Planning Commission Meeting Minutes January 8, 2015 Page 11 of 23 objections at this stage. As the process goes through, he is sure there will be questions and concerns of adjacent property owners and neighbors when they see what the plans really look like. He will address Troy Russ's comment about Kaylix. We have had conversations about Kaylix coming through our property and we do not have an agreement. We have an understanding of what the alignment will be when it is built. Looking at the way the property is laid out, you are severing the property by putting the street through it and it can create problems that have not been addressed yet. He wants to make sure his concerns are part of the record. He has no agreement regarding the street at this time. He is friendly with everyone and willing to talk, but there are issues to be addressed as we go through it. He is generally in support of the annexation. This property obviously needs to be annexed. How much support it gets after we get to see more detail remains to be seen.

She thinks there will be more concerns for the BVSD, especially Louisville Elementary, and to keep conversations
