<br />coffers to use to benefit the citizens of Louisville. The wording being used for this ordinance is <br />specific to sales and use tax only. The restrictions within Tabor restricting our mill levy and requiring <br />a 3 % reserve will still remain in tact. <br /> <br />Davidson opened the public hearing and called for anyone wishing to speak on Ordinance 1226. <br /> <br />NONE <br /> <br />Davidson closed the public hearing and called for Council questions or motions. <br /> <br />Howard and Lathrop agreed that the City was not trying to circumvent the law, but retain control <br />of the City's destiny. <br /> <br />Davidson stated that the Tabor Amendment did not make any sense for a sales tax based city like <br />Louisville. He pointed out that cities across the state had overwhelmingly de-Bruced. <br /> <br />Mayer moved that Council approve Ordinance No. 1226, Series 1996, calling a Special Election to <br />allow City use of all collected sales and use tax, at second reading. Seconded by Howard. Roll call <br />was taken. Motion passed by a 7 - 0 vote. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION/DIRECTION - LETTER OF INTENT TO ANNEX - MR & MRS. OWEN - <br />SO. 96TH ST. - 22.46 ACRES ON SOUTH 96TH STREET <br /> <br />Sisk asked to be excused due to a conflict of interest. <br /> <br />Davidson excused Sisk. <br /> <br />Paul Wood, Planning Director, stated that the property does meet the minimum requirement for <br />contiguity. The property is currently occupied by a single family home, several barns, and several out <br />buildings used for their equestrian business. The owner wanted the property zoned Agriculture and <br />they wanted the continued residential and equestrian uses recognized. The property owners would <br />eventually like to add a second mobile or manufactured residential unit on the property and enhance <br />the improvements associated with the equestrian business, perhaps an indoor arena. The applicants <br />also requested a waiver of the annexation application fee ($1,204), the service expansion fees on the <br />existing residence and second residence, a water tap for the existing residence with the tap fee being <br />waived, and water rights and public land dedication. The applicant requested that he be allowed to <br />share the same water service for both residences. The property owner will incur all hook -up costs <br />to the water system. The owner will remain on septic until development of the property. <br /> <br />Davidson called for the applicant's presentation. <br /> <br />AI Owen, 1474 So. 96th Street, Louisville, Colorado, was there to answer any questions. <br /> <br />4 <br />
