Mr. Rob Zuccaro, AICP, Planning & Building Safety Director Ms. Kristin Dean, AICP, Principal Planner City of Louisville, Colorado 749 Main Street Louisville, CO 80027 HARTRON FT 2 October, 2017 ASSOCIATES A Professional Corporation Planning Architecture Interior Design 950 Spruce Street, #2A Louisville, CO 80027 TEL: 303.673.9304 FAX: 303.673.9319 www.hapcdesign.com Rob and Kristen, Re: 712-722 Main Street Final PUD Including Replat and SRU We are pleased to submit the attached Final PUD for the redevelopment of 712-722 Main Street in Downtown Louisville. This application also includes a replat to combine the two lots into a single lot, and an SRU for outdoor activity areas. Overview The redevelopment of 712-722 Main Street is intended to accommodate the growing business of Boulder Creek Neighborhoods currently located in the existing buildings, as well as other buildings downtown. Boulder Creek Neighborhoods currently employs approximately 80 people and has been a very active, involved corporate citizen of downtown Louisville. It is the company's desire to remain in downtown rather than relocate to accommodate the growth of the business. A primary goal of the redevelopment is to accommodate the office uses above the main floor to give back the street level presence to retail and restaurant uses to enliven the streetscape. The existing one-story buildings, originally constructed in 1968/1960 , totaling 7,558 sf, will be replaced by a new 20,000 sf building with under -building and main floor parking garage with 30 total spaces. The intent of the design regarding parking is to provide the total required parking on-site, with the ability to convert the parking to commercial space if it is more desirable from the City's point of view, or the owners' perspective. This could be due to future increases in the City's public parking capacity, changing demographics and attitudes towards private vehicles as primary transportation, or other factors. The building is also designed with a 5,500 sf basement which is not currently served by the on-site parking. Therefore the Applicant is requesting that the PUD be approved with two options related to parking. While no occupancy of the basement is anticipated at this time, if it is ever converted to habitable space in the future, the Applicant would pay the fee in lieu of on-site parking current at the time to utilize this additional space. Also, if the space currently shown as parking on the main level is converted to commercial space, then the fee in lieu of on-site parking would be provided for the lost spaces, as well as the demand generated by the habitable space. Architectural Design Concept Downtown buildings require particular attention to design and massing to relate to the existing architectural fabric of Downtown and to contribute to the history and vibrancy of Downtown. Louisville's Main Street is characterized by a diverse, eclectic mix of building styles and periods of Louisville's history. 7
