Leary asked that Hobbs investigate how the Denver <br />Water Board views this contract. Also, does the <br />Board see this as a challenge to them. Leary <br />further indicated that he would like a study of <br />the economic impacts regarding what it might do <br />to have two huge conglomerates fighting for some <br />of the same issues, water, projects, etc., and the <br />economic effects of water acquisition. Also is it <br />in Louisville's best interest to be aligned with <br />Denver or someone else like Aurora? The political <br />implications need to be defined. <br />Luce asked that the City look at the broader <br />picture concerning where the City stands in terms <br />of water acquisition and strategy by assessing the <br />City's current water acquisition policy and its <br />validity relative to future water acquisition. <br />Leary also asked that any possible litigation <br />resulting from this contract be investigated from <br />the standpoint of the City's obligation <br />financially. <br />Mayor Meier moved that the Metropolitan Denver <br />Water Authority item be tabled until the next <br />Council Meeting and be discussed at the Council's <br />Study Session scheduled for the 26th of February. <br />Luce seconded and the motion was passed <br />unanimously. <br />RESOLUTION #3 <br />G.E. ENTERPRISES Rautenstraus react Resolution #3,"A Resolution <br />approving the Special Review Use for G.E. <br />Enterprises, Inc." in its entirety. <br />Appell gave a brief presentation stating that <br />Planning Commission approved this unanimously with <br />two conditions: 1) paving the customer parking <br />area; 2) delaying the improvements on Cannon <br />Street as this is a sub-lease situation and it <br />would be more appropriate as part of a Special <br />Improvement District. Planning Commission further <br />moved that Council be encouraged to approve the <br />initiation of a Special Improvement District. <br />Rick Kimble, Vice-President of G.E. Enterprises, <br />2425 Iris, Boulder, gave a presentation requesting <br />the customer parking issue be resolved by having <br />road base only until such time as the improvements <br />are made to Cannon. This would eliminate the <br />problem of mis-alignment of asphalt, curb, gutter, <br />etc. More that 5~0~ of retail nursery and garden <br />centers do NOT have paved customer parking. <br />3 <br />
