Planning Commission Meeting Minutes OCTOBER 8, 2009 Page 2 of 6  Applicant and Representative: RVP Architecture, PC., Bob Van Pelt  Owner: Passaco Colorado Tech Industrial, LLC, Carey Levy  Case Manager: Paul Wood, Planning Director and Gavin McMillan, Planner II Public Notice Certification: Continued from the September 10, 2009 meeting therefore a new notice was not required. Agenda was posted in City Hall, Public Library, Recreation Center and Courts and Police Building. Conflict of Interest and Disclosure: None heard. Staff Report of Facts and Issues: Wood reviewed the revised plans that include the following changes:  Building 1 has been split into two separate 18,825 square foot buildings (Building 1A and 1B). The eastern façade of both of these buildings is 240 feet in length. The previous application showed one 40,200 square foot building with a 510 foot façade. The plan cover sheet has been modified to reflect this change as it affects the building square footage calculations and the parking ratios.  An additional water line, sewer line, and fire sprinkler water line have been added to the utility plan to service the additional building. Condition of approval #2 has been modified to include the presence of two water lines.  A pedestrian plaza/employee break area has been added between the two new buildings. The break area is 70 feet wide at the entrance, and then narrows to 30 feet on the interior. The western end of the break area is enclosed with two 13 foot high walls that screen it from the loading and parking area.  The landscaping on the western edge of the property that was originally shown on the adjacent property has been moved completely onto Lot 12. As a result of this change, the condition of approval associated with moving the landscaping completely onto Lot 12 has been removed from staff’s recommendation. Wood continued with a review of Resolution No. 9, Series 2009 and recommended approval of the Resolution with 3 conditions: 1. Prior to City Council approval the applicant will obtain a deed of easement from the owners of Lot 13 of the Colorado Technological Center Subdivision, Filing 2 to construct offsite improvements including a drainage culvert and rip rap on Lot 13. The development agreement will indicate that maintenance of these drainage improvements will be the responsibility of the owner of Lot 12. These documents will be recorded with the Boulder County Clerk and Recorder. 2. The development agreement will contain language outlining the responsibility of the owner of Lot 12 to operate and maintain the two City owned but privately maintained waterlines shown on the plans. 3. Prior to City Council approval the applicant will dedicate the utility and access easement shown on the utility plan to the City of Louisville.
