Louisville City Council Meeting July 3, 2001 Page 6 Diane Shepard, 817 St. Andrews Lane, Louisville, CO, stated that her home is directly across from the Maurer property. She voiced concern for the safety of the lot itself. She explained that the lot has a very deep slope, which backs up to Dillon Road. She noted that in bad weather, there are accidents on Dillon Road and a few cars have rolled down the hill. She questioned the safety of building on the lot and stated that the driveway would cross an 8" and 10" high-pressure gas line. She asked if the private homeowner is obligated to maintain property over a high-pressure gas line. She requested Council to look at the whole area with respect to Dillon Road. Ray Schlott, 647 Manorwood Lane, Louisville CO, stated that he represents the Board of Director of the Coal Creek Ranch Master Association, Inc. He presented a copy of the preliminary agreement between the CCRMS and Todd and Calla Lovrien. The agreement addresses maintenance of Outtot E, owned by the City and maintained by the CCRMS. Schlott stated that, contingent upon the final approval of the agreement, between CCRMS and the Lovrien's, the Association supports the adoption of Resolution No. 18, Series 2001. The agreement includes protection of the Association and the City of Louisville's interest regarding the continued maintenance Outlot E. The agreement includes the annexation by the Association of the property into the CCRMA, which includes rights, privileges and responsibilities, as applicable to other property owners in Coal Creek Ranch. By annexation into the Coal Creek Ranch, Architectural Control Guidelines will apply to home construction, except where the requirements of SF-E zoning are more stringent as it pertains to building height and setbacks. Schlott stated that should the City of Louisville deny the annexation request, the agreement between Todd and Calla Lovrien and the Coal Creek Ranch Master Association would be void. Greg McMenamin, 808 Spyglass Circle, Louisville, CO, expressed concern over the development of the lot. He stated that although it is not its intended use, the neighbors have enjoyed the open space area of this property for some time. He stated that the parcel ties into the Louisville open space property and is used by pedestrians. He voiced disappointed that the City did not contract with the Maurers' for the acquisition of the property for open space. He addressed a trail made by pedestrian and suggested that if the home is to be built, an easement be acquired to continue the connection from Dillon to St. Andrews. He voiced disappointed that the Open Space Advisory Board found that the access across the trail was acceptable. He stated his belief that it sets a precedence to allow a private drive to cut across an established bike path. He reported that the neighbors living in the area are very concerned over the driveway crossing over a bike path. He asked Council to consider the thoughts and concerns of the neighbors. Davidson closed the public hearing. Davidson stated that he visited the site and the area referred to as open space is actually an irrigated park. Davidson asked City Attorney Sam Light for clarification of Resolution No. 30, Series 2001, Section 1.d. "The area proposed to be annexed is integrated with or 6
