Wood stated that there needed to be an overall general review of those associated impacts on those arterials. Dan Blankenship, City Engineer, stated from Public Works point of view, that when a property is annexed, there is no way of knowing the exact use and traffic impacts. When an annexation comes forth, Public Works wants to get the right-of-way that would be required for a street in the future. Then, when the actual development is proposed, they can ask for a traffic impact study that would inform them of the proper road widths, signal modifications, etc. are warranted to adequately handle the traffic that is going to be generated by the development. There are a number of proposed projects in this area and they have been asking for traffic impact studies. The impact studies are directed towards the specific development. Mayer stated that he would be opposed to any parking garages or mass storage of any sort on the property. Lathrop asked the representative of the owner to clarify his intended uses. Bob Brisnehan, Box 337, Louisville, Colorado, called Council's attention to paragraphs $ and 9 in the annexation agreement, which he felt afforded Council all of the protection they needed. He stated that the owners had a concern about the second paragraph of No. 13, having to do with water rights. He explained that the Stelmach family has two shares of Marshall, which has been serving 52 acres and only 8 of the acres are being annexed. The city's resolutions regarding water right dedications currently in force have no dedication on commercial properties. The city does bargain in those resolutions for first right of refusal to acquire those shares. In talking to the Stalmach family about it, he felt that there is an allocation that would give the city a first right of refusal on some portion of those shares. He stated that their concern is that after they annex, amending the city's '88 and '89 resolutions, which says commercial properties have to donate those shares. He explained that this piece of property is not suitable for gasoline vending and they have no intention of storing anything on it. He stated that the owner would like to end the paragraph on the top of page 4, after" .... City in connection with annexations" with a period, eliminating everything after that in the paragraph. They are in the awkward situation of annexing today under the resolutions, as they are in place, and later on the city changes the resolutions and says, "You owe us two shares of Marshall." Griffiths: I assume that what you would want to do is to put the period, if you count the third line up from the bottom, "...agrees to comply with such resolutions", you would want to put a period there and, then, strike 9
