding property owners on Friday, October 22, 1999. All Planning Commissioners verified that they were familiar with the site. Staff Report and Facts and Issues: Mr. Johnstone presented the details of this matter as stated in the staff report. Commission Questions: Commissioner Solek asked about the landscaping in the detention pond and wanted to know if they have had particular problems with the Plains Cottonwood trees. Mr. Johnstone stated that he did not have a specific example of the Plains Cottonwoods causing problems. However, the larger trees that shed branches could potentially clog the outlet structures. Applicant Presentation: Terry O’Connor, 287 Century Circle, Louisville. Mr. O’Connor stated that they are basically in agreement with the conditions except for No. 3. There would be a serious hardship having a 15-foot easement on either side of a storm sewer. They believe that they will be able to resolve this issue with Staff. Members of the Public: None. Commission Questions: Commissioner Thompson asked how they proposed to work with staff on Condition No. 3. Mr. O’Connor hopes to convince Staff that 30 feet is not needed to maintain an 18-inch pipe. If not, they are proposing that they will maintain the storm sewer themselves. Mr. Kitzman, City Engineer, added that there is about 9 feet of clear distance from the edge of the building to the storm sewer pipe. Staff is concerned that it is a metal pipe and they will have to maintain it in the future. They do not want to hit the building with a backhoe. 2
