Sisk moved that Council approve Ordinance No. 1196, Series 1995, amending Section 9.90 of the Louisville Municipal Code. Seconded by Keany. Roll call was taken. Motion passed by a 6 - 0 vote with Howard being absent. RESOLUTION NO. 41, SERIES 1995 - AMENDING THE FINAL PUD DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR 908 MAIN STREET Paul Wood, Planning Director, stated that Hartronfi Associates on behalf of C.E.L. Partnership was requesting an amendment to the Final PUD Development Plan approved in 1994 for 908 Main Street. The amendment proposed to further extend the rear of the building back an additional 14'. The 14' extension would increase the area of the basement and main floor from 4,152 s.f. to 5,808 s.f. Square footage for the second floor would be 5,484 s.f. and the third story would be 5,114 s.f. At full buildout, the building utilization would be 11% retail, 61% office, and 28% storage and shipping. No improvements authorized in 1994 had been initiated. Planning Commission approved the request on July 11, 1995, with four conditions. All conditions have been met with the exception of the 38' height limitation. The applicant was requesting a building height limitation of 41' to incorporate a 3" parapet wall, which is required by Code to stop the spread of fire to adjacent structures, on all four building elevations. Bicycle parking has not been included at this point. Davidson called for the applicant's presentation. Erik Hardtronft, Hartront't Associates, 1027 So. Boulder Road, Ste. J, Louisville, Colorado, representing C.E.L. Partnership, felt that the 41' height, set back 15' from the street, would not appear much different from the 33' bank building. He stated that the building would be completed in phases. He noted that the building color would be warm tan, with a steel store front on the second level, and the third level being painted dark green. Davidson called for Council questions. Mayer asked about the bicycle parking. Hardtrontt stated that they could provide bicycle parking for the employees, but was not sure how it would interface with the street improvements that had recently been done and the amount of space in front of the building. Keany was concerned about the small amount of parking. Hardtront~ felt that the lack of parking was a downtown problem that the City needed to address. 4
