Planning Commission Meeting Minutes JULY 14, 2005 Page 6 of 9 Wood stated that the recommendation is based on the HWY 42 study and the existing CDOT Access Control plan for HWY 42. The property owner is responsible to provide access to the property that is safe and acceptable to all regulatory parties. McAvinew asked who paid for the access point out of Nighthawk Circle. Wood stated that the City might have been responsible for those access modifications. Applicant Presentation: Gordon Fordyce, 1655 Cannon Circle, Louisville provided the following points of information: The right-in and right-out request should be a shared cost with other property  owners. Moving the current drive 35’ west causes access circulation problems internally.  Commission Questions of Applicant: Dalton asked the architect to come forward for his questions. Dalton asked if the additional ROW is reflected on the map. Peter Stewart, 1132 Jefferson, Louisville, replied that he had not received the information prior to the meeting. Stewart expressed concern about requesting his client to accept the proposed changes without them having an opportunity to discuss before making a decision. Loo, Lipton, Dalton, and McAvinew addressed their concerns with Fordyce and Stewart regarding the numerous non-compliance issues with the 1990 PUD requirements: off street parking by his employees, inoperable vehicles not parked in a building and no screening. Given the applicants current management of the property, the Commission questioned what confidence they should have in his ability to manage an expanded operation. Fordyce stated that the new building is designed to provide the screening Stewart stated that the new PUD clearly provides opportunities for compliance.
