2.) 3.) that, if possible, the boundaries of Parcel 1 should be redrawn, so as to keep it approximately 63 acres in size. Griffiths reviewed a map (draft proposal), which she handed out to Council, that was provided to her by the Boulder County Attorney, which redraws, in a preliminary fashion, Parcel 1, so that it's still 63 acres in size. She commented that there are two (2) options for Parcel 2 and 3. Parcel 4 would still remain the 24 acres in the northwest corner of the property. Boulder County asked if there could be some decision from the Council at this meeting, as to whether Council really wants to redraw the boundaries of Parcel 1. If so, which of the versions would be most acceptable? Lafayette and Boulder County representatives agreed to the redrawing, which is the draft proposal.

Concerning the obligation of the two (2) regulatory bodies over the uphill property, City of Louisville and Boulder County, this paragraph in the IGA requires Louisville and Boulder County to continue to enforce their existing drainage regulations on the uphill property and to notify each of the other parties of any amendments to those drainage regulations for a period of 20 years, and that any amended regulations will be at least as stringent in regulating drainage affecting the property, as those existing at the time of execution. In addition, it requires Boulder County and Louisville to, in good faith, review their existing drainage regulations for adequacy and for consistency with regional drainage plans, policies, and procedures. It does not require Louisville or Boulder County to adopt any regulation at 2
