City Council Meeting Minutes May 19, 2015 Page 25 of 34 density, traffic and school enrollment. He voiced his concem over and opposed four story buildings. Lynda Newbold, representing the Owners of 1655 Main Street, Louisville, CO provided a handout to the City Council. As owner, they feel the project is at a very large cost for very little benefit. They feel this proposal splits their property down the middle. The proposal to realign and put in a pedestrian underpass affects five property owners. She thought there was not openness to the surrounding properties and felt there was not a cost benefit. She did not feel this is a realistic project. Mario Rini, 1358 Golden Eagle Way, echoed the comments relative to the density and the impacts to the schools. He addressed the height guidelines for 3 and 4 stories and felt it would be out of character for the City. Melissa Malerba, 1565 Main Street, Louisville, CO apologized for her emotional presentation. She echoed what Ms. Newbold had stated. She noted the proposed road goes right through her home. She bought the home to raise her family and as an investment. She has been following this process and has been limited in maintaining or investing in her property due to the length and delay of the City flagging her property for future City use. She was concemed about the length and delay, more studies and City stating there are no funds for this project. She felt there has been poor communication. She saw this as a costly project and the benefit is not there. She pled with the City to not delay a decision and to not put a road through her house. Joe Spanarella, 1515 Main Street, Louisville, CO, on behalf of Tesone family, noted they are trying to preserve the legacy of the family. He was uncertain how much of their property would be lost to this project and looked forward to being better educated about this project. Andrew LeCuyer, 1364 Golden Eagle Way, Louisville, CO thanked Council for engaging in a deliberate process for planning. He asked Council to carefully consider the change in character, school impacts and height restrictions. John Leary, 1116 Lafarge Avenue, Louisville, CO recently elected CAC chair, noted CAC does not usually take positions on items. He felt an obligation to represent the 270 signatures on a petition to not increase density. He noted the survey done by the City did not show future projects. The CAC survey showed what was in the pipeline. He didn't think the Survey Option really included what answers were on the survey. He felt some of the assumptions were incorrect. He wanted more clarity in the options. He was concerned about conditional things and long term impacts. Mayor Pro Tem Dalton left the meeting at 10:52 p.m.
