Planning Commission Meeting Minutes February 11, 2016 Page 10 of 18 high density. I also want to remind you that CC directed Staff to not add more residential, especially high density residential above what was already approved. Pritchard asks Robinson if Staff was directed by CC to do nothing regarding density issues? Robinson says CC's direction to Staff was to not change the allowed uses. Staff has looked at where residential was already allowed and to maintain their current zoning allowance of density. We have not added any new residential. There are some places where medium or high density residential was previously allowed. Moline asks how many additional units are there that were not already planned? Robinson says approximately 100. There is the Seventh Day Adventist property located at Paschal and Highway 42 zoned residential. The RV storage in the GDP calls for residential. There are some areas that currently have residential on them, but they are underbuilt from what the zoning would allow. Alexandra Bradley, 1385 Caledonia Circle, Louisville, CO Glen Segrue's latest BVSD projection, Attachment A, shows an additional residential development potential of 183 units. I assume he got that from the Planning Department which could include Christopher Village which is not built to capacity. John Nahodyl, 2333 Dogwood Circle, Louisville, CO My question is directed towards Robinson and has to do with the realignment of North Main Street and Centennial. You stated that CC said we are supposed to drop that. Can you explain that a little more? Does it involve them at North Main? If that property does become available at some future date, would the City be in.. ted in purchasin• it to realign North Main Street with Centennial? Robinson says at a CC meeting last y properties along Main Street. All three pr opposition. They asked CC to remove it fr cussed. •roposal would impact three eeting and expressed their cte• " taff to not pursue it further. Brauneis asks Robinson regarding the conc Park, is that one of those "squishy" lines on th Robinson says as mentioned in the plan, with t •cquisition of the additional land at Cottonwood Park, we are proposing that the Park Department undertake a public process of the master plan of the entire Cottonwood Park area. As part of that, we recommend they look at: 1. Shifting the existing entrance driveway further east which would help the operation of the Via Appia intersection. 2. Depending on the design of the park, provide additional access off of Via Appia. We don't want to get into designing the Park at this stage. When and if it is redesigned and redeveloped, there could be benefits to having an additional access off of Via Appia. We are recommending a full robust public process to look at the future of the whole Cottonwood Park development. rrounding the new access to Cottonwood Moline says there were great comments from the public that prompt a couple of questions. Regarding the Highway 42 Plan and my experience with that plan, I don't know that its primary purpose is trying to move traffic quicker through the corridor. Do you want to comment on that? Robinson says there were some trade-offs when we went through that planning process. We (the community) decided some of the design and character elements would outweigh what would move the most traffic. If we are just looking at moving traffic, it would be turning it into two lanes in each direction. It would involve significant takings on both sides of the road. We said we want to create a sort -of front door for the community. There are some places where we are willing to make a trade-off so it might be a little slower going through. We are actually proposing dropping the speed limit from the present 40 mph to 35 mph. It would have additional community benefits and would make it easier for pedestrians to cross and more pleasant to bike or walk. Based on the projections in the plan, it actually does reduce travel time through the
