City Council <br />Meeting Minutes <br />December 15, 2015 <br />Page 10 of 25 <br />Council member Loo asked if there is a gap between the development and the <br />sidewalk. Interim Planning and Building Safety Director Russ confirmed there was a <br />gap, but the City has a public easement at Kaylix Drive, where a path could be <br />incorporated to accommodate the residents. The 200' sidewalk would be a City project. <br />Council member Loo inquired about the extension of the RTD services to Highway 42. <br />Interim Planning and Building Safety Director Russ confirmed this is part of the <br />Northwest Mobility Study and is identified as a needed transportation improvement. <br />Council member Keany asked for confirmation the streets would be maintained by the <br />City. Interim Planning and Building Safety Director Russ confirmed they would after a <br />two year warranty period. <br />Council member Keany stated his understanding the alley maintenance is the <br />responsibility of the development. Interim Planning and Building Safety Director Russ <br />confirmed it is the developer's responsibility. <br />Council member Keany inquired about the City's responsibility for snow removal and <br />maintenance of the trails. Interim Planning and Building Safety Director Russ explained <br />once the regional trail is constructed the City would plow the trail, but the sidewalks <br />would be the responsibility of the landowners. <br />Council member Keany inquired about the development's requirement for their portion <br />of the signal at Hecla. Interim Planning and Building Safety Director Russ explained the <br />developer is required to pay their portion. <br />Council member Keany inquired about the warrants for the light installation. Interim <br />Planning and Building Safety Director Russ explained there are six warrants for the <br />signal, which is controlled by CDOT. <br />Mayor Muckle asked about the underground pond directing storm flows to South <br />Boulder Road and whether the pipes would be expanded. Interim Planning and Building <br />Safety Director Russ stated the development's civil engineer would address the issue. <br />APPLICANT PRESENTATION <br />Norrie Boyd, Planning Division Manager for Boulder County Housing Authority, 2525 <br />13th Street, Boulder, CO, presented, along with Nicole Delmarge, Barrett Studio <br />Architects (Master Planner and Designer for the Community Building) and Ozi Friedrich, <br />with Humphrey Poli (Architect for the Senior Building and multi - family units). She <br />explained the project has been renamed Kestrel, which is a small falcon found <br />throughout Boulder County. It represents Boulder County Housing Authority's <br />philosophy of upward momentum for their clients toward self- efficiency and providing a <br />diversity of housing option for a diverse group of residents. She explained the reason for <br />the development is the huge demand for housing. She noted there are 300 people on <br />the interest list for a development, which does not have its planning approval. She <br />
