Louisville City Council Meeting June 5, 2001 Page 6 and Broomfield, and such disconnection is in furtherance of the comprehensive planning principles articulated in the IGA. Balser reported that Staff has had discussion with the Chair and Vice-Chair of the Louisville Citizens Open Space Advisory Board, and they had no comments. Light reviewed a map, which illustrated the disconnection of the parcels. He stated that the out-of-bound parcels legal descriptions in the ordinance are excluded from the disconnection by the yellow highlighted area (the old alignment of the Northwest Parkway), which will remain unincorporated for the time being. The ordinance will also exclude the hatched marked area (the new alignment of the Northwest Parkway). Light noted the ordinance amendments to the legal description to clarify those points of exclusion. He asked that on second reading of the ordinance, if approved, it be approved with Exhibit A. amendments. Light noted that the Exhibit has been revised with respect to parcels 1 and 2 to reflect the City's ownership interest. COUNCIL COMMENTS Sisk asked for clarification that the yellow and hatched marked areas of the map (the old and new alignment of the Northwest Parkway) would remain within the City of Louisville, and the balance would be disconnected. Light confirmed that the yellow and hatched marked areas would remain within the City. City Administrator Simmons stated that the transaction for the Northwest Parkway right- of-way is an ongoing activity. The area highlighted in yellow is now owned by the City of Broomfield. It is the intention to transfer that area to the Northwest Parkway Highway Authority. Simmons stated that with Council direction, he would work with the City of Broomfield and the Northwest Parkway. Sisk asked for clarification that if, the City proceeded forward with the disconnection, they would not lose control of the properties' open space conservation easements. Light confirmed Councilman Sisk's statement and stated that those transactions are also noted on the map. Light stated that there is one final transaction, and that is the annexation of parcel 3, which is further to the east~ He noted that eventually there will be a merging of all properties, and each party will receive half interest in all the properties. Sisk asked if the disconnection is in compliance with the IGA of the Northwest Parkway. Light responded yes to Councilman Sisk's question. Light explained the original agreement of the Northwest Parkway is not final, however, the land use descriptions remain the same as in the original IGA of the Northwest Parkway. MOTION: Mayer moved that Council approve Ordinance No. 1360, Series 2001, as amended, seconded by Levihn. 6
