DISCUSSION/DIRECTION - LETTER OF INTEREST TO ANNEX - JAMES AND KATIE MAURER Paul Wood, Planning Director, stated that the Maurer's are requesting to annex a 1.156 acre parcel located between Coal Creek Ranch Filing No. 4 to the north and Dillon Road to the south, with access frontage on Dillon Road. The propose to plat the parcel for three single-family detached homes with an average lot size of 16,000 s.f. Davidson called for the applicant's presentation. James Maurer, applicant, felt the major concern was the access. He commented that the Planning Department felt it would be less of a hazard for the access to come off of St. Andrews Lane. Davidson called for Council questions. Howard wondered who owned the property needed on St. Andrews Lane. Maurer stated that the property is a 100' wide gas line easement. Both Martin Exploration Company and West Gas have lines that run under the property. They felt there would not be a problem in crossing that as long as there is about 6' of dirt over the top of the gas lines and gave them the right to dig up the driveway, if they ever needed to. Howard wanted the access on St. Andrews Lane confirmed by written document. Lathrop was concerned with the topography of the parcel and where the open space dedication would come from with three houses on the property. He felt the property should be annexed with access off of St. Andrews Lane. Mayer agreed with Lathrop. He did not like common driveways. Sisk wondered about the bike path crossing. Maurer talked with Joanne Dufty, Boulder County, who wanted to have some signage there. The closest homesite would be 70', which would give a lot of sight distance. 13
