I ` Cityof r Louisville PARKS & RECREATION Memorandum To: Joe Stevens, Director of Parks and Recreation From: Allan Gill, RLA, and Park's Project Manager Date: October 6, 2016 Re: Clementine Subdivision Redevelopment, Preliminary PUD Information / Status Update Summary: On August 10th staff met with the property owners and Hartronft Associates to discuss the Clementine Subdivision (301-333 East Street). As a Planned Unit Development (PUD) the approval process is a negotiation between the City and the developer. The process starts very broad and becomes more focused at the end. This proposed development is not that different from other developments within the City; however, in this instance the developer is proposing to provide enhanced landscaping as a public benefit in addition to maintenance on an undeveloped City owned parcel of land adjacent to the east side of the development. In return the developer is asking to use a portion of the area for stormwater detention. As some stormwater detention basins tend to be very noticeable as a fairly deep hole the proposed detention area would be about a foot to a foot to eighteen inches in depth. The triangular shaped parcel is approximately 1.4 acres +/- in size and is zoned as "Parks" in the Parks, Recreation, Open Space and Trails (PROST) master plan. Typically public land is not to be used for private use. In this instance the developer is proposing what they feel is a win / win situation. Currently the City owned parcel of land is undeveloped and does not have a high Recreation or Parks value as the parcel is too small to be developed and maintained for active Park or Recreation purposes and the triangular shape also limits what the parcel can be used for. Development of the parcel by the developer would be beneficial to the City in several ways: Maintenance responsibilities to the department would be reduced maintenance of the parcel would be provided by the HOA. The area could be used for passive Recreation. Potential trail / walk connections to the Coal Creek Regional Trail, Community Park and downtown Louisville via Pine Street. The parcel could serve as a landmark or gateway to the City. The proposed final condition also takes into account future Hwy. 42 improvements at the intersection of Hwy 42 and South 96th Street. Cash in lieu of land dedication has already been determined per the subdivision agreement for Clementine Subdivision Filing No. 2 dated January 17, 2007. Information / Status Update: At this point it is very early in the development review process more investigation, discussion and design development are needed to explore options and address feasibility issues. 22
