Planning Commission Meeting Minutes September 08, 2022 Page 8 of 13 • This proposed plat is submitted in accordance with the governing GDP that was approved in 2010. • Our vision is to build a pre-eminent life and biosciences campus for the most innovative companies in the world, complete with next -generation laboratories and manufacturing facilities. • We want new homes and a safer, more efficient location for Avista Hospital. • This is the second largest public land dedicate ever, being a $55 million donation. • This will have the best -in -class sustainability and conservation features. • It has an innovative habitat management plan. • This will create an extension of Campus Drive, which is a top unfunded priority in Louisville's TMP. Commissioner Questions of Applicant: Diehl asks why Paradise Lane is considered a part of the public land dedication. Is it because you own that? Baukol says that is correct. Moline asks if he can explain why they find that an appropriate space for public land dedication. Baukol says it is a good location because it is a space that is connecting to other open space areas. This is an important connector to all the open space to the north. Howe asks if he is correct that there can be residential on the lots north of Campus Drive. Baukol says that is right. Once we dedicate the land, there is no building on the land ever. Osterman says in regards to what is new in this plat, the proposal is 2.55 million square feet. How does that compare to the 2021 GDP and the spread of land that will be used to build out that square footage. There was a lot of public comments about trying to consolidate the development. Was there consideration of approaches to try to consolidate? Baukol says the current GDP had approval for 2.55 million square feet. The 2021 proposed GDP was 3.1 million square feet. In terms of where the development goes, another consideration of the public land dedication was to keep more a rural feel on the west side and keep traffic and the development on the east side. He mentions that questions have been asked in previous meetings about height for buildings. He does not know what height will look like because they do not know what use will be built on that side. That is a PUD question and will be discussed at that time. Krantz asks if he can address the difference in the footprint in comparison to the current GDP and the 2021 GDP. Zuccaro makes a clarification. The 2010 GDP does not address the 200 acres you are addressing. That was on the preliminary PUD that was also reviewed and approved in 2010 but has since expired. That is not a regulatory document anymore. That document is the 2010 GDP, which does not have any requirements of clustering buildings or the common open space. Krantz asks if there was an additional 29 acres including the area around the pond and the triangle to the left (referencing two comparison maps of the previously approved and the current proposal). Baukol says what Planning Commission approved last year is the previously approved image. 10
