Planning Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />January 8, 2015 <br />Page 22 of 23 <br />To the extent that consensus cannot be achieved, then that is a challenge. But if it can, then it <br />does not become co. He is comfortable with the way it is in the SWOT and in Principle 3. <br />Brauneis says he is comfortable with "closely reflects" as well. He interprets the "lack of <br />community consensus and desires" as Rice does and does not think cause of consensus to <br />grow; he thinks it is simply acknowledging it as part of the dynamic of a process like this. When <br />it comes to the appearance issue, he reads it to mean that we would be celebrating the more <br />attractive portions of the road, and to try to transfer it to other areas. The trees in the middle are <br />fantastic. The inclusion of the appearance of the corridor as a weakness will not cause us to <br />chop down the trees; if anything, it will help us improve other areas within it. <br />Moline says he is comfortable with the explanations about the way we have it now. He is <br />comfortable with the comments he has heard for modifications. <br />O'Connell says that on the aesthetic appearance, her feeling is to keep it in. It actually ties in <br />with the weakness of the pedestrian and walkability because when driving through the corridor, <br />it is beautiful with the trees. With the walkabout, you start noticing litter and things needing <br />upkeep. If we can see these things as entwined and then it ties into the lack of consensus on <br />the purpose, is this a drive -through or is this small town walkability. If the purpose is seen more <br />to be more walkable area, then we need a lot of aesthetic improvement. Those remain big <br />weaknesses to her. She is in favor of changing the wording to the lack of consensus on the <br />purpose of the corridor than keeping it on community desires. She is fine with the changes <br />redlined. She does not feel strongly changing it to "closely reflecting"; she thinks reflecting <br />captures it. <br />O'Connell excuses herself at 9:28 pm due to illness. <br />Pritchard says he agrees with O'Connell. He likes the SWOT analysis and overall, it reaches <br />the objectives. In terms of the red lines on the SWOT analysis, he is in favor with the slightly <br />tweaking of the language in regard to the community consensus issue. In regard to the <br />Principles, he is very comfortable with them. He is in support. He asks Robinson to take the PC <br />suggestions regarding the SWOT Threat, community consensus. <br />SWOT analysis — PC gives affirmative voice consensus. <br />Principles - PC gives affirmative voice consensus. <br />Planning Commission Comments <br />Brauneis asks about utility activity along Centennial and behind some houses. Does Staff know <br />what is happening there. <br />Bill Seaton, 2396 McKinley, Louisville, CO <br />Seaton states that the utility company is running power lines from the Open Space down the <br />easement under the railroad tracks. Some of the equipment is still in the easements. <br />Staff Comments <br />Russ speaks about items needing annual confirmation. <br />➢ Open Government & Ethics Pamphlet — 2015 Edition <br />o Ethics Training Tengler and Russell may need to take Ethics Training <br />➢ Public notice update <br />o City Hall, 749 Main Street <br />o Library, 951 Spruce Street <br />o Recreation/Senior Center, 900 Via Appia (move in front of the desk) <br />o Police Department/Municipal Court, 992 Via Appia <br />
