homes or to refer this to the Board of Adjustment with instructions to approve the request of a variance for 555, 515, and 505 Orchard Drive. Secondly, approve the resolution to correct the PUD and bring it into compliance with the Meadows recorded C.C. & R's. Clayton "Swede" Johnson, 1900 - 15th Street, Boulder, Colorado, representing some of the homeowners, urged Council to vote in favor of the resolution. Lowell Campbell, 586 Cleveland Avenue, Louisville, Colorado, spoke against Council approving this resolution. He did not feel the PUD should be amended just because somebody failed in the responsibility of getting a proper survey. Anne-Marie Pattie, 748 Orchard Court, Louisville, Colorado, wanted Council to vote in favor of a 12' setback. She felt the sooner their neighborhood is completed, the safer it becomes. John P. Schneider, 748 Orchard Court, Louisville, Colorado, wanted the resolution to be approved. He felt Council had this opportunity to fix this administrative blunder. He wanted Council to give Ray Griffin the option of leaving his garage the way it is. Brian Dillman, 445 Orchard Drive, Louisville, Colorado, stated that the developer of this subdivision had continually ignored every problem, issue, and responsibility related to this subdivision. He was in favor of authorizing the changes. Davidson called for Council questions. Howard asked if a 16' compromise would accomplish the objectives of the neighborhood. Wood stated that it would still provide variety in architectural design in the buildout of the subdivision. He stated that the subdivision is only 10% completed, due to lack of marketability, due to lack of performance of the subdivision obligations by the subdivider. Howard asked if there was just one house that had a garage out of compliance. Peter Kernkamp, City Planner, stated that in terms of complying with the Building Code, everything complies. At 555 Orchard the current front-loaded garage is encroaching approximately 3.5' into the requked 20' setback. He explained that the proposal is to add on to that, the existing garage, within the 12' setback that is being proposed by this PUD amendment to convert it from a front-entry garage to a side entry garage. Mayer asked if Ray Griffin had an architect that represented that his home at 555 Orchard met City Code. Ray Griffiin affirmed that.
