Louisville City Council Meeting December 16, 2003 Page 6 of 18 has been irregular and referenced the proposal to extend the terms of the Planning Commissioners to review the STK proposal as inappropriate. He addressed the Ward III meeting, where the citizens expressed their opposition to the development on the STK property. He stated the Planning Commission would review the Citizens' Comprehensive Plan amendment next month. The plan prohibits housing, but allows commercial development on the STK property. He requested open houses sponsored by the City to receive citizen input. He urged Council to reject the annexation of STK. Susan Morris, 939 W. Maple Court, Louisville, CO, stated an annexation should be a benefit to the community. She stated the STK plan presents planning problems, financial problems and legal problems with the vested rights issues. She voiced her belief the plan does not benefit the community and requested the City deny the STK annexation proposal. Doug Grinbergs, 530 W. Sycamore Circle, Louisville, CO, addressed the December 2, 2003 meeting, which lasted over six hours and expressed his concern there is no citizen support for this project. He noted he had not spoken to any citizens who support the annexation. Cindy Bedell, 662 West Willow, Louisville, CO, stated she purchased her home in Louisville to live in a small, quaint community. She voiced her opinion the STK commercial proposal could be better and the 80-acrea parcel could be purchased for open space. She stated the development would overcrowd the City's facilities. She urged Council to deny their proposal. City Attorney Sam Light requested that the record for the public hearing on the STK application include the following documents: All documents the applicants have filed since October 7, 2003 relating the annexation, all written comments filed with the City since October 7, 2003 regarding the proposed annexation, all material included in the City Council packet, and any other public records included in the Planning Department files since October 7, 2003.
