Leonard Fineburg, 303 17th Avenue, Suite 920, Denver, CO 80203, representing Coal Creek Medical Campus (Lot 2 adjoining the applicant's property), was present to identify their concerns. He informed the Council that the cross-easement portion of the property, which included the City's right for emergency access through Lots 1 & 2, had a clear deed of trust; therefore, the owners can grant access without lender's consent. The first concern was the encroachment of the setback on the property line. Wellspring had explained the need for their plan to encroach on our property due to the configuration of their building. Coal Creek Medical Campus was not opposed to the plan, their concern involved the future plans to construct a two-story medical office building on Lot 2. The second story of the building might provide a view into the living areas of Wellspring's residents due to the close proximity of the two buildings. If this would create difficulties for their future development plans, Mr. Fineburg preferred to address these concerns now. The second concern related to the access through Lot 1. The Planning Department and Planning Commission requested they extend sidewalks across the property up to the property edge of Lot 1. They wanted the cross- easement agreement to include pedestrian access as well as vehicular access to ensure children have safe access to the elementary school. The third concern dealt with the fencing along the property line. The owner appreciated the mitigation to the fence along the property line between Lots 1 & 2, in addition to the fence along 88th and Campus Drive. However, along their property line, it is just one straight fence. They requested the applicant pull back the fence and include additional landscaping. Davidson called for Council questions or motions. Keany expressed his approval for the esthetics of the building, but wanted clarification of the fence. Davidson requested the BVSD follow regular procedures to obtain approval for a sign on 88th Street. Mayer and Howard were concerned about how the setback variances affected future owners of the property, and requested a firm parking agreement be reached with the BVSD prior to approval. Sisk moved that Council approve Resolution No. 55, Series 1997, with the following amendments: 1. A shared parking agreement with Boulder Valley School District be executed prior to issuing a building permit. 2. Would remain as written. 3. The applicant modify the PUD, granting emergency access prior to the recording of the PUD. 4. The general notice be changed to reflect location as being within the City of Louisville rather than within Jefferson County. 5. Delete any reference to a sign for the Boulder Valley School District at the corner of 88th Street and the future east/west street. 6. The plan would include an alignment for sidewalks and vehicular traffic with the adjacent lot. 7. The required setback of twenty feet be adhered to for the north side. Howard seconded. All in favor.
