Planning Commission Meeting Minutes June 09, 2022 Page 12 of 14 Michael McClure, 1082 Griffith St, Louisville, CO 80027 McClure says the density is interesting to him, especially discussing having a higher center density. The center seems to be more in the downtown area. He questions where the center density should actually be. He does not think it is necessary to maximize the density. Debra Sirkin, 1085 Johnson Ln, Louisville, CO 80027 Sirkin mentions that this development would be placed right in front of her property. She is worried about the increase in density in that it creates more people and increased traffic. She encourages the commissioners to think of the ramifications of having more units, which leads to more schools, police, and firefighters. She is concerned about parking and how little parking availability there will be once this development is built. She mentions that there will be greater noise, which is often the case for apartment renters. She thinks a traffic study should be conducted for this development. Karl Cantrel, 945 Griffith St, Louisville, CO 80027 Cantrel says he finds it odd that the elected officials for this ward are not present for this meeting. He believes the PUD that expired last year was too high in density and this proposal is even greater in density. A traffic light is needed on Griffith St. near Highway 42. He has concerns that the area is already too dense and that there will not be enough dog waste areas for this development. He believes the commercial space will be vacant and it will be difficult to find a tenant for the space. Joshua Cooperman, 216 Griffith St, Louisville, CO 80027 Cooperman says he is in favor of this development and the density proposed. Given the proximity of downtown, it seems like a good area to have greater residential housing density. A higher density means there will be more affordable housing within the City. He is concerned about how much traffic there will be on Griffith St., especially since the middle school is near there. Regarding the waiver on the setback for parking, he thinks it would be beneficial for the City to add a condition to require solar carports. In addition, he requests that the lighting would be full cutoff lighting. He asks if there will be recycling and compost bins. He also asks what the color of the roof will be and if there will be solar panels on them. Michael Deborski, 601 Pine St, Louisville, CO 80027 Deborski asks that the developer honor the past agreements for this property. He mentions the traffic concerns and gives suggestions of how to minimize traffic. Moline moves and Howe seconds a motion to enter the public comments and addendum one and two, received via email, into the meeting packet. Motion passes unanimously by a voice vote. Closing Statement by Applicant: Murphy says they do take seriously the verbal and written comments made by the public. As far as traffic and parking is concerned, traffic is something that we do not have in our control. We work with city staff to be cooperative with what is being presented to us, and that we agree with those requirements from a functionality standpoint. We do not dictate who parks or how many cars will drive across the road. 14
