He felt it will bring many benefits to the City of Louisville and provide eco- friendly buildings. He explained if ConocoPhillips is allowed to build 95' buildings, it would reduce the size and the look of the outdoor parking lots, by providing underground parking. COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilor Muckle asked if all the conditions requested by the Planning Commission have been met. Principal Planner McCartney confirmed all the conditions were met. Councilor Muckle voiced his support for the Open Space Advisory Board's recommendations for the quallity of the public land dedication. Councilor Dalton commented on Resolution No. 12, Series 2010, Section 1(g), which requires LEED's certification and requested the requirement be stricken. Mayor Sisk requested Resolution No. 12, Series 2010, Section 1(h), which stipulates Staff will work with ConocoPhillips to mitigate negative impacts to Paradise Lane, also be stricken. He explained the Northwest Parkway Agreement already mitigates negative impacts to Paradise Lane. He felt a basis for waivers on building heights has been established and noted building height waivers should not be confused with vested property rights. PUBLIC COMMENTS Richard Lopez, 4450 Arapahoe, Boulder, CO Attorney representing the property owners of 9350 Paradise Lane, explained his clients will be impacted by the ConocoPhillips development. They are one of the two remaining property owners who will have some collateral effects of this development. He was encouraged with the recommendation for ConocoPhillips to work with the property owners to mitigate the negative impacts. He objected to the removal of the clause. COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilor Muckle asked if ConocoPhillips had any problem working with the Paradise Lane property owners by establishing creative landscaping berms. Mary Manning, ConocoPhillips General Manager for Corporate Real Estate explained the landscaping for the subject property will address any negative impact to the Paradise Lane properties. She opposed the language in Section 1(h) and felt it singles out ConocoPhillips in a relationship which has already been established. Mayor Sisk closed the public hearings on Resolutions No. 10, 11, and 12, Series 2010, and Ordinance No. 1568 and Ordinance No. 1569, Series 2010.
