Planning Commission Meeting Minutes July 9, 2015 Page 6 of 17 Moline says he works for Boulder County Parks and Open Space. Since this is mentioned as one of the items this project will be subject to, I feel I should have disclosed it earlier. Pritchard does not feel his association with Boulder County Open Space would disqualify him. Public Notice Certification: Published in the Boulder Daily Camera on June 21, 2015. Posted in City Hall, Public Library, Recreation Center, the Courts and Police Building, and mailed to surrounding property owners on June 19, 2015. Staff Report of Facts and Issues: McCartney presented from Power Point: • This is a request to initialize this project. This is the Hoyle property which went through an annexation and rezoning some time ago. It is moving forward to the development phase. • Location of property is on Dillon Road between Pierce Avenue and CTC Blvd. It is on the north side of Dillon Road. • First phase: preliminary plat requesting most of the property as Lot 1 measuring 30.11 acres and Tract A measuring 3.01 acres. Tract A will eventually be used for the detention of the site since it drains that way. • There are existing structures on the property which have gone through the Historic Preservation Committee (HPC) process as a demolition request. The request had a stay on it and the stay has expired. The structures can be removed. The HPC has requested that Staff perform an architectural survey. This has nothing to do with the request before the PC tonight. • The Open Space Fund will be triggered on this property. During the discussion through annexation, there was an Open Space Fund required at the time of development that fund go into an overall open space fund. It will be handled at the time of subdivision and final plat, and not at the time of preliminary plat. • There will be a public land dedication required handled at final plat. • In the LMC, Sections 16.12.110.C, 16.16.010, and 16.16.060, all have the criteria reviewed for lot size, compatibility with zone district to be located within, and public land dedication requirements. All applicable criteria have been met. Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends Planning Commission move to approve Resolution No. 22, Series 2015, a resolution recommending approval of a request for a preliminary subdivision plat of approximately 33.12 acres into on 30.11 acre lot (Lot 1) and one 3.01 acre tract (Tract A), without conditions. Commission Questions of Staff- None. Applicant Presentation: Jim Vasbinder, Etkin Johnson Real Estate Group, 1512 Larimer Street, Suite 325, Denver, CO The Hoyle Property is under contract to purchase. This is our first step in the PUD and platting process. We have submitted, but not part of this review, a PUD for this property to the City last week. Our intent is to create a supplemental area to the Colorado Tech Center (CTC) which we have been heavily developing over the last 20 years. Activity has picked over the last 3 -5 years. This gives us the opportunity to build up to approximately 450,000 sf of our type of project, industrial /commercial types of buildings. We have done a substantial amount of due diligence. This creates one large lot and then the tract at the northeast corner. When you see what we have now submitted to the City, you will see that Lot 1 can stay as Lot 1, and we build one very 8
