City Council Meeting Minutes November 21, 2006 Page 11 of 17 Mayor Pro Tem Brown inquired as to the lots to the west of McCaslin. Planning Director Wood stated those lots are restricted to single-story houses, with a limited footprint. Mayor Sisk requested public comment. Eva Kosinsky, 1301 Jackson Court, Louisville, CO asked if the Staff's recommendation included a change in zoning. Planning Director Wood stated the Staff recommendation included the reduced lot size, cluster development and the open space. Donald Tadeburg, 1561 Kennedy Avenue, Louisville, CO stated he understood the sewer line connection along Kennedy Avenue could not serve the proposed McStain subdivision. Public Works Director Phare stated the same line that services Kennedy Avenue would be sufficient to serve more than 25 new homes. Seth Johnson, 979 West Willow, Louisville, CO requested Council make a determination on the proposal and not send it back to the Planning Commission. Eric Whitenberg, President and CEO of McStain Neighborhood stated the proposed development is an opportunity for McStain to return to the City, develop a green build community and provide open space.
