Planning Commission Meeting Minutes October 13, 2016 Page 9 of 31 Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends Planning Commission move to approve Foundry Replat, Resolution 23, Series 2016. A resolution recommending approval of an amendment to the Foundry subdivision final plat. Commission Questions of Staff: Hsu says can you focus on what lines are changing. Robinson says Blocks 1, 2, 3, and 4 are the residential buildings. In the new proposed plat, the lots are expanded and the outlot that separated them, the drive aisle, parking, and landscaping, has expanded to absorb it. The proposal is to get the parking on the same lot as the residential buildings. Moline says it looks like the land ownership associated with the access areas is adjusting. The traffic flow remains the same. Robinson says yes. Initially, it was one outlot where the drive aisles were. Now it is being split in half for residential versus commercial association. There is still an access easement with one drive aisle to serve the whole development. Applicant Presentation: Justin McClure, RMCS Inc., 1002 Griffith Street, Louisville, CO Alex Carlson and David Waldner Due to construction defect liability, there are two unique products that we are providing within the Foundry development. According to my lenders and legal counsel, we need to do a better job on our plat to separate the commercial and residential uses. There are three primary changes. 1. Looking at the Staff presentation, Block 1 is smaller in the previous plat than in the proposed because we need to pick up the garages. They did not belong in the tract but in the block for legal reasons. 2. The second change is the drive aisle needed to be split into two separate tracts. The western portion of the street can be specifically owned and maintained by the residential portion. The eastern portion will be owned and maintained by the commercial. 3. We had an outlying garage hanging in commercial land. It needed to be restricted for construction defect liability. These changes have resulted in a significant delay. We have not developed for -sale condos to date and are going through the challenges currently. Commission Questions of Applicant: None. Public Comment: None.
