wo=.ld ever be built there, because there were mines there. She <br />knew it was their responsibility to check that out and they had <br />not.. She was hoping that the hill that goes down from Dillon Road <br />to the Golf Course is kept there. <br /> <br />Betty Solek, 725 Lincoln Avenue, Louisville, Colorado, didn't feel <br />the growth policy was strict enough about the limits on the number <br />of houses that can be built in Louisville. She asked the Council <br />to consider the housing values of the Louisville homeowners. She <br />felt that Louisville will end up with a glut of housing without the <br />tax base the City needs to support that. She thought the value of <br />the housing would decline. <br /> <br />Dave Calbots, 725 Lincoln Avenue, Louisville, Colorado, stated that <br />in last November's election all four City Council candidates ran on <br />the controlled growth platform. He didn't believe this town needed <br />11~ grocery stores or 147 gas stations. He was concerned about the <br />sck.ool overcrowding. He wanted controlled growth. <br /> <br />Margaret Hornbostel, 655 West Hawthorn Street, Louisville, <br />Colorado, encouraged the Council to vote for the growth policy and <br />then stick to it. <br /> <br />Davidson called for anyone else in the audience wishing to speak on <br />Res. olution No. 36. <br /> <br />NOS'E <br /> <br />Davidson closed the public hearing and called for Council comments. <br /> <br />Lathrop stated that most the responses to the survey generally <br />favored controlled or moderate growth, which he agreed with. He <br />read three responses that he felt representative of the survey <br />responses. He stated that, if Louisville can improve and maintain <br />what they have and develop the financial strength to continue in <br />the future, then Louisville will have the ability to maintain the <br />flexibility that will be required to do what it needs to do in the <br />future. He felt strongly that the City is sacrificing the <br />diversity of its housing very quickly and is not providing in any <br />way for the less affluent people to live in this community. <br /> <br />Howard stated to those who believe that Louisville is becoming an <br />el].tist community, that that should not be used as an excuse to <br />bu].ld more houses. He did not agree with the survey comment that <br />Resolution No. 36 is not strict enough. He felt the growth policy <br />is not going to shut the town down, but it gives Council the <br />ab].lity to say "no" when no is appropriate. <br /> <br />Sis.k felt that Resolution No. 36 was long overdue in terms of what <br />the: citizens really want. <br /> <br />8 <br /> <br /> <br />
