City Council Meeting Minutes April 18, 2006 Page 9 of 16 fee agreement negotiated. As two more cities must sign the IGA amendment, he requested Ordinance No. 1456, Series 2004 be continued. Mayor Sisk opened the public hearing on Ordinance No. 1456, Series 2004, and requested the comments of the City Attorney and Mr. Lopez be included. COUNCIL COMMENT Mayor Pro Tem Brown and Council member Marsella voiced their support for the IGA amendment. Council member Muckle asked if the City is obligated to rezone the property. City Attorney Light stated the City was ordered by the court to annex the property, but no order was made relative to the zoning. The IGA provides for the property's zoning and without an amendment the land use cannot be changed. Council member Muckle asked how the $14,000 per acre for open space acquisitions was derived. City Manager Simmons stated the Boulder County Planning Staff investigated their history of rural open space acquisitions and the parties then negotiated the $14,000 per acre purchase price. Council member Muckle questioned whether $14,000 per acre price would actually purchase open space. He asked if all the property was purchased by a developer would the City get all the open space acquisition money at once, or at the time of platting. He requested in the event of a replat or a sale of the property in its entirety, all the open space money be paid to the City. Council member Sackett asked if the IGA amendment would permit housing developments. City Attorney Light stated the IGA amendment outlines the zoning for Industrial. City Attorney Light explained the property is 33.7 acres and when the number of developable acreage is calculated, less the 12% land dedication and right-of-way dedication, the net acreage would be approximately 29 acres.
