City Council <br />Meeting Minutes <br />December 18, 2012 <br />Page 10of 17 <br />Mike Frontzak, 643Fairfield Lane, Louisville, CO commented there can be no retail <br />without people. He did not object to multi-family units or senior citizen housing. He <br />stated nothing was carvedin stoneandthe drawings donot mean this is exactly what <br />will happen. All of the development requestswill still have to go through the process. <br />He felt Options #1 and #2 are basically where the City is now. <br />Council member Loo stated she sensed a divided Council. She requested Council send <br />a clear message to staff on which option should go forward. She supportedOption#4 <br />or Option #5, but sensed others on Council were leaning towardOption #2. She asked <br />for compromise on both sidesand requested Council to agree on Option #3. <br />Mayor Muckle suggested approving Option #2 and then move forward on a small area <br />planfor theMcCaslin area.At that point the Comprehensive Plan couldbe amended. <br />Mayor Pro Tem Dalton felt the framework shown in Option #4 was the controversy. He <br />supported coming together with Option #3 and consideringashorter time for reviewof <br />the Comprehensive Plan. <br />Mayor Muckle asked Planning Director Russ what would be the disadvantage of <br />approving Option #2 and then moving forward on a small area plan for the McCaslin <br />area.

She suggested givingsome backbone to the <br />flexibility. Shewas willing to support Option #3 so future proposals have a skeleton to <br />rely upon. <br />Mayor Pro Tem Dalton pointedoutthe Planning Commission’s marriage of Option #3 <br />andOption #4 to come up with Option #5.
