<br /> <br />Members of the Public: <br />Charles Hunter: 949 St. Andrews Lane, Louisville, CO 80020. He purchased a home in Louisville <br />8 years ago and the power line is in his backyard. He does not support the relocation of the line <br />because it demonstrates the ultimate in Not In My Back Yard ism (NIMBYism). He does support <br />the replacement of the line. <br /> <br />David Waldman: 255 Centennial View Dr., Louisville, CO 80020. He lives on the east/west <br />section of the power line before it turns south through the rest of the city. He cautioned the <br />Commission and Xcel Energy to change the wording of future communication so that all citizens <br />understand what section of the line they are referring to. Until Monday he did not feel that he <br />should be concerned. At that time he had a conversation with Mr. Diehl that clarified the extent of <br />the replacement. He is not convinced that the replacement is needed solely for Louisville as they <br />(Xcel) are leading people to believe. He feels that we are not getting the straight or whole story <br />from Xcel. If the Commission is going to consider an underground proposal he feels it is unfair to <br />bury only part of the power line. <br /> <br />Lipton requested if there were other members of the public that wished to address the Planning <br />Commission. Hearing none he moved to Commission questions of either staff or applicant. <br /> <br />Commission Questions: <br />Commissioner Kalish expressed concern over the public notification process for the original <br />hearing. Wood stated that notices were sent out in the typical manner and cannot confirm what <br />the 500-foot radius list of residents comprised. He would try to clarify for the Commission if they <br />desire. <br /> <br />Pritchard had a question for the applicant – Will technology improve in the future for the potential <br />to bury an electric utility line? Diehl answered that yes, he believed technology would change and <br />the cost would change as well. <br /> <br />Hearing no other questions Lipton requested a staff summary. <br /> <br />Staff Summary: <br />Wood stated that staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 1, Series 2001, a resolution <br />recommending denial of a Special Review Use to rebuild an above ground, 115 KV electric <br />transmission line for Xcel Energy based upon findings and conclusions lettered ‘a’ through ‘o’ <br />inclusive by the Planning Commission. The Commission may approve with modifications, and/or <br />additions to the findings and conclusions. <br /> <br />Lipton requested summary from applicant. <br />Applicant Summary: <br />No summary given by applicant. <br /> <br />Lipton closed the Public Hearing and requested Commission comments. <br /> <br />Public Hearing Closed / Commission Comments / Vote: <br /> <br /> 4 <br /> <br />
