City Council Meeting Minutes February 20, 2024 Page 5 of 12 Councilmember Bierman asked for clarity on the traffic impacts. Director Zuccaro stated those are daily trips distributed through the whole day at full build out. Right now there is no traffic, this would add traffic to the network. He noted all 21,000 trips aren't on a single road at once. CTC is a larger development and it's helpful to think about the traffic around there. There will be road improvements to add capacity to the network. Councilwoman Kern asked about any additional time it will take for residents on the west side of town to access the hospital in its proposed new location. The applicant responded that the Fire Department looked at their response time and determined the Campus Drive build out will help reduce times. Councilmember Hamlington asked if the agreement with Boulder Valley School District (BVSD) is expired for the Campus Drive expansion. Director Zuccaro was not sure as there have been a couple of resolutions, but final approval would be required at the time of final plat and BVSD will need to deed right of way for the project. Councilmember Hamlington asked if there were any conversations on annexing parcels that are outside of Louisville. Director Zuccaro said there is an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with Boulder County regarding Paradise Lane that would allow annexation, but there hasn't been any contemplation of that. Mayor Leh noted the condition that prior to City Council hearing of the final plat there must be an agreement with the Northwest Parkway on Campus Drive. He asked if there was any development on this. Director Zuccaro said City staff has not received any further information on that. The applicant stated the final IGA with Northwest Parkway will come with the final plat application. Mayor Leh asked for a status. The applicant responded that they are waiting for comments back on their submission. Mayor Leh stated the second condition is the applicant will address all outstanding Public Works issues and he asked if any of those been addressed. Director Zuccaro answered that there are some outstanding technical issues that need to be addressed. Public Comments Stephanie Schlageter, Louisville Business Owner, expressed that she is favor of the redevelopment plan and sees this as nothing but a clear plus. This is an abandoned site that no one can use. We need to ensure that Avista is not lost to another community. Iona Kearney, Louisville Chamber Board of Directors, asked the Council to support the project. She supports innovative measures for transit and additional trails; the future relocation and upgrade of the hospital; sustainability pursuits; and creation of more than 139 acres of public land.
