Keany expressed concern for the building's height, however, he stated that he finds the <br />height of the four towers 'more alarming.' He suggested reviewing the height limits <br />imposed by Boulder County on churches in agricultural areas for comparison to this <br />project. He expressed concern for the light plan, specifically overlighting the site in the <br />evenings when there were are no church events or functions taking place. He stated that <br />there is no way to know what the traffic counts will be in fifteen years, therefore it is <br />possible that exiting traffic at the proposed the church site would be required to enter <br />onto or cross over a four-lane road. He was doubtful that installing a signal light would <br />remedy the situation. He expressed support for a church site in an agriculturally zoned <br />area, however, he stated that traffic in and out of the schools would be a significant <br />impact to the surrounding area. He stated that it appears on the plans that the school <br />baseball field extends into the open space that is being dedicated to the City. <br /> <br />Levihn agreed with Keany. He stated that the railroad might eventually become a <br />commuter railroad and questioned whether the noise from the railroad would interfere <br />with the church and school. <br /> <br />Davidson expressed support for building a regional church at this location. He agreed <br />with Mayer, Lathrop and Keany regarding the traffic impacts. He asked Phare whether <br />CTC would be funding the cost to extend the water line. <br /> <br />Phare replied the City and CTC would be funding the extension. He explained that the <br />sixteen-inch line is already in place in the railroad right-of-way. There is a secondary line <br />proposed along Dillon Road as a supplement to CTC, however, it does not extend to the <br />church site. CTC, the Metr0Politian District, and the City of Louisville Water Fund are <br />funding the secondary line. He explained that it would be the responsibility of the church <br />property owner to extend water lines internally into properties to the north and south in <br />order for a complete system to be in place. <br /> <br />Davidson reminded Remin that the cost to extend an existing City water line would be <br />the responsibility of the property owner requiring the extension. <br /> <br />Davidson asked Phare whether a special district built the sewer lines within CTC. <br /> <br />Phare replied, yes. He explained that they were conveyed to the City years ago. The <br />special district sized them; however, they do meet minimum size requirements. He agreed <br />that the lines would need to be evaluated to determine whether they could be tapped into. <br /> <br />Davidson explained that the City also requires users of any major street expansion' to <br />participate in funding the expansion. He expressed concern for approving a height <br />variance on a preliminary PUD in light of the recent State Legislature actions regarding <br />vesting. He explained that this property is the third property that the church has <br />purchased, and expressed concern that the height variance could extend to future owners <br />due to vesting rights. He questioned granting a traffic easement through agricultural land, <br />as it would destroy the farm use. He explained that in Louisville, which is a statutory city, <br /> <br />19 <br /> <br /> <br />
