He felt the lights were a waste of taxpayers money. Davidson suggested he call the Public Works Department to discuss the reasons for the street lights, their wattage, etc. If there was still a problem, he suggested Cummings talk to Council again. Kate McCoy, 977 Arapahoe Circle, Louisville, Colorado, had Cummings' same concerns. She had talked to Public Works and was told the lights were for safety. She was upset that the whole house had an orange glow in it. She liked the lights at each intersection, but felt the others were excessive. She wanted to enjoy the night sky. Davidson explained that they are lowering the wattage of the lights. REQUEST FOR MODIFICATIONS TO LANDSCAPE PLAN; CENTENNIAL APARTMENTS, RANDY G. NICHOLS, THE NICHOLS PARTNERSHIP, INC. Randy Nichols, The Nichols Partnership, Inc., 6118 Old Brompton Road, Boulder, Colorado, a development partner in the Centennial Apartment complex on McCaslin and Dillon Road, requested discussion of the their landscape plan. A landscape intent plan was originally presented in August 1993. They have since had a landscape architect review the plan and he found some significant flaws, such as being over-planted to the extent that it will cause tree die-off, excessive water usage, and the entire site will be in shade so there will be no green grass or open space, if all of the trees shown on their site. They had presented the new landscape plan to staff who deferred it to Council. He asked to get on an upcoming Agenda. Davidson told Nichols to contact his Councilpersons from Ward II to be put on the Agenda. Davidson called for anyone else wanting to speak on any items not on the Agenda. NONE
