this requirement is based upon the need to maintain open access for fire fighting operations. The initial submittal was deficient with respect to this requirement on both the north and south property lines. The revised PUD has eliminated one of the truck loading bays on the north side, which now opens up the UBC setback to the required 60 feet. With respect to the south property line, the City does agree to accept a proposed no-build, underground utility, and emergency access easement, which the City Attomey's office is drafting. The grant will be designated for emergency ingress/egress and will provide that the easement remain unobstructed except for landscaping and paving. Wood was then available to answer questions. Davidson called for the applicant's presentation. Walter Koelbel, Jr., President of Koelbel & Company, expressed appreciation for the cooperation and response they have received from City staff. Steve Wilson, CLC Associates, Inc., reviewed changes to the PUD in response to Council and Planning Commission concems. He was then available to answer questions. Davidson called for public comments. Meena Mirshals Keuer, 462 Muirfield Circle, Louisville, Colorado, stated she is very disappointed that the City would even consider allowing a Sam's Club to locate in Louisville. She doesn't see the need for another membership warehouse. She feels the charm of Louisville is its small tom feel and the chain stores & restaurants locating in Louisville are removing that charm. Davidson called for Council questions and comments. Sisk questioned Thomas Oppenheim, Civil Engineering Manager for WalMart, as to whether deliveries would be made at night. Oppenheim replied WalMart's policy is to deliver within the business hours of each store. If this is unsatisfactory to the City, the distribution center manager can schedule deliveries within the hours you choose. Sisk asked whether the applicant would object to Council placing a condition that no trucks would remain on site for a period of more than twenty-four hours. Bert Diesendorf, Real Estate Manager for WalMart stores, replied that it would be difficult to commit to this condition. During peak times such as the holiday season, truck traffic will increase and staff may not be able to unload every truck within a twenty-four hour period. Sisk questioned why the Sam's Club in Steamboat Springs could commit to this condition but they could not.
