Planning Commission Meeting Minutes February 11, 2010 Page 11 of 15 Sherry Angel, 288 Lois Dr., Louisville stated the 95’ height request seems to be a lot but she supports the project because of the benefits the project will bring to Louisville. Michael Menaker, 1827 W. Choke Cherry Dr., Louisville stated his support of the project as well as the requested height waivers. Seth Sovak (unknown address) discussed his interest to encourage ConocoPhillips to include an edible landscape on campus which would allow the food venders to use the fresh produce grown on the campus. Lipton asked for additional public comment. Hearing none he closed the public comment portion of the hearing. Lipton requested the City Attorney discuss the mineral rights concerns identified earlier in the meeting. Light stated ConocoPhillips is required to provide certification of contacting those with interest in the mineral rights. They have provided the required certification. They should continue to work with the Lessee’s of the mineral rights as it is a private matter. Sheets asked for a clarification of objections in the letters received in the meeting packet. Light stated the letters request to withhold final plat approval. Lipton inquired about the waivers being requested. Light stated the waivers would be addressed at final review. He cited LMC 17.28.110 and 17.28.120 as specific sections of the Louisville Municipal Code that provide what they are required to comply with. He continued with a clarification that the General Development Plan (GDP) does not authorize height waivers. Planning Commission Questions to Staff and Applicant: Sheets had questions regarding the Paradise Lane property owners and the extension of Campus Drive. Manning stated five (5) of the eight (8) property owners had negotiated sale contracts with ConocoPhillips. The extension of Campus Drive would be possible with these purchases of those properties. Paul Betzer, Consultant, PTRRC, stated the properties not purchased were not necessary to develop Campus Drive and since they could not reach a purchase agreement ConocoPhillips did not continue the purchase negotiations. Pritchard asked Stevens (Louisville Parks & Recreation Director) questions regarding the 12% land dedication and how the development fits with the master plan. Stevens stated the need for additional discussion and the consideration of a combination of land and cash-in-lieu payment.
