Rice says does that leave 31 residential units to be developed Zuccaro says yes, within the entire boundaries of the GDP. Rice says we are not increasing the total number of residential just moving 9 of them into this particular parcel. Zuccaro says yes, that is correct. Rice says 231 is still the limit on the whole property. Zuccaro says that is my understanding. Planning Commission Meeting Minutes May 12, 2016 Page 10 of 13 on the other part of the property. units on this property; we are Applicant Presentation: Norrie Boyd, Planning Division Manager, Boulder County Housing Authority, 2525 13th Street, Suite 204, Boulder, CO. Home: 5248 5th Street, Boulder, CO The Staff report was amazing in providing the history of this project and its changes. We are under construction and close to 20% complete. I want to thank Works staff, Planning staff, and Building staff in getting us to this point. Commission Questions of Applicant: Moline says when you originally proposed this projec had a certairiber of units. Now you have decided to make these changes. What promp ed this? Boyd says prior to PUD approval, we had 23 community meetings with seniors and families throughout Louisville. We kept hearing "we want more one -bedroom units particularly for seniors and handicap -accessible". We had gotten to the point where we needed the PUD and annexation to happen in order to close on our financing. We did not have time to reset the clock, meet our financial closing date, and include those 9 units at the time. We hope these additional one -bedroom units are granted. We are trying to meet the handicap accessibility and ADA with these additional units. Moline says if someone said they had c rnout units above a community center, what would you say? Boyd says we wanted the community center to be the highlight and draw for the entire community; both for family units scattered to the north and east, as well as connect the senior building. As the design team looked at it, the building looked small to be the one-story crowning anchor for this site. The senior building is three stories. It didn't feel right from a design perspective. We worked with Public Works and the Planning staff to have a nice plaza out front. It is our mailroom. It is a place where we want people to come and hang out. It gives the community center more presence on the corner of Hecla and Kaylix. Live -work is an idea I latched onto as being the super -cool thing we wanted to do. The community meetings and the marketing were saying ground floor commercial and more residential units. We are trying to keep an airy open feeling with high ceilings and a lot of light. Public Comment: Kimberley Bruckmann, 1804 Gallagher Lane, Louisville, CO I am a property owner in Steel Ranch. I came for information but have questions on the site plan. I have a concern for headlight pollution coming from the exit pathways. I want to know if you have a site plan that has more adjacencies revealed by the image. I came to the meeting because I tried to look online to access an image of the development, but I couldn't find anything. Boyd shows her a plan of the project. Zuccaro says the Planning Department has a complete list of plans and maps if she has further questions. Summary and request by Staff and Applicant: Staff recommends Planning Commission move to approve Kestrel Final PUD Amendment: Resolution No. 13, Series 2016 with no conditions.
