Pa~tl Wood, Planning Director, stated that the applicant is Homart Development Company. He explained that the property is bounded by McCaslin Boulevard, Dillon Road, Cherry Street, and Dahlia Street. The plat approval is for the entire 42 acres, 11 lots. The PUD approval would consist of all improvements to Lot 1. The only user coming before Council at this meeting with Lots 10 and 11 are the drainage detention areas, and the perimeter landscaping, public improvements within the adjoining right-of-way, the internal loop road system, utilities to serve the 42 acres, and the overall grading of the entire site. Wood explained that the 42 acres will be accessed by five full turn-in movements: two on Dahlia, one on Dillon, one on McCaslin, and one on Cherry. There was an add[itional right-in/right-out on Cherry Street. A note incorporated on the PUD states that based upon traffic warrants, the city would have the right to negotiate and require that the applicant make the necessary modifications to the access point on McCaslin. Concerning pedestrian access, the perimeter of the site will have a 5' detached sidewalk on Cherry, McCaslin Blvd., and Dak~lia, an 8' detached bicycle/pedestrian path or sidewalk will be provided along Dillon Road. The internal loop road system provides a 5.' internal sidewalk. Lots 4 thru 6 and 7 thru 9 will also have a full sidewalk. Bicycle circulation is proposed within the traffic lane. All perimeter sidewalks and internal sidewalks on Lot 1 will be constructed as part of this initial phase. Landscaping will be required to be in compliance with the Centennial Valley Design guidelines. There are three joint ID si?ns at each entry point with a 14' overall height. Concerning Lot 1, Albertson's have proposed a 48,434 s.f. building with approximately a 20% lot coverage, 235 parking spaces/5 spaces per thousand. The store meets the required setbacks. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on November 9, 1993 and failed by a vote of 3 - 3 - 1 to support Resolution No. 47. The Planning Commission was in agreement with the four staff conditions (SEE ATTACHED), but were divided on six other issues (SEE ATTACHED). Davidson called for the applicant's presentation. Don Shonkwiler, Homart Development, reviewed charts and drawings for Council, including many of the things Wood mentioned. He explained that the monument signs didn't meet the design guidelines because they anticipated approval within the city's standards. Bill Boulet (Planning Commission member), 728 Grant Avenue, Lo~isville, Colorado, was concerned about the safety of the bike path, the aesthetics of the landscaping, and the architectural des. ign, which he felt was lacking in style.. He commented that the li?hting should be lowered. Sarah Klahn (Planning Commission member), 729 LaFarge, Louisville, Colorado, was also concerned about the sidewalk/bike path safety and~ did not like the architectural design of the complex. She felt that the lighting was overdone.
