Lathrop stated that he needed more justification for changing a fee structure than what had been presented in Council's packet. Mayer stated that Tom Talboom, Chief Building Official, had stated that this would make it consistent with the way commercial use tax is generated in the City. He stated that building construction could not be done for $48.00/sq. ft.

Davidson moved that Council continue this to the next meeting. Seconded by Howard. All in favor with Sisk being absent. Keany asked that there also be a comparison of surrounding communities and how their permits are figured. Ray Schlott, 647 Manorwood Lane, Louisville, Colorado, reminded Council that three or four weeks ago they had met on a different subject and the Councilmembers brought up the fact that they had higher costs than what they wanted to see for homes in this area. He stated that if it is a significant increase, this would add to that kind of cost. He commented that there had been an introduction of several practices within the Building Department that have also added costs which amounts to several hundred dollars on each house built in Louisville. He suggested using the UBC book as a guide and consider what the multiplication factor might be, as far as being used, in order to come up with the rates.

Building coverage would be approximately 10,800 s.f. plus the 5,800 s.f. atrium and courtyard for a 36% lot coverage, slightly over the 35% maximum lot coverage. Landscaping will be 32% of the site. There will be 23 parking spaces which is more than required. A portion of the site is constrained by the 100 year floodplain. The applicant is seeking a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), which would put the site outside of the 100 year limit. It may still require a floodplain development permit from the Board of Adjustment for the parking lot and other portions of the development that may be located partially within the 100 year floodplain. The Special Review Use request was due to the property being in a split zone between R-L and R-M. Davidson called for the applicant's presentation. (Applicant-unidentified) stated that they had met with the neighbors that lived within 500' of the property to gather their concerns and ideas for the site, which they tried to use in the development 7
