Planning Commission Meeting Minutes August 9, 2018 Page 4 of 12 Dean responded that the pipe was in the center of the easement and the property was at the edge of the easement. There was a historical ditch easement in that location. Williams asked about the current service levels at the intersection and how the Highway 42 project would affect those levels. Dean stated that the access plan had already been approved. C-DOT would make sure that the final intersection design will meet the level of service requirements. Zuccaro stated that the level of service should not change from when it was approved a couple of years ago. The C-DOT letter refers to the geometry of the intersection, which could impact level of service of some of the movements but the impact would not be significant. C-DOT was mainly concerned with the safety of an offset intersection. Zuccaro and Williams discussed future plans for how to deal with the service issue. Williams stated that she hoped someone would analyze it down the line. Zuccaro stated that it was not staff's intent to analyze the issue but the Commission could make it a condition. The applicant would have to do an additional traffic analysis. Williams responded that she did not think it needed to be a condition. Brauneis asked how much of an impact the elimination of the detention pond would have on the capacity of the regional detention pond. Zuccaro stated that the storm water retention requirements were being met on -site. Williams asked if the City had other joint management plans with HOAs similar to the proposed alley management for this project. Zuccaro stated that there were a lot of private roads with public access in Louisville and a few instances with alley improvements that have required private management. Any of the alleys in this development that serve the subdivision would be maintained by the HOA. The applicant pointed out that they should not have to maintain the part of the alley that did not serve their subdivision, so half of the alley is private and half of it is public. Williams asked about the two drainage sites. Dean stated that the ditch was not providing drainage, it was moving water historically. She clarified that the HOA would not maintain anything going under Highway 42. Williams stated the arrangement as she understood it was a huge burden for an HOA. Dean stated that the other commercial properties in the proposal are also required to maintain the detention pond and other shared aspects. This type of division of responsibility is standard for the City. Zuccaro added that staff did not know the final structure of the management agreement. Staff will work with the development agreements to define management responsibilities.
