Louisville City Council Meeting July 5, 2000 Page 16 Sisk asked the applicant to respond to the discussion on traffic patterns and the number of roundtrip envisioned by the applicant. Kelley stated that while their projection is a conservative estimate, a survey of another private school showed carpooling accommodating 2.5 students per car, therefore they have projected 512 roundtrips per day. Sisk remarked that when Council first learned of the Peak to Peak proposal, there were to be 110 students who were Louisville residents. Now Peak to Peak has projected that only 71 students would be Louisville residents. Sisk asked Kelley to explain why only 20% of enrollment would be Louisville residents. Kelley stated that there were 130 applications from Louisville, but not all of the students who applied were accepted. She noted that during open enrollment it was not clear where the school would be. She stated from her experience that people who live in the immediate area are attracted to a new school, therefore the enrollment for Louisville may increase. Kelley stated that she wished to include additional information on the traffic issue. She stated that a 24-hour traffic count was conducted on Boxelder Street, and in front of Fireside and Louisville Elementary Schools. She reported the results of the survey: Fireside Elementary - 3,168 total vehicles, Louisville Elementary - 5,526 total vehicles, Boxelder - 1,031 total vehicles. Kelly reported on the number of trucks passing in front of those locations, the results are as follows: Fireside Elementary - 41, Louisville Elementary - 123, Boxelder - 64. Keany stated that comments were made about codes and convenants. He noted that the CTC convenants cannot be enforced by the City. He asks if the SRU application is approved, would the school be at risk for civil action that would prohibit the opening. Stephen C. Larson, 1'310 Laurel Street, Broomfield, CO, stated that he is an attorney and that the issue would be a private concern between Peak to Peak School and the landowners in that area. He stated that although he had not read the covenants, he felt there were numerous ways to resolve issues, including amending the covenants. He stated that it was not a proper issue for Council's consideration on the SRU application. Terry O'Connor, SPF, LLC, 6685 Gun Park Drive, Boulder, CO, stated that he is the owner of the property in question. He noted that he has been a property owner in CTC for 20 years, and that he was not aware of any language in the convenants that prohibits a school. 16
