Regular Business — Public Hearing Items ➢ Hutchinson (Nest Builders): Resolution No. 20, Series 2014 - A request for a final Plat and planned unit development (PUD) for a 6 lot subdivision to allow for the development of single family homes in the Residential Medium (RM) zone district. Southwest corner of Hutchinson Street and Roosevelt Avenue. Case No.14-003-FP/FS. • Applicant, Owner and Representative: Nest Builders, LLC. • Case Manager: Sean McCartney, Principal Planner Public Notice Certification: Posted in City Hall, Public Library, Recreation Center, and the Courts and Police Building, on the City website, and mailed to surrounding property owners on September 22, 2014. Posted on property on September 22, 2014. Published in the Boulder Daily Camera on September 21, 2014. Conflict of Interest and Disclosure: None. Staff Report of Facts and Issues: Sean McCartney, Principal Planner, presented from Power Point: • Property located on SW corner of Hutchinson Street and Roosevelt Avenue, located in residential medium zone district, and is 1.27 acres. By Louisville Municipal Code (LMC), one unit for every 3500 SF, so this site could yield up to 15 units. • The Hutchinson property is vacant and is historically the site of the ACME Mine. The mine ran between 1888 and 1928, produce over 1.7 million tons of coal. Fire destroyed the tipple in 1927 so the mine closed in 1928. • The Mayhoffers owned the property until one year ago. It is currently used for an irrigation lateral to their farm with a pump house on the property. There is a concrete mine cap which covers the shaft. Two technical reports determined no evidence of subsidence or contaminants in the soil. • Discussion about this property started in Fall 2013, submitted by Concord Partners. After much due diligence and discussion with Staff and surrounding neighbors, the property was purchased by Hutchinson Corner LLC in July 2014. • The lot was never platted. In discussion, the project was always discussed as a six lot subdivision. Fifteen units were not thought to work on this property or within the character of the neighborhood. The PUD limits this development to six single family units. • Because the lot was never platted, a 15% public land dedication (PLD) is required. For this property, the PLD is 8,315 SF or cash in lieu of $33,600 based on land appraisal of $224,000. The development provides 10.7% land of approximately 5,900 SF, will construct and maintain a park for two years, will survey the property by archaeologist and at the time of excavation, will have an archaeologist on site, and will donate any items found and the mine cap survey marker to the historical museum. In total, the applicant will donate $91,385 which is over the PLD or cash in lieu.
