Planning Commission Meeting Minutes June 09, 2022 Page 13 of 14 We do not design the shape of those roadways. It does seem like traffic is a major concern and that adding additional people regardless of the density, will increase that problem. It seems like a reasonable request to have the city look into it. He also address the comments on dog waste. There will be dog waste stations throughout our property. Those will not be limited to only residents. Addressing the commercial building, we do not set the standards for use requirements, the city does. We have created a thoughtful, creative mixed -use proposal that includes commercial. When he mentioned it could be a coffee shop, that does not mean that it will be a coffee shop. We work cooperatively with tenants and business owners on what that space could be. We have heard from neighbors and intend to acknowledge any agreement or requirement that exists. We cannot satisfy everybody, but at the end of the day we will do our best. Closing Statement by Staff. Ritchie addresses Commissioner Osterman's previous question about development. The previous PUD assumed approximately 15,800 sq ft of commercial development potential; however, that was only a portion of the entirety of the building itself. That is 66% of the space within the live -work units. Imbedded in some other notes, 66% of the structure can be used residentially. Staff is supportive of the application as submitted. Moline says because this proposal is similar to the previous proposal, is that why a new traffic study was not conducted? Ritchie says staff did not request an additional traffic study for this application. Going from 41 to 66 dwelling units, in staff's opinion, is not significant enough and does not warrant transportation improvements for the additional 25 units. Moline asks if staff can speak on the traffic improvements that are in conjunction with the Highway 42 Framework Plan and how that affects this application. Ritchie says Louisville and the surrounding cities are doing a transportation study on a project called Future 42. The study looks at what the accommodation will look like for pedestrians and bicycles along Highway 42. Zuccaro adds that there are no additional traffic signals planned for this project. Krantz mentions that there is an increase in the units but a decrease in the size of the units. Are there projected differences in the population such as the number of people and cars between the two? Ritchie says the current PUD does factor in the bedroom count. The city's parking code is based on the number of bedrooms. She is unsure if the previous Delo project broke out their bedroom count but she can follow up with that in a future staff report. Howe asks if staff can look into the drainage concern. Ritchie says Public Works staff are continuing the look into the drainage. Howe says if the street to the south of Caledonia Street was extended through, how many parking spaces would be lost if any? Ritchie says given the proposal, there would be no loss in parking spaces if it is a private road. If it is public right of way, the width requirements are different. Diehl asks how you keep it private. Would it be one way going out? Ritchie says no, it would be two ways. It is just the width dimensions change if it becomes right of way. Howe asks if the private road is maintained by the developer. Ritchie says that is correct. 15
