City Council Meeting Minutes May 21, 2013 Page 15 of 19 MOTION: Council member Loo moved to approve Resolution No. 29, Series 2013, seconded by Council member Jasiak. Roll call vote was taken. The motion carried by a vote of 7 -0. RESOLUTION No. 3, SERIES 2013 — A RESOLUTION DESIGNATING THE LOUISVILLE GRAIN ELEVATOR LOCATED AT 540 COUNTY ROAD A HISTORIC LANDMARK — Public Hearing - continued froml /8/13 and 3/5/13 Mayor Muckle requested a staff presentation. Planner I Robinson explained Resolution No. 3, Series 2013 is a request to landmark the Louisville Grain Elevator, an historic agricultural structure located at 540 County Road. The structure was built around 1908 and is owned by the City of Louisville. The application was originally heard on January 8, 2013, but continued to March 5, 2013, to allow time for a development partner to be found and offer input, and to allow more time to resolve outstanding boundary issues on the site. On March 5, 2013 the application was continued to May 21, 2013 to enable the City to have a signed agreement with a development partner and to resolve boundary and encroachment issues. As neither of those goals has been accomplished, staff recommended withdrawing the application to allow staff time to conclude negotiations with the Olde Town Group and with the property owner to the south. Once all outstanding concerns have been settled, the City can resubmit the application to landmark the Grain Elevator. Withdrawing the application will require a new public hearing before the Historic Preservation Commission before the application may be heard again by Council. The alternative is to continue to date certain, which will not require a new HPC hearing, but does require selection of a date for the next Council hearing. Staff recommended the City Council withdraw the landmark application for the Louisville Grain Elevator to be submitted at a later date. PUBLIC COMMENT Ashley Stolzmann, 370 S. Taft Court, Louisville, CO stated she was in favor of landmarking the Grain Elevator and felt it is the City's responsibility to landmark the property. She suggested setting a timeline rather than taking it off the table. She supported moving forward. COUNCIL COMMENTS Mayor Pro Tem Dalton was not in favor of withdrawing the application and restarting the process. He supported setting a date certain in July. Mayor Muckle concurred. Mayor Muckle called for public comment and hearing none closed the public hearing.
