Louisville City Council Meeting September 19, 2000 Page 16. Tave Fruge~, 383 Spruce Lane, Louisville, CO stated that he lives 200' from the property and was not asked to sign the open space petition. He doubted that the persons signing the petition actually lived in the neighborhood. He was not aware of any mention of a gated community in the proposal or at any of the neighborhood meetings. Scott Scarbaugh, Fischer Farms LLC, 1823 Canyon Boulevard, Boulder, CO, stated that the concerns voiced this evening are all PUD issues, and that he looked forward to the opportunity to discuss them. Scarbaugh stated that open space is a separate issue that could be dealt with. He stated that there are not plans to build a gated-community, but that was a PUD issue. Rob Ellwood-Digel, 275 W. Walnut Street, Louisville, CO clarified that the petition of 101 signatures is valid. He stated that the signatures were from the neighborhood. He noted that no specific homes were targeted or avoided. He noted that the developer made two proposals, one for 23 homes, and another for 10 homes and that no other options were given. He stated that, at the community meetings, there was never a clear vote taken, just a show of hands. He encouraged the Council to make a fair offer for the Fischer property. Lynda Kithil, 891 N. Hoover Avenue, Louisville, CO stated that her back yard backs up to the eastern edge of the Fischer property and that she attended the neighborhood meeting when the developing partners made the proposal. She noted the first proposal was for 23 buildings, the second was for 10 and after the discussion, it was put to vote between the 23 and the l0 buildings, and nothing else. She stated that at no time was a plan for open space or any other designation mentioned. She noted that the vote was in favor of 10 over 23 structures. She expressed her sadness at the loss of the open space and wildlife. She stated that if the proposal is approved, she would request only 7 structures and that there be two entrances into the development. Davidson closed the public hearing.
