Louisville City Council Meeting June 19, 2001 Page 4 owners, is requesting an amendment to the IGA to allow this request to move forward. Consideration of a plan amendment to the IGA would be required during the public hearing process. Wood stated that the referral was sent to the Northwest Parkway on January 4, 2001, and responses have been received from the IGA jurisdictions. Davidson called for applicant presentation. Mr. Richard Lopez, 4450 Arapahoe Avenue, Boulder, CO, attorney and planner representing the owners, reviewed that the annexation proposal is in substantial compliance and that all the statutory requirements have been met. He stated that this annexation will serve the public interests of the City of Louisville as development is planned on three sides of the property. He addressed the position that Lafayette has taken with respect to the amendment to the Northwest Parkway IGA, and stated that at the time of their initial response, there was pending litigation in the Paradise Lane lawsuit. He noted that the lawsuit has been finalized and is no longer an issue, therefore, the request for an amendment to the IGA can proceed. He stated that with respect to Boulder County's request for the City to designate additional land for rural preservation, that is a matter for the City of Louisville to decide. He stated that the de-annexation of a certain amount of land zoned Industrial for Rural Preservation would satisfy Boulder County's concerns. COUNCIL COMMENT Sisk asked Mr. Lopez the basis of his submittal of a letter to I.K. & Virginia Hoyle, dated March 24, 1980, and written by City of Louisville Community Development Director John Rupp. Lopez stated that the letter was in the possession of the Hoyle family and represents that the Hoyle property is in fact an enclave. Sisk asked Mr. Lopez if he was suggesting that the letter offers to annex the property subject to the Hoyle's acceptance. Lopez stated that it could be considered an offer, which was not responded to. Sisk commented that the letter represented the position of the City of Louisville in 1980 and asked if the Hoyle's had submitted any requests for annexation prior to last year. Lopez stated that the Peak-to-Peak Charter School had filed a petition that he believed to be the same property. Brown commented on the Boulder County letter for a one-to-one replacement of rural preservation and asked what options are available for the City. Planning Director Wood stated that he has not identified any parcels that meet the criteria to be further restricted by inclusion in an IGA. He stated his opinion that it would require undesignated properties be brought into an IGA to accomplish a one-to-one ratio. 4
