The applicant asked that the comments made during the presentation of Ordinance #906 be a matter of record for this Ordinance also. Mayor Fauson asked for public comments regarding this Ordinance. Margaret Harnbostel stated that she felt crossing U.S. 36 was a mistake and that it would take away the feeling of openness that brought many of Louisville's residents here. Carnival felt that some people are getting a wrong impression that this Council doesn't care about buffering. This particular area doesn't bring in tax dollars if left open and that is a major issue and concern of this Council. Sackett wants people in this community to know that "we are not trying to hide anything from them" regarding this or any future annexation proposals. Hundley concurred that the only other annexation request made to him south of U.S. 36 was by Mr. Carlson for a 1500 acre residential development of 8,000 units and Hundley conveyed to him that the City was not interested in having a City of equal size on the south side of U.S. 36. Szymanski stated that he is extremely interested in buffering but to say U.S. 36 should not be crossed doesn't ensure that development won't happen there. "Closing our eyes to the environment around us won't solve any problems at all." Mayor Fauson closed the public hearing and called for a motion. Mohr moved that Ordinance #907 be approved on final reading with those conditions spelled out in the approval of Ordinance #906. Anderson seconded. By Roll Call Vote, Ordinance #907 was adopted unanimously. ORDINANCE #908 - BIELLA/MENKICK ANNEXATION III - PUBLIC HEARING Rautenstraus read by title Ordinance #908, "An Ordinance annexing to the City of Louisville, Colorado, a parcel of approximately 46.22 acres located south of U.S. Highway 36, in Section 19 which is owned by George F. and Kyung S. Menkick." Proper publication and notice of public hearing were established. Mayor Fauson opened the public hearing. 10
