Louisville City Council Meeting <br />May 21, 2002 <br />Page 4 <br /> <br />Davidson stated that the City owns senior water rights in the South Boulder Basin, <br />however, only the most senior rights are fight are pulling water now. He explained that <br />about a third of the City's water is Colorado Big Thompson, which was stored last year. <br /> <br />Chuck Hill, 233 Jackson Circle, Louisville, CO stated that he agreed that there is a water <br />shortage. He requested that Council grant him the freedom to utilize his water allotment <br />however he wishes. <br /> <br />Larry Baxley, 319 W. Hawthom Court, Louisville, CO concurred that the water shortage <br />is a serious problem, and noted that some residents will use more water than he. He <br />agreed with the Council member Mayer's suggested water conservation methods. <br /> <br />David Slavin, 358 W. Eisenhower Drive, Louisville, CO asked if the City considered the <br />5-year drought when planning the development for new homes and businesses. He <br />expressed his concern that a water restriction plan was put into place without notification <br />of a fine schedule for noncompliance. <br /> <br />Davidson explained that the Municipal Judge establishes the fine schedule. He noted that <br />any water restriction plan offered would have some opposition. <br /> <br />Mayer addressed the City's growth plan and referred to the original Water Raw Master <br />Plan of 1992, which anticipated the City's build out would require 9,000 acre-feet of <br />water. Because the City took proactive measures in terms of the rate of growth and <br />where growth occurred, and because the City bought a tremendous amount of open space, <br />the amount of water needed has been reduced to 6,000 - 6,500 acre-feet of water. He <br />stated that the Council took measures to get growth under control. He stated that the <br />average water usage for a single-family home must be reduced from 18,000 gallons per <br />month to 13,000 gallons per month. <br /> <br />REGULAR BUSINESS <br /> <br /> ORDINANCE NO. 1376, SERIES 2002 - AN ORDINANCE AMENDING <br />CERTAIN PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR FREESTANDING BUILDINGS <br />WITHIN DOWNTOWN LOUISVILLE AND ADJUSTING THE DOWNTOWN <br />LOUISVILLE PARKING IMPROVEMENT FEE - 2nd reading - public hearing <br />continued from 4/16/02 (advertised Daily Camera 3/9/02) <br /> <br />Davidson called for City Attomey introduction. <br /> <br />City Attorney Sam Light read Ordinance No. 1376, Series 2002. <br /> <br />Davidson called for Staff presentation. <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br /> <br />
