RESOLUTION NO. 10, SERIES 2004 - A RESOLUTION APPROVING A SPECIAL REVIEW USE APPLICATION FOR A SKATE PARK FACILITY & PARKING LOT IMMEDIATELY WEST OF THE NEW INLINE HOCKEY RINK Mayor Sisk called for Staff presentation. Planning Director Paul Wood reviewed Resolution No. 10, Series 2004, which authorizes a Special Review Use for the construction of a skate park facility, parking area, and pedestrian bridge. The proposed skate park would be developed on two acres on the southeast comer of Via Appia and McCaslin Blvd, just west of the recreation center. The skate park facility would be approximately 13,000 SF in area and provide 20 off-street parking spaces, two of which are handicapped accessible. Overflow parking will be at the recreation center. Access from Via Appia would be provided by a 24' wide drive, constructed in alignment with the intersection of Eldorado Lane. The access will provide for a full turning movement, with an additional right-turn lane. The landscape plan provides for the continuation of a street tree presentation to Via Appia, and has been reviewed by the Horticulture and Forestry Advisory Board and modified to incorporate their recommendations. The photometric plan has been submitted reflecting a number of revisions reducing both the intensity of lighting and light spillage from the site. The lighting plan will require further review prior to construction. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on February 10, and by a vote of 7-0, forwarded a recommendation of approval with one condition. Design Concept representatives Rob Layton and Sean Rollinger were available to respond to Council questions. Mayor Sisk called for public comment. David Aumentado, 400 E. Raintree Court, Louisville, CO, recently from California, voiced his support of the skate park.

Terri Mitchell, 1302 Jackson Court, Louisville, voiced her support of the skate park and her thanks to the Council and City Staff.
