Stat! Report of Facts and Issues: Wood requested a motion to enter into record all the meeting packet material for the March 20, 2008 Planning Commission meeting, the power point presentation that will be used during the staff and applicant presentation, and the draft Resolution NO.5. Pritchard moved and Russell seconded a motion to enter all items into public record. Motion passed by voice vote. Wood provided a brief summary of the project by presenting the following new points of information: . Land Use: ~ Planning Area # 1: An amendment to the Comprehensive Plan would not be required. ~ Planning Area # 2: A total of 49 residential units (reduced from the previous request of 5 7 units), resulting in a density of 7.14 dwelling units per acre. Based on the given land area the maximum number of units under the Low Density designation would be 34 units, thus the applicant is requesting an increase of 15 units. Staff supports the increase in density as the higher density provides a more compact development footprint allowing for a park dedication as well as providing a good transition in residential density for Planning Area # 1. The increase in density does not exceed the limitation set by the Comp Plan. . Fiscal Health: Staff finds the project is consistent with the Comp Plan in that the development enables the City to maintain or enhance its fiscal position. . General Development Plan: Wood stated the Takoda GDP is consistent with the submittal requirements as set forth in Section 17.72.030 of the LMC. The GDP reflects a total residential allocation of 3 50 units. . Public-Use Dedication: based on the total land area a dedication of8.89 acres is required. The proposed dedication of non-encumbered land is 9.05 acres. The encumbered land is an additional 4.78 acres. If authorized, a total dedication of 13.83 acres would result in a 22.7% dedication. . Vehicle Access and Traffic Impacts: As a condition of preliminary approval the applicant was required to acquire approval of an Access Permit from the Colorado Department of Transportation for the intersection of Paschal and HWY 42. At this time, Staff has not received an update from the applicant as to the status of the required access permit.
