<br />Louisville City Council Meeting <br />February 15,2005 <br />Page 9 of 14 <br /> <br />Rob Layton, Design Concept, reviewed the two sites, and noted the Louisville Recreation <br />property has some challenges, such as drainage and lack of parking. The one <br />disadvantage of the Monarch site is the property belongs to the Boulder Valley School <br />District. The advantages, are they would accommodate three multi-purpose fields and <br />have connectivity to the trail system. <br /> <br />Land Management Director Cindy Lair reported on receiving telephone calls from <br />homeowners who have concerns and oppose the drainage site. She noted the input from <br />the coaches and the City's Recreation Staff is that a larger site is required. <br /> <br />COUNCIL COMMENT <br /> <br />Council member Van Pelt addressed the cost of the Monarch School Campus site and <br />voiced her concern over the City investing a large amount of money on property owned <br />by the school district. <br /> <br />Council member Brown agreed and stated City owned land should be considered. <br /> <br />Council member Keany noted the study included joint usage by the City of Lafayette and <br />the Town of Superior. He suggested the property located south of Kings Soopers could <br />possibly be used for multi-purpose field. <br /> <br />Mayor Sisk voiced his concern that neither site includes lighted fields. He stressed there <br />would be resident concerns with lighted fields south of the Recreation Center. His <br />concern also centered on a large capital expenditure for a part-time facility. <br /> <br />Land Management Director Lair stated the new Citywide Comprehensive Plan would <br />provide future locations for multi-purpose fields. <br /> <br />Council member Brown stated his understanding that the need is for practice fields. <br />Barholt stated the drainage area at the Recreation Center is basically maxed out. He noted <br />the intent was not to build a tournament quality field, but rather a field large enough to <br />accommodate more than one sports activity at a time. <br /> <br />Mayor Sisk suggested Council direct Staff to engage in discussions with School District, <br />and ascertain other sites for multi-purpose fields. There was Council consensus. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION/DIRECTION - FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE BIELLA <br />MENKICK PROPERTY INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH THE <br />TOWN OF SUPERIOR <br /> <br />Mayor Sisk requested a Staff presentation. <br /> <br />9 <br />
