City Council Meeting Minutes February 6, 2024 Page 12 of 14 Authority and 2) prior to the City Council hearing on the final plat, the applicant shall address all Public Works comments on the Traffic and Mobility Study. Mayor Pro Tern Dickinson asked what the City or the applicant can do to solve the intersection of US 36 and the Northwest Parkway which will reach failure sooner with the additional traffic. Community Development Director Zuccaro stated that intersection is also impacted by development in nearby Broomfield. When CDOT does move forward on that intersection they may ask the City to contribute to the upgrades but we won't know until CDOT moves something forward. Staff has reached out to CDOT but they have not gotten any real information from them at this point. Councilmember Dickinson asked about the overall impact of this development on congestion on Campus Drive. Director Zuccaro stated that when Campus Drive is built through to 96t" it will is expected to reduce the congestion on Campus at 88t" Street. Councilmember Dickinson asked how the upgrades at the intersection at 96t" will be improved. Director Zuccaro stated that the subdivision improvement agreement will include an agreement with the applicant on what they will be expected to pay for those upgrades. Those details will need to be worked out when the final plat comes to City Council for consideration. Councilmember Hamlington asked if the underpass could be closer to the school. Director Zuccaro stated the underpasses are in the proposed locations is because the drainage is in those areas would facilitate the underpasses in those locations. A trail location with an enhanced crossing is suggested for the school crossing. Councilmember Hamlington asked why the Planning Commission reviewed both the preliminary and final plat but only the preliminary is coming to Council. Director Zuccaro stated that there were delays in the process while the applicant worked with the Northwest Parkway on their issues. In the meantime, the applicant wanted to see if Council approved the preliminary plat before it spent more time and resources on the details in the final plat. Councilmember Hamlington asked if the final plat could be remanded back to Planning Commission if Council wanted it to be reviewed by them. Director Zuccaro stated yes.
