Wanda Wade-Mukherjee, 1015 South Boulder Road, Apt. 2-A, Louisville, Colorado, speaking for she and her husband, Subir Mukherjee, stated that her son attends St. Louis School.

She encouraged Council to approve this much needed space. Karen Richards, 163 Mountain View Court, a parent of Fireside Elementary School sent a letter that was read by Wanda Wade-Mukherjee in support this project to help ease the overcrowding problems of the public schools. Bruce Porcelli, 2122 Grayden Court, Louisville, Colorado, agreed with Wade-Mukherjee. He urged Council to approve this resolution. Victoria Gigone, 944 Grant Avenue, Louisville, Colorado, was not in opposition to the church and school. Her family's concern was with the traffic problems. It is difficult to park in front of their house due to people double parking in the street, as well as parked cars on either side. She was afraid for the children who run in and out among the cars. She asked Council to approve this with all of the Planning Commissions conditions, which cover all of her concerns. Dave Ferguson, 100 Aline Street, Louisville, Colorado, was in favor of the St. Louis expansion. He commented that Louisville's growth had added hundreds of families to the Parish and many new students to the school. Parochial schools are self imposed taxes that only users pay and his family had been supporting two school systems for over 40 years. He urged Council's support of this project. David and Alisa Burrous, 924 Grant Avenue, Louisville, Colorado, asked that Resolution No. 11 be passed by Council, subject to the conditions stipulated by the Planning Commission. He commented that traffic, noise, and parking problems connected to the business operations of the church/school had resulted in the devaluation of their property values according to an independent appraisal. They felt conditions No. 1, 2, and 4 spoke directly to the protection of their residential neighborhood. Terry Wynne, 598 West Ash Street, Louisville, Colorado, encouraged Council to vote in favor of the project. 4
