Louisville City Council Meeting <br />March 5, 2002 <br />Page 7 <br /> <br />John Sackett, CEO, Avista Adventist Hospital, 100 Health Park Drive, Louisville, CO, <br />expressed his pride in the project. He explained that it began with a neighborhood <br />meeting where neighbors voiced their fear that growth of the hospital facility would <br />infringe on their properties. He noted that the Scriffany property, with its rural <br />designation, was difficult to sell, and when the Carlson property became available, it <br />provided a buffer between the hospital and the neighboring homes. He stressed that the <br />hospital does not net any additional land, but the campus is better utilized, and the density <br />is focused toward the 36 corridor, and additional buffering is provided along US 36. <br /> <br />COUNCIL QUESTIONS <br /> <br />Mayer voiced concern over the change in setbacks. He emphasized that the proposal <br />represents a land trade. He stated that previously, the property to the north had a 100' <br />buffer, and it has been reduced to 50'. The setback from the 3-story development is now <br />220' when it was previously 200'. Mayer asked why the City would want to reduce the <br />setbacks. <br /> <br />Sackett stated that the setbacks were planned to provide for maximum flexibility for <br />future expansions. <br /> <br />Lynn A. Moore, Davis Partnership Architects, 2301 Blake Street, #100, Denver, CO, <br />stated that the proposal reflected separation from residential property and any <br />development, which may occur on the medical campus. She noted that there was an <br />additional 65 linear feet added, which brings the total to 165 linear feet to the property <br />line. She noted there is also an additional 50', and summarized that the distance is twice <br />what was previously there, with a 100' setback. <br /> <br />Mayer stated that reducing the se back must be justified. He noted that the City is giving <br />an equivalent amount of rural open space land. <br /> <br />Davidson asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak on Resolution No. 5, <br />Ordinance Nos. 1379 and 1380. Hearing none Davidson closed the public hearing. <br /> <br />RESOLUTION NO. 5, SERIES 2002 - A RESOLUTION CONCERNING A <br />PETITION FOR THE ANNEXATION OF PROPERTY TO THE CITY OF <br />LOUISVILLE, COLORADO, KNOWN AS THE AVISTA ADVENTIST <br />HOSPITAL ANNEXATION, AND FINDING THE AREA PROPOSED TO BE <br />ANNEXED ELIGIBLE FOR ANNEXATION <br /> <br />MOTION: Keany moved that Council approve Resolution No. 5, Series 2002, seconded <br />by Levihn.
