Keany moved that Council forward this to the Planning Commission with Council's comments. Seconded by Lathrop. All in favor except Mayer with Sisk being absent. DISCUSSION/DIRECTION H.D. DELAWARE PROPERTIES - PARCEL H - PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION PLAT AND PRELIMINARY PUD DEVELOPMENT PLAN Paul Wood, Planning Director, stated that the applicant, HSG Louisville LLC, proposed seven lots for the 20 acre parcel located east of McCaslin Boulevard, between Dillon and U.S. 36, for the development of commercial retail, hotel, and office uses. Building coverage for Lots 1, 2, and 6 range approximately 38% with the hotel sites ranging up to 80%. Wood stated that the preliminary documents did not reflect important evaluation criteria that is normally associated with preliminary submittals with regard to building elevations or heights, parking allocations, internal vehicle and pedestrian access, landscaping detail was not adequate, and building setbacks may not be adequate to address separation from U.S. 36 and McCaslin Boulevard, depending on proposed building heights. The applicant had presented a set of design standards for Parcel H with standards similar to Centennial Marketplace standards, but less restrictive with regard to landscape and building setbacks, spacing of curb cuts, sidewalk width, tree calipers, vision clearance, and signage. Concerning the PUD, he stated that it showed approximately 117,000 s.f. of potential retail, in addition to two hotel pads. He stated that at this point this square footage is in conflict with the Fourth Amendment to the Interchange Agreement approved in 1988 limiting the retail development in Centennial Valley to 326,700 s.f. He stated that there is a proposed Fifth Amendment currently being reviewed by the Department of Transportation. Staff comments were that there was a concern in terms of land use for Parcel H for which further clarification was needed as to whether a restaurant was to be included or excluded from the maximum square footage of Centennial Valley. He felt that this much additional retail would require approval of the Fifth Amendment to the Interchange Agreement. Staff did not feel there was adequate information on the preliminary PUD to allow for an expedited time frame for a final review. Tom Phare, Public Works Director, stated that if this is referred on they will be looking closely at the access on McCaslin. Public Works wanted to see arrangements for a Dahlia Street extension. He suggested that all of Parcel S3, the open space between Parcel H and the Golf Course be released from its restricted deed covenants regarding street construction. Don Shonkwiler, H.D. Delaware Properties, 400 South McCaslin, Louisville, Colorado, introduced applicants Lester Shor and Steve Gettleman, architect/planner George Smith, and traffic engineer Kathleen Krager of Krager Associates. He commented that the retail will require an amendment to the Interchange Agreement and a Fifth Amendment to the Development Agreement. The developers will be limited to no more than 20,000 s.f. of retail. He felt restaurant use was service and did not fall under the definition of retail and should not be included within that 20,000 s.f. cap. Shonkwiler reviewed the site plans and building elevations. He proposed constructing, at their expense, an extension of Dahlia Street south of Dillon Road to Dick Biella's property. He stated that they would be happy to work on any release of the reverter for this property for the construction of the public 8
