Hundley stated that a petition has been submitted <br />requesting the annexation of approximately 230 <br />acres of land generally located east of Homart and <br />between Cherry Street and Dillon Road. The appli- <br />cants, Coal Creek Associates, Inc., are requesting <br />that the property be zoned PCZD for a golf course <br />and 620 residential units. <br />Chuck Bellock, Cowl Creek Associates Inc., 255 <br />Canyon Blvd. #202, Boulder, briefly described the <br />proposed project stating that a community of <br />interest for the citizens of Louisville and the <br />residents of this area is demonstrated by <br />providing a golf course open to the public, a <br />scenic corridor along Colorado 36 at the approach <br />to Louisville, preserving Coal Creek as part of an <br />open space donation comprising up to 50$ of the <br />annexation, and the master planning of a neighbor- <br />hood that would feature executive housing and a <br />possible retirement center. <br />Scarpella stated that he attended a meeting <br />wherein a presentation of the the Coal Creek Ranch <br />was made to the residents of Ward III. Concerns <br />were expressed over the improvements to Dillon <br />Road. This would be worked out through the <br />Planning process, Mayor Fauson stated, including <br />Council's final action on the proposed project. <br />Szymanski asked ifs the annexation is contingent <br />upon the golf coux•se being built in this land. <br />Bellock stated that it is his hope that they <br />provide the golf course. <br />Szymanski questioned whether the proposed type of <br />housing was truly filling a void in the City. <br />Also, the fact that most of the land for the <br />proposed golf course is in a flood plain concerned <br />Szymanski as to whether it is actually capable of <br />being developed. Wanush stated that the policy of <br />the City currently represents keeping as much of <br />Coal Creek as opera as possible. <br />Szymanski summarized his concerns with the project <br />stating, "I guess I'm trying to picture in my mind <br />where the real community of interest is here. I <br />really don't see ghat much benefit to it." <br />Bellock stated that by having this property in the <br />City, under City control and master planned, that <br />all the open space: could provide scenic trails and <br />easements through the property. If it remains in <br />the County, parcels could be sold off and a master <br />plan wouldn't be possible. <br />4 <br />
