Planning Commission Meeting Minutes January 12, 2017 Page 11 of 29 Sheets says my analysis of it is very similar to Rice, although when I look at the benefit to the City in terms of when is it appropriate to give these waivers, I come up with the opposite conclusion. I am not convinced that the exchange they are giving to the community is worth the waivers. I feel I am trying to adhere to the Code. I have not seen the need for the waiver. I thank the applicant for including the trailhead; it is a nice addition. I do not think the 8 parking spaces alone will affect whether people will use this site and walk from the bus or take a bike. I run on this frequently and it is completely accessible with/without the additions. For me, these are substantial waiver requests and I think we are constrained in terms of the Code. I will vote against this. O'Connell says I think it is a close call. On the floodplain issues, this is extremely technical and I will lean towards relying on the City engineer's assessment. I have concerns about the proximity of residential. I would be bothered by the lack of parking if they weren't so close to the RTC station. We are looking at a'/2 mile distance. I appreciate how this is an investment and long-term thought on the property. Medtronic is the type of employer we want to retain in Louisville. In light of the other waivers, the location, and the reasons given, I find myself leaning in favor. I don't like the idea of looking towards the entire development for open space versus the lot. I don't think we want to set a precedent. I am interested to hear what City Council has to say. Motion made by Rice to approve Medtronic PUD/Plat: Resolution 01, Series 2017, A resolution recommending approval of an amended Planned Unit Development (PUD) for Coal Creek Business Park and amended Planned Unit Development (PUD) for a corporate Center I Coal Creek Business Park for a 40,000 SF office expansion (Lot 2 and Tract B Coal Creek Business Park), 1.
